So many 2.2.1!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Man there are so many 2.2.1 ports! So I was wondering, which 2.2.1 Rom is the best out if the ones you tried? And why are you on the one you are on now?
Thanks!

Bi-Winning. Fastest and most stable rom I've tried.

Thanks for your answer! Anyone else?

I tried the latest 'AOSP' Gingerclone, it was pretty snappy. Although, I'm not a fond of 2.2.1 ports, it was ohkay. I prefer Bionix-V 1.2.1 (Modified to my liking.) or CM7.

I realize that most of these rom threads are very long. But when I am looking, I always read through them and usually don't download them until they've been up at least a couple of days. I take into consideration what others have to say but even more then that I look to see how often the developer responds to questions and problems.
Now that I've tried a few EDT roms I find myself downloading there beta roms 5 minutes after they've uploaded them. Not to take anything away from any other developers but just take a look around XDA, there's always at least one of their team members on here helping someone with something. They are very devoted to making this a better phone and not just for themselves.
So to answer your question Bi-Winning is my rom of choice for 2.2.1.

Bi Winning Beta 3

Bi Winning or JPJPM. I've tried both and they're equally great but I opted for the letter since it has full Arabic support.

Hey Bi-winning fans! He's uploading Bi-Winning V1 as we speak!

Most favored rom??

Which rom seems to be most favored here and with the least amount of quirks and hiccups?
I've tried axura and now im on nerov3.
And id have to say im liking the nerov3 best due to its similar to the stock in feel but the only quirk I've found, that to me is a biggy is a problem with trying to get paid apps..(SOLVED)..I keep getting server error window when trying to buy an app
So id like to know what other peoples opinions are about the different roms that are here and available to us thanks to the awesome developers that work so hard to give us the best!!!

Nero 3 seems to be the best so far but I never have any issues buying apparently from the market. Did you already try deleting the market data to see if it helps?

Definitely Nero v3 but I loved the betas too

Nero, axura, gingerclone
Nero V3 hands down! Soon to be V4!

Nero V3, it is a superb rom! @ OP, use the SGS tools app to clear your market cache, Hopefully will clear up your issue.
Nero 3
Gingerclone R2 has some issues
Nero 3 is the best for battery as well since it uses the black status bar. Which saves even more battery on super amoled displays.

Best Stock Experience

What is the best stock rom you guys have used? Im using Eugene's Gingerclone 2.2 ROM and like it a lot. But I'm just curious what's you guys think is the best.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
What do you mean by stock? Ginger clone is not stock.
I know. That's why I'm inquiring peoples opinions about their pros and cons of the roms they've had experience with.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I dont think anyones stock experience has been all too great tbh, i.e. lag and no gps. I like the feel of nero roms the best, but ive had better gps and battery life with axura. I havent tried any other roms than those 2, I keep toggling them as they come out
Even this Gingerclone is starting to lag. I would like something with no frills or extras. Just a stock rom, like what you see on the Nexus line. No UI, nothing to slow it down.

If only CyanogenMod supported our devices...

Get gingerclone, its the best and closest to stock froyo besides unofficial one.
Use a lagfix, don't do any more "rooting" "flashing" etc. then it'll be like ur on stock.
Try Nero

Eh nothing you will really notice. Don't expect a feature filled update.

Bionix-V is the older more stable version and the Bionix Frost is the newer, in Beta testing development version.
Another difference is that Bionix-V is based on the software that Samsung put on the Vibrant, while Frost is based on the software that is on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Since the base for Frost was originally made for a different phone, more effort is required to make it work on the Vibrant.

If you want a ROM for the phone that you use daily for real work, go with Bionix-V

Not disagreeing persay but Frost is just as stable. Only issue I've had is a slight menu lag.

I know its semi-counter productive...
But this has to be the 3rd+ post this past weekend regarding Bionix/Frost/2.2/2.2.1
and "whats the difference"
I'm sorry but the only way for be to access xda is by the app ans the search function on the apologize is $hit. If it wasn't I wouldn't have posted 3/4 of what I have. But on last question, what's the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1

I personally like Bionix V. Been using Team Whiskey roms for a while now and they have yet to disappoint. In the end, its just a matter of preference.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Bionix-V seems to have very few bugs. The bugs people are reporting, most users cannot duplicate their problems. Frost, well it still needs some tweaking before it's ready as a "daily driver" as stable/fast as Bionix 1.3
i've tried both. after enabling voodoo on the latest frost, i've noticed a considerable difference from the initial build. bionix is ULTRA stable. there is no doubt that it is the more stable of the two. however, IMHO i haven't noticed a huge difference between the speed or usability of either...if you would rather deal with less "potential" bugs, then i would suggest you go with Bionix V.

What's the best ROM out right now???

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

Best rom and kernel combo?

Hey went from a vibrant to sgs 4g so I don't keep up anymore and just checked out the fourms again and saw the huge variety of roms and stuff was just wondering what's the best up to date/stable combo there is right now

depends on what you are looking for, whether you are on clockwork, cyno, etc...
Do you mean clockworkmod? What's cyno? I am currently using clockworkmod

I can't wait til MIUI has working GPS ... I had it on for a couple weeks and loved it more than any rom out there. Kernel - meh.
Try Revolution Rom RC1.1, it is really stable, it is GB 2.3.4, GPS works, and the kernel is bullet by cmenard.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
none of these roms are really gonna work well on the sgs4g, that said i know krylon mentioned a way to port vibrant roms to the sgs4g i believe there should be a thread in the sgs4g section
