Hello guys, can you guys tell me by experience what is the best Gingerbread ROM out there like from 2.3.4 and up? I will like to be up to date. Currently Im testing in love of the Crisis Rom with the Sensation theme but is giving me soft reboots very often.
Im looking for a gingerbread rom that i can customize it with my custom themes..
Im into looks so the rom have to be a nice good looking interface
thanks
I don't see how anyone could over look CM7. CM7 plus Bali = Possibly the Best experience I've had with Android on my Vibrant. Plus it's got support for themes.
Simply stock great speed an battery an comes with good kernel that has all bells an whistles

If you want themes and customization go with MIUI REVAMPED. Not only is it an amazing rom but the devs are some if the best they answer any and all questions and update every Friday. Miui has hundreds of themes you can download straight from the app and apply within a min

Noobie question regarding CM 7
Hi,
I had a quick question regarding Cyanogen 7. I did try parsing through the threads but I'm hoping to get a few questions answered which didn't already find. I just rooted my phone and I'm planning on installing Cyanogen 7. However, before I do, I just wanted to clarify a few things.
1)GPS-I'm told this is fixed but still somewhat buggy. The current froyo stock ROM GPS really isn't all that reliable but it does work. If Cyanogenrom is equal to that, I'll be fine. However, if it's worse, that's a concern for for me. Can anyone give me an answer as to how it compares to the GPS on stock froyo.
2) I currently have most of my apps loaded on SD Card since I have the stock froyo. Will I have to reformat the card after the Cyanogen install or does it even matter?
3) Does the 3 button combo into recovery mode still work? If not, what are my other options?
4)Is Video playback still choppy in certain formats.
5) I've seen some youtube videos where people have installed the Voodoo kernel with Cyanogen and they've eliminated practically all lag issues. Does Cyanogenmod on the Vibrant have any frequent lag issues where the voodoo kernel is necessary?
Again, I apologize if my questions have been addressed before but if someone would be kind enough to help me, I would be grateful.

The only problem with this rom, is that every reboot you have to connect to data which is a technical inconvenience feature unlike the other roms. That rom is not as intuitive like the others. Once you get past that snafu, it does look nice and responds fair. Still has the cm7 / miui bugs and GPS is so so with other 2.3 roms.

Correct, but the bible hasn't been updated in a month.
Nor has the wiki which can be found HERE.
To be honest, I've only found minimal difference in the performance of the most recent 2.2 ROMs. They're all fairly good.
Before you jump in to deep, please do some research. You will save yourself alot of headaches. The stickies are a great place to start.
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
ROMS
This is some kind of basic orientation:
First, nobody can really tell you which rom will work better for you.
Vibrant problem is that, there are many variations on the hardware, some have a bigger nand, some can be overclocked some cannot. Some get problems with vodoo.
You just have to be ready to experiment, and most importantly not to panic if something goes wrong.
First step. Get familiar with ODIN, learn how to use it and most important, learn how to get your phone in Download Mode.
Step two. Be sure you have the original shipping rom (pit and tar files) at least to odin back to shipping stock. This can save your life if OC is not supported by your phone, if you forget to disable vodoo or lagfix before flashing another rom, and so on)
Step three. If you install any kind of lagfix, including Voodo, be sure to disable it, before flashing anything else. (If you forget you vcan always fix it, going back to stock and repartition it, i can't recall anybody actually bricking a Vibrant just for doing that)
Decide if you want stock or a modified rom. Read, read a lot, to see adventages and disadventages of each.
Decide if you want 2.1 or you are ready to go for froyo
And remember, I can't recall anybody bricking the phone, but be careful you can always be the first, and is only your responsability not anybody else, if you brick your phone.
ohh hand don't forget to HAVE FUN!!!!
My suggestions...

Take a look at my recent video reviews of some of the latest popular ROMs. There are instructions in the description box of the videos to get you started =]
I embedded one of my videos below. This one showcases Axura 2.2.5.7. A great looking ROM that is fast, stable, and again, very good looking. If you check out my channel I have other videos of other ROMs. A video of Nero v3 by Team Whiskey will be up in an hour.

