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

Having ran this and onecosmics i9000 port myself I can say that yes it is indeed ICS.
Just to let you know passion has the mute/unmute bug. Some people can live with it....I find it too annoying tbh. Everything else is really smooth and fast though.

Looks like Paranoid is CM9 based so nearly no bricking risk there
Kingdriod is based on an official Kernel, so big risk of bricking .
I could be quite wrong here though.. do your own research.

Reading the first few post in the paranoidandroid thread...
The install looks very intimidating for new flashers.
And to complicate things, there is a list of prerequisites and DONT'S. IF.......
So Im freaked out by it all, but do want to install it..
My experience so far is to.. D/L the German XXLPY and install via PC Odin.
Then root, then Speedmod Kernel..
NOW.. the PA ICS hybrid instructions warns against flashing with ICS already installed with certain kernels.....
I got lost and confused...
{Q} Can I just flash PA ICS Hybrid over what I have got already??
or {Q} do I have to go back to GB and a GB kernel first??
thanks for helping out a new flasher.
And dont forget to lecture me to read..read..read.. research....

Kingdroid it's pretty bad, it has very very dirty stuff and useless tweaks, its buggy and drive you crazy after 1 day of use.
The idea of that rom is good but "more" not means better so that guys need to do a clean rom instead a rom full of useless crap.

It's not confusing as long as you get the concept right. Just remember one thing.
All stock Samsung ROM are dangerous and you do not want to flash anything over them.
All AOSP ROM are safe and you can flash over them.
So what happens if you are on Samsung official like LPx, LBx, etc ? First, flash a gingerbread ROM with no wipe and then proceed with the usual flash procedure. This applies for ANY ROM that you wanted to flash not only Paranoid ROM.

Hello,
How are you?
I am a bit tired of Touchwiz and some lag on the phone, so I would like to switch ROMS.
So, I was wondering what is the most pure vanilla ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the Note, wich is stable and has the fewest know issues?
I am sorry for this thread, but there are so many roms developed that it is really hard to choose.
CHeers and thanks!

For an ICS ROM you need to use an ICS kernel. But Paranoid comes packaged with the kernel. By the sound of it you are on GB at the moment. If it's already rooted, do a full wipe then flash Paranoid and the GApps package from the same thread.
If you are already on ICS, do not do full wipe until you have read up on how to do it.

Any downsides to this ROM?

Would a kernel like Speedmod work better with the nightly rom? Or is a stock GB kernel better?
Whichever rom I choose, I need to use PC Odin to revert to GB before flashing anything, right?

Why would anyone use cm9 If Paranoid Android is the same with much more features..

You can use modded kernels with PA, but only cm based ones like AniDroid/bbq etc.. and not the touchwiz ones like speedmod/franco.
To install, follow what the post above says, or as you mentioned use Odin to go back to gb, root/install cwm, full wipe then install Paranoid Android.

As stated above cm9 only uses cm9 based kernel, you don't have to worry about that, it will install itself when you flash the ROM.

Because not everyone like tablet mod, I've tried PA but returned to cm9 because the phone UI is more suitable for the note .
And then there is the faster update cycle of cm9.

Just my two cents: I found PA to be super buggy in comparison to CM9, the boot splash didn't fit the screen and the UI lagged a lot more, some of the apps were great in tablet mode, but CM9 feels overall far more suited to the Note.

If you want a true Vanilla experience install the 4.04 Stock Rom, you will find the there are now a lot of people using it, it is stable, fast and the battery life has improved. There is a large difference between 4.03 and 4.04 official ROMS.
I have been using it since it came out and I find that it beats everything else I have tried. On the down side the 4.04 kernel still contains the EMMC Bug so I cannot do a full wipe without reverting back to GB.

Stable wise - I was using Team Nyx ICS RC5 and it was quite a good ICS rom. I am now trying TAJB V7.1, which is pretty good but has some annoying bugs still it seems, so my recommendation is to upgrade to ICS if you want the stability. I think the JB roms are better on battery though compared to ICS.

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:

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 !!!!

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.
