That being said, MIUI is the best ROM in existence.

dont talk about miui like that ive killed people for less

edit: wtf it wont let me ride the caps lock. It really doesnt have the same effect in all lowercase.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Ditto. Ask a hundred people what rom they are running, and you will get a hundred different answers. That's the beauty about roms, it only takes a few minutes to flash, so you can try a lot of different roms, and if you dont like them, flash a nandroid back to what you had before.

But each rom is good in it's own rights. It all depends on your preferences. And yes there are many threads on this topic already. Probably need to close this redundant thread.

yea, these crop up every week, but i Do like the poll option thing going on. if a **** ton of people participate, it might give a clear(er) veiw to the newbs what the "experts" like...? maybe? idk.

hm. while i think the miui is "neato", i would never use it as a DD. IMHO, kinda feels... goofy? just an opinion from someone using android since the G1. ;)

[EVO 4G General] MichaelMcEntire:
Myself would have to say Cm7 with MIUI as a very close second. CM7 is giving me better battery life by far and seems just a bit more stable. However I love MIUI's polish with things like its lockscreen music player and the cascade effect in launcher settings. Also MIUI gives me the best Quadrant scores of any rom.
[EVO 4G General] mikkodd:
Miui hands down
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Well, here is this exact same thread (same title and everything) that a **** ton of people voted on. MIUI won hands down with 227 votes, so I don't care if you think it's goofy (actually I do, it hurts TBQH).

Currently on cm7 rc2, it seemed that set CPU had no effect on the nightlies but, with rc2 I'm at 22% and have been off the charger since 630am, its now 930pm. So I like that. I used MIUI for a while but each time I had it, it would start rebooting every 5 minutes after I installed it for a week or so. I'd have to say, in gonna try that new destroyer from magnus, it looks sick!!!! In running the honeycomb theme on cm7 and magnus' rom looks just as sweet if lot better.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I'm lovin' myn's 2.2 at the moment. Came from Fresh which was the only other ROM I had tried until now. I just couldn't wait any longer for an update. I'm glad I made the switch to Myn's.

I'm tempted to give CM7 a try but I keep hearing about bugs and the thing is just so damn fugly.

Until they provide something similar to Sense in the contacts side (FB sync + integration of contact's SMS/Emails/Updates/Info/Etc.), and a decent looking weather/clock widget, I'll stick with Sense.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Your point?
[EVO 4G General] shoobshoober:
used miui from jan to march. been using cm7 since rc2 came out. really loving gingerbread. everything is much smoother. I use go launcher and keep the theme similar to what i had on miui.
[EVO 4G General] bdejong11129:
I started on Warm Rls 4, then on to Warm Rls 5. Right now I am using Warm Z and like it for the functions of the new sense but a few things are missing so I may give the two mentioned here a try.

CM7 and Miks's roms
[EVO 4G General] parmend:
Myns. 2.2 !!!. I've tried miui, cm7 rc2, miks rom, myns is the most stable and sleekest imo.
[EVO 4G General] cloak.n.dagger:
Myn's Z is sweet, Sense 2.0 brings some much needed improvements/features. But, without 4G and front facing camera it's not a DD for me. CM7 has all the sweetness, only missing HDMI. With HDMI mirroring right around the corner, I think CM will soon be feature complete. I've tried MIUI a few times and, while it looks pretty, it's just not stable enough for me. Lots of random reboots and manual reboots just to keep things working. It is nice to have an option that brings a completely new feel to my device, though. The best thing is I can run them all, when I want and how I want, cuz Android is the shiznit!

CM7 Destroyer, CM7 nitelies, and Myns warm 2.2 RLS 5. My favorite has to be the destroyer. Super smooth and fast.

[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
How's the battery life on Destroyer? I'm going to give it a go this weekend when I have more time to mess with it. I'm not used to a non-sense ROM, so I will probably need extra time to set it up.
[EVO 4G General] jumperallday15:
I'm using savagedzen 1.2 kernel with it and battery life is great. I unplugged it at 7am this morning and its at 87% rite now. That's of course if I have 4G turned off. Otherwise my battery life has improved big time.

Sent from CM7 Destroyer EVO
[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
Wow, that's amazing. I hardly ever use 4g, and don't make it past an hour until I'm below 87%.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm looking forward to trying this out.
[EVO 4G General] jumperallday15:
I'm not an expert on this Rom kernel stuff but I think its the kernel that made the differece. My battery life was crap until I flashed savagedzen 1.2. Good luck man hope you'll have the same result I did.
[EVO 4G General] vvette:
MIUI Madness!!!

