Should I root my phone?

I got the samaung galaxy s 4g a few weeks. I was using a rooted g1 with froyo 2.2 on it. My friend has the samssung vibrant and hes bricked it twice and had to send it to tmobile. Is it worth rooting my phone and flashing gingerbread on it. My galaxy s 4g is running 2.2.1 I just wanted to delete some of the preinstalled apps to clear up somw space and get some more ram? Any ideas without having to root?

I'd say its not reliable yet, most rom chefs are already went back to the JSx roms.

Rooting? Yeah for sure, its always nice to have it rooted.
Gingerbread? Wait some more, as mentioned before its not perfect yet, 2.2.1 is still more stable and better for daily use. Sammy will bring out the official ginger soon and then It wont be long before the stable roms leave the kitchen

yes you should root - no steer clear of vm1. Its a very buggy beta and the clean final is imminent in any case.
After rooting suggest you experiment with flashing any of the excellent 2.2.1 custom roms out there - then when the gingerbread roms come out you will be experienced enough to take advantage of those.
That is the best advice I can give to you
oh, and do plenty of reading in this excellent forum - there's plenty of brilliant advice - but you have to take the trouble to find and read it all

Stay away from ICS as there are no stable versions available at the moment.

Depends on what you mean by stable.
It is pretty stable now, but not full featured yet.

i need help
i want to install ICS on My P1000
it is having original 2.2 Froyo
please help me
this is the first time i m doing it and i have got my tab only 4 days ago

Last night I installed a CM9 ICS BUILD from a humberos kernel site using it now everything works except camera but the from has a screenshot function so what I do is open the camera app and other take the screenshot and just crop it and booom I'm happy

Camera is fixed. If you don't know how to push changes, you should wait for a few more days to get new build that has fixes.

Miui 4 ICS for galaxy tab looks HOTTTT, and however I can't get nether my sim card to work nor wifi. Can anyone be a Saint and guide this newbie on the right path..???
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

which MIUI?
[ROM][GSM][ALPHA]MIUI ICS 2.1.6 Based on CM9 ??
If this is the one, well, it is an alpha ROM. So don't expect too much.
And hasn't been updated since Jan 2012.
The dev said don't use it as a daily rom.

That truly burst my bubble, cause once I downloaded it I feel in love with the way the entire interface looked and felt. All I can say is the development had something cooking there, I wish he would have maxed it out. It could have been really one of the best kernels out.. Just my option. Thanks for the feedback, I truly appreciate all of you that help us non knowing newbies out.. And I say that from the heart. Is there anything that comes close to it out..?? I'm using CM9'S build #31, it's good but the fonts are small and I miss the notification page that sides down. Can you please be kind enuff (not saying you haven't thus far) to put me one to the HOTTEST build out, we'll which ever you think is the best out for daily use for my GT-P1000. Thanks again, and muck blessings to you and yours.

This is the best ICS ROM for this device as fas as I'm concerned. Works really well. A couple of minor bugs but overall it flies.

I searched the link you suggested, however I didn't see my device listed (GT - P1000). Is there a direct link you can send me to it'll be greatly appreciated. And what is ice Aokp..??
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

I'm really not sure what you mean. The link I posted takes you the ICS ROM for P1000 device.
May be I'm misunderstanding your question.

Hi luchiano,
If you are on cm9, there isn't a build 31.
That is ICS AOKP that has that build number.
You won't have slides down transparent notification like in gingerbread, sorry can't help there.
But font size can be increased easily in settings- display-font size.

Cool, will I would like to start off by thanking you both Priyana and ipit, known to get a little clear I'm going to put up the spec that shows up on my about tablet section "kernel version -2. 6.35.7 sgt7-ics-TE4M #20120410 CAYANOGENMOD VERSION BUILD # CM9-SGT7 TE4M_20120410. @ Priyana, I was almost sure when I downloaded the version I seen build #31, however I could be wrong. Can you please do me the favor and send me a link to what ever version your on..?? It would be highly appreciated. Thanks again to you both.

[Quick Question!] Stablest ROM for the Galaxy Ace?

Hey guys, need a quick answer!
My friend handed over his Galaxy Ace to me for a day and wants a nice and FAST ROM. Could you please help me specifying the ROM which is the stablest and the fastest as well. Waiting for your quick reply! I'm heading from the galaxy nexus forums so I have no idea.

