Tell me please. I wanna flash ICS in my GT-I9000
Thanks
I guess CyanogenMod 9 for SGS will be the best but it's still in alpha. I can't wait to see stable version (anybody knows when it will be released?). As far I didn't use any ICS rom so notnasty9999 you should wait for other replies.

Without fail daxinfinity's codenameandroid port;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485734
It's at the level where the CM9 alpha should be - great performance (especially with glitch kernel), best battery life of the ICS roms, and the most customization.
Do yourself a favour as well, install the apex launcher - looks and performance of the stock ICS launcher, but cyanogen levels of customization.
I tried cm9 and onecosmic
And now i got AKOP port 2.02
There is no lags , FC , not stuck , A lot of customizion
And it is the best for me

AOKP 2.02beta with Semaphore 0.8.1 is extremelly fast, reliable, stable! highly recommend.
ive just installed daxinfinitys got to say pretty good no problems so far love all the extra tweaks you can do.
Teamhacksung is the best. In my experience, this is the most stable ICS build (currently on build 16). I have messed about with AOSP and AOSK and some of the other versions and at first they seem better but often they seem to have a fault - lockscreen freezes or problems with my external sd card and transferring large files with my laptop. I have found the semaphore kernerl (latest version) really good when setting on battery saver mode. You can also change the boot animation with ROM toolbox - good stuff there!

is a bad habit.
I am aware of badly implemented search function of xda, but still?
Best practice = read more, try self.
Pattern of phone usage will always be different.
Bro, hello there, I have 2 SGS, one is running CM9 with original kernel, and another one is with TEAMICSSGS RC4.2+Devil kernel 14.2LED, no doubt, TeamICSSGS is my choice, it is fast, reliable, and most major function are working, around 95% of the function are working perfectly, especially the camera video effect, which makes my day..Try it, trust me..=D..have a nice day
Teamhacksung will pwn all the others and still does.
All those 'wow I have a new ROM' which is totally PAWITP's with a bit of my
own (kuch % battery and don't know what other kinda stupid stuff) are so
not comparable.
They call it SLIM ICS because they deleted some apps, wow it has such a
better battery and lightningfast, yeah well every dork can do that (but
they still call it a new ROM mhowhehaha). It's all in between the ears.
Still think there a 2 main ICS ROMS:
- OneCosmic
- TeamHacksung
And TeamHacksung, here flashed on my i9000, is still the best from build #1.
Stable, stock or on Glitch, so no need to flash all the 20 other useless things.
I don't even flash my phone now every week and my phone is kinda stable,
the accu's getting used to the build and with everything on I have a good
phone.
I use AOKP and I am very satisfied.
It has only very minor bugs and is perfectly suitable for everyday use.
I haven't used Teamhacksung as I had the "hello hello" bug in CM7 which others are reporting in Teamhacksungs CM9.
Currently using Team ICSSGS 4.2 with semaphore 0.8.1. Been using this combo for almost two weeks & battery life is awesome with great performance and for what I use my phone for it is super stable, virtually lag free and with no noticeable issues.
While I do miss all the customisations of the CM Roms the "hello hello" bug is a deal breaker for me. There is apparently a solution to actually fixing the bug but this also appears to work for some people but not all. (You can download hbb2_test.zip - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4681 if you have these issues)
I agree with inozako TEAMICSSGS RC4.2+Devil kernel 14.2LED, is the best solution....try it
Testing almost all, cm9, CNA ('s), AOKP ('s), MIUIv4 and finally AOKP 2.0.2 is the best, the most stable, the easiest to customize & very good battery.
in my signature no doubt
I haven't tried Teamhacksung's since i have i9000b and it doesnt support it but i did try ICSSGS and i tell you i cant think on a better rom. You should give it a try, since its avalible for i9000, i9000b captivate and vibrant

Damiangto kernel
Or
Cyanogenmod
Most people just go with some stock/custom samsung rom with a custom kernel. Samsung based roms aren't all that much different from each other, some tweaks, removal/add of programs, different theme and that's pretty much it. In the end i always ended up finding something i didn't like and up to this day i haven't seen anyone correcting the charging bug on samsung's roms.
No offense meant to any developer out there, of course, but i've tried loads of roms and this is my experience of it.
This kind of changed after trying cyanogenmod 7 stable. It isn't based on samsung's roms. And i know this statement is, by now, a cliche around here but this is, by far,the fastest and most stable rom i've tried up to this day and is what i recommend from personal experience.
Just a note to however follows this route. There are nightlies being released after the stable version and i've seen people recommending them instead of the stable because they were release after the stable and are just added stuff. The way i see it, if they're adding new stuff, it may break previous stable work. Well, this is your call, they are called nightlies for a reason, not stable.
Up to you though, i've seem some posts saying they had all sorts of trouble with CM7. I reckon either they were unlucky, tried an unstable version or just didn't follow instructions properly and ended up quitting.
It seems that GingerReal v1.3 for Galaxy Ace is more stable as what I have experienced.

