[Q] Which ROM is your daily driver? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need a daily driver. Just wanted to get everyone's opinions. Currently using
MIUI-NB. It is pretty awesome, but has a few annoying bugs that i can't live with ( e.g. call volume). Before that I was using Project V and Bionix 1.3. Both are top notch ROMs that are very stable and have great battery life. They just seem a bit dated. There has to be something better by now. Would appreciate your thought.
A BIG THANKS TO ALL DEVS! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

ICS Passion v10 is pretty sweet. And pretty stable. 10.6 has some bugs. Make sure you flash GB boot loaders!
Also can't go wrong with a 360 productions rom like miui lithium or miui prime.
Nick knows his Miui.

If you're ok with 2.2 try toxic 8 (9 I'd out now but 8 works better for me). I'm using that with the gb theme (it comes with a black and white theme, which I normally like but this one was a little off). Toxic has amazing battery life too, along with Bali 1.8.8uv and juice defender it lasts forever and is very smooth. I just swapped out the theme market and Swype and all is good.

I've been using jet pack for a few days so far and am loving it

I sort of have 2. ICS Passion v10.6 (using) and D9 (in case....)
For me Deranged 9 is the best froyo ROM for vibrant, and Passion is best ICS.

What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.
CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.
With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.
You could also try Asgard

I like Axura, looks good runs great and the battery life is excellent. Also its the only ROM I can get gps to work.
Hey guys thanks I think ill just wait till the bionix gb rom comes out

Im using M.I.U.I, and i think that its pretty good. My battery life its waay better than with CM7. Its a little (barely noticeable) laggy. I love the themes and apps. I do miss the drawer sometimes, but meh, its just about getting used to not having drawer.
Thanks cm7rocks
Vibrant owns cm7
try Revolution 1.5 rom by ali.
I am using it right now and it is very fast and quite stable too.
I also like Axura a lot, decent battery life and HUGE customization options.

Did someone say MIUI lags? You must be "doing it wrong" because it's a far cry from Froyo when it comes to lag. MIUI is by far the smoothest ROM I've used, and the few issues that exist are pretty minor, at least with build 1.9.23. GPS works great too, if not better than Froyo.

Best rom?

Im looking for either a 2.2.1 rom or a 2.2 with ffc. I spend most my time playing ball and the only way I get to see my girl is on the weekends, I wanted a got rom that supports ffc (very well) so I can see my girl more. So what is the best rom that offers FFC, good battery, and data.. everything really doesn't matter to me except those three thing.. in suggestions?

Trigger 3.2 that's what im running. Best rom you'll have to flash different ones to see witch ones you like better. I would start with trigger you will really enjoy it.

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.

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
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
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.

[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?

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.

Bionix V with TigersBlood Kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
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.

In search of stable froyo rom

hey as the title says searching for a stable froyo rom for a friend he doesnt like cm7 or anything gingerbread and theres so many to choose from i dont know where to start please and thank you
There really is no Froyo rom here that isn't stable. It will all come down to personal preference. I like ZenDroid. It's smooth and has all of the non essental bloat removed. Bi-Winning v3 is also good. I tend to go between those two. Pair either of those with the Bali 1.8.8UV kernel or DragonMODz kernel, and you've got yourself a slick rom with very good battery. But there are lots of choices so it's really up to you.
Hope this helps
I have flashed every single flashable froyo and cm7/cm7 based roms that I could find on xda and I must say while I liked zendroid and have alot of repect for the developer but overall my favorite recent froyo rom is toxic crazy 8. I used the theme clean and shiny for music and toxic 8 and it is visually beatiful with themed in call screens and everything all included. Its also a super fast rom. I never disable voodoo (some will disagree with me on that) and its super quick to flas any rom within cwm so id try both and decide but make sure to get clean and shiny if you do toxic 8 its great. Ill also throw in that this is yhe first tozic I have used as a daily and even having a daily is rare for me but the dev is always helping people and he is very helpful and never rude, its really cool.

I like Project-V. I don't think I'll switch for a while. Bionix 1.3.1 is good, but the add widgets menu is too cluttered for me. With ZenDroid, I get a bunch of annoying bugs and force closes even after a fresh install from JFD. Bi-Winning wasn't my thing, only tried for a few hours. Same with Bionix NextGen.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the epitome of stable Roms. Your friend should have no problems from it.

Chalk another one up for Bionix! Used to run it and I don't think I had a single problem with it.
I have to agree with Toxic8. Been using it for a few days now after moving from Toxic7. Fantastic battery life, smooth as silk, and rock solid stable.
Whichever was explodingboy70's last updated Froyo rom. Everything worked flawlessly and it looked awesome, not to mention I was getting absurdly long battery life.
Just went back to Bionix 1.3.1 after trying many other roms, its a masterpiece
