Hey guys. I'm actually happy with my current setup (all on stock except some rooting and removing crapware) but i'd love to try out a different rom.
So i'm looking for the most stable rom out there, maybe even with some CPU modifications but that doesn't really matter.
I use my phone everyday, sms, whatsapp, internet, some pictures, some gaming.
A better battery life than on the stock rom would be nice too.
My phone's charging atm so i have time to check out some roms in the meantime, what about the Modaco Fr 17 Vanilla Edition? It looks the best imho, very nice and sleek.
Thanks in advance
I'm using MoDaCo Fr17 with 622 basband.
Totaly stable... i've only used it for a couple of days, but i'm a heavy user and usually "fiddles" alot with the phone, installing **** in big quantities
So far i have had no FC's and no BSOD or reboots
And the overclock kernel is a nice bonus
Thanks for your input! I'm about to flash the vanilla version, i'll just play around until i find the one that suits me the best.
Which doesn't mean i don't want to hear more opinions
There is no "most stable" rom here. You have to try out yourself and see which is the most stable for you.
For me stock is most stable
the modaco 17 vanilla is running like a charm. the battery life is definitely okay, 2 days with normal use, some sms, some calls, a few hours of playing and browsing.
using stock baseband.
ofc no bsods, reboots, freezes, whatever

The only significant upgrade is the much faster GPS-fix. Other than that it's just a slightly improved experience, everything is just a little bit better/smoother, which makes the experience in total much better.

Please participate in this poll.
Which is the best ROM & Kernel for N7000 ?
Please describe based on the following ....
a) Battery Drain - Based on usage
b) How many ROMS's have you tried ??
c) What are the issues with Best ROM & Kernel ??
d) You too confused to choose the GB ROM ? Watch the Thread.
I havent personally chosen ICS coz all ROMS are in Beta Stage. I would love AOSP but for Spen Samsung apps.
I like CheckROM personally due to simplicity and Stock ROM stability. But would really love to hear from all you guys.
I have missed Cassie's Xtralite ROM, Rocket GB ROM . Please message me if you like it. Couldn't edit the poll.
LOOKS LIKE IN CUSTOM ROMS CHECKROM AND DARKYROM with Franco Kernel is Leading the Poll.
I'm pretty sure that everyone claiming awesome battery life from such-and-such kernel are just placebo. Maybe they differ a few %, but who'd notice.

I was so confused with GB rom choices that I went for ICS. Do I need to keep watching this thread as well?
I used CheckRom on my SGS II and the wifes and now on the Note. It's stable. Stability is most important. Battery life means nothing to me as I carry an extra battery, keep one at work on a charger as well and charge every night. I want to USE the phone at max updates, Maps on , BT on, GPS on, Email pushing and all updates at Min. Everything runnning.
I am on WiFI 90% of the the phones on time. I don't set the phone to turn WiFi off when screen is off. I listen to the FM radio 5 hours a day and Still get over 12 hours before the warning. PLENTY Good enough battery life. I don;t play games or watch movies unless plugged up to a Power supply. Only on cross country flights do I carry the two extra batteries.
I am running CF Root Kernel. See too many issues with new releases of others (except SpeedMod which is a great kernel but I don't really need it).
Looking forward to OFFICIAL ICS with EVERYTHING working as it should be. Will likely flash CheckRom's version as well. I can wait. I don;t like ICS theme or Touch Wiz and will likely stick with my current theme and GoLAuncher even when on official ICS

What I have found is JKay ICS Domination Theme looks elegant and Less RAM consuming hence fast !
Anyhow I appreciate the fact that CheckROM is really good.
I haven't really tried other ROMS.
May be I am too behind the testers who are on ICS.
But I m just waiting for SPEN support or particularly SPen apps support in AOSP and then I am in for ICS.
CASSIE X for sure. Fast and stable

Even if you used for 10 mins continuously (watching videos) had a 1% drop it would be awesome.

Hi Jeff ,
Yes the listed are 5 GB ROms and 4 Kernels. It's a Multiple Choice Poll.
I created this poll for GB Roms and I believe RocketROM is an ICS ROM now.
Sorry for not adding Rocket Rom for GB. Do u really like it ??
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Just a quick question. Maybe someone tried all of our beloved ICS roms and kernels? If yes, could you please share your experience with them? I would be grateful! Testing requires tons of time .. which i do not have much.
Currently on CM9 Owain 79 build with Jarvis v7 kernel with apex launcher, OC 14** mhz. Well battery life is enough for me, actually is great (3days of light usage), just feeling some latency. Any tips (don't use that, use that, etc..)?
P.s. I know all the builds are great and all the combos are great for someone and for someone not, because of ridiculous angle of different p990 region devices. Just share your experience if you have tried and find something great! Thank you!

