I Have hard question here. Which is Better?
I tryed
ICS MYTH Its Super fast and stable!
Faster than cm7 in fact
And I Did too tryed CM7 ICS SUnday Final
It was fast but not like Ics Myth !
And there was a issue with cm7 where apps were not been compatible like on ICS Myth Where they Were??
So.
I want to ask what u guys work with!
Do you like chocolate or vanilla? I like vanilla more, but some people prefer chocolate over it.
At the end of the day, the "better" or "best" ROM is the one that suits your needs and preferences.

WOh! Gud One!
But Do Explain yourself
Like
Why would I Want to transition over to stock rom from cm7?
i think cm7
I already try all off Rom and i think every Rom has (+) and (-) such cannot play any Hd game
now i think just wait for CM9 coz SGA dosn't suport real ICS from Samsung..
Sory for my english bro
can someone give brief points of both roms + and -
what meets my needs is the best for me
ok dude thing is ics final is much faster and it is barebones which means you can use it with different basebands for different resultand it has cyabogenmod features like cm7 theme chooser but barebone no extra apps.there are no google apps in ics final.
myth i never tried it but i know it is based on one firmware or baseband i think u cant change it since it is not barebones.it has all the google apps installed .
launchers and transitions are better on ics final in my opinnion .
^ +1
ICS Sunday final is absolutely spectacular. I've tried out a lot of ROMS. and ICS Sunday Final is the one i always restore back to. Its got good animations, excellent battery life,(one and a half days was my best with intentionally reduced usage,lasts 12 hours with heavy usage which is good enough for me). I find the visuals more pleasing that even the Cm9 beta ROMs. Performance at times may bog you down when waking from deep sleep but if you use the right governor and min CPU frequency to 245, it should be fine.

You can change your baseband no matter what rom.
Barebones simply means only essential apps are included.

hey guys, haven't touched my sgs1 in almost a year since I got my sgs2.. I'm currently on early 10.something, is darkyrom still the best? it gets pretty laugh.. have to restart it alot.. good battery life tho. so what's in top now, maybe cm7? Clare there different versions of cm7? (that has voodoo sound right?). anyone offer me a stable rom that won't run out of ram lol?
ill give thanks/rep to anyone who offers suggestions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
There are quite a lot of ROMS to choose from. I have tried many of them myself, and am currently flicking between GALAXYDROID v 3.3 and SAUROM. I like the touches of galaxydroid yet like the stock feel of Saurom. I tried Darkys in many versions, and always found the battery life not too good.
Best way is to look at whats on offer, and give them all a bash. Each to their own end of the day.

That depends on what your looking for cuz there is no such thing as a perfect rom...so there is jetpack which has great battery and you can check to my video review on it and the ics from team hackers is also good but not as stable as it is in beta still. hope i helped

Hi,
I'm sure there are a few threads about this subject in general(!) but I'll create this anyway!
Im currently on ICS Slim 3.7 (or 3.6? Whatever) + Semaphore. I am pretty happy especially because it is one of my first custom roms without any rnd reboots or stuff like that. But idk .. i'm not sure it fits my likings 100%.
I just want a smooth Rom without any lags when I use apps like: Facebook, Email, Reddit, Browser, News App .. that is pretty much all I need.
Would a GB Rom be the better choise? I used Darky before and was pretty happy (especially about the design) except for some random reboots .. what GB Rom would you suggest if you would?
Thanks, rest0ck
Did u try ics333? It seems stable. I also felt the need to go back to GB, but after I flashed that ROM that feeling disappeared

I can confirm this, ICS333 is quite amazing, very stable and very good battery life however, Facebook sync does not work, which is a Facebook-related problem and (afaik) apparent in every ICS ROM. But the App itself works fine so, if you do not need FB sync, you should definitely try this one!
[Edit:] If you want to stay with GB, perhaps Stock Roms would suffice, especially regarding stability... I'd suggest JVT with midnight or semaphore kernel (the JVT specific ones, of course) or the newest JW5 with semaphore kernel

I did try it but ..well .. not even a minute. I was sure not to lose everything (I flashed from ICS without any wipes) but I did. So I tried to install ICS Slim again, hoping to get my apps etc back. I didn't :<
Only thing I really noticed: Notification toggle bar looks like cm9 - my experience with that were horrible. While on Slim my notification toggle bar looks perfect (only text, simple, ..I like that).

