What rom to pick? (noob alert)

Hi,
My brother would like to use a custom rom. But he isn't technicsl at all, so i'm gonna help him with flashing. But i see too many custom roms available for the galaxy s.
Now i would like to know what custom rom you guys recommend us? I prefer a VERY stable rom which i can flash as one package using odin.
My brother currently is running on official froyo jpy.
Thx for your help ^^

for a very stable custom ROM i suggest you head over to www.romkitchen.org
make your own ROM to your own liking,
all you will need to do prior to this is get 2e / CWM recovery, either through flashing a kernel / CF-Root through ODIN, or apply:update.zip through recovery
EDIT: romkitchen seems to be under maintenance try http://romkitchen.org/m/ instead

Agree rom kitchen but not Gingerbread as its not ready yet .
Stable for me is .
XWJS8 rom with Hardcore kernel .
jje

I would suggest trying the insanity ROM. Very easy to install, quick, and stable.

Have to agree with JS8 + Hardcore kernel built by RomKitchen (see my sig).
I have tried almost every rom out there (including CM7, MIUI, JVB, etc) - they are all quite wonderful and each have their own pros and cons, but since I use my phone a lot (be it work or entertainment), I just need a ROM that has all the necessities (besides the obvious stability, performance, battery life etc) for me like Voodoo Sound, BLN, working 3D, working Navigation app and so on.

try juwi's rom..
it based om gingerbread 2.3.3 ..
perfect..

Rom kitchen is the most stable Froyo ROM you can get. GB roms are currently unstable (including the stock GB rom as they've been recalled pending bugfixes)

darky's rom amazing

Darky's ROM & Juwe's ROM v4.1 are quite good.

+1, haven't run into any show stopping bugs yet.

I have also used GoaTrip v1.7 found it very good but issues were BT not working and many times found lag in the system.
Currently on Juwe's v4.1 not such issue's. Works really well and smooth.

I tried every single ROM available in the Development section. Decided to stick with the DOC's ROM. It is the most stable, flexible and versatile.
JS8 + Hardcore Kernel
It has all the necessities including standard features + call recording. Battery life is very good. Works with almost any themes and supports most of the add ons. No FCs. Before, i used to change ROMs everyday which took so much of my time. I think, JS8 is the most stable and efficient ROM at the moment. I would like to try GB, but it is still unstable and lacks many features that I need in my everyday life.
Thanks.

After a bit of help from azzledazzle I went for Darkys rom well fast and stable,being new to Sammy's I had a bit of trouble at first especially when I just come from HTC s .
These phones rock especially with a new rom & kernnel

Yeah, I can recommend this one too, running Juwe's 4.1 rom in my sgs and it's very fast and reliable!

Try Darky's ROM 9.5 if you want a highly stable, clean and fast Froyo 2.2.1 ROM.
However if you want a Gingerbread 2.3.3 based ROM then you should try Darky's Gingerbread Edition Release Candidate 5 Build 3 over here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...darky-v10-rc5-3-captivate-users-welcome.2420/
Although I must warn you, you need to be more experienced and be able to solve your own problems if you are trying out the rc version of darkys rom if you overcome any, however many have reported it is highly stable and ready for daily use.

+1 for Juwe's ROM I think its wonderful but sadly it lacks good Hebrew support so I'm currently using PilotX which is also good.
You can always try this flashing guide.

Froyo i suggest darkys rom 9.5
Gingerbread i suggest simplyhoney 3.1.... the best roms... easy flashing steps...

[Q] Which is the best ROM

I am new to Android........just tell tem which ROM is the best for Galaxy Mini

What you will read now is my personal opinion.
Good roms are
EmanoN v3 and v4
Cyanogen 7.2 rc0 by subspyke (forgot the name, sorry)
Cyanogen 7.2 rc4 by squadzone
CM7 music edition v1.1
This is no ranking only the list of roms i personally tried.

From My Point Ov View Its emanoN Rom...!=))

I think for new user, try Emanon v4 first. it's simple..

For me best rom Cyanogen 9 Beta 2 by Squadzone

Emanon v4 should be your first try.

