Which Gingerbread ROM is the best?

The title pretty much says it all. Which of the available Gingerbread ROM's is the best?
Or should I go back to Froyo and wait till Samsung releases the stable version of Gingerbread?

I'd personally just use a late froyo for now. Gingerbread for me hasn't had any real advantages honestly (and my phone kept crashing at the beginning when using navigation, but stopped now, and it crashed once when enabling wifi).

I am also staying with 2.2.1 until sources and a final version of 2.3.3 are released so that the geniuses here can do proper lag fixing and strap on the bells and whistles we have come to expect.
However, if you are into running the bleeding edge and don't mind a little less speed and few bugs or feature gaps compared with 2.2.1 roms, I would imagine all the Gingerbread ROMS are about the same with a few advantages and disadvantages to each. I know Simone101 does good work so you could maybe try his Simply Ginger ROM or take the stock rom from Doc's Kitchen for a spin.

Wait its still far to early for development on 2.3 to be at a full finished stage .

I was using stock JV1, stock JVK, ultibread, darkys 2.3.3 RC3. I am very satisfied with gingerbread especially with browser speed

I have tried several of them. They have all advantages and disadvantages. Personally I prefer Darkyys ROM, but I cannot tell you an "objective" reason.

I have gone back to Froyo Stock (JS8) and will wait for an official Gingerbread (or a custom ROM based on official sources.)
P.S.: At least for today

Ok I am on Ultimates v8.2 atm. I might change to Simple Galaxy Gingerbread RC 2. I was on RC1 and it was laggy and had a lot of mistakes.
So I am probably staying til lthey release the official Gingerbred ROM

Stock GB had a battery problem so i flashed honey GB but i did not like it.
Then i flashed Tiramisu EVO EXTRA 3.1. İt was fine. But when i saw CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v25 is ready i flashed this rom. İt has everything i have.

Why not try flashing with insanity? It's given my phone a whole new lease of life!

I found the latest darkys to be very quick and smooth. no 2.3 has bln so if you want that you will have to wait. I also had terrible battery on darkys 2.3 rom but others using the same rom have said they get improved battery so I would give it a try and see how it is for you.

Hi Karim!
Install the stock jvk and after that a deodexed stock rom from Ramad along with Chainfire work you'll be happy...but!...it depends on your needs...would you want to take a little advance by looking into system(little differences in it),or maybe begin to create a custom with the deodexed rom base and it worth it.
If that's not the case,you can wait,nothing hurries.

I'm running MIUI RC3c and it has the BLN built in. Works fine here, and the base is 2.3.3.

New to captivate

I just got a captivate last night and i have unlocked and and rooted it
it has a firmware of 2.1 - update 1
idk if thats the most recent update
i was told i can not update the phone with a t-mobile sim card in it so can anyone post a thread on updated versions and what do you all think is the best rom?
THANKS

There is no "best" rom. It's what's "best" for you. Read the forums and learn to flash 2.2 roms first.
I must warn you, flashing becomes very addictive.

I recommend trying MIUI, the customization is what puts it over the top!
Here are a few different versions of MIUI:
Galnet**What I prefer**

I've not been on 2.1 since phone came out. I would use odin one click to goto 2.2 stock. Root it then install cwm and then follow this guide if your going to try Galnet's MIUI.
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum/guides/(guide)-i897-galaxy-s-captivate-gb-bootloaders/
Then just pop the MIUI.zip on root of sdcard and install from CWM.

Wow... so... You should probably READ a lot more before flashing anything, but I'll give you a few hints to get you going:
1) Make sure you understand what a "PBL", "SBL", "Kernel", and "Modem" are and how they are placed/installed in your phone.
2) Learn how to correctly and safely use ODIN (and/or Heimdall).
3) Learn about the various methods of recovery for "soft bricks", and if necessary for your hardware revision, possibly invest in a jig (also learn what a jig is)
4) There are 2 different types/branches of ROMs for the Captivate:
-- Samsung Branch
-- AOSP Branch
Within the "Samsung" types you have:
- i9000 ROMs (like JVP, JVR, JP8, etc)
- i897 ROMs (like JF6, KF1, etc)
Within the "AOSP" types you have:
- CM7
- MIUI
- Other AOSP-based ROMs
Which is "better" is relative. CM7 and MIUI have features that aren't present in the Samsung ROMs, and both offer a bit more customization than the Samsung ROMs. However, only the Samsung ROMs offer GPU accelerated video playback, and they tend to have significantly better battery life than the AOSP-type ROMs. Also the Samsung-type ROMs used to be much more stable than the AOSP branches, but recently, the tide may have turned in the other direction. Some of the low-level radio settings are also unavailable in any of the AOSP builds. And finally, some of the Samsung stock camera features are unavailable in CM7/MIUI.
It really all depends what you want... Do you want closer to stock "open source" Android? Or do you want Samsung's vision of what they think Android should be?
Also, the whole kernel/modem part is dependent on what branch of ROM you plan on running. When using a i9000-Samsung ROM, you pretty much have to use an i9000 kernel and modem. When using a i897-Samsung ROM, you pretty much have to use an i897 kernel and modem. The rules for CM7/MIUI are a bit more vague, but at the very least you'll need to use a CM7/MIUI (most AOSP-type kernels are interchangeable) compatible kernel.
The best advice is really to try them all out and see what you like the most. If you're currently on stock 2.1 (which it sounds like you are), at the very least you should upgrade to some variant of Gingerbread (2.3.4 preferably). You will definitely notice a big difference in terms of speed and functionality. From there, well, it's all really up to you...
OR alternatively, just start throwing stuff on your phone and see what happens. Just PLEASE don't come crying back in the Captivate General forum with a "OMG I bricked my phone!!! Plz help!!!" thread. Fair warning...

