What is the best JB ROM for Cappy
Add further notes as you like
If I was on my computer I would copy and paste links to all the threads exactly like this that have been locked.
People will tell you to flash and see, and that the best one is the one that works best for you and your phone.
Try Nygfans JB 2.9.7 miui ROM , fast,stable, JB control , etc.. then again all suffer the no datadata unless you want you can try the helly Beans or salty they are all stable and have datadata oh and Dont forget LANIGHT ..pretty good too, but you won't know which one you like better till you try them.

I just tried Lanight and it truly is buttery smooth. Faster than everything I've tried before (stock 2.3, cm9).
Helly Bean is great. Smooth and stable, but stay away from the "test" roms.

Best ROM threads are now allowed here, it's a personal decision after researching and then testing.

Hi, I'm noob in sansung galaxy S rooms.
Which rom is the best for you?
Stable (for dialy use) and very smooth.
And which Kernel?
Cheerss!
Jw4 or jw5 with semaphore is rock solid, remove bloatware, apply themes and cool hacks

Just went from ICSSGS (onecosmic) 4.2 to this rom:
ICS333 RC1.1 by Team 3xtr3m3
its an ICS 4.0.4 ROM which works brilliantly. I switched from ICSSGS because they are still stuck on ICS 4.0.3 although I must say that one works just fine too!
its an AOSP rom, meaning that its trying to be as close to how google releases ICS themselfs. They made some enhancements, like a brightness slider in the pulldown menu etc, but they really work well and they dont "over do" it with extras.
Together with the newest Semaphore kernel this works like a charm.

I can really recommend this combination.
Good luck with finding a ROM that works well for you!
Ps. It is kinda hard to define which rom is "best". Different Roms offer different kind of stuff. I like my ROM to be as clean as possible with not to many frills. Other people might want to have buttons for everything . Its just what you personally prefer. I suggest you read the ROM threads in the android dev section. Most of the time you can get a good glimpse about what a certain ROM offers and how stable or buggy it generally is by the first post and the suggestions / replies that are posted by users.
It depends on your use

It depends. For GB, Darky's Rom or CM7. For ICS, Elite/Slim/CM9. Yet again, it depends...
I wan't a rom smooth and stable. You are affirming that android 4.0 is stable, right?
Android 2.3 is very good, I never test android 4.0, which is more smooth and fast?
Thank you!
First, there is always a risk when flushing... Do NAND and EFS before.
As for being stable - AFAIK, from reading and testing, some ICS roms out there are very stable and can be used for daily use. However, you should take in mind that while these ICS roms - as stable as they are - are still new, while GB roms have been outhere for a while.
I think that Slim is very stable. AOKP and CM9 also, yet a little more buggy...

Oh, ICS is now on 4.04. Some roms are on 4.03.

I agree with what you said, but Team ICSSGS have never stopped working on their rom and I believe they will surprise us with an RC5 by the end of this month. In all cases their RC 4.2 remains among the best available for GS. Coupled with MINCS 143, it works like a charm except for direct access to ext. SD (still accessible through SD/EMMC though).
When I heard that Samsung wasn't developing ICS for the SGS I decided to root mine and flash an ICS rom and for some reason chose the ICSSGS rom. I used that for a few days and was happy. Then I realized they were still on 4.0.3 and then decided to upgrade to CM9 as they are on 4.0.4. It's a matter of personal preference.

As I have updated from a SSGS1 to a SXS, I have given my old SSGS1 to my sister.
It is currently running on Darky's ROM (GB).
I wish to upgrade it to ICS.
Basically, what is the most stable ICS custom ROM around?
I see that there are ALOT of ROM's and I do not know which one to pick.
And can you please send me the link to it and instructions to upgrading from my current ROM to that.
I really do apologize for my noobiness as I have not touched the forums in AGES and things have changed.
Thanks you!
i also used to be on darky rom (GB). I think you should just skip ICS all together and go straight for Jelly bean ROMS. I haven't heard much good news about ICS and there's so many beautifully stable and smooth roms for JB.

Ahhh okay. If that's the case thencan you link me to some stable JB ROM's?
Whats wrong with CyanogenMod? CM9.1 stable would be my advice. JB isn't much better at this point and there are still bugs and unimplemented features.

I'm using xbean for a couple of weeks on my old phone and it's all good. No crashes/restarts/etc you can give it a go.
Don't forget to say thanks if this post helped you.

