As the title says, what's your favorite ROM and why? Why didn't you stay on that rom and go to the one your on? Or you can explain a short review/experience with them.

Hmm, I've always flashed roms by Team Whiskey.
I think out of all of them, Nero v5 and Bionix-V 1.2 would tie as my favorites as of now.
Both are extremely snappy and smooth. The battery life is incredible. As of now, I'm currently running Bionix-V 1.2 and as of this last charge, my phone has been off the charger for 51 hrs (17% left) with light/moderate usage.
TBH, I could've stayed on Nero v5, but I just moved on because I wanted to experience the new hotness from TW.
(Actually, that's a pro and a con when it comes to TW: everytime you flash one of their roms, it takes only 4-5 days before a new one comes out and then you've got to debate whether or not to flash the new one, lol.)
my Rom of choice : Di11igaf
Smooth, fast, and good looking.. oh wait.. sorry guys i was looking in the mirrror..
haha JK.. yea this rom is dope.. Blue Version!

As expected, anything by Einherjar Dev Team will be my choice.
That said, this is going to be different for everyone. It depends what you want in a Rom.
Masters roms are always very visually appealing.
TW is who I studied. They make a solid rom, everytime. They also have access to every kerneler there is, except for freelance supercurio.
EDT is very young but growing fast. These roms are set out to be created as something that does yet exist.
Eugene is the hero of anyone who has ever had to recover from a soft brick. Solid roms.
The lone rom-ers are starting to bring out some very solid products.
Lol, I guess thats all I have to say right now.

I'm a big fan of the team einherjar Roms. they seem to be the most stable to me and have the least amount of issues. i recently flashed bionix V 1.2.1 but i has issues trying to download apps from the market even after reflashing like three times. needless to say i flashed back to trigger 2.0. thats just my 2 cents.
Nero v3 because it had the best battery life. But i dont want to revert back because bionix has some things that nero did not and i will take them over the battery. But yea i love battery and have heard that axura has excellent battery life.
Cyanogen mod 7
Pretty stable, fast and statusbar widgets.

Hey everybody, I just order a Fascinate today and was interested in what ROM you guys/girls prefer to use. Im switching from a droid 2, and previously a droid 1, which had a great ROM community. I think its fantastic that there are so many Galaxy S phones but I think it is unfortunate that Roms are not applicable across models.
In addition to selecting what rom you are using it would be great to say what works great and what is still buggy. Please let me know if I forgot anything.

Welcome to the community!
Personally, I've been using jt1134's Super Clean with AOSP. Bubby323's Magic with AOSP is looking very promising. I tested version 0.2 for a couple days. and I think 0.3 will be a winner.
We're just getting started here in month 2 of the Fascinate's release, and there has already been some spectacular progress, mainly in the kernel department. There are some familiar names from the D1 community at work over here, and once FroYo drops for this phone, things should REALLY take off! (Seriously, who wants to work on a version of the OS that is already out of date, and will be replaced any minute now?)
I am loving that Blue Breeze!
Actually thought there would be more out there by now. Or at least some themes. I am sure, in time!

so how are you liking it compared to your droid 2?
using Zinc V1.0 right now. So far i'm liking it, but there's not a whole lot of difference in anything right now. I've tried jt's clean, blue breeze, aosp magic and Zinc, and they're pretty much all variations on a theme. not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm simply saying whatever you pick you can't go wrong, and it's easy to change anything you don't like about any one of them.

Both roms are fast, and have used both for at least 3 days(Trigger 2.6.2); both have excellent battery life.
I like Trigger's theme and look more.
BUT, Bionix 1.3 has 343mb Ram.
So, my vote goes to Bionix on that virtue.
Can't go wrong with either though
Trigger, with the OverStock Kernel = Heaven for me.

To be fair, you can get 343mb on any rom you choose. It's the overstock kernel that allows the 343mb ram
With that said, choose which you like better

Right now I'm on Trigger. Bionix was my favorite, however I had some issues keeping connectivity to my company e-mail with it that I haven't had on Trigger. Otherwise, Bionix was fast and the battery life was amazing.
I have been using Bionix since Nero V and haven't encountered a problem yet. Yes Bionix. I tried Trigger once, i like them, but went back to Bionix.
does both ROMs support ffc?

I believe both do. I don't think what ROM you are using will affect the FFC if you have have SGSTool or something along the lines of that and other softwares you need on your phone for FFC.
Trigger, stable, fast, reliable. Add overStock to it and you will fall in love with your phone all over again, just like the day you got it! Plus, Birg makes sure the ROM gets only better and better with every release, just when you thought it doesn't get better than that!
Can't go wrong!

Ah, my bad. Didn't see that 2.6.4 has the option of Rom w/Overstock in 1 flash =)
This thread was kind of pointless. Of course people are going to choose what they currently run. If they didn't, why would they run it?
So, basically.... let's go ahead and sum up everyone's opinion on XDA. More people have downloaded and installed the Bionix series. Is this because it's been around longer? Possibly. Is it because Team Whiskey followers are persistent? Possibly.
I have personally tried both. I'm sticking to what I know and what I know are Team Whiskey's ROM's. Trigger is a machine though, I can assure you.
Happy choosing

The key here is the overstock kernel, you can flash either bionix, trigger, axura rom then flash the lastest overstock kernel over it. Then start kicking ass!
I flash overstock on top of axura, got a quarant score of 1839 and a neocore of 64.9.
I was a steady user of Bionix for quite sometime but I must say, Trigger has made a believer out of me. As it's been stated, the Overstock kernel will crank your phone up to 11 no matter which rom you use, but I dunno, Trigger just seems to hit a sweet spot for me.
Try them both, it's insanely easy to switch roms these days. Haven't ran into a bootloop or anything in ages.

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.

I havent used a FroYo ROM in quite sometime because i moved onto CM7 and now ICS, but i got my mom a Vibrant today and i was wondering what the most solid and fastest ROM is, I remember Bionix 1.3.1 was always great, but has anyone made a super killer FroYo ROM that you would suggest?
P.S. I am just looking for something that works with no kinks, GPS Working and good battery life.

Yep, I'd go with Bionix if you want a good, solid ROM with no kinks. I ran it for more than six months, and I loved it. Good GPS, great battery, just a solid ROM all around.

he meant deprecated, not depreciated. meaning, it is old, out of use, and has been replaced (i.e. obsolete due to a newer, better version). i'm guessing 'deprecated' got autocorrected.

That's true. It's like asking which ice cream flavor is best. So try a few and see what floats your boat. But be careful though - if you start with ZenDroid you probably won't get around to flashing anything else.

I think Bionix is the most solid to date, but thats stating that we haven't perfected a 2.2.1 rom!!!
I am surprised no one has mentioned either Toxic8 or Deranged9. I have had nothing but solid, stable experiences on both if them. I feel that nearly all the Froyos are about as stable as they can get at this point.
ICS has taken over as the flavor most wanted, so not much on the future horizon for Froyo.
They all felt the same....just different features...
