[Q] [i9001] Please recommend a ROM to flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which ROM would you recommend for a i9001 considering the following criteria:
Stable
Reasonable performance
As little 'not working' features as possible
Can work without update/fix for months
Excellent battery life
Reason is I need to update the phone of a family member which is still on 2.3.7 but can't update it more often than once a year or so.
Many thanks in advance!

Depends...
Games..Music..Videos..Internet...need to consider all these
As well as all CM / JB and GB Roms look different (Themes)
So you have to consider these factors then its a matter of choosing the right one

Go for JB roms. Just find a suitable one for you. Also, you can flash custom kernels too so you can have optimum performance.

Xylon is a great ROM, fast, stable and probably the best JB ROM ever created. CyanASOP is apparently a really great ROM for gaming if that is on your check list?

Actually ignore my post clearly I don't read that you are using an i9001 an not an i9000. Sorry :/

Well the C-Rom by Aways are pretty good. I personaly use them but you shuld flash some and see for yourself which suites you best.
Only thing that sucks is that you have to complettly set your phone up every time you flash a new Rom.
But since I have tried C-Rom I am hooked runs fast and stable. Games are sometimes laggy but rest works like a charm.

do you feel it's stable? do you have SODs, wifi, or bluetooth issues? does your phone drain massive battery?
I thought the latest PA based on CM9 was as stable as CM9 itself

my apollo always force closes without fail, and browser shuts down too without any warning and sometimes the phone also gets stuck in such a -paranoid- way that that it does not respond at all. no button. but after around sometime it respobds and corrects so smoothly as if it never stopped.
and around 40% of time the settings force close definitely
btw no...all these you mentioned work otherwise

1. Use CM10 lite by bieltv.3
The beta 2 version is pretty good and stable, camera, hq video playback, google now (voice search) not working.
119 MB, along WITH Gapps.
2. Use CM10 beta 3 by bieltv.3
Camera now works, camcorder slightly laggy. Flash doesn't work yet.
128 MB without Gapps, remove apps you don't want. Gapps not included so you can flash the ones you want.
3. Use C.A.M.P.S. (CM10+AOKP+MIUI+Parandroid+Sony) (!!!!) ROM by anurag pandey
It's still in beta testing phase. It's a rom for HD2 ported to the SGA. Some features like Aroma Installer not working (never gonna; HD2 --> Ace ?!?)
Doesn't work properly yet, still highly recommended.
Hope I helped!
I think is too soon to try a ICS/JB rom for daily use so give a try to stock CM 7.2 (stable as a Samsung Rom) or a custom based on stock one. These roms will work quite good without problems. This is only my opinion.

you can use apocalypse...as it is more stable than other rom that i have been used so far !
Cm7 is very stable atm,but battery life is bad...I personally use sgs2 v10 rom and my battery lasts for almost 2 days
I listen music and surf internet..so far i have best battery life on rom mentioned above....and i used lot roms
I'm using FinalCM7.2-RC3-AA-FIREKERNEL-OC and I think it's very good.

Ultimate cause you can install cleanest. Safe kernel and format system and data.
Alliance is good, but I always had issues cause I couldnt format. Also not everything was installed as I liked, becausebsome options for install are available onky throught scripts called upon bij installed app, which is why formats arent possible for mounts.
What's good for me maybe your poison, but ultimate is way the best

Noticeable Lag with any and all ROMs on my AHD?

I recently traded my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket for an AHD and so far; it's been complete hell. It was a mess to try and flash a custom ROM to the phone and once I did, I've found out that every ROM I try (Which is the old PAC by Gunny and the newest PA ROM, all others I've not tried or don't want to work with my phone such as SlimBean) is laggy. I wipe cache/dalvik/system/factory reset and then flash ROM + Gapps. Do I need to possibly flash a different kernel on my phone?
I've noticed with CPU monitoring apps that it spends most of it's time in 384 MHz, around 56% and I was unsure if that could be a problem or not. I have no clue what to do or try besides selling the phone and going and buying a S3/S4 to save myself from all the hassle from this phone that I've had thus far.
If anyone could help, it'd be gratefully appreciated!
Check your governor and try stock. You could also try arrrgh's kernel if you're using 4.2.2 or bell stock.

I just flashed the stock fastboot ROM, JellyBean, and oh my goodness it is so much better. I've had so many problems with flashing ROMs and trying to get back into recovery mode whenever the ROMs wouldn't work. Hehe.
Can you give me a link to the kernel you're talking about and how to flash it? I'm going to update my CWM to 6.0.3 instead of my current 6.0.2 one.
You have to be using 4.1.2 stock to use it. Bell or Mexico retail.

Ahh. So what could I do to improve the speeds like I'm seeing in stock with the custom ROMs? Right now stock > any custom ROM right now because of how bad the lag is, which sucks.
Sorry for double post, but I won't be able to get a link until my Internet fixes. Can't even edit posts. It's in the photon q original android development forums.

Best thing you could do is play with governors, i/o schedulers and maybe some pimp my rom optimizations. Just tread carefully.

Came back to say I fixed all of my lag problems by fastbooting back to JB and ensuring the fastboot files were the snapdragon fastboot binaries/files.

[Q] most stable 4.1+ rom?

Can anyone provide feedback on which of the custom 4.1+ roms is most stable for a T679M? The more stock it is the better. Preferably I would like an AOSP rom.
by most stable I mean
- all hardware working
- good battery life
- good performance
also, can you install roms for the T679 on the T679M, or do I need to find a rom specific for this version?
Thanks

You can't use t679 roms you need to find a rom compiled for your device.
The T679M can use all the same Roms as the exhibit which was clarified in cams a lip thread. My best experience was with the smoothie jb v3 rom for 4.1

Aoip is great compared to smoothie when it comes to features and abilities but smoothie has a great/better battery life and is super stable. I'm currently using aoip with a battery mod kernel stated in another thread and it's so much better but no OF with this kernel

thanks for the link. hasn't been updated in a while and still had the beta tag, so I probably wouldn't have looked into it without your recommendation.
how is battery on yours with the different kernel? I'm getting about 6% drain per hour sitting in standby without a SIM, with screen off, but Wifi on. A bit disappointing I guess.

On the battery mod kernel I get about 10% drain every 6 hours with Wi-Fi off and screen off but I can get up to 24-36 hours with moderate usage
