Hi everybody, after a lot of months i've been using modded roms i decided to come back to a samsung one.
I've always experienced every kind of problem with modded rom, so now i' looking for the most stable possible rom, with less FC possible and good battery duration.
Can you please help me?
Really really thank you

Try Blockbuster 5.0 with last galaxian kernel. No fc, best colours i ever have, brilliant battery life and super smooth and fast

Tornado: kernel allows you to completely cleanse your system, then load Tornado rom and you have fast, sleek and stable. No issues.
It seems the last two posters misunderstood the question. I think he's asking about Samsung stock ROMs, not custom ROMs.
In which case, from my personal experience, JS8 is the best Samsung ROM I've used, as I had no issues or bugs with it, and it was pretty quick without a lagfix. For Gingerbread, JVQ/JVR are the latest, and probably the best, but do have niggles. Arguably though, they're slightly better performers than JS8. So if you want reliable, go with a very late Froyo ROM, but if you want the best performance, just go with the latest Gingerbread.

That's exactly what i mean.
In my experience only samsung stock roms hadn't this kind of problems, maybe just a little lag, but i they are so sure, maybe i'll try those 2 roms
I am very happy with the ROM Amestris [XXJVR], fast and more importantly stable.
From the graphical point of view is very impressive (nice icons) without changing too much stock rom
Hi,
I'm sure there are a few threads about this subject in general(!) but I'll create this anyway!
Im currently on ICS Slim 3.7 (or 3.6? Whatever) + Semaphore. I am pretty happy especially because it is one of my first custom roms without any rnd reboots or stuff like that. But idk .. i'm not sure it fits my likings 100%.
I just want a smooth Rom without any lags when I use apps like: Facebook, Email, Reddit, Browser, News App .. that is pretty much all I need.
Would a GB Rom be the better choise? I used Darky before and was pretty happy (especially about the design) except for some random reboots .. what GB Rom would you suggest if you would?
Thanks, rest0ck
Did u try ics333? It seems stable. I also felt the need to go back to GB, but after I flashed that ROM that feeling disappeared

I can confirm this, ICS333 is quite amazing, very stable and very good battery life however, Facebook sync does not work, which is a Facebook-related problem and (afaik) apparent in every ICS ROM. But the App itself works fine so, if you do not need FB sync, you should definitely try this one!
[Edit:] If you want to stay with GB, perhaps Stock Roms would suffice, especially regarding stability... I'd suggest JVT with midnight or semaphore kernel (the JVT specific ones, of course) or the newest JW5 with semaphore kernel

I did try it but ..well .. not even a minute. I was sure not to lose everything (I flashed from ICS without any wipes) but I did. So I tried to install ICS Slim again, hoping to get my apps etc back. I didn't :<
Only thing I really noticed: Notification toggle bar looks like cm9 - my experience with that were horrible. While on Slim my notification toggle bar looks perfect (only text, simple, ..I like that).

"Stay" with gb is wrong in this case
Thought about a stock Rom too but hm .. well.. they look a lil bit bad. Darky Rom looks so good imo - black with green highlights and good looking icons etc. Perfect imo! I can't install a skin on a stock rom can I?
btw I don't need fb sync
Im thankful for any further response.

Now a lot of people will say ICS is great for them, and i was very keen to grab ICS on my phone at one point. However careful consideration has made me decide otherwise, for the time being anyway.
GB roms, especially ones which are latest builds featuring tweaks and other such performance improvements, tend to perform better in real world use than ICS roms. Perhaps it is due to all SGS ICS roms being ports. Perhaps its a technical thing. I don't know but what i do know is that GB can have better battery life, smoother performance and the ability to play any game with oomph if need be and run any app like a charm.
And there are still functionality bugs i hear of in ICS that i dont have to worry about in GB, and a fix is probably coming, but the bugs arent there on ICS.
Now im not saying ICS can't do this, hey perhaps some roms for some people can do that, but the few benefits ICS brings dont really entice me enough when i have a fast and stable rom on GB.
If you are looking for a fast stable GB rom, I'd suggest Gamerzrom, the dev works wonders and my battery life is great and i can run pretty much any app with aplomb. And with his insane amount of free ram, i have no worries with the few RAM-persistent apps i choose to run

