Hi guys...I'm Italian and my english is not perfect...excuse me! I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to mod it...I think that my phone is not fully exploited... I need a ROM that exploits it. My parameters of choice are stability, sensitivity and speed... What is the ROM that you suggest me? Thanks guys!
All new roms based on jpy are really fast and awesome. Just read the features of all the roms and choose one.
My favorite ; darky"s rom
The best rom is always someone else's rom. ..

You're right.
@OP
If you want a modular ROM where you can add pieces of components together, go for Doc's ROM.
If you want a great JPY ROM, go for Jim_Panse's ROM.
You can switch between ROMs as you like
Happy flashing & merry X-Mas!
I started of with the Darky ones, runs fast and smooth. Except for crappy GPS but thats not his fault, just samsung that ****ed somthing up.
Havent tried DOC's one though.

I think in terms of speed, all JPY ROMs are the same.
It's just about the customizing the ROM chef did
Not another best rom thread
We appreciate your willingness to start playing around with your android phone. However, to fully have the android experience, you will have to do what most of us do and that is flashing roms. Lots of them. Then you will know yourself which one you prefer.
BTW, this questions should be in the General section, not Development.
First you need to mention a few things more , like the firmware versions you are curently running.
Anyhow , Your first choice should be the official kies update that you may have in Italy at the moment. Maybe if you has in an eclair rom and you update to froyo is enough for your needs. Latest roms as said before are very good in terms of stability, sensitivity and speed.
If you need something beyond that , i would suggest Darkys rom ( no offence to the other guys ) which is easy to upgrade to and had a lot of goody's pre-installed
After that you should be able to fully understand the differences of every rom and make your choice.
Almost all guys here support their roms ( updates ) , they have detailed instructions , FAQ e.t.c. and you can also be helpful too , as a 4rth layer tester*
*
1rst layer = creator
2nd layer = mod creators that the rom include
3rd layer = Testers following the rom that know most of the common issues
4rht layer(us) = Testers that have fully read and understand the instructions and despite following them to the letter , they experience some kind of bug , so they report it
P.S. no actual layers exist , i just made them up to explain
IMO, i'd say last Darky's rom and Doc's.

My advice would be to start with something simple such as Darkys rom 9.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091, it is bug free and stable.
There is no best rom .But their are multiple posts asking the exact same question wasting XDA server bandwidth .

Advising a new user to flash CM7 right out of the box is like asking an art student to make a Faberge egg.
He might get lucky, but more likely he will just create a very expensive brick.

Read some of the threads in the development section and try some of them out.
Darkys ROM is a good place to start for simplicity, or you could do a bit of research and cook your own from the ROM kitchen.
The word "Best" is subjective as different people want different things from their phone.

I flashed CM7 by following this thread just a week after I bought my SGS, and I'm chinese.
Besides, you can always save your phone so long as you can enter "Downloading" screen.
No need to worry~
I was exactly in your situation a few days ago when I was looking to flash my first custom ROM, even Darky's looked a tad too complex to start with so I went for HamsterBread, simply download 3 files, flash 2 (one at a time) in Odin, and flash the third from recovery.
The only thing broken on it is the power widget but you can get a more powerful and configurable one from the market app widgetroid.
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844514
i assume you are new to all of this custom ROM / hacking business.
i highly recommend you get your first custom ROM from www.romkitchen.org.
its so simple to make and you make it to suit YOUR NEEDS. great dev's lots of support, frequent updates.
The best place to start for newbies...
I red very good things about Cyanogen and MIUI. I'll try them first of all.
thanks yous. just wanted to make sure which ROM is safe

Lier. 99% of broken phones are CM7.
However DArky's being the MOST popular and merely aimed at idiots who need 1 click Flash (I was like that once) then it is easy to not troubleshoot lol.
Darkys 9.5 is undoubtably the best SGS i9000 ROM Hands down.
Use the starter pack for gb and then something simple and stable like Simply honey or StockRom, both use the same kernel which is excellent and install without issue.

