Looking for a good stable froyo rom that flys. I am currently using Fisherman's Moded version of Bionix 1.3 melted butter. I used to use trigger v3.2 and I really liked how everything was simple but didn't like how slow it was. Any suggestions?
Bionix was always my favorite, but to each their own. There are many 2.2 roms here. Only way to find out which works best for you is to, unfortunately, try them.

Use the bullet kernel that's 1.48 Ghz

Use an OC kernel like Bullet or BaliX. The ROM is only part of the equation.
@Dougfresh Dan_Brutal is part of the Transformer threads, here and there. Not the Prime though, the OG TF101 Might want to shoot him a PM to see if he can re-animate the site.
Btw did you get yours all straightened out?

Yeah I took that piece of Sh*t back to bestbuy and got a new one. Prime out of the box DL's the ICS update automatically and if you choose it install, that's where the problem starts.
I told myself that I wasn't going to do the update but I accidentally pressed the update button lol! It's running good now I guess I just had a bad one thanks
I'm also using Bionix-V 1.3.1 Fishman mod (FINAL). I have yet to apply the FINAL 2 update, but everything seems to work great and the speed is awesome. I like the smoothness of the TW4 launcher that was included in the ROM, but it lacks some abilities that other launchers provide. Just wish the pesky wifi calling echo issue would be resolved without having to lower the in-call volume.

Hmm. Perhaps it's the version of the .apk that I am using (had to download/install it separately since it wasn't originally included w/ the rom)? I've had the echo for a while (although I can't remember now if I had it on the original bionix 1.3.1). I know it's been an issue for other people on other roms as well.
Anyway, don't mean to digress or to move this topic in a different direction than the OP.
EDIT: Just for clarification, the echo doesn't happen on my end, only the other person's side... no matter if I made the call or they did. But again... I digress.

Try both and see which one you prefer.
I like Fusion since it has almost gotten rid off the touchwiz crap.
right now i am running this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773018
it is a great ROM, and it flies. i do not have any lag fix installed and i have absolutely no lag at all. and touchwiz is completely removed
I was loving Bionix 1.9 but I Odin-ed back to Stock JI6 because I think Froyo is coming out soon. It was released internationally last week and the Captivate already has it.
I am sure Fusion is very nice but I got sick of flashing new ROMS every other day. Just my 2 cents.

this is my first ROM and i am running Bionix 1.9.1 for a few days now. stable so far, works as advertised. i am running bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO and i have also installed SetCPU. if you decide to go with it please make sure you take a look at this before you do anything: https://sites.google.com/site/projec...allation-guide. if you follow the guide you should have no probs.
i have noticed battery life improvement after installing 1.9.1 and reconditioning battery, it has been unplugged since about 7:30am and after 3 calls one lasting 40mins while on blue tooth and constant work e-mails i am sitting at 63% at the time of writing this. so in 8 hours i have dropped 37% its a big improvement from before.
just my experience

It really comes down to preference. Is there a speed difference from 1.9.1 to Fusion 1.0? Most users think that Fusion is faster, but I came from 1.8 so I can't comment on it. Fusion is awesome. If you don't mind TWiz than go with 1.9.1, however, if you're like me and can't stand TWiz, go with Fusion 1.0. It is amazing.

You will likely be waiting for awhile. Froyo hasn't even been mentioned for the Vibrant yet. The Source code was released for 2.2 but that is a far cry from a working fully functional ROM. You do realize you don't have to keep flashing the most current ROM they release right?

Yeah I was going Flash crazy and I must admit it is addictive LOL. Anyway, every Bionic ROM was slightly different, for example one had JI2 modem for better battery and the next one had JI6 for better data. I had to see for myself which one was best for me. Eventually I decided to go back to stock with the latest official JI6 OTA update to receive the Froyo OTA .

Hey there, don't get your panties in a bunch.. That ROM actually didn't fully remove touchwiz like you claim. There are some things that are still touchwiz there like twframework-res
But if your choice is Fusion or Bionix.. go with fusion
I've tried both... Go with Fusion if you don't use the TW launcher. If you are unsure about LP, its very cool.
I am running 1. 9 and I love it so far but I do miss cm5 on my mytouch slide :-( I hope it does work out for cm6 on the vibrant.

