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

+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 rom should i use?

What rom is best and most stable?

JVT stock rom with the semaphore kernel.
or wait for the F1 Innovation ROM Version 15 which is gonna be released tomorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058814

thanks for the reply ill wait for the f1 and see

ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
love these rom

ICS from onecosmic ist really cool, but think about the problems.
Some Apps dont run with this rom. For me, there ist no connection with MyPhoneExplorer. Also problems with unsing external SD, because it is rooted to mnt/emmc.
After flashing GOA 6.0 and some other custom roms, i am at the moment on doctorz rom 13.1 with no FCs or any other problems. It ist smooth, all apps are running..for me the best rom at the moment.

First thing you should decide if you want a 2.3.x ROM or a 4.0.x release. Then you can decide which ROM is right for you.
Check the screenshots and see what you like the most. I can advice MintBerry which is very fast and good looking, but since it's not based on a Samsung ROM you're gonna miss the Samsung Apps (as far as you can miss them).

Stable - any stock ROM or Stock Rom based; you can speed it up by using a different kernel (try semaphore) and/or tweaks (Thunderbolt's). I don's advise any ICS based ROM: they are still a little away from what I call ''stable''.
As for best... well, it depends on what you think. My advice is to try several ones. Each user has it's thoughts on what they think it's ''best''.

i want 2.3.x because i know ics isnt that stable and alot of things dont work still..
currently im on jvq 2.3.4 flashed with odin ( i don't have cwm because i dont know if it will void my guarantee :/ )
and a user above suggested jvt but i also saw jvz and im wondering which is better ( both 2.3.6 )

I have tried lots of roms, I found galaxydroid 3.3 gave best battery life, but 5.0 lost it. I am currently using mitrerom, and this seems very stable, nice tweaks, boots very fast and thus far have no issues. I am avoiding any 4.0 rom, as they are still all in beta stages and can still have issues. Best thing to do, is see what you like and flash, flash and flash. You cant do any wrong if you read the tutorials and take your time, oh and dont touch the bootloader!!

Buttwad. Why not to post a link to that "mitrerom"? I can't find it anywhere.

can someone post a download link for odin please ?
i cant find it anywhere

GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best

ty all i used stock jvz and maybe ill change it in the future

Myhm... someone can.... first post here...

if i want to flash semaphore with odin i put it in the pda ?
it wont break stock jvz?

ANY kernel in Odin -passes as PDA.

JW1 with CWM-Kernel or SauRom ....

so stock jvz will work fine with semaphore 2.4?

bump :/ this is my last question

that's up to you
it depends on what do you prefer. you have to try some roms. For me is important how offen the developer updates his rom, if it is stable and handy and easy to update. After trying dozen of roms and som kernels my favourite is Slim ICS in combination with Sempahore Kernel 1.2.0.s with hugemem option (399Mb RAM)
Slim ICS is highly optimizable, really fast and with semaphore you get some cherries like voodoo sound option, other governors, schedulers etc..
If i compare it to some GB stock roms, where you have 320 Mb ram or something like that, i have to laugh :

I have flashed quite a few roms (Elite, EXTRAordinary, AOKP, etc.). One of the best that I have experienced is INFINITUM LBR 1.1.1. This rom is smooth, good battery, rom control, OTA updates and plenty of available ram. You will not regret flashing this rom :thumbup:

Slim ICS, CM9 nightly and Dark Knight (and so Elite too)

The best around Dark Knight v5.5 da fast & stable

After probing diferent ICS roms, the best for mi is MIUI.4-SpeeD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548796

Every single ROM is good. My fav is ICSSGS with Devil kernel. I tried Slim ICS and tiny bugs and glitches let it down. Also, in slim ics I had some SIM problemsand the icons are tiny. CM9 is a battery eater.

[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).

Rigr

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 !

many people here recommend slim ics.. try out "tiramislim". it's bades on slim with a vew cool features. with aroma-installer you can modify it easy without flashing the rom new. on my device, it runs with the devil3 kernel veerry well.

I am running the Remics V1.1, and it's very stable, no bugs.

