I have never found any ROM that runs as well as the stock JL2 (I9000M) I am on now. GPS works great (10 sats seen with 32.8ft/10m accuracy), no lag at all, no nothing, the phone works as advertised. I don't have all the features the other ROMs have, but I don't have any problems either.
Just curious how many people are running stock ROM's.
Ian
ROMs offer more than GPS fixes. I use a custom ROM for its visual enhancements, some bundled features and fixes (like wifi drain, etc.) and lag fixes which are not otherwise found in many stock releases.
That said, if one is comfortable with the performance on the whole, then one shouldn't really bother moving across cooked ROMs -- you're right at that
To be honest I never entirely understood why people ran stock ROMs for daily use. Custom ROMs are just so much more versatile, faster (lagfix!), and generally better, so I see no use in running a stock ROM over a cooked one.
EDIT: Except for ROM selection, I guess.. I don't believe there are any cooked ROMs running JL2 right now. Soon as I get my phone back from repair I'll start workin' on one.

I only mentioned the GPS as an example because this seems to be one point people are having difficulty with. I get no lag with my phone at all so no lag fix is needed, everything works very well.
I do miss some of the extras on the cooked ROMs like the cool multi-colored 'X' at boot-up on Darky's ROM, the extra SGS tools (I did download them separately though), and other stuff.
I did install the Gingerbread keyboard from that ROM onto mine as it's just a simple apk install.
stock
I have stock JPX but with advance voodoo. over clocked to 1.2 gingerbread launcher and keyboard with aosp lockscreen.
used to flash roms on hero and dream and they just lost to many features or after a few month got very buggy so staying away this time.
What is a stock ROM?? I think I saw or heard that thing when I bought my phone 4 months ago
Seriously, if you're happy with what you have, then stick with it

That mod seems to be subjective...thats why I haven't installed any custom ROMs, all the ones I've seen include Voodoo's visual enhancements, but everything on the screen looked slightly over-exposed and washed-out to me.
The only thing i miss with a stock ROM is the superior idle battery life, anything else cant be missed.

See, its a matter of personal taste and preference.
Compare it with a car. You buy a car and some people like it stock and untouched. The stock ride is good anyway and is mostly fine. Some people want to personalize the car and put alloys, change interiors. Some want more performance and put some engine enhancement parts or boosts.
Same goes with your phone. You can pimp it any way you want by using different ROMs or you can stay at stock.
No one can tell you and convince you what you are missing unless you try it.
I've been using stock rom, currently jpo, will upgrade to jpy via kies as soon as I get some time.
I have tried a lot of different roms in the 4 months I have had my phone.
I always found the cooked roms a bit flaky, not too bad, but enough where I always go back to stock.
Is there a list somewhere where I can see the changes between 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1?
Thanks,
Ian
PS, sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I'll take 20 lashings out of petty cash.
I'm running with Darkys V7.6 Rom at the moment it is much, much faster then the stock XXJPY and im now running speedmod instead of voodoo and battery life has improved a little.
Overall i think if you can make a rom or use a custom one with all of the required lagfixes and other little tweaks they are far superior to stock roms!
I am a big fan of Stock ROMS in general. The cleaner the better I always say... The new JL2 ROM is very nice. Fast, stable, and works well. I do like to change the home screen for visual stylings.
That being said, I blew my phone up yesterday trying to download 2.2.1 from Kies so I am currently running Darky 7.6.

