I have been playing with a bunch of different ROMs to see what I like best. Right now i have settled on Vegan 5.1.1. Is there any reason to load anyone else's kernel on top of vegan? Vegan is doing everything I expect it to so I am pretty set, but always looking to improve if possible.
I would say experiment if you know what you're doing (how to flash, understand the risks, etc.)
If you don't like the changes, it's as simple as re flashing your current rom to go back to that kernel that's built in.
Clemsyns new kernel is best for VEGAn beta 5.1.1. It fixes sleep death issues and has other speed and stability tweeks. Trust me on this. I stayed stock kernel for a long time but about a week ago clemsyn spent 3 days constantly testing and upgrading his kernel. Its great and really kicks net performance up a notch.
Hope that helps
I'm pretty sure that Vegan 5.1 actually includes one of Pershoot's kernels.
It may be a somewhat older one though.
I would recommend a custom kernel. Performance increases and CIFS support alone makes it worth the time and effort to add one.
I don't add them to TNT Lite, to keep it within the "mostly stock" spirit. But I link to two custom kernels because I think they are worth trying.

vegan 5.1 uses an old kernel build by rothnic.
vegantab (gingerbread), which is based off of cm7, uses an old kernel by myself.
Has anyone found a good kernal for the vegan gingerbread beta? I was looking for a clemsyn kernal but it doesn't seem like a good one is releaded yet.

vegan gingerbread beta comes with an older kernel build done by myself.
if you wish to upgrade that kernel to the latest revision (2.6.32.36) which includes some other refinements/amendments which have been made since then:

Can you please provide the link of this kernel that works great with VEGAn beta 5.1.1.

It's in developmen. Look for clemsyn's kernel tthread. V7 is the best. You will notice a bbbig difference in fluidity of device and speed.
Are the custom kernels only for custom ROMs or do they work for stock as well?

Hello everyone i am new to this fourm and just rooted my phone and i just wanted to ask a quick question of what is currently the smoothest rom?
I am also interested in some information about this.. I'm currently running the newest Villain, and it's annoyingly slow, though I don't know if this is Villain specific or what.

Yeah the Modaco ROM's are generally considered to be one of the most stable and smoothest around,... It was the first ROM I tried on mine 2 weeks ago, haven't felt the need to change. Now just waiting on Modaco 4.0 which will be released when there is an official 2.1 release for him to work his magic on. Definitely give it a try. But I also recommend you try some others. Its pretty simple to swap and change ROM's once you have installed the custom recovery console, only extreme laziness has kept me from giving others a try.

FOR SPEED, STABLE-NESS AND BEAUTY USE SENSEHERO ROM
its base on MCR(ModaCoRom) 3.1 or 3.2 not so sure but it's base on ModaCo which is for speed and stable-ness
and for beauty he used manup's SenseHero Theme..
worth a try..
MrBangCR concept Rom 2.0 (i think)
Fast, smooth, great performance. He used modaco as a base but made some important changes for performance
ok so i've went through the threads here and pretty much got a handle on what's what but some are little outdated. though since i'm new, i've already applied the ED01 froyo OTA update from stock as soon as i opened it up and a lot of the stuff here are applied to older firmwares. so first things first, i tried to root using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790004 using the fascinateRootv02 but no go. i hear you can use superoneclick but looking at the superonelick thread, samsung fascinate is not supported? so if someone can point me to the right direction, i would appreciate it.
so with that said, i know there are a lot of roms available. i want to just stick to one that works well and avoid much as possible in keep changing roms. so what is the most popular roms out of the bunch?
thanks!