thank you guys! good informations!
for me JUWE 4.2 is superb and perfect
Darky's 9.5 without a doubt.
best rom is from the kitchen rom beta, take your time customizing it and you'll end up with your best rom.
Darky 10.1 is most excellent and very stable!
ive been modding my galaxy for a week and was a total noob before that cm7 was an easy install and im english and we as a nation rely on asians for anything technical
Hi all
I know there are a few threads similar to this one, so crap me out if you really want, but i'm asking some valid qs ..
I've been suing darky's since i first got my SGS.. 9.5 and now 10RC5.. The 10 version is a little buggy and until he releases the final version, i'm keen on trying something else. I'd love to try Cyanogen but it sounds even more buggy.
There's a great list of custom ROMs here, but there's almost too many. Some of them seem 'less than', some are based on stock, etc...
I've heard good things about ROM kitchen, so i'd be happy to check that out.. but i'm having some problems with the choices...
1. BASE ROM: what is the difference between ZSJPK, ZSJPJ, XWJS8 and ZSJPG? Are these the modems?
2. CSC: my country isn't on the list. Will JP9 suffice? How do i check what my phone is currently set as?
3. THEMES: These refer back to the BASE ROM letters... but they are all stock themes? What is the difference between one stock theme and the other?
4. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Are all these different option all compatible with my Gingerbread SGS?
What would you suggest as an intermediary ROM to settle on for a while, while i wait for darky to release a better v10?
I value battery life over speed.

Read FAQS .
1. BASE ROM: what is the difference between ZSJPK, ZSJPJ, XWJS8 and ZSJPG
BASE ROMS letters denote area and A Comes before B as end number .
MODEMS are Modems not BASE ROMS .
2. CSC: my country isn't on the list. Will JP9 suffice? How do i check what my phone is currently set as?
WHAT LIST ??? Current CSC read secret codes post .
4. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Are all these different option all compatible with my Gingerbread SGS?
Very confusing question .
As you have an unofficial Gingerbread modded rom who knows .
You need to read and learn start at the begging and decide what rom you want to flash and read its faqs .

Cm7 is the best rom a available to sgs. Just follow the instructions carefully.
GingerCriskelo rom
I like GingerCriskelo costum rom very much.
@galaxysdev...
the CM7 xda thread makes it sound like it is VERY buggy, and that there is not much support. I'm not at all happy with darky 10, and thats RC5 with TONS of support...
Is CM7 really that stable?

It has been my daily driver as a month now and I can say it really is that good. I know the porting is not done yet but they fix bugs daily. It is well supported and the xda thread... well you can ignore most of the messages there (some of the users don't really seem to read the faq or even the installation instructions well so). Of course if fm-radio, tv-out and ffc(it looks really funny) are life lines for you then its not a rom for you. But I strongly recommend to try it.Seriously.

Thanks.. looks good. Keen. I am using a gingerbread SGS, running Darky v10 RC 5 (Kernel DarkCore2.1) - do i just flash in recovery? Must i reset factory, or flash a base GB rom or anything? and is this the right file i should be flashing? CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v46_I9000-I9000T-I9000M.zip (190.78 MB)
Well, if you're aiming for the most stable and fast ROM, with the most Impressive battery life then try DeBus ROM G1.

Yes it will. Simply follow the link provided by sathkartha. There in the first post you can find links to guides that include everything.
CM7 and Miui are the fastest but battery might be a little bit worse (depends on the person, on my phone battery is basically the same as stock aprox 24-30 hrs). Miui is definitely the nicest looking out of all them though while CM7 is the fastest
Good luck
What you're asking for here is as good as "What is the best religion?". Everyone, as you can see has given you their personal opinion, but few solid grounds. In the end, you'll just have to start trying out different ROMs (if you really want to, that is) and decide for yourself, which ROM suits you the best in the end.
Among the Samsung based custom ROMs, they're all pretty much alike, with a few theme differences, but we have the UOT kitchen for that, so no biggie. What's important is you use a base you find stable, and a radio package (Modem) that gives you the best battery life (If you're in India, that would obviously be DDJV4 from the DDJV6 official Indian GB for SGS firmware). On the other hand, AOSP ROMs like CM7 and MIUI are far more robust and powerful, but at the cost of some battery life, and they're still "Work in Progress" with few bugs (which are getting ironed out... and FAST!). You'll notice the difference in a heartbeat. MIUI is simple the best THEMEable ROM available.
All in all, the decision rests with you and you alone. Choose wisely.
i guess i bricked my phone while installing the juwe rom :|
going for the stock gingerbread flash again !
For Asia firmware this is the best: pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=438146