Just a suggestion, but become familiar with Odin one click. Make sure your captivate has 3 button recovery, and read, re- read, and read again the directions of every rom before you flash it. Always make a nandroid back up if possible, and read the threads.if you have questions, so did someone else and the answer is probably already out there .use search. Some People will rip your head off if you don't. as far as miui goes .....i was a flashaholic when I got phone. After switching to miui, It is very unlikely that I will ever leave. Best rom ever imho. And it updates every Friday so that satisfied the flashing urge. Usually it gets better with each release. The last couple have been a little rough though. Might want to spend the 8 bucks and have a download jig on standby. Can get it from mobiltech videos. Its worth it though

a very simple and easy way to start with...
2.1 is eclair..
2.2 froyo
2.3 gingerbread..
means 2.1 is oldest and 2.3 is latest in case of official roms..
so obviously new version will hav more features and faster in speed...
so now u can take baby step and install 2.2 ..and use it for few days..and get the feel of it..then again after sometime u can install 2.3...
or else u can directly jump to 2.3....which is gingerbread....u can install stock kf1 on ur phone..its leaked official gb...if u search a bit..u will get it..
then u can use it for a lil while and get the feel of gb stock rom..in the meanwhile u can read xda abt available custom roms..and then install any of them...
coz every memeber here in xda will suggest the custom rom they r using..coz they r lovin the rom then only they r using....like for me..since the time i started flashin..i always used APEX ROM..so i will say its the best....
but again thats just me..
so decision is always urs...

Downgrading from JVR to JVQ

Hello Mods n Modders,
This is my 1st post and thanks to Admin for launching this website...
My SGS i9000 is currently on stock v2.3.4 JVR (rooted by flashing 'semaphore' kernel) and now I want to downgrade the current JVR to JVQ, in other words, I want to flash Darky's v2.2.2 ROM(w/o touchwiz), which is more stable I guess
So, is it possible to downgrade from JVR to JVQ without bricking my new Galaxy S??
Also answer.. is Darky's latest JVQ really stable than stock JVR (in terms of battery, speed and least buggs)??
Please help...
p.s: I can't post this question in Developer's section due to very less quantity of post

Yes u can downgrade by flashing JVQ from odin and download firmware from www.samfirmware.com
Sent From Galaxy S....using XDA App.
Creator Of Doctorz Rom.

I can't say that Darky's ROM is more stable, but it is faster, and obviously provides more functionality than the stock ROM.
If you're really set on speed, try Faryaab's F1 SGS2 ROM v6.
This is by far the fastest ROM I've tested, with all the stableness of most.
I've even tested the v7 released this week, but it is not nearly as fast, so I agree with the downgrading option because I've done the same.
I've tested 3 ROMs on JVS, and 3 on JVR, but this JVQ one is still my favourite.
Also note, that you can always flash the system apps you liked from the JVR version you were using previously, there should be some system apps around on here...I've flashed MMS, Camera, Email, and Phone from other ROMs I've liked.

hi ph03i!x_SA
I need a ROM to be very close to stock 2.4.3, - rooted, fast but not overclocked, and most important is the battery efficiency. Till now I have never been on Modded ROM. I liked the way you have customised SGS according to the stability and I wud really like to mod my SGS like that. I will try both of them

Custom ROMs don't always look different from stock

I think you mean 2.3.4?
You can still get the stock ROM, I think from samfirmware.com. Then, again, you can still flash custom apps, but you have to root the stock ROM.
Anything is possible, as long as someone has either released an app you like, or a version of the ROM you like.
I never thought I'd get so involved with this custom ROM stuff, I also like the stock firmware, but after I rooted, and the lag of updates from Samsung officially, the need arose. But the F1 ROM looks like the a cross between stock ROMs of SGS and SGS2, so it's still clean. None of that messy battery icons, custom notifications bar, etc. I don't like those.
Enjoy
Be careful, changing ROMs becomes addictive.

I agree with you.I used to do modding some 6-7 years ago on my old Motorola v3i and then on SE w810 ...but I will be sure I wont get involved in addictive stuff, since more responsible things have come up now!!

