All custom roms naturally have issues at this stage, some less some more. But gb rom takes the cake ( still ) on stock camera (sgs ) which have tons of modes but alas the zoom is old fashioned and not like in the ICS which has a slider. Then further, the contact photos are maybe small ( not like MIUI unfortunately ) but nevertheless, clear which u cannot say about ICS. And in terms of customization MIUI is the best there is. You customize dialler, boot animation, boot animation sound ( wow ! ) flip to silence like in HTC , long press on apps to close, etc,etc,etc. The list goes on . Too bad they do not have TV OUT which I need cause of my kids. But what I mean to say is so far besides the speed , ICS still does not have features one expects from such a heavily advertised firmware from Google. Cause if at this stage After the release of the Official ICS in Nexus, Gingerbread and MIUI is still better ( at some points , major or minor ) then maybe we are awaiting Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind as far as ICS is concerned. And Apple IOS will still keep ahead in app stability and features. The developers are doing their very best but in the end source codes are with Google and Samsung. Hope for the best and my best to the developers !

I'm confused, is this supposed to be a question or an answer?
I'm wondering the same lmao ,though for whoever searches this topic to look for a question on which roms are the best (like i did) .
My opinion -> CM7 & DarkKnight 4 ICS .

Well if I recall correctly the call pictures were displayed smaller in eclair/froyo/gb than in ICS, quality should be about the same since this is a google problem (afaik).
You customize dialler, boot animation, boot animation sound ( wow ! )

I understand the need to customize some things to gain a good overall layout. But in ICS it all seems pretty good as is, it has a certain charm. Still you could change bootanimation, bootsound ect if u want, it's just not that user friendly (like in miui). And I don't know how many features you are missing in ICS, there are roms with alot of great stuff built in (infinitum ROM does a pretty good job). Hold to close? Also built-in.
Thanks for the reply. ( was'nt really a question but always good to discuss )
You are correct. ICS IS more interesting and the customization in MIUI is not all that needed but if I get MIUI like Contact pics and Stock like Camera with a great zoom ( stock camera is full of options , which we frankly hardly use but...what else can you expect out of a high end phone ? ) I am happy cause isn't ICS supposed to be better then GINGERBREAD ? Cause remember, these phones are not cheap ! So we expect perfection or close to it...And come to think of it , none of my friends complain about anything in thier iPhones ! No heavy customizations but a nice phone. If ICS does not meet my expectations by end of this year I will switch to iPhone.
Thx.

Obviously you haven't ever seen ios. People complaining,because it s so simple and intuitive even on a programming level...not counting that ios remains unchanged through time despite new versions coming out,graphically talking,adding two or three features.if you have a look at android you will notice a big difference between the respective 2, 3, and. 4 firmwares in terms of use and design.ios does not improve but keeps adding features that other phones have already since ever,treating and advertising them as new...I wouldn't buy an iPhone right as I think of it now.

You are correct when u say I have never used ios. Seen only my friends phone. Never used one myself. In fact, please don't get me wrong - I like the feel of ICS and even my friends do ,who have the iPhones.
But now I sort of feel let down by Android cause they had advertised earlier that a brand new operating system called ICS would be soon released in Nexus with new camera( features like editing, scene modes like never before and quick responsive shutters and so on ) and a great thing like Beam but the introduced version in the Nexus is not all that great ! Speed and other technicals are great no doubt but like for instance TV out in Nexus is not there ! Camera is still better in Galaxy 2. The Contact photos is smudgy and quite ugly. And That is Google's mistake right ? So are customers expected to compromise instead because Google is not giving HD quality pictures in contacts list ? And how do I edit and delete my contacts in a group ? ( multiple contacts delete instead of one by one ) But you see, Gingerbread is providing this feature though ! ( to delete Select All function ) One would say,...but ICS cannot think of everything ! Right.
But isn't ICS an upgrade from Gingerbread ?
I feel ICS are still in the infancy but also feel that too much was promised on the onset and that was not honest of Google. ( please read previous posts of oncoming ICS and it's vast features. And on the other hand see what Nexus has to offer now. Not really the same I must say..
Take care guys, appreciate your inputs !

