Darkyy/Doc/Serendipty/Ultimate/Tricky/Juwe/SweetHoney- Which ROM suits You - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
This is not a ROM/Kernal or some tweaks.
Just purely discussing and sharing some reviews abt current ROM's.
I hope this thread will help for some dummies, or for some who required Stable or Fater & Smoother or much great look ROM's.
This is purely my personal Experiance.. Im not commenting on any one's ROM just sharing few thoughts with you guys..
Correct me if i was wrong, and sorry if i unknowingly hurts anybody's feeling.
First of all thanks to our SGS ROM Developers where they are working nites for latest ROM's updated tweaks or kernals.. simply million thanks to them.. else we should have only SAM's deafult firmware.
Coming to my point,i purchased my SGS I9000 n dec 2010.
Previously i dont have any idea of ROM neither XDA nor anything.
When i googled for info on SGS then i found link to DARKYROM, there i got links to XDA.
FOA i would like to thak Darky as i started to flash Custom ROM after i read the whole story posted on his Darky 9.2 stable version, he included almost every thing like which a new guy can easily understand.
9.2 Darky ROM really rocks. Then i moved to DOC's thread,
oh man here u can cook ur own stuff... u ll get here any ROM/CSC/MODEM... this is purely awesome like a supermarket .
Then Juwe's/ultimate & Sweet honey.. these guys are nite raiders always go for newest and experiantal but they ll never let you down.
last but not least Serendity ROM(currently where my journey paused for a while), superb ROM with ultimate fast.
SO my obs are
darky:- if you want Stable Release and want to stay for long time this is best ROM i get.
DOC:- here u c all ROM's and all varieties till last date, you will really confuse which ROM/CSC/Modem version u should go,
I found Serendity is my choice where u will get excellent Faster smoother and Stable and less battery drain if you are with JPY Modem. I mean without any tweaks or some bla .. bla... Just simply install and sit back and enjoy Perfect ROM for daily use.
Once again im telling tht im not Judging any ROM here, just want to Share some views of mine on various ROM's.
2.3.2 is out but lot of FC's going currently no stable yet, i suggest wait for some Darky's/DOC's Stable Release.
I found (ROM) GingerCriskelo for 2.3.2 is bit smoother and less FC's (if anybody want to try 2.3.2).

Same for me + yes serendipity a big discover but it's not late!....2.3.2 will coming.....!!!!

None of them. Especially those roms entitled "super", "mind blowing", "extremely fast", "ultimately stable", etc.

I meant that when I see a cooker that uses such fancy words, I just ignore their roms. I used online rom generator to build a rom that close to the stock rom.

Guys i just flashed Insanity 0.6.7, way gud.. one should try.. just like Tricky very lite but look wise impressed with gud tweaks..

I have been on darky's for a little bit now (since early v8) and its been really, really nice. but now i seem to have cought the bug, and i just want to flash all the different roms out there and see whats out there. tomorrow I'm off to the land of cm7, then maybe miuiand then some of the roms here will be my next stops, i guess i'll report back with my findings

I am on Juwe 1.9 and it works great. Just waiting to see battery life, everything else I am satisfied.
Also when I had a HTC Desire, I was on MUIU and its was defenatly best custom ROM.

[Q] What is the best rom to use?

Guys im currently using 2.2.1 Froyo XWJS8 its quite quick but freezes too much.
I just wanted to know of experience which is the fastest rom to use which uses little battery power. I was looking at Darkys rom but theres too many out there to choose from. I just want something really stable and quick all round especially the browser.
Any comments would be great.
cheers

Try Juwe11 rom, positive reviews so far. Just make sure you have the 3 button download / recovery mode before flashing.

what do you mean? darky's resurrection is a odin rom it is based on 9.2 it is easy to use (it will wipe your device btw.) because you almost can't do it wrong and then you can make an easy 9.5 upgrade
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Might give it a whirl and see how they both go, i use my phone a lot and notice the problems about 2 hours after use.
Brilliant odin is the way to go, have you got a link for the 9.2 version mate? will update when i get home.
cheers
chris
just search all of darky's thread you will find resurrection edition
if you have freezes you should try it with a lagfix then (voodoo ext4 in darky)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
ok will give it a go, ill try Darkys as i dont really want any buggy roms i cant be dealing with that,although upgrading doesnt take long its a pain when you got 2 kids running around lol. XWJS8 is crap :/

there is no definition of a best rom. there are many roms which are available for the sgs based on the different bases. the latest being js8. for me docs rom and darkys rom are the 2 best roms available out there,but there is not much of a differnce in between them..itz like 19-20. bt i have been using darkys rom for a while and i must say the latest v 9.5 is pretty stable and the best going on at this point of time. i recomend u to use dat rom.itz the fastets out there!
Thanks mate, i like the gingerbread theme he has added also and the unlock screen looks good. wander if theres a circle battery mod for it.
I will give you an easy way to check a rom .
These pages and Q& A pages scroll through few dozen of the initial posts note the rom that broke the OPs phone after reading about twenty or thirty posts you will find one name crops up time after time after time . Coincidence or just a bad rom i leave that up to you .
jje
Hah iv read so many and so many different things and found a few that are good, its just i dont want to find out by installing all of them.
The one you are thinking of has multiple broke my phone /help posts .
Either rushed bad roms or hundreds of numptys use that rom for some reason .
Your choice .

