Which rom would be prefferable(speedy), Nero v5, Bionix Frost 2.2.1 or SweetHoney? I have tried Nero v5 and I liked the tweaks, just wondering if those two roms were faster. Thanks for responding.
The one that shall not be named.
I think best rom is ROM Hybrid SGS II JVP v. III
if you want froyo then bionix 1.3.1 with overstock kernel and kb5 modem is one of the best in my opinion. i would say suck it up and upgrade to miui but its currently not working for alot of people. me included
I have tried Nero v3, NextGen Frost, and now running DarkyRom 9.5 ported over by Tunefoo. So far the DarkyRom has proved to be the fastest of the 3.
Going to try Simple Honey next after the next version comes out this weekend.
Bionix 1.3.1 and overstock for eva! BTW If you want Avatar use stock kernel with bionix!
Try them all and pick your favorite.

Absolutely agree! The only opinion that counts is your own. Try a couple and see what you like best!
Roms
Although all ROM's have their ups and downs, My favorite rom of all time is ToxicBaby3SlimV2, anything by the Toxic gang is awesome but this one is by far the fastest one yet. With quad scores of 2400+ Its smooth as butter and super reliable for your daily rom, GPS works pretty well and it comes with a ton of different color themes for you to pick from. You can even nandroid all of them and switch from day to day to match how your feelin. Also another good rom is Revolution Rom 1.0 SGS2/AOSP (JVP 2.3.4) One of the first Gingerbread roms with AWESOME GPS! Its fast and responsive. But really just do some flashing of your own and check things out, like I said they all have their ups and downs.
+1 for Revolution Rom 1.0
I went from 2.1 to 2.2, back to 2.1 to do all the good stuff and backup my 2.1, then jumped to bionix 1.3.1, then to project V.
I feel for some reason, that bionix 1.3.1 was faster and my battery life was better than on project V, despite project V working very nicely.
Thus far, the bionix 1.3.1 was the best for my needs, but I'm still only a rom noob without much trying of other roms.
I was on Bionix 1.3.1 with Dragon Kernel for a long time and I loved every second. If you are wanting Froyo, that is definitely the one to use. Some of the Gingerbread ROMs are pretty awesome these days, and you get the added bonus of having Netflix on your phone which is pretty cool.
Hey has any of you guys tried Bionix 1.3.2 test, I saw it at
http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2829
and here is the direct link for it too. https://sourceforge.net/projects/bionix ... p/download
I see that sombionix said that it is an incomplete project. But if you guys have used this ROM is it better then 1.3.1 and what is the major difference between 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. do you think that there would be any problems with this ROM?
Thanks in advance

I am currently running kaosfroyo-v36, and its pretty good. I am fairly new to rooting my droid, ive only tried out 2 roms so far and both were fairly good. I understand how rooting works, not quite sure if i get how the kernel works or how to add it to my phone. To get back to my question, What rom do you feel is the most stable rom out thats still speedy?
Thanks!
stability id go with froshedyo
and for speed id go with Dual rom
Thanks for your your input!
IMHO, xtrSENSE and xtrROM are the most stable ROMs out there that I've tried. Everything just works, of course, they're 2.1-based so it doesn't include Froyo features or CM-specific enhancements to Froyo.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds. No offense to anyone. I'm currently using CELBFroyo.
I would definitely go with CELB =) Fast, Stable.
FroShedYo is working Very good for me, upped to version 8. It has decent speed, a great built in CPU monitor and all the goodness of Cyanogen. It is very stable, no crashes in the month or so I have stuck with it. Typical dropped call that isn't really dropped, but it picks back up and does a good job.
I agree on xtrROM. It's super fast and extremely stable. Of course, it's 2.1. I'm on CELBFroyo, and after a week there haven't been any hiccups. It's got nice speed and CPUBoost is a nice addition.
I've also used NonSenSIKal which is pretty solid.
for the most part, its really personal preference. Give some ROMs a test run and see how they work out for you. I've always been switching up ROMs, but I've stuck with CELBfroyo for about a month now, and its running very well for me.
p.s. dont forget to nandroid before you start flashing
Can't tell you why but I've tried quite a few including FroShedYo and CELB but Floyo Tazz has been the fastest/smoothest for me.
Tazz Froyo
I have tried alot of Roms and Tazz Froyo has been my favorite, it has conaps new kernel which helps with battery life and lagging on the phone, built in cpu governors( no need for SetCPU) Gingerbread keyboard, which is very responsive and has a excellent predictive text function, MIUI music which is a updated stock music app, you can make phone calls and send texts from the lockscreen, no complaints at all with the ROM.

