[Q] Can anyone recommend me the best GINGERBREAD ROM out ?

I am a bell i9000m user I guess I should say that (I'm using the 850 band i.e. JL2 modem with Froyo)
I am looking for what is generally considered the best / fastest Gingerbread ROM.
Is it CM ? I heard Juwe's rom is good too. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Is Darky making one ?
Cheers everyone

does Darky have a gingerbread ROM ?

i think darky has / is making a GB ROM, all it takes is for you to look in the development section to see what ROMs are out there.
official GB is out now, JVA / B / K all gingerbread.
if you want a custom version, you will have to do some searching, as it really depends on what you want, Im using MIUI, its GB based with excellent Features.
CM7 is smooth and super quick and is also GB but still has bugs.
so depending on what u want, just have a quick search and read the OP !!

Try my ROM, is based on official Gingerbread JVB and it has got a lot of mods and fixes...
A lot of users are happy with it! XD

Go for Simply Honey - the best I tried so far.

Best ROM threads are incredibly stupid and pointless. Try them yourself and see. It's all a matter of personal opinion.
IMO any ROM based off of a given Samsung firmware is going to perform nearly the same, the chefs just do a variety of small changes/optimizations/modifications, they can't really alter what Samsung has provided.
Kernels make a bigger difference than ROMs by far because we can actually modify the source code.. If you don't want to have to decide just flash stock ROM and then flash a custom kernel. I like Hardcore's but he doesn't have a Gingerbread version yet.

I'm on juwe rom and its really nice. I've also heard that simply honey if really good as well.
I'm also bell

ONE VOTE for Juwe long life battery more than 24h with normal user love it

Have been on Darky V10 RC3 for a few weeks and it works great. No bugs, good speed, no lags, etc. Yesterday I flashed Juwe's ROM and so far I'm impressed ... Seems smoother than Darky's ROM ...
SGS I9000

Goatrip 1.7 was the most stable rom I'm currently running.
Power saving, cool UI, mostly important, stable, you know.
I tried CM7, it was quick and beautiful, but many FC

I tried all of them. Crickelo, juwe, andromedia, goatrip, darky.
Now i ues criskelo 35. Not much difference between them. Just themes are different.

And another opinion: DOC's rom. The last Beta (v2.1) is running great.

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

+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

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] Looking for a ROCK STABLE rom!

I have been tired of replacing ROMs over and over, lately I tried 4 different gingerbread ROMs, but I had various problems with them.
I'm looking for something, that have the stock look(or maybe sgs2 stock look), and never need to be changed/wiped. 2.3.3 or 2.3.4.
Please if anybody using a ROM for more than ~2 months, and have absolutely zero problems with it, let me know which one is it. I'm looking to get good battery life, and smooth operation even with live wallpapers, even after 200 application and widget installed, even after months.
Thank you everybody for any help

i can suggest u to go for simply honey roms.. its stable, fast and offers good battery life!! hope this helps!

What about stock JVQ?

Darky 10.1 !!!!

Darky are stable, not the fastest but really stable, Darky Core 2.9 with Ficeto JVP Rom is a good choice for stability.

Flashed stock JVQ and Speedmod kernel, converted to ext4. It's quite quick, but the battery consumption is horrible...
I'm slowly giving up...
Does JVP has better battery drain?

+1 here! I had that rom for as long as i can remember. Stable fast-ish and the battery life is acceptable. I charge my phone every 1-2 days (depending on usage) using the OEM battery.

Darky 10.1 jvh ee

Go for it..
Darky 10.1.. its fast as hell..

[Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?

Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.
Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?
Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.
As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.
I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.
What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?

I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.
Roms i have tried are:
Juwe
Darky
Simply Honey
Galnet
Stock (obviously)
and now EXTRAordinary

I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.

How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?

I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.
Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.

Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.
Haven't tried darky's.
blockbuster 2.4.5

Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).

I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.
Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..
T

Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:
GINGERREAL latest
MIUI 2.3.4
Extraordinary 3.2
Juwe 5.0, 5.1
Blockbuster latest
Simply honey latesr
Cm7
Darky 10.1
So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.
At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.
The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.
Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.
Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Ive tried lots of them,have to say that EDB 1.3 with galaxian kernel is good all around.Very good battery life.
Forget all that is cm,darky etc..

How did you go about installing the ROM with galaxien kernel?, because EDB 1.3 Darky 2.8 Kernel

I tried edb and far estraordinary rom with galixien kernel is the fastest.

lets just say that im not that fond of darky thingys.

I have tried Tiramisu Evo 6.5 Juwe's Smart Edition 5.2 and EXTRAordinary JVQ 2.3.4
Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....

Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.

Darky rom (JVP or JVQ) with dark core kernel is fastest

Try GingerCriskeloV77 mate, I hopped from one ROM to another and stopped at this one. This is based on semaphore kernal. Had bluetooth issue but resolved with new semaphore kernal 1.3.2 Cheers

Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.

Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...

The most Stable +Best battery rom?

Hello xda,
I've been off for like 2-3 months so I dont know much about "new" roms.
My current rom is 2.3.3 Darky's 10.1.
So what rom is really stable + has good battery?
What do you people recommend?
Thanks!

for me stock deodexed JVS 2.3.5 rom + darkcore 4.0 kernel.... normal usage 1day8hrs....

I like CM7 best but your mileage may vary concerning battery.

Thanks guys.
I'll try to find a good one

Darkey's 10.1 is still their last one (to my knowledge) and a very fast and stable ROM, but these are pretty good too. "F1 SGS II" and "F1 InnovatioN" and "SYMPLY".

one of the best rom on jvs right now is jetpack rom v5 'spark' ot has amazing battery life ! while i havent flashed it yet and i am still on v4 because i dont have a pc or a lappy these days! but the users feedback suggest that its super stable and has mind blowing battery life! v4 has amazing battery life too and as jvs has better battery life ao v5 has superb itself!

The darky crew has since released 10.2(EE & RE) 10.2.1 10.2.2 10.3Beta and a JVS Base ROM. From my standpoint I found 10.2RE and the JVS base to be much more stable, snappier and have better battery than 10.1 and others have claimed the same about 10.2.x in regards to 10.2
Now finding stock JVS With semaphore to have even greater stability.
Sent from my A501 using XDA App

for me simplicity 0.4 with semaphore 1.6.. i get around 1d2hrs with moderate use

You must consider lastest stock XXJVS, it's stabe and has a very good battery life.
But for me I'd stick with lastest CM7.

Best looking ROM: MIUI
Most unstable and worst battery Life: MIUI
In my opinion.
Now im searching for something stable + good battery life.
Testing Darky 12.2.2 atm but idk which kernel i should use
