Best(only?) way would probably be flashing one of the custom ROMs.
So I need to flash which rom? Sorry noob here.

Could I go to rom manager and flash one of the 2.2 roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah flash whatever(froyo) you want...recommend researching flashing first however just in case something goes wrong. Recommend Bi Winning V3 from the Development area btw.
You could also flash many and see which one you like more.
I like hearthen's (I think?) SGS II clone.
I just LOVE the way it looks and it's pretty smooth, if I might say so.
Also, TeamWhiskey's Bionix NextGen is one of the best ROMs I've tried... if you can stand the fact that it's just blue everywhere, it's excellent.
Personally, I like my shiny colors, that's why even if Im a TW fangirl, I stuck to SGS II Clone.
I personally like trigger, but just look around and see which one you like best. My set up is as follows:
Rom: trigger 3.0.1
Modem: kb5
Kernal: overstock 1.4.3
Theme: vibrant HD 1.4

Hello everyone I'm gonna start out by saying I'm only asking this because I'm from the gs4g and my dad has the vibrant and wants a rom on it. Ok so what I'm asking is what's the smoothest fastest stock touchwiz rom for this phone

Sorry mods I just saw that sticky

Well.. "stock"...... ehhhhhhhh
If you want custom roms, theres a lot, and i'm guessing your dad won't be interested in updating the rom once in a while, so i'd say try Bionix, or Toxic, both are Touchwiz (ithink) and give great battery life, however they are pretty old, so there hasnt been any updates and they are not the latest firmware in the Android saga
+1 on those. I am pretty much supporting Toxic8 and a few of us are picking apart Deranged9, both 2.2's. Fishman has a Bionix redux that he has put together and tweaked. Very worthwhile.
Since I am sure your dad isn't going to maintain the ROM like we do, these are all solid builds with working GPS and 911.
Best stock and rom do not belong in the same sentence. I don't know of a stock rom that is any better than half of the dev roms out there.
Ok thanks guys I'll have to try those out for him and see what he likes

Now my dad just wants to get the official 2.2 update from kies but asked me if there was anything I could do to make it faster so what kernal do you guys recommended

I've been using toxic 8 for a while but project v was great too, probably the closest you'll get.
If you are in vibrant just flash neobuddy ICS passion. This is ultimate

Go with a 2.2 rom like most have said. They are the most stable AND are able to dial 911 in any situation. Reason #2 would be the biggest factor if I were doing this for my parents. I'd feel absolutely terrible if my parents were in any emergency and couldn't dial 911.
Ok so my dad has a vibrant and hes been saying its been slow and wants me to make it faster. What would be the easiest way to do that for him

Please give us a little more information. What rom is on the phone? Original 2.1 JFD Eclair?, KB5 Froyo?, some custom Rom?
He's on original 2.1 I rooted it for him but never did anything to yet

Hmmm... Does he have a lot of apps on his phone? Perhaps apps running in the background are bogging down his phone.

To keep things closer to your dad's experience there's FishmanMod which is an update to a very popular Bionix -v 1.3.1 Rom. It will fly compared to stock but everything works and it won't be totally unfamiliar to the dad.

be careful, the GS4g and Vibrant may look the same, but their flashing procedures are a bit different. read up and then do it.
Adding on to xriderx66, use this guide if you need a reference when backing up & flashing a custom rom to your dads phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Since he's already rooted start from: "OKAY, I HAVE ROOT - NOW WHAT? BACKUP!!!"
If your dad is happy with the stock ROM (with the exception of the speed) then I would definitely suggest going with something like the fishman mod that is based on the stock 2.2 ROM. That'll make sure he still has all the stock apps and such. I used Bionix for a LONG time and was always really happy with it.
I'm gonna show him bionix and see what he says

I suggest showing him Fish's version of Bionix for the mere reason that Fishman is supporting it daily, while Team Whiskey is no longer.
Fish is good at what he does. My name is Woodrube and I endorse this message.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any ROMs for that device. I need a stock-based ROM and kernel to be able to do anything. Anyways, I'll start on Sense today.

I could port a banana over to the galaxy tab if that helps

Hey guys, how are you?
I bought my SGS3 a few month ago. Since than I've been constantly looking for the best ROM.
I want a ROM with very good battery life, and I also want it to run smoothly.
Version 4.1.2 or above.
Also, if a kernel is necessary please tell me which kernel to use.
Thank you very much,
Orel/Xeiss.

Unfortunately best ROM threads are banned on XDA and this will be locked shortly , the reason being a certain ROM might be good for you may not be good for someone else.
All as you will be told is to go and try many different one and see which Is best for you.
Good luck.

I've had a Mini Galaxy before (Not the one that was just released)
I personally prefer Android than iOS. It wasn't really hard to get used to, In 1-3 days you'll become a master
If someone would suggest me to get an iPhone 5 instead of my SGS3, he won't live anymore
Ho watch some YouTube videos and decide. Good luck!
BTW thabka for telling me Motogp1, I'll do it. Moderators, if you can please lock this thread without banning me if would be great, I'm new here and I really don't want to get a ban right off the bed Thanks.
Just another last question, what's the difference between the forums Android Development, and Original Android Development?

You can try Ultima ROM. It looks and feels good.
You may try siyah, perseus,boeffla, galaxsih kernel and suit yourself.
Also look for wanam's deodexed stock roms.
Took me about a week to get used to from iPhone was rooted trying custom roms very easy but figured I didn't need all that so now just on stock 4.1.2 and loving it battery life is great.
