usually cm9 or cm9 kangs as my rom.
now the kernel is the tricky part. its almost always Trinity, but i can use 3 or 4(or more) different versions of trinity in a day. teuv is usually my while-im-at-work kernel, but i can be using t11, t132, or t144 at any given point in the day. sometimes all of them in a day. t144 is usually the kernel i like to use when im playing around. what i like about them is that they work as intended. they are all bare bone kernels(ics versions) therefore dont contain any mods that we've all gotten used to. but that also means that the trinity kernels dont contain any introduced bugs either(that many kernels wrestle with). i know ive not really explained anything, it is what it is

simms22 = only CM rom + Trinity kernel!

I'm using kangs8 ics with eugene kernel speedy5. my favourite combo so far!

I'm using HAKA's KANGY v8 atm, pretty nice I have to say, occasional bug whilst flashing, but probably down to TWRP than anything.
I'm normally running Eugene's speedy kernel, fast, smooth and stable, the right balance of them all. Quite like the Matr1x as well.

I'm using Peter Alfonso's ICS with his stock kernel,no problems so far,the best ics rom out there !

Peter Alfonso is the way to go! to me he had the best GB rom and his ICS nightlies are nothing short
http://download.peteralfonso.com/

I'm using the latest CM9 kang + trinity t11 and it's smooth for me.

I'm using the Virtuous Quattro ICS RC2 ROM
Advanced Info shows kernel version as:

The only issue I have come across which is quite annoying is most videos are extremely laggy- this is irritating because its how I overcome my commute to and from work. For example the opening video sequence for Asphalt 6 HD is extremely laggy but the game plays flawlessly! I have a coupe of avi files on my device as well and they have the same problem. Sound is fine...
Apart from this everything so far functions flawlessly.

I've been using KANGY8 and SPEEDY5 up to now its been the smoothest with no reboots. Rom is butter smooth and that kernal is just crazy stable and fast. Best so far and I've flashed so many rom and kernal combinations.

I'm using AOSP+ rom with Steve Garon's kernel. I actually downclocked to 800Mhz and it gives me better battery life and it is smooth enough.

AOSP+ with Speedy-5, it's awesome.

I tried the new cm9 with matrix 14.5 and it was not stable for me. Then I tried the new gummy nexus and that rebooted every time as well lol.
AKOP 19 with any kernel or cm9 rc0 with glados have been my best combos

Hi, currently my i9023 is installed with stock ICS (ROM and kernel) and frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the performance. The battery performance is, I think, comparable with that of the stock gingerbread.
But now I'm looking for custom kernel to make battery performance even better. Do you guys have any experience what is the most suitable kernel for stock ICS, especially in battery performance area? With so many options to choose for (matr1x, kangs, eugene, and the list goes on and on... ), sometimes it can get confusing ....

Any others that I missed, I will add. If there are any issues with me posting this, message me and I will fix it ASAP. Thank you.
I will also delete ROMs that are no longer in development. WOW we have a lot of ROMs available for Vibrant.
Hi, sorry guys, can't edit the poll but as time moves along I will update the list.

Aokp is VERY slow right now. So far hellybean is the fastest
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app

I havent tried AOKP yet, but from all the posts about how laggy it is, I think you're correct Guess Ill wait a for a few releases, then try it out. I like Hellybean, but for some reason, its a little bit laggy for me compared to CM10 Alpha Preview by FaultException. I think Ill flash the latest kernel and see if that helps.

I am using Hellybean right now it's defiantly fast however I do notice the camera doesn't work with it.... initially when I flashed it it worked when I switched from camcorder to camera then the app pretty much crashes

Can't say that I've tried the others but I know that Jellybro is working for me. Camera is very reliable and all functions seem to be just fine. I occasionally get higher battery drain due to some process keeping the phone in an "awake" state - can't reliably fix that. Overall, pretty responsive and the fact that it seems to "just work" for all the functions I need it to, I'll take it for now.
Only concern for these ROMs is the 911 issue on Vibrant/T-Mobile...

