been away for a while, which rom is kickin?

hey guys, haven't touched my sgs1 in almost a year since I got my sgs2.. I'm currently on early 10.something, is darkyrom still the best? it gets pretty laugh.. have to restart it alot.. good battery life tho. so what's in top now, maybe cm7? Clare there different versions of cm7? (that has voodoo sound right?). anyone offer me a stable rom that won't run out of ram lol?
ill give thanks/rep to anyone who offers suggestions

There are quite a lot of ROMS to choose from. I have tried many of them myself, and am currently flicking between GALAXYDROID v 3.3 and SAUROM. I like the touches of galaxydroid yet like the stock feel of Saurom. I tried Darkys in many versions, and always found the battery life not too good.
Best way is to look at whats on offer, and give them all a bash. Each to their own end of the day.

My choice as well.

That depends on what your looking for cuz there is no such thing as a perfect rom...so there is jetpack which has great battery and you can check to my video review on it and the ics from team hackers is also good but not as stable as it is in beta still. hope i helped
My video is on youtube called jetpackmod review by bestnabil55

[Q] ICS - Onecosmic's or teamhacksung's?

I was wondering, what are the differences between these two ports. I just can't decide wich one to install. Wich one is better in your opinion? Thanks for reply!

Try both and keep the one you prefer

AFAIK, onecosmic's is a port of stock ICS. Team hacksung is an early build of CM9.
The CM9 version has more customizations. Toggles in the notification panel for instance.
I flashed build 11 on Saturday and then build 12 yesterday. 11 had some fc's but so far none on 12. Pretty smooth and most important things are working just fine.
The little things can be solved just by searching the thread in the dev forum.
It was a little finicky to flash the first time but just doing a straight flash to build 12 went without a hitch.

I find the stock one (Onecosmic) smoother.

Onecosmic for me, although I didn't try other one so I should not say but what I have been using is good stuff

Teamhacksung's!

I think onecosmic's is smoother because it has no customization. I have tried both and keep switching between the two. Wifi does not work for me on onecosmic. Teamhacksung b12 is pretty smooth and has the notification toggle which I love so much

Teamhacksung! i'm using it and it's fabulous!
I think it's the best ICS ROM for the moment! (BUILD 12)

MyICS beta is just a modded Teamhacksung or is it another thing?

Teamhacksung looks like more modified ROM, because it based on CM. Onecosmic is more smooth so based on Stock ICS, but have an USB issue (as you can see on therad) however this is not a big deal so, you can easyle solve it.
But! If you using Simtoolkit based service, such as login to bank account via your mobile phone, mobile signature etc. you must away from Teamhacksung, so this ROM can't work with simtoolkit service like all of other CM ROM!!! And as i see developers don't interest this issue (i think they don't use it and so can't see this problem)...
In this time my perefer Onecosmic!

You can try to use JVT modem.. Infact i don't have any problem for wifi and other radio based features. But i know this issue, and this can be fixed with JVT (or any other nice modem).

I was using Teamhacksung on JVT rom.. But there was a problem - bugs regression. Also there is a huge list of `Known Issues`.
After using build 12 I have decided to get Onecosmic`s rom - and everything is just great ! It's smooth, no battery drains, etc.
RC 2.11 is just awesome and I`ll stay with this one.

Never tried teamhacksung's rom yet but i am pretty satisfied now with onecosmics port. its smooth and almost perfect and battery drain isn't a problem for me after 2 cycles of discharging and charging.

Teamhacksung great
Hi I tried already some of the ICS version but until now I''m preferring Teamhacksungs (build 12).
Works great, just 1 or 2 apps gives a restart when changing inside the app. Only negative here is the app ZDBox, the shortcut for on/off 3G doesn''t work.

Onecosmic's FTW! I'm a pure Android guy.

Onecosmics
NO force closes everything works
and great battery life i think it will last a week too like my jvt 2.3.6
also more brighness settings it can go darker then stock rom
and i think battery use is even better then stock 2.3.6
overall quicker then stock 2.3.6 especialy in games

i think Teamhacksung's port suits me...

I tried Onecosmic's release, and found it to have terrible battery life after 4 cycles. Was charging it twice a day to full, with only moderate use. Can expect this though from such an early development in a ROM.

onecosmic 2.11RC
i am currently on onecosmic RC2.11, earlier i was on teamhacksung 11, onecosmic RC1, 2.3.6 JW1...
The fixed issues are better in onecosmic thread, have not tested teamhacksung 12 ROM. The calender sync to facebook etc is still there in onecosmic.
the battery life was horrible, drained 35% with data and wifi off in wednesday night. but it was only 4% last night (thursday).
Had hiccups in playing angry birds seasons in JW1 ROM, but not much in onecosmic so far.
Would like to have notification toggle and %battery in status bar...
THANKS both the supermods for such wonderful ROMs of ICS for SGS.

