I use ICS Passion v13. So far so good.
Euphoria is super smooth. I would go with that rom, or the Ecstasy
I had change to Slim ICS with google apps, fix font, change DPI and it work amazing. Unless picasa sync doesn't work, but everything else enought for me
I second Euphoria. Using that now. Everything works so far ... very smooth.
Well one exeption is the GPS, initially had to reboot to get GPS to lock but now it locks in after a few seconds.
I second ics passion 13.1 it is fast and really smooth, have had no problems with it.
iczen without a doubt!!!!!
ICS Passion worked great but I'm on Slim ICS now. Passion baa great features but Slim is really minimalist which gives you the option to customize it however you want. Skin also boasts some awesome battery life. Passion (and my inability to put my phone down) crushed my battery.

I am currently running CM7 nightlies on my Incredible and it is running flawlessly. With that said, my brothers wife has had a terrible time with her stock Facinate on Verizon. I would like to install CM7 on her phone since I have had such a good experience with it on my Incredible.
How is CM7 on the Facinate? Any issues/limitations? Any certain build or kernel suggestions?
Thanks!
I ran CM7 for about 2 weeks. It's stable, which is a good thing. I like the themes option.. but for me.. it just wasn't fast enough.. don't get me wrong, it's quick and responsive, and it does not lag... my speed concerns is after bootup or reboot... it seems to take forever for everything to load and run right. Also, I found the Market (which is only available via seperate flash) lost it's connection more than once, and I had to reboot several times to get it to work.
This is the main reason I dumped CM7 for the Fascinate. I need my stuff to work.. plain and simple.
I went back to stock froyo ED05 2.2.2, then updated through VZN update to Gingerbread 2.3.5. Then Rooted the phone using superuser.zip below. I ODIN'd CWM Recovery, and flashed SU to root (see attachments) and then flashed the KGB Kernel located here. (The lastest is 12.12, but I don't like it as much as the 11.27 version.. maybe it's the smiley face boot screen that got me)
I couldn't ask for a better setup. Running ADW Launcher EX... smooth as a babies bottom and everything works as it should.
I hope this help you mate.
If she doesn't know what CM7 is I wouldn't install it for her. Last I checked, there are still some issues. Phantom ring is one where you get a loud ringtone in the earpiece after you answer a call every now and then. When I was running it, I had to toggle airplane mode sometimes to get back 3G data. It's mostly very functional but there are little things like that.
For a non power user just go with the EH03 debloated ROM or maybe superclean.
CM7 with glitch kernel v13 runs pretty much flawless for me. Imo its the fastet setup you can put on the fascinate right now(when its setup correctly)...pool party is another good one. I have tried every current rom/kernel and I keep coming back to this setup. I do prefer go launcher ex over the adw, w/ ICS theme. Up until 2 months ago TW was all I ran because mtd roms still had some bugs. Now that MTD is fully functional it was a no brainer to make the switch!

He could also Odin the EH03 based Geewiz (which is a debloat of stock EH03 with nothing added) or flash Superclean 3 which is a debloat + a bit more. Either way he will get a rooted setup nearly identical to yours with a lot less steps and no super slow OTA download. =)
As for your reports on CM7...that is a bit strange. CM7 is almost universally considered faster and more responsive than the Touchwiz releases. Personally, I preferred Sbrisens Pool Party when I used a mtd ROM which can be found over at rootzwiki. And while I'm on the subject of rootz, Awesome Sauce is another excellent Touchwiz based ROM if you would prefer to stay on something gcloser to Samsung's releases.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

I actually took your advice on this one as well. I'm now running CM7.1 Stable with Glitchv13 kernel. It seems to run a lot more stable with the glitch kernel... so far so good.
I also bounce between Go Launcher, adw, LLP, and the Espier (iphone)... lol Thanks agian.
Has the phantom ring been fixed? I actually switched to MIUI and glitch v13 last week and haven't seen it.