I'm currently using CM10 Jellybro by makelegs. I love it but my battery life sucks right now...:crying:
I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

i'm running jelllybro and it works really well, no random crashes or anything...just its slow!!!
wanna play with it a bit more, maybe try the subzero kernel and see how that works out.
i should give some examples on slow...i use arabic and english for the keyboard...and switching using the dedicated button takes a second or two to switch between languages.
apps are noticably slower than ICZen (which i came from)

I tried slimbean because I liked slimic, but there was noticeable lag.
I really like hellybean. it's very fast and stable. So far GPS is the only thing that doesn't work but I use an external bluetooth GPS so it doesn't matter to me. I thought about getting Galaxy Nexus, but this JB update will likely make me hold on to my vibrant for a while longer.

How do you add /datadata to slim bean? I thought because of potential problem with low memory problem, the dev decided not to use it.
For me I haven't had any problem.

First, wipe data. Then flash the device zip. Then flash the 1.1.3 devil HB kernel. You may need to reboot recovery after. Then flash common.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app

JellyBro is simple and quick. I use it as my daily driver. I had an issue with the camera being laggy, but since flashing the most recent update it's been fine. I have tried using the Devil kernel but had nothing but headaches including my modem getting messed up (had to reflash modem) and SDcard storage being stupid (didn't erase anything, but couldn't read anything either...). So JellyBro stock has been the most stable for me.

I am using CM 10 SKANKY jelly bean. It is fast but CM 10 DEVIL was so fast for me. For some issues i am not using the devil. Now i am using the SKANKY but still there is a problem Gallery and music apps can not find my sd card music and photos. i think i can fix it. Otherwise it works fine.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app

Helly Bean should really be added to the list. I know it's based off of CM10's source, but it's awesome enough to merit its own vote. It's my favorite Vibrant ROM so far, period (not just my favorite Jelly Bean ROM). I donated to the creator, DerTeufel1980, the same day I flashed the ROM. It's that good.

The issue with pics/gallery has been reported on pretty much all the jb ROMs. You can try to clear data from gallery and reboot. As far as music, Google play music doesn't seem to be recognizing music on external SD card or at least this is my experience. I loaded songs on my external sd from my laptop. Initially it played but after a few reboots it won't play. Apollo app does recognize it but for some reason it will add multiples on reboots. You can get rid of multiples by going to settings>apps>all and clear data from media storage. I also clear Apollo data but isn't required, you will lose playlists by clearing Apollo data. This might also allow Google play music to recognize music again.
If all else fails, go to recovery clear cache+dalvik, reflash ROM and reboot.

Isn't the gallery/media issue caused by a recent update to ROM Manager? I think I read that if you either remove it or its update, and delete .nomedia file on the SD card (maybe the update to ROM manager puts that there?). After doing so many people have reported having no more problems.
I will search and see if I can find the original post describing that.
Update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30320427

Now all of problems are gone. I am using SKANKY and for addons I am using HELLY BEAN addons from the link you gave me.

cm10 is said to be better? smoother? faster?

Well, it's a bit different stock rom is really smooth. I think cm10 stable is as smooth as well providing you use cm default kernel. Just try it yourself, it's nice.
However, if you're into looking for new things you may as well try cm10.1 nightlies. I'm amazed by how well it runs. Super fast and looking nice. Just disable lockscreen widgets(if you dont like them like me) and you're good to go

I'm using Helly Bean 4.2.1 right now and i'm not noticing any bug yet. The kernel that comes with it even performs good enough so you don't need to flash a custom kernel.
If you want your phone as bug-free as possible, i suggest flashing MDO 11.10 for now, then flash a CM 10.1 based rom when Cyanogenmod team already released a stable version.

Flash cm 10 stable version!! HUUUGGEE battery life, and perfect as daily driver!

Using CM10.1 nightly as daily driver, and I haven't experienced any bugs, other that the tilt sometimes stop working (reboot gets it to work again)
You can read more about it here (and se what issues other people have experienced) - Remember CM10.1 is only nightly's so far, so always look on the last page of the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058536
CM10.1 is a lot smooter than cm10,
For some reason, i keep going back to CM every time I try something else. There are always something that is buggin me with the other roms.

