Hey guys. I was wondering what kernel and or ROM is the fastest availible at the moment.
I've been following the Android Developement pages here for a while, and I consider myself somewhat proficient at flashing firmware, etc.
I'm running CM7 on my Vibrant right now, and I was wanting to flash a different ROM. I considered going back to stock, but I wanted to get input on what is the fastest availible right now.
Also: what lagfixes and overclocking tools do you use? I am trying to make my Vibrant as fast as possible.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Malice is the fastest. Bullet kernel is the only one which can do 1.4Ghz so i am assuming its the fastest.
Agreed! kernel/ROM (imho) Bullet1.42Ghz/Malice2.3.1.
Another good kernel i like is Tigersbloodv3
Both those kernels OC well if ur phone can handle it.
If your phone doesn't play well with OC my personal favorite is CwK
Also, download Spare Parts from the market and set both animations to "fast"... this makes the ROMs appear much faster.
The real test is going back and forth between apps and the load time.
"fast" is kind of a floating point. As someone already mentioned, fast can sometimes be as easy as speeding up the animations.
I've had great luck with the SimplyGalaxy roms due to their ability to remain fast months after flashing.
Cool! Thanks for all the input, guys!
What about overclocking and lagfix utilities?
I heard there is an app or tool that you can overclock, but set to underclock when the phone is not in use...
Also, I was using one click lag fix on stock, is there anything like that I need for these ROMs, or does it come built in?
For over/under clocking, try setcpu from the market.
OCLF is nowhere near as good as Voodoo. Most ROMs that are available in the dev section come with a voodoo injected kernel.
Try vibrace overclocked. I guerentee you will love it!

Malice or Bi Winning W/ Bullet Kernel.
Then spare parts to adjust animation speeds. <3
I personally found MIUI to be the snappiest at 1.3 ghz.
I've been running custom ROMs on my vibrant since the day it became possible, and every time I install something other than one of Eugene's ROMs I come to regret it.
CM7 with a custom OC/UV kernel gets a 2100 Quadrant that translates to a really snappy UI and 3D faster than any 2.2 ROM.

ROMs (and kernels for that matter) cannot give you faster internet speeds. The only thing that will give you a faster connection will be a better signal, and the only thing on your phone that can give you a better signal that you can change is the modem. What ROMs and kernels can do is make the connection more consistent, so the connection speed doesn't fluctuate as much, but that is the best you could hope for.

there is no throttling enabled in the kernel or rom. Any throttling Verizon is going to do is on the network side, and no kernel or rom you flash is going to do anything to fix it. The issue with the stock kernel, at least the Eclair one, was that during periods of high data usage, the kernel drivers weren't coded well and they would easily bog down under load due to the issues and cause heavy fluctuation in your connection speeds. SirGatez fixed the issue in his Eclair kernel, and I'm sure that when the Froyo source is released, or if he gets the i9000 source working, he'll do the same thing again with that. But, there is no throttling or other bandwidth control setup.

A rom is, as good as the operator and what that operator may have installed on his or her device. Sod, mms, and clock lag and other issues are not the fault of the rom.

Another +1 for super clean.
As a further example of how complications are usually the fault of the user..... I was rooted running S.C. 2.9.1 voodoo EB16 Kernal and I starting having restart problems and even a bootloop at one point.... This was not the ROM but a theme I had decided to flash over it. Anything outside of what is provided for you in the Super Clean threads is a gamble.
Currently after returning to stock I am running the same set-up minus the theme and am having no issues. Running smoother and faster than ever.

I just need a stable 2.2 ROM, preferably with a 1.4 GHz overclock.
Stable roms (that I've tried) - Bionix, Trigger, and Bi-Winning
Since you want to OC, you need a custom kernel (i think all those roms just come with Stock voodoo). Any OC that you will do will not create a stable environment for your Vibrant (everyones CPU is built differently so results will vary). Basically, OC and Stable do not go in the same sentence.

Which one would you guys recommend to me most?
I'm currently on Bali, have been for about 12 hours, and its given me a few hours extra on battery life, but i'm wondering, is Glitch even better? I don't like to flash things I don't need.
So you guys tell me.
This is to help me, AND others that wonder the same question...
Havent tried bali yet. Luuuurve glitch tho. Voodoo color is a plus and my battery life is much better, about 5 hrs more than stock redux. But as doon as bali gets voodoo color [which is soon] ill try it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Well, I'd say glitch is for the more technically/tweaking due to it have voodoo color, up to 1.7ghz oc, insane work into UV and oc stability based on your chip quality.
But Bali might have slightly better vibrant specific support since it's from a mostly vibrant oriented dev. But Bali might be more generic in the features it has (this sentence is not meant to be read as a knock or rude in anyway).

I never got how to flash a kernal. 2 years into android and I'm still clueless-__-. Do you flash it like a normal rom? I have miui running. Do I just flash? Wipe?
Im fairly new to flashing kernels as well, but you DL it, put it on your internal SD and flash it like you would a rom. Thats all I did when I flashed Bali.
So far no real difference on Bali, my battery drain on cm7 is still terrible but I just flashed it today so Ill give it a couple more days
I always had crappy battery on Glitch, and I'm talking 8-10 hours completely unused. Bali is vibrant-specific and gives MUCH better battery life, 15 hours and still had 30% left.

for bali, you do it normal, and for glitch to be safe, theres a script you have to download, and first flash that, then the kernel.

IDK if there's a version for Froyo ROMS.
Glitch is for CM7, specifically, idk if it will even work for miui- you need to pay attention to the title, which i never read.
but it is for 2.3 roms as far as i know, and there MAY be one for froyo in the future if enough people contact the developer asking for it.
So i dont know really know much about roms and kernels but i have alien and kholks kernel . which are the best of the best as of today ? Thanks
Purely subjective... different strokes for different folks.
I would venture to say though, that Alien is probably the most downloaded Atrix ROM right not... mostly b/c of the reputation Kenn had w/ GingerBlur, back on 2.2.2 (well deserved reputation I might add).

Agreed. I'm using Aura 1.1.3 Debloat #7. It is crazy fast, light, and has no Moto crap. My regular use of the phone with other roms burned about 5% to 7% an hour.

Hate to hear that!! As far as the Battery, are you using SetCPU for UV and or Over clocking? I have some profiles set up for the CPU and have set UV as well. My phone will get hot on occassion, but usually only if I am on it for a long streatch. I am using Swiftkey X as my keyboard and have had no issues.
There is no such thing as a Best ROM.
If you asking this question, answer would be, there is none. If you really want to find out which one is "GOOD FOR YOU?" you should try flashing all the ROMs. As such, so far there is very handful of ROMs are available anyways. Flashing all of them one by one would only be a matter of a week or so.
See what you like and stick to the one.
IMO this is the best way to answer your question.

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.

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

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)

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 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 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. Other than that, like I said, it's great—I fully recommend it.

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
