[Q] [I9001]BroodROM, Cranium or official ROM?

Hi guys! I'm new here in this forums and I'm buying my new SGS+ in a couple of weeks. I can see there aren't that many ROMS and custom firmwares, but the ones that exist are very good! I want to know if the official ROMS are fast and good for everyday usage, gaming and listening to music. I know that the custom ROMs like Cranium and BroodRom are super fast, but I always prefer official firmware. Please express your opinion and give me a suggestion. I have experience with flashing a SGS+, so it's not a problem for me.

Well, these custom ROMs are in fact just modded stock ROMs. So you can get some added AOSP apps and removed bloatware. CM development is really difficult as some devs already bricked their phones.
I personally wouldn't buy it again.
It's a quite decent phone but nothing special imo.

I know they're just soft-mods, but people say they're faster than official ROMs, because they contain some tweaks.

Yes, thats right. If you have some knowledge you could also tweak the stock ROM yourself as you like it. (Apart from things like CWM recovery etc.)
If you don't need all those Samsung bloatware then you could flash one of the ROMs you like.

broodROM

Thank you all for your opinions! I had a very positive experience with one of your ROMs, so I think I will go for BroodROM.

BroodROM RC2 with the Cranium Kernel v6 1900MHz
That way you can overclock as you wish with the "no frills cpu control" app and set governors + i/o scheduler.
At least thats what i have on my SGS+ and i'm very happy with it
here's a benchmark screenshot of mine

Help me gusta!!

Hi Senior Member xCi, this is my first Time, and i think i should be needing a help. i have already bought my samsung sgs+ a couple of weeks ago. and after that i've playin games , browsing , used my phoneetc. i've seen that sgs+ still slow on cpu, gpu and when i play hd games its getting hot in a 30 minutes after. but not like the old samsung galaxy s i9000 which is very slow and very hot when i play games like nfs shift. so i figured out that i wanted to upgrade/update it but there's no officially released update for sgs+ in my software update (Over In The Air) and in kies. but didnt do something and after that i've been thinking and began searching xda developers. and saw many development were created such as the tweaks (awesome), custom roms ( like Cranium Rc9 I've Watched It on Youtube/ BroodRom Here) i was really inspired and been thinking if i can do it alone (im so scared besides this my first time) so i can update my phone into more poweful tweaks like cranium rc9 or BroodRom and other tweaks mods for my sgs+. im starting and im a begginer and i really need help, sorry if im being noob or kinda stupid (〒︿〒) i was really confused when i was reading this post by Artem Russakovskii http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/ he says that other customs roms have different installing procedure. can i apply sakindia's cranium rc9 following the steps of Artem. Besides I've Already Done The Rooting Procedure At forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001 For My Samsung Galaxy S+ I9001. this is my first time but before i start doing something on my my phone i should ask someone like you who can give me a better advices and other tips in things like this.
-----------------------------------------------------------I Was Hoping I Can Find a Better & Clear Instruction's Installing Cranium Rc9 + Rc9 Kernel OR BroodRom + Cranium Kernel v6 1900MHz for my SGS+ I9001 From You DEVs! Out There . because my phone still lags and very hot when i played HD games and sometimes slow on menu when i quit some hd games. Btw, Sir Ill Kindly Wait For Your Reply/Tips/Help You Can Send Me A Message Thru My Email: [email protected]

[Q] Rom with best battery performance?

Hey guys, i m new to your forum, so pls be nice to me :-D i just bought the i9001 for my girlfriend and i wanna flash a custom rom right away. My question now is, which rom is the most stable and offers the best battery performance? I dont wanna overclock it, since it seems to be fast enough, but as i already know from my lg device, is that battery is much better on cust roms. So i hope you can help me out and guide me the right direction. If you already have got a discussion thread about roms, pls guide me there, since i couldnt find it till now. Flashing and so on, seems far more complicated with samsung devices but i ll keep on reading, in order not to screw this beautiful device

Hi, try this UCM GingerBread Rom 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457437). I have installed it in my SGS+ yesterday.For now this ROM seems to be the best battery and performance combination.

best battery for me was stock rom 2.3.5

I think you will have as many answers as there's customs ROM fo GS2... I have my GS2 since few weeks only and I already tested 5 ROMS to assess which one is the best for my own usage (performance / quality / stability / battery life, etc).
So I think the ROM which has the best match for someone's usage will not be the same than for you.
So far if I could give you a reco it would be for Gingermod, CheckROM v6 or just Stock ROM + Siyha Kernel. But again take it only as my own view which can be different for someone else

He asks for a rom for the sgs+ not the sgs2.
I think it doesn't really matter which rom you take. It does matter what governor and which I/O scheduler you take! change them with no frills cpu controll for the market.

