[Poll] Galaxy i9000 - What Is The Best ROM?

So is it just me, or is there no thread with a poll on what people believe is the best rom out now? I've ben looking with no avail. This brings me to the question, does it not exist because we aren't allowed to have a poll like that, or am I the only one who is interested?

U find no thread because it is biased. Most of the rom's have there own pros and cons. so just close this thread

That's a negative way to look at things. Why is it that people in XDA are so quick to trash ideas or questions?.
It may be biased, but in the end EVERYONE has chosen a rom to have on their phone, so why not share the stats with everyone else? Might help some others decide which of the many ROMs to try out.

I found Tricky's essential rom to be the best regarding simplicity, battery life and performance. I like to manually install everything I will use, so that keeps the system lightweight. I only wish it had battery icon w/ percentage by default!

No "stock" option for the less adventurous?

lol, I guess that is how my mind works... didn't even consider that an option, lol. I don't even know how to edit the poll and add it .

Flawed poll
Rom Kitchin for instance is a multitude of build yourselves roms not a single build .
jje

Darky's 9.4 + VooDoo 5.5.1 works great for me.

Using Darky 10 Final and waiting for CyanogenMod 7 Final

Darky 10 is good, cm7 is better if you can handle 12 hours of battery life... I'm on ultimate 8.2 right now and I have actually kept it on for over a week.... oh and don't forget about the goodness that is MIUI. Install that and its like a totally different phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

i've tried Darky's ROM up to 9.5, Doc's ROM & now on MIUI..i think, every ROM got it's own strength which is amazing given that the ppl that manufacture the phones can even give a decent update even after few months..
but..MIUI is totally different and cool to use! Even though the battery drain is visible, maybe need a couple of charge cycles to stabilize..all in all, it's refreshing n can keep me away frm flashing at least for few weeks (or till the next update..hehe)..

i think this is a good poll !!
if you can find out how to edit it, and adjust when new ROMs come out.
this could save a lot of people posting pointless threads about what ROM to choose and why.
they can see what the majority of people go for, and if we can write a little explanation of what ROM we chose and why, it could be beneficial
I chose MIUI - it has developed a hell of a lot in the past few weeks, all the main features work, there is updates weekly without fail, Very helpful team of devs and the ROM is super nice and is nothing like any other ROM out there !!

For a long time I was very happy with darky 8.x but lately I have been trying out almost all the roms in the poll and since a couple of weeks back I have been a extreamly happy user of MIUI.
Feels like it have brought new life to my sgs, the only downside is the battery time.

Insanity everytime, light fast...make it your own!

Really Loving miui but I am thinking I will go back to darky because I need video calling, plus more battery will be nice.

thanks for the poll

MIUI is the one I like: very, very beautiful. Fast too, loving it! Battery isn't lasing very long, but I got that problem with others too. 7 hours tops.

Agreed.
Every pro in xda ban any idea or question except asked by pros.
Beginners and users are present in xda forum.
To the thread:
CM7&MIUI: Great but to hungry of battery.
Rom kitchen: Loads of option but no GB
Darky: Very smooth but a little hungry to battery.
Insanity: Simply Android. Plain.

MIUI -MCG v2.1 is the best ROM in town

GingerCriskelo v56 is the best

What's a good ROM to go with

Okay so looking at the roms usually I'd use cyanogen on a phone but idk if 3d works on it and well no point in a 3d phone with no 3d now I noticed a few stock roms and read someplace the optimus 3d and thrill at the same similar situation to the optimus v and the optimus s can I flash a optimus 3d ROM with no out of the ordinary worries
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA

Well. Frankly that's a question everyone asks at some point. I did it a few times myself. Also why your not getting a flood of replies. There is no correct answer here. The rom you choose should be based on some criteria. My personal criteria is as follows.
1. Battery life: The rom should never suck the battery dry. Keep in mind its dependant in you following the directions on the rom and how you use your phone. I like to see atleast a full day of stock battery life with moderate use.
2. Stability: Tricky to gage. Must follow the Dev's directions to the letter. Test apps in batches and make sure its not the app causing the issue before passing judgment. Also seek help from the Dev.
3. Speed: Not to important as long as it isn't slower than stock and won't mess with #s 1 and 2.
4. Communication : Wifi, bluetooth, and network signal are paramount for me. My thrill replaced my netbook for al my needs. All this must work flawlessly. Keep in mind there is work to be done on your part. Setting APNs and so on. All listed in most Dev's install instructions.
5. Basband: is it comparable with yours? Do you know what you have? Do you know what you need? Read the rom's requirements carefully.
6. Support: as it turns out Dev support can make or break a rom. Roms can be very needy and time consuming. A Dev takes on a huge burden making then offering support for there rom. Its crucial you become involved to help the Dev out so he can spend more time manufacturing awesome for you. If a Dev has ditched a rom understand you venture in to nomans land.
Seeing as we have no clue what your needs are and what you want in a rom. I suggest you pop over in the Development forum and snoop around. Personally The Dark Lestats Kitchen Rom has more than fit me needs. The tutorials he has made taught me everything I needed to know about how to pull the pants of my LG Thrill and have some fun.