I have used CM9, CM10 and CM10.1 (nightlies) on my i9023 - CM9 was last one stable for me - worked like a charm. Both CM10 and CM10.1 crashes few time a day (all at default setting) - would not recommend for someone, who need to make sure phone is working - oftentimes can't answer calls, when some other application is running.

Using cm10.1 had some reboots only when tried to overclock. Otherwise it just works without any crashes. You should try to install after full wipe.

Stock kernel?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

brought new nexus 4 and have issue

yesterday i brought new nexus 4 after trading my galaxy s3
i rooted my nexus installed recovery
flashed franko kernel
and installed paranoid rom
now the phone heats up too much even on normal whatsapp chatting
i tried to underclock it from setcpu but still heating is there
later i thought may b my phone doesnt handle paranoid or franco kernal
then i flashed modaco rom
but unfortunately swipe to wake doesnt work
i have still not tested the heating problem
can anyone guide me on setcpu setting or which rom / kernal to try
i am more interested in swipe to wake function

I have similar issues with a lot of Franco releases, some apps like fun run make the phone super hot. I use Motleys kernel, overall way snappier, and battery life is just as good. It's in android original development. As far as rom I use cm10 kang one by trailblazers that's built from linaro tool chain with bionic commits, it is faster than stock cm10 for sure. Try it, both kernel and ROM are built on linaro, good combo.

Super Stable Nexus S Rom?

Hi everybody,
i'm looking for a super stable and long lasting.
I found a lot of topic about "best rom", but they are plenty of little different request like gaming, music playng ecc.
I don't have any of these request, i just require a rom that will stand on without crashing the maximum numbers of hours. Actually my maximum is around 400h with cyanogenmod, i wondering if others rom could do better times.
Thanks for your attention!

CM10?

I used CM 10 to achieve my record.
I wonder if there were others roms with better result (even GB ones)

For gingerbread try oxygen rom it was the most stable rom for me and I came back to it a few days ago I haven't rebooted in the past few days with no slow downs and it still smooth

I have bad luck with slim bean, i tried it before and i had at least one crash/day, even with a clean install.

Another vote for Jellyshot with Marmite here.

+1 for CM10 with Marmite 8.5 kernel. I've been testing all roms... And probably the best tweaked rom i found was CM10 stable one...

+1 for CM10 and +1 for BlackBean6
Gesendet von meinem Nexus S mit Tapatalk 2

Jellyshot or Slimbean gets my vote

metal dragon overlord is the most stable i've tried
paired with matr1x and it should last you a looong time

I recommend:
Rasbeanjelly 11-6-12 Paired with the _thalamus kernel

Guide based on my usage
I've used a lot of roms in my persuit for perfection.. An addiction to flash really, but I have compiled a small list of the roms I've tried. I don't have a favorite, but I have found that once you initially set up your phone, most of the "features" don't really matter. I hope this helps, and doesn't stir too much controversy as I mean no disrespect to any developer(s) as all the roms have their good points.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An4M6zvBOQ1KdExJMDlCZlRwem9zS29Ma1VHRWhCLXc#gid=0
On a side note, I do prefer the Devil kernel, and Marmite 8.5 (smartassv2+row)
**Updated and easier to read**

Been running rasbean for months. Even stable when OCd with morfics kernel and super smooth as well.

i'm on xenonhd and its very stable. its just the launcher that sometimes makes problems, and the homescreen is rotating to landscape if device is turned, which i have not found any way to turn off. but you can remove the google-search bar on top which is nice.
i guess another launcher would solve the problem, but i'm not aware of a launcher which is basically stock, just with the option to turn off the google search bar (and no landscape mode for homescreens). any hints?

Yeah check out nova and apex launcher.

I vote for oxygen rom if you want gingerbread.
I have been using jellyshot 3.5 w/ air kernel lately and it is great
