Gingerbread roms

Wondering if anyone has a solid gingerbread rom out there they could recommend to me for install? Hopefully something that doesn't kill my battery too fast.. I have a vibrant and would be willing to test it out even. Let me know...thanks!

None of the Gingerbread ROM's are stable yet. They still have a lot of bugs and battery life isn't where it should be.

I downloaded Atriarc last night and it seems pretty darn stable to me. I was running the Overstock kernel without issue until this morning when my flashing addiction flared up and I decided to try the Tiger Blood kernel. That ran fine for about an hour and then started soft rebooting constantly. I just flashed back to Atriarc and all is well. I have to say I've had exchange issues with email up until this rom, none now.

Atriarc isn't a gingerbread rom.
I just installed Whitehawkx's Gingerbread beta 3. So far it seems like I can use it as a daily driver. Some small issues, of course, but overall good.

White's is better than CM7 for now, better battery life and overall more stable.

Trigger, Atriarc, SweetHoney are my favs besides CM7

CM7 is amazing if you know how to customize it.
I get 14+ hours of battery life on it, not too bad, considering I get home before that and could just charge it.
It's very snappy and oh, no touchwiz, ftmfw.
Sure, GPS doesn't work, but who cares? Mapquest that ****.
Data seems to work fine.
I dun know, but for me, it's a great ROM and it's worth it.

There is a whole cyanogenmod settings menu with a bunch of stuff. It's awesome!!!

I agree.
I'm running cm7 nightly from the 12th and after messing with it i'm pretty content. I know everyone's opinion of smooth is hugely subjective but please believe me when I say that I have mine running as smooth as the seemingly accelerated Touchwiz roms. I'm one for smooth transitions and scrolling and this so far is keeping me content.

i had the exact opposite experience. i ran cm7 for like 3 weeks with little to no problems (besides no gps and no external sd), the double rainbow lasted on my phone for less than a day due to problems with it.

Eugene's Gingerbread clone R2 final

Hi, I'm on CM7 and it's great. It's very snapy and the web brouser is the fastest of any rom I have tested. I don't see why people say the GPS does not work. It's never worked as well as it's working now. The lock on the GPS is very fast and very good. The compas works aswell but it does not point to north. There are a fiew games that FC on CM7 but most of them do work well. I would say that it is now very close to being a daily use rom and I'm running it on an I9000m with 850mh radio working perfectly. I just added flash 10.2 and it works very fast aswell.

Getting bored of my Vibrant. Still on Bionix 1.3.1

What rom is good now, I, started with eugene's then moved on to team whiskey's,, now what? :/ what's cooking in the development section for our vibrants?
What rom are you on? Please help

What kind of a kick are you on IE: you want touchwhiz or AOSP looks. I for one am on a AOSP'ish kick right now. Running Biwinning 3.0 with the SGS II theme and launcher2 from the G2. I read alot during the middle of the night so 2.2.1 is an absolute must since the capacitive buttons don't light up while turning a page or scrolling the screen. On top of that I am running the bullet 1.48 kernel and it is as smooth as butter. Last but certainly not least that kernel allows a screen off profile of 400-100 so my battery life while not in use is fantastic. I'd say figure out what you want out of the phone and test until everything clicks how you want. If a rom isn't what you want look-wise cruise through all the great themes we have and have that decide which rom to run. Options are vast as it stands now.

I recommend the MIUI 360 rom.

CM7 and MIUI roms are pretty great. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll be just fine. You can flash CM7 or MIUI over 2.2 roms by disabling voodoo first. Once that's done you can flash away. Be sure to grab a copy of the ka5 or ka7 radio/modems just in case you end up with no signal afterwards.

get your ass on CM7 before i slap you onto it.

Trust me once you try cm7 you won't look back to bionix ever again or any 221 rom.

Agreed always was about the Bionix roms until i tried bi-winning. Version 3 that was just released is a little buggy yet. But 2 has always been solid! Its nice with bullet kernel & bi-black gloss theme.

