Hi all,
My mother just bought a Vibrant and moved from a feature phone. As it goes, I will be flashing it from it's eclair condition to Froyo but since I haven't run Froyo in so long (I'm CM7 fan), I don't know which Froyo ROM to use.
Any help is appreciated here. I need the best possible ROM+Kernel for battery. I don't really care about other features at the moment. Only requirement is to last as long as possible on a charge.
I'd suggest bi winning v3 by Dan brutal. I know he's moved on, but the rom is rock solid for me. I use the bullet kernel that came with the rom but alot of people used the Bali kernel that was under volted.
bionix v2
bionix v2 and bali 1.8.8 uv . .
ZenDroid w/ included Bali kernel or DMZ kernel. ZenDroid is already very much stripped down and has newer tweaks than most other froyo roms. Very efficient. Maybe you should order another one of those 1800mah batteries for her too.

Basically Bali 1.8.8uv or Bali X 1.2 (if you want to UV further) kernel coupled with any of the recently updated Froyo Roms. I'd suggest Toxic8 if you really like to theme your phone (though nothing beats MIUI for theming) and Zendroid if you want a stripped down, Touchwiz-less experience.
I have to agree with @GreggoryD502 on this one. I have put Winning on all 3 of my family phones and it ran great in terms of battery. Except for CM7 and Neo 16 that I am running now, I have never had any better battery life than I did with that rom. It isn't the latest and greatest but it is a solid performer. I flashed other 2.2 roms and ended up coming back to it several times until Cyanogen was released and stable.

I'm liking flagship v4 and wondered if I could run, for instance, TW's 1.2ghz kernel without messing up my phone?
Thanks.
i guess you could but why theres better kernals that have less power drian an oc to 1.4ghz use the DoW14 kernel 1.1 its much much better an ya flags rom is nice but for performance an speed i would try out Bionix-v 1.2.1 unless ur dead set on flagship

Thanks for the reply....been watching the voodoo sound kernels for some time...tried the dragon 3.2 a few weeks back and could not live with battery drain. Seems that this is still an issue for dow14, even without OC....I'm gonna wait a little longer.
i ran bionix 1.2.1 for a few days but found it not as stable as 1.2, in fact I've found that the TW roms have given me issues since nero v5, which was a perfect rom.
Gonna such with flagship for now...
I had the same experiance. I like flagship theming better too. I tried dow and dead horse on flagship and went with deadhorse OC. Better battery and seemed more stable...but thats just me.

If by the TW 1.2ghz kernel you mean Core, then it will only work with Android 2.1 ROMs and not 2.2 ROMs.
EDT 2.2.1 + DOW1.4fow = awesome.
Dragon kernel 3.1.2 gave me best performance although i can only go up to 1280mhz
57FPS on neocore
weird thing is it's performance beats other dragon kernel versions even @ 1360mhz
48FPS only necore
have yet to try DOW kernels extensively ... tried it once for a short while but i experienced some instabilities and i guess i'm not familiar yet with setCPU
First off, this should have been asked (or searched) in the thread for the ROM, or kernel you're asking about. If you really had to make a new thread, this is absolutely the wrong section to post it in. It clutters the dev section, and gives the mods more unnecessary work. Theres a Q&A section for a reason. Not bashing, just for future reference.
That being said, Most of the recent 2.2 Vibrant kernels should work fine on most recent 2.2 ROMs. If you're worried, just make sure you have a flashable version of whatever kernel you're currently using on your internal SD to flash if anything goes wrong. That could save you from having to use Odin if anything were to happen.
Also, someone mentioned troubles with SetCPU. I personally prefer using init.d scrips to overclock. Most ROMs support them now. I don't need any extra apps/processes running, and it's always very smooth for me. That's just personal preference though.

Depends on what features you want. Totally Worthless T2 is the best kernel for my needs.
Depends what your looking for. I'm running Dow 14 HD and its awesome. OC to 1.4 ( without a problem) , voodoo color and sound. BLN.

Imm Runiinq Dhee samee...I Set Cpu To 1.4 too Andd It works perfect
s0niqu3s, its almost all stock so stable and good battery..
but, it adds voodoo (EXT4) and voodoo sound (get the app in the market) and you will be blown away at how better video/music sound on the Vibrant.
I really do not think any kernel could be better right now. OC'ing is (a) a drain on battery and (b) not worth it in my opinion, my phone is plenty snappy
Well, am using the dragon v5 with no problem, yet with some bugs and checking constantly on the forums, all I see on the post is the same issues on every other kernel posts: battery, lag, wake of death, headphone, mic failure , tests , etc , but if you all read the threads its all the same, great job from all devellopers here, but I guess what makes a rom or kernel useless is how some users flash, and complain on these forums , is there a better rom out there than bionix, for our vibrants?

