[Q] Stock Vs Cooked (Reboots) - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With regard to (seemingly) random reboots, do the stock ROMS ever behave this way? Every cooked ROM I've tried likes to fall over fairly frequently, it gets a bit tiring after a while.

I can't comment about the stock roms but I can assure you the Power Rom series (Evergreen) is rock solid. I haven't had a random reboot since....well....ever.

I have installed Longhorn, DSC and Gingerstreak as well as the stock 407 ROM. The 407 ROM gave me the least reliability issues, I can only think of a couple of FC's (probably more to do with the app than the OS) and I have only ever had a few glitches. I used 407 for about a month.
The others I have had FC's and reboots and SOD's at least once in any given 24 hours. Now, I am starting to think that this could be partly to do with the fact I have been using Titanium Backup to 'restore' the apps (and their data) to the phone, rather than going via the market and doing a 'proper' re-install. I am seriously starting to think that may be causing some of the issues.
I have also made sure to wipe the dalvik cache whenever I have a problem, and I now do that after installing a batch of apps.
So, my conclusion is that GB generally is not very reliable - either from the perspective of reboots and crashes in the case of cooked ROM's of from the point of view of WiFi/GPS and other quirks in the stock ROM.
This is why I returned to stock 360 Froyo - which is ABSOLUTELY solid - no FC's reboots or SOD's in sight. I am now back trying to get a GB ROM of any persuasion to work - but so far it has not proved possible.

I would like to try this evergreen ROM and the other power ROM, but I think all the links are down for the 'non-evergreen' version. I also do not understand why there are 2 ROMs in the 'power ROM' series - any pointers would be appreciated.
I have also read that the developer has now suspended support on these ROM's for the next 4 months - which is a bit of a concern if that is true!

I have to agree. I'm on the last available stock ROM from Rogers in Canada (339), and I really don't have any specific complaints about the phone. It's also solid, I get no reboots or FCs.
Only problem ever is with WiFi. Whenever I change networks (such as going to a friend's house), even if it's a known network the WiFi won't ever want to connect to it first try. Sometimes all I can do is disable then re-enable WiFi and it'll finally connect. No reboot needed, but it's still an annoyance.
I've been thinking about moving up to the 407 stock ROM just to try it, but if there are occasional issues with it maybe I should just leave well enough alone and stick with my stable Froyo.

I would go back to Stock 360 (Froyo Retail) in a heartbeat. It is way more stable and reliable than any GB ROM I have used - even 407. The WiFi issues are much worse in 407 and I see a lot of comments indicating the other GB ROMs do not generally fare much better. The ONLY reason I use GB is because of Sygic SatNAV which does not perform well under Froyo but is fine with GB - that's it.
I guess Dell are all done now, so we just have to choose which ROM we can live with. At the moment, by carefully installing 407, then rooting it and removing the excess baggage etc I seem to have a GB ROM that's about as good as GB gets. Generally stable, quick and responsive and the little cursor widget which I love. Still not as stable as the latest Froyo but for now it seems good enough.
If you do not have a reason to upgrade beyond wanting to try out the GB experience, then I'd suggest you don't bother as it's hardly worth it. If you have a need (FF camera support etc), then 407 Stock is the best I have used.

[Q] Stock vs Custom ROMs

I've had the Fascinate for about 8 months now, and originally applied a custom ROM in order to get the benefits of 2.2 (flash, etc). At the moment, I'm running CommRom 2.0, Sense themed, with a PBJ kernel. And while I'm able to access an abundance of themes and modifications with custom ROMs, I can't help but notice how buggy they can be. My phone randomly shuts off/becomes unresponsive at least once a day (requiring a hard reboot). Programs will often randomly force close in the background.
I also fail to notice any sort of performance improvement with the phone. Programs open and objects render just as fast, if not faster on my mother's Fascinate (which is completely stock). Also, battery drain has been a roller coaster... from what I've seen it's pretty crappy on stock ROMs, as well as my themed CommRom 2.0 ROM. The best battery life I've seen is on unthemed CommRom 2.0.. does that make any sense?
So, I was thinking about just reverting back to stock ED01, ED03, or whatever is out now, rooting it, and leaving it as is. I'll probably give CM7 or MIUI a try when they get out of the beta/alpha stages for our phone. What do you guys think?
Sounds like you have "sleep of death" issues. They can be hard to track down, but there are some steps to take to eliminate known problems.
Some people prefer custom ROMs some prefer stock, it's up to each user. I'm on CommRom myself, but since I use ADW launcher, I don't get the full experience. Mainly I like the tweaking I get to do on custom ROMs. Some people get better performance on them, but others get better performance on stock. I haven't personally noticed a huge difference.
My gf has a stock fascinate and it has problems too. I am running comrom 2.0 with pbj and have no issues. Each phone is different and even running a stock rom will have issues.
I think we forget how our stock phones ran beacuase most of us have been rooted for such a long time.
I think if your phone runs fine on a rom, just leave it. I know most of us are flash happy, but if you're having troubles run the sc roms. Those were always super solid.