I went eugenes gingerclone, bionix 1.3.1, and now project-v with bali and Im pretty excited about it honeslty. Battery life is fantastic, speed is great. Im waiting for themes now haha
Vibrant - project-v, bali 1.8.6UV kernel.

I think I found my sweet spot at ZenDroid with Bali 1.86 UV. After all, this device is still made to be a phone, and while CM7 based roms are fun to play around with for a few days or weeks, I still need a stable rom for my daily use. But if I get bored, I always have my HD7 around to play around with before I come back the the good ole Vibrant.
On another note, this community has certainly gotten a lot more fun and better. Certainly much much better than that HD7 community (if you can call it one at all).

Bi Winning v3. Great rom! Other EDT roms are good too.

I used CM7 for about a month and it is without a doubt the best, fastest ROM on the Vibrant. However, I just switched back to BiWinning 3 and I really love having GPS and a battery that easily makes it through the day instead of fighting at every step to survive the day.

BIONIXV1.3.1.! ITS FAST. ITS STABLE. IT HAS GREAT BATTERY LIFE. IT HAS A GOOD GPS.IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS. IT HAS...... oh never mind

Try ZenDroid. I get good battery, the theme is awesome, its fast and its stable.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I have to agree with XPLANE and philliple. Since I've been using ZenDroid I haven't even been checking for new roms. It's stripped down, super fast and stable, and very aesthetically pleasing.

CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.

Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.

I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.

Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

Try again.
I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.

From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.

I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol

+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.

What ever helps you sleep at night........
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

someone sounds like a hater...
to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0

I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.

I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.

Just switched to EVO from from nexus s, what next?

I am fine with the rooting and all that, what Rom should I go with sense 3.0 wise if any thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

If you must have sense 3.0, try flashing the evolvedrom r3chargeD... I'm running it and its great, however I am also seeing a lot of people that like the new king ROM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Do you want it themed or not?
Synergy and MikG are both Sense 2.1 + 3.0. They are probably a couple of the most popular ROMs, if not the most. Quite personally, I like MikG more than Synergy. Feels faster to me, and I've been a big Mik user since I started with my Evo.
Right now I am running EVOlvedROM r3chargeD, which is based on Mik3D, which is based on the HTC Evo 3D. So it is full Sense 3.0, themed and I love it.
Kernel, I use Lithid's Freedom kernel. Aggressive-Freedom Universal.

Partition your SD card to offload some weight from the phone itself: DELETES EVERYTHING OFF OF THE CARD SO BACK IT UP.

As far as themed I like the look of stock sense and i'll check those out. how fast is that kernel and what is the safest oc? (i only have my phone till I get home) thanks

Overclock depends on the phone. Some are more picky than others. Personally, I underclock because my phone still flies and it saves me some battery life.

MikG
Mik3D

Max safe overclock... the highest shown in SetCPU is 1228800. I overclock while charging (only time I ever do) and usually I put it at 1113600

I have an Evo and a Nexus S on Boost and I love the ASOP roms...I have CM7 and love it on my Evo...just my opinion..

Thanks I'm going to try the mike 3d first. It looks like there are a lot of different options for rooting revoked ect. What do you suggest? And I switched from the nexus s so I could have sense not dissing cm I just love sense and htc.

If your phone has Gingerbread on it, then you will have to root with Revolutionary. Look in development for that

I love MIUI's theming system, but it feels so much like a different OS. Not sure if I really like that yet. Also it's not as smooth as CM7 and still feels in early development.

TouchWiz is not a launcher, its more of a framework. So even though the launcher is gone its still TouchWiz.

I find miui simpler than cm7. I loved cm7, but once I themed out miui and got used to it u can't beat it. Theming is better than cm7 no doubt. Especially lock screens (awesome awesome). It FLIES on Mtd too..and really not buggy at all. Any bugs r minor and easily fixable and nothing greater than wut cm7 has. Transforms ur whole phone and ui. Cm7 is still very android-y, not that that's bad, but not TOO different. Also miui stock launcher is amazing, and the status/notif bars are more customizable and nicer.
