[Q] your rom

Tell me please what rom you have on your phone now and what is better in it then in others?

I use CyanogenMod 7 latest nightlies with glitch kernel, whitch allows you to overclock up to 1.6Ghz. Anyway, I have most of the time my phone overclocked to 1.2Ghz. It's really fast even without overclock. I would recommend you replacing the default launcher (ADW) either with ADW EX or Launcher Pro or anything else, because the ADW App Drawer lags (unlike everything else). I didn't like the default camera app, so I downloaded and installed the MIUI one, which BTW supports touch to focus. Also the rom is highly customizable.

Ok, I heard good things about this rom, but i tried it and it wasn't that good, I think that MIUI is better, but I want to hear more opinions

i am using miui!
for me it feels smoother and faster than samsung roms. i rarly have fcs and it feel very different from any other galaxy rom! just try it and judge for yourself, i did try many roms!

I watched some MIUI videos, but for me it looks too iPhone-like. Maybe I'll give it a try some day. BTW MIUI is based on CyanogenMod, so if you experienced some bug, it will be most likely present in MIUI too. Only think I don't like on CM7 is that the button on stock headset doesn't work (AFAIK it did somewhere around build #12), so I have to always put my phone out my pocket, every time I wanna pause the music
Sorry for my bad English

I use SUPERAOSP AW-8.2. OC 1.4GHz very stable & very fast.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

im using MIUI MCGv6, so far one of the best eyecandy for me. If you want great battery life and performance go for Darkyy's rom

Thank you, Im using MIUI right now, but I dont like it look, it fast and stable most of the time but the it looks too much like an iphone, I didn't tried superaosp, is it that good? or it sometimes unstable?

now using superAOSP, nice and fast, but I am trying to figure out why it drains the battery. I was on JUWE 4.3.1, fast and battery friendly.

And what about juwe's rom?

CM7, hands down. Idk why anyone uses Samsung ROMs. Yeah there may be a few bugs with CM7 but they get fixed every fews days.

I use Bezke's ROM. He is a Hungarian guy and his ROM's are fantasic and very stable. Absolutely recommended, helpful ROM maker.

What about juwe's rom?

i am currently using miui mcgv5.3. it is highly customizable rom and you can easly switch between themes. also it performs good. bettery life is acceptable has no lag issues.
but if want a rom that is best in everything then you can try darkyrom v10. it is really fast and also very stable.

SuperAOSP. Really fast! But I also like CM7, Miui and GalaxySense... no more samsung pleaaase

Should i move to cm9 already ?

Hey guys , i really like the CM9 ICS , but do you guys think it is time to move ???
CM7.1 is just a battery HOG for me , Sammy build roms are laggy...
every thing has its disadvantages and advantages
so what's the Advantages / disadvantages of cm9 ?

do you think or know if CM9 will solve the battery hogging issue?

Not sure, but surley if it has battery hog issues , then iam not going to CM9 , waiting for an expert reply though

It's definitely better then CM7, and probably better then many other roms out there. At least try it out.

Try tOnecosmic's ICS Port!!!
It is amazing, good battery life, very smooth, works great as my daily Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223

I DON'T recommend going to ICS just yet (unless you want to beta test), builds are still too early, they are unreliable for everyday use and it'll be a while until we get a stable and good performing rom, CM7 is much better right now, but it may change in the future though.
ICS launcher FC a lot, gallery app and browser are laggy, and if you use live wallpapers everything slows down a lot, also there are many app incompatibilities now. I tried to like ICS but it's still in alpha stages (don't believe all those RC1 or beta labels, it's really not ready)
CM7 is great but yes, it's a battery hog. You could use a samsung rom (a custom ODEXED rom or stock are fine) and a custom kernel, I use semaphore with thunderbolt and it's very good performing, it can't touch CM7 in RAM management (isn't as good in multitasking), but videos, games play nice and samsung has a few good apps (it's dialer has smart dialing and its a looker, it can play almost all videos even h264 720p 60fps, music app uses very little battery since it's HW accelerated and its browser is as smooth as the iphone's, it can't be touched by CM7's), and you can delete all other samsung bloatware.

Thanks for your reply !! , i used to be on almost every new ROM lately but i couldn't handle the Lag even with using Thunderbolt and stuff , it was veryyy laggy and not responsive , iam now on CM7.1 and i have to say it is waaaaaay faster than the sammy build roms , too bad i get some force closes often and i HATE how low the music is , the music player sucks alot of battery though
my best Samsung experience was on Hybrid roms , stable , fast.
btw not all CM9 builds are bad ! you can try search for the AndroidSoul's review of cm9 , it looks veryyyyy smooth !
any recommendations for now ?

Thanks so much man ! i have seen some videos for the onecosmic's port and it is veryy fast indeed !!!!
i wonder how long do you last with heavy usage / medium usage ?
what about standby ?? , iam so going to try this soon !

