as of this very instant, go with Macnut, as Master hasn't updated Axura for a while.
But I would suggest holding out for just a little bit, as Axura is going to have a huge update, and at that point, will top Macnut.

Axura is not going to ever top Macnut IMO. Eugene is too far ahead in this game for Master to one up his rom, after all Master is using Eugene's kernels.. so how could Axura be better?

It's really all about personal preference. You have to try them both to see which works better for you. I've tried both and find Axura to be more smoother... Looks are different too.
Use them for a couple days to see which you would like better.
Yes its still Eugene's kernels.
Waiting for his next update. Currently on Axura 1.0.5

Thanks guys. I'm going to try Mac now and try it out till master drops a new one. I heard master say his new build would bring more to the table, I can't remember what thread its in but its on its way.
Lets not say Eugene is ahead because of his kernels because even he says they aren't his strong point. But he is ahead, no doubt.

I agree and did not mean to sound like he was ahead because of his kernels but lets face it.. who dropped the first rom for the Vibrant? Eugene..

oh no doubt that Eugene is the most important developer for the Vibrant, and Axura wouldn't exist without his work, but Axura has definetly proven to be more smooth. And Master is set to update his ROM to the most stable Froyo our phones have seen.

I just flashed mac and it is way better than I imagined. I expected alot less given what eugene has to work with. This is a nice rom thanks for the input can't wait to flash the next master rom.

Want to flash a Froyo so bad, but no GPS is a deal breaker. Look at forums every day, waiting for Macnut to say "GPS working!".

I thought the same thing but the pros out weighs the cons. I love flash and some of the tweeks that were added. I recomend at least getting the. TW mod.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I tried both and decided to go back to Axura due to my extensive use of LauncherPro in interface design. Macnut felt too "TouchWiz" like to me... even after loading Launcher2, I still missed the flexibility of LPro...

I would say hold off a few days and see what happens with the GPS issue.

Whats the best!!! rom out now for the vibrant

I just flashed aospish jk2 v1.1 and I want to try others that are good and stable

I flashed back to JI6 and its working really well just have root on it surprisingly I dont even feel the need for a lagfix with this.Also GPS is working again but its still ****y

why there is a forum...??? because people need help....and i am seriously tired of people who try to be smart a**. Unfortunately i don't know the answer...for the best rom..but try searching in android development...
"please try to be nice to people who needs help"
thanks..

IMHO
It depends of what you want, speed, stability, latest, etc, and what your phone can handle mine can't handle overclock for example.
IMHO Eclair TeamWhisky Fusion Rom, Froyo Axura 2.0.4 Master.
I hope this help you.

haha! you said it well! I was about to say this.

Axura, and .5 should be even better once released.

You should go to the dev section and read about the different roms. They have different things that are good about each. Also different roms might work better on your phone than others. The 3 most popular seem to be Eugene, Axura and Team Whiskey(not in any order). FOr me Obsidian 4.2 with stock Kernal works the best for me. Like I said read first. One other thing I would say do is ODIN between each different Rom maker you use.

Obsidian v5 is running very smooth and fast for me, plus I love the black theme. I'd recommend it!

its all a matter of personal preference I personally like the Auxra ROM I like the looks the speed the battery life and the screen transitions! But look into the Android Development forum and read the feed back.

I do it just to keep from getting Ghosts. Its just my opinion.

Ive tried them all and I personally prefer axura for its amazing speed and battery life. The GPS works great for me too. Combined with Eugene's A14 ULF OC/UV kernel this rom flies. But be careful with the ulf kernel. I've had some pretty serious issues with converting dbdata to jfs...I would totally lose my data connection.

He was just messing with you, we have no gingerbread.

For me, it's stock JI6+JI2 modem + /data/data symlinked to /dbdata/data + root. It's fast as hell, solid as a mountain and gives me no problems at all.

i haven't flashed any of eugene's more current roms so i can't speak to those. however, i've been running the obsidian and onyx roms and they are great. but i flashed axura 2.0.4 last night and have been super impressed with it.
and really, imo, there is no reason to be flashing 2.1 roms anymore. there are great froyo roms that are fully functional, stable, and smooth.

Axura 2.2.5.6 is beast!

If you want a good stable unofficial froyo rom based on the latest leak get this rom!
Comes with 4 launchers!
Not hating on other roms this just came to mind. This is a good noon rom because it has so many options the only dangerous things is that voodoo come activated so be careful!

Everyone has their personal opinion, and I respect yours. Personally, I think pre-installed launchers that were not used are basically bloatwares. I like a clean rom to work with and install only softwares that I need.

Yea I uninstalled all of themm
Just wanted tom promote this rom since I see nero posts

I don't care for ADW so I uninstalled it with Titanium. It's not like 2 or 3 extra launchers are putting me out of space.
I didn't know there was a .6 Axura yet. I just did 2.2.5.5 and I'm loving it though.

I am really enjoying this Axura rom as well. PepperKake is my other fav rom. Axura sealed the deal for me when I noticed my GPS working better with that rom.

I promote that everyone tries all the roms because they all have their qualities. I just installed Axura 2.2.5.7 last night and all my benchmarks went up. My buddy is amazed at how fast you can navigate using this rom. I see the boot screen has not been changed lol.

Four launchers installed definitely classifies as bloatware to me. Don't need a dev to install apks for me. I prefer eugene r2 gingerclone. The rom is like 60mb smaller than any other vibrant froyo rom out now.