Oh thanks your right, thank all of you guys, I think i ll read some more and try to flash first, when i have enough knowledge about the phone. As far as i got, i first of all need to flash the cust recovery, then pick a rom and either flash it via recovery, or client on pc. Depending on the rom. But i guess i ll take the one from first post, since i only want it to improve battery life and not the overall performance, or even oc, since it is a good phone already ;-) again, thank all of you so far :-D
One more thing, whats the best governor and iosched for you? I prefere interactivex and simple, for battery

[Q] Are there any tweaks for stock ROM

I have tasted all the roms in this forum and now i want to go back to stock
The problem is that it is laggy and slow
I had read somewhere we can tweak up our stock rom to some extent
Can someone tell me how or atleast guide me
I searched the whole forum but could not find the thread
Thanks

Ok, for stock rom, stock kernel...installed by SEUS or whatever.
Use puppert13th's x8toolbox to root, install modules, recovery, etc.
then install the fix for the dual touch.
Then go to Market, update busybox, su, link2sd.
...the result is something like this:

You can also Odex, but then the framework-res will remain fixed, you will not be able to change it (hence apply themes....)
I change themes a lot , and framework, but when I tested teh Odex by puppet13th I could see some free space and speed.

[Q] marvel v7 vs. zeus 6.11

hello all,
Is there somebody that tried both roms?
I'm on Zeus rom for a while and i'm very satisfied with zeus.
But i'm also very curious about the new Marvel. Offcourse i just can give it a try but maybe there are some people who can give me heads up differences between these two roms.
thanks!

Zeus ROM uses zeam launcher with alot of tweaks.
Marvel ROM has amora installer which means you can install stock/ics launcher and framework with app/widgets according to your own will.
so personally I like Marvel more then zeus but zeus is nice too.

Zeus departs itself from being stock, kernel level and tweaks inside the system. I, considered as an advanced user prefer this kinds of things. As themes, launchers etc are free to make, install at will or modify.
Marvel, from the info posted is a themed stock. Which most of us wonder (when we discuss) (or the previous files we obtained) why people say it has the best RAM Management, fast etc.
Only you (user) can decide which you prefer. Apps, launchers, themes doesn't differentiate a ROM. It's what's inside that runs it.

i will just give it a try tonight to see what rom i like the most..
i think zeus will still be my favorite but we'll see..

Pollie81 a wisely desition. I agree totaly with gabwerkz. Huexxx is a genius ROM-baker while tantrums is a genius theme-maker. It depends of the taste of any user.

Hi,
i've tried both roms and for me:
Marvel: Easy and nice installation (with possibility to chose some apks etc) via Aroma, really nice looking rom, but nothing special (comparing to stock) - i think for normal user its ok.
Zeus: Maybe time-consuming pesonalization (apks and so), but with titanium backup things go well. Good looking, nice tweaks (i love it) - IMO for more advanced user.
Zeus is my favourite. With 6.11n i don't have any problems with stability or battery consumption.

rom with a kernel that supports overclocking and tweaks without applications is ideal for me, after I do my little kitchen just to "my" theme and install my favorite applications.
everything that is useless is removed with QtADB. I stay on Zeus v6 battery life suits me better ...

i've tried it but got back almost instantly to zeus..
not that i don't like marvel, of something went wrong but it's all about customization..
i know, i've read the topic but i wanted to experience with my own eyes.
i had already customized zeus with my favorite apps and theming so it was totally personalised.
zeus is the perfect rom for me, with tweaks and mods zeus has made a stable and super fast and smooth rom. all about performance.
the rest you can do for yourself..

i prefer zeus and am used to it
but its better to give marvel a try

+1000000...i *personally* use zeus 6.11 with swapped system/apps and framework-res to get my desired look on zeus with it's system level tweaks.
when it comes to *stock* LG v20GB based ROMs,apart from zeus;
marvel, delfin and a couple of my roms are just merely themed stocks which boils down to the "visual" preference of the users.
don't get me wrong here. MARVEL is perhaps the best stock themed ROM available. but again, when it comes to comparing Zeus, there is none currently which is at par now.
hope i don't get flamed

I ve try zeus and marvel, and so far zeus is the best for stability and battery life.

is there much difference regarding battery life between the two?

Zeus 6.22 works better than marvel 8.1 under my point of view by overlocking our phone you can get much more

How about stability/battery life/overall performance at default comparing those two versions? I'm more interested in about that then overclocking.

This is an impossible question to answer. You will never use your phone exactly the same way to measure things like that. You can use benchmarks to do that, but it's not reliable since you can get different points in the same ROM. Battery life is the most difficult to compare, it depends of so many variables that neither can tell. I think this is a personal choice but I think Zeus is better because it was the first and because of the issues Huexxx has to find and fix. So it gives him a knowledge to cook a decent ROM. And I love it!!!

