[Q] Are there no kernels at all for Gingerbread roms? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anything but cmenards bullet kernel for GB. I know everyone thinks its the end all but I would like SOMETHING else to play with and compare. I have heard of another but cant remember the name anymore. Please dont flame me if this is a stupid question lol.

Yes, go look in the dev section

there's 3 for jvp i think, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5
some jvp 1's will work from i9000 forums but they'll mess up button mapping

It all depends on your preferences. Read some of the posts regarding the different ROMs and developers to see what you are looking for. Personally, I like Axura, but I have tried all of the others and some are stronger than others in different areas. I just boils down to what you like.
Happy flashing.
1. wrong section
2. ROM preferences vary from people to people. try as many as you want and decide what's best for you!
Here hope this helps:

[Q] When installing darkys rom avatar becomes outdated

I have tested this I went from bionox to darky 9.3 and avatar stopped working.... Other wise i absolutely love the rom... I have tried clear the dfn cach and booting twice but nothing. I cant post yet in the forum was hoping someone could assist me would love to keep the rom but I find this to be a major annoyance.
thanks for replys
Sorry i cant answer that...i dont use darkys,i tried it awhile back before it was made compatible but never looked back
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Sorry - didnt see it before. Best guess is that Darky's ROM lists itself as a I9000 and not a T959 (Vibrant). Did the I9000 come with Avatar? IF it didn't, I bet the DRM blocks it from playing.
Thanks its the fact that it is a ported rom

What's the best ROM out right now???

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!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
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

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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
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

Why does gingerbread performance suk on the vibrant?

Everyone keeps stating the vibrant has issues with battery on gingerbread...... if this is a driver issue, can't these be borrowed from a phone with the same/similar hardware but is on gingerbread? And why doesn't Samsung at least release the nessary drivers so the phone can be supported seeing as they don't seem to be willing to put gingerbread out for it......
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This has been answered a million times dude. First we dont even have a leak or anything for the vibrant, were using the 4g's leak which is different codes, different radio's etc. Blame T-Mobile for dropping support on this phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My questions haven't been answered.... why can't we get the proper drivers from other phones that use the same chips?
There are numerous other galaxy s phones..... where all the same chips (other than the radio )will be the same! GPS, CPU, graphics etc. Are the same...... so why can't these items be ripped out of other Roms to make the vibrant 2.3 roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Because no other phone is using the same driver/firmware combo. The closest things we have are the captivate and i9000 which both use different radios. Same is true of the vibrant 4g.

The captivate is very close to ours.. the issues ive seen with gingerbread seems to be more than the smal.hardware differences of radios and such, so if there is a more clear answer what the big problems really are, im curious.
since they just leaked the 2.3.4 for captivate I was hoping we would have a better Ginger coming.. or at least should be a good sign that ours(leaked Ginger) can't be far behind right?

I'm not sure what exact answer you're looking for but the differences don't end at the radio.
The accelerometer on the captivate is turned 90° which would need to be fixed in the kernel.
The radio differences render the GPS useless without the same hack that we presently have.
The button layout is slightly different though an easy fix.
Using a captivate firmware is no different than using the i9000 firmware. Just because the phones look alike doesn't mean a thing. Once you start looking beyond the outer physical appearance you'll understand that the Vibrant is rather unique. Of course there are work arounds and hacks but nothing that we aren't presently doing. Without someone stepping up on a regular basis and compiling kernels that implement certain fixes or without a leak of our own nothing changes.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I guess I meant the problems the current roms have for many people. GPS is a given, never could get it working properly, but instability and atrocious battery life would make me think we were using a ported rom from a totally different phone.
I guess the thing I'm wondering, if there's been 2 Ginger leaks for captivate, then a vibrant source must be in the works and can't be far behind right?
It is amazing that you devs have managed to overcome all of the issues that you have, something the OP really needs to realize.. most thought it unlikely or impossible that ginger would be working as well as it is..
