Is gingerbread update worth it or no. I heard it's buggy.
Is Cyanogen mod the only good ROM for froyo 2.2.2 or is there better. I heard 3d camera and games don't work. but other than that it is fast and has good battery life.
also should I only use titanium back for apps?
what should I use to back up texts and phone log?

but my phone is Froyo 2.2.2. I did not get the LG gingerbread update.
and what I am also asking is the gingerbread update worth it or not. I heard it's very buggy.
It's not that it's buggy.
It's that it uses a bunch of battery
Im running gingerbread 2.3.5 v20c and it runs just fine batter life is good if i dont use 3d it last the hole day easy only thig it could be better if it was rootable because theres always crap running in the background.
k I am confused now. You said cyanogen mod rom is gingerbread. I tried it very briefly. It LOOKED like gingerbread, but isn't that just a theme. My phone is Froyo 2.2.2. I flashed cyanogen mod nightly ROM and backed up my stock froyo 2.2.2.
also please link to these other roms. I don't know what sites to trust.
why are these other roms better than cyanogen?
I like Cyanogen roms more customization etc.... but no 3d plus I had major issues with USB Mass Storage, when i connect my phone to the pc it picks up the SD card but I couldn't explore it... with froyo I didn't have that issue so despite issues with the battery life i'll go back to thriller till cyanogen works out better

I have fantastic battery life with CM7 now for some reason... before it would just drain my battery, but it looks like that its worked out in Nightly 37.
Also I had switched from v10e to v10c, which I think is pretty much switching from stock AT&T to stock Rogers, then flashing cm7.
I was out partying all weekend and had been to tired or drunk each night to even consider charging my phone and it lasted me all weekend... Monday morning was my first charge since Friday (and I use my phone A LOT)
Honestly who uses 3D anyways? I've only used it to show it off.. so CM7 wasn't a loss with the 3D for me

They're .kdz files which you use LG Updater Tools to flash the rom (some tricky **** honestly)
I'm not sure why they have them in .kdz instead of .zip files but I'm assuming it somehow must be a better way to flash??
I've tried Thriller, Thrill Seeker, and Doomed and I didn't really like any of them..
Personally I like to stick with anything based off of cm7 or cm7 itself.. it's well built.

I would kinda like an answer to this question as well. I am going to be rooting my friends G1 and he would really like a 2.2 rom with good battery life. I am new to anything G1 so any help would be great. Note: I have experience rooting and installing custom rom's on my EVO. Thanks guys.
So far, BiffMod 2.0.1 has been the best Froyo ROM that I've tried out. It has stability, speed, and customization. There's like 5 themes to choose from, which I thought was cool. It also has all the unnecessary stuff taken out of it. I'd recommend trying it out.
Thanks for the suggestion Skate. I appreciate it. Ill have my friend try it out and see if he likes it.

@Wright. Make sure that you show your friend the ropes about flashing froyo. Running froyo isn't a easy task at all. I've tried all of them and they always end up with some issue. Try Biff for now its the most stable froyo rom to date.

Yeah same here biffmodV2.1 is the ****, the only thing is that i might have to buy an extended battery since i only navigate with wifi, but when it is on idle it probably loses 1 percent in 5 hours.
i reccomend froyo by laszlo, froyo yoshi, biffmod and sparksmod
Please! I know that 2.2.1 is the new rage on the Milestone but not everyone wants to run a beta/buggy release yet that's not that great on battery.
Remember when XP Beta/Vista Beta/7 Beta came out? Some people ran them, but many eager tweakers still dual booted because a beta OS is not meant to be 24/7 stable.
Well same here. I don't mind playing with 2.2.1 from time to time, but I'd like a stable Eclair ROM.
I know there are Eclair ROMs out there, but calling all ROM devs, please don't just ditch 2.1 like that. There are great ROMs already out there, but we'd all appreciate it if you all kept up the great work and added/fixed stuff in those already awesome 2.1 ROMs.
I tend to agree. 2.2.1 is just too buggy and uses too much battery imo.

You did not try Cronos 1.5.0 did you? Anyhow I will bump a question to Feeyo if he could build up an Eclair AOSP rom.
Like 89luca89 said, there already are Eclair ROMs. And they were prety much developed to what they can be, so rly no point to further develop them, except for some theme changes not much can be improved on them.
It is hardly a month since 2.2.1 GOT leak, and the worse hickup(battery drain) seems to be finaly brought to Eclair level or will be in near future in some ROMs.
Maybe the last reason to use Eclair now is if you need cifs.ko module and some others not yet made for 2.2.