ICS or JB

Hi,
I'm looking for ICS Or JB rom 'cause i'm using CM9 nightly but it's old build but i have problems when tried to download newer build and i have been thinking that should i try other roms too? I want a rom which has just few small bugs or no bugs at all. So, should i just try again and try download CM9 or try another rom?

You can try CM10, it's OK for daily use. Has minor bugs but nothing serious.

It's a little early for JB, give it some time to get stable.
ICS have come a long way and is now amazing for daily use. You can try here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...wich-4-0-4-in-samsung-galaxy-s-g-t-i9000.125/

CM 10 is working great but for a simple, stable ROM I would recommend that you give slim ICS a go. I never had a problem with it, from 3.9 to 4.2.

I'm using GNex Beta 6.1 (JB) and coming from TiramiSlim 2.0 (ICS) which are blazing fast ROMs .
Loved the easy installation of TiramiSlim with the Aroma installer
But give JB a try,daily juse can be recommended

For ICS, I recommend cm9 blueberry.

I'm on ICS333 2.0.1 by Team 3xtr3m3 with Semaphore 1.3.0 and i love it. Give it a try. He is also working on a JB Version.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

I've been using CM9 for a while but with time it ended up lagging a lot. A switched to SlimICS with Semaphore kernel a few weeks ago and I'm impressed. It's fast and doesn't have bugs (at least in my experience). Absolutely recommended and looking forward to switch to SlimBean as soon as it gets stable for daily use.

Best ICS for Galaxy S
i am a amature with softwares but very much addicted in changing the ROM in my Galaxy S . i switched to custom ROMS in GB itself (Can't wait till the updates from samsung)
I tried various ICS but ended up in somany lags mainly losing my IMEI (which made me sleepless many nights)
Finally now am with Team 3xtr3m3 IMM76L ICS333 2.0.1 & kernel 3.0.8 Semaphore_ICS_1.2.2s. for the past 2-3 months.
am controlling my urge to switch to JB.
am expecting Team 3xtr3m3 JB
Thanks to Team 3xtr3m3 as am enjoying my Galaxy S:good:

I would recommend you to download the newest build of CM9 Nightly, or CM9 RC2 and stay with it some more time. I've been using it for a very long time and I had no problems. Currently I'm using CM10 and I can only say that it's not stable at all yet. You shold wait a while for JB

Thanks, i'm using CM9 now and no bugs! But i'm interested in the TiramiSlim rom.
Is it fast and is it more stable than CM9?

I have no comparison with CM9. I've been using TiramiSlim v.2.0 for a month and I don't complain. Installation is very easy, you may choose what do you want. Compared to GB I can use my SGS longer without a reboot.

Could you give me instructions how to install tiramislim?

In TiramiSlim thread is instruction of installation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664049
From SD card, using CWM I installed this ROM. Sometimes you may have problems, e.g. with camera. So install ROM again. Reinstall often solves this problem.
Good luck!

I can absolutely recommend SlimICS. It is fast and stable. I've used it together with Semaphore Kernel and it was nearly perfect.
Though I made the switch to SlimJB now it is just because of one reason. The available space for apps is limited because of the size of the datadata partition. SLIMJB got rid of that partition so I don't have the low memory message anymore. And it has Semaphore Kernel as default.
So for daily use just install SlimICS. You can find it in the development section. I can't post URLs yet. But you can Google SlimICS and it should give you the proper link.

Slim ICS definitely

I know SlimICS is very good rom but i'm interested in TiramiSlim because it has more languages (or finnish language which is my language) and it has more features than SlimICS.

I recommend TiramiSlim, used some time (because no Polish language in SlimICS) and it work flawless :laugh:
Actually i test JB roms (X-Bean now) and thinking about return to TiramiSlim

I wonder, if language pack from OTA (from TiramiSlim) runs properly with SlimICS. Has anybody tried it?
Then we would have SlimICS with others languages.

Tiramislim
Hmm just looked at tiramislim and its based of slim ICS and runs extremely well I say go for that it has more features as you said
