Why?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've tried both and loved both... I had less issues/FCs with Eugene's BUT I REALLY hate that he took out the 5 icons from the notification pull down.... BUT, the mounting and moving files works, which did not for ME on Nero (not the case for everyone). I actually was not even able to make a successful nandroid with Nero or even restore my LauncherPro settings, even after applying the SD_Fix.zip... not sure why my phone did not like nero, it was amazing/beautiful.
I personally am a speed hog, so I am using Nero after trying both it and Gingerbread Clone.
Nero seemed to be quicker to me, and as the person said above me, it has the 5 buttons in the drop down (wifi, gps, etc...)
BUT I haven't had the problem of mounting/dismounting with Nero, so if I were to have that simple problem I would have gone back to Fusion 1.2.
Not much help, but it's my 2cents.
Nero, it looks amazing, and feels amazing with/ or without lagfixes.
Both Nero and Gingerbread Clone are really nice roms. For me i went with Nero Beta 3 because i like the data arrows over the E and 3G symbol, plus the Pulldown bar quick Keys.
nero or ginger
im currently using ginger clone and i gotta say i like it . for me its smooth even without a lag fix.
i know i've yet to try nero. so cant comment on that.
the pull down thing is a bit odd but i got over it by just simply putting a widget with those things. i mean thats what the screens are for right. the five or four buttons at the bottom i miss though im getting over that as well just put em in the home screen and its more or less the same thing. over all i like it very much. might flash nero soon though just to see whats up
I have a great idea for OP, with no sarcasm intended.
Install both ROMS and try em out for a hour or two, see which one you like
Just curious! I am still using it cause i find it to be the best one still out there, bug proof
Personally and I mean personally the best one was Fusion 1.2 which I just stopped using to switch to Nero Beta 3.
If I was go back from anything it would be back to that rom.
WOW I'm not the only one!
I was flashing something every few days and then I got Bionix and Voodoo. It's beautiful, fast and stable. I figured I'd be flashing something else, but then I got busy and realized that I really like what I have. Som people on here trash talk the Vibrant. I guess they aren't seeing what I'm seeing.
I will probably flash a froyo when things settle down a bit, but I was really disappointed when I saw that it still uses RFS.
Maybe I'll see what happens with the Nexus S code.
Nope you aren't the only one. I too refuse to use anything else, it's great. Speed, bug free & great battery life, what else could you want?
Everytime I think about upgrading and decide on a particular rom, I go into the rom's thread and quickly end up changing my mind. Too many complaints and bugs that I don't feel like living with.
Besides, I don't see what all the fuss is about with Froyo (or Gingerbread for that matter). People act like they're revolutionary upgrades... they're anything but.
Same here, but still on Bionix Fusion 1.1! I never found the heart to flash to 1.2.
Found no need to flash any other ROM seeing as how this does everything I need it to and I don't need to be on the cutting edge. Battery life still gets me through a day as long as I give it a daily reboot.
Will probably end up trying Nero at some point if I ever find some free time.
I think for me Fusion 1.2 was the best and now I'm running Nero 3 beta, which was a tough decision because I had such great reliability in 1.2
Now with Nero Beta 3 I haven't fully seen the battery awesomeness of Fusion 1.2, but man its just so much more fluid. The screen swapping and feel is more refine. It feels more natural to me. When you click on a button it just opens and pretty quick I might add. My lock/unlock seems more responsive. The Status bar seems more responsive. The camera opens up fast.
Apps like NewsRob would take a bit nearly a second or maybe longer to clear all of the unread articles because it had to mark them all as read. With Nero Beta 3 its nearly instant.
Anyways I'm not a spokes person or anything, but as for somebody who shy'd away from all the other versions beyond Fusion 1.2 I'm rather happy with it and worst case I can just flash back to Fusion 1.2 and run a nandroid and be good to go. Ooops, looks like Nero V1 just landed. Time to read what that has in store.
Hey I am new to the Vibrant phones and wanted to see if there is a complete ROM out there. Does not matter if it is on 2.2 or 2.3.
I am looking for everything that works...GPS, 3G ect.
I currently installed Bionix 1.3.1 but only Edge works.
Any help is great because I really do not want to flash each one to see which one works.
T-Mobile USA
If you want everything to work then no GB rom for you. GPS doesn't work yet. EDT roms are always good. I use Bi-Winning most of the time. It's 2.2.1 and I get great performance and battery using it with the Bali kernel. There is a newer Bionix rom, Nextgen. It runs great but I don't get the battery I would like with it. But to be honest most of the Froyo roms all work really well at this point and it is just personal preference as to which you use. So I would try several to find the one you like.
The only issue I have with Bionix NextGen is the force close on open apps when the phone goes to sleep. It actually is a positive in some cases you don't have to back out or hit the home button. When ur done with what ur doing put the phone down and walk away or turn it off(sleep) when you need the phone again ur back at ur home screen! Sweet. But more times than not ur in the middle of something and the phone goes to sleep on its own then you gotta open up whatever you were in again. Does it to everything from games to internet to messaging anything really. The only thing that doesn't close in sleep is calls and music.
Axura is quite nice...
I used Axura for a long time. It had pretty much everything working perfectly. The GPS was hit or miss, but that might've had something to do with my calibrating it inside rather than in an open area. Everything worked perfectly as far as I was concerned, very smooth, snappy and responsive. I was trying to flash CM7 (which is by no means a stable ROM yet) just to see what it offered but I was transfering the .zip through a ****ty USB cable that disconnected about 3 times during the transfer. Needless to say when it died, my internal SD was unmounted and apparently corrupted, nothing I could do with it. Then I got a decent cord, got it to recognize in Odin finally, and attempted to flash back to stock. Odin froze in the middle of the flash and made the phone completely unusable. As in wouldn't even turn on. Not a single pixel would light up. Waiting on a replacement now. When it comes it, I would love to go up to 2.3 but I don't know what the most stable Gingerbread rom is at the moment. Any suggestions on most complete 2.3 ROM thus far. Obviously they are all a work in progress, but which is the most stable currently?
I like Asgard, I dont think its supported here so you'll have to float on over to EDT site to check it out but everything werked for me pretty well except for GPS wich is to be expected but honestly I don't use it that much anyways. That and WIFI didn't seem to werk for me at least. Only the 3G connection. Other than that its all gravy baby! Good luck!
Axura though older rom now......... 2.2 everything works well and amazing battery life
Try Biwinning from EDT this work great and the GPS patch they supply make the gps work as well too
Until we have the drivers for 2.3 no gps, but this will be coming, Like 2,3 but battery life is not as good
So Try Biwinning, Zen-droid, or Trigger they re the top-listers as of today all work great
If you want a complete rom i'd run either Bionix v or Trigger or Bi-winning. I'm currently running trigger and couldn't be happier, everything works perfect. I was a flash whore for a while and im stuck on trigger for the last 3 months, cant find anything to complain about.
Yeah I'd go with the flow on this one! Bionix V is a really good one, Bi-winning is a good one too. Right now I'm running the trigger3.3 beta and I love it. Trigger3.2 is fine though and its stable, not a beta or test version. If you like that gingerbread look you can flash a gingerbread theme over the stock trigger theme. The stock theme is actually really cool though...just an opinion!

