Which Froyo ROM should I use? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends!
I have tried DarkyROM 10.2.2 but I think I like Froyo more than GB. Can you please recommend which is the fastest and the most stable Froyo ROM avaible. Kindly recommend a ROM in which incorporates Call recording or in which it can be added later.
I tried to install DarkyROM 9.5 but somehow I wasnt successful in installing it, I always got an error.
BTW, is there a GB ROM with Call recording?
Please help as it is urgent...

I'm a big fan of serendipity. Go for 6.3 not 6.4.
6.3 was rock solid. I updated to 6.4 and got infrequent reboots. I am also rocking darky 10.2.2 atm and not real happy with it.
Will be moving onto something else when I get a new laptop

Thanks. Is there any other Froyo ROM that I should try? I am on Darky 10.2.2 GB but the phone gets very slow after a few weeks of usage.

Froyo ROM
Why not try stock JS8, SpeedMod Kernel, remove ALL the bloatware, should be pretty quick...

I rocked Darky 10.2.2 for a few weeks, some issues with it.
Now trying out "F1 Innovation v14" by .
Check it out HERE.
I like it so far, much closer to stock than Darky's, it's been a week, no FC's yet.

If you flash Froyo from GB make sure you have a rom with the correct bootloaders. Not every rom you download has bootloaders.
Also check update bootloaders in Odin.
Have fun!

[Q] what best rom should i chose for SGS gt i9000

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 .

[Q] Flash XXJPY Darky to XXJVK Stock

Hi,
I currently have Darkyy's ROM on my Galaxy S but I'm not very happy with it (bluetooth doesnt work and so on...).
So I want to install a stock firmware... 2.3.3 to be exactly.
I just found the Link in the Thread "Stock Firmwares..." but the filename is "I9000XXJVK"... my current firmware is "I9000XXJPY" - so is this a problem?
Would be nice to get an answer soon!
Thanks!
Which Darky Rom are you at? You should realy try 9.5 its the best ROM Darky has ever made.
But back to your topic, you should flash the JVK with bootloaders I guess or you will have a creapy screen at the boot. Stock JVK isn't a final Gingerbread. Its still beta but very stable.
Sent from my GALAXY S 2.3.3 using XDA App
no problem. just remove the lagfix and follow the procedure step by step.
if you want to be extra safe, you could flash back to stock samsung rom, with repartition and pit file, and then go to JVK - gingerbread.
aslong as you follow the instructions to a Tee, you wil be fine.
I'm running 9.3 and it doesnt work for me right. Bluetooth doesnt work, my music player starts random and much more...
Oh and I thought that JVK is the official one by Samsung.. so should I try it or should I change to the MIUI Rom for example (looks also good and is 2.3.x)?
i am running MIUI rom now and i have to say. ITS FRIKKIN AWESOME.
its so customisable, so completely different from samsung roms. i would highly recommend it, i have been thru every rom going, but MIUI is definately one to stick to.
quick updates, very helpful devs, issues fixed asap. overall 10/10
Sounds good so far
So I'm going to try MIUI, thanks azzledazzle!

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)

+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 ?
i cant find it anywhere
GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best
ty all i used stock jvz and maybe ill change it in the future

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

froyo to CM9 - how?

Hello guys,
I currently try to upgrade a froyo phone to the stable CM9 rom.
Whenever I am flashing the cm9 through CWM 2.5.1.2 (downloaded through rom manager) the phone shuts down while flashing and then it is stuck in a bootloop.
Here is what I am doeing:
useing Darkys v9.2 Resurrection edition. Then I am on:
-> Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodoo_stable_5.4
Build: Darkys v9.2 Extreme Edition
then I am donwloading CWM 2.5.1.2 thrugh rom manager and in CWM I want to flash following zips:
Devil3_0.71_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120609
cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd
gapps-ics-20120429-signed
the Kernel (Devil3) flashes finde.. when I am flashing cm9 then the phone restarts in the middle of the flashing process and hangs in a bootloop.
What am i doeing wrong?
You have to flash a Gingerbread rom with Gingerbread bootloaders first. Then flash CM9. When you flash CM9 from Gingerbread, the phone will restart once. Just flash CM9 again and you're good to go.
Why son't you flash CM10? It's newer and stable enough for daily use.

Thanks I will flash CM7 and after that CM9 then.
I personally use CM10 but this phone is the one from my aunt and I just want a stable rom for her because if something doesn t work (like maybe in the current CM10 alphas) then I have to look after the phone again.

In my case I tried CM 7.2 and CM9.0 and after flashing (in both cases) my phone goes into a loop... finally I reinstalled Gingerbread.
I made both flash using the guidelines in CM Wiki.
I reccomend you to flash JVU with repartition. That will install your bootloaders and Cf-Rooting it, you will be able to flash both CM7 or CM9, via CWM
DarkyromResurrection is jvu based but comes with root already less hassle its how I did it
Sent from my Awesome I9000 running Slim Bean
If you want stability you better flash some GB rom, not ICS. If your aunt doesn't care about speed (not that GB is that slow...) then GB is the best choice, in my opinion. More stability and better battery.
ICS is runs perfectly stable now if you select the right rom