Nero v3 by team whiskey or sombionix...it simply rocks rather flies......frrrrrrrr
Sent from my SGH-T959 on fire on Nero V3 by Team Whiskey using XDA App
I strongly recommend AXURA. I'm currently on 2.2.5.7. Very stable and fast, unlike Nero v3 in my experience. I'm actually surprised at how stable it is!
I was using CyanogenMod 6.1 before Axura, which is a complete AOSP Android build (without any Samsung crap) with many improvements. I've been using CyanogenMod since I had my G1 before the Vibrant, and I really wanted to use it on my new phone, but unfortunately it's still buggy. Even with sombionix's SD mount fix, the external SD cannot be mounted. Video playback doesn't seem to be GPU accelerated like it normally is. Mounting USB usually tends to consume lots of memory on the phone (maybe a memory leak?) while I work with large files, and it just stops the connection.
I didn't want to use a Samsung-based ROM, but Axura is the best right now IMO.
Axura ROM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891657
I would stay away from anything tagged team whiskey. Axura, imo, is the most stable of the vibrant mods. Try them all and decide for yourself but get comfortable with Odin and imaging back to stock. Especially if you test out TW mods.

I've used axura and nero, but I am currently using pepperkake, and it is by far the best of both worlds. Fast, stable, and the battery life is awesome! I highly recommend it, everything just works! (v2)

Why? I got NeroV3 and love it. Got the leaked Froyo from Team Whiskey in NeroV1Beta3 and then upgraded to Nerov3 using JUST my phone. You have to give them a few points for making it so dam easy. As far as stable, been running it through the ringers for days now with no problems whatsoever. You enable the Voodoo on NeroV3 and it will scream. I got the Touchwiz version, you should give it a shot OPer

Nero V3 w/ Launcher Pro is more of the way to go lol.. Voodoo enabled of course. Super fast, I'd put Axura in there but, Axura is slightly more buggy and has this problem with the white or gray font color in the notification bar with music players, where the font blends in with the gray theme.. Nero is sleek and clean and bugless IMO.

Now call me ignorant, but I don't really know what these have advantages over others like froyo roms (UKB 2.1) I flashed MIUIWIZ last night and am absolutely loving it but I'm curious to know the pros and cons to each. Can anybody help?

Well first of all, CM7 and MIUI are AOSP roms. Everything else for the fascinate up to date is based on TouchWiz. TouchWiz is samsung's way of giving us all the shaft. It's samsung's GARBAGE proprietary code. AOSP (android open source project) is pure Google android code. TouchWiz is completely inferior to AOSP in performance, smoothness, speed, battery life, customization etc. etc. The ONLY thing TW has over AOSP is complete functionality. But, even that is about to change once jt1134 or navenedrob get mms working on AOSP. AOSP is simply a better and frankly more enjoyable user experience. But, I give credit to TSM for making TW bearable with their awesome roms and builds.

In my experience with ComRom2.1 vs the latest cm7, you get better battery life with cm7 and Netflix works. Both are fast and, frankly, I was getting pretty good battery life with ComRom (but not as good as cm7). Even though cm7 is getting more polished, sound still doesn't come out of the Samsung car dock, volume through rear-speaker and ear-speaker is low, and picture messaging doesn't work.
Don't forget that CM7 is also based off of 2.3 gingerbread so you have all of the 2.3 bonuses.
From what I have learned in reading, flashing, testing, and using is that TW is not the mass murderer that many people make it out to be. If you are a developer you will absolutely hate it for many reasons I don't care to understand.
CM7 in its current form (as many have stated) is not complete though the large CM7 gorilla in the room has been exchanged for a small small monkey. MMS is about all that doesn't function correctly which, depending on who you talk to, is not a big deal. Personally I have people mms my email and it works the exact same.
GPS, call volume, and sensors where the CM7 deal breaker for me but with patients we have seen them all disappear. In a few weeks it will be in its early beta stages without a doubt.
So the short version
TouchWiz = Samsungs *****
AOSP = Nobodies *****
Thanks everyone for your input! This has been very helpful. I think I'm going to try out CM7 right now and post my feedback ITT as well. Thanks again for the great breakdown everyone!
*edit* Also, I know this must have been asked a thousand times, but can someone link me to a walkthrough of how to install CM7?

Installing cm7 is the normal routine. Go to jt1134's cm7 thread, at the bottom of his post he has attached the proper cwm to use. Install one of those, wipe data/cache/dalvik and then flash the rom. The phone will automatically reboot after flashing it. Once it boots up, boot back into recovery and flash gapps and then reboot. Enjoy!

Thank you sir! Currently running CM7 and loving it.
I get my S II tomorrow and I've been looking around alot to see what the best rom out is, but there's loads of roms available.
What I'm asking is instead of spending multiple hours going through every rom to find out whats good, whats peoples favorites or what would you recommend,
Stuff I need working -
Camera
Onboard Storage
GPS
(These are musts)
I would preferably like things like overclocking stuff that utilizes the dual core 1.2ghz processor.
Any ideas and thanks in advance
With multiple exact same posts as yours .
One their is no bests rom .
Two read the individual rom threads and make up your own mind.
Three if unable to make up your mind stick with stock .
Four posts belongs Q&A
Stuff I need working -
Camera
Onboard Storage
GPS
You should find they come with the phone not the rom .

