All gingerbread roms are highly alpha| beta, my advise is to stay away from them, and wait for the official release (couple of days/weeks)

I would agree...I am sure the current Gingerbread based ROMs are great, but they are based on leaked versions of beta ROMs. Unless you really know what you are doing or love the risks of the bleeding edge, I would stay away from them.
All signs are pointing to official Gingerbread firmware for the i9000 hitting Europe in the next two weeks. Once that is freely available, I figure the devs here will have fresh ROMS based on Samsung tested, properly released code out within hours/days...not so long to wait.

I just flashed this rom few days back and it's working like......knife goes on butter...
benefits:
1. It's 2.3.3
2. very smooth UI
3. longer battery life & lots more
Gingerbread launcher is not there but I installed one from market (check the one from Eugene373)....all together it's cool & I did not face any issues yet!!!

Flashed my few days old Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.3 rom. So far, everything work without any problem.

Since there is now stable releases of gingerbread, are there any custom roms for it? i cant find any :/
Are there any kernels for gingerbread also?

You can try ColdMod Rom... its beautiful with TW 4.0 which works nicely with good battery life... i have no complains abt it and im using 2.1 improvent of ColdMod

dont know yet
I switched from Darky RC 5.3 to Juwes 4.2 cause Darky is little bit unstable for now. Juwe seems pretty fast and compatible.

I was using darky rom so far but now i want to try something new (darky is still on 2.3.3 which has the battery bug so i use 9.5).
So what 2.3.4 rom do you recommend? It doesnt have to be "blazing fast" , good battery life will suffice
Thank you.

How about Stock Gingerbread Roms?
Is there any rom stable and without bugs?

I use stock JVQ downloaded from samfirmwares with SpeedMod t23 and the auto brightness fix. All partitions converted to ext4 (/system too).
It is really responsive, no lags at all and I didnt find any bug (except the auto brightness but like I said there is a fix).
I also use tegrak to overclock it to 1.2 Ghz but thats optional, it is already really fast !!

confuse every rom has characteristic

Which Gingerbread for my Nexus - Please?

Hi,
i am new to Nexus One Android Development and i am a bit confused.
There are so many Gingerbread ROMs out there and i cannot decide.
I firstly wanted to install MoDaCos Sense Build but that is buggy for me - so now i want Gingerbread on my N1.
Unfortunately there are CM7 based/stock ones/google AOSP's/GRI40s/2.3.2's/2.2.3's/pure google mods/OFIICIALS/Devs onlys etc. - Versions!
Can anyone be so kind to filtrate that a bit?
This shouldn't be a "Best GB-BUILD"-Thread - I just want a clean and stable Gingerbread running with my purchased launcherpro plus!
I don't want it bleading edge, but fast and stable!
Which one of the thousands out there should i run on my N1?

Hi bunnahabhain,
I have tried various gingerbread roms, most have had some annoying bugs like hspda freezing, random FCs. The one that works the best for me is the CM7 RC2 which is the equivalent of Gingerbread 2.3.3. It is yet to bug out on me and it runs very smooth. In fact i havent had to restart the phone since I installed the rom. Surprisingly it also takes less space on the phone then most roms I've tried.
Hope this helps. It is bleeding edge but it is very smooth and hasn't been buggy at all for me.

I am using the stock gignerbread, with launcher pro plus/setcpu and automatic task killer.
It runs very well, no crashes, no bugs, it's fast, I sugest you do the same.

Add a poll to thread and list available options for people to vote?

DONE - 8 by number
just chose the most favorite ones

Stock/Official/Vanilla are the same. Just what the names suggest really.
Cyanogenmod is by far the most widely used custom ROM. Many of the others are based off this, with various alterations being made to them. Close to Stock appearance but feature filled and very fast. Version 7 is in development now and two of the polled ROMS are in fact from this development.
There have been two Release Candidates which are considered 'stable', and there are ongoing 'Nightly' builds, (experimental), but which are really just a daily evolution of the development. As it stands the latest Nightly builds are very stable, very fast and well worth trying.