I'm using Zeus 6.22, boot animation PC Bios, Launcher SE ICS,
with Quadrant, Zeus 6.22n: 1660 -1700 points; Marvel 8.1 : 1100 - 1200 points
Waiting for a stable ICS rom

[Q] which enhancements/modules/scripts should i use?

hello..
i am currently using primeHD v8.0 custom rom and i am on STOCK kernel..
i want to make my x8 more fast like while scrolling or app open/close etc.. , with better gaming, and more better battery life.
i have the following enhancements in my mind... i have read enough of reviews but seriously i wanted to collect them at one thread and ask about opinions..
1. primeHD v8.0
2. oc at like 710Mhz
3. v6 supercharger
4. chainfire3d with powervr plugin
5. smartass v2 cpu governor
now i came to a personal conclusion that the above 5 are certainly good and will definitely boost performance [i havent tried any of them yet except the first one obviously]
and then i see some other threads or tweaks/mods like
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808
2. e15 optimiser [i read t reviews.. and unfortunately it doesnt seem well]
3. jimdem droid tweak.. [this has particularly good reviews.. please take this into consideration]
now i have the following questions:
1. do i need the above mentioned 5 ? i mean all of them or some of them..
2. if i install all 5 mentioned, will there be bugs, forceclose, or any problem like rebooting .. if used TOGETHER? [exclude the overclock while answering this, as i know it depends on the hardware.. so..]
3. if anyone has installed or tested all of them please give a reply.. based on performance with games and at the same time improved battery life and day-to-day multitasking.
4. i mentioned 2 other tweaks too.. do i need them if i already installed the v6 supercharger?
5. does jimdemdroid tweak does any better thing at primehd v8.0 for PERFORMANCE and issues??
6. i know these scripts and mods involve libraries which at the system level do therir work.. how.. i dont know.. i a noob.. but anyway.. please provide a concise list of the things which are significantly good and will seriously yield!
if any better mod/tweak is available, please do share.. and remember i am on STOCK kernel with a custom rom!

does chainfire3d realy support the x8 gpu? i think not

Use Crazy home launcher, it has few features, but its the BEST for speed

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294198
..and please can someone relevantly answer all my questions??..

a lots of questionlets give a shortest.Here what i do to maximized my phone
1.stable rom-primeHD is quite stable
2.oc not more than 700-higher oc not make big diff except eat ur batt.
3.play with others cymod performance setting for best result
4.use smartassv2-balancing between batt life and performance
5.use RAM manager pro instead superchager for easy switch RAM requirement
6.use swap for more RAM
7.turn off unused funtions for more batt life only on when i need it.
8.use Titanium backup to freeze or uninstall any system apk that me dont use
God willing,ur phone will be fast,stable & have good battery life.many custom roms has build in tweak so install others will bring more harm unless u know what u doing
cheers

so that means that i dont need v6supercharger.. rom manager pro is a good alternative..??..
and do i need chainfire3d??.. to play hd games etc.. and the point you said about cymod performance settings.. i did not get it.. i mean how to use these settings??.. please tell..
and swap wouldnt be possible on stock rom i suppose...

Its up to you man,
1.both of it is RAM manager but u cant install both in 1 time.I cant tell which one is good but the easy and safe one is RAM manager PRO.
2.Chainfire basically is Graphic card emulator to run games for other card.also its can reduce games quality to minimize RAM usage.so its nothing to do to boost up ur performance.use it only if u want to play certain games
3.Its Cyanogenmod setting like cpu setting,compcache RAM usage,WM head size,etc options.
in my opinion these setting is the best:
a)in cpu setting,use smartassv2 governor & set cpu below700
b)Comp RAM=26%
c)use JIT,Eneble surface,use 16bit,allow purging,lock home=ON
d)VM heap size=32
options may vary for diff.ROMS by default setting but u always can check for fully options by make shortcut for cyanogenmod setting.
long press on homescreen>shortcuts>cyanogenmod settings>Performance settings.
4.yes,some ppl says its no use to swap on stock kernel but if u on costum,believe me,its worth it
cheers

thanks a lot.. i got all my answers.. um.. actually i got a prob here... i was trying the v6 supercharger.. but i couldnt install it .. it said i had crappy version of busybox.. so i went to android market.. got busybox installer 7.9.2 [latest] and installed it... which while installing said that it couldnt correctly be installed as some old version of busybox was hindering it.. and it said to remove any version of the previous busybox... after that.. i anyway.. tried to run the v6 script through Terminal emulator.. NOTHING HAPENNED!!.. i exited terminal.. did a reboot.. what i get is a soft brick!!.. i was on primehd rom and stock kernel!
edit: i got the prob.. i used 1.20 version of busybox.. which bricked my phone.. any way i have installed ram manager pro now... and am not suffering from any problem now.. thanks !
and 1 more thing.. i couldnt find the comp ram settings anywhere.. others i have done..

Not sure about stock kernel.maybe stock cant support or rom itself
sometimes dev will set it to 26% by default & remove the option to prevent somebody mess up with it.not sure about primeHD.use search button to have some answer.If u couldnt find a satisfaction answer,u always can open new thread maybe some advance users or dev himself can confirm it.

thanks.. i installed the rom manager pr.. it works like a charm... but another prob arose.. i tried to do smartass v2 governor module via terminal.. with the steps written as to how to do it... it gets incorporate in the cpu settings also.. but only for sometime.. ie .. when i restart my phone.. the smartass governor is deleted.. i have to again and again do that.. i don know if ram manager is hindering with it... i have set it to balance!.. any solution??..

sorry,bro...
cant help u with this one.Never had the chance to play much on stock kernel(unlocked bootloader after 3 days bought it).If search button cant helped,I think u need a new thread.many Ppl here actually read only a title.they only step in if they got something to share.Good Luck!