Not from my experience. I am running the latest nightly and still get phantom ring every now and again. Its a small price to pay for the features added from this great ROM!
I got the phantom ring running CM7.2 RC0, Glitch13.
Have to have Glitch for the in-call volume bug.

The phantom ring is getting so bad that I'm going to have to ditch CM7. I can't have my phone stuck phantom ringing when on silent during business meetings.
This is ridiculous, someone please help.
As much as I love all the features, it's pretty annoying when a phantom ring goes off in class
Are you guys using the stock kernel or glitch? I honestly don't know if there are any changes in the glitch kernel that would effect phantom rings, but I only had one phantom ring in my time on CM7 (using glitch).
I'm coming from every version of glitch including test. They never went away. Trying CM7.2 RC kernel as my last chance.
if CM7 isnt snappy enough for you i would definitely recommend OMGB, I used that for awhile and it was great.
I'm on TSM Resurrection, with KGB. Amazing battery life compared to stock and CM7. Zero issues so far except BLN that gets stuck on.
I have no idea why CM7 is so pitiful on the Fassy.

cm7 was far from pitiful...cm9 poops on touchwiz.
Yeah but stuff doesn't work like in cm7 the latest gapps don't offer Google voice or voice to text from the keyboard. I believe I had the same issues with cm9... along with lags and freezes. I'd go to cm7 in a heartbeat if I can get the voice text work in SMS. Just imho

I am raising the BS flag on this post! I had TTS working flawless on makelegs cm7.2 skang and have it working flawless on glitched aokp 35.1...matter of fact its worked since the early THS builds.
Alright, everyone. You knew this was coming. What's your favorite ICS ROM so far and why do you like it? I've only tried ICS Passion, but it's pretty slick. As a side note, please share whether or not your favorite ROM supports USB mass storage for the SD card. Passion doesn't yet.
Passion supports sd card and has for a while, at least it works on my phone. Passion is made specifically for Vibrant, while ICSSGS is made for I9000 and ported to vibrant, CM9 is what passion is based off of. Currently Passion V13 is the best out there
I have Passion v13 and UMS does not work. I heard that the last compatible version was 10.6, which seems to be the case. Do you have it working on v13?
Edit: Wow, so I just plugged it in and after not working many times, it now works. Both internal and external SD show up too, eventhough ICS isn't supposed to support internal SD storage.
I used it maybe five minutes ago to transfer an apk, and its been working for me since 10.6, when was the last time you wiped?
and yes I have V13
I just flashed v12 a week ago and then v13 maybe 4 or 5 days ago. It seems to be working now, though. Have you tried any ROMs other than Passion?
I used ICSSGS up until V10.6 of passion came out, I recently flashed ICSSGS RC4.2 and it wasn't as smooth as Passion V13
Good to know I made the right decision by going with Passion first. Do you use CPU governor in Passion?
I have been using lulzactive, and the lulzactive app which allows you to customize the governor
Does your keyboard lag a bit when you exit messaging? Because that's really the only thing that's not-so-smooth about Passion.
Yes it does, but I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. the keyboard also gets laggy after typing more that 100-ish words
v13
I had installed ics v13 last week but could not get GPS to work. The rom itself is awesome and VERY smooth. However, I needed my GPS, so I had to go back to bionix v 1.3.1.
I may try upgrading to ics once the GPS issues have been fixed for most people.

You couldn't get it to work even with AngryGPS? You can also allow apps to find your phone based on wireless networks, but I guess it's a bit late for that.

I came from MIUI, and with ICS have had the same GPS problems. Have you had the mute/unmute bug with bionix? That was why I switched from MIUI. I may switch to bionix if everything works.

I did notice that the call quality was not as great. Some cracking sounds, etc. The UI and everything else on the ROM was awesome. I just think that for me (I use my gps often) it would not work.
Bionix v1.3.1 is great, however it is based on 2.2, and I have had some issues with the notification pull down lagging extremely. I will need to ask in QA if anyone else is having that issue.
you really should make this a poll. i'd be interested in the results. well, my 2 cents: passion is, by far, the most stable and has almost everything working. AOKP and CNA are less stable, but have a lot more customization features.
AOKP is reasonably stable for me using Nelson's latest kernel instead of Glitch. the lockscreen, battery, and toggles are great. only thing i can do without is the pink unicorn.
edit: oh, and haven't tried any others (yet).