[Q] Perfect ROM

Hi doods
I'm A new G noter
I want to ask about a perfect ROM based on official.
I had Xperia Neo before this one and theres a very very good ROM for xperias
by the name of SE.Tweaked.
it's absolutly the official ROM that excess app and sys app are removed on it.
is there any thing like that for note that deliver a speed and costumization ability beside that every thing working perfectly on it(pen and ...)
Thanks a lot

Rocket & Litening ftw!

For custom GB roms, I have tried Rocket rom and the newer Litening rom. In my opinion, both are great and definitely worth considering.

For the GB, I have tried DarkyRom, ChrackRom, CheckRom, Cassie's XtraLiteRom, and Litening Rom. I found them very comparable in performance and battery life. For ChrackRom you have option to install a full, small, and extra small rom. I am using Litening Rom right now. I might go back to ICS Stunner rom, I like the Stunner rom except that it is not as stable as the GB roms in my SGN.

I really like ICS Stunner too, but you might want to exercise caution using that or any other ICS LP5/LP6 leak based ROMS until an issue with potentially hardbricking your phone during flashing is resolved.
If you're interested, there's a still experimental (but as far as hardbricking safer) ICS CM9 build that's really cool over here:

Hiya there ! I'll seize this opportunity to avoid creating a post of my own then ! I'm like Arasl, though i bought my GNote in february and i'm still running a non-root, stock ROM because i'm sort of "afraid of flashing".
First, i've never done it before, and since i'm a Linux user i've been searching for ways to do it through linux instead of the Odin/windows method but i'm now pretty much resigned to use Odin (seems simpler, methods actually do exist and there's more feedback, though any hint towards linux-oriented methods would be great).
I've restrained myself from flashing ever since i saw the brick-related posts from ICS Stunner ROM and i do NOT want to flash that ROM.
My questions are then following :
1) Is it possible to ROOT the phone without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1 ?
2) If it is unsafe to flash ICS-based ROMs, is it 100% safe to flash gingerbread-based custom ROMs or is there still an important risk of bricking the phone?
I can imagine most people will answer yes to the previous question and in that case, which ROM would you advise that is both light (and smooth, since the stock ROM is a little laggy on the edges) and the most battery-saving?
Thanks for any hints to existing posts, i've been looking around but i just don't have the time to read the hundreds of pages of custom stock roms to compare them all by myself ;-)

Just use the latest cm9. Very safe and beautiful. If you need the spen functionality then use gb..

If by any means you are ready to work on windows, i would gladly help you in all these...although in a RISK on anything happens on completely you only.
I, too as being flasholhoic, flashed almost every ROM here in the development section both GB and ICS, every kernel, so i will try my best to avoid any risk but god-only-knows-the-best. As per your question,
1. Yes you can root your stock rom without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1, Go here and select the right kernel and follow the procedure.
2. Official CM9 is the only (yet most) safest ICS build here, the rest being suffered by the ultimate phenomenal hardbrick bug. And yes its safe to flash any GB rom until you are switching it from GB to GB rom only.
The most important thing, take enough time to read read and read (even query) the instruction before flashing anything, or else you can have ample amount to time to read anything with coffee placed on your new bricked note. Choice is yours.

[Q] ROM Suggestion

I know you guys are probably sick of this question, but I really would like to hear what ROM you guys recommend for the Samsung galaxy S i897 captivate. There are soooo many choices. I am used to using gingerbread on my previous phone, so I am looking for gingerbread or higher (I am @ 2.2 froyo now) , with stability being #1 importance. Thanks for your suggestions.

We're up to Jelly Bean now, if you're on froyo, you'll need to flash the GB bootloaders (can be found in the dev section in stickies).
If you're looking for stability over anything, AOCP by the Collective would be my suggestion. Of course, every user have their preference but the 2 most stable ROMs I've used on JB are AOKP by Sixstrings and AOCP (either stock kernel or semaphore).
Keep in mind that the more mods you make once on your ROM, the more chance you have to break something (that goes for any ROM).

As he said, make sure you get the bootloaders installed before moving forward. As for my two cents on which ROM to choose... I haven't used AOCP since it first released so it is undoubtedly much further along than the original build. My personal favorite is Hellybean but with the installer the dev uses you end up having to download a large file compared to other ROMs.

Thanks, I am doing a lot of reading. *head explode*
I liked Andromeda and AOCP.
Since the phone is used, I restored to factory (but it stayed @ 2.2). Looks like I need to go to 2.1 factory. From reading I think I should use the Heimdall method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 to revert to stock and flash GingerBread Boot-loader. Then I will follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983079 to install AOCP (JellyBean 4.1.2).
Very nervous about this lol.
Thanks guys.

Actually, you should be getting stock KK4 (GB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
From there, you get Odin 1.85 flash Corn Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 - This will give you root.
Now you can flash the ROM you want in cwm recovery as per their instructions.
Happy flashing!
