[Q] Best ROM

Hi guys...I'm Italian and my english is not perfect...excuse me! I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to mod it...I think that my phone is not fully exploited... I need a ROM that exploits it. My parameters of choice are stability, sensitivity and speed... What is the ROM that you suggest me? Thanks guys!

All new roms based on jpy are really fast and awesome. Just read the features of all the roms and choose one.
My favorite ; darky"s rom

The best rom is always someone else's rom. ..

You're right.
@OP
If you want a modular ROM where you can add pieces of components together, go for Doc's ROM.
If you want a great JPY ROM, go for Jim_Panse's ROM.
You can switch between ROMs as you like
Happy flashing & merry X-Mas!

I started of with the Darky ones, runs fast and smooth. Except for crappy GPS but thats not his fault, just samsung that ****ed somthing up.
Havent tried DOC's one though.

I think in terms of speed, all JPY ROMs are the same.
It's just about the customizing the ROM chef did

Not another best rom thread
We appreciate your willingness to start playing around with your android phone. However, to fully have the android experience, you will have to do what most of us do and that is flashing roms. Lots of them. Then you will know yourself which one you prefer.
BTW, this questions should be in the General section, not Development.

First you need to mention a few things more , like the firmware versions you are curently running.
Anyhow , Your first choice should be the official kies update that you may have in Italy at the moment. Maybe if you has in an eclair rom and you update to froyo is enough for your needs. Latest roms as said before are very good in terms of stability, sensitivity and speed.
If you need something beyond that , i would suggest Darkys rom ( no offence to the other guys ) which is easy to upgrade to and had a lot of goody's pre-installed
After that you should be able to fully understand the differences of every rom and make your choice.
Almost all guys here support their roms ( updates ) , they have detailed instructions , FAQ e.t.c. and you can also be helpful too , as a 4rth layer tester*
*
1rst layer = creator
2nd layer = mod creators that the rom include
3rd layer = Testers following the rom that know most of the common issues
4rht layer(us) = Testers that have fully read and understand the instructions and despite following them to the letter , they experience some kind of bug , so they report it
P.S. no actual layers exist , i just made them up to explain

IMO, i'd say last Darky's rom and Doc's.

[Q] Looking for a recommended rom

hi
a question for the experts:
im looking for a recommended rom, as fast as possible, including lagfix if needed. Especially when having lots fo apps.
It just that i got this annoying lags on my current Rom, and sometimes i got an annoying delay when hitting an app buttons, up to 3-4 sec.
There are so many roms so i'm a bit lost, and will appreciate if you could help me get the best rom that i'm looking for.
And one more thing if possible: I prefer a detailed HowTo installation guide as possible...
Thanks

if you want to stay close to the base rom... try a deodexed base rom with a kernel supporting lagfix like darkcore..
or try this link (a list of custom roms)
alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/10/samsung-galaxy-s-custom-roms-list-1014.html

Personally i tried (and adopted) GingerReal :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025348
Already fast with just this rom. and after activating the voodoo lagfix with cwm it's really fast.
I have a very goo user experience with this rom. (looking forward to V7 (JVQ) that should go out tonight)

Go out to dev and explore, matter of taste/how you use your phone/your preferences......and each rom will have detailed install instructions....if not then pick the dev up on it. You will get as many answers as there are roms with this kind of question, and if your answer is......i haven't got time.....then stay with stock as you won't have time to sort any subsequent problems!
Insanity cm017/glitch v10c

MIUI Galnet V3...give it a try, you won't be disappointed...

i have 2 options for you
1- i tried many roms and i realized that Darky rom is awesome in performance and the team is really cooperating , wait for Darky v.10.2 i expect it come out soon , it will be perfect rom
2- different and fast rom Galnet " make you own iphone look on android galaxy " bring all what you wish , but stil have few defects but they make weekly developing , and v3 will come out tonight

Or CM7 - fastest ROM beside MIUI.

From my point of view, MIUI is really great in comparison to the original SGS mod. I'm using it and updating it every two weeks because of the updates it's providing us.

Well im usin F1 galaxy s2 rom it makes you feel like u are usin galaxy s2 and its fast without lagfix enabled.

