Still on stock GB, any benefits to an ICS rom (either slim or 333) vs latest stock or even a modified stock like Dmore ?
Is the battery better or worse?
How about the stability?
Looking to not have to update frequently and just be stable as the first build I flash.
Thanks
I have running Dmore now for about two weeks, rock stabel and fast.
Battery depends on the modem i use but it's also very good.
Nothing is better than stock or stock based roms in terms of functionality.
Ics roms have several minor bugs.
And doesn't have as much functions as gb stock based roms.
I found it kinda annoying. So I'm on xxjw4.
And yes ics roms do have good battery life. Just like most gb roms with different kernels. Try it out and see the difference if you're feeling bored with gb.
I suggest cm9

well I'm a gb fanboy myself, but that sounds a bit too much...
at least, you get wifi direct, don't know how much useful it is right now, but you get it.
cm9 has much more functions than cm7, but yes, I do prefer stock gb with tw UI much better as well.
ics advantages:
hardware acceleration(buttery smooth scrolling),smooth ui
some new features like rotation anim,new status bar layout,new modifications n all....
3d performance is better...
new user interface...somehow is better then ginger bread...like side scrolling in dialer contacts n all
disadvantages:
bad battery no matter what rom you use as compared to gb
media scanning bug(except for cm9)but for me no matter what i do..cm9 eats battery like hell
media scanning refers to the doublets or triplets in gallery...it happens eventually in almost all the roms...except for cm9...
not fully stable...some minor errors,biggest of which is media scan bug..
tip:
if you wanna stay with gingerbread stability and awesome battery life but you want ics stuffs too...get latest cm7 nightly and flash devil 0.08 kernel...and ics notification layout...n yup latest cm7 nightly contain rotation animation and battery is awesome...and trust me with devil kernel...scrolling is 95 percent as smooth as in ICS..
so in a way you can get ICS stuffs by using cm& gingerbread...
go to this thread if you want ICS on your CM7

I've been on Dmore3.3 since it was released and its very snappy, no bugs, ics themed. I prefer it over the ics roms available, stability is key for me. The developer actually just got swipe to remove notifications working on this rom. And battery life is awesome.

I am a bell i9000m user I guess I should say that (I'm using the 850 band i.e. JL2 modem with Froyo)
I am looking for what is generally considered the best / fastest Gingerbread ROM.
Is it CM ? I heard Juwe's rom is good too. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Is Darky making one ?
Cheers everyone
does Darky have a gingerbread ROM ?
i think darky has / is making a GB ROM, all it takes is for you to look in the development section to see what ROMs are out there.
official GB is out now, JVA / B / K all gingerbread.
if you want a custom version, you will have to do some searching, as it really depends on what you want, Im using MIUI, its GB based with excellent Features.
CM7 is smooth and super quick and is also GB but still has bugs.
so depending on what u want, just have a quick search and read the OP !!
Try my ROM, is based on official Gingerbread JVB and it has got a lot of mods and fixes...
A lot of users are happy with it! XD
Sent from my SGS with Simply 3.1 JVB ROM
Go for Simply Honey - the best I tried so far.
Best ROM threads are incredibly stupid and pointless. Try them yourself and see. It's all a matter of personal opinion.
IMO any ROM based off of a given Samsung firmware is going to perform nearly the same, the chefs just do a variety of small changes/optimizations/modifications, they can't really alter what Samsung has provided.
Kernels make a bigger difference than ROMs by far because we can actually modify the source code.. If you don't want to have to decide just flash stock ROM and then flash a custom kernel. I like Hardcore's but he doesn't have a Gingerbread version yet.
I'm on juwe rom and its really nice. I've also heard that simply honey if really good as well.
I'm also bell

ONE VOTE for Juwe long life battery more than 24h with normal user love it
Have been on Darky V10 RC3 for a few weeks and it works great. No bugs, good speed, no lags, etc. Yesterday I flashed Juwe's ROM and so far I'm impressed ... Seems smoother than Darky's ROM ...
SGS I9000
Goatrip 1.7 was the most stable rom I'm currently running.
Power saving, cool UI, mostly important, stable, you know.
I tried CM7, it was quick and beautiful, but many FC
I tried all of them. Crickelo, juwe, andromedia, goatrip, darky.
Now i ues criskelo 35. Not much difference between them. Just themes are different.
And another opinion: DOC's rom. The last Beta (v2.1) is running great.
Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.
Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?
Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.
As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.
I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.
What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?
I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.
Roms i have tried are:
Juwe
Darky
Simply Honey
Galnet
Stock (obviously)
and now EXTRAordinary
I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.
How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?
I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.
Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.
Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.
Haven't tried darky's.
blockbuster 2.4.5
Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).
I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.
Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..
T
Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:
GINGERREAL latest
MIUI 2.3.4
Extraordinary 3.2
Juwe 5.0, 5.1
Blockbuster latest
Simply honey latesr
Cm7
Darky 10.1
So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.
At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.
The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.
Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.
Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Ive tried lots of them,have to say that EDB 1.3 with galaxian kernel is good all around.Very good battery life.
Forget all that is cm,darky etc..
How did you go about installing the ROM with galaxien kernel?, because EDB 1.3 Darky 2.8 Kernel
I tried edb and far estraordinary rom with galixien kernel is the fastest.

