What cyanogen based rom is most suited to everyday use?

Title says it all. I currently use xtr rom because I wanted a pretty vanilla experience and speed without breaking things. I now want to move to a totally nonsense based rom. Preferably a Cyanogen based one, but I'm not sure which one is most worry free, like everything works, mms, gps, rotation and accelorometer. etc. Thanks, and sorry that I can't really figure this out my self, i just thought it would be better to hear from those who have acctually tried the roms.

The best way to figure out which one is best for you is to use them. Try it for a few days and then try another. No one can tell you what you will prefer.

erislightingbolt ....by conap if im not mistaken. Its definitely perfected enough for daily use.

I use CM6 every day without any problems, texting works, wifi works, gps works, calls work lol I haven't come accross anything that would stop me from using it every day.

Thanks everyone, I'm giving CyanogenELB a shot right now.

Please report back with a "review".
Some of how we like/dislike a ROM is subjective, but your experience can be helpful to others.

I'm using Tazzpatriot's cm6 and it is perfectly fine for everyday. I pull 5.1 on linpack with no setcpu even installed. The stock camera doesn't have preview but it shoots perfectly fine pics. Gps has been a bit sketchy as of latest build but I think tazz may have a fix for that on the way. I love the speed and battery life of it. I am running launcher pro and I popped for the newly offered plus version to help with development and for the widgets he is including. I never have lag and mms works great.

This thread belongs in general. Mods, please move it.

Well I think its a great rom, highest LINPACK score I have seen on my eris yet, but I get this strange lag while scrolling and for some reason it actually feels slower than xtr. I think I'm going to give CM6 a shot.

So, I restored my NANDroid backup of xtr and it strangely feels faster. I hate the HTC dialer, People, and messaging app tho. I think I'm just going to wait until the Froyo Cyanogen roms get more refined and move to one of those. Thanks Everyone.

Tazz's CM6
I've been using Tazz's CM6 with Froyo. Definitely very solid. I use set CPU to 768, JIT, and 24 Heap. With that I get up to 5.2 MFlops. With Skyfire browser I get flash videos too. No more slow phone problems and no more Sense. I love ADW, the dialer, automatic application upgrades, etc, etc.

Most of the Froyo/CM6 roms run well, but are missing basic things like camera, tethering,etc. For a great, fully working rom I would suggest ErisLightningBolt. It is a port of Cyanogen 5 (2.1) and runs great. I get great batttery life and the camera, usb tethering, and Wifi tethering all work great.

Im on CM6 and loving it. It's very smooth and snappy, battery life is good, and it looks nice as well coming from my stock 2.1 setup. My only complaint is the issue with the led light staying on after charging or USB hook up, but I'm using noti led as a fix for that and im using magic cam for a camera fix until those issues are resolved, but overall CM6 has treated me very well!

Ok, well now you all got me really craving to try a froyo rom. CM6 or kaosFroyo? Mostly concerned with stability.

I'm talking only by my own experience, CM6. I tried both (last version I used of K.F. was 21) and I've had such great results with CM6 and very mixed results with K.F. but that's just me.

I run kaos Frayo V24 and its amazingly fast and no force closes only thing not in this for us the camera do t have a preview( use camera magic from market) and flash isn't there yet, other than that kaos V24 is fastest smoothest Frayo Tom out there that I've tried and slot of people.check the kaos Frayo thread out it's awesome.

Chalk one up for tazzpatriot's port of Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 v3 hero port. (not the RC DS 1 G1 Port)

I forget what exactly, but something about it works that DOESN'T work in KaosFroyo that is necessary for me for a daily ROM. I'll edit this post if I remember it.
All of the devs do a spectacular job on their ROMs though. I would venture a bet that KaosFroyo is a much cleaner, better put together ROM as a result of Kaos's fantastic understanding of Android and how general computer stuff works.

Droid Does V1.1 FTW!!