Hello,
I'm currently using DarkyROM JVH v10.1 with the Dark-Core 2.4 Kernel (Firmware version: 2.3.3) on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
I've been using this rom for a year and a half now, but right now it's too laggy and the phone tends to hang or crash from time to time (it did work great in the begining though)..
Battery barely lasts a single day..
I'll be going on a long trip of 8-9 months in a few days, and would like to flash a lightweight rom with a minimal amount of apps (aside from music, WhatsUp, Skype, etc).
I need the phone to be fast and reliable (I'll probably be using the WIFI a lot), and most importantly, the battery to last..
Nothing too flashy.
I've learned from a few posts around here that CM9 roms or SlimBean (I think?) might be valid options, but since I'm short on time and can't test them or other roms - what rom / kernel would you recommend to install?
(remember I won't be able to replace it for another 9 months..)
Thanks a lot!
I think that the best for you could be to flash the elitemovil ROM based on ICS or jb too. Cyanogenmod and slim drain more battery than elitemovil's ROM and that ROM is very very very fast. I use the jb version and it's stable and daily driving. Try this fantastic rom

Even though it's JB?
Some posts here claim that ICS and JB are far more laggy and buggy than their GB counterpart..
I thought The I9000 is more suited for GB..?
Best rom for i9000 - ics333
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I have flashed quite a few GB, ICS as well as JB roms and have found INFINITUM-sgs-LBR-v1.1.1-M5 is the best ICS rom that I have ever come across. It's rock solid and has extremely good battery life. Unfortunately, the development of this rom has been discontinued. Having said that, you can search the forum for this rom. Let me know if you don't find it and I'll try to upload it for you.

Though I'm a big jb fan and use it on a daily basis, I am also of the opinion that when push comes to shove, gb is the most stable.
That doesn't mean that you cannot have a rock solid jb rom, but there's more research and reading involved to avoid issues.
Meso, gamerz and saurom are all great gb roms if that is where you think you're going.
Regarding ics and jb, experiences vary so much that one cannot state a logic general argument as to why one is better than the other. Perhaps with the exception of that if you have one of the newer sgs with the faster chip, fishears' cm10 rom is specially built to take advantage of it.
Sent from horseback.
I doubt I have the newer chip, I've had this phone for almost 2 years now..
So I should pick one of those:
elitemovil (ICS, JB)
ics333 (ICS)
NFINITUM-sgs-LBR-v1.1.1-M5 (ICS)
Meso (GB)
gamerz (GB)
saurom (GB)
So many options :silly:
I guess I'll have to research a bit.
Thanks guys.
Just you wait, I bet if the thread goes on for a bit, there will be every rom in xda listed here

I have tried many ROMs but the best performances and battery life are with elitemovil's ROM
Also cm10,cm9 and SlimRoms are more battery drainers than elitemovil 14.1v4
Inviato dal mio GT-I9000 con Tapatalk 2
I m on Helly Bean [4.1.2] - aprox. 2 days on edge, gps off, wifi 20min daily, 3hours talking daily.. you should try it.
Okay, I think I'll try Meso, sounds like the safest option..
I'm having a bit of trouble with the installation though, the guide says -
Meso said:
How to install:
1. If coming from version after jvu (xxjw4/xwjw5/6/7/8):
install directly, if u get problems, do wipe data/factory reset and install again.
2. If before jvu:
-Install 2.3.6 jvu stock using odin
-Root using cf-root for jvu
-do a full wipe, then flash the ROM
3. If coming from ICS
-do same steps like above (if before jvu)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Darky's version is XXJVO (Baseband) or JVH (Kernel, Build..).
No JW
I guess it means I need the newer stock? Where can I get the right version..?
2) Shouldn't I disable all kind of lag-fixes or other sorts of dangerous stuff before I flash the stock?
I remember Darky's guide was preety detailed about that, but there's nothing on that now and I'm afraid to mess up the installation..
3) Is Titanium the way to go when backing up camera pics / message logs / othe personal data which is not the currently installed apps?
Thanks..
I don't have a link right now, but search for ginger bread value pack, it's a bundle floating around here with everything you need for a good base.
Disable lag fixes to be on the safe side.
Yes, tb is the way to go. If you get issues when restoring, enable "follow all symlinks" in troubleshooting options. My backup root is also an alternative.

I would like to ask what is the next best tw rom after Rocket Rom. And when i say best i mean more stable and smooth.
Theres a development section full of ROMs
Take a look and see for yourself, Alliance & Ultimate are both great ROMs with lots of support.

