[Q] Best Kernel for CM7 Stable - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the best kernal for this version of CM7? I followed a tutorial on YouTube which used an Overstock kernal, but I'm not sure if that one is the best in terms of battery performance.

Anyone? I heard Bali is good.

There are 5 kernel available for CM also MIUI. (AFAIK)
1.Glith v13
2.EB7-Streamline
3.Neo 18 + Neo XX.1
4.99 Problemz
5.Bali-CM 2.2.2
And currently I'm using EB7-Streamline.

glitch works very well. the problem i had with bali and 99 problems was that no one could hear me when i put them on speaker phone. glitch v13 on medium leakage was great for me on miui and cm7

Glitch v13

Bali is good, but the developer no longer has a vibrant and so it is no longer updated. So I would have to say glitch v13 is the way to go. Super smooth and battery seems better then bali

I guess I'll try out Glitch, but why does it say DEV on the file name for Vibrant? It is a beta release?

Glitch and eb7 are my faves.. i LOVED glitch but my bln wusnt working and i NEEd it to, so i ended up on eb7 which is also BEASt, with working gps, pretty good batt life and performance and plenty of features.
Glitch def wins in performance tho

[Q] Project V users ( what kernel are you running)

I had been running trigger 3.3 for a while now. Decided to try a something else. Flashed V and I really like it. I was wondering what kernels my fellow V brethren are using. Also anybody running ECOTOX's kernel? I lurk thru his thread and the guy seems really nice. Anybody have any experience with his kernel?
I stay pretty basic. Running Bali 1.8.7UV.
I run ECOTOX's DragonMODz ULP kernel for every 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM I use. It's really great. I tend to get around two days on a charge.
Running Bali 1.8.7 un capped

Bali 1.8.7 uncapped. It does what it should do, and does it well.

I'm using Immortality Kernel. It is very smooth and fast with this Kernel.

Looking for a set up suggestion.

Hi I just got a free used vibrant. I'm gonna use it as a back up phone. My primary is a Galaxy S 4G, running ICBINB. It's extremely smooth and stable with great battery life. I'm hoping someone can suggest a ROM for the Galaxy S Vibrant that's considered extremely stable and smooth with great battery life. I'm not really concerned about quadrant scores, just want stability and smoothness with lagfix like my 4G running ICBINB. Thanks.
Try project v with bali kernal

Try ZenDroid. Very fast and stable with excellent battery life.

Lol this is a spamfest but...CM7. End of story.
And the Vibrant is actually a better device (with much more ROM/dev support) than your GalaxyS 4G unless you are concerned about the data network.
Bi-winng V3, zero issues, very fast and stable. Kernel has overclock ability. Dev is super nice guy and it has great support.
Almost all the froyo roms are perfectly stable and fast with great batt life... gingerbread isnt incredibly stable but its FAST and cm7 is great but youll have to deal with lack of gps and batt drain, so i suggesr froyo roms like bionix 1.3.1 or project v5

Anyone suggesting Gingerbread is leading you astray per your criteria.
Honestly, Trigger (2.2.. not the one based on CM7) would be my suggestion, or Project-V.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I will definitely go with one of the froyo roms, Thanks again!
I also used project v with bali kernal and was very happy.
Currently running GingerZen_RC3. I am having some issues with the GPS, but I'm will ing to make that sacrifice. No other issues at all with GingerZen.

Best new rom?

Hey, it's been awhile since i've been on here. Still running nero 5.
What are the best roms out there right now?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
there are a lot of good roms here, as always is just a matter of taste. if you like stock android there are cyanogenmod roms which are all good, and some more are based on cyanogemod. but if you are like me and dont want stock like android, go for MIUI. you can also try a few of them. hope i helped.
I'll look into MIUI.
In your opinion what would be the best as far as upgraded speed and performance?

Bionix is the ROM after Nero V5

Alright, I love team whiskey. I'm leaning towards Bionix 1.3.1. What is a good recommendation for a powerful and fast kernel?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
Give bi winning V3 a try. Comes with bullet kernel that you can over clock if you want. Its the smoothest rom I've ever used. Zero issues.

go through them and see what you think
none of us can say whats best because you might think different
Is bionix 1.3.1 with overstock 1'3 any good?
That's what I'm leading towards, if you use that could you tell me what you think?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
I am using Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution Beta. I like it
CM7 for pure vanilla FTW
I am on bionix 1.3.1 using Super Dragon MoDz right now, I used overstock for it a while back and it ran like butter. That would be a solid upgrade.
Toxic8 with Supercharger v6.
Nothing and i mean absolutely nothing comes even close...
Alright bionix it is.
It's been awhile so bare with me.
Odin back to stock, then flash bionix, then overstock. Right?
Or can I just flash right over the top of nero 5?

Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
I used to have bionix + bali kernel. When I missed a charge for a day it was no problem since i could easily go 2 days without a charge. Now I switched to Simply Honey v5. I have to charge twice a day or it just dies at nite leaving me without an alarm. The battery life is 3-4x less compared to my old setup.
GPS, compass, accel., ambient light sensors dont work properly. I gave up on GPS and turn it off. It doesnt work and if by mistake i tried to use it, it keeps running and sucks the battery in no time. The working GPS claim in OP is untrue.
And Simply Honey (and I think all other GB ROMs) wipe everything in the phone! Backup to your PC!
I wouldnt go with a GB ROM at this time if I knew there were so many issues.
Gingerzen! Only stable gingerbread rom I've ever used and the battery lasts all day for me (I wake up at 5)

Toxic 8 with V6 super scripts and immortality 2.2 kernal is by far the best combo i've had on my vibrant. Speed and batter life are incredible and outperform any other ROM i've tried on here.
I tried GB but couldn't take the issues with GPS, compass, speed, battery.
Running Bionix 1.3.1 with Bali 1.8.8 kernel and loving it! Consistently fast and great battery.
2.3 roms have some minor issues .....so 2.2 is best!
Im on trigger. And liking it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I might try one of those then, I did bionix 1.3 with overstock 1.3.
I like everything about it, except the battery life is definitely worse than my nero 5 was.
And I did the same to my wifes vibrant and she can't seem to get the defalt launcher to stay the same, it's always switching.

[Q] What's the lightest, and most Stable rom for the Vibrant?

I just picked up a Vibrant, coming from a sprint htc hero, and I'm looking for some opinions on what rom would work best for me.
My main concerns are;
-Stability
-Speed
-working GPS
-battery life (doesn't have to be great, but I don't want to charge twice a day either)
I'm willing to go without some customization options if it means a more stable and fast experience. The phone is currently on the stock 2.1 so my guess is anything will be an improvement. What do you guys suggest?
Simply Honey 5.1 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
I'm having the best succuss to date with Simpply honey, 5.1.
Some users find that the GPS may never be stable, others don't have any issues.

Any thoughts on the battery life on simply honey? I seem to remember reading some real gripes on the battery use.
Project V with immortality or dead horse kernel is BEAST. It's been running stable for the past 2 weeks.

I haven't ran across toxic7 yet, I'll have to check it out.
I think many will agree, Bionix 1.3.1 is one of the most stable roms created for the vibrant. Pair that up with an undervolted kernel, such as bali, overstock, or superdragon_modz, and you got yourself stability heaven with decent battery life and GPS. My $.02. I'll include the links if you want to check them out.

My vote goes to Bi-winning V3. Its super smooth and fast with zero issues. Battery life is good, and it comes with the Bullet kernel that is capable of over clocking if your into that.
I started with Axura, went to bionix - both ran fine. GPS got within 60 feet on average. Hey - a garmin it ain't -
Tried a few GB ROMs, but since GB isn't 'out' for t959, I had concerns re: compatibility to the phone itself using a ported rom. Un-bricking is not how I want to spend my time!
Currently using ToXiC 8 with Immortality kernel and Clean and Shiny theme. Fast. Stable. Using it since day 1 and no rom-related fc's. I tried the scripts jcc provided, but couldn't really see a difference. Battery life after calibration is great. I can use it all day without reservations. GPS will lock quickly, however no matter what ROM I've used, GPS always under-reports highway speed by ~2mph. After applying fixes that Jcc suggests, this phone is great.
Hope this helps.

Whats the best/stablest rom for the Vibrant?

I am about to update my sister phone 2.1 to 2.2 but decide to just root it and flash a custom rom. What would be the best stable rom for it? She really just needs GPS working. Thanks
All the 2.2 roms pretty much the same stability-wise. It will just be a matter of personal preference to be honest. I like ZenDroid.