It will depend on what you want of a ROM.
I tested all ROMs here, and for me the one that suited more for my needs and liking was the emanoN (since the V3 and now with the GREAT V4), which is a ROM that is very similar to a stock ROM, but with root, OC kernels and many excellent apps and extra functions and configs.
But if you prefer a very customizable ROM with a different look I sugest the CyanogenMod (7.1.0 or 7.2.0 RC4).
But don't be afraid, test every ROM here, one by one, and make your own decision.

emanoNv4 is the best rom!! But the cyanogenmod 7.2rc4 looks so awsome that you should try this too! Have tryed many roms and those two are the best!!
Swyped from my GT-S5570L using xda premium

every rom is different depends on what you want but if you want a personal opinion for me, best rom is: CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC0 by subspyke

if u want a rom for performance go for emanon rom
AND
if u want for features and good looks go for cm7

CM RC4 and Emanon

hi
I currently am using the rom is fast stable apprillia
Sory for my English

use emanoN ROM for stable, original apps and ....
use CM 7 for theme chooser, fast rom, tweaks and ...
last week i use CM7.2 RC4
now use emanoN V4_RTL fix

Ranking of custom roms for sgm ?

Guys can you rank custom roms for sgm based on performance.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

Here is the ranking
1. Pure CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1
2. Unofficial CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1
3. Official CM7
4. emanoN ROM v6
5. CyanMobile initial A (very customization but very very laggy, unsatisfactory, unstable, I never liked it)
Hit Thanks if it helps.
Ranking based on:
1. Performance & smoothness (Hardware acceleration)
2. Customization (like I don't like haptic feedback on long press, CM7 can disable it, but not stock based custom ROMS)
3. Themes (CM7 has more and better themes)
4. Working (like font size reduced by spare parts in CM7 REALLY reduce font size, but stock based ROMS don't reduce fonts, they go back to larger font, and also with small fonts, toast notifications fonts are not small)
5. Modifications ( Mods for CM7 are more)
6. Many features on Stock based Custom ROMS are imported from CM7, but I don't know how many of them work as satisfactorily as on CM7.

Thanks a lot dude.
And what aboute More 1.4 Rom ?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA Premium

More ROM verdict
More ROM is just another stock based custom ROM, like emanoN ROM, but it has less themes than themes for emanoN ROM, and is less popular than emanoN ROM.
Functionality wise, there not much difference between the two ROMS, I think emanoN ROM is better than More ROM.
My suggestion: Rank 1 is the best custom ROM (Pure CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1), & I use the odexed ROM, ( visit the page, there are 2 types odex & deodex, I use odexed ROM).

Thanks apourv.

I don't know how many people will agree, but I think Squad's RC5.7 definitely deserves a mention as one of the best roms available for Mini. It's my fave so far
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

Actually it is very hard to rank Tom's like this cause everyone has a different choice. Some like stock some like miui some like cm7/9. But for me it is,
Cyanomobile revolution a 21 05 2012.
Cyanogenmod 9
Emanon v6
Miui
Cyanogenmod7 mrbitek build
Ics cyanogenmod cooked by autoradio with adrenaline engine 4.1.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA

Well i haven't done benchmarks so i'll rank on the smoothness of the rom on default clock
1. Emanon
2. Andro-ID
3. Gingermod
4. and so on come the CM7 derivatives

Thanks guys your review were helpful to me a lot.

Really ranking dies not matter what matter is your choice
So try ecerything and choose what u loke.
But here is a simple principle the more the rom has feature it will be less stable and battery and vice versa.

i agree with you sir. it will really be good if you can try out different roms. in my experience though, i've used emanon from its v1 to v5. i tried v6 but went back to v5 because of bugs that caused my phone to be a little unreliable.
i switched to cm7.2 by mebitek just to have a taste of what cyanogenmod can do and i liked it.
im still looking forward to use the next version of emanon though.
good luck on your choice!

