I'm guessing that a good handful of us enjoy using our Vibe's in stock config, and only wish for "good" performance with less instance of lags, burps etc. We drool over the idea of rooting, applying OCLF and such things, but don't want to risk a blowout! IE, "Add another brick to the pile".
Myself, I'm choosing to wait for the Froyo update - before committing to a root/lag fix attempt.
Can we have sum input on what might be anticipated with the 2.2 update a far as performance for the Vibe? Has NE1 managed to put Froyo on a stock Vibrant - if so, I venture that an "In House" eval would be appreciated by many
Running froyo right now. There was just an unofficial leak of the tmo froyo for our vibes, and the fixes are being ported to existing roms, and being used as source for new builds as well. Its here, and its frozen goodness. A little research (ok maybe not a little, know what youre doing before you do it, make sure you can get into recovery and dl mode, and read read read) before you flash, and soft bricks can be either avoided or easily recovered from. Check out the Vibrant Android Dev forum here at xda to see your icy opions. I prefer Eugene's Macnut myself, there are a couple of other flavors currently that are nice in their own ways, but you gotta try em to find out.
Performance wise, the stock tmo froyo leak itself is faster and smoother than eclair running oc with any lag fix in my experience. The custom froyo roms (macnut and such) are even faster, with no lag fixes applied or existing ones disabled.

I used to be all about rooting. Had a Hero when it first came out for Sprint. Loved flashing new ROMs and what not. Had CM6 on it before I jumped ship to T-Mobile and the Vibrant. I had rooted but always ended up going back to stock ROM because I like the way it looks and with launcherpro it seems to run better than Touchwiz. Ive yet to find a ROM on here that I really like. I Odined back to stock for the JI6 and Have been running it ever since.
I will probably re-root when the official 2.2 comes out but Im playing the waiting game on these leaked ROMs.
As far as the leaked 2.2 roms go, I'd have to say that I am currently running onyx by teamwhiskey, and it is awesome! It has a lot of fixes but still feels very much like stock.
You should give that a try, oh and don't worry about bricking your phone, odin is your friend and the anti-bricker!

Oynx is fugly, and JK2 is a bit too buggy and unrefined in general. It's OK if you want to try it but you'll probably go back to the smoothness of JI6. Apps install better with FroYo but the phone lags badly with any launcher for some reason. I'm waiting for the official release. I also got some odd "No Internet Connection" errors but that might be my fault.

Everyone's experience is different, and everyone's tastes are different too.
So far, it's been a smooth sailing with Onyx for me after SD_Fix.zip was applied.
FROYO goodness on my Vibrant, loving it!

Macnut R10, not entirely jk2 based but drivers to fix the gps and data issues ere ported over, not sure what else was, is not buggy at all. Running the zeam launcher, no lag. Its honestly the most stable froyo out right now, ive tried them all. Earlier ones were definitely buggy, but the new leaked files fixed all that on my phone.

Try the ASOP ROM from Anderdroid yet? I'm running that one and it's very smooth and responsive. It looks very clean in my opinion.

i take it you don't use wifi calling then? in macnut r10, wifi calling gets stuck at enabling (which is one of the reported problems in that thread).
OP: I have the ODIN froyo running on my vibrant right now. It's nice and smooth for me (and will be for you too if you haven't been running lagfixes in 2.1). I get nice battery, and nice reception. a plus for me, is i can turn off data (since i don't have a data plan) and not use battery constantly trying to communicate with 3g/edge.
The only thing i notice on 2.2, is the occasional lag. but that's about it.
Is there a limitation when installing apps? When I was trying ROM's last night and installed apps, it seemed like I was limited to about 3 app download/install at a time?

Nope, I do not use wifi calling. Seeing how that is new to the phone, I woud expect it to be buggy. The next release from Eugene shoud be based on jk2, might fix that problem. We can't really expect the new fuctions from tmo to be perfect until we get an official release.

I have been trying to figure that out myself... Yesterday (or should i say Saturday) dk28 was speculated as an RC... Then I hear its the final version of froyo... I too am very confused.. Seems to be a lot of people with a lot of problems but who knows...
No way this is final.