Firstly sorry for not noticing the many other posts dedicated to this subject.
Secondary, camera etc may come with the phone but it doesn't specifically come with the rom, I have a Xperia Arc at the moment and the freexperia project doesnt have the camera up and running, so I feel like that was a valid question.
All I was asking is what people are using? What you prefer?
Not an index to what you hate and love about every rom

Coming from HTC Desire, I would of asked exactly the same questions. When new ROMS came out on HTC Desire, or the X10, not everything was working right from the start. Even on the ROMS on this phone it seems not everything is working, so surely the question is valid.
most are just themed roms and don't offer much over a rooted and tweaked stock rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The most famous roms have all the features your looking for i believe, Better Camera, overclock 1.6 Ghz, Better GPS etc.
But you can't say which one is best cause they all are different in their own way, specially in themes and so on.

@JJEgan, you were right in the other thread... this is getting ridiculous
@OP: there's really not much difference between them. The different ones are probably CM7, MIUI and Oxygen (they're not stable), the rest just have some modifications, and they mostly are stable with everything working. Just see which one has more views and pick one you think you like. Creating a thread like this has absolutely no point, you will get zero information out of it... even if people start answering you, you'll just get a random sample of what some people are using.
Stock
Just root it and add a kernel like niphetamine - get juicedefender too.
Simples.

Villain Rom 2.4.2 best for me. It's based on stock firmware so gps, camera etc is working fine. Browser is laggy though so use Dolphin HD or another one from the market.
You get Villain tweaks too!
Flash the Ninphetamine kernel as its overclocked to 1.6ghz.

I agree with some of the others in this thread, just stock is best. Samsung polished the firmware really well and its amazing. Id say just flash a custom kernel if you want to do extra stuff like oc/uv or something. Really the only time i ever switch from stock is to try CM7 then or something. Other than that imo stock is best.
GS2 is the first phone where stock meet all my needs. Ive played with a couple of different roms and usually something happens after the first week.
Most roms in dev section give you a all in one package. So must of the tweaks that you would normally install manually are already preinstalled. This is the fun part about android with so many choices, try a couple out first and see what fits your needs.
This is a valid question, the more popular the phone the more hours of searching it takes. CM7 is buggy as hell. Stay away. Stick with stock and just flash a kernel. Samsung did a good job actually with this phone, especially with the skinning in my opinion. It amazes me people buy a super specd phone like this the install ROMS that strip the phone of it's power. CM7 is taking way too long honestly and it's absurd how buggy it is at this point in the phones release history.

Just a little rectification for OP and others: CM7 is an unstable nightly build officially, but it's usable. I have it for a week now, and I haven't had any serious problems. It's stable and I can use it just like the stock ROM, with very few limitations. I'm not going back to other roms for now
Leomar's revolution is amazing. Lots of customised stuff.
VillainROM for a stock look which allows for easily added tweaks. Friendly thread as well.
Ninphetamine kernel works great with both roms...

For me, the rom is perfect but anyway I have not tried more (in GT-i9000 I tried too much)
Cyanogenmod ofcourse
I dont have a rooted SGS2 but Cyanogenmod is on the vids very good and smooth.
There are a few issues but there are not major bugs.
Only A2DP dont work ... And a few another things !
the girls phone is still stuck on 2.1 (ew)
im looking for something close to stock that is quick, optimized and up to date if possible.
looking for better battery life as well.
i rooted and installed cwm tonight, so its ready to go.
id prefer to keep it with touchwiz as she likes TW.
any ideas on what to look at as a good rom?
she likes landscape mode to reply to texts and stuff, ive seen how some can be buggy with that, so thats a feature i need to work correctly.
is gingerbread out for this phone?
thanks everyone.
We have CyanogenMod for this phone (2.3.7) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061889
Not an official Gingerbread release.
If you want a 2.2, stock-like but tweaked to run smooth phone, I'd go with Bionix; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
Do note, it's sort of outdated, because of a bunch of new stuff that's come out. But it's the closest to stock (In the way things run.) It's just been optimized and it's really responsive. It comes with a gingerbread theme, so that's nice.
And you can always update apps and whatnot, install a newer modem, kernel, etc.
I would suggest trigger 3.2 final it is what i am currently running and i havent had any problems with it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
When it comes to TW roms I found Trigger 3.2 to be very good. Although Bionix is another good choice as well.
However, my favorite rom by far is MIUI. It's based on android 2.3.7 (gingerbread) and CM7. It's super user friendly and one of the best overall built roms I've ever used. Plus it is extremely customizable and smooth. However, it has no app drawer, that's it's flaw. Still you should have your girlfriend look at it and see if she would like it, even though it's not really TW.
Here's a guide to flash it & everything else you'll need to get started... "Guide- Easily Flash MIUI for Vibrant + Themes/Modems/Kernels/ and more!"
Project-V all the way. You won't find a better 2.2 rom
Seeing as its not your phone i wouldn't suggest any 2.3 roms. Even tho they are great and have great devs working on them they still have bugs due to a lack of source code.

