What do you guys think the best all around rom is? I'm currently running trigger 3.0.0 and battery life and stability is GREAT but it isn't as nice or cool looking as CM7 or MIUI. I've tried almost every rom out there and I can't seem to find the perfect rom with looks, customization AND stability so i want your opinion.
If you can handle no gps, poor battery and not powering off your phone to charge the battery, CM7 is amazing.
I was running CM7 for about two weeks but the battery life was horrible so I switched back to Trigger. It's the best rom in terms of looks and customization but the battery life was bad and I couldn't figure out how to use my FFC. Great rom just not stable enough.

Try the EDT's 2.2.1, also when you say Trigger is not stable you might be doing something wrong.

Oh I was referring to CM7 when I said it isn't stable.
I've been using Bionix 1.3.1 since it came out, and love it.
Stable, fast, great battery, great everything really.
1.3.2 is even better!
Absolutely no hiccups with Bionix 1.3.2
The more I read Bi-Winning is in tip top shape too
running bi-winning with no problems. with overstock kernel. kb5 modem.
BIONIX V 1.3.2....
Runnin' something from TW!
Definitely not Bionix ;] but seriously try Bionix, or TOXIC FIRE (I capitalized it because it's better)

It's almost stupid how outrageously fast it is!
Here I was thinking 1.3.1 was fast, this just blows it away and it hasn't even been officially released by TW yet.
If, as a test, it's this fast I can't even imagine what the final thing will be like!
Bionix is old and ive found trigger to be superior.
But recently ive dropped trigger too in favor of bi-winning since v2 came out
Now im running galaxy xtreme v2.1 and so far it seems to be the absolute smoothest of all the roms ive tried

Trigger + overstock kernel is very stable for me with 12 to 15 hours battery life plus a great gps locks within 30s

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.

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!

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

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.
it's been a while since i've been here. i have noticed my phone lagging more now with bionix 1.3.1 (2.2) and wondering if i should update to 2.2.1 or 2.3 or higher, and which roms are top of the class since bionix is done.
thanks!
I actually recently flashed Heathen's Private Stock 2.2.1 and I gotta say I'm impressed. Although it doesn't come with Voodoo Lagfix, the ROM gets amazing battery life and runs extremely smoothly
toxic baby + fugu tweaks + voodoo is smooth as silk... throw in juice defender and watchdog and you have a ridiculously long battery life..

I think a fresh install might help ur situation, I really wouldnt say Bionix or TW for that matter is done. Bionix is still one of the most developed for ROMs in terms of MODs and themes.
Although if u wanna try out some others there are some great options out there. If ur looking for a real change of pace try searching for Atriarc its an EDT release 2.2.1 running the arc launcher! Its titz dude and the bootanimation iz wild! Not sure if its supported here tho you might need to float over to their forums.

What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.
CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.
With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.
You could also try Asgard

Did someone say MIUI lags? You must be "doing it wrong" because it's a far cry from Froyo when it comes to lag. MIUI is by far the smoothest ROM I've used, and the few issues that exist are pretty minor, at least with build 1.9.23. GPS works great too, if not better than Froyo.
I just picked up a Vibrant, coming from a sprint htc hero, and I'm looking for some opinions on what rom would work best for me.
My main concerns are;
-Stability
-Speed
-working GPS
-battery life (doesn't have to be great, but I don't want to charge twice a day either)
I'm willing to go without some customization options if it means a more stable and fast experience. The phone is currently on the stock 2.1 so my guess is anything will be an improvement. What do you guys suggest?

I haven't ran across toxic7 yet, I'll have to check it out.
I think many will agree, Bionix 1.3.1 is one of the most stable roms created for the vibrant. Pair that up with an undervolted kernel, such as bali, overstock, or superdragon_modz, and you got yourself stability heaven with decent battery life and GPS. My $.02. I'll include the links if you want to check them out.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
My vote goes to Bi-winning V3. Its super smooth and fast with zero issues. Battery life is good, and it comes with the Bullet kernel that is capable of over clocking if your into that.
I started with Axura, went to bionix - both ran fine. GPS got within 60 feet on average. Hey - a garmin it ain't -
Tried a few GB ROMs, but since GB isn't 'out' for t959, I had concerns re: compatibility to the phone itself using a ported rom. Un-bricking is not how I want to spend my time!
Currently using ToXiC 8 with Immortality kernel and Clean and Shiny theme. Fast. Stable. Using it since day 1 and no rom-related fc's. I tried the scripts jcc provided, but couldn't really see a difference. Battery life after calibration is great. I can use it all day without reservations. GPS will lock quickly, however no matter what ROM I've used, GPS always under-reports highway speed by ~2mph. After applying fixes that Jcc suggests, this phone is great.
Hope this helps.
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.

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.
