Bionix 1.3.1 with 1.4 overclock. Battery life is awesome.

Sweet Honey 2.5 with Overstock Kernel 1.5.....fast, smooth, without a lagfix, and without voodoo.

ROM
I have been loyal to Team Whiskey for a couple of months running the various releases of Bionix-v , just flashed Trigger 2.7.2 a few days ago, running overstock 1.5, and WOW! Speed, battery, = Very Happy!

Axura with Categorically Worthless (gonna be trying tiger's blood) currently get ~20 hours battery life, not to mention the rom is smooth fast and completely stable now. highly recommended anyone to try Axura

i9000 2.2.1 JS7 with Overstock 1.4 (Voodoo "Lagfix" disabled)
Um, it's excellent.. not themed, looks great, runs great.

Greatest ever was Ginger Clone R2 hands down for me stock. Currently running i9000 Criskelo ROM V72 with Dead horse 2.2.1 OC'd to the tune 1.2 ghz. Criskelo is amazing. Gotta love that Arc launcher. I really like the theme he has running as well. Sweet honey is also a very close third.

Atriarc lg v2 with overstock 1.5. For me it has the best battery life and I tried all except cm7 and double rainbow. This is also the fastest and smoothest imo. And voodoo is disabled, with no lag at all.

Bionix 1.3.1

i constantly flash new roms whenever they come out. Just flashed triggerV2.8

I've tried all the 2.2 ROMs, and had issues with all of them except for Bionix-v. Nothing major with the others, but there were little things that wouldn't work on my phone; i.e. Trigger - calendar, AXURA - call blocker, etc.
I'm also running the stock kernel w/ voodoo and it seems to give the best battery life for me. OverStock was good, Tiger Blood was awesome (better w/ OC), but my phone was really unstable.
For day in, day out use; and my phone running smooth, it's Bionix-v 1.3.1 with the stock voodoo kernel for me.

What is the best kernel for CM7 based ROMs? Opinions welcome...

Subject asks it all...., but please explain reason.

All I know is that I can only hit about [email protected] 1GHz on Quadrant.... CM7 2.3.3 ... not sure if its this EVO or what but my white one always hit 1250 on stock ROM stock stock... It hit 1550 on CM6 final. I'm not sure if its the ROM because I don't have that phone for comparison.. (stolen)...
My 3G speeds are also very slow.. sorry if off topic. Id like to know if a different kernel would help the Quadrant score.

Ok explain to me how your rant about quadrant has anything to do with the op' s question? Besides quadrant means nothing Imho . And the new quadrant will give low numbers.
I have tried just about every kernel around and
SavageZen ranks up there pretty high .
stock cm7 is a close 2nd for me and my phone .
SavageZen has sbc built in just a heads up .
from my phone duh

SavagedZen by FAR is the best kernel. The battery life I had with the SZ kernels on CM7 was unreal.
And SBC dangers are a myth. Stop freaking out about that.

I have to say SavagedZen.
Oh and there's a thread that has no-SBC versions floating around here somewhere.

Savagezen cfs is what my phone agrees with. your options are stock, savagezen, and tiamat. I would try different ones and see what works for you. Remember to give a kernel a day or two to settle in
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

In my opinion the best CM7 kernel is the CM7 kernel

Savaged zen... no question. The SBC thing does make me worry, though (and 0.2.1 doesn't have a no-SBC version).

What rom are you currently using? [May 2011]

I know there is already a thread for this but it's getting old and I thought a refresher would be nice for people torn between what rom to run. I'm still running. Trigger 2.8 with overstock and have no idea where to go next.

Test driving the new JVH right now. Not too bad and it fixes some of the JVB fc's.

Trigger 3.2. First 2.2 custom rom I'm happy with.

