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.

You should use Titanium Backup for your apps.. but you have to do backup before you flash and then recover after flashing..
So im runnin nero v3 wit voodoo now. I like it. A lil better wit the batt and everything but not much. How else can I enhance everyrhing and make it better?

I'm currently using the latest Sombionix Rom and I want to check out some others. Can u guys point me in the right direction please... Thank u!!!

All of them lol cm7 , trigger, bionix, and bi winning with bullllllllllet .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I started with Bionix but I just recently flashed Trigger. Trigger is pretty rad.
Same here. Ran several versions of Bionix, got bit by the flashing bug and switched to Trigger. Been running the Overstock kernel for a while but am about to try out Bali.
Let me answer your question with a question:
Which make of car is the best?
If this thread stays serious long enough you will find, like most "Which is the best (insert any tangible object here)?" threads, every ROM will get a few hits.
/sarcasm off
On a serious note I have gone between Eugene's ROMs, Sombionix's ROMs and a few of EDT's ROMs. They all have their perks and for some they all have their short comings. If you want the custom ROM feel with a relatively painless installation, go with the one of the above. If you want something a little more custom go with MiUi or CM7 or a few of the other projects.
I personally use Trigger 2.9.4 with OverStock 2.x and enjoy it quite a lot. In the past I've enjoyed Eugene's MacNut series, nearly all of Som's 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs and EDT's Flagship and Trigger.
tl;dr
Pick one yourself and see how it goes, restoring from a backup isn't all that difficult.

The devs in this forum are so amazing, and their ROMs of such quality, that you owe it to yourself to try them all to find out which you like the most.
well since its already been said like 5 times, I'm just going to agree that I put on trigger 3 rom a few weeks ago and have been running overstock kernel for a while before that. but the 2 together. un-freaking believably awesome.
I repeat.. *ehem*
UN-FREAKING BELIEVABLY AWESOME

No doubt.
If you needed gps there is new I've out I can't remember name but it says jvp on title
Miui made me love my phone again.
simply honey 3.6... that rom is the smoothedt of all in all ways.. browser is as smooth as iphone 4 and is fully capable of playing back 720p flash videos because its a hardware accelerated rom.. also you can downgrade without using odin but by just simply using sgs kernel flasher....
Blitzkreig with working gps. Awesone.

I Love Cyanogen, however i have not used it on the Vibrant due to the glitches its seems to still have.. Simply Honey 3.6 is very smooth and will be updated Sunday to 3.8 with the new GPS fix and alot of other option that will supposedly make it even better.. Right now i have Bltzkrieg running on my Phone right now and its to nice, especially with the GPS fix kernel.. but it is probably the least polished of the 3..
I liked simply honey, Liked cm7, LOVING the Blitzkreig with the working GPS...

Me as well. There are a couple things that need to be ironed out, but I'm sure in no time they'll be good. If your looking for something a little prettier then go with Simply Honey.

No idea since it hasn't been released yet.. it will be based on 2.3.4 and However Blitzkrieg is also based on 2.3.4 and i get awesome battery life..
MIUI us is pure sex.
Flashed MIUI a few days ago and it is just amazing, I can't see myself going back to any other ROM. Don't know if it's device specific, but my GPS has always worked.
miui is amazing. just gotta work out the bandbase issue and ill be unstoppable
I've tried CM 7... looks awesome but I got problems with adding account, it cant retrieve something of the account!! now I have no market no gmail...nothing! I tried reflash and odin to stock then back to CM....didnt work
MIUI...sorry but its a freak copy of the Iphone... dislike
Now Im gonna try the simple honey...let's see....
I say try Blietzkrieg, it has a working GPS. Not themed or polished as others, but it's a VERY good Rom for 2.3
I've rocked it once, but I had to revert back to Trigger/NextGen because of issues with some apps I need for my work. But once it stables, I'll hop on that like a cop having a bag of donuts!!!

I'm looking forward to the cm7 Rom. Just wondering how there are so many other Roms already released how come the Cyanogen Rom is proving to be so difficult?
I'm not mocking the hacksung guys, I know they are doing a lot of good work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Because the CM build will be very different from the stock samsung ROMS.
A lot of the ROMS available right now are very similar to stock with only a few minor tweaks.
Thats the short and simple answer.
I was thinking that I was just curious.
Hopefully it'll be out soon enough

that depends on the user. seems to be between villain(which comes with villain tweaks), cognitive and litening and a cpl of others that I dont remember offhand..
Then theres the never ending supply of 'Roms' that are basically just themes, with the odd tweak that some other dev created.
I didnt mention cm7 purely because its not released yet.
I'm using Listening at the minute with the tw launcher.
Found adw a bit clunky and I like the Sammy calander widget.
Is the cognition Rom a wipe and flash or can I use odin?

Hi all, I just got my Galaxy Tab a few days ago (7510) and as much as I love Samsung devices, I simply hate their software. Just as Ive done with every smartphone Ive ever owned, I immediately started searched for as close to stock as I could get.
So I found the NoName vanilla rom, which I love by the way, its pretty much pure Honeycomb as far as I can tell, only the Browser.apk it comes with does not have a Labs section in the settings, and the Chrome bookmarks sync does not work; Google Browser doesnt show up underneath Accounts and Sync.
Ive tried pushing other Browser.apks from other ROMs, and they just dont seem to work. If anyone has an answer for me, Id really appreciate it! I cant live without those thumb controls or my chrome bookmarks!
Flash tasks 3.2 ROM. That's all you need to know.

1. have you tried the Extreme Stock Experience ROM? (i havent but i know it exists)
2. GalaxyTask 6.1 + b00sted's ICS/Jetstream theme is the best experience you will get on your tab... its debloated and has HW acceleration enabled... its the smoothest and fastest... at least give it a try before you shoot it down just because of TW... its more like TaskWiz if you think about it
The custom ROMs that are created on this forum are nothing like what Samsung gives you.
I think the browser of otyer roms dont work directly because of framework changes... Im not sure abt it im not a dev but thats what i know

I too hate Touch Wiz and I've never kept it on my Tab for long because of issues with lag. I've used every stock Honeycomb 3.1 ROM.
I got a GSII Skyrocket and Touch Wiz sorta grew on me, so when the update to 3.2 came around, I decided to try Task's new ROM because In Paris was the best Touch Wiz ROM I had ever experienced.
With Task's latest (v6.1) 3.2 ROM and b00sted's latest (v2.4) ICS theme, I am absolutely blown away.
NO lag, at all. Ever. Period.
Its awesome with the ICS theme and its very refined.
Just try it, you're only a restore away from whatever you're currently running, so there's nothing to lose!

Yeah just wait around doing nothing when you could be on task's rom in a matter of minutes and thinking why the hell did I not do this sooner.
you guys exaggerate too much about the way you hate touchwiz
Thanks for all the snarky responses, when my question was a simple one. I've tried Task, not for me. And yes, I realize that it is an undetermined time, Ive had the i9000 since launch so god knows I know what waiting for a Cyanogenmod release is like.
