Hello,
i took the ROMS that are currently on the 1st page... I know there are plenty more, but i wanted to use the ones on the first page of this forum....
I used GOT and was pretty happy, used CM and was even more, and then MIUI, but i think i will go back to CM...
Since yesterday I use the CyanogenMod and just wondering why I was with GOT's all this time.. CM is the best. As simple as that.
Froyomod > CM

Froyomod isn't that stable, at least in my case.
CM for Milestone by nadlabak is still the best.
weird, for me any roms beside Froyomod will have that freaking annoying random reboot issue.
FroyoMod having best battery use time
With the latest CM - i never had even 1 reboot... It's probably the smoothest version of a phone i had since my Nokia 6210 back in 2000... (kidding...)
Its definitely the smoothest version i had on my Milestone, and actually no problems whatsoever. First time no reboots at all on my phone..

This.
With CM I just got 48 hours of use on one-charge this weekend, and not a single force-close or crash. Cannot say the same about the other Froyo-Mods
i like miui the best, its very smooth and has the best design and awesome battery life!
i unpluuged it at 6:15 am and now at 4:30 pm i still have 70% battery, and i played 45 minutes angry birds, doodle jump and pocket legends and surfed around the web for at least half an hour, i was writing several sms and phoned some people!
and in my opinion it has the best usability with the integrated battery saver and the smartass governor!
I have tried most of the roms and have concluded that ultimate droid is the most responsive smoothest and the best battery life with the built in over clocking

the rom is only for the Motorola Droid but not for our milestone.. he must accidently picked milestone android developing instead of droid android developing
Telus lite V5... its not up there, but in my experience its blown everything else out of the water.
until now, 2.2.1 still not stable so I decided to use 2.1 and TelusliteV5 is best choice. Smoothest and great battery life.
Cyanogen has rapid development and code is verified which should give best quality but after testing FroyoMod I voted for it because I don't have any issue at this point and it is smoothest rom of all that I have used no mater that it was stock or mod rom.
Foryo has lots of cyanogen goodness and ads its own like crystal talk, gallery 2d
Cyanogen here. Most complete and customisable rom imo. Very fast. Very stable. Rapidly updated to fix bugs as discovered.
Actually I own an evo and you can just google ultimate droid forums and u can find the website you have to register to download it but it is worth the time I promise you

Hello guys!
For now, i'm using the ShadowMod BR.
A rom developed by a guy in my country (Brazil). The project is very good. There's no issues and everything works. I don't know about CM rom's but this rom is very fast and stable. And have all languages support.
So, if somebody want's to try just search on google for ShadowMod BR
ill say chronos rom its what ive been useing and i liek it very fast and stable
I use miui with launcher pro as i get all the setting and apps from miui can add themes
icons etc and still have very stable phone with good battery life
Hey guys. I might be Rooting and flashing soon, and I'm looking for which ROM I should go for.
I was looking for one with good battery life (I use my phone for Music, Game's Etc.) and hopefully a ROM that has better battery life then stock.
I was also looking for one that had Sense 3.0.
Any chance such ROM exists? Any one tried a few Sense 3.0 Rom's and has had good battery life from one?
Thanks

Virtuous unity 2.35 does go good.... The sense 3.0 is just amaZIng! IF U WANT I'LL POST THE LINK HERE...
arhd is good too but then its over clocked to 1.5Ghz by default, so alot has complained for it doesn't boot up, stays in the HTC screen.
This ROM too gives u amazing performance but its mostly the users taste here...
And not to forget, Coredroid ROM... Man this ROM OS simply fantastic, I've used it before just because of the backlight issues removed it, the backlighta aka the 4 menu butons, doesn't work sadly.... But, there's gonna be an update soon, so yeaaaaaa! It's gonnna have sense 3 with the backlights fixed too...
Hope this helps....
There's one more post I came across this forum...

well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

The great thing about rooting and flashing is that you can create a back up and from there flash everything possible until you find what your looking for. One thing to remember is that you cannot kill your phone flashing new roms as they do not change your BIOS.
Thanks for all your replies guys - does anyone have a link to ARHD?
Sounds quite good
EDIT: ARHD Isn't full Sense 3.0, might leave that one... is Virtuous Unity a good one to go with then? (No bugs, good battery etc.)
i refer to ARHD 1.1.6
with kernel 4
Using VU 2.3.7 .. its butter .. !!! Best Rom with sense 3.0..

