Im reading over some of the stuff you provided through the link . I thank you . Maybe i didnt read far enough into the allllllll those threads but all i want is a basic rom with better battery performance, stability .
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

they call it deadly rom instead of darky rom because there are millions of post on XDA about ' help darky rom broke my phone' and so on...
his thread is a minefield of posts and is very hard to get help if something goes wrong.
anyway if all you want is a basic ROM with good features. then i too suggest romkitchen.org << here you can tailor the rom to your needs and be happy with that. also battery life is top notch with doc's roms.

Thanks peeps

If it's the one included in the kitchen, it is broken with the latest version of froyo. Not sure why. Anyway just download the ginerbread keyboard off the market for free and then select that one and it should work fine.

im getting force close for everything now not just the keyboard .
romkitchen sucks so far . ive never had troubles with darkys rom 9.5 dark core 1.4 . never had a force close or anything like this is horrible . ive tried 3 or 4 different mixtures with romkitchen all end with force close . i am factory resetting prior to installing romkitchen
only reason i wanted to switch was because i had no reception in the country .
sigh

Well if you're not going to answer anyone's questions that are trying to help you out, then go back to Darky's rom, and try to get some help in his thread.

is this photo what your are looking for ?

opps forgot it

Did you use a stock theme with ZSJPK?
And I see you used a fugumod kernal - There is a note under the fugumod kernal that a non wipe rom is essential. You included it in a wipe rom.
I do recommend cooking up a new Wipe rom, with Hardcore's speedmod kernal for stability, and if you're using ZSJPK, only include a stock theme.

[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.
Ian
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 .

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 .

I did this and always ended back with my favorite, the stock ROM, now it's JL2. I have tried a lot of other ROMs but I find the stock ROM to be the best. It is just as fast (not in benchmark scores but in real everyday use) as all the other custom ROMs I have tried. It does lack some of the custom/Gingerbread themes but all in all, for me, it does the best job.
My GPS works well. I get great battery life (compared with others that I have read about). No issues.

The theme is the xxjpy_aosp theme.

I have stock jvh now with voodoo kernel from supercurio wanted to try a custom rom now got the flashing bug haha
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I was running Juwe's 4.3 JVH with a Damian kernel and front cam fix which was pretty damn good
JVK AND JVO are the best in my opinion with all the other ones i had problems like things crashing
jvb even crashed the video driver once.
P.S. imho most bugs and issues are selfmade. Although i 'm not a developer, i would always recommend to do a clean upgrade with wiping caches and factory reset! And you should't rely on titanium backup batches to work properly. User apps might be restored by tb but be careful in regards to system apps.
Biggest problem might be the lack of patience when it comes to restoring data. Do it step by step and do a lot of reading guides and follow them thoroughly. Then you should be fine.
But thats just my amateur point of view.

So far ive used ficeto JVH and its very smooth but not very visually pleasing. Another good one ive heard its Ezbase. But you have to theme it if you want it to look good.
Cyanogenmod 7 is the fastest and MIUI is the nicest! JVH JVK JVO JVB JVA are in my opinion nothing special
My own Martux ROM off course!!

do i need psychotherapy ??
after doing my root research and stuff, when i started to flash custom roms, i did like 5-6 in the first day started with stock GB, after i did CM7, MiUi, Darky... but i didn't get comfortable with neither, so i decided to stay stock for the moment and went with the JVO + CF-Root, definetly a good start for a root beginner (noob)
beware: if you get the flash / root bug, you'll never get over it, its like a f. virus
the best is cm7 but damnn!!! i cant use video call , now on jv9 + fugumod..

Well said mate. I've said more than once on this site that if you install a clean rom over the remnants of old
Roms then don't blame the new rom for any bugs. Make sure it's a totally clean, full flash, then judge.
I've never had a drain problem for example and flashed lots of roms. Not always, but occasionally I do a "full" belt and braces flash which involves format internal sd, factory reset, flash new rom, factory reset. Maybe a bit over the top, but it's prevented problems for me and I've run jv1, a,b,h, and now o after eclair and froyo and loads of custom roms too

The easiest way to backup apps in titanium backup is to use one of the batch scripts. Just hit the menu button in the apps list and choose something like backup all user apps and data. Then you just have to save your Titanium backup folder to PC or removable SD if you intend to restock before flashing overcome, because internal SD gets wiped.
When you have installed Ocvercome, copy.TB folder back to internal SD and use TB batch script to restore all missing apps and data. I strongly advice you to buy the pro version because otherwise you have to confirm the restore of every single app. But it's worth the money for sure as after the first flash, you will get addicted to it anyway and TB will make life so much easier.

My phone still hangs and freezes-HELP!!!!!

Ever since upgrading to 2.3.3 I've been having random freezes that usually end up in needing a battery pull or pressing down on the power button until the phone reboots itself. i already did a fcty reset. my firmware is ZSJV6.
Another thing of note is that it seems to be the UI or input process that hangs or dies or something. Because whatever's running keeps running I just can't make the phone respond to touch or any of the hard buttons. what do u think is wrong?

Thats good... now dump your stock firmware and move over to a Custom ROM. A custom ROM is a customised version of a stock ROM usually featuring enhancements and better stability.
There are a large number of custom ROMs for the i9000... try out CyanogenMOD or MIUI ROM.... Check out the DEV sections for the links or head over to their respective websites... Have fun

im not that techy to be honest. i just follow whatever is instructed of me. can u help me?
I would suggest juwes smart edition, very stable and good and safe. So try it out first and then go to more specialized and hardcore roms like CM7 or MIUI.
Check out this link of Gingerreal rom for all the necessary downloads and flashing instructions.
Basically you should flash stock XXJVP, JVQ, JVR first and then flash a custom kernel like Semaphore or Galaxian and then flash the custom kernel via CWM in recovery.
HOME+VOL UP+POWER Buttons = RECOVERY MODE
HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER Buttons = DOWNLOAD MODE
Flash with Darky'w 10.2RE then you can upgrade it with 10.2.1