I use the RC 2.1.5 version of MyICS. Although it still needs some fiddling arround to get everything to work I now believe it has come to a state that makes it very usable for day-2-day use indeed. I know for a fact that I'd definitely not want to go back to 2.3.x anymore.
The only thing I really don't like about it is the dodgy baked in Chinese launcher, but off course you can replace it. (It took me quite some effort to remove it though.)
The kernel that comes with it (NEO) seems stable and after 2 days I've not yet come across any stuff that's not working.

I've been using onecosmics and it's been pretty good, as mentioned it does have a couple of mounting issues.

Best ICS rom

Which is the best ics rom now available, which have 720p recording, fm radio etc

After trying a couple of them, I am sticking to custom GB ROM (MIUI Mintberry) as stability and "everything works" is more important for me. Every ICS ROM I tried needed some or the other compromise to be made.
But to answer your question, I personally felt one by team ICSSGS was good though they have pulled their latest beta 4 due to issues. You could try DrZmiui if you like the MIUI interface.

MIUI is a very good ICS rom, but Mobile tethering doesnt work.
Anyone else who have this problem?

I am on ICSSGS RC4 . It works like a charm, wifi and usb tethering also.
I am still watching on battery usage, but seems to be as a Ginger Rom

Using Teamhacksungs CM9. But this ROM comes without FM Radio. but the adjustments in that ROM are very good.
ICSSGS supports FM Radio, so maybe you have a look at this one...

Yep I have already seen. But, luckily, I still have not any trouble with this ROM.
Hope they continue to develop it

well, that question that you asks us is hard to answer because it's different for every user.
Well, I like MIUI a lot so i've recently start using DrZmiui's ROM and it works like a charm. But heard a lot of good news about mintberry, so if you really want to know you've got to compare them and maybe install them all just once to compare.

I tried it today on MB and it worked 2 times out of 5. Switch WIFI on and try and off and try again did it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned cm9 yet. It works smoothly for me, but like all ICS roms, the lack of ram on the SGS causes minimised apps to occasionally close. That's pretty much the only weakness I see in the rom.

You can modifiy a lot in that rom. More settings will come soon...
Do you know its possible to change the icons in the status bar in ICSSGS rom?

No, ICSSGS is an AOSP meaning "as google intended"

Im on CM9 and its a stable ROM, but there is no fmradio So you can try TEAMICS

does it have the power widget and ad hoc wifi support?
Also, I had earlier tried OneCosmic's build, currently using teamhacksung. So far I like teamhacksung build 15 barring some minor issues. like headphone icon doesn't appear, mic doesn't work, gps icon doesn't appaer in status bar, but it is in power widget, so not major issue. And now I noticed youtube app not playing anything, though browser is able to play.

Are these roms will receive updates to 4.0.4 ? (for nexus it's already out)

I used CM9 build 15, still alot not working and alot of FC's.
Went back to CM7, think they need a little bit more time to get the rom stable.

I am using ICSSGS RC3.1 for past two weeks still now I haven't faced any issues. Its a smooth ICS ROM.
Badly waiting for RC4, which they have pulled due to some serious WIFI/Data issues.

ICSSGS it certainly is.
I fully agree with devav, Team ICSSGS' rom's the best around for now ), even if it's RC3.1 (I'm too waiting for RC4). There you can find working 720p HD video @ 30fps that REALLY works (no stutter), panorama photography, face unlock, fully working hardware acceleration, music player, e-mail, Holo UI with all its eyecandy etc. (~98% of all rom is working).
NOTICE: ICS is a quite new OS which is primarily optimized for modern dual- or even quad-core processors and ~1024Mb RAM. So you have to get yourself an appkiller / any other RAM emptier + auto cache cleaner because of the ICS' memory-hunger. ICS can be a bit laggy when using stock 100/1000 clocks.
I highly recommend an OC with undervolting (to save juice).
My settings are:
GOV: smartass v2
MAX: 1200MHz (UV)
MIN: 400MHz (UV), and my battery lasts for 7-8 hours of moderate usage and my phone being able to run team ICSSGS' rom pretty flawlessly.

