After 3+ years of service on my Eris I have finally upgraded to a RAZR MAXX. I cleaned off the Eris and it's very responsive (should have done that a long time ago just to speed it up). It's running 2.1 and I am wondering if there's any advantage to going to Gingerbread for games and if so is there a specific rom that is optimized for this phone? I assumed that it was too slow for most games like Temple Run but I'd like to get whatever I can on it for my daughter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's hard to answer that completely - it would be a very subjective answer. I do like the CM7 ROMs (GSB and Condemned Soul's CM7 are the two that I have tried; they are both good.)
CondemnedSoul has also written something that disables the phone radio, so any ROM can be WiFi only.
As for performance - this is an Eris. Even with an overclocked ROM, I wouldn't expect miracles.

xtrSENSE 5.0.1 works perfectly. You won't get the crazy apps that don't work on it, but Ant Smasher works fine. Forget about Angry Birds though.
I've also been using xtrROM 5.0.1 lately. It does seem a bit smoother and faster, though I missed the HTC keyboard and had to reinstall it. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416

tdandroid - was your root successful?
I'm doing the same thing with my wife's old Eris and giving it to my 8 yr old.
I've yet to start and am open to ANY advice from you, doogald, or others on the EASIEST way for me to achieve this process.
From what I've read, I think I'm going to use CM7 ROM and xtrSENSE 5.0.1 (not sure if this is newest or best). Now I just have to figure out hte process.

This is what I have on both of my Eris's and I will be giving one of them to my 9 1/2 granddaughter. He make the best rom's for the Eris IMO.

It might be a bit laggy. If her friends compare it to something a year newer, it might look awful. Just my opinion. XTR, both Sense And ROM (almost Vanilla), are a lot more responsive even if they do appear a bit dated.
