Moved from HTC to Samsung. What ROM, Juwe or GingerReal?

Hey,
I recently moved from a HTC android phone to the Galaxy S.
I've been digging through all the custom ROMs and I have found Juwe's and GingerReal but I'm having a hard time deciding what one to pick.
Battery Life is important to me.
Speed is important to me.
Music is important to me. (although everything has Voodoo fix it seems)
I also would love BLN to be supported (I think both do that). Drives me mad not having a notification light.
They both seem to work really well and I just sort of wanted some imput on what one to pick from someone who has used both.
What one, in your opinion, is the "better" ROM for me, based on speed and battery life? (and maybe other things I am overlooking that you think are important)
Thanks,
Chuck

Why not go with Darkys? He's got one of the best roms out there with everything you've mentioned as a requirement.
While normally I would recommend cyanogen, they haven't fixed a lot of the battery drain issues that the other roms like Darky's has already.

Oh maybe Ill look at Darkys too. When I was looking at it I didn't know if it had better battery life too.
What advantages does Darkys have over these ROMS?

One of the biggest things is it has a large user and developer base than the other GB roms... quicker support and fixes that way.
It has most of the features of the other two and it has it's own kernel. This allows for more control for speed, battery and feature optimizations.

Thanks dude! Ill be loading that one.

Definetly Juwe.One of the best!

++1 tried them all, no better than juwe. but if you are looking for large community - doc's romkitchen is the way, of course but those "large" communities are not that supportive, you need to look for answer on your questions in thousands of posts. However romkitchen is the best for novice - you will be able to see what files you can keep what files are save to delete, insanity is also good in that, very tiny rom with a good speed and supportive forum. well, try them all and see what you like. I heard that darky is good and i had it for a while but the dev himself is using different phone, so, think further.

Just moved from Ultibread to GingerReal myself last night. Piling on all my old Apps is a pretty good stress test and it held up well. Still flying this afternoon. Battery life seems improved too given I have been proding it all day and its still going. Took the punt over Juwe and not disappointed thus far

I have been using juwe's 4.3.1 and darky's 10.1 both on JVH. I personally thinks that in-terms of speed (no lags) juwe's doing great, much better than darky's. you can feel the smoothness in juwe's rom but with darky's rom, sometimes you will get slight lagging especially media scanning + background sync running at the same time.
Well, I am running darky's rom anyway.. hehe.. coz darky's 10.1 has nice icons, but bit disapointed compared to darky's 10 final (no gtalk 1.3).

[Q] New to SGS, I'd like to know some stuff!

Hi SGS users,
Yesterday I've got my SGS, 2nd hand, it works really amazing ^^ I came from a HTC Hero which is also an amazing device, but this is soooo much smoother & faster.
Now when I opend the forums, I saw a ****load of roms, with all different kind of number/letter combinations like JVQ & stuff like that.
Rightnow I'm running darky's 10.1 extreme rom, and I'm happy with it, but as I'm a flash junkie, I'd like to know some more good roms ^^
Also I'd like to know some good kernels, rightnow I have the kernel that came with darky's 10.1, but it seems this has no undervolt option, which I'd like to use to spare battery when the screen is turned off.
Let me make a quick 'list'
- Some good roms, please =)
- Some/A good kernel, please =)
- Maybe you know some cool stuff, like a awesome bootscreen, or some cool wallpapers/widgets everything is welcome ^^
I hope I don't act greedy, it's not meant this way, I just want to know what the community has to offer. =)
Btw. did anyone notice your phone talks to you when your phone is booting darky's rom for the first time?

That its probably voodoo installing, as for best rom, you will get as many answers as there are roms!

I have been on several versions of Darky's ROM for a while and loved the speed it brings to your phone. It also increased the functionality of the phone. I had some issues setting up Exchange email with that ROM so searched for a new one. In that quest I found the GingerReal ROM.
Currently I am on version 7.1 of GingerReal and can safely say it's the fastest and most stable version I have seen. You may want to give it a try.
The Battery life on GingerReal is the best I have seen and I have seen comments for a few others who second me on the good battery life.
Also, try ADW launcher.

I would go to the romkitchen.org and make your own, that way you get what YOU want, I found Darkys a good learner but yearned for more of me
I use damians kernel, not liked around here but works for me, if not then speedmod is good
Boot animations are touchy, they work on some roms or versions and not others, make a backup BEFORE you apply any changes

[Q] CM or Not? Which one?

Hello everyone,
I've been a fellow follower of the forum since I got my Galaxy S about 4 months ago. It is an amazing phone.
I've tried CM7 at the beginning, MIUI and several ROMs (currently with Darkys 10.1) and I had always a problem.
With CM7/MIUI the problem is battery life and some incompatibilities like codecs, playing flv files and so on. I am really having problems to know the current state of CM7 cores, mostly about if the battery life is comparable with stock rom.
I really want to try something that is still evolving but stable, that when I want to upgrade I don't have to wipe everything, and that I don't need to spend days to have everything working.
My main concern is battery life when using 3G, now it is simple not enough and the quantity of applications that can be run in background. For GPS I use GPS AIDS and seems to work fine.
So I really want to stick to only one ROM (Darky for me is too slow for updates and I have some issues with it)
EDIT: I am currently testing CM
Thanks!

if you want speed choose MIUI / CM7
If you want battery life Choose something similar to stock
if you want both ............ Tough sh!t lol

U can try Juwe's Rom 5.3 JVR it's fast, stable and has a good battery life.
I was on Darky's 10.2 befor flashing Juwe's 5.3 and i'm happy with it
People say's that S.U.R.F.A.C.E. has a good battery life too, I didn't tried it.

insanity cm is my advice, helpful thread, if you know what you are doing, good speed and stability, top developer...nitr8, and all good fun

I used CM7 once, but what is so special about it? I only saw speed y the selectable themes. Then I had compatibility and codec issues, also needed to find some driver for the pc to use usb tethering.
I installed juwe over JVH with Darkys but I am getting FC with EDT app and reboots in the browser.... any ideas? Something wrong? I installed it via CMW with Wipe Version.
Also for Tethering you need to copy some script from one folder to another... why the Semaphore Kernel doesn't come with that predefined?
I may try SURFACE as for CM I need to mess with Odin.

One more day in MIUI than in Jetpack?

I really tried Juwe's rom doing all the necessary steps.
But I have a force close error when trying to change the screen delay in settings, also no DPI support as the twLauncher and the browser has some lag.
I think I need another rom.

try this rom called : MilkyS MOD + KERNEL [v1.2]◄ Based on 2.3.4 XXJVR | Odin/CWM | ODEXED!
i had the same issue as u did , and the solutions is ryt above

As I am sure you have realized by now, the reason threads like this very little usefulness is that they almost immediately become Fanboi Fiestas. Each respondent will tell you that their favorite ROM will solve all of your problems and wash your car at the same time.
In the end, the only proper judge of which ROM is best for you will be YOU. You simply need to select a handful of ROMs that seem good to you, and test them out. No advice, no fanboi screed, no feature list can do that job for you.
Reading your posts, I can possibly give you some ideas of what to look for in very broad strokes.
First of all, the battery problem in CM7 is pretty much corrected by recent development. Most users now get about the same battery life as they would on the average Samsung ROM. However, I would NOT suggest you install CM7. If as you say you want to install a single ROM and then be done with it, then CM7 is certainly not for you as updates come every day or two. They don;t NEED to all be installed, but most users do. CM7 is the ROM for those who like to tweak and tune their phones and rewards people who like to experiment and really dig into the nuts and bolts of the OS. Since you say that when you installed CM7 for a little while months ago all you noticed was that it was faster and had lots of pretty themes, and you claim not to have time to even read a thread to learn about a ROM, then CM7 is ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR YOU.
Insanity and MUIU are both ROMs based on CM7 the same way the Samsung ROMs are based on the Samsung android version. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Insanity is closer to CM7 in look and feel, while MUIU is closed source and by default very much like iOS. Each one has devoted fans, so feel free to try them.
The endless numbers of Samsung ROMs are mainly themed versions of the basic Samsung code, with some kernel tweaks thrown in. You are usually best off choosing the one you like the looks of best, if you choose to go in that direction. Samsung ROM fanbois and devs will usually tell you their ROM is incredibly fast and feature packed, and so much better than anyone else's ROM. Whether that is true or not, take all such claims with a grain of salt.
Go out, download 5 or so roms, read their install instructions carefully, familiarize yourself with ODIN and the three button recovery method...and start exploring.
Good luck.

