Best STOCK like rom? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nightly build still updated, real AOSP, less lag than stock, massive possibilities for customizations.
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
(ref. ICSSGS RC4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20420260)

Thanks for all your support.
I'll try MIUI first(http://roms.miui.us/2.2.17/MIUI.us_galaxysmtd_2.2.17_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip), never tried it but heard mutch about it.

Btw. Tried both the f1 and surface (like f1). Managed to **** up each in less than 2 weeks. Darky ROM was easy. Destroyed it in one week
but probably it is my party doing something really wrong.

MIUI Mintberry 2.2.17 Close to perfection. No... definitely not. It is perfect.
I've been using the MIUI mintberry for a few weeks and it's so frickin' amazing. First impression was "oh this is beautiful" then i noticed it was fast. Few days passed and the battery life seemed great. I did some benchmarks and surprised by the results.
I would highly recommend for you to try that one!
Cheers

I'd go for DarkyRom... It worked pretty well for me, bur then I discovered MIUI Roms and they are much better!!

DarkyRom isnt a fully custom Rom. Its a stock samsung edited. There are only 2 custom gb roms. MIUI and Cyanogenmod7 and they run much faster ofcourse. Im a CM fan either way

All gingerbread roms are highly alpha| beta, my advise is to stay away from them, and wait for the official release (couple of days/weeks)

I would agree...I am sure the current Gingerbread based ROMs are great, but they are based on leaked versions of beta ROMs. Unless you really know what you are doing or love the risks of the bleeding edge, I would stay away from them.
All signs are pointing to official Gingerbread firmware for the i9000 hitting Europe in the next two weeks. Once that is freely available, I figure the devs here will have fresh ROMS based on Samsung tested, properly released code out within hours/days...not so long to wait.

I just flashed this rom few days back and it's working like......knife goes on butter...
benefits:
1. It's 2.3.3
2. very smooth UI
3. longer battery life & lots more
Gingerbread launcher is not there but I installed one from market (check the one from Eugene373)....all together it's cool & I did not face any issues yet!!!
Flashed my few days old Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.3 rom. So far, everything work without any problem.
Since there is now stable releases of gingerbread, are there any custom roms for it? i cant find any :/
Are there any kernels for gingerbread also?
You can try ColdMod Rom... its beautiful with TW 4.0 which works nicely with good battery life... i have no complains abt it and im using 2.1 improvent of ColdMod

dont know yet
I switched from Darky RC 5.3 to Juwes 4.2 cause Darky is little bit unstable for now. Juwe seems pretty fast and compatible.
I was using darky rom so far but now i want to try something new (darky is still on 2.3.3 which has the battery bug so i use 9.5).
So what 2.3.4 rom do you recommend? It doesnt have to be "blazing fast" , good battery life will suffice
Thank you.
How about Stock Gingerbread Roms?
Is there any rom stable and without bugs?
I use stock JVQ downloaded from samfirmwares with SpeedMod t23 and the auto brightness fix. All partitions converted to ext4 (/system too).
It is really responsive, no lags at all and I didnt find any bug (except the auto brightness but like I said there is a fix).
I also use tegrak to overclock it to 1.2 Ghz but thats optional, it is already really fast !!

I'll second surface. Seems to be one of the more stable JVR roms out there. Just make sure you follow the flashing instructions to the letter or you'll have problems.
I think the question is - why a custom rom? What do you want in a custom rom? Look through the specs and make your choice. For me, stock JVR, rooted with twlauncher 4.5 from frogger. does everything I want.

about which rom you are talking
Try galaxy sense 0.6.
Experience htc sense on your galaxy. For those of you who think they are stuck with samsungs touchwiz, try this htc sense 2.1 it's infinitely better (in my opinion ).
This rom is work in progress but i have just tried it and is getting very close to my experience on my old htc desire. There are a few bugs as of now but the developer appears to be getting very close to a complete version.
Try it, there will be no going back!!