What about the best kernel for Bionic-v 1.3.1? I really want to enhance the Sound and the video to my vibrant. I dont care for battery waste as I have like 5 extras and 3 of them are 3500mhz.
All I need is a great Customized Kernel that will make my phone much faster and enhance at top.
I installed the Tigers Blood Kernel and love it but is giving me bugs like I cant install or un-installed apps and SD card bugs to connect to PC
Any suggestions will be great
whats better ford, dodge, chevy? different strokes for different folks.test them out and see what you like the best. keep a note of battery life and data speeds. stuff like that. or im wrong and have no clue what i'm spewing out. ladder more true then the former.
Recently, many kernels released for vibrant. Find best suit for yr ROM. Right now i use Dead Horse Kernel ULF OC_UV for Bionix-v 1.3.1. Smooth, fast, no problem, Quad +/- 2200 and battery more than 2d at normal daily.

Try the Overstock kernel if you havent already. OCs to 1.2 and has Voodoo... You could add darkys tweak as well as the fugu tweak too if you want to kick it up another notch.
Vibrant, Bionix-v 1.3.1, Overstock 2.2 Voodoo...

In your opinion what would you think is the fastest and most stable droid eris rom? I recently upgraded to the droid 2 global which by the way is awesome. I haven't bothered rooting it because there is zero lag issues or any problems with the phone as it's already a bat out of hell. The question is i'm going to root a friends phone but I don't want to run into any problems with them complaining about glitches. they are not rooted so i'm thinking anything root would be better. I have my eris deavtivated but it was running worksheds gingerbread and it was pretty quick but wasn't sure if a sense base rom would be better?
For someone who didn't know what rooting is and doesn't intend on coming to this forum and flashing updates, I would suggest xtrSense.
It has all the features he's used to and its fast.
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA App
def can't go wrong with any xtr ROM
that being said, the "speed difference" between most ROMs here will be negligible... and most of the Eris ROMs that are still being supported are fairly feature rich and stable.
GingerShedBread, by Workshed. Hands down.
I have three Erises on my account.. mine I play with a lot and like to try ROMs. Currently running GSB (this thing is stable as hell and speedy)..
Although, it's still gingerbread and still being tweaked..
My wife's Eris and my buddy who is super technically illiterate have Conap's CELB on them.. Froyo is rock solid and Conap has made it so unbelievably smooth.
I would suggest CELB if your looking for a "flash and forget" ROM.
-Xith
You certainly can't go wrong with either of the xtr ROMs. They are fast, stable, and smooth. In my experience, everything else seems to be fast and stable, but not nearly as smooth.
xtrROM is by far the fastest rom I have used for 2.1 android.
Nonsensikal was the fastest 2.2 rom I used
GSB is the fastest 2.3 rom I use.
eris Lightning Rom the latest version was great and never had any problems with it plus everything worked just how it should
My $.02 .... Ginger Tazz (Gingerbread 2.3.3 CM7 rc4) v17 was the tops until v18 popped up- It is easily #1 for me & a lot of others (GREAT SUPPORT, CLEAN, FAST, STABLE 99.999% "ERROR-FREE" BUILDS ) .... and I am a verrrry picky person.
Try it out for yourself .... definitely the best GB ROM for the Eris (IMO) .... if you want FROYO .... I personally recommend The ROM (for pure SPEEEED), Vanilla Tazz 26 or 28,29 (For CM6 rc2 & Gingerbread-like UI/experience & CM features) but I started my whole Android experience with KaosFroyo (for 'Vanilla' Froyo) but quickly moved on to Nonsensikal Black n Blue (for the B/B theme & speed !) .....
Take your pick .... for what its worth, I personally vouch for every single one of 'em !!!

this. Nonsensikal faster than any 2.2 rom and I've tried all the popular ones (late builds of CELB, Kaos, Froshedyo, two Tazz roms ect). the only 2.2 I kept on nand after moving to GB...and yes it was still faster finalized than the ones that continued support and development and most updates other roms where doing I was able to find and flash seperately.
xtrROM faster than everything just boring IMO
and I was just starting to appreciate GSB real good before I got the Thunderbolt, actually miss CM7