I've now been running official non-hacked 6.5 ROM for the duration it's been out officially.
- Performance is worse than 6.1, esp on the Manila interface I use
- I've had 2 hard crashes (had to pull out the battery)
- many screen drawing glitches
- several times needed to restart the phone, because some part stopped working properly
- missed too many calls / messages to count
Now, my phone was working reasonably ok with 6.1. haven't dropped it a single time.
Only system level app / tweak I've installed is Pocket Shield 3.2 (and NetCF 3.5 which is reguired).
Is there anything that could be done to make the 6.5 more stable? Any tips?
Or, is there an unofficial ROM that people have found to be more *more stable* than the official (heaven forbid)?
I'm getting really bored with this phone and am ready to toss it, if I can't get it running properly anymore. This is daily tool for me, not a toy, so I'm rather non-plussed that the upgrade was this bad.
People here actually run stock ROMs?
I think that what you'll find depends entirely on you. The stock ROM I ran was OK. Bit of a memory hog, rather bloated for my taste, but ran pretty smoothly and seemed stable. So, either we have different tastes (and we do), we ran different stock ROMs (definitely seems the case), or both. I'm betting both.
Improving the stability of a stock ROM? Yeah, that's kinda what the chefs here do when they cook up a ROM. I suppose you could probably get serious about tweaking it and playing with things....but why? Go flash a few ROMs, and find one that suits you and your needs. I have yet to see a ROM that's worse than stock. (Well, in the Kaiser days there was one....lol, but it thankfully never was posted on XDA.)
I didn't see if you specified which OEM ROM you have been using. I'm using the TILT 2 (ATT) Stock ROM for about a week and it is very stable and responsive. It, like all ATT ROMs, is very bloated leaving limited memory, but I have yet to have a problem due to out of memory issues.
So far, I am quite impressed, as this is not what I have become accustomed to with AT&T bloat ROMs.
I have upgraded the radio, as when I unlocked had to reflash it. In fact, I have been so impressed with the stock, that I have been reluctant to reflash it at this point. I haven't looked in to doing the hard reset or soft reset other than with the power button.
What apps have you loaded on top of the stock ROM? Maybe you have loaded something that doesn't play well?
I haven't been a ROM user yet on the Rhodium forum, but I know that I had very good success with NRG's ROMs on the Fuze and he is cooking here now as well. I'm sure there are some other very nice ROMs.
Also, have you tried a hard reset?
v/r
try one of the non stock 6.5 218xx builds that are cooked up by the chefs here, they tend to be way more stable and responsive than the stock roms. im having a great time with miri's rom
Thanks for all the replies.
The bug lists for almost all non-stock ROMs have scared me away so far.
I don't want a bleeding edge ROM. I wish for a stable one and the stock was a horrible disappointment.
I start pruning down my installs. I have had very little on top of the STOCK. Just Pocket Shield and couple off non-resident apps (mini opera, etc).
Now I'll just zap the whole phone and start from scratch with nothing on it.
Maybe it'll stop crashing.

