I just rooted my tmobile vibrant..and now i want to know as of now is
cm7 a reliable rom to use?
which roms right now are the best or are working the best.
looking for a rom where basically everything works where i wont get missed calls or txt messages
Tard Rom or bionix nextgen they are both on the teamwhiskey site, or you can use one of the many jvq/jvr roms on the development thread
Tard Rom and bionix nextgen are the name of the roms im guessing
do you mind posting link with the most current version
From what I can tell the most reliable and established ROMs are all based on 2.2 / FROYO as 2.3 / Gingerbread ROMs including CM7 all still have issues with Battery Power and GPS. These are the two most heavily viewed / used as far as I can tell:
Project V 6/11/11
Bionix-v 1.3.1 from Team Whiskey
Bionix nextgen and Tard ROMs are available in the forums on the team whiskey site (registration required).
Again, it would be great to include a very limited selection of very stable ROMs in a FAQ. The current long list of all ROMs is fairly useless for the majority of us seeking a long-term stable solution.
Good luck!
I always come back to biwinning 2.2.1
It has everything I need which is good GPS and wificalling.,
I use Cyanogenmod 7, all the latest builds are fully reliable and stable.
I also use Hybrid SGS II JVP v. IV XXJVP 06.29.11 ROM and this is the best 2.3.4 ROM with TouchWiz 4.5 launcher. Its also the most stable ROM i have ever had.

i dont think we have a working cm6.
if you want stable, just flash most any 2.2 froyo rom like trigger 3.2, bionix, toxic crazy 8, ....
most of the 2.2 roms are about as stable as you are going to get.
Ok ill try out cm7 then im guessing bio.since it seems to be mentioned the most
Don't flash cm7. You're not ready for that. Install a froyo rom instead. You get everything you need from them. Good battery life and stable. That's what matters the most.

I'm also trying out some of these for some-what the same reason...

I'm a LIGHT user, so when my phone is on standyby i dont want it losing 20% of my battery.
When i use it, I just text, phone calls, a LITTLE music, and maybe play games, but i know i can lose battery while doing those, i just want to save maximum battery while on standby.
Any suggestions?

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
I am looking for a stable stock rom, either 2.2 or 2.3. Btw, by stock I mean no sense, pure stock android.
OMGB is pretty much stock 2.3.
Ruby is stock 2.2.

Everyone gets different battery life with different roms. You'll have to experiment for yourself to see which rom+kernel gets you the best battery life

If you're looking at AOSP ROMs ("stock"), I'd probably go with Gingerbread. The only real concern is that 720p recording does not work, and won't until HTC brings GB officially and releases the source.

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.

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).

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.

Simple honey 3.8(3.9 update this weekend) and revolution are great roms to try out for sure

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

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.
