So I recently flashed bionix v and hate the fact I have 5 screens so I always download Zeam to correct that. However after a couple days with Zeam I decided to download a theme and hate it. It slowed down my phone and the antenna/reception became bad. It changed my H back to 3G etc. Minor annoyances but enough to hate the theme. Anyway the only way to remove the theme is to reflash the rom. So now that KB1 is on Axura I considered it but last time I flashed it, it drained my battery where as Nero3 didn't.
So what is your opinion should I flash Bionix V again or venture on to Axura KB1 or something new?
Thanks for the help
Respectfully,

I just flashed M.Flahship.V4 with KB1 and am really really pleased. Very solid and snappy Rom. I 'm really impressed with the Einherjar Dev Team.

I have run both Axura and Bionix and both seem to be great roms. Axura does have Zeam build right in to the rom. So if you like that launcher it will save you a step but the battery seems really good on both. Bionix will also need you to flash KB1 after but that really is not that hard to do.
While auxura has multiple launchers built in im sure trying to satisfy the masses, it is because of that that the rom seems heavy. I have used both auxura and bionix, and would have to say that they are both great and responsive, but bionix has a lighter cleaner feel to it.
In short flash bionix, instal zeam, wait patiently for the next version of bionix to drop,,,,, soon Im thinking

So, if I live in Northern California, do I need to flash the kb1 modem?
bionix v...TW working on something good and new so just hang tight!
Here in Utah I have had pretty good luck with KA5 for phone calls but I did not like the gps much with it. I Have been using KB1 for about 3 days. The data does not seem as fast to me but the gps is way better than the others that I have tried.
I would say find a rom that you like. Then you can just flash the modem that you like. Here is a link to every modem we have an option of right now. You do not need to change your rom just for the modem.

Try both and see which one you prefer.
I like Fusion since it has almost gotten rid off the touchwiz crap.
right now i am running this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773018
it is a great ROM, and it flies. i do not have any lag fix installed and i have absolutely no lag at all. and touchwiz is completely removed
I was loving Bionix 1.9 but I Odin-ed back to Stock JI6 because I think Froyo is coming out soon. It was released internationally last week and the Captivate already has it.
I am sure Fusion is very nice but I got sick of flashing new ROMS every other day. Just my 2 cents.

this is my first ROM and i am running Bionix 1.9.1 for a few days now. stable so far, works as advertised. i am running bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO and i have also installed SetCPU. if you decide to go with it please make sure you take a look at this before you do anything: https://sites.google.com/site/projec...allation-guide. if you follow the guide you should have no probs.
i have noticed battery life improvement after installing 1.9.1 and reconditioning battery, it has been unplugged since about 7:30am and after 3 calls one lasting 40mins while on blue tooth and constant work e-mails i am sitting at 63% at the time of writing this. so in 8 hours i have dropped 37% its a big improvement from before.
just my experience

It really comes down to preference. Is there a speed difference from 1.9.1 to Fusion 1.0? Most users think that Fusion is faster, but I came from 1.8 so I can't comment on it. Fusion is awesome. If you don't mind TWiz than go with 1.9.1, however, if you're like me and can't stand TWiz, go with Fusion 1.0. It is amazing.

You will likely be waiting for awhile. Froyo hasn't even been mentioned for the Vibrant yet. The Source code was released for 2.2 but that is a far cry from a working fully functional ROM. You do realize you don't have to keep flashing the most current ROM they release right?

Yeah I was going Flash crazy and I must admit it is addictive LOL. Anyway, every Bionic ROM was slightly different, for example one had JI2 modem for better battery and the next one had JI6 for better data. I had to see for myself which one was best for me. Eventually I decided to go back to stock with the latest official JI6 OTA update to receive the Froyo OTA .

Hey there, don't get your panties in a bunch.. That ROM actually didn't fully remove touchwiz like you claim. There are some things that are still touchwiz there like twframework-res
But if your choice is Fusion or Bionix.. go with fusion
I've tried both... Go with Fusion if you don't use the TW launcher. If you are unsure about LP, its very cool.
I am running 1. 9 and I love it so far but I do miss cm5 on my mytouch slide :-( I hope it does work out for cm6 on the vibrant.

