Hi I just got a free used vibrant. I'm gonna use it as a back up phone. My primary is a Galaxy S 4G, running ICBINB. It's extremely smooth and stable with great battery life. I'm hoping someone can suggest a ROM for the Galaxy S Vibrant that's considered extremely stable and smooth with great battery life. I'm not really concerned about quadrant scores, just want stability and smoothness with lagfix like my 4G running ICBINB. Thanks.
Try project v with bali kernal

Try ZenDroid. Very fast and stable with excellent battery life.

Lol this is a spamfest but...CM7. End of story.
And the Vibrant is actually a better device (with much more ROM/dev support) than your GalaxyS 4G unless you are concerned about the data network.
Bi-winng V3, zero issues, very fast and stable. Kernel has overclock ability. Dev is super nice guy and it has great support.
Almost all the froyo roms are perfectly stable and fast with great batt life... gingerbread isnt incredibly stable but its FAST and cm7 is great but youll have to deal with lack of gps and batt drain, so i suggesr froyo roms like bionix 1.3.1 or project v5

Anyone suggesting Gingerbread is leading you astray per your criteria.
Honestly, Trigger (2.2.. not the one based on CM7) would be my suggestion, or Project-V.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I will definitely go with one of the froyo roms, Thanks again!
I also used project v with bali kernal and was very happy.
Currently running GingerZen_RC3. I am having some issues with the GPS, but I'm will ing to make that sacrifice. No other issues at all with GingerZen.

how is that rom?
GingerZen is pretty nice, but Dev On Hold until a JVR kernel is out
Can someone confirm a working gps on revamped, project v, or trigger 2.3?

What do you guys think the best all around rom is? I'm currently running trigger 3.0.0 and battery life and stability is GREAT but it isn't as nice or cool looking as CM7 or MIUI. I've tried almost every rom out there and I can't seem to find the perfect rom with looks, customization AND stability so i want your opinion.
If you can handle no gps, poor battery and not powering off your phone to charge the battery, CM7 is amazing.
I was running CM7 for about two weeks but the battery life was horrible so I switched back to Trigger. It's the best rom in terms of looks and customization but the battery life was bad and I couldn't figure out how to use my FFC. Great rom just not stable enough.

Try the EDT's 2.2.1, also when you say Trigger is not stable you might be doing something wrong.

Oh I was referring to CM7 when I said it isn't stable.
I've been using Bionix 1.3.1 since it came out, and love it.
Stable, fast, great battery, great everything really.
1.3.2 is even better!
Absolutely no hiccups with Bionix 1.3.2
The more I read Bi-Winning is in tip top shape too
running bi-winning with no problems. with overstock kernel. kb5 modem.
BIONIX V 1.3.2....
Runnin' something from TW!
Definitely not Bionix ;] but seriously try Bionix, or TOXIC FIRE (I capitalized it because it's better)

It's almost stupid how outrageously fast it is!
Here I was thinking 1.3.1 was fast, this just blows it away and it hasn't even been officially released by TW yet.
If, as a test, it's this fast I can't even imagine what the final thing will be like!
Bionix is old and ive found trigger to be superior.
But recently ive dropped trigger too in favor of bi-winning since v2 came out
Now im running galaxy xtreme v2.1 and so far it seems to be the absolute smoothest of all the roms ive tried

i usually only use tw roms and highly recommend them but i am trying bi-winning right now and loving it its awsome got some good themes too.
after i went to cm7 the first time i used atriarc then bi-winning. but i'm back on cm7 again. cm7>working gps.
Trigger + overstock kernel is very stable for me with 12 to 15 hours battery life plus a great gps locks within 30s
What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.
CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.
With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.
You could also try Asgard
+1 s15274n to wht he says! i love cm 7
I like Axura, looks good runs great and the battery life is excellent. Also its the only ROM I can get gps to work.
Hey guys thanks I think ill just wait till the bionix gb rom comes out
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Im using M.I.U.I, and i think that its pretty good. My battery life its waay better than with CM7. Its a little (barely noticeable) laggy. I love the themes and apps. I do miss the drawer sometimes, but meh, its just about getting used to not having drawer.
Thanks cm7rocks
Vibrant owns cm7
try Revolution 1.5 rom by ali.
I am using it right now and it is very fast and quite stable too.
I also like Axura a lot, decent battery life and HUGE customization options.