lets just say that im not that fond of darky thingys.
I have tried Tiramisu Evo 6.5 Juwe's Smart Edition 5.2 and EXTRAordinary JVQ 2.3.4
Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....
Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.
Darky rom (JVP or JVQ) with dark core kernel is fastest
Try GingerCriskeloV77 mate, I hopped from one ROM to another and stopped at this one. This is based on semaphore kernal. Had bluetooth issue but resolved with new semaphore kernal 1.3.2 Cheers
Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.
Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...
Which ROM do you guys recommend for me?
I want to get a fast and rock solid ROM with original Touchwizz UI and it should work flawless in Germany.
Is there anything i should look at, for example the Modem-Version?
I'm new to flashing and I don't know what all this names like "XXJVT" means
So what ROM should I use to get the above said features?
Thank you very much

Modem version affects your signal and reception quality. You don't have to worry about the modem in the rom because you can flash a modem separately afterwards if you're unhappy with the one in the rom.
Roms are named with a general nomenclature of XXJ__, where the XX can be anything, depending on your region while the first _ usually represents the major version of android. For example, XXJP_ is froyo while XXJV_ is gingerbread. The second _ represents the minor versions. For example, XXJVR is gingerbread 2.3.4 while XXJVT is gingerbread 2.3.5. Currently, XXJVU-value-pack is the latest official rom.
If you want the original TouchWiz and you want the rom to be really stable and fast, then I would recommend that you use ZSJPK froyo 2.2.1. Despite being not as new as gingerbread, ZSJPK was one of the final releases of froyo, which makes it extremely stable, and being on froyo, the ram consumption is low, so there are very few lags.
Gingerbread stock roms cannot match the performance of ZSJPK, but certain custom roms have better ram management, for example the GamingRom by Burakgon, but you will lose the touchwiz launcher.
Also, if you want to use gingerbread, you should flash the Semaphore BigMem kernel for extra ram to reduce lags.

hmm but this doenst have the touchwizz ui and i really like it :/
I can recommend you to find some "native" ROMs. Native - I mean - made by your local developers. I am from Russia and commonly mods that had made by russian developers have a better localization and based on country-specific firmwares
Take a look at Simplicity ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203047).
It's the one I use, it's really fast and stable, you can always change the UI if you don't like it by installing themes or just downloading apps like Go Launcher or ADW Launcher.

If you want Gingerbread with TW, I would recommend that you download Burakgon's Gaming rom which has massive amounts of free ram and then download touchwiz launcher 3 or touchwiz launcher 4.5.
I use simplicity rom since several month. Newest version is 2.1.1 which uses modem jvu, has TW3 and a lot of nice features like over-/underclocking and better sound and graphicdrivers (Voodoo). It is optimized for speed and also for low battery consumption.
You should give it a try.
Start with a new stock rom from sammobile, root it with the kernel from semaphore and update it from CWM to simplicity.
You should try GoAtrip. It has a great batterylife and its really fast.

Gingerreal is a great rom in terms of stability, extraordinary is also a nice rom stable and nice looking.
But i would try all the roms u like and stick with the one u like best,
you can try different roms, kernels and modems and see what works the best for you.
Have fun flashing!

It's mainly up to you and your opinion what is better or not. I almost was fixing to say CM9, but read closely that you said GB roms. I'm not running GB anymore so I don't really know much about all the new versions of the GB ROMs out now. It is safe on GB so just try out different ROMs until you find one you like.
The franco kernel for GB is not supported anymore because he is on ICS now so that stinks that you lost at least one GB kernel that I used to use and can say is very good on GB. Speedmod kernel is pretty good though.
Well, best is relative to experience. I was on LC1 with speedmod k2-12 and it served my purpose.
Sent from my GT-P1010 using XDA
Well, i dont think there have a ROM that can name it as the best
Becoz all ROM are create for difference favour people
Example for me,i looking for a ROM with better battery life
And if for GB i prefer get Rocket ROM
So far , i use is ok for me ,only have a small bug with the kernal
Sometime will get SoD (Sleep of Time) but not long ,just around 20sec?
Other then that ,it is nice for me, especially battery life,it is quite a big improve
So if you asking my suggestion , i would prefer for Rocket rom
thankd for the info guys. rocket rom looks good. they type of rom/kernal id like is a light rom /w touchwiz no bloatware,fast,tweaked,good battery etc etc and kernal overclocked and fast also.
stock ROM maybe
For confused sorts and for those who want full functionality,I would recommend the stock ROM. If your much into tech info and can handle the tweaks then go for a custom ROM of your flavour.
I'm using KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v1.6 / franko.kernel for ICS r3, very smooth and stable with one *very annoying* bug, I can't change the lock screen's wallpaper.
I was running lp4 base-band, with Franco kernel on Checkrom...Quite decent, I would say.
Can someone tell me which rom and kernel is the best for everyday use?? i need fast and stable rom... which JB or ICS is good? please help...
Slim ICS with Semaphore kernel.
Great battery life and performance for every day usage.

In which version?How sure are you..?Will it give a problem with other roms?
Slim ICS 4.2 or f4k mod (latest) both with devil kernel as long as they have your preferred language. both of those roms are „slim“ mostly due to removed languages and other bloat and therefor have a tiny RAM footprint. Smaller compared to CM9 and the like.
This small RAM footprint is the main reason those ROMs won't get laggy after some usage and feel smooth and fast when opening apps and while multitasking. I've tried many many ROMs including some JB ones but none of them come close to the one mentioned at the beginning.
+1 For Slim Ics+ Semaphore
