Hey, it's been awhile since i've been on here. Still running nero 5.
What are the best roms out there right now?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
there are a lot of good roms here, as always is just a matter of taste. if you like stock android there are cyanogenmod roms which are all good, and some more are based on cyanogemod. but if you are like me and dont want stock like android, go for MIUI. you can also try a few of them. hope i helped.
I'll look into MIUI.
In your opinion what would be the best as far as upgraded speed and performance?

Bionix is the ROM after Nero V5

Alright, I love team whiskey. I'm leaning towards Bionix 1.3.1. What is a good recommendation for a powerful and fast kernel?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
Give bi winning V3 a try. Comes with bullet kernel that you can over clock if you want. Its the smoothest rom I've ever used. Zero issues.

go through them and see what you think
none of us can say whats best because you might think different
Is bionix 1.3.1 with overstock 1'3 any good?
That's what I'm leading towards, if you use that could you tell me what you think?

I am using Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution Beta. I like it
CM7 for pure vanilla FTW
I am on bionix 1.3.1 using Super Dragon MoDz right now, I used overstock for it a while back and it ran like butter. That would be a solid upgrade.
Toxic8 with Supercharger v6.
Nothing and i mean absolutely nothing comes even close...
Alright bionix it is.
It's been awhile so bare with me.
Odin back to stock, then flash bionix, then overstock. Right?
Or can I just flash right over the top of nero 5?

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
I used to have bionix + bali kernel. When I missed a charge for a day it was no problem since i could easily go 2 days without a charge. Now I switched to Simply Honey v5. I have to charge twice a day or it just dies at nite leaving me without an alarm. The battery life is 3-4x less compared to my old setup.
GPS, compass, accel., ambient light sensors dont work properly. I gave up on GPS and turn it off. It doesnt work and if by mistake i tried to use it, it keeps running and sucks the battery in no time. The working GPS claim in OP is untrue.
And Simply Honey (and I think all other GB ROMs) wipe everything in the phone! Backup to your PC!
I wouldnt go with a GB ROM at this time if I knew there were so many issues.
Gingerzen! Only stable gingerbread rom I've ever used and the battery lasts all day for me (I wake up at 5)

Toxic 8 with V6 super scripts and immortality 2.2 kernal is by far the best combo i've had on my vibrant. Speed and batter life are incredible and outperform any other ROM i've tried on here.
I tried GB but couldn't take the issues with GPS, compass, speed, battery.
Running Bionix 1.3.1 with Bali 1.8.8 kernel and loving it! Consistently fast and great battery.
2.3 roms have some minor issues .....so 2.2 is best!
Im on trigger. And liking it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I might try one of those then, I did bionix 1.3 with overstock 1.3.
I like everything about it, except the battery life is definitely worse than my nero 5 was.
And I did the same to my wifes vibrant and she can't seem to get the defalt launcher to stay the same, it's always switching.

Since I've just started using ROMS. I was wondering, is there a list or thread of the top 10 most used/best ROMS? Thanks in advance guys!
Not sure of Top 10, All I can say, every one gets a different score or opinion for each rom. Its matterof personal preference on what you like on each rom.
Not in any order or priority, list of roms that have consistent positive feedback and updates.

Try Nero v4.1 with overclock kernal. This has to be number one. Very fast and stable. 65 fps, 2000+ quadrant scores, no lag issues. Its a very good rom. I'm more than impressed.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
For me I can tell you my top 3.
1. Axura 2.2.6.0 - Master
2. Nero 4.1 -Team Whiskey (good if you like overclocking)
3. Pepperkake 3.5.2 - Jelette
All 3 of these roms are fast and stable. I personally found Axura rom to work the best for my needs.

These 3 are all great, and The statement "I personally found the XXXX rom to work the best for my needs" is ultimately the bottom line...... personal choice
I use the Axura as of now, I get least amount of banding in my FFC with it and the best battery life.
Thanks for the info guys!