Hi
i have Samsung GT-I9000, firmware 2.3.3
can i install the ICS?
second where can i find guide with all the links all i need to know and do in order to install it in the easier way
Hi !
To reply to the first letter about aroma installer....i hate this **** ! Did to me too. Same thing. Press the three button, go into download mode and install gingerbread, root it and decide if you want to stay with it or still try other roms. ( ICS is still not 100% stable so I would advice you gingerbread xxjw4 2.3.6 which is good or a custom rom like MIUI stable )
For the next question, do the above and use Odin to download any new version gingerbread.

Samsung rom's will always stay laggy unless they change the filesystem. Cyanogenmod is by far one of the smoothest rom i've tried on my Sammy (not that i've tried em all).
An other option would be to lagfix your phone, there are numerous threads that explains how to do that (I dont have time to search for it at the moment).
yes, CM7 is hell of a good rom. i rarely see lag on my phone, i mean, i dont see at all,.. the only problem is, when i change the background of SMS/Messaging pin code, sometimes it enlarges the background, and any live wallpaper won't work there, but STILL GREAT. and i occasionally see lag in other Samsung based roms out there, 2.3.4 / 2.3.5
Try flashing a kernel that incorporates lagfix. Semaphore, speedmod or Dark Core work really well and it's dead easy to install them. Then, convert your filesystem to ext4.
After that, try applying these tweaks, they work wonders on our phone's memory management and speed things up quite nicely:

You just need busybox 1.18.2 (read the first post in that thread for a link and more instructions)

Custom roms always have higher quadrant scores but they are always laggy. If you want a smooth experience, just flash one of the final builds of Froyo 2.2.1. ZSJPK was the second latest 2.2.1 build and I find it to be the best. It's virtually lag-free.
Try CM7 really good rom, or MIUI rom good one as well and lag free.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
cm7 and miui are, like mentioned, lag-free. But they drain battery faster than stock or stock-based ROMs (at least in my experience). It's a trade-off but it could be worth trying them out.
cm7 is basically "The Way Google Envisioned Android" as in, there's no branding or manufacturer's crap on the phone.
MIUI is what I like to call "So You Got An Android But Like iPhone's Looks Better". I tried it and it was too iPhoney to me. But you might like it.
+1 to CyanogenMod 7.1 stable (CM7.1) - google it for their website, you can't really miss it.
No lags at all. And according to my experience, my battery gets drained as fast as with any other rom (i've tried several stock and custom 2.2 and 2.3.x).
I am staying clear of nightlies however. Stable works great for me, no point screwing up with that.
i know CM7 is good rom and lagfree....because the rom size is only 95mb...but i like few things in samsung...like slide right to call and slide left to msg and few little feature.... we are sooo ****ed up with this great hardware but stupid firmware!!!....**** YOU SAMSUNG

Being ICS , it still has a bad camera right ? No radio either ? Please, please confirm so that I can install slim myself. Sick of GB. Heard a lot about Slim. Stock Calender and calculator would be good too. In fact camera like in Miui would be much much better then in ICS. Any suggestions ? Something out there ? XXJW4 is good but too moody! GB is much inferior to ICS for sure. But since no official ICS for i9000 the custom roms suffer from lack of source codes from Samsung. So any rom with Miui type camera but ICS ? Like a Hybridization ? I know XXLPH for sgs was being tried by Dhiru but it must be a challenge cause it is still stuck in pre alpha stage. Would appreciate any kind suggestions. Thanks !

Nope no FM radio, never tried spirit fm but everyone else says it works great. About the camera, it takes photos and videos, sure you don't get all the samsung focus effects and all that but oh well.
I guess if we buy an expensive smartphone we don't want to usually look for compromises ! ICS for SGS means comprising in lots of areas. Unfortunately. During the Symbian rule GB was a breath of fresh air. But within a very short span it belongs to the Jurrasic park now !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
sgs is for ICS. count these mark. you will forget GB after using ICS. yes it is still in beta stage. but atleast a daily useable. and m a user of Slim ics. since it's release
till now everything is working. we have auto focus camera. no bugs at all. fm radio app from samsung is not in ICS yet but soon it will be. but you can use any third party app like spirit fm. yes fm radio works in ICS. Battery is far batter then GB. you have more ram then GB. what else do you need? i,m completely disagree with above post that you have to compromise on ICS.
Best ICS roms are:
AOKP
AOSP
Slim ICS
Infinituim
and many more with 4.0.4 base
they are meant for daily use
Thanks for yr reply.
When I said compromises I meant for instance the other day I could not take group pictures with me in cause my ( excellent ) ICS INFINITUM has no self timer. I have been using and deleting ICS since Alfa builds of CM9. So I know GM is miles behind ICS for sure. Okay, so the radio will come soon ( since u say so ) but full ICS camera for sgs ? Hardly. So, please tell me - don't u feel u have an incomplete phone in yr hand ? This works but that doesn't ! That's what I meant by compromising. Spend good money to partner with issues. Samsung is smart. They want us to spend money on their new phones ! At Apple , users can still update their 3G S !
Respect the developers but they their limitations too. That's why like MIUI roms. Not GB not ICS. But their own variation. Pity, battery life is so poor and besides no TV out.
Cheers !