Before jumping to CM7, Bionix-V 1.3.1 was the rom i always went back to. if you're having trouble with signal, you should try a different modem - KB1 and KB5 work well for me. The Bali kernel is also great and recommended.
But, as always, try out as many roms as you can to find the one that suits you best. Just about any froyo (2.2, not 2.2.1 so much) rom should have everything working with great performance. \
good luck!
Hi all. Been Modding my phones for a few years now. Started with an iPhone 3gs. Then moved onto a galaxy s. Ran darkys from on there and then upgraded to an s2 in Oct 2011. I've got experience in Modding but I don't have the correct authorisation to post on the main rom page. Although I'm new to posting I've been viewing this forum for years. I was running the v1.1 of the Ressurection remix rom. Only issue was random app closes and terrible battery life. I've now moved on to v1.3. I installed the stock Sammy ics firmware so went from that to 1.3. Runs like a dream. No errors at all. No force closures or nothing. Only issue is the hot keys and vibration. I want the hot keys to light up when I hit them. And then shut off after 3 seconds, like they used too. I don't want them on all the time. Even tho I have them switched off they make random appearances. And why does swagger mode keep turning on? Can the phone sense Im Swagtastic or summit? Lol.
Any help would be much appreciated.
PS. WESTCRIP doesn't deserve half the stick he's getting in main rom thread. This rom is amazing. So many customization options, speed and battery. If your not able to follow the very basic installation guides and your install went bad... then its your fault.. not his. He's produced the best version yet.
You have to wait for the next update. You can try the thoravukk kernel for the hot keys.