I have only tried Passion v12 and v13. the problem for me is that with so many issue still lingering in everyday items (GPS, voice sounds with the MUTE/UNMUTE 'fix'), I will rather stick to a Gingerbread or Froyo Rom.
I currently use FishManMod's Bionix v1.3.1 with the BlueMyst theme and I also installed the ICS fonts. Looks great, is fast, and everything works.
Until there is a smooth ICS rom with good battery life (reason why I hated CM7) and everything working, I won't go through the hassle of upgrading.
That's just my two cents.
I used to use Passion, but then I switched to OneCosmic RC3.1 and found it incredibly smooth. However, in order to get my GPS to work, I had to use the Passion kernel with OneCosmic's ROM. When I tried upgrading to OneCosmic RC4.x, it wiped my EFS...I learned the hard way that a backup was necessary. I ended up getting that fixed, and since then, I've switched to Passion v13. I find it to be great so far...everything seems to work well: GPS; purchasing apps from Market; etc.
Maybe if/when OneCosmic puts out RC5, I'll switch back over and check it out.
I got my gps working using this post:

Now that passion v13 is working and seems to be stable, I'm going to stick with it for awhile. Until something more interesting comes along... AOKP sounds interesting - thanks db3.
Just like the title says. Looking for a solid daily driver with no hassles. AOKP looks pretty darn good (tried out a much earlier build on another phone and liked it) but for those of you who have been in the ROM game with the i777 longer than I, I'd be grateful for opinions. Thanks.
I have tried all of them and all are great now that they all have run time now. Its all personal preference. I love CM9 and Fox Hound best just because of the stability(less f.c.) for me and apps I run. But could be different for you. Great thing is that you can customize all of them to your liking. But in only opinion as you will get from everyone. I like the two above.

Never had a fc on aokp cm9 or another Rom here... Obviously the Samsung Rom will be more stable but the aosp Rom are much more feature packed

I've been running AOKP for a few days now (b32, and now the 4-18-2012 update). I haven't really run into any issues (I think the default File Manager F.C. on a cut/paste once, but that's it), but other than that it has been quite stable and the level of built-in customization (something I absolutely love) is amazing.

I've been running Shoman's Shostock2 v2.1 (ran his RC1-RC6 and v1 as well) and I haven't had one FC's or non-working function I've run into. On the release candidates did have a couple of force closes but not on v1 or v2. Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.
P.S.
Battery life has been stellar as well.
I have found, the one from Google is VERY stable!

Ran tasks official at&t leak uclc5 for 2 weeks no probs, just updated to tasks ucld3 official leak today, to soon to tell but seems good only been running it a couple hours. I prefer mostly stock roms not to concerned with bling just want it to do what i need when i need it.
I just got a Vibrant and was wondering if I should roll with Passion, CGM, or AOKP?
I looked into these, but just wanted some more opinions on which one I should install.
I'd prefer to get something that would make my phone faster and have a better battery life.
Good luck! I'm personally too scared to try any of the ICS roms due to the spooky Encryption Unsuccessful bug.
That said, before I read up on that bug, I was going to install the Gummy rom. Seemed kinda cool.