Did someone say MIUI lags? You must be "doing it wrong" because it's a far cry from Froyo when it comes to lag. MIUI is by far the smoothest ROM I've used, and the few issues that exist are pretty minor, at least with build 1.9.23. GPS works great too, if not better than Froyo.
I just picked up a Vibrant, coming from a sprint htc hero, and I'm looking for some opinions on what rom would work best for me.
My main concerns are;
-Stability
-Speed
-working GPS
-battery life (doesn't have to be great, but I don't want to charge twice a day either)
I'm willing to go without some customization options if it means a more stable and fast experience. The phone is currently on the stock 2.1 so my guess is anything will be an improvement. What do you guys suggest?

Some users find that the GPS may never be stable, others don't have any issues.

Any thoughts on the battery life on simply honey? I seem to remember reading some real gripes on the battery use.
Project V with immortality or dead horse kernel is BEAST. It's been running stable for the past 2 weeks.

I haven't ran across toxic7 yet, I'll have to check it out.
I think many will agree, Bionix 1.3.1 is one of the most stable roms created for the vibrant. Pair that up with an undervolted kernel, such as bali, overstock, or superdragon_modz, and you got yourself stability heaven with decent battery life and GPS. My $.02. I'll include the links if you want to check them out.

I'm using Bionix Next Gen 2 with Bali Kernel with no Overclock or Undervolt. It is very smooth and I get around 24hrs with moderate use.

Bionix V with TigersBlood Kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
My vote goes to Bi-winning V3. Its super smooth and fast with zero issues. Battery life is good, and it comes with the Bullet kernel that is capable of over clocking if your into that.
I started with Axura, went to bionix - both ran fine. GPS got within 60 feet on average. Hey - a garmin it ain't -
Tried a few GB ROMs, but since GB isn't 'out' for t959, I had concerns re: compatibility to the phone itself using a ported rom. Un-bricking is not how I want to spend my time!
Currently using ToXiC 8 with Immortality kernel and Clean and Shiny theme. Fast. Stable. Using it since day 1 and no rom-related fc's. I tried the scripts jcc provided, but couldn't really see a difference. Battery life after calibration is great. I can use it all day without reservations. GPS will lock quickly, however no matter what ROM I've used, GPS always under-reports highway speed by ~2mph. After applying fixes that Jcc suggests, this phone is great.
Hope this helps.
What is the best kernal for this version of CM7? I followed a tutorial on YouTube which used an Overstock kernal, but I'm not sure if that one is the best in terms of battery performance.

Anyone? I heard Bali is good.
There are 5 kernel available for CM also MIUI. (AFAIK)
1.Glith v13
2.EB7-Streamline
3.Neo 18 + Neo XX.1
4.99 Problemz
5.Bali-CM 2.2.2
And currently I'm using EB7-Streamline.
glitch works very well. the problem i had with bali and 99 problems was that no one could hear me when i put them on speaker phone. glitch v13 on medium leakage was great for me on miui and cm7
Glitch v13

Bali is good, but the developer no longer has a vibrant and so it is no longer updated. So I would have to say glitch v13 is the way to go. Super smooth and battery seems better then bali

I guess I'll try out Glitch, but why does it say DEV on the file name for Vibrant? It is a beta release?
Glitch and eb7 are my faves.. i LOVED glitch but my bln wusnt working and i NEEd it to, so i ended up on eb7 which is also BEASt, with working gps, pretty good batt life and performance and plenty of features.
Glitch def wins in performance tho

I am about to update my sister phone 2.1 to 2.2 but decide to just root it and flash a custom rom. What would be the best stable rom for it? She really just needs GPS working. Thanks
All the 2.2 roms pretty much the same stability-wise. It will just be a matter of personal preference to be honest. I like ZenDroid.
