Root Have You Permanently Moved On to Froyo?

[Duffman3005]

Ill be changing to V30 shortly, the last 2 days, V29 has been laggy and unresponsive!! Hope this change will help! Would I have to wipe or is it fine just flashing this V30 over V29?

If I flash it over will I keep all the stuff I had on V29?

I wiped/flashed to 30 and it restored every app automatically (the ones that had "Automatic update" checked).

I flashed over V29 (doing just a Dalvik cache wipe; no factory reset wipe) and everything has been working perfectly well.

Though I forgot to note if your having any problems with 29 it's better to wipe/flash. I had some minor problems with Froyo's a2sd and the wipe/flashing cleared everything up.

Been on Kaos for over a week, and at this point I'm keeping it. V30 has been fantastic. No issues I can see for my usage. Great battery life, very good speed. Love all the tweaks that are possible.

Nice to see all that, especially the battery life, with a 2.2.

My experience was quite similar, the only thing drawing me back to 2.1 being the extraordinary speed of xtrROM 3.0.3.

Obviously Froyo ROMs on the Eris are ready for prime time.

I wouldn't say fully ready form prime time yet, theres still a few minor issues that they are trying to work out (clicking the gallery from the camera app and going back causing a full lockup, IIRC) but it is damn close.

For me battery life is comparable to what I got with 2.1. but of course it all depends on what I am doing, When I used the Beautiful Live Weather LWP I probably would see about a 2-4 hour drop in total battery life. but still enough to get me through the day (14-20 hours)

I was thinking about upgrading from the Eris to the Droid X or Incredible due to space/speed etc. but this rom has got me second guessing that, and may get me to stay with the Eris. Granted I would love to capture at HD quality (since we have a baby girl on her way) that way I don't have to bring my digital camera or camcorder everywhere with us. But who knows, I have to wait until December anyway.

I could not replicate that issue with Kaos v30, although I saw it posted around.

Back in v27 I remember the gallery being wiggy upon loading if changing to landscape while the screen was still busy, and the preview function of the camera being either non-existent or short-lived.

After four days with v30 I came away with no bugs to list but only the comparative, slight sluggish feel next to my default ROM.

I don't use the stock camera app but Camera 360 so I have not recreated it either, in fact I love this ROM and have had almost 0 issues with it, The only thing I do have is an random reboot every day or so. Which is probably because I flashed 30 over 29, but oh well; I may, pending what my wife wants to do today do a clean wipe and re flash 30, but we will see.

I never had 28 or 29 in there.. 27 seemed pretty good despite the cam and gallery issues.

It seemed fast, etc, so I jumped to 30 and was pleasantly surprised to see my settings and apps, etc all intact from 27.

Loving V30's smoothness, hopes it stays like this!

Are there any benfits over ADW and Launcher Pro?

Is it just a simple flash LP over ADW or....?

^ LauncherPro is just an app installation (no flashing). You can have ADW and LP installed at the same time. You just set one of them to be the "default" home. If you want, you can remove ADW using Titanium or RootExplorer if you decide you like LP better.

people are saying LauncherPro is faster. thats what i use and it seems pretty fast.
