I'm making the move to Gingerbread, but I can't decide between CM7 and OMFGB.
Looking for some pros and cons, opinions, battery life, kernel suggestions, etc
Thanks!
In my opinion , and i've ran both, I like CM7.
I like the constant updates in CM7, and that it just works well.
I've had issues with battery drain, random reboots, etc etc with OMFGB
But try them out, it's not hard to flash between them two without wiping all your data. They're both CM7 basically

Thanks, I'm leaning heavily toward CM7... I think I'll wait for the next nightly - 10/20 - since it looks to have a LOT of updates.
I've fiddled with CM7 and MIUI quite a bit. CM7 has lockscreen gestures. MIUI has themes. I prefer MIUI. Both are stable and have decent battery life and GPS works fine with a workaround or two.
Both Cm7 and MiUi required that I reboot the phone everytime I wanted to use the GPS.
Also I would make sure you can dial 911 as some claim you can't.
That hasn't been my experience with the current GPS fixes. I leave my GPS turned on (since it burns no noticeable juice when it's not active) and run AngryGPS a few minutes before I need the navigation system so it has time to get a proper lock. Works like a charm. Never had to restart to get it to work.
Thanks for the info and opinions

I'm sure there are a million threads like this, and if there are i am sorry. But how is CyanogenMod 7 for us on the Vibrant? Because i really want to use this rom, because it is gingerbread, but how STABLE is it and how is battery life?
I dont use GPS nor do i use data so i have no problem going without them. If y'all could let me know what you think of it that would be fantastic.
P.S. I'm using Bionix NextGen and its somewhat decent, i just want an upgrade.
I'm using CM7 with Bo data (data works, but I don't have the data plan), and have no need for GPS.
Battery life is ok, I can make around 20hours on a charge. Haven't noticed anything too bad yet.

I gave up on it, as while most of the major functionality was fine, I got random FC's with some fully stable apps, and I couldn't handle the rainbow screen issues.
From what I've read, it looks like with some tweeking and the proper kernal some users have gotten it very stable. My suggestion, is do some reading, particularly the OP's on the CM7 and Kernal threads.
i can speak to this, have been running the newest and second to newest updates of CM7. very stable and usable -gps would be nice, but it is stable and reliable.
battery life could be better, i am used to having 20-30 hours with 2.2 roms, but i get right 16-18 hours with moderate use.
you can also try simply galaxy
Just switched back from CM7 to trigger3.2. Battery life was horrible.(tried switching kernels)
I'm a bit discouraged by the whole EFS Backup/restore business. Is this ever likely to not be an issue?
Just a thread to see what the majority of people are choosing to run right now and which you have tested as well. This is NOT intended to be any type of a bashing thread, just please stick to what you've tested and what you've chosen to currently use.
As for myself, I'm running UnNamed from gtg and have been for a bit now. I've removed a few additional pieces of software that I didn't want and modified the battery icon but other than that, it's pretty much as is.
I've tested and have a backup of CM 7 and I'm planning to test Cognition next...
I am running UnNamed, I had a circle battery mod, but flashed the full update and have stuck with it as-is. I ran Cognition with no issues or complaints, but wanted the extended power menu.
Sent from my SGS II
I'm running Cognition as of yesterday. For a few days before that I was running a stock + root ROM.
I must say, my battery lasts sooooooo much longer since installing Cognition compared to Stock. I just now hit 90% and it's been off the charger (getting regular use: some idle, some web browsing, some pp installs) for about 6 hours now.
I love it.

I'm on Cognition and haven't tried others, yet. It works and as ROMs have appeared, I've pulled what I wanted from them. I get great battery life (3 hours of display time, but lately it's been increasing - yesterday I got 4 and today I'm on pace for over 5 hours of display ). I'm really interested in CM7. I hadn't tried it yet because I'm not convinced that it's bug free (which is important for me). What did you think of it?
I'm getting such poor battery life still, even after rooting and removing data hogs (AP Mobile, etc.), running BBS and CPUSpy to monitor, and turning off unnecessary sync. I'm thinking about moving to Cognition, but I kinda like Touchwiz's interface and the safety of running stock.

