My advice would be to start with something simple such as Darkys rom 9.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091, it is bug free and stable.
There is no best rom .But their are multiple posts asking the exact same question wasting XDA server bandwidth .
Read the 2.3 posts in the Dev section.

Bug free and stable how come 99% of the broken phone posts are Darky roms .

CM7 is the best of course.

Advising a new user to flash CM7 right out of the box is like asking an art student to make a Faberge egg.
He might get lucky, but more likely he will just create a very expensive brick.

Read some of the threads in the development section and try some of them out.
Darkys ROM is a good place to start for simplicity, or you could do a bit of research and cook your own from the ROM kitchen.
The word "Best" is subjective as different people want different things from their phone.

He will be fineeee
I flashed CM7 by following this thread just a week after I bought my SGS, and I'm chinese.
Besides, you can always save your phone so long as you can enter "Downloading" screen.
No need to worry~
I was exactly in your situation a few days ago when I was looking to flash my first custom ROM, even Darky's looked a tad too complex to start with so I went for HamsterBread, simply download 3 files, flash 2 (one at a time) in Odin, and flash the third from recovery.
The only thing broken on it is the power widget but you can get a more powerful and configurable one from the market app widgetroid.
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844514
i assume you are new to all of this custom ROM / hacking business.
i highly recommend you get your first custom ROM from www.romkitchen.org.
its so simple to make and you make it to suit YOUR NEEDS. great dev's lots of support, frequent updates.
The best place to start for newbies...
I red very good things about Cyanogen and MIUI. I'll try them first of all.
thanks yous. just wanted to make sure which ROM is safe

Lier. 99% of broken phones are CM7.
However DArky's being the MOST popular and merely aimed at idiots who need 1 click Flash (I was like that once) then it is easy to not troubleshoot lol.
Darkys 9.5 is undoubtably the best SGS i9000 ROM Hands down.
Use the starter pack for gb and then something simple and stable like Simply honey or StockRom, both use the same kernel which is excellent and install without issue.

thank you guys! good informations!
for me JUWE 4.2 is superb and perfect
Darky's 9.5 without a doubt.
best rom is from the kitchen rom beta, take your time customizing it and you'll end up with your best rom.
Darky 10.1 is most excellent and very stable!
ive been modding my galaxy for a week and was a total noob before that cm7 was an easy install and im english and we as a nation rely on asians for anything technical
Hey guys, UPS tells me the Note will be here by Friday. This is my 5 (6?) Android device.
Ideally I would like to have a stable 2.X MIUI ROM. I like MIUI so much I even make some themes. Anyway, it doesn't look like there is good MIUI support. So I would like to have a very stable and slim GB ROM.
What do you recommend? Looking through the Android development forum I see most of the threads are about ICS. I don't want to venture in that territory right now.
Just want to be sure: if I am only flashing GB roms I am safe to use CWM correct?
I am sorry this is a noob question but one problem with xda's structure is that you can never find a decent rom comparison thread in most of the device forums. Lay it on me.
only miui roms so far are ics ones
yes flashing gb roms is fine from cwm

You are also safe on CM9-based ICS Roms. They all have safe kernel developed from I9100 source code. The slimmest of these Roms is Asylum. It's under 100 Mbs.
Does the ICS CM9 rom hasve hardware acceleration, Chrome working? If not I rather stay with older kernel.
I need good theme support, Go launcher run smooth on which ROM?
i guess u can enable HW accl in cm9..

chrome works as well..
u might need to use the older version of chrome if u wanna use custom dpi.. but rest everythin is good..

Try Chrack GB rom.

hi everybody, now that Gingerbread roms development has almost stopped, here on xda we can find a lot of rom based on latest LC1 firmware. between all this rom i can't say which is the best one, so i'm asking you to give me some advices about your favourite rom.
i know you can tell me: "flash one after the other and try all ol them", but my note just came back to me after a month of assistance (bricked), so i don't want to start immediately flashing 5 or 6 roms.
P.S: i'm particularly attracted by "AllianceROM v3.4.1", what do you think about it?
Go for RocketROM v23. I guess its the best which i have used in GB So far

Among the GB roms I tried, I like Chrack´s XXLC1 Multi rom the most. I have no experience with AllianceROM v3.4.1.

