I've not really found a daily driver list for roms thus far.
What have you found to be worthy of the title daily driver?
I've been here since jl5. I mean like old school vibrant.
I've gone through alot of roms. At least with variations.
Many.
Today my top Rom choice would be Ginger Clone R2 by eugene.
I've tried gingerbread. Ported by whitehawx.
Till he and his team stabilize 2.3 ,
R2 to me is the best daily driver.
You need to update the modem.
In fact I myself run it with ka7.
Ka7 seems to get the best reception in my area.
If your new or seasoned and missed the opportunity to download R2.
Find eugene. Find his sight. Find R2.
I remember a certain beta called 2.2.1. By einherjar team. Amazing, stable rom.
Yes they have more out and its up to you to test those.
All roms have problems. All standard software does.
So Im just giving a starting point.
Anyone else?

My daily driver is Eugene's Ginger Clone R2 with "Dead Horse" Kernel. The fastest and most stable ROM/Kernel I have used.

I've been quite happy running Frost update 2 with Dragon v5. Snappy and smooth for me. I haven't been brave enough to try 2.3, going to wait for a fully stable release on that one.
Bionix Frost
Dragon Kernel v5 Test4
Bionix 1.3 w/ voodoo injected stock froyo kernel here. Nothing about it that keeps it from being a daily for me. Unless you're looking for 2.2.1 or higher, you didn't really say.

See below.. it's the daily driver for all 6 of our vibrants in the office!
An older but very stable rom, I use Axura as my DD. Its snappy and no bugs i can think of plus alot of very specific themes just for Axura on the Dev's website.
Trigger 1.7 w/Dead Horse kernel for me. I try the others but keep coming back to Trigger.
I too am using Darky's for Vibrant. Runs real smooth and works well with the FFC mod.
Bionix 1.3.1 with Overstock 1.4...best battery life, most stable, and fastest ROM I've ever used. Avoid the Dead Horse, ULF is buggy.

Sweet Honey 2.5 with Overstock Kernel 1.5.....fast, smooth, without a lagfix, and without voodoo.
ROM
I have been loyal to Team Whiskey for a couple of months running the various releases of Bionix-v , just flashed Trigger 2.7.2 a few days ago, running overstock 1.5, and WOW! Speed, battery, = Very Happy!
Axura with Categorically Worthless (gonna be trying tiger's blood) currently get ~20 hours battery life, not to mention the rom is smooth fast and completely stable now. highly recommended anyone to try Axura
i9000 2.2.1 JS7 with Overstock 1.4 (Voodoo "Lagfix" disabled)
Um, it's excellent.. not themed, looks great, runs great.
Greatest ever was Ginger Clone R2 hands down for me stock. Currently running i9000 Criskelo ROM V72 with Dead horse 2.2.1 OC'd to the tune 1.2 ghz. Criskelo is amazing. Gotta love that Arc launcher. I really like the theme he has running as well. Sweet honey is also a very close third.
Atriarc lg v2 with overstock 1.5. For me it has the best battery life and I tried all except cm7 and double rainbow. This is also the fastest and smoothest imo. And voodoo is disabled, with no lag at all.

Bionix 1.3.1
i constantly flash new roms whenever they come out. Just flashed triggerV2.8
I've tried all the 2.2 ROMs, and had issues with all of them except for Bionix-v. Nothing major with the others, but there were little things that wouldn't work on my phone; i.e. Trigger - calendar, AXURA - call blocker, etc.
I'm also running the stock kernel w/ voodoo and it seems to give the best battery life for me. OverStock was good, Tiger Blood was awesome (better w/ OC), but my phone was really unstable.
For day in, day out use; and my phone running smooth, it's Bionix-v 1.3.1 with the stock voodoo kernel for me.
I know there is already a thread for this but it's getting old and I thought a refresher would be nice for people torn between what rom to run. I'm still running. Trigger 2.8 with overstock and have no idea where to go next.
Test driving the new JVH right now. Not too bad and it fixes some of the JVB fc's.
Trigger 3.2. First 2.2 custom rom I'm happy with.
Bionix NextGen w/ Bali 1.8.3
Fast, slick, and long lasting

What kind of a kick are you on IE: you want touchwhiz or AOSP looks. I for one am on a AOSP'ish kick right now. Running Biwinning 3.0 with the SGS II theme and launcher2 from the G2. I read alot during the middle of the night so 2.2.1 is an absolute must since the capacitive buttons don't light up while turning a page or scrolling the screen. On top of that I am running the bullet 1.48 kernel and it is as smooth as butter. Last but certainly not least that kernel allows a screen off profile of 400-100 so my battery life while not in use is fantastic. I'd say figure out what you want out of the phone and test until everything clicks how you want. If a rom isn't what you want look-wise cruise through all the great themes we have and have that decide which rom to run. Options are vast as it stands now.
I recommend the MIUI 360 rom.

CM7 and MIUI roms are pretty great. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll be just fine. You can flash CM7 or MIUI over 2.2 roms by disabling voodoo first. Once that's done you can flash away. Be sure to grab a copy of the ka5 or ka7 radio/modems just in case you end up with no signal afterwards.
get your ass on CM7 before i slap you onto it.
Trust me once you try cm7 you won't look back to bionix ever again or any 221 rom.

Agreed always was about the Bionix roms until i tried bi-winning. Version 3 that was just released is a little buggy yet. But 2 has always been solid! Its nice with bullet kernel & bi-black gloss theme.

