I can't decide what rom to run! i want something with decent battery life and good performance. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Four Days. I think you should plan on spending 4 days trying out the various ROMs until *you* find one that *you* like; with you spending a day on each one. They come with their own set of strengths.
My personal experience with Onyx and Axura is that they both had good battery life. I've also tried Obsidian, but thought that the battery life with Onyx was better.
But, ultimately, the battery life will depend on what apps & widgets you use and how you use your phone.
Good luck.
Thanks, I'm currently trying one of them out. A relatively new one but I like their setup. Will definitely see how battery life is and go from there
Been running macnutr12 with the latest bstock kernel1120_100 and jfs overkill lagfix enabled...smooth sailing.

If you want GPS to work, stay away from any i9000 based ROM such as the MacNut series. Any ROM based on JK2 (such as AOSP-ish or Axura) though should come with at least typical GPS functionality. The ROM's description will typically say what it is based upon.
I've tried different ROMs and so far each ROM has its lack on something. I ended up doing the same thing I did with 2.1 which was built my own ROM (JK2 based) and stock kernel for a phenomenal battery life.
I'm in the same boat...i don't know what rom to use...i rooted it, have rom manager, one click lag fix, but confused on what rom to use and yet how to do it...youtube videos are ok but not that helpful. Someone give me a good thought. Guess I'm looking for a quick and responsive phone or rom rather.
Thank u in advance.

I personally like the frobuntu rom, my daily driver. Everything runs smooth.
I personally like the team whiskey froyo ROMS like Onyx and Obsidian...I'm running Onyx cuz TouchWiz has been completley removed...

Currently running this rom Re: [ROM] FroyoCollab V1.2.1 ULF_Kernel / Stock_Kernel | **11/27/10**
Its really smooth and battery so far is ok. Gps is great, slight overclock and running ULF lag fix. Does have TW but a real smooth version of it

I tried most of the major 2.2s, including Macnut, Axura, and Obsidian, and finally went back to the first one I tried: Eugene's Stock 2.2/Odin flashable. It gives me great performance and the battery life is awesome.
If I had to pick one of the highly modified 2.2 ROMs it would probably be Axura. I found Macnut and Obsidian basically unusable due to terrible battery life.
So with so many Froyo roms out and new ones that just seem to keep rolling in what is the best working froyo rom. I am looking for the one with the least amount of bugs and is fast. Looking for Rom and Kernel combos that people like.
I am currently running TW fusion with their core kernel and my phone runs dam near perfect in every way.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
UPDATE **
Going to try Axura (Masters Rom) and Nero (Team Whiskey) and report back the results.
UPDATE**
So been running Nero for several hours. Runs very smooth and real fast. I did use Eugene's new super kernel and seemed to speed it up even a little more. My only problems so far has been a could force closes on the messaging app and wifi calling runs in the back ground no matter what and eats up battery.
Axura 2.1 is a pretty bad ass rom
Sent from samsung vibrant running Macnut 14
I am running ASOPish and it is stable and more than enough for me. I haven't had many problems with this ROM since I have had on my phone, which has been about a month.
More info can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832532
The one thing that I will say is that the dev has seemingly moved on from this ROM, so other than other knowledgeable users, you MAY not get needed support if that is necessary. However, I can tell you that quite a few people reported using the ROM, then because of the lack of dedicated support, trying others, but ultimately coming back be it's ease and usability.
Hope this helps, and good luck. Whatever you decide to do, you're in the right place.
I like team whiskey roms, had great luck with them and am currently running 4.2 onyx stock kernel and jk6 modem combo. Good battery life, speed, and not any issues generally. I haven't tried axura, but didn't bother because I used a master rom for 2.1 and it seemed like he just modeled his roms right off of tw with no major coding changes besides themes...Eugene is a solid dev too, but I've read his i9000 based kernels don't offer the best battery life.

It's a shame, you should check out what Master has done with froyo. Take a look at Axura, it's quite an improvement over his 2.1 (MATE) ROM.
Have tried everything I could get my hands on and must say that Team Whiskey's Nero is by far the fastest and most attractive. Obviously just my opinion, but that's what you asked for
I have run both the stock kernel and ttabbal's dragon kernel with Nero. Both have their advantages. The stock is plenty fast and get's great battery life. The dragon kernel goes to plaid speed but is based off of i9k so it eats battery.
Team Whiskey's froyo roms are pretty good. Obsidian V5 beta is very stable..
Runnin nero+dow
I've tried them all and I have to say that out of all of 'em, AOSP 2.2 and Nero Beta 2 are the by far the most stable, reliable, clean, and have the best battery life (still testing battery life on Nero but so far goin on 10 hours with moderate/heavy use).

