[Q] what best rom should i chose for SGS gt i9000

hello fellow!
i read all relevant post regarding what i'm about to asking but i'm not convinced.
please XDA i'm going to upgrade my SGS gt i9000 on gingerbread
&
i want a custom rom with all lagfix,fast phone & better battery timing.
the main feature i'm interested in is!
i want the moving dock(i think that what it called)where we find 4 button of phone,contact,message,app, on the front homescreen with 7 pages.
in this dock all installed app can be seen at a time by moving it seperately on the homescreen.

there is no stable gingerbread rom atm

What you are looking dor is a scrolling wallpaper just look it up and its not invluded in any rom, we don't have gingerbread on this phone yet. Darky and Dics rom are pretty much the most used rom botb are really easy to configure, darky uses an app from the market and Docs is a web based kitchen. Lagfixes come in kernels, both darky and Doc let you choose the one you want Harcore Speddmode and Supercurio's Voodoo Kernel are the most used but don't let you OC your phone.

zimmbi & GOTFrogqc thank you for your reply.
GOTFrogqc; your reply was really helpfull.
so tell me if there is no gingerbread for sgs gt i9000.then which os should i get for my phone.i want gingerbread please.....

try darky
from my experience, darky rom resemble Gingerbread the most. Compare to other ROM, most additional "features" of Darky ROM were the modifications everywhere (Theme/Icon/Config) to make it resemble as much as possible to the Nexus Ging! I remember a moment Darky changed the boot animation to the one of Nexus S and made it as "feature", then he changed the fingerprint of the phone config to 2.3 and made me beleive that my SGS was Ginger LOL! but it's all over! he's listen to his user, and constantly improve his rom right now. I always think the last stable version of Darky ROM is one of the best rom, and I recommend it for someone who like the taste of Ginger (just theme). And I'm looking forward to taste the official Darky ROM 9.3 with JS5.
As for now, I recommend latest Kitchen DOC/Stef + latest SpeedMod 250Hz + R64 theme (plus Go Laucher Ex + AppOrganizer if you have 313 apps as mine ^^!). No need to lagfix (because there is no more lag to fix ^^) except if you want a higer quandrant (which means nothing).
I do NOT recommend any OC-UV kernel. It fry my phone, give me headache to config the Voltage, the smothness improvement often is not noticiable, but the battery usually drain faster. I think its the reason why hardcore never add OC-UV feature to his kernel (Yes, I think he is very capable to do that)
Thanks for Doc Stef Hardcore R64... to make my phone beautiful and fast.

i would personally recommend darkys rom. I only took the move to install a custom just over a month ago and now my phone is working the way it should be - smooth and fast. if its your first time i would recommend installing his 9.2 resurrection rom - there is an easy to follow guide on how to install it from the main page

+1 for darkys

I've heard a lot of good things about Darky.
I personally use seeArm's Custom ROM because it uses the JL2 modem which I need for the 850Mhz band. I may eventually try to flash with Darky and then write the JL2 modem on top of it, but that's a bit more risky so i'll try it later when i have more time.

[Q] I just want the best Froyo, speed fix and battery %. Which ROM and how??

Hey there guys,
I've had my Galaxy S for about a month now and thinking that its about time to get rid of 2.1 and go for the big 2.2.1 jump.
I just want a stable, fast and reliable version that I can get a speed fix installed on and I want battery percentage.
With so many ROMs out there can someone reccomend a good basic stable ROM to update to? And as a newbie is there a easy walk through that I can follow.
I've that there is a couple of gingerbread releases out there. Are any of them official stable versions for the Galaxy S?

Js8 + rom (most people go for darky 9.5)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

From my own experience I can recommend Criskelo Rom - stable, reliable, fast.
But really, you should choose on your own because there are some differences

People would call me boring, but I like stock JS8 + Voodoo Kernel

I like Doc's JS8 because of the kitchen and they always work flawless and are super fast. This way i get what i want the CSC/Modem for my region and only the apps i want. I used only two ROM's Darky and Doc and i prefer Doc due to customization and actually find it much faster then DArky even though Darky's has a higher Quadrant score. Main reason for me not to use Darky is im in Canada and the ROM is more or less geared for europe.
I have never had slowness/lag problems, everything is quick and snappy and this is with lagfix off. Using Speedmod K13c with recommend tweaks on and no lagfix.
When official 2.3 comes out from samsung that is the only time i will update as its PREFECT right now.

+1 for Doc's ROM.
I like that you can customize it the way you want it, choosing the modem, csc, kernel, apps, etc. So you can just install the ROM from CWM and that's it, all working in one go.
I have Doc's JS8 with Damian's Kernel with all ext2, and it works great, IMO, smooth, no lags ever, great battery life. All I ever wanted.
HOW? You'll need CWM to install it (You'll need to flash a kernel with it using Odin if your phone doesn't have it yet.). Just go to romkitchen.org and customize your own ROM with all you want/need, download the generated zip file into your SD Card and install it. Simple as that.