Yes, you can! especially on JVT, there are many "skins", for instance one which makes it look like DarkyRom which itself looks like simple AOSP Gingerbread... do not have a link right now, just search for "JVT AOSP theme" or something like that, I found one once... You might also try UOT kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/)... here you can "cook" your own theme
But DarkyRom is in my opinion still a good choice... I would suggest 10.2.2, it is rocksolid
[Edit:] Anyway, you should _always_ perform a full wipe (wipe/cache/dalvik)... If you do not, you may encounter problems
Heard a lot about Gamerz Rom - maybe I'll try it if I find a nice theme (used theme is pretty ugly imo). Darky 10.2.2 is good? What about the newest version 10.4.2?
Elite 1.2 is a very good ics rom worth checking out. Very fast and good battery life!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I would recommend Dmore's 3.3 too. Good battery back up, no bugs and more importantly; essential ICS features are becoming available as add-ons to GB anyway. S voice, SGS3's Touch Wiz, Ringtone, Wallpaper and others.
Well I tried DarkyRom 10.4.2 cause I already had it on my hdd. And I have to say that I don't really like it. Is this charge-to-100%-bug still exisiting in newer GB Versions? I hate it .. and why can't I download all my apps? I had to download mysms through a browser (the .apk file) cause I wasn't able to install it in the play store?
And which Music Player can I choose to not turn on my display to change a song? (holding Volume Buttons in ICS does the trick). Now im missing ICS ^^ .. except for the look.
I have used Galaxy SL and am using Galaxy Note.
Many people were and are complaining about Stock Roms, either ICS or GB for both of the phones I use.
They say that Camera has a pink problem, GPS does not lock quickly, Video recording is not good, it is laggy, etc etc.
But same people are dying for CM Roms which have lots of bugs. Even CM 7.2 has wifi and video recording bugs for i9003.
Even stock Roms do not have those problems, and many latest stock roms are really good, people are not happy with them.
I do not see any reason to mention about Note stock Roms, especially ICS kernels and roms. They are very very stable without any bugs.
However, many people bricked their phones while they are trying to flash CM10 to their Notes.
OK. I accept that one year old stock roms were not good as much as they should be. But this is not the case anymore.
But still many people are ready to die for CM even if it has many bugs. They complain for stock but lose themselves for CM
Now, could someone please explain me what makes CM Roms that better? And even if they have lots of bugs people are using them as daily driver?
Regards
Maybe just for fun

CM(At least CM9) is really quite stable on the note, I have never had any problems with it.
I personaly use it as my daily drive for a few reasons:
I find it gives better battery life
I Love the stock ICS look over samsungs touchwiz
CM9 uses much less RAM giving more ram for apps, giving better multitasking and also much more RAM for running a linux GUI
I have used CM roms since my HTC magic CyanogenMod 4 FTW! (infact I might have been running early than that but I really dont remember)
personally ive used CM builds but never felt like ive wanted to use them as my daily drivers because they just lack too many built in features of the stock rom
im not the type of person to get a stripped down rom and download 1000 apps to make it how i want it
id rather use the stock rom, only download 10 apps and have everything there
Mainly it uses a safe kernel which is emmc cap erase command disabled which prevents from our device from bricking.
In CM(/AOSP/AOKP most of the logging/Samsung crap applications were removed so that your phone runs fast. Its just about 140-160 MB. You can feel the difference in size. lol
Its very stable compared to other roms.
You will see a lot of features put it up in rom.
Etc Etc

I was using aosp in my smaller phones. Galaxy s2 for example because i can mod them like changong dpi and so on, and the stock rpms for gs2 were so bad, but with my new note i think the stock roms are more stable and battery friendly than aosp, also yhe kernel development for aosp isn't so great as fow TW Roms, and this my 1st reason to use stock, you know i was flashing 2-3 kernels/day in my s2
BTW: You can remove all crap in the stock rom to have agood rolunning rom.