Trackball wake?

No trackball wake on any Gingerbread ROMs derived from stock. No modification has been found to enable it.
On the other hand, they don't suffer from wonks like CM7 and any CM7-based ROM.

I was loving stock gingerbread but switched over to cm7 after missing trackball wake

MIUI gets Gingerbread on Friday, that will be my choice.

I am on pure googlemod now!
But don't think just that i chose a ROM that nobody voted for would leave this POLL ad absurdum
It seems that the base of that ROM is CM7-NIGHTLY, which is the thing to go for if you want more speed in the ROM with a custom kernel (otherwise no camera).
Because i wanted the stock GB style i firstly chose GEOs stock deodexed one, but switched after i got the mentioned camera probs.
Now, with redstars custom kernel it is the fastest ROM i have ever used on my N1 (42 Mflops in Linpack)
Unfortunately it is still miles away from this insane ROM for the HD2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
You can't imagine how fast and stable that ROM is, really!
Since it is open source the N1 DEVs could look into the code couldn't they?

sense or nothing
I am on the Geo build but I am waiting for a Sense UI gingerbread release. I am following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995445 but hoping Evil D can bring his magic to a GingerSense build

I've been using CM7 RC 2 after having been using enom's roms for froyo. It is pretty damn stable and lets you use trackball wake which lots of gingerbread roms don't support.

Roms: Continuous comparison of milestone roms and updates

Dear all,
In an attempt to organise the discussion, I have noticed that there are several threads aiming at discussing the best ROMS for the Milestone.
Some of us are using Shadowmod, Froyomod, CM7, CM6, Motofrenzy, GOT while some use Stock.
REQUEST 1: Each user, after updating to a new ROM/Nightly should state their ROM here, its version, and describe her/his own experience with the ROM.
REQUEST 2: If you have used more than one ROM, can you post comparisons of your experience with your ROM?
This should help in better understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each ROM and each nightly and even help developers of each ROM work together and exchange tips.
Thanks!
Also: CHECK THIS THREAD for links to ALL ROMS under development

My first post:
I am running Cm6 pre final. I removed facebook and Twitter and some other apps from system, installed them from market and moved them to SD. Not many mods, except heap size is 32, and no app2ext.
Very stable, very occasional reboots. Battery life is as expected, within standard cm6 range. Battery lasts 12 hours average, assuming you USE the phone and keep the display open significantly. Slightly laggy from time to time, but otherwise there is nothing to report except problems with languages that have a right-to-left orientation.
I love the mods. Just downloaded froyomod and considering a test drive for a day.

UPDATE > TESTING FROYOMOD 2.6.1.b
I just installed it, and am using it with basic settings. I only changed libwebcore.so with one that supports basic arabic reading in mail and web.
My general impression is that it is much faster and snappier, less laggy and generally lighter than CM6 Pre Final. Will keep testing it of course, but it generally seems to be a better ROM actually.

COME ON! )) WRITE your own REVIEWS of the ROMS YOU USE!

Best froyo atm is FroyoMOD 2.6.1 once the gps issue is sorted.
Best GB rom is Cronos 1.2.
But i am a stock rom person. I am at present using xt702 with arabic kernel,themed and a few mods by myself.

I have heard people talking about Cronos, but it doesn't seem to be as well-known as CM7. Is it faster or more stable?
I have used both FroyoMod 2.6.0 and CM7 RC4.1(current).
I find that CM7 is VERY polished. I had one reboot and it's been close to two weeks I've had CM7 on my phone.
With FroyoMod, I found that it was not as polished as CM7 and had some bugs, but it definitely seemed better optimized for the Milestone seeing as it's running Froyo.

Hey Saeen! here is not the place for this, but here you go Get libwebcore.so from the official 2.2 Arabic release or that file which has been online somewhere. Navigate to system/lib using root explorer, activate the permissions, paste it there to replace the current one (make a copy of the one there, just in case)., and reboot. You can read it Arabic, but it does not fix Right-to-left issues.