"Stay" with gb is wrong in this case
Thought about a stock Rom too but hm .. well.. they look a lil bit bad. Darky Rom looks so good imo - black with green highlights and good looking icons etc. Perfect imo! I can't install a skin on a stock rom can I?
btw I don't need fb sync
Im thankful for any further response.

Now a lot of people will say ICS is great for them, and i was very keen to grab ICS on my phone at one point. However careful consideration has made me decide otherwise, for the time being anyway.
GB roms, especially ones which are latest builds featuring tweaks and other such performance improvements, tend to perform better in real world use than ICS roms. Perhaps it is due to all SGS ICS roms being ports. Perhaps its a technical thing. I don't know but what i do know is that GB can have better battery life, smoother performance and the ability to play any game with oomph if need be and run any app like a charm.
And there are still functionality bugs i hear of in ICS that i dont have to worry about in GB, and a fix is probably coming, but the bugs arent there on ICS.
Now im not saying ICS can't do this, hey perhaps some roms for some people can do that, but the few benefits ICS brings dont really entice me enough when i have a fast and stable rom on GB.
If you are looking for a fast stable GB rom, I'd suggest Gamerzrom, the dev works wonders and my battery life is great and i can run pretty much any app with aplomb. And with his insane amount of free ram, i have no worries with the few RAM-persistent apps i choose to run

Yes, you can! especially on JVT, there are many "skins", for instance one which makes it look like DarkyRom which itself looks like simple AOSP Gingerbread... do not have a link right now, just search for "JVT AOSP theme" or something like that, I found one once... You might also try UOT kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/)... here you can "cook" your own theme
But DarkyRom is in my opinion still a good choice... I would suggest 10.2.2, it is rocksolid
[Edit:] Anyway, you should _always_ perform a full wipe (wipe/cache/dalvik)... If you do not, you may encounter problems
Heard a lot about Gamerz Rom - maybe I'll try it if I find a nice theme (used theme is pretty ugly imo). Darky 10.2.2 is good? What about the newest version 10.4.2?
Elite 1.2 is a very good ics rom worth checking out. Very fast and good battery life!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I would recommend Dmore's 3.3 too. Good battery back up, no bugs and more importantly; essential ICS features are becoming available as add-ons to GB anyway. S voice, SGS3's Touch Wiz, Ringtone, Wallpaper and others.
Well I tried DarkyRom 10.4.2 cause I already had it on my hdd. And I have to say that I don't really like it. Is this charge-to-100%-bug still exisiting in newer GB Versions? I hate it .. and why can't I download all my apps? I had to download mysms through a browser (the .apk file) cause I wasn't able to install it in the play store?
And which Music Player can I choose to not turn on my display to change a song? (holding Volume Buttons in ICS does the trick). Now im missing ICS ^^ .. except for the look.
I really dont understand why everyone loves ICS on the galaxy s so much. I am using it now, but im getting quite a few problems. Its pretty unstable, and compared to GB its pretty slow in terms of CPU and animations. I would like to go back to gingerbread, but on ICS the Play Store is so fast, and the whole OS looks nice, what gingerbread rom do you guys this is fast and stable? I guess I can tweak the rest..
Thanls
Check out DarkyROM v11 Black Edition, a CM9 based slick ICS rom. Very fast, stable and smooth! You will never want to go back to GB!!