My + its for Juwe's Smart Edition > v5.0 XXJVP .... Semaphore Kernel its in Rom and you can flash new v. with cwm ....
Rom its very stable , fast and very nice .... in my case - all works fine

[Q] Best stock and custom ROM

*I wanted to post this in the development forum but the site wouldnt let me as I am new , so any moderator may feel free to shift it*
I wanted to ask which is the best 2.3 stock ROM for the X6 (as each company brings out its own firmware)
New buyers please read this thread first .( It has all Custom and Stock ROM download links too :- Thanks Haree)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288293
The thread closest to this topic I could find was
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274063
but nothing's clearly concluded on that one.So which company provides the best stock ROM
Spice (link not working since 10 days)
Wellcom (whole site unavailable - checked only today)
Cherry (only one thats working)
People are free to post links of other company ROM if they exist.And which is the best Custom ROM. Can anybody tell the pros and cons of each ROM, which service is not working ,etc . Is there any custom ROM out there that has everything running (front cam, FM, etc)
I have read the individual threads for each ROM and links are here but one sibgle thread to discuss and compare them would provide new buyers good info

Thanks for the advice Haree, but yesterday I installed the Cherry magnum update 3 and spent quite some time customizing , so is the 13D version much better than the cherry update 3 that I should install that one?
http://www.wellcommobile.com/android1/
If you go this link and scroll downwards , we'll see our phone with 3 links, one says android 2.3.4 upgrade (model not specified) , 2nd one says something in thai but A99 is written which is the thai version of our phone and third one I think is not for our phone .
The first 2 links are 200 and 270 mb respectively!!Does anybody know about them ? Are they new or do we already have them with different names (and sizes)
PS- What do you think about android 4 Ice cream sandwich . How fast will we get it ?

hi
u can take 13D from here : https://www.sugarsync.com/share/dgkbgd5mo7pzk
i did try the A99. I have not tried the Magnum one u have mentined, do give me the link for this ROM.
What i did with the 13D was root, removed bloatware & removed my screen gaurd and its working very fine for me and im getting good battery around 2 days. id sugest u try it and see if it satisfies ur needs,because everybody has a different requirement for their roms, this is OK for me

http://www.cherrymobile.com.ph/content/downloads-magnum
this is the link for magnum hd rom from cherry mobile. its pretty good but I cant really judge considering I havent tried any other ROM

this is a good rom after rooting it and removing the blueberry bloat ware which is present it my version may be not in ur version. Im getting around 2days battery and after removing my screen gaurd im having zero screen going crazy problems

Yeah theres not much bloatware , but today I'll remove that too by rooting.
Oh and the crazy screen problem freaked me out, but went away after I removed the screen guard . Its funny cuz I could not see any bubbles . Should I get a new screen guard or not , cuz now I'm scared of scratching my phone

Hi,
I had been away for a while and now there are a ton of custom ROMs available for this phone. Can anybody tell me the best ROM out there for everyday use. Pros and Cons would be appreciated so that it helps other people also.

I have tried miui 1.11.11, cherry magnum HD(GB 2.3.4), spice (GB 2.3.4) and sharp SH8188U (GB 2.3.4). I find the sharp ROM as the most stable. The visual appeal of miui rom is the best and it is stable as well, the only downside is that it doesn't have HDMI and FM radio supported.
Sent from my SH8188U using XDA

What about performance? And also since I am going to use a custom rom , Which stock rom should I build it on, I 'll try Sharp like you said, I have already used cherry mangnum, its good.
So what do other people say, I am stunned with the sheer number no of Roms available now. I wonder why nobody posted benchmarks till now.
Thanks

Andro=ID ROM RC-3 is a good custom ROM to start with. You can flash it from the Sharp ROM which is GB 2.3.5. MIUI 1.11.11 is also one of the better options available. Very snappy performance and stable as well. Low incoming call volume is problem in this ROM which can be solved with a patch available. The miui ROM can be flashed from Cherry Magnum or any other Stock ROM based on Android 2.3.4.

