Hi there,
Which of the STOCK Samsung I9000 rom do you think is the best, and why?
Stability, Battery usage, over all experience regarding the quality in the rom.
xwjsd froyo rom. Old but much less bugs than the recent gb roms. To be honest I flashed back to it and I am sticking to it unless samsung comes out with a gb release without the stupid.nasty bugs they are plagued with.

JW1 is probably the best. Because it feels smoother/faster in general usage compared to previous roms. And no real issues what I know of.
xxJVU is also good but im having some small problems with the modem.. sometimes It doesnt switch between 3g/h/edge when it should. Ill probably flash JVT modem to solve this.
ZSJPK or any other froyo 2.2.1 that was released after March 2011.

With froyo being out I'm tempted to flash my JM8 device to the new froyo... However I'm wondering if froyo is actually faster, more stable and has an improved GPS.
Should I flash to JM9 or to froyo?
Other than that, which lag fixes should I use and tweakers?
there's so many roms out that I've lost overview and don't really know what's the best and most stable.
Please post questions in the Q&A forum.
well I'm using doc v7 rom with no rfs advanced ext4 lagfix. I m having litraly no lag... Evrythin's working super smooth. I'm using adw instead of touchwiz

I'm not just talking about fast, but also wonder which one works best in terms of features such as GPS
Only way to know for sure is to test it yourself, I find JPM to be ok but I'm also using one of them optimized 341meg roms as stock froyo only lets you see a max of 300megs. Also there seems to be a few more stupid startup processes running which you can turn off with startup manager (from market). The thing is that its this new kernel i'm using that gives all the speed.
i found JPA is faster than JPO. I have tested on 2 diffrent phone.
JM9 is probably the best Eclair ROM. And with FroYo just being officially released the latest ROM is JPO.
It's really up to you what to do at the end of the day.
I am a bell i9000m user I guess I should say that (I'm using the 850 band i.e. JL2 modem with Froyo)
I am looking for what is generally considered the best / fastest Gingerbread ROM.
Is it CM ? I heard Juwe's rom is good too. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Is Darky making one ?
Cheers everyone
does Darky have a gingerbread ROM ?
i think darky has / is making a GB ROM, all it takes is for you to look in the development section to see what ROMs are out there.
official GB is out now, JVA / B / K all gingerbread.
if you want a custom version, you will have to do some searching, as it really depends on what you want, Im using MIUI, its GB based with excellent Features.
CM7 is smooth and super quick and is also GB but still has bugs.
so depending on what u want, just have a quick search and read the OP !!
Try my ROM, is based on official Gingerbread JVB and it has got a lot of mods and fixes...
A lot of users are happy with it! XD
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.1 JVB ROM
Go for Simply Honey - the best I tried so far.
Best ROM threads are incredibly stupid and pointless. Try them yourself and see. It's all a matter of personal opinion.
IMO any ROM based off of a given Samsung firmware is going to perform nearly the same, the chefs just do a variety of small changes/optimizations/modifications, they can't really alter what Samsung has provided.
Kernels make a bigger difference than ROMs by far because we can actually modify the source code.. If you don't want to have to decide just flash stock ROM and then flash a custom kernel. I like Hardcore's but he doesn't have a Gingerbread version yet.
I'm on juwe rom and its really nice. I've also heard that simply honey if really good as well.
I'm also bell

ONE VOTE for Juwe long life battery more than 24h with normal user love it
Have been on Darky V10 RC3 for a few weeks and it works great. No bugs, good speed, no lags, etc. Yesterday I flashed Juwe's ROM and so far I'm impressed ... Seems smoother than Darky's ROM ...
SGS I9000
Goatrip 1.7 was the most stable rom I'm currently running.
Power saving, cool UI, mostly important, stable, you know.
I tried CM7, it was quick and beautiful, but many FC
I tried all of them. Crickelo, juwe, andromedia, goatrip, darky.
Now i ues criskelo 35. Not much difference between them. Just themes are different.
And another opinion: DOC's rom. The last Beta (v2.1) is running great.
Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.
Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?
Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.
As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.
I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.
What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?
I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.
Roms i have tried are:
Juwe
Darky
Simply Honey
Galnet
Stock (obviously)
and now EXTRAordinary
I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.
How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?
I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.
Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.
Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.
Haven't tried darky's.
blockbuster 2.4.5
Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).
I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.

i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.
Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..

Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:
GINGERREAL latest
MIUI 2.3.4
Extraordinary 3.2
Juwe 5.0, 5.1
Blockbuster latest
Simply honey latesr
Cm7
Darky 10.1
So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.
At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.
The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.
Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.
Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Ive tried lots of them,have to say that EDB 1.3 with galaxian kernel is good all around.Very good battery life.
Forget all that is cm,darky etc..
How did you go about installing the ROM with galaxien kernel?, because EDB 1.3 Darky 2.8 Kernel
I tried edb and far estraordinary rom with galixien kernel is the fastest.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
lets just say that im not that fond of darky thingys.
I have tried Tiramisu Evo 6.5 Juwe's Smart Edition 5.2 and EXTRAordinary JVQ 2.3.4
Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....
Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.
Darky rom (JVP or JVQ) with dark core kernel is fastest
Try GingerCriskeloV77 mate, I hopped from one ROM to another and stopped at this one. This is based on semaphore kernal. Had bluetooth issue but resolved with new semaphore kernal 1.3.2 Cheers
Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.
Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...
really hard to find the "old" Froyo ROMs nowadays everything is full of Gingerbread.
Due to battery drain when using 3G/HSDPA in any GB ROM i am thinking of going to 2.2.1
Which custom ROM do you recommend as the most stable?
Anything better than JS8 based ROMs? The latest 2.2.1 is JSD which as stock is rock solid and fast, but i can't seem to find a custom based on it
Thanks!
Simply use an deodexed JSD or JS8 ROM (stock). Tgen you search for a theme... bam.. you have a custom rom

There is an insanity froyo rom
Insanity cm035/platypus neo9 redux 5
thx for replies!
went back last night to Darky 9.5 extreme (JS8) and it's miles better than any 2.3.x out there....
Doesn't have the 2.3.x "looks and bling" but does the job(s) i need perfectly:
- good battery in idle / 3G data
- 720p recording flawless
i was thinking to make a custom JSD myself...but man...if i only had the time...
Some of them are facing battery issues with gingerbread ROM, but for me I'm happy with Darky's v10.2RE. I'm getting around 2 days battery backup with more than 3 hr screen display. Before flashing i used to charge my phone 100%,because I read somewhere that we can avoid the battery calibration. I tried different custom ROMs but I'm happy with Darky v10.2RE. If you really want to go to 2.2.1 Darkys custom rom is available.
so im currently using stock JVR with semaphore kernel and the battery life is good as well as the rom is pretty stable, but im feeling tempted to try JVS
is it really worth it, any noticeable improvemente on the rom or something
i dont really want to backup my entire phone again if its not worth it
cheers
Definitely not worth it. I tried it and some 2.3.5 custom roms and there is no speed improvement or anything but there are issues with the wifi. If you have everything set up on JVR you should stick with it. I was on 2.3.5 and reverted back to JVR, which IMO is better and the most stable of the last few releases
I think JVS is the best of the GB release for our SGS. One problem is, that there some of the kernel devs, that made stable solutions moved on to other devices, so choice is rather small. In case of JVS it's merely DarkCore or Voodoo.
TW is much better in performance terms compared to JVR and earlier. I don't know if it is worth it, That's you r choice. I tried every new version and found some improvement in every single upgrade step (some steps backwards were also included, but one step back and two ahead is still an improvement).
well, there are stable JVS kernel releases but the issues with the wifi won't be fixed properly until another release or Samsung release the source code of 2.3.5. Ficeto who develops darkcore confirmed that and Damian who develops the tornado kernel also said that. For now I would stick to JVR but if you wish you can try JVS - I reccommend the Tornado JVS kernel.
Thanks for the info for now ill stick with jvr

I'm currently using JVS with darkyrom 10.3 with the JVS base which is in beta at the moment & kernel's Darkcore v4.0. Everything seems to be fine...except the battery drain is crazy! Don't know if it is the ROM itself because the 10.3 JVS base is still in beta. I was on JVQ before with Darky's 10.2.2 and battery life was not too bad.