You are correct. You can just odin a CWR of your choice and then flash a ROM with the Super User package already in place and kaboom rooted
Superonelick (version...let me look here.....ugh... version 1.8) is fascinate compatible and I myself have used it before.
cheers.
** Edit **
To answer you question OP, the most popular ROM is Ultimatekangbang (Community ROM v1.x), Evil Fascination, and CyanogenMod 7 (Koas or CM7 by JT **Gingerbread**)
Quick break down
Kangbang (Comm)
-Community developed and updated frequently
-Most popular
-Comes with an overclockable/undervoltable kernel (up to 1.6ghz)
Evil Fascination
-2nd only to Kangbang
-Great ROM very clean
-No kernel (since I last checked could be wrong)
- Just use one of the PBJ kernels that are under volted for better battery life
-beta testing the LG android launcher
CM7
-Gingerbread (2.3)
-Camera, MMS, and BT do not function until a 2.3 official leak is obtained
-Smooth and completely open source
-heavily customizable
I use Kangbang 1.3 with the 100uv PBJ kernel and I see no crashes or force closing issues alongside 25 to 30 hours of battery life under normal use.

thanks for the info! hmm so you don't have to root to use odin? cool, i'll try this.
would voodoo work with kangbang? just saying because it seems like voodoo is the most popular kernel here. how different is 100uv PBJ then with voodoo? is there a there a one stop shop thread on info of which kernel does what?

odin a pre rooted rom... found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
again i say welcome and enjoy ur amazing new phone.. i prefeer community rom
maybe you have used many ROM for your i9100,please poll your favourite,and tell us your use report about rom.THANKS
the following is the history of my use about rom：
lite'ning 3.0---CM7 nightly 1-15---villainROM 2.4---Leomar75 2.4 and 2.5 ---cognition s2 1.4,1.4.2 ---sensatioN 1.2,1.3--MIUI1.8.12--Lite‘ning 6.0 xxkh1
i think no best rom,there are only some ROM that fit you~
stock rom.. im going to try MIUI rom and CM7 rom, once they get a little more finished, till then Villain rom is basically a stock rom, that comes prerooted
Rigth now villain but i think im keen to try cognition s2 as it seems to be pretty popular looking at your voting chart.
THANKS~~and you could try cognition 1.4.0 and 1.4.2
cognition 1.4.0 kernel ninphetamine 2.0.5
cognition 1.4.2 kernel speedmod k1-t22
beacuse first time cognition adopt speedmod kernel~when i using 1.4.2,i could feel some unstable~
so i recommend you could try cognition 1.4.0 and sensatioN 1.3
they are battery friendly
Revolution for me.
Was on stock for a long time, also tried Cognition and Villain for lengthy periods. Stability is important for me, so no CM7. Had nothing but bad experiences with MIUI, won't go near it again.
Stuck with Revolution because it was the first ROM without a laggy stock browser in KG6 (don't want a 3rd party browser), supports a monochrome theme bugfree, love the OTA kitchen and updates, and Leo is a great dev.
Liked Cognition and Villain too - two great devs - but found my keeper
Which rom ???? xx rom version 1 may be good version 2 may be better and version 3 may be worse .
This is not a vote on a rom just a vote on a roms name .
jje
Lite'ning, Batista70, Criskelo, Villain, Miui, Cognition, CM7, Leomar, tried all with differents Kernell. Some serve better than others, Criskelo stayed longer. Now back to Lite'ning KH1-Speedmod-T22, fast and batery friendly.
I tried: CM7 nightly 20, MIUI, VillainRom, and Revolution so far. I voted revolution as it seems to be the most stable one for now.
prefer batista 3.5..super smooth
You want an option for 'no real preference'. I'm running villain but not through having done any comparisons or investigations. The kernel is the only interesting variable for me, not the ROM (other than making sure it is reasonably up-to-date)
yes~but i can't list all roms and all versions

What monochrome theme you using with Revolution, NitrozK's?
I'm with you on the monochrome mate...
no best,right~i like batista70
Cognition all the way - stock looking but amazing speed, clean, and bugless!!
Please add GingerMOD. I'm using this rom right now and it's the best of both worlds, aosp looks with the best of stock Samsung firmware. (ie. Camera, FM Radio, etc.)

Currently on Leo's modified Sikashi theme from his kitchen - it's excellent.
Haven't tried nitrozk's theme on Revolution yet - found it a bit buggy on Cognition, it's been updated many times since but work has now ceased.
Assuming that it won't work on forthcoming KH3, so no reason to change for me.
Baffled at the lurv for greens/blues/God-knows-what..

