Where look at when install new rom - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I want to install a new rom on my galaxy s.
Where have i to look at when i install a new rom? I want a stable rom with no battery drain. And what is better for a stable tom; deodexed or odexed?
Thanks for all the help and suggestions maybe.

Well no battery drain is not possible, you are right.
But now I have a rom which is in a few ours from 100 till 20/30. That's not nice. When I use the rom, a bit whatsapp, I see the percents go down, really fast

after trying many roms, I've found stock to be the best regarding battery gps smoothness... just my 2 cents. So I'd suggest you to flash the latest stock JVT with odin, flash cf-root kernel to get root, remove some sammy crapware, apply $omator mods to get rid of a couple of minor bugs and you're done. I also tried miui and lately cm7.1 but they're far far away from stock jvt.

All gingerbread roms are highly alpha| beta, my advise is to stay away from them, and wait for the official release (couple of days/weeks)

I would agree...I am sure the current Gingerbread based ROMs are great, but they are based on leaked versions of beta ROMs. Unless you really know what you are doing or love the risks of the bleeding edge, I would stay away from them.
All signs are pointing to official Gingerbread firmware for the i9000 hitting Europe in the next two weeks. Once that is freely available, I figure the devs here will have fresh ROMS based on Samsung tested, properly released code out within hours/days...not so long to wait.

I just flashed this rom few days back and it's working like......knife goes on butter...
benefits:
1. It's 2.3.3
2. very smooth UI
3. longer battery life & lots more
Gingerbread launcher is not there but I installed one from market (check the one from Eugene373)....all together it's cool & I did not face any issues yet!!!
Flashed my few days old Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.3 rom. So far, everything work without any problem.
Since there is now stable releases of gingerbread, are there any custom roms for it? i cant find any :/
Are there any kernels for gingerbread also?
You can try ColdMod Rom... its beautiful with TW 4.0 which works nicely with good battery life... i have no complains abt it and im using 2.1 improvent of ColdMod

dont know yet
I switched from Darky RC 5.3 to Juwes 4.2 cause Darky is little bit unstable for now. Juwe seems pretty fast and compatible.
I was using darky rom so far but now i want to try something new (darky is still on 2.3.3 which has the battery bug so i use 9.5).
So what 2.3.4 rom do you recommend? It doesnt have to be "blazing fast" , good battery life will suffice
Thank you.
How about Stock Gingerbread Roms?
Is there any rom stable and without bugs?
I use stock JVQ downloaded from samfirmwares with SpeedMod t23 and the auto brightness fix. All partitions converted to ext4 (/system too).
It is really responsive, no lags at all and I didnt find any bug (except the auto brightness but like I said there is a fix).
I also use tegrak to overclock it to 1.2 Ghz but thats optional, it is already really fast !!
confuse every rom has characteristic
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
im doing the ext 4 right now.. im not quite sure what it does, but ive read a lot of good things in it..

Which ROM you use and why?

For me:
SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000
Blockbuster 4.0 JVR Magnificent
GalaxianGT SP2 Kernel
FW: I9000XXJVR -> Android 2.3.4
and why? Because blacktheme in Blockbuster is good for battery life and galaxian kernel is one of the faster
I was on blockbuster and I also liked it because of the dark theme, but after I saw that CM switched to gingerbread bootloaders I gave first CM a try and was impressed, then I tried MIUI and it makes the SGS totally new, so I will stay with MIUI now, I have also a very black theme .
Juwes 5.2 JVQ with Semaphore 1.5 JVR at 1.2 GHz and GingerWay BlueOcean RC theme (The best theme around). So far the best of all the worlds.
Smooth Fast and Super-stable. No FCs what so ever. All apps are working as they should. Also I deleted some system apps to make it light.
Only one word for it.... Beautiful!!!!
MIUI
Galnet MIUI Couse its stable fast and extremly easy to theme'
I actually use DarkyROM, because of the theme, it's really nice!
Also like Symply GSII
So this thread will be to develop an all-hybrid rom , gathered sources from every other ROM out there?
seriously if you don't know where (more like how) to post on a forum, just don't.
I personally love the look of GalnetMIUI, and love the speed of Darky 10.2... but currently im JUST using a rooted copy of UGKG3 w/ TW4.5 by fragg0r. Simple, effective. And my battery life is insane. 24hrs later, 10% loss w/ some calling, a lot of texting, and listening to music.