it looks like it's safe, but since when i see a post that tell every possibility of having bug has been cutted off, i don't want to risk.
I cannot decide which to try first myself: darky rom or lightening rom?
I know you asked for GB ROMs, but I can tell you that I've been playing with Official CM9 and Asylum for a while now. Have done almost everything possible in Recovery, including multiple full wipes.
These ROMs are safe, they don't have the emmc bug, since they're built from i9100 (S2) update 4 sources. I'm just saying that because stock-looking ICS ROMs have greatly improved my personal experience on my Note.
That being said, best and least buggiest ROM for me was Darky. RocketRom is very nicely built by eybee who REALLY knows his stuff and most users have given awesome feedbacks. However, due to my way of using it, or...I don't know, Rocket used to lag considerably compared to Darky...
Best of luck finding what suits you mate!
LE: Also add ParanoidAndroid to the safe ICS list, if you're into the whole phone/tablet hybrid

You could check Asylum ICS ROM. It's CM9 (safe) and works great!

for what i can understand, choosing as your favourite darky, you can tell me thay alliance rom (the darky's evolution) would be your next gb choice? please tell me, so i can flash. i know i'm paranoic not trying to flash asylum, but after using nokia 6630 for a month, i prefer a gb note instead of even minimum risk of brick. thanks alot.
You can try Checkrom HD v6. I have good memories ...

I understand that...
I suppose Alliance should be ok, it all depends on the way you use your phone... I've heard different reports on ROMs from different people, so...matters to find one suited for you. If you want to switch, make sure you carefully read the installation instructions, although most GB ROMs are a straight flash.
I'm sorry that we've had so many bricks around here...they're definitely enough to discourage any newcomer to Android or to flashing for that matter. This is my 4th Android phone and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't seen so many "bricked" threads on my other phones' forums.
I just wish people would've read a bit more carefully when installing...that's what got them stumbling into the emmc bug...
Best of luck and hope you'll find your way into some safe ICS soon enough
If you need any help, just let me know.

Oops sorry thought I was reading the arc s forum and posted my favourite arc s rom and on my phone I cannot delete posts so I just edited it to this

Mainly they recommend SlimICS 4.2 or X-Bean if you wanna JB.

I'm currently using team android jellybean and its super smooth and fast due to project butter. It can be used for daily use, so your wife can call and text like normal. However if you prefer a more stabler ROM I recommend team nyx. Its ICS (android 4.0) and team android jellybean is jellybean (android 4.1).
Ps. Both are great
Just got the wife one of these and installed cm9 rc2,everything is spot on...
I did have cm9 stable but had an issue with ringtones so reverted back to the rc2 version.
why not start with the stable and if theres any issues its straightforward to roll back to rc2 without losing any data etc...
Hi guys,
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, but it started to become painfully slow and it crashes almost every day. So I'm think about installing another ROM, but to be honest, after reading recent topics with custom ROMs, I really can't decide which one should I download. I would like to have an ICS or higher, but if there is a ROM on 2.3 that is way faster than any ROMs on 4.0 and higher, I can install the Gingerbread.
What are your recommendations? I'm currently interested in modded CyanogenMod 10.1, ImaGinary ICS Final and Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I get it, but... how should I choose the best one - which is most suitable for me - when people can't express their opinions about different ROMs? Most of the posts in particular ROMs threads are related to some broken stuff etc., so it is hard to find same opinions.

hello, I cant answer your question, I can only give you an idea of what I experienced and read out there. Like all of us, you have to experience, have fun, and make your own evaluation, I begin to suggest you to choose spacecaker's rom , or you can get the stock rom with new kernel, andrenaline engine and Darktremor.
But dont stay with those, try some more a get back to tell us your opinion
Hope I helped

I completely agree with quashqool. U shud search n try n get a first hand experience yourself. Some users want battery life, some want performance and some want UI. So people review different ROMs differently. However I have created a thread to answer this and similar questions. You may try it here

The ROM Im Already Using Is Tw5 JB ROM (4.1.2 - 4.2.1) it is very fast and smooth and good looking ,it doesnt flash the kernel and it doesnt spend so much battery

I'm using one of those that you mentioned: modded CyanogenMod 10.1 and then on top of it I installed PurePerformances™X.
I've tried Miracle V4 and M'rage. This setup seems better to me in every way, but that is just my opinion. It also depends if you like CM or stock roms..
