Best rom? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right now I have narrowed to following on 2 factors
style (looks etc...)
and
ease of installation
Which do you think is the best
Trigger, Bi-Winning, or Juiced Extreme?

im running juiced extreme and im in love with it, but hte best rom is the one that suits u best, if u have the time, give all of them a whirl

You really ought to try one of the Simply roms. They look great and there very smooth and fast. My second choice after that would be Trigger.

None if those, try the one in my sig. Best gps, smoothest ever, good looks and best quadrant scores. Plus the multi-language support.
In short, best rom ever.

I'd try a bunch of them tbh. See which one pleases your eyes. That's what I did, ended up with either bionix or Bi-winning.. TW bionix wouldn't install and Crysis theme won't work with the original bionix so chose Bi-Winning for the widgets, looks, and speed...just gotta wait for more themes now.

I would suggest Bionix-V. I'm currently using a different ROM though.

Favorite ROM and why?

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.

Bionix v 1.3! I have been using it moderately since 9:00 and it is now 12:10, only had time to charge it to 87 this morning. Now, 3 hours later; the battery is still at 76, so 11 percent with moderate usage. Amazing battery!! Would be on frost, but it didmt work very well on my phone for some reasons dn I love the black of bionix v

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.
True...

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?
Yes

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!

I've been running trigger for a few days now. It really is a top notch rom. Plus if you read thru the trigger thread you will see how much the devs help people out. Give it a shot you wont be sorry.

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

You really need to try them both for looks and feel. What I like best may not look good to you. Flashing is a big part of the fun running a vibrant
Yea both a good!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
bionix... its super fast, and looks so slick
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.

Trigger vs. Bionix

Okay so in terms of speed smoothness and stability what is better;!

In my opinion the Simply Galaxy is better than both. I've used all 3 roms and this one is blazing fast and responsive. I would suggest just trying all 3 and seeing which one you like the best. I have been using this rom since it came out ands there's been so many updates making it even better. Its also 2.2.1 the others aren't. Again in my opinion this one kicks ass. Good luck hope this helps.
Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey 2.7.2
w/Overstock 1.4.2

I'm pretty sure he wants a option between the two, thanks for your opinion though.
I say Trigger, for me atleast.
Trigger just FEELS smooth. Bionix is smooth as well, i won't lie, but its the feeling..
Trigger is FAVORITE rom besides Axura and whitehawkx's GB and CM7
but to get the feel, i suggest you try them both out, because most of the people who reply will tell you its a personal opinion/option thats plays the biggest part in the rom vs rom threads.
Try em' both, flash the one you like out of them, then after a week, get something new.
I agree, Trigger........ not just smooth and very nicely done, better battery life for me. my 2-cents
Trigger is more up to date and is getting regular updates. For that reason alone I would pick Trigger. I also like it's theme better.
I dont like blue much so I flashed the ginger theme

darkslide is one of the 2 best roms for the droidX sillies lolzz
VirusRom's AirborneTB rom is amazing... I liked rc1b2 the best.... but I am waiting to desense rc1b3
cool ill check out virus first
From the popularity I've seen, it looks like Das BAMF is one of the most popular, and then I'd put virus in second. But I really don't know, I'm just going off the most activity and questions I'm seeing about them.
I am using Perfect Storm!
It works for me...I love it!
this is a question if you ask 10 people...5 will say this and the other 5 will say that....
you have to try them all and come to your own conclusions of wjhat works for YOU!!!
Another vote for Das BAMF for the most popular.
I really like Tesla coil it has been amazing not to mention it is pretty much desensed, and it is themed and has a very fast performance
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Das BAMF and Tesla Coil have the best performance in my opinion so it's just a matter of whether or not you want sense (I don't so I'm using Tesla with adryn's newest BAMF kernel b).
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
This is my first android... so before i go exploring what the world of Roms can do, I opted for the Perfect storm.. I'm loving it, its faster and seems to save a lot of battery. I'll start changing roms maybe later when i'm bored, but for now... i want to enjoy the format HTC has provided.
I've tried more than a few, so far Perfect Storm v1.2 seems the best, fastest, best battery life, most stable
Virus just released B3, senseless coming today hopefully.
As stated before, you can ask all you want, but what works for person #1 wont for #2 and #3. Thats the great thing about options. We haz them
I've been using TeslaCoil and it's running silky smooth with no OC... I've tried Virus rom as well, the boot animation rocks and it's also smooth

I tried tesla but missed sense too much so das bamf gets my vote its just a perfect mix.

What's the best ROM out right now???

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!!!

All of them lol cm7 , trigger, bionix, and bi winning with bullllllllllet .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
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*
