CM9 vs Slim ICS vs ICS333: stability - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Coming from CM7 - getting random freezes and reboots.
Would like the most stable rom and I am reading that CM9 stable release, slim ics, and ics333 are the ones most often mentioned.
Which is the most stable?
I could care less about the bells and whistles - just need a very stable rom.

ICS333 , its simple,fast, and mostly stable.
To avoid FC in yr apps, look at FA&Q you will find an instruction about getting so many FC , install the file ,flash the Rom and gapps ,enjoy

Mostly stable?
Also, what is the latest and best data fix?

Cant say nothin bout ics333 but been running Slim Ics for like 2 months without any problems!

Go for slim its stable with no FC,s lag or random reboots
Sent via that ninja standing right behind you

ICS333 and CM9 are very similar, I have been using CM9 for about half-year, ics333 only about one week, SlimICS for about a month, SlimICS was for me the best, cause its actually slim, fast, very stable...., all of these roms ive been using with semaphore. I would recommend u to give a try to all of them, then choose

I used CM9 Stable and now I'm on SlimICS 4.2. Both of these ROMs are stable and smooth. But in my opinion Slim is smoother than CM9.

since I'm coming from cm7, I think I'll try cm9 first.
Any recommended data fix scripts?

What ICS-Rom is good for daily use

Hey guys,
I'm reading a lot of posts regarding ICS-Roms and I'm confused:
Which one should I flash onto my SGS if I want the most stable experience?
Thanks for your kind help
DK3 + Devil2 0.67 kernel
I use DarkKnight 3 (not 4 which is buggy) with Devil2 0.67 kernel and all works just great! Form me its perfect for daily use in terms of stability and usability. No issues at all. But you may want to try yourself which rom works best for you...
try AOKP B32 with semaphore kernel...
its a gr8 rom... not found any bugs so far
infinitum
I just started using infinitum and very happy with it.
Installation of the roms is quite simple and straightforward so you could easily try a bunch out and make your own mind.
Slim ICS, Elite,Doc's
Cm9 nightly

Right now I feel Slim a litle faster and lighter (with semaphore BM kernel is really great).
Remix all the Way
This is the best ROM I have ever tested

My Hat goes off
only niggle I have is the boot animation strobe - a little too aggressive
I am on CM9 latest build and have no problems so far. I was on Darky rom before with lagfix enabled.

+1 The Infinitum v2 currently based on B31 is really great and keeps the battery happy. (With semaphore 1.0.0s) Check it out, some claim it the best ICS AOKP rom out.
I have to say from my experience one cosmics ICSSGS RC 4.1 or 4.2 is perfect. I have had very few problems and it proper stock Ics which I love, I find all the added extras just make problems.

I'm currently on ICSSGS 4.2 with Semaphore 0.9.7. I do work, play games, text, chat, etc..
Only grief I have with my phone right now is the GPS is borked. In some apps.
Can't wait for RC5 though. It's supposed to just rock!
Easy.
Latest CM9 Nightly. So damn good. Fast as a running cat! GPS works just fine, wifi works fine.
I'm also using Infinitys blue theme over that so it's pretty awsome!
Slim ICS is the best one I ever tried. Strongly recommend mate.

[Q] which ICS ROM for samsung galaxy S i9000

Hey guys im new to XDA but im a pretty old with the rooting stuff
So till now i've been using the stock 2.3.4 and wanna switch to custom ics rom
Im thinking to go for Dark Knight 5.5.. which one do you suggest?
Thanks
Try ICSSGS
I've been using Onecosmic's ICSSGS ROM for a long time and it has been great for me.
Its really stable and fast.
Also i use Devil kernel for this ROM. And its increases battery life and speed through the roof.
May be you can try it out too.
Slim ics!!!!!! Best rom ever....
Send from my Galaxy S with Slim ICS 3.9 + Semaphore 1.2.2
Team NYX ICS V5 is the best...best battery and speed among all the available custom ROM
I would recommend CM9. it has constant updates. but if you want a very stable release and you don't want to update it once every 2 weeks, you should stay with a custom rom of gingerbread.
depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you want something special i would take the paranoidandroid rom and if you want a simple and clean rom take slim ics !
CM9 is the best ever
elite v1.3 with devil kernel

i'd recommend docs master v12 with the latest semaphore. i've been running this combo since v12 came out and i had no problem at all. do a clean install in you can forget about fc's and lags.

Hi, I use the ICS333 but to get a rom you like you nide try many roms
Get the Galaxy S3 look!
Hi
Try Slimrom (http://code.google.com/p/slimics39/downloads/list) as it is small in file size and then use AOKP add-on (http://www.mrmad.net/samsung-addon-packet-cm9-i9000-im-sgs3-look-2105) to upgrade your android. This runs Android 4.0.4 and looks and sounds like the new Galaxy S3 with some of the apps etc! Works good on my phone!
I don't stay with any ROM for more then two days ! Have tried almost all roms out there. Happy and next day, disdained , disappointed.
Last 3 days with TIGER ROM.
Record for me. Not that I am compromising or anything but cannot even find one bug so far !
Amazing ROM ! Even find camera faster and with a Timer !
Check it out bro !

