i would go to simply honey it's simpler and really good. im not on simply honey but looking at the specs of the rom it seems really good. however front camera doesnt work as it says on the ROM and you need to reflash another kernel!
another thing is they have took out apps that came in with SGS from the stock ROM some of it i find very useful. i think the speed of both ROM is quite the same ^_^.
thanks !! waiting for more people---and which rom offers more features? SH or miui?
(and I have SH 3.2 dont wanna update it to3.5 because there are problems with 3.5)
There are no problems at all with 3.5....you're getting crazy man....you're paranoic!
Try and judge!!!
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.5 Revolution ROM
simone201--i've already tried..
there might be problems!! now I have simply honey 3.2 so I dont want to upgrade due to all the problems in 3.3 . (and as I said- 3.5might include some problems too)
p.s- why am I getting crazy ? lol? it seems you are..
waiting for more people and help please..
please help me guys.. need more comments
FFS.....
Do your parents still cut the crust off your sandwiches for you.
Just flash the rom and find out for yourself. If you don't like it... Move on to the next.
WOW.. what a noob 10 years old... next time use your parents in order to understand what I've written before posting a new comment!! (sorry for you..)
need help please!!

Please, stop bumping this thread and making new ones!
This is terrible, you cant compare those 2 roms.
And you said you've tested them both, so why not use that one that's better?
if its hard to understand, the word "them" means to simply honey 3.2 and 3.5 !!!
of course I can compare ONLY about the CAPABILITIES
(about how the room feels/looks/ beutiful or not-- all this things of course, I will decide by myself and im NOT asking for that)
NOTE- if you have nothing helpul to say to my question and you just wanna say negetive comments- do NOT NOT NOT answer!! its not the place for you
people please help me.. !
Dude, both are awesome. But you can not compare the two ROMs! Simply Honey is 2.3.3 based and MIUI is 2.3.4 based!
The difference in features are very minor, maybe a little here and there. But basically both are equally good ROMs. Try it out for yourself and see which one you like!
I'm currently running MIUI MCGv3 which is fantastic but it is not quite as complete as the stock custom roms like Juwe's or Simply Honey, two of the biggest let downs being the lack of an FM Radio and choppy MKV playback. But in saying that it is stunning visually and has a lot of cool unique features. I haven't used Simply Honey only Juwe's so this could be a little biased. All in all you'll have to try them out yourself, different rom's for different people and different needs.
vijaykanth--- thanks god that's what I want to know -- "The difference in features are very minor" omg thanks finally someone understands!! well I hope your right..
Shrapnel2--- thanks you very much!
still need more people and comments
**and what about the speed? the speed is preety much the same in both roms or one of them is way more faster?
(and look guys, all about how the rom looks and feels of course I will decide by myself.. im looking for the rom who has better features, and fast rom. so thats what im asking if the features, speed, stable and all this stuff are the same +- in both roms or not)

The main reason I moved to MIUI from Juwe's is that I was getting bored of the same old interface even with changing round png's in the framework and modifying bits and pieces- everything still looked bland to me. Speedwise I think that if you compared the two(Juwe's or Simply Honey on ext4) you would find them to be fairly close, I think lists tend to load faster on MIUI but it has been a while. Stability is fairly good but not 100% of the time, eg before settings Force closed on me, no biggie though as I had apps fc on Samsung GB roms too. Another thing to note is battery isn't the best on MIUI, you'll easily get a day under average use but don't expect three day marathons like some Samsung roms do. So good luck on picking!
each rom is better if the person likes it .I use miui but before that i used simply honey and it was good but i like miui better .It has lots of new features
I installed Simply Honey 3.5 the day it was released, I was previously using Darky's Rom v10 and I was very happy with the change. SH is visually beautiful, I installed Dark Core kernal after installing it to fix the bluetooth issues with CF-Root.
The front camera is still displayed sideways but thats no concern to me since I barely use it anyway. Love the new lockscreens, the market is a bit odd to look at but it doesn't bug me too much (if it does there's plenty of themes out there). After flashing the SGS2 email apk I was very pleased with my phone. It's been a lot more snappier than Darky's and haven't noticed any lag at all..
I'd take Simone's advice and install SH 3.5, you wont be dissapointed =)
Just try both for a full day - you can revert to your previous one anytime with a nandroid backup.
as far as I've understood -after restoring applications, the andorid market and applanet might not recognize them as 'installed applications'. then, I will not be able to update my restored applications
and thanks everyone!!! waiting for more comments..
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
At the moment I am using a stock 2.3.3 ROM on my SGS.
I wanted to ask if custom ROMs bring anything special to the table.
I remember using Cyanogen on an old HTC Magic. I liked it but the GPS didn't work, the camera couldn't zoom and the alarm didn't work either.
Can someone recommend me a ROM with decent battery usage, a GPS that works and without too many bugs? Thanks in advance
I would like to ask the same thing.
I was using GingerReal since the last months but in i9000 the development has stopped so I am looking for a rom:
- Very stable (the most important things because I hate software crashes).
- Kernel customizable by the user (I prefer semaphore and dark core).
- With a good development and constant new versions.
Could anyone help me, recommending us a rom?