Thanks a lot Indiarocks,
I'll try Sharp now, I have used edowars CM7 and loved it, but since you recommended MIUI 1.11.11, I'll give it a shot.(Are you sure its the best MIUI out there, there are so may versions haha)
Other people are free to speak out their opinions, also could somebody compare edowars CM7 to miui 1.11.11 and other ROMS.
Edit - I have been looking into MIUI, it seems Free Radical's MIUI 2.4.6 is the popular version. Is it good , or even better than edowars CM(27/3/12)
Thanks, this community rocks

Your phone has Corning glass it will not scratch easily so remove the protector. We were discussing this years ago over at AF before xda had a X6 section.
One of my WellcoM A99 has the crazy screen problem, its really starting to piss me off. If i flash any ROM other than stock WellcoM or Cherry Mobile it becomes unusable. It also becomes unusable with the stock ROM after a few weeks sometimes. Does anyone know if there is a screen_fix.zip for this or if there is a solution? cause its out of warranty and i dont live in Thailand nor can i read Thai on their forums.

The problem with these phones is that they have really sensitive screens but not non-adhesive screens like gorilla glass. Now when you touch the screen, the small amount of dirt and sweat from you fingers cause the phone to recognize 2-3 touchpoints and hence cause it to malfunction.(all of it is just my reasoning )
Just get a good screen guard, it solved the problem permanently for me.
PS - Sorry my net did not work at all yesterday, stupid MTNL. So does anybody answers to my question, I would like to apply a custom ROM, cant wait.

Choose between Cyanogenmod and 2.3.6

Hi everybody,
this is my first message in this forum
I have a Galaxy Next (= Mini) with Official Gingerbread 2.3.4, with root.
Now I want make my phone more fluid and faster, but I have no idea of the Rom I will flash.
The most famous are Cyanogenmod (7.1 or 7.2?) and the last Gingerbread (2.3.6).
Can you help me in my decision, even telling me the differences between the two Roms?
P.S: sorry for my bad english...

flash cm7.2.0 RC2 by squadzone its stable fast looks nice + u can use his OC kernel

The gingerbread 2.3.4 is the most fluid that i ever tested, I veer used Cyanogenmod but 2.3.4 is better than 2.3.6 (And the .3.5 SUCKS)

Thanks for your advice, but can you post the differences between Cyanogen and 2.3.4? What has more of Gingerbread?

cyanogen is better it has overclock it has a graphic equalizer, it's more customizable and it's not vendor dependent...it's pure android

Ok, i choose Cyanogen 7.2, but what about RC1/RC2?

CynogenMod7 RC2
For me CM7.0.2 RC2 is the best i've used so far.
Plus 782 OC Kernel
Plus A2SD Darktreamor
Try it. You'll love it

I must flash the kernel and the script via "recovery mode" after installing Cyano7.2, right?

yes. all other kernel and update using recovery (in CWM).

But after flashing the kernel, for changing frequence of the CPU i must use No-Frills CPU Control or the frequence is freezed (at 652,753,782 Mhz)?

yes. use No-Frills. and set it on boot. after reboot, it will set the frequency when it finish loading your home screen

cyanogen have many advantages over stock original firmware like you can have your mobile prerooted,
can change boot animation from cyanogenmod setting ,
can add status bar widget for quick access to data, wifi 2g/3g brightness etc. ,
can add screen on or screen off animation,
can use different types of lock screen,
enable/disable boot animation and sound,
can use 16 bit tranparency,
can set dalvik vm heap size,
can set cpu frequency,
set sdcard cache size
and the most important things
can apply themes
stock rom didnt have all these things

I can't answer in Developement, so i'll post here 2 other questions:
-what are the differences between 7.2 RC1 (Stable) and 7.2 RC2 ?
-What is "swap" partition of the SDcard for?

RC2 has additional CM settings and tweaks not available in RC1. Both are stable enough though, at least for me.
Swap in Linux (Android) is something similar to what paging file is in Windows. Some portions application memory will be reside in swap partition instead of being in RAM. You can google for more info. Anyway it's not something that you must have, so if you're still confused then no need to use swap

I'm now on Emanon V3 (2.3.5, baseband: XXKPI, build number: gingerbread.XWKS7) Can I flash cm7.2.0 RC2 now or do I have to flash gingerbread 2.3.4 back first?

