Whats best? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im looking for the fastest ROM and kernal.. as of right now i am using eugenes vibrant9 with jacs OC and ryanza's OCLF and getting a quadrant score of 2600... is there a better setup i could use? Even tho i know the quadrant score doesnt really matter a whole lot.. but does anyone know of anything better?

first of all - stop worrying about quadrant scores. it's all about how the device runs in all circumstances.
I would really suggest checking out some of the Froyo ROMs.
I would personally recommend Onyx or Axura. Extremely fast and smooth and also great battery lives.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Try axura, link in my signature.

like i said.. i know quadrant score doesnt mean much.. im scared to get a 2.2 ROM because i wont ever b able to get back to 2.1.. and if i mess up the process of imstalling the 2.2 i cant just use ODIN to go back to stock

You can always go back to 2.1 if you don't like 2.2. Just Odin back to JFD, root, install Rom Manager and flash anything you want after.

What exactly is JFD? I see alot of it.. just never knew what it is.. stock?

Axura 2.0.4. is beyond belief. Master updates regularly and they keep getting better & faster. Lagfixes are goofy. They seem to start doing odd things like rebooting randomly. I've had the least issues with Voodoo. Linpack 13.192 which is respectable. Yeah, Quadrant means nothing in the real world IMHO...

Axure capabilities

What is capable on the axure ROM?.. I know Oclf is not runnable on it.. found that out the hard way.. bricked my phone.. but is JACS OC/UV usable on it? With voodoo? Or some other lagfix

Do you really need a fix?
Well i got use to having lagfix and an OC on a diff ROM and got use to the blazing speeds... dont get me wrong axure is pretty quick by itself.. but slower then what im use to
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
don't know about lagfixes because i never really used them, but i know people have flashed some of eugene's oc/uv kernels successfully with axura. any oc/uv kernel needs to be 2.2, though, so, for example, tw core will not work.

The is not 1 concrete answer,i run Axura and is fast has great GPS and battery life,but some complain about battery life with it,you have to try and see what best for you,Nero 3 and Eugene ginger clone R2 are also say to be fast and good,but i haven't try them yet.
Venture and try more than one so you can see for your self which is better.
welcome to xda but questions go in the q&a section. i would prefer you to do a little reading so you get what you want first try. there are plenty of roms and really its a slew if you check out different versions. what you are looking for is a modem to flash. check out my sig. click the pic
You just gotta tinker man. Try them all and see what you like. Start with Nero v3 and go from there. You can also try flashing different modems and kernels to experiment with speed and battery life. It's all relative, dude. No one ROM works for all. Good luck, and hit up the Q&A section and utilize the search function often. Damn near any question you have has been answered.

try learning how to use Odin first, once you know how to do recovery via Odin, you can start trying out different ROMs.. I tried almost everything in this forum.. as of now my daily driver is Nero v3 with TW..
Ya I figured out how to use odin cuz when I first bought my phone I just started tryin it without fully understanding everything and when I flashed it I had no data signal so I read alot and used odin to go back to stock.

Sorry abut postin in the wrong place

I am on Nero v3 by TW as well. I have found no reason to even try something else a this point, of course that could change tomorrow. lol I find Nero V3 to be very fast and stable and the GPS works as well as any rom I have tried. Also I seem to get good reception with it.
I've tried almost all the roms out and was on nero v3 for a while but went back to Macnut R14. Flashed the jl5 voodoo kernel and the jl5 modem and this is my favorite thus far.
LEARN HOW TO ODIN BEFORE YOU FLASH. Read on ODIN, then READ some more. Try all the ROMs
Usually stock kernels are the better battery wise. The GPS performs more or less the same in all roms. Some roms are faster, but you will pay the price on battery life.
Axura, and Eugene's are using lightly to non modified kernels that give you great battery life also.
Be careful with OC kernals, many phones do not support them, and you are gonna enter in a loop and you are going to freak out.
After that, which kernel to use is mostly your taste. Some of them bring different themes and apps.
IT is all about test and evaluate yourself.......
Thanx for helpin I think I am ginna start wit nero v3 and then just take it from there. If by the loop u mean it just keeps rebootin I have done that when tryin to use odin to go back to stock. Lol I figured it out though pretty eady lol. Thanx every1.

You should use Titanium Backup for your apps.. but you have to do backup before you flash and then recover after flashing..
So im runnin nero v3 wit voodoo now. I like it. A lil better wit the batt and everything but not much. How else can I enhance everyrhing and make it better?

[Q] Fastest Vibrant Kernel/ROM?