Using
Rom: - Doc V11.1 - ZSJPK,
CSC: - XEU
Kernel: - Damian v1.3 beta 3 (EXT 2)
Modem: - ZSJPG
Undervolt: - 25mv (not stable for anything higher......my phone issue)
Overclock: - 1.280 Ghz
Stable, fast and smooth. Battery life is good as well.

Are you already rooted? If not SuperOneClick works well with stock 2.2.
Next, the easiest kernel to flash as a firsttimer using Odin is definetly Speedmod. Hardcore's instructions are clear and exact. This will give you Clockwork Mod.
Finally, build yourself a ROM in Doc's Kitchen. You can control exactly what elements are installed and the walk throughs linked to the main Kitchen thread make it dead simple.
After you have used one of Doc's ROMs for awhile, if you wish to you can try one of the more baroque custom ROMs like Darky's.

Another + for the Rom Kitchen and big selling point is that the forum is not littered with posts saying this rom broke my phone .

I for one really like Serendipity 6.3! It´s stable, fast and goodlooking! Its GB themed btw.

[Q] A few quick questions before going 2.3.3

Hey guys, I'm currently on Darky's 9.3 (Froyo) and I'd like to try some Gingerbread . I was hoping I could clear a few things up first.
Is THIS the stock 2.3.3 rom? Can someone help me understand the XXJVA/B/K, or are they just newer revisions (B being the newest)? Being on Froyo, I should flash XWJVB NEE or XEE - correct? Will I have to remove any current lagfixes (I dont believe I applied it...but how can I check?)
Will there be incompatiblities for things like LauncherPro? Other apps?
I've read about a few of third party ROM's running 2.3.3 who are discussing camera app not working?
How do I save my Asphalt 5 savegame data? I've worked very hard to get to where I am, I'd like to be able to continue this progress
Lastly - which is your suggestion for 2.3.3? Stock, Simply Honey, Darky's 10.0 RC, MIUI, etc? OR, should I wait a little for it to mature...
Thanks for reading

+1 same questions

Gingerbread/2.3.3 not released yet .
Newer versions.
All flash lagfix must be removed .
Will there be incompatiblities for things like LauncherPro? Other apps?
Might be it depends upon the app most are 2.3.3 compatible .
I've read about a few of third party ROM's running 2.3.3 who are discussing camera app not working?
yes in custom roms . 2.3.3 is to all intents and purposes still a beta .
Any rom bar darkys but i would wait for the devs to get full working themes etc .

Darky has a very nice GB-ROM (v10RC5) and Hamsterbread is also a good ROM. So just try some different ROMs and take your favorite. I've also tried Simply Honey but I didn't like the design...

Juwe's 4.1, based on JVB, is also a verry good gingerbread custom rom.

[Q] Need help understanding modifications

Hello!
I've been trying to find out is it possible to flash roms/mods if I have flashed voodoo kernel? I flashed it few days ago and phone goes like racing car
I'm not completely newbie, but what comes to android hacking... I haven't found out few things like: What's the difference between mods, roms and kernel. Well... For example.. Can I flash tw4 if I've flashed voodoo kernel?
I don't need "how to" answers just I'd like to know more about these things.
Allso.. If someone knows websites telling huge amounts of info about these things please ad those too
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

you can install TW4 if you are on a samsung based ROM,
samsung apps will not work with ROMS such as Cyanogen and MIUI.
And you dont need to remove lagfix unless moving ROM or Kernel, if you are just updating to a newer version, its not necessary.
the best place to find your answers is here on XDA, you would be surprised what comes from the search bar

Thank you for the answer.
I tried to find answers with search. Some I found sme I didn't..
I cannot find info about project voodoo's voodoo kernel 5.5. Is it just lagfix and can I flash darky's rom without deleting/uninstalling voodoo lagfix?
I didn't find voodoo on roms list so I think it's not rom?
I'm asking becouse I findout that darkys rom... Well darkys voodoo seems very nice but it uses same kernel modifications as voodoo kernel but has much more modifications (improved gallery etc. etc.) I'm asking this becouse I really like voodoo lagfixs voodoo sound improvements....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

yeah, voodoo is the kernel.
but darkys roms come with voodoo kernel built in, you can select this using his 'DarkyROM' app found in the market (free), you select what you want, i.e boot animation, theme, kernel, added extras. Hit save and then flash his rom and it will do the rest for you.
If you want to use darkys ROM 9.2 or higher. Flash his resurrection ROM via odin, and that will give you the base package to move upwards

Oh right! Tanks!
It really seems I'm quite newbie
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

we all was at one time, dont worry about it.
The key thing when doing any sort of modifications is be sure you know what your doing. and always have a backup plan.

That's right. It's why I have not done rom flashes or anything else before getting enough info. Tough I've heard that!"while doing you'll learn" but sgs is too expensive to do such experiences.
Thanks for all the answers!

[Q] Rooting and Installing ROM on GT I9000

Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.

I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes

Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.

In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.

Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.

Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?

It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.

sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??

Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!

Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer
