Hey guys I'm proud to say j just got a Droid charge. I'm loving it. But I'm wondering which froyo rom is the better one, humble, or gummycharged. On this I mean based on the performance, battery life, and ui. Please help me out here guys! Thanks in advance
Sincerely,
The new proud owner of a Droid charge: D
Humble for battery life. Gummy for features. Try both.

Grats on your new Charge! I can guarantee you'll be satisfied :]
To put it short, Humble has better battery life, great animations(like moving from page to page), great speed with no hints of lag(pretty much the same as GC in this department), UI is exactly the same(which is a stock GB look, the only difference is Humble has a better battery indicator from the start), it doesn't randomly reboot like GC did for me(and plenty of other people) and it's updated MUCH more then GC is.
Humble clearly wins this fight, I had GC for a few weeks and I think Humble suits me much more.

I found Humble's animations extremely annoying, FWIW, and since personal preferences win in the end you'd probably be best off trying both and just going with the one you like.
I'd also definitely suggest you try Eclipse, which is what I settled on myself. It's a fantastic ROM all-around (which is what I expected from Nitro after his great work on the Fascinate). And it has a very nice custom theme to boot.
Any battery life advantage humble has is due to imnuts kernel being packaged in...if you flash that kernel with gc you would get virtually identical batt life I'm sure
99% percent of battery life differences are always going to be kernel related...the rest of framework changes or tweaks that claim to do that are generally placebo at best
I have a somewhat related question. Does the black themed Gtalk in GC's rom make a difference in battery life? I really like it but I would like to try Humble's rom.

Im not 100% sure but I doubt it matters all that much. Try it out for yourself and see if you like it. After all thats why we have choices right? Everyone likes something a bit different
I have not used GC, But I see no point as I love Humble. It is fantastic.
also doesnt humble use a significant amount of frameworks/apks from gc?
Yeah when i'm back I'll flash humble and see how it goes. I only ask about the black themed Gtalk because i use Gtalk a lot. But I'll let you guys know

Pretty much it is imnuts' debloated rom with some GC frameworks/apks.
My observation so far after trying both on both froyo and gingerbread
For Froyo = I enjoyed Humble the best
For Gingerbread = I enjoyed Gummy the best
For now I am sticking with Gingerbread. Everything just feels faster.

hey guys just rooted now im looking for a great stock kernel that i can overclock and UC. Any suggestions.
I am stock root and use Adrynalyne's kernals. For me they work great and help with battery alot..

thanks for the quick reply. I thank you!
I'm using battery sipper or w/e its called
hey what kind of setup do you have...should i have it ondemand?
Most people use on demand or smartass. Test them out and see what works for you
I've been trying to use Adrynalyne's kernels because they feel very snappy, but I'm having radio issues with those kernels, so I've switched back to Drod's and it's been rock solid for me. Also seeing the best battery life from Drod's kernel as well.
Here's a vote for imoseyons kernel also used in the TeslaCoil rom. I've had great experience with them and great battery life too.

I'm using this one. Going to use it for a week to truly test it out, but loving it so far.
Nothing to test, the kernels are amazing, hes even testing out audio boosting on them now so the in call volume will go higher.
Hello, I am coming from a fascinate to the droid charge. I have a few themes I will be porting and was wondering what the best rom for me to port to is. Been awhile since I wasnt sure which rom to use. Thanks in advance. GoS

Personal opinion, humble 2.1 (ep1f) and really happy with battery life! Netflix, skype, etc...
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
I previously used Gummycharged 1.8.5(used it from June 28-July 15) and just recently switched to Humble 1.35 and believe me when I say it's a HUGE difference! Humble is absolutely incredible, the battery life is phenomenal and the transitions are much better then the non apparent ones on GC. Another plus for Humble is it receives updates almost daily and updating is very simple if you are already on a previous version of Humble(just install .zip from SD card in CWM).
So, best ROM? Well, I've only tried GC and Humble but seriously, Humble is probably the best lol.
give altered beast a try. i know it isn't really being updated anymore but its incredibly stable so updating isn't really an issue. i used gummy for a few days and it would randomly reboot at least once a day so i dropped it for stock debloated EP1F which is what i am currently on and i LOVE IT.
I've tried every ROM and build of Froyo and GB to date. At the end of the day I keep going back to Eclipse. Has better signal strength, no reboot issues the theme/look is done fully threwout the ROM, and battery life is awesome on it.