Thanks a lot. I'll happily wait as the rom is fantastic. A few white lights missing won't force me to downgrade the rom.

I know what you mean, amazing rom, the best i've tried by far. People seem to get the weirdest of issues on the main thread.
I am not sold on 1.3.
I had 1.1, upgraded to 1.2, went back to 1.1, upgraded to 1.3 and now back to 1.1.
My device ran much slower and battery life suffered each time I upgraded from 1.1
So far, 1.1 is the better ICS Resurrection for me.
I am trying out Foxhound now but as I am in dual boot mode, the 1.1 is here to stay unless I see a significant performance improvement on 1.3.
I used wanam(I think that's how its spelt) stock ics s2 rom. Then flashed 1.3 over that. Then gapps. Then realised I never wiped cache etc so re-flashed after wipeing cache and this rom is running amazingly. Dunno weather the way I installed made any difference or not. Personally I believe it has. This is easily twice as responsive as 1.1 and I'm also getting 4mb download speeds as apposed to 1.2mb on 1.1 in the same spot on mobile networks. 1.3 is awesome.

Does anyone have a link to the older versions and possibly a change log?

I agree with you. I'm in love with 1.3, and i see that some minor bugs are natural if you are on a bleeding edge technology like this is. 1.1 is more stable, true. But 1.3 is a beauty, the potential of aokp makes me thonk ther's gonna be way better, especially if developed by people like Wes.
I'm using thoravukk kernel. hot keys works better, not perfect. Battery is very good testing it now. You have many governors to play with and supports UC and OC.
Tell me if it helped

download link for 1.0,1.1 and 1.2 http://mirror10.downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/roms/ResurrectionICSROM/PRO
I had siyah on v1.1 and the battery was terrible. Get like an hour hard use(mainly mine craft pe) which was probably related to something else. whereas today I've been on 4 hours usage with like 63% remaining. Love the feature to put the clock in the center of status bar too with the day and am/pm either side of it.
The kernel that comes with 1.3 is great so far anyways. Everything is completely stable.

I was a big fan of resurrection remix v1. 1, then I was about to try v1.2 but was scared away by all the bugs etc, and plus v1.1 was very buggy, random reboots aplenty, fone becoming very hot around processors etc, so didn't bother. Now he's released v1.3 very soon after 1.2 so I decided to go a diff route & I tried Omega v9. I've been running Omega now for a week or so & I honestly love it. I its rock solid stable, and no reboots at all, had 2 fc issues but they were both caused by apex. It's got the kitchen App so many mods & customizations are only a click away. Also it just works, & I do mean everything. The dev is now working on v10 & I for one can't wait

Is it worth installing v1.3 over 1.1 in terms of peformance, battery life, stability etc...?
Have read some people seem to be happier with 1.1 but surely as a newer ROM 1.3 would be better!
i know its down to personal choice at the end of the day but just wanted to know peoples experience/opinions
Thanks
Saf
On a separete note, did my first flash yesterday to v1.1, am pretty happy i managed to do it, the rush you get....hehe!
Try Omega v9, you won't be disappointed

NO... it's not worth it. Better off going to 1.4 of RR
PS
no more bugs on 1.1 than any other roms after you installed the fixes posted - but most users are not very good at reading about bugs and the fixes for them (even when they are posted on the OP) lol.

Hey guys, i installed AOKP cm9 Monday night and once installed i fell in love. I came from th eclipse rom which was good but just the customization and look of AOKP is beautiful.
SO this leads me to my problems. When i flashed the rom and used it yesterday it was pretty much working great. I didnt use the dialer much so i dont know if t was happening then or just started. It seems if i call someone and the screen goes black due to the proximity sensor it will not come back after to end the call or when i pull the phone away from my face. I have to constantly press the power button to unlock the phone then i can click end then the screen locks again and have to swipe unlock to get back into the phone. This is a major PITA and wondering if it is a known bug or am i the only one.
Also from looking at the official thread here it states the camera is working but mine does not.
NVM just got it going
Also wondering when i was using elclispe and would go into rom toolbox > build.prop tweaks i could adjust about 7 things such as prox sensor and such. Now i only have 4 lcd, ring delay vmheap, scan interval. Why do i only get 4 tweaks versus the 7 i had before.
Add: Also i just noticed now when i get a call my screen stays blank. I had to again click the power button x amount of times to get in and now recieving a message "processcom.android is not responding. would u like to close it"
Ugghh this is so aggrevating
lso noiced in apps running im using at the highest 330-350 mb and states betwee 48-90mb free. thats to high isnt it

But for the life of me, trying to use the dialpad was nearly impossible while on a call. That helped ALOT. You can also DL Screeble in the market. That will help.