Considering its on Google servers and an OTA we know its at least an RC...as for whether its a final or not depends on Sprint...
In my opinion this rom is stable enough to release...its true its not 100% perfect but sprint isn't looking for 100% perfect..it just has to be decent enough...
I'm sure most of the problems were caused by people not wiping or restoring their old data which conflicts...thats not to say that there is no bugs of course...
I heard a rumor by a credible source (unless he was just running interference) that dk28 was never going to be released and the final was going to be dl07 which is tomorrow

noobnl had posted that DL03 was supposed to be originally, but that may have changed. I also think dk28 was a slip and wasn't intended to go live even for test units.
I'm not sure but honestly froyo has given me very few problems.
The only few I've countered is with random services popping up and samsung widgets disappearing.
I've had a few checkers in the browser, but very rarely.
Overall, its dk28. It seemed ready and it is for the most part, but I had expect an update soon.

Hi all. Take a look at the following link. It will take you to the Sprint community forum where admin has said that Sprint has not released the update. I cannot post a link as I am a new member, so you will have to remove the spaces within the url:

No way is DK28 a final RC. It left my GPS in zero condition, the Gallery crashed while UL some pics to Facebook necessitating a battery removal to reboot. There were no user problems here as I flashed a tar file.
That makes me wonder if froyo had a more negative effect on rooted or pre peviously rooted users. I have never rooted and i updated from the stock. The problems I've had are very little.

Of my year and a half with android phones, this is the biggest piece of crap update I've ever seen. I didn't make it 24 hours before the lag started really making me mad. I went back to di18 then nandroid restore. I'm going to wait awhile and see what happens. Maybe.
This is not the official update
The OP is correct. In multiple posts at Sprint's own user forum yesterday, the Sprint admin clearly denied that there has been an official update.
I posted links to those Sprint statments on multiple threads here, but few seem to pay attention. The DK28 downloads we are seeing are a leak, not an official release.
Conspiracy theory time: we're all public RC testers. Sprint allowed that file to be put on Google's servers knowing that somebody here would find it, and knowing that we here will have our phones in all range of possible configurations - from stock to stock/rooted to fully customized. They may not get very scientific data from our experience but they'd get a lot of anecdotal data to add to whatever data they've collected themselves through their own testing.
If this is a RC, they may have thought all of the bugs were worked out and are now seeing some new ones that they didn't know about. We've all tried various things before to get our GPS to work and maybe something we've done is responsible for breaking it completely in DK28... and that's something they might not have known would happen.
Other than the GPS death, though, I've had no problems with DK28. After the painful process of reverting to DI18, re-updating and then restoring all my apps and settings, everything now works (except MediaHub, which is actually a blessing) and the UI is smooth and fast for me.
My gps Is working flawlessly, snag had since the moment I flashed dk28 maybe it is the rom you are using.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I don't believe dk28 is final myself. It just doesn't perform as good as di18. The only improvement for me has been working GPS. Flash is not a big deal to me. Games like Asphalt are jittery and glitchy. The UI is a bit laggy and jittery as well. These are issues that should have been resolved even in a RC. As it stands now, if this is the final release, I'm gonna roll back to a custom 2.1 ROM and wait for an improved version of Froyo(or Gingerbread lol)
Its not the final. Wish people would stop claiming that it is and confusing new XDA members. There are too many problems with DK28 and DI18 was too stable and polished a release for samsung to truly consider this an upgrade.
Yay. I can confirm the following bugs after using OTA ED01 for a couple hours:
1) 50% time w/o signal bug still there. Still need airplane toggle after boot.
2) Browser scrolling choppy as ever.
3) Pop email client still snaps to top of list after reading each email.
4) battery issues / wakelock needs more testing
Now then, we know Samsung and VZW were not working on fixing any bugs in the last several months that they have been sitting on this code. All bugs from froyo leaks 2.5 months ago are still in there.
Seems to me there was 0 priority put on this update, since it was delivered extremely late and still chock full of bugs. My assessment is Samsung is way understaffed AND integrating bing caused some negative interactions between the companies involved. I won't buy another Samsung... and probably should move off of VZW.

