I hate TouchWiz. I hate it with a passion. All I want in a ROM is stock Android, stability, and nice upgrades, like the camera that works below 15%.
Any ideas?
Perception and Cognition are both very similar, just Cog is based on Rogers Captivate.
Cog 4 is about to be released by DG.

Except that you sacrifice HSUPA and Bluetooth voice dialing. Not the case with Perception.
I'm in the same boat, trying to decide what to use next to stay current.
Cog is based on 2.2, and not 2.2.1, so it lacks certain things, such as HSUPA+ and voice dialing. Also, Perception is the only ROM I know of with the lock screen chooser and integrated music player/ glass lock. Every other ROM uses the AOSP lock screen, which I hate.
Oh yeah, I forgot Cog 3 didn't have HSUPA. Talk about a difference when I flashed Supernova.

To be honest I'm not even sure I (or we) need to stay current. I'm still using Perception 10.2, because 10.3 and 10.4 didn't do anything but update apps and kernel, which I've already done myself. The ROM as-is is stable, with no major bugs, and everything works as far as I am aware.

well it all depends on what you want. if you want a solid build with great performance then any of adam's roms (supernova, phoenix, firefly (started by adam)) would be a great choice. cognition would also be a good choice. just look around in the dev section and find one you like.
If you are looking for a stock themed fast rom on 2.2.1 try dags newest. Has stock theme option ousting chinese i19088 which is a basic identical twin to the captivate

Frenquent incremental updates (no need to re-start from scratch each time); clean, consistent UI; great stability, performance & battery life, etc.

I had HSUPA with Cognition. However I didn't have BT calling. Other ROMs such as FireFly are built on Rogers Froyo as well and it seems to have both HSUPA and BT calling.
Remember, both HSUPA and BT calling depends on the modem and kernel.

I've only used:
- Eclair 2.1-update1
- DG's leak of 2.2 Froyo
- DG Cognition 4.1
On my 2.2 leak I'd routinely pull 2.5Mbps-3.5Mbps but since flashing to Cog 4.1 I can barely pull 1Mbps, IF THAT.
I've tried a couple of other 850 modems I found in SGS tools but one made it worse and one was about the same.
What can I do to restore the Internet speeds that I'm used to? This is terrible.
Please help! What modem should I try? I'm in the USA/ATT and have a Cappy 1010

If you are trying to use one of the i9000 modems (JK3, JK4, JL3, etc), you need to use an i9000 kernel as well.

You can give an i9000 kernel/modem a try. You don't have to stay with the captivate stuff.
For what its worth, JK4 gives me decent results in my area. You should just keep trying different modems since location makes a difference.

I'd was using the speedmod kernel and JK4 as well on Cog 3.02. If I stay with Cognition 4.1, I'll definitely be going back to them, becuase this rom LAGS big time, all across the board. And just because that's not annoying enough, the pinch-zoom doesn't work in the blasted browser, either. I've loved the Cognition roms, but I'm seriously disappointed in this one.
Maybe AT&T should hire DG. God knows, he built a hell of lot better Rom from the leaked versions of Froyo than all of AT&T and Samsung's people did with official access, and unfortunately, their bad work shines through in Cognition 4.1.1.

I ended up cracking open the zip file for 4.1.1, replacing the browser.apk file with the one in Cog 3.02 - which is quite a bit smaller, by the way - then re-zipping and flashing it to my phone*. I also went ahead and loaded jk4 and Speedmod's latest. Now pinch-zoom works again, the surfing/etc., speed is much less laggy, I was able to also add the Captivate's stock sounds, and (despite the cussing) a good time was had by all.
The battery life seems remarkably good, too, despite some pretty heavy use. And that's even though I haven't yet had the chance to calibrate it or clear stats and caches. I wonder what it'll be like after a few drain-outs and charge-ups?
Guess I'll keep the rom around for a bit and see.

What is the difference between the TB Gingerbread leak and CM7? It is my understanding that the Gingerbread leak is Sense while CM7 is AOSP. Are there any other differences? For those who have flashed both which do you prefer?