ROM Suggestions Needed

My wife uses a Samsung Vibrant and there are just so many issues with it. Currently, it's on the latest stock Froyo release. It keeps losing all of her home screen icons (using stock TWLaucher) and we have to kill TWLauncher or reboot to get them back. Seems to have lag all over the place. Also, wifi signal strength is poor. The wifi calling app constantly turns off saying the wifi signal isn't good enough.
I'd like be interested in trying out a custom ROM. I've tinkered with some of the leaked ROMs, so I'm familiar with ODIN. I've used CWM on my Droid X before, so I should be ok with that as well.
She's not interested in 100 different themes and fancy icons and fancy features, etc. We are just going to want something that's close to stock with some tweaks that might fix some of the issues we are having. Not interested in partially working ROMs where the GPS doesn't work or issues with the camera, etc. Would like wifi calling to work as well. Need something totally stable. I'm not going to want something that's going to need updating weekly either.
Anything out there that meets what I'm looking for?
Please make suggestions.
Hi, same situation here, my gf has stock vibrant with froyo and many issues...
I've cm7 on my N1 so I considered it for the vibrant but at the moment it have troubles with gps and wifi SO I've searched a lot and the much more stable rom (for me of course) is the projectV, it's based on the official froyo with some tweaks and fixes, seems pretty stable until now
here the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105037
hope u enjoy it
Agreed with nekobus
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I actually had my eye on that one.
It'll improve the lag and losing icons and things like that? I don't need a lagfix on top of that as well?
I'm not doing this for the eye candy (extra lock screens, etc.), I just want things to run more smoothly.
This probably won't help the low wifi signal though, since it's using the same modem as stock froyo, right?
Anyone else want to chime in?
It'll definently improve Lag and that icon problem that you have will not happen. And almost every ROM in here has a Lagfix, so Project-V does have one and will come on when you flash it. (A voice of a robotic women after flashing means that Voodoo is flashing) Voodoo is the name of the Lagfix, which makes our systems run on ext4 instead of the slow RFS system stock that your wife had.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The best thing about Project-V ROM is that its made to be fast and for tweaking, that's why they say they're not competing with Cyanogenmod because it also has both speed and tweaking abilities. So don't worry if you think Project-V is all eye candy, because its both Speed, Stability, and Tweaks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If anything, I'll probably give this Project V a shot then. My wife will kill me if I F up her phone or cause her to lose stuff.
I flash this with CWM? I don't exactly recall where to get CWM or how to use it, but I'm sure I'll figure that out.
Installing this over stock will be a total data wipe, right? I should back up programs and program data with Titanium first and then restore after?
This does include the lagfix/file conversion? That just happens automatically when I flash this?
Everything works? No serious bugs? I can also flash that wifi calling file in the first post using cwm and then I'll have wifi calling too?
Let's say Samsung releases a 2.3 that's a solid ROM and I want to go back to stock. With this applied and whatever lagfix, file conversion that's been done, how hard would it be to get back to stock?
Anything else I should know?
I've rooted the stock froyo, backupped ALL with titanium and then wiped all from cwm and installed projectV, no problem at all but titanium is required
About gingerbread.... do you remeber the "froyo story" right? I think I seat and wait for the gingerbread version of projectV (or other roms based on official release)! No more stock images in my home please

Yes, wouldn't be surprised at all if there's never an official 2.3 for this. Their 2.2 release was many months behind competing phones originally released around the same time. Still, just want to make sure I understand what I'm getting into here and how hard it would be to get back out. Could I easily get back to the stock froyo that it's on now, if I need to?
I've never did it , but I think u have to odin back to 2.1 stock and then ota (or keys) to 2.2 or whatever

Does the new market that came out this week work fine on this phone?
Before this market, I also had terrible problems updating apps. It was brutally slow and update all usually failed on most apps. I was very surprised that after installing the new market, I was able to do an update all on 20 apps with no problems at all.
My wife had pretty much given up on updating apps on the stock rom.
not yet tried ! But my gf had no problem at all with old and oldest market under tmob, now she's back in Italy, so I've unlocked the sim and still have no issues!
try a few different 1's and see which you like best
I like the bionix 1.3.1 with bali 1.8.7 uv kernel.
i'm not sure about the wifi calling as I dont use that feature.
Tried the new market right now, no proplems as always!

