I have a two part question. I am currently running CM6 with Android 2.2. I am using Android 2.2 on my Milestone xt720 due to the Flash Player.
I have seen there are some CM7 builds out there. My camera is not working too well with cm6. I am looking to upgrade to CM7 but I am also seeing a lot that say to go back to Android 2.1. Will I lose the Flash Player and which CM7 build is most stable?

I'm running CM7.0.2 at the moment, is it worth updating to Stock 2.3.4? Has anyone done this and enjoyed the result?
Not sure what else to say, really.
2.3.4 for CM7 is coming shortly, the latest kang is running on 2.3.4, only functionality that seems broken at the moment is WiFi. But the next nightly will be running 2.3.4
My nexus s is coming next week and I will probably root it in day 1 (and restore my titanium backup from my old Desire). I've seen a lot of ROMs but I'm not sure which one should I use. Any suggestions for a beginner?
Also wondering if I should stick to 2.3.3 (I might use CM7 since I loved them on my old buddy) or update to 2.3.4.
Is the root method different for 2.3.4 btw? I don't know with which version it will come.

Go NSCollab and latest kernel from netarchy. It is CM 7.0.3 which is 2.3.3
It is incredibly stable , and will be updated to 2.3.4 when the merge is complete (currently latest nightlies are part 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
We are very fortunate to have many active devs working on very good ROMs. Browse through the development forums and grab whichever one tickles your fancy. If it doesn't work out, try a new one.
I personally am partial to the infin1ty ROM. 2.3.4, working video chat with gtalk. Stockish with some flavor thrown in. The dev is very engaged with his users and very helpful.

I have a 1.2 branch G-Tab with Andriod 2.2 (Froyo) running Brilliant Corners but I have noticed that a lot of people seem to be running CM7 (CyanogenMod 7?). I was under the impression that CyanogenMod requires Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), doesn't it? How did everyone get Gingerbread on their G-Tabs? Does it update when you load the CM7 ROM or other Ginger edition ROM?

CM7 is Android 2.3. So when you load it onto your Gtab you will actually be running gingerbread instead of froyo. Since you are running 1.2 based brilliant corners (which is a rom i would really recommend) you would have to switch bootloaders to a 1.1 version to be able to load Cyanogen Mod. It really comes down to what rom you like the best. If you are more of a "noob" who wants all the features possible, I would stick to a Froyo based rom, because video acceleration as well as everything else is possible. Basically the further you step away from android 2.2 the more things start breaking.
2.3 --> video acceleration (main)
3.0 --> camera, flash, video (main)
I hope this helps.

Cyanogenmod 7.1 on bootloader 1.2 is also available on Slatedroid an perhaps more. I have tried it. Nice, but as said, Froyo-based ROMs are the only ones that work 100%. On Cyanogenmod 7.0, gyro messed up Army. Iper, on 7.1 no sound at all.

I was totally gonna add that section but for some reason forgot I have personally tried them and they work well. I just said 1.1 because that is what it was initially developed on. Something tells me that sooner than later the Cyanogen Mod team will make the bootloader switch when they really start seeing their work ported to 1.2
So i've been looking at all the XT720 ROMs that are available now, and it's got me wondering which rom is the best? They all seem to be very similar.

It depends on what you are looking for, ill break it down for you.
Everything started with dexters froyo 1.3. Excellent breakthrough for all XT720 users so most of us started out with this ROM. Over time the excellent devs like khal powers, fjfalcon and Mioz7ae, worked on the same dexters froyo to create basically 3 ROMS.
1) Khalpowers Epic Steel V4, heavily optimized, fast stable, swap support and non stock appearance.
2) Fjfalcon, took the stock dexters and created RusMod 1.19 which is dexters with stock appearance and all the optimizations. He recently changed the kernel to the one from CB's Froyo, and also added build prop changes from there. It has multilanuguage support. He also created the SWAP kernel which can be applied to all the said ROMS, but needs a fastboot via USB everytime your phone reboots.
3) Khalpowers, ported MIUI which is a whole new experience. Depends on how much you like MIUI. Like epicsteel its very fast and stable.
4) Cincinnati Bell Froyo, built by CB using the same process as dexter. Much more stable than dexters.
5) WanHU's rom based on the original korean 2.2 is what most people are looking into right now. Stock 2.1 appearance. Very fast, media buttons working, radio working, TV out working, and with haptic feedback. This is the closest well get to an offical MOTO release.
If you want to go with a stock froyo appearance I suggest try either CB, or RUS mod. If you want different appearance try MIUI, or epicsteel. If you want the latest and most promising ROM which is just a treat to use go for WanHU. Personally id tell you flash WanHU, been using it nowadays and I have to say its pretty cool.
So is there any easy way to flash this on stock/EaglesBlood Rom. Currently I'm on Evil's rom which is based on the 2nd Gingerbread leak and it says I have missing protocol. Is there an AOSP bluetooth that I can just flash over stock ROM for it to work?
If someone could post some Quadrant scores for the G2x with CM7 and EB or something close to stock to see which is faster. If its roughly the same I might as well jump on board CM7 because from my understanding it works on CM7. I am going to flash to either the new EB based on OTA Gingerbread or CM7 anyway and am wondering which is better. If there is no big difference and I can't flash a BT stack I might as well go on CM7.
If someone has some scores for EB ROM based off CM7 that would be great too.
