[Q] Choosing ROM, need some advice - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've just bought SGS and I need some advice before i choose ROM.
I was reading a lot about different ROMs here on forums, youtube comments, etc.
My favorite ROMs are Darky'S 10.2 and Jetpack mod 8.2 or maybe some ICS rom.
What I want from ROM: speed, smoothness, as much free ram as possible, all things working.
Is here anybody who tried these ROMs and can tell me which one is better? Or maybe some kind of pros/cons for these roms? I don't time to try them all and decide myself which one is best.
Please give me some tips.
Best regards, Boos.

well I'm a noob and have got 10.2.2 darkys and its really fast as far as I can see

Which Rom?

Hi Guys,
Been away for a while due to health problems, I have Froyo Doc V9 JPO on my SGS.
Browsing the forum now there are simply loads too choose from, could any kind soul tell me which rom i can safely go up to from the version i have now.
Thank you kindly
If you are on Froyo you can basically migrate to whatever Gingerbread or CyanogenMod version you want. If you are not familiar with the latest tips & tricks the easiest thing to do probably would be to opt for one of the recently launched JVH or JVP roms. Look into solutions offered by Darky, Juwe and read the installation instructions thoroughly. Very easy to understand is the work done by DocRambone and Stefunel

If you want to stay close to the latest stock rom and still get a good user experience point your browser to

Thanks man - i opted for Darky Rom - Quick and painless. @)
I´m using Darkys ROM 10.1 RE and it is awsome. Good choice!
And you can try Miui which looks better. And it is pretty easy to flash from Froyo.

Try them out for yourself! You will never get a straight answer as it is entirely personal, and mods always shut these threads

although im relatively new to the SGS scene i have already done my fair share of flashing.
I have found that there are 3 roms i regulary have been swapping between.
Simply Honey
Juwe's Smart Edition
Tweaky Rom
they are all fast and stable roms.
I have tried and tested Darky's Rom enjoyed it but I haven't re-visited it recently.
MIUI is a very very nice sleek interface, but the battery didn't seem to last very well with me.
Same with CM7 nice clean OS but the battery was an issue (and I used to swear by CM on my old G1, I will revisit when the battery is sorted).
My first SGS flashing experience was Simply Honey and I had no problems with it at all.
at the end of the day, in my opinion, every one has their favourite flavour from their favourite chef. I suggest you try them all at least once until you find your favourite.
(just flashed the latest Juwe's and so far its impressive)

[Q] Looking for a recommended rom

hi
a question for the experts:
im looking for a recommended rom, as fast as possible, including lagfix if needed. Especially when having lots fo apps.
It just that i got this annoying lags on my current Rom, and sometimes i got an annoying delay when hitting an app buttons, up to 3-4 sec.
There are so many roms so i'm a bit lost, and will appreciate if you could help me get the best rom that i'm looking for.
And one more thing if possible: I prefer a detailed HowTo installation guide as possible...
Thanks
if you want to stay close to the base rom... try a deodexed base rom with a kernel supporting lagfix like darkcore..
or try this link (a list of custom roms)
alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/10/samsung-galaxy-s-custom-roms-list-1014.html
Personally i tried (and adopted) GingerReal :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025348
Already fast with just this rom. and after activating the voodoo lagfix with cwm it's really fast.
I have a very goo user experience with this rom. (looking forward to V7 (JVQ) that should go out tonight)
Go out to dev and explore, matter of taste/how you use your phone/your preferences......and each rom will have detailed install instructions....if not then pick the dev up on it. You will get as many answers as there are roms with this kind of question, and if your answer is......i haven't got time.....then stay with stock as you won't have time to sort any subsequent problems!
Insanity cm017/glitch v10c
MIUI Galnet V3...give it a try, you won't be disappointed...
i have 2 options for you
1- i tried many roms and i realized that Darky rom is awesome in performance and the team is really cooperating , wait for Darky v.10.2 i expect it come out soon , it will be perfect rom
2- different and fast rom Galnet " make you own iphone look on android galaxy " bring all what you wish , but stil have few defects but they make weekly developing , and v3 will come out tonight
Or CM7 - fastest ROM beside MIUI.

From my point of view, MIUI is really great in comparison to the original SGS mod. I'm using it and updating it every two weeks because of the updates it's providing us.
Well im usin F1 galaxy s2 rom it makes you feel like u are usin galaxy s2 and its fast without lagfix enabled.
My + its for Juwe's Smart Edition > v5.0 XXJVP .... Semaphore Kernel its in Rom and you can flash new v. with cwm ....
Rom its very stable , fast and very nice .... in my case - all works fine

I definitely recommend the Super Galaxy rom by socialsp!

