I have recently came into the Vibrant community, coming from the MyTouch 4G community, and all I can say is that this phone is so much better, except the 4G portion.
For the past 3 days, I have been flashing over and over, different ROMs, kernels, etc. I just wanted to post the best setup that I believe is the fastest and most stable for this phone:
ROM - CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
KERNEL - 2.6.35.14 EB-Streamline
GPS FIX - Yet Another GPS Fix (YAGF) Version 2
RECOVERY - ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
BOOTLOADER - Gingerbread Bootloader
If you have a better setup that you have been using, that you believe is faster and more stable, please let me know. Thanks.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is the last nightly that the Cyanogen Team put out before retiring the Vibrant, nightly 182. Have any opinions on it before I flash it?
ROM- ICS PASSION
Kernel - Streamline - eugene373's
Bootloader: GB
Thats the best i've had.
Not only does it give the best GPS and battery life, its also the newest firmware, which I love the new UI.
I get around a day of battery life on light - medium-wise moderate usage, and GPS works all day long for me, there are infact some issues, it is BETA Like Mute/unmute issue, which I think is the ONLY major issue left.

Is this an actual ICS 4.0.3 ROM, or is it just a modified Gingerbread ROM to look like it? Because I've looked at many other threads for ICS development, and there are very few that operate at a level this one claims. I understand that in the settings it says 4.0.3, but that's easy to spoof. Has anyone actually verified this as an actual 4.0.3 ROM? If so, amazing, I will flash it soon. Thanks

Its alpha cm9, but without the cmparts (cm settings) we're used to in CM.. as of now. Soon to change, I'm sure.
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
I've tried Koush's ROM (now known as CM9 however refuse to call it that since there is nothing CM about it), and Kwiboo's ROM v2 and have to say that Kwiboo's ROM is the most stable and contained most of the features working before any other ICS ROM out there.
Pair Kwiboo's ROM v2 along with franco.kernel and you should have no problems. (I've tried the stock kernal along with the GlaDOS kernal as well.) Also running the franco.kernel with Kwiboo's v2 ROM fixes USB mounting and data usage!

just to clarify here a little bit - data usage and data usage limits are 2 separate functions.
data limits works with franco, but data usage has been working stock on v2.
i'm going to flash v3 soon and test out the differences.
IMNO kwiboo has a clear separation between kernel/drivers and AOSP which is probably why signal indicator isn't fixed yet. T__T

I've used the following combinations:
Kwiboo v2 + franco kernel
Brainmaster mix v5
CM9 Alpha 11 (Koush's ROM)
I've found CM9 to be the most stable and quite fast. Franco kernel would probably make it a bit faster but seems a bit unnecessary.
So far everything looks like it works in CM9 Alpha 11, whereas certain things don't work in the others (such as the camcorder in Kwiboo, and BM messes some apps up because of the ad-free hosts).
Since there were so many people asking on the dev thread for download links to the different kernels. I decided to create a consolidated list with links to all the available kernels for Neobuddy89 ICS Passion from v11 build 5 and Euphoria RC1 onward.

Thank you for doing this. I was thinking the same thing. Nice job and this was definitely need. Much confusion about which, where and how to find them.
But where is the real V13 link ......
What are the differences between the different boot kernels?

There are kernels, no ROMS.
If you want a fresh R13 RC1 for a reverse, there is not one.

Take a look at your CPU min value, if it's set at 100, that could be why your lockscreen doesn't respond. Bump it up to 200 and that should fix it.

