[Q] Really getting lost with choosing a ROM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am really having trouble choosing a ROM.
There are so many..
I currently have TsunamiX 5.2.
Which is the newest with a very good battery life, less lags and bugs, Rom's out there?
Gaming and "high" performance are not important for me.
Thank you

Try ICS Mackay CM9 ROM v1.5. Im using it, after many JB/KK Roms I found this and its just Great. Battery life and many.other things are much better than JB/KK Roms. Good luck.

Yes, I tried it, its based on CM11 if im not wrong. But as I said before, Im on Macay ICS CM9 since more than a month now, this means I found this Rom very very useful. Before I flashed every 2-3 days, sometimes even twice a day, I tried many many Roms but this is just Great. Smooth, Stable, Bugless, with longest batery life comparing with Roms before. You can give a try, and you'll see. Hope to like it (if you decide to try it)
Good luck.

Exactly.. It's not like I opned a thread in which I asked "What is the best rom out there?".
Roms come in many shapes and specifications..
Nothing wrong in getting advices from more expirienced users
BTW, It is kinda anti-Intuitive to go back to ICS.. Any missing features from JB or Kitkat? Or does it feel the same?

So there is no need for this forum I guess.. huh?
Can't I get an advice? Why should I try 100 different roms if someone can direct me? I would never thought on going back to ICS or trying this rom that Milot suggested.
Seriously, mind your own buisness please..

Some things are missing, but for example "doubletap to sleep" you can use an xposed module for that and works great, Center clock and battery styles, and many other tweaks you can use Xblast tools (xposed module). The only thing I cant find was "Clear all button" on recent app list, but you can swipe one by one...
Im really satisfied with this Rom, based on features of Galaxy S i9000, (for me at least) this was best so far.

Darkyy/Doc/Serendipty/Ultimate/Tricky/Juwe/SweetHoney- Which ROM suits You

Hi Guys,
This is not a ROM/Kernal or some tweaks.
Just purely discussing and sharing some reviews abt current ROM's.
I hope this thread will help for some dummies, or for some who required Stable or Fater & Smoother or much great look ROM's.
This is purely my personal Experiance.. Im not commenting on any one's ROM just sharing few thoughts with you guys..
Correct me if i was wrong, and sorry if i unknowingly hurts anybody's feeling.
First of all thanks to our SGS ROM Developers where they are working nites for latest ROM's updated tweaks or kernals.. simply million thanks to them.. else we should have only SAM's deafult firmware.
Coming to my point,i purchased my SGS I9000 n dec 2010.
Previously i dont have any idea of ROM neither XDA nor anything.
When i googled for info on SGS then i found link to DARKYROM, there i got links to XDA.
FOA i would like to thak Darky as i started to flash Custom ROM after i read the whole story posted on his Darky 9.2 stable version, he included almost every thing like which a new guy can easily understand.
9.2 Darky ROM really rocks. Then i moved to DOC's thread,
oh man here u can cook ur own stuff... u ll get here any ROM/CSC/MODEM... this is purely awesome like a supermarket .
Then Juwe's/ultimate & Sweet honey.. these guys are nite raiders always go for newest and experiantal but they ll never let you down.
last but not least Serendity ROM(currently where my journey paused for a while), superb ROM with ultimate fast.
SO my obs are
darky:- if you want Stable Release and want to stay for long time this is best ROM i get.
DOC:- here u c all ROM's and all varieties till last date, you will really confuse which ROM/CSC/Modem version u should go,
I found Serendity is my choice where u will get excellent Faster smoother and Stable and less battery drain if you are with JPY Modem. I mean without any tweaks or some bla .. bla... Just simply install and sit back and enjoy Perfect ROM for daily use.
Once again im telling tht im not Judging any ROM here, just want to Share some views of mine on various ROM's.
2.3.2 is out but lot of FC's going currently no stable yet, i suggest wait for some Darky's/DOC's Stable Release.
I found (ROM) GingerCriskelo for 2.3.2 is bit smoother and less FC's (if anybody want to try 2.3.2).
Same for me + yes serendipity a big discover but it's not late!....2.3.2 will coming.....!!!!

Guys i just flashed Insanity 0.6.7, way gud.. one should try.. just like Tricky very lite but look wise impressed with gud tweaks..
I have been on darky's for a little bit now (since early v8) and its been really, really nice. but now i seem to have cought the bug, and i just want to flash all the different roms out there and see whats out there. tomorrow I'm off to the land of cm7, then maybe miuiand then some of the roms here will be my next stops, i guess i'll report back with my findings
I am on Juwe 1.9 and it works great. Just waiting to see battery life, everything else I am satisfied.
Also when I had a HTC Desire, I was on MUIU and its was defenatly best custom ROM.

I dont want to sound discouraging, but why does CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROM dont have any rainbow? cant we use CM7 Kernel(Kang's version)
coz Kernel is reason to rainbow I think.