There's bugs. Look at the Telus lite thread and people talk about bugs. HoNo's own ROM has the music bug that brings it to the original Telus 2.1 level.
Which 2.2.1 rom has anywhere the batter life of the eclair roms? I'm nearly 16 hours into this charge and after heavy use I still have 40% battery left and I'm overclocked to 800mhz. I've tried a couple 2.2.1 roms and none come close to the performance I'm getting with the eclairmod. When battery life is as good as this, perhaps ill switch butbfor now I have no reason to switch.

I think that CM6 is more stable than CM7 and have a more free ram memory. But CM7 is almost 2.3.3 ... and it's works pretty well.

I am on CM6 currently.... in it had been quite stable..been using the rom for almost a month now and could not find a better rom that cm6 in terms of stability(ignoring the long pause that require you to press sleep button and then unlock back to continue issue).
I had not tried cm7(although tried it once). just wondering can cm7 match the stability that cm6 provide?
the Cm7 and Cm6 have still the same bugs as the official 2.2.1.
-some apps are not working
and also they both are even more unstable.
If you want a stable Phone the only way right now is 2.1 official.
I have tested cm7 and cm6 and returned back to 2.1 since, the phone chrashes to often.

Maybe you're doing something wrong. Widgetlocker crashes too often on your super stable, 2.1 official, certified, and blessed by motorola, phone, after all.
Hi guys,
I've flashed CM6.1 ROM (Froyo 2.2) to my Milestone a few weeks ago - and was enjoying it till one day I accidentaly hard reset and noticed that I have also removed the default launcher from ROM. So I had black screen and nothing appears after the phone was booted.
Well I could just have copied a launcher over from the PC, but I decided to restore my Nandroid backup.
To my surprise, the backup was the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM. So I was frustrated a bit to lose Froyo.
But after using Eclair 2.1 for a week or so, I have never enjoyed using the Milestone as much as this. It's fast and responsive, better than when I had Froyo.
I wanted to ask - is it true that Eclair 2.1 IS faster than Froyo, or did I flashed a slow Froyo ROM? In terms of memory management is great too. I can open more apps and keep them running than I can remember with my Froyo. With Froyo, I've encountered like foreground app close, and changing from one app to another will eventually killed the last app and had to load it back.
Or can someone recommend a very fast and good memory management of Froyo ROM for my milestone? Or it's really - Ok let's cut the crap and go straight to the point - Eclair that's leading in this race (and I've won?). Edit : The Eclair won!
I do miss the Flash 10 on Froyo... sigh, if only I can get it on Eclair still.
Thanks.
-
Update: Well it's not a true-not-true anymore but it is TRUE that Eclair does run much faster than Froyo or Gingerbread. I'm using Telus 5.2 Eclair and I just can't believe the speed that I'm getting (it's like Milestone on steroid!). See my post on 2nd page. And no I'm not with Telus or related or what, but I highly recommend this ROM to Eclair users out there. This is definitely a keeper! I've also covered about the battery life and tempreture on the post on 2nd page. Have a read, and don't hesitate to flash Telus, you will never regret it. Now I am more hesitate to flash over to Froyo or Gingerbread even more after using it! Hey, I feel like I can outbeat a Tegra even
-
Update: First of all I'm renaming this thread from "Milestone 2.1 Eclair faster than 2.2 Froyo" to "Discussion - Fastest 2.1 ROM for Milestone".
I saw some users asking about where this Telus 5.2 Eclair is.. so I'm providing the link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717377.
No I am not associated with the dev who made that ROM or whatsoever, and I am not duplicating the thread. Merely suggesting the fastest 2.1 ROM available (currently), for those who are not the 'wait and obey' users of Milestone, but to the 'commander' users of this device. Continuous discussions about which is the fastest 2.1 ROMs are still welcomed here, and of course, any ROM comparison discussions with other various versions (eg. 1.6, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0??) should head over here >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029887
I haven't used Eclair in a long time but I remember how clad i was when I flashed a custom ROM for a first time (some Cm7 nightly) and on my case my milestone felt blazing fast even with bad memory management and I "promised" I never go back to stock eclair and have kept that promise. I'm now running FroyoMod 2.6.1b and this is probably the most stable rom I've ever had and if u haven't tried it then u should because it just might me the rom that ur looking for when it comes to stability and capabilities.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Hey MakeW00t , sounds interesting. But fast alone isn't enough for me. Good memory management plays a vital role as well. I just hate to see vital apps (eg. navigational software) got killed just because I had to read my SMS or check a few things on the calendar!
Anyway, thanks for your recommendation. Maybe I'll flash FroyoMod 2.6.1b when I feel Eclair is not enough.
I've been through that before "I never go back to stock eclair" But now that I had it back.. I can't see any reason NOT to..