ICZen and Slim are my favorite ICS builds, but with the GPS still having delayed lock problems (even for a Vibrant) I still come back to Froyo for daily driver purposes. If you don't mind a sub-par GPS (which the Vibrant is already infamous for) the ICS ROMs are badass. I've flashed different versions of Slim and ICZen about 15 or so times with their different releases, and I never had a problem with the encryption bug but the more I've read about it the more it worries me.
Fishman (Bionix-V Mod, AOSP, RAZR, among a few) and Moped Ryder (EZ_Ryder, and a Slim version of that) still update and work on Froyo ROMs, plus there are so many "vintage" 2.2 ROMs to give a run it took me about a week of flashing a bunch of them to find what I liked and didn't like. I still almost always settle back on Bionix-V 1.3.1 or Fishman's mod of 1.3.1, but Project-V is another nice one even though it's unsupported now.
I wasn't a fan of the look of Trigger look but the performance was very good, and Go Launcher being integrated into Deranged was a non-started for me. As awesome as Go Launcher is (my favorite freebie launcher), I like my ROMs as barebones as possible so that I can add what I want, but that's just me. Zendroid was another great Froyo build (I think Deranged was built off of it), but, again, something about the look didn't do anything for me but that's all personal taste. You can theme them how you want, but sometimes those don't touch as much of the overall look of the ROM as having them themed from "stock".
I'd say go with the latest iczen if u want stability cool features and great battery life. Plus you will still get support and a great team behind it with lots of cool themes I will try an get u my battery life screen shots once I'm home and on my computer

edit: this is some pretty heavy usage listening to music all day at work you can see that idle time is like 3%
and god we all know how much of a battery hog that fb app is
ICZEN is the one you're looking for.
This may be later than normal, but I've been on ICZen for a long time now...I tried to switch to CM9 but was highly disappointed by that, and went back to Zen... Much more stable, faster, more user friendly interface. Some things that I like that I could NOT go on without were the brightness slider on the drop down menu and the hold back to kill app features... those two alone make this app worth its weight in gold. I've tried six different ones and always go back to Zen Love their stuff!

If you want something new, fast, simple, stock-like, then get Helly Bean. For speed, I used these OC settings that someone suggested to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30957051
As for the battery life, I had GPS off and Wi-Fi off playing music from Winamp in my car with it for about an hour and it went down from 95% to 82%, if that helps.
Also, I recently flashed the build update from 9/2 to 9/4 Helly Bean and only had to change the LiveOC high and low after OCing with the settings in the link above without losing any files.
For me the CM10 last nigthly is the best.
I will have to try ICZen. I've been running on of the CM9 nightlies (04/29). It was great for quite awhile, but the battery life hasn't been very good the last week or so for some odd reason.
What ics roms are out there that are exceptionally good and have a good UI and good customization since I wanna try out things other than my current ICS zenwich from after my Passion from kept freezing and losing battery. ROMs like master ICS or Chimera (which I will download to my phone and flash tomorrow to try it out). Also wondering about any bug patches or fixes for the passion rom for battery and freezing issues.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
for me, chimera is my daily driver...i was on passion for a bit, jumped to euphoria which i liked a lot better. tried zenwich too...still on chimera. i heard slim is awesome but it is stripped down to basics. i havent tried it tho... cm9 rc1 should be rolling out soon for our vibrants as well. cant really go wrong with cyanogen...
battery life is pretty good with chimera...better than the others ive tried. gps works, 911 works. be sure to download and flash the v1.3 kernel while youre at it too. actually, i think the newest kernel is included in chimera v.2 rom. chimera is easy to flash and allows you to customize your install...
team passion does good work as do most other devs that still work on the somewhat out-dated but beloved vibrant. try em all out then decide on your fave...also try different kernel/rom combinations...
aloha
I think you have try this two roms run awesome
first is RemICS and the second one is MIUI V4
Passion was my first ICS rom. I had same issues, freezing (lock screen and Google search) and extreme battery power draw. I was using Gummy for awhile, nice rom, very custom friendly apex launcher. Tried slim, to bare for me. Now on RemICS! Beautiful rom plus includes devil kernel! Devil has a lot of user tweaks available. Do research to get best setup battery/performance for your needs.
Let's skip the chick flick moment..
Slim is my home rom pretty much. I've tried passion, euphoria, docs and now slim (in that order) and as far as my experience, slim has proved best, followed by euphoria. The only reason I ditched euphoria is because of the unacceptably slow updates.
