Rom suggestion for the old lady

Looking for a stripped down rom for the wife. Something fast and stable with no fluff. I'm running cm on it now and its decent but still kinda sluggish.
She really only cares about web, camera and the phone. She doesn't load apps or anything else. I don't mind running a 2.1 rom either if its fast.
People with cm, would you say its a fast as you can get and I'm trying for too much out of that little guy? Thanks for any input.

CM6 is sluggish?? really wat r u doing to make it sluggish? its prolly the fastest most stable rom ive used so far besides fresh 2.4.

For fast 2.1 I'd go with zen or NFX roms

pancake 1.5 the fastest ive ever tried

I just ripped one from an RUU for her... we'll see how it runs. Otherwise I'll look into some of the others mentioned here. Thanks for the input.

In case anyone wanted it, I dont know what all is floating around the hero community.
Its based off RUU 2.20.651.1 It includes the radio. It WILL wipe your Hero by default. I removed all the sprint software (cept VVM) and some of the other stuff like footprints, twitter... uhh anything but facebook. I added root explorer and wifi tether. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! See ya's
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9854439/For-the-ladies.zip
PS. it did seem to take awhile to first boot into it, Im used to the EVO so dont know how quickly the Heros come up as a norm.

Which one is right for you?

So i am familiar with flashing phones somewhat. Used to jailbreak iphones but lost interest since the iphail screen broke and was just a POS in general. Been using a blackjack2 ever since which never failed me till recent.
Big upgrade to the inspire so even ATT Rom would be "WOW" to me. Question is how do i know what rom to flash. Which one is right for me. So many out there.
I am looking to flash the phone and then unlock it but what rom has the least amount of glitches that is running pretty smooth and allows all functions to be used.
Was lurking around for a bit and saw this.

roms are chosen by preference really the only way to find a rom that best suits you is to try them all till you find 1 that you like
now the link that you posted is the rom that i first went with & never looked back try it out & see how you like it

yea from what i have been reading this is confusing and its down to personal preff. Quiet honestly i dont want to keep switching things even though its not that hard.
I was searching and also found that leedroid is praised upon but i think leedroid is just better than stock with the bloatware out plus a few added bonuses vs the link i provided is loaded compared to leedroid.
Not sure on what to do here. I dont mind the battery life staying where its at. An increase would deff be good but its my first nice phone in a while so i want to enjoy it.

I like sense. So I am biased towards sense based roms. But leedroids has been on my phone the longest. I have tried 4 others and of course a stock that I ripped out all the bloat. I keep returning to leedriod. the dudes rom is amazing
Make a rom back up of each and that way you can just return to what you like the most.

Was looking into CM7 as well but seems that its too dumbed down for me. Now im in between coredroid and leedroid...

I have never even tried CM7 - Something just doesnt interest me about it. So Ican;t sway you. But really man, just make a back up of what you have now. Don't like the new one recover. If you like the new one, make a back up of it and try another. Its saves time and you can try em all. I'm a Rom Junkie tho so...Lol

CM7 is very nice I had it for a while and its nice. The problem with CM7 nightly is you will flash alot because they have alot of updates Im currently using MIUI and Im absolutely LOVING IT!!!!! I was using LeeDroid before and it was also AMAZING. I just love how MIUI have alot of themes to go with it and the UI.

More updates meaning it has glitches that need to be resolved?...so what makes sense to me is leedroid is more reliable...

Yes or just updates making it better. Yes to me LeeDroid was my favorite Sense ROM. Like that guy said you can just try every ROM and see which one fits you best.

yea try more than one rom. add some rcmix kingdom in there. sense 3.0 is slick. but its pretty alpha (stable enough im still using v 0.1 daily)
dont matter just use some sense and backup before making changes. if your txts are that important, dont forget to back them up too.

I've got to second this - I haven't used MIUI yet, but LeeDroid is the best rom I've used yet. I've tried CM7 and Android Revolution.

I have been liking this rom a lot:

slowing down - stay rooted???

ok... looks like the interest in the TB is waning. new phone options are coming available. posts and threads are slowing in this forum and others. development is slowing (Th3ory hasnt put out a new rom in like 1 1/2 weeks now ).
is it time to find one ROM for a daily and settle in? at some point will it make sense to convert the TB back to stock and run with verizon and its updates?
i probably will keep my TB for another year. any thoughts?
thanks

Yes interest in the TB is slowing and therefore so is development.
Yes newer phones are coming out
Switching to verizon and their updates is a turd choice though unless they come out with something utterly amazing and 0 DEV's here adopt it. Will never happen though unless the entire community is dead.

We are getting a great dev coming from the og dinc forum. I say stick around for a few more weeks.