hi
a question for the experts:
im looking for a recommended rom, as fast as possible, including lagfix if needed. Especially when having lots fo apps.
It just that i got this annoying lags on my current Rom, and sometimes i got an annoying delay when hitting an app buttons, up to 3-4 sec.
There are so many roms so i'm a bit lost, and will appreciate if you could help me get the best rom that i'm looking for.
And one more thing if possible: I prefer a detailed HowTo installation guide as possible...
Thanks
if you want to stay close to the base rom... try a deodexed base rom with a kernel supporting lagfix like darkcore..
or try this link (a list of custom roms)
alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/10/samsung-galaxy-s-custom-roms-list-1014.html
Personally i tried (and adopted) GingerReal :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025348
Already fast with just this rom. and after activating the voodoo lagfix with cwm it's really fast.
I have a very goo user experience with this rom. (looking forward to V7 (JVQ) that should go out tonight)
Go out to dev and explore, matter of taste/how you use your phone/your preferences......and each rom will have detailed install instructions....if not then pick the dev up on it. You will get as many answers as there are roms with this kind of question, and if your answer is......i haven't got time.....then stay with stock as you won't have time to sort any subsequent problems!
Insanity cm017/glitch v10c
MIUI Galnet V3...give it a try, you won't be disappointed...
i have 2 options for you
1- i tried many roms and i realized that Darky rom is awesome in performance and the team is really cooperating , wait for Darky v.10.2 i expect it come out soon , it will be perfect rom
2- different and fast rom Galnet " make you own iphone look on android galaxy " bring all what you wish , but stil have few defects but they make weekly developing , and v3 will come out tonight
Or CM7 - fastest ROM beside MIUI.

From my point of view, MIUI is really great in comparison to the original SGS mod. I'm using it and updating it every two weeks because of the updates it's providing us.
Well im usin F1 galaxy s2 rom it makes you feel like u are usin galaxy s2 and its fast without lagfix enabled.
My + its for Juwe's Smart Edition > v5.0 XXJVP .... Semaphore Kernel its in Rom and you can flash new v. with cwm ....
Rom its very stable , fast and very nice .... in my case - all works fine
recommended

I definitely recommend the Super Galaxy rom by socialsp!
hello all
i did a search to find the most used and spreaded kirnel and i've found it! it was a poll and it went to SpeedMod for over 40% i guess..
now i'm searching for a ROM i did search the Forum for a List of Roms threat and i've found it also..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
My question is..
The thread above DOES NOT have a poll.. and i don't know which Rom is new and which one is on the top :S
Is there any poll thread in here???
It depends on what you want in a ROM I guess, everyone has different opinions.
DarkyROM 10.2.2 is a good ROM to start with which uses JVQ (2.3.4). I was using this for a while before I started to make my own ROM. DarkyROM also comes with the DarkCore Kernel.
So far my custom ROM uses JVT (2.3.5) and Semaphore Kernel 1.8.1, I'll be releasing it soon.
the best way to see which one you like is to try several of them which you think you might like and choose one after, all opinions here are objective... everyone has different expectations from their phone...

I'd recommend darky's 10.2.2!!! just installed it on my friend's phone, and I LOVE IT more than my sgs4g hahaha. What a great rom. Although, it's the first custom rom I've ever come across (there are none for my phone, well, not GB ones).

Let me elaborate,
Darky's 10.2.2 was my first custom rom, I just flashed it today. I have not had any other experiences with other custom roms, in fact, this i9000 was given to me just to upgrade to Gingerbread. So I chose Darky's because of the good comments and the features it had (like BLN, support for i9000t, etc).
I can then, confirm, that this ROM succeeded my expectations, and works like a charm. The device is now faster than my galaxy S 4g, and battery life appears to be good enough. So, I would recommend you at least try this ROM, because it's confirmed to be working as it should!
I should mention however, that there might be a better suited ROM for you out there.
I had no problems flashing this. It's really easy, but you might need to flash 2 roms, one using odin (darky's 10.2 RE) and then the extreme edition using CWM. This might sound like a hassle, but I was done in less than 30min. Easy to install and looks great.
No issues.
Good luck!
CM7. Hands down.
trust me...i have galnet miui on my phone with tkglitch kernel...the best combination ever i tried
however, all CM7 based rom are great
