Well, it's been 3 weeks since I bricked my phone. Mine was 1 of those that had no recovery mode so I had to send it in to get repaired. As I live abroad, the turn around time was a very LONG 3 weeks. Anyway, browsing the development section I see a lot of the devs have gone into over drive. There are SO MANY Rom's to choose from that frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed at which to choose.
Bionix Final
Bionix Fusion 1.1
Froyo JPA Macnut
Froyo JPO Axura
AOSPish 1.4
MasterRom Final
Then there are all the kernels as well as the zmod4 mod. I mean wtf! lol!!
I was running Bionix 1.7 with Voodoo and it was unbelievably smooth and fast. Now I just don't even know where to start.
In your opinions , what combo would be the fastest, most stable, smoothest and closest one of all of those to Bionix 1.7 OC w/voodoo?
Wow, this is such a loaded question since the answer is always going to be one of opinion. But, since I have one of those, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth.
My phone was also bricked by the OTA. However, I was able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. Knowing I could do this gave me the confidence to try the Bionix 1.x versions (pre Final). When Fusion came out, I went to it and am very happy that I did. In my opinion, it is what Samsung should have release in the first place. (Samsung should really consider engaging this team - or other developers who are spending a lot of time tweaking the ROMs - as consultants on their future releases). So, to answer your question:
* They (both flavors of Bionix) are very stable
* Doesn't require a lag fix.
So, I'm pretty happy. The main difference (as I understand it) between Bionix Final and Fusion is whether you have all of the Samsung stuff included. Fusion doesn't include Touchwiz. I'm a Launcher Pro person, so Fusion is a better choice for me.
Now, regarding the Froyo builds. Depends on what you want to do with your phone. I view those builds as "bleeding edge." So, I want them to be around a little longer before I go that route. But that's just me.
Good luck.
It all depends on your personal preference.
If you are afraid to brick your new replacement and wait another 3 weeks I'd suggest going with Bionix Final stock kernel option, if you feel adventurous go with Bionix Fusion with non-stock kernel. I would, personally, wait for a stable Froyo ROM, current ROM's lack GPS drivers due to unavailability of the source from Samsung, but as soon as an official leak shows up or OTA roll out, I am pretty sure there will be a stable Froyo builds to choose from.
In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Fusion JAC kernel, it smooths the phone to a degree I don't even see what stock OTA Froyo could bring to the table except Adobe Flash support. My understanding in the delays associated with Froyo release is the JIT (just in time compiler) hasn't been optimized for Hummingbird CPU, and Samsung is working on the optimization.
I recommend Bionix Fusion 1.1 with Project Core kernal 1Ghz. Its very stable, very fast and smooth and good battery life. There is also a Project Core 1.2 Ghz kernel but that one ran my cpu kinda hot with continuous use and I flashed down to the 1Ghz kernel. Not to mention Team Whiskey has put a lot of effort into making this rom as usable as possible. Far as that goes, every rom development team on here has lol. Thats my recommendation though.
That's not even a reasonable list of options. All froyo ROMS are not stable. And for anyone who thinks these froyo ROMs are sUpEr cOoL aWeSoMe, stable means everything works, and everything does not work currently on any froyo ROMs. So first thing you'd have to decide is if you want a ROM with all the features, personally, I don't get why people settle for Froyo minus the GPS. JIT isn't even functioning, so what are you really getting out of froyo at the time being? Just to say you have it? There really aren't any life changing factors comparing froyo vibrant roms to bionix 1.1.
I myself have a new vibrant, and am running a rooted JI6 OTA, just rooted for adfree and tether mainly, along with the OCLF just for ****s n giggles. The OCLF really only seems to speed up certain small things, like cache cleaning/app uninstalls/etc. Ive ran every 2.1 ROM on a vibrant and there's really no significant changes in speed, same linpack, same quadrant (even though it means nothing). My suggestion is bionix 1.1 if you really wanna try something new, but it won't change your life, just satisfy your need for change.
Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/ project core v1 @ 1.2 if your phone can handle it. I have flashed just about every rom that has been released including the froyo roms and to me, this is by far the best rom / kernel combo.

JIT in the newer Froyo builds is working.. what are you talking about? Everything works with the exception of GPS. The only issue that you may encounter is GPS and battery life complaints (results may vary) and the occasional data drop problem.