NERO
GingerClone
Axura
are probably the best, and most popular out currently, i use nero, but love both ginger clone and axura!
Which one gives you the best battery life?
Battery wise, axura gave me the best with no reconditioning.
Nero with reconditioning gives about an hour or less than axura, but battery life is all dependent on how u use your phone
For me, I use axura cos my gps works with it, with nero my gps doesn't.
But have to say battery life with nero is very good.
Would love to try pepperkake /eighnjar ROMs too..

I tried nero, axura, and ginger clone. I personally like ginger clone. I've never said, "i don't like...." I try the new versions of all the roms. I find myself going back to eugene ginger clone. :/
Sent from my vibrant. Via XDA App.
I flashed the latest version of Axura last night and I am blown away. This is my first custom ROM (coming from stock Eclair JI6) and I am loving it. It's hard to believe this was developed by enthusiasts and is available for free. (I will donate of course!)
I am sure the other ROMs are great, too. I'll be trying them soon
I would like to know which of the roms is the most stable.

me too. i'm sick of waiting for 2.2 since it looks as if samsung doesn't care about their customers so i'm looking for the most stable rom from 2.2.
guess i'll try the auxura(sp?) and see how that goes.
i assume you don't lose any apps or anything when changing the roms?

You LOSE all your apps and contacts unless you back them up first! Follow the Noob guide posted in this forum to back up your apps using Titanium backup.
Edit: The Axura update doesn't delete your videos and pictures that you took with the camera. I had backed those up but they were there when the new ROM loaded up
It doesn't wipe your internal or external SD card, but it does wipe all your apps. Everything on SD cards will stay exactly like they were preflash (barring certain circumstances, but I won't get into those right now. These issues are not present with any of the current roms (using stock kernels)
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

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

Trigger + overstock kernel is very stable for me with 12 to 15 hours battery life plus a great gps locks within 30s
Im looking for either a 2.2.1 rom or a 2.2 with ffc. I spend most my time playing ball and the only way I get to see my girl is on the weekends, I wanted a got rom that supports ffc (very well) so I can see my girl more. So what is the best rom that offers FFC, good battery, and data.. everything really doesn't matter to me except those three thing.. in suggestions?

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?
Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/

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.

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.
hey as the title says searching for a stable froyo rom for a friend he doesnt like cm7 or anything gingerbread and theres so many to choose from i dont know where to start please and thank you
There really is no Froyo rom here that isn't stable. It will all come down to personal preference. I like ZenDroid. It's smooth and has all of the non essental bloat removed. Bi-Winning v3 is also good. I tend to go between those two. Pair either of those with the Bali 1.8.8UV kernel or DragonMODz kernel, and you've got yourself a slick rom with very good battery. But there are lots of choices so it's really up to you.
Hope this helps
I have flashed every single flashable froyo and cm7/cm7 based roms that I could find on xda and I must say while I liked zendroid and have alot of repect for the developer but overall my favorite recent froyo rom is toxic crazy 8. I used the theme clean and shiny for music and toxic 8 and it is visually beatiful with themed in call screens and everything all included. Its also a super fast rom. I never disable voodoo (some will disagree with me on that) and its super quick to flas any rom within cwm so id try both and decide but make sure to get clean and shiny if you do toxic 8 its great. Ill also throw in that this is yhe first tozic I have used as a daily and even having a daily is rare for me but the dev is always helping people and he is very helpful and never rude, its really cool.

I like Project-V. I don't think I'll switch for a while. Bionix 1.3.1 is good, but the add widgets menu is too cluttered for me. With ZenDroid, I get a bunch of annoying bugs and force closes even after a fresh install from JFD. Bi-Winning wasn't my thing, only tried for a few hours. Same with Bionix NextGen.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the epitome of stable Roms. Your friend should have no problems from it.

Chalk another one up for Bionix! Used to run it and I don't think I had a single problem with it.
I have to agree with Toxic8. Been using it for a few days now after moving from Toxic7. Fantastic battery life, smooth as silk, and rock solid stable.
Whichever was explodingboy70's last updated Froyo rom. Everything worked flawlessly and it looked awesome, not to mention I was getting absurdly long battery life.
