Last month I sold my iPad and bought an AT&T Galaxy Tab and haven't regretted it one bit. I carefully followed the instructions on the "How to flash AT&T Tab to make calls page" (link below). Everything works great and I have no complaints but I am not really sure how current the ROM is that's I'm running (the one in the first post linked on the page below). I see here in the dev forum that their are several to choose from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273
Any advice on the best one to use? Another consideration would be what (if any) advantage I would gain from upgrading and having to reload/setup everything again.
Thanks,
Richard
all functional roms (roto, modaco, overcome) are based on the same samsung rom (jmi), and are similar.
other roms, like cm-7, are not fully functional now.
the best difference is in the kernel:
roto are based on samsung file system and modaco and overcome on ext4 file system.
you have also a kernel that are overclocked (seems stable, but provably the life of the cpu was no than longer)....
Overcome hands down....
I find official KM2 to be the best for me.

for me the best rom is modaco rom with 1.4ghz kernel.

Roto-JMI v2 is what I'm using and it is GREAT. I have a T-Mobile Tab and stock ROM was G-A-R-B-A-G-E!!!!!!! I've tried all of Roto's ROMs and no complaints, but by far for me JMI v2 is the best.
What I like about this ROM:
- Very fast webpage loading (Miren and Dolphin HD browsers)
- Very Smooth scrolling within the UI
- Battery lasts much longer
I will edit once I think of more Pro's.
What I don't like about this ROM:
- Extremely minor!!!!! I had to find .apk's for some apps that weren't showing up in the Marketplace, BUT I have everything I wanted and simply backed everything up (with Titanium Backup) so I'm good to go.
- AT&T U-Verse app
- Slingbox app (yes I paid $30 for this app originally)
Looking at the ROM that is available from the post below that I used, what ROM am I using, i.e. what is it commonly called here on XDA?

You can get your sling box back by re-installing the stock ATT Build.prop and clearing the cache on the Market app. Next time you open the market Slingbox will be there along with every other apk. PM me if you need the build.prop
To the OP, I am also having great success on my ATT Tab with the Roto JMI ROM. Everything and I mean everything is better!
So the link I posted uses the "Roto JMI ROM"?
Thanks,

This should be in general. We have stickies entitles "Let's clean up the dev section". Can we keep it clean?

I re-packaged the stock firmwares for safety and simplicity, to minimize the potential for fail which frustrates a lot of new users.
But, now with Overcome and Modoco you have the option to try a more modified firmware which may address some of the stock firmwares shortcomings at the expense of a little more installation complexity.
My recommendation is to start off with my firmware if you're new to flashing, then as you get more comfortable and read/learn from others experiences, try out the more customized firmwares to gain all the benefits they offer.

you're the creator of my first rom loaded in tab. you have maked a great work. thank's!
now, i'm on overcome (1.1.2) but is provably that the galaxyTab community needs your work in the near future, that the overcome creator is in other themes and no has time for continue working on it, and it seems that paulobrien is also in the same line... :/
have you planned to deodex your rom and make if flashable with CWM?. this was great!!
I'm new at all this but had good success updating me phone to SlimBean using only CWM (flashed three times). Unfortunately, they do not support my tablet listed in my signature below.
Does anyone know a stable replacement ROM/Kernel, etc for my tablet listed below that I could flash again using only CWM?
Will thank any good suggestions.
Thanks.

It really just comes down to if you like your Captivate the way it is. If you aren't happy with the performance you get from it then try a few out. I recommend Cognition for a stock like experience and Serendipity for the most stable and kept up to date ROM.
This really doesn't belong in this section. It should have been posted in the General or the Q&A sections.
Well what you have done in all those steps, other then Titbu is actually done in one step by flashing a rom.
If you pay attention to the steps your risk of bricking is minimal. Just read all the rom threads and see which one floats your boat. Cognition 4.1.1 is a very stable rom. Firefly is another stable rom. You might like Fusion also as that and Cog are based off the curren kcb1 release from att.
You will need odin 1 click to return to stock. You will have to download Rom Manager and install Clockwork recovery. That puts an update.zip on your phone that boots you into recovery mode so you can flash a rom. Once you put clockwork on the phone its best to copy the udate.zip to your comp or to an ext sd card so you can just move it over after you flash back to stock when you updated roms.
First and foremost is read as much as you can before doing anything.
Thanks for the brief input. It was not my intent to post in the wrong forum. I'll repost in the Q/A.
Pm a mod and have them move it instead of double posting.

