No More 2.0.1 roms ...... Whats going on

[JimMariner]

Still on 2.0.1 here, but not for Long..

Come to BlackDroid's "Ultimate Droid v7" Side My Friend !! I Like It !!!!

I have tried every one of the new 2.1 ROMs....most are much much better.

The trick is to make sure you load a ROM that is ESE53 based. The only ones I have had problems with are 2.1 N1 features ported to the 2.0.1 OS (likely the ones you had problems with in the past)...and Koush's ERE25 based ROM. I was excited to try that one, since so many people talk it up....but I had freezes/lockups, crashes/f/c's and even a auto reboot all within 10 mins of load his ROM. I have to believe it has something to do with it being a ERE25 (experimental) base and not ESE53(delayed OTA).

BB, SS and BlackDroid all have vast improvements with f/cs and freezing..and most fly and do not over heat with the proper kernel.

I am excited for AdamZs Smoked Glass 6 (ESE53 base)...I have been running his beta test 9 for a couple days and have not had a single force close from any program .. native or 3rd party (even ones I pushed to the system)!

I'm still running a 2.0.1 rom. I had such a bad experience with the 2.1 ROMs that I can't bring myself to try them again. I'd rather run a 2.0.1 than have to deal with all the random reboots and FCs

The Key is Nandroid IMO, once I got away from doing update.zip installs, I've been golden ever since.

^^ You can't go from 2.0.1 to an ESE25/ERE53 build without doing a nandroid... it's not possible. Probably why some people have problems, they don't read the instructions and try to update.zip to a completely new build... when it just won't work.

ERE53 = the futute. Switch or be left behind.

Srsly though, more battery life, everything smoother, better browser with native (ie: not Nexus Hacked) Multitouch Support. Absolutely no reason not to switch. Back everything up with Titanium Backup, and just nandroid it and restore what you want back after. I can do this in under 10 minutes now: complete wipe to nandroid restore and having my homescreens back setup.

If you are moving to a 2.1 rom, I HIGHLY suggest Petes BB 2.1 Rom
It is by far the most popular, has the highest user base, and seems to be the fastest / most stable
I see on reason to use any other rom. Enjoy

I am not sure about Pete's BB being the most popular or stable but Blackdroid 7.5 is also extremely stable. My advice is to toake a look a at this and read some. Make an educated choice and decision. We will be here to support whatever you decide

Still on a 2.01 rom with SG 5.0. It runs and has the 2.1 apps. If something works I tend to stick with it. I rooted so my phone would run smoother and have wi-fi and customize the look with things like the pulldown editor, themes, and live wallpaper.

Will a 2.1 rom give me more functionality or just smoother access to what I have already?

Most likely I'll be loading up Adamz new rom. 4.1 worked without a problem and 5.0 treated me the same. I like the look with the blue and smoked glass so if the other roms just offer a different look that's not enough for me to swap roms. One of these weekends I'll probably sit down and load up a bunch of different ones just to see what is different.

koush does not have an ERE25 based ROM. Its ported Cyanogenmod, with ESE53 drivers. He looks to have also used the build.prop from ERE25, which is where you probably misunderstood.