Best performance/smoothness I have found using passion v13 and this kernel: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432051
it has lots of performance tweaks but really helps with the 65fps increase. all other kernels I have tested only have 55-56 fps. the 10fps makes a huge difference in the smoothness of transitions and especially in 3d apps.
you can easily test by downloading "FPS Test" on the android market. its free.
one drawback: I wasn't able to overclock over 1.1ghz stable. I had to use nstools to live OC as built in overclock did not have 1100mhz option with this kernel

Thanks for posting the links, cleanup link is not working in passion thread. I have few newbee questions
Currently i am running bionix 1.3.1 Fishmanmod.
1) I have read somewhere that one can install this over bionix 1.3.1 without cm7 and GB Bootloaders. Resulting boot loop can be fixed by reflashing ICS passion by removing the battery.
OR is better to JFD to stock froyo and install CM7 and bootloaders. Is the ICS_Passion_v13_boot.zip file i would use to flash booloader or should i download from bootloader link in ICS Passion post.
2) How to use clean up patch, do i use it before or after installing ICS Passion.
Thanks for your help.

I have always done the Odin JFD > CWM CM7 > Odin GB Bootloader > ICS.
The ICS_Passion_v13_boot.zip is the kernel from Passion v13rc1. The clean up patch is ONLY used after flashing the v13boot3 kernel. Using the v13 cleanup patch with any other kernel can possibly mess with your phone and require a Odin to JFD. (1st hand experience)
Thanks for this great post, followed it and was able to install ICS Passion on my vibrant. I have a quick question, now all the carrier names are displayed as numbers. Do you know of any fix for that.
One more thing i want to add is that my camera/video was not working and i had tried couple of different roms but all gave me this error "Camera failed". But now its working like a charm. Cannot post in dev forum right now but would like to thank the developer.
No wipe is a must.

The Kiss kernel is included with EuphoriaRC1, but Kiss v2.2 was released afterwards. Kiss v2.2 also solves many problems people were having kernels included with Passion starting with v12 to v13rc1, i.e. GPS w&w/o deepsleep and also Speakerphone issues.
ok so here im gonna give you guys the recomended roms and top 5 rom list for Samsung galaxy S1 ONLY! (based roms on ICS and 2.3.X)
THE BEST rom was chosen by considering ALL your needs: speed, design, good battery life, A LOT of features+settings+oc costum settings, updated.
for the full information of all the roms' features and full rating go to www.topgalaxyroms.webs.com this is a very good useful site with good information! very good site! this is very helpful and I took my new room from their very happy!
update! ive added my own experience for each rom during the last month..
update- the website has just updated! new information check this out (4/25)
TOP 5 roms (ICS)
AOKP rom (im using this now. my own experience- very good+stable rom.. a lot of settings)
Doc's Master ICS 4.0.3 (stable+fast.. have a lot of settings too)
gummy (never checked it)
MyICS (my own experience- have some annoying bugs and not so good)
Dark night ROM (not so fast and have some bugs)
top 4 roms (2.3.X)
CM7 (my own experience- so fast+ stable system+ a lot of settings!!)
MIUI (never checked it)
gamerz rom (my own experience-very fast and stable rom!)
F1 Galaxy S (my own experience- fast+ stable rom )
top 3 kernels (ICS)
devil (my own experience- very good kernel, stable make your rom be faster+ bigman options!)
midnight (never checked this)
glitch (my own experience- has some bugs whenever enabling bigman function)
top 2 kernels (2.3.X)
semaphore (my own experience- very good kernel make your rom faster and good OC)!
glitch (my own experience- made little problems with my rom)
please note:
*roms with bugs are non included neither here nor the website. example:CM9 has a lot of bugs(http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-I9000:Known_issues) so that's why he is not included here for those who wondered..
according to the website, ALL the roms (both for ICS +2.3.X) have been checked and NO BUGS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND THE ROMS ARE TOTALLY STABLE
i am using docs master 1 month so far and its amazing!
so i know this website includes true information.
and you should go to this site for the full rom list, full comparsion, checking and more..
good luck!!

