That's been my choice for some time now. First Psyches version for the Galaxy 5 and mini and then mebiteks version (the same as Psyches but with updated code) for the mini.
It's very stable and fast.
Of course, nothing beats stock when it comes to stability, just make sure you use the proper version. Easiest way to do that is to use CheckFusDownloader.

True, Mebitek's version is very stable, followed very closely by crazy kp music edition v3 (which I'm currently using).

It's the latest 2.3.6 ROM for India, there is no newer stock ROM so there is no use upgrading it.

wow ?!
I don't know why the poll has CM9. Its still in beta stage (duhh) its full of bugs (ofcourse its going to be the best rom ever once its fully functional ). Also why the poll doesn't have CM7 by mebitek? Its stable,fast nd battery saving. Same with CM7 RC5.6. Its still buggy.
The poll starter must be really sad. ( sorry no offense meant, just annoyed by the fact that these roms weren't included )

sorrry bro.... i had not tested the CM 7.0 by mebitek before posting the poll........ but yeaa, i completely agreee dat the CM 7 rc 0 is the best ROM i have ever used for galaxy mini........

the best rom for our mini at the moment is the Official CM 7.2 Nightly build

Since the XWKTH has the Euro baseband i imagine that the DDQK7 would work better for GSM/GPRS/G3/GPS and language.
The XWKTH is basically the same ROM as DDQK7 but with European settings.

[Q] Recommend me a ROM please

Hi there.
I'm new here and new to the Android platform aswell. I recently bought a Galaxy Mini GT-5570B. I run Gingerbread 2.3.4 on a stock rom (JJKQ5). I just rooted it using this guide: (THANKS!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202
Now, I'm looking to apply a ROM. I want the most stable one, which has only the very basic stuff. I want my phone to run as fast as possible with at least bugs or crashes. After reading a bit, I found out (correct me if I'm wrong) that CM7 is the best one to suit me.
However, I still don't know which to apply!
I found 3 topics that I think are the best, but I still don't know which of them is stable or the fastest.

As far as I understand, all I need to do is install ClockworkMod and just boot into it and install from SD, just like I applied my root. Is this correct?
Sorry for these nab questions, I know you probably heard it a few times (Tried searching for a similar topic, couldn't find anything that satisfies me).

Hi. Yeah the people who are longer active here have heard these question a lot. But everybody here was a beginner so thats no problem.
You did some search yourself so you have already read the most.
All you have to do is flash cwm via odin. There is an older one 4.0.0.5 or a newer 5.x.x.x. I recommend you the older one.
After that you can use cwm and install custom roms. There are plenty you can choose of. As I used a mini my favorite was the cyanogenmod from mebitek. Try the last version or the one before.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the comments, I installed official CyanogenMod 7.2RC1 and I'm very happy with it!

Yes, that's my pick also, there are two builds from pure CM based on Mebitek's (The galaxymini and the nightly (I guess weekly now ;-) )
I installed the latest weekly on top of the Galaxymini (that hasn't been updated since march 18) using the deodexed version without wiping data and it's working great. You may try the odexed version for space and maybe bit more speed but believe me, this is the smoothest ROM I've tried (Used squadzone's, chocobread, emanon, more, etc.) but this one hasn't crashed a single time. I use Overclock to 729 + slaidyboost and WOW, great ROM. Battery is not that bad as it can last as much as stock (maybe even a bit more).

Why everyone uses the buggy CM7 rom base ?

Hello all,
I have tried EVERY SINGLE ROM on my mini galaxy for the past 4 months.
They only stable rom I found without unwanted FC is the Minimod X final.
It is so hard to find a stable non-stock rom these day while everyone ports the CM7/9 rom and changes it in some way.
Have you thought about that the CM7/9 rom is not STABLE enough to build on it ?
I wish there will be other updated stable roms that does NOT based on the buggy CM7/9 roms

CM9 is in beta stage, not only for our device, but as an OS in general so no question about that. as for CM7, hmmm, it may be buggy for you but not for all. kittenlinux build's and mebitek's builds are pretty stable for me. Also, that is the essence of development, resolve all unwanted bugs.

Thanks for your reply Kitrax. When I'm talking about instability, I mean a FC few times a week in a moderate use of the phone.When you say pretty stable, Can you use the build for a week without a FC ? The only one that stood up to this to me is the Minimod X final......

Yeah, I can use these ROMs without FC for a week. Well, that would depend on the apps that are force closing on your phone.

have you tried MORe rom? it's stable for me...
and about cm7, I think that's because it isn't the final release...

Thanks again kitrax and droid,
I just installed the latest kittenlinux rom, Since kitrax said that it worked quite stable for him (I saw that meibtek's rom has still some gps problem which was fixed in kittenlinux's rom).
I hope that this rom with the latest full Gapps will work as stable as i expect a rom to work.

Of course! It's still on the beta stage!
I think the baseband version you are using do some different effect.
Some baseband isn't good to some custom ROM.

i've been using the CM 7.2 RC1 since yesterday and it is stable up to now.
I've installed all my programs (premotedroid, Circle battery wodget, Extreme alarm clock, 3g watchdog), And up to now it didnt gave me any FC.
Hope it'll keep working stable. Will let you know whats up.
Thank you folks for your help and insights

i like squad's ROM but the CMobile is buggy! Long time no see him to fix this! (on madteam)

talking about stable cm
didn't you tried official cm for tass

I've tried the official CM 7.2 that came out few weeks ago, But didn't found it stable.