Have to say im surprised people are saying CM7, usually it most likely would come out on top if stable but it's far from stable at present and that's the reason i haven't flashed it, i want a stable build on my phone with everything working, Lite'ing ROM was the first i had a good it was but ive stuck with Cognition now for a while.

What do you mean not stable? i'm using it since build 16 and never had a fc or a random reboot, everythings i use works nicely apart for bt audio. The rom itself is smooth and clean

I don't understand how people are saying that CM7 is unstable, have you guys actually tried it? What problems have you had?
I've used it since version 12 and never had a problem with FC or rebooting. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't have bluetooth audio, but I knew that going in and I know it's high on the priority list for development.
Currently looking for a ROM with bluetooth to fill the gap until it's done though, as it's killing me not having the bluetooth for my car. But when that functionality is there, I'll be straight back.
I am trying to figure out which of the Entropy's Daily Driver's is the best non-buggy to use or...
suggest a different kernel, I really don't feel like flashing 10-15-20 kernels to find the one that is most stable and most reliable with the goodies required
Depends on which firmware you're on...
Stock based Gingerbread I suggest the latest 3/7 DD from his thread... or Siyah kernel
Stock CM7 Kernel for CM7 (as it already comes with all his additions) ...or Siyah kernel
His ICS kernel is only for certain i9100 roms...
and the CM9/AOKP stock kernel should be used if using CM9/AOKP according to the big man himself. (again, him and the CM9 team share code...) (there's also a kernel by Fenny for ICS roms being released soon) ALSO- Siyah Kernel will be updated in short order for ICS/CM9/AOKP...
But definitely the latest daily driver or Siyah kernel if you're using Gingerbread (and soon ICS)...
Entropy and Siyah used to be very different... but most features match these days in the gingerbread versions- as I'm sure they will in the ICS versions.
And if you're running CM9 or AOKP, use the kernel they come with to avoid malfunctions.

Read the DD thread and make your own judgement - but you're still going to end up trying 3 or 4 minimum if you really want to get the "best non-buggy" for your use. Results varied across the board for everyone who tried the different versions. And 15 minutes of your time reading would probably cross 80% of them off your list of ones to try.
Stuff after 12/8 seemed to not play well with AT&T's broken bases (UC anything).
If you're on a base that doesn't suck - go for the latest on GB.

I'm new to the Fascinate, I had an HTC Incredible 2 and I was heavily involved in their community before it died. I found a Fascinate for cheap and I'm currently looking for few things for it.
First I'm running Slim Bean for it and the Wi-Fi is horribly slow. Is there a firmware update for it or anything? When I got it, it still had 2.3.5 stock on it.
Secondly whats the best recovery to use for it? I'm currently running CWM Voodoo LagFix Recovery v3.0.2.8x.ti. Sadly for some reason I can't create Nandroids with it.
Thirdly I'm looking for a good stable Kernel that supports OC'ing on Jelly Bean ROM's.

Actually I followed the first tutorial I found for rooting a Fassy running on GB. When I installed Slim Bean I guess it install a CWMR Touch v6.0.3.0 so I guess that's better. Coming from HTC phones this is alot different, it seems we had far more options when it came to recovery systems. Also Overclocking was built into most of our ROM's, I had my DINC2 running at 1.5ghz.
Currently the only problem I see, is that the Fassy is far slower than my INC ever was, so hopefully that Devil Kernel will speed it up. Also still having problems with slow Wi-Fi speeds. Data seems to work fine though.

Whooo, close one, thought you flashed that cwm after flashing slim...
at the moment devil recovery is the only one that offers more [better] governor & i/o plus overclocking choices
twrp is nice but no one has yet to build one with more than the 1200 OC and std governor & i/o settings
My Personal Favorite Devil settings are
100 - Min
1300 - Max
Lulzactive - Governor
Zen - I/O Scheduler
and SD read ahead 1024
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
on the wi-fi speeds look at Section 7: Radio/Modems
my daily driver setup has [ED05] which gives me a really good overall blend of wifi/3g performance,
my next choice was the [EC09]
third is the std [EH03] - worst 3g performance for me at my work...