The answer is Yes.
like they said above you could have done by flashing but you would still need root and rom manager first which if you already have 2.2 means flashing a kernel via .tar which used to mean odin but now we have neldars app. so it's not really one step, even on 2.1 noone is doing signed .zips that run in 2e recovery so you still need to root and install cwmrecovery.
basically roms have some nice features like getting rid of tw mms which many versions of have bugs and timing errors that can cause double messages or incorrect order of messages or in some cases messages to the wrong contact, if you dont have that issue now flashing a rom with tw mms may cause it or it may not. aosp mms is safer but only works with samsung lockscreens on some roms, watch for that if you like the puzzle piece functionality. but there may be many enhancements like removed bloat(unless you like the samsung bloatware) minfree tweeks, mobile ap which may be more stable than using an app for wifi hotspot, plus random shortcuts ect.ect. many of these things you can do but some are features of the base rom and require flashing, 2.2.1 baseroms are smoth as butter, especially the ones from china and 2.2.1 kernels will make the phone benchmark better.
then there is kernels which you can flash now without the rom, kernels can make the phone feel smoother and the screen brighter and better colors and add volume to the headphone amp which i dont recommend because mine clips at anything above the stock setting. also there is undervolt and overclock ect... i would recomend maybe a speedmod kernel or glitterballs work, some galaxy s phones can not exceed 1.2 ghz i dont know of anyone that cant overclock but for me 1.2 is 100% stable 1.28 is 90% stable 1.3 is about the same maybe a bit more stable and 1.4 is about 30% stable i can do it but need to be really carefull about what's running and for how long, not really usable. kernels other than glitterballs mat cause your phone to die while charging but i here the sucker punch kernel has a lower occurrence of that than past kernels. speed mod is not overclock and is safe and makes a big difference!
then there is modem.bins and gps. the two are related. if you have good gps now flashing a modem.bin can make that go away and vise/versa there isn't any rules as to what works/doesn't because every phone is different. but other than gps you need to match a captivate rom to a captivate modem. this is because on north american captivate roms changing the modem and kernel to a non captivate version will disable bluetooth calling.
then there is hsupa, it's a bit over rated in a good service area, my isp gives me about the upload bandwith at home that i get without hsupa, my home internet is fine for browsing but im not hosting any files. on the otherhand it may help in lower service areas somewhat or if you tether multiple devices. to enable huspa you need a non north american captivate rom and kernel and modem.bin, you need to decide if that is important and at a slight risk of losing some gps performance as it is so inconsistent it is hard to tell what may or may not work for you.
Moved to Q&A as not android development
I love di11igaffs roms and espyel roms they are better than stock froyo hands down id flash u wont be sorry
sent from cappy with di11i rom
Hi All,
Need some advice about the Galaxy S. I am a Nexus S user and would love to get my Girlfriends Galaxy S running better if not as well as my Nexus S. I have tried to get the galaxy S running well but now I think I have done all I can to optimise the stock ROM it has onboard!
I know that for the SGS you must use Odin to flash new ROMs – any warnings to me being a NS user with our easy CWM flashing? I will of course be doing a Nandroid backup of her current ROM in case things go wrong Currently the SGS is rooted and running a branded O2 2.2 Froyo Rom. I have Lag Fixed it using OCLF (Not great I know, but its not my phone I can't always fiddle with it to update it!) and tried to remove bloat using Titanium Backup.
The advice I would love is – which ROM do I put on her phone, when she isn’t the most tech savvy person. I figure there are 3 main options (but feel free to correct me!) for a stable and quick ROM that I won’t have to keep touching and updating or fixing:
Stock 2.3.4 (JVP?)
Nice because it’s stock and from what I’ve read it seems to run fast and is the latest version of phone android like on my Nexus
Darkys ROM
Seems to be a nice option – fast stable and tweaked (a fixed version of stock really no?), but perhaps it has too many options for my non tech savvy GF to be using?
Cyanogen Mod
Only reason I resist this is because it is probably too much of a shift away from the Samsung experience my partner is used to - I would prefer it (I have a nexus so naturally!) but I doubt my girlfriend would appreciate the change. Also it seem CM isn't quite ready for the SGS yet...
Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated! I have searched a lot about the SGS, but not having the phone myself, I figure it might be best to ask users of their opinions and steal your advice!
As this one is for your girlfriend and you are planing already with a "stock" ROM you should for sure go for the latest 2.3.4 Android Version in JVP.
I personally would never go for a "stock" but this is just my personal opinion since I am daily with the phone and can repair things by my own.
Related to ODIN there is not much to say if you read all the guides completely.
I flashed my phone many, many times even using seperat kernels and removing thing before, adding and changing scripts without brick the phone.
Try to safe the EFS dircetory is the only thing I would recommend if it is not mentioned in the guides before doing a flash.
Hope it helps for your decision.
i suggest u use darkky's rom in that case cause the battery alone lasts longer than stock that means more time spent talking to u..
I suggest you leave her phone alone
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I would use one of ramads stock deodexed roms, and then flash a custom kernel, that way she gets no lag, stock, you are safe and your love life will thrive! Now that is slick womanizing!
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c
after couple testing different ROM .... i am very pleased with Juwe's ROM ..... stable , all works fine , fantastic look ....
Darky's ROM is not a 'fixed' version of stock.
Just go with the latest stock firmware for the best performance, ie flash XXJVQ with Odin after backing up all data

