Which vibrant froyo rom is the closest to stock thanks noob
It depends on what "Stock" your looking for, if its the stock samsung than try T959 -KB1. If you want a custom rom that looks like stock than try Bionix-V-1.3.1-TouchWiz version, but if you want stock android than CyanogenMod 7 is the closest. If this is your first time using an android phone than don't use CyanogenMod 7, untill you get familiar with android and your phone.
Just want the smoothest, bug free rom, like cognition on my captivate, don't need all the bells and whistles

Than choose Bionix-V-1.3.1, It is as you say, the smoothest and stable rom out for the vibrant.

Hello, I will be getting an Aria soon and was wanting to put the froyo rom on it. My question is, is it necessary to update the kernel and the radio or should the rom work fine without doing those?

The ROM includes those both so you should have no problem by just flashing a new ROM. I personally recommend you go for the FR008 Deodexed ROM.
Thanks, that is the ROM I am going to use.
I used Sense UI for about 6 months before I got fed up with it. I have CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Liberty on my Aria with the Gingerbread theme and LauncherPro as my default launcher. Love it. So much quicker, customizable, and efficient. Battery life has improved tremendously since switching to all this.
I like the look of HTC Sense
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
So pretty much every phone I've used I've either used Faux AOSP or CM7, or another AOSP rom, but with the Galaxy Tab, I'm not too sure which ROM to go to and I don't want to flash a bunch of roms and kernels so what is THE ROM and THE Kernel to go to, like BEST OF THE BEST MOST STABLE AND BEST BATTERY LIFE
I'm sure a lot of them are good, but I want the best pick out of them all, thanks for the advice!
I use Starburst ROM and Pershoot kernel, Tab runs great. I prefer Starburst to Bonsai.
I have a few questions sorry if its a repost but id rather make sure I get a good answer to those questions then any other variant of them.
I got a galaxy s2 a week ago and I feel like the battery life is really bad and the phone heats alot sometimes.... (BTW this is my first smartphone EVER) I was wondering which one of all these custom ROMs out there is the best for the galaxy s2? Which one will give me the smoothest experience with a good battery life and fix that heating problem?
Also, I have the Canadian bell's version so MUGKG2... When I look at ROMs all I see is XXKH3 or XXKE7, etc... Basically how and what version do I have to use/install to get a custom ROM? (P.S I know how Odin works and I know how to root since my phone is already rooted)
And what is the latest Android version possible to get on the galaxy s2? I heard something about 4.0 but I think the latest version possible to install is the 2.3.4 am I right? Also, every ROM is 2.3.4 right? Or do I have to flash a 2.3.4 (or 4.0 depending on the latest version) kernel on the phone?
Thanks for your time and have a good day!!!!!!!

1. there's no exact answer to which rom or kernel gives the best batt life. u should actually test them to see which fits your preference. there are also threads here which does benchmarkings and testing out batt life. try searching for them.
2. when u install a custom rom, it will say on their thread on what baseband version they based their rom. for example, LeoMar's ROM is based on KH3, etc. the rom chooses it for you basically.
3. the latest is 2.3.4, and almost all custom ROMs are based on 2.3.4. no need to flash anything extra
Ok so do I actually have to find a XXKG2 or MUGKG2 based ROM or I can take anything? And from personal experience which one do you think is the best one?
you can actually take in anything (at least your phone's getting an updated baseband version thru the custom roms).
i'm not quite sure how the different versions of the baseband affects my phone. i don't notice any difference in performance actually.
Aight!!! Thanks man. Which one do you recommend?
you can try using the dlev2 rom version 1.2 , its indeed great and also has good battery life

cognition or litening rom can be good choices to start with.
leomar rom gives a lot of customization options because it has a kitchen app on the android market.
My recommendation is that you read some more, get comfortable before you flash anything on your device, know what you are about to get into instead of going on someone else's opinion, the questions you ask are of someone who doesn't fully understand what they are about to do.
It helps when you read a lot, you are able to think your own way through if something doesn't go exactly as planed, else you would have to come right back here to ask a million questions
you can find official firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
as a few posts above i agree what that person said..do a bit more reading before you start flashing. i can remember the time when i wanted to start flashing and rooting and when i did not back up the stock rom the first time i panicked and i did not know what to do and how to get back the stock rom...funny now but back then not so funny..
anyway research play with your stock rom for a while and then flash...for custom rom i would suggest a few...Im using BatistaRom 3.7.7 its the smoothest fastest and battery efficient rom i have used so far...even when i go and try other roms i always come back to this one. For battery as well VillainRom 2.4.2 is one heck of a custom rom and the battery life on that bad boy is wicked..
With regarding kernels again it varies...read the threads of the rom you are interested in flashing and see what people suggest on them..
good luck and be careful when rooting and flashing. any help you need throw me a PM..
Yeah, there are like tons of ROMs and customizations for SGS2 and all major developers are cooking something or the other for our GS2...
Selection of ROM depends only on taste. Some people wants battery life, some people wants only speed and performance. So ask yourself, what kinda ROM you need. One built from scratch, one modded from stock, AOSP?
I use GingerMod Vanilla 0.4. Suits my taste
Hi Hero owners
I don't own this phone but have a friend who does and it runs on Android 2.1. It's desparately in need of a new rom, everything lags and is unbearably slow. So I want to update it to 2.3 and am in need of a clean, stabe 2.3 Rom with Sense.
Can anyone please recommend a good one? There are just too many for me to figure out which one does the trick... She doesn't need any fancy experimental features, just a fast and stable rom.
Thank you!

You can use SalsaSense for now but it's fairly slow, or you can wait 2-3 days since im going to release an awsome 2.3 ROM with sense