We'll have to see how it goes fellow chicagoland resident. I odin'd and ota'd to get the new radio and frameworks and files were compared lastnight and there is some differences in the frameworks between EC01 and ED01 so I'm gonna run themeless until I have time to port my theme over to the new frameworks. Initial impression I have is my data speeds are a little higher and more constant. But I'll give it a go traveling about the city today.
Oh, @OP the tws bug is not limited to our device. It's a froyo thing that many devices suffer from. Google it.
good day.
Everything looks good here... Besides battery life. I just did the ota at 9:30 this morning after about an hour **** has drained 30%. Oh well. I was using heavily, im gonna flash the debloated one and wipe bstats and what not to see if I get some improvement.

My wife and I have this phone. I am running EB01 Superclean and I just odin'd her phone to stock last night and upgraded to OTA ED01. So far, no time without signal bug, browser does not seem choppy, no wakelocks so far. Maybe you should odin to stock and start fresh if you have not done so already. I think that this can fix a lot of issues. No doubt that after brief testing my Superclean w/ -100 imnuts kernel is kicking the snot out of a stock ED01 froyo so far. But I always give it a week for the battery to calibrate and settle so I will report back.
i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.

Headache after headache after headache since I got the Froyo OTA.
Lots of freezes causing me to pull the battery several times a day. Also the battery power drains so quick I can't even come up with a comparison. Then don't get me started the 3G going down all the time...this is f***ing ridiculous. I did root it but I have seen no change. I have even disabled the bloatware...anyone have any suggestions for me.
Much thanks in advance,
Doc
You can try odining back to DL09 or whatever, re-update OTA, and see if the problem happens again...
If not, I would just leave it stock and return it to verizon with the 1 year warranty
Ive had the same issue! I rerooted and flashed evil fascination and I am not having hardly any problems. Ive had a few forcecloses but nothing like what came with stock froyo
My girlfriend is having the same issue after i MADE her update to the OTA 2.2. Text messages dont get sent and it is very laggy. The whole phone is too slow to use so i plan on flashing a custom rom or going back to 2.1 with odin. What roms are pretty similar to stock that maintain that whole touchwiz feel?
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App
Did you perform a factory reset? That seemed to fix a few problems.
For starters, this is common. The stock Froyo update screwed a lot of people up. Next, simply rooting it doesn't *FIX* anything, all it does is give you the ability to run Apps as Administrator, giving you more power/control. So, you rooted it, that wasn't going to fix your issues. Flash a custom ROM. I personally recommend the Community ROM. If after flashing a different ROM, after wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache, and user data, etc. you still encounter the same issues, then yes, I'd exchange it.

About the same time as the ota froyo was released, verizon had a bunch of 3g & 4g data issues on their network (perhaps it was shortly thereafter).
Otherwise, I see as many posts about the surprisingly good performance of the current stock rom as I see reports of issues.
No offence to the op, but we have no idea how these rooted phones have been messed with before the complaints are conveyed...
So I agree with the suggestion to odin back to a stock pit/modem/kernel/rom and let the ota process repeat from a clean start. From that result, flash a solid voodoo kernel, enable lag fix, pick your favorite rom, etc...

I am currently running the ota 2.2 froyo update...only thing I have done is root and debloat and the phone is very fast! Only issue I have is google voice search force closes.
I think the update is fast... but despite what rom I use there is still intermittent gps issues, voice and data issues even on the first warranty replacement. Dropped calls in solids 4 bar territory on stock or dev roms and 3g fading un and out even after the dmu fix. All issues never had before the update.
Waiting on a call to see if I can get a better replacement option. No interest in Palm, BB or the Dinc Droid Pro or DX they want me to take as a replacement.
Out of the DInc2 Charge and TBolt which is the best options in my fellow forum friends minds. Have my own looking for outside opinions to consider depending on the options I am offered.

As far as the signal issue, I had the same thing until I replaced the stock battery cover. have yet to drop any calls and my 3g is alot better now! I am absolutely impressed with this phone since doing these little "tweaks"! O and I vote droid charge if your dead set on a replacement! Seems to have better battery and display over the other two.

Otherwise, I see as many posts about the surprisingly good performance of the current stock rom as I see reports of issues.
No offence to the op, but we have no idea how these rooted phones have been messed with before the complaints are conveyed...
So I agree with the suggestion to odin back to a stock pit/modem/kernel/rom and let the ota process repeat from a clean start. From that result, flash a solid voodoo kernel, enable lag fix, pick your favorite rom, etc...

