What rom to pick? (noob alert)

Hi,
My brother would like to use a custom rom. But he isn't technicsl at all, so i'm gonna help him with flashing. But i see too many custom roms available for the galaxy s.
Now i would like to know what custom rom you guys recommend us? I prefer a VERY stable rom which i can flash as one package using odin.
My brother currently is running on official froyo jpy.
Thx for your help ^^

for a very stable custom ROM i suggest you head over to www.romkitchen.org
make your own ROM to your own liking,
all you will need to do prior to this is get 2e / CWM recovery, either through flashing a kernel / CF-Root through ODIN, or apply:update.zip through recovery
EDIT: romkitchen seems to be under maintenance try http://romkitchen.org/m/ instead

Agree rom kitchen but not Gingerbread as its not ready yet .
Stable for me is .
XWJS8 rom with Hardcore kernel .
jje

I would suggest trying the insanity ROM. Very easy to install, quick, and stable.

Have to agree with JS8 + Hardcore kernel built by RomKitchen (see my sig).
I have tried almost every rom out there (including CM7, MIUI, JVB, etc) - they are all quite wonderful and each have their own pros and cons, but since I use my phone a lot (be it work or entertainment), I just need a ROM that has all the necessities (besides the obvious stability, performance, battery life etc) for me like Voodoo Sound, BLN, working 3D, working Navigation app and so on.

try juwi's rom..
it based om gingerbread 2.3.3 ..
perfect..

Rom kitchen is the most stable Froyo ROM you can get. GB roms are currently unstable (including the stock GB rom as they've been recalled pending bugfixes)

darky's rom amazing

Darky's ROM & Juwe's ROM v4.1 are quite good.

+1, haven't run into any show stopping bugs yet.

I have also used GoaTrip v1.7 found it very good but issues were BT not working and many times found lag in the system.
Currently on Juwe's v4.1 not such issue's. Works really well and smooth.

I tried every single ROM available in the Development section. Decided to stick with the DOC's ROM. It is the most stable, flexible and versatile.
JS8 + Hardcore Kernel
It has all the necessities including standard features + call recording. Battery life is very good. Works with almost any themes and supports most of the add ons. No FCs. Before, i used to change ROMs everyday which took so much of my time. I think, JS8 is the most stable and efficient ROM at the moment. I would like to try GB, but it is still unstable and lacks many features that I need in my everyday life.
Thanks.

After a bit of help from azzledazzle I went for Darkys rom well fast and stable,being new to Sammy's I had a bit of trouble at first especially when I just come from HTC s .
These phones rock especially with a new rom & kernnel

Yeah, I can recommend this one too, running Juwe's 4.1 rom in my sgs and it's very fast and reliable!

Try Darky's ROM 9.5 if you want a highly stable, clean and fast Froyo 2.2.1 ROM.
However if you want a Gingerbread 2.3.3 based ROM then you should try Darky's Gingerbread Edition Release Candidate 5 Build 3 over here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...darky-v10-rc5-3-captivate-users-welcome.2420/
Although I must warn you, you need to be more experienced and be able to solve your own problems if you are trying out the rc version of darkys rom if you overcome any, however many have reported it is highly stable and ready for daily use.

+1 for Juwe's ROM I think its wonderful but sadly it lacks good Hebrew support so I'm currently using PilotX which is also good.
You can always try this flashing guide.

Froyo i suggest darkys rom 9.5
Gingerbread i suggest simplyhoney 3.1.... the best roms... easy flashing steps...

[Q] Which rom should i use?

What rom is best and most stable?

JVT stock rom with the semaphore kernel.
or wait for the F1 Innovation ROM Version 15 which is gonna be released tomorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058814

thanks for the reply ill wait for the f1 and see

ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
love these rom

ICS from onecosmic ist really cool, but think about the problems.
Some Apps dont run with this rom. For me, there ist no connection with MyPhoneExplorer. Also problems with unsing external SD, because it is rooted to mnt/emmc.
After flashing GOA 6.0 and some other custom roms, i am at the moment on doctorz rom 13.1 with no FCs or any other problems. It ist smooth, all apps are running..for me the best rom at the moment.

First thing you should decide if you want a 2.3.x ROM or a 4.0.x release. Then you can decide which ROM is right for you.
Check the screenshots and see what you like the most. I can advice MintBerry which is very fast and good looking, but since it's not based on a Samsung ROM you're gonna miss the Samsung Apps (as far as you can miss them).