I've went back to latest official ROM, 2.3.3 JVH NEE, released in Sweden by Samsung because I got tired to always hunt for the perfekt kernel and the perfect ROM.
Now I know why I started looking for other ROM's.. It's lags when playing musik via Spotify while you surf the net, slow over all respons in UI, I know it's slow due to RFS and I've converted to EXT4, but I'm not fully satisfied.
I want a as near STOCK ROM att possible and stable as original (Yes, the latest Swedish ROM, 2.3.3 JVH, is the most stable ROM I've used and got the best battery time, even tho it's slow.).
Does you know of any ROM that meet these requirements? I would like to not feel the difference if I rebooted my phone yesterday or two weeks ago.

I would recommend you to try SAUROM JVU ROM. It's almost close to stock with huge loads of modifications integrated.
Yes, I would also go for SAUROM if it comes for a close to stock GB ROM. One of the benefits it has over many other Samsung-based ROMs is the integration of JKAY Mod that allows you to customize status bar buttons and power menu. Plus in the newest version it has some handy quick link buttons in the notification drawer.
Thank you guys, I'll take a look at Saurom.
___SAUROM___
I've also tried so many diff ROMs.
All I really wanted is nice working stock ROM.
Tried so many. Did not try SAUROM, cause this is a new one, but tried many SAUROM like. I mean ROMS, that claim that they are just like the stock, but better.
CM was fine, but it was also very complicated. And had some bugs.
Really stupid. I could not sync with google e.g.
Finally I ended up with MIUI. Surprisingly for myself.
Clean, nice, fast, easy swype customization and install.
Here are some screens:
http://db.tt/0gh5gInG
MIUI+Go launcher
It works fast, no lags, no freezes, nothing bad.
GSM works fine, GPS is super fast and accurate, battery is OK.
Finally I don't need to tweak my phone any more.

MIUI & Cyanogen are the real custom ROMS. All the rest are stock-based with tweaks and customization. Saurom is highly customizable compared to the other stock based. But if this doesn't matter to you, you can try Darky's latest ROM from his website. I currently use MIUI Rom, you can try the MINTBerry edition (Which I use ), available on the forum. And I would go for Saurom regarding stock based. Good Luck.

I've had JVH for some time, later JVU, now latest CM7.2 RC0 with CM7 kernel.
Changed to JVO modem (siky_dude has links to many flashable modems) to fix Hello-Hello-Bug. Better than JVK modem.
T9 dialer, better UI translation than JVU even for Norwegian, native keyboard support nor. + swe. + +
Don't flash each nightly (stress battery time?) but check changelog for interesting fixes. Most of the fixes are not even notable in every day use. Flashing new nightly WILL keep ALL settings, market apps, sms, data... Just clear cache/dalvik/prior flashing, fix permission post flashing.
BTW: ALL ROMs have some lag

Try CNA 1.4.0 or AOKP 2.0.2 beta 23.
Both are very stable and have a good battery life. I use AOKP at the moment and am very happy with it. It has even a power save mode that can go into no-data or 2g-only mode when the screen is off (plus many other features like auto-sync schedule).
I'm using AOKP 2.02 beta 23 too and am very satisfied. Stable, smooth, lot of options,... And "BHuvan goyal" actualizes it constantly. One of the bests if not the best...

*sigh* what ROMS did you try? Why do you want to use ICS? What was "slow"? If you want a really really stable ROM, you should consider an official (gingerbread) one.
Otherwise: it depends on your needs and your usage (wifi, data, browsing, music, video, taking photos and / or videos, with what resolution, etc.). Try a few to see what fits best to you - my initial approach would be teamhacksung and ICSSGS.
AOKP ICS Rom 2.02
AOKP ICS Rom 2.02 Beta build 23 is great, I am running it at the moment and it is totally stable. I actually prefer the ICS Kernel from Devil, it has some more functions.

It's really great! No FCs, good batterylife, no RIL issue. For now this seems to be a good ICS ROM available.
As far as i tried, i find ICSSGS (onecosmic) more stable than a stock one. It works faster, it doesnt freezes, battery life is good, and it's beautiful. And its AOSP.

Hi,
I've been using the Team ICSSGS' ICS 4.0.3 RC 4.2 since last few days.
I think this ROM is now as good as a stable ROM
The only issue that has been bugging me is connecting to a 802.1x secured wifi network
Otherwise, it has an awesome interface, everything works... and can be used as a day-to-day ROM now.
i tried almost all ics rom , and i believe the best stable ics rom are CodeNameAndroid 1.3.3 and 1.40 , no lag , no FC , just perfect , work all perfect
After trying CM9, i am running AOKP 2.02 for five days now and it's really a good rom. Only one crash of music apps. Batterylife is better than a stock rom. Lots of options. I love it.
I've been running CodeNameAndroid 1.40 for couple of days now and it works great.
However, it seems Dax might be changing project from that to something else, so I might try something else soon.
I'm a satisfied user of ICSSGS RC4.2 (stock kernel) and this rom i'd like to recommend to You. Of course, it has some issues (a few, really) - like any other ICS port - but it is 100% stable and i use it since it has appeared on xda for download. To be sure and to avoid more problems i suggest to stick with native kernel, which is very good by the way
Wow!! So many people using AOKP. really overwhelmed!! Thank you all.

