Hey so I was curious as to which rom is overall best on the I9000, in terms of a combination of newness, ram space(speed) and stability, cause I understand that the newer the update, the less the ram? I am currently using JVR

i have found the best experince on these roms
Hybrid rom
Cyanognmod 7.1
insanity
amestris
i have to go with cyanogenmod 7.1 or hybrid
super fast
Although i have not tried any recent roms on XDA. I found Tornado JVT to be the fastest and most stable. Although i personally don't think the quadrant score really makes a difference i get a max of 4100
currently im running the Teamhacksamsung ICS port, but the most satisfying ROMS have been the ones out of Darky's kitchen...!

I found them to be the slowest.
The ota is a nice feature though.
Im quite happy with my current combo: jw1+semaphore+thunderbolt (on ext4)
The fastest rom is cm7 but the ram managent is bad so you would have to install thunderbolt to make it fast the whole time instead of the first hour(s).
Cm7 has not so good battery life, but if youre fine with charging twice a day its the one to choose

how do you even get that Rom? ive tried so hard looking for it but i end up on some sight in foreign language, its like a secret cult or something, no-one talks about it it its supposedly the best. lol XD
For sure MintBerry MIUI if it should be MIUI.
Jetpack ROM 8.0 if it should be a Samsung ROM.
But waiting for MIUI 4.0 port no I´m not using the Galnet version...

Just stay at JVR or upgrade it to a newer official ROM.
Only in this case u'll get phone with a full set of working features, especially camera and hardware accelerated video playback.
Yeah, official ROMs are maybe not as smooth and don't have such comfortable UI, but at least it works as supposed without any big issues.
i9000 is my 2nd device, first was Spica, so i used to use lots of different roms and my experience says that there's no ROMs better then official one.
I'm using Mintberry MIUI with the Thunderbolt script and I'm finding it to be pretty smooth. CM7 is also very competent in performance.
However, the thing with these AOSP ROMS is that they lack the Samsung framework so video playback, camera, etc don't run as smoothly.
I've always found stock ROMs to be the best overall ROM as long as you flash a kernel like Semaphore or Tornado, I just like to use Mintberry MIUI because its aesthetics suit me better than stock

I'm thinking of giving my milestone to my dad. He's still using those flip phones. He basically use it for calls only. It would have to have really big text and user friendly. And also stable. Which ROM do you think is suitable for my dad?
I'd go with FroyoMod, it's fast and stable.
Why not flash it back to stock 2.2 froyo for him.
While I always run Custom ROM's, I have never found one that isn't at least a little buggy.
IMO, nothing is as stable as stock.
But stock definitely isn't as fun either

How is MIUI on milestone in relation to ram consumption and overall snapiness of the phone? CM7 on my milestone used up almost all of the ram, causing a lot of redraws, apps closing, etc.

MIUI has always been a very tricky ROM to fiddle with. If you run a home replacement app and have widgets on the screen, you will find that RAM becomes an issue, due to the large chunk already allocated to the complex UI. CM7 has gotten better with RAM management with time.
The best ROM I've ever used on my Milestone is Milaq's CM 6.1.2. It's fast and almost bug-less. With the memory script (not zeppelin's mem tweak... the other) it's even snappier.
I switch between HO!NO! and MIUI.. i love these ROMs..
I switch between FroyoMod and CyanogenMod! But CyanogenMod has more useful features!
I'm using Milaq's CM6. Its pretty good!

Tornado: kernel allows you to completely cleanse your system, then load Tornado rom and you have fast, sleek and stable. No issues.
It seems the last two posters misunderstood the question. I think he's asking about Samsung stock ROMs, not custom ROMs.
In which case, from my personal experience, JS8 is the best Samsung ROM I've used, as I had no issues or bugs with it, and it was pretty quick without a lagfix. For Gingerbread, JVQ/JVR are the latest, and probably the best, but do have niggles. Arguably though, they're slightly better performers than JS8. So if you want reliable, go with a very late Froyo ROM, but if you want the best performance, just go with the latest Gingerbread.

From the graphical point of view is very impressive (nice icons) without changing too much stock rom
hey guys, haven't touched my sgs1 in almost a year since I got my sgs2.. I'm currently on early 10.something, is darkyrom still the best? it gets pretty laugh.. have to restart it alot.. good battery life tho. so what's in top now, maybe cm7? Clare there different versions of cm7? (that has voodoo sound right?). anyone offer me a stable rom that won't run out of ram lol?
ill give thanks/rep to anyone who offers suggestions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
There are quite a lot of ROMS to choose from. I have tried many of them myself, and am currently flicking between GALAXYDROID v 3.3 and SAUROM. I like the touches of galaxydroid yet like the stock feel of Saurom. I tried Darkys in many versions, and always found the battery life not too good.
Best way is to look at whats on offer, and give them all a bash. Each to their own end of the day.