Agree with you. i am using WM6.5 Official HTC Europe Version, same problem
I've been running the Timor.7.1 optimized T-Mobile ROM for 2 days straight with absolutely no issues at all.
I previous had the AthineOS rom and NRG and some other rom and they were unstable except the NRG rom, I just dind't like the NRG rom.
Im happy with my phone
vasra, you haven't listed where you are, which carrier or which version of the Rhodium you're using.
If you've got a Tilt2 I'd recomend At0mAng's Fusion V6.0 HTC Sense 2.1 ATT Version
He said V6.0 will be out later today. That's is probably the best At&t rom out at the moment.
My advice, go back to 6.1, there are no perfect roms on this forum. Always something here and there, you have to flash almost all of them and find what works best for you. For example some ppl was reporting some prob with energy rom regarding video call, since Im in the U.S. and we dont have that so to me its not a bug, just an example. So find what works for u, dont listen too much to what bugs are being report by users all over the world, if you cant do that, go back to 6.1
Thanks for all the replies again.
I'm on WWE / Euro English GSM/3G ROMs, phone bought in the Netherlands, but used all over Europe.
BTW, I wasn't aware I can go back to 6.1. How can I do this?
I think I'll test a couple of the builder ROMs, once an 'official' 6.5.1 ships, which I hope fill fix some of the 6.5 official bugs.
I also uninstalled Pocket Shield completely, which took away some of the problems I was having, but not all. Plus now I have to be content with the inane built-in "lock" system of 6.5. Grrrrr...
the HTC 6.5 rom comes with alot of apps you never going to use (well some people)
the Timo rom that is 6.5 posted here on the forum he just removed alot of microsoft apps and twerk it a lil bit..
You should try
the touch sense 2.0 b rom, very fast, energy rom is very slow
The HTC Official 6.5 ROM is the best ROM I've run. Fast, Smooth, Stable. Sure it uses more RAM and has more apps installed by default but who cares if cooked ROMs use less RAM and have less crap on them if they're constantly crashing and not operating properly. No offense to all the brilliant cooks out there, your ROMs are much cleaner and tidier than the default ROMs, but until I see a cooked ROM that doesn't fully drain my battery within 12 hours (every cooked ROM I've used does this) and is bug free, I'll be sticking to the official HTC ROM.
Hi,
straight to the point...i want froyo for my galaxy s and a very good and stable lagfix with it but I don't know what ROM and lag fix to choose from and am very "noobiesh" at these kind of things.
Plus:i got voodoo lag fix and its great and I like the color and sharpness tweaks that comes with it so can I use voodoo lagfix with froyo??
So please can anyone tell me what to do exactly without any complicated mumbo jumbo??? DX
Get JPO (the latest froyo) from samfirmware.com, and flash it using ODIN. (use vol down+home+power button when turning on your phone to get it into download mode).
In my opinion, no lag patch is really needed. Lag patches can cause long term maintenance issues anyway still (and you need to take more precautions, such as DEFINITELY keeping a copy of /efs if you use a lag patch). If you are consistently getting excessive lag in late roms, it might be because certain programs you have installed are causing problems (also consider trying launcherpro, or a stock launcher).
If you want a bit more speed, wait for Tayatuma to update his superlite rom, to use JPO rather than JPM, or wait for another AOSP ROM such as Cyanogenmod (AOSP is closer to the experience google wants us to have, rather than Samsung).
Ensure you use a i9000 rom too, and don't accidentally use a i9008 or other model one. Good luck, and remember, this is just my opinion. Also, don't get too caught up in Quadrant. It isn't accurate, and some people here SERIOUSLY (I kid you not), are selecting roms based on a difference of quadrant speed of only a few points (less than 5%).
Ok...I am a 'somewhat' noob. I do have my phone rooted and have watched many videos and read through the forums. I have not yet flashed to a custom rom, but am thinking of making the jump. Just have a few questions....
Firstly...Anyone have any negative experience with PARAGON's rom? Looking though the many different ones, this one seems to keep catching my eye...
Next...I have backed up all my necessary files including using Titanium pro backup. As I said the phone is rooted. I am running stock 2.1. I have also used one click lagfix. Do I need to remove the lagfix? Can I use Odin to just master clear or do I need to flash to odins stock first? I have rom manger dowloaded also!
Thanks for any input and help in advance!
paragon is an awesome rom
You must disable the lag fix prior to flash. You can odin back to stock as long as you have all your backups. You do not need to be rooted to flash a rom. Odin will get rid of lag fix, but app should do so as well. If you use odin there is an update.zip on your sd. Leave it there, when on stock boot recovery, reinstall packages twice, you well have clockwork recovery. Install zip from sd, choose zip, select paragon, confirm
If you do not disable the lag fix you will get stock in a boot loop