i've tried various roms incl goatrip,gingereal,simply honey,surface,darkky etc but i've found simply honey to be the smoothest in my experience..
and when it comes to kernel choose galaxian or talon both very good...
The last CM7.1 nightly #70 is very stable and have a really good power management.
ive heard wonderful things about simply honey, although i have never used it lol, I do however like the look of the new sgs2 rom (unsure of its name, its in development section) it looks really nice and reports of it being super fast and stable....
however... all that aside, I am a MIUI user, and i would HIGHLY recommend trying it, especially if you are willing to flash anyway, The features are incredible, the customisation is epic, and the speed and the overall look is plain awesome.
Battery life has dramatically improved, some users get 3 days on a single charge, everything works as it should, and GPS (for me) has never been better...
Before you decide, just have a look at the various MIUI threads, Look at some screenshots and some videos, read peoples comments, I have never looked elsewhere since i switched to MIUI 4+ months ago....
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.

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.

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!

I m making this post because I am curious as to what everyone thinks in here .
so what is your opinion witch one runs smooter on your phone and what advantages you see in abuild vs the other .
P.S. I will state my opinion once a few have answered so that my opinion doesnt give a direction to the thread /
Matter of opinion but generally speaking i9000's roms tend to be have more features since source and leaks come out first. I personally prefer native i897 roms because of audience chip support and they just run better imo.
^ what he said.
Bln, customized kernel splashes, working nandroid, hsupa, and ext4 (which is not even needed just thought I'd mention it) for I9000. But they all run with their little quirks ;/
I897 has much better battery life for me and runs smoother IMO, don't really give a crap about the audience chip, never talk on the phone.
Also another trade off is upload speeds.
well here is my take on this .
i897 pros :
Native f/w : i897 users can benefit of there provider's feature (mainly referred to as bloatware)
Audience chip support
Placebo effect : ?the illusion that running a native rom for our phone changes something?
i897 cons :
obsolete updates (note that lately Samsung has leaked many f/w and seems the Captivate is catching up to the i9000 ) but if you are running a native i897/i896 based rom chances are your a few month back in development
3G vs H no brainer here . I dotn use data myslef but its a Deal breaker for many .
Sources for Gingerbread still not released for our device , there is only few that can be done on the kernel side witch is one of the most if not THE most important thing on our phone .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i9000 pros
H vs 3G . I dotn use data myslef but its a Deal breaker for many .
Kernel Source
f/w updates are more often and more recent in other words :
more support from samsung
more language / csc choices
more developers = more development
i9000 cons
they use to be many .. but truth is there is only one reason and that is the audience chip support ...
IT all comes down to this : Audience chip support with either obsolete f/w or basically stock kernel vs Data speed latest f/w more support from devs and Samsung .
these device are the same minus front facing video camera , FM antenna and h/w buttons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I owned my i896 I have run all the stock f/w possible on my phone :
i896 i897 i9088 Vibrant based rom ( Axura ) and i9000
About Battery Drain :
the most performance I have ever run on my phone was the set up that drained my battery the most .. makes sense right ? tweaking your phone for smoothness at a level where it doesnt eat your battery can be tricky some apps may drain your battery one day and not the other day (example apps didnt close and kept draining silently) .
Ill tell you all a secret about cooking a rom , other then the kernel theres nothing that can be done to make battery life better , a rom chef can do things that will make battery drain worst (for example installing unstable apps or doing other stuff wrong ). but in the end the choice of kernel / modem combo, your display settings (#1 battery drain on ALL of our Samoled phone) and of course OC/UV settings, these are the only things that impact your phone 's battery life , for the rest , everytime you flash a new rom if somethign is wrong , reflash wipe your battery stats and let your phoen settle ( few charges and discharges ) .
Please dotn take my point of view personal about battery drain , everyone is entitled to there opinion on the matter , some ppl prefer stock odex roms with rooted stock kernel , I prefer to have my phone tweaked / themed customized Overclock and drain the battery like mad on it some ppl dont , these ppl should stay away form custom rom ESPECIALLY those developped on CLOSED SOURCE KERNEL as 99% of there battery tweaks are placebo .
hereI said it
I9000 is what I prefer, runs faster and has more features but uses more battery. As far as audience chip I only notice a difference if there is alot of background notice, like my window being down in the car. I897 roms are sluggish for me.