Bionix NextGen w/ Bali 1.8.3
Fast, slick, and long lasting

Still using bionix 1.3.1 lol

Bi-Winning. Test drive Bali.

trigger rom and overstock kernel. so clean, smooth, reliable. and soooo good on battery.
I dont think I'll switch until, and this is a big if for being so far, but i dont think I'll change until SGSII for US comes out. I'm that happy with it

hows the bali kernel?

little slower than overstock, but battery life last longer. At least my phone does not feel like it has a fever lolz.

Using the Toxic Sexy WP7 ROM, pretty fast I say

Simply galaxy 2.7.2 god I love this rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

im using Toxic "Sexy" 7 and overstock 2.4.1 oc'd to 1.2.. runs fast as hell, gps is spot on i havent had the need for a gps flash fix. It also has some badass launchers like wp7..its sick..the browser speed on this rom is blazing fast!

Best Rom These Days

I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.

Project v with bali kernal. I've pretty much used every combo non gingerbread and i love it! QUOTE=shark1217;15212436]I am still running my Bionix rom from March. Looking to install something new. What are the current "best" daily drivers? Looking for battery life and speed.[/QUOTE]

I second Project V, not with Bali, but with Super Dragonmodz. This combo works best for me.

I 3rd Project V but I use Bullet kernel
Project-V 6-5-11

There really is no current best daily rom its all in preferences! For example i love cm7 as i use it as a daily driver but some would say no to that rom as a daily so its all up to preferences

Get on that Simply Honey 2.3.4 and stream some Netflix!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

If u wanna stick to froyo, i recommend simply galaxy 2.8. Using it with the bullet kernel and i get 24+ hours with decent usage. Just ordered myself a momax 2700mah battery in white(looks pretty sexy). So will prolly try out some more GB roms. Simple honey 3.8(3.9 update this weekend) and revolution are great roms to try out for sure

I know what I would *not* recommend. I wouldn't recommend CM7 with KB5 modem and NEO 10 kernal. Restart galore!!!!

Project V and bali x 1.1. Awesome battery life and speed
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X1.1

I recently flashed EDT's bi winning V3. Its been unbelievable for me. Project V just didn't like my phone. Even after a fresh Odin. Biwinning has been the cats pajamas. Buttery smooth and stupid fast.
Bi-winning V3

project v/bali 1.8.7
like the look/snappiness. battery is decent with moderate usage.so far, favorite rom.

Best rom;
It's a matter of opinion and personal taste, i've flashed basically every single rom on the vibrant new and old, the most reliable and stable i've found is Trigger( Anything, 3.2 is the bee's knees) but I am also really digging Toxic Muzic and Malice V3 all over again as well, if you want ginger, Asgard is Phenomenal (I like it so much better than CM7 and Miui is cool, but Asgard owns all) Dan Brutal recently released a new ginger rom, it's pretty amazing Brutal Honey ( Definitely recommend it) but yeah, you want a daily driver, Anything EDT or of course Team Whiskey, but Team Toxic is pretty amazing to.
Enjoy either way
(BTW Project V is pretty awesome( And it is Roman's( Trigger, replacement) Definitely give it a flash!

With the exception of cm7, which ran smooth but I got too many rebooted and sleeps of death, I'd say most of the gingerbread roms are garbage. My favorite Tom so far is bi-winning 3.0
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

if u need gps go with SGSII hybrid it runs great and has great speed and battery life if not i suggest cm7 with neo10 and kb5 modem battery life and speed is great

Project V is the best ROM I've ever used. It's so good that I don't even want to flash a kernel in fear that it will mess up its greatness.

Try RevolutionRom, it is lagless, as fast as CM7, and I can get 40+ hours of battery with OC.

After trying a few GB roms like Simply Honey, CM7, and MIUI, I'm back to Bionix 1.3.2 with Bali. I loved MIUI but the batt life was atrocious so I'm back to Bionix.

CM7
I love CM7 it's fast and beautiful. Just no GPS.

I second Trigger. The mouse reliable ROM for me so far. And Bali kernel with it.