Yeah...I got tired of waiting for at&t to release an update so took my froyo fate into my own hands...so to speak.
I ran Cognition 2.b3 - 3.02 and was pleased with the performance. I started watching this ROM at RC5 and just pulled the trigger today. The process went exactly as described. One thing I noticed is that this modem supports hsdpa, maybe cog3.0x did too...but never noticed. Went outside and turn GPS on and got 12 sat lock in seconds....sweet. locked in within 10'...very nice results.
Anyway, just get your feet wet, try it, don't like flash back to stock, or try another flavor. So far I'm very pleased with this ROM.
Paragon is great ROM. Been running it for about 6 weeks. I'm on RC5 now, waiting for RC6. I've had no issues. I'm running OC/UV (not required) with very conservative settings. Getting great performance, battery life and pretty good GPS.
Enjoy.
Paragon is a great ROM hands down!
Yeah, I'm running Paragon 5.1 and it's been running great. I haven't changed the OC/UV settings, just running default, with good battery and good speed.
Try it, you'll like it.
There's a reason he named it Paragon.
eSPyeL did his homework, paid attention to the details, and doesn't rush things.
If you like the ROM, throw him a bone. He's sticking with the Captivate for a good while and things will only get better.
THANKS for all the input!
I like my captivate! BUT the main reason I am looking to flash a custom rom is even with the lagfix, seems slow compared to my HTC flavors. I MUCH prefer this phone over them just want better responses. Also really want flash. I am an o/c'er by heart...ever since I have owned a PC I have o/c my CPU/GPU. Just like to get the most 'bang for buck' out of my parts...lol.
I think I shall give this a try...hopefully all goes well...
Take a look at Cezars Continuum v 2.1
After trying at least 10 different roms i am sticking with this one.
I am on paragon 5.1 with the 1.4Ghz 500hz kernel. I absolutely love it. Obviously I'm using the OC/UV to tweak it. I'm getting pretty fantastic battery life. Great GPS. I personally love the look and feel to it. I would reccomend this rom over and over again. I haven't found anything that I don't like about it so far. It's a solid working beast of a rom.
I have been running Paragon since RC3 and it has worked great. I have had a couple flashes that seemed to cause some issues with my phone, but when I had more issues than I could handle, I reflashed it and my phone worked great since. My first issues occurred when I flashed RC4 the first time, I was getting a lot if Force Closes of the system. I flashed RC4 again and didn't have any problems. The last time I had an issue was this past weekend with my flash of RC5.1. I was having some slow down issues where unlocking the phone or going back to the home screen would take more than 5 seconds. I just reflashed on Saturday and haven't experienced what I was before.
The flash issues I've had could be limited to my phone, so I won't be giving any grief to the ROM itself, and reflashing seems to fix it.
I like Paragon because it is fast, I like the theme and don't have to change it every time I flash, battery life is good enough for me to make it every day with only charging at night, and it has Bluetooth voice dialing. The Dev is also constantly updating the ROM to make it better and is doing a great job at it.
Seems over all everyone is VERY happy with the rom...Like I said before I have browsed many roms and Paragon seems to be the one.
Couple more questions. Reading through various posts in the forums, there seems to be quite a few different ways to flash. Is it necessary to remove the battery and external SD card to get into download mode then run ODIN to go to stock 2.1 and then master clear? Some say yes, some say not necessary to use ODIN if you are currently running stock 2.1. I have removed my lagfix btw.
Is it necessary to use ROM MANGER opposed to simply booting into revovery mode yourself to flash the rom?
Paragaon defaults when installed with a standard o/c of 1200 correct? Seems most find that very stable, where 1400 is possilbe but less likely to hit.
Thanks again!
So this was my setup when auto-rotate decided to cut itself out on me. I had been using this setup for over a week now at least.
Paragon RC 5.1, default kernel (1200MHz, 500Hz?)
Generation X 2.0 theme, blue version (from i9000 theme forums)
Now, out of nowhere, my phone's gyroscope stops working on me. Out of nowhere as in, phone hasn't been reset, nothing flashed recently, no new apps installed, nothing, just regular usage.
I tried using the methods in the other threads I found (deleting /data/system/ms3c_yamaha.cfg, then running /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha to manually recalibrate). Didn't work. Reflashed, wiped, all using CWM, nothing worked.
The sensor was stuck, and all the sensor readings would show that it was flat on a table (0,0,213 or something like that, the calibration utility in the Settings menu would show the ball dead center and not move).
Then I got stuck in bootloop and lost 3-button recovery mode after trying to flash 2.2 Rogers stock via CWM and forgetting to wipe data, and having to Odin flash to stock 2.1 AT&T in order to get 3-button recovery back, then flashed 2e, got CWM and clean installed Paragon from there, and then got rid of the AT&T splash screen.
However, I did notice that after flashing 2.1 AT&T (JH7) and booting to check if the update went through, the gyroscope sensor was working again.
Weird. But I guess that's why people say in the forums to flash to stock via Odin...
ANYWAYS. I literally just finished fixing it. What a painful work-around just because of auto-rotate, in order to get the gyroscope working again, and I don't even know why it stopped working. Definitely a huge negative experience. On the other hand, I'm sure it's an isolated incident not to do specifically with the rom.
On the plus side, battery life is reasonable, call quality and signal strength are great, JS3-based which means lots of themes from the i9000 forums, frequent updates, lots of features and oc/uv options. Did I mention it's fast?
Please PLEASE make sure you know how to restore your phone before flash ANY ROM!
I don't personally run this ROM (for the moment but I've heard good things overall about it.
Good thing about flashing custom ROM's - if you don't like it you have a doze others to choose from!
Well I took the plunge and installed Paragon 5.1...and SO FAR I LOVE IT. Blazing fast compaired to stock even with lagfix installed. Haven't had much time to test all things...but so far...SWEET!
I loved this rom. The best.
Senda from my Captivate with Paragon RC5.1 wait for rc6
Well been using it for a few days now, and I must say...IMPRESSIVE! Speed is great! So far I have found no bugs myself. The GPS is AMAZING! Locks in just a few seconds and I can now travel on an interstate at 65 and it keeps up with me, never thought I would see that on the captivate. Only issues really is my battery life is a bit less, but not much. just installed Juice Defender to see if that helps a bit. I am going to donate for this one! Can't wait to see what RC6 will be like...