I can say that Native I897 GB rom (2.3.3,2.3.4,2.35) have an incredible battery life. I have gotten up to 48 hours with any recharge. If you look at Fasty III, it now has added Ext 4 and Voodoo video to it along with init.d, that allows for major tweaks.
PS I have gotten up to 2526 quadrant score with Tegrak on Fasty III KI2
Hear hear!
I agree completely. As one who flashes a different ROM every other day, I can tell that most of them are just skinned and themed versions of the same thing. Some devs have better skills and can tweak configs to make android run better for some, but there are so many users with differing essential necessities that it is hard to optimize the system for all users. For me personally, I use the actual phone app maybe an hour a week, so the lack of the audience chip support isn't a dealbreaker for me, but for some it is essential. And I have tried every GPS tweak and hack and config with no success, but I don't rely on my GPS on my phone (not since that trip to NYC... *shudder*). OF course if that function is essential for you, you have the wrong phone.
I was just thinking that it would be great if someone created a ROM that featured system and apps optimized for a density of 200, but it would essentially be running the same base as all the other ROMs.
The best ROM I have used battery-wise is Andromeda 2.2. Great battery life and stability, but unfortunately is several revisions out of date. The smoothest performance I have had is also the one that murdered my battery, CM7.
I would rather see a couple base ROMs that devs would then offer themes, tweaks, and patches for so that we could pick and choose what is needed for them. My 2 cents
Great idea opening this thread DAGr8 !! Lots of newbies will have a general idea on how things are in the cappy land ,on that note this should be stickied.
As for me I'm more a i9k guy, mainly due to the better kernel support. Like to tweek myself so battery is secondary as I took for granted charging to phone daily ever since the smart phone era impacted my life.
The only reason for me to switch is the audience chip. Unfortunately I had cpl of, well not so happy responses from the other end of the line regarding call quality, but when in a peaceful nature the quality is good.
Like the way how the cappys kernel support is shaping up, but still there's allways that lack of source that holds the guys back. Would like to thank all you devs for making our cappys be what it is today, imo a captivated sensation
You left out an option Dag, what about AOSP? I would have never tried to flash MIUI/CM7 before it became a simple flash with CWM, but since it is that easy now I have flashed MIUI and I love it. I've tried going back to Samsung roms, but end up back here after a few days.

Great point CM is not true aosp but close enough at least , reason why they are not added in this thread is because I am not a fan , of the way it runs on our device (great job by the devs) but seem like the i9000 family were never made to run true AOSP , CM built on true aosp phone like nexus tho thats somethign else I am definitely an admirer . if ppl are willing to share there experience with CM I will add 'the option' in the op 's title eventho im afraid this coudl become a war between TW fanboys (ilke myself ) and CM fanboy ..

Understandable. Just didn't want the aosp'ish followers without even a nod.
By now everyone should know my alliance is with the I9000 stock ROM. At&t meddled with the I897 too much.
At times I am torn betwixt the two...but for now, with all the i897 leaked firmware that has been of late, and that along with all the great Dev work on this side of the house, I choose the i897.
For me, it just works. The leaks, since KF1, have had excellent battery life. The noise cancellation is a great plus. The capped upload speeds a minus I know, but worth the trade. The firmware bugs have been getting resolved. Themes, mods, extras, etc. are really good. And the phone running on the i897 gingerbread firmware is fast, responsive, and a pleasure to use.
Anywho...my 2 cents. Thanks again to all devs.
I ultimately had to ditch my i9000 rom for two reasons. First, I just couldn't find a modem that was good for both voice and data. It was either-or. Second, bluetooth is unusable with i9000. I have a car with bluetooth connectivity for calling and I like to use it, so that was a deal breaker for me.
I will stay on i9000 rom for now.
But i897 rom/kernel can provide sharpness fix, voodoo sound, lagfix, I will turn to i897 rom.
I have try i897 GB rom before, i897 GB rom have excellent battery life and noise cancellation. But I can't accept samsung stock rom horrible sharpness quality.......

i prefer to the I897 ROM ，when the GB source published，we will get more more developers and it will more eazy to mod our Rom
@DAGr8, can we flash any i9000 rom that hasn't been ported to the Captivate as long as we are using a reoriented i9000 kernel like Talon?
Or are there specific things done to Captivate ports that are essential for it to run correctly?