The default launcher on elb is out dated. What i did was download launcherpro then go in and delete adwlauncher from system/app and just use launcherpro. It is alot faster after doing that.

O that would explain a lot. Did the default launcher make your phone lag even in other apps? Like I noticed scrolling in the market was very slow...

Please help me choose a ROM.

Well, it's been 3 weeks since I bricked my phone. Mine was 1 of those that had no recovery mode so I had to send it in to get repaired. As I live abroad, the turn around time was a very LONG 3 weeks. Anyway, browsing the development section I see a lot of the devs have gone into over drive. There are SO MANY Rom's to choose from that frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed at which to choose.
Bionix Final
Bionix Fusion 1.1
Froyo JPA Macnut
Froyo JPO Axura
AOSPish 1.4
MasterRom Final
Then there are all the kernels as well as the zmod4 mod. I mean wtf! lol!!
I was running Bionix 1.7 with Voodoo and it was unbelievably smooth and fast. Now I just don't even know where to start.
In your opinions , what combo would be the fastest, most stable, smoothest and closest one of all of those to Bionix 1.7 OC w/voodoo?

Wow, this is such a loaded question since the answer is always going to be one of opinion. But, since I have one of those, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth.
My phone was also bricked by the OTA. However, I was able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. Knowing I could do this gave me the confidence to try the Bionix 1.x versions (pre Final). When Fusion came out, I went to it and am very happy that I did. In my opinion, it is what Samsung should have release in the first place. (Samsung should really consider engaging this team - or other developers who are spending a lot of time tweaking the ROMs - as consultants on their future releases). So, to answer your question:
* They (both flavors of Bionix) are very stable
* Doesn't require a lag fix.
So, I'm pretty happy. The main difference (as I understand it) between Bionix Final and Fusion is whether you have all of the Samsung stuff included. Fusion doesn't include Touchwiz. I'm a Launcher Pro person, so Fusion is a better choice for me.
Now, regarding the Froyo builds. Depends on what you want to do with your phone. I view those builds as "bleeding edge." So, I want them to be around a little longer before I go that route. But that's just me.
Good luck.

It all depends on your personal preference.
If you are afraid to brick your new replacement and wait another 3 weeks I'd suggest going with Bionix Final stock kernel option, if you feel adventurous go with Bionix Fusion with non-stock kernel. I would, personally, wait for a stable Froyo ROM, current ROM's lack GPS drivers due to unavailability of the source from Samsung, but as soon as an official leak shows up or OTA roll out, I am pretty sure there will be a stable Froyo builds to choose from.
In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Fusion JAC kernel, it smooths the phone to a degree I don't even see what stock OTA Froyo could bring to the table except Adobe Flash support. My understanding in the delays associated with Froyo release is the JIT (just in time compiler) hasn't been optimized for Hummingbird CPU, and Samsung is working on the optimization.

I recommend Bionix Fusion 1.1 with Project Core kernal 1Ghz. Its very stable, very fast and smooth and good battery life. There is also a Project Core 1.2 Ghz kernel but that one ran my cpu kinda hot with continuous use and I flashed down to the 1Ghz kernel. Not to mention Team Whiskey has put a lot of effort into making this rom as usable as possible. Far as that goes, every rom development team on here has lol. Thats my recommendation though.

That's not even a reasonable list of options. All froyo ROMS are not stable. And for anyone who thinks these froyo ROMs are sUpEr cOoL aWeSoMe, stable means everything works, and everything does not work currently on any froyo ROMs. So first thing you'd have to decide is if you want a ROM with all the features, personally, I don't get why people settle for Froyo minus the GPS. JIT isn't even functioning, so what are you really getting out of froyo at the time being? Just to say you have it? There really aren't any life changing factors comparing froyo vibrant roms to bionix 1.1.
I myself have a new vibrant, and am running a rooted JI6 OTA, just rooted for adfree and tether mainly, along with the OCLF just for ****s n giggles. The OCLF really only seems to speed up certain small things, like cache cleaning/app uninstalls/etc. Ive ran every 2.1 ROM on a vibrant and there's really no significant changes in speed, same linpack, same quadrant (even though it means nothing). My suggestion is bionix 1.1 if you really wanna try something new, but it won't change your life, just satisfy your need for change.

Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/ project core v1 @ 1.2 if your phone can handle it. I have flashed just about every rom that has been released including the froyo roms and to me, this is by far the best rom / kernel combo.

JIT in the newer Froyo builds is working.. what are you talking about? Everything works with the exception of GPS. The only issue that you may encounter is GPS and battery life complaints (results may vary) and the occasional data drop problem.

Acutally flash one of those ROM's before saying things don't work or they aren't stable..
They are stable, JIT DOES work, etc.

I've had great performance with Bionix Fusion using the Core v1 kernal (over clocked to 1.2). I threw the OCLF on top of it, but everything already ran great without it.

Things aren't wrong with stable ROMs. It's a port. A port is a port. Fact is when official froyo made for our MODEL of galaxy s, these froyo sources will be dropped. The 2.1 roms for us are built on a stable base built for our phones. They're just facts. Not discrediting any work done. If my friend asked a recommendation, I certainly wouldn't recommend an experimental ROM with dysfunctional features, and that's what this thread is about.

I have to agree/disagree with you. Even though 2.2 ROMs are ports, they are still very very good. And if you can live w/o the GPS.. Well, go with one of them
If you can't live w/o a GPS, then go with Master Rom or Bionix Fusion

Fusion with the Core kernel is awesome for me. 1.2GHz without increased voltage is nice. This is my first android device and I really like Launcher Pro.

You seem to have a very different definition of the word "stable" compared to most people. IMO, "stable" means not rebooting or force closing randomly. What you describe is "not fully featured."

I've used it, it's pointless to argue. We're talking about milliseconds here. If you reopen and close a random app 10x. Each of our setups would hesitate on a few of them. I'm satisfied with speed on this thing. I'm more focused on new features. And your opinion is wrong, the gps and apparently data is not stable at all or at all times. Gps would be a component of the rom, which in turn makes the rom experimental. Its just made well enough to use daily.

Gentlemen, thanks for all of the replies. It's very much appreciated.
I am going to switch between a Froyo version and Bionix Fusion. I have absolutely no use for GPS where I'm located, never even used it once. So I'm going to give Froyo a try to see what it's like. Then in all honesty, unless it's unbelievable... I see myself going to Bionix Fusion as it's the most recommended here.
No matter which I eventually end up with, I think I'll be keeping it at 1Ghz. No OC for me until I run some serious tests. My OCing experience with computers tells me that OCing a unit without any additional cooling and having it sealed in a casing that must be close to as warm as hell, is a seriously bad idea. Even without extra juice, I can only see more harm coming from that than any actual real world benefits. But I'll know for sure after I see what the temp variations are like. (Anyone care to share their experience with that?)
Again, thank you all for the suggestions.

Why is there no love for AOSPish 1.4? Lol I really love that rom with JACS oc/uv kernel. Its an awesome rom if u want to go for a more stock android look. Either way u cant really go wrong with any of these roms. Developers are bustin their butts to constantly improve them. I think u should just try a few out and see what works best for u! Good luck

Hmmmmmmm Roms
Like most of the people who already posted I think people are getting way myopic about what is better yadida..........
My experience has been the one thing that never really gets resolved 100% is the GPS, and that is not that important to me
The Froyo's
The Axura's
The Bionix's
Eugenes Roms
Master's roms
All of the above are fantastic in their own right. The Better question is "what do i really need and want" then look at the roms and "back engineer" you needs and wants to the rom that most matches that criteria. What i see is this over active need to have the fastest most newest rom.... ok.......... so, that is like having a Massaretti in commuter traffic... you cannot utilize the power.... so look to your needs and wants and find a balanced rom thatfits that

Very well said and great analogy. Don't forget there are tons of people who want a Ferrari or Lambo just for the wow factor while in traffic. Most custom roms give you that wow compared to stock.

