try them both for a few days, see which works best for you
I've had immense success with KB5.
Sent from my Vibrant using my fingers.
It's going to vary between users because of different devices and even because of your location. I'd try both like one user said and see which works best. But I wouldn't stop with just those two because KB1 has been very good too. That one was best for me until KB5 came out.
Put KB5 down on me

The is not 1 concrete answer,i run Axura and is fast has great GPS and battery life,but some complain about battery life with it,you have to try and see what best for you,Nero 3 and Eugene ginger clone R2 are also say to be fast and good,but i haven't try them yet.
Venture and try more than one so you can see for your self which is better.
welcome to xda but questions go in the q&a section. i would prefer you to do a little reading so you get what you want first try. there are plenty of roms and really its a slew if you check out different versions. what you are looking for is a modem to flash. check out my sig. click the pic
You just gotta tinker man. Try them all and see what you like. Start with Nero v3 and go from there. You can also try flashing different modems and kernels to experiment with speed and battery life. It's all relative, dude. No one ROM works for all. Good luck, and hit up the Q&A section and utilize the search function often. Damn near any question you have has been answered.

try learning how to use Odin first, once you know how to do recovery via Odin, you can start trying out different ROMs.. I tried almost everything in this forum.. as of now my daily driver is Nero v3 with TW..
Ya I figured out how to use odin cuz when I first bought my phone I just started tryin it without fully understanding everything and when I flashed it I had no data signal so I read alot and used odin to go back to stock.

I am on Nero v3 by TW as well. I have found no reason to even try something else a this point, of course that could change tomorrow. lol I find Nero V3 to be very fast and stable and the GPS works as well as any rom I have tried. Also I seem to get good reception with it.
I've tried almost all the roms out and was on nero v3 for a while but went back to Macnut R14. Flashed the jl5 voodoo kernel and the jl5 modem and this is my favorite thus far.
LEARN HOW TO ODIN BEFORE YOU FLASH. Read on ODIN, then READ some more. Try all the ROMs
Usually stock kernels are the better battery wise. The GPS performs more or less the same in all roms. Some roms are faster, but you will pay the price on battery life.
Axura, and Eugene's are using lightly to non modified kernels that give you great battery life also.
Be careful with OC kernals, many phones do not support them, and you are gonna enter in a loop and you are going to freak out.
After that, which kernel to use is mostly your taste. Some of them bring different themes and apps.
IT is all about test and evaluate yourself.......
Thanx for helpin I think I am ginna start wit nero v3 and then just take it from there. If by the loop u mean it just keeps rebootin I have done that when tryin to use odin to go back to stock. Lol I figured it out though pretty eady lol. Thanx every1.

You should use Titanium Backup for your apps.. but you have to do backup before you flash and then recover after flashing..
So im runnin nero v3 wit voodoo now. I like it. A lil better wit the batt and everything but not much. How else can I enhance everyrhing and make it better?

I personally would say either jk2 or jl4 some people really like jl5 but I received horrible battery with it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm running Nero v3 with JL5, and I get great battery life. I also read of a lot of people getting great life with JK6. From what I can tell it varies from phone to phone.
Honestly, The best advice is to test different ones and see what works best for you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Jl5 works best for me.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Of the stock Froyo kernels, the best combo was the JK6 Voodoo kernel and the JL5 modem. JK6 modem actually got better battery life, but it had a problem in which it would get stuck on EDGE if I left the 3G coverage area, and wouldn't reconnect to 3G without a reboot.
The best battery life I've ever seen on my Vibrant is still with Eclair + JAC XMOD kernel + JK6 modem, but again, there's that 3G reconnect problem. I'm using Eclair + JAC XMOD + JI2 modem right now, and my battery life is excellent.
Yeah, I'm not upgrading to Froyo/Gingerbread until Samsung releases the source code. None of the Froyo ROMs behave properly on my recalcitrant phone.
Im running bionic rom which is great compared to stock 2.2 but my data is really slow.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is because Bionix V uses KA7 modem and that is TERRIBLE when it comes to reception and data.
Flash a KA5 modem. Look under the dev forums for the clockwork flashable download.
That will fix your data and improve your reception.
Will do thanks, anyone else have suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I think you should use the JL5 modem I got crazy speed on my vibrant. Indoors I would get like 2.5mbs down and outdoors I get like almost 5mbs. Crazy good and I can't complain about battery life but maybe that's because I got a spare battery
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
We all seem to have differnt luck with different modems.
KA7 is the best for me followed by KA5 and JK6 but your mileage may vary.
this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
has them all. Try 'em all out untill you find the best for you.
Its gonna be a crap shoot depending on where you live...My data was out for 6 days until this morning and I can only get Edge so the KA7 is working good for me and I ve tried em all.
Mileage may vary seems the best answer for sure. JL1 works best for me. No idea why but data screams. KA6 was alright, KA7 blows. everything else was just average.

Have you try factory reset? That seems to work for some people.
Or you can try flash modem to which ever version that works best for you. It seems to work for most phones...except few oddballs out there.
Asking won't help much, you just gotta test it to know which is best for your phone. KA6, KA7 all works for me.

Not that TERRIBLE. BOTH works for me just fine. KA7, I did not have to do clear anything.
Tried all them and so far ka5 is ok.. Ka7 has fast gps lock but slow data, ka6 has fast data, fast gps lock but very innacurate, telling me im 30 miles from where I really am. Jk6 has extremely fast data but no gps lock at all. Then theres the ka5 which gives me decent data speed and fast gps lock. Does the modem really have anything to do with gps ?

what is the the best 2.2 modem for data connection? i know the more data, the less battery, but i dont care... i know JL1 was the best, but since with KA7 and so on. whats the best for data?
KA7 seems to be great.

I'm currently using the latest Sombionix Rom and I want to check out some others. Can u guys point me in the right direction please... Thank u!!!

All of them lol cm7 , trigger, bionix, and bi winning with bullllllllllet .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I started with Bionix but I just recently flashed Trigger. Trigger is pretty rad.
Same here. Ran several versions of Bionix, got bit by the flashing bug and switched to Trigger. Been running the Overstock kernel for a while but am about to try out Bali.
Let me answer your question with a question:
Which make of car is the best?
If this thread stays serious long enough you will find, like most "Which is the best (insert any tangible object here)?" threads, every ROM will get a few hits.
/sarcasm off
On a serious note I have gone between Eugene's ROMs, Sombionix's ROMs and a few of EDT's ROMs. They all have their perks and for some they all have their short comings. If you want the custom ROM feel with a relatively painless installation, go with the one of the above. If you want something a little more custom go with MiUi or CM7 or a few of the other projects.
I personally use Trigger 2.9.4 with OverStock 2.x and enjoy it quite a lot. In the past I've enjoyed Eugene's MacNut series, nearly all of Som's 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs and EDT's Flagship and Trigger.
tl;dr
Pick one yourself and see how it goes, restoring from a backup isn't all that difficult.

The devs in this forum are so amazing, and their ROMs of such quality, that you owe it to yourself to try them all to find out which you like the most.
well since its already been said like 5 times, I'm just going to agree that I put on trigger 3 rom a few weeks ago and have been running overstock kernel for a while before that. but the 2 together. un-freaking believably awesome.
I repeat.. *ehem*
UN-FREAKING BELIEVABLY AWESOME