1)Andro-id v3.3.1 by Tj-style(SUPER FAST)
2)Mebitek's CM7.2
3)Team Galaxy ICS's CM9 Beta7(for awesome framework and SUPERB MUSIC QWALITY)
4)Squadzone's Cyanmobile RevoA

For me, the winner is miui for theme customizing. It's awesome! And after using it for almost 2 months, it got pretty stable obviously I have to reflash it once in a while, but I don't mind

it was a stupid thing to rank all the custom rom based only on personal taste..sighhhh..every user has its own expectation on their phone..so for TT,why dont u try all the rom,and choose the best for u..hmmmm..

[Q] which ICS ROM for samsung galaxy S i9000

Hey guys im new to XDA but im a pretty old with the rooting stuff
So till now i've been using the stock 2.3.4 and wanna switch to custom ics rom
Im thinking to go for Dark Knight 5.5.. which one do you suggest?
Thanks

Try ICSSGS
I've been using Onecosmic's ICSSGS ROM for a long time and it has been great for me.
Its really stable and fast.
Also i use Devil kernel for this ROM. And its increases battery life and speed through the roof.
May be you can try it out too.

Slim ics!!!!!! Best rom ever....
Send from my Galaxy S with Slim ICS 3.9 + Semaphore 1.2.2

Team NYX ICS V5 is the best...best battery and speed among all the available custom ROM

I would recommend CM9. it has constant updates. but if you want a very stable release and you don't want to update it once every 2 weeks, you should stay with a custom rom of gingerbread.

depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you want something special i would take the paranoidandroid rom and if you want a simple and clean rom take slim ics !

CM9 is the best ever

elite v1.3 with devil kernel

I'm with these dudes.

i'd recommend docs master v12 with the latest semaphore. i've been running this combo since v12 came out and i had no problem at all. do a clean install in you can forget about fc's and lags.

Hi, I use the ICS333 but to get a rom you like you nide try many roms

Get the Galaxy S3 look!
Hi
Try Slimrom (http://code.google.com/p/slimics39/downloads/list) as it is small in file size and then use AOKP add-on (http://www.mrmad.net/samsung-addon-packet-cm9-i9000-im-sgs3-look-2105) to upgrade your android. This runs Android 4.0.4 and looks and sounds like the new Galaxy S3 with some of the apps etc! Works good on my phone!

I don't stay with any ROM for more then two days ! Have tried almost all roms out there. Happy and next day, disdained , disappointed.
Last 3 days with TIGER ROM.
Record for me. Not that I am compromising or anything but cannot even find one bug so far !
Amazing ROM ! Even find camera faster and with a Timer !
Check it out bro !

Same.
but you have to know that the the ICS roms are some kind of beta or nightly (like CM9).
But if you want a very stable and energy saving rom you should stay on Gingerbread (my opinion). I use CM7 (based on Android 2.3.7) and it is the best rom I tested in the last time.
Else Slim seems to be a good rom - especially after the last updates (4.0 brings some good bugfixes and features).

Sorry. There is nothing about stability on gingerbread. It is very unpredictable ROM. Sometimes great and at times lagging and the screen goes black cause it's "thinking!" And also when it syncs , evening slows down !

Help me choosing a ROM, efficient, stable and good looking

Hi there,
I'm a proud owner of a galaxy ace and i found the vodafone stock rom too boring, slow, and the battery only lasts 1 day, so i've installed one 2.3.6 that i've found on sam firmwares website and it looks the same stock rom but i dont know why, the battery starts lasting 3-4 days |). However i was curious about cyanogenmod and i've installed the 7.2 nightly (last version), but the battery only lasts half a day-1 maximum, and i dont like the sms, phone and contacts app.
So i'm thinking about install the cyanogen 7.2 stable version or searching a new ROM, but as i dont know any other reliable, efficient, stable, without bugs and with a modern theme like ics. Can someone help me please?
PS: The ROM must have portuguese language support.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Thanks a lot for your help!!
I've decide that i've gonna try the radonmod 2.5 fat, and if i dont like i'll go to the cm7.2 stable and if the battery problem remains, i'll go for the vodafone 2.3.6 S5830XWKT6. I've a doubt. I've installed the last ROM once with odin, can i install it by cwm?

Stock firmwares with odin, this will be your baseband.
Custom with cwm, some require a specific baseband, which is mentioned in the rom's thread, otherwise any baseband will do.