Same here, it is nice to have a PHONE again, and Eclair makes it real... Sad but true... I tried and tested almost all mods available on this forum (including official stock froyo update and Froyo Mod 2.6, which unfortunately also appears to be frustrating and sluggish after only 2-3 days of intensive use, without too much apps installed at all!)... must admit that my personal favorite is MIUI by lalit79 (recommendations, great job done lalit!), but after some serious stability/speed issues in latest version (overheating during battery charge, ext2/4 not working whatever method I tried, FCs), Eclair is the ultimate choice of the moment (I need a stable and reliable device, for calls and long bussines emails, no crashes or FC-s or reboots)... at least, until a new MIUI version is ready... If you already didn't, try rooting and overclocking eclair with milestone OC (@900/56) - it gives a nice final touch of ultimate speed and joy of "Phone Without Compromise" (and official froyo is one BIG compromise, if you ask me)....
cheers!
Hi mcekic. Well as a matter of fact I did OC my Milestone using Milestone Overclock to 1000Mhz, 69vsel. Battery life is ok so I guess I'll stick with it for a while (If not I will use your 900/56, should give me more battery life - logically).
I believe I have the same needs as you, to have a real PHONE again!
Don't get me wrong, Froyo does have all the extra functionalities (I miss App2SD and Flash 10 the most - but I heard that this is possible on Eclair as well? Havn't done my homework yet in regards to this) but in the end, all that functionalities goes to waste when the performance is sacrificed.
I have also OC'ed the phone to 1Ghz when I was running Froyo. But I think the main culprit is the memory management. It just can't stop killing apps, and when it does, the phone felt slow. I used Autokiller, that helped a bit, but Eclair still wins.
Now, does anyone knows the best Eclair ROM ? I need a naked ROM if available. Whoa now that would be super fast!

I think Froyo is so heavy for MS. But in another view, it's not too bad.
Did you try stock ROM from Motorola?
Except DSI, I think it's acceptable. You can run at 550MHz without any problem.
With CM6, I have to OC at 750.
But now I use it for daily uses, because it's very convenience.

i tried stock 2.1 from moto germany but then switched to telus lite 5.2 with a gb skin. it runs smooth and stable like a rock and can handle multiple apps in mem (facebook, maps, opera and minor stuff like talk, gmail, etc at the same time).
besides the skin it is pretty vanilla and wields all the nice stuff like overclocking and the cache hack.
Eclair is the best. i overclocked at 800Mhz with 58 Volts. Its smooth and no bugs/issues. It never restarts and works just fine.

i tried stock 2.1 from moto germany but then switched to telus lite 5.2 with a gb skin. it runs smooth and stable like a rock and can handle multiple apps in mem (facebook, maps, opera and minor stuff like talk, gmail, etc at the same time).
besides the skin it is pretty vanilla and wields all the nice stuff like overclocking and the cache hack.

Well, I believe you're an experienced custom froyo ROM user then. For me I didn't have the time to flash that many froyo ROMs to test. But hey, I guess you've saved my time by sharing your experience with it right
Cool, I should not be doing much this weekend so I think I'll make up some time to flash telus lite 5.2 - The most important thing for me is to have a reliable phone, and a responsive one as well. Based on your recommendation, I think telus lite 5.2 fits the bill. Will try it out and give my opinion on it later. Thanks!

Eclair is the best. i overclocked at 800Mhz with 58 Volts. Its smooth and no bugs/issues. It never restarts and works just fine.

