Hi all, wow just rooted my sg2 and now want a good custom rom, any suggestions please, also is VooDoo control out yet for sg2 and if not is there any simular app within a custom rom that will do the same as VooDoo Control ie boost the volume etc as i found this app to be superb on my old samsung g1 ,
Hope to hear soon from Brian
Theres no voodoo or alternative yet for the gs2, I played around with my gs2 last week when I got it rom wise and found that a few of them are kinda unstable at the moment (cyanogen for example)
At the moment I'm running Darky Rom V2 Rom Here
and instead of running the supercore kernel Im running 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine 2.1.3 Kernel Here as it does have a really good battery life and overclocking ability if you look at the benchmark test on the kernel page im getting another 2000 ontop of that, current score is 6235, that with a few things running in the background. After all my playing this is the best currently available in my opinion.
Hay mate first this is the s1 forum.
Second i test many room on my Gs2 i think darky is very simple and no major difference from stock rom....i think u should try Alienware rom its cool man and have ninptimine kernel and u can overclock this to1.6 and u can earn 5100 point on qudarant and too much fast.

hello fellow!
i read all relevant post regarding what i'm about to asking but i'm not convinced.
please XDA i'm going to upgrade my SGS gt i9000 on gingerbread
&
i want a custom rom with all lagfix,fast phone & better battery timing.
the main feature i'm interested in is!
i want the moving dock(i think that what it called)where we find 4 button of phone,contact,message,app, on the front homescreen with 7 pages.
in this dock all installed app can be seen at a time by moving it seperately on the homescreen.
there is no stable gingerbread rom atm
What you are looking dor is a scrolling wallpaper just look it up and its not invluded in any rom, we don't have gingerbread on this phone yet. Darky and Dics rom are pretty much the most used rom botb are really easy to configure, darky uses an app from the market and Docs is a web based kitchen. Lagfixes come in kernels, both darky and Doc let you choose the one you want Harcore Speddmode and Supercurio's Voodoo Kernel are the most used but don't let you OC your phone.

zimmbi & GOTFrogqc thank you for your reply.
GOTFrogqc; your reply was really helpfull.
so tell me if there is no gingerbread for sgs gt i9000.then which os should i get for my phone.i want gingerbread please.....
try darky
from my experience, darky rom resemble Gingerbread the most. Compare to other ROM, most additional "features" of Darky ROM were the modifications everywhere (Theme/Icon/Config) to make it resemble as much as possible to the Nexus Ging! I remember a moment Darky changed the boot animation to the one of Nexus S and made it as "feature", then he changed the fingerprint of the phone config to 2.3 and made me beleive that my SGS was Ginger LOL! but it's all over! he's listen to his user, and constantly improve his rom right now. I always think the last stable version of Darky ROM is one of the best rom, and I recommend it for someone who like the taste of Ginger (just theme). And I'm looking forward to taste the official Darky ROM 9.3 with JS5.
As for now, I recommend latest Kitchen DOC/Stef + latest SpeedMod 250Hz + R64 theme (plus Go Laucher Ex + AppOrganizer if you have 313 apps as mine ^^!). No need to lagfix (because there is no more lag to fix ^^) except if you want a higer quandrant (which means nothing).
I do NOT recommend any OC-UV kernel. It fry my phone, give me headache to config the Voltage, the smothness improvement often is not noticiable, but the battery usually drain faster. I think its the reason why hardcore never add OC-UV feature to his kernel (Yes, I think he is very capable to do that)
Thanks for Doc Stef Hardcore R64... to make my phone beautiful and fast.
i would personally recommend darkys rom. I only took the move to install a custom just over a month ago and now my phone is working the way it should be - smooth and fast. if its your first time i would recommend installing his 9.2 resurrection rom - there is an easy to follow guide on how to install it from the main page

+1 for darkys
I've heard a lot of good things about Darky.
I personally use seeArm's Custom ROM because it uses the JL2 modem which I need for the 850Mhz band. I may eventually try to flash with Darky and then write the JL2 modem on top of it, but that's a bit more risky so i'll try it later when i have more time.
Rom Kitchin build your own rom .