Axura. Gives you about 24+ hours of battery with normal use.

Have to agree Nero is running amazing.
Nero is lovely... can't figure out why the SD is so buggy, cant write too and/or reads the wrong amount of free space. I tried the SD_Fix zip... someone PM me a solution if known.
I have tried many roms, and so far Nero 2 is my favorite. It is super fast, good looking and the gps works great. I have only been using it for a few days but so far I am impressed, the battery life seems to be very good.
Using Som's jk6 stock rom...perfect in every way.
(At least until newer roms are out of beta).
Ok so i got a rom from rom manager app and it was SUPER glitchy

Correct, but the bible hasn't been updated in a month.
Nor has the wiki which can be found HERE.
To be honest, I've only found minimal difference in the performance of the most recent 2.2 ROMs. They're all fairly good.
Before you jump in to deep, please do some research. You will save yourself alot of headaches. The stickies are a great place to start.
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
ROMS
This is some kind of basic orientation:
First, nobody can really tell you which rom will work better for you.
Vibrant problem is that, there are many variations on the hardware, some have a bigger nand, some can be overclocked some cannot. Some get problems with vodoo.
You just have to be ready to experiment, and most importantly not to panic if something goes wrong.
First step. Get familiar with ODIN, learn how to use it and most important, learn how to get your phone in Download Mode.
Step two. Be sure you have the original shipping rom (pit and tar files) at least to odin back to shipping stock. This can save your life if OC is not supported by your phone, if you forget to disable vodoo or lagfix before flashing another rom, and so on)
Step three. If you install any kind of lagfix, including Voodo, be sure to disable it, before flashing anything else. (If you forget you vcan always fix it, going back to stock and repartition it, i can't recall anybody actually bricking a Vibrant just for doing that)
Decide if you want stock or a modified rom. Read, read a lot, to see adventages and disadventages of each.
Decide if you want 2.1 or you are ready to go for froyo
And remember, I can't recall anybody bricking the phone, but be careful you can always be the first, and is only your responsability not anybody else, if you brick your phone.
ohh hand don't forget to HAVE FUN!!!!

Take a look at my recent video reviews of some of the latest popular ROMs. There are instructions in the description box of the videos to get you started =]
I embedded one of my videos below. This one showcases Axura 2.2.5.7. A great looking ROM that is fast, stable, and again, very good looking. If you check out my channel I have other videos of other ROMs. A video of Nero v3 by Team Whiskey will be up in an hour.

Nero v3 by team whiskey or sombionix...it simply rocks rather flies......frrrrrrrr
Sent from my SGH-T959 on fire on Nero V3 by Team Whiskey using XDA App
I strongly recommend AXURA. I'm currently on 2.2.5.7. Very stable and fast, unlike Nero v3 in my experience. I'm actually surprised at how stable it is!
I was using CyanogenMod 6.1 before Axura, which is a complete AOSP Android build (without any Samsung crap) with many improvements. I've been using CyanogenMod since I had my G1 before the Vibrant, and I really wanted to use it on my new phone, but unfortunately it's still buggy. Even with sombionix's SD mount fix, the external SD cannot be mounted. Video playback doesn't seem to be GPU accelerated like it normally is. Mounting USB usually tends to consume lots of memory on the phone (maybe a memory leak?) while I work with large files, and it just stops the connection.
I didn't want to use a Samsung-based ROM, but Axura is the best right now IMO.

I would stay away from anything tagged team whiskey. Axura, imo, is the most stable of the vibrant mods. Try them all and decide for yourself but get comfortable with Odin and imaging back to stock. Especially if you test out TW mods.

I've used axura and nero, but I am currently using pepperkake, and it is by far the best of both worlds. Fast, stable, and the battery life is awesome! I highly recommend it, everything just works! (v2)

Whats up with the TW hate?
I have been using tw roms for months nw and the only times I have had isues is when I don't ODIN back to stock. Why do you guys dislike so much?

