i was wondering what everybody was running? Im still on evil fascinate, ed04 (which sucks), with a standard volt kernel running overclocked at 1.24 or it gets all glitchy and force closes. Im wondering what rom, kernel, radio combo works the best these days. Ive been reading all sorts of stuff and am just not oo sure what to go with. I use my phone alot for web surfing, a few games, music, etc. I also wondered if my aftermarket extended battery will work. any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the devs that make this possibel cause without them this phone really sucks ass.
I have been searching for a great daily and after trying the cm7.1 Rom I thought it was great, the only deal breaker for me was the sound issues with speakerphone. So i tried powerwashed and think is great, very stable and reliable.
Hope that helps, try it see what you think.

honestly im not sure how you could consider the speakerphone echo a deal breaker on cm7.1... thats a very minimal issue at best imo, but to each is own. I do agree pwbg is a great rom aswell.
After constantly bouncing around ROMs, this is honestly the best setup I have had thus far: PWGB ROM with the Adrenaline Shot, fixpermissions.zip, EC09 radio, and the GeeWiz 2.1 kernel (very basic kernel, flashed to remove hotspot monitoring). I have tried the custom kernels but they remove a lot of stability for me. Also check out the sweet honeycomb theme for it!
do i just odin the eho9 radio? i have ed04 and i have trouble with having 3g or any signal for that matter. would eh09 be better? will it work with cm7, miui, or powerwsahed?
Yes Odin the ec09 modem...much better than ed04 IMO. Getting 1.3mb down on speakeasy.
I'm still running EC01, even with PWGB. Never had a data/call problem, ever.
I use my speakerphone a lot, so for me it is a deal breaker, it's a great Rom nonetheless
For powerwashed i restored back to original since i had to use the pit file to repatriation, think is great so far.

And here is why you have to try all the roms yourself. i was on powerwashed GB rom and i hated it. Very glitchy and the touchscreen would freeze. Tried everything to try and cure it, adrenaline shot, turning off the 100mhz setting. To make matters worse something in that rom borked my connection to a PC, I couldnt get it to recognize my phone. I tried for 3 days finally got a connection and i dumped that pile. CM7.1 and been pretty good so far tho all roms have glitches you just have to try out what works best for you.
BTW best data connection I ever got was on the EB01 radio, I was getting 1.5 meg down. EC09 was horrible I got around 200k down. I'm on ED05 now will see how it does.
Im set up on powerwashed now and my screen freezes and im constantly takeing screenshots. I think im gonna give espresso a try. Thanks to everyone whos giveing their two cents on this. Greatly appreciated but I guess its trial and error. I do like to see everbodys feedback tho.

Well what I have seen here lately is that their are multiple ways to root. But on top of that all the roms have different glitches. So I'm still stuck with debating and fixing my phone constantly. I'm running an old miui and can't really see a way to try the new 1.10.14.

once the glitch kernel implements Jt's GPS fix, cm7.1 and glitch will be the best and fastest! It's the most overclock and also You can under-volt more than another kernel.

Glitch already is imo... I just use gps booster from market until the fix is implemented. Getting the same gps results as jt's kernal this way.

I've tried literally every Rom for my vibrant as they came out over time...and and my GPS sometimes work and don't. Mounting and random little glitches. The most stable rom I've used is 2.1 Stock, and I justed flashed 2.2 Stock. Whats everyone opinions? I thinking decent GPS. XD

Have you tried digitaltoddys fix? It's in the general sticky (signature).
Trigger works perfect for me.
The Trigger or the Axura both provide pretty good GPS. Both, I get 10-15 sats with 5-7 lock 20-40 sec average.
Also, GPS aids and the digitaltoddys fix both work as well. You just have to experiment with them. Plus, when you first test (after fresh flash) you need to let it find for about 3-5 mins for 1st run, after that flawless.......... at least for me
GPS seems very strange in my experience and may depend on your location. Personally I've found KB1 and bionix v 1.3 or trigger to be the best, while others have issues getting locks on this modem. It may be due to hardware differences, but it's tough to narrow it down. Best bet is to experiment and see what works best for you.
I've been using the stock 2.2 and GPS locks instantly. No Mounting issues or data problems. Completely Awesome.
I've using axura without any issue. GPS usually lock within a couple of seconds.
Is the GB radio leak and a rom good enough for a stable daily driver. Also which rom would you recommend? I'm using the froyo based Bamf remix right now.
CM7
I'm running CM7 with the 223r radio. I don't know about the 2.0 GB radio. It is a bit of a process to get everything working on CM7 at this point. I had to flash twice just to get the GPS working. It was well worth it in my opinion. It was the only way that I know of to get BT wiimote working. I prefer AOSP over any manufactured UI. I do have a reboot a day or so. I get a GPS within a minute or so. I've had to re-apply the wifi fix once. So if you're a tinkerer or you don't mind flashing go for it.

