My advice would be to start with something simple such as Darkys rom 9.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091, it is bug free and stable.
There is no best rom .But their are multiple posts asking the exact same question wasting XDA server bandwidth .
Read the 2.3 posts in the Dev section.

Bug free and stable how come 99% of the broken phone posts are Darky roms .

CM7 is the best of course.

Advising a new user to flash CM7 right out of the box is like asking an art student to make a Faberge egg.
He might get lucky, but more likely he will just create a very expensive brick.

Read some of the threads in the development section and try some of them out.
Darkys ROM is a good place to start for simplicity, or you could do a bit of research and cook your own from the ROM kitchen.
The word "Best" is subjective as different people want different things from their phone.

He will be fineeee
I flashed CM7 by following this thread just a week after I bought my SGS, and I'm chinese.
Besides, you can always save your phone so long as you can enter "Downloading" screen.
No need to worry~
I was exactly in your situation a few days ago when I was looking to flash my first custom ROM, even Darky's looked a tad too complex to start with so I went for HamsterBread, simply download 3 files, flash 2 (one at a time) in Odin, and flash the third from recovery.
The only thing broken on it is the power widget but you can get a more powerful and configurable one from the market app widgetroid.
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844514
i assume you are new to all of this custom ROM / hacking business.
i highly recommend you get your first custom ROM from www.romkitchen.org.
its so simple to make and you make it to suit YOUR NEEDS. great dev's lots of support, frequent updates.
The best place to start for newbies...
I red very good things about Cyanogen and MIUI. I'll try them first of all.
thanks yous. just wanted to make sure which ROM is safe

Lier. 99% of broken phones are CM7.
However DArky's being the MOST popular and merely aimed at idiots who need 1 click Flash (I was like that once) then it is easy to not troubleshoot lol.
Darkys 9.5 is undoubtably the best SGS i9000 ROM Hands down.
Use the starter pack for gb and then something simple and stable like Simply honey or StockRom, both use the same kernel which is excellent and install without issue.

thank you guys! good informations!
for me JUWE 4.2 is superb and perfect
Darky's 9.5 without a doubt.
best rom is from the kitchen rom beta, take your time customizing it and you'll end up with your best rom.
Darky 10.1 is most excellent and very stable!
ive been modding my galaxy for a week and was a total noob before that cm7 was an easy install and im english and we as a nation rely on asians for anything technical

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.
Sent from my hand
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!!

agreed m8 im currently on it, i feel guilty by just thinking of changing it, i dont know what shall i do now, i (have to flash my phone !!) ,
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

