What is a stable rom - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.
CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.
With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.
You could also try Asgard

+1 s15274n to wht he says! i love cm 7

I like Axura, looks good runs great and the battery life is excellent. Also its the only ROM I can get gps to work.

Hey guys thanks I think ill just wait till the bionix gb rom comes out

Im using M.I.U.I, and i think that its pretty good. My battery life its waay better than with CM7. Its a little (barely noticeable) laggy. I love the themes and apps. I do miss the drawer sometimes, but meh, its just about getting used to not having drawer.

Thanks cm7rocks
Vibrant owns cm7

try Revolution 1.5 rom by ali.
I am using it right now and it is very fast and quite stable too.

I also like Axura a lot, decent battery life and HUGE customization options.

Did someone say MIUI lags? You must be "doing it wrong" because it's a far cry from Froyo when it comes to lag. MIUI is by far the smoothest ROM I've used, and the few issues that exist are pretty minor, at least with build 1.9.23. GPS works great too, if not better than Froyo.

Best Rom?

What do you guys think the best all around rom is? I'm currently running trigger 3.0.0 and battery life and stability is GREAT but it isn't as nice or cool looking as CM7 or MIUI. I've tried almost every rom out there and I can't seem to find the perfect rom with looks, customization AND stability so i want your opinion.
If you can handle no gps, poor battery and not powering off your phone to charge the battery, CM7 is amazing.
I was running CM7 for about two weeks but the battery life was horrible so I switched back to Trigger. It's the best rom in terms of looks and customization but the battery life was bad and I couldn't figure out how to use my FFC. Great rom just not stable enough.

Try the EDT's 2.2.1, also when you say Trigger is not stable you might be doing something wrong.

Oh I was referring to CM7 when I said it isn't stable.
I've been using Bionix 1.3.1 since it came out, and love it.
Stable, fast, great battery, great everything really.
1.3.2 is even better!
Absolutely no hiccups with Bionix 1.3.2
The more I read Bi-Winning is in tip top shape too
running bi-winning with no problems. with overstock kernel. kb5 modem.
BIONIX V 1.3.2....
Runnin' something from TW!
Definitely not Bionix ;] but seriously try Bionix, or TOXIC FIRE (I capitalized it because it's better)

It's almost stupid how outrageously fast it is!
Here I was thinking 1.3.1 was fast, this just blows it away and it hasn't even been officially released by TW yet.
If, as a test, it's this fast I can't even imagine what the final thing will be like!
Bionix is old and ive found trigger to be superior.
But recently ive dropped trigger too in favor of bi-winning since v2 came out
Now im running galaxy xtreme v2.1 and so far it seems to be the absolute smoothest of all the roms ive tried

Bionix 1.3.2 hands down....

Best battery..... Haven't had to charge in two days

i usually only use tw roms and highly recommend them but i am trying bi-winning right now and loving it its awsome got some good themes too.
after i went to cm7 the first time i used atriarc then bi-winning. but i'm back on cm7 again. cm7>working gps.
Trigger + overstock kernel is very stable for me with 12 to 15 hours battery life plus a great gps locks within 30s

time to update vibrant? (bionix 1.3.1)

it's been a while since i've been here. i have noticed my phone lagging more now with bionix 1.3.1 (2.2) and wondering if i should update to 2.2.1 or 2.3 or higher, and which roms are top of the class since bionix is done.
thanks!
I actually recently flashed Heathen's Private Stock 2.2.1 and I gotta say I'm impressed. Although it doesn't come with Voodoo Lagfix, the ROM gets amazing battery life and runs extremely smoothly
toxic baby + fugu tweaks + voodoo is smooth as silk... throw in juice defender and watchdog and you have a ridiculously long battery life..

I think a fresh install might help ur situation, I really wouldnt say Bionix or TW for that matter is done. Bionix is still one of the most developed for ROMs in terms of MODs and themes.
Although if u wanna try out some others there are some great options out there. If ur looking for a real change of pace try searching for Atriarc its an EDT release 2.2.1 running the arc launcher! Its titz dude and the bootanimation iz wild! Not sure if its supported here tho you might need to float over to their forums.