Thanks Nabeeltanz for quoting my post
well, to add to the above post, i have personally experienced MIUI to have the longest battery life among all the ROMS.
My usage is quite heavy, 3g on all day, regular surfing with streaming of music for most part, a little gaming here and there, emailing and of course the messaging and calls. most of the ROMS i've used lasted me a full day.. MIUI did a little more.. consistently it would last for close to 2 days. it would definitely need recharging by the end of the second day..
but compared to the stock rom, all the custom roms do provide good enough battery life.

I've also tried pretty much every ROM on here and its by far the best. I've had 2.5 days with standard use on one charge.
+1 for cm7n and tiamat
Just so say, I'm using Virtuous Unity and it's been brilliant so far.
To all those guys that use CM7 Nightlies (Test Release) with timat 1.1.4 , just want to clarify with you guys that do you guys get crashes on it?
I downloaded the latest test release last night and flashed it after I flashed my ROM and I've got to say that I keep get crashes (com.android.phone process has ended) . So what is the ROM that I should flash? Is it the stable version or the test version.
and can I flash the kernel (timat 1.1.4) on my Virtuous Unity 2.3.9? So what is that is power saving? The kernel or the ROM or both together? (im confused)

I did a full wipe using ARHD 's (Super Wipe) and also using my Clockworkmod's wipe . I performed a NANdroid before flashing (of course im scared) . I had problems on the nightly ROM as I don't know why my Airplane mode keeps turning on by itself.
It will be great if you can help me by posting the exact link for the ROM you use and the kernel you used and even the recovery you used to wipe your entire ROM before flashing the new one ..
I'm still using VU 2.3.9 and I just realized that my battery life sux the previous time because I didnt flash the kernel of VU 2.3.9 (LOL) . I just flashed it and I'm currently letting it run to see how well is the battery.
as smartphone users, most of our main concern is the battery usage.. I would very much like to use CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies but just that I have second thoughts about it because it didnt have the "Quick Settings" or HTC keyboard that I was using on my VU . and I can't find and nice framework which is suitable..
so i guess if you could help me on this issue. I'll really appreciate it .
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

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

Try aopk rom 2.02 beta ICS
sent from my ice creamed super sgs
Well i've been testing out lots and lots of roms and seems that ICS is the ones that saves battery the most and they run much smoother too. And stock browser runs much smoother on ics too... So i think ics is the way.. I'm just not sure what of them draws less battery life tough.
I'm using ICSSGS RC4.2 and with heavy use the battery seems to last pretty ok and that rom is almost perfect with almost everything working. Actually i think its the best ics rom today, tomorrow could be another rom But yeah it all depends what you use and like for your phone and for me its that one atm.
I've tried many many roms and all ICS-rom don't have good battery life.
My favorites:
- Amestris-roms
- SauRom
- JW1 with Tornado-kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I agree, depending on what your looking for would determine the best rom for you. the best bet is just trying them and seeing which you like the best, truthfully a lot of the rom are hard to notice performance differences and many perform alike. If you are looking for the best battery life i would personally be looking back at some 2.2 and 2.3.x based roms. they have had the most time invested in them so far, and have not been completely ported.
a good webpage to check out roms is done by @AlChemistar at android candy and then find the device.
personally i have only experimented with 2.3.x based roms and ICS
for gingerbread i would recommend:
DarkysRom (10.2 Extreme)
Fl GS2
MIUI
For ICS:
TeamHacksung
OneCosmic
drZMIUIV4 beta 8.1
for a full list got to android candy. this is just what i prefer, and for making calls, texting and web browsing ICS is nicer but the interface for texting does lack. you may want tot check out theme available to take the white background back to the Samsung black for AMOLED screens.
yeah, i suggest the 2.3.x roms for battery life. they are way more matured than ICS per now.
i just installed ICSSGS RC4.2, and battery life is not good, ( i need to test different kernel).

From your post it sounds like we have similar phone useage. So far i've found team icssgs with semaphore 0.8.1 to have great lag free experience with good battery life. Fairly light useage as I use my tablet for most internet & games (wifi, 3g on only if i need it with several calls, sms's, some xda, facebook& g+) and i made just under 4 days down 10% battery or there about.

