[ROM] Axura 2.2.5.7 by Devs4Android (T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant)
[SUMMARY]
A video review of the Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM by Devs4Android for the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant. This version was released on January 1, 2011. This is an Android 2.2 (Froyo) ROM, based mostly off of Samsung's latest (as of the date of this post) Froyo build, JL5.
[HOW-TO]
If you have a Samsung Vibrant that has NOT yet been rooted, instructions on how to get this ROM running on your phone are in the links provided below. You'll need to FIRST, ROOT your phone, and SECOND, FLASH the ROM. Links:

[UPDATES]
Quadrant Scores
The low Quadrant score I originally obtained (994) after a fresh flash of the ROM was due to Voodoo not being initially enabled. According to the Axura thread on xda-developers.com, flashing the ROM was supposed to automatically install Voodoo, but I guess that wasn't the case. After manually enabling Voodoo, my Quadrant score was 1476.
Instructions on how to manually enable/disable Voodoo can be found in the original post here:

Data
After testing the ROM in my special "no-signal-can't-send-text-or-call" location, I was actually able to send and receive text messages and surf the internet. So, this ROM actually has pretty good data and signal throughput compared to my previous daily driver, Ginger Clone Final R2. I believe the JL5 base is responsible for the increased performance.
[NOTES]
I forgot to mention, the Calendar application included in the ROM is the TouchWiz version. Also, minor hiccups you may have seen in the video was probably due to the launcher lagging, not the ROM. The video was shot after a fresh flash so things weren't broken in yet.
