Hi everyone!

Im using miui 2.3.16 + etana kernel with lite battery mod. No issues found.

I vote for this.
but if you don't use any video recording, CM9-Kang by owain already can be used for daily.
it's fast & stable enough if using default config.

I'm pretty happy with what I have in my sig.
However, I would test drive the phone for a couple of weeks if I were you. There have been users reporting very bad battery life that returned the phone and got a much better one.
So personally I would test-drive every functionality of the phone: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc and make sure everything is working fine before going for "warranty voiding activities"

Thats also what i'm using right now, also with ironkrnL (80 uv-log-su-rld), Chainfire3D and my own sd-fix. But in cause of the missing hw acc, i posted the cm7 variant

+1 for cm7 kang by temasek (with stock kernel).

I dont see anyone talking about one of the best ROMs with all custom like features with excellent smoothness and best performance....Django ROM with Stefan's or Spica's Kernel....it virtually flies...
try it man....you will know

Anybody can give me the link for iron kernel for cm7. Thank u

watch the flag system!
You have to change the filename before flashing, i recommend to NOT use "jrnl"!
And never flash it with touch-cwm, it would kill your system/data partitions.

What is the difference between etena kernel? which one has longest battery time ?

To me hei1125 does an awesome work with ICS (CM9). His rom is called Nova HD Plus.

i never used etana kernel yet, so i can't tell.
i just know that "setiron" (the dev of ironkrnL) defo knows what he does.

I use MIUI, perfect look and very fast ROM, but you loose your FM-radio.
Good support- every Weekend a new update.
1st choice!

I guess question was about fastest and most stable ROM, not about "stable and fast enough". ICS on P990 is highly unstable for now. I'm using ICS for daily use and i don't complain, but there's always something that isn't working as it suppouse to. So at this moment CM7 isn't only more stable then ICS, it's faster too. Android 4.0 doeasn't even have hw acceleration yet.

Agreed, at this moment CM7 is much more stable and also faster, i tried CM9 but some apps didn't work and sometimes the phone was getting slow all of the sudden not to mention the browser was always crashing, im using CM7 now and its so fast and stable

You can use CM7 and see it flying, but without some of the phone features, like video call (I'm not talking about Skype or viber, just the native one), smart share, divx, hdmi video resize... Or you can try one of stock roms with the great kernels from here and have a full phone.

Thanks for all the replies. Will try out soon. Also, I have noticed that the battery life for the optimus 2x is so bad! With stock froyo last night, after just about 2hrs of some wifi and games, the battery has already gone down to 15%!!! That's how bad it is!
Is this normal? Should I return the phone to the store?
Also, will the gingerbread update and/or custom rom flashing bring about better life for the battery?

DjangoManouche 1.1 is highly recommended with V20q baseband and HP SR3R2 Kernel. After trying out many stock variants, Modaco ROMS, Thanatos and CM ROMS, I finally settled on this one as it has resolved all the issues I had with the phone and gives good battery and network performance.

[Q] What ROM for ICS / i9000?

Hi,
which ROM can you recommend? I'm on DarkyRom 10.4.2 and want to change to ICS.
Is there any ROM contains tun.ko module for using openvpn or anyconnect? I can't find any information about this.

Hey,
There are so many ICS roms you can try from, we've really got great developers for our device.
My current favorite is ICS333:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618757
It's really stable and everything works!! There's even a guide to install it on the general section.. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
tun modules are supported by the kernel. ICS333 comes with semaphore kernel by default, which supports tun modules.. You could check and ask more on the ics semaphore thread in the development section..

For me there are only a few good ICS Roms.
The best ist Dark Knight 3.
But if you want a really stable and fast System, don`t take an ICS Rom. Take a jvt, jvr or jvz custom rom. My favorite is Tornado.

Thanks for you answer.
I've looked at many ROMS but the decision is difficult. My favorite after reading the different thread is SLIM ICS. But I'll now have a look at ICS333.
Should I use nandroid to make a backup before trying any ROM?

