Last weekend I flashed Bionix 1.7. It is awesome! Best rom so far. However, I am currently looking to install the front facing camera in hopes to Skype once that opens up to Vibrant. If Bionix 1.7 does not receive OTA, then what should I do to get Froyo? I am a noob so any help at all would be great.

I am currently set up as follows;
Baseband version T959UVJI2
kernel version 2.6.29
Build number ECLAIR.UVJI6
Firmware Version 2.1-update1

Well first of all, you have to wait for froyo to be released for the Vibrant.
Secondly, you probably wont want to upgrade to the OTA froyo. If you like what you have now, you will want to wait until someone releases a ROM based off of it.
In order to get the OTA if you did want it, you'd probably have to make sure you flash back to the stock kernel and such so that you can get the OTA when it does come available.
I would wait for the froyo release of your current ROM and not get the OTA update. Never know what they are going to throw in there to hack the hackers.
I appreciate the quick response. Are you confident enough in a supporting ROM that I should make the move and install the camera?

Dude,
Bionix will probably have 2.2 before it is released OTA lol.. Dont sweat it

Yes, if not Bionix then someone else will.
Thanks. I will order and install the camera, and wait for the people that know what they are doing instead of T-Mobile.

Bionix is a machine, I don't think he ever sleeps. 1.8 is likely to be out today and if not, probably tomorrow. Even if Tmo released 2.2, I would wait for Bionix to make a ROM based on it.
That being said, if you have a custom ROM, you shouldn't be receiving OTA updates. It just doesn't work. (Although, I have heard of a few instances of people running custom ROM's and still getting the update notification, )
What can 1.8 bring? 1.7 is rock solid.

Hello XDA im a eris-aholic and im looking for a froyo rom with flash. So far ive only found 2. 1 roms that have flash but no 2.2's or am i missing something? Pls help!!
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
The only one that I know of is the KaosLegendary v.19 ROM. It's a Wildfire Port, but is very visual rough and still in the alpha phase but flash does really work (probably thing that works really well as of right now). Hope this helps :3
Edit:
The reason for this is that to have Flash 10.1 of the Eris you either need to port it on the back of another 2.2 sense ROM or build it on top of out default 2.1 sense ROM with flash lite. Most (maybe all) other 2.2 ROMs for Dorid Eris are ASOP (cyanogen) which doesn't work well when mixed with the Eris and Flash.

Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Ok so I'm. Going to assume that install through pc to kaos 37 also wouldn't work well then. Is like to have the best of both worlds but legendary is still alpha and kinda funky atm IMHO. any other input would be great
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I've had flash running on every 2. 1 sense Rom that I've flashed, but so far no luck with the 2.2 because they are all cyanogen. As of last night or the night before, the htc gratia was ported to the Eris. It's the first "working" 2.2 SENSE Rom for us. Only problem is that its still very very rough.. setup is in Chinese, no WiFi, camera issues, and to turn it off you have to do a battery pull. So, maybe in a few weeks some of our great devs will have that Rom running smoother and reliably, and maybe then, flash will work on it. Even then, there may still be issues =/ we'll see tho! Hope this helps!

Or a couple of days lol. There's a few versions out now like tenzos and tazz's. Both are already looking very good.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
IMO Tenzo is on the forefront of making a useable functional 2.2 Sense ROM for our Erii.
+1 for Tenzos 2.2 Sense rom.
So far I've demo'd them both and tenzo is definitely closer to completion even though it still has bugs.... ill probably go with tenzo unless kaos pulls this through quick
And clean

Eh nothing you will really notice. Don't expect a feature filled update.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
Bionix-V is the older more stable version and the Bionix Frost is the newer, in Beta testing development version.
Another difference is that Bionix-V is based on the software that Samsung put on the Vibrant, while Frost is based on the software that is on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Since the base for Frost was originally made for a different phone, more effort is required to make it work on the Vibrant.

Not disagreeing persay but Frost is just as stable. Only issue I've had is a slight menu lag.

I personally like Bionix V. Been using Team Whiskey roms for a while now and they have yet to disappoint. In the end, its just a matter of preference.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Bionix-V seems to have very few bugs. The bugs people are reporting, most users cannot duplicate their problems. Frost, well it still needs some tweaking before it's ready as a "daily driver" as stable/fast as Bionix 1.3
i've tried both. after enabling voodoo on the latest frost, i've noticed a considerable difference from the initial build. bionix is ULTRA stable. there is no doubt that it is the more stable of the two. however, IMHO i haven't noticed a huge difference between the speed or usability of either...if you would rather deal with less "potential" bugs, then i would suggest you go with Bionix V.
Are there any AOSP gingerbread roms for the eris that anyone knows of? Thats all I really want, cyanogen mod and all the extras that come on most eris ROMs just arent for me. I like clean AOSP

As far as I know, we haven't had a true, clean, non-CM, AOSP ROM since 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773127&highlight=Vanilla). I tried with Froyo with only partial success. It seems that the mods that the CM team has done allow us to work around the fact that HTC hasn't given us new drivers & libs since 2.1 and we are still on a 2.6.29 kernel. So, that's why you see new CM ROMs, but not AOSP.
That's how I understand it anyway. As always, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
And feel free to prove me wrong by building a GB AOSP ROM! I'd love to see one. It's nice to have options.
It's beeing done bro.. well so I'm told that's what it is

cool, got it loaded and on nand for later toying. Up to now I've been using a market GB launcher port (Launcher2 its called) on CM7 when the mood hit for a vanilla GB feel (which makes it feel very simular to this rom). I cant explain but there's an envy I get everytime I look at a vanilla nexus gingerbread (and its not the phone). I also had this complex with asop froyo but got over it.

Safest is always full wipe, but if noone in the Tazz 17 thread has said what worked for them, you could do a nandroid, just wipe Dalvik (not .android-secure) and flash over. Then if it gives trouble, nandroid restore your backup, backup your apps your favorite way (if you want to), then do a full wipe and flash, then restore your apps.

What really needs to be updated in CM7? I'm sure if there was a big enough issue or if Cyanogenmod came out with a new update, he will update ours.

Since there is an official new kernal that should be put in. Which is why i don't use any of these new roms cause all of those (cm7, cm9, and miui) all uses 2.3.4 crappy kernal.
It would be nice if he did that.

Kinda hard to use a new kernel with a locked bootloader
If God (dzk) uses 2.3.4 there must be a reason. of course maybe he doesn't know anything about it, and is really lucky... Doubt it.

Well at least wifi is not working well for me. It is very slow to connect, and sometimes I need a reboot to make it work. Otherwise, it stays in the scan->connect loop forever. I saw this on touchpad before, so this maybe a CM7 issue, but it is far from perfect.

The 2.3.5 Kernel is not stable. I ran it for about a week and then thankfully got the 2.3.6 update! The Kernel freezes and lags the phone horribly. Be lucky you are not on this kernal
I ran it with the Milestone X2
I personally hope he's devoting all his time to CM9!
