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

Darky's ROM & Juwe's ROM v4.1 are quite good.

+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 (suggestions)

Hey guys,
Wondering which Rom u can suggest that you have had good experiance with and stability. Had a bit of a bad experiance with cm7, bricked my galaxy i9000 twice, great rom but would rather wait on stable release.
So...what u guys suggest

I believe in stability smoothness and speed. My choice is Juwe's Smart Edition. I am on 5.2. Never had any complaints/FCs... ever. OCed at 1.2 GHz with semaphore 1.5 and Gingerway blue ocean theme.
Loving it.

Me have Blockbuster 4 and GalaxianGT SP2 kernel. Very good battery life and no FC.

Juwe´s Smart Edition really is a great rom. It´s fast, stable and deodexed

Jetpack rom is a really stable rom It is super snappy installing it with galaxian kernel is gr8 combo also it is pretty easy to install so go for it!

Juwe i keep going back to.. no questions asked!

Well currently on Darky's 10.2 Extreme Edition, looks like Juwe is the favorite. Can this be flashed with odin ?
And is the "Wipe" download better than the "No Wipe"

I am currently using Simply Honey 4.0 Rev2 + Galaxian GT SP4.... smooth, fast, stable...

Darky's JVQ Resurrection Edition. Highly recommended.

normally romkitchen. but 4 long time not updated -.-
when you can live with jvp then romkitchen is best i think

A great rom, for me is the insanity rom from nitr8. It's a small rom in size, and have only the basis apps that a phone required.
Very smooth and very stable, I didn't need nothing else

I'm on Juwe's Smart Edition v5.3 XXJVR ... no FC , good battery life, fast & stable. Best ROM for me so far.

Juwe 5.3 jvr is good

[Q] Tired of looking for fixes for bugs, please suggest best rom and kernel for SGS

Iam tired of looking for fixes , every rom has very bad bugs, miui was the best for smoothnes , but i can't use it with that strong power hog , i can barley make 5 hours screen time with Automatic brightness and no Apps running in background , also the sound quality of speakers are very low
Can you please recommend me the fastest / snappiest , smoothest ROM and kernel for Galaxy S ??? iam now on Miui 1.9.9 , glitch kernel V11 , iam not satisfied at all
i miss tons of calls and i can't hear it ring in my pocket lol ! very very power hungry rom

I'm afraid that you could not find an answer for that question , cause i also tried asking the same question and ended up at Jetpack ROM+Sempahore, but you yourself have to try !!
Human's are weird beings, so go ahead an try the rom's,kernels that meet your prerequisites !!
Hope that was helpful!

Yeah, just try several differnet roms and kernels and decide which you like best. I suggest using something based on stock Samsung rom like JVR. IMHO right now roms based on 2.3.4 JVR are smoother and more stable than MIUI and CM7. I for one haven't had any issues with the battery for quite some time

Want something simple , Fast, Bug free, ?
Romkitchen.org Got my misses SGS running GB 2.3.4 JVR.. rooted, de-odexed, with Speedmod kernel.
its great.
Im also a MIUI User, some things BUG me, but i cant tear myself from it, I love the customisation.

Got final hybrid rom with latest talon kernel and acid tweaks getting 3200 in qaudrant !
i am just wondering is it worth going to jvs from jvr ?

tornado is great, but sometimes give me reboot suddenly, it's fast, but not stable for me!! maybe for others, just not me

My frien every one has its own requirment so everyone told you to flash different rom....as i said feel free and choose what you like....flash rom and keep what u like.

Thanks for the replies every one , can any one lead me to the Tornado rom thread ? i can't seem to find it or Jetpack rom , or any ROM source ??? i would like a thread that contains a list of ROMS that i can try them out

Which ROM?
I suggest you to get a ODEXed ROM, as it runs smoother. Most deodexed ROMs I tried get slower from time to time. Deodexing is only good for theming, but I recommend you stock theme as it is the most clean. So to have less problems (RAM scripts and tweaks often cause instability) I recommend you to get Stock JVR, semaphore Kernel and if you need some extras from custom ROMS get "Stock +" Mod from $omator. JVS seems to have problems with Wifi and DHCP, so JVR is the better choice for the moment.
If stock ROM is looking to boring for you, you can also get Simplicity which is also very performant and has a great addon creator for theming and additional system apps.
I am now running on Tornado, stability, speed and battery are good, but some apps like calculator and calendar have been stripped, Kernel is running peaks up to 1440 Mhz and it is also not supported here.
So the conclusion for your questions answer would be:
1. Stock JVR ROM with Semaphore and Stock+ 1.5 odexed
2. Simplicity 0.40

Thanks for the reply and the effort , i think STOCK rom alone is just too boring for me and not even enough , i will try Tronado rom as alot of people been using it , and iam not a fan of over clocking as i have too much problems already lol
also i have scripts and they are not reallying doing anything harmfull like Supercharger script

I have now moved to jetpack jvs

[Q] Roms similar to Darky rom..

Hi, I m looking for a rom which is similar to darky rom in terms of performance n battery
I m on darky rom 10.2 n its quite good, but it tends to freeze n reboot occasionally.
So I want to try out other roms..
I don't like fancy roms.
Simple, fast n stable vl do..
Plz suggest..

If you want simple fast and stable why go past stock with rooted kernel?

For what reason? If you want simple, snappy and stable stock with a good kernal beats a (Samsung based) "custom" rom. You can even add a theme of your choosing if you wish.
Or if you do want a custom ROM (a real custom ROM) go something AOSP based.

K bro..Vl try out stock rom with custom kernels..
M kind a new to custom roms on galaxy s so was jst curious about custom roms..

Try Jetpack Mod V6+
Hi, i was in that dilemma between customizing myself a stock rom or go for a custom rom that matched what i was looking for, i have tried cyanogen mod 7 (didnt like it), darkyrom with tw4 looked great but a had a lot of reboots (maybe because of the touchwiz 4).
Now i am using Jetpack Mod V6+, and its running fine, stable and very fast.

But as everything it will depend on what are you looking for, so good luck

If you are looking for stability and battery performace try a KIES official stock ROM that it is in your contry. Do not try leaked ROMs such as JVP,JVR,JVS,JVT because they are beta.

[Q] Questions About ROMs & Kernels..

My father has a Galaxy Note. I wanted to install the best ROM (Prefer Light/Lite size) with best Kernel which would give a Good battery life. Any advice ???
I've installed Chrack's Lite LC1 ROM (from here) Which has Franco kernel 9. But, having a few problems. Can't change Voltages for CPU (Using Voltage Control & SetCPU), The options are missing or Disabled. Having FCs while calling someone using phone dialer ("com.android.phone" FC), Network goes down & comes back later. Any way to fix these ???
Thanks...

It's all about cassie x with Franco test build . MAGIC.

Nobody can say the best rom because everything is best and it completely depends on the user what they like.For example I like darky rom very much and others may dislike it.
Maybe the OC/UV feature is not included in the kernel and there is no need for it because already the note is super snappy.The phone problem maybe due to improper flashing.Try factory reset or flash the rom again.If the problem persist report it on the rom's thread and the dev might try to solve it.

Darky roms are always super snappy and are known for better battery life.My sgs,sgsII and note all runs on darky rom only.If you want a basic install without any themes and only major tweaks go for base roms and if you need pre-themed and fully tweaked go for full rom.I'm sure you will enjoy the rom