The radio is the best thing that comes with the GB leak, IMHO. Signal is better for me.

Sorry to say I have not tried it, but what I have read that has more to do with the kernel. I would say load the rom then go and get this kernel.

Concur!! Everything with the GB radio so far has been excellent.
Gingeritis beta VII
Only issue is the stock messaging app has time stamp issues making them come in out of oorder. For me at least. Handcent doesn't have this issue.
Thanks for posting this thread! I had the same question, and thanks to all who replied.
I'm most probably gonna try out Gingeritis. Hopefully there aren't too many issues that prevents it from being my daily driver for sometime..
You can still get WiFi Tether in the Market.
Step 1.) Turn On Airplane Mode
Step 2.) Turn On WiFi
Step 3.) Go Into App Market and Search for "WiFI Tether"
Step 4.) Download and TADA!
It worked for me a few days ago.
Bamf GB has ben solid for me...known issue with the camera hack can lag but does the job for now
I've flashed das BAMF 2.0 betas 2,3, and 4.01 and the only hiccup I've had was one random reboot immediately after flashing beta 3. Everything that I use on a daily basis is fully functional. Unfortunately I'm not able to speak about wireless tether or blue tooth because I never use either of them. Also, I'm not in a 4g area, so I don't know about LTE functionality or 3g/4g transitions. I was very hesitant to flash a ROM based on the gingerbread leak, but team BAMF has really done a great job with an alpha leak. It is definitely stable for me and is my current daily driver, although I know there have been bugs experienced by other users. Lastly, I had been moving away from Sense with the froyo ROMs. I was very impressed with CM7 alpha test 4, and I was using Vanilla Bean 1.2.1 as my daily driver before the gingerbread leak. However, the new Sense 3.0 aspects of das BAMF 2.0 and a couple of the other gingerbread ROMs are great.
Gingeritis works awesome! I love the Sense 3.0 stuff, My speedtest.net almost doubled in my house... maybe it was an anomaly, but I ran the speedtest via the flash based website 3 times with the same results...
No, as of 5.25.11 jcase has informed the community that running the leaked Gingerbread radio could lead to a bricked device.

I'm running Gingeritis VIII and it's a daily. Runs great!

It's all about what you want to deal with. Both the new GB leak and CM7 have bugs. If you can see past the bugs because you the functionality and features outweigh the bugs, then you would definitely want to use them as daily drivers. If, on the other hand, you want something a little bit more stable, you may wish to stick with a Froyo ROM. BAMF 1.6.3 for Froyo is excellent.
You'll also have to deal with missing functionality since it's new.
Kernel isn't stable (mainly an issue if you happen to want to adjust the voltage, etc), but you might get random reboots either way.
No direct internet connection sharing to your pc via usb (using your phone's connection for internet).
Many of the modifications have not been ported you would find in froyo roms or if they have, they're a work in progress (6 bar signal, battery icon).
GPS isn't quite as quick as it was due to the unstable nature of the leak.
Various other little things here and there that are missing/buggy like the camera not working entirely correct as it would in froyo.
If you want to be a beta tester/lab rat, feel free to flash
Das BAMF 2.0-4.01 and loving the sense 3.0 in it
for das bamf, un install htc sync and reinstall and the connection works perfectly again
I am currently running the Evil Fascinate 3.6 Rom with the OTB Reloaded 1.6 Kernel and the official ED04 Radio. Definitley like this setup but was wondering if there is anything else i should try? Haven't really done anything as far as overclocking but i would like to speed up my phone a bit but not too much were it kills my battery. and would like to get the best possible signal as far as the radio goes. The radio I'm using i will sometimes have a missed call or lose satellite location within the GPS. Just looking for any setup recommendations that someone else might be using that is getting a great result in every category. Any theme recommendations would be appreciated as well. I don't have a theme flashed yet with the EF 3.6 because I like the black theme.
I'm running ComRom 2.1 over ED01 with imnuts' PBJ -50 voodoo kernel. My fascinate doesn't take kindly to overclocking so PBJ is perfect. Phone's pretty snappy and gets good battery life (24+ hours on a full charge with moderate use), and I have yet to miss a call. Signal is decent like always and I usually get a pretty quick lock with gps.