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thanks for your suggestions!
Thanks to you all for your help! I think I am going to go for a stock 2.3 based rom either JVP or JVQ - probably JVQ as google talk video works with it, and now skype video works too - both of which she wants.
@solar666
Thanks I'll definitely be following the guides to the letter - and yeah an EFS backup is also on my to-do list!
@doomsdaycs
Battery Life is very much important, but having seen some youtube videos of Darky's rom, I think the interface & option changes & colours might be too much of a shift - I'd prefer it though!
@acejacksooted & @carvax
Id love to leave it alone, but she complains that it isn't responsive like my nexus and lags sometimes - so I don't have much choice but to deal with it!
@slaphead20
Is there much of an advantage to a deodexed samsung rom? Also, I hope you don't use your phone to chat up all women that way
@bisko69
Is Juwe's rom that different from samsung's roms?
@Mothatt
Yeah I think that's the way I will go - safe!
@jaju123
Again, seems like the best option at the moment. Thanks!
Any other thoughts are more than welcome! Thanks again .
All custom-ROMs except CM7 and MIUI are based on Samsung-stock-ROMs.
ROM-cookers of Samsung-based ROMs add some features and change the colors of the UI. So you should take the custom-ROM which has the nicest colors.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
i recommend MIuI GALNET its awesome
Darkys rom!
I've used many roms, but I always flash Darky v10.1 back.
Ist just so goood, battery life is amazing and still the phone is so simple.
Seeing that your GF rom is still in Froyo, isnt it better to upgrade it to at least stock Gingerbread?
Perhaps you can flash a stock deodexed rom, flash a kernel for root and CWM (i recommend SpeedMod), then flash a theme from the theme forums that you think she will like.
maybe you can even make a theme for her based on what she likes
conclusion: Stock rom with custom theme, if she like to stay on stock samsung experience and a nicer UI

I Have Rooted my Note with Odin and are on kernel KK5.. Im thinking of install a new kernel and getting a custom rom for improve the speed, battery and hopefully no lag after reading different topics here, its pretty hard too choose? anyone know for sure whats the best out?
Look at them all, read the responses, then pick one. There is no such thing as "best".
Agreed!
Its what best suits your needs. CF-Root may be considered as the most stable and close to stock as possible with just Root.
That may be what you want to start with.
The best ones are: of your considering and best choice to fit your device
yes there is not a best rom (never ask about which is the best rom)
there are different roms
some uses some devices/cpu drivers/controllers/governors some not, some are lighter some are more heavy
some looks quite similar to stock and some others are completely different
some boost speed others boost battery usage
i think that for make a good choice 1st element is to see who made the rom: there are some devs who have been tweacking/writing roms for years on older devices and have a strong strong reputation
2nd element very important is to check the comments of the people who tried it on the threads: read 1st page of the post and then go to last page and read the 10/20 last replies
usually for noobs like you and me the best is to go for a well tested rom without 2 many problems
i wouldnt dare to install cyanogenmod 9 so far....
anyway if i were you i would try the rocket rom vers 20 and then upgrade to rocket rom 21
this rom has a long development and its quite reliable
being .21 version many bugs have been amended and the dev is very active and nice.
2 go for reliable rom as beginner is the most intelligent choice!
hope to have been helpful

