I've tried numerous roms from froyo to jelly bean, but can't seem to find anything completely stable. Can anyone help me with this?

I had great results with Bionix V (froyo). I don't use GPS, so I cannot comment on that personally. Other people reportedly had no problems.
It uses the Bali kernel, and it had ridiculous battery life.
I tested a different phone for like 19 days, and left it on in a drawer on airplane mode and it wasn't dead yet when I went back and got it out.
However, I use Helly Bean 8/12 build right now and have had no issues whatsoever. Like I said though, I don't use GPS. I know there are issues with that.
The Cyanogenmod 7.2 would probably be the most stable I imagine. I'm always amazed at the speed and battery life when I tell myself I'm not doing any beta roms for a while.
iczen all the way it was only rom to have excellent gps as well as battery backup........ics passion is also nice but it is old ........for 2.2 bionix is awsome ........none of the gingerbread roms are good for daily use ...

I'm using Bionix now and it's extremely laggy. The battery life is good, but that's about it. I even redownloaded and reflashed it a couple of times to make sure. I'm not really a fan of Jelly Bean for this device, I may try out Helly Bean though. Thanks!:good:

In recovery is voodoo lagfix turned on? This ROM absolutely flew for me... it was starting to bog down right before I switched to HB, but I ran it for several lag-free months prior to switching.
For me, Bionix (fishmanmod) is the most stable of all. Battery life is excellent. WiFi calling works and GPS locks in <20 seconds. I've never experienced lag. (Make sure voodoo lagfix is on).
I'm running a nightly from CM9 and it works like a dream. I think mine is the 20120423 nightly. It doesn't have GPS, but I have a GPS in my car already, and that's the only place I would need a GPS anyways.

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.
Okay I know, I know: "Another one?"
Okay hear me out, this thread is dedicated to know what ROM you guys think is the most stable and fastest and best looking. Doesn't have to have all three but basically I'm asking you guys. "in your time with the vibrant, what ROM do you think is the best?" If you have a kernel or mod/tweak you should also post it.
Please not responses like "depends on you. It really depends on what you want" none of that
Please!

I personally like MIUI LE Lithium Vr. 3.1. It is very stable and is highly customizable.
Miui with that new mod in the Dev section, its like the only mod for Miui so you'll findit.
Stable and beautiful comes with stock Miui.
Better battery life comes with the mod

Ultimate 8.2 port. Haven't stayed on a rom longer than I have with this one.
Smoothest and BEST rom ive tried was Bionix next gen V2 with immortality 2.2 kernel.
Its so smooth. But remember, the tw launcher on the rom is messed up. You need to download a new launcher from the market I prefer go launcher.
You won't regret it, trust me!

From the battery life, to stability, to the GPS, everything's just better. Plus, since Netflix works on Froyo now, I'm not missing much. The only thing I am missing out on is gtalk with the ffc. But even then, I didn't really use it all that much.
Not much I was getting out of 2.3 except for worse battery life and poor GPS performance.
Also, being able to call 911 doesn't hurt either.

Hrmm. I have yet to get 24 hours of battery life out of any Gingerbread ROM - regardless of build or kernel.
And I know you're lying about the GPS. Or just misinformed. Or something. But the GPS is nowhere close to what I get on Bionix 1.3.1
That's absurd to say don't reply with depends on what you need, it has everything to do with that, to make a selection of what you want, LOL!!! Because everyone has specific needs to be met in order for the phone to deliver what you need or want!! As an example I NEED AWESOME GPS FUNCTIONALITY, because of my Job, and that alone weeded out alot of ROM's immediately for me. So you want to know what ROM's are best then again, for me I wanted full overall functionality with a strong signal and awesome GPS, and blazing speed and I finally found that with "Crazy 8 Froyo gone crazy with Ginger!!"
Its the fastest smoothest ROM I've ever used, got it OC'd stable at 1.2GHz, bad ass tweaks along with the V6 script Mod, great battery duration and the GPS fix using heathen GB fix makes the GPS lock with a 20Ft radius within 20 to 30 seconds and its a really beautiful ROM, and also can be re themed if you don't like the stock looks. Which I happen to like, so I left it alone. So there ya go, that's what works for me, If I didn't need GPS I might have gone to CM7 or any of the others, Simply Honey never worked out for me because of issues, and so on!! So again what works for me, may not be YOUR agenda!! But that's your choice and you asked for opinions, here ya go!!
The one that makes my peener the hardest.

