[Q] Best ROM

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.

[Q] Help...!

Hi all, hope I don't break the rules, but I did something to my Galaxy S, not 100% sure what I did, I used ''odin3''. Bit of newbie at this thing..
Its currently, not running the best, there is quite a bit of lag and I have a real problem with force closes.. If any one can please help me, I would greatly appreciate it...
Thanks
Below, is what I get when I go to ''About Phone'':
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJP2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 root sep-52 #1
Build number: GT-I9000-eng 2.2 MASTER 332 test-keys.332

Well what did you flash?
Not to be harsh but thats almost £300 that you could have just fried. Should really do some research and not just flash willy-nilly.
if you just want a fast phone I advise flashing Darkys ROM 8, the wipe version seeing as you dont really know what you might have done. You will first need a kernal with ClockworkMod recovery. What I just said should be enough for you to get back on your feet. If its not, shout up.
Also... 'Help...!' isnt a great topic name.
EDIT: Better yet, just search. You would have found a guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904245

Thread reported to be moved, not development.
A fresh flash with Odin should be fast. Unless you are using a crappy ROM What did you flash?
Doc's ROM with Hardcore is by far the best for speed if you are looking for recommendations

not sure what I flashed, not really sure what it means..ha was thinking about darkys ROM, like the look of it is it fast?? really sick of lag

Darky's is more buggy due to the extra bloat and his lack of experience in building ROMs. It does look pretty though.
Doc's is great plus you have the awesome flexibility of the online kitchen and tons of different themes.

what should I do if I have installed a crappy ROM? My current set up is crappy anyways, lags so much and force closes are a big problem...how do I see what ROM I have installed?? cheers

Hi, Hmm No1 noticed here with these replies, you said you used Odin3 (oneclickdownloader) Dunno if you used files that came with this..................... Samsung Captivate)(i Think) but last time including many others Bricked my other Galaxy..........Download the Norm Odin 1.1

Did you do a factory reset after flashing the phone? Backup everything first as this will wipe all data that was left from the previous ROM, including contacts, but it will ensure a more stable OS.
You can access the factory reset from recovery.

Of all rom, you go flash MASTER's rom?
And mind you, you are still in JP2! Just recommend a rom of XXJPY. There are plenty out there for you to flash, and it is NOT limited to only just Darkyy or DocRambone's ones. jim panse, nitr8, webstar1, just to name a few....
Suggest you go to the sticky and check out one of the threads there regarding those roms.
Hope this helps.

Flash to a stock rom to get phone working .
Then as been said study the posts and FAQs .
A cooked ROM is not flawless it may be buggy and most are ongoing development .
My preference is for the Magical Rom machine .

why g00ndu what is MASTER's rom like? bad by the sounds of it?
just want a quick nice-looking and feature-loaded rom any more recommendations? cheers

why g00ndu what is MASTER's rom like? bad by the sounds of it?
Not so much the rom as its been flashed by newbies who never read the posts plus their has been a constant update and change that does not cure bugs .
Forum littered with help posts broken phones all the same rom .
My recommend would be Rom Kitchen http://romkitchen.org/sgs_v1/#
XXJPY wipe jpy modem supercurio kernel
samsung_stock_jpy keyboard
plus whatever apps you want at boot .
easy install via clockwork recovery
once working you can always modify the specs and change .

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.

He will be fineeee
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

[Q] Hesitating to upgrade to 2.3.3... for a reason?

Hello there,
Here's my situation: I'm still on Froyo JPY stock (unrooted) and have been reading extensively in this forums for quite a long time now.
I have various issues with my current configuration, the most prominent being fast battery drain (my phone has never lasted more than approx. 18hours), slow gps fix, occasional crashes and sometimes slow responses. Apart from that I dig the idea of a different lock-screen, VoodooSound for better audio recording quality while shooting videos at concerts, nice themes etc. etc.
Now I've looked into Virnik0's step-by-step guide and this sounds all very understandable and should give me a rooted 2.3.3 stock with SuperCurio's VoodooKernel (thank you in advance for such a clear guide).
However I'm still hesitating to upgrade for various reasons, and I hope someone can clear up some of these for me and might give me their general opinion.
1. Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, I feel like a full wipe would be necessary (or nicer and cleaner), am I right? How would I go about that before the update? (If I wait until the Kies Update, will this wipe my phone automatically?)
2. With the update, will I get the SamsungApps again with 2.3.3 that came with my phone on Froyo?
3. What's up with the issues in the 2.3.3 version, can they be fixed without too much understanding of mounting and rootexplorer etc.? (You read so much about issues like Swype, GoogleMaps, Battery Drain etc. It's hard to decide whether the new version will meet my needs or make things worse)
Now as an alternative, do you guys think flashing a custom Kernel like Voodoo (Froyo Versions) togehter with a less battery draining modem would already solve some, or all of my issues?
I am just quite confused with all the options and new information everyday and I don't want to mess up anything. This being said, I can easily access both Recovery and Download Mode with the 3-button combos (kind of an intermediate newbie here, i guess )
Well all opinions and answers are very much appreciated.
Kind regards.