Nonsensikal is my daily ROM but I have used froshedyo's V6 through V8 as an alt from time to time because it is easy to theme. Both are very stable solid ROMs you'll be happy with either one.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I am now using froshedyo v8 and its pretty quick and i like the fact that it has cayanogen with it.Very cusomizable and fairly quick! Once again thanks to all posters!

Woo Hoo!
workshed, your rom rocks! igot a couple questions about modifying some things.. Themes, icons, wallpaper, fonts, boot image, etc. Where should i post?
Workshed can correct me if I'm wrong but his Rom is very similar to tazzs roms, with floyo being a port from a hero Rom and tazz froyo being allot like sheds Rom. All eris' are different so run what your phone likes the most. Mine likes tazz froyo more than floyo and I haven't had the time to try sheds Rom but I know he did a great job on it.

I concur ... i tried a couple others before i settled on CELB ... fast, stable, efficient, plays well with other custom apps... also cleared up space.

My vote is for CELB, i've used EE and sensable and i have found CELB to be the fastest and most bug free. If i've ever had a problem conap has either already commented about it in his thread or he or someone else direct me to the solution. Not knocking anyone else, just my personal experience.
I'm a big fan of KaosFroyo.. I do always flash the latest CFS kernel over it though. I have tried 4 or 5 other roms as well, but always come back to kaos
i've ran evil eris 3.0 for a really long time. i loved that rom and now i've been on v37 for the past couple months. v37 of kaosfroyo rom but starting to get bored of it and want more speed. maybe i'll just end up getting a new phone soon.
Hi all,
I have been out from the forums for awhile, been very busy with work and such. I remember the last time I upgraded my rom was sometime in May or June. I switched to Trigger 3.0.1.
I assume for those months a lot better ROMs are out there for the Vibrant. Could you help me out and tell the the 2-3 popular ones? Or should I not touch the Trigger 3.0.1?
when i first started doing all these things to my phone i starteed with bionix 1.2.1. that was for like 3 months then went to trigger 08/22. it had EXTREMELY good battery life if you get bali 2.2.1 and undervolt. liked bionix alot but still testing
I'd say stick to non-Gingerbread... there's a Darky's 9.4 or 9.5 port out there from Team Toxic (2.2.1 rom) and Simply Galaxy (2.2.1) by explodingboy70 which are really awesome and stable. Try one of those, perhaps?
OK, so I should stick to a 2.2.1 ROM... good to know.
i've been running bionix-v for close to a year now and since then have been out of the loop. what's the consensus top tier of roms currently, and should i update to a newer android (ICS? idk) since i am on a VERY old version (on android 2.2!)
I like cm7 nightly. Works well, gps works for me, battery is okay. Get around twenty hours. I get random battery drains though when I'm using meebo or
something
I've flash so many roms and fell in love with miui for a long time
I'm so sick of all the aggravations of things working and not working blah blah.....I just went back to bionix myself 2 days ago and I now have a new found love for everything working as it should
But everyone should play around and enjoy the differences.

i found bionix not very snappy, and im stuck on froyo. surely the gingerbread/ics offers some better upgrades?
MIUI (based on 2.3.7 gingerbread), without a doubt. And to make your life easier here's a link to my guide that will take you through all the steps on getting your phone to run the custom firmware. MIUI is easily customizable, smooth, and stable. Then when you add the Glitch kernel to the mix you get a truly amazing result (Increased speed + Amazing Battery). I used to use Bionix and it was great, but MIUI offers so much more.
The pace at which the ICS ROMs are improving is pretty awesome, and definitely something to get excited about. I never really bothered with Gingerbread, everytime I tried a 2.3 ROM I ended up going back to 2.2 within a week. Currently trying the I9000 ICS port, but my fallback is usually Toxic Crazy8 with a GB theme slapped on.
2.3 has worse battery life than 2.2. The ICS roms are coming along nicely, but not really a daily yet (in my opinion). I would try out Team Toxics JCCs D9. its on rc2 and the final should be up today or tomorrow. It has great battery and is very snappy. link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360502
There is an ICS port in the making. The creator being neobuddy89. However it is in the beta stages and not something you'd want to use as a daily rom. Still you should check it out, it looks really nice and is very smooth. I'll post a link in a few...