Hey guys, Epic 4g user here. I'm updating a buddies phone to CM7 and just wanted to get the communities opinion on which route to go. He works alot of hours so we don't really get much time to play around with different builds so I want to get a very stable and battery efficient rom on it for him. So my question is the latest nightly build stable enough to run as a daily driver? Anyone have problems with battery with CM7 stable or nightly? Would you recommend a different rom instead of CM7?
Don't feel obligated to answer all or any of the questions lol just wanted some opinions! Thanks!
Grompy
I'm using UnNamed ROM 1.1. I like it a lot. Very stable and very good battery life. It's worth looking into in my opinion.
If you choose cm7 go for the most recent nightly, it's extremely stable and the recently nightly fixes wifi tethering. Everything works perfectly and no issues, I've been running the nighties for awhile with no issue.

Thanks for the feedback. If we go with cm7 I'll use the latest nightly any reports on battery life? He was complaining that his stock rom out of the box was only lasting him 7-8 hrs :\
Battery life is great for me since I've started using juice defender and cm7. Overnight I loose two percent in 8 hours and I get through the day with heavy usage and thirty percent left with close to 4 hours screen time. I'll try and post some screenshots if you'd like once I'm home

Go for ICS Zenwich 1.8.4 straight away if you are looking for good battery life.
+3 for Zen. I've been running is since Beat stages and no matter what I try or test, I keep going back. It is my home ICS ROM, so to speak.
Need to go here to get it. Plenty of support by the development team and more experienced users.
I also had good luck with Zen and Slim.
I installed remICS a few days ago and love it. I'm getting the best battery life since Bionix. Still have 67% after almost 24 hours. WiFi and GPS on, medium to light use. GPS works great too.
I wanna give zen a try , i just don't like all the ying and yang notification bar or the laughing Buddha. Is there an option to turn these off?
There are plenty of themes over there for it too.
+4 its the best thing going, no muss no fuss,icz 1.8.4
Laughing Budda, I never got that, dang gotta find that, just when you think your with the in crowd...this..slight
To me the best ICS Rom out there right now is " ICS ROM 4.0.4 RemICS v1.2 BETA from (Team Remics)"

I'm using Jellybro and GPS is about as good as it's ever been for my Vibe. Just "meh." If I open Maps and let it settle for a bit it will lock. Then I can go into Endomondo or Navigation or whatever. But if I go straight to Endomondo and try to do my route it won't really ever lock.

I only get Galasy S settings to open with Devil kernel. The Devil kernel 103 messed up my modem so I had to refash KB5 after flashing Devil. The brightness slider option (slide finger across notification area) works, but is kinda glitchy sometimes. But overall it is the most stable ROM I've ever flashed - no force closes, etc.
JB development has come a long way.
I was surprised how fast we've got JB on our Vib. Thanks to the devs for their never ending support.
As per my experience JB is buggy at best. But i think its good since none of the devs are saying they are out of alpha release already.
JB GPS is working intermittently on sygic gps app but it doesnt work at all when i switch to google nav.
I dont have this problem on ICS i can just switch to sygic or google without a problem.
Browsing is laggy. Battery life is not that good.
But it's very tolerable. (Depends really on your tolerance level)
But again development is on its early stage, for sure the best is here to come.
Been flashing JB for the last 2 weeks. Time to get a rest. Lol
Back to IC Zen 1.8.4 with a Jelly Bean Theme. Its smooth, GPS is working pretty well. And i still get the JB experience with the theme.
Nothing to complain really...
