Hi
I have darkys extreme 9.2 rom running fine, i have just seen the docs rom kitchen and put togeather a rom i would like to try, my question is can i move from darkys 9.2 to a docs cooked quite easily
do i need to beaware of anything when moving from darkys to docs
gazmon
I did that last week and I haven't had any problems so far...
Though... you should probably install the wipe version (and be sure to do a wipe from clockwork)
Disable any lagfixes.
How do I disable a lagfix in darkys 9.2 I.thought it was automatically enabled??
Actually, lagfix in NOT activated by default, on any of Darky's Rom versions. IF you have installed any, manually, then it's quite a good idea to remove it (restore your fs to rfs, in other words) before going for another ROM. If you are on either Speedmod's or Voodoo kernel, then you can disable it through recovery.
FYI: I did the exact same and have much better battery life now
(doc wipe and latest speedmod)

Best if you wipe all traces of previous rom .

Currently, I am on Doc v6 XXJPX with voodoo lagfix disabled. Is it safe to flash the non wipe version of Doc's new XXJPY kitchen ROM to keep my apps and settings or will I run into problems mainly caused by the difference in base ROM?
I assume there shouldn't be any since both JPY and JPX are 2.2.1 Although I did run into problems before when I tried a no wipe install of Darky's XXJPU over JPA since that was 2.2 to 2.2.1
Can anyone clarify?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It usually only causes problems with some apps. I would make a Titanium backup to be safe, then try the non wipe. If there are no force closes on first boot then you are good. If you do get some then flash a wipe version. I usually flash wipe everytime personally but that is just me
His new base is super fast by the way

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.
Rom Kitchin build your own rom .

I used Darky 9.3 + recomended voodoo kernel (no lag fix)
my phone frezze once time when I played around by turning On/Off wifi GPS + google maps; frezze at the point that I must to restart it by long click on the power button.
I switched voodoo to speedmod k13c 250Hz (always on Darkyy 9.3) since 3 days. And repeated the test with Wifi/GPS/3G google map on/off... everything is very smooth as it should be..
ATM I do not turn on speedmod tweaks because I did not see any different (smothness + bat life) with tweaks (voodoo does not have tweaks either)
So, what is the problem of Speedmod k13c on Darky 9.3?
I read it from Darky forum
Hi there
Videocalls work perfectly in this ROM.
I really recommend Voodoo as your kernel. It's stable and easy.
We will fully concentrate on Voodoo.
SpeedMod is gonna have a hard time in the future with v9.3.
Sorry to say this.
It's a bit like the Internet Explorer of the Webbrowsers...
We have to make workarounds (which delays the ROM releases) for SpeedMod because it doesn't use standards... Partitions etc. you know.
Will write more when v9.3 Final is here.
It's not about my personal preference. I also used SpeedMod for a while.
It's just that we discovered several issues with SpeedMod and a fixed recovery.
In the final, SpeedMod users will nees to have lagfix ON and tweaks OFF. else the partitions aren't gonna work properly.
I've nothing against SpeedMod, I like hardcore and his whole effort. =)
If hardcore would fix the strange mounting (which also can cause boot loops on every ROM if used with a certain configuration).
You guys will always have the choice to use any kernel.
We just take some logical steps to make it easier for the masses / beginners.

It seem that the only problem with Speedmod is the Recovery (and some mounting problem) while installing darky rom, but there is no problem on normal usage. am I right? what do you think about this combination? someone have any problem with it?
i am using darky 9.3 and hardcore speedmod.. so far so good. just tat the batt life is abit.. er... u know..
i might try out doc's rom one day to see the diff.
I have Darky with Speedmod and it's work fine !
I have 9.3 final with k13c as well. battery is alright I think, I'm at 56% after moderate use after 1 d 1 h of up time.
Using Darky's v9.3 + Speedmod k13c ... all running smooth as silk with lagfix enabled aswell.
Darky 9.3 and SpeedMod K13C....awesome combination!
Folks....Darky 9.3 and SpeedMod K13C....awesome combination..believe me ...not a single issue so far since I upgraded to 9.3. Its Smoother...Snappier.... everything u want your phone to be at in terms of performance...... I enabled the Lagfix as well as the Tweaks and also set the Brightness Level setting to Normal....getting 30hrs juice outta my battery with heavy usage....TD Synch every 10 mins...FB, lot of Gtalk chat...i clock 35% on Voice calls....WiFi usage for an hour or so FB, Gmail synching up regularly too...what can I say...
ps: Flashed XWJV1 modem yesterday and I'm just about to be convinced that this modem is surpassing the performance given by XXJPY....
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.
Hi...
I've only made a couple posts on the forum...
Updated my phone a while ago using the xda developers and had great success but reading through the lastest posts, im a bit confused and lost as to the best available updates...
I'm currently running an update from keis...
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband I9000XXJVO
kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL82937
build Gingerbread.XXJVO
My main desires would be a new rom with root, a lagfix (there are so many?) and a battery lifes mod of some sort (never used these...)...
Has anyone got any advise / recomdendations??
I'm a bit of a lamen, and no programmer, but I'm confident to flash and use odin etc....
Thanks in advance
i recommend juwe's smart edition 5.3, it has ram script,excellent battery life. it is a complete rom. if you have any other questions post them on my thread "Ask me anything, i have the answer" ,it should among the top
Jetpack is new, clean, professional, fast, smooth and battery efficient so if you want try it!
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
Darky's 10.2 extreme edition with darkcore kernel and voodoo sound and lag fix. Full flash tutorial is on the darky thread, fast stable and decent battery life. Everybody had their own personal favourites, read up on the roms and pick what suits you best. This is on a gb 2.3.4 base
You can use Martux rom.
Its a good one for starters. Download base JVR from here - Matroux Rom Flash it via Odin. Clear instructions are given there.Then flash any JVR kernel preferably semaphore 1.5 via odin. Then copy Martux Rom to ur sd card and flash via CWM.
It's only about what you prefer.
Myself am flashing a new ROM each day just to try them out.
I think I'll keep Hybrid.