^ Eugene makes a very solid ROM and is usually slightly ahead of the other DEV's here. (I.E.- He has released (I believe) 3 builds of Froyo so far) where most other DEV's are just getting started on Froyo. Most DEV's use Eugene's work as a base for their own ROM's. I started with Eugene's ROM and have since moved to Bionix out of sheer personal preference. I like the look and feel of the Bionix ROM's more than I like Eugene's.
That being said, when he gets the GPS fixed on his most recent Froyo ROM, I may just have to flash it up to see how I like it
I think he got gps working on his newest 2.2 rom. I could be wrong though. I'm going to give that a run tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I haven't tried either yet - still in OCD research phase before trying anything new and scary like a custom ROM ...
That said, I'm leaning toward Bionix. I understand the difference between the two is effectively whether you prefer Touchwiz and LauncherPro. They're both otherwise on relatively equal footing.
I've tried LP with homeswitcher and honestly it's nifty but it's niftiness couldn't outweight my familiarity with Touchwiz. This vibrant is my first android phone so that probably speaks volumes as to why I had no previous conceptions of what the UI ought to behave like...
I'd suggest to the OP to also just try out LP with homeswitcher prior to flashing a ROM and you can easily see for yourself which format tickles your pickle more.

eugenes ginger clone final imo is the BEST!!!...it is super fast and smooth and looks reallly nice....battery life is alright...ive been off for 7 hours, watched about 30 minutes of youtube...10 minutes of calls...browsing xda for about an hour, and watched a movie (despicable me in 720p) and I am still at 58%....
before I installed this, I did a full system wipe by flashing eugenes unbrickable froyo, then flashing stock jfd, and then flashing the ginger clone rom...
I am using Axura 2.1 as well but w/ the Black Froyo theme / mod and new Market. Haven't seen anything newer that is worth switching to myself. I apologize to anyone who thinks that sounds crazy.

To others wondering the same, right now there are 3-4 roms most people WILL recommend:
Axura, Macnut, Nero*beta*,Ginger Clone.
I've tried all of them,
If you want good looks, and really good battery life, personally, i got more with Axura and Nero.
If you want just good looks and performance, all of them are good for that.
Try them all out see how it goes.
I am new to all this. I have rooted my phone and read on here what some1 said wuz the vibrant bible. Now I want to flash but I am not sure what would be best for me.

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.

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.

Axura is more "themed", and Nero is more "GB-ish"?
Otherwise, both have great performance/battery life etc etc.

nero v4 is there any bad bugs and does it have voodoo, and is touchwiz in froyo 2.3b8? reason i ask is he likes look of my rom im not sure if it has touchwiz or not. how do i flash it from bone stock phone? thanks
Nero V4.1 was the first ROM I ever flashed on any phone (did so yesterday on my vibrant without any problems). Although I can't say much about any other customs ROMs since this is the first time I've done this. I have to say that going from stock 2.1 to Nero with voodoo, the improvement is... Hold on let me- HUGE.
So far I've re-installed all my apps along with market links, tried new ones, tested the mobile WiFi AP, installed flash, played some videos, and it has never frozen up or even lag. Also, I think it started speaking or something on the first boot.
Hey I am sporting Nero v2 since December on my Vibrant, and am looking for a reliable upgrade. Anyone recommend a fairly bug free rom that is better than Nero v2 to upgrade to? Main thing is that the phone features need to be reliable... Phone calls, and SMS/MMS work. Speed an added bonus.
Thanks much for advice.
I was maybe still a hugh fan of tw but I just started flashing a lot of roms til. Came across Trigger's rom and haven't flashed anything else.

Trigger is my first pick, and slap the Tiger Blood kernel on it. Then Axura, then TW Bionix. But that's just my opinion. BTW, you should read and post in the right place fam, people get hype for this kind of stuff...... I am a fan of the Tiger Blood kernel just because on my phone at least, it has given me the better battery life thus far.

I went from nero v5 to loki 2.4 (has been removed though) and was pleasantly impressed how well the 2.2.1 rom ran in comparison. So any of the 2.2.1 flavor roms would strongly get my vote.