CM7 Nightly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946
You could always download ROM Manager instead, such an easy way out though haha
Hello guys
I got an optimus 2x, and was planning to root it, or whatever you call it From day one, I was really dissapointed with the LG stuff, it got better with launcherPro, which made my homescreen much much faster and smoother. I think this phone has enormous potensial, but bad software. Therefore, since I am new to this forum, I am looking for the "best" root or rom thing for it. Maybe there is many different versions, but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth. thats what she said.
Anyway, I've seen a friends rootet xperia, and he said he got some new UI with folders and stuff. I dont mind this, only it is good, and maybe it will be customisable still?
Problems Ive had with the phone: Random shuttdown, ugly apps like facebook for LG and antivirus etc. Buggy lockscreen. Battery goes to 0% when it randomly shuts down.
Is it wise to get 2.3 on the optimus 2x? I would love some inputs from you guys also, what you like the best and some general experience. Will I be able to update my phone when im rooted, like from the settings options from the phone? dno if this is important or not.
Anyway, links would be appriciated to official threads or direct links to your recomended roots/roms. Thanks
I have no experience with this, so a HOWTO guide or a youtube vid would be nice. Ive only done jailbreaking on 3.1.2 on 3gs
Cm7 is still in a nightly on the o2x but it has alot of bugs, i think. Mdc fr17 is very stable and fast, it's 2.2.2 though
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App
If you want a clean, simple, fast and smooth ROM like you said ide go for the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version -
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/
This is also extremely stable as its based on the stock ROM but with all bloatware removed, also read some of the pinned topics on the links below, this will show you all you need to do.
http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/
For bleeding edge stuff, hope on the CM7 nightly train, but don't complain if it crashes.
If you want stability, then try the MoDaCo stock based ones.
You don't need much of a tutorial to do it, use SuperOneClick to gain root, grab ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install ClockworkMod Recovery... download the ROM you want, wipe & install (also via CWM if you don't want to fiddle)
Hi
If you don't want to install a custom ROM:
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
-Install latest firmware and baseband for your region (or another region if you prefer)
-root your phone
-Install ROM Manager from Market and install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there
-Install dexopt fix
Now that you have a good base, look in market for an app to uninstall system apps (I have used Root Uninstaller). To completely remove system apps I think you need to remount /system rw, else you can freeze apps for easy restoring if you mess up.
I would also recommend installing launcherpro from market (replace home screen and app drawer) and google stock lockscreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033776&highlight=aosp+lockscreen
Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna try the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version. I have an exam tmrow and will therefore not try it out until the afternoon. I also have to read some, and learn the difference between root and boot, and some of ur advance words havent found a real guide yet, but have the iso and all those other folders that was in the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version.
great fun
I think the phone drain battery too fast in 2.2 (official rom)
I loose 40% of battery within 6 hours without using anything (when I'm sleeping during a night)
That's why I change to use 2.3 and I found that the battery problem is gone
I loose 1% in 12 hours.
I'm also new to the fun world of android. I've learned alot by simply reading threads and using google to explain som of the terms Read the roll up thread very thorougly, explains alot.
I'm now using CM nightly #31 and it's been very stable for me.
Just do some backups and start toying around with your phone, it's fun!
..but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth = cyanogenmod!
So far, from temasek is the best.. he got a custom kernel too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
My Opinion,
Android 2.3 from teamsek. It is just brilliant.
Android 4.0 from xxMrHyde + Nova Kernel is quite good keeping in mind the state of ICS on the 2X.

then when they want to go further flash a Custom Kernel (for CM7 i think the best one is Etana)
after that take what ever you want! Try, try and try.

Hi, I wanna install a new rom but I couldnt found what I exactly want.. please help me to decide
I want the rom to have:
-good battery life
-fast and has minor problems
-good features
features:
a lot unlock screen( minimum 5)
2G/3G
TW 4
applications and stuff from SGS 2
updated applications
3D Perfomance
based on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
single and wifi improved drivers& other drivers (if there is such thing like that..)
another cool useful stuff
EXT4
so I was thinking about Juwes/gingercriskelo/SH/CM7/miui/or maybe something else?
what is the best for me, for what im looking?
thanks guys

actually, I cant "find by myself" all the features even if I try this rom..
imidalv- yeah I've heard about cm7 but as I said- dont know which one should I choose
please help me guys
testing them yourself is the only way to find out. I want similar things to you, and have so far been through Insanity, Juwe, ezBase, and am currently trying Ginger Real. Ginger Real and Juwe both have plenty of features, but insist on theming them which really annoys me!
I use F1 SGS V3.0 (NON-WIPE).
This ROM is awesome.....

This guy posts an almost identical thread begging people to tell him what ROM to install every few weeks. They just end up being spammy flame wars until the mods delete them.
As often as you all try to tell him he needs to investigate for himself, he will continue begging someone to tell him what is best and what to do.
It is sort of a fetish thing, I think.

im guessing you dont want to just theme your phone any longer.... i was the same with you up till abt a month ago and was also pretty confused but figured it out with help from the good good people in here =)
im just gonna put it in step by step
any detailed explanation and links to stuff can be found in Nooby's How To Thread so get your tools there
1) root your phone, most common ways are super one click or blackjack (blackjack only for froyo phones)
2) if not installed ald (with the root) install CWM and superuser
3) once rooted (and have CWM & Su), download rom of choice and place rom's zip file in sd card root and install rom of choice through CWM (check if the rom youre installing requires you to wipe all cache ie davik etc or factory reset, and follow accordingly)
4) once you do that done go through the OB Themes & Apps Forum and look for a compatible theme to the rom youve earlier installed
5) dl the theme of choice, place it in your sdcard root and flash via CWM
6) once flashed make another backup (what i do is take out the first backup file and store it on my computer *do not rename it, take the whole 'TitaniumBackup' folder* although not neccesary i do it anyway cos it makes it easier for me to identify which file i wanna restore from)
7) enjoy your phone
hope this helps.........