Well, i'am new here and i have an Motorola Milestone. I'am from Brazil so my english is kinda bad, but whatever. I'am running stock 2.2.1 from brasil, and my Milestone runs very smoothy! No FC or reboots for 1 week! Iam running it at 1ghz @62vsel. The brasilian official froyo mix motoblur elements with the original android, so the lockscreen for exemple is the same as the motoblur one, and the keyboard is the same as motoblur, the white keyboard. I'am making a video, when i upload i post it here

Miui 1.2.25
So I have found that MIUI 1.2.25 ROM from lalit79 to work the best for me.
The one thing that brings me back to it every time is its battery/power management plus it's fairly stable performance. Usability is the most important thing and I find its interface easy and speedy. Plus it comes with some great apps.
I have tried using the Gingerbread versions of it and they seem to be improving with each update however it is still lacking in the performance and stability of 1.2.25.
Other mods I have used are ShadowMod, Doshaka's CM6, Cronos and ofcourse the stock motorola.
All of which worked fine. However one problem i found across these roms was memory management. If I was using an intense application like angry birds and then revert back to the Home Screen I would find that all my icons would take a bit of time to load up. Only ROM where this has not happened is MIUI.
Hope my experiences help!
edit: I should also add that I use the old boot.img file in 1.2.25 as I experience random reboots if I do not. This applies to all mods mentioned above.

hey jumbz55, I had the same memory management issue as well with non stock ROM. So far I'm happy after reverting back to Eclair from Froyo, but this MIUI ROM that you mentioned interests me..
What MIUI ROM would you recommend? I'm sure there are many flavours out there. I need one with good memory management and of course care about the battery.

Memory Management got fixed real good

EXCELLENT WORK AS ALWAYS, Zeppelinrox

Roms I have once used:
5 in total
1. Froyomod 2.6.1/2.6/2.5
stability:
smoothness:
comment:
very nice with great memory management,
launcher seldom gets killed,
App2sd works well, the apps can be loaded quickly
Disadvantages:
GPS doesn't work
some demanding 3D games like NFS don't work (immediately get killed)
2.Shadowmod b3, b6
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
The best rom, thanks Edgard
app2sd works perfectly (after rebooting, the apps get loaded within 30s)
After playing 3d games like NFS, apps in apps drawer still need not be loaded again.
No laggy feeling (no kidding~!!!), launcher seldom gets killed but it can be loaded in no time.
3. Cronos gb 1.2
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
If u use app2sd, don't try this rom....
coz the apps reload frequently,
launcher always get killed after surfing internet, not to mention playing any games.
Overall, don't judge a rom's ability by just looking at its popularity in xda....
The most common;y used rom may not be the best one

Most Stable rom?

Hello, I own a motorola milestone from telus, and have tried Cyanogen mod 7 and Miui. They werent bad but of course had errors which is expected. What is the best "Stable" rom out there for the milestone. Preferably froyo and higher! any suggestions for roms would be greatly appreciated

I would say that eybee's MIUI is quite good, it implemented kabaldan's DSI fix and other stuff. For Froyo, I recommend, FroyoMOD, an update is coming next week. For GB, I find Cronos and MIUI are quite stable.

Some changes on Cyanogen's Mod7 for Milestone on its RC10 version have made this rom one of the most stables among custom roms, besides, i really think that CM7 is more stable than stock firmwares

I went from stock 2.1 to iceandfire CM6/CM7. My experiences are very positive: performance and batterylife are much better than on stock and most of the kinks of the early cm7 builds have been worked out.
In fact its running so well, that i dont see the need to upgrade eventhough the hardware is aging quickly

I have just switched back to cyanogen mod 7 rc 10 the latest one, and so far, ive tested everything and its all snappier. I have v6 supercharger on as well which helps it as well. i am very pleased with this latest version.