TV-Out is Working in ICS roms Dude atleast in Infituium and Slim ICS AOKP. I said everything is working . and about the timer in camera, if i ever wanted to use it. i will install a 3rd party app called ''Cymera''. it's a cool app with all extra options. and No not at all. i never feel like that bro that m missing something in my ICS SGS. It keeps me happy all the time Samsung Camera App in GB can not be applied in ICS. but sooner we will have that in our roms too. You can easily see that the developmental Forum of SGS is to much active then any other forums. if you need a feature, go search in play market. there you will found out. besides these small issues, ICS had given alot of new features. for an instance, 400 mb of ram, It feels like a Galaxy Nexus S and great battery timing
if i need that feature in ICS (self Timer) i will go for a 3rd party app. nd will never wana switch to MIUI or GB based roms, Cuz ICS is far far better
Thanks man! I really appreciate yr input. Sick of GB ! Take care !

I have a few more questions before I make the leap to buy my first ever Android based device.
The Questions:
Will Rooting make my phone more susceptible to being Hijacked/Hacked /Virus?..so on. I presume its no, but security is nothing to play with. Does McAfee have an App? (That was a joke)
Is there currently anything I should stay way from that doesn't currently work or isn't stable with 4.0 Ice-cream Sandwich?
Will Adobes Apps (Photoshop Touch for example) work on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE/GT-N7000? I ask this because said app is made for a tablet...but the GALAXY NOTE isn't your average tablet since it's a phone? It meets the resolution requirements... just not the size. Hence the confusion. This kind of thing is actually my biggest query at the moment...perhaps I should broaden the question...If it is made for a standard tablet, will it work with this sort of tablet?Would Paranoid Android assist me in this concern? (I think it would based on what I have seen)
Once I have rooted- is there any way for ME to customize the UI and how the hardware (such as GPS and Ram) functions. As you may have gathered I know my away around Adobe Suite and I could at the very least do some of that... or do I just have to...ugh...what's the jargon word...
Flash the Rom with someone else's handy work?
Does anyone have a recommendations on where I should buy the Unlocked SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE/GT-N7000 Note? I just want to know the options I may have other than Amazon, Ebay, or Expansys.
- Doesn't really matter anymore. If anyone would still like to answer it -here it is.

Ok, if you can download it, Adobe it should work. You can try a custom rom which supports tablet mode should you not be able to download with normal dpi. That will enable tablet mode in market, after clearing market data and reboot it should become available for dl.
Currently there are a couple good stock ICS roms and a couple good custom roms. All (except cm9 xplodwild is safe, not other cm9) kernels are dangerous due to Brickrisk of known bug. However, all cm9 based suffer the bugs of cm9, speakerphone broken, high battery consumption, etc. Most have their own bugs on top.
Now ICS source is out wait a couple days as more custom roms and kernels will be build as well as bugfixes. And off course, support the devs with donations for coffee, so they stay awake and make no errors lmao .

1. No. Truth is, root or no root, you are equally vulnerable to malware. Just read the reviews and all before installing any, you know, 'unknown' app.
2. Wiping, factory resets and CWM. Although this is just for stock German ICS and older ICS ROMs like Stunner. New ROMs like Paranoid, CM9 are safe. Still in case you must search before you do anything with custom ROMs just to be on the safe side.
3. Can't find Photoshop Touch on the play store. But there must be a work around am sure. I am using Paranoid by the way.
4. You can pretty much flash a custom ROM and flash various themes and things. Don't know about RAM but you can over clock or under clock your processor. There are various tweaks scattered so just search for it and more often than not you will find it. Carbon tweaks are really good. Search them in themes and apps.