True.
What is the definition of "true information" and "all roms are bug free and totally stable"?
(from OP)

Slim ICS is the Best
well I did not put CM9 cuz as far as I know, CM9 rom includes a lot of bugs doesn't it?
and Ive tried a lot of roms from here too
and if something is wrong- ill fix it
Some are running CM9 without "many" bugs. some say it's even stable enough to show to your friends.
On that bombshell everyone runs whatever they see fit, and just "cruising" through the DEV section one should make a pretty good idea what is being in the top used ROMs.
There is no this is better than this, for 80% of ppl owning a SGS1 probably what was pre-installed on their phone was better than it was for the rest of us "kids" playing with fire. From experience I tell you that what works for you is the best ROM - heck there are still strong supporters of FROYO (if you know what I mean ).
Hi guys,
i know that Thread is kind of lazy but my girlfriends Galaxy S1 (Stock 2.3 ROM not rooted) is soooo damn slow and i wanna help her with a new ROM,Kernel etc...
Myself is using the newest ICS Release on my HTC Desire but i readed and informed me everyday for best performance.
At the HTC Desire topic im very well-informed but the Samsung topic is extremly new for me...so only thing i did : Stock 2.2 to Stock 2.3
(Kies is bull**** xD ?!?!)
I would like to root my girlfriends Droid but i dont know which ROM or Kernel should i chose...there are sooo much.
Because of that...guys: Whats the best, smoothest and especially stable ROM (especially for girls^^) whatever Gingerbread or ICS...i think JB is not smooth enough like on Desire :/ (too much issues etc)
It would be pretty if someone could help me so that i can boost the performance of my girlfriends phone on the best and stable way.
THX
Try stock android 2.3.6 ZSJW4. Root it with CF Root and she will be fine. Very stable and smooth with no bugs. Yoy can find it on Sammobile.com
For Gingerbread I recommend the Samsung stock roms, which are pretty stable.
See this thread for official GB firmwares from Samsung (includes also a guide for flashing stock roms with Odin).
See this thread for CF-Root, a basic rooted kernel for stock GB roms (it's the stock kernel with added su binary, SuperUser app and CWM recovery).
See this thread for Semaphore, an extended kernel for stock GB roms.
I only tried Cyanogenmod 9 as ICS rom so I can't recommend any other ICS rom, but CM9 is pretty stable (I'm using RC2 atm and have no big problems). To install CM9 or other ICS based roms, you need to install CF-Root or Semaphore first (through Odin), to get CWM recovery.
thx guys, but
@ c_codrut: i don't think that TouchWiz is a good choice...because its still boring and slowly
@stbenz: thanks for your informations, i will look at this. But im intrest about the CM9 Stuff on Galaxy S
I also use CM9 for my desire but its not officially supported...its an ROM from xda (DK-Zero) and its know very stable and without any big issues.
But i used it since 2012/04..and at this time it was very buggy...no mic no camera etc...for me no problem but for her xD not acceptable^^
But my problem is that myself can fix problems on my device and can live with it...but i dont want that my girlfriend need help with every update or something else...she should use the ROM as an almost stable and for daily-usable ROM.
I know that i should or could test it but its not my device and i couldn't walk all day with it^^ (hope you understand this )
It would be cool, if see could use ICS by CM or what about the AOKP ? (i missed that for my desire :/)
So best thing would be a almost stable ICS ROM....i/she dont need that Samsung UI i guess.
CM9 RC2 (from 2012-07-19) or the Nightly (from 2012-08-07) ?
or what about AOKP (Milestone 6) ?
cm9 + latest devil kernel :highfive:
AOKP milestone 6, semaphore 1.3.0s kernel. Fast, stable and she‘ll have unicorns.

Try Cm9 Rc2 very stable

With cm9 all hardware works except for fm radio. Some are reporting, that the latest nightlies are more stable than rc2, but thats most likely because bugfixes for bugs reported for rc2 are already merged to the nightlies. But I also think we are not far away from the next rc/final version, so if you don't want to flash too often, you could wait for the next rc/final version.