1.It's because we don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
2. CM7 kernels don't work
I'm confused why people are reposting the EDT ROM with basically nothing changed. Users can uninstall and install app themselves. Same goes for Kernels and Modems. None of the original bugs are solved really so I'm confused why this is the second such ROM out today.
I understand it's a great learning experience but from a user standpoint it does not contribute much. I would love when the dev uses the things he/she learned from this to make something.
PS: hayn_pryde46, this is not directed at you nor is this negative. I am very glad you decided to get into the dev game and hope you will become good at it. I'm just unsure your learning experience should be posted as a complete ROM.
why did you port this if it has like NO difference between mine? i mean seriously dude not cool.
Thank you for the previous two posts. I recently got a thread closed because I stated that the dev section is getting polluted with too many roms, which are all the same with minor changes. Im glad im not the only one

ALL he did was download my rom, and re-upload it with some more apps and a different modem/kernel. NOTHING MORE.
Yeah sorry most 98% files are new from xwjvb I just used the rom as base deleted all the files but their init.d tweaks added new build.prop and modem and kernel got mtp sync to work and maybe debugging and original music player remember reboot problems with whitehawks rom, in which he changed it to miui apk

Literally just came to post the exact thing. It seems to be a trend lately, to the point that it's getting ridiculous. The bugs that exist are pretty big, so how about we either work on those, or sit back and wait for other, more advanced devs to fix them before we start "porting" and call it our work.
I assume you don't have the ability to fix the existing bugs, so that alone should stop you when you go to open a thread for a new ROM that you know you don't have the ability to improve yourself.
I mean, then what? Someone is going to work really hard and eventually fix something, you're going to copy/paste it and call it an update? Just relax on these "ports" for now, they're not needed at this stage of 2.3.3 for the Vibrant.
so you DIDN'T tweak it as it says in your post. You give me NO credit even though you downloaded my rom (which has at least some BIG differences to whitehawks) and just replaced the files that determine the build number added a different kernel/modem and pass it off as your COMPLETE own work. Mine at least fixes some bugs his old rom had (battery drainage, made 3D gaming less sucky). Like cmon dude.

it's the same thing because some roms may work good and stable on my phone, but they could suck and be laggy on yours...
why?
we don't use the same settings, we don't have the same applications installed, we don't have the same launcher etc...
No such thing. You may try to take a look on other threads pertaining to questions like this. Optimus 2x is unbrickable. Use that as an advantage by flashing and testing. not asking.

I don't have time to try many roms.. couse' it's not my phone. The stabiliti is not personally thing.. like if the keybord crashed in sms (like Avatar rom) I wouldn't say it's a stable rom..
stubborn as hell...
Like someone said, try Paranoid Android it's my favorite and what is important to you, it's stable.

Asking for best rom is again XDA rules, If you are on stock rom and as you mentioned that it hasn't been used for a while, factory reset might help, if you don't like touchwiz, then flash KK rom of your choice after clean wipe, read thread for instructions on how to.

Sorry, missed that rule about asking for a rom :/
I am running good old CM 9xxx. I was more asking if there are any known roms to be as lite as possible and a really light launcher.
Anyway, Im downloading latest CM now and Ill see how that perform I get the idea that latest CM isnt the most light, especially for old devices with only 1gb ram, am I wrong?

In that case, I will suggest to our friend @princesama1 to give a shot at Official CM11.
From my experience, it's the most stable and reliable ROM that I had on the phone.
Thanks, but im a little scared of CM's x time ago i tried it in an another phone but i didn't liked it

I recommend that you either try the ROM in my signature or the ROMs built on unofficial sources.
I have no idea why but official stutters during just any game that puts above 70% load on CPU and I even experience lags while recording no matter what kernel I use.This wouldn't happen before but since some time now it's happening and I'd prefer CM 10.2 over CM11 official.
Unofficial sources have updated blobs, some stuff about camera is broken but games are faster, UI and general usage etc. all snappier.
I'd suggest to try out the LiquidSmooth Rom or SlimKat. Had the best experience with those and running LiquidSmooth + Cydoak kernel atm. Works like a charm .
I'm sad... i tried a lot of rom but i like nothing...
Cm11 offical wasnt able to do 4G idk why (i even got sms from Telenor lol) some roms broke
Almost all rom the same...they have only different name
Its so sad, i really liked statusbar in cm
Ill try LiquidSmooth Rom, SlimKat roms when ill learn how to download it ^^'
In your opinion what is better? SlimKat or LiquidSmooth?

Our phone doesn't support LTE or 4G. It supports HSPA+, HSPDA, 3G and other 2G types
There is a possibility for me to buy this phone, but I saw that many games are very laggy, what ROM is the best for gaming? I'm not going to buy it if the performance is worst than my Xperia L.
