It comes with stock froyo (2.2) but if you are looking for a custom ROM then you should check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090448
Those are the two most popular/stable custom 2.2 ROMs out there. I would read through the posts and form your own opinion. I use Evil Fascination but they are both very good. You should know that there is a high probability of a stable, fully functional custom 2.3 (gingerbread) ROM being released within the next couple of weeks.
Would love to see stable Gingerbread on my beloved Fascinate..

What is the best kernel that I can use on the generic 2.1 firmware that has WiFi and gps working?
They have not fully developed any "good" kernals yet, just alphas. It's a work in progress and do not think any are compatible with the generic 2.1
For now with your needs stock is best option. Lots more work to be done yet ;-)

Ok just wanting to make sure because the lag gets kinda annoying.
Il be honest from my experience iv had using custom kernals, yes they do help with speed and help the phone feel less laggy but youl get much more out of flashing a custom rom with all features working, say a froyo one like zdzihu 2.2 beta 4 or wolfbreak or even miui. Custom kernals are still very much a work in progress. You could even try out some of the kernals avaible on froyo, i dont think any have been made for 2.1 yet and you may find the custom kernal may break the wifi or gps. Tbh id suggest just try changing your rom and if you need a hand flashing it or basebands iv put together a great guide in my signature

I agree with Gingerbread Man. Most if not all 2.2 ROMs have been thoroughly developed and have been really smooth. I was running the generic 2.1 for awhile and flashing 2.2 ROMs made my life so much easier because they are really smooth with little to no errors. Try flashing a 2.2 ROM. It will be worth your while =)
Hey Guys,
This is after long time I've decided to upgrade my T-mobile Vibrant again and would like to know which are the best ROMs I should opt?
I am currently running on Nero v5:
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: T959UVKA5
KERNEL: 2.6.32.9
Need you recommendations?
Thank you,
Nikhil
Give trigger 3.2 a try. Its very stable and everything works.
They're all good. Personnel preference really.
Try Jillete's SGS II Clone, its very beautiful and I'm running it with Bullet kernel, which can be found at EDT forums.

Any feedback about "Simply Honey 3.5 Revolution"?
Bi-Winning v2 best of the best IMO.

CM7 very stable
I'm a BIG fan of MALICE. Fastest speeds and best battery life for me to date. It's one of the few ROMs I find myself going back to. Plus its theme styling is my cup of tea. Of course I'm a flash addict/whore (aren't we all) and currently I'm running the latest TW release with no complaints. Listen to the masses and check them all out(you know you wanna). Good luck!
cm7 works awesome, but you have to keep in mind that gps is currently not working. everything else works great.
I have rooted my new samsung fascinate after i got the newest verizon software update last week. I then flashed the rom, evil fascination 3.6. I am certainly liking it so far but want to try others. I am just asking anyone who has a sweet looking rom or theme they would recommend? I am looking for something that is stable as well as running smoothly. And definitley has to look good lol. Please let me know everyone!
The other main option is Commuity ROM.
As for looks, go to the Themes and apps sub-forum. You can radically alter how either EF or ComROM look.
I love the CommRom but for me the battery life was horrible no matter what kernels I used.

I highly recommend staying with Evil Fascination. Been running it since May and had no problems. Plus nitro has a handfull of themes in the works for it.
Running the Comm Rom but with the leaked Gingerbread I would wait for a custom rom based on it.
Basically until we get official gingerbread source we will not have completely stable rims (gps, mute/unmute, wifi calling,etc). Is development for froyo roms completely over. I see a few and in using bionix v. Wondering if any devs willing to continue developing more awesome froyo roms. Maybe more with an aosp look. Don't recommend gb roms because I need gps and call quality for work everyday use.

Um, we do have a plethora stable roms! Just not for 2.3. You probably won't get your request filled 'less you do it yourself. Devs have taken froyo about as far as they can go. There are tons of themes and kernels out there to customize just about any froyo rom to your liking. I'm a personal fan of Bionix 1.3.1 with the Gingerbread launcher. EDT has a bunch of flavors out there, too.
I've heard the Official 2.3.4 will be out this week. (Gingerbread iirc) Any confirmation on that?
what rom are you guys using?
i just rooted my vibrant and want to know what rom right now is working good..with the least amount of issues and bugs
most importantly where i dont get missed calls or txts
im guessing cm7 isnt fully working
From what I can tell the most stable ROMs are still 2.2 since CM7 and other Gingerbread roms still have issues with GPS and battery power. The two best established ROMs I've found are:
Project V from 6/11/2011
Team Whiskey's Bionix-v 1.3.1
fwiw out there, I wish there was a "stable, widely used and fully functioning" section in one of the FAQs. I know a number of the regulars on here are comfortable flashing, but I would guess a majority of the readers/lurkers just want one stable ROM to use for the rest of their phone's life.
Good luck!
hahaha yeah thats me...im always trading phones..traded my sidekick 4g for vibrant plus 75 bucks
would you post the most current link to the roms please if you dont mind
i really wished cm7 was stable =/
I'm using phiremod. Stable and I can put netflix on without further mod. However, I can't overclock. I really wish I could do that. I'm sure there is a way, I just don't know how to install the kernel necessary with CWM. I'm still a big noob.

my vote is for toxic 8. with immortality kernal or bali which comes with it. Plus there is lots of themes available for it. I tried most of the GB roms and they all have great features, but I want everything to work as it should.
Bi-Winning V3 with Bali 1.8.8UV
In light/moderate use, I'm currently on 33% and its been 1d 8h..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is a section in the development and it has the vibrant bible open that up and look at the kernels section for 2.3 u will see bali glitch neo and so on i suggest neo for best battery life and smoothness i always overclock to 1.44mhz with setcpu and i dont UV
So I'm guessing that all these roms are to SD just how com would right
