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.

Just tweak stuff until you find out what the settings do!
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.

Trigger roms

In my opinion, trigger rims rock! What do you think?

Trigger roms sorry!!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

i would say trigger for now. i use trigger and bionix v 1.3.1. trigger for me seems smoother and great batt life n rocked almost a 1900 in quad without set cpu w/ overstock. but inturn bionix v is just so damn fast. so slight edge to trigger. if / when tw comes with anything else oh man, the tide might shift.

but not to discourage tho i saw a 1.3.2 test. hmmmm

I may have to check out bionix thanks for the heads up.

Trigger is my dd. I love all the options. Everything works. I love the theming. Fast, smooth, and never a hiccup. No matter what ROM I flash, I always come back home to Trigger.

hell yeah same here lol theirs just something about it

I have been running Trigger roms since I got my Vibrant in January. I love it. I like the way it looks and runs. And BT is very responsive and active regarding his rom. I have been searching and reading up on other roms, just wanting to try different things...so far I haven't come across one to pull me away.

Trigger all the way. Tried alot of different others, trigger has had best consistent data speeds / battery life for my vibrant fa sho!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

+1 Trigger all the way!

This rom is crazy I haven't charged my phone for almost 3 days!!

I've been using Bionix almost exclusively for the past year as other Roms had broken or non-working parts. I recently tried Trigger and love it. I definitely put it up there with Bionix for quality, speed, and battery life. Bionix 1.3.1 is gold, but Trigger 3.0.1 is what I'm running now.

Everyone is bragging about trigger. Let me try. If it didn't turn out as great as everyone say, I'm going to hate all of you. :lol:

I had a bad experience with Trigger, lost 50% in 2hrs and my data speeds were crazy slow on both 3g and wifi

I tried several 2.21 roms for a while but decided to try trigger, and I am glad I did.now its my dd.

For the record,
both of those things have nothing to with Trigger itself, but an uncalibrated battery, and maybe a bad modem flash

Honestly, I like it too. However, I got a boot loop when I tried to flash with my custom made theme. I will try that later on.
As for now, most of you guys who bragged about this rom are of the hook. lolz
I'm back with Bi-Winning. After down grading the kennel from stock 2.4.1 to 1.5.1, the battery life is so great.

OMG stock 2.2 sucks! Help!

Was on CM7 thinking that the wifi was terrible and I needed a good signal so I thought I'd go back to the 2.2 roms. So far all Ive been able to do is update the phone to 2.2 stock and I HATE IT!
Quick! what is the fastest method to gain root and get a ROM on there!?
Thanks in advance!

Odin to jfd and root. Then install cwm or if you have the old update.zip reinstall that a couple of times. Oh yeah don't forget to put a rom on as wwell.
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA App

wait wait wait. I feel like such a noob. I odin'd to jfd (stock 2.1 right) rooted and installed clockwork recovery. Tried to flash trigger and it didn't work, which made me think, "crap, do I need to be on 2.2?' dammit! I am confused... Are you saying that I should have been able to flash trigger 3.2 from stock, rooted, 2.1? It didn't work for some reason...oh jeez...I bet it was a bad dl...

Yeah. Basically. You might need to wait a little for voodoo to kick in, but I've flashed trigger 3.2 multiple times on 2.1 stock.rooted.

Amen to that! These devs make this phone what it should be. On that note, I misspoke before. My next will definitely be the nexus prime. The beauty there is solid samsung hardware and pure google software. I don't even care what carrier gets it. I'll switch for that sucker!

Ec05 further development

Are any devs working on cooking up more ec05 roms? Reason being is tht I feel like we are never going 2 see a official GB rom anytime soon with the way samsung Bull sh*ts everyone. I feel we should have a ec05 rom with everything completely loaded on it with the lastest tweaks an mods. A ec05 rom thts bascially on steroids lol with everything we can possibly get on it.

From what I see, v6 supercharger is exactly like autokiller from the market (The memory optimizer, not an actual task killer).

BML vs MTD. Too soon to change for daily driver?

I'm still on bml because its more reliable and every thing works the way it's supposed to. I tried the cm7 rom and I lasted about 2 days and quickly realized that it was very limited in flexibility and function.
Granted, it was very smooth. I know it's the future but its still very beta. Just read all the mtd threads, and you'll see how some basic things are buggy or not working.
I'm a little disappointed that some of the devs are abandoning all ei22 bml support. Especially since official gingerbread isn't even fully mature yet.
I am happy that at least TW will be supported in MTD, that's a major plus for me.
What are your thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I totally agree with you on this. I am trying to keep up on the MTD TW threads to see where the future is going but will remain probably on Legendary 2.1 with Shadowkernel for the immediate future because my phone is so freaking awesome right now!
As soon as Bbelos puts up 1.04 you guys should grab it! It will be phenomenal! All the speed you are used to and great voodoo color defaults (most will not need voodoo control app).

Well I happen to be the one that always says you'll come back. I have since moved to cm7 because earthbound put out the cm7 kernel I missed the first time I moved. I do have a few bugs I'm dealing with atm but nothing to hard to workaround. To be honest I don't see much improvment from mtd to bml or than the space and file system. As of now its just not too different however once the devs start to tear it apart and see how stuff works is when things will start to pick up. However they must be getting somewhere since there has been multiple updates on cm7 since to mtd move compared to bml.

Mtd is awesome!!!!!!!
Im running tortel1210's TWMTD rom and its amazing with Samurai3.3.1MTD and Ii really can see somewhat of a difference. On BML my phone was not able to run certain programs like chainfire correctly. Games like Trainz,SHADOWGUN, and GTA 3 would not play. After switching to MTD these games run smooth as ever and I have seen change in the behavior of many apps I have downloaded. MTD in my opinion will save the Epic from discontinuation of development on it. Mabye ports like working sense can finally be achieved from this new propietary system

Imho mtd is waay more reliable. I haven't got any of the dreaded gingerbread corruption.

You should just take the jump once Earthbound comes out with his updated cm kernel so far cm7 has been everything I wanted it to be. Much faster game wise than two I don't quite understand it but its amazingly fast. Try it at least. I have yet to regret it.