I use Jt1134's CM7 (0704 build) with Nemesis2all's OTB for MIUI/CM7 (0704 build)
I have it OCed to 1.4 GHz running stable. (Battery life is excellent too. . .*)
I use the ED01 radio. It seems very stable and the signal is great.
*Still needs calibrated though. . . will update when done.
Question about CM7?
Ok thanks for the info. Quick ?, are you running into any problems with the CM7 rom? Heard some people had issues with MMS and some other things?

MMS is not functional in CM7. At all. Since I rarely (if ever) need or use MMS, I don't mind.
Keep in mind CM7 is still in an alpha state. So it has a couple minor issues (LED cannot be used as a torch, there is a little bit of lag in some of the sensors, etc.) But it is the most functional "alpha" I have seen.
Running EC09 radio. No complaints here.

never heard of that happening with ComRom, I suspect ED04 may have something to do with it.. I don't really know what to do about that except maybe a full data/cache wipe and reflash of ComRom or changing your radio to ED01 or maybe even EB01, never had a problem with those

Rom: Jt's CM7 Build 0713
Kernel: Nemesis2all's OTB 2.6.35.13
Radio: EC09
Everything has been running superbly with this set up
So I am on Superclean 2.9.2 with a voodoo kernel, and radio is EB01
I have not upgraded in at least 6 months+
So far my phone has been pretty stable, only big thing I would love is to find a rom that has much better battery life, but I doubt i will find that, just the way smartphones are.
What are the real advantages of going to some of these new GB roms? I see cm has some issues with Flashcard, and not sure if it will even work with mine since still using stock that came with phone, and data dropping out.
Thanks
GB tends to be faster. Miui is the only one that I've used that data never drops out. I'd say battery life is similar for me between TW (2.2) and GB.
I'm on miui and glitch and I average at least 14 hours which I'm happy with, I very seldom half to plug it in other than during the night.

fwiw i run dh12 with the stock kernel and am very happy
which one is dh12?
I am getting confused which modem is best? EC09? EH09? EI20?
I read in one post EC09 can corrupt SDcard? so best to stay way from that one? and stick to EH09 and EI20?

dh12 was a joke (it was our launch rom last september)
you cannot use eh09 or ei20 modem on the vzw fascinate...ec09 is *usually* the best modem to use on gb (aosp or tw) but some people have better results with eb01 or ec01

My battery actually improved with gb
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I think the PowerWashed GB (it is from the mesmerize, and is NOT an SDcard risk) is a great rom. Better battery life, 0 force closes, and the radio is amazingly consistent(data or calls are VERY rarely dropped. The speed of my fascinate also improved.
My only caveat with this rom is 3 fold... There is a charge bug, where it tells you your battery is 100% when it's 95% or 87%. Second, there is no verizon network recognition (the market doesn't have verizon apps, essentially. Everything else network based works perfectly though). Lastly... After being created and made nearly perfect... Development has stalled out on it. The battery charge issue is one of the only things I'd like to see developed, but I'm not sure that will happen.
In short... Try gingerbread, i don't think you'll regret it.

I've been trying for weeks to get GPS to work on my rooted phone. I've tried many ROMS, Kernels, and modems. GPS does not work at all. It worked occasionally on the stock Verizon software. After rooting, the only time GPS worked was once on MIUI, but didn't work again. Tonight I tried Cyanogenmod nightly #98, Glitch v13 kernel, with a bunch of different modems. GPS didn't work with any of them, data was between horrible and 40 kB/s, but that might be my area.
I just don't want to pick another ROM and blindly try kernels and modems for hours with no results.
What ROM/kernel/modem combination works the best for working GPS for you guys?

Try eh03 superclean with TKS bleeding edge kernel.
better to be safe than odining - me
You prolly have something wrong with your hardware. Pool party (mtd rom) gets me a lock with 9 of 11 birds in 6 seconds. And I get same results on stock.
good day.
I have the same problem. I'm convinced its hardware. Worked great for months and then just stopped. I can get it working maybe 5% of the time. Have used every Rom at one point or another, if it happened to you to it has to be hardware.

For now, eh03. So far so good..quadrant is around 1600. Not bad. Stable though. Sc03 with tksb 11-16kernal wasnt happy with my phone. Keep rebooting, freezes up..