I really dont understand why everyone loves ICS on the galaxy s so much. I am using it now, but im getting quite a few problems. Its pretty unstable, and compared to GB its pretty slow in terms of CPU and animations. I would like to go back to gingerbread, but on ICS the Play Store is so fast, and the whole OS looks nice, what gingerbread rom do you guys this is fast and stable? I guess I can tweak the rest..

Check out DarkyROM v11 Black Edition, a CM9 based slick ICS rom. Very fast, stable and smooth! You will never want to go back to GB!!

ICS? Haven't seen any better for my i9000!
use debil kernel and cm9..
Use Slim ICS v 4.0 or 4.1 (stock kernel) its the most stable ROM i've ever seen.
-> 500h Uptime and no random reboots
-> 2 days battery life with normal usage (sms, telephone, internet/rss)
-> btw. my Battery is 2 years OLD
-> really really really smooth
-> you should only change this ugly stock launcher to your favourite launcher (i prefere Apex Launcher for example :good
;D

I use cm9 with devil kernel and I get a day of battery with a 2 year old battery. It is EASILY 4x faster than gingerbread. I almost ripped out my hair for the first 6hours I had the phone I get no random reboots or anything, its super stable

Use a different ROM ...I use Remics-ux...Stable,fast,smooth. Try it and you get the answer
Clean AOKP 1.1.6 on my SGS. There is no troubling issue since then. The stock froyo DDJP2 was a big pain in the neck. The main advantage of all ICS builds is its open source so the build size is mostly 80mb to 150mb thereby saving precious size on the phone. The more stock elements and libs in the rom and more ram usage and more lags. ICS may have slow scrolling on some roms/devices but overall its absolutely a try. There is nothing much in a heavy overloaded Samsung bloatware where we don't have so much apps use in daily usage. ROMControl is a very important feature incorporated in ICS roms. LCD density is a superb option for those who prefer 160 to 192 dpi. IME switcher is also good for using custom keyboards. As an example I used a Desire HD till last week and the ICS Icecoldsandwich rom was flawless till the last touch. ICS looks plain vanilla, but it increases the user satisfaction and the true value of hardware is felt. Overall the battery lasts more on ICS builds if not too overclocked. In short, ICS is a platform for all those who were fed-up with the low performing cpu/ram/hardware/software related stock junkware of any phone.
or you could try "tiramislim" itś based on slim ics, but imho its better no bugs, much smoother then gb.
anyway, i think you tried not the right rom. there are so many ics-roms out there, most are quite stable. try different roms, or read the threads of the roms before, then you can see how others think about them
Definitely cm9. :3

Hi everyone i've just got myself HOX but my girlfrend still has SGS over 3yrs now .My question is which rom has no lags and is good enough for daily use.I flashed for her C-rom and it's laggy as hell.
I tried couple others rom all of them are jelly beans i don't remember names of roms but most of them are laggy i repeat laggy that i can't do basic things.
So maybe jelly bean is to heavy what i mean by that is You know just a single core ,512mb of rams maybe that's not enough ,i don't know i'm not a dev i just wish to have a decent rom without lags.
Could someone suggest which rom has no lags 'cuz i'm a little bit tired of searching for it.
I don't need JB might be ICS but i wish to have a normal working phone without lags .
U hope that someone can point something for me ,anyways thanx in advance and have a good one bye bye.
First of all, I hope you're not comparing performance to your hox...
That said, there will be certain microlags, and opening certain apps might take a second, no matter which rom you choose. CM10 roms are among the most stable jb roms, there's loads of variations and re-themes of it here. No offense to anyone, but a huge amount of jb roms here are re compiled CM10 or Aokp with themes and bloatware. Aokp ics roms are the equivalent regarding ics, in my opinion.
My tip would be first to find out if gb, ics or jb is best for your girlfriend, read up on it. Which features does she need, what ui does she prefer?
Then start fresh, find some of the guides here in xda, flash gb in Odin and repartition and start from there to flash your rom of choice.
Sent from horseback.
I found cm10 to be laggy (fresh install with only nova launcher and a few google apps). CM9 is not laggy at all for me.
I'd suggest sticking to ics if performance is your main concern.

