guys seriously , if you want to have kickass battery backup and and snappy, i mean snappy as hell, interface then do this ( btw i am using it atm and am very very happy coz i am not missing no calls and the setupis very fast and doesnt have any issues whatso ever )
1.. ODIN ed05 tar ( nothing else , just ed05 tar file ) -
This is the .tar file here .

flash with ODIN in PDA section
Before flashing pl confirm that the MD5 is same as : 75FF53ADA8278A10149CEFF756D7A42D
( this will wipe your data , contacts and everything , but i guess you folks know this )
2.. boot up completely
2.. download and store on your SD card The community rom version 2.0 from this link

here is the main thread for this ROM here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108991
3..shutdown the phone
4.. odin this recovery ( the same way you odined the Ed05 stock )

5.. dont boot , press vol up + vol down + power button and you ll go straight to red recovery ( if the phone boots into the android system then you may have to flash the recovery again )
6.. format data > cache > and dalvik then
from the options choose install zip from sd card and give it the path to the comm rom 2
flash it / install it or whatever you call that.
7.. once done exit recovery and restart the phone
8.. the phone will take like 3 to 5 min to boot
one small messup that you ll have is the comm rom 2.0 link that i have posted aint got no kernel ( as we want to use the STOCK ED05 kernel ) also the com rom doesnt have boot animation files as well so while booting up you wont see the galaxy S logo or the verizon logo , it ll be blank , but i guess thats not much .
once booted , have a rocking time with the awesomest and snappiest rom ever.
ABOUT MIUI , well it certainly looks eye candy , but it was sluggish , and i faced quite many force closes on it , so wouldnt recommend it and personally i love the touchwiz interface .
DISCLAIMER : Me aka joshm and / or RIMWEB arent responssible if the above procedure makes your phone explode on your face :P , or there emerge some legs and other stuff to it and it runs or flies away , or may be goes dead. YOU HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY WARNED
