Been on the fence for a while, waiting for a Froyo-based image that supports nagging notifications in succession. Is there a ROM like that ?
I am talking about combining whatever outstanding notifications and presenting them in succession, looping over and over again ?
Or, like with the trackball wake up, we must wait for Froyo sources to be released before this mod becomes available.
I got used to the successive notifications mod so much so that I can not imagine switching to Froyo till it is available
Trackball wake up is also very useful - especially when the phone is in the car dock I have

I just tried froyo and it was awesome! But i missed my trackball wakeup too much.
Did anyone else try froyo but revert back to CM until he releases a froyo version and how come?
Just curious and wanted some discussion
I did cause this is just a test release of froyo and is still a little buggy. I'm waiting for the cm version. To flash

Same. Messed with it a few hours and went back to CM5.
I am getting triple the battery life with froyo... sticking with it until CM6.
For trackball wake download no lock.
I for one came from cyanogen and his roms awesome for a 2.1 rom. But its not 2.2. I love flash and can't get that from 2.1. Trackball wake was hive but can use no lock till cyanogen releases a froyo rom. The speed is alot faster imo on froyo 2.2 vs 2.1. Apps open faster and placing widgets on screen opens faster. The capacitive buttons are way more sensitive and the speakers seam louder. APPS TO SD stock is great on so is having memory although on custom ya get those. Just my opinion froyo brings a all alround better experience for me. Only thing I miss from cyanogen is the stock trackball wake ( no lock for now) and full 360 rotation in the browser. Other than that I'm golden. And the reception seems better with this radio ( although you can keep that and go back to 2.1)..
Everything is not for everyone
And I lime the pinch in gallery thing.

Mine lasts longer with more use with Froyo. Will flash CM6 the second it is released !
Got Froyo as soon as the rooted version was out...Just dropped down to CM5.0.7.1 tonight.
- I seriously miss the trackball wake too
- A few games (Asphalt and Super KO Boxing 2) and apps (TuneWiki and MountUSB) are either flaky/unstable or flatout don't run
- Since having Froyo, I've had to reboot the phone at least 4 times due to touchscreen calibration going completely out of whack.
- Overall it's definitely fast, but there were definitely hiccups/lags here and there that weren't big deals on their own, but the accumulation of them got annoying.
I've tried JIT out before on eclair and Froyo (while definitely much more stable) feels like it's still got some of the JIT quirkiness.
I'll likely give it another go as soon the rooted official froyo is out...But I'm definitely chomping at the bit for CM6 action!
got a question come to my mine, those having Froyo issue did them wipe all before install?
I find the Froyo is damn stable and no such mentioning issue.
Asphalt run perfectly.
Running perfectly smooth.
Trackball Wake? - just use lockbot pro and you have trackball wake and lockscreen customization.
Battery life guarantee better than any previous Eclair ROM, this include CM ROM as well.
No touch screen alignment issue.
No radio issue.
* Everything is perfect, the only I miss now is 7 home screen, hope CM can increase to 7 home screen by using the default launcher. I also miss the color changes of status bar clock and notification font. Another wish CM implement this function as in CM 5.0.7.1 in coming CM 6.0
I updated to Froyo and changed back to CM within a couple of days. The reason for it is right now I am travelling in Asia and using wired LAN connections to my laptop. Then using a program called connetifyme that uses the laptops wireless to share the wireless lan connection over an adhoc connection. Froyo would not connect to ad-hoc, but CM does.
Once home next week I'll put Froyo back on again.

Thank you so much. I didn't know such app existed!
the bat life in froyo is garbage

The battery life in froyo is an improvement.
Battery life opinions are useless unless you have at least some data to back it up.
For example, I used to get around 16-18 hours a day before I had to charge. Now, I can usually last almost 20 hours.
i would also miss the black notification bar from cyanogen as well. can froyo be updated with metamorph to use the desire notification bar? that's another thing i want to update to froyo and maybe switch between cm5.0.7 and froyo, but would like desire black bar in froyo as well.
Has anybody tried "Music Control Lite?" This was developed for the Droid and I couldn't get it to work for the Hero. But I've been looking for something like this for MONTHS, something where I could advance the songs by pressing a hardware button (i.e., when I'm on a treadmill from my pocket without having to swipe open the screen). Blackberry's have allowed you to advance or go back by hard-pressing the volume buttons since my old Curve. Does anybody know anything that does this with the Hero?
I know I can get a BT Headset with the buttons but my Hero rooted, non-rooted no matter what ROM I'm on just skips and slows to a crawl in BT mode ever since I got it last October...
Someone told me that Darchdroid rom had this ability, but was just checking to see if an app did this before I loaded a new rom, on Fresh 2.3.3 now..
Im running ZenHeroFX 2.1 Lite ROM with 710 Darchstar kernel... my phone is so annoying with it. At times it is lightning fast and everything works perfectly. And other times, (often but not always) during and after recharging from a low battery (ie. <15%) the touchscreen becomes super laggy.
For instance, while clicking on an icon on my homescreen, it will light up but not start the app. Rather, it will freeze for a sec or two and then as if I held the icon it would try to move it around the screen. Or when dialing a number the numbers would show up literally 20 seconds or so after the keypress.
Today the same thing happened but after a few minutes of this the touchscreen became totally unresponsive. I realized tho, that I could use the menu, home search, back and power keys and the phone responded almost at normal speed. But I was unable to enter any type or anything else involving the touch screen. After several reboots and one long reboot after clearing the cache, it finally is back to normal. This happens to me every few days or so, however, and is very annoying. Any suggestions as to why this is and/or how to stop it?
Change roms buddy. Sounds like your having a ****ty time with that one
Best very is to go with cyanogen. Have yet to have a problem with it not have I found a faster rom. My 2 cents

