Hi all again
I'm currently on firmware 2.3.4 with simply honey 3.9 revolution with semaphore jvq 1.3.0 kernel and i'm getting board of it.
I am looking for a rom that must have voodoo control and great visualls?
Could someone please point me in the right direction with some links PLEASE.
Cheers

Galaxian Kernel got all the new stuff like Voodoo v10, BLN control etc ..
And for the visual you can look at the theme section.
I was on Simply Honey 3.9 too and have now gone to EXTRAordinary 3.2
I had to flash back to stock JVQ before putting EXTRAordinary on though. I did try going straight from SH to Eo but got bootloop.
EXTRAordinary 3.2 so far is amazing! Fast and responsive.
Not sure whether is has all you are after but for me i love it due to it being so fast and simple.
Comes with Galaxian Kernal too

Hey there guys,
I've had my Galaxy S for about a month now and thinking that its about time to get rid of 2.1 and go for the big 2.2.1 jump.
I just want a stable, fast and reliable version that I can get a speed fix installed on and I want battery percentage.
With so many ROMs out there can someone reccomend a good basic stable ROM to update to? And as a newbie is there a easy walk through that I can follow.
I've that there is a couple of gingerbread releases out there. Are any of them official stable versions for the Galaxy S?

Js8 + rom (most people go for darky 9.5)

From my own experience I can recommend Criskelo Rom - stable, reliable, fast.
But really, you should choose on your own because there are some differences
People would call me boring, but I like stock JS8 + Voodoo Kernel
I like Doc's JS8 because of the kitchen and they always work flawless and are super fast. This way i get what i want the CSC/Modem for my region and only the apps i want. I used only two ROM's Darky and Doc and i prefer Doc due to customization and actually find it much faster then DArky even though Darky's has a higher Quadrant score. Main reason for me not to use Darky is im in Canada and the ROM is more or less geared for europe.
I have never had slowness/lag problems, everything is quick and snappy and this is with lagfix off. Using Speedmod K13c with recommend tweaks on and no lagfix.
When official 2.3 comes out from samsung that is the only time i will update as its PREFECT right now.
+1 for Doc's ROM.
I like that you can customize it the way you want it, choosing the modem, csc, kernel, apps, etc. So you can just install the ROM from CWM and that's it, all working in one go.
I have Doc's JS8 with Damian's Kernel with all ext2, and it works great, IMO, smooth, no lags ever, great battery life. All I ever wanted.
HOW? You'll need CWM to install it (You'll need to flash a kernel with it using Odin if your phone doesn't have it yet.). Just go to romkitchen.org and customize your own ROM with all you want/need, download the generated zip file into your SD Card and install it. Simple as that.
Using
Rom: - Doc V11.1 - ZSJPK,
CSC: - XEU
Kernel: - Damian v1.3 beta 3 (EXT 2)
Modem: - ZSJPG
Undervolt: - 25mv (not stable for anything higher......my phone issue)
Overclock: - 1.280 Ghz
Stable, fast and smooth. Battery life is good as well.
Are you already rooted? If not SuperOneClick works well with stock 2.2.
Next, the easiest kernel to flash as a firsttimer using Odin is definetly Speedmod. Hardcore's instructions are clear and exact. This will give you Clockwork Mod.
Finally, build yourself a ROM in Doc's Kitchen. You can control exactly what elements are installed and the walk throughs linked to the main Kitchen thread make it dead simple.
After you have used one of Doc's ROMs for awhile, if you wish to you can try one of the more baroque custom ROMs like Darky's.

Another + for the Rom Kitchen and big selling point is that the forum is not littered with posts saying this rom broke my phone .