I dont want to sound discouraging, but why does CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROM dont have any rainbow? cant we use CM7 Kernel(Kang's version)
coz Kernel is reason to rainbow I think.

1.It's because we don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
2. CM7 kernels don't work
I'm confused why people are reposting the EDT ROM with basically nothing changed. Users can uninstall and install app themselves. Same goes for Kernels and Modems. None of the original bugs are solved really so I'm confused why this is the second such ROM out today.
I understand it's a great learning experience but from a user standpoint it does not contribute much. I would love when the dev uses the things he/she learned from this to make something.
PS: hayn_pryde46, this is not directed at you nor is this negative. I am very glad you decided to get into the dev game and hope you will become good at it. I'm just unsure your learning experience should be posted as a complete ROM.
why did you port this if it has like NO difference between mine? i mean seriously dude not cool.
Thank you for the previous two posts. I recently got a thread closed because I stated that the dev section is getting polluted with too many roms, which are all the same with minor changes. Im glad im not the only one

ALL he did was download my rom, and re-upload it with some more apps and a different modem/kernel. NOTHING MORE.
Yeah sorry most 98% files are new from xwjvb I just used the rom as base deleted all the files but their init.d tweaks added new build.prop and modem and kernel got mtp sync to work and maybe debugging and original music player remember reboot problems with whitehawks rom, in which he changed it to miui apk

Literally just came to post the exact thing. It seems to be a trend lately, to the point that it's getting ridiculous. The bugs that exist are pretty big, so how about we either work on those, or sit back and wait for other, more advanced devs to fix them before we start "porting" and call it our work.
I assume you don't have the ability to fix the existing bugs, so that alone should stop you when you go to open a thread for a new ROM that you know you don't have the ability to improve yourself.
I mean, then what? Someone is going to work really hard and eventually fix something, you're going to copy/paste it and call it an update? Just relax on these "ports" for now, they're not needed at this stage of 2.3.3 for the Vibrant.
so you DIDN'T tweak it as it says in your post. You give me NO credit even though you downloaded my rom (which has at least some BIG differences to whitehawks) and just replaced the files that determine the build number added a different kernel/modem and pass it off as your COMPLETE own work. Mine at least fixes some bugs his old rom had (battery drainage, made 3D gaming less sucky). Like cmon dude.

Cm vs Emanon

my dear and most respected members of xda
hi all
i opening this thread with lots of expectations that i will get what i want
i know there are lots of great folks here from the different walks of life who can guide me...
i,m currently using gingerbread 2.3.6
and i don,t wanna live with gingerbread anymore
i tried flashing cm some version i don,t know it was success but i had to face Gapps problem... i could have sorted that out but with lack of time i did not attempted it..
with out making long anymore i,ll come to the point
i know cm is great rom. but i also heard emanon is also very stable and fast rom..
i,m asking all the great folks to tell me what is right and what is wrong..
mini.. should i have cm or emanon..
if any of the great man using cm or emanon please tell me how it,s working.
did u face any problems,? if yes.. what are they, did u had solution..
please provide me the links to rom and the gapps
and also the link to tutorial how it,s done.. and troubleshoot link as well
my expectation are very high from all of you..
please help me!!!!
Like Jordan is for basketball, and Sachin for cricket..
CM is for complete custamization nd extra features (rc5.7 by squad ) but with less battery life ( except rc5.3 by squad and rc1 by mebitek )..
similarly emanon is for battery and performance ( V5 ) but with less customization...
So its just a matter of choice..use both the roms nd knw the difference.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU

Anyway I think it's not fair to comparing between CM and Custom Stock ROM, maybe if you compare between Emanon with Chocobread also with MORE and androID etc it will be fair enough
FYI have you seen this before? Go find your seat on Galaxy Mini Android Development sections and see what you want ... and please don't be lazy, smartphones is for the one who wanna learn and try not ask and try (no offense dude)