I stated nothing about the the OP's 3G outtage, any of us who are techy-like at all or who pay attention know what that was about. I was referring to their other issues. And I agree, MANY people have great performance after updating to stock 2.2, while many others are also getting screwed up. It's just one of those things. The OP wasn't one of the lucky, so, either Odin back and try the update again, or go custom ROM.
Well I have a couple DInc2s coming next week.
Really have to send the love to all the Devs who have made the Fascinate fascinating. Just can't wait on Sammy and VZW to get the tools in the hands of the devs to make the most of these phones.
Almost went TBolt but don't want to extend the contract until there are more 4g phones out there.
Wife is excited about FFC so happy wife will be good for me
Would have preferred to stick with the Fascinate but a couple replacements later and even the great roms and kernels couldn't get it to where it should be. Here's hoping that good source drips for everyone soon.
So for free and no contract extension I'll check out HTC...

I did OTA Froyo update on a stock fascinate and my battery also began draining rapidly, about 8-10 hour life in standby I finally figured out that it was the built in facebook sync that was doing it, I had earlier turned off all syncing then noticed fb synced new events to my calendar after that so I completely removed my fb account and now its back to the ~2days of battery life with light use I had with 2.1. Not sure if this is what everyone else is experiencing with battery life problems but its worth a shot. I haven't tried putting my fb account back up to see if it happens again, I'm going to wait until I get around to rooting to do that.
I swear I had these issues with 3g data out completely. This fixed it in 3 minutes. ESN Swap to repartition data. No BS need for another phone.

Hope this helps.
Well... Been using the DInc2 for over a day now... Short time but very evident that there is a major issue post update on the Fascinate. Right back to the great download and upload speeds I had pre ed01. No ATT like dropped calls, etc.
Without voodoo quadrant scores on stock in the 1400 - 1600 range consistently.
Just a huge thanks to all our awesome Fascinate developersfor making it a great phone while I had it.
Hope the DInc2 developers are as committed and talented as this team. Right now they are working on getting perma root....

I'm flashing Sprint Lover's (3.70.651.1) back on my phone because so far every 2.3 ROM that I've flashed (on my phone) has had issues of spotty connectivity, degraded signal quality and general SMS/MMS sporadic problems.
(CM7, MikG and the Sprint push)
Is anyone getting this? Could just be my phone...

They have a new update out.
Did you update your radios to the latest?
That could resolve it.

Without being able to use a custom Kernel, I don't see any reason to go to Gingerbread. Kernels are the only thing that actually makes your phone have better battery life, ROMS are great for looking great, but for battery ill wait!
You should try Synergy. Myn has it done right. Super snappy, everything works. Check out his warm 2.2 thread in development. I miss the looks of warm 2.2, but Myn will have them on 2.3 soon enough I'm sure.
Welcome back.... fresh 3.501 with sbc kernel.
GB is for lost kids...(hansel and gretel)

It may just be your phone. I'm on the newest MikG and have had no probs and in fact have had way better signal strength and my mms is sending and recieving great. The last MikG 1.04 had a few random reboots and sense restarts but been running MikG 2.0 since it came out and no probs yet

That's misinformation, sir. Kernel's are NOT the only thing that improves battery life.
No issues on my end - Running Kings Alliance R6.2
Hardware - 003
Hboot - 2.10
Radio - 2.15.00.11.19
Pri - 1.90_003
Prl - 60679
Recovery - CW 2.6
I still run my own 3.70 based custom rom. It's doing the trick still.
3.70 still.....ehhhhh....not so much lol. I couldn't possibly go back after GB.

I'd love to try Synergy but read on Goodandevo.net that the ROM was offered by invitation only. Do you know different?

I want to get GB on my phone mainly for the ability to install the equalizer app (DSP manager) to tailor my sound. I just rooted 2.2, though so I'm going to get a feel for this first.

I'm almost positive that the 2.3 OTA doesn't have the DSP manager.
And in reply to the op... I'm still running Fresh3.5.0.1(?)
I'm waiting for custom kernels to be released before I jump to 2.3

I guess this is what I'm thinking about:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Requires GB 2.3 and appears to work on Evo.

Yup, I've tried something like 5 different gb roms, and they all had one issue or another. Thanks for this thread, it made me decide to go back to good old warm 2.2.
