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.

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.

Way better memory management and overall faster. Supposedly, it's coming this month.

Hey everybody, I just order a Fascinate today and was interested in what ROM you guys/girls prefer to use. Im switching from a droid 2, and previously a droid 1, which had a great ROM community. I think its fantastic that there are so many Galaxy S phones but I think it is unfortunate that Roms are not applicable across models.
In addition to selecting what rom you are using it would be great to say what works great and what is still buggy. Please let me know if I forgot anything.

Welcome to the community!
Personally, I've been using jt1134's Super Clean with AOSP. Bubby323's Magic with AOSP is looking very promising. I tested version 0.2 for a couple days. and I think 0.3 will be a winner.
We're just getting started here in month 2 of the Fascinate's release, and there has already been some spectacular progress, mainly in the kernel department. There are some familiar names from the D1 community at work over here, and once FroYo drops for this phone, things should REALLY take off! (Seriously, who wants to work on a version of the OS that is already out of date, and will be replaced any minute now?)
I am loving that Blue Breeze!
Actually thought there would be more out there by now. Or at least some themes. I am sure, in time!

so how are you liking it compared to your droid 2?
using Zinc V1.0 right now. So far i'm liking it, but there's not a whole lot of difference in anything right now. I've tried jt's clean, blue breeze, aosp magic and Zinc, and they're pretty much all variations on a theme. not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm simply saying whatever you pick you can't go wrong, and it's easy to change anything you don't like about any one of them.
i dont mean to rush the developers by thiis but more a question of curiosity
will the 2.2 froyo rom make it out of beta and into a stable rom with total funcionality?
because i already see a gingerbread rom up too lol how would a gingerbread rom pop up before the froyo was finished?
EDIT -- i get it, stupid question and i apologize if i offended anybody
It's a polite way to say it but its still rude. I have beta 4 for freex10 2.2 and its pretty stable, but it has its bugs. Camera even works with an app called vignette. Camcorder works with videocamera illusion. Its not done but I use it for everyday use without an issue. You should try it.
And I too use beta3 with vignette and. Videcam illusion and no problems at all, no reboots or weird activity or anything....better than what I was getting from 1. 6 or 2.1 that's for sure.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Although 2.3 is out, 2.2 is better than 2.1 in my opinion because of its faster speed. It's much cleaner and without a lot of junk like 2.1 has. The themes are also really cool too. I usually don't find any problems with it much unless you happen to bring something from 2.1 to 2.2 which might screw things up a little.
Since it's so easy why don't you develop a 2.2 rom then?

since i joined xda i have learned alot and done a few mods, but im still a bit skeptical about jumping into a beta rom in case of problems, my phone is something i need to work anytime no excuses.. i cant afford to be caught with a phone that doesnt call out or something
I'm sure z will finish his at some point. As will trip and the others. Just relax at this point and use what you can to speed up 2.1. Once they are final then make a jump. I run the cyanogen combo rom as a daily and haven't had too many bugs but if you need rock solid stability stick with se firmware for now.

You could try a new rom like Cyanogen mod 7. It should work. Also use setcpu with it.

Its dependent on the kernel, not the rom. If the kernel doesn't support higher frequencies then you wont be able to overclock. I'm not aware of any overclock kernels for 2.1 on the aria but somebody else might.

Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Well with that attitude you might aswell get an iPhone, it seems to fit your personality better.
Having said that... normal 2.1 sense without OC is smooth as butter, as is liberated 2.2.2 with and without OC. Or, if sense is what you're complaining about, install CM7 like others have suggested to eliminate it entirely.
I'm sorry you don't like your phone. I always like to try mine out at the store before I buy them.
Well where I got my phone they don't let you try them out. I was just going by what people said on here and else where for my phone choosing.
But the main issue is, I use my phone like a laptop almost. I check xda all the time. I use it for entertainment. I text almost 24/7. I also use it as my only music player, as my mp3 players never last long. But then phone doesn't perform well enough in most or all categories. Iphones kind of do, but I consider them overrated and bland. Even with jailbreak. I like HTC sense because its got enough eye candy, and its very user friendly. I also prefer CM7 as well due to its blazing speeds. But I want to have a phone that suits most of my needs, and I don't know if my thoughts on the inspire are correct or not, but I think it would suit me perfect, as the aria definitely does not.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
You would be better suited to get a phone with a larger screen and armv7 processor. The inspire has both of these although the battery life is not as great out of the box. I would also recommend the Samsung captivate, as it has a super amoled screen but not front facing camera. CM7 has just added support for it as well.
Sent from HTC Aria - CM7 NIGHTLY + Drowning Kernel
Well I don't really need the super quality screen of the captivate, as I'm not a freak on screen quality. But I'm near my charger quite a bit, so bl isn't a giant issue either. My biggest issue is speed and screen size. I have to type in landscape with the aria or I mess up every other word.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
I suggested the Captivate because it has an arguably better screen and can be had for cheaper than the inspire. The inspire will seem awkwardly huge coming from the aria (3.2" vs 4.3"), where as the captivate is still a step up at 4" but easier to handle with one hand. Also with ARMv7 processors you get REAL flash support (10.1+) whereas the Aria (and any other ARMv6 phone) only gets Flash lite 3.1(?) this is a huge caveat for me and will probably be my excuse to upgrade.
Well when I first got the aria, it was because looked down on touchwiz. I wanted a phone I could like out of the box, then root it for more fun. The aria sort of hit that spot, but I think the inspire will hit it out of the park. I really like sense, and thats my main reason for getting a sense phone.

Wondering which gingerbread or miui is the best as far as stability and features? I have been using ef3.6 for some time with no issues but don't want to get left behind if all the new development is going to gingerbread roms. Please anyone let me know which if any of these would be the best to update to.
My goal is not to start any feuds over which rom is better, just to get some educated info so that all functionality works and is stable and battery not draining etc.
thx
just realized this is probably in wrong forum but not sure how to move. soooooo sorry. will try and figure out.
CM7 is a good one to start of with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
Posting in the correct section might help....
He admitted that he made a mistake which makes him better than 99% of posters on here.
As for which rom is best...its very subjective. Cm7 is a good balance between vanilla speed and addons and tweaks. Miui has a really nice ui overhaul and customizations. Om(f)gb are fast pure android goodness but might have a bit more broken.
You can't really go wrong with any of them and what you like best is inherently subjective. So give them all a try I'd sayn.
And if you are happy with ef, there's no need to jump ship right now. Newer might be objectively better but you might prefer to stick with what works. All of the aosp Roms have minor glitches so you could always wait a couple weeks and reevaluate.

I think Bionix is the most solid to date, but thats stating that we haven't perfected a 2.2.1 rom!!!
I am surprised no one has mentioned either Toxic8 or Deranged9. I have had nothing but solid, stable experiences on both if them. I feel that nearly all the Froyos are about as stable as they can get at this point.
ICS has taken over as the flavor most wanted, so not much on the future horizon for Froyo.
They all felt the same....just different features...