I think in the same way also.
CM lacks lots of stuff from Samsung craps. That's OK. butn it also lack lots of thing I daily use.
Besides I tried ADW Launcher. It really sucks. Nova is far more better and smoother.
Also some people claim that it drains less battery and it is fast. It is obvious that they did not use Notecore v9 with TW
I thas been 1 day and I still have %70 battery. And can't tell how awesome it is. Just check the thread...
As for ram, my phone uses ram between 500-600 mb. There are still 200 mb rams. Which is fine and enough for me.
Also it is really easy to remove some crappy stuff from samsung when you are rooted. (to be rooted takes only three minutes or maybe less )
It is OK some people like it and use it. I am of course fine with that.
But what I mean is CM is not superior to stock or TW based Roms, at least not anymore...
Regards.
But I cannot understand why people like stcok roms with some modification
its all personal preference.
like spen/ intevration of pen and samsung apps use stock
like rom to be close to android original source and above mentioned advantages use cm9/aoskp. you wont have full spen and other samsung apps.
whichever you like

Then the answer is that people prefer it because of their preferences
error post
No matter what rom i try, i always end up going back to CM.
The main reason i'm on CM is for the speed and the features.
Error post
CM = AOSP. AOSP = Android how it was designed and intended to be.
For me, User Interface is the most important factor in choosing the OS. Android was far behind iOS and WP7. It changed since ICS and now JB made it even better than iOS. Pure awesomeness of WP7 interface is a whole other story, not commenting on the OS itself - its UI is simply amazing. Back to UI preferences...It has to be responsive, fast and well designed ( that means visually attractive and coherent ). For example, TouchWiz is terrible for me, it makes my phone look like cheap chinese rip-off. I'm sorry, that's just my opinion, i don't want to offend anyone. The only overlay i like is Sony's TimeScape, although i still prefer AOSP. Why ? Simply because it's better designed, coherent and smoother - so it makes my user experience a lot more satisfying.
For the Note, best ROM is still Paranoid Rom for me. Firstly because of the safe kernel and secondly I can easily overclock and under volt it without much hassles.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well it all depends...when I had the captivate Cm9 was by far the best experience. So I came to the note with the same expectations but sadly cm9 and the likes are still not on par with Samsung ROMs in speed or features.
I still flash newer versions as I expect them to be better at some point but at this time..still not there. I use CleanNote Rom.

Hi everyone i've just got myself HOX but my girlfrend still has SGS over 3yrs now .My question is which rom has no lags and is good enough for daily use.I flashed for her C-rom and it's laggy as hell.
I tried couple others rom all of them are jelly beans i don't remember names of roms but most of them are laggy i repeat laggy that i can't do basic things.
So maybe jelly bean is to heavy what i mean by that is You know just a single core ,512mb of rams maybe that's not enough ,i don't know i'm not a dev i just wish to have a decent rom without lags.
Could someone suggest which rom has no lags 'cuz i'm a little bit tired of searching for it.
I don't need JB might be ICS but i wish to have a normal working phone without lags .
U hope that someone can point something for me ,anyways thanx in advance and have a good one bye bye.
First of all, I hope you're not comparing performance to your hox...
That said, there will be certain microlags, and opening certain apps might take a second, no matter which rom you choose. CM10 roms are among the most stable jb roms, there's loads of variations and re-themes of it here. No offense to anyone, but a huge amount of jb roms here are re compiled CM10 or Aokp with themes and bloatware. Aokp ics roms are the equivalent regarding ics, in my opinion.
My tip would be first to find out if gb, ics or jb is best for your girlfriend, read up on it. Which features does she need, what ui does she prefer?
Then start fresh, find some of the guides here in xda, flash gb in Odin and repartition and start from there to flash your rom of choice.
Sent from horseback.
I found cm10 to be laggy (fresh install with only nova launcher and a few google apps). CM9 is not laggy at all for me.
I'd suggest sticking to ics if performance is your main concern.

I know this might not the right place to say this, but why is everyone so keen on (unofficial) firmware and then expecting wonders? No one needs Android 4.0.x or 4.1.x on an SGS right now.
If you just want a stable, fast and almost lag-free running SGS then you should install one of the better 2.3.6 StockROMs (JVU or JW4(a little less stable but more memory)), add an optimized kernel like semaphore (stock color, not big mem version) and maybe even change the filesystem to ext4.
At least for now forget the 4.x hype, be a man, have balls and laugh at others thinking you being "uncool".
A SGS configured this way without garbage apps could run precisely like a swiss watch.