Sorry man, but I read that OP and thought "What is this guy thinking?!?!?" Go back to stock and take whatever Verizon dishes out? I don't grasp the mental process that would conclude that as an option. I don't think interest is waning. I'll check that dipstick after Verizon sells it for free, or close to it, which is usually when sales get real good. Th3ory isn't exactly a benchmark of ROM development either. In fact, cranking out ROMs at a rate of any more than once every month is kinda unusual. BAMF went nearly 2 months without so much as a revision. Chingy usually goes at least a month. I don't understand what the deal is with Synergy and their goofy nightlies... how much can you tweak something before it's junk? I point to Ziggy's kernels as having exceeded that limit.
I came from the dInc. When I left that device as a primary device I stopped paying much attention to the ROMs for it. Now when I go and look around over there, there's heaps of devs I never heard of (a few with egos WAY too big for their sig), cranking out ROMs of all sorts. I know they hate to admit it over there, but the dInc is DEAD. If you want to see a device that seems dry on interest, visit the dInc2 forums, or some of the Motorola device forums. Or a LOT of forums, really. I don't know where you think devs are going since there isn't actually a better device worth upgrading to on Verizon. And don't say the Bionic; that thing was obsolete almost the day it launched, and the launch of the Inc HD WILL kill it. If you don't think a lot of the dev from that device will trickle down here, may I point you to all the stuff from the EVO 3D that's already made it's way here.

@ loonatik78...
yeah i guess after re-reading my OP it's kind of hard to take seriously. the TB is my first smart phone. never even knew there were forums like this that supported the phone, nor had i even a clue that these things could be rooted and modifed in such a way. certainly glad i googled my way XDA.
support has been wonderful here, and frankly find your posts well worth reading. thanks.

as for going back to stock - well not a chance.

Even if it's the end of the line for sense updates (as far as from verizon), there will be updates to AOSP ROMs like CM7 and OMFGB long after as many phones have.

Switch to a new ROM? For example, Synergy has many updates a week currently and shows no sign of a stopping point in the future. Not to mention the ROM is completly badass and runs smooth like buttah

When was the Tbolt released, Jan or Feb of this year ? Interest will wane around Spring '13... A lot more people keep their phones for the two years or so that VZW "rewards" than you think. It's been what, six months ? The HTC Eris forum is still going strong, just as an example!

If only aosp roms had working nfl app and gps for me. Even with fixes, most apps that use gps either put me across the world, or just error out.
Guess if dev stalls, I might just have to learn to build roms myself.

First off GPS works fine, second yea, the NFL app is still wonky but I strongly believe there are better alternatives on the market.
Second I would say go to OMFGB, since our phone is in their tree, any updates they make go to our phone, so even when we are forgot about we will still recieve updates as long as their team is around.
Also, synergy is not a bad choice (Especially if you like daily updates), BAMF forever would be a good choice as well. It was just released and runs super smooth. Plus updates are coming every 2 or 3 days at most.
Also, (And hopefully, final) we should be getting a Sense 3.5 port soon, (Team BAMF is currently spearheading that operation).
So sorry to tell you but development is still going strong.

sorry, but I'm not the only one having problems with gps on aosp ROMs. It's not just getting a working signal before flashing. Even after doing that and maps finding me ok, most apps that need gps to find you, such as search, gasbuddy, etc, end up placing me at least 2 miles away unless wifi is on.
It's ok, really don't mind sense ROMs. I freeze, uninstall a lot of sense parts and use different launchers. Playing with shell 3d right now.

Building has proved challenging but as far as taking a leak and debloat deoxed and add root busy box WiFi tether that is very easy. Even adding a custom kernel is very easy. Tweaking extra settings is where I am lost right now such as RAMdisk edits and other such tweaks need info.

Newest Galnet MiUi port for G2x released

It adds some more ICS functionality (like a 4 way lock screen with dedicated Camera slider), ICS camera app, and some other fixes. I am running it on my current G2x. It seems far more stable than the previous release.
You can check it out here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13939-rom-miui-port-miuius-galnet-miuiandroid-updated-02052012/

the link shows 02/02/12 I flashed that and saw absolutely no differences in that build to the ones from dec 2011... I played with it for a whole day and it was not good at all, lag (stock kernel) all day horrible battery, and wifi was funky 9just seemed slower then it should have been. All on a fresh install after full wipe using scrubber and wiping system & data twice... Just my opinion though.

Very strange, are you sure you flashed the right one? I flashed mine and I have the ICS camera and ICS lockscreen now. Wifi and 3g/4g seem to be far more responsive than before as well and I don't have any lag issues either.

that lock-screen is just a theme, and that camera is the same MIUI camera that has always been there.

The lockscreen isn't a theme, it is what comes with the newest MiUi, and the camera is different too.
It as at least different from the previous release of Galnet and I am definitely running smoother than before. I have had no crashes, no battery pulls, and much more responsive. The previous release was crashing in market:games, this one has no such issues. Of course this is how I installed it:
Load into recovery, wipe user data then mounts and storage format/system, then installed Galnet stable 2.2.1 then MiUi 2.2.3 over top. I suppose I could have installed just MiUi 2.2.3 but I read something about it needing previous versions to install on top of first for stability. Either way, I am just a messenger, the ROM works wonders for me.

yes the lockscreen is a theme...
it is called default_theme.mtz
like the stock layout on miui is also a theme you can just include another ¨default theme" and it will show when you install the rom
and about the camera it is just the stock MIUI camera.apk

The camera is just themed, nothing is new, it's all a theme. It's called "MIUI" for a reason-- it is extremely customizable.