I wish someone would be able to port this onto our devices. Can anyone shed a light regarding this topic please?
Please put all your suggestions and questions here.
The more demand it is, the better. Maybe a developer might get the device and start porting well known roms with native jelly bean? 4.2?
=D I don't want to come across as a leecher, I am just interested in getting to grips with rom'ing and the android way. I don't want to regret getting this device. =)
That is just it, once the dev gets the device then things get ported.
However, I will say that with the latest releases from Samsung (4.1.2 on the 9300, will be with us sooner or later) with the latest additions including Multi Window I am going to stick with the TW framework as I feel these innovations outweigh having a cleaner Android rom. Having had mine for well over a month now and using a Launcher ontop of TW I can honestly say I have not experienced any lag anywhere which is the only reason I would go for a non TW build in the first place.
Just my view, am sure others will feel differently!

That's a good point actually. But I want to be able to try different roms so i can form some sort of opinion. maybe dual boot a stock android based rom like paranoid android, cyanogenmod and a touchwiz based rom to try the note 2 multi window features.

Dual boot! Well that is a completely different ball game!
It would be really a shame if our device wouldn' get any attention. LTE technologie and 2 gigs of ram should be worth developing. I just asked teamhacksung at irc chat if there would be any developing, but the answer was no.
I really hope someone comes up with new ideas and methods (as I am a total noob at this stuff and would sadly never be able to do all the programming).
With all the customisation, kernel and stuff my old sgs1 is almost as fast, if not faster than my sgs3 LTE (apart of booting of course).

Its all timing realy, if they had released the 9305 at the same time as the 9300 then most would have opted for the 9305 but they did not and most cannot afford another handset etc... leavign our community pretty small. However the 9305 is now becoming more widely avaialble with sim free retailers starting to stock them soon so things may pick up, you never know!
We may loose out a little here but I guess all we can look farward to is that the next flagship will have the 2gb and probably LTE from the offest.
I have happily been running a ligher rom with a launcher and custom notifications etc... am happy with that, for now anyway!

It would be really a shame if our device wouldn' get any attention. LTE technologie and 2 gigs of ram should be worth developing. I just asked teamhacksung at irc chat if there would be any developing, but the answer was no.
I really hope someone comes up with new ideas and methods (as I am a total noob at this stuff and would sadly never be able to do all the programming).
With all the customisation, kernel and stuff my old sgs1 is almost as fast, if not faster than my sgs3 LTE (apart of booting of course).

Yes dont worry about teamhacksung they are in tantrum mode with samsung havent you heard? LOOL Because samsung have not released the sources as of yet. So just hope we have other devs that step on the plate if you want CM10 Which i dont like that much. Or hope samsung releases the codes,
People like cm10 cause its faster UI but have you tried the 4.2 launcher on our phone? i think it Is exactly the same speed UI as CM10 only with less options. So It doesnt take much to get the same smoothness its just that touchwiz has more animations and is much busier then Pure JB... So patience is the key now and we have to wait and see which dev decides to start working
Yeah, my I9305 lay about 2 Days, because my I9000 with the great CM-based Mackay Rom and the fantastic Semaphore Kernel are awesome in speed, look and Features. But S3 with stock not.. But after some reading, I decided to Pandoriam Rom for my S3 and it's great until now. But i miss the simple Grey cm10 Theme, a solid Kernel to set govenours/deep idle and the whole Stuff, the only 3g Option, that gorgeous lockscreen and most Voodoo sound. I hope that will come with time everything.

What are the benefits of installing JB on an i9000?
I'm aware the FM radio on JB doesn't work and some other function too....then, it seems that all the sleek design of the new ROM will slow CPU speed - surely, is it worth bothering to install the latest ROMs on near outdated smartphones like the i9000?
I've stumbled on the JW4 stock and represent a worthy alternative to Gingerbread 2.3 - then for the sleek look I'm considering some themes....
Have I missed some relevant facts about the JB 4.2 on the i9000? Right now, I wouldn't bother.

Try it and see everything run at 60fps most of the time. It's smoother than my Galaxy S3.

For as far as I know, Cyanogenmod never really got Project Butter off the ground on Samsung devices running Exynos processors, like the i9000. I'm running 4.1 Cyanogenmod as well, and it does seem a tad more smooth, but I've no idea if that's because of Project Butter, or just the fact that it's a very nice android version.
I've just tested JB 4.2....nice and sleek look but not Swipe and what happened to my external SD? no "My File" is found so I can't search...no wonder when I check Storage on Settings gives me an error. The Camera also seems very limited (have I missed something?).
Exactly as I initially thought....
All this hype to get the latest ROMs are mostly superficial fads with no substance - good only for greedy developers and bored teenagers in search of new trills to impress their mates - nah, I like using Swipe and FM radio (and searching my files) - back to JW4.