If you don't mind a few bugs and meh battery life, CM7 is probably the best ROM out there, in my opinion.

[Q] Quick question?

Hello to all of you. I wanted to know what rom are you using? I'm currently switching from Bionix 1.3.1 and Nex Gen v2. if you guys use something different that is giving you better preformance, then please let use noob know. If you can tell us why you like it and what makes it better the other rom that would be great. If I missed any ROM then I'm sorry but just put it in you reply and I will add it later.
we apericiate your help in advance.
Thank You
guys your opinion will be very helpful for us and the developers, so please lets input our preference.
RevolutionRom is very quick and very stable. There will be an update rolled out shortly that will blow anything else out of the table so if I were you I would try Revolution.
ZenDroid 2.0.1 currently but it's not listed...
I have had the best overall performance from Vibrace V1.7 (2.2.1) using Bali 1.8.7uv kernel. It's quick, smooth, and has good battery life. I have tried a variety of gingerbread ROMs but eventually come back to this ROM due to the poor battery life and poor GPS performance on the gingerbread ROMs.

Anyone else like to put that they personally use, I would like it if you guys make this a helpful thread.
I'm running cm7 build #58. I know it's not a stable build, but it has been working great for me. I also flashed the Glitch Kernel V11, which allows OC/UV. I like it so far.
who has better battery with Boinix 1.3.1 Vs Boinix Next Gen V2? I usually get 1 day/ 8hours. what about you guys?
Thanks in Advance
How many of you stick with one ROM, and how many try new thing everyday?
I been trying various GB roms lately but they all seem to have some little but nagging issues like freezes, fc, and mediocre battery life. Features and aesthetics are great though.
I run bionix nextgen as my stable rom when I'm busy and don't have time to flash around roms.
You should be getting better battery life with bionix. Try battery calibrate and Bali kernel.

I want to try a different modem like KB5. Do I need to fully charge the phone and install in recovery, or I can install it when the phone is halfway charged?
I refuse to vote unless you add Simply Honey 4.0. Lol
thanks, sorry but I don't know how to add more options. if you know to let me know thanks.
I run one rom... i had nero 3 fo the LONGEST time... things started acting wierd... so i changed to a GB rom... and its pretty good thus far...
Any new things you guys changed or tweaked recently?
I am running bi-winning v3.0 w/ bali kernel. Its alraight.

Looking for a set up suggestion.

Hi I just got a free used vibrant. I'm gonna use it as a back up phone. My primary is a Galaxy S 4G, running ICBINB. It's extremely smooth and stable with great battery life. I'm hoping someone can suggest a ROM for the Galaxy S Vibrant that's considered extremely stable and smooth with great battery life. I'm not really concerned about quadrant scores, just want stability and smoothness with lagfix like my 4G running ICBINB. Thanks.

Try ZenDroid. Very fast and stable with excellent battery life.

Lol this is a spamfest but...CM7. End of story.
And the Vibrant is actually a better device (with much more ROM/dev support) than your GalaxyS 4G unless you are concerned about the data network.
Bi-winng V3, zero issues, very fast and stable. Kernel has overclock ability. Dev is super nice guy and it has great support.
Almost all the froyo roms are perfectly stable and fast with great batt life... gingerbread isnt incredibly stable but its FAST and cm7 is great but youll have to deal with lack of gps and batt drain, so i suggesr froyo roms like bionix 1.3.1 or project v5
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
Anyone suggesting Gingerbread is leading you astray per your criteria.
Honestly, Trigger (2.2.. not the one based on CM7) would be my suggestion, or Project-V.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I will definitely go with one of the froyo roms, Thanks again!
I also used project v with bali kernal and was very happy.
Currently running GingerZen_RC3. I am having some issues with the GPS, but I'm will ing to make that sacrifice. No other issues at all with GingerZen.