First of all, since hardware acceleration isn't present as well as the other drivers for ICS on our phone, you won't get it as fluid as Gingerbread was.
What you can do however is to test Owain's rom without Jarvis kernel as i've noticed that the Jarves kernel doesn't get rid of any UI lag at all.
Secondly, if what LG's facebook page says is true, we'll get an official ICS build somewhere in Q3 meaning pretty soon.. Now i know LG hasn't kept it's word before... but hey if this is true, your problem will be solved soon enough.
If you really want your phone to be nearly lag free, i'd suggest switching back to CM7-based ROMs for a while.
I tried nova hd. Perfectly developed I think. It has very few bugs and incredibly fast. Try it with lightning speed kernel.

I tried EaglesBlood AOSP - so far its very smooth too but then i missed some settings from CM and went over to paranoid+Jarvis 7.
Cheers
Currently running xxMrHyde unofficial build with nova kernel 1.0.7 and it's doing great.. though battery drains much faster compared to cm7..
Running MIUIv4 (bihariel's build). MIUI has simply stunning looks and its theming engine (and available themes) are simply awesome.
Be advised, you need to sacrifice a bit of performance a functionality on MIUI over other ICS builds like CM9, only for its looks, but i love it so much that for me, its worth it
will the official ICS version have hardware gpu acceleration? or we will never see ics with hardware gpu acc on our phone?

I also running v4 MIUI by bihariel. I agree that the management issues is something exceptional. But I must say that I have tried many roms and gb ics and have not found a difference in performance or slow as you say. Using another launcher, so MIUI home which is very heavy and a couple of kill app to lighten the ram, perhaps because of this.
However, all the rom try this is extraordinary.

Not sure about the big differences in roms, but if you want a smooth CM9 launcher, I recommend LG UI 3.0! smoother than samsung touchwiz home, nova, trebuchet. Not had anything smoother since then.

LG 3.0 IU tried rom NOVA HD and it seemed a little heavy, maybe on this rom. Instead I am comfortable with Xperia launcher 0.9.1b + widgets and icons support. I also used on other rom, stable and lightweight.

Well, the launcher along with its customizability (icons etc) is one if the main reasons to choose MIUI over cm, so changing that would ruin all the fun

[KERNEL] HorsePower 2x, [ROM] PARANOIDNANDROID v1.5
Hello all together,
I have a short question and I hope my school-english will be enough so you can understand.
My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

Please do a full wipe, including /system, then reflash and first try it with the stock kernel.
I have none of these issues.

Hey guys, I've been changing roms alot recently and was wanting one that's nice and fast and has decent battery life.At the moment I have ARHD as I hear quite alot of good thoughts of it, but I think it's pretty average. It's slow and choppy. I've tried a reflash and I got rid of everything on my SD (I knew it wouldn't work, but thought I'd give it a shot)
So yeah, thoughts? Preferably one which has a kernel which supports OC'ing. Needs to be fast and nice to use, thanks all

CM7.2 RC3!
I've been trying all the other roms that come out just for fun and some of them really are great but I can't help myself - I keep returning to CM7.2 after a week or so of each... It just works perfectly in every way, it's fast, stable and has a great battery life. Can't really ask for more. Second place is The Incredible 1.1 but that's not a surprise seeing as it is a mod of CM - the only thing not so great is the use of Launcher Pro instead of ADW but I guess that is down to personal choice.
Anyway, in the unlikely event of you not having tried CM7.2 I'd say fire it up

Don't know why you found battery life terrible...sometimes it's also a matter of what you like really...but once you try open Android you'll start fully appreciating it and start hating Sense from my experience...different people different opinions though.
The incredible 1.1: fully stable and using supercharger actually slows it down. It's lightning fast after install.
i too found that with the IceCold series up until 7.2/7.3 battery life was horrible. Sense roms seem to give a very good battery life lasting me well over a day. and i prefer the sense ui way better than stock aosp/aokp roms.
Well I'm back with ice cold and it is great! Haven't used it since 7.0 or somwthinf,... its just so much better compared to sense. Its faster and looks way nicer. Only thing is mms doesn't work. *sad face*