I think I also have the same usage (phone, text, and web), and I'm a bit disappointed with ICSSGS RC4.2 with semaphore kernel. But I have data always connected (and synchro on), and when I use my phone intensively for about one hour, I loose about 30% of battery life. I'm still looking for a rom with data always enabled, that I can use intensively for 2 hours per day, without charging it during the day.. If you know a rom like that (like galaxy nexus do, but for SGS), please let me know !!
I'm a noob when it comes to Android roms and such.
I have a rooted samsung galaxy s infront of me now but I have a question.
I have read that a lot of roms disable a couple of original features, like the google play store, video camera etc.
Now my question; Is there a custom rom that gives you anything like android 4.0+ for example with no features being lost?
Yes I have heard about CM but I read that it does remove a couple of features which I need..
What features will you miss? Play store and video work perfectly on cm10 and 10.1 based ROMs plus they trend to have lots of extra features compared to stock. I'm running Mackay ROM based on jelly bean 4.2 (cm 10.1) with semaphore kernel. Stable and really fast.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm using RemICS-JB_4.2 , and for me it is very stable and fast, UI is from SGS3, worth to try...
The mackay rom is very good
So it's just a myth that you will lose some stock functions? Don't trust me on my word but I think I've read that it removes HD filming or something.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can enable xl ram (around 400 mb) in some kernels such as semaphore and devil which can mean you loose hd video, but by default it is disabled in almost all ROMs. So if you leave ram alone it's not a problem and I still have 720p video. Tbh there is a patch now that makes 720 work with big ram anyhow, but I manage just fine with the 389mb standard with semaphore so I haven't tested this.

So Semaphore kernel and CM as ROM leaves all normal features intact? Perfect. Just one last question; a lot of people prefer CM9 over CM10. Any specific reason for this?

Because CM9 is more stable. CM10 requires more resources to run on our old phones.You might not get enough RAM.I also noticed some games force closed on CM10.But they all work nicely in CM9.
Thanks for the answers.
Something popped in my head so that leaves me with 1 more question; I currently have hardcore speedmod kernel and I did the lagfix (transfer to EXT4) and it took some SD space of course. Now before I go to Semaphore kernel should I first somehow uninstall the lagfix? And how?
Thanks!

This is becoming less of an issue as development goes on but it is a factor to consider. I have to overclock cpu to get high end games to work. But you can't even install most of them on stock 2.3 so depends what you're after. I prefer the extra features that cm 10.1 gives. Can always flash to cm9 stable and give it a go and then upgrade from there, sensible to go to cm9 then 10 anyhow. You will have to full wipe between 9 and 10 though. So titanium backup is the best app you will ever install.

I'll just loan this thread a bit because I have a similar situation. I've only changed ROMs few times and I'm kinda noob myself too. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM. Few days ago I installed ELITEMOVILS:s 4.2.1 galaxy nexus stock rom. It's good but cant get the wifi working properly so I thought I'd try another one. Should I go for JB 4.1.2 or for 4.2.1? Are the 4.1.2 releases more stable and is there a big difference in features and speed? Also battery life is quite important factor for me when choosing ROM (BTW has anyone found a good replacement battery with longer battery life than the stock one?). I dont update ROMs that frequent so it would be important that the release would be stable and functioning.
Slim Roms are pretty lightweight 4.2.1 beta 1 for me has been pretty stable and responsive. I also downloaded and flashed Semaphore 2.9.0s afterwards.

4.1.2 should be more stable than 4.2.1 as its been developed longer and even has gotten the official stable version released.
4.2 does bring some new features like all new releases but not as major as for example 4.1 brought, for this reason Google decided to keep the Jellybean name for the newer version.
Regarding battery life your best bet is a Gingerbread ROM, but frankly I'm satisfied with my CM10 in that regard.
I'm using a Pisen 1700mAh battery, and its very good for its price,I bought it from Deal Extreme, but be careful to research a battery before buying any, most of them are horrible and can even break your phone in some cases.
It's been said an official 1800mAh battery meant for the Epic 4g (Carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S2) fits our phone even though it's thicker; I just bought one myself, but it's being shipped from the US and I'm in Norway so it'll be a week before I could confirm that myself...
The Wi-Fi issue with 4.2 is known and pawitp had released a fix for it, I don't know if the current nightlies from the CM team have incorporated it

I'm using a Pisen 1700mAh battery, and its very good for its price,I bought it from Deal Extreme, but be careful to research a battery before buying any, most of them are horrible and can even break your phone in some cases.
It's been said an official 1800mAh battery meant for the Epic 4g (Carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S2) fits our phone even though it's thicker; I just bought one myself, but it's being shipped from the US and I'm in Norway so it'll be a week before I could confirm that myself...
The Wi-Fi issue with 4.2 is known and pawitp had released a fix for it, I don't know if the current nightlies from the CM team have incorporated it

Thx for the reply. I just installed Slim Bean 4.2.1. Beta 2 six hours ago and so far I've liked it very much. WLAN working too. I think I'll change to 4.1.2. if I still encounter problems. I'll take a look at the DX battery. Please tell us how it went with the Epic 4g battery when u get to test it