Hey I was running on 1Ghz 69vsel, now trying 800Mhz 58vsel. Hopefully there is a noticeable difference in the battery life! Thanks hp13!

btw: if you want a gingerbread-look on telus lite (as the default skin and fonts are ugly imho) try "better gingerbread theme for 2.1". just make sure you delete settings.apk and motocardock.apk in the skin update zip.

Thanks, hey, as a matter of fact, let me try this on my stock 2.1 ROM.
A bit update on my 2.1 stock, when downloading big files over 100MB via browser and saving to SDCard, my phone will eventually be in the 'sleep of death' mode where it sleep and will never turn on again - unless I remove and reinsert the battery of course. Not sure what's causing this.
Update : It was my MicroSD card which been causing this. It's corrupted somehow or rather ...
Another issue is that when I record videos and battery is low, during the end of recording, the phone will hang. Tried this several times when the battery is low (about 15% charge left), and confirmed that is the issue - why? possible cause maybe not enough power to process / save these videos? Snapping pictures works ok. On some devices (especially Samsungs), camera and video function will be denied access when battery is low. I guess this could be the issue unless anyone else have not run into this problem before?
hmm now i really want to go back to eclair, cm7 is to big for the milestone
Indeed, Telus Lite 5.2 is the way to go. Very good stability and speed.
Darn... I've just flashed Telus 5.2 last Sunday and it's TRUE that this is the fastest ROM available for the Milestone!
I just can't believe the speed that I'm getting. I feel that I can outbeat a Tegra even! Hahahaha..
The phone (compared to stock 2.1) is also cooler when tethering. I used to get up around 46c - 57c, with the Telus I'm getting like 34c - 47c with wifi tether on.
In terms of battery life. After 13hrs 10minutes, my battery went down from 100% to 50%. Edge was turned on all the time. 15minutes of Wifi tether with HSDPA on. 30minutes of fb and websurfing. 15 minutes on Papago GPS. Some SMS and whatsapp plus yahoo messenger runnin all the time as services. Not bad.
Highly recommended for Eclair users!
AFAIK though, nobody has been able to get app2ext working in Telus Lite.
People have gotten app2ext work with stock eclair though. (1 of these days, I plan to go back to rooted, OC'd, GOT sbf eclair. I assume that app2ext will work as GOT is heavily based on the stock eclair sbf.)

GOT Eclair is Stock Eclair, it is a Leak of the official Firmaware. only change is the vulnerable recovery afaik.
rest of GOT specific modifications are applied through OR! was one of the best Eclair FW's i tried (for the first time my alarm and geolocation service were working ; )

yeah i tried Eclair too again, rly a difference in speed, but some features brought me back to CM6.
imo there are good reasons to go back and stay at eclair, but there are also good reasons to stay on froyo tbh.
+speed speed speed
+multitasking
+battery life
-no flash
-old google apps some can't be updated (gmail, youtube)
-no "2 finger Map Rotation Maps"
I was just woundering what everyone is running on there thrill/O3D now?
How is it working for you?
I just went back to v10c 2.2.2 from v20c 2.3.5 and i am just using stock rom and overclock kernal and titanium pro to remove all my bloatware. Running really nice only thing i miss is cut and paste and the keyboard from gingerbread.
I'm running Roadrunner stock ROM
speeds aren't too bad with the OC and v6 script
had issues with fixing the APN but all better now
Ill probably install cm7 vengence later today
what made you come back down
i just wanted to mess around with roms and stuff like that i might try out cm7 to but i heard if you take your sd card out at all wile its installed it bricks your phone
I ran it fine without taking out the SD card, I downloaded MIUI Flag Config and used that tool I think there are instructions on the O3D XDA site. Pretty neat little tool
Only issue was setting my APN and flex settings

Why? You should be using Swiftkey X anyway.
I'm with AT&T and I had put Rogers 2.3, v20c. But I hated not having a it rooted so I dropped it back down to Rogers 2.2, v10c, then put CM7 37 and I love it. They finally worked out the battery draining issues in cm7 and the only 3D currently on it is the ability to take 3D pictures, but I never really used the 3D anyways so it's not a big loss for me. Also using the LunarUi theme and it's gorgeous.
well that sounds nice mabie ill flash that tonight
omg cm7 were you been all my android life of one month love this rome with overclock kernel so nice forget about 3d and hdmi i can live with out that think ive found my secound love lol