Right then thanks sorry I'm not really a noob just having a little trouble getting acclimated a also my requirements are the same but I must have speed and battery is a must

And what about 3d on cyanogen
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA

My apologies. I reread that and it did come across assuming you where new lol my bad.
As far as I'm aware most of the Ginger roms have full features ie: 4G and 3D. I did notice that the baseband plays a big part in how your phone interacts between hardware and rom. Just speculation but seems to be the case.
Last Froyo rom I used was the Doomed froyo. Got all the phone features and exceeded my requirements. For ginger rom I did not try cynogen but I went threw 3 others. Lestats Kitchen rom was the only one I could use to meet and exceed my requirements. Its flexible enough you can drop another kernal that is overclocked. I did notice its not the best on V20P baseband (thanks AT&T bleh) . After I loaded the V21D baseband and APNs my phone suddenly had great battery 2 days moderate use, Bluetooth worked stable and I have not had a single ghost call.
I had to try it a few times though. First reload didn't go well cause I didn't follow the directions. After I followed the each "how to" step by step my phone was cured.
In being fare I would note that the issues were fixed after I made the above changes. I haven't tried the previous roms after the change. Thays why I didn't name them. I can't say they work well or not without proper comparison. I would suggest paying attention to the bugs that appear in multiple roms you try. Might just be the baseband and not the rom.

Lestats it the best there are so many options to go with thrill seeker I think was ditched and Acura team is good

Addiction

I think I'm addicted to flashing ROMS. I've flashed just about everyone I can find for my T. Even when I get settled with a ROM I truly like (Hybrid/ CM 10.2) I think to myself 'oooh, I'll just try that one with a different kernel on the off chance I can get 4 minutes more battery and a speed increase that can't be registered with the human eye.'
I'm now checking XDA more than I check Facebook on the off chance that some genius like @tilal6991 has posted a semi-stable 4.4 build.
I only rooted/ unlocked bootloader 4 weeks ago. I feel I've come a long way!

A test build of 4.4 has been posted by Thomas on his OmniROM thread - it does have a couple of showstopper bugs like calls not going out and screen flashing everytime you select something (there's a hack around this) as well as broken GPS. It is out there though.

Flash addiction is a difficult to cure disease. Welcome to our sick club x)

Thank you! It is nice to know I'm not alone. I'm quite certain that I'll be buying my next phone purely on how many roms/kernels are available for it.

I had the same problem with my Xperia Arc. Pretty annoying sometimes when my phone didn't work properly when i needed it hha. But it was fun.
Weird thing is that i don't feel the need to do the same with this phone, i feel like the last jb firmware Works perfect and i don't have the need to mess with it. I rooted this phone a few months ago but it resulted in a performance decrease. So i.haven't felt the need to root again since then.

hahhahahah...so true! I love your message!

i used to be exactly the same i have calmed down a lot now i used to flash a rom at least once a day even if it was one i had used a couple of days ago just to see the difference the rom i am currently using makes if any or i would grow tireless knowing i have the ability to flash new roms but was not doing so .... i bricked a few galaxy ace's in the early days when i didn't know what i was doing and thought i could skip steps etc but once i knew what i was doing there was no stopping me i became that addicted i was flashing my friends phones with different roms too .... i have calmed down a lot now flashing only 3 - 4 times a week instead of the 7 - 100000000000000000's of times a week
(100000000000000000's is not literal but just a way of expressing countless amounts of times)
i think i have had almost all JB roms running on my T at least twice now i flick between omni, honami v5, and keep trying the 4.3 version of pacman from buildbasket waiting for a stable release .... honami is my daily because i get to use doomkernel and OC and its got enough tweaks in it to make me feel like im not stuck on boring stock rom lol for me im always looking for functions and OC and unfortunatly unless you ar on stock OC just isnt there .... sure on one of the AOKP projects you can OC to 1.7 but thats a whole 0.2 less than on a stock with doomkernel might not sound like much but it can make a difference also doomkernel comes with governors that are tweaked for dual core again something that is missing from CM AOKP etc ....... hopefully omni will resolve this issue for me and i can spread my wings a little once they have a few more settings and OC / governors are fixed up