Hi, my name is g4ndr1k and I'm a flash addict.
I've tried almost every ROM and now I am on DarkyROM. Hopefully it would be my last before ICS.
My other favorites are Cassie's, CheckROM, KingDroid and Romow.
For giving a precise answer (of course, only IMHO):
CheckRom v5 with either CF Root oder SpeedMod Kernel.
But, in general: use what suits your needs best. How? take a look at every ROM.
Honestly as of now the custom ROM's dont really stand out that much compared to the stock ones, on a day to day basis with a blind test no one can tell the difference.
I was looking for smoothness, stability and the minimum lag without changing a lot in UI, stock LA4 deodexed with fm 2.0 kernel was my best choice after trying several roms, I'm satisfied with what i have before the ICS comes out.

if you already rooted and installed CWM recovery, then no need to flash using Odin.
just copy Zip (ROM) to SD card and reboot in CWM recovery then flash.

Im actually starting too wonder if id used Odin.. This is the package i used: DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
but anyway, i dont think i have CWM recovery installed, i have downloaded Rom Manager, but when i push the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I can only choose between a few samsung choices like SII but no Galaxy Note?
Currently on rocket 21 but id highly recommend checkROM v5. Seems the most stable with superb performance and battery. Flash abyss kernel 3.5 and overclock and undervolt to 1600. Guarantee you'll love it. With checkrom you can install missing Samsung apps from kitchen and a variety of mods to suit your needs. Would recommend ics keyboard if you use fingers to type or swype if you use the pen a lot.

Cheers,
got my first android phone July of last year, a Galaxy S I9000, im very happy
with it except when it hangs or reboots by itself, not to mention the battery
drain. And since its my only phone then, I decided not to root and install any
custom firmware as Im afraid I might brick it. Anyways got my second phone
recently, a Galaxy Note N7000, now I think I am ready to root and install a
custom rom and play around with it more. Can someone here show me where I
can get a step-by-step guide on how to install a custom firmware? and which of
the firmwares would you suggest? heres the details of my phone:
Model : GT-I9000
Firmware : 2.3.3
Baseband : I9000DXJV9
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9000DXJV9-CL216763
[email protected] #2
Build No : GINGERBREAD.DXJV9
Please be gentle with me here, im a virgin at this and this will be my first try
ever on flashing a phone.
Thanks a lot in advanced.
First off most of the ROMS, Kernels or Modem threads all have fairly easy instructions in the first couple of thread posts so I have provided the links to those I like.
If you are looking for an ICS ROM try Team ICSSGS. It has been a while since they had any updates but the ROM is rock solid and the thread below should explain everything. There should be an immanent release of RC5 which I'm sure will be even better.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
Another great ROM is SlimICS. This has more regular updates if you check out the first post it has a link to everything you need to know to get it running. I am personally running this ROM at the moment but will move back to Team ICSSGS as for me this is the best ROM.
If you miss the toggles in the notification bar for Team ICSSGS then download widgetsoid from the Play Store - free app that can be set up to sit in notification bar.
If you want root but plan on keeping a Stock Rom then check out CF-Root. All instructions in the first couple of posts. Lots of info but if you read it, it is fairly easy to understand. CF-Root is basically stock kernel with root. No CF-Root for JV9 but people have reported using either JVO or JVP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
NB. Before starting make sure to back up your EFS folder & make a Nandroid backup after getting root.
Also make sure to get everything you need first so if you run into issues that can be resolved quicker.
So get the ICS Rom you want, download your stock rom & odin at Sam Mobile.
Another great resource is SamMobile which has all the stock roms, odin etc.
If you want to fiddle with kernels after flashing ROM then my favorite ICS kernel is Semaphore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
For modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
Thanks for the reply scubadude, I will read up on those links you provided and will take it from there.
update:
Just followed the instructions to the links you've provided and now im done. I used the Team ICSSGS rom and now my phone seems to have been reborn.
Performance is way better than it was, and looks good with ICS. Thanks a million for the help.
Pleasure... hope you enjoy it. For an even better experience try either Devil or Semaphore kernel. I'm using Semaphore.
scubadude, I've installed Semaphore... im still playing around with it, and
re-installing my apps and all... thanks a lot for the help, i really appreciate it.
Just a followup, I noticed that I "Sim Toolkit" is now missing is my apps list.
Any ideas how to get this back?
As far as i am aware sim toolkit does not work on any of the ics roms. Someone can correct this if i am wrong

