Best ROM

What do you think? I havent tried anything but fresh 2.0b/2.0b2 and I'm extremely satisfied. Don't know if I should try something else

Best ROM is simply a matter opinion. There is no "Best ROM" for everyone.
Sense is nice & all but I much prefer AOSP ROMs, due to there shear better performance & battery life.

I think I shouldn't have eaten that Taco Bell about 30 minutes ago....

many choices
Well to tell you the truth its all up to you which you consider the best rom, i still use pancake ive tried different ones but i chose that one, i highly recommend you try others just remember to read and follow directions properly.

Im thinking about messing with it tonight... but I'm on my apple comp and I cant figure out for the hell of me how to open the phone up through an apple
EDIT: Nvm just got it, my comp was acting retarded and I wish I woulda ate taco bell

Cyanogen in Vibrants future?

Cyanogen 6.1?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/home/cyanogenmod-6-0-status-update

Wow that quadrant score looks AMAZING.

He admitted he hacked/screwed the quadrant score to make it retardedly good.
Yeah, I really hoped it would be faster, but I think Wes Garner is surfing through till the 2.2 Update is live this next month then theyll throw in a new kernel and tweak it and call it CM.
I think the ETA is 1.5 months on a CM6 Rom for Vibrant, hope Im wrong, but thats my theory.

Uhm. you know CM is always compiled based off AOSP right? CM for Vibrant wouldn't be compiled based off Samsung's TouchWiz. And according to JAC
# CM6-ALPHA compiled for vibrant. going to make OTA package and test in the morning. about 22 hours ago via web

And where did you see this that he "hacked the quadrant score to make it look good." I don't get why anybody would do that, especially Cyanogen.

Oh I see. A lot of the CM6 for vibrant stuff are on Github so I don't know about him waiting for Samsung to push 2.2

here it comes
I have been trying to be patient, but with Google's new voice actions only working with froyo I really can't wait to get our CM6 on to see how it works. Here's hoping its sooner rather than later.

Grab Vlingo its pretty close to the same thing. Of course its not the samething, but you get pretty good results and it does perform ths same actions.

I hope it's coming soon.... there's too much lag on my vibrant for a 1ghz processor

The lag is because of crappy hardware (slow flash) and crappy proprietary filesystem (samsung's rfs). Neither of these things are likely to change in CM..

Ah, I see, that's unfortunate. In other words the only solution to this problem is a Samsung Firmware update?

No problems either.. the method for applying it isn't even difficult, try it yourself and you'll be impressed. And im not your "bro."

Work on the vibrant will pick up, Wes was working hard with Cyanogen on the final things to get the Slide CM6 build operational. Now its pretty much complete he can put some time on the Vibrant build.
Eugene & Barak's work on the AOSP 2.1 is coming along nicely as well, once its complete I assume (I am no dev) 2.2 AOSP will be pretty easy to build (once everything works in 2.1).

That'd be my guess as well. Launcher pro plus and the lag fix has made this feel like a much different phone. Touch wiz is basura.

Holy irritable shrieking vagface, relax. No need to get panties/pantaloons twisted. My concern wasn't related to user difficulty in installing the fix. When I scanned the thread I noticed it wasn't universally working so I decided to wait. I appreciate your incredibly precious time and valuable insight

[Q] Serious ?

Is it wrong for me to wanna make love to my phone with all these new ROM's, themes, etc. that everyone keeps coming out with?
Should I have put this in Q&A?

I guess it is.

Now now now... to be fair, I've sat there with my Hero comparing speeds vs and Epic and Evo, while it's definitely slower it's not slow enough on CM6RC1 to make anyone go "I would definitely prefer an Evo or Epic" unless you were A. A geek like most on here B. A and C. B.

How could I not? He stirred up more bull$h1# in the Hero forum than anyone I've ever seen.
I won't post any of the PM's I got from markus.. or fixxxer. But I do still have them.
I'll leave it alone now, I just have a lack of ability to ignore bullcrap, what can I say..
I hope fixxxer/markus likes his job with Sprint, sounds like a fun gig. But I hope to hell he doesn't get an EVO, and if he does and starts spreading his particular brand of antagonistic, unhelpful negativity around the EVO forum like he did here in the Hero forum then then I imagine I may just end up catching another ban..
Sorry to see he's back, wish he would get an iPhone, that's all.

Arguably the most incorrect, yet strangely perfect, way I've ever heard anyone describe anything.
But, no, I don't think it's possible. The lowest kernel we have is for eclair. I don't know if you were here when all the Gingersense leaks happened, but before we had the 2.3 kernel, nobody could get anything to boot.

Why not just download the sdk and play with the emulator?

Hope this helps
Fyi I remember Cupcake because it was the first time we got an actual non home brewed keyboard for the HTC Vogue. Yay for 1.5

As strange a thing as this is, it's still nice to think about it. I remember the days of 1.5. Stuff was simpler back then.

I'm into messing with dated hardware & software so naturally I'd be interested in something like this...

Verizon Finally Starts Field Testing Gingerbread for the Samsung Fascinate, Build EH0

It's official Verizon has started testing a Gingerbread build (2.3.5), though I want to know why the battery meter is the same as now, and it's not the green standing up battery meter that we are familiar with on the other Galaxy S phones.
I can't post the link but the news is on droid-life and phandroid

at the bottom of the article it says:
“ZOMG, it’s just a build.prop edit!”

eh03 is very real...unless what im using on my fascinate at this second is a figment of my imagination

Is a Build.prop.edit a bad thing? If that's the case I think I'm just going to go ahead and root and see if I can use EI20. The problem is once I put EI20 on my phone, I won't be able to update anymore right? It will be nice to have my phone Bingless though.

Can you take some screenshots please? Fascinate has had the ability to do so since Froyo (hold back key and hit powerkey). I want to see how it looks like, and what kind of Quadrant scores you are getting, can you also please link the apps?

Quadrant is a bit bunk I agree with that, but I noticed that on Galaxy S phones running 2.3.4 and higher that the Quadrant scores have been reading anywhere from the low 1400s to the low 1700s. I just wanted to know what they changed in Gingerbread that made the phones a bit more responsive.
That said bro, /beg would be nice to see some screenies.

I'm really wondering how EH03 matches up against EI20 on the generic sch-i500(Showcase) or how it matches up to EH09 on the Mesmerize.

This sounds like a bit of fail on Verizon's end.

Too bad none of the leaks are stable...nothing but problems with force closings, random loud static while on calls and other various problems. I think Verizon is actually swapping them for totally different devices if you call and complain...

From what I heard, the leak is pretty good, everyone says the phone has really sped up with this Gingerbread build, not only that, but for once when you hit the search button it goes directly to Google search, no more Bing crap. That said, Bing is still on the phone, but much less prevalent.
What kind of Quadrant scores are you getting with Galaxy S Epic 4G Gingerbread official release?