I fell in love with Konikub's Pure Hero rom but after the discovery of the bug in Toasts BFS #89 kernel that force closed the phone from time to time i had to reconsider. I know they make the updated kernel for roms that had that issue but without BFS the speed of the rom just isn't the same even overclocked. That is until i revisited Froyo after the first shrewd attempts back in the day lol. Let me tell u Darch and team r a dedicated group of talented individuals who know what they r doing when it comes to ROM development. His CyanogenMod 6 though it's still in the final testing stages is way good enough as an everyday ROM for me. It's fast without the complexity of BFS and is customizable to all ends. If u love senseless roms then u will love CM 6.
Like many others(non-rooted) Nexus one, I rely on using Widget Locker to wake my N1 because sleep/wake button on my N1 doesn't work.(stopped working around 6 months back)
Have read a couple of reviews @ market.android.com that Widget locker currently does not support Gingerbread. Now with Gingerbread update hitting anytime, I am a little concerned and need to find a "working" app to wake my N1 after Gingerbread.
Any thoughts?
If you want to switch on and off you screen, use both screen off and lock and no lock.
(Dev of WidgetLocker)
*Insert rant about Cyanogen Nightlys being unsupported by the Cyanogen team but Market commenters complaining to app devs if something doesn't work on such*
I got the Nexus S the day it came out and tested WidgetLocker 1.2.8.1 on it. If something was seriously broken I would've released a small 1.2.8.2 update that day or soon after. Everything worked fine. Since then, the Nexus S/Gingerbread have been one of my primary testing platforms for the coming (big) update. (Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my Nexus One, I've been testing on that too).
I've received a small handful of emails from people suggesting issues due to Gingerbread and/or Nightly-roms-that-aren't-supported-by-their-own-developers but none has actually been at all related to Gingerbread. Most bugs reports I get are related to settings or third-party apps and relatively easy to resolve.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully as you indicated we won't have an issue when Gingerbread is rolled out.

Trackball wake does not seem to work on stock Nexus One Gingerbread. I'm still looking into it, but wanted to let you know.
It is possible that no third-party-application, such as WidgetLocker, will be able to enable trackball wake. It may have to be done at the rom/kernel level in which case unrooted Gingerbread on the Nexus One will not be able to have trackball wake.
The volume keys DO work with Easy Wake Mode to wake the device.

I've never rooted my phone but am about to receive my third nexus one because of power button failure and I don't want to do it again. I watched some Nexus One development video where they were using a machine to depress the trackball thousands of times, to simulate lifetime use and test for failure. I guess they didn't test the power button.
Any suggestions on a ROM similar to stock but that has wake on trackball press? I was looking at cyanogenmod.
It seems like there should be an app for this, but I noticed an enhancement request on Google code, I guess that ability was removed in 2.3.3.
I am currently using anyunlock to wake my phone with the volume button but am not really a fan. I don't want to adjust the volume and it replaces the lock screen.
Thanks a lot.
CM7. Like Stock but...better!

CyanogenMod is one of the best alternative ROMs out there. All the features of stock with a ton more added (along with bugfixes).

agreed with cm7 (if you prefer the normal stock look) I personally don't like all that sense / miui stuff. now that the big bugs are fixed, i don't see why you shouldn't give it a try.
cyanogen 7 really is easily the best option. and with the newest battery increases and optimizations, its a no brainer to use cm7 over stock.
Running Kang-o-rama-1.2 . . . . It's just CM7, kind of.
Loaded it last night and seems to be the best so far. The least amount of lost MMS compared to regular CM7.

There were issues with MMS messages in the nightlies due to a merging conflict when they merged to the 2.3.4. This has been resolved for the last couple of weeks.
I'm not sure if that is what you were talking about.
How much free memory do you have on your phone?