yes i prefer not to have any bugs since she isnt really a dev when it comes to stuff and wouldnt know what to do if something started messing up lol.
thanks for the heads up everyone, ill be checking out every rom that was mentioned, perhaps a link included would help me faster access them.
ill show each one to her and see what she prefers.
I ended up with trigger, will let you all know how it goes for her.
she is very happy with how snappy it is, along with the visual voicemail lol
what do you guys think is better than TW that i should try, miui?
Miui was pretty cool. Visually appealing but for me some apps didnt work and battery life sucked. I am using phiremod 2.0. It's a cm7 that in my opinion apart from bionix is the best rom I've tried I get great battery life and its really fast and reliable. I've been on it for about 3 months

If you want a good quality 2.2, check out Toxic8 or Deranged9. Both excellent ROMs with great support and outstanding battery life.
If you want the latest then ICS Passion is where it is at but make sure you are comfortable flashing ROMs, Odin and bootloaders. Oh and read, read, read.
I've been using ics passion 10.6 its great! no rom gives good battery life for me but this isn't any worse than stock 2.2 battery life
I am new to this stuff, but I flashed Zendroid a few days ago and love it. Super solid, no glitches at all yet. I have 25% battery right now after a full day's use and that never happened on stock. I love it, super clean, super smooth. I can't speak to "better" than bionix as I haven't tried that ROM yet. Just know that Zendroid is awesome.
I was on bionix 1.3.1 and was hesitant to try ics passion but the rom is smoother than I ever imagined.
Ok so I was looking at ics, and there's a ton where can get the best rom and kernels or is there a good site I can read about it?

Just look for the "ICS Passion v11" thread in the Development sub-forum. I recommend the stock kernel, only because it lags for me if I use Eugene's. Results may vary though, so you should try both and see which works best for you.
Sent through the XDA App on my Samsung Vibrant running ICS Passion v10.6
I think it really depends on the features that you're looking for. Personally, I don't really see the necessity to jump ship to a GB or ICS rom for the Vibrant just yet (if ever). Someone posted a pretty legit list on Fishman's mod noting the differences between Android versions that you should check out to see if updating is worth it for you.
+1 for bionix from me..
ICS Passion v11 is pretty sleek, but since there's no 1080p video recording I may have to revert back to Bionix.
The Vibrant is a better video recorder than my Flip- I'm not sure why they would cripple the video.
360 productions make some great miui roms. I prefer lithium. you could give those a try
I've been using bionix nextgen v2 for a long long time, and it's fantastic but I'd really like to make the jump to a GB rom.
Mainly because I can't stand the fact that my CM7 Nook Color can run apps that my Galaxy S class phone can't.
Only GB ROM I've tried so far was the first stable CM7 version, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get my GPS to work _at all_. Since I actually make use of my GPS on a fairly regular basis I went back to bionix nextgen.
Can anyone recommend GB or ICS roms that have good GPS performance (meaning they don't have that "turn off GPS once and you have to reboot to get it back" issue)? Been browsing through the roms listed in the dev forum, but I'd also like some extremely fresh personal feedback from other users here.
Thanks in advance all.

Can anyone recommend GB or ICS roms that have good GPS performance (meaning they don't have that "turn off GPS once and you have to reboot to get it back" issue)? Been browsing through the roms listed in the dev forum, but I'd also like some extremely fresh personal feedback from other users here.
Thanks in advance all.

Would also like to know whether such ROM (GB with working GPS) exists...
Since my original post above I've switched to ICS Euphoria. It does have the GPS off = reboot to use it problem, but honestly leaving the GPS switched on all the time does not seem to have a serious impact on my battery life vs what I was getting before. In the end I'm fine making that tradeoff in order to be on modern firmware. ICS is _awesome_ and I don't see myself going back.
