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.
Hello guys
I got an optimus 2x, and was planning to root it, or whatever you call it From day one, I was really dissapointed with the LG stuff, it got better with launcherPro, which made my homescreen much much faster and smoother. I think this phone has enormous potensial, but bad software. Therefore, since I am new to this forum, I am looking for the "best" root or rom thing for it. Maybe there is many different versions, but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth. thats what she said.
Anyway, I've seen a friends rootet xperia, and he said he got some new UI with folders and stuff. I dont mind this, only it is good, and maybe it will be customisable still?
Problems Ive had with the phone: Random shuttdown, ugly apps like facebook for LG and antivirus etc. Buggy lockscreen. Battery goes to 0% when it randomly shuts down.
Is it wise to get 2.3 on the optimus 2x? I would love some inputs from you guys also, what you like the best and some general experience. Will I be able to update my phone when im rooted, like from the settings options from the phone? dno if this is important or not.
Anyway, links would be appriciated to official threads or direct links to your recomended roots/roms. Thanks
I have no experience with this, so a HOWTO guide or a youtube vid would be nice. Ive only done jailbreaking on 3.1.2 on 3gs
Cm7 is still in a nightly on the o2x but it has alot of bugs, i think. Mdc fr17 is very stable and fast, it's 2.2.2 though

If you want a clean, simple, fast and smooth ROM like you said ide go for the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version -
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/
This is also extremely stable as its based on the stock ROM but with all bloatware removed, also read some of the pinned topics on the links below, this will show you all you need to do.
http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/
For bleeding edge stuff, hope on the CM7 nightly train, but don't complain if it crashes.
If you want stability, then try the MoDaCo stock based ones.
You don't need much of a tutorial to do it, use SuperOneClick to gain root, grab ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install ClockworkMod Recovery... download the ROM you want, wipe & install (also via CWM if you don't want to fiddle)
Hi
If you don't want to install a custom ROM:
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
-Install latest firmware and baseband for your region (or another region if you prefer)
-root your phone
-Install ROM Manager from Market and install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there
-Install dexopt fix
Now that you have a good base, look in market for an app to uninstall system apps (I have used Root Uninstaller). To completely remove system apps I think you need to remount /system rw, else you can freeze apps for easy restoring if you mess up.
I would also recommend installing launcherpro from market (replace home screen and app drawer) and google stock lockscreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033776&highlight=aosp+lockscreen
Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna try the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version. I have an exam tmrow and will therefore not try it out until the afternoon. I also have to read some, and learn the difference between root and boot, and some of ur advance words havent found a real guide yet, but have the iso and all those other folders that was in the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version.
great fun
I think the phone drain battery too fast in 2.2 (official rom)
I loose 40% of battery within 6 hours without using anything (when I'm sleeping during a night)
That's why I change to use 2.3 and I found that the battery problem is gone
I loose 1% in 12 hours.
I'm also new to the fun world of android. I've learned alot by simply reading threads and using google to explain som of the terms Read the roll up thread very thorougly, explains alot.
I'm now using CM nightly #31 and it's been very stable for me.
Just do some backups and start toying around with your phone, it's fun!
..but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth = cyanogenmod!
So far, from temasek is the best.. he got a custom kernel too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
My Opinion,
Android 2.3 from teamsek. It is just brilliant.
Android 4.0 from xxMrHyde + Nova Kernel is quite good keeping in mind the state of ICS on the 2X.

i advice to newcomers to flash first a stable CyanogenMod build.
then when they want to go further flash a Custom Kernel (for CM7 i think the best one is Etana)
after that take what ever you want! Try, try and try.
but pay attantion to not become a flashacolic :silly:
try nove HD
Nova HD is also great . now im using it..

Me too, it's the best ICS Rom i've ever seen, no lags, super fast (@1ghz!) and IMO completely stable, just some little bugs.
so recently i flahed darkys 10.2 EE by the way it was my first time flashing custom roms however the rom started up very fast and it was very stable but after two days it started laging and randomly frezzing and reboting when using TW launcher some time when playing games, any ways i want a suggestion for another rom to flash which is stable fast and can use tw 4

I'll second surface. Seems to be one of the more stable JVR roms out there. Just make sure you follow the flashing instructions to the letter or you'll have problems.
I think the question is - why a custom rom? What do you want in a custom rom? Look through the specs and make your choice. For me, stock JVR, rooted with twlauncher 4.5 from frogger. does everything I want.

Another S.U.R.F.A.C.E fan here. V3.1 In combo with Talon or semaphore It´s perfect, stable 100%.
I just got hit by a tornado! Slim, fast and clean! Best I've tried so far. Only been a couple days but I am really impressed. These guys really know what they're doing.

about which rom you are talking
Try galaxy sense 0.6.
Experience htc sense on your galaxy. For those of you who think they are stuck with samsungs touchwiz, try this htc sense 2.1 it's infinitely better (in my opinion ).
This rom is work in progress but i have just tried it and is getting very close to my experience on my old htc desire. There are a few bugs as of now but the developer appears to be getting very close to a complete version.
Try it, there will be no going back!!