Acutally flash one of those ROM's before saying things don't work or they aren't stable..
They are stable, JIT DOES work, etc.
I've had great performance with Bionix Fusion using the Core v1 kernal (over clocked to 1.2). I threw the OCLF on top of it, but everything already ran great without it.

Things aren't wrong with stable ROMs. It's a port. A port is a port. Fact is when official froyo made for our MODEL of galaxy s, these froyo sources will be dropped. The 2.1 roms for us are built on a stable base built for our phones. They're just facts. Not discrediting any work done. If my friend asked a recommendation, I certainly wouldn't recommend an experimental ROM with dysfunctional features, and that's what this thread is about.

I have to agree/disagree with you. Even though 2.2 ROMs are ports, they are still very very good. And if you can live w/o the GPS.. Well, go with one of them
If you can't live w/o a GPS, then go with Master Rom or Bionix Fusion
Fusion with the Core kernel is awesome for me. 1.2GHz without increased voltage is nice. This is my first android device and I really like Launcher Pro.

You seem to have a very different definition of the word "stable" compared to most people. IMO, "stable" means not rebooting or force closing randomly. What you describe is "not fully featured."

I've used it, it's pointless to argue. We're talking about milliseconds here. If you reopen and close a random app 10x. Each of our setups would hesitate on a few of them. I'm satisfied with speed on this thing. I'm more focused on new features. And your opinion is wrong, the gps and apparently data is not stable at all or at all times. Gps would be a component of the rom, which in turn makes the rom experimental. Its just made well enough to use daily.

Gentlemen, thanks for all of the replies. It's very much appreciated.
I am going to switch between a Froyo version and Bionix Fusion. I have absolutely no use for GPS where I'm located, never even used it once. So I'm going to give Froyo a try to see what it's like. Then in all honesty, unless it's unbelievable... I see myself going to Bionix Fusion as it's the most recommended here.
No matter which I eventually end up with, I think I'll be keeping it at 1Ghz. No OC for me until I run some serious tests. My OCing experience with computers tells me that OCing a unit without any additional cooling and having it sealed in a casing that must be close to as warm as hell, is a seriously bad idea. Even without extra juice, I can only see more harm coming from that than any actual real world benefits. But I'll know for sure after I see what the temp variations are like. (Anyone care to share their experience with that?)
Again, thank you all for the suggestions.
Why is there no love for AOSPish 1.4? Lol I really love that rom with JACS oc/uv kernel. Its an awesome rom if u want to go for a more stock android look. Either way u cant really go wrong with any of these roms. Developers are bustin their butts to constantly improve them. I think u should just try a few out and see what works best for u! Good luck

Hmmmmmmm Roms
Like most of the people who already posted I think people are getting way myopic about what is better yadida..........
My experience has been the one thing that never really gets resolved 100% is the GPS, and that is not that important to me
The Froyo's
The Axura's
The Bionix's
Eugenes Roms
Master's roms
All of the above are fantastic in their own right. The Better question is "what do i really need and want" then look at the roms and "back engineer" you needs and wants to the rom that most matches that criteria. What i see is this over active need to have the fastest most newest rom.... ok.......... so, that is like having a Massaretti in commuter traffic... you cannot utilize the power.... so look to your needs and wants and find a balanced rom thatfits that

Very well said and great analogy. Don't forget there are tons of people who want a Ferrari or Lambo just for the wow factor while in traffic. Most custom roms give you that wow compared to stock.
So I am tired of the stock 3.1 firmware because of all the browser lag and random closes. Also the home screen lags big time when moving from screen to screen. I havent updated to touchwiz by the ota because I know most of time it messes with rooting.
I am very interested in the overclock 1.4ghz kernel, and just a smooth honeycomb experience.
Which rom did u choose and why?
Personally, I'm on a vanilla 3.1 ROM. PhantomHacker should release a new vanilla 3.2 ROM soon... I'm curious if someone else experiences your issues. I never had any browser lag or random closes and I'm a heavy P7510 user. Could you please post a site link that lags for you? I will try it on my tablet also and let you know.
I'm on the UK 3.1 TW and don't see the lag. If you're planning on rooting and flashing, then why not give the TW update a try out beforehand?
Couldn't be happier with KME Touchwiz and Pershoot 1.4 ghz. As smooth as butter

I've used both Starburst and Task650, and thought they're both great, the biggest difference I've experienced came when I flashed Pershoot's Kernel and then OC'd to 1.4ghz. So, no matter which ROM, make sure you flash that kernel.
Ok and just to verify, to flash a kernel - its just the same as flashing a rom?