Point one gingerbread is BETA .
Point two using the unofficial methods may brick your phone and will certainly void warranty .
Point three using unofficial roms means kies no longer updates .
Point four the Samsung apps you get are in the main the same .
Point four the majority of reported bugs are either bad flash or idiot using the phone .
Your choice to proceed .
Personal route would be to follow Virnik0's step-by-step guide. But stop before Installing Darky rom .
Instead go to Rom Kitchen and build a rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Stock with WIPE Kernel Chainfires .and all other apps available .
when thats done install CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS
Followed by if required XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock
jje

Thanks for your swift reply, it is much appreciated.
Just for my understanding: The procedure you recommend sounds a little "double" to me:
If I follow Virnik0's guide until step 20 (right before Darky ROM), my phone has already been flashed with stock firmware including bootloaders + CFRoot Kernel + VoodooKernel (supercurio).
After that you mean go to ROM Kitchen (the new Beta I suppose?) and stock again this time with WIPE and Chainfire's Kernel. After that again with CFRoot Kernel?
I am confused. What is the purpose of this. Besides that, can you point me to the XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?

Not if its already flashed you dont need them just pick what you want .
I probably stopped as soon as i had 2.3 installed and then went rom kitchen etc .
Just stop before the post that says install Darky rom and you should be fine .
XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
You will have to search i have deleted all my SGS 1 links .
jje

I think the point he was trying to make was that you can build a rom to suit your needs in the kitchen. If u want sammy apps you can include them, if u don't you don't have to.there are many custom roms out there too. alot off which strip out the crap from samsung. I personally use debusrom but this does not have samsung apps. it does however have the aosp lockscreens. Its all down to what you want. Which is why the kitchen may be a better option for you, right down to the modem you wish to use.

oh man ur always here to answer people's quesion u got thanks from me
now commenting on the original post, the only reason for me stay away from the gb roms is the call recording function which is unavailable yet in gb roms (apart from miui which is awesome but unstable according my experience )

MIUI is not unstable, it just has a few minor bugs, biggest one being battery drain. everything works as it should do, ive been using it since rc3 and i aint going back..... ever lol

Hi, I wanna install a new rom but I couldnt found what I exactly want.. please help me to decide
I want the rom to have:
-good battery life
-fast and has minor problems
-good features
features:
a lot unlock screen( minimum 5)
2G/3G
TW 4
applications and stuff from SGS 2
updated applications
3D Perfomance
based on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
single and wifi improved drivers& other drivers (if there is such thing like that..)
another cool useful stuff
EXT4
so I was thinking about Juwes/gingercriskelo/SH/CM7/miui/or maybe something else?
what is the best for me, for what im looking?
thanks guys
NOTE- I have read A LOT of thread so far but I still cant choose
NOTE- cant try and install every rom.. I want to install a rom and that's it- be with him a long time

Why don't you want to try some ROMs?

You have to try a lot of roms. I use insanity CM 014.

Lunchbox115 all my application will be deleted over and over when I change rom..
I dont want to mess with this things.. lol dont wanna destroy my phone
actually, I cant "find by myself" all the features even if I try this rom..
imidalv- yeah I've heard about cm7 but as I said- dont know which one should I choose
please help me guys

testing them yourself is the only way to find out. I want similar things to you, and have so far been through Insanity, Juwe, ezBase, and am currently trying Ginger Real. Ginger Real and Juwe both have plenty of features, but insist on theming them which really annoys me!

I use F1 SGS V3.0 (NON-WIPE).
This ROM is awesome.....

@darix: you could use Titanium Backup to save and later to restore your apps.

This guy posts an almost identical thread begging people to tell him what ROM to install every few weeks. They just end up being spammy flame wars until the mods delete them.
As often as you all try to tell him he needs to investigate for himself, he will continue begging someone to tell him what is best and what to do.
It is sort of a fetish thing, I think.

Personally I liked the criskelo roms for everything you want. You really do need to try the roms for yourself. I am now a miui convert, very fast and responsive but does have stuff missing compared to other roms.
