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.

I've run the gamut from 2.1-4.0 roms for our Vibrant, but Deranged 9 is my favorite. Great Battery life, working GPS, support for tons of themes once it hits final and as fast as CM7....

I have been running Toxic8 for the past six months. Very fast, smooth, best battery life I've had out of the 4-5 ROMS I have run. Lots of options and flexibility. Definitely worth looking at.

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. I am running ICS currently, but I do still support ZD, in the rare occasion that support is needed. There are also vanilla froyo and gb themes available, with or without a multitude of lock screens thanks to contributions from the community.

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 agree with Br1ckd. Zendroid is stable, smooth and the battery life is amazing. Bionixx is good too no doubt but Zendroid seemed to give me better battery life.

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...

WW is a great AOSP rom, and if you wait it out when KaosFroyo is finalized it will be superb to say the least. Diamond in the rough.
I tried it out a while back but I couldn't get a2sd to work so I went back to white widow. But it was pretty fast and smooth.

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.

With about 41 of those hours you sleeping...
I just would like to know a little bit about these ROMs. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks as though there are 4 or 5 different ROMs with the "Einherjar" label on them in the DEV section. At first, quick glance it looks as though the only thing that seperates them is the themeing.
Can anyone who uses these ROMs explain to me what sets them apart from each other, and why you chose to go with them over Axura or Bionix?
Their team is large, different guys work on different projects. It's more than the theming, but there is only so much that can be changed from a user's perspective.
I LOVED the notification bar on Flagship (it changed colors depending on your app/background), and that rom was great... Been using Trigger for a little over a week and it's floored me... just amazing speed/stability.

yah so far it looks like Trigger would be the one i would go with.....ill give it a run later on....i loooove axura, but it can be a themers nightmare when switching between ROMs, and i care about appearance ALMOST as much as i care about performance
I'm a big big fan of Master and recommend it to many.... that said, Trigger is themed more to my liking and has been rock solid. Did you see the videos I put?

V2.0.1

The best way to explain why there are both similarities and big differences in the EDT releases is to explain how we work as a team.
EDT Devs all have a project of their own that is their main area of responsibility. The roms are developed from a stock base - there is an exception to this when it comes to MIUI and the AOSP roms. This Dev has the support of all the other devs when something needs done - this explains the similarities, if one dev does the same thing on multiple roms. There is also members like white and behr who have their on special abilities and contribute to all of the EDT roms.

Stand by battery life is great, as good as stock. When using the phone it drains a little bit faster, your overclocking by 400 so its expected. Overall i would say its as good as stock.

That's a bit over-simplified. It is much more than just 2.2.1 apps on a 2.2 Rom. It does take more to doing that than just placing the apps in there. It requires re-mapping all the apps, replacing and including the necessary lib files, etc.
Please do not continue an arguement that has been settled now that EDT, TW and Devs4Android are no longer at each others throats.

Eh nothing you will really notice. Don't expect a feature filled update.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
Bionix-V is the older more stable version and the Bionix Frost is the newer, in Beta testing development version.
Another difference is that Bionix-V is based on the software that Samsung put on the Vibrant, while Frost is based on the software that is on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Since the base for Frost was originally made for a different phone, more effort is required to make it work on the Vibrant.

I personally like Bionix V. Been using Team Whiskey roms for a while now and they have yet to disappoint. In the end, its just a matter of preference.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Bionix-V seems to have very few bugs. The bugs people are reporting, most users cannot duplicate their problems. Frost, well it still needs some tweaking before it's ready as a "daily driver" as stable/fast as Bionix 1.3
i've tried both. after enabling voodoo on the latest frost, i've noticed a considerable difference from the initial build. bionix is ULTRA stable. there is no doubt that it is the more stable of the two. however, IMHO i haven't noticed a huge difference between the speed or usability of either...if you would rather deal with less "potential" bugs, then i would suggest you go with Bionix V.
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.