This guy knows what he is saying. Use CM9 RC2 and Devil Kernel and you got yourself a blazingly fast winner!
ok, guys THX!!!
i will start with CM9RC2...was my favorite anyway
And when i update the ROM ...does it works like on Desire (wiping cache and dalvik) installing newest RC or Nightly?
Or the Kernels needs often to be update?
Hey, I am using this ROM and I can only say it is extremely good, a real revelation after using Froyo and GB. I had some issues with CM9 but it was also great and superfast. i9000 with ICS is like a completely new phone!
Hope this helped a bit.

The kernel gets flashed every time you install an update, so if you have an alternative kernel, you have to flash it again every time you flash a new CM9 version. You also have to flash gapps after every update.
Girls will like MIUI ROM. Its beautiful and have custom theme... try it out.

Hi guys...im back and finished my work
I rooted with Odin and hopefully with the correct Kernel.After that i made a NAND-Backup.
So i wiped everything and flashed CM9 RC2 and the Gapps...and everything was smooth and cool
But so far i didn't flashed the devilkernel yet...the CM-kernel seems ok.
So my question whats the Pros and Cons of the Devil-kernel compared to the CM-builtin-Kernel?
I think batterylife is important than extreme power and high batteryloss, i guess for her ^^
BTW: To make CM more female, i installed a pink theme and a pink clock widget for my girlfriend, she's happy now
And again guys...THANKS...it was very interesting to flash and root an other device (brand) and i saw the differences, Pros and Cons!
In my opinion Rooting on desire was easier and not needed as much informations and readings ^^
I hope she get no big problems but i not averse to work on her device too^^
And im jealous that her ROM runs so stable...on Desire its also stable but the Videocam doesnt work ...damn :crying: (very choppy)
But there isn't a official CMsupport or 100% HWA
i don't know about the devils kernel, but i can definitely recommend the ICS semaphore kernel http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
just remove the spaces.
using the smartassV2 govenor, etc, my phone's battery lasts about a day longer than it did on the cm9 kernel
Ok, i also use this governor on my desire and an extra sleep state governor
...the smartass v2 rocks !!!!

woooow nice THX...but lol...i finished my work 2 days before xD
So is it possible to flash the stable Version over the RC2?without any negative aspects?!
The update process is like desire? wiping Cache and dalvik an flash the New Version?
Sry for these noob question but i want a good running system for my girl and cannot test the system many days like on my device

You just flash the stable over RC2, flash the google apps, and that's it. No need to wipe anything. If in doubt, make a nandroid backup before flashing.
Hi all, there are many roms un development section but i m confused which one to flash...can someone help me? Which one is the fast smooth JB rom? And with which kernal?? Currently using PA2.54 very slow...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
There is dozens of this exact thread in the Nexus S forums. A few active and talking right now in this very sub forum. Its all a matter of personal opinion. Do some searches, read some reviews, flash and try and base your decision by your use cause no one uses their phone the same way with the same signals.

You seem new to roms, its probably best for you to start out with this combination:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 Nightlies
Kernel: Default CM10 kernel
or
ROM: Rasbeanjelly
Kernel: Trinity kernel
Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry
Kernels: Marmite, Matrix, Trinity, Air
You can find all of them here.

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.
Here's the link to stock, rooted, deodexed 4.1.2 rom: http://d-h.st/t7o
_thalamus 4.1.2 kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlc10xyx1...3.0.31-666_rel-9-g76bb0a5-20121016-213036.zip

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.
Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.
Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

Hi, I just rooted my Nexus S (Mobilicity) the first time and I have some question here:
1. Should I just install this CM10 nightly cm-10-20121115-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip (seems to be the latest) ?
2. I found gapps 4.2 here ]highonandroid.com/android-apps/googleapps-4-2-for-android-jelly-bean-roms-gapps/, Can I use this for CM10?
3. Do I need to flash radio for CM10?

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Thanks for your advice, I am using CM10 now. cheers!!!
Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:
ROM: CodenameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth