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment.
I am familiarized with Odin and CMW since I had the phone and I tried so many ROMs when I started. The thing is that now I don't have so much time to read all the posts I only read the first ones with the main info.
Now I will give a try to MilkyS and then I will try CM when I have more time.
I will update you guys on the topic.
Thanks!

i try cm7 it s better but battery drain is too

What do you mean lack of changelog? Its on every post i post a rom post 1 and post 2 included...
http://nfye.eu/changelog

These kind of threads are pointless, like was mentioned earlier, each to his own ROM, some that work for some may not work for others, it does`nt make a ROM bad/unstable blah blah, only one way to judge a ROM, try it out then decide, no need for all this prick measuring...just my €1:74..

Ok thr best rom for you is jetpack, its pretty stable and has all features you are looking for with excellent battery life its very easy to install as the developer of that rom has made a simple yo use app. That takes care of all of the simple steps like wipe/no wipe, which kernel, which theme (two themes - basic stock theme or blue cm7 theme) and which modem! Jetpack's latest version which is v3.1 has some problems with tw4 so i advice you to not install v3.1 and wait for v3. 2 which will be there in 1-2 days as said by the developer!

[Offtopic]My own opinion about ROMs (most of them).

Hi everyone, first I wanna say that Iam pretty bad speaking english but I ll do my best to this topic.
I just want to say that Im pretty happy with the community of OB cuz I have just 2 month with my OB and in that time there was just like 2, 3 ROMs available and those was little outdate... But right now we have 200% more than those days and they are pretty amazing ones
So all I have to say is keep that way and soon we even will have ICS in OB =P
Thx to:
- tantrums for his amazing Marvel Rom.
- gabwerkz for his amazing echelon ROM
- Huexxx for his amazing Zeus ROM
- achyut for his recent amazin ROM too
- re4lsk for his LFD ROM (I never try this but there is some pretty nice comm)
- TheFrankenstain for his work trying to port MIUI for our OB
And those dev that in his time work hard on our OB (I dont know exactly names cuz Im not that old on OB)
Edit:
This is my experience using those ROMs:
The first ROM I use was:
NOVA (Android 2.2)
This ROM is just excelent but is just a 2.2 Froyo ROM. I try this cuz when I buy my OB it came with that android version and that ROM was the original one plus a lot of tweaks!, I had no problem using this but I rly want to change to 2.3... so I found:
Zeus (Android 2.3.4)
At that moment it was at version 2.0 or similar, there we have an excellent ROM, no problems at all and great perfomance. I use this ROM long time without any Change, but there comming v3 and then 4 and I have bad experiences because SOD and when new version arrive I was wondering if t that will have no SODs and there I see still there for me... So, this ROM is excellent if you dont experiment any SOD (a lot of ppl havent but I do every time).
Then a lot of ROM born and I will not say in orden wich ROM I use (cuz I rly dont remember) but I ll say something about it.
Marvel
At it beggining it was just original ROM with a little tweaks, no so much difference, thats why I think this ROM wasnt rly a ROM, but then newest version arrive and it change a lot. I think this ROM is just perfect, great perfomance, no SOD for me, not problem at all... the reason I dont use this anymore is cuz "ICS UI". Im tired to see that UI at this momment...
Sapphire
I try this ROM less than a day because it UI, I just rly dont like, to much color and charge interface... I cant say anything usefull cuz I use this like 12 hours, it is smooth, great perfomance but thats it, I cant say anything else.
Echelon
This is my main ROM for my OB, I was a betatester of this ROM in an alpha version and it was just ammazing, then realease version arrive and a lot of ppl say that it was laggy, but I never experiment that, It is just rly smooth, great perfomance, amazing battery life (Im on 46% and it have 17hours of use with 3g on). I think you need to give a try to this ROM and if you dont experiment bad perfomance you will be happy with this =D
LFD
Like I say before, I never use this ROM... I remember now why I just dont... this is based on a "chinnese" ROM named Lezo and when that ROM arrive for our OB I give it a try and I was pretty dissapoined and when I see LFD was bassed on that, I just cant flash because my bad experience.... Maybe later I ll flash to give it a chance.
TMR
Well for this ROM I was a betatester too and I rly like the UI from MIUI, but there was a lot of problems at that time. Then It got new version and resolve a lot of problems. If you are a MIUI user, this is for you, there is a few problems yet, I experiment 2 random reboots, and the UI isnt smooth yet, but maybe some day will be a great ROM.
Noa
I never try this because Xperia UI, Im tired of that UI because I was xperia user and I just dont wanna see this anymore
CM7
Pretty nice but isnt stable yet.
I hope this can help you =P

Congrats for the great work of all devs (including re4lsk ) and other users that contribute for this awesome community
I have been ghosting around for a while, now it's time to participate

Could this become a thread for people to discuss the different pros and cons of the several roms we now have? (or is there already a thread for that?)
It's becoming hard to decide and since not all of us have enough free time to test them all I believe it would be useful to have such a thread

umm...i think ur wrong here...LFD is lezo based. "NOA" rom by DiederickC uses most of my SE ports to get a closer look to SE.
nd, i was a xperia user myself (but loved the SE UI )

Agreed to OP
Excellent work from devs on all roms available wright now, nice to see everybody is helping each other te improve their products.
I'm here now for a few weeks, looking for nice stuff for my OB.
So far i tested some great roms, right now i am on Zeus 5.03 lite. This one is nice stable en pretty fast.
Past 2 days i have been trying Echelon, with ups and downs. I have been reading in Echelon topic (to bad i can't post there yet)
This went in up and downs, first it ran laggy en got max 1500 on quadrant advanced, after a second install everything went very well and got 2000 on quadrant. but then after a few hours the lag came back for a unknown reason.
I don't know what the problem is, maybe it is a fault of myself.. i don't know
much reading and searching keeps me learning every day en coming a little further each day.

Yeah, my mistake. I was confussed between LFD and Noa... thx for your comment
Well I think this thread can have my experience using that ROMs, so I'll edit first post and add that information there. Like everyone know the whole experiences is different for everyone, so take that informations as my opinion and no as a veredict

Thanks for the summary, it will be useful

I tried a lot of Custom ROMs in the last 6 months ..
The last 3 were:
-Echelon (stable, nice and simple UI, actually using),
-Marvel v4-v5-v6 (Pretty good and stable, until the last updates, Eats a lot of memory!!, so I changed)
-CM7 RC1 (Pretty Fast, very nice UI, but has a lot of bugs, too many reboots and freezzing, Can't wait for stable release)

Maybe put in a poll to see which rooms people prefer. Put the versions of the ROMs too eg. ZEUS v6 or marvel v6 etc.
Kudos

I use Marvel A! It's the closest you can get to stock ROM for stability reason. Plus I have the option to remove all Bloatwares with Titanium Backup or Root Browser.
The advantage is "Peace of Mind" meaning I can finally use my phone as real phone releaving myself from endless flashing of new custom ROM bug updates everyday. When ICS comes out. I'll do the same method

[Q] What is the best ROM

Hi there people, since we have now some excelents ROM´s, and for people who are divided, just wanted to ask, in terms on 3d performance and battery improvements, what is the best ROM at this moment, since they are all great.
Big Thanks

In my opinion there is no best..
it's all about personal taste..
the best way is to carefully read all the topics, make a back up of your phone en give the ones you like a try..
so far i tryed: CM, Zeus, Marvel, Echelon and Sapphire..
I had problems with CM, the others are all very good roms.
You can just choose one but you can also try every rom for a couple of days and then decide what rom you like the most!

The CM I tried too and had problem too....I´m divided between Marvel...Zeus and Sapphire...The Sapphire is the one that i have now...but in 3d i think is a little poor....for example...the asphalt 6 becomes a little sluggish....
In Marvel....I tried the v4.....and in Zeus...I tried the V4.02b...
The Zeus was the best one that I had...but changed because of SoD´s...and in Marvel the v4 was good...but i think that there was something missing in the ROM...But I would like a ROM with good 3D performance and good battery life....

