KaosFroyo

First off, i'd like to apologize for a very late blog post. I've been working full shifts at my job and its been taking a toll on me. So without further adeu, lets begin with my first Rom review.

I've had my rooted Eris for about 2 weeks now. In my course I've downloaded and installed about 4 roms. Out of the 4, I have to say, the one with the LEAST problems was KaosFroyo vs 23 and 24. KaosFroyo takes the Cyanogenmod 6.0 which runs a ported version of Froyo 2.2 and runs it on the HTC Droid Eris. Overall performance of the rom was very smooth. SetCPU worked nicely in overclocking the processor to 710 mhz safely. Screen scrolling was smooth. Applications ran well. I saw limited FC's in using many of the stock apps, although I did have issues with the Gallery 3D app, although that reason is for the hardware. Using it along with ATK is your best bet, killing background apps that just cause clutter. Live wallpapers work, but only a limited few. Some things that don't work are wireless tethering (the main reason im not using it anymore) and the camera preview on the main camera app. You can use CameraMagic to bypass that if you insist on needing the preview, although you dont necessarily need it. I found video recording to be extremely choppy though, but I didn't use that too much.

All in all it's a good rom, with good stability and good upgrade timing. I was using v 23 at the time and as soon as I was almost done it updated to v24 and left me with it longer because it was so good. I mainly don't use this anymore because wireless tethering isn't working at the moment, which is something I use for my iPod Touch (shhh don't judge). Next time I'm going to review the Evil Eris rom or the Aloysius rom. I'll figure it out. This week i'm working full time again so my update might take a while. Until next time, take care!