Unfortunately battery drain is an issue with ICS although for my use battery has been similar to stock rom which has always been the best for me.
The way I use my phone I make sure gps, 3g, wifi & location stuff is all off - turn on when you need them. Also don't overclock.
Make sure you are logged out of latitude (was a massive battery drain in gingerbread for me). You can also try different modems (apparently better signal means less drain) Modem thread here. Try JW4 or one of these jvu, zsjpg, dxjv9, jvt, or you could try the nexus modems kf1, kb3, kj1 Nexus Modems (search in thread for link. )
With phone like this I get 2 to 4 days or about 3.5 to 4 hours of screen on.
You can also try Slim ICS as it has updated to ICS 4.0.4. although I am not noticing a big battery difference and plan to move back to Team ICSSGS as soon as RC5 comes out.
So far I have tried Teamhacksung build 17, CM9 latest nightly, AOKP, CNA, WeUI, Slim ICS & Team ICSSGS. I have tried the following kernels: icy glitch, devil & semaphore. Midnight kernel is supposed to give good battery life so you could try that.
My favourite has been Team ICSSGS with semaphore although currently on Slim ICS 3.3 only because it has ICS 4.0.4 & Team ICSSGS is still on ICS 4.0.3.
I'm running the ICSSGS Rom for a couple of days now and I have to agree, there's some battery drain.
Anyway, it's a good and stable rom and I did not have any problems since flashing it.
What you could also try is to switch off vibration if you not really need it.
What I did was disabeling the "Google location service" (not sure if this is the right translation as my phone is set to german language).
Anyway, even with a higher battery drain I wouldn't go back to Ginger.
There's always a jack around ... you just need to find it

Thanks for the reply, now that i have tasted ics on galaxy s i will never go back to ginger as well. I am now thinking of installing a custom rom on my note as well if samsung dont release ics soon.

Thanks for the link again, i have seen that link before and tried it (the one from the first post works for me) However, it doesnt seem to connect to my telcos server. Same result also on the first link provided. At any case I've given up on that for the meantime since my S is only my secondary phone and im getting a new debit card for my paypal. Oh I've now installed SlimIcs on my S and im loving it... feels more snappier. I didnt know that flashing could be addictive.

Unfortunately it is... Slim ics is great defintely my favourite at the moment as it has received regular updates and is running android 4.0.4 vs team icssgs on android 4.0.3. I'm sure once team icssgs update they will be back on top though.
For something different. Not quite as fast but still awesome try WeUi. All the rest are pretty much the same in my opinion. In general forum (i think) there is also a thread with bench marks for most of the roms.

Thanks @luftys as much as I'd want to try that... wife is using the phone and shes very much happy with it that she wont even let me touch it anymore...
anyways I still have a Galaxy Y and Galaxy Note to play with....
Ok, so my P1000 (stock Gingerbread, bought SIM-freeon and currently on Vodafone UK) has become soooo slow over the past two years of ownership, and a minor water contact today forced a factory reset... So a clean JPZ based Tab to play with...
Been toying with the idea (in hope for better performance) to get a custom ROM from here, maybe one based on ICS (if the hardware can take it), but after a couple of days of reading through all the posts and threads, I confess I am at a complete loss: can anyone recommend a stable working ROM (even if essentially based on stock images) that could/should improve the tired tab's performance? Also, not clear: do most ROMs here come with rooting or do I then need to apply CFRoot separately? Lastly, at the time of my last post (way way back), Overcome ROMs seemed to be the way to go, but today their site is down?
Please be gentle, though I understand the basics, I am indeed a novice in this arena

Great, many thanks, downloading now... As a follow up, I understand this is their version of 2.3.6 (Gingerbread); don't want to be a , but was wondering if there's an ICS ROM out there for the P1000? Also, is overclocking possible on the Overcome ROM? (the idea is to try and get a device that actually runs better than stock GB, so not even sure if the hardware is up to speed with ICS)
Again, thanks and apologies for the q's, got more confused reading through the posts than I was before
There are AOSP based ICS/JB
Just look for them in dev section.
Either CM or AOKP.
You still need overcome kernel to have cwm first in order to flash them.
kernel, not ROM, OK?
Overcome should be overclockable.

There is a relly good CM10 (JB) ROM I'm using: sapir-rom.blogspot.com It's nightly, but it works perfectly for me with very good performance.