that's what i did and finally get the exact ROM for me

share your secrets bro..
so that others can take benefit from it.. and remeber u in their prayers
It Depends on the taste of the person...
For example, at the beggining of the "Rom's World" I used EmanoN v3 because it was pretty fast and saved my battery life a Lot! But at time goes by, I got bored of the EmanoN and then I installed CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC 5.3 (at first was 5.2 but then the Update came) and I loved it. It brings you a lot of tweaks and useful tool (besides of the Theme Chooser). For the Gapps, the only thing that I did was to flash the gapps from the Recovery.
Of course, *le wild new version of this CM7 appeared! RC 5.4 -> 5.5 -> 5.6 -> 5.7... and I tried all of them except for the 5.7. (RC 5.7 -> Forever Alone in my mind) and I still use the 5.3 ( *le wild 5.4, 5.5 & 5.6 says: ok u.u) because I liked more the 5.3 and didn't like some of the changes in the later updates. (*le wild RC 5.3 says: So Much Win ).
So.. as gboy2011 says, Try all the ROMs that you like, but FIRST! use CWM to make a backup of your current and safe state of your phone.
You need to explore the "ROM's World" o.o but do not explore it without your CWM backup, or you'll be like a hunter trying to explore a Dangerous jungle with a stick as a weapon
I just came to CM from stock 2.3.6, never used any other ROM but CM. I got a little bit traumatized because the first time I flashed CM, I did some stupid things and got boot looping LOL so I went back to stock ROM, got bored again and decided to reflash CM. Everything went fine(thanks yagya) and now I am in love with this ROM.
Never used another but CM because for me, customization is the biggest factor for me to use it. I simply love to customize, and CM offers beautiful and awesome themes, a LOT of new options that makes me proud of my little galaxy. Changing CM7? Just for CM9 . But of course it depends on the person and its tastes
Sorry for the big text and for bad english

You should try yourself to experience both benefit on your own. Simply asking don't provide clearer picture. Both also have their own features. If your intention more to customize, cm is better. emnon for more on performance. Interface also different. You need try out yourself which fit for you. You will more understand if you do your own research.

And don't forget to make your backup first xD

It's kinda sad

It's sad to watch all these new ROM'S and kernel's here knowing you can't have them because u can't unlock your bootloader....
And ROM'S compactible with stock kernel are sometimes(70% of time)slow.
I've realized that now aftee getting motherboard with date number 12W03
Now I know how it feels...to be limited :'(
Don't think I am complaining because I'm not,I just want to bring back a little development for stock kernel to show us,stock kernel users that we are not forgotten.
With this thread I am asking someone of you developers to make really lightweight,smooth ROM.
I know you are busy with developing for nAa or some other kernel but I think that other stock kernel user,will agree with me.
Sorry for your time and thanks for reading this!
Please don't tell that there are already plenty of good ROM'S for stock kernel user because there are not...no offense....I a just saying that most of them are slow and laggy
GDX ain't slow on stock kernel
I used it though
Except u need some heavy gaming

Well, stock is ungrateful and painful in development. I don't like to re-stock 50 times, root 50 times, put recovery etc. and still don't know what's going on because logcat doesn't even start. So I wouldn't expect so many ROMs.
And hey, it's 2013 adn X8 was released in 2010 so it's like using Celeron 433 MHz now

You are missing something very important mate, X8 come with eclair 2.1, if you are not satisfied with what devs give you then make sth better or don't complain, nobody cares if you feel limited.

Definitely worth a try. But the latest iterations of GingerDX work great. Probably even better when lots of apps are installed. Tho I didn't tried MiniCM6 with the A2SD script I'm using now.

I don't know what you mean by lightweight. GingerDX is pretty standard when it comes to the apps that come with it. Besides anything you don't like can just be uninstalled using Titanium Backup.

i have to agree. no offense to froyopro users, but froyobread seems to be smoother for me. faster too, imho. haven't tried minicm 1.0.X though.
for gb, i think gdx is good. may be the best stock kernel gb rom right now.

[Q] Really getting lost with choosing a ROM

Hello,
I am really having trouble choosing a ROM.
There are so many..
I currently have TsunamiX 5.2.
Which is the newest with a very good battery life, less lags and bugs, Rom's out there?
Gaming and "high" performance are not important for me.
Thank you

Try ICS Mackay CM9 ROM v1.5. Im using it, after many JB/KK Roms I found this and its just Great. Battery life and many.other things are much better than JB/KK Roms. Good luck.

Yes, I tried it, its based on CM11 if im not wrong. But as I said before, Im on Macay ICS CM9 since more than a month now, this means I found this Rom very very useful. Before I flashed every 2-3 days, sometimes even twice a day, I tried many many Roms but this is just Great. Smooth, Stable, Bugless, with longest batery life comparing with Roms before. You can give a try, and you'll see. Hope to like it (if you decide to try it)
Good luck.

Ofc I will be interested in the "best I can get"..

Exactly.. It's not like I opned a thread in which I asked "What is the best rom out there?".
Roms come in many shapes and specifications..
Nothing wrong in getting advices from more expirienced users
BTW, It is kinda anti-Intuitive to go back to ICS.. Any missing features from JB or Kitkat? Or does it feel the same?

So there is no need for this forum I guess.. huh?
Can't I get an advice? Why should I try 100 different roms if someone can direct me? I would never thought on going back to ICS or trying this rom that Milot suggested.
Seriously, mind your own buisness please..

Some things are missing, but for example "doubletap to sleep" you can use an xposed module for that and works great, Center clock and battery styles, and many other tweaks you can use Xblast tools (xposed module). The only thing I cant find was "Clear all button" on recent app list, but you can swipe one by one...
Im really satisfied with this Rom, based on features of Galaxy S i9000, (for me at least) this was best so far.

Mod Edit
Whichever way you word it...
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.