Which is the best rom for me?

So i just found out how easy it is to change the custom rom. right now im on some 2.2 rom.
what is the big difference in 2.2.
also i heard the 2.1 roms have better batterylife and overclocking.
the 2.2 cant and there still buggy right?
so what is your guys opinions?

Everyone is going to have a different opinion. I have tried three of them and I like baked snacks with ultimate kernel. The only thing bad about that one is you will get no support here.
The other popular ones are Syndicate and Epic Experience.

Agree. It stinks and not sure about how many future updates it will have, but baked snack by far has the best battery life for me too. Unfortunately, my CPU doesnt like the ultimate kernel, but it runs fantastic with step2.

The best rom is easily which ever one is the most customizable. If you are going to use something like LauncherPro then it's all about which notification bar you prefer.

I started off with Epic Experience, then moved onto Baked Snack (gasp! #noban)..loved the speed of Baked Snack, but hated the theme and didn't want to investigate another.. (I just really love the stock look) and then switched to Syndicate (IMHO the best).
YMMV with Roms, just try a few and see which one is best for you with trial and error.

best combo I've ever used is backed snack 1.6 w/ ultimate. unfortunantely, there isn't much support. I've had to create my own post in the general section to ask a few questions concerning some of the things I've been experiencing.
also, syndicate and xtreme are great but I hvent gotten the best battery life with them.
as for 2.2 froyo, I'm just going to wait until I recieve the ota and then test out the custom builds.
Sent through the Matrix

I use Syndicate/Extreme. I've improved my battery life to something similar to baked snack by using a combination of setcpu (conservative scaling) and advanced task killer (auto kill on screen off). I unplug around 7 in the morning, and after a day of moderate usage I'm still at around 30-40% by the time I plug it in at ~10 pm. Good enough for me!
Oh, and I've tried the Froyo leaks, not stable enough for me...

Most stable rom to flash? (Also am a horrible newbie)

I love my epic but am terrified of bricking my phone. 2.1 is incredibly stable and was wondering if there was a 2.2 rom that someone like me could flash that was also extremly stable. I dont want to lose my epic , however I am kinda tired waiting. P.S yes I really people have asked this before however maybe things have changed ad one rom has become better than others. I am new and kinda scared to be honest, so please play nice

I like the Frankestein ROM because it is a blank slate.

Nebula rom is running as smooth as Cm6 for me right now doesn't show on quadrant but i can feel it and it is very stable.
And im loosing about 2% battery every hour.

I'm running nebula 1.0.7 and its silky smooth. Not one force close.

Here's another vote to Nebula 1.0.7. It runs incredibly smooth, quick, and stable. Been running Nebula for a few weeks without a hitch.

I've tried all the roms out here on xda, and Nothing so far comes close to Nebula ROM. I was running Nebula 1.0.6 since it was out on 1/2/2011 and no issues other then having a corrupted file system due to using the 3 button reboot. (don't use it ...there is a good chance it will mess up your phone, just not sure why it does it)
Yesterday right before going to Nebula 1.0.7, I've flashed all the different ROMS out to see how they are. After a bunch of testing I've decided to stay with Nebula.
All I can say is perfect! Its so smooth and fast that as soon as you boot up you notice the difference right away. I know Qudrant scores and other bench scores dont mean much but I've gotten my highest when using Nebula which was almost 1800 on Quarant and 1165/2686 Smartbench 2010. I've seen others get higher using other ROMS out there but for me it never felt as smooth/fast and responsive as Nebula ROM.

