I forgot what custom ROM I'm on right now but it gives me some problems so I'm gonna use Heimdall One-Click -Total Stock and then flash something but I want a really nice one this time. Any suggestions? Also, could you link me to the thread with instructions and everything. Thanks
All I can say is every ROM has its benefits. It all depends on what your looking for and how you use your phone. Your best option is to check the development section and do some reading and research to see witch one will suit your needs. There are plenty of excellent devs with great ROM's. I will however recommend anything by The Collective who has top notch devs themers and support, with a native I897 ROM an I9000 ROM and an ICS ROM.

ICS= Ice cream sandwich which is the latest Android flavor. By far their most polished and integrated firmware in my opinion. All of the roms running it are still beta but they are pretty stable already.
I for one vote for teamhacksungs ICS. The current version is build 16. Very stable, fast and pretty. I've never had great battery life but it is above average for me on this ROM. Oh, and the GPS actually works.
Try an ICS build, if you don't like it, roll back to one of the gingerbread builds, there are plenty to choose from.

Yeah I see a bunch of people seem to like that specific ROM. How would you recommend I do this? I don't recall what ROM I'm on now, I just know that it's 2.3. Should I use that Heimdall One-Click -Total Stock first?

Thebest ROM is the one that you find works well for you. No one can give you the 'best ROM'. Flash a few and decide for yourself.

You can not say "this is the best". Everyone want to have something diffenrent. For some people the look is the most important thing, for others the smoothness and the Quadrant Score.
Quadrant Score say nothing about the quality i think... but you can get about 3500 easy with oc and the right ROM.
I guess I'm more after peoples opinions on their favorite rom since I'm new to flashing rom's. I would like to try a few out before settling on one. But I'm not sure which are worth trying out

Hehe, this is so true indeed ;-)
Cyanogen is indeed a great experience, even Cyanogen Mod 7 which is stable but not yet ICS. Cyanogen is like MIUI an UFO in the roms, because both of them add incredible features to the rom. Other "standard" roms are less spectacular, but it is my opinion of course.
I liked the roms which themed my GS1 as GS2 (I don't remember the name) and it was so well done that my children believed I bought a GS2 :-D but they were a bit laggy
The rom SURFACE is a very good one, stable and fast. A good choice to check another rom than CM or MIUI.
GingerReal2 is great if you want to go back to the original GingerBread, but with all the benefits of the custom roms (speed, stability, root access, BLN, ...), so no special eye candy, but a very good rom to taste back the original Gingerbread
For Gingerbread I used to have Darky's with Semaphore Kernel. Excellent combination.
Now I test the OneCosmic ICS 4.0 ROM. Very happy for now considering it is a RC1 ROM yet
For me Cyanofortomorrow v1.2(came from cm7#176 kang) and mintberry miui! As kernel glitch v13, platypus neo 18 or fugumod.

Dude, fyi, this is the Captivate forum, not SGS2. That is an SGS2 ROM and kernel if my search results aren't mistaken.
To the op, if you like CM7 a lot, then the clear choice for ICS will be CM9. Everything you love about CM7 (eventually) but with ICS. I don't know how anything would overload the hardware.

What I mean by overloading the hardware is the sluggish response you sometime experience when the software is trying to do too much and it takes seconds to accomplish what you want.
How is the AOKP based ROM performing with the Captivate ? I like the app quick access from the Lock Screen.

No matter where you go, you will always experience some lag. Upgrading to ICS doesn't mean your phone is magically going to grow a second core and double the RAM. But generally aosp does a good job of avoiding a lot of it.
I personally don't prefer AOKP, but it has a strong team and a wide following and you will probably enjoy it, and I'm sure it performs great. Most ICS ROMs nowadays will include the lockscreen shortcuts though.

CM9 is sluggish as hell so I wouldn't recommend that either. However I don't really understand your font issue with Slim ICS. It does only have 5 system languages but you can install additional fonts to display languages via the "Updater" app included.
In your case as you've eliminated Slim ICS, I guess ICS333 (Team 3xtr3m3) is probably the best one out there. AOSP based with toggles from AOKP and offers a good balance between performance and battery life, with no bugs I can really tell.
Team-Nyx (RC5) yet the most stable rom for me on ics and its pure AOSP

Actually I find cm9 to be the fastest. I've gotten the highest benchmarks compared to slim ics, aokp, etc. Plus I have a bit more trust on cyanogenmod than aokp. Team nyx is pure ics stock but its really slow. Cm9 all the way for me always.

