[Q] Best Gingerbread rom for SGS i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

greetings,
sorry for this general question
but I am lost between a lot of gingerbread roms available for the SGS
what is the most stable gingerbread rom that supports Arabic & has all major features working ?
thanks a lot,
Ahmed

Simply honey 3.2

Juwe's ROM 4.2
Although it's merely a matter of personal preference, you'll find many people here try many a ROM but do always go back to one, and in the process become quite loyalist (not a criticism because I am the same) :3

Testing the Ginger Criskelo Rom v45 on GB 2.3.3 after testing Darky's ROM v10 RC5 and stock JVB with different Kernels
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978354
Advantages:
it is deodexed, zipaligned and rootet, was very simple to install via CWM3, flashing ROM from SD-Card even on a non-deodexed SGS I.
works perfect for me, is fast, smooth, has a nice look with glassy notification bar and dial-screen and seems to be very stable.
Disadvantages:
Has just 3 minor bugs (email.apk needs to be set back to default and powercontrol bar needs to be set on launcher and requires a restart to work properly...these bugs are solved)
3rd bug: when I choose the folder for favorite contacts (contacts marked with a star) on homescreen the application crashes.
Somebody who uses Ginger Criskelo v42 or v45 has an idea to solve this problem? link or solution will be useful!
I like to thank Criskelo for his great work and this beautiful ROM!

you might also wanna check on CMy7 or miui. Great interface, smooth as silk and AOSP!

No best only users choice and GB is Beta not full release .

[Q] what best rom should i chose for SGS gt i9000

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

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.

[Q] Can anyone recommend me the best GINGERBREAD ROM out ?

I am a bell i9000m user I guess I should say that (I'm using the 850 band i.e. JL2 modem with Froyo)
I am looking for what is generally considered the best / fastest Gingerbread ROM.
Is it CM ? I heard Juwe's rom is good too. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Is Darky making one ?
Cheers everyone
does Darky have a gingerbread ROM ?
i think darky has / is making a GB ROM, all it takes is for you to look in the development section to see what ROMs are out there.
official GB is out now, JVA / B / K all gingerbread.
if you want a custom version, you will have to do some searching, as it really depends on what you want, Im using MIUI, its GB based with excellent Features.
CM7 is smooth and super quick and is also GB but still has bugs.
so depending on what u want, just have a quick search and read the OP !!
Try my ROM, is based on official Gingerbread JVB and it has got a lot of mods and fixes...
A lot of users are happy with it! XD
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.1 JVB ROM
Go for Simply Honey - the best I tried so far.
Best ROM threads are incredibly stupid and pointless. Try them yourself and see. It's all a matter of personal opinion.
IMO any ROM based off of a given Samsung firmware is going to perform nearly the same, the chefs just do a variety of small changes/optimizations/modifications, they can't really alter what Samsung has provided.
Kernels make a bigger difference than ROMs by far because we can actually modify the source code.. If you don't want to have to decide just flash stock ROM and then flash a custom kernel. I like Hardcore's but he doesn't have a Gingerbread version yet.
I'm on juwe rom and its really nice. I've also heard that simply honey if really good as well.
I'm also bell

ONE VOTE for Juwe long life battery more than 24h with normal user love it
Have been on Darky V10 RC3 for a few weeks and it works great. No bugs, good speed, no lags, etc. Yesterday I flashed Juwe's ROM and so far I'm impressed ... Seems smoother than Darky's ROM ...
SGS I9000
Goatrip 1.7 was the most stable rom I'm currently running.
Power saving, cool UI, mostly important, stable, you know.
I tried CM7, it was quick and beautiful, but many FC
I tried all of them. Crickelo, juwe, andromedia, goatrip, darky.
Now i ues criskelo 35. Not much difference between them. Just themes are different.
And another opinion: DOC's rom. The last Beta (v2.1) is running great.

[Q] recommended rom?

Which ROM do you guys recommend for me?
I want to get a fast and rock solid ROM with original Touchwizz UI and it should work flawless in Germany.
Is there anything i should look at, for example the Modem-Version?
I'm new to flashing and I don't know what all this names like "XXJVT" means
So what ROM should I use to get the above said features?
Thank you very much
- Jahai
Modem version affects your signal and reception quality. You don't have to worry about the modem in the rom because you can flash a modem separately afterwards if you're unhappy with the one in the rom.
Roms are named with a general nomenclature of XXJ__, where the XX can be anything, depending on your region while the first _ usually represents the major version of android. For example, XXJP_ is froyo while XXJV_ is gingerbread. The second _ represents the minor versions. For example, XXJVR is gingerbread 2.3.4 while XXJVT is gingerbread 2.3.5. Currently, XXJVU-value-pack is the latest official rom.
If you want the original TouchWiz and you want the rom to be really stable and fast, then I would recommend that you use ZSJPK froyo 2.2.1. Despite being not as new as gingerbread, ZSJPK was one of the final releases of froyo, which makes it extremely stable, and being on froyo, the ram consumption is low, so there are very few lags.
Gingerbread stock roms cannot match the performance of ZSJPK, but certain custom roms have better ram management, for example the GamingRom by Burakgon, but you will lose the touchwiz launcher.
Also, if you want to use gingerbread, you should flash the Semaphore BigMem kernel for extra ram to reduce lags.

hmm but this doenst have the touchwizz ui and i really like it :/
I can recommend you to find some "native" ROMs. Native - I mean - made by your local developers. I am from Russia and commonly mods that had made by russian developers have a better localization and based on country-specific firmwares
Take a look at Simplicity ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203047).
It's the one I use, it's really fast and stable, you can always change the UI if you don't like it by installing themes or just downloading apps like Go Launcher or ADW Launcher.