I haven't tried too many of the ROMs out there, but worksheds GSB blew my mind with what my little eris is capable of. I've been running it for a few months now and haven't had a single problem yet. I am admittedly pretty addicted to flashing pretty much every update he puts out so I'm not sure how it would work as a 'set it and forget it' ROM but it's definitely my favorite.
Yeah I haven't tried to many either but so far my favorite experiences have been with GSB. The recent update seems to have worked out all the minor issues that I was having.
I think ginger tazz v18 is crazy fast. But that is bias because I haven't tried gsb v 2.7 but I'm gonna try it out soon so I have a better opinion
For purely speed, XTRrom hands down. I try to use the 2.3 ROMS, but keep coming back because I can't stand the decrease in speed.
Currently, I'm using Gingertazz 17. I started with Ginger 15 and it was so much faster than 2.2. I had kaos froyo and like it a lot, but i think gingerbread is another leap. I didn't have any issues at all with gingertazz 17. Today, I did calibrate my battery because i noticed it wasn't lasting very long.
Nonsensikal was the best Froyo ROM. GSB is fantastic but still has a few (very few) bugs (particularly exchange e-mail, which is a CM bug, not workshed's fault). OMGB 1.1.1, in my opinion, is the fastest and most stable GB rom so far. It's lacking the CM7 mods, but I've been running heavy for 5 days with no issues
Right now, I am using Project V on Overstock Kernel, but I feel like it iis lacking a bit in the realm of customization. However, the speed and battery life is incredible. I need suggestions for a ROM that has decent battery life, good performance, good looks, and a decent amount of customization.

Axura is pretty good on all your needs and its pretty snappy too.
They have themes for it too and plenty of them. The battery life is very good too.
u can try toxic muzic ..is fast,stable..and many option with the theme..
Use a gingerbread ROM!
Only thin that gets me is the fact that Sims 3 and NOVA don't work.

I've tried trigger 3.2, trigger 3.3b2 and now I just flashed Project V.
Performance wise, I think trigger 3.3b2 with bullet kernel @1.42 was the best for me.
However, I'm still playing around with Project V with Bali 1.2 and so far, it's really good.
I do have some issues with wifi that I never experienced with trigger though.
What are you looking for in terms of customization? Because honestly, Project-V has got to be one of the most customizable ROMs available.
My best battery life came from trigger on overstock kernel. But gingerbread is just so awesome i dont think i can go back.

Try them all. No harm is done if you just want to flash away just make sure you follow the correct steps before switching to a different rom.

I use Simply Honey 3.9.1. So far very happy with it.
I have tried many roms and Project 5 is definitely the best Froyo rom. I have since moved to Miui. If you don't mind having no GPS, Wi-Fi calling and a little less battery life, then this is the best looking and feature rich rom available. Give it a shot.
In my opinion, Bionix v1.3.1 (most current Bionix), is hands down the best Gingerbread rom. I've tried a bunch of other roms, but I always go back to Bionix.
It may seem kinda jumpy at first, but just give it a day for everything to sink it. It's great.
Bionix isn't gingy.
I'm Running simply honey 3.9.1 with cmenards 1.42ghz bullet kernel.... posted some pics below... its the fastest, smoothest rom I've ever had. if you decide to up to gingerbread roms.... beware.... flashing bootloaders for them is scary unless you have a jig aka "download dongle". I built mine at radioshack for $1.19, some scotch tape, and an old car charger. more info on this if you sift through the stickies a bit. If you use the 1.42ghz kernel instead of the 1.2 the rom comes with, you can have access to the "smartass" governor (obviously SETCPU is necessary for these kernels)...... great for battery and awesome for raw speed
simply honey 3.9.1 for sure, a little bit trickier to flash then froyo roms but well worth it. and installing the bootloader is actually a lot easier now just make sure to follow instructions step by step
Ever think about a theme? The trigger theme for project v looks pretty damn good.
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X 1.2
Love it.
Hey friends, im way outdated with comm rom 2.0 what's the most stable smooth rom kernel combo? Preferably one that runs aosp launcher 2.0, undervolt, not much of an overclocker so that's not important... Thanks for any input
IMO Vanilla GB v7 is the bees knees at the moment. It's fast as hell, setup is quick, the kernel packaged with it is OCable but not needed, and it just works great overall. jt1134 designed it for his personal use. That cat is a monster.

Is that the cm7 nightly fascinate emtd?

Oh nice does it have built in safe wifi tether too? Man im so put of date thanks for the input, found the thread on rootwiki
So I did my research and found out about the SD card problems... probably going to stay on comm rom cause im not too sure on stability anymore, here were the cons I found:
-SD card can get fried
-Camera not very good?
-Random reboots?
Ccampos has a GB Powerwashed ROM that is fully functioning and sweet as hell too. Plus Imnuts just wrote two new kernels that work with it-voodoo and non-voodoo. And that sd card problem is over now. It's all good either way, I still love UKB.
Sent via Morse code.
What was the SD card problem fix? Kernel related?
+1 on the PowerWash GingerBread. It's the most smooth and stable ROM I've run out of all the many, many ROM's of the past. The SD card issue is fixed, I know not how.
Not so sure about those new kernels by Imnuts. Thought last I heard they would not work.
Try the powerwashed ed05 1.2 by ccompos. His pwgb rom is nice too, but only has stock kernal right now. The pw 1.2 is actually smoother and faster w/ imnuts 0808 pbj kernal, but the otb fusion 1.6 kernal is not bad either.