Hi
i tested gb 2.3.6 jw1 (is the best gb rom), ics cm9 and jb mackay rom. In my opinion jb is the best rom.
In GB all runs slowly, but stabil. It looks lame and old. but some people like it. I hated the performance with wlan and internet. Slower then this isnt possible. Any ICS and JB Rom is faster in this point.
CM9 runs very nice, but some games need hours to start, dont know why. I think some internet validation things needs to long. Ok after some hours my phones needed a restart, but this takes only about 3 min, then you can go on.
Mackay is super smooth, some games work even better then with cm9. Only Wlan is in this weak. But the rest is awesome. So i prefer to JB!
On all roms i had about 200 apps installed mostly games and used link2sd with a partition on my external sd. So it was always slower then a pure rom.

That's exactly the difference. I also have about 150 apps installed - but almost _no_ games, furthermore nothing moved to SD! And with XXJVU - IMHO the most stable so far - I was not counting in hours but had no restart / FC in 2-3 months.
Everybody has to make his/her own decision - my SGS is no gameboy for me, I use it for daily life and it has to run smoothly and without problems. If your phone hangs unnoticed and you couldn't get an important call then it's a lame excuse that the phone could have been rebootet within a minute when in fact it's dead until noticed by pure luck.
I'm therefore even tempted to move from actual SauROM JW8 back to JW4 or my beloved JVU ... but of course stability is not only a matter of the OS but - as Android unfortunately isn't able to catch all faults / errors - of app updates as well.
Yeah You right about GB , i remember like maybe year or two ago when "darkyrom" crue uploaded their gb roms every single day and SGS was so fast.
Now all JB roms are lagy for me and i'm going to flash old good Ginger Bread and i want to see a difference.
If there is any difference.
Anyway thanx a lot for answers i've learned something and good night every1.
I'm running cm9 with devil kernal. Its awesome.
The only reason why I don't use gb now is because and this is lame but with cm9 I can video record with my front camera....which my daughter loves....well we both do lol.

I give vote for GB too. I tried lots of ICS and JB roms, and all happen to have some bugs, not very important bugs, but some that annoys me. I always used them for few days at most then got back on GB.
At the moment I am on JW4 GB, with Semaphore 2.7.4, and all seems to work nice, Well of course there is lag here and there, but i am on smartass gouverner and i didnt overclock CPU, its on stock 1GHz. So maybe with performance gouverner and overclocked CPU, it wouldnt have lags at all.
Also I really love GB because of stock camera app, stock music player, and sliding thing for calling and messaging. If you need some more information, be free to ask
It will still lag if you OC and choose any other governer....even with lagfix (ext4) conversion.
Not that bad tho.
I just flashed back to gb jw4 with semaphore 2.7.4.....to play with it again.
Anyone know if you can use the filesystem of cm9 on gb? May be a stupid question but its just a thought.

Even i can't believe this but ... Yes GB looks better in my opinion...
You know some people ask which is the best rom in Q section and everyone's answer is the same,"it depends how you're using)
GB is my style from now on...
In ics/JB there is something is missing that i really dont know what"s that....

just install SLIMBEAN from XDA its awesome... I'm using this from last 2 months and really no problem at all.. its smooth fast and stable..
and once you get use to it you will never go back to any other rom even your stock..because apps open very quickly and its to compact also only 70 mb... and one more thing battery life is almost same..as stock ROM
I am on the latest CM10 nightly with the JB semaphore kernel, no overclock, bigmem enabled, and I have honestly found it to be the best most responsive ROM I have used on the phone to date.
Previous to that I was using the stable release of CM9 with semaphore, and while it wasn't perfect in terms of lag, it was rock solid stable and reliable. I would use this for your girlfriend if I was you (as I am assuming she isn't as tech savvy as yourself, so best to stay away from nightlies). I'm sure she won't even notice a little bit of lag. And the usability of ICS compared to GB is, in my opinion, dramatically better. Just uninstall all the development apps before giving it to her.
All roms can be a second slower than some, that's just expected. I recommend just getting her something up to date and clock it up to 1104 Mega Hurts if the screen doesn't freeze on it if you do.

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.

I find it easiest of custom Samsung
sauron or stock

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