Tornado ROM JVR (look in my signature to get it)
The first and fastest ODEX based JVR Custom ROM
Contains a addon app so you get to decide what app stays and what goes. (remove and add feature)
Combined with the Tornado kernel it is pretty damm quick and responsive.
Supports ext2 / ext4 / rfs
CWM now converts to ext2 and has the goodies like OC / OV
Hello,
I started a thread like this a couple of days ago and then decided to whack on Galnet MIUI. I gotta tell u, i love this ROM, I don't think I'll ever change from it. The reason why I didn't get it before was that you needed Froyo bootloaders but with the new 'twooey' named ROM, you can just install it like any other gingerbread ROM.
It's really quick, amazingly customisable. The themes are great and all the new features leaves your phone feeling like a brand new thing, you have to explore all the options and settings again.
Before this ROM, I'd tried most gingerbread ROMs and I prefer this by far.
Anyway, hope you find the ROM your looking for

No it's definetely not laggy.
As for the battery, I've seen a lot worse. I mean, It's not great, but you can still get 1 1/2 days out of it with moderate usage. But bare in mind my battery isnt fully calibrated yet, I'm hoping it will go up to 2-3 days after a few charging session.
I would say, make sure you give it a go before making your mind up about it.
Another plus for it is it's based on CyanogenMod which means it's constantly in development whereas Samsung based ROMs more or less have to wait for Samsung to release new beta roms to continue development in the same way.

Downgrading from JVR to JVQ

Hello Mods n Modders,
This is my 1st post and thanks to Admin for launching this website...
My SGS i9000 is currently on stock v2.3.4 JVR (rooted by flashing 'semaphore' kernel) and now I want to downgrade the current JVR to JVQ, in other words, I want to flash Darky's v2.2.2 ROM(w/o touchwiz), which is more stable I guess
So, is it possible to downgrade from JVR to JVQ without bricking my new Galaxy S??
Also answer.. is Darky's latest JVQ really stable than stock JVR (in terms of battery, speed and least buggs)??
Please help...
p.s: I can't post this question in Developer's section due to very less quantity of post
Yes u can downgrade by flashing JVQ from odin and download firmware from www.samfirmware.com
Sent From Galaxy S....using XDA App.
Creator Of Doctorz Rom.
I can't say that Darky's ROM is more stable, but it is faster, and obviously provides more functionality than the stock ROM.
If you're really set on speed, try Faryaab's F1 SGS2 ROM v6.
This is by far the fastest ROM I've tested, with all the stableness of most.
I've even tested the v7 released this week, but it is not nearly as fast, so I agree with the downgrading option because I've done the same.
I've tested 3 ROMs on JVS, and 3 on JVR, but this JVQ one is still my favourite.
Also note, that you can always flash the system apps you liked from the JVR version you were using previously, there should be some system apps around on here...I've flashed MMS, Camera, Email, and Phone from other ROMs I've liked.

hi ph03i!x_SA
I need a ROM to be very close to stock 2.4.3, - rooted, fast but not overclocked, and most important is the battery efficiency. Till now I have never been on Modded ROM.

I think you mean 2.3.4?
You can still get the stock ROM, I think from samfirmware.com. Then, again, you can still flash custom apps, but you have to root the stock ROM.
Anything is possible, as long as someone has either released an app you like, or a version of the ROM you like.
I never thought I'd get so involved with this custom ROM stuff, I also like the stock firmware, but after I rooted, and the lag of updates from Samsung officially, the need arose. But the F1 ROM looks like the a cross between stock ROMs of SGS and SGS2, so it's still clean. None of that messy battery icons, custom notifications bar, etc. I don't like those.
Enjoy
Be careful, changing ROMs becomes addictive.

What's the most stable ROM at moment?

I been on simply honey gingerbread since August, but after a few Weeks it starts to give force closes, becomes slow and battery calibration every 2/3 days. After every few Weeks when this happens I just reflash the ROM and it works well again until the cycle starts again.
anyway i'm fed up of doing that now, not much of a flasher either anymore like I was when darky and doc were around. So I just want a long time stable ROM, but there's so many I've from never heard of. So need help from you guys please.
P.s ROM developers, please start collaborating with each other to create quality ROMs rather than go for quantity of mediocre ROMs.

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.

Just recently bought the Galaxy S, looking for some ROM recommendations...