Same.
but you have to know that the the ICS roms are some kind of beta or nightly (like CM9).
But if you want a very stable and energy saving rom you should stay on Gingerbread (my opinion). I use CM7 (based on Android 2.3.7) and it is the best rom I tested in the last time.
Else Slim seems to be a good rom - especially after the last updates (4.0 brings some good bugfixes and features).

Sorry. There is nothing about stability on gingerbread. It is very unpredictable ROM. Sometimes great and at times lagging and the screen goes black cause it's "thinking!" And also when it syncs , evening slows down !

[Q] the most FAST and stable rom ?

i have tried many roms but i want the most FAST ans stable rom you know because
the the mobile has a small CPU......any one can help me please
thanks
Try CM7.2 RC1 (24/04/12 version) by vo-1, it is the most stable ROM i know, then just remove what you don`t need with Titanium Backup and you have one of the most fast ROMs ever for Ace
I`m using it right now since 01/12
Fast and Stable ROM for you!
One of the best ROM's I found is called Zero Gravity Supernova RC1.
right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698306
Super stable, and fast, even with the animations enabled. There's plenty of RAM avalialbe in this ROM and RAM Manager Pro to keep it that way. Official Cyanogen Mod 7 ROM so it is super reliable. It's a barebone ROM and fast. I love this thing and have been using it for a good month and love it! I suggest going to the blog the developer has to get all the full version apps. XDA doesn't allow paid apps to be posted, but oh well.
blog here: http://ando-roid.blogspot.in/
Check this one out! It's worth it!

RC1 is an old version...
Its either [ROM]CM7.2-RC3-AA[Update 4.7.12][BLACKHAWK-OC-&-FIREKERNEL-OC] or [ROM] CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE [17.06.12] [FireKernel OC]
Both are based on the latest CM 7.2 by vo-1 they are really fast and stable, RC1 is old

I'm following that project since it was started, and the newer updates were not fast and stable like the RC1, not on my device and under my use, to me the newer is not enough, I try to have the better
@OP
there is no "fastest rom, smoothest rom, etc etc etc"
in my opinion, fastest ROM is PLAIN CM 7.2 RC3 by vo-1 + Skynet28 OC kernel + Without ane script or modification.
but, it can be diiferent with your opinion.
here I'll give you some "nice ROM to try"
1. LeWa ROM
2. Plain CM 7.2 RC3 by vo-1
3. Stock Lite
try em, and see wich one that you like.
It depends on your needs...There is no best rom.

Miracle ROM v4
Based on my personal experience, try miracle rom v4. It's fast and stable. it's battery is impressive for a cm7 based rom.
i'm currently using apocalypse but there are still plenty of bugs and the worst part is i can't use my gps.

I am using CM 7.2 Miracle v4 by itasoulas. It is very stable and fast and has more free ram.
But new rom of itasoulas is released that name is Apocalypse.
I think itasoulas roms are good. Try one of this.:good:
Allah will let Syria free... :good:
Imo, you can "create" your own ROM straight from your device.
-DE-Odex /system/app
-Add build.prop tweaks and change the name of XXKPH or what ever you have to something like "Bob's ROM"
-Install CF-Root B83 (More stable than 84) Overclock if you wish.
-Install Adrenaline(TM) Engine 4.2, after you do the kernel or it will not work.
-Make sure APK's are Zipaligned, in Tweak manager you can do this in other tweaks
-Install Root Explorer from google play (or elsewhere...)
-Install a custom launcher (EG HoloLauncher TW4.5 Mod by Spacecaker (has a new name now i think) Put in /system/app and set permissions to RW- R-- R--
-Reboot
-Remove bloatware from /system/app, you can find a list of crap on Cyanogenmod Wiki
-You should now have a STABLE and FAST ROM
Hi!
I my option "StockLite" ist the best and most stable rom! Boots fast, saves Battery, no CrapWare, Patches for MMS/SMS and some Optis
Test it you will love it...In the middle of July 7.5 will be released A nice rom!
You could try gingerreal 2.0. The development for the rom stopped so there will be no more versions but it was a pretty good rom, fast and stable
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Go for StockLite if u prefer a stock based custom ROM; If u want cm7, the cm7.1 by Grif_07 is actually a good balance between performance and battery life (the battery life is quite awesome when comparing to cm7.2)

Well I'm on Apocalypse rom and its fast and very stable. No issues really.

