I was wondering where to find some kernels for cm7, and whos tried which ones. which are working well and which are not working so well.
For anyone else who had a hard time finding kernels for cm7
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021404]
+1 for imoseyon's kernels, only kernels I have been running for a while now and they are awesome.
Imoseyons are the sh*t, but drod also has one.
I think Im ready to move back to a Froyo Rom from the Flashback Rom. I cant wait any longer for the kernel update. What is the fastest and most stable 1.2 bootloader Froyo Rom? What is the closest thing to the old VeganTab 5.1.1? That was my favortie Rom from bootloader 1.1. If I had the time I would try them all but I got a newborn at home so no time. thanks

I hear you, I like the eye-candy of the Honeycomb roms but I've always been a performance over eye-candy kinda guy.
That being said, I've tried all forms of roms on this tablet but the one I kept going back to (and currently using) is the Beasty/Clemsyn rom which ironically also uses VTL (Vegan Tab Launcher) as its default launcher.
Using SetCPU will allow you to OC to 1.6 as well as undervolt it. (gets kinda hot at 1.6 without undervolting)
Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573
There is actually an easy way to get the 5.1.1 ROM on BL 2.0. Just install the 1.1 ROM and flash a 1.2 Kernel over it before rebooting. I used Clems newest Froyo kernel.
The fastest I've come across the the C&C ROM. Fast, and stable, with almost everything working. I say "almost" because myself and a few others have problems with gifs on web pages from some unknown reason. My second choice, and the one I use, is Brilliant Corners.
Btw Clemesyn has released the Ultimate froyo ROM. A port from notion ink. I think you should try it. The rom is in development thread
Which one is better, the Clemsyn+Caulkin or Clemsyn+Beastly rom? Or are they the same just visually different?

On my Gtab, Clemsyn+Beasty is way faster. Stable as a heavy rock. I've run a lot of different roms, but have found none that can match C+B for my usage.
BTW, if you do decide to go with Beasty, make sure that you get his latest update. I believe it was released 10-14-2011. I had an earlier version, and had some Skype issues with it. The new version has corrected those.
I should mention that I have also run the C+C rom (yesterday in fact) just to compare. Nope, doesn't come close to the speed of C+B.
Good luck.
Just flashed C+B from recommendations on this thread. Loving it so far.
Does the portrait orientation drive anybody else insane?

Main thing is C+C has the Tap-n-Tap elements and C+B is a NI/Adam port which is more Android like.
I cannot stand the Tnt menus, so my daily is C+B. And its FAST, stable, and everything works.
Thank you everyone for posting. I will try out the Clemsyn+Beastly rom. It sounds like a true beast. Ill post back with my experience on it.
Personally i would try the rom Brilliant Corners. It is hands down my favorite Froyo rom.
Why don't you give VEGanTab 7.1 a try, it is Gingerbread 2.3. Everything works on that ROM, camera, BT, h.264 video etc. OC to 1.6 using Clemsyn's Gingerbread kernel.

Looks like an interesting rom, and I'd try it IF they could get the video camera working. I use Skype for video chats, and since the camera in VT 7.1 only works in still mode, not video, that is a deal killer for me.
Nice eye candy though.
I am having problems with this rom. I am posting here because I didn't have sufficient credit to post in the actual thread. I flashed and it works great, but now whenever I try to install an apk, it reboots every single time and never installs. Any ideas on how to fix this? I went back to factory firmware and wiped everything completely clean before flashing to this rom.

After flashing I always boot back into recovery and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvic as well. Wives your issues I would also suggest fixing permissions.
Try this and see if it helps.
Thanks Joeb. Everytime I went back to recovery it was the built in recovery from the rom and not the cwm one. I just chose wipe factory/user data and all works now. One thing I noticed coming from gtacomb was the gtacomb browser had more features and was 10x faster than the one that comes with this rom. Anyway to get the honeycomb version of browser on this tab?
On my gtablet C+C is faster than C+B.... As everyone was saying that C+B was the faster froyo rom I gave it another try on past weekend but I still feel that C+C is faster and more stable...
Maybe it's because I'm not using any app to manage the overclock features?
Does VeganTab 7.1 have hardware acceleration? We might be able to have skype videochats working if we flash Clemsyn fix for that...
I have tryed many of Roms and Flashed my Gtab more then I can think of and always end up reloading Beast. To me its seems to be the most stable and reliable Rom for Froyo. I like that I can customize it with different boot Images and wallpaper to make it almost portray Vegan 7.0. If one was to choose a everyday user I would believe that Beast would be hands down the one to choose. As far as the browser issue I don't use the one it came with and use Dolphin HD. Way better and a perfect match for this Rom.
Can someone tell me a few differences between unnamed and cm7? I've scoured the Web and narrowed it down between these two mods. I'm looking for features and good battery life. I webbrowse and listen do music a lot.

