So I'm switching back to a Froyo ROM because school's starting soon. My current plan is to do the trigger ROM with the Overstock kernel. I read the OP for trigger 3.2 and 2.9.4 (and re-read it, thank you very much and I can't see what the differences are. They're both froyo roms. Is 3.2 just a recompile? And what's KB5 and KB1 mean? Doesn't it have something to do with the base firmware? Lastly, what's the difference between 3.2_final and 3.2_final_wmfix on the trigger download page? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/trigger-rom/files/) Please excuse my noobishness.... I tried a gingerbread rom and pretty much broke my phone (crashed a lot, almost every app force closed) . I just want to get it stable and battery efficient. Any help?
EDIT: SOLVED!

Can anyone tell me if there is a Gingerbread ROM that is stable enough for everyday use? If there is, then can you send me a link to the thread.
maybe you can read this for help

Another good resource is the sticky at the top of this forum. In it, there's a link to the 2.3 Gingerbread roms:

Honestly if you want close to 100% functionality, stick with Froyo. I am currently using CM 6.1.3 v54 and even with my standard battery can get by over 2 days.

You also get to install the latest baseband. Let SE come out with the stable Gingerbread and then get the custom gingerbread then.
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
I've had my streak since launch which is pretty much a year now and I've been looking to take the plunge and smack a nice custom ROM on my streak.
Of course I want gingerbread etc but my problem is that there seems to be a distinct lack of Custom ROMs being finished.
It used to be the case on a phone that there would be great stable ROMs with incremental updates to fix little annoyances here and there, but all of these custom ROMs have massive flaws and there's so many of them being pumped out e.g "streakdroid" which is over version 2 now and still has major problems?
Can someone please point me in the direction of a nice stable custom rom?
thanks
there's only two gingerbread roms
i dont know which is most stable as i dont use either

The most stable Gingerbread ROM for the Streak is Streakdroid 2.3. It's still not stable, though, because Dell never released any firmware other than an Alpha release of Kernel code for 2.3. They have since discontinued the device which means there are only a handful of devs left here to finish an entire ROM, not just make it better.
If you want a totally stable release you're going to have to go with a 2.2 ROM, and they still aren't totally stable. Try StreakDroid 1.9.1 or SimpleStreak 1.2 (Not really a custom ROM, more of just a parred down version of stock ROM)

Moving to Q&A
the most recommended rom is froyo stock
SimpleStreak then install what you want.
Didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread.
What is the most stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM right now.
I don't need anything fancy. Just want something that is debloated and quick and stable. Needs to be at least 2.2.
New to Streak 5, just trying to help out my Mom with a phone for her.
Edit, n/m. I broke the Streak due to the stupid battery cover/reboot issue. Bought a Samsung Infuse instead. Will put the Streak on eBay in as-is condition noting what happened.
I've tried just about every custom Rom out there and handsdown DSC is the most stable rom i've used so far, Miui was good but the battery life just killed it for me.
DSC
DSC 1.0v \m/is the most stable among StreakDroid5-2.0 slow in my streak, miui restart often, Longhorn 2.5 FCing.
Is battery life.better on 1.3.2? I am using gokhan 2.3.7 with unnamed 1.3.2 at the moment. Are there any advantages to new unnamed Tom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
UnNamed v1 is KH7 based while v2 is KK6 based. That being said, 1.3.2 won't have the battery drain issues associated with KK6 that v2 will have. Entropy512 details the KK6 firmware bug a little bit in his known identified battery drainers thread.
Nitox, i saw from your signature that you are on 1.3.2. I work in a place that has low signal and usually prefer to stay on wifi all day but I have noticed more drain on wifi than on data. Have you tried 2.2.1?
I'm just debating if I should go to the KH7 version of unnamed.
Any opinion or imput?
I did switch to v2 when gtg released it, but ran into the wifi associated battery drain issue every once in a while (which drained 6-7% per hour overnight). It was stable for the most part but I decided to revert back to 1.3.2 to avoid the issue entirely, especially since I didn't notice any real functional difference between the two.
Solution to your problem maybe?
Interesting thread... so should there still be wifi drain if we install 2.2.1, but then flash the KH7 modem on instead? I personally see quite a bit of wakelock with this setup but i don't know if it is more than is normal.
I guess I dont really understand whether KK6 is somehow built into 2.2.1, or if it is a completely separate entity that just comes with the rom.
Every ROM is based on a certain version of Android (KH7, KK6, etc). What this means is that the developer creates the ROM with that version installed. KH7 is the version of Android that was shipped with the phone, so everyone who bought the phone was running KH7. So at the time that gtg first started developing UnNamed (ie. UnNamed 1.x.x), he was building his ROM off of KH7.
After the KK6 source was leaked, he finalized v1 with UnNamed 1.3.2 and released UnNamed 2.0.0 based on KK6.
I don't think the KK6 bug is modem-related: I'm actually running the KK6 modem on 1.3.2 and haven't come across the wifi bug. I don't know much about the root of the problem, but I'm assuming it has to do with some coding issues within KK6 itself. This thread has some more details about the bug.
[EDIT]
I'm not going to pretend like I'm an expert on the bug. In fact, I know barely anything about it, besides the fact that it exists, is KK6 related, and that I've experienced it before. Reverting back to 1.3.2 was mostly just me heeding Entropy's advice to abandoning KK6 and avoid the problem entirely.
[/EDIT]
Correct me if I am wrong but here is the way I understand the versions. There are three variables at play here: the modem (KK6, KH7, ect.), the Android version (2.3.4, 2.3.5, etc.) , and the kernel version.
I asked about WiFi performance in another thread in Q&A and Entropy responded saying WiFi is controlled by kernel and Android version. The WiFi bug is actually associated with the Android Version 2.3.6. Avoiding rom's based on this version will ensure you do not encounter this bug.
I currently have UnNamed 1.3.2, which is based on Android 2.3.4, running Entropy's latest kernel and I have had better battery life than compared to running 2.3.6 based roms (UnNamed 2.2.1 and SHOstock 1.8.1).
My advice for best battery performance: find a rom based on Android Version 2.3.4, flash Entropy's latest kernel, and choose a modem that works best in your area.

I'm fairly sure it's a bug with only samsung builds, namely KK6

Yeah it's a samsung build problem but what I mean is that it's a bug that is found in the Android 2.3.6 build provide by samsung.
Thanks everyone, it all makes sense now! Especially great explanation by nitox.n2o ... still trying to figure out how to use the "thank" function in these forums
Ill try 1.3.2 and see if that helps with my wakelocks! Its probably also due to the fact that I have poor reception at work and my phone is trying to constantly trying to find the best cell-tower to use
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