ROMS
As far as which rom you choose is your choice, I am running Toxic Smoke and a lot of people will agree its super quick and responsive but I support almost all roms, Devs here do great work on the vibrant and all should be recognized for it. I may have a solve for your low WiFi signal though..... Have you looked in to the Hardware GPS fix? It involves you opening up your phone and bending a small piece of copper, I did so and put a tiny sliver of credit card plastic under it to keep it from bending back down and now my GPS signal is ridiculous as compared to before. But as I read more there is another copper pin on the opposite side of the phone, that is your WIFI antenna. I then took my phone apart again and did the same thing to that pin and now My WIfI gets great signal. I guess it all depends on how tech savoy you are and how much you want to get into your phone. I know for how much it cost and how much I use my phone I wanted it working 100% so I took the extra time to do all of this and Im quite happy with my Vibrant now. But anyway my specs on my phone are,
ROM: ToxicMusixSmoke
Launcher: Golauncher Pro EX (Which is freaking awesome and free)
Kernal: Bali X (Will increase the responsiveness of your phone ff Overclocked to 1.2 using setCPU, you can download for free on XDA, cost 2.99 or something on the market, the dev offers it for free on here)
+ Hardware GPS Fix and S.gps.zip file for the drivers (You can also find this fine on the Hardware GPS fix post)
I hope this helps as my phone is very stable and I am totally satisfied with my phone as I was not so much at first. I also think with Golauncher you can get stock themes so your phone will look and act just like stock, but run 10000000000000 times better!
I am new to the samsung t959
Any recommendation for ROM? I would like to be as fast as possible, and with a working GPS
I don't mind CM7 as long as it is fastest.
Thanks a million!
]I wasn't looking for fastest.
Just need something to eliminate done of this issues we've had with stock and to be stable with everything functioning correctly.
Project V seems to have done that.
Only issue, so far, is that bloater isn't working and I can't figure a way to get the samsung stock keyboard back. Can anyone help with that?
I like that this rom is so close to stock. If I didn't tell my wife, she wouldn't have even known I changed anything.
While I no longer use it myself, I found Zendroid 2.0.1 with Bali Kernel to be the simplest and easiest to use for a layman, like the average wife or girlfriend
It's extremely lightweight with no bloat to speak of, and battery life is phenomenal (no bloat, no 2g/3g bleeding).
@lexluthor you can use root explorer our similar app to copy the apk to the system/app folder.

Best [1.2] Froyo Rom?

I think Im ready to move back to a Froyo Rom from the Flashback Rom. I cant wait any longer for the kernel update. What is the fastest and most stable 1.2 bootloader Froyo Rom? What is the closest thing to the old VeganTab 5.1.1? That was my favortie Rom from bootloader 1.1. If I had the time I would try them all but I got a newborn at home so no time. thanks

I hear you, I like the eye-candy of the Honeycomb roms but I've always been a performance over eye-candy kinda guy.
That being said, I've tried all forms of roms on this tablet but the one I kept going back to (and currently using) is the Beasty/Clemsyn rom which ironically also uses VTL (Vegan Tab Launcher) as its default launcher.
Using SetCPU will allow you to OC to 1.6 as well as undervolt it. (gets kinda hot at 1.6 without undervolting)
Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573
There is actually an easy way to get the 5.1.1 ROM on BL 2.0. Just install the 1.1 ROM and flash a 1.2 Kernel over it before rebooting. I used Clems newest Froyo kernel.
The fastest I've come across the the C&C ROM. Fast, and stable, with almost everything working. I say "almost" because myself and a few others have problems with gifs on web pages from some unknown reason. My second choice, and the one I use, is Brilliant Corners.
Btw Clemesyn has released the Ultimate froyo ROM. A port from notion ink. I think you should try it. The rom is in development thread
Which one is better, the Clemsyn+Caulkin or Clemsyn+Beastly rom? Or are they the same just visually different?