^ Eugene makes a very solid ROM and is usually slightly ahead of the other DEV's here. (I.E.- He has released (I believe) 3 builds of Froyo so far) where most other DEV's are just getting started on Froyo. Most DEV's use Eugene's work as a base for their own ROM's. I started with Eugene's ROM and have since moved to Bionix out of sheer personal preference. I like the look and feel of the Bionix ROM's more than I like Eugene's.
That being said, when he gets the GPS fixed on his most recent Froyo ROM, I may just have to flash it up to see how I like it
I think he got gps working on his newest 2.2 rom. I could be wrong though. I'm going to give that a run tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I haven't tried either yet - still in OCD research phase before trying anything new and scary like a custom ROM ...
That said, I'm leaning toward Bionix. I understand the difference between the two is effectively whether you prefer Touchwiz and LauncherPro. They're both otherwise on relatively equal footing.
I've tried LP with homeswitcher and honestly it's nifty but it's niftiness couldn't outweight my familiarity with Touchwiz. This vibrant is my first android phone so that probably speaks volumes as to why I had no previous conceptions of what the UI ought to behave like...
I'd suggest to the OP to also just try out LP with homeswitcher prior to flashing a ROM and you can easily see for yourself which format tickles your pickle more.

I absolutely agree with you, the M10 ROM runs super nice, for the moment you just have to use a different launcher but other than that it's a great ROM also.

When comparing Axura and Nero:
Axura is more "themed", and Nero is more "GB-ish"?
Otherwise, both have great performance/battery life etc etc.

my vote is for the Axura rom... it is the only one I have found to be bug free and functions extremely fast and smooth...
well my friend likes the look of froyo 2.3 b8, he is stock he hasnt even rooted it yet so i guess a rom thats most like that one that installs voodoo and the lagfix as part of the rom dont have to add em in, thanks

Nero V4.1 was the first ROM I ever flashed on any phone (did so yesterday on my vibrant without any problems). Although I can't say much about any other customs ROMs since this is the first time I've done this. I have to say that going from stock 2.1 to Nero with voodoo, the improvement is... Hold on let me- HUGE.
So far I've re-installed all my apps along with market links, tried new ones, tested the mobile WiFi AP, installed flash, played some videos, and it has never frozen up or even lag. Also, I think it started speaking or something on the first boot.

Is WiFi calling working on any 2.2.1? I think i read here somewhere its not, so its not just a SweetHoney thing.
I did like the snappyness of SweetHoney, didn't really test it to long. I plan to run it maybe over the next week after I check out some more Radios for it.
Ive testes the Sweet Honey and have had no data issues as of yet. The only problem I am seeing is with the "black market app" Applanet, for some reason it has trouble connecting with the network at times. Minus that works fantastic so far...
only issue i have is the GPS not working - but its been raining and i have had the opportunity to get outside to test it.
Hopefully its not a big deal.
Love this ROM. Best so far for me.

At the moment all gingerbread roms have a buggy gps.
Saying that, my favorite is CM7 as it completely leaves samsung based TouchWiz instead opting for the much quicker AOSP base.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 is killer man. Its Gingerbread 2.3.4 and you can overclock it to 1.2ghz. The GPS works pretty damn good too. To me there is no better Rom out there.

Malice 4. Works very nicely for me. CM7 had a tendency to trash my external SD card. Maybe it was me, though...
Take a look at the one in my signature. The Toxic Muzic one. Stable, with tons of theming support. Great battery life too with Bali-X.

This was my experience with it as well, which is why I'm always surprised that it's so highly regarded. I even flashed it a second time after trying other roms just to see if I was mistaken but yeah, a laggly, clucky rom for me. CM7, MIUI, Asgard, etc, were all much more responsive in my experience.
Well i just owned my phone . The phone will not boot into anything.
I installed the simply honey 4.0 and when it boots the screen turns all different colors and it android voice says something about not enough space in partition. Now my screen is completely black and wont go anywhere else.
I think i somewhere i seen some say that is cause voodoo is on if you can power your phone up deactivate vodoo sorry for the caps

You know I hate it when people flash something as important as bootloaders and don't read the whole OP, if you read the whole OP, you would know that there is different button mapping.
Hello,
I have got the itch to try a GB ROM again. I'm currently running Project V and it's great, but i want some change. I tried CM7 RC1 when it first came out and couldn't deal with the horrible battery life. But I figure it's been quite a while so things may have improved since then. What would be everyone's suggestion on the best one? I don't like crazy themes or anything. I'm just looking for a stock GB look with decent battery life and stability. Thanks in advance!
I want to know this too!