Ignore him. He thinks the Tab 10.1 has a micro-SD card slot.
Task650's ROM seems to be quite nice. He doesn't go overboard with modifications, and he doesn't make outrageous claims for his ROM. I stuck with stock for a long time, and I'm running his TW ROM now and it has been good so far.
Bonsai should be avoided - Serious quality control problems, at least for a period of time USB host mode was completely broken in Bonsai, the ROM should never have been released like that.
Starburst - I haven't tried it and have no intention of doing so. When a ROM dev claims to have the "fastest and most complete Touchwiz experience" you know you're going to get the buggiest and least stable Touchwiz experience. The more a dev markets their ROM, the worse it will be in my experience.

Don't knock Starburst. Phantom made that claim about his rom when he first released it because it was one of the first to be released, and compared to stock TW, it certainly lived up to his claim. I've been flashing like crazy between his and Task's roms, and frankly, you can't go wrong with either. Only question is how themed you like your rom, and Task gets the edge there.

Why would you give advice on a product you've never used? Both KME and Starburst work fine. I'd suggest try both for a day or two to see which works best for you (backup with Titanum!).
Also, there's really only three custom ROMs, so there's not as many to choose from as you might think (KME, Starburst, and Bonsai).
Just by chance I ended up using Starburst before using Task650's KME. I used Starburst for about 3 weeks. Loved it.
Side note: I always use ADW EX so whatever launcher was in the ROM was irrelevant to me.
I loaded Pershoot's kernel and loved it even more. 1.4 GHZ. I thought I was stylin'!
Flashed Task's 650 KME V2 today. Stock kernel. It's amazing! Definitely the best. No contest IMO.
Flashed it for my wife on her tab, and she is super stoked. She is into the TW interface. She noticed the speed boost.

task 650's v2 is the fastest/smoothest tbh
Flash the 1.4 gz oc kernel (pershoots) over that and your a happy camper
I prefer tw based roms to vanilla only because the browser lag seems to be fixed in the tw updates
I love me some AOSP / pure Google, but both jt's custom and Cyanogen nightlies suffer from volume issues, data stability, black screen of death, etc. At some point I believe jt mentioned a lack of source code from Samsung as being root of the problems.
Seeking stability, I recently went back to stock Froyo / TouchWiz 2.2.2. It's been amazingly trouble free, all things considered...but TouchWiz is driving me crazy!
Are there truly any Gingerbread ROMs that don't suffer these problems? AOSP isn't a must, but as close to pure as possible would be best.
If stock Froyo 2.2.2 is really the most stable, then who's customized stock is the best?

I was about to ditch this thing 2 months ago. After months of missing phone calls 2 trouble tickets 3 replacements and having tried every rom modem kernel combo possible. I find it funny that all the bull**** I went through for 8 months stopped the day I flashed ec09 modem and vanilla gingerbread and I haven't looked back. Now running Pool Party (VGB based) with jt's 0912 kernel and still the ec09 modem it's the perfect setup for me. I have NOT missed a call and my data speeds are consistently at or above 1.1mbps since going to an aosp/mtd rom. It's also amazing that in places where my phone was useless before, I am able to use it as one would expect now. Anytime someone asks what's the best "rom" it is such a loaded question with each individual having their own unique setup desires of what they expect out of the device. But to say "All aosp Rom have major issues" you might as well have just gone to jt's house and spit in his face. To OP you need to find the time to read and try all roms yourself. Or you could listen to half cocked kinda uneducated responses and base your rom choice on that. But I'll continue to take pictures with the TouchWiz camera that was ported to pool party and enjoy what has been a great last 2 months on an aosp/mtd rom and continue to enjoy my device and try to repress the previous 8 months crap I put up with on touch wiz. @OP We have more options now than we have ever had on this device but you need to try all options yourself and see if a particular option will suit your needs and expectations.
Also keep in mind that all options are not available on xda. cough cough rootzwiki cough cough.
good day.

