Yes it will. Simply follow the link provided by sathkartha. There in the first post you can find links to guides that include everything.
CM7 and Miui are the fastest but battery might be a little bit worse (depends on the person, on my phone battery is basically the same as stock aprox 24-30 hrs). Miui is definitely the nicest looking out of all them though while CM7 is the fastest
Good luck
What you're asking for here is as good as "What is the best religion?". Everyone, as you can see has given you their personal opinion, but few solid grounds. In the end, you'll just have to start trying out different ROMs (if you really want to, that is) and decide for yourself, which ROM suits you the best in the end.
Among the Samsung based custom ROMs, they're all pretty much alike, with a few theme differences, but we have the UOT kitchen for that, so no biggie. What's important is you use a base you find stable, and a radio package (Modem) that gives you the best battery life (If you're in India, that would obviously be DDJV4 from the DDJV6 official Indian GB for SGS firmware). On the other hand, AOSP ROMs like CM7 and MIUI are far more robust and powerful, but at the cost of some battery life, and they're still "Work in Progress" with few bugs (which are getting ironed out... and FAST!). You'll notice the difference in a heartbeat. MIUI is simple the best THEMEable ROM available.
All in all, the decision rests with you and you alone. Choose wisely.
i guess i bricked my phone while installing the juwe rom :|
going for the stock gingerbread flash again !
For Asia firmware this is the best: pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=438146
i got my phone unbricked
now , i neeed a detailed , step by step procedure to install a rom
please suggest some rom with intruction

miui FTW............
Hi!!
I have been planning to switch to MIUI for a long time now, however I have a few questions before I start. I must add I have tried a Galnet release before, however I decided to revert back to Darky's ROM.
Now I see there are a lot of MIUI releases floating out there and thats whats confusing me.
How many types of MIUI releases are there in all
I found the following.
MCG 5.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
(However this seems to be a very old one)
MIUI MCGv7.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13372250&postcount=10049
(Is this a new version of MCG v5.1 or is there a totally different ROM, also is this latest or is there a new version of this as well)
MIUI 1.9.16: Nothing Fancy V7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241509
Galaxy S I9000 MIUI.us presents MIUI 1.9.16 Pure English
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118682
I'm guessing there are more, coz i remember seeing atleast a couple of more threads.
Now are these all same releases varying only by version numbers or are these totally different ROMS cooked by different Chefs.
If yes, then which one is the best one or in other words the most good looking and stable.
Also, can these be flashed directly on a GB rom without going back to Froyo, coz i remember the last MIUI i tried, it didn't require a FROYO flash.
Please help, I really really want to try this out however i'm currently tearing my hair out, coz i can't understand which one is the one that I should try.
There is only one MIUI, and its Chinese, The ones you see are 'remixed' versions of MIUI
If you are wanting to try MIUI i would suggest GalnetMIUI, I know you have tried this before, But the latest releases have been epic, in terms of speed, stability, and battery life.
There is no longer battery drain with MIUI, its the same as any other ROM, dependant on the users usage..
MCG MIUI is/was Mambo, Currydude, Galnet.
MIUI gets updated every friday, Then the ROM Chefs that 'remix' it have to translate it to english and add their uniqueness. I know for sure Galnet does this, As for the others im not so sure..
And finally YES !! you can flash this over a GB ROM. Galnets MIUI is android version 2.3.5 and requires GB bootloaders in order for it to run smoothly.
MIUI is a great ROM and i have followed it for months now, I have flashed other ROMs but always go back to MIUI within 1-2days.
Which ever version you choose im sure you wont be disappointed
Official miui updates every friday. Look here :hffp://miuiandroid.com/.

Thanks a lot dude!! That helps... I'll probably give Galnet a shot... I didn't have a very good experience last time around.. Hopefully it will be worth the effort this time...
Also, any tips before flashing this rom?? or should i just restore factory settings and flash it via CWM...

Yes thats all you need to do.
Make sure its an absolute clean install, I would format cache, dalvik cache, Internal sd card, then top it off with a factory reset. (im obsessed with super clean installs)
Make sure you backup your apps though !!!

I just did a clean install of MIUI 1.9.23 and I must say i'm very very impressed, there have been tons of improvements in this release... I was gonna try out Galnet but it seems their site is down for maintenance, so I just gave this a shot... By the looks of it, i'm gonna stick with this one for a long time... ;-)

hello all
i did a search to find the most used and spreaded kirnel and i've found it! it was a poll and it went to SpeedMod for over 40% i guess..
now i'm searching for a ROM i did search the Forum for a List of Roms threat and i've found it also..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
My question is..
The thread above DOES NOT have a poll.. and i don't know which Rom is new and which one is on the top :S
Is there any poll thread in here???
It depends on what you want in a ROM I guess, everyone has different opinions.
DarkyROM 10.2.2 is a good ROM to start with which uses JVQ (2.3.4). I was using this for a while before I started to make my own ROM. DarkyROM also comes with the DarkCore Kernel.
So far my custom ROM uses JVT (2.3.5) and Semaphore Kernel 1.8.1, I'll be releasing it soon.
the best way to see which one you like is to try several of them which you think you might like and choose one after, all opinions here are objective... everyone has different expectations from their phone...

there are two things important in the life of US's Android user:
1. KIRNEL;
2. POLL
with the point 2, I'm pretty comfortable to recognise what you mean, looking on the US economy, government and peaceful behaving around the world. But... WTF is KIRNEL????
I'd recommend darky's 10.2.2!!! just installed it on my friend's phone, and I LOVE IT more than my sgs4g hahaha. What a great rom. Although, it's the first custom rom I've ever come across (there are none for my phone, well, not GB ones).

so... you recommend the very first custom rom you ever flashed on a sgs without experiencing some other... alternatives?