I think I've flashed every ROM on XDA at least three times. Just in case I was missing something. The odd thing is that almost every time I flash a new ROM, I think it's better than the previous one. Which is mental. I must have flashed Rimmer's MIUI ROM 6 times. Every time I flash it I love it because it's beautiful. Then 12 hours later I get annoyed at having all the apps on the homescreen as I like it to be minimal, so I flash another ROM.
Two days later I flash it back because it's beautiful. And on and on.
*sigh*
Normally I use either peetr_'s Hybrid ROM with Doomkernel, or CM 10.2. I find Hybrid with the kernel OC is snappier, I find CM 10.2 to be smoother. These are the two I return to on a regular basis. I always feel like I'm cheating on them, both with each other and with any of the other ROMs. Again, this is mental!
Very excited for when the T gets 4.3 and we get a kernel that can be OC!
Also, I like the XDA community. Every seems nice and chilled. Generally.

im not always nice and chilled i get annoyed at noobs who ask things that have been answered hundreds of times or state something as a fact when the rest of the world know it is something completely different but i try to keep a lid on it although im sure it hasnt gone unnoticed when i have let off the steam lol .... MIUI is a really tasty rom and is real nice but i feel like i am back on iOS too much with it ... all the greatness of android with all the rubbish of iOS lol and if you install another launcher it just isn't the same the launcher was designed for that rom so why put a new one on there when there are lots of other roms to try ..... i love the honami rom like all roms it has its limits and its bugs and its by far not the quickest one out there but it serves most of my needs out the box i just wish somebody would fix up pacman rom on 4.3 had repeated problems with it not restarting instead going into bootloop after installing roms .... i will openly admit i don't know everything as i can not build my own rom i wish i knew how as i would gladly take on building pacman rom 4.3 .... anyway enjoy your T flash until you discover that magic rom .... it might even be 4.4 once they have that up and running smoothly .... once omni gets its features that will almost certainly become my daily but its just a little basic for my needs at the current time lol .... if i can help out in any ways just give me a shout i might be able to help if not im sure somebody else will be able to between the who communities collective there is a vast amount of knowledge to be tapped into

I had this impression regarding Greenify, especially since the auto-greenify feature is implemented. I can't imagine that rooting would slow down the phone.
Actually my V's stock ROM is a very good compromise in between performance, stability and fluid use. The 4.12 is rock solid and virtually lag free on my device. Well I flashed Honami Experience, but that is stock based.

Yes, it is very hard to resist this addiction ..I even infected my GF. She have Galaxy mini (terrible display) with CM10.1 some mods ..still better than stock sammy ROM.
Before Xperia T I have ACE 2 and I hated that lack of ROMs on this phone. So , after 5 months with this phone i bought T. and now I am in paradise .
Almost every day a CM or Miui update and now i flashed OmniROM from Tilal.. What a great feeling with 4.4.

Thanks OP for this Rom, made me smile
In truth, I have gone completely the other way, I used to be a flashaholic and flash new roms daily, it started with the X10 and i then bought an Xperia T off the shelf just so I could unlock the B/L - having played with everything there is to offer on here for the last year I finally trailed off flashing and the other day I flash an official stock Rom and re-locked my bootloader so as to get official 4.3 through SEUS or PCC

Now back to eagerly awaiting my 4.3 update...

[Q] Which firmware?

Hello,
I'm thinking about installing a custom firmware on my 4X HD, but am unsure which one to go for. My priorities in order are:
1) Stable and fully functional.
2) Game performance
3) Battery life.
4) Easy to install.
Can anyone suggest which firmware I should install? Currently I am running the stock ICS firmware, as I have heard bad things about the official 4.1 JB update.

Sorry man, to be honest every ROM has its pro's and cons, just read the threat and try
And beside the ROM you got a kernel top who has influence on battery an stability
So my opinion (yes its a lot of work) read and try.

Stock ICS. You didn't want to update to Jelly Bean?
I got my Optimus 4x back yesterday after sending it for repair. It got sent with JB,came back with ICS
It's now been bootloader unlocked, rooted and installed Optimus Prime kernel. I did leave the standard ROM on there.
I'm just leaving it like that for the time being and seeing how the performance is.

You should install CM 10.2 and Optimus Prime kernel.It has best battery life/performance.It is good for gaming (doesn't lag in most games)But if you want to OC GPU , which increases performance a lot considering we have it on 416 mhz default, go for werewolfJB.I have underclocked my CPU to 1.4 ghz, OCd my GPU to 600 mhz on 1325 mV.Also undervolted my CPU by -65 mV.Optimus prime is a pretty good kernel, but it has 520 mhz max for GPU clock and it isn't enough in some games, atleast for me.You'll need to check anykernel topic if you are to install these kernels as they won't work in CM 10.2 unless you download them from that topic.

u cant install a stable rom and have game perfomance. and u cant install rom for battery life and have game perfomane. but u can install one for game perfomance and use greenify to hybernate apps and deep sleep battery saver app to force it sleep immidiately so it doesnt drain battery.