Juice defender will actually shorten your time between charges....don't use it. Paragon for me has been awesome. I have been running it since rc3 and it has definitely stopped my urge to flash. Battery life has been amazing and average between 18 and 26 hours on my phone (usually around 20 hours). Play with some tweaks, try out the different paragon kernels and play with your uv settings. When you find the right settings you will be amazed!

I have the 16GB Vodafone UK Galaxy S. Today I was in a city trying to use satnav and it was rank rotten. So I thought I'd see if an upgrade would do it. I was using the very first Froyo that Vodafone came out with - I upgraded to that and hadn't upgraded since. I did have it rooted and 1 click lag fix was on it.
I upgraded to Gingerbread just there, sadly I had to do a factory reset, however it's all working.
I have realised that if I am going to put a custom firmware on it then now is just the right time to do it.
Is there one out there that's stable, and an improvement over the Gingerbread I'm using? Particularly I'd like it to fix the lag (if that still needs fixed) and even better would be fixing GPS/Satnav.
Pinpong blockbuster rom - ticks all your boxes. Get faster fix from market.
Your gps will never be 100% satisfactory in the city, in fact it will probably always be poor - no matter what custom rom you use.

Have you think about CM7? Great Rom, works well on my phone, and add many new things.
Hi Mate, I tried many custom roms and finally settled for
(ROM)GingerCriskeloV77-9LS-CamHack- SIP + NoIncRing I9000/T/M JVP 2.3.4
Cheers
Well, I managed to get it on. Booting up is weird though, it looks for a long time as if the screen is broken, but eventually ti comes on to the Blockbuster lock screen and then everything is fine. It does seem faster - but I'll only really know when I get to one of those situations where I feel the phone is frustratingly slow.
Thanks very much Woolf!
Time allowing I'll give the other roms a shot, although this Blockbuster one does seem to be good enough for me.
Sadly my phone now reboots constantly. it seems to do it when the screen locks

