whoa!! everyday this phone gets more impressive..
You may want to clarify the OP--Eugene is running a Vibrant 4G rom, the KAB leak. Krylon, Jellette, and others have been tinkering with it today and Eugene/Barak have joined in on the fun. It looks like they may have a working ROM ready soon.
(personally, I'm not too optimistic since all of the kernels from these ports drain battery like crazy)
What's with the 4g icon in the notification bar then?
If that is actually 4g speeds and not just them using the 4g icon (like people do with the H icon), then this damn phone will never be stopped! Haha
Sucks cuz I dont think any of them have the FFC mod to tell us if this helps out with the banding.

Because it's a Vibrant 4G ROM? We can also flash ROMs that show either "H" or "3G"--the icon doesn't mean anything if the hardware or driver support isn't actually there.
I would be a lot more skeptical if it was anyone other than Eugene...

My thoughts exactly!! Glad his laptop is up and running again
sent from the other side of my galaxy.
on twitter i asked him if it was actually 4g speeds (which would be nuts) or just the icon to show he got that rom working. i'm sure we'll find out soon. these devs are insanely smart.
He also posted Quadrant and Linpack scores from the KAB running and unfortunately, they don't look as good as hoped. If it is indeed 2.2.1, if will offer no performance increases over our 2.2
Why?
Linpack 13.75
Quadrant 1090 without a lagfix.
If this is really 2.2.1, the Hummingbird JIT optimizations are not working. I hope it's just 2.2 then
The FFC support and possibly increased speeds DO look impressive though

To the best of my knowledge our devices don't have the proper hardware to receive full "4G" speeds, but they will be able tap into HSPA+ with faster speeds than 3G. T-Mo even said the original Vibrant would be the fastest non-4G device on the network.

To whome it may concern. With the cm7 my data speeds are REALLY slow. When i use other roms there is a noticeable speed increase in loading of webpages and data heavy apps.
Side question:
This my first CM build on a phone. I was wondering what the icon looks like when im getting 3g speeds. So far i have a green icon with a '1x' on it. Sometimes it will go grey. I didnt know if i was even getting my 3g or if its using basic '1g'.
Excuse the '1g' reference, im a noob so save your troll/flame.

just flash royal ginger 2.0, great rom, although i'm having an issue where my signal flips constantly between 3G and 4G, i actually was running with cygenmod 7 for a few days and was having the same issue so i thought iw ould try a different rom, and same issue. I've flashed all three different radios and have same luck. if i revert back to the stock rom, i have a solid 4G all the time. any suggestions?

When using CM or any derivitives of (maybe even AOSP) you will be connected to 3G most of the time until you download or need to use 4G then it will automaticlly switch.
With the stock rom it does not differentiate (visually) between 3G and 4G so even though you think you are on 4G all the time you might not actually be.

Is this why you have posted at least 15-20 times today in different threads with pretty much off topic useless comments? Trying to get your post count up since your account was created yesterday? I for one would never flash a Rom from some one that isnt or hasnt been a part of this community for some time. I also saw this post from you (only a hour ago) that makes me wonder....you are building Roms yet had to have help rooting a phone that is really very simple to root. This of coarse is just my two cents, and of coarse everyone is able to do what ever they want.

While you are new, I'll try that as soon as other people have given a thumbs up to it. but PLEASE try and make the gps consistent. That alone is why I'm sticking with the stock rom - any rom with good wireless data and fully functional GPS is a winner. ESPECIALLY if it's AOSP.
I saw this on a thread a while back... dial *#*#4636#*#* and then choose the first option (like phone info or something) then scroll down to where it says wcdma preferred and tap it and switch it to wcdma only and reboot and you'll be on 4g way more than before. I was having the same 3g 4g mess before I found info. Wish I could.thank the original post but I don't remember who it was. I also know that trick works on other android phones as well.

all vanilla android (aosp) ROMs seem to have this reputation. the people who do see this usually don't have this happen all the time but seems to come in spurts and then be ok for a while.
but one thing that does NOT help the situation is jumping around flashing one new ROM / kernel / radio after another over and over in short periods of time. ..feel free to do this if you're really itching to but just don't clog up all the corresponding threads with questions or comments about your battery life, reception, data speeds, etc .... JUST EXPECT inconsistencies if you're currently indulging your flash crack addiction.
it comes with the territory.
and I'm not trying to say don't try other setups out. but if you are really on a 'quest' to find the configuration (ROM/kernel/radio/etc) that works best for YOU - do yourself a favor and give each setup 3 - 4 days AT LEAST .. ideally a week +
not only for the ROM to have a chance to settle in and show you some kind of consistency but to give your worn out phone and battery a rest!
your glacier will be a much happier little block of ice this way, believe me
happy flashing

There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

No not many and he's always killing the apps. His main complaint is that when he open up messaging it takes a while to open up

I think he would back up his apps, and move to a stable ROM offered by one if the dev here

To keep things closer to your dad's experience there's FishmanMod which is an update to a very popular Bionix -v 1.3.1 Rom. It will fly compared to stock but everything works and it won't be totally unfamiliar to the dad.

be careful, the GS4g and Vibrant may look the same, but their flashing procedures are a bit different. read up and then do it.
Adding on to xriderx66, use this guide if you need a reference when backing up & flashing a custom rom to your dads phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Since he's already rooted start from: "OKAY, I HAVE ROOT - NOW WHAT? BACKUP!!!"
If your dad is happy with the stock ROM (with the exception of the speed) then I would definitely suggest going with something like the fishman mod that is based on the stock 2.2 ROM. That'll make sure he still has all the stock apps and such. I used Bionix for a LONG time and was always really happy with it.
I'm gonna show him bionix and see what he says

I suggest showing him Fish's version of Bionix for the mere reason that Fishman is supporting it daily, while Team Whiskey is no longer.
Fish is good at what he does. My name is Woodrube and I endorse this message.