I have the same problem on my X2. You gotta go into settings and I forget where at the moment, but you have to enable hysterisis or something to that extent. I kick myself for not remembering.
As for ROM toolbox, don't use it.
COme on man you gotta remember haha what does hyterisis do and why not use rom toolbox
Sorry about that. Had to look up where DZK gave me some insight on that:
dragonzkiller said:
In CM9 (and I believe CM7) there is a setting under the brightness controls (I believe it's there, I don't have either running right now) called "hysteresis." Hysteresis is basically a "smoothing out" of what the light sensor sees and what value is actually sent to the brightness controls. Enabling that will make the screen react slower to changing light situations, but will disable (or should disable) flicker of the screen from the light sensor acting up. It might not be the problem, but it shouldn't hurt to try it out.

Also for CM7, I know you said you are on CM9, it says in the original post:
"16. Never user RomManager! (Yes it's included, but that's a CM7 thing and won't work with the DX2.)"
I've also read other areas that ROM manager is a no-no for the X2. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks Tally. I found where to play with hysteria and it was getting better but still doing it. I had my display or auto, for the phone to adjust display depending on the light. I turned that off and left it at 80% no matter the light and that fixed it. Wow just the auto brightness display could cause so much crap.
So i should just uninstall Rom manager, I dont usually use it anyways.
You stated in your previous post rom toolbox. Was it toolbox or manager that u are stating we shouldnt use?
Also is 300-350mb of ram ok for the phone to be using fairly regularly?
spoke to soon. It was working now its back to normal. I am ready to bodyslam this phone
Tally.. what settings did you do on your d2 to make it work correctly
Don't do it. Mine was doing exactly what you have described. Once you get it figured out, its ok. But yes... it will make you want to punt it across the room.
Your 300-350 mb of ram is ok.
I wouldn't delete it ROM manager. Just leave it as it is.

I had the best luck running CM9 mashed up- not supercharged or anything else. Others here had some luck with the V6 supercharger. Different phones just acted differently. But now that the beta version has the mash up in the build.prop just let it ride. Avoid Facebook and sites that have alot of media to load.
It really does work pretty good once you get a feel of how your phone reacts to it. Alot of the things are tolerable.
What do u mean by mashed up. Do you mean by cm9 or the aokp cm9. I am getting some really wacky stuff happening. System running real slow, screen not coming on usually from a call or sometimes when trying to unlock phone, now my VM wouldn't respond, apps taking a lot more time than usual to open. I don't know if this is the aokp from or the phone. I had the screen glitch w eclipse but not all the other stuff. I called verizon and they r willing to send out a replacement but just not sure if its the phone or rom
ok so this is weird and not sure if it is the problem. I was trying to play with anything that may affect how slow it is and once i flashed the aokp rom i downloaded a little later a cobalt theme for my theme chooser. Was running that all day and just now said " let me try putting it back to system theme" once the system them was in and everything loaded it was back to working quick again.
Now be it , it has only been a half hour but already it is what i saw first thing and the screen glitch is there but i can end calls w the power button. Would a theme make the phone act wacky?

Mashup is a flashable add on for roms. It is supposed to make things run smoother and help with the signal. Mashup is pre installed on CM9 alpha 5 and beta 1, I don't believe AOKP comes with it but Im not sure. And I had a bunch of issues with CM9, but Ive been running CM7 for months and love it. Maybe give CM7 a shot till the new ICS roms get debugged a little more.
Ok first off dont ever talk to verizon about your issues, always come to the forums... Always. Verizon doesn't know anything beyond complete stock. You need to spend time looking around the x2 forums read read read. Mashup is a mod that's right here in our dev forum very easy to apply just download the right version and flash in the appropriate recovery
Rolling AOKP in the north.
