Eugene OR TeamWhiskey 2.2
- Thread starter jzero88
- Start date
LOL well in this case the Team Whiskey rom is mostly unmodded touch-wiz thus the reason it makes a good base. All the key base files are all from one vibrant build. Yes they had modded and tweaked but it is essentially all one touch-wiz source..
Eugene was forced to take a different approach as he did not have a unified source to work from until today. His is a mix of AT&T and I9000 files with some vibrant mixed in I believe.
It is amazing what Eugene was able to accomplish. I am keeping a VERY close eye on both dev's and expect to see master jump in soon as well.
Team Whiskey Roms are great. That being said, I'd stick with Bionix Final or Bionix Fusion until an official 2.2 comes out for the Vibrant. There are lots of little things (like random force closes in various apps, for example) which more than likely aren't related to the roms at all that make the novelties of JIT and flash less worth it.

Eugene and TW are BOTH great. like everything else in the world this is relative. relative to personal preference. i think the poster that made the point of Eugene having more experience with the 2.2 version might have a valid argument. but, on the other hand, TW is the poop when it comes to perfecting software. so.... maybe Eugene and TW can get on the same team. Eugene can swap the knowledge he's gained with TW and they can all get caught up for faster progress. after all... open source IS the name of the game. right boys?
For me it comes down to Wifi calling in R9 vs the use of the full T-mobile leak in Obsidian V1. I'm going to start with R9 and if I can't handle it as my DD, then I try out Obsidian V1.
Edit: I just noticed R10 is out. It looks like more general bug fixed. I imagine with the full leaked release in Eugenes hands to work from, it can only get better as more updates come out.
Edit: I see that Wifi calling is also listed for Obsidian V1. Not sure how I missed that. Eugene says R11 is right around the corner, so maybe I'll try our Obsidian V1 first and then R11 when it drops.

According to the XDA homepage, the Macnut thread is more popular today than the Obsidian thread.
My take
I've used both TW and Eugene roms. Both have good points and ppl are loyal to one or the other depending on their needs and understanding of the rom. Where I think TW does a better job is; on the play by play explanations for install and do a better marketing writeup (more enticing descriptions). Beyond that, it is a personal preference. I personally like Eugene's roms better, no real science behind the statement but I have never had a hang or anything not work. But that is just me.

We get it, you're angry that you lost your internal storage however that could have happened with any ROM.
No need for cheap shots.
I ran both roms eugene put out and tw's 2.2 for a few hours each today. i personally like the look of eugenes roms better, but tw's obsidian is more complete...less issues with obsidian. I f your familiar with the "2.2 race", you also know there was some sketchy-ness going on. Give eugene a few days and his rom will be the better one, imo.
...I seem to still be having data issues with both roms
Not as good reception and losing data for almost a minute when switching from 3g to edge and back...I have always had a very solid 3g signal at home and ive been using edge half the day...

Ive been running bionix fusion 1.2 so far havent experienced any issues so far. 1.1 had a couple small issues for me but overall was pretty good. As someone else has said no two vibrants are a like. So far i have only used Team Whiskey roms, but have no real loyalty for either. Props go out to both for doing what they do best, and giving us a bunch of options to chose from.

Well I try everything, so I'm trying Macnut R10 and Bionix Obsidian. And I'll settle on whichever one works overall best to my needs. This stuff is so easy to personally evaluate that you really don't need to do anything but simply go see for yourself.
My two cents... YMMV.
Well as my sig stats, I'm into Bionix - Team Whiskey releases, really other than a problem with exchange calendar synching this has been pretty stable.
All the previous Bionix releases we're way stable for me never having a single issues with any of them.
But we'll see how things shake out over the next few days...

Both camps are very talented and put out great stuff. I'm going hold off on either 2.2 setup for a bit, I'm running Bionix Fusion and I'm quite happy!

Both of them have bugs but Eugenes seems to be worse. I'm waiting for official FroYo. It's not worth the stress.
I say give them both a try.
And these ROMs are really getting a bad rep - they aren't as buggy as it has been portrayed.
95% of the people with bugs will post on those threads.
95% of the people who have the ROM running great won't post.
Just facts of how forums work.
Honestly, there are people who are reporting issues that make it clear that they shouldn't be flashing ROMs at all. If you don't know a ROM has the possibility to wipe, and you didn't back up, stay on stock and wait patiently for the OTAs. If you don't go through the steps of rebooting, reflashing, and ODINing to stock and then reflashing, before posting any bugs, then again, stay on stock and wait patiently for the OTAs.
These Froyo ROMs have been as buggy as any other Eclair ROM for the most part. These past couple of days have just been insane

All these MODs are flaky, tw, eugene, master et al. Have tried them all and multiple versions. Just goes to show how bad Samsung effed up this phone that the modded ROMs are still a better experience than stock.

No they're not. I keep going back to stock JI6, it's the best thing out once you mod it up a bit with the MobileAP, Captivate Camera, etc.