Stable - any stock ROM or Stock Rom based; you can speed it up by using a different kernel (try semaphore) and/or tweaks (Thunderbolt's). I don's advise any ICS based ROM: they are still a little away from what I call ''stable''.
As for best... well, it depends on what you think. My advice is to try several ones. Each user has it's thoughts on what they think it's ''best''.

i want 2.3.x because i know ics isnt that stable and alot of things dont work still..
currently im on jvq 2.3.4 flashed with odin ( i don't have cwm because i dont know if it will void my guarantee :/ )
and a user above suggested jvt but i also saw jvz and im wondering which is better ( both 2.3.6 )

I have tried lots of roms, I found galaxydroid 3.3 gave best battery life, but 5.0 lost it. I am currently using mitrerom, and this seems very stable, nice tweaks, boots very fast and thus far have no issues. I am avoiding any 4.0 rom, as they are still all in beta stages and can still have issues. Best thing to do, is see what you like and flash, flash and flash. You cant do any wrong if you read the tutorials and take your time, oh and dont touch the bootloader!!

Buttwad. Why not to post a link to that "mitrerom"? I can't find it anywhere.

can someone post a download link for odin please ?

GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best

Myhm... someone can.... first post here...

if i want to flash semaphore with odin i put it in the pda ?
it wont break stock jvz?

ANY kernel in Odin -passes as PDA.

JW1 with CWM-Kernel or SauRom ....

so stock jvz will work fine with semaphore 2.4?

bump :/ this is my last question

Witch Official Rom Is Best Right Now ?

Pleas post firmware link to best rom available

XXJVU Best for the time...

Not sure if it's an officially released ROM but JW1 seems to be currently the most stable ROM for SGS.

...Define 'best'?
i'd say JVT or JVU for general usage.
For something more exciting various ICS builds can be very good (although they are still RC's)
Flake x

Just a quick question. I want to give stock Rom + Custom Kernel a try. Is it possible to install any kernel via Odin or only specific one like CF-Root? (e.g. i wanna install Semaphore Kernel).
Thanks.
Oh and does the loading bug after 100% battery and on cable still exist? (Hope u know what i mean)

Upload the stock rom,root and then flash via sgs flash kernel (app from market) semaphore kernel.

[Q] Recommended Gingerbread Custom ROM? [This is my 1st time to flash custom ROM]

Hi to all,
I want to try a custom gingerbread ROM on my new OB. My current stock ROM is Froyo v10d.
Any recommendations?
Zeus v1 by Huexxx or Redy2006 or Novav11 or other mods?
Thanks.

U can try Zeus or redy's rom. These are more stable than cm as of now. Nova 11 is a kernal for cm7 not mod.

I'm proud of you, you don't come here and ask for a time...

Yess there are different custom ROMs like Zeus ROM by huexxx, which mainly is a rooted stock rom, with some tweaks applied. Then there is Redy's repack of rooted stock v20n and some deodexed (google it, but not important for a beginner) versions of rooted, stock GingerBreak (GB), then there is CM7 in different versions (some cherry picks and customizations), then we got Nova ROM, which is a HIGHLY tweaked and optimized Froyo based OS, and stock GB and Froyo ROMs.
You can find em all by using the search (upper corner on the right side), or by going here and scroll down (use mouse) sarcasm btw

Choose WHATEVER U like best! Everyone will suggest something else, since he/she prefers something else (speed, stability, battery performance, ...) Just flash em, try em and if you dont like it, try another one, noone can tell ya, what YOU like best...
Hope I could help you, if so there is a thnx button down there

Thanks for your reply.
I prefer battery on a ROM. I will give GB ROMs a try because GB they say has battery enhancement features the froyo.

Update: I updated my OB to Zeus v1 and this rocks. Very good battery compared to froyo.
Thanks guys.

i'm using xanadu rom based on redy's rom and i'm very happy. No bugs, no FC, good battery usage. I'm using it because I was searching for an original not touched LG rom, with root, but without LG stuff. Is refined lite version from 2º post.

I use Zeus V1 and its faster and clean (little lite) i recommend this one!!

Best kernel for JW6 ?

Hi !
I use Semaphore 2.7.4 with JW6 and though it's good, it still lags and the screen freezes at times. I am in Thailand but use Australian firmware cause officially there is no 2.3.6 for SGS here.
Tried midnight and speedmod but they are not so good for my phone. Is there a Devil's kernel available for this Rom ?
Somebody please advise me !
Thanks !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

There isn't Devil kernel for JW6, only for CyanogenMod 7 and CyanogenMod 9. I think you tried all of available kernels. You can also try CF-ROOT kernel (only root, without mods in kernel).
JW6 is one of the latest and best ROMs for our I9000, so I'm shocked that you are not happy with it. Lags? Freezes? When?
Maybe you have some bloatware that are slowin' down your phone?
If you want stable and fast ROM, flash stable CM7 and use it's stock kernel.
CM9 is also good, but latest nightlies have some random issues (eg. weird ringer, missing power widgets).

Maybe try MNGB by Mialwe. It's my favourite, because it has many features and is responsive and fast. I never had lags with the kernel and it is made for JW4/5/6!
