ok, so how do i get to look like froyo?
-Get a custom rom
or
-Root then change some framework res in the files
or
-WidgetLocker app
but wasnt that suppose to come with the update?
I'm pretty sure TouchWiz is a T-Mobile theme basically, that's why you need a custom ROM to get the real Froyo look.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Surprised they don't have stock lock screen, my galaxy tab has the stock froyo lock screen but came with tw home

No, you need to root....simplest way:
Google z4root, put it on your phone and run it.
Then flash ClockWork Recovery
Download KA7 deodexed, install
does this rom hav any bugs or issues?

Probably, but it is the leak straight from Samsung, just deodexed, nothing else.

Probably better than KA6 though. Consider KA6 2.2 and KA7 2.2.0.1 or 2.2.1, some things are probably better than the stock KA6

Just curious with all the options that are available, Which ROM is on your Vibrant and why do you like it?
Stock JK2 because there is no "give and take" and I can customize it to my liking.

Put this in q/a right now
Onyx V3 -- mostly because the install instructions were super easy and I really like the black theme. don't like touchwhiz, so I sided with Onyx over Obsidian
I prefer Bionix for 2.1 ROM, and been using McNut for the 2.2 ROM...
But after trying Masters Axura 2.0.2 I found my new favorite! I love the look and feel of it.
I now run Axura 2.0.2 with eugenes kernel#802 and Ryanza's one click lag fix and ive never been happy with my phone. 2000+ quadrant benchmarks and 17mflops. You should give it a try.
My Custom ROM is...
AOSPISH_JK2_v1.1
Love this ROM! It's clean, fast, and everything works without a single problem.
w00t
I use a rom called the general section made by xda, you should try it.
I guess this is in the wrong place. to those of you that answered thanks. to anyone else, how do I move this to the correct location? Didn't mean to break the rules, just trying to learn from this great community.

if you're going to do a thread like this why not make it a poll?
the best rom i use
Axura 2.0.3 the best rom for my vibrant ever 100 plus
Great idea! seeing that this is my 1st thread, this is what I came up with. but I love the idea of a poll, maybe I'll try that in the right location. thanks.
I prefer ROMs with better battery life. Now it's Obsidian V3 - 0.2-0.4% per hour in sleep.
Thanks Lorendoll Battery life is important to me too
Currently using obsidian v4 (Snagged it before it was taken down. Works great for me, but will probably reflash when it goes back up.)
I use ADW Launcher because I hate tw, but I find i'm addicted to some of the samsung apps that won't run on onyx.

Bionix Final here as it has fantastic battery life. Tried a couple 2.2 ROMS and the battery life on them were pathetic.
Staying with Final until a 2.2 rom with acceptable (IE: more than a day) battery life comes along.

Sorry if this is a duplicate, search has failed me.
I'm looking to flash as close to AOSP foyo on my vibrant as I can get.
Most importantly I really want AOSP Contact/Dialer
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I know how to use CWMOD, and ODIN so any kind of rom will be fine.
Thank you in advance.
The closest thing your gonna get is vibrant aosp ish 1.1 jk11 I would link you but I can't right now (on xda app) its should be on second or third page in dev section

So im looking at the screen in SGS tools and im curious as to what certain things are. Just a quick question. Under upgrade stock apps, the Upgrade TW Launcher... is that the colored/see through tw launcher from obsidian?
why dont you try it?
theres a restore_twlauncher in the restore thing i think and you can do that if anything happens, so make sure theres another launcher in case this doesn't work.

Hello everyone! I have something new for you all to play with. I bring to you Touchwiz 4.0 for KB5 froyo! This is a port of fr4gg0r's modded version with customizable options from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Flash zip at bottom through recovery like normal. Reboot will take about 5 minutes as this wipes the dalvik-cache. Anyways... enjoy!
Oh, and edits had to be made to the framework.jar for the launcher to work. Framework.jar still supports power menu so there is nothing to worry about as far as breaking other mods.

it means for everyone with a modded power menu, it wont change it.
like if you have a custom rom and hold the power button it has more options like "reboot", "download", etc.
so are we flashing this thru CWM or any other recovery?
EDIT: Oh wow I missed that line in the OP. haha my bad.
After flashing will you be able to switch back to a different launcher if you don't like it? Say using home switcher?
Trigger 3.2
of course you will

I considered rooting and flashing to a Gingerbread ROM but apparently there are problems with battery life. Battery life is important to me so I will not be going for a Gingerbread ROM.
Which Froyo ROM offers the stock experience? No customization or modifications, just pure stock Google Froyo. I want to make my phone snappier and to get rid of TouchWiz.
Are there bugs with these Froyo ROMs?
None of them. If you want a raw android experience, flash CM7.
We don't have a Google stock Froyo. You only have 2 choices, choose a TW rom or a CM rom.
Try to wait for this weekend we MIGHT have a gingerbread leak according to samfirmware.

Gingerclone is as close to aosp as you can get while still being on 2.2
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Trigger 3.2 or 3.3 beta is the best of the 2.2 ROMs in my opinion, also if you want to go to 2.2.1, Bi-winning V3 is the other recommendation. Both will give you complete and accurate functionality of the phone, in other words everything works just right. Go to Gingerbread or CM7 and while they are nice roms you loose functionality of certain features due to the lack of drivers (gps, accelerometer are the main features you loose).
cm7 is good when it comes to stock 2.3 gingerbread experience bionix 1.3.1 tried to minic it with the themes but its not stock like cm7 is. i was on cm7 now im on the bionix 1.3.1