I too was scared and decided to go with the one that answers the most questions in a positive manner, in English (meaning I can understand, not literally) and have had great success with Midnight and TrulyEpic Rebirth.
These are smooth, stable, quick, great battery, allow you to add on the things
you want or miss, with links to add-ons, as well as you can theme them (that was my next big step).
So if you are on cw3, be sure to make a backup, you can flash back to that, then feel free to try them, see if you like layout and use. You can always go back if you make a backup then restore. Otherwise if you don't, its back to step 1.
Also, do you read Android Central - there is a lot of good info over there, a lot is in less techie terms (meaning English) with easy to understand directions.
Everyone starts somewhere, its building a comfort with someone to help just in case

I'm currently on Viper Rom (4.0.3 I think) with the Nexus S boot animation and a the DK28 Gingerbread Theme.
I've tried Supernova, Bonsai and stock DK28. I've found them all to be just as "stable" as 2.1. It's looking like I'll be trying Nebula next, given the support here. Great thing is, it takes about 10 minutes to switch between them if you want to try something different.
Lots of good devs, lots of good ROMs. Try them all.

Quantum has been very stable for me. I like the 'stock' and functional feel of Quantum (and Nebula). Can't go wrong with either of them.
Scored 1188/2697 using SmartBench.

thanks to DEVs for all the good ROMs.

I'll give a vote for my rom. Its a simple dk28 based rom. I just stripped a bunch of garbage from it, added a couple apps (that will probably eventually go away), added my aosp dvm, and changed from tw to a lighter launcher zeam.
Its not themed as themes can be heavy and slow, and introduce bugs. Try it. I can promise you it runs as fast if not faster than any of the main ones out there.

My review using bionix from Team Wiskey

This is the second time I flash my Vibrant with a ROM from TW's I used nero v3 for about 3 days before I killed my phone trying to flash the JL5 file. Since I'm a noob on this I started reading users comments and rules on flashing. So I went on the hunt for a good stable ROM for my phone since the stock 2.1 is kind of crappy and laggy. After two days. Searching on XDA I came across another Team Wiskey ROM from the bionix series (Bionix v 1.3.1). This ROM is way more stable than Nero, everything works great, no problems with connection or apps, and even though im not using Voodoo the benchmarks are really good at 1400. I still have a lot to learn in flashing and modifications for this kind of phones I'm just glad that this forum is well equipped with information.
Some pics of how the phone looks after I get the necessary permission to post them

suggestion, try not to include your personal life into this.
You need more info than just its stable and high quadrant scores.
This wouldn't be considered more than a peronsal experience.
Hope you make a better more organized one.
Also try doing it on newer roms
Bionix v is pretty old.

Thanks for the advice man. Will try the new ones once I get more info and practice

No problem, give things like... Battery life (make sure you say if your using it light, moderate, or heavy) how the theme looks, how fast it is, any FC's or any problems at all you experienced, and i wouldn't rely on Quadrant.
Most importantly, at the top of every review put "THIS IS A PERSONAL EXPERIENCED-ROM AND EXPERIENCES WILL DIFFER" or something or when you say you got like 60 hours of battery and others get 16 hours... everyone's going to be real pissed at you.
I started a similar thing a month ago, text/video reviews, soon i got hooked into a rom and couldn't move on, so the thread went dead, and i kept the rom, being a reviewer is hard. Everytime a new ROm is out, you must review it, every update etc.

Very good tomorrow I'll post a full review of this rom, I'll PM u to let u know when I post it.

What are the major differences with Nero vs Bionix V? I'm currently running Bionix V (w/ TW) and its awesome minus the battery life. Here are my list of issues:
- Sometimes the wifi antenna doesnt like to turn on from the notification bar. Have to manually go to settings. 4 out of 10 times.
- Sometimes when using wifi, phone call quality is horrible. Rare though but does happen only when i receive calls. RARELY though....
- Launcher Pro appears frozen at boot. Have to open task manager and restart Launcher Pro. Dont think its a the rom though.... Happens everytime.
But an awesome ROM! One question I have for you all...... Any other TW based roms out there that are anywhere close to as smooth as Bionix V worth trying? Thanx!