Calm down now, it's nothing personal. I'm sure it runs just fine. I just like the stock GB look.
The cm7 have drastically improved battery is on part with most other GB roms. I personally love Miui revamped LE it is incredibly fast and the developers are extremely active in the forum. Along with that they update the ROM every Friday and you always think there is no way it can get better but somehow they always seem to exceed expectations

Biffmod
I personally find Simply Honey to be a bit much as well (no offense explodingboy, just not to my taste). So, leaning toward a stock-ish ROM, I recommend Biffmod Vibrant. It's basically CM7, but with a bunch of tweaks to fix the common complaints and a stock look. Here are the changes:
Features:
*Mix of AOSP/cm7 - 2.3.5
*black launcher2
*black camera
*notification widgets
*overclock capable kernel (1.7ghz)
*voodoo color and sound
*BLN/LED Notifications (on by default, the BLN app is not compatible)
*Ricktips
*glitch kernel HL thanks TK-Glitch

I've been using it ever since I switched from my HD2 to the Vibrant, and it's a dream. The only issue I've encountered is a "problem" with the overclocking: the kernel says it can go up to 1.7Ghz, but in my experience it tops out at about 1.4Ghz before the phone starts to freeze up. Other than that, like I said, it's great—I fully recommend it.

I personally find Simply Honey to be a bit much as well (no offense explodingboy, just not to my taste). So, leaning toward a stock-ish ROM, I recommend Biffmod Vibrant. It's basically CM7, but with a bunch of tweaks to fix the common complaints and a stock look. Here are the changes:
I've been using it ever since I switched from my HD2 to the Vibrant, and it's a dream. The only issue I've encountered is a "problem" with the overclocking: the kernel says it can go up to 1.7Ghz, but in my experience it tops out at about 1.4Ghz before the phone starts to freeze up.

How do you fare on battery life?

If over themed you mean completely then yes it probably is. Sorry didn't mean to make the UI uniform.

I just wanted to chime in, I've tried your rom before and it was fantastic (in fact, i think it was the first one to have bln fixed when all the other roms had broken bln). However, I was past my honeycomb theme phase and is looking for a more stock gb (or close to it) look now. I constantly search for themes for your rom that can make it look like stock but to no avail I think if you added a stock theme zip, you will be able to increase your user base by quite a significant amount of people.
It's great--I easily go a whole day with moderate to heavy Wifi usage (I don't have data) without having to plugin.

I ended up flashing Biffmod last night. It is amazing so far. So smooth and I haven't had a single issue yet. I also ended up flashing the newest Bali Kernel and have it UV'ed quite substantially. We'll see how it does on battery.
Thanks for the advice.
I personally prefer CM7 or Bionix 1.3.1
Every GB rom I've tried has not had a working GPS. I travel for a living so I need this to work. I have since gone back to 2.2 so my GPS works but out of curiosity, is there a GB rom/kernel that supports reliable GPS functionality?
I could be wrong but I think some of the gps work. GPS worked fine for me on Simply Honey 5.0, which I loved. I liked the themeing, especially the pink theme made to go with it!! I just decided to give Trigger (GB not Froyo) a try and I am equally happy with it. GPS isn't a huge issue for me, but I noticed on Trigger I get locks but they are not accurate, usually within 100ft. I also haven't tweaked any of the settings or tried any of the fixes. There are lots of great GB roms out there...just play around and see what suits you best. My Vibrant has always had great gps I've read that some GPS just don't work well on Vibrants.
I personally really like the AOSP GB Roms, Trigger, CM7 and MIUI are all great... have not tried Biffmod yet, but I intend to sometime.
Kernel-wise, I really like Glitch V11 HL
No problem!

I'm back on project v. The battery life was pretty bad for me on biffmod (yes I calibrated the battery). I was only getting about 7-8 hours. Really wish it had been better cause it ran awesome.

It's not a kernel issue. It's just that your vibrant cant handle the overclock as all devices overclock and undervolt differently