Forgive my sounding ass-holish, but that's about as different as it gets.
I'm personally a Sense man, as I love HTC's integration, but CM has it's place as well. I flashed the leak, and other than awful battery life, I'm loving it.
It should be stated though, awful it relative. I flashed BAMF 10 minutes after leaving the store, so I have no idea if it's better or worse than stock.
You seem to imply you bought the phone with gingerbread. That cannot be true.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Of course I have to differ with the other guy.
Technichally they are now both the "same" as both run android 2.3.4. The difference is CM7 is stock android while sense gingerbread is what HTC thinks android should look and feel. So try both and stick with what you like.

While I am happy to see the GB leak come out, keep in mind that neither it nor CM7 are fully developed for the TB yet. There are issues with both, and the performance of the Froyo roms is still superior at this point.
With my D1, when I switched to GB it gave me significant boosts to performance and battery life. I hope to see the same for TB eventually.
For now BAMF with lean kernel is a tremendous combo.

+1 - Going to totally agree here. At least until BAMF comes out with a build off of GB, then I will make the switch. I have messed with both and I don't like to make sacrifices (camera, data in some cases, etc) so I am sticking with the current Froyo roms.

I agree with you regarding the GINGER-leak and CM7 based on 2.3.4. My testing yesterday (of gingerjane 1.2) reveled beside the obvious camera bug much slower LTE speeds (like at least 5x slower). Both of those are serious enough to make me go back to Froyo until bugs are worked out. And I am sure there are other bugs. The TB is my primary phone and I need a fully working one.
Anyone has noticed much slower LTE speeds with 2.3.4, perhaps due to the new radios? The speed was below 2 mbps download, when I get 12-22 mbps at home with the last OTA radios and froyo.
What ROM should I get to increase the phones overall performance and responsiveness? I just want something that is very stable and something that will improve my phone in a good way.
Every single rom is gonna be a million times better than stock eclair...for your first time I would stick with a froyo rom as those are easier to flash. Just pick one
oh man.. where to start. Honestly it varies so much from user to user. Your best bet is to hop on some of the threads and read some of the comments.. first few pages and the last few.. try to get an idea of how well the ROM is working for users and battery life. There are a plethora of 2.2.1 ROMs with excellent battery life. The gingerbread ROMs are coming around to having decent to good battery life. But again, it all varies from user to user.
Good 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROMs
Serendipity, Paragon, Phoenix, Ultimate and theres more of coarse, these were among my top choices.
A lot of the gingerbread ROMs can be found in the first page of development.
But please use the search function. There has been multiple threads started with the same question.. about the same topic.

And the jk4 modem actually gets me much better reception than the stock kb1. but if you like the stock feel cognition is the way to go

If you'd like to use your original TouchWiz side-scrolling app drawer, give Cognition a try instead. Cognition is best-known as the 2.2 ROM that tries to stay as close as possible to the original, with a ton of under-the-hood features and fixes (like lagfix), minus the bloatware.
(I can't stand TouchWiz, but still love Cog's stability, so I use Launcher Pro (with its vertical app drawer) instead)
cognition rom is my favorite rom when it comes to stability. and its smooth as ever now.
I think I will stick to serendipity. Now I am trying to figure out what modems do and if I need one to be able to use a kernel? I was looking at Onix Kernel and it says "Since based on i9000 sources, use an i9000 modem". I am not sure what a modem is first of all.

technically, as long as everything works for you as of right now - you're done. You can sit back and enjoy the rom. If you feel ambitious, you can try a different kernel. I dont know what serendipity uses but I found the Onix kernel to be one of the smoothest froyo kernel, available. Thats, of course, my opinion though.

That's what's packaged in the rom. You don't NEED that modem specifically or need to change ... Unless you're cell signal sucks then check out the modem sticky at the top of the dev section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 You do need an I9000 modem because the kernel in serendipity is based off I9000 sources.
What you NEED to do is stop right now. Enjoy your phone and READ everything you can. Once you feel comfortable with flashing and knowing how to get yourself out of bad situations, flash away. No one can tell you which rom is best for you. You're more than welcome to narrow your choice to a few, then try them out or try them all. The key is knowing how to do it and the things that can happen.