MIUI all the way (no contest)..I have tried most all other ROMS...they all look the same..chaotic and boring.
[EVO 4G General] JasonK75:
MIUI is what pulled me away from CM 7 and been loving it ever since. :D
[EVO 4G General] jumperallday15:
i guess it's all personal preference. i used miui for a while too but i just didn't like the ui at all. i'm just too use to having an app drawer rather than swiping through pages. too much like the iphone which i use to own and didn't like haha. anyways, not hating on any roms or dissing them but i just like the cyanogen mod. that's just me. i keep coming back to it after trying new roms out there for some reason and i guess that's because i like it the best.
[EVO 4G General] jumperallday15:
quick dumb question...is 4G working on miui yet?
[EVO 4G General] psirex:
can someone point in the direction of a good 2.0 sense rom.... And any gb roms with sense?
[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
Thanks I will give that kernel a try. Is that an SBC kernel? Although sounds like that may not be needed with your guys' results.
[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
Re: MIUI

I tried it for a bit but it was way too much like the iPhone, which is maybe the point. Or is there another draw to using that ROM?
[EVO 4G General] jumperallday15:
I'm pretty sure it's SBC.
[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
Oh good, I've been pretty happy with Netarchys SBC kernels.
[EVO 4G General] vvette:
Thats a Great thing and I hope they continue to copy whatever Apple does (Just like Windows has been doing for 30 years)!
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I have used almost every setup there is, and most are pretty good, except they all have an issue or 2 that makes me feel incomplete when it comes to my phone.

Sense Roms: King's Ultra Froyo and Ultra Froyo 2, Koni's Elite 1 and Elite 2. ALL of those are pretty equal. Very fast, smooth, beautiful looking, but no matter what kernel I tried, battery life was garbage. One thing about my phone is I tried almost every NetArchy Kernel there is, I bet, and never got a good battery on a Sense ROM.

Miui: I can see why people like it, but I just don't like having all my apps on the desktop and switching to LPP takes away part of the allure of havng Miui. The theme changer wouldn't install any of the themes I downloaded. Plus, I had issues with screen flicker, but I understand I did the update wrong, so that may be where that came from. Also, I spent over an hour alphabetizing my apps... damn OCD!

CM7: By FAR the best battery life, with the kernel I use, SavagedZen 009, but the GPS navigation thing is an issue. I take my phone off the charger at 6AM, and by 11PM, after moderate to heavy use, I'm never below 50%. Still, I want those Sense Widgets. LPP has them, but in People, for instance, you don't get the user pics from Facebook, and all the entries are just the stock Android image. One other thing on CM7, that is intolerable, is that it takes a coon's age to copy anything to my SDCard. I did a back up, and reformat the other night and it took an hour and a half to copy my music back (just under a gig), for example

I want to try Destroyer, but I'm reading that a lot of people are having issues with that, too.

For me, the best, most complete ROM there is, is VaelPak 3.2. It has everything you want. Almost like all the different Mods were combined to make one insane ROM. More custumization options than CM/Sense and MiUi put together, puls packs of goodies that come with the ROM installed on the SDCard. I can't remember why I took it off now, but I think it was the battery life, again, was horrible. Dropped 15% in less than 2 hours with the stock kernel. Although, I didn't keep it on long enough to really test other kernels with it, and there are a few that people using it say give them fanatastic battery life.
[EVO 4G General] Rivertamer:
Really surprised no one mentioned KONI'S ELITE 2..........I was using myn's warm rls5 but checked out koni's and never looked back......it is flawless.......looks great.....fast and smooth........ELITE 3 is getting close to release time and I know it will be awesome.....check it out for yourself....you won't be sorry....!

[Atrix 4G General] justflorin:
Anyway to limit these two occurances, seems they are the worst at battery sucking...
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Not really, all they are basically saying is "this is how much power the phone used doing nothing" short of actually turning the phone off its unavoidable.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
if they show the most battery drain then there is probably a program that is still running when you phone is in sleep mode and killing your battery
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Yesterday for the first time ever I got a popup window telling me that Google Voice was running for too long and was killing the battery. It asked if I wished to end the process or continue. Had never seen that before, so I'm guessing it has to do with Moto's Battery Manager. Either way, there could be services eating up cycles during "sleep" time.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpa:
So this has happened twice in one day already, after wiping data, cache, and dalvik and re-flashing SC 2.9. My contacts sync fine for a while, but then I try and link them to my facebook contacts and sooner or later every contact disappears and my google account says there's a sync issue and to try again later. No matter what I do, I can't get my contacts back without wiping everything and starting over again.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a fix for it aside from not syncing my facebook contacts?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpa:
And now I flash back to 2.8 and it starts happening here, too >.> maybe if I don't restore anything and just let all my apps install from the market...

So i request that mmelo either tries and helps us out, or we get a new moderator because frankly, i'm sick of it, these newbies that come and do all this make us senior members that have been here for a while and understand society act mean as well.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prsguitaruser:
So I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC and I'm really digging it. But when I try to mount my sdcard from the phone, it doesn't show up under my places menu. I'm running GSB 1.8.1. I don't have a problem mounting it under windows XP, and also have no problem using the wired tether function. Is there anything I can change on the phone or in Ubuntu to fix this?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - inside a Virtual Machine - and I can mount the drive from inside the VM. (Believe me, that's even trickier than what you are trying).

But, 10.10 might have had some changes, and I wouldn't be surprised if your result depended on which desktop you are running; so maybe you need to mount the thing manually.

Try this:

With the phone unplugged, type

$ sudo /bin/bash

# tail -f /var/log/messages

This will continue to show you various kernel messages as they appear. Next, plug in the phone.

