Hello everybody!
After long hesitations I just took the first step into this world last week by rooting my i9000 under Gingerbread 2.3.3.
I am now considering the idea of making the leap to ICS but while there are many threads where people ask "which ROM should I take?" and other answer "I'm using xxx and it's the best!" I can't find any discriminant reason.
Do you know whether there is a comparison table of the different ROMs' purposes, performances and features somewhere?
Thank you in advance!
Tiramislim rom works smoothly with semaphore with great battery life.... one more reason is that it is customizable with aroma installer
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I prefer ics333 2.0 with devil kernel 3. Its fast. functional and has good battery life......that's just my 2cents...guess you got to try out the roms...make use of cwm ... so you can backup/restore to your favorite rom.
Well, thank you both to have taken the trouble to reply, but that's exactly because of such statements that I've seen so many times and which can't help me in any way that I started this thread.
To reformulate my question:
What is the difference between CM9, MIUI, Tiramislim, ics333 and other roms? Did someone make a list of features or other comparison document so that it might be possible to make a choice or at least a shortlisting without having to take the risk and time of installing / testing / re-installing so many different roms?
Dude no one is going to help u to that extent.... try each and every rom for 4-5 days and find out your favourite rom... each and every rom in xda is good
sgs i9000 = god

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

I definitely recommend the Super Galaxy rom by socialsp!
hello all
i did a search to find the most used and spreaded kirnel and i've found it! it was a poll and it went to SpeedMod for over 40% i guess..
now i'm searching for a ROM i did search the Forum for a List of Roms threat and i've found it also..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
My question is..
The thread above DOES NOT have a poll.. and i don't know which Rom is new and which one is on the top :S
Is there any poll thread in here???
It depends on what you want in a ROM I guess, everyone has different opinions.
DarkyROM 10.2.2 is a good ROM to start with which uses JVQ (2.3.4). I was using this for a while before I started to make my own ROM. DarkyROM also comes with the DarkCore Kernel.
So far my custom ROM uses JVT (2.3.5) and Semaphore Kernel 1.8.1, I'll be releasing it soon.
the best way to see which one you like is to try several of them which you think you might like and choose one after, all opinions here are objective... everyone has different expectations from their phone...

there are two things important in the life of US's Android user:
1. KIRNEL;
2. POLL
with the point 2, I'm pretty comfortable to recognise what you mean, looking on the US economy, government and peaceful behaving around the world. But... WTF is KIRNEL????
I'd recommend darky's 10.2.2!!! just installed it on my friend's phone, and I LOVE IT more than my sgs4g hahaha. What a great rom. Although, it's the first custom rom I've ever come across (there are none for my phone, well, not GB ones).

Let me elaborate,
Darky's 10.2.2 was my first custom rom, I just flashed it today. I have not had any other experiences with other custom roms, in fact, this i9000 was given to me just to upgrade to Gingerbread. So I chose Darky's because of the good comments and the features it had (like BLN, support for i9000t, etc).
I can then, confirm, that this ROM succeeded my expectations, and works like a charm. The device is now faster than my galaxy S 4g, and battery life appears to be good enough. So, I would recommend you at least try this ROM, because it's confirmed to be working as it should!
I should mention however, that there might be a better suited ROM for you out there.
I had no problems flashing this. It's really easy, but you might need to flash 2 roms, one using odin (darky's 10.2 RE) and then the extreme edition using CWM. This might sound like a hassle, but I was done in less than 30min. Easy to install and looks great.
No issues.
Good luck!
CM7. Hands down.
trust me...i have galnet miui on my phone with tkglitch kernel...the best combination ever i tried
however, all CM7 based rom are great
hi everybody, now that Gingerbread roms development has almost stopped, here on xda we can find a lot of rom based on latest LC1 firmware. between all this rom i can't say which is the best one, so i'm asking you to give me some advices about your favourite rom.
i know you can tell me: "flash one after the other and try all ol them", but my note just came back to me after a month of assistance (bricked), so i don't want to start immediately flashing 5 or 6 roms.
P.S: i'm particularly attracted by "AllianceROM v3.4.1", what do you think about it?
Go for RocketROM v23. I guess its the best which i have used in GB So far

CM9 isn't safe?