I have used and extensivly tested both of them, if you want the
full features of your camera to remain intact you should select
the UnNamed 1.0.4 rom. CM7 lacks many of the features in the
camera part of the phone and it does not give you the full 30fps
framerates while recording videos as well as other issues.
Not only that, but the cosmetic appearance of the camera's lcd screen looks
like some cheapy camera phone and lacks many of the options which are found
in all the stock and custom roms except in CM7.
Hope this helps.
CM7 is good, but still has some rough edges.. I would suggest unnamed as your option being a new Android user. unnamed is based on the stock ROM and enhances on the stock rom. So basically everything works out of the box as it was intended to be
Okay thanks guys! Exactly what I needed. I thought since CNET was bigger, it would be better. good thing I asked!

As stated above there are a lot of difference between the two roms you mentioned above. I would say try them all out as it is very easy. Get a rom working THE WAY YOU LIKE IT, then make a nandroid backup, try out another rom and set it up the way you like it and then make a nandroid backup. Then you can easily go between roms or stick with what you like best. As far as CM7 goes (I have been using CM7 since my captivate) and have found I like it the best. Due to integrated modifications and such it has everything working great. I do see that the camera works well but is not the same as the stock camera as far as settings and the CM7 camcorder (haven't noticed any issues personally) framerates not working as good as stock/stock based roms, and speed dial is not built in. Those are the ONLY things that can use some work in my humble opinion. But if your like me and want to customize easier, switch to different themes on the fly without any problems other than opening up the built in theme Chooser app. For stock roms I always had to wait for the theme developer to update his theme between rom updates due to framework changes, sometimes this would be the same day to a few days in between. Just trying to share some of the benefits CM7 may have. I have also tried different roms as UnNamed rom and they do work really well, the speed and fluidity of the stock based roms is as good as CM7 right now (wasn't the case on my captivate as CM7 worked smoother and faster than stock based roms). Plus CM7 will PROBABLY have ICS working before it is working on the stock roms. There are many things to look at and try out, so that is why I recommend trying them all out and find what you like.

Simply put, do you want it to be smooth or not? UnNamed is liquid butter smooth for me, cm wasn't. I have a very picky eye for this kind of thing being a pc gamer
tried both... Preferring CM7 at this point...
Although it's nice that the Stock-based firmwares (unNamed) work 100%, I know that development for CM7 is not far behind, and will soon surpass anything stock-based can offer.
The only real upside to unNamed over CM7 at the moment is the fully working Wifi Hotspot feature. (Which will of course be fixed soon in CM7) as well as the MHL (USB to HDMI adapter)...
Again... Both are good roms. But if you want to get on the Ice-cream truck sooner; go with CM. If you want things working %100 without a lot of trouble... Go with unNamed.

I like CM7 as well however the Camera is one of the main feats of the phone, and if there was a good alternative whether 3rd party or not i would keep CM7 (its still on a NAND backup) but there isnt. Not even the MIUI Camera works (which is kinda nice). Also, the MHL out doesn't work as you mentioned, and battery life is fairly close to one another.
I personally bounce back between serendipity and Cm7, However IF there was a way to run a i9100 rom on our phones, then i would run gingerMOD all the way.
First off let me say, I am not badgering anybody here. But my question is, why "in my experience" do all the modded kernels break webtop.....specifically the webtop statusbar?
I love flashing my phone and trying new things, but it seems that all the kernels break webtop. I have done the modded webtop (debian), and no matter what rom and modded kernel, it just dont work. When I install the stock AT&T kernel, everything works just fine.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem?
FYI, I am running Darkside 2.8, webtopmod, and "stock" at&t kernel, and everything is working great!! Just wondering what is up with webtop and modded kernels?
My webtop run faster with OC =p

I believe faux123 fixed the issue in 0.2.1 of his kernel. Id try it for yourself.

When I was on Darkside 2.6 I flashed faux's 0.2.1 kernel and 0.1.9 and my webtop was working flawlessly.
Faux is working on it, I tested two kernels for him yesterday....still a no go. But he is aware, and working on it
Mine works wonderfully with Faux's @ 1.4Ghz

Have you tried clicking on the "upper right" icons for web-top panel. They were unresponsive. If they work for you, then you are lucky!! He is currently working on a fix for that problem. His latest "test kernel" fixes web-top panel...but he is still tweaking it.
I highly doubt your web-top panel was working on his 1.45 ghz kernel, when it wasn't working for anyone else. Check his thread, we are very close to a fully functional webtop/working oc kernel.
On the other hand, my question for you is, are you on a stock rom...ext3? I use ext4 roms and webtop2sd always force closes. I;m thinking it's because the rom I use is ext4....can you confirm? Would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on R-9 V5 ROM and Ext4 because all others gave me problems under Webtop2sd for some weird reason.
The top bar was working great until I posted about it yesterday lol.
Yesterday I was testing other Faux and Clemsyn Kernels with different OC speeds trying to fix my wifi tethering and now I notice my top bar disappeared altogether under Webtop! Even when I return to the Kernel I was originally using at 1.4 now the top bar is gone.
Don't know which kernel broke it.
Will be testing some more.
Cheers