Cyanogen 7.1.0 RC10 is very stable. So if you want Gingerbread qive it a try.
Otherwise, the most stable ROM out there I still believe its the official 2.1-update1 one.

cronosginger 1.4.0 most stable for me

When I ran CM7 on my Verizon Droid 1 I had a lot of problems with randomly not receiving text messages... I ended up switching it back to CM6.
Does this still happen on cm7? (yes I did check the button to lock the messaging app in memory...)

I had some problems w/CM7, screen went crazy, switched to Steel Droid and it's working great w/GB.

thanks for the input will give it some consideration, but for the meantime i have yet to have a FC or anything slowing down the phone on cyanogen mod 7 rc 10.

I went back to cronos 1.4 and it is very stable.

CM7 RC10 is one of the best i've tried fast, smooth ... that's all i need ^^ ... i like Miui too, but it still has many crashes with contacts with no aparent reasons ..

what crashes with contacts ? .. do u have the latest version eybee's version ?

I think stability wise they are all good. The latest custom firmwares don't have random reboots or battery drain. But in terms of the most usable I would suggest telus lite 5.2
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

For me CM7 is very slow and crashes all the time. But I think I've got some software issues.

In my opinion FroyoMOD 2.8.0b is most stable rom For me, no reboots, freezing etc.

Yep, currently using CM7 RC10 and I think it's working really well.. snappy and stable

I´ve tested for my german Milestone CM6, CM7 RC9 and RC10, MIUI 1.7.1 and at last Ho!No!
The same problems with all this ROMs: Reboots every day, no notification on incoming SMS (except MIUI), no games runs (angry birds, stupid zombies, etc. - except CM6), reboots after one shot with the camera app. With MIUI, I have no free space on internal (although I`ve moved all apps to sd) and no RAM.
And I`ve tested everything with CPUsettings, overclocking, VM Heap settings, build.prop optimization, vsel settings, etc.
I`ve deleted all my favorite apps to get more space and performance. No widgets on screen..
So, I don`t know, which ROM I should test the next :-(
The fact is: Gingerbread ROMs are to heavy for my milestone. So I go back to CM6. I want my games back!!

I'd suggest giving FroyoMOD a try. There are a couple bugs in the latest 2.9 version, but I'm sure luca will get them ironed out, and the versions that I've used have been very stable and very responsive.
I like CM7 as well, but have always found myself cursing the lag and memory shortages that I get after a few days' use. But I'll probably give RC11 a try anyway.
Those of you using Cronos, is Maps working alright?

yeah, FroyoMod is a good Idea.
I love MIUI and CM7 too. The stock sms- and phone-app in MIUI are much better than all others. But for my weak Milestone they are too big.

Which rom is fastest and has best battery life, features not important

Hey guys just picked up a g1 for temporary use. I would just like to know which rom has the quickest response time when opening an app(browser, mail, dialer, maps mainly) and has the best battery life. I'm not interested in features, just need it ONLY to read emails and make phone calls and occasional surfing and gps. Should I just stick with stock rom then? Thanks

ADP1 stock rom... not tmobile.

cyanogenmod 5.0 I use is fast .
the android system is 2.1 .

May be you need Froyo by Laszlo? )))

i think frosense v0.9 is much stable and fast

If you want a CM6 ROM FroyobyLalzo, don't use the Kernel that comes with it. Once you flash the ROM flash the latest Ezterry Kernel for Froyo
AOSP Either FroyoMelt, or DreamTeam
CM7 - DietGingerbread
2.1 Biffmod I think :3
Personally I use FBL a lot. The Kernel in it is a hacked on so it has random reboot, so use the latest Ezterry. Then Set the cpu to 480 Max, 128 lowest. Screen off 352 max, 128 lowest. Then set that to interactive.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

i've been using Laszlos' ROM but recently tried DreamTeams. i found out that is features froyo 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.1.
not sure whether or not this causes my problem but since "upgrading" i cant seem to find lot of apps at Market, maybe because of not verified fingerprint or such.
investigating are due. would be happy to use DT ROM because its basod on ASOP not CM and such.
