I am only posting this so those who like to try new things can try this setup. It is not for everyone, but my phone is amazingly snappy, apps are opening pronto, and my battery/gps are perfect.
I am currently running Eugenes Ginger Clone R2:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=144
Notes: this does not have the shortcuts in the notification bar and also does not have swype (note the name of the ROM.... dont complain about this).
After my initial boot and getting everything all setup I flashed the JL4 stock + voodoo, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
With Eugene and supercurio combined the only way I am going to shift from this is if they themselves update, or Cyanogen comes out... stronly suggest trying this out. Be certain you are comfortable with this before trying it. You will need to disable voodoo before flashing anything else.
to disbale, go to the sdcard/voodoo folder and create a file named "disable voodoo" (without the "'s") and then reboot... it will then convert back from EXT4.
HUGE THANK YOU TO EUGENE AND SUPERCURIO - my phone might as well be the Nexus S (but with an SD Card and Gorilla Glass)!!
Anyone else running this? Do you agree that others should try it?
Not what I'm running, but lets make this a "my ideal setup until CM" sorta thread, which is how I read the subject line at least.
So far, my favorite themed setup was Frobuntu, but I had some issues with system processes chewing up CPU. So now, Blackhole. 1.1 was great, just flashing 1.2 now. Customizable - I love that. Just pick what I want in ROM Manager and it loads up. No hunting down extra files to flash or ADB push, dealing with megaupload, hotfiles, etc. I think I'm staying here until we get a CM or true AOSP build.
This setup sounds like one I've seen before if I could only remember where I saw it ohh I'm running it and it is fast but I put swype back in it I like the speed of swype the jl4 modem wasn't giving me the best connection but jl1 is pretty good but my phone is running fast as fast can be

j/k, did you flash the add-on Swype from the R series roms? If not, which Swype did you use? I'm going to grab an old .apk on my pc later today probably.
I used the swype.apk from the thread I cant remember which thread it was but I'm using naked swype the black back drop and white letters it looks amazing with the black froyo theme msg morph
And punctuation if for rich people lol

Bionix Fusion 1.2 w/ CoreR 1.2 GHZ + OCLF = fastest thing since lighting = average 2900 quadrant score. This setup was unfathomably fast, however, when reinstalling apps with TB i had problems, as i came from a 2.2 build.
Doesn't Ginger clone already have stock JL4? And super I/O? So I just need voodoo?

i'm using Eugene's Ginger Clone R2 with JL4+voodoo kernel with JL1 modem.
I upgraded this from ttabbal's dragrom which i injected AOSPish 1.1 into, with BLN. I might change GC R2 over with ttabbal's dragon kernel and use BLN.
But right now, "stock" kernel is fine.

Been getting this (at least) for a while already with Axura + Voodoo. Maybe typical for many of the popular roms when combined with Voodoo. When the 2.2.1 based ROMs become stable on the Vibrant, combining that with Voodoo might make me want to change. Other than that, short of GB Stable becoming available I probably won't see the need to change.
ooo i was flashing a wrong VOODOO not the one you told me to, disabling the old one and gonna flash the new one and tell you results.

As of 30 mins ago I am running Nerov1 by Team Whiskey and JL4 stock + Voodoo by Supercurio, can I say I am done with flashing till stable Gingerbread ROM is available
Once again, thank you to all the devs that put their own time into cooking ROM's, kernels, etc. for the Galaxy S, Samsung should really give up Galaxy S branding to XDA devs, so far Samsung have shown zilch interest to stand up by their promises and product.

umm, i undid my LAGFIX, and downloaded the one you said to,and flashed using Clockwork now my quadrant score is like 900, am i doing it wrong?
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.

the new bionix-v rom is very quick and it isn't to far off from looking stock when you get the touchwiz version.
Do these and you can't go wrong.

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.
I'm running Trigger 2.9.2 and was wondering which kernel everyone who is also running an EDT rom is using, since I can't decide what to pick.

