Has anybody tried the official release for froyo from att? I'm wondering if it's really worth it to flash to stock and use that.

I would wait for verizon to get a lte compatible iPhone then go that route

Until then everything else seems like a waste

Nope, can't say that I've did. If you really love bloat-ware, not being able to tether, the very laggy rfs file system, and only being able to install apps from the market, then the stock Froyo might be for you!

Ps, there are great roms, without the above things, that are based on official captivate releases--- firefly, andromedia, etc. I recommend firefly.

Seriously, whenever you come to Lafayette, I can flash a rom and load back all your apps in about 15 minutes.

I'm actually still on Doc's rom. Only issue I've had with it is battery time. I bought an extended battery from amazon a few days ago, should be here on Monday. With root access we can get around all the bloatware and such, but I was just wondering if it was more stable. I haven't tried the firefly rom, is it getting good battery usage/no dropped calls/good modem/not having to restart every day?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Firefly is a captivate-based rom, unlike doc's. Imo, its the best out there across the board. I've been using it as my daily driver for a while, only switching to other roms to give them a try. I always end up back on firefly. Give it a go, you won't be dissappointed. Just flash it right over, from recovery (NOT ROM MANGER), but be sure to delete cache/data beforehand. If you have any problems, go back to stock, master clean, then flash it again.

After many, many years with his and hers Razr V3's through Centennial Wireless, I'm going with AT&T...an HTC Surround for me and a Samsung Rugby II for Wifey.

AT&T is like an old shoe. I'm used to them and the stupid way they do things.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for helping me make the call.

Anybody on here running a custom ROM for Droid Incredible?

 

[lvsaintsfan57]

Just flashed Firefly. Pretty darn smooth, I haven't unplugged my phone yet, so we'll see how the battery life is (I have an extended battery and was getting about 24 hours with normal to heavy usage).