I liked CM7. I probably didn't give it enough time to make an accurate assessment of it as I liked the idea of trying UnNamed simply because I like the stock build as it is... minus the garbage bloatware and wanted the extended power menu. I'd highly recommend giving CM7 a shot though. I simply get each rom running and then do a full nandroid backup in case I want to go back in the future - barring any major improvements of course in which case I'll start out fresh.

I have to say that I was never much of a believer in Juice Defender but between running that program and doing a battery calibration with the app, BatteryCalibration, my battery life has increased quite a bit. I've still got Gmail auto syncing but I have turned off 'Back up my data' in Privacy and keep GPS off until I need it. Everything else is running as is. Oh and no Facebook or Words with Friends. I login to Facebook via Dolphin HD when I have to check it on the go.
Running UnNamed 1.0.3 and really like it. Clean, snappy and excellent battery life (yes, better than stock rom).

+1 for UnNamed.... love that rom!
Ive been on cog beta 4 for a while and it is perfect. Picked up DD exp kernal a few days ago and its still perfect. Perfect combo i guess. Battery life is amazing. After 15 hour days i am always getting 4 hours of screen on time along with playing music thoughout the day and few calls and messages data and sync always on.
I have yet to have any problems and gonna make this my offical "go back to, stable rom" when others start to drive me nuts. I would like to just stay on this rom and call it good cause its perfect but that never happens.

Wow.... That sounds impressive. I may need to give that rom a whir then.
Hello fellas.
As you probably can tell, I'm new here.
I bought a Vibrant close to a month ago, and I just flashed ICS Passion v11b5 on it.
But now I have a problem. When I try GPS test, it gives me 1-4 satelites in view, but 0 in use.
Is there a way to fix this? I really use GPS a lot.
Whould appreciate any usefull replies.
Umm about the last 40 pages in the ICS thread is about this issue. It is a well known bug that is being worked on, but no fix yet.
If GPS is that important, you might want a solid, stable 2.2
This is the sole reason i switched from ICS Passion to Bionix-v fishman mod. I love what Neobuddy has done but I had to have a good gps.

I have come from MIUI to ICS Passion v13 w/cleanup patch. With MIUI I had solid GPS performance; with ICS Passion I can see sats but it takes at least 10 minutes to get a lock, if I get one at all. I flashed back to MIUI to check and I get GPS.
I would stay with MIUI, but I get the mute/unmute bug, which I don't get with ICS Passion. I notice in some ICS Passion screen shots that others have the KB5 modem. Mine is KA6. Would flashing to KB5 alter my GPS performance? I haven't been able to check because none of the download links to KB5 modems work. (Multiupload is offline.) Does anyone have the KB5 modem they could post?
Thanks Neobuddy for an otherwise awesome ROM-very smooth.

I did the same thing. I also used the BlueMyst Theme and the ICS fonts. It's really a great, stable, and fast rom.
gps
The gps for the passion rom has always been an issue. The gps is different for everyone. Ive been following the passion rom for awhile and there have been a variety of "fixes" that my or may not work with you. You can try changing the modem first. You can also try to upgrade to passion v13 if u wish to test that. If that makes no difference i suggest you google yet another gps fix for the i9000 (dont worry it works for the vibrant, im using it currently) and flash the fix. If none of those work u might want to google vibrant gps hardware fix (this dkes require takin apart your phone). Goodluck
What has worked for me, and I know that may not be representative of all phones, is the following:
1) flashed passion rom v13RC-1.
2) Backed up Angry GPS with titanium backup
3) Uninstalled Angry GPS with titanium backup
4) Flashed v11b5_boot clockwork, clearing cache and dalvik cache (No factory reset)
5) test GPS before your phone goes into deep sleep with any test app from the market (I used GPS Test)
6) turn off GPS and let your phone go into deep sleep
7) Test GPS again. This is where most people have trouble getting GPS to connect again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961 has the v11b5_boot I mentioned.
Let me know if anything was unclear or how it worked out for you.
Thanks to all of you for the suggestions. I ended up using the advice from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370910
It suggests installing yagf2.zip. So far, its working after a reboot. Haven't yet tried the deep sleep thing, but I'll let you know. If this solves the gps, then I'm staying with ICS.
I tried the yagf2.zip as well before reverting back to v11b5. GPS does work after reboot, but either the phone will not go into deep sleep (Wake locked) after GPS is disabled, or if you do manage to get it into deep sleep, the GPS will not turn back on after. I tired yagf2.zip with and without angryGPS installed. At first I thought everything was working well after screen off, but I noticed using CPUspy that the phone never actually went into deep sleep. I works as a quick fix for heavy GPS users, but your battery life will be abysmal.
So far I've been in and out of deep sleep (well, my phone has) and I'm still able to get a lock. I'm using CPU spy also and it shows that I am actually entering the phone's version of REM. I have AngryGPS installed and didn't remove it before flashing yagf2.zip. It just shows that Samsung did a crappy job with the gps hardware; all our phones are so different.
EDIT: Just got back from a trip around town in the car. GPS pretty spotty. I'd get a fix for 2 or 3 minutes, then maps would suddenly show me 8 blocks across town driving through a park... then back to real location. meh.

