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.

Just tweak stuff until you find out what the settings do!
There is a whole cyanogenmod settings menu with a bunch of stuff. It's awesome!!!

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.

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.

someone sounds like a hater...
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.

Just got my nexus s!

Hi just got my nexus s and flashed miui. And so far I'm loving it. Can anyone recommend me good kernels?
Thanks

Strange, but this is exactly the same thing I did lol.
The moment I got home with my Nexus, I immediately flashed MIUI.
Currently I'm on stock 2.3.7 with Wallet. (I've been wowing everyone at McDonalds and Best Buy with that lol)
I came from the dev failure that was, the Epic 4G.

Matrix or netarchy. I personally use matrix it gives me awesome battery life. But they're different for everyone so you will just have to try them out and see which one works for you.

Trinity. for speed/performance or for battery life, and everything in between. theres a version for all

Apocalypse Talon. Snappy, great battery life. Using it with Cyanogen 7.1. Your mileage may vary.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Congrats on your new nexus s. Great device.
As for kernels...well from my experience, i would say netarchy all the way for stability and performance combo. Never had any problems with his kernels. Its got all the usual features such as voltage control, voodoo controls etc. Very stable.
Trinity has been good for some but ive found it too unstable more often than not.
Havent really tried the matrix kernels so cant really say.
Have fun!

Franco kernel is good for cm7 and matr1x kernel is good for almost any rom
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I use CM7 Nightly Build#229 (Best build yet) with Matr1x Kernel. But i agree that Trinity is the best Kernel for MIUI.

I highly recommend franco's kernel with custom UV settings and the lazy governor. Netarchy has been on hold recently but looks like it might be back in business soon.

try NSCollab ROM + matr1x or franco's kernel

I have 58% left after 1 day of normal usage with Matr1x kernel with ondemand enabled. I underclocked it to 800Mhz. That's enough to do my everyday stuff. When I game, I put it higher.

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?

n00b-rom with tiamat 3.3.7 is the best rom around its so smooth and everything works

n00b-rom!?!

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.

I currently use Jr7 simply because it is very similar to stock but with a few nice tweaks. This is used with Motley kernel with GPU @ 520mhz.

id also love to hear what you guys think of the slim bean rom. im tempted, but i love the paranoid roms.
