In my opinion Trigger is quite stable and gives no issue for me
I think you make a mistake when you look for others input! Your best bet it to look through the ROM posts, bugs and other inclusions are listed! Most 2.2.1 roms are low to few if not any bugs. 2.3 have theirs clearly listed! Most have screenshots so you can look before you try, and worst comes to worst some use Launcher pro and others you can replace with it.
I would personally recommend sticking to releases from either of these Teams at first as they are more wide spread and any help needed might be found easier. Although if u can i'd try out some from other Devs/hobbyists as well
- BionixV1.3.1 - is [TW] Team Whiskeys' baby http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
- Trigger 3.0.0 - is [EDT] Einherjar Development Teams' baby http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041447
both are 2.2 firmware and probably the most stable and most developed for in terms of MODs and themes.
- Bionix FROST 2.2.1 - is [TW] Team Whiskeys' baby http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966688
- Bi-Winning - is [EDT] Einherjar Development Teams' baby http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016652
both are 2.2.1 firmware and from the two leading development teams for our Samsung Vibrant T959.
My personal favorite is Malice by Dan_Brutal[EDT] but alas it has been pulled from XDA(only for now, hopefully) and your gonna have to hop on over to their forums if you wanna give it a try. Good luck!
It looks like I come down to 2 choices bionic and trigger
So I m gonna try both and see which one I like better

Sweet bro! You should be happy with either and the theme options with both are off the wall. It seems like everyone and their brother is porting themes for bionix LOL! its friggin great! Good luck! and Welcome to the Vibrant community! Hope you fall in love with this phone at least half as much as i have. I would try some other ROMs and such from some other devs and dev teams as well after awhile. Its seriously next to impossible to brick this phone unless you try hard.

this is true for me also.
Bi-winning has a really nice interface, is fast and smooth also so that should be a pick.
I've been really happy with Trigger and Overstock 2.4.1
but try a few out.....I really am looking forward to Dan's new Malice....I was running the Beta until Trigger 3.0.0 cam out....mad props to EDT!!!!

Hi everyone. Was just getting bored and ready to flash something new, but im very happy with trigger 1.5. I am also a die hard axura and nero fan. While I was running axura or nero, there were always themes and cool little "bonus packages" with like flying transistions, battery mods, themes etc. Why no Team Einherjar Rom love?!? Is it because the Einherjar teams roms are all pretty awesomely themed? Any ways, just thought I'd throw that out there, and see if any themers are up to the challenge. In fact, for us flash-oholics, these themes and add-ons give us all something to check out and mess around with while devs are eagerly chipping away at their next masterpiece Anyone else interested in seeing some cool add-ons or themes for some Einherjar Team roms please chime in, or if you like to make themes let us know please if this is something you might want, or would be willing to do. Happy Flashing!
+1 Would love for some themers to get their hands on the Einherjer Roms...

Agreed! I'm on Trigger 1.5 and would love to see some additional themes... running matte black, which I really like.
I'm almost afraid to flash anything over Flagship V3. I've never been so happy. Then Again... A new flavor + no issues would be nice. Really digging tonic's ports lately.
I want professional, sharp lines, easily readable, color, easy on the eyes.
At this point, without source, all Roms by all devs have the same base, using same voodoo kernel. Besides fewer or lesser apps being included and some system tweaks,(minor, lets be honest) they're all running the same. Changing modems or kernels are the only thing that will alter battery life/performance. So at the time being, if you want a theme thats for Axura, flash it and theme it. If you're changing the whole look anyway, what do you think you're maintaining by staying on trigger? They're all KA7 roms with the same kernels.

Check out Tonicacids themes he recently made for Bionix. Sex Panther and the blue on he released last night look amazing on Trigger 1.5. Even though he said that he only tested on bionix v5 I've been brave enough to try them both and they do work and are awesome. The blue one he uploaded last night is a stunner. I too have been flashing all of Einherjar rom and hope they kick out some fresh themes also. I'm sure they will.

The themes do seem to be interchangeable . I'm on Trigger 1.5 running the Androdena theme,very sick looking, it removes the clock and its flashable too. Almost all themes,Axura & Bionix & even Nero5 work on M.Flagship v4 beta. FYI I have had my phone caught in a bootloop a couple of times trying things out on Trigger 1.5. The Team Whiskey themes seem to work better on Trigger 1.5, Axura themes do work if there the 2.2.9.0. You can grab most right out of the Vibrant Theme threads.
Give it to cotten, he'll flash anything....

Hey I am sporting Nero v2 since December on my Vibrant, and am looking for a reliable upgrade. Anyone recommend a fairly bug free rom that is better than Nero v2 to upgrade to? Main thing is that the phone features need to be reliable... Phone calls, and SMS/MMS work. Speed an added bonus.
Thanks much for advice.
I was maybe still a hugh fan of tw but I just started flashing a lot of roms til. Came across Trigger's rom and haven't flashed anything else.
My vote is going to Trigger.
Ps..you might get some **** for not posting this in Q&A. Good luck!

Bionix by TW or Trigger by EDT in my opinion are the best 2.2 roms.

