[Q] CM7 vs OMGB vs OMFGB: which should I go with? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on CommRom 2.1 still, and I want to upgrade to AOSP GB, but I don't know which ROM to install. MMS is a must, as is good battery life, and I want the one with the best working sensors. Please enlighten me. Thank you.

That would be CM7, it has working sensors. OM(F)GB does not, but is still really smooth if you can deal with it. Both have working mms.

Okie dokie, that's what I figured. Thanks

Ok guys...we need ROMeOS for CDMA, someone please!

... any love here?
Enlighten me - what does that rom do that none of the other current roms for the CDMA TP can do?
I'm running Mighty Rom at the moment, and don't feel like I'm missing much.

pretty much, I've used Scott's VZW TP ROM, which is really fast and Dream Phyre's DREAM ROM which is faster...yet when I seen that YouTube video of how freakin' fast ROMeOS2 was, that was pretty much the reason I bought the TP come to find out I would need an alternative to achieve that crazy speed that he has in his rom, hence me using Scott's and Dream's. Problem seems solved by ROMeOS. Am I just aiming at I brick wall, or is this correct?
Want something fast? Build something on your own or get a bare rom and add what you want on top of it. Try GC's rom, it's pretty bare and then just add one what you want.

[Q] What are the top ROMs right now for the Vibrant ?

Sorry if i reposted the thread, but I've been looking around all day and im trying to find a ROM with 2.3 firmware, long battery life and something that looks really good. Any suggestions ?
CM7 is nice. Not sure about long battery life though.(wasn't good for me, but probably possible to make it better)
Bionix Next Gen, Trigger, and CM7 in no particular order. I have yet to find a 2.2.1 ROM I've been happy with.
Edit: If you want 2.3 it's definitely CM7.
i have a similar question but looking for the stock samsung skin with gingerbread, does this exist? this is for my blind dad that needs enormous text.
Yes ive tried CM7. It was alright but the battery life is horrible, and I wanna try something new
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
test drive my galaxyy extreme
the trigger &bionix are still 2.2 and as i said i've tried CM7

is this what you were looking for ? i flashed this and im currently running it, its pretty good i guess, but im still looking for 2.3 firmware
well cm7 is out but not stable tho. is there a particular reason for 2.3 ?

try this one. its from Team EDT.
very smooth, only thing lacking is GPS. if u can live without it, it would be the best choce for 2.3

Before you get flamed for posting in the dev forum, I will try to answer your Q...
Right now each of the GB roms are going to have their flaws and bugs. Not because of the devs creating them, but because more than likely this isn't the final GB release that we are going to see. What I would recommend is make a nandroid backup of your current setup through CWR and flash a couple different ones and see which works for you. I personally am waiting for the BAMF rom to drop as they seem to always put out really great roms. Not that the others are bad, I am just sticking to what I know and like.
As for Netflix, I have heard it only works on CM7 right now as well. I am sure it will be tweaked at a later date though. Right now the priorities are set on getting a stable rom out first with the basics running.
Hope this helps.
Not to be rude but all your questions Would be easily answered by doing very little research.

Xgo was right. You could have easily asked this in their threads as well.
BAMF + Gingerbread = #winnering, even in early alpha/beta stages. Thats what I use, FWIW.
Forgive the man for asking for actual users opinions... Hes a terrible person for doing so and should be shunned............... ok now that thats over with. I would say the BEST one is probably the actual gingerbread leak with the camera fix is probably the most stable at the moment. Since the software just came out the other day none of the ROMs are gonna really be any good. Netflix doesn't work on any of the Thunderbolt ROMs it only works on CM7 because its not based off of Thunderbolt code.
check out the GB roms listed on the official rom + kernel thread in the dev section. different roms for different preferences.

Is anyone else having problems not getting 3g with the new radio with gingerbread rom? if so what can i do to fix this?
BAMF 2.0 is the best for me. YMMV.
I've been having success with gingeritis lately. I'm really loving the 3g Lte handoffs with the GB radio too.

Mine works with Gingeritis. I flashed the rom 2x before booting and wiped probably 3 imes not including the auto wipes built into Chingy's install. My transition from LTE (orlando) to 3G (the beach) was smooth and problem free. I havent had a single reboot...
Its pretty awesome for initially being alpha.

2.1 0r 2.3 for Eris?

I am rooting this phone for a friends mom. I know she isn't gonna be too particular or even know the difference in anything no matter what I do. I just want to flash something for her that is better than stock and won't cause her any problems afterwards. I don't have a lot of time to research everything but have a good idea where we stand with the Eris.
My question is simple I hope, basically just if I just want a good simple ROM with nearly no problems would it be best to go with [ROM]Plain_JaneT2 V2.0 7/18/10 Stock With everything ROOT!! and just stick with 2.1 or is this phone running good with a CM7 ROM like Condemned?
Also maybe there is a better 2.1 ROM for this phone?
Thanks in advance for whomever will be so nice to answer my question.
***Basically I know CM7 ROM's are still not perfect and I have seen that the Eris hardware isn't really capable enough, I am only going to have this phone once so I will not be performing any kind of fixes or updates to it, What I do to it is what she gets. So I guess if someone can name the best ROM for the job it would really help me out.

If you won't be doing much with it on a regular basis and want to be able to flash and forget I would probably recommend xtr-sense... I know some have been reporting some 3g bugginess lately with my latest ROM. If you want to give one of mine a try though I can post a link for the last most stable version of it that had hardly any issues at all. But as far as 2.1 ROMs I would go xtr myself.

Will be rooting soon, what ROM should I put on my Droid X2?

I haven't rooted my droid X2 yet but I will soon. I was looking at the ROMs and noticed that CM10 has some issues still. What is the recommended ROM to flash that is full featured with nothing missing?

nothing missing ? eclipse. some things missing, but better than cm10 as far as battery life, apps working, and features? cm9 for sure. more reboots, but better performance. just my 2 cents.
i used cm10 for a long time, but got really tired of calls cutting out because of the screen proximity sensor. i switched to cm9 a few months ago and have been on it ever since. it all depends on what you use your phone for really.

just remember there are issues with cm9 it just has a bit more stability then cm 10. if you want everything to work without too much trouble then your gonna want to use eclipse.

if you take a lot of photos, or especially video, or use the web a lot, or mainly on your phone than your computer, if you need your phone to have all web functionality at ALL times, cm9 might not be for you. i was just suggesting the most up to date but usable rom that we have. ECLIPSE is a great rom, but it is gingerbread, kind of outdated as far as features go. but everything on eclipse works. everything.
just depends on what you use your phone for. if you just rooted, and are still on 2.3.4, try cm9 for a day or two. more than likely, youa re on 2.3.5, in which case you may as well just try eclipse first. good luck! let us know how it goes/ any questions you have .