I agree with you...its not very snappy at all...was startung to really miss miui lol until i found crazy 8 and i am loving it....hoping its the one for me lol...otherwise ill be back to miui
Bionix wasn't the snappiest, but I found that the NextGen V2 had the same theming and was much smoother. From my experience it had some stuttering issues from a lack of RAM though.
I'm interested in trying the new Phiremod as well though, I like the theming on it.

Just took a look at it and it looks really nice. Thinking I might go and give it a whirl later this week.
i would like to be sure
Every rom Freaking sucks! The best is to Use the stock one! What im saying is that every rom has its bugs so every rom is bad.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the best Rom for me ,everything works and its smooth and fast.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
Bionix 1.3.1 is the most stable and time-tested but its pretty outdated.
CM7 if you want updated and decent stability (though theres that e911 issue)
The ICS Roms are very smooth and stable enough for me, ICS is amazing!
im using the ICS passion with the glitch karnel . battery sux ;/

Glitch is a PREVIEW kernel and doesn't officially support anything besides CM9.
I don't think dev was too concerned about battery life for a preview, just implementing new features.
Thanks
Damnn now im like lost, idk what to flash, i want something , something fast, and that the battery wont died quick, I tried,
Trigger + Overstock = Worked great.
Bionix + Overstock = Worked great.
Crazy8 + Immortality = Worked Great.
now idk which one to pick lol
I've tried the Passion ICS rom and it is superb but I miss the Samsung Camera app.
Is there any SGS II stable port?
If not, Im gonna download the most stable modified stock rom, I'm thinking of Bionic, correct me if Im wrong.
Bionix with overstock is quite the dream.. if flashing unstable stuff isnt your cup of tea, you can't go wrong with that combo

Unfortunately there hasn't been a perfect 2.2.1 rom yet!
been using the lithium 360 for the past month or more. have liked it better than the generic CM series, but that's gone away now anyway. I'm liking the MIUI based setups though. Maybe it's the different perspective of dropping the Apps menu driven system like so many other interfaces still have.
Been seriously pondering loading the Passion ICS for a while, but may wait until it comes off beta.
Hi, I've got a Vibrant on T-Mobile and recently got myself an SGS2 and am giving the Vibrant to my pops.
It's currently running neobuddy89's ICS Passion v13 w/ patch. (Thanks to him and everyone else who worked on it btw! awesome rom!)
Anyways, I was wanted to get some input on what a good rom would be for someone who has never had a smart phone before. I'm looking for something thats super stable and has awesome battery life while still being user friendly.
Any and all opinions are welcome.
Bionix 1.3.1 is super stable and has great battery life, but its a 2.2 rom
hmm i think i've tried that version of bionix before. if it's the one im thinking of, i liked it a lot. thanks for the input.
From experience it is easier to be running a rom you have used, or are using I keep my mom's vibrant on the same rom I am on just so I can help her if an issue arises, but if you are moving to a different phone pick on that is super stable
You make a very good point with that; It would likely be troublesome to potentially have to learn the ins and outs of two new roms.. have you tried any of the CM roms?
I used cm7 for quite a while, but gps sucks and I have run into random issues but I guess that happens on all roms. I suggest staying where you are and every once and a while updating the rom once an update comes out
yeah its battery life im really after and ics passion's isnt bad but its not the best i do remember that with bionix v, i went up to 2 days without charging with moderate use sometimes. lol
It depends if he reads off his phone at night honestly. If you use bionix or any 2.2 rom your eyes get blasted every screen touch by the capacitive buttons, not so on 2.2.1 roms. If he does read at night I recommend bi-winning with the sgs2 theme. Very polished and mature in my opinion. With Bali undervolt his battery life will be stellar.

CM is officially supported on the Vibrant again. Changes and link to latest nightly here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd
I'm running build 229. Haven't tried GPS yet, but everything else seems to work.
Well, first, you could always flash back to stock. I'm pretty sure that's the most stable ROM, ha. Otherwise, I liked Bionix and CM. Both were very smooth and everything worked, as far as I can remember. You could also try Lithium Volt, but I haven't gotten to do much testing stability wise.
i would say bionix as they mentioned before on this thread. simply becuase it's been put up to the test by many and is known to be stable and has great batt life.
all the new roms are still being tested and still have bugs and well since it's for your dad i would assume he just needs something stable not anything flashy and wild.
+1 bionix with bail UV