I for one really like Serendipity 6.3! It´s stable, fast and goodlooking! Its GB themed btw.
hi all, please help me out with this Q i woz on firmware 2.2.1 i woz using hardcores speed kernel k13 500hz and darkys 9.5 extreme and it woz good till i got a bit cheeky in the speedmod settings and semi bricked my phone ie. stuck on galaxy s screen so i done some more research which i should have done to begin with and i basicly decided too reflash the pit file,pda file,phone file,csc files using odin i used i9000xwjv1 gingerbread firmware so now have firmware version 2.3.2 which is great but not fantastic! im thinking about flashing darkcore 2.0 kernel and darkys romv.10 rc6 anyone done this? or think it would work? i appreciate all feedback cheers everyone
flash darkys rom. R10C6 is cool , no FC or bugs atm, stable fast and very good battery life
flash the kernel first !!
ahaa
cheers mate i'll give it a go and let you no how it is how much will this improve speed do you no ? as im kinda lookin for some extra horsepower
i peeked at a few of the 2.3.4 ROMs and it seems that they're all heavily themed or modded.
is there one that is close to stock with only a few tasteful mods?
thanks
2.3.4-For Captivate, no. For the i9000, there is JVP& JVQ. You have to use a reoriented kernel with the I9000 roms.
2.3.3-For Captivate, kinda. UCKF1 is a leak, but a very stable one. Cognition 5 is built off the kf1. Since kf1 is a leak, it can't really be called official stock.
thanks. looks like i'm gonna grab a stock JVQ ROM. any recommendations for a kernel that would work best with that?
PS. i was looking at the stock i9000 roms on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
I would go with the Talon kernel. It has a lot if features, plus you can choose from 4 different clock speeds (1000, 1200,1300& 1400).
Asfor downloading firmware, I would go to www.samfirmware.com. They have a large selection, but you will have to register (free) to dl anything.

Try out the latest Talon kernel. Works great with the JVQ ROM I have.
so the stock samfirmware ROMs are preferred to the deodexed ones found here on XDA?
ty!
I prefer to dl from samfirm if I can, buy I think you would be ok using either.
gave jvq with talon a shot. got the home key working (except haptic - trying to fix that resulted in boot loop). put aosp theme on it. looked amazing, however i found that set up a bit sluggish than i'm used to, and also the the touchscreen seemed a bit insensitive.
so running 2.3.3 kf1 now. like it so far...
Apex 8.2, JVQ, 2.3.4 ...... It look like Galaxy S2 stock... and I recommend you DarkCore Kernel... Talon is so laggy for me!
Hi...
I've only made a couple posts on the forum...
Updated my phone a while ago using the xda developers and had great success but reading through the lastest posts, im a bit confused and lost as to the best available updates...
I'm currently running an update from keis...
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband I9000XXJVO
kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL82937
build Gingerbread.XXJVO
My main desires would be a new rom with root, a lagfix (there are so many?) and a battery lifes mod of some sort (never used these...)...
Has anyone got any advise / recomdendations??
I'm a bit of a lamen, and no programmer, but I'm confident to flash and use odin etc....
Thanks in advance
i recommend juwe's smart edition 5.3, it has ram script,excellent battery life. it is a complete rom. if you have any other questions post them on my thread "Ask me anything, i have the answer" ,it should among the top
Jetpack is new, clean, professional, fast, smooth and battery efficient so if you want try it!

Darky's 10.2 extreme edition with darkcore kernel and voodoo sound and lag fix. Full flash tutorial is on the darky thread, fast stable and decent battery life. Everybody had their own personal favourites, read up on the roms and pick what suits you best. This is on a gb 2.3.4 base
You can use Martux rom.
Its a good one for starters. Download base JVR from here - Matroux Rom Flash it via Odin. Clear instructions are given there.Then flash any JVR kernel preferably semaphore 1.5 via odin. Then copy Martux Rom to ur sd card and flash via CWM.
It's only about what you prefer.
Myself am flashing a new ROM each day just to try them out.
I think I'll keep Hybrid.
I want to change kernal so I can over-clock, the supermod kernal which was included with Simpley Honey is ok, but not that fast.
So I need your opinion on something maybe "Voodoo" but is an easy flash with Odin, but wont brick my phone, last time i flashed supermod on its own via odin i soft bricked my phone, but that was not with Simpley Honey.
So suggestions and links are most appreciated
Try semaphore kernel.
Galaxian is the best

kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
The TOP 3 are:
Semaphore
Talon Kernel 4.4.21
Galaxian
Thanks folks, now, in the past when i have changed kernals with odin, i have ended up soft bricked. Am i safe to go from current dark core kernal to one of the above ?
Talon comes in CWM package and its been safe for me. I have been trying it from 4.3 versions. So far all's been good. Try Talon 4.4.21