I am not happy with the new ROMs that pop up on XDA. It seems like everyone makes a ROM because they can, and none offer anything exciting/new, barring a few of course. I'm on Simply Honey JVP ROM, but I'm looking for a suitable replacement.

DarkyROM 10.2 EE with Darkcore 2.9.3 kernel
Why1: because I wanted to start fresh and DarkyROM 10.2. EE had it all in one nice zip package bundled with Odin. The installation was pretty straightforward http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
Why2: because the official Cyanogenmod is still at RC for the SGS and its guides to install are not so user friendly. I followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide and to my stupidity I paid little attention to "This guide assumes the Samsung Galaxy S already has Android 2.2 installed on it" and flashed the wrong kernel and then did not have SGS booting for a while, freaking me out, until I installed an Android 2.3.x compatible bootloader.

Unfortunately there isnt a custom kernel that works with UGKG3, BUT when i use a custom rom i prefer Galaxian or simply just SpeedMod. I prefer those two because they have less issues when i use them, and they're stable and fast.

[Q] Dead Slow Stock ROM. Pls suggest ultra fast custom ROM.

I am on stock rom and I cant explain how slow it is. I dont know what has happened to this phone but earlier it was just fine. Now it responds too slow. I did a factory reset and took it to Service center. They re-installed the ROM and gave it to me. 2 days the phone was ok but now again it is dead slow.
The phone doesnt have more than 15 apps installed. Since i got the new SGS II this is my secondary phone. Earlier this phone used to be fully loaded and never got such problem. Pls help me to install a fast custom ROM in this phone.
Thanks..
Here is the details of stock ROM.

Try ICS maybe if you don't mind the video recording and some other little bugs.
Try Simplicity
try miui.us

U can try my ROM . See my signature.
How good is MIUI? Is there any official guide to flash that ROM since i dont know much about this stuff..
Well I'm on gingerreal 1.1.9 JVT and have to say its a very very strong ROM - I've added thunderbolts tweaks 2.2 and Semaphore kernel 2.1.1 JVZ - and the ROM is very smooth and quick. It is also quite stable with no reboots, FCs or applications/functions not working. The latest one based on JVZ is out but I haven't tried that. I also use GO Launcher EX instead of TW and the response feels quicker and smoother. Overall I'm pretty happy with it instead of stock - I get about 1 day battery life with heavy usage and up to 2 days with moderate to light usage.
you have to try them all to see whitch one really fits your needs... =)
start at least with the three most popular, the most active and the most up to date xda samsung custom ROMs:
- Jetpack Mod
- Symplicity
- S.U.R.F.A.C.E.
some (relative) new ones that may be interesting (diferent category):
- DoctorZ ROM
- Sauron
- Amestris
- ...
but there are even more custom ROMs...
certainly try CM7, Insanity, MIUI and ICS

there is no 'best' ROM, only one that fits you 'best' but what do is important, is a clean and fast Base

Thanks Sam. Yesterday I flashed MIUI 1.12.23 and till now i see a lot improvement. Response is good. No FC or Reboots so far. Nice and clean UI with useful options. Kinda looks like iPhone. LoL..
I had 2 ROMs in mind. The most popular, CM7 and MIUI. I saw a problem with CM7 that it doesnt have native gmail and other google app support. So immediately shifted to MIUI.
I believe, just like ROM, a fast kernel is also important for overall snappy experience. Which one do you suggest? Is semaphore 2.2.0 is really good?
I know all custom kernels/roms are good but just asking for the fast and stable one.

Looking for ROM

I'm looking for a ROM that will be able to make battery life longest, and stable, not many new things.
Stay with stock then
Sent from your phone
Use either official stock or custom based on stock
if youre gonna stay with official stock use cf root,lagfree and turboboost
and delete useless system apps
U can find list here
Go flash 2.2.1 official rom through Odin......

I got the Ace with a version of 2.3.7 of cyagon and then I replaced it with with KPH of 2.3.4 so every time that I use factory reset it will go back to 2.3.4.
The problem is that in this version I dont have internet, only when I install ROM the internet is coming back.

you can try the ace of spades rom based on cyanogen mod. the developer has made several tweaks to performance, speed and battery life.
go for the v1 release though, v2 is still a bit buggy atm.

May be stock roms are the best. I-ve tryed with several Cyanogen but.... all of them have general problems. Roms based on stock are better, but I have problem with flash on some sites or flashlight apps don't work with LED on the backside... So finding of good custom rom is too hard...