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for the best configuration for my galaxy s. I flashed the Vodoo Kernel 5.4.1 Stable from the officiel Site but Quadrant said my galaxy s has 999 Points ..
How can i take the most points of my galaxy s?
Which Rom is the best? Which Kernel is the best?
Thanks for your help !

My current configuration has 10,000 points in quadrant.
But it'll cost you $100
Why ? Cuz #stupidity-costs
Quadrant benchmark does not says "real" scores...
Try things instead of relying on benchmarks.
A good start would be to run a recent rom (android 2.2.1 like JS5), something light if you want speed (like essential rom or doc kitchen if you want more stuff in it). About kernels some of them support OC/UV (like hardcore kernel) also ONE nand kernel are very smooth (but can be problematic if you plan to get thousands of app...).
So if you want real speed I would say Essential rom + trasig kernel (one nand).
If you want something fast and useful, go for doc kitchen rom and K13C kernel or laststufo super optimized.
Note:
Before flashing your final rom, make a clean flash with repartition using odin.
The best configuration is the one that you like best and works the best for what you want to do.
For me, that's either Doc's ROM with hardcore kernel or CM7 if I feel like it.
Thread reported, this is not dev, pointless discussion.
There is no BEST ROM

best config for me cm7
cm7 ftw
samsung galaxy s cm7
archos a101 urukdroid

so what works super smooth would never go back i can live with those small bucks
why do you need a high quadrant? if it is just for your friends as a "contest" u could use some ext2 loops but it will just fake your results
cm7 ftw
samsung galaxy s cm7
archos a101 urukdroid
desire hd stock 2.2.1 :-(
Move this to Questions section, so everyone can post the version he is using as the best configuration .

Personally, I think CyanogenMod 7 for SGS is much smoother when you scroll things. But animation and speed is the same.
if you looking froyo version then it is darky or simple galaxy or ultimate rom but u must also do a combo with kernels like damiangto or speedmode or others...just do a test and u will se what is your perfect combo and desire u want =)
thanks ill try those roms and see which is quicker
but can i put a different kernel on custom roms cos i tried a kernel for overclocking on darky and it kept freezing
Ahola!
I can personally recommend insanity 0.6.6 with gto 1.1 gold kernel. its fast and responsive as hell. Try to keep it as minimalistic as possible to keep you speed. Get a 2000+ quadrant every time and with ext2 flat and some tweaks you can get near the 2500 without oc Going to flash ultimate with gto 1.1 gold today. Will keep you updated!
Thanks will wait for your updatee
stitch
i flashed insanity 0.6.6 with 1.1 gold kernel and i only got 1472 in quadrants
can u tell what i should change in recovery mode so that i can make it quicker, im a noob so can u do a step by step??
just flashed juwe's 1.5 smart edition rom, man its good, i think its the first rom smoother than darkys without OC kernel...

Change filesystem to ext2 with ext2 loops for the best performance. You can also do without loops or ext4 with ext2 loops. Not that this will make you lose data when you do a battery pull. For me performance is more important then safety, never had any trouble but be aware.
Check this link for more info on the system:

Im on simply galaxy now and for me it looks better than insanity and is just as fast. (Note that I stripped away almost 100 mb and replaced some of insanity's work)
Still on Damian's kernel and its fast with underclock (800mhz) and undervolt (-100), have 2 full days battery now!
Also quadrant doesn't say anything. With the right tweaks you get a 3000+ score but actual performance is different. Just try some things see how scrolling, navigating, opening a lot of apps and games run. (run n64oid games or dungeon defenders, this will require a lot from your phone)
In the end its all about preferences but there are some huge differences. I was on darky untill 2 months ago. Soon CM7 and Miui will be awesome, check their process in a few weeks
yea its true, i used to get quadrant score of 1800+ with OCLF but things kept force closing,crashing a lot, the quadrant score may show u the computing speed but in terms of multi-tasking and real-time phone functioning i use Darky 9.3 and its very smooth and responsive, better than stock definitely (as well as OCLF)

