Hey guys im wondering for the one's who have tried bionix v the old version and the new one, can you give your feedback about it???
in my opinion i dont see a great change of it. and i even think that the old version works better i dont know how about you guys???
Had bionix-v and flashed 1.2 yesterday night. So far I don't see anything different. For that matter, I haven't seen any real changes since Nero 5 which I thought was a great ROM. I just flash the newest because - well - because I can.

Lol yeah me too!! but the Nero rom is the one called nero-5-voodoo??? i have that zip file and never use it.
For me just having the Percent of batterly life number bigger was worth the 2min. it took to flash.
There was no real cosmetic changes just some "behind the scene" changes. Getting geared up for 2.2.1 i guess. I like the no wipe option now although I still wiped.
Only difference I see so far is my GPS isn't nearly as good. Before I start a "GPS sucks" war I am going to re-flash and test again. I want to do a few battery cycles before I flash to see about battery life as well.
If you are a cosmetics type flasher I would just stick with V. If you are an avid updater and ROM whore such as myself then flash away.

I hear you!! lol im just testing each rom out to see what's best for me but i want to know hows everyone else doing with them also.
the old bionix rom has excellent battery life. I use a combination of bionix v1 with the kb1 modem. Standby battery is amazing. 28 hours with moderate usage (xda, engadget, texting, web browsing, etc). So I am hesitant to switch, I would recommend keeping the old one until 2.2.1 kernel

Nahhh I kept it the same whatever the kernel was before. And that 28 hours went down to about 22 but that is still amazing.. the standby time is awesome, thats what gives the battery life. If you use it constantly it will drain but if you use it like a normal human being it will be perfect for you.

Yea dude no problem. Hey if you come up with a good combo that helps with the battery life while the phone is awake, pm me and let me know your ideas. And so far bionix v has been doing wonders for me but axura has a kb1 based rom out and I can only imagine it will be good. I choose to have bionix because I DESPISE axuras theme.. lol
Ps. To test your battery life just download the battery left widget and check it every once and a while. Once you use your phone (from 100% to 0%) the readings from the app will be fully accurate and can tell you how much battery you have left and how long. The battery accuracy is set as you lose battery, so the more you use it, the more accurate. So to test your combos use this widget to determine battery life and which ever one has the most hours, should be the best. It will take a while but it will be worth it lol

Nero 5 v Bionix V
I can only compare Bionix V to Nero 5.
Both are very close. Battery is much better on Bionix 5. Was using KA7 modem on Nero 5. Just installed KB1 modem on my Bionix 5. Will have to see how that works out. So far I can tell that I get a better signal and faster D/L and U/L.
I am getting lower Quadrant scores on Bionix (1300)compared to Nero (1500) on stock cpu not overclocked.
Overall I am happy with what I got so far.

ROMs (and kernels for that matter) cannot give you faster internet speeds. The only thing that will give you a faster connection will be a better signal, and the only thing on your phone that can give you a better signal that you can change is the modem. What ROMs and kernels can do is make the connection more consistent, so the connection speed doesn't fluctuate as much, but that is the best you could hope for.

there is no throttling enabled in the kernel or rom. Any throttling Verizon is going to do is on the network side, and no kernel or rom you flash is going to do anything to fix it. The issue with the stock kernel, at least the Eclair one, was that during periods of high data usage, the kernel drivers weren't coded well and they would easily bog down under load due to the issues and cause heavy fluctuation in your connection speeds. SirGatez fixed the issue in his Eclair kernel, and I'm sure that when the Froyo source is released, or if he gets the i9000 source working, he'll do the same thing again with that. But, there is no throttling or other bandwidth control setup.

A rom is, as good as the operator and what that operator may have installed on his or her device. Sod, mms, and clock lag and other issues are not the fault of the rom.

good day.
Another +1 for super clean.
As a further example of how complications are usually the fault of the user..... I was rooted running S.C. 2.9.1 voodoo EB16 Kernal and I starting having restart problems and even a bootloop at one point.... This was not the ROM but a theme I had decided to flash over it. Anything outside of what is provided for you in the Super Clean threads is a gamble.
Currently after returning to stock I am running the same set-up minus the theme and am having no issues. Running smoother and faster than ever.

FWIW, it seems to happen to everyone at some point.
Now, back to the original Q, I'm currently using Adryn's EC01 (Rom + Radio) and it seems to be working well. I HAD been using the DL09 modem for the last few weeks b/c of reception quality, but I decided to go for it and upgrade to EC01
I'm getting pretty good battery life and even better reception than before, but I liked the dark black theme of SC 2.9.2.
I'd say you should give ec01 a shot.
Be ye forewarned though: First boot, mine asked if I wanted to do a VZW over-the-air update. probably not a great idea. lol.
We should enforce some sort of temporary ban on these idiots. Follow the damn rules.

After nitsuj17 informed him that this is in the wrong section, is it really necessary for ten other people to point it out?
I'm running SC 2.9.2 with the EC01 radio and jt's EB01 kernel (non-voodoo) and my phone is working like a champ. Excellent reception, instant GPS lock, nice theme, and great battery life. I'm waiting to see what this "community project" is before I switch roms again.

Well, first of all.. tell me a little bit.
What are you looking for?
Speed? Good Battery Life? Froyo, Gingerbread? Do you care? GPS? etc.
personally bionix 1.3.1 was my favorite for froyo, but if you want Ginger cm7 nighty is the way to go. miui is popular, but for the most part, it turns the vibrant into something completely. . . different.
flash away man. see what works for you. the vibrant is virtually unbrickable.

I've gone from Cyanogenmod7 to Trigger to Toxic Crazy 8. Cyanogen was horrible, as I was still a noob and it was terribly buggy then.
I suggest toxic Crazy 8. Flashed it a couple weeks ago, and it's beautiful. I decided to stay with Froyo because it's been around longer (more time to perfect it) and it's much more battery efficient. I get 44 hours of light use out of my phone, on one charge (Screenshots soon, I'm busy now...) It's also super smooth, just follow their install instructions. I've never had it lag and I can't stress how amazingly smooth it is.... xD Have fun flashing! Just keep some backups handy...
Edit: I failed to mention I'm running on Bali, OC'd to 1.2 Ghz (It came with Toxic, and I have no reason to change)

hahaha you consider a preview kernel, with limited features/functionality and some bugs, to be the best kernel available to the vibrant?? or is it only the best because that's what you have?
i couldnt even mount my sd to my computer on that kernel.
im not trashing the dev by any means, thats why he called it a "preview kernel". but to come onto a thread and call it the best available is ignorant, and can be very misleading to inexperienced users.
Honestly , you should try it, It work so good, Speed is great! , No lag, Battery life is awsome., the only problem, the games open but for some reason close,/

So far battery life is ok for me, less than stock passion but thats expected for a preview. I am finding Live OC incredible, set clock speeds on the fly.
But overall Topshelf is right, its a PREVIEW, with more features and fixes to come, so its not best kernel as of right now, but imo soon
