[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!!

Sadly yes.. There's no other way that i know of.. else you'll have FCs on every app..

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:

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

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.

[Q] Can you recommend me a clean and stable ICS ROM?

I'm searching for super stable daily usable ICS ROM for Optimus 2X. And it should be clean of all LG rubbish (like ROMs for Nexus series). Just pure ICS with no bugs. Do you know some? Thank you very much.

Seriously as soon as the orignal cm10 builds launched I started using them. They are as pure android as you will get.
Running pengus's cm10 for the new bootloader seems to be perfectly bug free apart from HDMI but i use mine as a phone.
They have ported the ics camera to this a s well so no more half built cm camera.
No call bug.
I could go on all day.

The Stock-ICS-ROM is pretty "clean", too ... they learned from their mistakes with putting way too much junk into the GB-stock-roms.
Although there are some bugs in the official Stock-ROM. At some phones, it works fine, but on others, like mine, random-reboots occur, and the phone sometimes BSODs when plugged in any Powersource, no matter if stock-loader or USB.
Things did not get better with flashing DjangoManouche X1.2.1, although this rom is pretty fast, especially when combined with pengus77's Kowalski-kernel
I switched to ParanoidAndroid just yesterday, and I have to say it works pretty nice too ... It also uses the fantastic kowalski-kernel, and is stable as far as i can tell by now.
Edit: PA 2.5 is CM10-based, and thus JellyBean ... but it is an advantage!

[Q] Front Camera problem

Hi, is there a patch zip file for the front camera? because every time i used other Rom, front camera doesnt work, Only the Rom stable to my P1000 and working camera is AOKP jb 4.1.2, thanks.

The (Front) Camera + Bluetooth problems are both well known post Android 4.1.2. (i.e. CM10.1 or CM10.2)
If you wish to continue using those Features you'll have to stick with Android 4.1.2. ROMs (CM10).
As you have already noted akop-sgt7 works well with our GT-P1000s, as does those from Paranoid Android, and Sapir.
I suppose the next question is will we ever get to see a working CM10.1/.2 mod for our GT-P1000s now that Android 4.4.x (CM11?), is now out?
Here's hoping that those Builds won't be plagued by those same Bugs!

just wondering
if you camera screen flashes/jumps when lighting/focus changes?
i am currently using 10.1 4.2.2, and it dose that on both back and front cam...
very annoying especially when filming

I could say no it doesn't, then again I could also say that I don't use CM10.1/(.2) Android 4.2.2 / 4.3.1 either because I prefer a 100% WORKING Environment over having the latest shiny shiny, either.... It seems to me like you've been 'round long enough to known that much of it to by now. If you like the (Front) Camera & Bluetooth that much, and who doesn't? Then you had best stick with CM10 based ROMs for now...

Same question applies... Does the (Front) Camera, and Bluetooth work?! If not why waste our time with it?
@Icarus1314; Very simple rule CM10 WORKS... CM10.1, and CM10.2 + CM11 currently do NOT work! Its still early days as far as CM11 goes, and People are working on it for the P1000, but it may still be some time before we actually see anything at all, if ever. As far as the (Front) Camera & Bluetooth is concerned.
After all this was a Bug that plagued this Device for nearly a Year now, and it still hasn't been fixed.
P.s. If your looking for "compatible" ROMs for your Device. I'd suggest you go to the Play Store (Formally the App Market), and download, and install the Goomanager app. Then search for compatible ROMs, and pick the last CM10 ROM http://goo.im/devs/cm/p1/nightly/cm-10-20130203-NIGHTLY-p1
You can also just download it to your Computer by going to http://goo.im and "Browse roms by device" (search) GT-P1000, or P1.
Sadly goo.im seems to be a bit wonky after their most recent update. So you might either have to fight though it, or find a different source.
Sadly Cyanogenmod do not seem to be hosting this File anymore though.

[Q] ROM with NO random reboots? Stable?

Hi,
Can someone please recommend a stable ROM for the I8190N? It needs to be light, customisable, stable and preferably 4.2.2 or above....
I would really appreciate it if replies address the following:
Please only suggest a ROM if you have had random reboots on another ROM, then flashed a ROM and the random reboots stop....
Already flashed and have had issues with:
CyanogenMod 11.0 (maclaw and AOKP)
CyanogenMod 10.2 (maclaw and OliverG)
Light by somin
Chameleon OS 0.8
Anything "golden"
A deodexed stock ROM and custom kernel would be fine.....
Thanks!!

Well, that depends on which governor you used and how many apps which sync every minute you had.
Luckily on custom roms you can change the governor.
You can change the behaviour or disable background processes as well. (I recommend the application ''Greenify'' for that).
If I didn't convince you now I'm afraid I have to tell you that there are no stable custom roms except stock based..