On my Gtab, Clemsyn+Beasty is way faster. Stable as a heavy rock. I've run a lot of different roms, but have found none that can match C+B for my usage.
BTW, if you do decide to go with Beasty, make sure that you get his latest update. I believe it was released 10-14-2011. I had an earlier version, and had some Skype issues with it. The new version has corrected those.
I should mention that I have also run the C+C rom (yesterday in fact) just to compare. Nope, doesn't come close to the speed of C+B.
Good luck.
Just flashed C+B from recommendations on this thread. Loving it so far.

Main thing is C+C has the Tap-n-Tap elements and C+B is a NI/Adam port which is more Android like.
I cannot stand the Tnt menus, so my daily is C+B. And its FAST, stable, and everything works.
Thank you everyone for posting. I will try out the Clemsyn+Beastly rom. It sounds like a true beast. Ill post back with my experience on it.
Personally i would try the rom Brilliant Corners. It is hands down my favorite Froyo rom.
Why don't you give VEGanTab 7.1 a try, it is Gingerbread 2.3. Everything works on that ROM, camera, BT, h.264 video etc. OC to 1.6 using Clemsyn's Gingerbread kernel.

Looks like an interesting rom, and I'd try it IF they could get the video camera working. I use Skype for video chats, and since the camera in VT 7.1 only works in still mode, not video, that is a deal killer for me.
Nice eye candy though.
I am having problems with this rom. I am posting here because I didn't have sufficient credit to post in the actual thread. I flashed and it works great, but now whenever I try to install an apk, it reboots every single time and never installs. Any ideas on how to fix this? I went back to factory firmware and wiped everything completely clean before flashing to this rom.

After flashing I always boot back into recovery and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvic as well. Wives your issues I would also suggest fixing permissions.
Try this and see if it helps.
Thanks Joeb. Everytime I went back to recovery it was the built in recovery from the rom and not the cwm one. I just chose wipe factory/user data and all works now. One thing I noticed coming from gtacomb was the gtacomb browser had more features and was 10x faster than the one that comes with this rom. Anyway to get the honeycomb version of browser on this tab?
On my gtablet C+C is faster than C+B.... As everyone was saying that C+B was the faster froyo rom I gave it another try on past weekend but I still feel that C+C is faster and more stable...
Maybe it's because I'm not using any app to manage the overclock features?
Does VeganTab 7.1 have hardware acceleration? We might be able to have skype videochats working if we flash Clemsyn fix for that...
I have tryed many of Roms and Flashed my Gtab more then I can think of and always end up reloading Beast. To me its seems to be the most stable and reliable Rom for Froyo. I like that I can customize it with different boot Images and wallpaper to make it almost portray Vegan 7.0. If one was to choose a everyday user I would believe that Beast would be hands down the one to choose. As far as the browser issue I don't use the one it came with and use Dolphin HD. Way better and a perfect match for this Rom.

