Dang it developers!

Can't help but laugh at this:
I am running stock 2.2.1 EDT Beta 2 for a while and it's extra extra smooth. But now we have options to flash these awesome ROMs:
1) Trigger 2.6.2
2) RC6
3) Frost 2.2.1
4) Axura 2.3.1.1
I want to flash every single one of them but also I like how reliable EDT is. Anyone thinking like me?
Gotta love Vibrant community! Kudos to all developers out there. You guys rock!

I feel ya!!! I've tried all of them except for RC6. Tried out Frost and got the lag/bugs that are mentioned in the thread, so went back to Bionix 1.2.1. All of them are awesome ROMs, though!

I was just about to post something about this. Yes, edt 2.2.1 beta 2 is my favorite rom so far. Smooth and great battery life. In my quest for a complete 2.2.1 rom I tried rc6 and frost and found both to be laggy on my phone. I wonder if the 4g kernels are not a good match for (some?) vibrants. Going to stick with 2.2 for the time being. Axura is more theme-y than I like so I tried trigger. Trigger is very similar to edt 2.2.1 beta 2 imo and I really like the new kernel.

buy 4 vibrants.

Feel the same about Frost and Axura. One is laggy and the other is very theme-y. I guess I will follow you staying on 2.2 for a little more. I don't want to mess my beautiful configuration.

I agree can't think bring myself to change from beta 2 with dead horse kernel. It's really good.

I like stock with voodoo. I've tried most of the roms and keep coming back to stock.

same here... my perfect rom would be;
Stock boot animations/loaders/sounds
gingerbread theme with touchwiz UI over stock ROM with performance enhancements (if possible, and of course it wouldn't be 100% stock then)
and of course voodoo with performance enhanced stock kernel.
if this could be done i would be STOKED!

You can try RC6 with Frost kernal. It has voodoo on kernal. I just flash, it is smooth. The only problem so far i have is the external SD mount. Everything is great. No lag at all

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.

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.

Fastest GB ROM that is NOT CM7?

I love fast roms, but I haven't been given the time to test all of these new roms.
Which roms do you guys think is the overall fastest? Preferably with good battery life too.

Give Deck's GB a try

+1 for DECKS!!!
lets just say i love experiment with some strange but i'll always come back to decks

Syndergy based roms are doing me right right about now, so any should be good. If your going to be in the community i find it hard to believe that the urge to flash multiple roms won't eventually get its grip on you

decks is cyanogen, with a different launcher.
try salvagemod or evervolv

Gotta give my vote to mikg v1.04

I'll be the first to represent for VaelPak AOSP GP Preview. I love it, no problems whatsoever for my admittedly-average usage experience. It's still in beta, but Vaelek is a talented dev. Not sure why he left XDA, but he's running his own show at vaelek.com these days.
I've also heard good things about Deck's ROM.

For AOSP, Deck's or Salvagemod.
For Sense, MikG 1.04 or the newest Synergy nightly.

DECKs rom is the way to go. Tried them all and still flash them just to stay on the edge of the development. Only problem with DECKs...DON'T GET COMFORTABLE!!! The guy updates his stuff every 10 minutes!!! Kidding of course but he really strives to make his the best it can be. I absolutely love it!!!

I agree 100% I wasn't a big fan of asop till deck.

Decks is great. I keep finding myself coming back to Decks gb rom. way to go. Try it out and see how you like it.

I never tried Decks, but it is based off of CM 7 from what i'v heard. If you're looking for something other than CM7 then you HAVE to try out MIUI.
Not only is it one of the best GB roms i'v ever used, it's one of the best roms i'v used period (and i'v been flashing roms since the G1 days). Trust me, you won't regret. I highly suggest once you flash it install Go Launcher because the stock launcher is a little "iphone-ish" unless you like that kind of thing, then it's all good.

+1 for Decks ROM......

Deck's rom is pretty awesome. Running that with the SZ kernel, LauncherPro, and the Supercharger script, and my phone has never been faster.

No he updates it everytime a new CM7 nightly is released.

So, I tried using Synergy, and I have no idea what it could have been, but it felt a lot slower than I was comfortable with.
I have yet to try MIUI, but people seem to enjoy it. At the moment I'm on Kingdom R6 and I feel like it's one of the faster ROMs I've used.
I haven't used an AOSP ROM yet, but it seems that Deck is the ROM of choice. I know with CM7 I can't flash it because I used unrEVOked, is that the same situation with Deck?

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.

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.

I have seen a lot of people raving about swipers ICS MIUI. I downloaded but haven't flashed yet. What makes it so great? I will probably have to give it a try tonight. I just hope its a smooth set up. I hate having to flash gps drivers and stuff like that. But if its that good I guess its worth the setup time.

Exactly. Once again, NOBODY can tell you what the best rom for you is. Everyone has their own wants/needs, and not to mention the same rom will not run the same on every single device. Try a few roms, and find one you like, simple as that.

I use the Miks rom and it run flawlessly

I've been running nitrous for awhile now. The dev is extremely good at taking requests and keeping everyone updated on his progress.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I tried nitrous but the battery life blew dogs. I'm in SOS 1.9 ics I love ics are there any other good ics roms out there.

I'm partial to MikG 3.11 (or the latest). Stable, smooth, decent features and stays pretty updated.

Anything MIUI has been awesome for me...So customization & runs fast, everything works besides 4g but I cant get 4g in this area anyways...Plus the themes change up the look of your phone alot!! BTW Why is ICS Muiu running Mason kernel the best? Does GPS camera video ect work?? How do I get video or movies from my phone to work on my TV thru QQ player?

I am an OG Epic user, and the biggest (only?) complaint I had and have seen with our ICS ports is that the lack of battery life renders the phone unuseable. Is the same the case with the Evo? I see a lot of ICS roms and folks here seem to like it, but I've flashed the Evo's on my account with some roms lately that score unbelievable battery life so I'm hesitant to change.