Hence why I ordered my requirements. Stable and fully functional is my top priority. Taking account only the roms that are stable and fully functional, out of those, which have the best gaming performance (my 2nd in the list)? Out of those that remain, which have the best battery life? And if we still have more than 1 option at this point, which is easier to install?

This is too close to a "Best ROM" thread. Just try different ROMs for yourself and judge them based on what you find. Other people's opinions are subjective and may not be the same as yours.

Furthermore, it's not only a matter of "best ROM" (ie.: rules) it's the fact that this is not a ROM supermarket, and people are here because they like to develop and make experiments. Even if I have the greatest respect for all the users, I would not trust anybody "selling" me a rom like a vendor based on experiences that are not mine. One should get in the spirit of the forum to really apreciate it. If one does not, all he is going to get is just a lot of frustration, and being told what is good and what is not would be of no help at all.

So lets set him on fire and dance around him since that will change everithing."Best rom/s theads are not alowed on this forum so go into roms threads that you like and read about them.If you like it then flash it and test it.Have a nice day." That is what people shuould write.

Thanks for the advice everyone. While I would usually jump at the opportunity to read around on forums, and even better to try installing several various ROMS to try them all out (this is the kind of thing I used to do a lot a few years ago), I unfortunately have very little time these days for such things due to personal and work responsibilities, which was why I thought someone with a lot more knowledge about all the available roms might be able to shoot a suggestion or 2 my way to at least narrow the scope. Since that kind of thing is not allowed I'll just take a look at the couple of roms that people suggested, or potentially just stick with the stock rom for now.

If there is CM rom on jelly bean stable(I don't know- never tried) i would go for it. If there is not i would go for stock ics with custom kernel.

Is it worth doing root in LG L7 P705 or buying a new cellphone?

It happens that my LG L7 is too slow,since it has little RAM.I thought of doing root on my phone,but i know little about how doing it and i am not certain if it would be a good idea,or if should just buy another phone.
What i ask you is to give me some answer,showing arguments since what happens to you do not necessarily will happen with me.If it worths doing root,then i would like to know which ROM you used also.

As a long time user of this phone, all I can say is better buy a new phone.
this phone is way outdated and can't do anything to speed it up even if you root and use custom ROMs.
But you can use this as spare phone for playing or flashing custom ROMs for fun or education as well.

I just wanted to ask you if you have ever tried custom ROMs like Xoptimus,cyanogemod or the european version.Because you can see some youtube videos of them showing high performances in l7.

I haven't tried that xoptimos, idk what is that.
I've tried most of custom ROMs here on xda. And for me the best ROM was vanir 4.1.2 and unfortunately no one was able to have a copy of it.
Right now I'm using cardoso cm10, my daily driver.
Like I've said, you can op for a new phone as your main phone. And make your l7 as your experimental phone for flashing custom roms. By that you can test a lot of custom ROMs. And only you can say which phone is really cool and good ROM.

Probably not worth it.. unless you have the time on your hands to play with it....
Base on my experience.. I had a hard time to find the right software ( stable and working) for this phone LG L7 p705.... in technical world.. this phone is a grandpa now....
You might gain some speed back and slightly better performance out of this "grandpa" phone by factory resets/ cleaning caches and partition..reinstalling ROMS.. BUT.. I have spent a lot of time searching and trying.. almost bricked this phone in those procedures... MY Lg L7 p705 is now working slightly faster...BUT.. my 5cents>>> buy a newer phone!.. cheers...
Maybe, some experienced "phone flashers" and developers might help you here...or youtube and a lot of google search might work for you as it did, to some extend, for me....
get a new phone...

My last hope for legacy devices was when real ART support never manifested into a useable ROM. CM11 runs great in ART mode, but there's virtually no development for it or even Xposed compatibility. But that would be my suggestion: Find a CM11 ROM that will run in ART mode, but don't expect much customization.
Update: On a positive note, I left my S3 out in the rain and am using my L5 while it dries out. I don't mind using it at all and performs better than would be expected given the absurd amount of time I've spent setting up the old Carbon CM11. It has better phone/talk quality than Samsung by far, and can have a clear conversation while driving with the window down. But can't fix the kernel wakelocks preventing deep sleep. I don't know why I admire this cheap L5 better than my clunky S3, I just do.
More positives: With custom kernel you can overclock several hundred mhz, run memory tweaks to gain nearly 1gig with zram compression, then if you use that up have another 1.5 gigs of virtual memory. Then, up the read ahead on your data partition. I only notice minor lag on my single core system compared to faster dual cores with 4x physical ram.