Sweet Rom v1 or v2.5 :good:
I keep going back to Rocket Rom V12, its pretty much perfect with TSF shell. All the JB roms I have tried have one bug or another and I end up getting annoyed and hitting my nandroid backup.
Ultimate 5.1 - Check this rom
Ultimate is a great rom to try its so for the fastest. what I did is installed all my software, then made a nandroid backup just in case I had problems. I did have to restore twice (freeze at the Samsung logo) , which I think might of been my fault because I'm always switching batteries. From what I can tell, as long as you not switching batteries or turning your phone on and off alot, you won't have problems. Right now ultimate is running fast and stable.

Best rom for me: Amnix xperia rom
Dear,
I am a victim of the same,
But would suggest, you start straight from GB via pc odin, root it, move to ics, root it, and then move to AmniX Xperia rom, it simply rocks.
A great change from touchwiz with most new features.
And am hoping to get an update soon with more exiting features.
Dude just try step by step as i had the same problem and switched roms for the same issue for more then 13 times. But finally am stable with the great stable rom.

What are the pros and cons of using 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2? I've been a JB (4.1.2) user for a while and I like how it flows, will I run into any kind of major bugs going to the newer versions? I've read about bluetooth headset issues but I don't even own one so no problem there XD some users also say 4.2.1 is actually faster, is that true?
Which ROM do you guys use for a daily driver? (I have my SGS for like 2 weeks and already flashed it like 20 times lol)
I've been using hellybean and I find it is faster and amazingly more stable but it could just be how I use it

Sorry bro, only saw 4.1.2-based ROMs yet
personally i like 4.2 more, because there's less problem with these roms for me. on 4.1 android system always kept the phone awake but when i switched to 4.2 this annoying problem disappeared. also my battery life is better and the speed too. so i highly recommend you to try one or two new roms
Flashed both CM10 and CM10.1. The 4.2.1. was much more laggy and had much more bugs than 4.1.2 did, so I flashed to CM10 stable and it runs like a charm.
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.
That is because cm10.1 is nightlys ROMs like hellybean and slim bean are much faster and more stable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I personally use X-Bean 3.0, stable, fast. I'm now stuck at Semaphore 2.6.2s since newer versions do not support WiFi direct.
I'm eager to try a possibly better rom, trying to decide on anything 4.2 based.
4.2.1 is much faster than 4.1.2
in my opinion the Ram management is also much better
for daily use i'm running on HellyBean 4.2.1 by DerTeufel
for me its the stablest, fastest and smoothest Rom for SGS
i use 4.2.1. fishears nightlys. after i found out that he uses the original parition layout and my hardware is given, its the only right choice for me. i was on slim bean before but after 2-3months of use it became veeeery laggy and random reboots.... slim bean is a very good rom but after some usage it caused a lot of problems. i hope fishears wont do the same after a couple of time
I can never settle for a ROM...been like this since I got my SGT7 which was flashed like everyday, lasted on stock for the first week. I'm a flashaholic XD anyway, I've since posting this tried Helly Bean (4.2.1) and was amazed by how smooth it went and flawless then I screwed it up by flashing some random stuff and getting a bootloop, as usual. Then I tried Helly Bean (4.1.2) and was sad to see it was actually slower than the 4.2 version so right I'm on MIUIv4 from miui.us and I'm not sure about it really. Will give feedback whenever but I believe I'll just end up going back to 4.2.1 for the awesomeness of it.
4.1.2 has stopped Development already because of the latest release of Android 4.2 version.
So if a user is satisfied with a stagnant Rom, this is a better choice.
A user can just pick a most stable 4.1.2 Rom and flash it, but expect no more Development on this one.
The beauty of 4.2.1 is its continuous Development. New features are added and new tweaks are introduced everytime.
I'm using 4.2.1 C-Rom Mix v4 and I'm surprised by its fastness and stability.
I really didn't expect an almost perfect 4.2.1 Rom at this early stage of its Development.
AW: [Q] 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2
But according Android Version history the changes in 4.2.1 are not significant nor performant. So no urge really to upgrade in my opinion.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
If I remember right, 4.2 introduced the possibility to key in your PIN in landscape orientation. This comes handy if got a desk- or cardock (or both )
Does android 4.1.2 support GL to SD? 4.2.1 doesn't so I'm thinking of downgrading but I need to confirm