No wi-fi related problems here (speaking about RC4.2) but there is always something to be fixed - mostly minor issues.. but sometimes annoying. For example, i've experienced once when receiving a call i couldn't use my lockscreen because it freezed for a few seconds - it happened just once and i missed a call then :/ But what can i say - we all have to remember that all of these ICS ports are just beta's or RCs so let's hope there will be fully working ICS rom with no issues at all soon 4.0.4 version has appeared after all so i believe it will fix some of our troubles too

I've tried ICSSGS RC 4.2 and AOKP build 27.
I feel ICSSGS is a bit more stable. There's nothing I've had trouble with on this rom, and nothing I've found not to be working.
AOKP has more features and customizations, but my wi-fi tether won't work on it, and although everything else usually works, I've had a couple of random reboots.
Haven't tried any others, but from what I've read, there aren't a lot of non-working things on any.
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 Dark Knight 2.2 and, for the moment, everythings work (camera, GPS, calls, ...) and no lag or freeze.
Try icssgs 4.2 with semaphore kernel, battery life is great for me (but then I have 3g switched off most of the time, the road I live on is extremely poor for 3g), its very stable, quick and silky smooth.
I'm using ICSSGS 4.2 on Semaphore 9.0 and its really good, fast, stable most the time. Battery life is also quite good.
Allthough the ICS roms look great, for now they cannot match Mintberry.
I am also using ICS 4.0.4 Dark Knight 2.1 and it is great. I was coming from JVU Gingerbread and the Dark Knight is much better. Stable, no lags, smooth, a little bit more battery consuming but it has been like getting a new phone

Just went from ICSSGS (onecosmic) 4.2 to this rom:
ICS333 RC1.1 by Team 3xtr3m3
its an ICS 4.0.4 ROM which works brilliantly. I switched from ICSSGS because they are still stuck on ICS 4.0.3 although I must say that one works just fine too!
its an AOSP rom, meaning that its trying to be as close to how google releases ICS themselfs. They made some enhancements, like a brightness slider in the pulldown menu etc, but they really work well and they dont "over do" it with extras.
Together with the newest Semaphore kernel this works like a charm.

I can really recommend this combination.
Good luck with finding a ROM that works well for you!
Ps. It is kinda hard to define which rom is "best". Different Roms offer different kind of stuff. I like my ROM to be as clean as possible with not to many frills. Other people might want to have buttons for everything . Its just what you personally prefer. I suggest you read the ROM threads in the android dev section. Most of the time you can get a good glimpse about what a certain ROM offers and how stable or buggy it generally is by the first post and the suggestions / replies that are posted by users.
It depends on your use

It depends. For GB, Darky's Rom or CM7. For ICS, Elite/Slim/CM9. Yet again, it depends...
I wan't a rom smooth and stable. You are affirming that android 4.0 is stable, right?
Android 2.3 is very good, I never test android 4.0, which is more smooth and fast?
Thank you!
First, there is always a risk when flushing... Do NAND and EFS before.
As for being stable - AFAIK, from reading and testing, some ICS roms out there are very stable and can be used for daily use. However, you should take in mind that while these ICS roms - as stable as they are - are still new, while GB roms have been outhere for a while.
I think that Slim is very stable. AOKP and CM9 also, yet a little more buggy...

Together with the newest Semaphore kernel this works like a charm.

I can really recommend this combination.
Good luck with finding a ROM that works well for you!
Ps. It is kinda hard to define which rom is "best". Different Roms offer different kind of stuff. I like my ROM to be as clean as possible with not to many frills. Other people might want to have buttons for everything . Its just what you personally prefer. I suggest you read the ROM threads in the android dev section. Most of the time you can get a good glimpse about what a certain ROM offers and how stable or buggy it generally is by the first post and the suggestions / replies that are posted by users.

I agree with what you said, but Team ICSSGS have never stopped working on their rom and I believe they will surprise us with an RC5 by the end of this month. In all cases their RC 4.2 remains among the best available for GS. Coupled with MINCS 143, it works like a charm except for direct access to ext. SD (still accessible through SD/EMMC though).
When I heard that Samsung wasn't developing ICS for the SGS I decided to root mine and flash an ICS rom and for some reason chose the ICSSGS rom. I used that for a few days and was happy. Then I realized they were still on 4.0.3 and then decided to upgrade to CM9 as they are on 4.0.4. It's a matter of personal preference.

Flash slim ics and you won't have any problems at all. Then, if you want, you can try installing whatever kernels that fit for you, if you are not satisfied by the stock one.
Elite V11, Devil kernel. Slim also...
