[Q] Is there point in updating

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S and I was just wondering, is there much point updating to a custom ROM as it's on the latest firmware from OTA (2.2) & if so what's the best custom rom available at the moment?
cheers,
Kevin.

Hi...
Im new in the SGS rooting too, but I guess my answer goes for any brand of mobile, when regarding to running a custom ROM.
With a custom ROM you get a "cleaner" ROM. you can choose which one suites you best, and often, the ROM is deoxed e.g. and is running much smother, than any stock ROM.
Regarding my choice, Im going for Darky's ROM.
I often look at which ROM people use the most, but also, if its build on stoc ROM og stock android ROM. If it is stock android ROM and you are planning on using a custom UI (ADW launcher e.g.) hte phone wont take up place with Touch Wiz UI

okay, so I've decided to use Darky's ROM - but on the tutorial it says to install Recovery2e (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108) I downloaded it and extracted it but it's a zImage file as opposed to a .tar file

[Q] Themes that work on stock (Touchwiz) ROM

Hi guys restored my phone and realized that themes are rom specific. Soooo i know i dont have any custom rom on my phone, but i know i backup and am running my stock rom that came with the fascinate (im guessing touchwiz). My question is are there any themes that work on this rom,so i dont end up installing a custom rom for it. Also can you please link a guide to install custom rom with CWM for this phone? Thanks

Just bought galaxy S

Hello,
I just bought a galaxy S from a friend. At the moment, the phone is running stock gingerbread.
1. Which rom and kernel would suite me? I do heavy texting and internet use. And normal gaming.I prefer customization and beauty and trying new lock screens. Which rom would be suitable for me?
2. Where can I find a guide/tutorial for installing custom rom and kernel??
3. When changing roms, if I back up my apps with titanium pro and restore on the new rom, they will work fine?
4. What are voodoo fix and lag fix?? DO I need to install them separately? And how do I install them?
Thanx alot.

1. Yes, you can use it as long as you want
2. Which rom are you using?
3. You need to run android 2.3.x at least, because you need CWM 5.x.x.x to flash the latest custom roms
Here a useful thread where you'll find llots of info (How to root, install CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed, flash a stock rom via Odin...and lots of tips )