Yeah Nitro's EF roms were pretty stable. As far as signal goes, im not sure why you would get different signal strengths. You Radio shouldnt be changing from one rom to another, unless these are odin pkgd roms that include different radios. I can see im gonna have to do alot more research on this device. Oh well, how do you like thr droid Charge in general?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ok, I want speed and stability, I like tw but can live without it, I like the stock notification bar. Ive looked at several roms and cant decide. I am not afraid of gingerbread... Thanks again

Try out the TW4 for froyo. its the eclipse 1.3.1 i just got it awhile ago and its fast and buttery smooth! has great battery life as well. looks sick too
I'm on Humble 1.42 and have 0 problems. It runs circles around the old Fascinate.
Having tried both gummycharged and humble I can confidently say humble wins that fight but if I were you I would highly suggest checking out eclipse, that recent update is really intriguing and I'm going to be checking it out myself very soon nitroglycerin (eclipse) does some great work

MIUI is by far...the smoothest snappiest ROM. Just no bluetooth. if u dont use bluetooth this is the ROM for you. Really the only 2 choices are Infused and MIUI and then there are some other mumbo-jumbo ones that half work......

Honestly, I didn't like MIUI, i thought it looked pretty childish IMO lol You should also consider Dlev Rom. Trying them all out wouldn't hurt either, everyone has their own opinion...
So far, my personel best experience has been with Serendipity VII.
MIUI...S7...CM7 have been my favorites . Running MIUI and have to say it is my number one choice.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
yeahhh ive seen a bunch of people that like miui, im gonna try them all this week to see... thanks
DLEV is my favorite. I had infused until gtg left. And miui does look a lil' kiddie. What I love about fleck is the smoothness. It blazes! And if you apply 99 tweaks and S.A.S. on top of it, it becomes insane. If you like benchmark #'s I consistently get 27500.

Personally, I'm running Infused with Entropy's kernel and a bunch of custom CPU settings. My phone is blazing fast - just no HDMI out as with all GB ROMs so far as it seems.
Everyone's gonna have their own preference. Get familiar with flashing and start playing with different ROMs. The only way you'll find your preference is by trying.
Personally for me, I prefer battery life over performance (such as HD video displays, high mem-usage games, etc) so I like Infused for that. I get roughly 26 hours on a charge with JuiceDefender and moderate usage...
Good luck!

I did a clean install of Weapon. Rebooted and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rebooted again and let it sit. Then I flash New Clip and let it sit for a bit. New Clip flashes over Weapon.Then I flashed my favorite theme. Stayed with the kernel that comes with it. I have never had great luck with alternative kernels and I really have no need for overclocking.
Kwes has an ICS like theme that looks great. Then I added ADW ex and loaded an ICS theme for it. I am very happy with the setup. Been running it this way for several months.
I have been playing around with the V6 Super Charger script but for whatever reason I seem to run out of memory faster when web surfing. I am still learning about everything it does, so I am not 100% sure that it is set up correctly for my needs.

Using latest version of Eaglesblood with faux kernel. It's stable, and battery life is awesome. I'm not into ROM swapping. When find one that works, I stick with it, and it's looking like I'll be with this one for a while. Maybe when an ICS ROM gets refined, I'll give it a go. I would like to have Chrome on the android.
Using CM 7.2 RC1 with faux ds kernel. I get about thirteen hours of medium use, light use lasts a couple of days.
It's a great stock rom without the problems of LG based ones.

AMAZED at the smoothness and utter sexiness of the theme engine and GIGANTIC selection of themes. This will definetly keep my interest for some time! the ui is different and fun too. Only Con so far is the normal CM7 quirk (upside down video chat), nothing too big to keep me from rockin it for a while.

Weapon G2x 3.0 R1
Cm7 7.2 RC1
Actually looks fine. But I notice more stutter than before, perhaps the ICS animation is bogging it some down.
Still a fan of CM7/Cm9.
I can honestly say, I'm sticking to the G2X despite having a Galaxy GS2. I truely enjoy the Cyanogen ROMS and can't wait for it to come CM9 on G2X and GS2
Also that Samsung is too big. Should have waited. Not sure I'll get any device over 4 inch screen. But thats me

Upside down video chat is an easy fix, use root explorer to change bulid.prop manufacturer to Samsung and model to Nexus S. Works for all cm7 / miui roms
