Hello, just bringing my OG back to life for my wife. Looking for the most stable froyo based miui release if anyone has it. I looked on their forum and the last ones were all gingerbread based. I'm wanting the phone to run as smooth as possible as this is her first smart phone.

It doesn't exist.
Yet.
Check the Gingerbread thread in the i9000 forum. Once it's up and running fully, then it'll be a hop, skip, and a jump from Captivates. As is it already runs beautifully. They just need to nail down the stability and Camera/Network/GPS.

A few people tried to do a vanilla 2.1 when the cappy was released but it didn't really get far.

The closest you'll get to a stock rom is the gingerbread rom in dev right now
The Gingerbread ROM is from the Nexus S, so it will be as vanilla as it gets.

Samsung has never released Source - so no way to do a Vanilla ROM.
BUT.. like the above posters have said there is the Source for the Nexus S and they are making great headway... it will be the closest we get to a "Vanilla" ROM for our phones.
Hi,
I've never tried a gb rom (in fact any rom), but I'm rooted and ready to go. But which one? So many choices.
What's the most reliable and complete gb 2.3 rom? Recommendations?

You want everything for granted? Test and see which is good enough for you. Maybe someone has other tastes...
Hi Andy,
I've been using MicroMod's ASOP for a while now with no issues (other than those listed, mainly no Video Camera). Getting around 2 days battery life with moderate use, which is better than other roms I've tried.
It's mainly stock, which works for me. Best bet is to try a few and see what you like. Nandroid is your friend!

Micromod's GB ROM is pretty stable for everyday use.
If you want features than the CyanogenMod 7nightlies is stable enough for me to use everyday but it's still a work in progress.
...........
I like Micromod's GingerBread Rom (unfortunately just announced that he will be leaving the building for another device).
The CM nightlies are plenty stable.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who replied. Seems like a fairly good consensus of opinion, that micromods rom might be s good starting point.
Once I've started (probably with micromods), who knows where it will lead? (Hopefully not to a brick..
)
Just don't want my first ever flash to be something known to be incomplete or unstable.
Ta!

MicroMod's latest version of 2.3 .. and flash redstar's kernel for an awesome battery life.
hi Deekay, are you referring to this redstart kernel: RedStar 925mV Kernel?

Don't worry so much man. As long as you're not flashing an HBOOT, radio, or maybe a recovery, it's very hard to brick a phone. I would recommend trying a leaner, cleaner GB ROM before trying MicroMods, just so you can get a feel for pure GB without all of the extra apps and funky screen transitions. Straight CM7 nightly is what I'd suggest. Check imfloflo's thread.

CM7 GB is more stock than MM AOSP GB? I find CM to be one of the most modded ROMs out there, not that that's a bad thing.

CM7 has a lot of options built in, but so does MM's GB ROM. Both are excellent, but of the two, CM doesn't have any fancy screen transitions and extra apps installed aside from the basics.
Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unsure of the "wonkyness" of cm7, I flashed micromods aosp gb rom last night. Did multiple titanium and nandroid backups, bit my lip and went for it.
Superb! Running it now, no regrets so far... all done within about an hour, everything working.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just to make it clear for others as I think there is a little confusion. Micromod777 has released two gingerbread ROM's. His original GB ROM was one of the first good stable builds after the AOSP was released, this finished on v.20 which can be found here:
Gingerbread v.20
He then began working on a new ROM based on Cyanogenmod 7, which is now discontinued as he's a busy man:
MicroMod's Gingerbread CM7 Custom ROM v1.4-FINAL
so i have my nexus one on stock 2.3 and I am getting really annoyed with the call delay issue. I am willing to downgrade to 2.2 if that fixes the problem, but i was looking for a stable rom either 2.2 or 2.3 that does not have this issue. I am looking for a rom that gives improved battery life primarily.
Can anyone suggest anything for me please.
Enomthr 2.14.4 is stable with a base of 2.2.1
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
yeah basically cyanogen 6.1.1 is the peak of stability smoothness with a load of extra features on top of it. its based on froyo 2.2.
You could try miui if you want to get creative.....?
Hey Guys!
I've been busy flashin all those great ROM's you put toghether, and i have one question.
I'd like to have a real AOSP gingerbread ROM, just like the Nexus S, as Google intended.
But all i've seen so far is CM7, and Darky's ROM, but those are all customized ROM's. Is there some problem wich i don't know about, and will there ever be a chance for a pure google ROM?
Thanks in advance,
FEJTH
The SGS is marketed with touch wiz, so you'll never likely get an official AOSP rom. The Nexus S is produced by Samsung for Google
CM7 is the closest thing you will find to basic gingerbread

I recently started flashing cm7 like no other rom, and true...it's the best thing closest to stock aosp! But...that rom is built on aosp, so the basics are there, right?
What is holding back for a IMHO simple stock rom..?

Haven't been able to find one, but I was hoping someone knew if there was a vanilla GB rom for the Droid 4. I want to get a "de-blurred" version on GB on the D4 until we get ICS. Anyone know of one? Thanks in advance!
There's a few roms that still have Motoblur but with less bloatware, but none that match your description. For a true "vanilla" GB experience you'd probably want CM7, but Hashcode pretty much abandoned his work on it for CM9. That was on the Droid 3, I highly doubt there's anything for the Droid 4 at this point.

Unfortunately, the biggest hold-back has been getting a deodexed version of the stock ROM. I tried deodexing once so far, and my result didn't boot. At the moment, I'm running one of the Nightlies of AOKP that has proven to be particularly stable, so whether I will go back to trying to deblur the stock ROM, I don't know. Honestly, I haven't seen much interest in it. You can try my Motoblur LT ROM for now and see how it works for you, though. I did replace the launcher with Zeam and added the stock Car Home, but that's about it I'm afraid.
I used this to deblur my phone a few minutes ago and it seems fine so far. btw i DID NOT hard reset my phone.
I'm running Eclipse 1.3.4, and it's de-Blurred enough that I can stand it. Intall a launcher, and you'd hardly know there is any Blur left.
Eclipse is deodexed.

Is it possible to build CM7 from source for the DROID 4? Can we use the vendor files the devs are using to build ICS?

We could start with the D3 port, and update it and go from there, but after talking with Hashcode, I was reluctant to work on it because I am not 100% familiar with how Safestrap works. Unfortunately, I rely HEAVILY on my phone for my school and work, and if I accidentally brick it, I am in big trouble.