GingerZen is pretty nice, but Dev On Hold until a JVR kernel is out
Can someone confirm a working gps on revamped, project v, or trigger 2.3?

[Q] Which GB ROM?

Hello,
I have got the itch to try a GB ROM again. I'm currently running Project V and it's great, but i want some change. I tried CM7 RC1 when it first came out and couldn't deal with the horrible battery life. But I figure it's been quite a while so things may have improved since then. What would be everyone's suggestion on the best one? I don't like crazy themes or anything. I'm just looking for a stock GB look with decent battery life and stability. Thanks in advance!
I want to know this too!

Simply Honey is way over-themed for my liking.
If over themed you mean completely then yes it probably is. Sorry didn't mean to make the UI uniform.

Calm down now, it's nothing personal. I'm sure it runs just fine. I just like the stock GB look.
The cm7 have drastically improved battery is on part with most other GB roms. I personally love Miui revamped LE it is incredibly fast and the developers are extremely active in the forum. Along with that they update the ROM every Friday and you always think there is no way it can get better but somehow they always seem to exceed expectations

Biffmod
I personally find Simply Honey to be a bit much as well (no offense explodingboy, just not to my taste). So, leaning toward a stock-ish ROM, I recommend Biffmod Vibrant. It's basically CM7, but with a bunch of tweaks to fix the common complaints and a stock look. Here are the changes:
Features:
*Mix of AOSP/cm7 - 2.3.5
*black launcher2
*black camera
*notification widgets
*overclock capable kernel (1.7ghz)
*voodoo color and sound
*BLN/LED Notifications (on by default, the BLN app is not compatible)
*Ricktips
*glitch kernel HL thanks TK-Glitch

I've been using it ever since I switched from my HD2 to the Vibrant, and it's a dream. The only issue I've encountered is a "problem" with the overclocking: the kernel says it can go up to 1.7Ghz, but in my experience it tops out at about 1.4Ghz before the phone starts to freeze up. Other than that, like I said, it's great—I fully recommend it.

I just wanted to chime in, I've tried your rom before and it was fantastic (in fact, i think it was the first one to have bln fixed when all the other roms had broken bln). However, I was past my honeycomb theme phase and is looking for a more stock gb (or close to it) look now. I constantly search for themes for your rom that can make it look like stock but to no avail I think if you added a stock theme zip, you will be able to increase your user base by quite a significant amount of people.
It's great--I easily go a whole day with moderate to heavy Wifi usage (I don't have data) without having to plugin.

I ended up flashing Biffmod last night. It is amazing so far. So smooth and I haven't had a single issue yet. I also ended up flashing the newest Bali Kernel and have it UV'ed quite substantially. We'll see how it does on battery.
Thanks for the advice.
I personally prefer CM7 or Bionix 1.3.1
Every GB rom I've tried has not had a working GPS. I travel for a living so I need this to work. I have since gone back to 2.2 so my GPS works but out of curiosity, is there a GB rom/kernel that supports reliable GPS functionality?
I could be wrong but I think some of the gps work. GPS worked fine for me on Simply Honey 5.0, which I loved. I liked the themeing, especially the pink theme made to go with it!! I just decided to give Trigger (GB not Froyo) a try and I am equally happy with it. GPS isn't a huge issue for me, but I noticed on Trigger I get locks but they are not accurate, usually within 100ft. I also haven't tweaked any of the settings or tried any of the fixes. There are lots of great GB roms out there...just play around and see what suits you best. My Vibrant has always had great gps I've read that some GPS just don't work well on Vibrants.
I personally really like the AOSP GB Roms, Trigger, CM7 and MIUI are all great... have not tried Biffmod yet, but I intend to sometime.
Kernel-wise, I really like Glitch V11 HL
No problem!

It's not a kernel issue. It's just that your vibrant cant handle the overclock as all devices overclock and undervolt differently
