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!!!!
I'm currently using the latest Sombionix Rom and I want to check out some others. Can u guys point me in the right direction please... Thank u!!!

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*
UN-FREAKING BELIEVABLY AWESOME

Issue with video recording on XRon
i've been running Xron RC1 for about a week and was stunned to find that everything was working perfectly! Sure enough last night i attempted to record a video of my kids with the standard htc video recording app and I get FC's every time I try and start recording.
I can however use qik and it seems to record and store it well.
thoughts? / suggestions.
Evo 3d
Rooted, rom'd, themed.
I think all the ROMs are about the same speed wise. The question is do you want it to look stock or do you want something thats been themed? Some are heavily themed you wouldn't even know it was the 3D. Others are just a few modifications to better the look. Also the other question is what apps do you want some ROMs are completely striped of everything others are untouched and yet others have just the apps the DEV feels are necessary.
So those are the things you really need to look at and some can only be addressed by actually flashing the ROM and using it. Example flash a ROM and everything is great then you realize that the "Recent Apps" is gone from the Notification Pulldown that maybe a deal breaker for you.
Flash them all take notes see what YOU like and what gets the job done. At the end of the day only you can make the final call.
Ignore the trolls.. last I checked this is the Q&A section guess questions aren't allowed either. Its one of "those guys" they made a mod and some people have left because of it.
Of course I like my ROM the best
tittle says it. im new
Hey there, welcome to the forums.
Well, first of all.. tell me a little bit.
What are you looking for?
Speed? Good Battery Life? Froyo, Gingerbread? Do you care? GPS? etc.
personally bionix 1.3.1 was my favorite for froyo, but if you want Ginger cm7 nighty is the way to go. miui is popular, but for the most part, it turns the vibrant into something completely. . . different.
flash away man. see what works for you. the vibrant is virtually unbrickable.

I use Toxic8 with Bali X 1.2kernel (gingerbread theme) and it is snappy, stable and battery lasts really well. Quadrant (although I despise it) gives about 2000 average.
I even used the GPS to get me to somewhere that MapQuest failed big time. Place was so far out that the roads didn't have names anymore, just numbers. But GPS took me right to the front door.
I'll try it out. Can you send me the links?

I would but that would be too easy. They are in the Dev section. Also there is the "bible" in there too. Worth taking a look at.

I've gone from Cyanogenmod7 to Trigger to Toxic Crazy 8. Cyanogen was horrible, as I was still a noob and it was terribly buggy then.
I suggest toxic Crazy 8. Flashed it a couple weeks ago, and it's beautiful. I decided to stay with Froyo because it's been around longer (more time to perfect it) and it's much more battery efficient. I get 44 hours of light use out of my phone, on one charge (Screenshots soon, I'm busy now...) It's also super smooth, just follow their install instructions. I've never had it lag and I can't stress how amazingly smooth it is.... xD Have fun flashing! Just keep some backups handy...
Edit: I failed to mention I'm running on Bali, OC'd to 1.2 Ghz (It came with Toxic, and I have no reason to change)
Here's Toxic Crazy8
Ok, sorry to bring this Q here. I know i know - go look, search, find out. I hear you.
Been researching for a full day. But somethings require YOUR experience.
I am looking for a stable (!), good-battery (!) and bare-bone (minimal) ROM for my Vibrant.
(maybe my hate from running background stuff comes from ignorance, since I am no wiz when it comes to android)
I use GMAIL, Whatsapp, and Google Voice, and I can't stand running processes
Is there a ROM that you know to be made with this in mind?
Thanks !!!
Bionix 2.2

Sorry to bother U with my ongoing questions.
Is the ROM you sent me the same/better than this one:

Which one should I opt for? I got confused.

the one I sent u is over a year old and is the most stable OG rom. That fishmanmod is the same rom just added some of his own tweaks so it may be better not sure haven't tried it. Its newer so go with the one u posted to see how u like it.

yes, do a search while in the dev section