Hopefully, you will see some lines scroll by that mention USB.

Next, mount the SD to the PC from the phone. If all goes well, you should now see some mention of "SCSI" devices /dev/sdX, where X is probably "a", "b" "c" "d". Probably you will also see mention of the first partition on the device, such as "/dev/sdb1". Make a note of this drive device name.

Cancel the "tail" command (Ctrl-C) and do a

# mount | grep sdb1

( note device name "sdb1" ; use whatever you saw previously )

This will show you if the device is already mounted somewhere.

If the device has not been mounted, you can manually mount it, as in:

# mkdir -p /mnt/Eris_SD

# mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Eris_SD

( Again, note device name "sdb1" - use whatever you saw previously. If it doesn't recognize the file system, use "mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Eris_SD" )

Hopefully that will do it. Don't forget to "umount /mnt/Eris_SD" when you are done.

If the device never shows up in the /var/log/messages file, then you have some other problems.

If you don't see anything in the log file indicating USB activity, well - you ought to investigate what is going on at the USB port.

Right now my phone is booted into Amon_RA; if I issue the "lsusb" command, I see:

Bus 001 Device 031: ID 0bb4:0c98 High Tech Computer Corp.

BTW, on my VM, it seems like I need to unplug the USB cable after I dismount the drive, or the next time I export the SD card to the PC, the kernel recognizes it, but the automounter doesn't automatically mount it.

Another thing that you might try to make things more automatic is the instructions in "Step #5" of this XDA post. This is meant for allowing an unprivileged user on your Ubuntu box to use ADB or fastboot without needing to "sudo" to root. I did this on my VM - I don't think that's the reason that the phone automounts into the SD drive, but perhaps it is related - the same "Vendor_ID" is in use when the phone is in "Composite ADB mode".

When you get to the part in these instructions about restarting the "udev" subsystem, unplug your USB cable first - and then see what you get when you plug it in and fire up the SD export from the phone.

hope that helps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
I noticed this on my desktop with a full install of Ubuntu. I knew it was connected because the charge led was lit, but I would have to unplug the usb and plug it back in almost every time just to get it to mount or connect to the internet with wired tether. I never messed with it BUT it did seem to fix itself once I started doing the system updates on Ubuntu.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prsguitaruser:
When I got to this step, the log didn't show anything when I mounted the sdcard from the phone. On a whim I tried rebooting the phone into the recovery (AmonRA 1.6.2) and then the log showed it as /sdc. If I turn on USB Mass Storage from the recovery, Ubuntu recognizes it then. On a side note, I'd been having trouble getting ADB to recognize my phone until I did this. But shouldn't this also work with the phone fully booted? Maybe it's GSB?

EDIT: I flashed the Stock Sense 2.1 rom to see if everything worked and it did. I rerooted and restored a backup I made this morning to GSB, and Ubuntu recognizes my sdcard when I mount it, and ADB now works. Thanks for your help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In case this helps, GSB mounts the SD card through USB just fine with Windows. Don't take my comment as a Windows versus Ubuntu, thing, however. Just for whatever it's worth.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Glad to here you got this fixed:)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Great news! I don't know how I missed your edit since I quoted it in my last response. I must've had this thread open in my browser from before, and went to respond to it after your edit.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prsguitaruser:
OK, so I went back to GSB and had the problem again. I found out that ADB works and the sdcard mounts until I turn on wired tether, then if I turn wired tethering off, my sdcard still won't mount, nor will ADB recognize my phone, until I reboot the phone. Every time I've tried to mount the sdcard, I've made sure to turn tethering off. But it seems like tethering is what kills it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Are you using the tethering abilities built into CM7 (for wired you have to use the Tether Widget from the market, but that's it), or are you using the "for root" apps? IMHO, the "for root" apps are redundant and don't work as well as the native tethering in CM6 and CM7.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Really? Because I have never been able to get "native" tethering to work. They appear to be working but there not allowing data to pass through. :confused:

Also I only use the ones posted on Google's source page.

I believe there may be an issue here that isn't faulted by the phone or the tethering apps. I think it has something to do with the way Ubuntu reacts to the change between allowing data inbound and when it goes back to remounting the phone and its SD card. Honestly if you can I would say allow your Ubuntu to do its system updates then see what happens.

@ roirraW "edor" ehT, no harm intended at the top of my post. Just my personal observation of how these things generally work out for me. Heh.

Powered by: GSB CM7
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just curious, did you have the opportunity to try the native tethering under Froyo/CM6 as well, or did you only try it under CM7? I haven't needed the tethering since before I started to try CM7, so I actually don't know from personal experience if Cyanogen has made the tethering work correctly under it yet. I didn't have any trouble with it under CM6, besides the usual occasional semi-random tethering failures.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adaneshade:
My ubuntu 10.10 install handles native tethering just fine. However, that stupid bug where the Eris loses data connection randomly. while natively tethered kicks in.

The only solution I've found is to use AziLink (seems to solve the random disconnect as well as pdanet does.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks, I'll keep them both in mind. I tried PDANet a long time ago and it didn't keep the tethering from failing, but maybe they improved it.
