Hi all
Currently running CM7 (7.1.1) on my Tbolt. If i remember correctly, CM7 doesn't work well with the GPS, so I'm looking to go back to the "last" official build from Vz for the Tbolt.
Can anybody direct me to what I should download/do? The reason I am doing this is because of the GPS functionality. I'm going to be doing a bit of business travel here in a bit and I need a GPS.
Thanks
Any sense rom will work fine. Try cm7.2 over at rootzwiki.

I think the first rom I had was CM 7.1 and I think I had a GPS issue too. I liked the ROM it was fast, unlike das Bamf which I'm running now. Is 7.2 less buggy. All the ROMS I see look outdated.
7.2 is a lot less buggy than 7.1. It runs great of you ask me. The gps is still finicky but there is a way to get it to work by getting a lock with a sense rom using gps status and then restoring a nand of cm7 2.

I tried non-sense for a while, but the Sense Smoothness, Widgets and syncability have me coming back, especially with 2.3 and sense 3.0
BAMF 1.63 was very solid when I was running it. Running the beta 2.0 they have now. I haven't had too many issues with it but nothing like their 1.63
I have Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3 and things have been running smoothly as well. Sense/Stock was also smooth and stable, but I have heard that some custom kernels/ROMs can improve battery life (and hearing some complaints about the Thunderbolt's battery life, I wanted to make sure I optimized it to the best of my ability).
I am running cm7 and it is fairly stable but a bit of work to get working. I can't wait for more updates.

Well before I rooted my phone I love sense but then rooted it I been looking for a no sense. I try bamf and its so good I had the no sense but then try cm7 didn't get 4G working I went back to bamf it took me about a day to get 4g back I was running 1x, after that haven't try cm 7. I like it but the keyboard is so tiny.

BAMF 1.6.3 has a de-sense zip you can flash with it but there are not many no-sense ROMS out yet. The CM7 is in the alpha if you want to try and work with that for a while.
I cant wait for a full stable AOSP ROM to come out but for now I am using BAMF 1.6.3 de-sensed.
I know this has probably been repeated numerous times in the past but the roms change very often and so i was just wondering what you guys thought of as the best gingerbread rom. I'm currently on MIUI 360 and i like it so far. I havent tried many of the newer nightlies for cyanogen though so idk what those perform like.
Cm7 is best stable rom without gps! Especially with nightlies with rom manager premium

I used Simply Honey 3.6 and was extremely happy with it. Super fast and stable. I had to reluctantly give it up for Froyo though because I use my GPS too much.

Flashable please
Cm7.
No doubt.
If you needed gps there is new I've out I can't remember name but it says jvp on title
Miui made me love my phone again.
simply honey 3.6... that rom is the smoothedt of all in all ways.. browser is as smooth as iphone 4 and is fully capable of playing back 720p flash videos because its a hardware accelerated rom.. also you can downgrade without using odin but by just simply using sgs kernel flasher....
Blitzkreig with working gps. Awesone.

Cm7 gets my vote.

I Love Cyanogen, however i have not used it on the Vibrant due to the glitches its seems to still have.. Simply Honey 3.6 is very smooth and will be updated Sunday to 3.8 with the new GPS fix and alot of other option that will supposedly make it even better.. Right now i have Bltzkrieg running on my Phone right now and its to nice, especially with the GPS fix kernel.. but it is probably the least polished of the 3..
I liked simply honey, Liked cm7, LOVING the Blitzkreig with the working GPS...

Woah seriously? Simply honey is getting working gps from the jvp leak? That actually makes me considering switching back too 2.3, hows battery life on it?

Me as well. There are a couple things that need to be ironed out, but I'm sure in no time they'll be good. If your looking for something a little prettier then go with Simply Honey.

No idea since it hasn't been released yet.. it will be based on 2.3.4 and However Blitzkrieg is also based on 2.3.4 and i get awesome battery life..
MIUI us is pure sex.
Flashed MIUI a few days ago and it is just amazing, I can't see myself going back to any other ROM. Don't know if it's device specific, but my GPS has always worked.
miui is amazing. just gotta work out the bandbase issue and ill be unstoppable
I've tried CM 7... looks awesome but I got problems with adding account, it cant retrieve something of the account!! now I have no market no gmail...nothing! I tried reflash and odin to stock then back to CM....didnt work
MIUI...sorry but its a freak copy of the Iphone... dislike
Now Im gonna try the simple honey...let's see....
I say try Blietzkrieg, it has a working GPS. Not themed or polished as others, but it's a VERY good Rom for 2.3
I've rocked it once, but I had to revert back to Trigger/NextGen because of issues with some apps I need for my work. But once it stables, I'll hop on that like a cop having a bag of donuts!!!