I think you should try Echelon rom and Zeus v5 Lite to
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk

Thank you for your advices...I will give them a try.

indeed.. if you want zeus right now you should try v5.03 lite
sapphire is good and fast but the theming is not something i like very much..
i like a rom that looks a bit more like stock.
it's echelon and zeus that i like the most..

Like sayed before thee is NO best Rom.
It all depends on personal needings.
If ur a "gamer" you want a Rom with max performance and oc-options
If u want to save the planet u want a Rom with longest battery-life possible.
So nobody can tell u: Use Rom XYZ and Launcher ZYX and ur done.
Rooting Android Phones and installing custom roms is all about personal needings.
So u have to read the topics to get some informations, and then just try out wich rom + launcher fits best for u.

I also agree to say that each rom has its pros and cons.
The ones I tried on 2.3.4 :
- CM7 nightly : always got some bugs, in particular with audio and bluetooth headset;
- zeus 4.02 : works great, but occasionally got some freeze/screen-of-death ...
- echelon 01 : minimalist and clean ui. Recently installed and find it very fast and stable. I hope it will still be for a while
I did not try other gingerbread roms

i tried:
1.zeus from v2 to v5.03 and it is my daily use rom.there were bugs in early versions and of course sod on some but since Huexxx released the lite versions the rom is great, fast and stable with excellent battery life and many options through zeus script..really love that script.
2.some late cm builds and temasek's last 2 kangs.not for daily use for me
3.ligux:really liked it a lot.hope we get stable cm so ligux becomes stable.bugwise it is like cm..
4.echelon:really liked it since the theme is based on ligux.fast and stable.hope to test it fully themed.hope gabwerkz keeps on updating.
5.sapphire:fast and snappy especially with the new tweaks that can be installed afterwards but i guess i prefer something more minimalistic themewise.
6.marvel v6:this is the only marvel i used(i use it right now) and i really like it.very good for daily use and fast, snappy like zeus for me..i always use golauncher and marvel, zeus are the smoothest with it..personal opinion of course.battery life very good so far.
7.lewaOS:tried it for 3 hours but i had many fcs.it looks nice but very early build.it is fast though.
i also tried TMR (miui themed based on v20b) but for like an hour.
bottomline is that we have a lot of choices so it is difficult to pick one.but the future of black seems bright..
if we get stable cm then the possibilities will be endless..
i am going to try LFD today..

Just try Zues 4.02b and it's nice though I got LGSetupWizard error 2 times and freeze once
I think marvel 6 is also nice hope I can try it

my advice is to try zeus 5 if you want to try zeus..
today i tried Echelon again and this time it is really awesome..
Fast/simple.. Definitely my favorite!

hello.*new member alert*
i started using custom ROM from a week before.
i have tryed all of the rom under the forum.
but i loved the work of this dev named acxyut. both of his rom is very good.i use prada for soemtime and then now i use the saphire.
but i get confused because i see he always call himself as a noob and not a dev.
i use the sapphire for now am i think it is best because i get very good performance and especialy the battery life.i loose no battery in night. not even 1%!!...also he release many theme app for the rom. i feel this rom turned into a full project.
but is he really a noob???if so, how he got so many thanks and how he know so to make a rom??
i am a noob, can i meak a rom also??

He is a cook, and he has some basic skills, I'm a noob too and I've made a rom, you need to learn some things first, basically if you have some basic coding skills you can cook a rom, but only professionals and experienced devs can port and make rom from scratch and fix bugs.
Trolling in the deep

Dude, I'm a noob and a cook.
noob is a person that doesn't know much about code, and a cook is a person that can follow recipes to make roms.
Research what is what, learn and maybe you could cook your own rom

@gumm: read up buddy. read chef central. read the how to's. setup ubuntu. try. but as re4lsk said, dev nd cook are not entirely same.
nd one honest advice: if you like any work of any1, be it a ROM, or an app, whatever, APPRECIATE it instead of DOUBTING the credibility.
and btw, hoe can you "CHEAT" while creating a ROM???....is it an exam paper??
no flames please, but i find the essence of the post of yours @ the prada rom thread of mine somewhat offensive.
there is a nice thread by nooby at the general section. read that up. use the ROMs for a few days and see how p970 is. what the files are. what u need. and i do actually have some basic skills.
if you think i can help you in any way, please drop in a PM