Thanks for the guide ! i was reading the "Nooby's How To Thread" but still had some doubts.
I want to install "Zeus v4.02b".
So, if i understood well:
1) root my phone depending on the version i have, since i have stock rom, Blackjack should work.
2)install CWM (as said in the "Nooby's How To Thread"), and just follow the guide to flash a new rom.
3)Do another backup
4) DONE !
misc:
Zeus rom already have a custom kernel included right ? so i don't need to worry about that?

Yup as stated in the Zeus thread, only install the alternative kernel if you have problems with the in built one, and one last minor thing, I don't think there are themes for the v4 variant yet, and have you read up on the Zeus thread? Best to see what are the minor bugs of v4 and how to troubleshoot them first....

i didn't knew that about themes.. but that's not a problem for me.
The only bug that i saw that will bother me is the LG notifications...
Do you recommend other rom ? I was going for nova, but it seems old and outdated (2.2). So i read this, and opted for zeus.
I won't recommend one over the other man, each rom has its own pros and cons, and I don't think its nice to do that
Just try flashing one first,then when you get the actual feel of doing it, you'll be more confident about trying different roms and figuring out which suits you best
To a point its kinda addictive to me now lol... cos with every successful flash, feels like I'm getting a new phone....
Oh and the notification bug is not all bad, I still get my notifications good enough

I was requesting to mod the Go Sms Pro application to look like our stock messaging. I tried to do it, but failed. I only wanted to change the Go Sms Pro icon same with our stock icon and change the name of it as Messaging.

K the way I do it is this, install a home launcher that supports icon changes and change the icon through there, I'm using go sms also and my icon is a bird I made myself hee try to look for my screenshots in the screenshots thread hee
I didn't do much actually man, just parroting what the ppl here have taught me, just don't forget to do the same for newer noobs that turn up over time hee...
One thing I appreciate after reading other forums on XDA boards is the lack of flamers in our OB forums

There are different "wipes" it means formatting a partition, to be short.
You need to make a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced, do a dalvik wipe, and a battery stats is always good, if you install a new ROM. You can read all this in my NOOB guide, if you want to

BTW, if you're going for the Zeus ROM, flash v3.1/2n. It's much more stable than v4. (Unless you REALLY need the GPS fix). Huexxx is working on the issues so just wait
Also, Marvel 2.1 is another good ROM. I say flash all try all
Imho v3n is perfect for me.... gps lock within 20sec max, battery averaging 20 hours moderate use with 3g always on and overall smoothness and dependibility and yeah Gabwerks theme hee now it feels like I cannot look at my phone w/o his ics port and I cannot live w/o Huexx v3 hee

yes i am going for V3, but why do you recommend the N version? i read that the B is faster.

nice to hear that ! the zeus V3 really seem like a great rom ! will definitively be the first i will try.
The thing i want the most is stability and battery life.

3N should be the best choice for you, since it is the european version. There isnt really a big difference, between v20n or v20b. The main difference is the language support and 3N surely also supports Porugues, but idk about 3b, but it think it also does. You can also try both versions here and stick with the best one for you. As long as Huexxx didnt fix the SoDs, I wouldnt flash a higher version, unless you really know, what you are doing and what you can/should do in case something doesnt work/crashes/gets stuck, and so on... But I guess it wont take too long, till he has figured out, what is going wrong/where the bug is. And meanwhile, you can try all the different ROMs we already have And maybe when you tested all of them for a couple of days, we might already have LEZO/MIUI/a new Zeus/new Marvel/new Noa/maybe an ICS port/stable CM/... so as you can see, you will have/be able to test a lot