+1 on skyraider. Eternity is great too but kinda slow
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
eternity
overclocked to 1.7 runs awesome for me. plus sense 3.5
CM7 (minus the NFL mobile) is my favorite. Bamf forever kicks ass as well.
Gingerbreaton with imoyseon 5.1 handsdown.
LOVE some CM7.
Hate not having a functional NFL Mobile app.

MIUI is my favorite so far.
How does Eternity compare to Bamf/Bamf Soab? It's hard to find clear comparisons with all of the variety out there.
ps. I'm actually still on the stock GB rom right now
Enternity here as well.
I believe because of all the Sense 3.5 elements, it's a hair slower than others.
Mine is OC'd to 1.2 with Lagfree Governer.
That being said, it's fine with me.
Rock solid. I've dabbled in every ROM out there.
BAMF does make a solid ROM. DroidTh3ory was making killer ROMs.
I have a backup of ProTekk's updated CM style ROM to go just because...
In my opinion, Eternity and BAMF SonOfAB ran very similar in speed/performance and reliability.
Patiently waiting working Data, Phone and sms/mms on Twisted/DroidVicious ICS build...
All the ROMs you mentioned are solid. But the right one for you is like asking you what kind of car/truck you drive.
Backup, try 'em...only way you'll know.
Using MIUI although the Son of a Bliss ROM was also one that kept me for a long time. I still feel CM7 has battery drain issues but maybe it's just me.
Eternity for me...
My only other choice would be BAMF SoaB because I want Sense 3.5 but I prefer Eternity and I really can't think of a reason why, it just works for me.
CM7 for me!
Love my 11/14 release of CM7. I have never had batt issues, maybe cause I cal the batt after each new rom?
CM7 seems to me the closest total Android experience I have found for my TB.
I'm looking forward to CM9!
Where can I download cm7 or soab

Loving the eternity rom. Tried the rest, always came back. Sense 3.5 is just too good, not to have.

Bamf forever 1.11
Liquid Thunderbread is pretty slick (2.6 is the latest). I'm on Liquid ROM 3.2 right now and its running like a broken glass bottle with a 1.5ghz processor. Its smooth, sharp and runs at 1.5ghz.
Signature.

1.11? Latest one is 1.10........or am I missing something???
Edit: nvm just dug through the thread and found it
So what ROM is everyone using as their daily right now? What have you tried? Why did you choose your current ROM over others?
Rocko... since CM9 camera stopped working for me
Cm9 here. Came from cm7. I'm a flashaholic and I really like how smooth it is. Haven't flashed anything since. Just a couple kernels to see if I like any.

Rocko 3.0,i was running stock for a while but ive tired them all
Currently it's Rocko 3.0 unlocked. It has some blur I don't like or use, but I still like it. Battery life is decent for me and it is quite stable.

As far as stability and usability goes, I don't think you can beat imperium initiative. Its amazing and completely underrated... As for me I can't stay away from cm9 for some reason. Camera pisses me off sometimes but whatever, things get more promising with every release.
I love threads like this as a newcomer to this phone it helps me know which ones to consider I can't vote yet I guess until I upgrade May 1st

Joker's Cyanogen mod 9 because it's near perfect. I'm sure the camera will be working again real soon, so I can live without it for a few days.

So is MIUI. Camera works but still similar issues to CM9
Stock EVERYTHING. Too many issues with other ROM's, so I put everything back and phone works like a charm!
Same here.. stock with Launcher pro..
Gives me 1 1/2days battery nd also 450mb ram free all time

Imperium initiative. Works very well and everything works.
I actually didn't have much problem with the stock rom, except that for me voice command kept starting up out of no where and the audio would occasionally with speed up to chipmunk speed.
Started using CM9 a week ago and I am not going back. Before that it was the stock rooted