it looks like it's safe, but since when i see a post that tell every possibility of having bug has been cutted off, i don't want to risk.
I cannot decide which to try first myself: darky rom or lightening rom?
I know you asked for GB ROMs, but I can tell you that I've been playing with Official CM9 and Asylum for a while now. Have done almost everything possible in Recovery, including multiple full wipes.
These ROMs are safe, they don't have the emmc bug, since they're built from i9100 (S2) update 4 sources. I'm just saying that because stock-looking ICS ROMs have greatly improved my personal experience on my Note.
That being said, best and least buggiest ROM for me was Darky. RocketRom is very nicely built by eybee who REALLY knows his stuff and most users have given awesome feedbacks. However, due to my way of using it, or...I don't know, Rocket used to lag considerably compared to Darky...
Best of luck finding what suits you mate!
LE: Also add ParanoidAndroid to the safe ICS list, if you're into the whole phone/tablet hybrid

for what i can understand, choosing as your favourite darky, you can tell me thay alliance rom (the darky's evolution) would be your next gb choice? please tell me, so i can flash. i know i'm paranoic not trying to flash asylum, but after using nokia 6630 for a month, i prefer a gb note instead of even minimum risk of brick. thanks alot.
You can try Checkrom HD v6. I have good memories ...

I understand that...
I suppose Alliance should be ok, it all depends on the way you use your phone... I've heard different reports on ROMs from different people, so...matters to find one suited for you. If you want to switch, make sure you carefully read the installation instructions, although most GB ROMs are a straight flash.
I'm sorry that we've had so many bricks around here...they're definitely enough to discourage any newcomer to Android or to flashing for that matter. This is my 4th Android phone and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't seen so many "bricked" threads on my other phones' forums.
I just wish people would've read a bit more carefully when installing...that's what got them stumbling into the emmc bug...
Best of luck and hope you'll find your way into some safe ICS soon enough
If you need any help, just let me know.
Hi All,
this is my first post and I hope someone could help me in choosing the right ROM for my Note.
It's a long time I follow this forum and first of all I would like to thank you so much anyone who is working harder to give a new life to our devices that Samsung is not supporting for marketing strategies!
I started my trip in the white rabbit's hole with Ultimate N7000 ROM 5 because I wanted 4.1.2 TW, but later as I found that my device was not so fast as I expected I flashed my device and I've used SuperNexus M1 ROM with an addition of the NX-Kernel.
I found SuperNexus so clear and not so bad to use (my device score around 10000 in antutu (antutu could be not reliable but stock TW was at 7000) ) but I found also this firmware "poor" in term of functions that will give me a fast/easy to use device aswell (for ex. in quick settings the GPS toggle is missing, etc).
I also found some post in which someone told that SuperNexus is based on CM10 work (why do not flash CM10 ?), so what do you think is a complete Android to be used for anyday use? I'm so confused!! Stunner, Vanilla, Rootbox, AOSP, CM10.1, so many ROMS in the white rabbit's hole!!
I want a stable ROM as I'm using my phone for my work and I can't flash my phone each day to test a new rom.
Thank you so much for helping me! I think this will help also someone is approaching for first times in this forum
Cheers
Max
If you want a ROM that's stable, with high number of features and customizations with a considerable battery performance, download the PAC ROM.
I use Slim and its perfect for me, no issues what so ever. I love it from my SGS days and thats the Rom I flashed when i got Note.
Whats perfect for you? Hmmmm... No one but you can decide mate... Try some Rom over the weekend maybe and decide what works for you.
Good luck

Hi guys,
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, but it started to become painfully slow and it crashes almost every day. So I'm think about installing another ROM, but to be honest, after reading recent topics with custom ROMs, I really can't decide which one should I download. I would like to have an ICS or higher, but if there is a ROM on 2.3 that is way faster than any ROMs on 4.0 and higher, I can install the Gingerbread.
What are your recommendations? I'm currently interested in modded CyanogenMod 10.1, ImaGinary ICS Final and Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I get it, but... how should I choose the best one - which is most suitable for me - when people can't express their opinions about different ROMs? Most of the posts in particular ROMs threads are related to some broken stuff etc., so it is hard to find same opinions.

hello, I cant answer your question, I can only give you an idea of what I experienced and read out there. Like all of us, you have to experience, have fun, and make your own evaluation, I begin to suggest you to choose spacecaker's rom , or you can get the stock rom with new kernel, andrenaline engine and Darktremor.
But dont stay with those, try some more a get back to tell us your opinion
Hope I helped

I completely agree with quashqool. U shud search n try n get a first hand experience yourself. Some users want battery life, some want performance and some want UI. So people review different ROMs differently. However I have created a thread to answer this and similar questions. You may try it here

I'm using one of those that you mentioned: modded CyanogenMod 10.1 and then on top of it I installed PurePerformances™X.
I've tried Miracle V4 and M'rage. This setup seems better to me in every way, but that is just my opinion. It also depends if you like CM or stock roms..