Let me elaborate,
Darky's 10.2.2 was my first custom rom, I just flashed it today. I have not had any other experiences with other custom roms, in fact, this i9000 was given to me just to upgrade to Gingerbread. So I chose Darky's because of the good comments and the features it had (like BLN, support for i9000t, etc).
I can then, confirm, that this ROM succeeded my expectations, and works like a charm. The device is now faster than my galaxy S 4g, and battery life appears to be good enough. So, I would recommend you at least try this ROM, because it's confirmed to be working as it should!
I should mention however, that there might be a better suited ROM for you out there.
I had no problems flashing this. It's really easy, but you might need to flash 2 roms, one using odin (darky's 10.2 RE) and then the extreme edition using CWM. This might sound like a hassle, but I was done in less than 30min. Easy to install and looks great.
No issues.
Good luck!
CM7. Hands down.
trust me...i have galnet miui on my phone with tkglitch kernel...the best combination ever i tried
however, all CM7 based rom are great
Hey guys, UPS tells me the Note will be here by Friday. This is my 5 (6?) Android device.
Ideally I would like to have a stable 2.X MIUI ROM. I like MIUI so much I even make some themes. Anyway, it doesn't look like there is good MIUI support. So I would like to have a very stable and slim GB ROM.
What do you recommend? Looking through the Android development forum I see most of the threads are about ICS. I don't want to venture in that territory right now.
Just want to be sure: if I am only flashing GB roms I am safe to use CWM correct?
I am sorry this is a noob question but one problem with xda's structure is that you can never find a decent rom comparison thread in most of the device forums. Lay it on me.
only miui roms so far are ics ones
yes flashing gb roms is fine from cwm

You are also safe on CM9-based ICS Roms. They all have safe kernel developed from I9100 source code. The slimmest of these Roms is Asylum. It's under 100 Mbs.
Does the ICS CM9 rom hasve hardware acceleration, Chrome working? If not I rather stay with older kernel.
I need good theme support, Go launcher run smooth on which ROM?
i guess u can enable HW accl in cm9..

chrome works as well..
u might need to use the older version of chrome if u wanna use custom dpi.. but rest everythin is good..

hi everybody, now that Gingerbread roms development has almost stopped, here on xda we can find a lot of rom based on latest LC1 firmware. between all this rom i can't say which is the best one, so i'm asking you to give me some advices about your favourite rom.
i know you can tell me: "flash one after the other and try all ol them", but my note just came back to me after a month of assistance (bricked), so i don't want to start immediately flashing 5 or 6 roms.
P.S: i'm particularly attracted by "AllianceROM v3.4.1", what do you think about it?
Go for RocketROM v23. I guess its the best which i have used in GB So far

it looks like it's safe, but since when i see a post that tell every possibility of having bug has been cutted off, i don't want to risk.
I cannot decide which to try first myself: darky rom or lightening rom?
I know you asked for GB ROMs, but I can tell you that I've been playing with Official CM9 and Asylum for a while now. Have done almost everything possible in Recovery, including multiple full wipes.
These ROMs are safe, they don't have the emmc bug, since they're built from i9100 (S2) update 4 sources. I'm just saying that because stock-looking ICS ROMs have greatly improved my personal experience on my Note.
That being said, best and least buggiest ROM for me was Darky. RocketRom is very nicely built by eybee who REALLY knows his stuff and most users have given awesome feedbacks. However, due to my way of using it, or...I don't know, Rocket used to lag considerably compared to Darky...
Best of luck finding what suits you mate!
LE: Also add ParanoidAndroid to the safe ICS list, if you're into the whole phone/tablet hybrid

for what i can understand, choosing as your favourite darky, you can tell me thay alliance rom (the darky's evolution) would be your next gb choice? please tell me, so i can flash. i know i'm paranoic not trying to flash asylum, but after using nokia 6630 for a month, i prefer a gb note instead of even minimum risk of brick. thanks alot.
You can try Checkrom HD v6. I have good memories ...

I understand that...
I suppose Alliance should be ok, it all depends on the way you use your phone... I've heard different reports on ROMs from different people, so...matters to find one suited for you. If you want to switch, make sure you carefully read the installation instructions, although most GB ROMs are a straight flash.
I'm sorry that we've had so many bricks around here...they're definitely enough to discourage any newcomer to Android or to flashing for that matter. This is my 4th Android phone and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't seen so many "bricked" threads on my other phones' forums.
I just wish people would've read a bit more carefully when installing...that's what got them stumbling into the emmc bug...
Best of luck and hope you'll find your way into some safe ICS soon enough
If you need any help, just let me know.