Agreed, great GPS. Wifi calling is also important to me because I travel abroad extensively. (Saves exorbitant roaming charges).
Until the ICS roms become more stable, I'll stick with Bionix 1.3.1 (fishmanmod) with Bali 1.8.8uv kernel.
New ICS kernell (kiss) should have fixed that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22733142&postcount=10214

a u sure?
for i am using the rom ICS_Euphoria_RC1 with a kiss kernell.
The gps could lock at the very time after a reboot (without deepsleep), and worked well before the next reboot.
However, if i dont lock the gps and let the phone goes to deepsleep, the gps will go to sleep and never wake up before another reboot.
that my problem.
could any kernell fix it?
Hi All,
I have been using CM7 and Dorian´s Redpill Hybrid. But now I need something much more stable and with great battery life. My problem is that at times I get random reboots and the screen is unable to be unlocked.
Now I have had a lot of ICS theming and I would like to keep some ICS-like stuff. I know that for battery its best to use Faux optimized kernel.
Now I do not really mind if I have to go back to nearly stock with blur and all, but I really need a rom that will not freeze up on me and will not go randomly rebooting on me.
Thanks to all for any help!
I'm thoroughly convinced that the "freezes" and "random reboots" is an inherent problem of the Atrix itself as it happens across all ROMs (either in my experience or through reading about it in threads).
Go to each ROM thread and view the most recent pages to see what people are experiencing in regards to battery life and stability. The responses you get in a post like this will more than likely be far too biased and inconsistent with actual usage.

Neutrino and CM7 stable with Faux 0.2.3 1.0ghz seems to be the best combination for me, have nothing but good things to say about both.
As for reboots, I can't say I've had the problem, but it seems like lots of people do from time to time, more so on other roms that I've noticed just glancing over threads.
Neutrino has to be one of the best ROM's I've ever experienced. It's well maintained and has a host of performance improvements. I've experienced some of the best battery life AND stability with this rom.
The ICS alpha is going well but its a long way away from matching the maturity of Neutrino. The battery life is still an issue though so I wouldn't switch just yet. Once the "bluesleep" problem is taken care of then it will be a great rom with ICS as its backbone rather than just a theme!
Seems that every ROM I look at in here has a bunch of issues. I'm coming over from the OG Evo, and know nothing about photon's development- although I get the gist its an underappreciated device. Just looking for something to make it worth rooting the photon, which is a great phone imo.

have you tried CM9? sure theres a few bugs but its my daily. otherwise i hear that miui is turning out pretty good but i havnt flashed it myself for a few builds. you could always try cm7 or rokko also.
CM7 and CM9 are the best. Use both of them, CM7 is more stable and all works, but CM9 is very smooths and awesome!