I agree with this. Both are fast and stable. I got better battery and less minor bugs on Trigger though

Trigger is my first pick, and slap the Tiger Blood kernel on it. Then Axura, then TW Bionix. But that's just my opinion. BTW, you should read and post in the right place fam, people get hype for this kind of stuff...... I am a fan of the Tiger Blood kernel just because on my phone at least, it has given me the better battery life thus far.
Moved to Q&A. Please do not post question threads in Development.
I went from nero v5 to loki 2.4 (has been removed though) and was pleasantly impressed how well the 2.2.1 rom ran in comparison. So any of the 2.2.1 flavor roms would strongly get my vote.

I started with Bionix but I just recently flashed Trigger. Trigger is pretty rad.
Same here. Ran several versions of Bionix, got bit by the flashing bug and switched to Trigger. Been running the Overstock kernel for a while but am about to try out Bali.
Let me answer your question with a question:
Which make of car is the best?
If this thread stays serious long enough you will find, like most "Which is the best (insert any tangible object here)?" threads, every ROM will get a few hits.
/sarcasm off
On a serious note I have gone between Eugene's ROMs, Sombionix's ROMs and a few of EDT's ROMs. They all have their perks and for some they all have their short comings. If you want the custom ROM feel with a relatively painless installation, go with the one of the above. If you want something a little more custom go with MiUi or CM7 or a few of the other projects.
I personally use Trigger 2.9.4 with OverStock 2.x and enjoy it quite a lot. In the past I've enjoyed Eugene's MacNut series, nearly all of Som's 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs and EDT's Flagship and Trigger.
tl;dr
Pick one yourself and see how it goes, restoring from a backup isn't all that difficult.

The devs in this forum are so amazing, and their ROMs of such quality, that you owe it to yourself to try them all to find out which you like the most.
well since its already been said like 5 times, I'm just going to agree that I put on trigger 3 rom a few weeks ago and have been running overstock kernel for a while before that. but the 2 together. un-freaking believably awesome.
I repeat.. *ehem*

Wondering which gingerbread or miui is the best as far as stability and features? I have been using ef3.6 for some time with no issues but don't want to get left behind if all the new development is going to gingerbread roms. Please anyone let me know which if any of these would be the best to update to.
My goal is not to start any feuds over which rom is better, just to get some educated info so that all functionality works and is stable and battery not draining etc.
thx
just realized this is probably in wrong forum but not sure how to move. soooooo sorry. will try and figure out.
CM7 is a good one to start of with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
Posting in the correct section might help....
He admitted that he made a mistake which makes him better than 99% of posters on here.
As for which rom is best...its very subjective. Cm7 is a good balance between vanilla speed and addons and tweaks. Miui has a really nice ui overhaul and customizations. Om(f)gb are fast pure android goodness but might have a bit more broken.
You can't really go wrong with any of them and what you like best is inherently subjective. So give them all a try I'd sayn.
And if you are happy with ef, there's no need to jump ship right now. Newer might be objectively better but you might prefer to stick with what works. All of the aosp Roms have minor glitches so you could always wait a couple weeks and reevaluate.

hey as the title says searching for a stable froyo rom for a friend he doesnt like cm7 or anything gingerbread and theres so many to choose from i dont know where to start please and thank you
There really is no Froyo rom here that isn't stable. It will all come down to personal preference. I like ZenDroid. It's smooth and has all of the non essental bloat removed. Bi-Winning v3 is also good. I tend to go between those two. Pair either of those with the Bali 1.8.8UV kernel or DragonMODz kernel, and you've got yourself a slick rom with very good battery. But there are lots of choices so it's really up to you.
Hope this helps
I have flashed every single flashable froyo and cm7/cm7 based roms that I could find on xda and I must say while I liked zendroid and have alot of repect for the developer but overall my favorite recent froyo rom is toxic crazy 8. I used the theme clean and shiny for music and toxic 8 and it is visually beatiful with themed in call screens and everything all included. Its also a super fast rom. I never disable voodoo (some will disagree with me on that) and its super quick to flas any rom within cwm so id try both and decide but make sure to get clean and shiny if you do toxic 8 its great. Ill also throw in that this is yhe first tozic I have used as a daily and even having a daily is rare for me but the dev is always helping people and he is very helpful and never rude, its really cool.

I like Project-V. I don't think I'll switch for a while. Bionix 1.3.1 is good, but the add widgets menu is too cluttered for me. With ZenDroid, I get a bunch of annoying bugs and force closes even after a fresh install from JFD. Bi-Winning wasn't my thing, only tried for a few hours. Same with Bionix NextGen.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the epitome of stable Roms. Your friend should have no problems from it.

Chalk another one up for Bionix! Used to run it and I don't think I had a single problem with it.
I have to agree with Toxic8. Been using it for a few days now after moving from Toxic7. Fantastic battery life, smooth as silk, and rock solid stable.
Whichever was explodingboy70's last updated Froyo rom. Everything worked flawlessly and it looked awesome, not to mention I was getting absurdly long battery life.
Just went back to Bionix 1.3.1 after trying many other roms, its a masterpiece