Rom recommendation for a long trip..

Hello,
I'm currently using DarkyROM JVH v10.1 with the Dark-Core 2.4 Kernel (Firmware version: 2.3.3) on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
I've been using this rom for a year and a half now, but right now it's too laggy and the phone tends to hang or crash from time to time (it did work great in the begining though)..
Battery barely lasts a single day..
I'll be going on a long trip of 8-9 months in a few days, and would like to flash a lightweight rom with a minimal amount of apps (aside from music, WhatsUp, Skype, etc).
I need the phone to be fast and reliable (I'll probably be using the WIFI a lot), and most importantly, the battery to last..
Nothing too flashy.
I've learned from a few posts around here that CM9 roms or SlimBean (I think?) might be valid options, but since I'm short on time and can't test them or other roms - what rom / kernel would you recommend to install?
(remember I won't be able to replace it for another 9 months..)
Thanks a lot!
I think that the best for you could be to flash the elitemovil ROM based on ICS or jb too. Cyanogenmod and slim drain more battery than elitemovil's ROM and that ROM is very very very fast. I use the jb version and it's stable and daily driving. Try this fantastic rom

Even though it's JB?
Some posts here claim that ICS and JB are far more laggy and buggy than their GB counterpart..
I thought The I9000 is more suited for GB..?
Best rom for i9000 - ics333
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I have flashed quite a few GB, ICS as well as JB roms and have found INFINITUM-sgs-LBR-v1.1.1-M5 is the best ICS rom that I have ever come across. It's rock solid and has extremely good battery life. Unfortunately, the development of this rom has been discontinued. Having said that, you can search the forum for this rom. Let me know if you don't find it and I'll try to upload it for you.

Though I'm a big jb fan and use it on a daily basis, I am also of the opinion that when push comes to shove, gb is the most stable.
That doesn't mean that you cannot have a rock solid jb rom, but there's more research and reading involved to avoid issues.
Meso, gamerz and saurom are all great gb roms if that is where you think you're going.
Regarding ics and jb, experiences vary so much that one cannot state a logic general argument as to why one is better than the other. Perhaps with the exception of that if you have one of the newer sgs with the faster chip, fishears' cm10 rom is specially built to take advantage of it.
Sent from horseback.
I doubt I have the newer chip, I've had this phone for almost 2 years now..
So I should pick one of those:
elitemovil (ICS, JB)
ics333 (ICS)
NFINITUM-sgs-LBR-v1.1.1-M5 (ICS)
Meso (GB)
gamerz (GB)
saurom (GB)
So many options :silly:
I guess I'll have to research a bit.
Thanks guys.
Just you wait, I bet if the thread goes on for a bit, there will be every rom in xda listed here

I have tried many ROMs but the best performances and battery life are with elitemovil's ROM
Also cm10,cm9 and SlimRoms are more battery drainers than elitemovil 14.1v4

I m on Helly Bean [4.1.2] - aprox. 2 days on edge, gps off, wifi 20min daily, 3hours talking daily.. you should try it.
Okay, I think I'll try Meso, sounds like the safest option..
I'm having a bit of trouble with the installation though, the guide says -

How to install:
1. If coming from version after jvu (xxjw4/xwjw5/6/7/8):
install directly, if u get problems, do wipe data/factory reset and install again.
2. If before jvu:
-Install 2.3.6 jvu stock using odin
-Root using cf-root for jvu
-do a full wipe, then flash the ROM
3. If coming from ICS
-do same steps like above (if before jvu)
Click to expand...

1) Darky's version is XXJVO (Baseband) or JVH (Kernel, Build..).
No JW
I guess it means I need the newer stock? Where can I get the right version..?
2) Shouldn't I disable all kind of lag-fixes or other sorts of dangerous stuff before I flash the stock?
I remember Darky's guide was preety detailed about that, but there's nothing on that now and I'm afraid to mess up the installation..
3) Is Titanium the way to go when backing up camera pics / message logs / othe personal data which is not the currently installed apps?
Thanks..
I don't have a link right now, but search for ginger bread value pack, it's a bundle floating around here with everything you need for a good base.
Disable lag fixes to be on the safe side.
Yes, tb is the way to go. If you get issues when restoring, enable "follow all symlinks" in troubleshooting options. My backup root is also an alternative.