[Q] Question about the current crop of ICS ROMs

hi guys
I'm finding it very confusing to figure out some stuff about the ICS ROMs. Unfortunately I don't have as much time as when I first started flashing to read *everything* about every ICS ROM. Specially since some of them don't mention the fact that they're actually ICS-based in the title for their development thread. I've also found some GB ROMs that use an ICS theme, so they place the ICS acronym in the thread title. Very confusing.
So I have 3 very concrete questions:
1. As with GB ROMS, are there MTP-based (i.e. Samsung ROM based) ROMS and AOSP-based ROMS (like CM)?
2. If yes. Can you mention one or 2 of each? If they're all AOSP, then ignore this here dumb question.
3. This is harder, but I'd like to know just in general, which ROMs seem to be among the favorites?
Thanks a lot guys, happy flashing.

Fairly new myself...
I think most of them are AOSP Roms - could be wrong though.
I have only tried two:
teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Galaxy S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593
Team ICSSGS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
Personally, although I came from CM7 so I tried CM9 first. Moved to Team ICSGS pretty quickly though and found it to be awesome. I do miss some of the customisations you can do with CM Roms but I have found Team ICSSGS to be faster & more stable for my uses. I did try CM9 for a second time the other day as I had tried build 15 and they had build 16 but I still prefer Team ICSSGS so spent about an hour on CM9 and then switched back. CM9 just seemed way more laggy & I had a couple reboots & minor issues which I've never had on Team ICSSGS. (I don't overclock or anything...)
I'm also running the Semaphore 0.9.1 Kernel with the Team ICSSGS Rom which is awesome.
Semaphore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Not sure if that is what you want but those are the two I have tested.
There are also a lot of people that seem to like code name android & slim ics but can't recommend as I haven't tried them.

Hi, I too have tested CM9 teamhacksung's ICS with its build 15 and 16, before I had used CM7, now switched to Dark Knights ICS 4.0.4 just two days ago, it is ported from Galaxy Nexus and stable, everything working flawlessly, read through the opinions in its thread, I definitely recommend that rom.

Thanks, guys
This gives me a starting point to start reading.
I was wary of the CM version as it seems they focus too much on speed and sticking as close to aosp as possible, which is fine, but not at the expense of stability.
I think I'll start looking at the Dark Knight release.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

1st tried ICSSGS 4.2 which was excellent, very stable and no crashes, everything that I did juist worked, with the Semaphore kernel, it was very slick and fast as-well.
Just flashed Dark Knight 3 literally an hour a go, so cant give any report on that but so far so good, its very fast as-well.
Both are AOSP.

I flip flopped between hacksungs and ICSSGS, and stuck with ICSSGS. With 4.2 and Semaphore 0.9.1, phone runs like a dream. And everyday usage, for work, games, personal...it's amazing.
But...I get bored to easily, so I might try Dark Knight....

I flashed my first and only ICS rom last week - doc's master ICS V5 and have to say It's very fast and super smooth. I'm now using semaphore 1.9.1 and seems even better now too.

Switched from teamhacksung to Open Kang Project just yesterday.
You cant go wrong with both.
I really like the customization on Kang.
Will try Dark Knight and ICSSGS for sure in the near future.

I use ICSSGS 4.2 with Semaphore 0.9.0 kernel.
No FC's, no reboots, very fast.
I play Asphalt 6HD, PES12, Real Racing 2, Fifa12, NFS: Hot Pursuit, NOVA 2, DeepSpace without lag.
All other stuff work too. No WiFi problem, no Bluetooth problem... just perfect...
I definitely recommend that rom.
BTW. Team ICSSGS waiting now for AOSP 4.0.4. (4.0.3 mission completed, all works fine)

I eventually tried Dark knight. All I can say is WOW.
It has a few very minor bugs, but it's usable as hell, super fast (a bit snappier than CM7.1, in fact).
I had to flash it three times before the phone finally booted up correctly, and I restored my apps with no data (except a couple of them for which I need the data and have no backup mechanism of their own).
But...wow. Also, ICS looks really nice, it feels so much more polished.
At work they gave me an iPhone....it feels so simplistic and stale and boring. Only thing the iPhone 4S has it going for it is the damn screen which is gorgeous. And, obviously, it's faster than my trusty ol' SGS. But hell, ICS closed the gap in terms of polish and responsiveness with iOS. In terms of flexibility and usability, iOS was already behind.
I'm a happy camper.

AOKP build23 beta2.1 with the Party pack from GoyalBhuvan, which i really like it after Aokp milestone 4 from Open Kang Project is the best...! Without dudes Kang Project is rocking with the customization.

1) There are AOSP ICS roms and there are ports of Galaxy S2 Samsung ICS roms
2) Examples of AOSP based roms: CM9, teamicgs, AOKP
Examples of Samsung based roms: The apha ports of the Galaxy S2 rom
3) Currently, most people use cm9 or AOKP. While AOKP has more features and better hardware acceleration, I find cm9 to be more stable and less prone to force closes and reboots.

Which rom is fast & has no LAGS!!!

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.

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.