I'm using CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE [17.06.12] [FireKernel OC]. Very fast and smooth. With this one i dont have miss-typing bug. Battery life is rly good (50 sms, 10 call, wifi all the time, full brightness, music, games and another stuff and i charge battery only during the night). No had any reboots, lags, bugs. Even no have to use any scripts. I just love this ROM. Just try;]
There is no most fast and stable rom, every one has his own opinion.
Let's say i love stock roms and some1 loves cm7. my most fast and stable rom will be stock and for him cm7.
This ROM, the battery last for almost 48 Hours even if WiFi,Bluetooth and 3G is on. And it is so stable that it can run psp games using emulator almost lag free!!
There is no such thing as best ROM. Try and choose your favorite.

ICS or JB

Hi,
I'm looking for ICS Or JB rom 'cause i'm using CM9 nightly but it's old build but i have problems when tried to download newer build and i have been thinking that should i try other roms too? I want a rom which has just few small bugs or no bugs at all. So, should i just try again and try download CM9 or try another rom?

You can try CM10, it's OK for daily use. Has minor bugs but nothing serious.
It's a little early for JB, give it some time to get stable.
ICS have come a long way and is now amazing for daily use. You can try here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...wich-4-0-4-in-samsung-galaxy-s-g-t-i9000.125/
CM 10 is working great but for a simple, stable ROM I would recommend that you give slim ICS a go. I never had a problem with it, from 3.9 to 4.2.
I'm using GNex Beta 6.1 (JB) and coming from TiramiSlim 2.0 (ICS) which are blazing fast ROMs .
Loved the easy installation of TiramiSlim with the Aroma installer
But give JB a try,daily juse can be recommended

For ICS, I recommend cm9 blueberry.
I'm on ICS333 2.0.1 by Team 3xtr3m3 with Semaphore 1.3.0 and i love it. Give it a try. He is also working on a JB Version.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I've been using CM9 for a while but with time it ended up lagging a lot. A switched to SlimICS with Semaphore kernel a few weeks ago and I'm impressed. It's fast and doesn't have bugs (at least in my experience). Absolutely recommended and looking forward to switch to SlimBean as soon as it gets stable for daily use.
Best ICS for Galaxy S
i am a amature with softwares but very much addicted in changing the ROM in my Galaxy S . i switched to custom ROMS in GB itself (Can't wait till the updates from samsung)
I tried various ICS but ended up in somany lags mainly losing my IMEI (which made me sleepless many nights)
Finally now am with Team 3xtr3m3 IMM76L ICS333 2.0.1 & kernel 3.0.8 Semaphore_ICS_1.2.2s. for the past 2-3 months.
am controlling my urge to switch to JB.
am expecting Team 3xtr3m3 JB
Thanks to Team 3xtr3m3 as am enjoying my Galaxy S:good:
I would recommend you to download the newest build of CM9 Nightly, or CM9 RC2 and stay with it some more time. I've been using it for a very long time and I had no problems. Currently I'm using CM10 and I can only say that it's not stable at all yet. You shold wait a while for JB
Thanks, i'm using CM9 now and no bugs! But i'm interested in the TiramiSlim rom.
Is it fast and is it more stable than CM9?
I have no comparison with CM9. I've been using TiramiSlim v.2.0 for a month and I don't complain. Installation is very easy, you may choose what do you want. Compared to GB I can use my SGS longer without a reboot.
Could you give me instructions how to install tiramislim?
In TiramiSlim thread is instruction of installation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664049
From SD card, using CWM I installed this ROM. Sometimes you may have problems, e.g. with camera. So install ROM again. Reinstall often solves this problem.
Good luck!
I can absolutely recommend SlimICS. It is fast and stable. I've used it together with Semaphore Kernel and it was nearly perfect.
Though I made the switch to SlimJB now it is just because of one reason. The available space for apps is limited because of the size of the datadata partition. SLIMJB got rid of that partition so I don't have the low memory message anymore. And it has Semaphore Kernel as default.
So for daily use just install SlimICS. You can find it in the development section. I can't post URLs yet. But you can Google SlimICS and it should give you the proper link.
Slim ICS definitely

Actually i test JB roms (X-Bean now) and thinking about return to TiramiSlim
I wonder, if language pack from OTA (from TiramiSlim) runs properly with SlimICS. Has anybody tried it?
Then we would have SlimICS with others languages.
Tiramislim
Hmm just looked at tiramislim and its based of slim ICS and runs extremely well I say go for that it has more features as you said

Everybody has his/her own preferences. Only through self-testing can one be truly satisfied if it's the right Rom for him/her.
Users of every Rom can say that what they are using is the best.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 blackbean-7
Kernel: Mackay 0.234
Try mackay rom or slim rom.
Also as said above everyone had its own taste you might need to flash couple of roms to see which one is good for you.

Like the posts above say each to there own IMO hellybean (both derteufel's and franzyroys) are really stable but also consider c-rom too personally i would look at the op's and screens of the ROMs that interest you most and ask some members from the threads there thoughts and then make your choice

It comes with the semaphore kernel and a sgs3 design.