Hello, I recently bought myself a new Galaxy S i9000 for mostly multi-media purposes. I was looking for a smartphone that would suit my audiophilia needs and after lots of googling I found out that this is just the phone for that, so I bit the bullet and bought an unlocked one
Came in the mail today and I need your help with this! I've had androids before so I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem, however since I joined the galaxy S bandwagon quite late, I'm REALLY behind on Roms and such.
Obviously, since I bought such an old device, I had my reasons; which are music. I'm gonna root this soon and I wanna install a rom with these sort of features.
I need a rom thats:
-Smooth as it can be
-Has the Voodoo Sound Kernal (according to everybody, that's how one unleashes the full potential of the sound)
-....won't get rid of my unlock
I don't care for customization, games, social media, etc. I just want a rom that's smooth, responsive, and has voodoo so I can enjoy my music on the go
Thanks!
If you want to go for custom ROMs then CM 10 all the way, its nighty so is still has bugs. But is good enough for daily usage. And damn is smooth I will never go back to GB or anything else...
You can try also CM 9, there is a stable version. Look for it in the development section.
This phone once unlocked, will never lock again!! unless you want to

I've seen youtube videos (the very few there are) of single core phones that can only handle CM10 somewhat OK....they are somewhat smooth, but unresponsive when it comes to opening apps and menus (lots of loading and stuff). So is CM10 for this phone fast as well as smooth?

Hello, I recently bought myself a new Galaxy S i9000 for mostly multi-media purposes. I was looking for a smartphone that would suit my audiophilia needs and after lots of googling I found out that this is just the phone for that, so I bit the bullet and bought an unlocked one
Came in the mail today and I need your help with this! I've had androids before so I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem, however since I joined the galaxy S bandwagon quite late, I'm REALLY behind on Roms and such.
Obviously, since I bought such an old device, I had my reasons; which are music. I'm gonna root this soon and I wanna install a rom with these sort of features.
I need a rom thats:
-Smooth as it can be
-Has the Voodoo Sound Kernal (according to everybody, that's how one unleashes the full potential of the sound)
-....won't get rid of my unlock
I don't care for customization, games, social media, etc. I just want a rom that's smooth, responsive, and has voodoo so I can enjoy my music on the go
Thanks!

JB Custom Rom C-RoM Mix or C-RoM BeaN are highly recommended. You won't get disappointed with these Roms.
I've tried several Custom Roms, but i found C-RoMs to be the best, very fast, smooth, responsive, and stable.
This JB Custom C-RoM was benchmarked by Ratborg to be the fastest JB Custom Rom.
The kernel (Semaphore) supports Voodoo Sound.

Wow this is great, thanks alot friend!
Umm, but could you help me out I've flashed ROMS before but I've never flashed a kernel ever. How do I safely and efficiently do that? I just rooted my device and am now running stock 2.2 . How do I go on about flashing the kernal and the Rom? This looks amazing!

The Rom contains the Kernel already, so unless you want to change or upgrade the built-in Kernel that's the time you have to flash it.
Flashing of Rom or Kernel usually can be made through CWM by going into Recovery Mode.
If you're coming from Gingerbread, the safest procedure is to flash an ICS CM9 first before this recommended C-RoM (which is based on CM10 and AOKP), this is to avoid getting your IMEI invalid.
During flashing of a Rom, you will have to re-flash twice or sometimes 3x before getting successful due to Android system and Partition Layout differences.
Don't forget to backup your important database and applications via Titanium Backup or GoBackup so you can restore them back after successfully flashing the new Rom.
Good luck and enjoy flashing.
Try this configuration, i have it my self... it runs really well, is not unresponssive at all, maybe some hiccups but overall is good.

Alright so this ROM contains the "sephamore" kernal with voodoo sound itself? Cool! Um, so I first flash a CM9 ROM, and then from there flash this?

Yes the Rom contains Semaphore kernel and yes you have to flash CM9 first and from there flash C-RoM.
Semaphore kernel supports vodoo sound but i think you have to install an application that produces the voodoo sound itself. I'm not sure but you have to further research on this.