Yeah. They came up with a neat intuitive interface with 4.2 but stripped out so many features. Honestly who in the right mind thought it was a great idea to get rid of the timer option. I used the 4.2 camera for about a day before I just rolled back to the 4.1 camera
You're comparing a ROM that's barely even alpha. Try CM10 4.1.2 stable. That will give you a better idea of what cyanogenmod is capable of. And you can still install Swype. I'm using it right now.
And don't be a troll, it's not very nice
CM10 powered by Mackay kernel

So what's the intention of this thread then?
Try Mackay ROM or CM10. Both are stable and fluid and you will be happy with them. But if you don't even know how to install Swype you should probably stick to stock.

Android jelly bean is fantastic because it is faster and smoother. To solve the problem of radio you should download spirit fm radio light that is NOT a streaming app, but uses the FM radio receiver installed by Samsung on Galaxy.

in fact I've bothered to install swype by myself - never had to do before the "upgrade"?
An upgrade should include all the best functions - swype represents in my opinion the best way to input text - go figure why the developers forgot about it.

ok, if the FM radio isn't lost then this might save the bacon...the future is radio via data or podcasting but when traveling abroad it might be useful to use FM radio to save data roaming (and power too).
I've tested 4 new ROMs (in 2 days): aosp, aokp, xbean, cm10 - the camera has lost many functions - still, the Galaxy doesn't even offer a flash - so, no big deal there.
The JW4 I'm using right now seems faster than any of the JB tested, but I agree about the new ROMs being smoother and more stylish.
The DSP on offer might be worth upgrading...
There are too many new functions which are a bit too geeky and many customizations are a bit OTT (reminds me of some linux distros)...so, I might be tempted to opt for Slim Bean (jelly bean without the fat)....still, I'll wait a few months
no videocall facility
I belive the custom Roms not support videocall fascilty, (correct me,If I am wrong). But rest everything is OK in JB Roms.
I have tried more than 4 ROMs including latest 4.2, None of othem having videocall button not integrated with .
But there are improvements in audio & video perfomance compare to Stock GB ROM.

Video calling is fine for me on JB.

Seriously the sms quick reply function is by itself reason enough to go JellyBean.

Can JB camera save to external SD? Try saving HD video on limited 8 GB internal storage
U should try "c-rom Mix v8" or "mckay rom build158 or 161,in my opinion its the two best roms available in JB,in McKay's build there is a small difference in smoothness between the two builds..
C-rom v8 is my favorite,its d... good
Just Because...
Because we can. You, good sir, are asking the wrong question..LOL Why wouldn't you want the latest version of android on existing hardware? It is like having the best of both worlds. New Software, same phone.
Imagine putting windows 8 on a 486, and having it run smoothly. That will never happen.... with android on the other hand... okay, perhaps a little exaggeration there, but you get the idea. (Unless you are to young to remember a 486,)
For me personally, it negates the need to buy a $500 - $600 phone, just to have the latest version of software.
I do however, understand your point of view. I hope that I have answered your question thoroughly.
My swype on 4.2.1 works fine. I do have an sdcard 0/1 bug. I consider that perfectly acceptable, in this scenario.
Panorama camera feature is neat. Although it is not something that I can see myself using a whole lot.

I think the choice belongs to everyone to flash JB...or not.
I tried but i'am back on GB with the sauRom V2. The BEST rom ever flashed on my phone ! ! !
I have tried Miui, Cyanogen, Ics, JB...... None of those roms compares to SauRom in my opinion.
Really worth a try ! Smooth, fast, stable, Very good battery life ! !
Since i'am using it, no need to flash anymore !

Last I checked the Go apps have ads or cost money. This is free, lightweight, and imo, perfect.
Yep, my 4.1.2 cam had external save location, silly my upgraded to 4.2.1 cam and lost it though x)

Simple!
How much longer can our I9000 still be alive with the newest Android version?
That's most peoples reason for keep on flashing - or at least mine
JB drains battery so fast!
My experience, the battery drains so so fast. I tried some ROMS with JB and I went back to ICS.