I know this might not the right place to say this, but why is everyone so keen on (unofficial) firmware and then expecting wonders? No one needs Android 4.0.x or 4.1.x on an SGS right now.
If you just want a stable, fast and almost lag-free running SGS then you should install one of the better 2.3.6 StockROMs (JVU or JW4(a little less stable but more memory)), add an optimized kernel like semaphore (stock color, not big mem version) and maybe even change the filesystem to ext4.
At least for now forget the 4.x hype, be a man, have balls and laugh at others thinking you being "uncool".
A SGS configured this way without garbage apps could run precisely like a swiss watch.

Hi
i tested gb 2.3.6 jw1 (is the best gb rom), ics cm9 and jb mackay rom. In my opinion jb is the best rom.
In GB all runs slowly, but stabil. It looks lame and old. but some people like it. I hated the performance with wlan and internet. Slower then this isnt possible. Any ICS and JB Rom is faster in this point.
CM9 runs very nice, but some games need hours to start, dont know why. I think some internet validation things needs to long. Ok after some hours my phones needed a restart, but this takes only about 3 min, then you can go on.
Mackay is super smooth, some games work even better then with cm9. Only Wlan is in this weak. But the rest is awesome. So i prefer to JB!
On all roms i had about 200 apps installed mostly games and used link2sd with a partition on my external sd. So it was always slower then a pure rom.

That's exactly the difference. I also have about 150 apps installed - but almost _no_ games, furthermore nothing moved to SD! And with XXJVU - IMHO the most stable so far - I was not counting in hours but had no restart / FC in 2-3 months.
Everybody has to make his/her own decision - my SGS is no gameboy for me, I use it for daily life and it has to run smoothly and without problems. If your phone hangs unnoticed and you couldn't get an important call then it's a lame excuse that the phone could have been rebootet within a minute when in fact it's dead until noticed by pure luck.
I'm therefore even tempted to move from actual SauROM JW8 back to JW4 or my beloved JVU ... but of course stability is not only a matter of the OS but - as Android unfortunately isn't able to catch all faults / errors - of app updates as well.
Yeah You right about GB , i remember like maybe year or two ago when "darkyrom" crue uploaded their gb roms every single day and SGS was so fast.
Now all JB roms are lagy for me and i'm going to flash old good Ginger Bread and i want to see a difference.
If there is any difference.
Anyway thanx a lot for answers i've learned something and good night every1.
I'm running cm9 with devil kernal. Its awesome.
The only reason why I don't use gb now is because and this is lame but with cm9 I can video record with my front camera....which my daughter loves....well we both do lol.

I give vote for GB too. I tried lots of ICS and JB roms, and all happen to have some bugs, not very important bugs, but some that annoys me. I always used them for few days at most then got back on GB.
At the moment I am on JW4 GB, with Semaphore 2.7.4, and all seems to work nice, Well of course there is lag here and there, but i am on smartass gouverner and i didnt overclock CPU, its on stock 1GHz. So maybe with performance gouverner and overclocked CPU, it wouldnt have lags at all.
Also I really love GB because of stock camera app, stock music player, and sliding thing for calling and messaging. If you need some more information, be free to ask
It will still lag if you OC and choose any other governer....even with lagfix (ext4) conversion.
Not that bad tho.
I just flashed back to gb jw4 with semaphore 2.7.4.....to play with it again.
Anyone know if you can use the filesystem of cm9 on gb? May be a stupid question but its just a thought.

and once you get use to it you will never go back to any other rom even your stock..because apps open very quickly and its to compact also only 70 mb... and one more thing battery life is almost same..as stock ROM
I am on the latest CM10 nightly with the JB semaphore kernel, no overclock, bigmem enabled, and I have honestly found it to be the best most responsive ROM I have used on the phone to date.
Previous to that I was using the stable release of CM9 with semaphore, and while it wasn't perfect in terms of lag, it was rock solid stable and reliable. I would use this for your girlfriend if I was you (as I am assuming she isn't as tech savvy as yourself, so best to stay away from nightlies). I'm sure she won't even notice a little bit of lag. And the usability of ICS compared to GB is, in my opinion, dramatically better. Just uninstall all the development apps before giving it to her.
All roms can be a second slower than some, that's just expected. I recommend just getting her something up to date and clock it up to 1104 Mega Hurts if the screen doesn't freeze on it if you do.