Check you got the installation right for that rom, maybe you had to flash a jvp stock first or some similar omission?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Try flashing to a totally stock JVQ first (with repartition) once you've backed up, then if you don't like that, try a custom ROM. I don't think many JVQ custom ROMs are worth trying if you want a taste of custom ROMs. Better to try CM7 or MIUI for something fast and different.
As a side note, the best tip I've seen for fixing the dreadful GPS we have with the i9000 is to buy a Nexus S or just ANY other phone! Yes, some radios appear better than others, but nobody can prove anything and it's almost all subjective feedback. A drop in the ocean of improvement needed for satisfactory function. If you must use it, a bluetooth GPS receiver and 3rd party navigation app seem the best way to deal with it.
I've now stepped away from Blockbuster. Even doing the a perfect install it crashed often and repeatedly. I did try upgrading to the very latest and that crashed several times in the past hour. Part of the problem was the rom starts with a lockscreen that has a messaging unlock on it, but it isn't set to an app that comes with the rom, so it reboots every time. Sadly that wasn't the only problem, as I was still getting loads of reboots.
So that's out of the way.
I'm now a lot more comfortable using Odin so I'll be able to try other options. I'll try the other two suggested in this thread first of all.
Next to test is CM7.
Thanks for the help folks!
CM7 aborted. Instructions are incorrect, the file they say to download doesn't actually match the instructions so that's out. Plus it clearly states it's not suitable for day to day use... so I don't thnk the time in working out how to fix it is justified since it looks like it wouldn't be useful.
I'm going back to the original question in the thread, to say that I'm looking for something stable. I now think that a custom rom is not the way to go. However some modifications may well be.
Can anyone suggest some kind of lagfix/speedup that isn't a complete overhaul like CM7, Blockbuster etc, that is very stable and that'll make my phone faster?
Edit : Part of what I was doing to install Blockbuster was install Speedmod kernel. So I've gone and put that on, and used the clockwork mod to root it, and also convert to ext4. I think things are looking pretty fast so far. I'm not sure if there's a lagfix for this, but I'm quite comfortable just now footering around - unlike the complete rom I don't feel out of my depth. So I think I'll be ok for now.
hi
with the latest 2.3.3 update
does the sgs1 still have those problems the sgs1 had
if yes
does cm7 fix it?

Hi,
You've missed some steps or you were in long holidays?
SGS1 is already on JVT 2.3.5
There's no problems at all and it works as it should be.
Have a look at DEV threads, there's many good roms and kernels.

thanks for the info
I don't recommend samsung stock ginger roms. Samsung doesn't care about correcting serious bugs so i'm not using them. Worse for me is the one that makes the phone use battery after charging to 100% even with the power cord plugged in, which, by the way, isn't corrected as you can check here:

That was a dealbreaker to me. Went froyo with a darky kernel until cyanogen 7.1 stable showed up. Also, i haven't been keeping up with custom samsung based roms, but at the time none were addressing this bug as well.
Been using cyano since it was released and i definitely recommend it. v2.3.7, phone's fast and no charging bug (didn't come across any other bug as well), decent battery (to me that means easily a day, i never got anymore than that ever with any rom with my usage) and tons of cool customization (my favs are the ability to customize your status bar with whatever buttons you want, profiles, DSP manager and, of course voodoo sound)
Only quirk i have are LED notifications not working properly with sms's (using handcent) for some reason. They do for everything else though. I'll live.
I did see several people saying otherwise about cyanogen, so take this with a grain of salt. I may be just a lucky guy but i'm yet to experience any problems.

thank you for your input
i dont know why samsung is ignoring the sgs1 while the sgs2 is awesome because of how samsung has approached its target market ( gave free i9100s for the cm team (hacksung team) and also one of the best optimized version of android ive seen on a phone
I would not discard stock rom with a good kernel without giving it a try. I'm personnaly very happy with jvt + semaphore + some aosp mods.
As always, your milage might vary, you'll have to make your own judgement.

well as i'm not having any issues with JVT + semaphore kernel, i can only recommend this combination.
I have the best battery life ever. charged over night, disconnect at 6.30 am. using internet (~1h), mp3player (~ 2h), (display brightness low) and i'm having 66%.
i have tested roms like darky, simplicity, goa, and they havent such a good battery life.
thank you all
first i try stock jvt
after that ill play with different kernels
again thank you