Some ppl have not tried all lauchers so this gives them that chance. Pick the one you like delete the others = no bloatware

i was using nero and i flashed this rom. i used it for about an hour and it was so slow i got frustrated and flashed back to nero and i am loving it. everyone will have a different experience i suppose.

I LOVED axura back when it was 2.1 then every rom started becoming themed like ginger bread I love the notification bar of that.
Can someones post a normal screen shot of axura?
Just because if this thread I'll flash axura later today.
Screen shot please!

Taste of Axura 2.2.5.7

Too many custom ROMS? read and vote

Hi, i came back for galaxy 3 dev-section and what i saw was strange i was so happy that there are SO MANY custom ROMS but when i read the threads, their all the same :-( nothing new, nothing special :-( those ROMS arent any more custom :-( there are like 5 ROMS with the SAME features but different name... why? now im asking you to reply to this thread with yes or no. is there too many "custom ROMS" i know that there is somebody that says yes (too many "custom" ROMS) and somebody that says no.

Well it's really hard to "Create" a new feature and dev's only put things together while people like marcellusbe makes the features and he can't just give it to 1 person and not someone else. But the good thing is that some Roms look better than others and they get updates faster.

I tried three custom roms InDroid, Lestatious and Kyrillos. The most advanced in graphics and functions is Lestatious but Kyrillos is more stable and speedy. InDroid is very very very UNSTABLE. I can't do nothing cuz after opening a stock app for the second time it crashes with vibration bug like a stock rom.

haven't tried lestatious but have to agree on rest. indroid is very very unstable. freezes all the time and kyrillos rocks, fastest rom i tried.

Which indroid? I used to use custom no lagfix 3.0 and it was very very very STABLE for me

I must agree with this observation, too many roms with equal functionalitys, maybe if we have just 2 ou 3 three it would be better for the 5800 community. I think there is a lack of focus, but anyway, i give credit to all rom developers, they now have the knowledge to devel a super rom all together. :-D

on the one side jae, but on the other side no, because everyone is right to present his work, but there are only 3 to 4 big developers, who brought out good Roms

based on JPM,JIT by ARMV and Fugumod OC, no OC, albeit some are DDJP2. The biggest difference is the theme, which can be changed easily.

I'm using Kyrillos's ROM. It's stable for me.

Best rom?

Hey I have a question, sorry if its been stated as I'm from the vibrant forum
I'm going to be rooting my sisters epic tonight, and was wondering what rom would be the best (she complains about battery life) so any suggestions would be great!
Thanks everyone, and again sorry if its been Asked.
Sent from my SGH-T959

I know you didn't mean to, but yes, this has been posted a billion times =P
And here is my answer: There is no "best" ROM; it depends on the User's experience. In my opinion, I like SyndicateROM Frozen the most, but there are so many others too, like midNIGHT, Bonsai4All, UrbanFury, etc. There really is no "best" ROM.
Here's another forum with the same question to give you a little more insight:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037394
Sorry if it's not really a direct answer, but then again there really is no answer.
Hope this helps!

Yeah this us to hard to answer. Its all personal opinion. Just flash them all and luck the one you like the best. They are all great so none of then will disapoint you at all
Sent From My Evo Killer!

Yeah, what they said

If I were you I would start with syndicate rom. You will get a stable rom with support if something goes wrong. Midnight is great but the Dev sold his phone and won't be on here as much to help. It is based off of Bonsai.
Bonsai is not on here anymore. They started there own site that requires you to sign up and asks for a donation every time you download. I don't mind them asking but Bonsai has gotten out of hand.
I use midnight but am going back to syndicate as soon as K0nane and the rest of ACS release the newest ROM.
I used to use Frankenstein which is based on syndicate but his ROM is too new this time for me to try it. I wait for others to work out the bugs. LOL.
Samsung Epic with Midnight for now

EC05 Stock Plus. Stock experience with tweaks and bug fixes that make stock what it should be.

Viper Synergy 5.0
Viper Synergy 5.0 on ext4 with EC05 modem. BTW, Viperteam and ACS roms are the best but I prefer Viper. Viper Synergy 5.0 would be my recommendation.

I was skeptical about trying anything other than an AOSP rom, since I like minimalistic rom, but seriously Syndicate ROM is a wonderful rom that has minimal customizations and is super fast.
tl;dr: +1 to Syndicate rom.

Far from it. But the customizations are stable, all make the ROM faster, and are minimal in terms of adjustments to looks.

Your rom is pretty perfect, man. Huge props

The one other bug that I've found that I've been meaning to tell you about (though it won't let me post in that thread) is that the phone appears to be entirely broken...
Otherwise, it's still perfect.

It's not broken, you have bad data/cache/dalvik-cache/need to Fix Permissions/need to Odin to stock EC05, wipe and reflash/need to wipe SD card and perform the previous.

As for fixing permissions, how would I do that?
As for using Odin, I tried that a long time ago and my Epic would not connect to any computers, is there another way to get stock EC05?
I believe the ROM I was using before, Truly Epic ROM, was based off DK28.

I like the ACS Syndicate ROM, I use to be on Viper but I didn't like the color scheme they used. ACS is a much easier on the eyes.

I'm really not sure... I originally flashed the ROM coming from Truly Epic ROM v1.5, going to SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0, had some troubles, so factory reset, reinstalled Syndicate, had the phone app work off and on for a day, and now it's completely stopped working.
Sorry I'm not very good at this....

Odin to stock EC05, format your SD card, redownload the ROM, wipe 3x, flash.
