higher build# = better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but in all seriousness there is plenty of information about the differences from froyo to gingerbread...the sdk highlights summarize it pretty simply
is the leap from froyo to gb as big as the leap from donut or something to eclair or eclair to froyo? no, or at least it doesnt seem that way
but its whats current
Gingerbread includes several optimizations for the Hummingbird processor, much like Froyo has a bunch of optimizations for Snapdragon. Most of the changes are not something the user will see and are really on the underlying OS AFAIK.

What do you mean? How high are they overclocking the Nexus S?
Lots of Vibrants are oc'ed to 1400 with good stability.

Have you tried Dragon 4? It was MUCH more stable for me.

Yes The Team Whiskey-/ Dragon and some of the Eugene kernels can over clock very well I had one 1.45 The problem with o.c is the battery drain
But any of those do well in the over clocking world.

It could just mean that the developers of Nexus S put a higher voltage at the higher clock speed, which also means that it kills your phone faster.
You don't gain something from nothing. Oh and I am not talking about battery life....
dragon 3.6 overckolcked to 1.4 has battery almost as good as stock ! DoW doesent because it overclocks gpu at the same time and this is whats jams your phone when u run graphic benchmark.

A newer device with (in all likelihood...this is a guess based on decades of experience with CPU's) a newer revision stepping of the Hummingbird CPU. CPU/GPU manufacturers are ALWAYS fine tuning their designs, primarily for higher yields and better stability. This plays out predictably in the desktop x86 environment with concepts like speed-binning and overclocking in that arena, so it should come as no surprise that this plays out in other areas as well.
Newer board layout with design experience gleaned from manufacturing a few million Galaxy S devices? Reduced capacitance and resistance issues due to layout changes, altering of support components, changing trace lengths...etc, so on and so forth. All of these things can play out for significant and measurable improvements in stability. Manufacturers learn as they "do", the same as we do.
In other words, there are all sorts of easily plausible reasons why.
These sorts of things all have a significant effect in the desktop/laptop system world, so there is no reason to assume they wouldn't carry over to the smartphone universe.
What is the difference between bionix frost and bionic. And not just the whole 2.2 and 2.2.1 thing, but real differences. Thanks

Eh nothing you will really notice. Don't expect a feature filled update.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
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.

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.
Still fairly new at all of this, was wondering if it is possible to overclock and do anything with voodoo color/sound using the superclean rom? Or would I need to change roms?

roms have nothing to do with that..its kernels...if you are on eclair you can use overclock/undervolt kernels some of which build in voodoo sound/color
on froyo there is none of that until source is released
Thank you, that clears things up nicely...

So basically:
OC and voodoo color/sound vs. the benefits of Froyo...
Decisions, decisions...
OC not a big deal, phone feels damn fast now running DarkRevenge, is color/sound cool?

if you listen to music through headphones then yeah voodoo sound is worth it...color only works on brightest settings
oc i could really careless...undervolt...well thats something i miss from eclair
but ill take froyo as is over the most decked out eclair any day
Yeah, I'm sticking with Froyo I believe... Although the headphones thing would be neat... Thanks for taking the time to answer.

If you woke up and found Samsung released gingerbread for vibrant and T-Mobile pushed it out to your phone, how would you use your phone differently?
Use GPS and Netflix doesn't count...
Just trying to figure out why people are up in arms again about updates.
Thanks to our all devs who have already brought 2.3 to us!!
Nothing different. I just want it.
When I got 2.2, felt the same as 2.1, except for the colorful icons in the settings menu.
I still wanted it though.
Gimmee gimmme 2.3 hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see the memory management of 2.3 is better than 2.2, include Copy, Paste functions and status bar icon more beautyful... waiting for Ice cream

Lets be clear, looking forward to an os update doesn't equate to dissatisfaction with the devs. It only means your looking forward to the update. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the devs are anxious either. After all, an update means new source. New source means new roms, new kernels, new life to a phone that many considered to be dead. And if out weren't for the life support provided by the devs, it would surely be dead.
gingerbread optimizes the hummingbird cpu, which would make the overall vibrant experience better.

This is the best experience I had when I was running gingerbread. The memory management is really perfect unlike in froyo.

Valid point though, is it ever enough? We were never guaranteed gingerbread and honestly i've run it and yes it is nicer than froyo but it is by no means worthy of throwing a fit or being pissy or grabbing pitch forks and torches over. Without devs our phone was a freaking embarrassment on 2.1 yes but 2.2 is smooth I dunno what is expected. We got jerked around pretty good last time. But it appears that they are stepping up with new phones. Unfortunately the vibrant may have to wait. It appears there is some change though we will see if it lasts. But seriously we gotta just see what happens no point in getting over pissed

It doesn't matter what you think
already running gingerbread, so for the most part i don't care. but i would probably flash some rounds of whatever roms come of it.
So if netflix works only on GB for Galaxy S phones, why OP excluded it as a valid reason to get GB update? Right now that is the only reason i want GB on my phone.
I'd enjoy the improved battery life, major bug fixes such as sms being sent to random recipient, better memory management and security hotfixes.

I heard a rumor that Gingerbread will include the ext4 file system. Is it true?
Way better memory management and overall faster. Supposedly, it's coming this month.

What is the difference between AOSP and CM7? Is it a completely different OS or a version of GB with proper porting to utilize all of the phones hardware specifically.

ASOP is completely stock as Google originally released it before the carriers and the manufactures molest it with garbage. CM7 is a totally optimized version of android with generally better performance, more options, and generally it's a version ahead of most non dev phones IE nexus 1 and nexus s.

In summary: CM7 is a real AOSP 2.3.X project with better performance (much better) and a few addons.