I tried out team bamf first, but then they jumped ship to their own forum. So then droidtheory started releasing roms and jumped to him and haven't looked back.
He has a sense and aosp (cm7) version and also dhacker and xpack have released their own versions based off of droidtheory's work.
xpack's senseless rom is very nice. Has the sense base so gps and nfl network work right out of the gate, but no sense (adw launcher instead) so its fast and smooth.

You can't go wrong with DroidTh3orys ROMS.
Root. Now. That way you can make your choice when/if GB actually comes. You can always go back to stock unrooted. You may not be able to root with the new OTA.
Roms? Like many things they are a personal choice that no one can make for you. Having flashed them all, I can tell you they have improved dramatically since I got my bolt in May. If you choose to root, do yourself a favor and try several. You will find the Rom that suits your taste and needs.

Us leaving XDA doesn't change anything about the quality of our roms. Fact is, many of our innovations end up in other roms anyway (ask ihtfp69 and erishasnobattery).

I've been running dasBamf Roms for a month now and love them. I am currently on UberBamf PR3. every Tbolt is different, so experiment and see what works best for YOU. After you install each ROM, make a back up of it. That way, if you install one, that you don't like, you can revert.
I like a fast, customizable ROM without all the Sense bloat so I use Liquid Thundersense. I've only had this phone for 5 days so I really have no other Thunderbolt ROM to compare it to (I ran Gingeritis for a couple hours and the stock ROM only long enough to download Gingeritis to the device; I just hate Sense lol). As far as it goes though I've owned five Android devices total and have rooted and ran custom ROMs on all of them. Only way to go IMHO.

does it work well with music streaming apps?
I used vevo and youtube no problem, so Pandora and other music streaming must work just as well.
I guess I'm confused as to the point of the original question. Infused hasn't been updated in a month, so you're wanting an alternative? Is that right?
Given that AT&T hasn't released an official Gingerbread ROM (and we're lucky that Rogers did), and the official ROMs are generally the source of custom ROMs, it's really no shock that a) there aren't more custom ROMs for the Infuse and b) Infused hasn't been updated in a month. However, just because it hasn't been updated doesn't mean it's outdated. That's important to note. I mean, short of just slapping a new modem in it and putting a new version number on it, what else is there to do? (Random rhetorical question: If there was a modem added every time a leak came out, and the ROM had a new version number slapped on it, would that be enough to call it "updated" and keep you using it?)
Personally, I use CM7. I use it because I have been using it for ages on my Captivate. It's fast, bloat-free and includes what an OS should include - just the facts, ma'am. If I want anything else, I add it myself. Bluetooth obviously isn't 100% and there are other quirks that pop up from time to time, but it's something I'm willing to deal with and I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. YMMV, of course.
Try MIUI, you'll never look for another new ROM again

Cryogenic mod 7 for me. It's very fast, stable, customizable and works with the wii mote/ps3 controller. Only downside is the normal bluetooth a2dp doesn't work yet. I was on rogers stock gb, but cm7 is better for sure

Holy moly you can do that? Ha well I recomend either dlev or cm7 the compiled version. This is because dlev is just plain cool and fast (good job big fau) and cm7 is just plain fast and awesome for the people with the need for speed. Dlev has a good blue theme, and cm7 is just endless with their themes. Dlev has everything working except hdmi of course, and cm7 does not have bluetooth and hdmi not working. I recomend either of these two roms though, as they are very stable for me, while I would actually get force closes on infused every once in a while. Oh by the way, cm7 has a newly compiled rom almost every day. Dlev is probably better for a newer flasher though. Ha miui may be good, its based off of cm7 but has an iphone like look to it.
use infused + uckj2 modem and gb kernel
If you need bluetooth for streaming audio or making phone calls (at least with a car stereo) then forget about CM7 or MiUi. Neither work for Bluetooth in this regard.
If you don't, and you like customization, then I'd start with those two ROM's first. MiUi and CM7 are totally different, but both top dogs at what they do.
