I've just received Age GT-S5830 with stock 2.3.3 ROM. The problem is that it's very laggy so I was wondering which ROM would you recommend me for a start? Performance, speed and stability are the most important factors here. Would be CM10.1 by Mardon a good choice?
I've also noticed that there are several tutorials for rooting on forums. Could you please point me into right direction and tell me which one to follow?
Thanks

Cm 10.1 by @Mardon is a very good option and if you wanna speed up your rom try scripts like fly in mod or crossbreeder
Also when you will install cm 10.1 by mardon you dont need to root it cos its rooted already.
If you like you can also try cm 10.2 by @Mardon it is also good option
good luck and thanks @Mardon if you like his rom and me too

Hmm what do you mean by "you don't need root". What's the installation procedure then when coming from stock 2.3.3?
Which one do you believe is faster, CM10.1.6 or CM10.2? How about CM7.2 ROM's, how do they compare?

To revert back to stock rom you should have file of stock rom and then you can flash it by using odin and going in to download mode
about you asking that which rom is faster if you want speed you can use cm 7.2 roms but if you wanna use latest go for cm 10.1 or 10.2 also i cannot gurantee you that roms above cm7.2 roms are lag free specially cm 10.1 or 10.2
But cm 10.1.6 by @Mardon is nice

Hi guys,
Well I'm a android user and I have a SE Arc S and I know quite a few things about flashing new roms, kernels, etc...
My girlfriend has a galaxy mini and she's complaning about the phone's performance. So I want to install a custom rom with a better performance but I know little about the "how to" in Samsung.
I've searched but I couldn't find any tutorial. Can someone post a link please?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the tutorials but in SE phone we have to unlock the bootloader, is it necessary on the Galaxy minis? Or is it just flashing through CWM recovery?!
Try here www.yagyagaire.blogspot.com I'm sure you'll find some info
If you have understood methods then Try flashing CM7 (or ROMs based on cm7) for best customizations or try Emanon v6 for touchwiz look and better stability....

slim ics 4.2 with seapahore kernel......
stable,lag free with excellent battery.....
Another thread with the same question! ICS333 in my experience is the best, though slim is one of the few I haven't tried!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'd also root for Slim, faster than CM9 in my experience and never disappointed me. No need to flash Semaphore though IMO, the stock kernel also is working great.
I dont own the S1 anymore, but before i sold it, i have used "DarkyROM". This was the best ROM i've ever used. Fast, stable and good.
I i would the S1 again, i would install DarkyROM again.
RemICS v1.3
I use it daily and it's wonderful...
I would say cm9 with devil kernel.
I used TeamICSSGS' rom. Was very happy with it but today swapped it for Jelly bean.
for crying out loud, there's about 5 threads like this now .....why don't you people just read? ! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Well said slappy....
In addition to it, dont ask which one is good as the one good for someone wont fit in your case so best answer it just test roms until you find the one for you ;-)

I want to flash CM 9 nightly build. Which version should i choose? Which is a stable build for daily use?
Also if i want to flash Slim ICS is it mandatory to flash CM9 first?
current ROM - Value pack 2.3.6

Best and best looking is RemICS!!

Get CM9 RC2 which has been released today. Its stable version.
You can directly install Slim ICS. There is no need to install CM9 before installing Slim ICS.

Darky rom ONLY does official Samsung ROMs... since ICS was never officially released for the i9000 , there is no Darky ICS rom for the galaxy S...
Edit: OK so it seems after Darky Rom split and the others formed TeamAlliance, Darky has decided to make AOSP ROMs as well while Alliance doesn't...
Therefore cdwriter was right... there is a Darky ICS...

Best ICS ROM?
I have tried almost ALL the ICS Roms out there. And i can confidently say that i have found AOKP to be the baddest of 'em all. Not even CM9 mind you.
Make sure you use the NEW DataFix script by Windego (the 20120524) and NOT the older one (20120329).
Use the ROM with Devil Kernel (0.79 version) Choose Voodoo Colors or CMC, your choice. Before flashing this kernel, make sure you remove the already included init.d datafix script. (Open the package in WinRAR, navigate to system > etc > init.d > remove file named "S30dafafix)

Yes, DarkyRom is on of the best roms... Hope that Darky will make a JB rom soon
You can try SLIM ICS by karvind. The ROM is pretty fast, smooth and stable. I was using it till Build 4.1 and I switched to JB

Hmm. A lot of threads to read in the development section for you there are. Answers you will find.
-
But as I am kind:
I think the best beginner roms with great benefit are darkys roms. But since u have to flash cm9 to flash darkys v11 black, you can also stay with cm9.
I think the stable 9.1 is a good choice with either semaphore 1.3.0 kernel or devils 1.0.3 kernel.
Cm10 is still too unstable for me, but I am sure there are other opinions.

In CM, you are flashing kernels, modems, mods - via CMW (flash zip from sdcard).
I think ICS - based roms don't need any memory tweaks.

CM9.1's stock kernel works well.
IMHO If you're not looking for specific tweaks, you don't need to flash a different kernel.
what's about memory(storage)?

