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 ?

GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best

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

[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)
darky's rom amazing

+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...

Witch Official Rom Is Best Right Now ?

Pleas post firmware link to best rom available
XXJVU Best for the time...
Not sure if it's an officially released ROM but JW1 seems to be currently the most stable ROM for SGS.

...Define 'best'?
i'd say JVT or JVU for general usage.
For something more exciting various ICS builds can be very good (although they are still RC's)
Flake x
Just a quick question. I want to give stock Rom + Custom Kernel a try. Is it possible to install any kernel via Odin or only specific one like CF-Root? (e.g. i wanna install Semaphore Kernel).
Thanks.
Oh and does the loading bug after 100% battery and on cable still exist? (Hope u know what i mean)
Upload the stock rom,root and then flash via sgs flash kernel (app from market) semaphore kernel.

Please suggest good ICS ROM for Galay S i9000

Please suggest good ICS ROM for Galay S i9000 for daily use.

Please help me out am new to rooting.
Currently on 2.3.6 value pack rooted. (CF kernel)

slim ics 4.2 with seapahore kernel......
stable,lag free with excellent battery.....
Another thread with the same question! ICS333 in my experience is the best, though slim is one of the few I haven't tried!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'd also root for Slim, faster than CM9 in my experience and never disappointed me. No need to flash Semaphore though IMO, the stock kernel also is working great.
I dont own the S1 anymore, but before i sold it, i have used "DarkyROM". This was the best ROM i've ever used. Fast, stable and good.
I i would the S1 again, i would install DarkyROM again.
RemICS v1.3
I use it daily and it's wonderful...
I would say cm9 with devil kernel.
I used TeamICSSGS' rom. Was very happy with it but today swapped it for Jelly bean.
for crying out loud, there's about 5 threads like this now .....why don't you people just read? ! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Well said slappy....
In addition to it, dont ask which one is good as the one good for someone wont fit in your case so best answer it just test roms until you find the one for you ;-)

I9000 powered by RemICS-UX
Try ParanoidAndroid ROM BEST for me

I want to flash CM 9 nightly build. Which version should i choose? Which is a stable build for daily use?
Also if i want to flash Slim ICS is it mandatory to flash CM9 first?
current ROM - Value pack 2.3.6
Kernel - CF root kernel.
Best and best looking is RemICS!!

very smooth and best design of all ICS roms, for me

Get CM9 RC2 which has been released today. Its stable version.
You can directly install Slim ICS. There is no need to install CM9 before installing Slim ICS.

Darky rom ONLY does official Samsung ROMs... since ICS was never officially released for the i9000 , there is no Darky ICS rom for the galaxy S...
Edit: OK so it seems after Darky Rom split and the others formed TeamAlliance, Darky has decided to make AOSP ROMs as well while Alliance doesn't...
Therefore cdwriter was right... there is a Darky ICS...

Best ICS ROM?
I have tried almost ALL the ICS Roms out there. And i can confidently say that i have found AOKP to be the baddest of 'em all. Not even CM9 mind you.
Make sure you use the NEW DataFix script by Windego (the 20120524) and NOT the older one (20120329).
Use the ROM with Devil Kernel (0.79 version) Choose Voodoo Colors or CMC, your choice. Before flashing this kernel, make sure you remove the already included init.d datafix script. (Open the package in WinRAR, navigate to system > etc > init.d > remove file named "S30dafafix)

Yes, DarkyRom is on of the best roms... Hope that Darky will make a JB rom soon
You can try SLIM ICS by karvind. The ROM is pretty fast, smooth and stable. I was using it till Build 4.1 and I switched to JB

[Q] which kernel to flash on 2.3.6

hi
here is my version:
-Galaxy S GT-i9000
-2.3.6 XXJW4
-some 2.6.35.7 kernel
my question is can i flash this kerner to one of those below?
mngb0.5.6
Devil 0.08
Glitch 13.1
SpeedMod Gingerbread
Semaphore 2.7.4
and which one do u prefer for speed and performance?
sorry for my english
Semaphore is standard in a lot of GB Roms
Speedmod would be my preference.. but why?
Are you having issues with it?
You are on JW4 2.3.6 - JW9 is out

i'm new to this there, just want to try some new kernels, see which fits me ye and this one is a bit slow.
is it so simple?just flashe over the existing kernel "stock"?
yes im on jw4 2.3.6.i thought jw4 is for europe so i downloaded it.can i flash jw9 over this one or do a fresh one?
are there any improvements in jw9.
thnx for reply
got my sgs on december 2012 and this was my first flash ever :/ so like i told i have no experience with this for now, but its not so hard.
I am a fan of GB roms, easier to mod :silly:
Phone slow as in how?
It all depends on what you use the phone for as there are roms out there for multitasking, games, overall use etc...
Im on GB Saurom JW9.. Its stable and well balanced (my preference, I am in the UK)
Or the MesoRom, there are many.....depending on your needs
Flashing a kernel can cause issues, a lot of people have crashed there phones cause they flashed the wrong ones
Read up or PM the developer of the Rom to see whats suited to your phone and other peoples posts.
Flashing another Rom :
If its a GB rom that you want to flash then its JVU First, then Root JVU then Flash your Rom that your wanting to use.
SEE HERE
Let me know if you need more help

thnx for reply i will try that link u gave me tonight.
the gt uses too much RAM and its a bit laggy.i dont use it so much but i like it smooth.on AnTuTu Benchmark i had 3777 score and on Quadrant can remember but i think it was 17xx.
i have like one or two games on it and some apps that i use every day.got rid of some system apps, was experimenting little and i was suprized.had like 190-200 free RAM always.but when i instaled google play it droped like hell 100-140.
after flashing with JVU i can flash any rom i like?4.2.1 JB???
in this curret 2.3.6 i dont have recovey mode.couldnt fix it .tryed 100 times, all possibilities.
i want this ROM to install on my sgs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041928
so can i flash it after JVU???
Yes just follow my Walkthrough and you can install any Rom you wish : HERE
Also If you like my themed rom of JW9 Saurom Thats HERE if you wish that i am using with no lags etc...
Do not flash GB from JB. You need to install ICS first, even for 5 minutes..
Flashing from GB directly to JB will likely lose your IMEI number and that will, depending on your country, leave your phone unable to call, text etc lol
If you know how to restore efs then you can miss out ICS without problem.