Anyone found a fix for this yet? I am using Faux 2.0 (now 2.1, but my last test was with 2.0) stock enhanced and the bar is gone so it's pretty useless. Just bought the lapdock from AT&T for $50 as they clear out stock. Might switch to OC kernel so I dont' have such a laggy webtop, and maybe can install programs so it isn't entirely useless.
I am currently running CM7 nightlies on my Incredible and it is running flawlessly. With that said, my brothers wife has had a terrible time with her stock Facinate on Verizon. I would like to install CM7 on her phone since I have had such a good experience with it on my Incredible.
How is CM7 on the Facinate? Any issues/limitations? Any certain build or kernel suggestions?
Thanks!
I ran CM7 for about 2 weeks. It's stable, which is a good thing. I like the themes option.. but for me.. it just wasn't fast enough.. don't get me wrong, it's quick and responsive, and it does not lag... my speed concerns is after bootup or reboot... it seems to take forever for everything to load and run right. Also, I found the Market (which is only available via seperate flash) lost it's connection more than once, and I had to reboot several times to get it to work.
This is the main reason I dumped CM7 for the Fascinate. I need my stuff to work.. plain and simple.
I went back to stock froyo ED05 2.2.2, then updated through VZN update to Gingerbread 2.3.5. Then Rooted the phone using superuser.zip below. I ODIN'd CWM Recovery, and flashed SU to root (see attachments) and then flashed the KGB Kernel located here. (The lastest is 12.12, but I don't like it as much as the 11.27 version.. maybe it's the smiley face boot screen that got me)
I couldn't ask for a better setup. Running ADW Launcher EX... smooth as a babies bottom and everything works as it should.
I hope this help you mate.
If she doesn't know what CM7 is I wouldn't install it for her. Last I checked, there are still some issues. Phantom ring is one where you get a loud ringtone in the earpiece after you answer a call every now and then. When I was running it, I had to toggle airplane mode sometimes to get back 3G data. It's mostly very functional but there are little things like that.
For a non power user just go with the EH03 debloated ROM or maybe superclean.
CM7 with glitch kernel v13 runs pretty much flawless for me. Imo its the fastet setup you can put on the fascinate right now(when its setup correctly)...pool party is another good one. I have tried every current rom/kernel and I keep coming back to this setup. I do prefer go launcher ex over the adw, w/ ICS theme. Up until 2 months ago TW was all I ran because mtd roms still had some bugs. Now that MTD is fully functional it was a no brainer to make the switch!

He could also Odin the EH03 based Geewiz (which is a debloat of stock EH03 with nothing added) or flash Superclean 3 which is a debloat + a bit more. Either way he will get a rooted setup nearly identical to yours with a lot less steps and no super slow OTA download. =)
As for your reports on CM7...that is a bit strange. CM7 is almost universally considered faster and more responsive than the Touchwiz releases. Personally, I preferred Sbrisens Pool Party when I used a mtd ROM which can be found over at rootzwiki. And while I'm on the subject of rootz, Awesome Sauce is another excellent Touchwiz based ROM if you would prefer to stay on something gcloser to Samsung's releases.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

I actually took your advice on this one as well. I'm now running CM7.1 Stable with Glitchv13 kernel. It seems to run a lot more stable with the glitch kernel... so far so good.
I also bounce between Go Launcher, adw, LLP, and the Espier (iphone)... lol Thanks agian.
Has the phantom ring been fixed? I actually switched to MIUI and glitch v13 last week and haven't seen it.

Not from my experience. I am running the latest nightly and still get phantom ring every now and again. Its a small price to pay for the features added from this great ROM!
I got the phantom ring running CM7.2 RC0, Glitch13.
Have to have Glitch for the in-call volume bug.

The phantom ring is getting so bad that I'm going to have to ditch CM7. I can't have my phone stuck phantom ringing when on silent during business meetings.
This is ridiculous, someone please help.
As much as I love all the features, it's pretty annoying when a phantom ring goes off in class
Are you guys using the stock kernel or glitch? I honestly don't know if there are any changes in the glitch kernel that would effect phantom rings, but I only had one phantom ring in my time on CM7 (using glitch).
I'm coming from every version of glitch including test. They never went away. Trying CM7.2 RC kernel as my last chance.
if CM7 isnt snappy enough for you i would definitely recommend OMGB, I used that for awhile and it was great.
I'm on TSM Resurrection, with KGB. Amazing battery life compared to stock and CM7. Zero issues so far except BLN that gets stuck on.
I have no idea why CM7 is so pitiful on the Fassy.

cm7 was far from pitiful...cm9 poops on touchwiz.
Yeah but stuff doesn't work like in cm7 the latest gapps don't offer Google voice or voice to text from the keyboard. I believe I had the same issues with cm9... along with lags and freezes. I'd go to cm7 in a heartbeat if I can get the voice text work in SMS. Just imho