If you want Gingerbread with TW, I would recommend that you download Burakgon's Gaming rom which has massive amounts of free ram and then download touchwiz launcher 3 or touchwiz launcher 4.5.
I use simplicity rom since several month. Newest version is 2.1.1 which uses modem jvu, has TW3 and a lot of nice features like over-/underclocking and better sound and graphicdrivers (Voodoo). It is optimized for speed and also for low battery consumption.
You should give it a try.
Start with a new stock rom from sammobile, root it with the kernel from semaphore and update it from CWM to simplicity.
You should try GoAtrip. It has a great batterylife and its really fast.

Gingerreal is a great rom in terms of stability, extraordinary is also a nice rom stable and nice looking.
But i would try all the roms u like and stick with the one u like best,
you can try different roms, kernels and modems and see what works the best for you.
Have fun flashing!

Daily Rom

Hello i wanted to know if there is a rom i can use as daily i have currently moved from xperia x10 to samsung and theres so many roms to choose thank you
if you first root your phone,then you can try out Docs Masters ICS rom.its really a nice one.
here's the link to the rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442169
If you wanna try ICS, then try ICSSGS with the Semaphore kernel.
ICSSGS install tut
As far as gingerbread versions go, the DarkyRom is still top notch.
darkyrom.com
There are many good roms, both Gingerbread and ICS. Best you can do is try them all till you find one that suits you best. For me that was Mintberry.
My recent experience is that most ICS-roms are good for daily use, if you don't mind a FC of random reboot now and then.
The Gingerbread-roms (like Mintberry) are very stable, more stable then stock Samsung in my opinion.
docs master V5..no FC,no random reboot,three launchers to choose from(Nova,TW4,sony ericsson launcher),glitch kernel,ics camera and you can also get Chrome browser from the Market cuz it works in this version.

Looking for a ICS ROM for the pragmatic (upgrading from GB)

Dear community,
I was lurking the forums for the past couple of weeks looking for a stable JB ROM to migrate away from GB. Unfortunately my time was more or less wasted because the JB ROMs are still in infancy, struggling with the most basic problems like connectivity, memory leaks. Not to speak about the battery time.
So now that it is clear an upgrade to JB is far away, I would like to ask you for your guidance: what ROM would you recommend someone who puts the priorities as follows:
- rock solid
- usage: emailing, scheduling, browsing, reading, music playing / streaming; no gaming at all, no social networking
- would like a very smooth / fluid UI operation (I currently use Launcher Pro)
- need a kernel that allows oveclocking / undervolting; using AbyssNote 4.2 currently. I have a rock solid voltage table for every frequency between 200 and 1600 MHz
- I don't care about thousands upon thousands of customization features, the simpler the better and more stable
Please help... I lurked enough, I just feel lost, the S/N ration is so incredibly bad
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
Why don't you simply upgrade to stock ICS and flash a safe kernel? With Hydracore, stock ICS is butter smooth but less battery backup. With speedmod, battery backup is comparable to GB.

i guess the most stable ROM is the stock ICS 4.0.4
with hydracore 5.4 OC

Why don't you try Crash ROM v10.1? It's an improved stock rom, very very smooth and it allows to you to taste the TW of S3 give it a try mate!
P.s.: obv with HydraCore 5.4 OC! Don't forget to give a thanks to g.lewarne

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried as follows:
- CleaNote 6.00 which is more or less a stock ICS 4.0.4. I find it to be way too slow (much more slower than GB), even with everything not required disabled (frozen by Titanium). Kernel used: HydraCore 5.4
- Crash 10.1 (non plus) with the stock kernel it comes with: must be trimmed down, lots of stuff I don't need, feels much more fluid / responsive. Various small issues (can't read /data and /system/app, older CWR, a few forced closes), bloated Phone.apk and some other integrated features I don't like to carry around. I think it's a very good ROM that just got too loaded, but that's what the folks want nowadays, so heck, my problem. I have to try it with other kernels.
Still looking for my dream post GB ROM :angel:
May I suggest Rocket ROM version 11? Truth be told, my Note has only seen 2 ROMs - it came with JellyCore v2 which had multiple issues, so I researched heavily and ended up flashing Rocket ROM v 11 which comes by default with HydraCore 4.3. It is (allegedly) very similar to the stock ROM and with some really useful additions (e.g. call recording) baked in. I'm a rather picky and a heavy user and this ROM has not made me think: "gah, I have to try something else, because...". It just works.