Aosp: android open source project. It's 100% android software with no additions, modifications or bloatware added on by phone manufacturers. Touch wiz is android modified by Samsung which has a different, inferior file system. So roms are either aosp based or TW based( for Samsung phones) and are not compatible with each other. They both have their pros and cons

I tried out TSM Pool Party a couple of times. The first time I tried 1.3 using the JT kernel dated 0829 and neither the torch nor the camera flash would work. Back to Geewiz 1.1.1. Today I tried TSM Pool Party 1.4 with JT's 0912 kernel. I couldn't reactivate the phone and when I pressed volume up or down on activation or on a call the incall volume shot from loud to almost nonexistent. Tried Vanilla GB and then 0829 kernel but neither fixed the problem. Back to GeeWiz 1.1.1 again.
Speedwise I was really impressed, but I need functionality over speed. So I apologize to all the developers out there working on AOSP but they still needs more work before they are RC ready. However kudos to all the progress that has been made.

pretty much had the same experience...
I agree that the AOSP roms can be functionally messed up sometimes, but that is what a lot of people prefer.
Personally, I like the TouchWiz interface (it's one of the things that drew me to the Fascinate over the Droid X). If you do too, then you have two great options...
GeeWiz - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211337
Powerwashed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199851
The GeeWiz rom is, in my opinion, exactly what the author describes it as... WISH (What It Should Have been). It's essentially the Fassy the way most users would have preferred. If you are new to flashing, highly consider this rom (which is cleaned up and pre-rooted).
The Powerwashed rom (would personally stay with the Froyo version for now) is a little more customized than the GeeWiz version. It is a great option for those who want the extra changes listed in the developer's post already applied.
Both are outstanding roms for those who like the TouchWiz interface. IMHO, you can't go wrong with either one.
Right now, I'm running GeeWiz 1.1... though I see I need to flash CWM and update to 1.1.1!

Gee wiz is a eh 09 based Gb rom (for now) developed by djp952. It's as close to stock as you're gonna find. He also developed a ed 05 froyo Rom with the same characteristics
PWGB 2. 0b3 TKSGB 9-27,adren shot xv, honeycomb v 2.02
Doing fine on PWED05 right now.
Due for an upgrade so as soon as I get a new phone my Fascinate will be running some variant of GB.
Powerwashed ED05 is my choice for Best Froyo 2.2.2
i don't want to flash new GB ROM based-on EI20 or EH09, I want to wait for stock/official Gingerbread ROM. But if I flash GB ROM, i choose PowerWashed GB ^_^ ( but gain more battery drain, just because modem and ROM...)
is better froyo 2.2 rom original or modified ROM is here?.
encuenta having all respects.
stability.
battery life.
speed.
performance with installed applications.
not crash all the time
customization.
etc.
and recommendations of the best rom for my Samsung T595 vibrant.
Hello there. if you have a vibrant it is a t959. I dont use froyo anymore since we have very good choices on gingerbread ann ICS. Iam on Skankwich CM9 Kang...very nice. You can find good choices if you search. Im my opinion a custom rom is better. You need to find out by yourself wich one you like and works better according to your needs. How? ...flashing!!

I wouldn't run ICS if you don't feel like tinkering with your ROM. The GPS is inconsistent, and there will be little bugs every now and again as the developers continue to refine the base builds that will require you to keep an eye on the ROM you flashed for updates.
None of the bugs I found in ICS are real show stoppers depending on what you expect out of your phone (besides that encryption unsuccessful problem which is a big issue), but there were enough that I only flash ICS every month or so just to see how things are. I always come back to Froyo just for the sake of everything working.
Moped Ryder's EZ_Ryder/Slim_Ryder are good Froyo builds, but I, personally, always fall back to either Bionix-V 1.3.1 or Fishman's Bionix-V Mod with the DragonModz or Overstock kernel. That combo with the Holo launcher fits my needs just right.
Hey, if you're going for stability, battery life, speed, and performance...then a custom rom from the development is certainly better than stock froyo in my opinion. And..luckily enough, we have some great developers in the froyo department at the moment. I've tried a lot of Fish's builds and they are all awesome...but I had some of the best battery life and such on his updated Deranged rom

I was getting like 2 days worth of life while I was on that, and it was buttery smooth lol
But really, anything by Fish or Moped is definitely worth looking into my friend.