I rocking Trigger 2.9.2 with the latest Overstock kernel, OC'd at 1.2 ghz
Im rockin the overstock 1.5.2 thats under volted. Its been rock solid for me. If you dont care about battery life the use the OC'd version. You cant go wrong with Overstock!
lol uhm.. stock ka6 with voodoo sound 7, voodoo color, bln.
* no FPS uncap, no oc/uv, no memory hacks, no fancy splash screen or any other thing drastic *
keeping it nice, simple and clean
I'm running Bi-Winning and the latest Bullet alpha (not an official release) kernel. So amazing.
Enjoying Bullet 1.484 when I'm near a charger and Overstock 2.4.1 when I'm not (Bi-Winning). The Bullet kernels are so damn fast but so is the battery drain. Still playing with settings to see if I can stretch it out a bit. Cmenard makes amazing kernels!!
I'm just worried since I've never installed kernels, and now I want to start getting my feet wet with them and I'm taking baby steps in completely customizing my phone. If I don't like one can I just flash over or do I need to back up my current one?!

I've got about 5 saved on my sd card. Put a few different ones on your sd and try them out. If you get one you don't like boot into recovery and flash a new one. If you flashed Trigger you'll have no problem flashing kernels. It's the same process but much quicker.

I'm sure they will eventually make it to XDA, but right now there alpha kernels. Unless your feeling a little generous you probably won't find them.
hey guys, my friend just got this phone, and i wanted to set it up for her. i know custom roms usually seem to have an expiration date, before whatever memory tricks they use start to rape the phone.. so im looking for something with long term support.. actually, what im really looking for, is something that has android 2.2, is stable, rooted, and will let me use the hacked camera app (the one where the power button takes pictures, and you can use it during music, and take pics under 15%), and lastly has voodoo sound.. can anyone help point me to a rom that can do this?
thank you all so very much
also i was wondering, does anyone know what 2.2 base rom is the most stable?
ComRom 2.1. Every good tweak, voodoo away, and rock solid stable.
wth oops ,
power washed ed05 is probably by far the most stable froyo rom I have used. The problem is everything froyo based is no longer being supported. Com rom 2.1, evil fascination, pw ed05, geewiz, all are great froyo roms tho...you will have to try them out yourself and determine whats best.

Hello, I don't own a Fascinate, but is trying to do rom upgrade for a friend. Which of those you mentioned is open source rom?
And for the non froyo rom, is the GPS working as good as Froyo (as in accuracy of 10m or less)? Do you have to load new bootloader or else you get rainbow issue? In your opinion, which fascinate ROM version (Froyo or GB) is more stable?

honestly if you want open source, flash cm7.1, then flash jt's latest kernal, or glitch v13. gps is the best I have seen on this setup...you might run into a couple small bugs, but nothing I would consider a deal breaker.

NIce. I don't see his 11/3 three finger fix kernel anywhere on the OP of both of those threads. Do you know which page it is on? Search feature didn't find it.
I would suggest the PowerWashed Gingerbread. I've been running it for several months now and have had little/no trouble.

hi, playing with my phone is not really a hobby for me.. i just want something free of stock bloatware, has a working GPS, and hopefully, no Carrier IQ. So I hope you can forgive me if i'm asking a basic question that is answered somewhere in the Vibrant bible or elsewhere.
i recently flashed to CM7 because of the Carrier IQ thing.. knowing that some people were having GPS issues. If the GPS were my only problem, i could probably live with CM7, but my phone is also suffering from ' Screen of Death ' unfortunately.
I do actually really like CM7.. it is very fast.. but between the no GPS and the SOD's i'm experiencing, i need to get off of it.
so, i believe i want to go back to a Froyo ROM. From there i guess i'll try the Carrier IQ removal tool.
my question is, can i safely flash to Axura or Bionix using CWM, directly from CM7 ...or must i 'odin' back to stock first ?
thank you
Odin first
thank you very much for the reply.
so i was reading through this

strange, I'm on cm7, overclocked currently to 1500 with glitch kernel and have no GPS issues or anything. I've used axura and bionix they are cool... But I came to cm7 to use my ps3 controller with my psx roms...unfortunately no TV-out on cm7 :-(, that would make it complete.

Just a little addition. From what I understand Carrier IQ is something that the carrier has to request. To my knowledge T-Mobile did not have Samsung build it into the Vibrant's Android builds. So no Vibrant rom "should" have CIQ. I've tried the majority of our roms and have never seen it. So I wouldn't worry too much about it; on the Vibrant at least.
The glitch kernel can be acquired through a $5 app on the market named (glitch)...note if you clock it to 1700 mhz....your phone will probably go into an infinite reboot loop.....um...merrr just got the news of cm bailing on us....oh well

interesting.. i downloaded the app that detects carrierIQ and i thought i interpreted the results correctly.. i believed my vibrant running Axura had it. perhaps i misunderstood the results of the test.
