[Q] Your Favourite Rom and Kernel combination? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been expermienting with a ton of Roms, my favourite probably being Cyanogen Mod or Darky's (who would have thought) whats your favourite Rom and Kernel with i?, im currently on Darky 10.2.2 Final Semaphore 1.8.0
personally i think semaphore works better than Dark-Core :O its got voodoo colours and it has better quadrant scores (i know quadrant isnt a relibable source, but we all know that deep down, we all secretly care about the scores )

At the moment I'm using Semaphore 1.8.1 with the Stock (Deodexed) JVT 2.3.5 ROM.
I do admit DarkyROM is good, as that was the first Custom ROM I started to use. But now I've moved on.

CM7, any kernel. It's all good.

CM7 and stock Kernel.
Noob question: What is the advantage of using a custom Kernel.. wouldn't have the Cyanogenmod people changed their Kernel if it wasn't optimal?

[Q] Best oc/uv kernel

So I used to use the super optimized kernel for it's oc abilities, but since I've flashed darky 9.4 I can't use it anymore for some reason, so does anyone know another kernel to use?
Have you tried DamianGTO's Kernel? I do love this kernel. Although I'm on Doc's ROM, I think it may work on Darky's 9.4, since it's also based on JS8. It has both Odin and CWM flavors.

[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.

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..

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...

JVS worths the drill?

so im currently using stock JVR with semaphore kernel and the battery life is good as well as the rom is pretty stable, but im feeling tempted to try JVS
is it really worth it, any noticeable improvemente on the rom or something
i dont really want to backup my entire phone again if its not worth it
cheers
Definitely not worth it. I tried it and some 2.3.5 custom roms and there is no speed improvement or anything but there are issues with the wifi. If you have everything set up on JVR you should stick with it. I was on 2.3.5 and reverted back to JVR, which IMO is better and the most stable of the last few releases
I think JVS is the best of the GB release for our SGS. One problem is, that there some of the kernel devs, that made stable solutions moved on to other devices, so choice is rather small. In case of JVS it's merely DarkCore or Voodoo.
TW is much better in performance terms compared to JVR and earlier. I don't know if it is worth it, That's you r choice. I tried every new version and found some improvement in every single upgrade step (some steps backwards were also included, but one step back and two ahead is still an improvement).
well, there are stable JVS kernel releases but the issues with the wifi won't be fixed properly until another release or Samsung release the source code of 2.3.5. Ficeto who develops darkcore confirmed that and Damian who develops the tornado kernel also said that. For now I would stick to JVR but if you wish you can try JVS - I reccommend the Tornado JVS kernel.
Thanks for the info for now ill stick with jvr

I'm currently using JVS with darkyrom 10.3 with the JVS base which is in beta at the moment & kernel's Darkcore v4.0. Everything seems to be fine...except the battery drain is crazy! Don't know if it is the ROM itself because the 10.3 JVS base is still in beta. I was on JVQ before with Darky's 10.2.2 and battery life was not too bad.

[Q] Best kernel to go with DarkyROM 10.2.2 Final?

What's the best kernel to go with DarkyROM 10.2.2 Final?
I've heard good things about Speedmod. Is it really that good?
i always used galaxian and i was very happy
Do you know if it's compatible with DarkyROM?

[Q] What Kernel are you using with what Rom and why?

As the title suggests I would like to know what kernel people are using with what Rom and why.
Do you use the same Kernel with every Rom you flash?

Well im on stock 2.2.1 froyo with CF-ROOT kernel. got this phone as present lats week. haven`t flash it yet xD but ,as anyone here, i just love flashing
I am using cm9 nightlies - based on 4.0.4 because of its stability, good battery life and performance, settings + twics - tw launcher, weather widget and some other things from sgs3, atm with devil3 .79 kernel, with stock ram (378mb, if needed, i can increase it up to 403mb), stable oc up to 1400mhz (with semaphore 1140max., 1200 -> bootloop), also gpu is oc-able ... but if u dont want to oc, semaphore kernel is better for u
I'm reinstalling right now the miui speed ics by lucainno, with devil3 kernel. I really love this rom expecially for the layout, which is different from any other rom! The speed is great and battery life as well. And the kernel is simply... awesome! For its customization
Hi, I'm using ics 4.0.4 cna by franzy with the midnight kernel. I had the devil before but i got a bootloop. With the last midnight the phone is smooth, no lags, good battery life, no bugs until now !
Saurom jw5 + semaphore + ext4 works for me.. very smooth ops. Sticking to 2.3.6 for the fm radio

I'm running the CM9 nightlies as well, with a Semaphore kernel. Very stable and good batteri life, although I'm thinking about comparing with a devil3 kernel. Right now, with the battery life I'm having the most important thing for me is the stability, though.