Why? I got NeroV3 and love it. Got the leaked Froyo from Team Whiskey in NeroV1Beta3 and then upgraded to Nerov3 using JUST my phone. You have to give them a few points for making it so dam easy. As far as stable, been running it through the ringers for days now with no problems whatsoever. You enable the Voodoo on NeroV3 and it will scream. I got the Touchwiz version, you should give it a shot OPer

Nero V3 w/ Launcher Pro is more of the way to go lol.. Voodoo enabled of course. Super fast, I'd put Axura in there but, Axura is slightly more buggy and has this problem with the white or gray font color in the notification bar with music players, where the font blends in with the gray theme.. Nero is sleek and clean and bugless IMO.

Please put your questions to: Vibrant Q&A
Axura 2.2.5.7 smoothest and fastest i've tested with voodoo enabled ..... Pepperkake is also pretty smooth and fast. These are the two i like most for their speed and stability.
Well I had my mind made up on Supercurio's KA6 Build with Voodoo and after some reading I came across this person's rom s0niqu3 (KA6+voodoo+bln+cifs), I just want a rom that is basicly the Samsung KA6 build, but speed up so my phone doesnt lag. Which one should I use?
You mean kernel, when we refer to 'roms' we're talking about the framework, theming, and applications that make up the software that sits on top the kernel.
To answer your question though, you will do just fine with one of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernels. Very reliable and the lag fix is totally worth it...will probably save you hours of fiddling/waiting for the UI over the lifetime of the phone.

I still suggest Eugene's GingerClone R2. I have been using this for about 2 months and it is still the best performing ROM that I've experienced for the Vibrant.
Trigger 2.6.2
It has the kernel you want (voodoo, voodoo sound, voodoo color and almost completely stock). The ROM is stable, no known bugs that I'm aware of. Beautifully themed too.
Edit, just saw .3 was released. I would load it up, get it running how you like, and then flash s0niqu3s kernel on top of it. I do feel it's better than KA7+voodoo.
Hi,
I’m looking for rom to my wife what impotent:
good battery life, fast GPS lock, can run games, look good (effects, etc..), don’t have any bugs that woman can’t solve
I doubts between 2.2 \ 2.3 \ 4.0.X
I saw in dev page that a lot of roms created this month
I know that there is bug in ICS that can block the access to internal memory card (or is it fixed already???)
The phone currently with “project-v” rom and can’t run games (have lag’s) slow, acting weird (when open call log \ try to dial numbers it go back to home screen)
Thanks.
Fishmod bionix or jellettes private stock. Both are awesome
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
another suggestions?
BTW - does the ICS bug (encryption error fixed already)
how come we never see anyone ask for a rom that has crappy battery life, broken gps, horrible multitasking, a brown&yellow theme, and tons of bugs (random reboots, 911, freezing due to underclocking)???
'Cause we can get those without asking.
Bionix Fishman mod final is wonderful.

To my knowledge, the encryption bug is still out there...although it is kind of a hit or miss, maybe it would be best if you stuck with froyo or GB....as those above me have mentioned, anything by either Fish or jellette is a safe bet.
thanks.
So this is my options:
Bionix-V FishmanMod Final 3
AOSP'ish-FishmanMod V1.1
Xerxes I - Preview Version
Any preferred?

vibrant rom
my wife uses deranged 9-fishman mod kernel version 2.6.32.9-Bali_1.8.8uv. it is fast has great battery life and runs her gps and games with no problem
I've recently come back to good ol' stable Froyo from trying out ICS (ICZen and Slim), and while they're both very slick I can't deal with some of the app lag and GPS quirks (quick lock on first boot and then 40-100s locks afterwards).
I went through a littany of roms including Zendroid, Trigger, Project-V, Fishman's RAZR, Fishman's Bionix Mod, Toxic, and something never quite felt right with any of them so I eventually came full circle back to Bionix 1.3.1 but this time with the Overstock 2.4.1 kernel instead of Voodoo. It's just the way it needs to be: light, fast, super stable, and themed really well by default.
But for simplicities sake I say the Bionix-V FishmanMod (maybe even his 2.2 Blue) would be the best choice since they're still "alive" (Fishman actually responds from time to time in the threads) in case you ever needed help.
