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*

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!

Super Clean ROM with the puzzle lock screen running Dirk's D02_SV1200 kernel with lagfix turned on. So fast, and so much faster than my Eris.

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.
Hello XDA im a eris-aholic and im looking for a froyo rom with flash. So far ive only found 2. 1 roms that have flash but no 2.2's or am i missing something? Pls help!!
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
The only one that I know of is the KaosLegendary v.19 ROM. It's a Wildfire Port, but is very visual rough and still in the alpha phase but flash does really work (probably thing that works really well as of right now). Hope this helps :3
Edit:
The reason for this is that to have Flash 10.1 of the Eris you either need to port it on the back of another 2.2 sense ROM or build it on top of out default 2.1 sense ROM with flash lite. Most (maybe all) other 2.2 ROMs for Dorid Eris are ASOP (cyanogen) which doesn't work well when mixed with the Eris and Flash.

Ok so I'm. Going to assume that install through pc to kaos 37 also wouldn't work well then. Is like to have the best of both worlds but legendary is still alpha and kinda funky atm IMHO. any other input would be great
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I've had flash running on every 2. 1 sense Rom that I've flashed, but so far no luck with the 2.2 because they are all cyanogen. As of last night or the night before, the htc gratia was ported to the Eris. It's the first "working" 2.2 SENSE Rom for us. Only problem is that its still very very rough.. setup is in Chinese, no WiFi, camera issues, and to turn it off you have to do a battery pull. So, maybe in a few weeks some of our great devs will have that Rom running smoother and reliably, and maybe then, flash will work on it. Even then, there may still be issues =/ we'll see tho! Hope this helps!

IMO Tenzo is on the forefront of making a useable functional 2.2 Sense ROM for our Erii.
+1 for Tenzos 2.2 Sense rom.
So far I've demo'd them both and tenzo is definitely closer to completion even though it still has bugs.... ill probably go with tenzo unless kaos pulls this through quick

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

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 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.

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 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.

Seriously, I know its my rom, but its probably the most stable and up to date (last updated on Black Friday) froyo rom we have rolling 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...