I'm using CM9 and its awesome. super smooth and fast. way better than my experience on GB.
ICS? Haven't seen any better for my i9000!
use debil kernel and cm9..
Use Slim ICS v 4.0 or 4.1 (stock kernel) its the most stable ROM i've ever seen.
-> 500h Uptime and no random reboots
-> 2 days battery life with normal usage (sms, telephone, internet/rss)
-> btw. my Battery is 2 years OLD
-> really really really smooth
-> you should only change this ugly stock launcher to your favourite launcher (i prefere Apex Launcher for example :good
;D
greetings
Ehomer
I use cm9 with devil kernel and I get a day of battery with a 2 year old battery. It is EASILY 4x faster than gingerbread. I almost ripped out my hair for the first 6hours I had the phone I get no random reboots or anything, its super stable

Use a different ROM ...I use Remics-ux...Stable,fast,smooth. Try it and you get the answer
Clean AOKP 1.1.6 on my SGS. There is no troubling issue since then. The stock froyo DDJP2 was a big pain in the neck. The main advantage of all ICS builds is its open source so the build size is mostly 80mb to 150mb thereby saving precious size on the phone. The more stock elements and libs in the rom and more ram usage and more lags. ICS may have slow scrolling on some roms/devices but overall its absolutely a try. There is nothing much in a heavy overloaded Samsung bloatware where we don't have so much apps use in daily usage. ROMControl is a very important feature incorporated in ICS roms. LCD density is a superb option for those who prefer 160 to 192 dpi. IME switcher is also good for using custom keyboards. As an example I used a Desire HD till last week and the ICS Icecoldsandwich rom was flawless till the last touch. ICS looks plain vanilla, but it increases the user satisfaction and the true value of hardware is felt. Overall the battery lasts more on ICS builds if not too overclocked. In short, ICS is a platform for all those who were fed-up with the low performing cpu/ram/hardware/software related stock junkware of any phone.
or you could try "tiramislim" itś based on slim ics, but imho its better no bugs, much smoother then gb.
anyway, i think you tried not the right rom. there are so many ics-roms out there, most are quite stable. try different roms, or read the threads of the roms before, then you can see how others think about them
Definitely cm9. :3

Hi everyone i've just got myself HOX but my girlfrend still has SGS over 3yrs now .My question is which rom has no lags and is good enough for daily use.I flashed for her C-rom and it's laggy as hell.
I tried couple others rom all of them are jelly beans i don't remember names of roms but most of them are laggy i repeat laggy that i can't do basic things.
So maybe jelly bean is to heavy what i mean by that is You know just a single core ,512mb of rams maybe that's not enough ,i don't know i'm not a dev i just wish to have a decent rom without lags.
Could someone suggest which rom has no lags 'cuz i'm a little bit tired of searching for it.
I don't need JB might be ICS but i wish to have a normal working phone without lags .
U hope that someone can point something for me ,anyways thanx in advance and have a good one bye bye.
First of all, I hope you're not comparing performance to your hox...
That said, there will be certain microlags, and opening certain apps might take a second, no matter which rom you choose. CM10 roms are among the most stable jb roms, there's loads of variations and re-themes of it here. No offense to anyone, but a huge amount of jb roms here are re compiled CM10 or Aokp with themes and bloatware. Aokp ics roms are the equivalent regarding ics, in my opinion.
My tip would be first to find out if gb, ics or jb is best for your girlfriend, read up on it. Which features does she need, what ui does she prefer?
Then start fresh, find some of the guides here in xda, flash gb in Odin and repartition and start from there to flash your rom of choice.
Sent from horseback.
I found cm10 to be laggy (fresh install with only nova launcher and a few google apps). CM9 is not laggy at all for me.
I'd suggest sticking to ics if performance is your main concern.

I know this might not the right place to say this, but why is everyone so keen on (unofficial) firmware and then expecting wonders? No one needs Android 4.0.x or 4.1.x on an SGS right now.
If you just want a stable, fast and almost lag-free running SGS then you should install one of the better 2.3.6 StockROMs (JVU or JW4(a little less stable but more memory)), add an optimized kernel like semaphore (stock color, not big mem version) and maybe even change the filesystem to ext4.
At least for now forget the 4.x hype, be a man, have balls and laugh at others thinking you being "uncool".
A SGS configured this way without garbage apps could run precisely like a swiss watch.