Hey, try the roms you like and choose the one you like the most!
Yeah, making a nandroid backup would be a good idea. Although don't restore your GB Titanium backup on ICS, it will create issues.
Cheers!!

You should EVER install without settings if you change your base!
Try ICS out. I tested several ICS Roms but for me ICS on Galaxy1 is only to see, what is ICS.
I`m back to GB with Galaxy1, Galaxy Note and Iconia A500.

What are your reasons to go back? Was it not stable enough, or battery drain?

For now the CM9 nighltlies are working fine for me no issue.the battery is also fine runs for around 12-15 hours moderate to high use with semaphore kernel 1.1.1s.i tried a DOCMaster's rom also it also great...SLIM ICS is also good but if you are new to flashing you will have some difficulties in it since the dpi is 182 in it and some market apps wont be compatible.Onecosmic was great but since there is no new development i wont recommend it.For now CM9 with Semaphore kernel.Waiting for Gamerzrom with ICS

Exactly what i tought about ICS, until i gave TWICS a try.
I'm on TWICS 2.5, its fast, Battery fine (like Stock JVT) , no FCs., no Lags (after switching from TW4 to Apex launcher).
I use my phone mostly for calls,SMS and a little Tapatalk, no Facebook.
Don't get Faceunlock working, maybe a Face problem *g*, i don't care.
Thats my experience, other user reports some problems with Battery life, check the TWICS-Thread.

Hi!
With ALL ICS Roms on all devices i got a worse Benchscore on QS, Antutu, CF Bench and Vellamo. The "feeling" is even slower too. ALL Roms are buggy. Nice to see what is ICS and nice for flashaholics like me, but nothing for stable daily use. DK 3 is ok- no battery drain- but bugs too. The DK 4 and 5 is poor and DK 5.5 ok but slower than 3 and GB.

You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
ICS is perfectly suitable for daily use on your phone. Not only is it smoother than GB, it looks better. And there aren't really any bugs. None that you'll see with normal use. It's perfectly stable.
Pick a ROM, any ROM. SlimICS is great; Dark Knight seems popular; CM9 and AOKP work wonders. Take your pick and never look back to the past that was Gingerbread.

I think CM9 is the best. I definitely recommend ICS as it has hardware acceleration and is sooo fast!

There's nothing like ICS isn't stable.. There are loads of roms to choose from.. I'm on ICS 333 for a week now and i haven't faced any bugs, lag or fc..
Everyone has their own views.. I think the best option is to try it out on your own n make your choice.. If you like ICS, great! If not, you can always switch back using a nandroid backup..
Enjoy!!

Doesn't matter, just flash Semaphore. It does. And it's one of the top ICS kernels.

The original release of Samsung Galaxy S [GT-I9000] has come a long way and still powerful enough to accommodate the latest Android release - Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x.
Read my article here:
https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-x-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.83/

Sorry, but not my view to ICS.
Since today I got the official german ICS for Galaxy Note and now i know, WHY there is no really good ICS Custom Rom for any device!
ICS is the future? LOL
Only on 5 percent of android devices, months later as planned and in a few month jellybean release.

I suggest Elite GTi9000_IMM76K_RC_1.2

[Q][I9001][ICS] What is the best ICS rom??

Hi
I know there is no official ICS ROM but i know that people have ported it off other devises so it works on the s+,
I was wondering...
A) is it worth it e.g. are they stable and fast
And B) which is the best, again most stable and fast.
Thanks

As far as I know there are only two stable ics roms - arco's cyanogenmod 9 port and miui v4 which i havent tried, but its based on cm9, so they should have the same bugs. I'm currently using cm9, and its ok for everyday use.
Here are the links:

The best ICS-Rom for me --> Cyanogenmod 9 from Arco
Only Camera, FM Radio and Tethering don`t run...

for me the best rom for ics is ---- doc masters V11

Try ICS333, I havent personally tried it but in the wifi options there is an option called "Portable wifi Hotspot", im pretty sure it should do the job

Try elite v1.2 rc rom which is super fast and bug less rom

Thanks all!
but i was on a s3, and i was wondering is there a port of that because that is slick and has s-talk!!
thanks
P.S. by the looks of it cmod looks the best but was is up with the camera??