In IceCold 8.4 there's a solved MMS/SMS issue - at leat the one I had and I was one of the first people who experienced the problem in the first place. Plus if the automatic settings don't work out, the manual override is working without a glitch .... So it's fully working ROM for now but depends on how you install it/download it and other stuff.... It's all written in the thread but so far there's no other ROM that's as fast and as stable for me. Battery wise - I got through a full day of at least an hour talk time, browsing, WiFi moderate usage and I still have at least 50% when I get home. And my phone is on 3G/H mode all the time - on 2G/EDGE - it lasts two days :good: If that's bad you need Motorola Razr MAXX with the 3,3Ah battery

Apart from CM7.2! As it's GB based it is rock solid and everything works flawlessly. I use maps a lot and MMS too a bit and the compass works perfectly in maps and MMS is not an issue. No FCs, no compatibility issues (the earlier ICS roms seemed to be incompatible with some apps but that seems to be resolved completely now) and just no worries at all.
It'll be a different story once the devs get hold of the kernal source of course... once that happens I'll be grabbing CM9 so fast it'll get whiplash!
The only gripe i have with AOSP/AOKP is the camera.
It just cant churn out the same quality that the sense roms can
Hey guys, i know many of those threads came here in the past time but i have a question.
I want to give my i9000 to my mother. I need a stable rom which doesnt need to update daily or weekly. I know from many roms that they run VERY fluid in the first few days but barely a week later they begin to lag, stuck, etc.
My mother wants to make calls, maybe whatsapp, facebook, etc.
In addition to that my little brother will pick the phone up and want to play some games likes jetpack joyride or something.
The Rom mustnt be 4.2.2 because i know that many 4.2.2 roms are getting laggy after some time of usage. even slim bean which i used a lot and love it.
anyone any suggestions?
thank you!
why don't u use the stock 2.3.6 rom ? it's ok..plenty of features, god battery life and enough new apps that can run on it. At least you know it's stable and bug-free. After using slimbeam for a few months i went back to stock...it's better for me because i want a stable rom, fast, vith little customization. Slim it's ok but i had some bug's and if u are on a trip or u need to use the gps to go somewhere u don't whant to get force close or other things.

Agreed, stock, or a debloated/optimised stock is the best option. I tend to go back to stock because its rock stable, without losing on too many things.
Especially considering GPS and battery life, stock does incredibly well.

okay thanks guys so the majority sticks for gingerbread. i'll stick to the stock rom since my mother never had a smartphone till now and will be surprised positively anyway
@bialabs. CM10.1 is nice but i think the batterylife is very poor on every cm rom since the gingerbread roms. i dont know why but on the i9000 it uses a lot of battery for some reason.
maybe we can leave this thread open for some other user experiences for people who want to live without bunch of extras and customizations
Great question OP. Just giving my mother an old SGS from a friend which runs CM nightlies. Wanted to find a simple, stable rom for her, as she doesnt have a smartphone. Came on xda to find one. Thanks for the replies.
Try Sexynogenmod 2.5 It's rock stable(don't bother with any changes to governor or OC) battery life ,in my case, is similar to stock, gps working fine and very smooth. It's odd that it's based on cyanogenmod 10, maan it's so much different(better). I personally recommend it, and i flash ROMs since 2010

My experience
I am using Supernexus 2 M1. It is almost Stock for Samsung Galaxy S I9000. It working really good. Stable, good speed, etc...
Slimbean 6 i use and no big problem.
All great suggestions. But i finally decided on a gingerbread, because i believe it is more intuitive for a beginner. Stock was a bit laggy, so now i use Saurom ROM 2.3.6 (JWB) with Menu addon pack + Semphore 2.7.4 kernel. Everything is great and have no issues so far.
I use JB 4.2.2 - CM10.1 + Sempahore, all working great..
Nice stable ROM... try it

is it stable when you dont update the nightlies? i know its nice for the first week but when u dont "update" it a long time it becomes very laggy even if you dont install something

10.1.0 sstable was released, probably doesn't have that problem.

ah ok, i'll try it, if not. i'll go to stock.
But one little question. Is that annoying datadata notification still there? it wouldnt be very comfortable when my mom has to use to app2sd stuff all the time