Strange, I was using a lot of roms too, and I experienced bugs and fc's only on few of them... maybe You just expecting too much from this little device, especially when you get a lot of fc's even on stock rom...

[Q] What ROM for ICS / i9000?

Hi,
which ROM can you recommend? I'm on DarkyRom 10.4.2 and want to change to ICS.
Is there any ROM contains tun.ko module for using openvpn or anyconnect? I can't find any information about this.

Hey,
There are so many ICS roms you can try from, we've really got great developers for our device.
My current favorite is ICS333:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618757
It's really stable and everything works!! There's even a guide to install it on the general section.. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
tun modules are supported by the kernel. ICS333 comes with semaphore kernel by default, which supports tun modules.. You could check and ask more on the ics semaphore thread in the development section..

For me there are only a few good ICS Roms.
The best ist Dark Knight 3.
But if you want a really stable and fast System, don`t take an ICS Rom. Take a jvt, jvr or jvz custom rom. My favorite is Tornado.

Thanks for you answer.
I've looked at many ROMS but the decision is difficult. My favorite after reading the different thread is SLIM ICS. But I'll now have a look at ICS333.
Should I use nandroid to make a backup before trying any ROM?

Yeah, making a nandroid backup would be a good idea. Although don't restore your GB Titanium backup on ICS, it will create issues.

You should EVER install without settings if you change your base!
Try ICS out. I tested several ICS Roms but for me ICS on Galaxy1 is only to see, what is ICS.
I`m back to GB with Galaxy1, Galaxy Note and Iconia A500.

What are your reasons to go back? Was it not stable enough, or battery drain?

For now the CM9 nighltlies are working fine for me no issue.the battery is also fine runs for around 12-15 hours moderate to high use with semaphore kernel 1.1.1s.i tried a DOCMaster's rom also it also great...SLIM ICS is also good but if you are new to flashing you will have some difficulties in it since the dpi is 182 in it and some market apps wont be compatible.Onecosmic was great but since there is no new development i wont recommend it.For now CM9 with Semaphore kernel.Waiting for Gamerzrom with ICS

Exactly what i tought about ICS, until i gave TWICS a try.
I'm on TWICS 2.5, its fast, Battery fine (like Stock JVT) , no FCs., no Lags (after switching from TW4 to Apex launcher).
I use my phone mostly for calls,SMS and a little Tapatalk, no Facebook.
Don't get Faceunlock working, maybe a Face problem *g*, i don't care.
Thats my experience, other user reports some problems with Battery life, check the TWICS-Thread.

Hi!
With ALL ICS Roms on all devices i got a worse Benchscore on QS, Antutu, CF Bench and Vellamo. The "feeling" is even slower too. ALL Roms are buggy. Nice to see what is ICS and nice for flashaholics like me, but nothing for stable daily use. DK 3 is ok- no battery drain- but bugs too. The DK 4 and 5 is poor and DK 5.5 ok but slower than 3 and GB.

You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
ICS is perfectly suitable for daily use on your phone. Not only is it smoother than GB, it looks better. And there aren't really any bugs. None that you'll see with normal use. It's perfectly stable.
Pick a ROM, any ROM. SlimICS is great; Dark Knight seems popular; CM9 and AOKP work wonders. Take your pick and never look back to the past that was Gingerbread.

I think CM9 is the best. I definitely recommend ICS as it has hardware acceleration and is sooo fast!

There's nothing like ICS isn't stable.. There are loads of roms to choose from.. I'm on ICS 333 for a week now and i haven't faced any bugs, lag or fc..
Everyone has their own views.. I think the best option is to try it out on your own n make your choice.. If you like ICS, great! If not, you can always switch back using a nandroid backup..
Enjoy!!

Doesn't matter, just flash Semaphore. It does. And it's one of the top ICS kernels.

The original release of Samsung Galaxy S [GT-I9000] has come a long way and still powerful enough to accommodate the latest Android release - Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x.
Read my article here:
https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-x-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.83/

Sorry, but not my view to ICS.
Since today I got the official german ICS for Galaxy Note and now i know, WHY there is no really good ICS Custom Rom for any device!
ICS is the future? LOL
Only on 5 percent of android devices, months later as planned and in a few month jellybean release.

I suggest Elite GTi9000_IMM76K_RC_1.2

Looking for a stable rom for my 70 year old Father

Hello I am looking for a Rom that will not freeze up. A stable and fast Rom and Kernel combo. My father is 70 and when it freezes up on him you can imagine the distress and 20 phone calls i receive from him. Please can someone advice on the most stable rom there is on xda for the i9000. I am more concerned about stability than speed. Altho a bit of both would be nice. Even if I could have one with the latest firmware and still be stable would be a bonus. But i do understand the limits with the hardware and porting issues.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Edit: This post needs moving to Q&A sorry to the forum admins.

You can flash cm10.1 rc2 for more stable rom, cm10.1 is better than cm10.0
For stock setting I mean stock kernel

Use cm10.1 with stock setting its fast and very stable if you want custom kernel then flash semaphore

semaphore kernel one of the best kernel for sgs, and im using it as u can see in my sign. but because its for your father i prefer to stay with stock, or you can use semaphore its v.stable but don't use live oc because its phone independent and may cause soft reboot

I installed it and wow its fast. Also how nice is CM10. I slapped gapps on top to cos he uses gmail play etc. I can't believe I have never bothered with AOSP Roms before. It's going on my i9300 tonight. Stunning! Thanks again for your help.