Someone must know of an ICS i9000 ROM that supports wifi tethering?!

Update
I have tried a lot of Custom ROMS. I found CM9 Acro the best. Now even Camera is working fine (Front, Back and Video recording @ lower resolution).
MUIU v4 is good, similar to IOS. Lot of bugs. (best part they are reducing everyday).
Paranoid Andriod Ecsatcy is a Tablet like Rom. Can try for a completely different feel.
RemICS is also good with Apex launcher. Need some small fixes though.
Ehndroix is again a good one. Lot of fixes. Can also try it.
Now a days there is lot of work going on so i am happy to see even work progressing on Jelly Bean as well.
hope this helps. Cheers.

I would say the cm9 by arco is the best i've tested.

The best ICS Rom?
In my opinion cyanogenmod 9 is the best ICS Rom and there is a offical "stable" version! I tried the nightly builts for 3 months and had no problems.
Now I'm on cm10 and im missing the stability of cm9.

Cm10.1 v/s JellyBam 4.1

So I want to flash JellyBam latest version and I am unaware about the stability or performance of cm10.1
So I was wondering if cm10.1 is ready for daily use or not...
Also I am returning back to cm10 from 2 months absence (I was using ICS)... did it gain any more stability or bug solved?
ICS is indeed super stable, but it is still laggy and games lag a lot on it
Thanks

I tried them all. 10.1 imho it's not good for a daily. JBam it's not bad but I'm satisfied with Nooby's 30B repack with cwm. I was fed up with roms where anytime something is not working. And no photos with such quality as in GB and ICS roms anywhere.
For games JBam is not bad, for sure better than 30B but there are gps problems, call reject impossibility, bad camera,...

Best Rom For Optimus Black

Hello,
This is my first post,so hello everyone.
I have one question for you.
I need 1-2 Rom's for my Optimus Black.
I tested some Rom's, but I don't know which to choose.
I have 2 conditions:
-Rom Full Stable (all work)
-Android in version over 2.3.4 (ICS,JB, ETC)
Thanks for your help and I'm counting for you.
List for all Rom's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268290

Good luck with that!
All ICS and greater ROMs have issues on the OB. I got tired of all the SD card unmounts, loss of touchscreen, and other crap issues and went back to Marvel 9 (GB 2.3.4, with the "There is no delay" patch).
The ROM I've had the LEAST issues with was Marvel 12 (ICS); the only significant issue I ran into was a loss of all touch/swipe input. It would usually happen during an incoming call. I would miss the call, of course, and have to remove the battery to reboot the phone.

Hi guys!
I dropped OB to a N4, but gave the OB with stock to my father.
Last time I came here Huexxx was developing IZS. I saw it came through an end by Huexxx's hand (he got married and had kids if no mistaken).
And since OB is weak on the RAM isn't there any KitKat ROMs out there? Or at least being developed?
My old man deserves more than that crappy stock GB from LG XD
Tnx in advance :good:

If I were installing an OS on a phone, computer, tablet, or any other device FOR SOMEONE ELSE, my target would be stability.
GB offers greater stability on the P970 (OB) than any other version of Android. I played with other, newer versions, and got tired of all the hiccups and glitches.
I can do everything I need to do with GB within the confines of the OB. GB "just works".

I run Marvel 9 and it's absolutely solid. No complaints. I also played with Zeus 6.4 and found it to be a great performer and stable.

Hi,
I have a LG Optimus Black P970 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to try a new ROM. (my phone started to have lag)
Please recommend me a stable ROM that will have no bugs.
Thanks !

That's hard to say...I believe that every rom has its own failures. Even stock roms do.
I've been using for the past 3/4 weeks the latest nightly of CM10 (01/01/2013) + Mackay kernel 3.2 for CM10 + LG camera ported for CM10. So far, I don't have complaints.
With this, I have gps and camera fully working.