Hey guys. I was wondering what kernel and or ROM is the fastest availible at the moment.
I've been following the Android Developement pages here for a while, and I consider myself somewhat proficient at flashing firmware, etc.
I'm running CM7 on my Vibrant right now, and I was wanting to flash a different ROM. I considered going back to stock, but I wanted to get input on what is the fastest availible right now.
Also: what lagfixes and overclocking tools do you use? I am trying to make my Vibrant as fast as possible.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Malice is the fastest. Bullet kernel is the only one which can do 1.4Ghz so i am assuming its the fastest.
Agreed! kernel/ROM (imho) Bullet1.42Ghz/Malice2.3.1.
Another good kernel i like is Tigersbloodv3
Both those kernels OC well if ur phone can handle it.
If your phone doesn't play well with OC my personal favorite is CwK
Also, download Spare Parts from the market and set both animations to "fast"... this makes the ROMs appear much faster.
The real test is going back and forth between apps and the load time.
"fast" is kind of a floating point. As someone already mentioned, fast can sometimes be as easy as speeding up the animations.
I've had great luck with the SimplyGalaxy roms due to their ability to remain fast months after flashing.
Cool! Thanks for all the input, guys!
What about overclocking and lagfix utilities?
I heard there is an app or tool that you can overclock, but set to underclock when the phone is not in use...
Also, I was using one click lag fix on stock, is there anything like that I need for these ROMs, or does it come built in?
For over/under clocking, try setcpu from the market.
OCLF is nowhere near as good as Voodoo. Most ROMs that are available in the dev section come with a voodoo injected kernel.
Try vibrace overclocked. I guerentee you will love it!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Malice or Bi Winning W/ Bullet Kernel.
Then spare parts to adjust animation speeds. <3
I personally found MIUI to be the snappiest at 1.3 ghz.
I've been running custom ROMs on my vibrant since the day it became possible, and every time I install something other than one of Eugene's ROMs I come to regret it.
CM7 with a custom OC/UV kernel gets a 2100 Quadrant that translates to a really snappy UI and 3D faster than any 2.2 ROM.

[Q] Kernel Help! really quick question on OCLF

Do I need to do the OCLF with Bullet Kernel/Trigger 3.2 Final? haha I did it, but I read around and people say you dont need to.. So is it a stock rom thing, or are there certain roms OCLF plays nice with?
Also, those who have used Trigger Rom, which kernel works better for you, Bullet or Overstock? I can't find any info on Bullet, besides the website, and everyone raves about Overstock. I don't want a overclocking fiend, I want a stable, fast phone with great battery life. Should I skip both and try Bali? Hmmmm and whichever one you suggest, please tell me if I should use OCLF!! Thanks So much every one and devs for helping out this noob

OCLF is obsolete, we all use voodoo LF in our kernels now, dont use OCLF unless you want to ODIN

So if I did it, then flashed a new kernel (Bali) after I did oclf on bullet, should I Odin to stock and reinstall trigger /Bali, or just use the undo lagfix on the oclf app? Thanks a lot

You can undo the OCLF, then flash your kernel of choice. MAKE SURE ITS UNDONE BEFORE YOU FLASH!!!! Also have ODIN handy just in case.
Before I flashed CM7 I used to use trigger with overstock. I tried bullet for a bit but I felt like overstock gave me more battery life. Bullet however did score a bit higher on benchmark tests but overall I felt overstock was smoother for the amount of battery life I got out of it.

Bali vs Glitch YOU choose

Which one would you guys recommend to me most?
I'm currently on Bali, have been for about 12 hours, and its given me a few hours extra on battery life, but i'm wondering, is Glitch even better? I don't like to flash things I don't need.
So you guys tell me.
This is to help me, AND others that wonder the same question...
Havent tried bali yet. Luuuurve glitch tho. Voodoo color is a plus and my battery life is much better, about 5 hrs more than stock redux. But as doon as bali gets voodoo color [which is soon] ill try it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Well, I'd say glitch is for the more technically/tweaking due to it have voodoo color, up to 1.7ghz oc, insane work into UV and oc stability based on your chip quality.
But Bali might have slightly better vibrant specific support since it's from a mostly vibrant oriented dev. But Bali might be more generic in the features it has (this sentence is not meant to be read as a knock or rude in anyway).

glitch is awesome, previously terrible battery life and stability was questionable, but after latest update v11 battery especially is amazing, and getting some good UV aswell

I will try Glitch, but is the battery still good even if I don't Undervolt, underclock, over clock, or anything just flash the kernel?

let me know how it goes, if bali doesnt go as well as expected in the next couple days ill probably try out glitch
Glitch seems to have better battery life, and thats what i wanted.
Bali gives more than the usual from CM7, but glitch goes over Bali, this is great, and the phone actually sleeps now.
thanks guys

Gb, and more specifically, CM7/miui. And it's only for that.

I never got how to flash a kernal. 2 years into android and I'm still clueless-__-. Do you flash it like a normal rom? I have miui running. Do I just flash? Wipe?
Im fairly new to flashing kernels as well, but you DL it, put it on your internal SD and flash it like you would a rom. Thats all I did when I flashed Bali.
So far no real difference on Bali, my battery drain on cm7 is still terrible but I just flashed it today so Ill give it a couple more days
I always had crappy battery on Glitch, and I'm talking 8-10 hours completely unused. Bali is vibrant-specific and gives MUCH better battery life, 15 hours and still had 30% left.

for bali, you do it normal, and for glitch to be safe, theres a script you have to download, and first flash that, then the kernel.

IDK if there's a version for Froyo ROMS.
Glitch is for CM7, specifically, idk if it will even work for miui- you need to pay attention to the title, which i never read.
but it is for 2.3 roms as far as i know, and there MAY be one for froyo in the future if enough people contact the developer asking for it.