With heavy usage I can use my Phone one day, but this was the same with Gingerbread.
When I only have low or medium usage, the battery lasts 1 1/2 - 2 Days, very good for a non final release. But most i charge my phone every night.

I didn't watch any videos, I flashed both versions myself and ICS isn't ready yet, got too many FC, lags heavily on some occasions and isn't as fast as CM7 (we're talking about the version for the i9000 right? )
It'll reach great performance levels in the future I'm sure, but saying that it's perfect for daily use or better than CM7 is just going a little too far.
And have you tried a high LMK for sammy roms? Like 80MB or higher, you won't be able to multitask much, but performance will be very good for games or heavy apps

I guess iam going to skip flashing CM9 then ! , iam an average-heavy user
- well , i have never tried messing up with memory but i assure you i have had troubles multitasking , and very very very bad response time on almost any sammy rom , even with overclocking i don't really feel any difference
all what i used to flash on sammy roms was base rom + custom rom on top of it + some tweaks like thunderbolt script , overclocking wasn't even noticed
i also used to tweak the colors

Hmmm.. Then i suggest you to wait for few more days. ICS is coming for us. as soon ics leak comes out , the most waiting CM9 will be ready for us.

Rocket rom is good if you like a speedy themed rom. Checkrom is also another good rom.used both

Clocks and voltage are kernel related.
If you want to oc and uv for yourself go for AbyssNote Kernel from angelom (which an out-dated one is included in the RocketRom from eyebee) since it has a clock frequency set range from 100-1704 MHz and a huge list of governors to choose from. Be careful though your phone can easily getting hot with this kernel by ocing it.
However it seems the franco.kernel is a little bit better for battery and has smoother animations while navigating through your phone with some third party launcher while suffering low fps in some games I've tested. I do not know the voltages for each frequency from franco.kernel. You can't change them either (with apps like voltage control or SetCPU).

cool i was thinking of waiting for the ics roms but i am very impatient and liek to fix things that arent broke
i will read up on some of these roms both speed and check sound like what im looking for

There is alot of good roms and developers here its hard to tell you which one is perfect it realy depends what direction you looking at stability battery life new futures etc... i personaly use Criskelo after long searching i found my perfect one good luck.

My favorites: Cassie's XL, Darky and CheckROM.

I could suggest You to try CheckRom, fast and reliable with Abysskernel 3.8 version 2.
If You want to try, a good rom is also Darkyrom 3.3 with Franciscofranco Kernel n.4 but I find the last one a little bit unstable even if a well developed kernel.
Just my 2 cents

gave in and am now playing with checkromv5 and just installed abysskernel see how these go , and oc'd it to 1600

Been with Rocket ROM since V1 until V22. Just flashed Criskelo 3 days ago and it's working superbly. Battery life is great!
So far, Criskelo rocks!

alpha never dies and abyssnote kernel v4.0 final

well i have no issues that i have noticed not sure on battery life yet if its better than stock or not will need a few days to see how it averages out
what benefits would rocketrom have over checkrom or is it just a personal preferance ?

checkrom v5..

[Q\Opnion]Which is the best rom for sgs i9001 ?

Rwview of ►Simplistic Plus◄ 2.0 rom
Hi everyone this is my PERSONAL review of the ►Simplistic Plus◄ 2.0 rom
I've to start with this ROM becose for me i's the best,the smoothest and with less lag than ever.
GOOD;
The strength of the rom is the BATTERY LIFE...i can stay 3 day (with no so much intensive useand juice defender) without recharge it..IMPRESSIVE
-In the daily usage i've detected only few lag when you unlock (premise i like to use Go Launcher ex,with other launcher the lag is minor like 360 launcher,LauncherPro and the TwLauncher).
-I'm realy impressive of the wifi usage,i had really big problem with others Roms but in this is very stable and does not conflict with juice defender
-The Ram Management is perfect for me,about 90\70 mb free. With Go Taskmanager you can free the ram to 160\140 mb
-No problem with incoming call,sms,gps or the camera
To IMPROVE;
-I realy like the Gingerbread style but i think the Ics style should be implemented to ensure that the rom is in step with the times
-In some rom i've found the possibilty to change the loocksreen theme without use lockerapp like Golocker or MiLocker,would be nice
BAD;NOTHING FOR MY USE,some lugs but just few istant and no force closed

For me broodrom rc5 is very good but it has some issues when rev2 comes it will be perfect i think