Tornado ROM JVR (look in my signature to get it)
The first and fastest ODEX based JVR Custom ROM
Contains a addon app so you get to decide what app stays and what goes. (remove and add feature)
Combined with the Tornado kernel it is pretty damm quick and responsive.
Supports ext2 / ext4 / rfs
CWM now converts to ext2 and has the goodies like OC / OV
Hello,
I started a thread like this a couple of days ago and then decided to whack on Galnet MIUI. I gotta tell u, i love this ROM, I don't think I'll ever change from it. The reason why I didn't get it before was that you needed Froyo bootloaders but with the new 'twooey' named ROM, you can just install it like any other gingerbread ROM.
It's really quick, amazingly customisable. The themes are great and all the new features leaves your phone feeling like a brand new thing, you have to explore all the options and settings again.
Before this ROM, I'd tried most gingerbread ROMs and I prefer this by far.
Anyway, hope you find the ROM your looking for

No it's definetely not laggy.
As for the battery, I've seen a lot worse. I mean, It's not great, but you can still get 1 1/2 days out of it with moderate usage. But bare in mind my battery isnt fully calibrated yet, I'm hoping it will go up to 2-3 days after a few charging session.
I would say, make sure you give it a go before making your mind up about it.
Another plus for it is it's based on CyanogenMod which means it's constantly in development whereas Samsung based ROMs more or less have to wait for Samsung to release new beta roms to continue development in the same way.

Thanks for yor help but i think am gona wait until they fix the camera problem then am gona flash it and i hope that it will be great
I promised a friend of mine that I will help him get a more stable ROM for his OB because he doesn't know anything about flashing or anything root related really and the stability of the stock ROM is, well, pathetic. I haven't seen any android phone until now which gives random crashes and freezes with a stock ROM.
So, I really need your opinions on the stability of the various custom ROMs that have been developed for the p970. Doesn't matter if they're based on CM.
there is Marvel rom, Zeus rom and many stable ones
but i would advice you go zeus
it's more helpful to tell him why you advice zeus..
i went almost immediately to a custom rom with my OB so i can't realy compare with the stock rom.
Zeus is my favorite, for my daily use it's is very stable.. i haven't got any problems but the only things i use is wifi, 3g, some browsing, sms, calling.. just the usual stuff. i'm not a very active user.
The things i like the most about zeus is the fact he realy improves the phone's ability. without giving in on stability.
With zeus you get great performance increase and stabilty.
I tried CM one time and it gave me nothing but problems.. instability like i had never seen before.. sudden reboots within a few hours.
maybe it's better now but why change something that's realy good, so i will stick to Zeus.
I can't tell you much about other roms because i haven't tried them very long.
if like you said its for your friend who is not really experimental well i would actually advice to flash marvel since its basically stock, but slightly modded, or if you really want to try zeus but want it to be almost foolproof you can try with the v3, i personally used the v3n (had probs with v4 & v5 and went back to v3) for the longest of time w/o any or with the least issues, prada/ supressed rom is also good but bluetooth is an issue (i think) delphin ive not tried...miui i havent tired it for very long so cant say much... there was gabwerkz echelon but for now its been TD, sapphire have not tired it long enough to comment much, wont recommend cm for now as i believe it would require quite abit of tinkering around....
or if you dont mind using froyo.... then nova is prolly the best best for most stable
but then again this is just my opinion.....
Or cook one on your own, or just flash the software available for you, then root it, take titanium backup, uninstall all the crap you dont need, maybe add a cust kernel of sergey, make/take a custom theme, another launcher, add another lockscreen and you already have your own custom ROM.
Have fun

prada/ supressed rom is also good but bluetooth is an issue (i think)

SUPRESSED is a fully functional 100% working 135 MB ROM. no Bluetooth or any problems. very close to stock albeit without the bloatware.
and of the PRADA ROM port, i have fixed the BLUETOOTH to make it fully functional.
just need sometime to upload the ROM.
and SAPPHIRE ROM is also 100% problem free.
however, my PERSONAL fav is Zeus. it's a great one.
Hee sorry abt that bro.....
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
I would personally suggest you go with Zeus over Marvel, Both are great ROMs ofcourse ,however i had more available ram which could give us an edge when trying to play games..and the thing tat i liked abt Marvel is that it is totally custamizable
Thanks a lot for your feedback guys!
hiHIhi
There's a lot of ROM for you to choose... i guess all of the replied above made you some choice, for me i recommend you the Zeus if u want OC, gaming and better performance, I personally choose Marvel is because a lot of customization to be made, include various boot animation, launchers and widget to decide which to install =)
For stability choose zeus
Wanna do a lot of mod choose psycho36's selfkang8 + huexxx 4.1 kernel
I did use CM7.2 date 4.21 for a day and it seem it work better at night, when I don't use it for call but whenever a call is coming through it will just restart itself.
Well I ve been trying every rom, and i have decided that marvel and zeus are the best ones, i d recomend you to try both
Hello,
I downloaded and successfully flashed a CM9_ICS_HWA rom for my HTC HD2.
Amazing rom, with dorimanx kernel OC limit 1,6 GHz.
Whatever,
Problem is, the camera, the " take a shot button " is invisible, im sure that camera apk is buggy,
Any one know a good camera, just a camera without bugs thats all..

In terms of cameras, just search for one on the Play store. There should be thousands. However, can you please link to the ROM you used? AFAIK none of the current ICS ROMs have this issue, so you might have an outdated ROM. I also don't know whether Dorimanx ever released a full HWA kernel compatible with ICS, so please check that you've got the right one installed.
Heres the link

Well, i thought i found the perfect one, lol, thanks for the information,
And which ICS Rom do you suggesst? Ive tried nexusHD i didnt like it because its internal storage was very low, i think its just on my phone so,
Is nexusHD2 the best ICS for HD2 out there?
i think i will have to look out for some new roms..
I personally use NexusHD2, but I'm going to change soon to a JB ROM (hopefully). For internal storage you can just flash an A2SD script or install Link2SD. However, I would encourage you to try ROMs yourself and find the best one for you. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another person.
JB Rom

Amazing rom, Aroma installer, i can choose if u want odex or another ( i forgot ) ive choosen,
It was written that the boot will take a while, and it will reboot 1 time automaticly, the boot time wasnt that long, i expected a longer time, and it did reboot 1 time,
I think that rom is leading the JB roms out for mHD2 yet....