Hi
i tested gb 2.3.6 jw1 (is the best gb rom), ics cm9 and jb mackay rom. In my opinion jb is the best rom.
In GB all runs slowly, but stabil. It looks lame and old. but some people like it. I hated the performance with wlan and internet. Slower then this isnt possible. Any ICS and JB Rom is faster in this point.
CM9 runs very nice, but some games need hours to start, dont know why. I think some internet validation things needs to long. Ok after some hours my phones needed a restart, but this takes only about 3 min, then you can go on.
Mackay is super smooth, some games work even better then with cm9. Only Wlan is in this weak. But the rest is awesome. So i prefer to JB!
On all roms i had about 200 apps installed mostly games and used link2sd with a partition on my external sd. So it was always slower then a pure rom.

That's exactly the difference. I also have about 150 apps installed - but almost _no_ games, furthermore nothing moved to SD! And with XXJVU - IMHO the most stable so far - I was not counting in hours but had no restart / FC in 2-3 months.
Everybody has to make his/her own decision - my SGS is no gameboy for me, I use it for daily life and it has to run smoothly and without problems. If your phone hangs unnoticed and you couldn't get an important call then it's a lame excuse that the phone could have been rebootet within a minute when in fact it's dead until noticed by pure luck.
I'm therefore even tempted to move from actual SauROM JW8 back to JW4 or my beloved JVU ... but of course stability is not only a matter of the OS but - as Android unfortunately isn't able to catch all faults / errors - of app updates as well.
Yeah You right about GB , i remember like maybe year or two ago when "darkyrom" crue uploaded their gb roms every single day and SGS was so fast.
Now all JB roms are lagy for me and i'm going to flash old good Ginger Bread and i want to see a difference.
If there is any difference.
Anyway thanx a lot for answers i've learned something and good night every1.
I'm running cm9 with devil kernal. Its awesome.
The only reason why I don't use gb now is because and this is lame but with cm9 I can video record with my front camera....which my daughter loves....well we both do lol.

I give vote for GB too. I tried lots of ICS and JB roms, and all happen to have some bugs, not very important bugs, but some that annoys me. I always used them for few days at most then got back on GB.
At the moment I am on JW4 GB, with Semaphore 2.7.4, and all seems to work nice, Well of course there is lag here and there, but i am on smartass gouverner and i didnt overclock CPU, its on stock 1GHz. So maybe with performance gouverner and overclocked CPU, it wouldnt have lags at all.
Also I really love GB because of stock camera app, stock music player, and sliding thing for calling and messaging. If you need some more information, be free to ask
It will still lag if you OC and choose any other governer....even with lagfix (ext4) conversion.
Not that bad tho.
I just flashed back to gb jw4 with semaphore 2.7.4.....to play with it again.
Anyone know if you can use the filesystem of cm9 on gb? May be a stupid question but its just a thought.

Now (since like 1,5 months ) I'm completely GB fan...
Even i can't believe this but ... Yes GB looks better in my opinion...
You know some people ask which is the best rom in Q section and everyone's answer is the same,"it depends how you're using)
GB is my style from now on...
In ics/JB there is something is missing that i really dont know what"s that....

just install SLIMBEAN from XDA its awesome... I'm using this from last 2 months and really no problem at all.. its smooth fast and stable..
and once you get use to it you will never go back to any other rom even your stock..because apps open very quickly and its to compact also only 70 mb... and one more thing battery life is almost same..as stock ROM
I am on the latest CM10 nightly with the JB semaphore kernel, no overclock, bigmem enabled, and I have honestly found it to be the best most responsive ROM I have used on the phone to date.
Previous to that I was using the stable release of CM9 with semaphore, and while it wasn't perfect in terms of lag, it was rock solid stable and reliable. I would use this for your girlfriend if I was you (as I am assuming she isn't as tech savvy as yourself, so best to stay away from nightlies). I'm sure she won't even notice a little bit of lag. And the usability of ICS compared to GB is, in my opinion, dramatically better. Just uninstall all the development apps before giving it to her.
All roms can be a second slower than some, that's just expected. I recommend just getting her something up to date and clock it up to 1104 Mega Hurts if the screen doesn't freeze on it if you do.