Review of - broodROM RC5 -
Hi there,me again this time the review is on The broodROM RC5.
I flash the rom using the CWM Recovery file found in the page of the [ROM][KQB][ODIN] - broodROM RC5 -
Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396837
I've to said that this ROM is realy smooth and stable.I've tried the Rc4 but i don't like it but this new version is a AWESOME.
GOOD:
-Very beautiful ICS style theme.setting menu similar to 4.0 really.
Battery,phone singnal and wifi icons are turned in a light blue very cool.
ICS Call keyboard, add in the call log on the right of the contact a shortcut phone icon for a fast call but still there the slide to call or sms.Good idea
-Fast and clean usage.Skyhigh Kernel is alwasy good
-Ram usage perfect,80mb free-145 mb when freed
-- Extended Status Bar 13 Buttons
BAD:
Not so much things to say.
-Few Wifi lost signal
-Few lag on the screen unlock
-with Antutu benchmark the score is under 4000.I know it don't mean nothing int he usage of the rom but I like the high Scores ù
-NEWS: After instal the rom the usb wire,my computer don't open the phone like removable device and don't syncr with kies...this is soo bad

hi guys i've used nitrox 3.0 and cranium 7 & 8 but the best than i ever used is moonrom...no lag, no random reboot excellent battery life with OC/UV ... and i'll change it only when CM9 it's full working..
p.s. sorry for my orrible english (Davide - admin samsung galaxy s plus italia)

Review of Nitro Galaxy 5.0 Andromeda
Hi again this time i review the Italian ROM
The Rom is quite good,ics style and updated very frequently (it pass from 3.0 to 5.0 in 1 month,synonymous of a frequent developed and hard work)
in the rom it's installed android assistant (that i don't like) and have no archive only use ES GESTORE pre-installed.Also installed Equlizer and a real good music player.
Different battery icon so cool but no so much readable
I'd like to have the possibility to choose the locksreen style like pendolum rom
here the link of the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641450
4208 antutu 1804 clocked
Quiet good rom for the daily usage and i think it will be improved again soon,so keep work guys _--_HIGHLY RACOMENDED-__-
Remember to review,leave comment,say thanks to the developers and if like my reviews push thanks
Android forever

Well it's depend. If you need good batery management i can say that Gigabred+ is the best- about 2-3 days without any problem About permormance - I used Moonrom, and i can say, it's veeeery good
about ICS, i think AOKP Kang

Review of Nitro Galaxy 6.0 Andromeda
The new rom is very similar to the 5.0
Some changes but the team made a good job,improved the smoothes of the rom very fast and stable...Very very good
I don't like the gb telephone keyboard,i prefer the ics style
Also improved the battery drain

MIUI
I like MIUI very much because of its incredible design.
Battery life is ok and performance good too.

Be a reviewer
Be a reviewer too...if u whant feel free to made a new review of the roms..
We can just have good time and maybe help someone to choose the perfect rom
SO WRITE YOUR OPINION

Broodrom rc5! Splendid ics theme with high benchmark and he's still improving for the business version(still in beta). CM9 would also be good(alpha) but it still has some bugs so I would recommend Broodrom rc5.

Are you referring to broodrom rc5?
Advantages: high benchmark, zero lag on my phone, 13 status bar icons with ics theme, ics boot animation, 99% bug-less
Disadvantages: based on gingerbread(i prefer ics), screen on takes around 2 or 3 seconds(will be fixed on revision 2)
CM9
Advantages: ics rom, best rom overall(not for now), love the lockscreen compared to broodrom
Disadvantages: Camera still not working properly, FM radio can't work(doesn't matter at all for me) USB tethering can't work(main reason why I flash back to broodrom), a few bugs.

3500mAh Battery review
I bought a new Battery found on ebay .
3500mAh is twice the stock ampere battery.
First 2-3 full charge it have 2 days life,after it can stay 3 days with juice defender properly optimized.
Realy fantastic for my usage and i've pay only EUR 15,99 with a new satinated black cover
Here some photo of the battery drain....from the 20% i've dowloaded the game six gun and play for 10 minutes,otherways it can last more
if you want try it go on ebay and write : Samsung galaxy i9000 3500mha
I've the 9001 but the battery of course is the same

For me the best ROM is MIUI v.4 RC3 from Alex93917 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729578)
Best battery life, graphics and performance.
If you would like more power, yoiu can also use Castagnat kernl 6.6... great!
Cheers:good:

Try biohazard v5...
Smooth, with AROMA...
Good battery life too...

best rom is cm9 yhat created with hands of ivendor

[Q] Sweet JB v.4.5 vs Ultimate JB 5.2

Hey, folks!
After more than 2 months on Ultimate 5.0 JB rom, and having no complications whatsoever and being very satisfied with battery life, smoothness of operation, etc.., I want to install the latest of the best of JB, with TW...
So, I see again Ultimate 5.2 is very popular as is Sweet rom 4.5, both based on XXLSZ...
Should I just stay on Ultimate series, or is there any argument for jumping to Sweet rom?

If you're happy and have no issues...... Why switch ???
Both are excellent ROMs in their own way, the only way to satisfy your craving is to give in to them....
Flash Sweet JB and test it for a few days, See if you notice anything better / worse than Ultimate............THEN make the decision on which one to stick with :good:
For me its Ultimate all the way.... Stable as a rock, fast, smooth, good battery.... Its everything I need.

Thanks for the reply...
Well, I was happy with previous GB roms, but I switched when something better came out...

I mean, on video review on youtube it says, for example Sweet rom 4.5 does not have S Voice... I think Ultimate has it... any other life or death differences?