Hey guys am having the same dilemma, am still on stock froyo on my sg mini and am thinking of going gingerbread for now until maybe ice cream sandwich becomes possible and stable. Am torn between going for a stock gingerbread rom and a custom rom (most probable one so far is cyanogen). My main fear with custom roms is the very many minute bugs that turn out to be quite critical that show up later when the rom gets proper testing by the masses which is why I have waited. The main points I am looking for is mainly
*improved battery perfomance for my phone
*get rid of stock apps that came with the phone such as opera 5 (since I use 6.5) and quick office etc
*increase flash capabilities on the phone such as being able to play uefa fantasy football and make suba while browsing on opera mobile. Thus eliminating the need to visit internet cyber cafes here everytime I wanna change something (yeah I love my football)
*As much improved performance when it comes to playing videos such as mkv (yeah I know its a stretch but I will take whatever perfomance I little perfomance boost I can get)
*though not such a big gamer but I would love to be able to play atleast one or two 3d games on my phone every once in a while
*ability to overclock for more performance and underclock processor for battery saving gains when the situation is appreciate such as when its in the pocket and all I need is to receive calls and messages
Is that asking too much ;p ? So with most of that in mind which btw cyanogen stock rom should I focus my attention on? which versions are most stable? Is it worth it? Are all or even some of my needs even reflux realistic hence plausible? Thank you
-just got a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for it hence I never have to worry about loosing my flash disk, just carry my cable ;p feels like christmas already

-For a stable phone i use official 2.3.4 KPI with root acces.
Pro:for official:
-Nice phone call app
-Nice contacts app
-Stable features as sound,wifi,GPS,
Minus for official:
-not many custom features
-low volume of sound
-For tons of custom features use CM7.1 RC1 original by tj_style
-themes
-widgets with quick acces to data on/off etc..
-DSP manager boost your volume.
But in CM7 usual are issue with GPS update position in real time,wifi drop after a wile from some hot-spots,radio difficult to fix.
Personaly i like by far stable 2.3.4 KPI ,but i use CM7 just because i use DSP manager for volume boost ,because i use TTS service with Ivona engine and Voice Notify to read my messages and notifications.

Thats quite an interesting comparison. how would you compare the GUI between the cyanogen rom and stock gingerbread when it comes the contacts,keypad, phone call,messaging apps? I kinda like the swype gestures in my froyo. The gps issue in cyanogen has me worried coz I use gps alot as am in a new city. Once I hook it to the car charger and dashboard mount am able to use it to guide me to drive into unfamiliar places most of the time without fear of getting lost these days so a good and accurate gps lock is essential in my phone.

I didn actually read all the stuff, no time now(maybe later).
But CyanogenMod is the best. Period.
YMMV.
Edit:
ok, only squadzone's cm7 has overclocking and undervolting possibilities...
i use swype beta, default CM UI will not be any special..the best part is the Tmobile theme chooser...so pick a theme of ur liking and done.
tons of customizations are possible...i dont think there is any prob with gps...except in tj's cm7 u need to flash a gps fix.
give it a try and u'll know.

Take your time, i will be here waiting.

overcome is made from stock hc 3.2.
cm9 and Galaxian-Soup are ics roms.
the best roms for me are cm9 and Galaxian-Soup.
and that is because ics rock.
the only difference between ics and hc for now is the camera.
and all the roms have the possibility to get back on the stock if desired.

Hi,
Thanks a lot sorrowrain for your quick reply.
So i will check now which is the best (CM9 or Galaxian-Soup).
Both are without camera works.
The fonctionnality are the same between CM9 and Galaxian-Soup ?
Thanks.

atm both are nearly the same.
soup is aiming for stability, cm9 is incorporating all the latest cyanogen hacks. so cm9 has a few extra launcher functionalitys but nothing really big. so far i would say both are great to use and you wont notice much difference.

Keep in mind that these are still in beta. I have used overcome quite a lot and never had a lockup or reboot. Been using the soup for two weeks now and so far it has rebooted once because the web browser crashed. Also, some apps don't play nice with ICS yet (tapatalk so far for me), so if you experience some hickups you have been warned.
