Don:t use the Gingerbread leak! It could ruin your SD card! I recommend Community ROM 2.1 or Evil Fascination 3.6.0.

Cum guzzler.
Now tell me what was more useless, my post, or his? You didn't have to be a douche and tell him it's a useless post. It's just in the wrong section.
As for the actual question, why not try jt's CM7? It's very stable and I've been using it without issue. Though it does have the same bugs as the MIUI ROM.

Okay, I guess I wasn't clear in my last response to you so let me rephrase what I said in that other thread:
There is no good reason whatsoever to use DJ05. Even if you want to run Eclair, it's still outdated.
Why you'd choose Eclair over Froyo (or Gingerbread, if you don't mind some problems) is a mystery to me, but again, even if you want to run 2.1 instead of 2.2 or 2.3 DJ05 is the wrong choice.
EDIT: Also, as the above poster hinted at, please do read the stickied posts, particularly this one about posting in the wrong section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038478

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.

Sorry abut postin in the wrong place

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..

Hello! I am new to this forum. I have a Samsung Vibrant (SGH-T959), which I successfully upgraded to Froyo.UVKA6. How do I upgrade further, to Gingerbread (Android 2.3)? I tried to Root my phone using that one-click rooting program, but I guess I was doing something wrong, and it didn't work (three times). Thank you for your response.
No official 2.3 yet
and no stable 2.3 (?) for normal daily use yet

he said "no official 2.3" CM7 isn't official but i suggest the OP tries out CM7 its fast, a few bugs, that will be fixed by the dev team, but besides that... its great!
Since there was a samsung gingerbread leak for i9000 a few days ago. I imagine we will see a vibrant leak soon.

With All due respect, perhaps you should just stick to 2.2 for now. While CM7 is a semi-viable option it is a bit more complex than flashing many of the more "standard" 2.2 roms.
Be patient, there are many custom roms you could look into that will surely boost your phones potential greatly while you wait for 2.3 builds to grow and develop.
Try out Bionix Version 1.3 (I believe) or Trigger 2.7. Those are my personal favorites. Right Now I am using a 2.2.1 Rom called Sweet Honey, which is great, but I haven't had enough time with it to give a proper judgment.
Look at the more stable options first, get used to things, learn how to use Odin, about download mode, the different recoveries, even about jigs (if needed); before you dive head first into this cesspool of amazing roms, kernels, themes and talented developers. There's a lot of options that are far less likely to brick your phone.
This thread is a good way to start.

TV-out is not working on this build either which sucks because wiimote works. just cannot seem to get both worlds working for some classic gameplay without toting a frign PC(laptops included) around.
I've been really thinking of moving from 2.2 Official Froyo to CM7, but I don't know which one to move to. Should I go with Nightly or Stable? I don't know the difference between to two and what I'm mainly focusing on is the battery performance. Some say they get amazing battery life with CM7, and some say the battery life is total garbage.
To all of you who have used CM7 or still use it, which one should I move to and how is the battery life on each of them? Thanks!
Just yesterday I was at 13hours I'm on build 168 I believe

Hey there, welcome to the forums.
Well, first of all.. tell me a little bit.
What are you looking for?
Speed? Good Battery Life? Froyo, Gingerbread? Do you care? GPS? etc.
personally bionix 1.3.1 was my favorite for froyo, but if you want Ginger cm7 nighty is the way to go. miui is popular, but for the most part, it turns the vibrant into something completely. . . different.
flash away man. see what works for you. the vibrant is virtually unbrickable.

I use Toxic8 with Bali X 1.2kernel (gingerbread theme) and it is snappy, stable and battery lasts really well. Quadrant (although I despise it) gives about 2000 average.
I even used the GPS to get me to somewhere that MapQuest failed big time. Place was so far out that the roads didn't have names anymore, just numbers. But GPS took me right to the front door.
I'll try it out. Can you send me the links?

I've gone from Cyanogenmod7 to Trigger to Toxic Crazy 8. Cyanogen was horrible, as I was still a noob and it was terribly buggy then.
I suggest toxic Crazy 8. Flashed it a couple weeks ago, and it's beautiful. I decided to stay with Froyo because it's been around longer (more time to perfect it) and it's much more battery efficient. I get 44 hours of light use out of my phone, on one charge (Screenshots soon, I'm busy now...) It's also super smooth, just follow their install instructions. I've never had it lag and I can't stress how amazingly smooth it is.... xD Have fun flashing! Just keep some backups handy...
Edit: I failed to mention I'm running on Bali, OC'd to 1.2 Ghz (It came with Toxic, and I have no reason to change)
Here's Toxic Crazy8
Ok, sorry to bring this Q here. I know i know - go look, search, find out. I hear you.
Been researching for a full day. But somethings require YOUR experience.
I am looking for a stable (!), good-battery (!) and bare-bone (minimal) ROM for my Vibrant.
(maybe my hate from running background stuff comes from ignorance, since I am no wiz when it comes to android)
I use GMAIL, Whatsapp, and Google Voice, and I can't stand running processes
Is there a ROM that you know to be made with this in mind?
Thanks !!!
Bionix 2.2