I went eugenes gingerclone, bionix 1.3.1, and now project-v with bali and Im pretty excited about it honeslty. Battery life is fantastic, speed is great. Im waiting for themes now haha
Vibrant - project-v, bali 1.8.6UV kernel.
I think I found my sweet spot at ZenDroid with Bali 1.86 UV. After all, this device is still made to be a phone, and while CM7 based roms are fun to play around with for a few days or weeks, I still need a stable rom for my daily use. But if I get bored, I always have my HD7 around to play around with before I come back the the good ole Vibrant.
On another note, this community has certainly gotten a lot more fun and better. Certainly much much better than that HD7 community (if you can call it one at all).
Bi Winning v3. Great rom! Other EDT roms are good too.

I used CM7 for about a month and it is without a doubt the best, fastest ROM on the Vibrant. However, I just switched back to BiWinning 3 and I really love having GPS and a battery that easily makes it through the day instead of fighting at every step to survive the day.
BIONIXV1.3.1.! ITS FAST. ITS STABLE. IT HAS GREAT BATTERY LIFE. IT HAS A GOOD GPS.IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS. IT HAS...... oh never mind
Try ZenDroid. I get good battery, the theme is awesome, its fast and its stable.

I have to agree with XPLANE and philliple. Since I've been using ZenDroid I haven't even been checking for new roms. It's stripped down, super fast and stable, and very aesthetically pleasing.

I second Project V, not with Bali, but with Super Dragonmodz. This combo works best for me.
I 3rd Project V but I use Bullet kernel
Project-V 6-5-11
There really is no current best daily rom its all in preferences! For example i love cm7 as i use it as a daily driver but some would say no to that rom as a daily so its all up to preferences
Get on that Simply Honey 2.3.4 and stream some Netflix!!!!

If u wanna stick to froyo, i recommend simply galaxy 2.8. Using it with the bullet kernel and i get 24+ hours with decent usage. Just ordered myself a momax 2700mah battery in white(looks pretty sexy). So will prolly try out some more GB roms. Simple honey 3.8(3.9 update this weekend) and revolution are great roms to try out for sure
I know what I would *not* recommend. I wouldn't recommend CM7 with KB5 modem and NEO 10 kernal. Restart galore!!!!
Project V and bali x 1.1. Awesome battery life and speed
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X1.1
I recently flashed EDT's bi winning V3. Its been unbelievable for me. Project V just didn't like my phone. Even after a fresh Odin. Biwinning has been the cats pajamas. Buttery smooth and stupid fast.
Bi-winning V3
project v/bali 1.8.7
like the look/snappiness. battery is decent with moderate usage.so far, favorite rom.
Best rom;
It's a matter of opinion and personal taste, i've flashed basically every single rom on the vibrant new and old, the most reliable and stable i've found is Trigger( Anything, 3.2 is the bee's knees) but I am also really digging Toxic Muzic and Malice V3 all over again as well, if you want ginger, Asgard is Phenomenal (I like it so much better than CM7 and Miui is cool, but Asgard owns all) Dan Brutal recently released a new ginger rom, it's pretty amazing Brutal Honey ( Definitely recommend it) but yeah, you want a daily driver, Anything EDT or of course Team Whiskey, but Team Toxic is pretty amazing to.
Enjoy either way
(BTW Project V is pretty awesome( And it is Roman's( Trigger, replacement) Definitely give it a flash!
With the exception of cm7, which ran smooth but I got too many rebooted and sleeps of death, I'd say most of the gingerbread roms are garbage. My favorite Tom so far is bi-winning 3.0
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
if u need gps go with SGSII hybrid it runs great and has great speed and battery life if not i suggest cm7 with neo10 and kb5 modem battery life and speed is great
Project V is the best ROM I've ever used. It's so good that I don't even want to flash a kernel in fear that it will mess up its greatness.
Try RevolutionRom, it is lagless, as fast as CM7, and I can get 40+ hours of battery with OC.

I just rooted my tmobile vibrant..and now i want to know as of now is
cm7 a reliable rom to use?
which roms right now are the best or are working the best.
looking for a rom where basically everything works where i wont get missed calls or txt messages
Tard Rom or bionix nextgen they are both on the teamwhiskey site, or you can use one of the many jvq/jvr roms on the development thread
Tard Rom and bionix nextgen are the name of the roms im guessing
do you mind posting link with the most current version
From what I can tell the most reliable and established ROMs are all based on 2.2 / FROYO as 2.3 / Gingerbread ROMs including CM7 all still have issues with Battery Power and GPS. These are the two most heavily viewed / used as far as I can tell:
Project V 6/11/11
Bionix-v 1.3.1 from Team Whiskey
Bionix nextgen and Tard ROMs are available in the forums on the team whiskey site (registration required).
Again, it would be great to include a very limited selection of very stable ROMs in a FAQ. The current long list of all ROMs is fairly useless for the majority of us seeking a long-term stable solution.
Good luck!
I always come back to biwinning 2.2.1
It has everything I need which is good GPS and wificalling.,
I use Cyanogenmod 7, all the latest builds are fully reliable and stable.
I also use Hybrid SGS II JVP v. IV XXJVP 06.29.11 ROM and this is the best 2.3.4 ROM with TouchWiz 4.5 launcher. Its also the most stable ROM i have ever had.

i dont think we have a working cm6.
if you want stable, just flash most any 2.2 froyo rom like trigger 3.2, bionix, toxic crazy 8, ....
most of the 2.2 roms are about as stable as you are going to get.
Ok ill try out cm7 then im guessing bio.since it seems to be mentioned the most
Don't flash cm7. You're not ready for that. Install a froyo rom instead. You get everything you need from them. Good battery life and stable. That's what matters the most.