As quick as it is to root the Photon I would do it just for the ability to use root apps. Then, try some of the custom locked roms available before you unlock. CM9 is a great rom but still a beta and has issues such as camera, signal, battery, etc. which is to be expected.
I still prefer the stock rom just because of full functionality, battery life, and signal quality but there are many good custom roms based off stock builds (which I have not tried) that might work well for you.
Running CM7 here and am happy with that as my daily driver. Not brave enough to try CM9 but that's just my personal preference/bias. Joker's non CM9 roms & Lokifish Marz's roms are also good choices.
Three great roms:
-CM7 (KANG)
-ROCKO 3.0 (NOT 3.5)
-Imperium Initiative 1.04
As for which is better... It's a tossup. CM7 last longer, but ROCKO feels more fluid and user friendly. CM7 is more technical...
CM9 is very impressive but it is a beta.

I'd like to quickly point out that Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9 beta is honestly pretty stable. The camera, MMS, signal, and battery life is very much exceeding my expectations, considering this is a rom that is labelled as a beta.
I'd also like to state my opinions towards the OP's original question: In order of stability, here is what I would recommend.
1-Stock. (obviously).
2-HomeBase
3-CyanogenMod 7.2
4-RockoRom 3.0 (3.5 is good as well, but based on experience I recommend 3.0)
5-Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9, link is in the beginning of my post.
6-Imperium Initiative
Finally, 7-[email protected]/[email protected]
The rom I use the most is Jokersax's CyanogenMod 9. It's a very good rom.
Quickly-- One last thing. If you DO flash a rom, please please please PLEASE do not complain about the battery life until you do these steps:
~Let your battery drain to 0%
~Charge your battery to 100%
~Wipe battery stats via the advanced menu in a custom recovery(recommended), or an application
~Drain battery to 0%, then charge to 100%.
Then you can complain about the battery life... if it's bad, that is. Lol.
MoPho on, my friend!

I was comparing CM9 to stock and there is no way CM9 has better battery than stock. Not even close. In my experience with running CM roms on multiple devices they all seem to drain the battery more I would assume due to the kernels used. I know this doesn't really have anything to do with stability but relates to the overall feel of the OP question I think which is why I mentioned it.
With that said roms are going to run different for each user especially with a beta build.

I don't quite remember saying that the battery life was better than stock... But surely sir, you must be doing something wrong. I have 2 photons running cm9, one is activated and one is not, the one that is activated has the minimum at 216 mhz and the max at 1300 mhz, and it's usual cpu is going at 800mhz-ish. the one that is not activated is clocked to the max at 1300mhz constantly, min is 1300 and max is obviously 1300. they both run roughly the same amount of time before dying, usually 7/8hrs. with stock, not rooted, my batter lasts anywhere from 8-9hrs being heavily used.
I never said that the battery life was better than stock on cm9, i said it was EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS FOR A BETA. Sir, you honestly should double check the post of which you're criticizing before you make such an accusation.
And of course roms are going to be different for everybody, depending on how they use it and what they do with it. I've only tweaked jokersax's build to fix the mms issue, as his fix doesn't help. my fix helps ME, but considering the fact that jokersax's fix works for plenty of others, that obviously points out the fact that roms run differently for everybody.
One last thing; who's cm9 build are you talking about? because you mentioned bugs, and jokersax's barely has any. the battery life issue has a solution that can be found at the end of my first post. please, read it.

I will say it.... jokers cm9 roms battery life kick the crap out of stock. It does have some pretty annoying bugs tho.... like everytime you rotate the screen while using the browser it force closes, or the camera that doesn't take great pictures...mainly with the flash. But other than that it does work pretty well.
I did just switch to cm7 and while everything on it seems to work great, the battery life is no where near as good as cm9.
Btw both I have Max CPU at 1000.

One last thing; who's cm9 build are you talking about? because you mentioned bugs, and jokersax's barely has any. the battery life issue has a solution that can be found at the end of my first post. please, read it.

I will only comment on a few items because we could go about this all day with really no positive outcome and the thread will be hijacked.
First, I am not doing anything wrong. This is not my first rodeo. Yes, I know about the battery "conditioning" steps at the end of your post. This is part of flashing 101. With what I am running on my phone it just wasn't the life I needed it to be.
With that said I agree with you on CM9 exceeding expectations. Great rom but OP was looking for a stable rom and beta versions have bugs.
We can agree to disagree and put it to rest?
