Looking for rom opinions please. - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi guys,
So ive reached the point where its time to put a rom other than the stock rom that im currently running. Now ive looked on the forums here and can see that there are several variations floating around. Really id like opinions on what is considered a stable rom to run. I dont use my phone for anything fancy, occasionally play a game, listen to music and all the obvious stuff. Any suggestions/ opinions would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Jim

Cyanogenmod 7.Just flash it and use it.

Emanon ROM would be suitable for you; it's the closest one to stock ROM.
CyanogenMod is a completely different ROM than stock ROM; and maybe you'll have some difficulties in adapting to its features and bugs (if any).

if u like the looks and interface of stock rom use emanon rom
and if u want a completely new rom with extra features go with cm7 rom

Thanks guys, have used cm rom in the past on my x10 mini pro. So it would seem the cm7 would be the way to go! Many thanks for the input guys. I am assuming odin is the best way forward with flashing a new rom?

custom ROMs for the galmin are not flashable via Odin. Only stock ROMs can be flashed through Odin. Mininum requirement for CM7 is 2.3.4.. If you have GB 2.3.4 then you can directly flash clockworkmod recovery.

Please do follow special instructions from the Devs.. Happy Flashing!
A click on the Thanks button would be much appreciated..

you have been here longer than i am, so i would think that you are supposed to read and use the search functions of this forum than just wait up for answers from other people that may not come at all.
if you are afraid to root, go no further. if you take the risk, then go all the way and test all the available roms and decide which one suits your taste. it's your phone, it's your risk.... do not blame anyone if something bad happens, because if somebody answers your question "which one would you recommend" and somebody does recommend a specific rom, and you BRICKED your phone in the process... you will curse whoever gave you that suggestion.
I found Rocket Rom v22 used with franco v6 kernel very fast and stable. I got my best benchmark scores using this setup.
Now on Midnote ICS and while very smooth it doesn't have the same benchmark scores. (Not that they mean much as it feels quicker in daily use).
To sync FB pics with contacts install FB app then go to settings/accounts and sync, add FB account. It will ask you what to sync eg all contacts etc

if u r brave enough ... try rocket rom ics beta v1.5.. but be very careful while flashing.. u need to be fully rooted. If you would like to stick to gingerbread go with chechrom v5
Thanks people!! if you guys got any opinions or tips on note please let me know thanks!
and anyone know how to show percentage in the battery icon?

tried all ics roms ,,midnote has been best so far smoothness everything working was easist to flash also and stayed rooted
I won't suggest you flash ics rom as the procedures are much more complicated than flashing a gingerbread rom.

Which rom should I use for first flash?

I'm looking to root my phone.
I read a lot on xda and I found a lot of interesting information.
But right now I don't know which kernel/rom combination to use.
I've looked around and I don't really like the feel of ICS. I prefer GB.
So what now?
custom kernel and stock rom?
darky rom?
cm7?
Thank you!

Darky Rom is a good place to start for your first custom rom flash.
All you need to do is reboot to download mode.
Connect your phone to your PC
Open Odin
Install an RE version of Darky Rom
If you do want to try ICS Slim Rom is very nice and i have been running it here for a few weeks with no issues

For ics this is a good thread of bench marks for the various roms.

Thanks for the benchmark thread.
Does CM9 have swype?
or which rom does have it?
For swype just search for swype beta and you can install on any rom. I've tried a lot of the ics roms (cm9, weui, aokp, cna, team icsgs, dark night, slim ics). My favourite was Team ICSSGS. Unfortunately this has not been updated in a while so currently on slim ics which is fast becoming my favourite.
If you havn't flashed ics before i recomend either following ics for dummies or ics333 installation thread in the general section of the sgs forum. Once you've got an ics rom and basics then it is easy to update to slim or any other rom you choose.

Help needed

Hello all just picked up a note and have a few questions. When i received it, it was already rooted running an ICS rom and CF kernel 5.3. I am not sure what rom the phone is running, would I be able to unroot and restore back to stock and then flash the rom of my choice? Or can i simply flash another rom in CWR after wiping? Is there a certain kernel i need? Ive seen so many threads for bricked notes and counters and triangles...my eyes are popping. If anyone can offer any help id be very thankful. Id love my note to feel as close to my stock SG3 as possible, if anyone can recommend a rom or a method please let me know.

If you are one KL3 then you can just root your phone and flash any Rom you want...if not..you have degrade your phone to KL3 and flash on it...
I would recommend Crash...its GS3 launcher and music player...with cool animations and pretty fast too...

Really light rom with decent battery life (ics or jb)

Hi guys and girls!
Hope you are all doing well. Anyway, I rooted yesterday and am running a new kernel (speed mod k13 I believe) anyway. What I am after now, is as the title says, a light, fast rom with decent battery life. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or experiences and could suggest something. Would a CYANOGEN from work? When I had my galaxy s I was using 7 and found it really good. But are there others?
Cheers!
Oliver
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
cyanogen will indeed work as will paranoid android charack,s,rocket rom if its lite you want then look for a rom with aroma installer so you can install what you want
Cheers!, really liking the look of paranoid android, especially the hybrid roms! it has been a goood while since i flashed a rom, so need to figure out what i have to do again. lol, thanks, if you can provide any tips on moving to this rom from stock ics with speedmod kernel, it would be helpful! Thanks.
Is this a decent guide to follow for paranoid android?

As long as you are on safe kernel you don't have to worry about anything or to revert back to GB. Just keep flashing rom with full wipes. Its enough for you.....
So, i am trying to back up through CWM on hydracore, it gets soooo close to the end and then says there was an error backing up the data, any ideas on what this is or a remedy for it?
I dont really want to flash a rom without doing the backup... even though in the past, i have done (old phone) is it imperritive to make a backup?

What exactly you want to backup from old rom, apps? If so then use titanium backup. I never backup whole rom as it hardly takes 15-20 minutes to setup rom if you have backup of apps.

Yes, as with any AOKP/ CM9 based rom..
There are alternative apps that could be used.
Otherwise, there are some excellent choices when it comes to Touchwiz-based roms as well.
Some are available themed to the AOKP look, if you prefer.

stable stock ROM

hi guys just dropping by here, i am from samsung forum and i want to ask here what is the latest and most stable stock ROM for X8? plz be patient just new here at x8
By the way there's no stable and fast ROM because every rom has it's own pros and cons. And it's own character so try yourself rom like ginger dx,zencefil,and rom in my signature
andthere's Many rom also out there so do some searching and testing to get a nice rom
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda app-developers app
Plus, you can try.. Like me.. I have try many roms for stock kernel in my x8.. Choose rom what fits with you.. You can't determine the rom's performance just by one look.. As the above bro said.. You must try at first and consider what rom is fits with your needs.. What features do you need for your phone? That's it.. X8 is a low performance phone and we all know it so we can't suggest that.. Choose yourself
There are two stock roms, donut(1.6) and eclair(2.1), you can imagine how good they are...