Hi !
Unfortunately, though ICS is extremely good the Custom ICS has it's quirks !
This is because they are developed without source codes from Samsung and no matter how good they are, at a certain point they show their lack of support which they never received from the manufacturer in the first place and therefore after a few days ( or if lucky, weeks) things don't work properly and needs reboots frequently.
Having ICS is like having a short love affair.
Use Gingerbread or change phones.
Sad fact, but true.
Look at the custom ICS camera and look at the original ICS camera. Do you think that we are going to get all the goodies in the SGS ?
Similarly, there are many great features of ICS which the developers cannot give us.
Time to move on.
Take care.

Hi.
Can you please stop posting these opinions as facts, when the "problems" can easily be fixed. This is a development forum, at least it used to be, and you cannot expect everything to work right out of the box like official stock firmware (even though it does most of the time). It's not like you've been scammed by a car salesman selling you a car without an engine.
No offense intended, but please stop it.

Everybody has his own taste, some people like AOSP, some people like AOKP, some people like CM9 while some people like slim ROM regardless with few bugs ... also there are people here in this forum (like you) who install ROMs incorrectly n find it **** (yes i am pointing to Team Nyx's ROM). When you have tried some of the ROMs, why don't you try all of the ROMs?
p.s. Team Nyx's AOSP is the only ICS ROM I found stable and less battery consuming after slim, this is only my point of view.

All ICS roms have bugs. Look in Dev thread for CM9 or AOKP.
Spend at least 4 hours reading how to prepare and install, 2 hours reading what to do when unexpected things happen during/after flash, and 1 hour being sorry wasting your and others time on such impossible question usually followed by biased opinions.

In terms of which ROM is best, unfortunately there is no answer.
Each rom is different (obviously) so people prefer different roms that fit their different needs.
I'd personally recommend something like SlimICS, TiramiSLIM, or DarkyROM Black Edition.
Slim ICS is a cut down version, no extravagant features.
TiramiSLIM has an easy installation process (if already rooted) and has lots of customization options.
DarkyROM is one of my favourites, but I just upgraded to Jellybean.
You want to know all the steps to installation?
One of the best guides I've found is for the Team 3xtr3me ICS333 rom.
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25722239#post25722239
It goes through installation of a rooted Gingerbead (2.3) rom via odin, which is the part most ROM installation guides assume you have already done.
From there you should be able to follow almost any ROM's guide for installation.
Hope this helped.
Don't flash another thing than Cyanogenmod nightlies.
Maybe AOKP. But prefer cyanogenmod. Accelerometer still broken on AOKP. No point of it. (Please don't comment temple runners.)

I've tried several ICS roms and, for me, the better one is Remics. Version 1.3 is already out, but I'm in 1.2 and I don't feel any need of upgrading it!
Hi Guys! I am a bit lost here due to the number of ROMS available for this device.
My mom owns this phone, and she would love to get an update for her phone. She currently runs stock, and I was wondering which custom ROM do you think would be most stable.
It doesn't have to be the best. The most important part is the stability of the ROM. My mom is nowhere near techy. She even gets lost in Facebook. So I don't want to complicate things for her during her use. She needs a custom rom with memory managment but stable. ICS would be great and all, but she can stay in Gingerbread if that is the only stable ROM available.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! Have a great day ahead!
Well if your mom is not all that techie then don't make a leap to a custom rom, the only 100% fully stable rom is the stock one right now. If you want, root the phone for her. If she wants an ICS look install Holo Launcher and get some ICS wallpapers, that is the best you can get to making the phone ICS-like.
But as for your question, the most stable are these:
1. Stocklite v7.1 (Closest thing to stock, but better because it gets rid of the Samsung bloatware.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703094
2. Apocalypse ROM (CM 7.2 based for best perfromance i.e. faster gps locks, better memory optimization etc, but you will take a battery hit, not a lot but battery drain will be higher here)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749
I've used both of these roms for months on end and they never game me any problems, so you are safe with anyone you choose.
Happy Flashing.
I came across the Apocalypse ROM in my search. It looked promising. Nice to know a confirmation from a user. Thank you very much!
Hopefully I won't have to keep maintaining the phone for her. I am used to having my data backed up and wiped, then restored, but she doesn't like the whole flashing cycle.
Thanks again! I will proceed with the installation tonight.