[ROM] [04.05.12] CyanogenMod7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4 [...SIMPLY THE BEST!]
This is a real good rom. I use it for a week now and its stable, and fast. My ace run games, that were lagging before. I hope you like it too!

if u r looking for CM roms, go for miracle v4
if u r looking for a stock rom.. go for Imaginary ICS, stock lite

Miracle v4 edition is simple the best

I tried miracle v4 and i found it to be very empty (stock app wise), i am using revenge sunday rc1.1 and it's working just great, everything is smooth and stable, i dont play games often so i cant tell about it.

Stocklite V6 or Miracle V4. Can't find anything for the ace better than those two.

If you want the most stable ROM, you should stick with stock ROM. As far as I try, it has significant less FC than other ROMs.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

I think Sedan Class V2.5 is Stablest ROM for the Galaxy Ace

Been using miracle v4 for weeks.
Although it is a little bit too barebone at first, but you can just install what you want later on.
And it is the fastest rom i've ever use. Stuff like random reboot doesn't happened. However, I don't find it as the best rom when it comes to battery life.

Hey guys, I'm sadly a newbie to xda , but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Basically, I'm in need of a VERY FAST ROM thats preferably either CM9 or CM10, CM7.2 is okay as well but no stock roms please! I send a lot of text messages daily and I'm heavily integrated with social networking so I need a fast rom, also a VERY GOOD BATTERY LIFE!
Thank you!

If u are a heavy internet user then go for <CM7.2 > It has great performance as well as battery life..
According to me don't go for <CM9> its oudated n not updated from a long time..its great though..
I would prefer <CM10.1> (4.2.1)..It has great performance ..n battery life depends on your usage..
For more info PM me..
Edit: Check here (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Xperiencecyanogen/395619180456847) Two great roms are released by Xperiance.Cyanogen..

If you want speed and battery life, don't go for cm9 or cm10.
You need MIUI or cm7.

[Q] What ROM I should choose?

Hi,
I just bought a SGS+ and I am curious what ROM shoud I choose?(I`ve seen a lot here) Because stock ROM lag`s every time I unlock phone, sometimes apps lag a couple of seconds and I would preffer ICS based ROM but I can try JellyBean too.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys!
Thanks.

Really comes down to your preferences. Some are feature rich, some are slimmed down, still others are aimed at gamers and performance. Personally I'm enjoying the Tsunami builds in the 4.1.2 flavor. Just check out a few until one suits you.

There are many good ROMs, you should try them and decide what is the best for you.
If you want more performance or if you don't want lag, you can flash a kernel with OC support, you can change the governor and the IO scheduler.
Good luck

I too own a SGS + and for me Bio Hazard is the perfect ICS Rom.
While Gigabread + is the perfect Gingerbread Rom.
But that are my views, it may not be the perfect match for you, so just try out all the ROMs, and one last thing, Jellybean at the sec is a little buggy so stick with 2.3 or 4 !

Ty Brahmnoor! I've tryed Biohazzard and it is a great ROM! Till now!
the topic can be closed! ty all!

no probs !

I strongly recommend using Jelly Bean ROMs rather than ICS ones. There are several reasons for that because JB is clearly an upgrade to ICS and not to mention the notorius ICS media bug.

You can start working with cm rom's i find them very attractive. although flashed today MagicBean rom, pretty nice to.
All you need to do is start working in that, keep on trying

My two favs...and the only 2 i switch between after trying almost everything there is.
1. CM9 + Devil Kernel (ICS)
2. Saurom + Semaphore 2.7.4 (gingerbread)
Currently using Saurom + semaphore 2.7.4
Just recently flashed this and im very impressed and pleased.

I would suggest trying out the JB ROM by Ivendor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000828). I'm pretty happy with it, especially since I do not use the features mentioned in that thread as buggy/not working.
The overall performance is awesome, the user interface is very smooth and battery life is better than I had with CM9 ROM.

No, Ace won't be getting new version of Android. Only new releases of 2.3, if there will be any.

Ace was already outdated when it got released.
If you seek updates get a Nexus 4 otherwise use CM10 or stick with GB.

Dude it's hopeless, instead use CM10 or AOKP ROMs by Jellaxy...

Well, we're stuck with unofficial updates, and for rhose there are Wayland, lagloose, imbawind et al to thank. I myself have now Wayland's CM9 RC4.1 with PSN kernel, and am happy with it. Still need to restore some stuff and tweak a bit... But it's stable enough for my daily use
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app

There isn't any hope at all as ace has very low specs, far from the requirements of any 4.0 and 4.1. It has long been announced that official development for it has ceased since CM7.2 Even the official developers don't feel that it is worth the time developing for it. Samsung expected the phone to be a cheap one for all, they released it as a budget phone, so go for custom stock roms, plenty of them are nice looking and can almost mimic the latest versions of android.