[Q] which rom u think is the best one

in rom development page u can see many roms,
i wanna konw which one u think is best,
thank u!
It's a matter of personal preferences really ...
Only way to get a proper answer is to test/use each ROM for a few days up to a week at least.
It also depends a lot on what YOU are looking for and use the most in a smartphone ....
From MY subjective point of view ,Galnet MIUI is the "best" ROM.
If you can do with not so great battery life and few other bits this ROM is great , but others will contradict me I'm sure and will have good arguments as well ...
u have posted this in a wrong section..
If we are just talking about the number of users, Doc's Rom kitchen wins hands down.
But in terms of added function (which is sort of what custom roms are about), there are many other better roms.
On the cutting edge of development, you have CM7 and MIUI. Cyanogen Mod is closer to the vanilla Android experience, while MIUI produce a more iOS like interface. Both have a myriad of new functions that you won't find in any other roms. However, both suffer from battery drain problem, camera quality drop, no 720p recording, etc. It's the price you pay for being at the forefront of development.
If you prefer to play it safe, there are a whole load of custom roms that are based on stock roms. Juwe smart edition, simply honey, Darkyy, etc. It's difficult to judge which is better, so I suggest that you choose on the basis of theme.
I have experienced many roms, including ROM Kitchen, Stock, Darky's, Simple Honey, etc... and my opinion is that, for me, the best one now is Galnet's MIUI. But that depends on what do you want from it: Speed? Stability? Appearance? As for the battery related problems, I have yet to find one that gives me problems. obzcen is right:
"It's a matter of personal preferences really ..."

Have u try ( f1 galaxy 2 )
I think it is worth
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Been using Goatrip for the last 6-8 weeks now on 3.0 update 1 & it is by far the best RON I have used
In my opinion there only 2 options...
Darky 10.1 or F1 Galaxy S2 V6 with Galaxian kernel
jvq+galaxian+extraordinary work good for me
try [ROM][F1 Galaxy S2 V6][SP1][Look & Feel Of Galaxy S2]...
the best rom for me..
i am using an Dutch ROM with the Talon kernel , that us supporting custom boot animations , i made an few 4 the Talon kernel which i am gonna post them on XDA soon !
Darky has been out for a while and are now on version 10.2, so it feels stable. f1 if you want speed.
It's hard to say which is best rom for each invidual . The best way is that you try some of the those most popular roms. In my opinion the best rom at the moment is GalnetMIUI .
Hell yeah... The best way to find best rom - try some of them Test it about 1-2days and next and next. Because as many peoples as many opinions...
i like darkys rom but the battery drain make me far away to use it...
hope he can fix that.
anybody can cook a rom stable as darkys, fast,smooth and good battry life as F1 galax...
Tried all other roms... but still goes back to F1 Galaxy S2 V6 SP1 + Galaxian SP2
It's hard to say which ROM is the best because ideas is different and best way to find best ROM is try some of popular roms.
But I like amestris custom Roms and JVR stock ROM+semaphore kernel
Good luck
Sorry for bad English
In this moment i have Darky 9.5 with speedmod kernel, now is time to change the rom and i keep eyes on the development of JetPack and semaphore kernel.
Insanity
Hi,
I have tried all roms before (darky, goatrif, Juwe's, Doc...).
And without any doubt the fastest and best one is Insanity:

[Q] A Rom for my Galaxy S I9000

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).

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

[Q] Comparing ICS ROMs

Hello everybody!
After long hesitations I just took the first step into this world last week by rooting my i9000 under Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I am now considering the idea of making the leap to ICS but while there are many threads where people ask "which ROM should I take?" and other answer "I'm using xxx and it's the best!" I can't find any discriminant reason.
Do you know whether there is a comparison table of the different ROMs' purposes, performances and features somewhere?
Thank you in advance!
Tiramislim rom works smoothly with semaphore with great battery life.... one more reason is that it is customizable with aroma installer
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I prefer ics333 2.0 with devil kernel 3. Its fast. functional and has good battery life......that's just my 2cents...guess you got to try out the roms...make use of cwm ... so you can backup/restore to your favorite rom.
Well, thank you both to have taken the trouble to reply, but that's exactly because of such statements that I've seen so many times and which can't help me in any way that I started this thread.
To reformulate my question:
What is the difference between CM9, MIUI, Tiramislim, ics333 and other roms? Did someone make a list of features or other comparison document so that it might be possible to make a choice or at least a shortlisting without having to take the risk and time of installing / testing / re-installing so many different roms?
Dude no one is going to help u to that extent.... try each and every rom for 4-5 days and find out your favourite rom... each and every rom in xda is good
sgs i9000 = god