I have some question:
I'm noob at using lagfix tweak in some kernel, I used to change to ext4, is it ok?
which kernel that I can choose ext2?
Can u show me the way to tweak insanity?
Is Tegrak kernel better?
Quadrant scores doesn't really matter.I get only 1000 with darky's 10 RC3, but it's ultra smooth ad lagfree.

Yeah man but it will be better with a higher both quadrant and real perfomance
I still wonder how to get near 2500 points with ext2 and some tweaks? I need your instructions.

I tried MIUI and CM7 but due to camera and FM player was not good so I still looking for Froyo
Ginger ROMS cannot modified like Froyo Mod Kernels.
I was running miui and could not make a whole schoolday wich includes 2 hours music listening and some surf. I got 2.2.1 stock again now and its pretty decent. What rom and kernel is running low on battery??
im new to XDA!
I think u should go with Blockbuster 5.0 with galaxian EE kernel....i have same problem of battery but this rom fix this....u should try
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i think Galaxian is the best kernel
u should definitely go for galnet miui twoeey III or the latest chameleon RC3
just look in my signature below
I dont really know what i should go on but ill figure out tomorrow and probably flash tomorrow too.
ive flashed 2.3.4 and tornado rc2 with the tornado kernel, Every one says its verry smooth but when im scrolling in like market or surfing its pretty laggy ?? Isnt to fast when surfing at 3g either?
Beleive me stock rom with any custom kernel is the best.
Modify it by your self.Remove unnecesery apps with nitrality or sgs tool and you good to go.
Stock JVR+Semaphore kernel by Stratosk
I had Juwes Smart Edition 5.2 with talondev 4.2.22-1000/340MB, under clocked with voltage control, got easily 2 days +.
Blockbuster (with Galaxian) up to 12+ hrs with rather heavy use apps. (navigation and internet)
whats the best custom kernel & GB rom for the note?
does anyone know how many there are/names etc? id like a set thats lightweight and overclocked?
any help would be awesome. cheers

It's mainly up to you and your opinion what is better or not. I almost was fixing to say CM9, but read closely that you said GB roms. I'm not running GB anymore so I don't really know much about all the new versions of the GB ROMs out now. It is safe on GB so just try out different ROMs until you find one you like.
The franco kernel for GB is not supported anymore because he is on ICS now so that stinks that you lost at least one GB kernel that I used to use and can say is very good on GB. Speedmod kernel is pretty good though.
Well, best is relative to experience. I was on LC1 with speedmod k2-12 and it served my purpose.
Sent from my GT-P1010 using XDA
Well, i dont think there have a ROM that can name it as the best
Becoz all ROM are create for difference favour people
Example for me,i looking for a ROM with better battery life
And if for GB i prefer get Rocket ROM
So far , i use is ok for me ,only have a small bug with the kernal
Sometime will get SoD (Sleep of Time) but not long ,just around 20sec?
Other then that ,it is nice for me, especially battery life,it is quite a big improve
So if you asking my suggestion , i would prefer for Rocket rom
thankd for the info guys. rocket rom looks good. they type of rom/kernal id like is a light rom /w touchwiz no bloatware,fast,tweaked,good battery etc etc and kernal overclocked and fast also.
stock ROM maybe
For confused sorts and for those who want full functionality,I would recommend the stock ROM. If your much into tech info and can handle the tweaks then go for a custom ROM of your flavour.
I'm using KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v1.6 / franko.kernel for ICS r3, very smooth and stable with one *very annoying* bug, I can't change the lock screen's wallpaper.
I was running lp4 base-band, with Franco kernel on Checkrom...Quite decent, I would say.