Yup all just a theme...
Hell, you can make the lockscreen look exactly like sense, doesn't mean it is... and that camera is the regular MIUI camera.

Yep, exactly what they ^ said

Did you not see all the comments from the rest of the community that told him he his wrong? I think he got Owned.

true...mmmm guys by the way anyone can give me a few links for how to become a developer? i wana learn i ussually learn fast.. i got windows 7 64bit ic an develop with this? i wana become pro developer like you guys we cannot let our G2x Die

there is no getting owned there are a bunch of people calling miui a theme which is strange because it is a flashable ROM that can be themed which has nothing to really do with the point of what was said. In other words a bunch of pricks who would rather nitpick than actually provide any form of useful information. All I was doing was making people aware of the port being available. Currently when you flash the ROM it gives you the ICS 4 way unlock screen. As the default lockscreen for the ROM that makes it no longer a theme but default. Can you apply a theme over it and change it? Surely you can. Was that the point of the message in the first place, no? So here is an idea, you want people to help develop on the G2x and I assume you want people to actually support XDA, so don't be a bunch of pricks. Don't say pwned or owned or whatever you think is going to make you elite in your mind. Be polite, you know you can do that with out being a total **** about it. This is also the reason why developers stop responding and why less people start posting and why eventually the community and the development for the phone goes down hill. So be proud, be proud that you are leading the charge into prickdom. I am sure it will make XDA that much better.

just cause it has a theme defaulted doesn't make it an "ICS functional" rom, it makes it any other MIUI rom with a theme on it. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm just saying that there are way too many posts about MIUI having ICS in it, when it clearly doesn't have even some of the minor things in it. The camera especially why in the world would MIUI have an ICS camera for the g2x already lol? Again, I understand you were just trying to let people know of a port but when it has a lot of "false" information that only leads to people freaking out, and having little bits of false hope for an ICS rom when it doesn't even have the simple animations/transitions of ICS. Maybe it is just me, but I'll be that "prick" to tell you that it isn't an ICS rom. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Except it actually does have ICS functionality in the Galnet release. It would actually be super sweet if you got off your high horse, stopped with the you are posting false information crappie and actually read the release notes for the ROM next time. Yes, it has ICS functions, no I never claimed it was running ICS as full blown ROM. I am sorry you think you are providing some deep insight into what I was posting. You aren't. You are simply trying to get the last word and making your self look like an even bigger prick at the same time. Also as far as hurting my feelings, what are you ****ing 12 years old? I don't care what you have to say except that you are wrong thinking that ICS functions means ICS ROM. So, if you don't like what I have to say report it or move the **** on.

Only place in that changelog that says anything about ICS or 4.0 is the rom version he posts in the changelog (which is from 11.26) it says 2.3.7 framework all over the place. Please copy and paste where it says ICS anything... and why you so mad?

I am done with you, you are like a 12 year old who is only interested in fighting. Again, I never said it had anything more than some functionality so get off it.

lol funny you say that with no comeback because he is right, galnet rom merely just have ics looks and feel but the backend is just gb, it shared very small ics functionality. you have been pwned once more

why no custom froyo roms?

just curious.. hope this doesnt come across the wrong way. i realize everyone wants the latest and greatest, but why havent any dev's made a custom badass froyo based rom?
everything works, we have all the sources and bootloaders, etc.. and it can be made to look just like GB or ICS anyways with theming. it just seems like our devs would have a lot less difficult of a time getting things to work properly. i know there were a lot of difficulties faced when trying to get GB to work.. and still some features are missing
i do realize there are a few (3) modified stock froyo roms available. but nothing custom built straight from aosp. just an idea.. would anyone else be interested?

If a developer feels like running it, then it could happen but probably not. Now, somehow porting cm1 or whatever the first verson of it would be so cool, imagine telling people "ive got a pretty new phone running the software that started it all". Probably way more difficult then making ics for the infuse lol. Just based out of sheer curiosity.

i do realize there are a few (3) modified stock froyo roms available. but nothing custom built straight from aosp. just an idea.. would anyone else be interested?

It's not a bad idea, brad.
I've ran the uckh1 for a while. I used tibu to delete on extra un-needed like updater, music, social etc..it was pretty good and very responsive running stock and odexed.
There are a few things like battery management, memory manager, gtalk video that froyo does not support.
the infused 1.5 and cousins were pinnacles of their time...oc will also make it very snappy.
however, some app from market may not have all functions or display, so there is some drawbacks.
You can learn to theme...make it badass... and share?

Ya I'm by no means a developer. I can flash lol but coding is something I know NOTHING about. Not even a little bit

As a developer forum we are all about messing and trying new things. Once something new is released it is normally taken on by most of the developers. As this is not a site that focuses on Roms but on developing new and interesting stuff. You can see where it leads.
