The only thing keeping me from flashing all these new roms is the ext4 requirement -_-
Why doesn't anyonebuild a rom with rfs? I can't wait for schizopunk to get EE updated to eb13. I think he's the only dev that still supports rfs. Luckily his roms are always stable
I wish I knew how to write/alter code

I'm still using RFS.
Running Daemon's dodex, Stock EB13 ROM. Installed Genocide kernel 0.3a to fix the camera issues. Custom boot and custom battery icon.
If you cared to know what I had anyway. Personally, I prefer the piecemeal method of putting my phone together instead of simply installing a new ROM. I wish we had a kitchen like joeykrim created for the Moment.

Actually, that was the exact kindof respone I was looking for...lol
I like the piecemeal too, but there's only like 3 thins that I can flash. Everything else is cwm 3 :/
I'm running stock eb13 wih the odin flashable fix for the camera
How's genocide? I'm wary of dual-support kernals. I feel like...it won't be fully utilized or something lol

why dont you want to use ext4?
Also running RFS. I'm running stock except for the camera fix kernel. Tried Genocide but didn't like it. Syndicaterom looks interesting but it's not clear whether it will run on RFS.
EXT 4 is sooo much faster. it adds 400+ in quadrant on top of any rom you are using. thats if you are a numbers guy. but you will feel how much faster ext 4 does everything. the frozen rom is AMAZING 2400+ quadrant. the phone is done booting before the boot ani is done thats how much faster this phone is with those mods.

ext 4 is what is supported by google. thats why the devs felt the need to change it. also the cm3 is the gingerbread recovery. so which also tells you that the newer phones have that file system. also if you did mess uo something then you just odin and it only flashes the stock file system. in my previous comment when i was saying quadrant numbers i said thats if your a numbers guy. but you will feel in actual use of how much faster ext 4 is. there is a reason that only ext 4 is being supported by the devs. and ee really that guy is gay. this frozen rom is AMAZING none the less. read the rom thread you will see why.

Seriously though, did you try launcher pro or adw or any other launcher yet? Get a task killer, estrongs is the one I use. Use it. Move all apps that don't have a widget to the sd card.. custom roms IMO are still too buggy..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

not CM7,NOT miui,i just need a great 2.3 kernel! Just use for JVS/JVT and so on!
the Talon kernel is good ,but not great ,its color is not good enough,even use by voodoo control,and the battery life is a lit short.
i dont care about the GPS,i just want a more smooth kernel.
---------------------------------------
I can give you two kernels,you can try them.
Explain：
1.GalaxianEE_JVS.tar is i9000's kernel,but you can try it ,just no sound,the other function is ok（not conside GPS）.
2.lidroid kernel 1.6 is vibrant's kernel,you can try it,it's a good kernel,but just have 329 RAM.
3. you can use oldin to manage these two kernel. they can be used by 2.34 JVQ/JVS/JVT, just try!
my english is bad, i wish all of you can understand what i said.sorry

1. Its a kernel from a firmware and base that was not meant for our phones.
2. No kernel is perfect, even if it was made by Samsung themselves.
3. Android kernels are Linux kernels, can only be compiled in Linux and sometimes Mac, never in Windows.
4. Kernel deving can sometimes be hard and frustrating, especially if it was ported from another device. Sometimes the drivers and modules don't work right when they are compiled, causing less than great battery life and some errors. It happens. Its just another side effect when dealing with ports from other phones.

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

Oh then defiantly go with MIUI or cm7. My builds orientation doesn't work yet. Sadly it isn't possible to install custom kernals.
Honestly, Galnet MIUI 2.2.10 has absolutely the best battery life I've seen for the D2. I've heard that one other--the name of which escapes me at the moment--is comparable on that, but Galnet and other versions of MIUI that I've used beat out CM7 on the battery front. I usually have about 60-70% charge left at the end of every day.
As far as everything else, CM7 and MIUI are both great, very customizable, and none of the crap bloatware from VZ.