Froyo / GB is all I use for now. Dont forget the issues that come along with ICS and CM7 / 9.
1. A lot don't have working 911 (e911?) or inconsistant 911 with each build.
2. ICS from my knowledge still has the Encryption Unsuccessful bug.
3. For me at least gps works best on Froyo.
4. Possible mute/unmute bug (rare)
Those two are the deal breakers for me. Im a father of 3 so I have to have a working phone with 911 at all times.
btw - thanks for good word guys
If you find any old Froyo / GB rom and would like me (or Fishman) to update it to current status just ask.
If you want to try out Stock Froyo Id suggest the KB5 stock ROM I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519
Its stock with lockscreens and a power menu added.
Hi
Currently Im on Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 nightly 414 and while OK, the other day it had a HORRIBLE (unbearable) slowdown period. Even multiple restarts didnt help. Finally it seems it fixed itself but Ive looking for something new. I use Go Launcher if that makes any difference. Im into speed but I think Im going to go with stable over speed this time.
What ROM do you recommend? Also nothing broken (automatically discards all CM9 ROMs)
If you are into Sense UI, go for Virtuous ROM, stock ROM tweaked + enhancements. If CM7 works if you are into vanilla ROMs.
I have been using virtuous glite 2.0.1 its stable I had no issues at all and I get great battery life, plus its slightly overclocked. Gslim1.6 is also very good but I had better battery life with glite. Both roms are based on GB 2.3.4. Here is a good rom index thread it lists all G2-Desire Z roms

You cannot say "Sense", "stable" and "speed" in the same sentence.

Yes, Im aware of the list but I wanted user feedback.
(Im not talking to any of you or anyone else Dont take this the wrong way at all as it is not a insult to any of you). Its funny: People ***** (a lot) when their ROMs go bad but when they are great, they dont say anything at all.
WOW G-lite is VERY old...
and i like ROMs with features; stripped down versions are not for me
sound like you will be most happy with elitemod, the cm7 based rom although i have been testing out nik3r's ics rom and like it better than most ics roms, i would go with his gingerbread rom. should be all you are looking for and great support from nik3r as well
Are you looking for a gingerbread or ics rom?

Damn I'm still happily running it! If it works great why worry how old it is. It's a testament to how well it works as it sits. anyways I'm waiting for a stable cyanogen 9. Then maybe, frankly I don't want to mess with it too much I want plain Android and I can customize it from there

I don't think you have tried much of the Sense ROMs back then, or maybe you were doing something wrong. I have had quite a few stable and fast sense ROMs. Of course they were not as fast as vanilla ones, but it works, knowing that you are the type who wants more features in ROMs.

Have you tried a CM9 Rom lately? Don't let the Beta name scare you, I have found the latest andromadus audacity extremely reliable, and everything works. I actually think it has less bugs then my stock htc GB rom.

Same, though I'm still tweaking my SetCPU settings and such, I like EliteMod's ICS rom the most right now particularly in terms of features and responsiveness. I was trying the unofficial CM9beta13 for a couple days and that thing was eating battery like no-body's business. EliteMod seems to be much more tweaked as it's the same setup Nik3r is using for his own personal Desire-Z.
But far as stability goes, I would agree that going with a Ginger rom would be the best bet, ICS right now is still too experimental in my opinion.
I've never tried the CM7 version of EliteMod, only the official CM 7.2.0 which was ok-ish for me. The EliteMod ICS Rom to me feels much faster and responsive than even the stock CM7rom, and I much prefer QuickPix app the EliteMod uses over that slow-arse Gallery app in CM7.
I would recommend andromadus mimicry (ics) its pretty stable and everything works (for me at least). It has the ics specific flaws like scrambled text in app drawer but launcher restart fixes it. Using this rom for 2 weeks and had this text issue 1 time. Battery is good also

You should try Elitemod cm7 it has never failed me, all the features you need, speed and stabiity plus amaizing battery life. If you wanna go ICS get the cm9 elitemod, but it is still a bit buggy.
I tried a lot of roms, and I always came back to ILWT CM7 (not new versions). Sense roms are quite good but not on Desire Z (too small amount of ram memory, multitasking on sense roms are poor - even on sense 2.1 roms with supercharger script). I waiting for stable CM9 (and yes i tried all versions of CM9 but text glitches and manually change apn to send/receives mms, makes me nervous).
That is only my subjective opinion
Anything CM7 based is very stable. Probably the most stable of all. Stay away from CM9 or anything ICS on this phone for another few months in terms of stability.

I can only vouch for my own experiences but I find cm9 very stable, perfect for a daily.

Going to install the Beta14 right now, the ALPHA 1 month ago had a lot of issues... but that was 1 month ago. Will post back...
Try Quadrasense! Not true that rom based on CM9 is not stable....
Quadrasense is very fast and stable
inviato da HTC Desire Z
For most stable overall rom I would recommend the latest ILWT CM7. For most stable ICS rom I would recommend the Andromadus Mimicry rom.