Storage is physical memory. You have to buy a external microSD card or delete apps to get more.
If you are talking about ram: there are tweaks in the kernels mentioned above.

CyanogenMod (CM) 9 is really outdated. If you want a good, fast ROM I can recommend Slimbean. It's largely based on CM. You can find more info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
Detailed instructions can be found in that thread and on the slimrom website.
Coming from Gingerbread you'll need to install CM10 first, otherwise you will lose your IMEI, which will render your phone unable to make or place calls. Once on CM10 you can then flash Slimbean.
Or using an newer version of CM

You flash semaphore the same way you flashed your rom and it will replace stock cm kernel your rom will stay the same make sure you flash the right version to avoid any bricking. It makes cm run better. Overclock depends on your phone some people can overclock high some not so much. Download semaphore changer governor to sio and liveoc to 110% and set min frequenci 400Mhz. That should be enough to make it supper smooth

I don't get it why do you want to flash another kernel? Aren't you happy now with smooth CM10.1x? Here on this forum are many flashing freaks who flash and overclock their phones until the device completely crashes.
CM10.1x is excellent already way it is, if you want to even improve it (first of all to get about double battery life) just upgrade it to the newest nightly version of CM10.2 tomorrow (build 20130828), it will finally have all bigger bugs fixed. Very soon, stable CM.10.2 build will be released out of this nightly. This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385178
If you want to do it, just mind that the developer (pawitp) doesn't mention anymore installing gapps, so this would be the workflow from your present ROM:
Do a Nandroid Backup of your CM10.1.2 build before the upgrade!
Go to CWM recovery mode and check first in "install zip" if your zips of the CM10.2 and Gapps for 4.3 are visible on your internal SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
Install the nightly ROM zip from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Install Gapps for CM10.2 (Android version 4.3) while still in recovery
Restore /data from Nandroid Backup (the update will wipe your /data) while still in recovery
Reboot system
The partition layout of CM10.2 (beginning from 20130816 nightly) differs of that of CM10/CM10.1. The first install will wipe your /data to switch to the new layout, but after that you may use CWM to restore/backup data of CM10/10.1/10.2 (in CWM recovery under "advanced restore" then "restore data" from your CM10.1 nandroid backup)
This way done, you should have all data, wallpaper, widgets and apps like in your CM10.1 right after the reboot. And wait until tomorrow, when the 20130828 nightly gets released. I've been using "buggy" builds (nightlies between 24 and 27 Aug) without any problems, but some people had problems with them.
I currently have the JB based SweetRom v7 installed on my Galaxy Note.
Recently it was pointed out to me by a friend that CM based ROMs have a better functionality and are easier to use. Me, never having used a CM based ROM (not even on a friend's phone), am kind of in a dilemma whether or not to switch.
It would be of great help if you could help me out with the Pros and Cons of both JB based and CM based ROMs and if I should give CM a try. Also, a list (If possible) about the features which might not work/are absent from CM based ROMs..
Also, an elaborate guide to switching from JB to CM and a ROM suggestion for a first-time CM user will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance guys.

I'll answer part of your question. If you switch to a CM-based ROM, you won't be able to use S Pen-based apps such as the S Note, as it is tightly integrated into Touchwiz.
4.1.2 JB LT4 Union ROM v7, LT3 Modem, PhilZ LT4 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)
Will i not be able to use only the apps or the S-Pen as a whole?

You would not be able to use Samsung applications for S-pen but you can use their alternatives from play store, also FM does not work but you can use Spirit FM, No Wi-Fi Direct but you can use the alternatives from play store.
Edit: Just so that you know, CM based roms are much faster and smother than the TW or stock rom. Also has lot more customisation to it compared to TW. TW also has customization but you will have to apply then or use a customized TW rom.

Yep, as already was said here, the spen apps, and functionality like scrolling, hovering stuff doesn't work.
Not every ROM is the same, so ones can be faster and others slower.
If You would like to have many many options I would recommend You to flash the jellybam ROM. It's slower but greater.
You may also try android 4.3
Okay, So I finally decided to go with JB 4.2.2 SuperNexus ROM.
I'm still confused about how to flash it. I've gone through the procedure and I understand it all but I'm now sure how to Switch from Philz recovery to CWM recovery?
I know this sounds stupid but this is the only thing keeping me from flashing the CM Rom.
Do I flash a CM based kernel to change from Philz recovery to CWM or is there something more?
Help will be greatly appreciated!
As for note the recovery is in the kernel, you will need to flash a cm kernel.
But you could directly flash it using philz recovery. When the rom installs it will install cm kernel and overwrite philz kernel.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I just need to flash the ROM and Gapps through Philz recovery to get it working?
All that head-banging went in vain, I guess -_-
Thanks a ton!
it wont go in vain.. will come handy some day,. there was an issue with Philz recovery not able to install CM/AOSP roms.. (error 7). which was resolved in the latter updates,, if you get the same error ... then flash a CM kernel first and then reboot recovery and flash the rom.