I havnt flashed in a year

Hi, I haven't been an xda user in a while , I used to love tinkering around with my phones all day long.
now, I life has been taking over and I don't have the time to try out new stuff all day long.
that being said, the last rom I tried was a team whiskey bionix v1.3.1 sometime in early 2011 . I don't even think I wiped anything since.
I want a new rom, I feel like my phone is getting sluggish. I don't want to try roms that is going to make the phone slower, or is made for a faster phone (assuming ICS would be out of the question for me)
should I just stick with my current rom and wipe everything? I didn't have any complaints with it.
or are there better ones out now that wont compromise performance.
also another important thing for me is audio quality and saw many recommendations for voodoo sound. I don't have a kernal that supports it. I am running 2.6.32.9 jaeyoon.yoon
so pretty much what is the best rom and kernal combination for me that has no bugs, everything will run nice and snappy on. I don't want to experiment around anymore. I will straight up run the most recommended one.
many thanks in advance
I was in the same boat as you. I loaded Bionix back in February of last year and hadn't touched my phone's ROM since. For some reason I decided to see if there was anything new and sure enough ICS ROMs were available.
I love being on the cutting edge but my phone has to work too. I travel a lot and when I'm on the road I need to be able to depend on the phone working reliably. Looking at the ROMs available I went with the one with the most forum activity - that was ICS Passion. I flashed it first and was immediately impressed. Most everything works with the exception of the speakerphone which, while it does work, it seems like it picks up a lot of background noise.
Since then I've tried a few others but based on reliability and some UI preferences I went back to Passion. There are several battery mods which is nice, I like the Newborn3 battery style myself.
The other thing I've experimented with is the Kernel. I settled on the Glitch kernel because it seems the fastest to me and has no problem with the lock screen. It has Voodoo stuff which I honestly don't use much. The kernel does have issues creating a Nandoid backup but I never use those either ;-)
After using ICS I will not go back. In fact even the newer phones such as the SGS2 hold no attraction for me until there is a good ICS ROM available.
Hope that helps.
First off thank you bigjoe87865 for posting your question as I was in a similar situation. I previously had Axura and it was way too buggy and slugish. I finally had it the other night and started researching posts on the best rom and saw your question.
Second, atatistcheff, you installed ICS Passion and eventually you put the Glitch kernel. What was the reasoning in going about in installing this kernel and not using what was supplied with ICS passion? Would I enjoy my phone with just using ICS?
Was in the same boat as you until this week - long time Froyo user (Trigger and Bi-winning) for the past year. The GB roms always seemed to be too much trouble and not very practical.
After seeing all the positive feedback on the ICS ROMs, I figured I'd give it a shot and installed ICS Passion this week. Was immediately impressed with the speed, stability and functionality. Only problem I has was the battery life - it was simply awful. Saw posts regarding the battery life of SlimICS and flashed it on Friday. Works just as well as Passion, with the battery life I'm used from my Froyo ROMs. My single complaint is that the stock kernel doesn't support Voodoo sound, but I can do without that for the time being.
Long answer short: there's pretty much no reason to avoid ICS at this point - I'm a very light GPS user, so this is not a priority for me.

Passion always had a nagging issue with the lock screen for me. That is every few times when I pressed the power button to wake the phone up it would not respond. I'd have to press several times to get it to wake up. I've seen this issue posted about several times. It's really not serious and as with most issues YMMV. I think you'd be fine with Passion and the stock kernel. I like Glitch because the lock screen issue is non-existant and it seems to work fine with Passion.

[Q] on Bionix-V fishmans, would like to go back to GB

I meant to post this to the Q&A's section, I mistakenly posted to general. My apologies. Can this be moved to Q&A's?
So currently I'm running Bionix-V Fishmans froyo for the Vibrant, and I like it pretty well. Battery life seems to be alright.
Before that I was running Asgard 3.2, and it was pretty good except the battery would drain pretty quick, and the Phone would FC constantly.. forum is dead though and no support.
Was reading up on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021383
((Rom)Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4) JW1 HoneyCream in 3rd post. 12/30) and that sounds like it would be a pretty nice rom to try out, but all the links are dead. Does anyone have a current link or be willing to upload the latest version of that rom and the addons?
Or could someone possibly point me to a good Gingerbread rom for vibrant that is stable, I've been looking around for a couple of days and it seems maybe there is no more interest in Gingerbread for Vibrant.. maybe it's dead.
I've contemplated trying out some ICS builds, but it seems like there could be a lot of headaches, and the encryption unsuccessful bug, and other bugs that could make it more of a bad idea to try.
So, if anyone wants to help me, that would be fantastic!
I skipped over Gingerbread and went straight to ICS (before falling back to Froyo), so I can't really attest to any of these personally but people rave about MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123922
You could also try Phiremod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592509
or maybe Malice, but it's wasn't updated to 2.3.7: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21759-rommalice-5gb-234deficient-development/
I think with ICS out and getting more and more stable you might have some trouble finding people keeping GB ROMs going. ICS builds are really is close to a point of being a daily driver (I'm a big fan of Slim and ICZen) if you're ok with the GPS being flakey. I wasn't so I'm back on Froyo for a little while, but those GB ROMs I listed claim to have a functioning GPS so give them a whirl.
I still hear horror stories about the "Encryption Unsuccessful " super hard bricking. When a JTAG cant bring it back to life you know its as bad as it could get.
ICS is smooth but until that issue is resolved completely I'm staying on Froyo or GB.

Interesting. I kinda missed a lot of the quirks in getting Gingerbread just right, so that's a good tidbit about the Bullet kernel. Thanks for the heads up.
GPS working isn't really a big issue for me, but finding fairly stable roms (GB) with working links is a chore. I could have lived with Asgard, but the FC issues were a big negative. Also, when I would go to an area of poor-to-no coverage, I would have to restart the phone a couple of times because I would get a please insert SIM message.
