[Q] Fastest ROM? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just turned back to my old SGS, because my One M8 is on RMA and I'd like to know your subjective opinion on which is the fastest ROM out there. I don't really care much about features, just want a stable base.
Gingerbread is really fast on this phone, but I'd like to use something newer, namely ICS or newer...
I tried last CM 11 M7 and that was just unusably slow. Didn't think that this phone has a problem with KitKat.
So I tried CM 9.1, because people here said that it's faster than KK... and it was okay, but it was definitely slower than official GB, especially after I installed just about 20 apps.
Now I'm clueless, is there anything 4.x faster then these? Should I stay on stock?
Thanks

same situation with you..
broke my nexus 4 and now waiting for lg g2...
so galaxy s out of the box.
think will try something like ics...

Try Nameless. Word of caution though. Change the boot animation. I usually do this and delete the original rom animation before flashing to phone.
The rom is fast and smooth, currently 4. 4. 3. The original boot animation does cause problems though so make sure to change it.

What problems does the boot animation cause? I've never heard of this..
You're talking specifically about nameless ROM?

Yeah specifically nameless.
On initial boot after flashing it is fine, but booting after that bootloops or simply hangs for an age. I saw a post on the nameless thread saying they had left it for 3 hours I think they said.
I extracted the omni boot animation which works fine, but I have tried others and have had the same problem.
Other than that the Rom is flawless.

I'm using Mackay CM9 based rom, very fast and stable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660668

Archidroid is the fastest I have used highly recommended
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes, Mackay ICS 2014 is on my i9000 also the fastest.
SauROM (Gingerbread based) is the second fastest.
No JB or KK is as fast as either of those ROMs.

I have tried about 15 different custom ROMs in the past year and I have always flashed beck to stock. I find stock firmware is more stable and faster.

Which ICS ROM does not lag?

Hey guys.
I am using an ICS rom at the moment. I am currently on the NOVA HD Rebuild v1.1.0 and the kernel I am using is 3.0.33-NovaKernel-ICS-1.0.7.
The problem with this ROM is that it is extremely laggy. Is that a problem with all ICS roms and should I just go back to Gingerbread or is there another ROM which is not as laggy. I would like to use ICS on my phone for daily use without it being sluggish or slow. Thanks.
Paranoid is the best ICS Rom since 5 days I passed from cm7 to it and I love it. So stable 0 bsod and no lag
Perfect rom

Try xxmrhyde's latest build.
I use NOVA rebuild before, everything is OK except hapetic in game is not good as CM7. I think driver is not full support, alway have problems.

Game is OK ?
I'm using Paranoid with the stock kernel too, very nice.
Not sure if you've made the distinction between the actual rom or just the launcher which seems laggy.
I'm using LG UI 3.0 on Paranoid and for the moment there doesn't seem to be anything else that beats it in my opinion.
miui v4 2.6.1 by bihariel fast and customizable, I use it for two months. No lag, except that sometimes the camera is FC but this' common to all ics try.
MIUI v4 2.6.1 by Bihariel
kernel NOVA EDITION PURE beta1
Paranoid, i also suggest this, i use NOVA before and it was to laggy and cannot multi tasking at all,
Tried paranoid and now i will still stay with it.
(Build 5 coming soon, with some jelly bean theme temporary, hope the dev can morp in the CM10 soon)

Just follow the instructions (you'll need root explorer: linked)
sorry for the late reply.
I have indeed started using the Paranoid ROM and it is not laggy at all, maybe a little unresponsive but overall it is fine. Better than NOVA. What kernel are you guys using? I guess I want one which supports voodoo (I am not sure if voodoo has support for it in ICS).
In my opinion they all lag, especially when opening the drawer.
Paranoidandroid was the smoothest from the one I've tested and it's lag is so subtle from time to time, that it does not bother me.
So from all I've tried now Paranoid build 5, stock kernel and Ram manager or advanced task killer is totally good to go for daily use.
Had only one hot reboot since I'm using it.
I am using paranoid build 5. In my opinion its the best among all ICS ROMS.No lag No unexpected shutdowns.Im loving it here is the thread.

Custom ROM suggestions!

Hi all,
I've been a big supporter of the stock ROM ever since I got my Note with 4.0.4 (pre-facelift). Then there came to UX facelift (still 4.0.4), which added some lag. Recently I updated my phone to 4.1.2. Transition animations, launching of apps, etc became so laggy that it's hardly bearable (for me at least).
Now I'm wondering what are some of you guys' suggestions on custom ROM? I want to stick with a really fast TW ROM or AOSP ROM. I've looked into CM10, but it has issues with video recording, which I use often. Does anyone know of a ROM that is at least ICS and majorly stable and fast? Would anyone suggest CM9?
Thanks a lot!!

Looks like Alliance is a popular one. Since it's based on TW's JB, how smooth is it compared to the stock tw 4.1.2 (LM5 specifically)?
I would also like some inputs on CM9? Thanks!
Best ROM threads always turn into Pissing Matches. Best thing you can do is go to Dev section and read a few OPs. Pick a few that you like and read the last 10 pages or so for bugs. Narrow it down to one you want and start reading.

[Q] Fastest Rom for SGS

Hello.
I've got lots of problems with my Cyanogenmod, and I feel like I need to change it to some other ROM. CM10 is working very slow, even with no apps on it, and CM9 just stops working well after some time (low memory notification shows up = in a few days it just kills every app all the time, doesn't start after reboot).
And there's my question - what is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for me? I don't need newest features, I require smooth working and stable system.
Thanks for the help

I've killed Gamerzrom after 2 hours, but after second installing it works fine I've got less apps installed now and I think that I'll stay with this ROM. Only negative side is the launcher, I'd like prefer to have clean system

I have tried most rom, this rom is fastest you can see that from comment also.
About launcher you can install the launcher you want. Also if you want the stock theme just delete the morph folder from rom zip before flashing
Just be sure that you read the flashing instruction to have rom without prob.

I switched from evo 3D too... First i were using stock for a while, then i flashed cm 10.1, but after 1 week i flashed stock rom via KDZ, because i like stock rom more than custom roms on o4x.
Both have Pros and Cons. At the end it's your choice of taste.
I know I could flash CM and give my phone a somewhat boost. But honestly, I do like the LG Stock interface more than the CM one.
Right now I'm running v20A with Idoka kernel, some tweaks trough Trickster app and my battery + performance has improved quite a bit.
I like a device for its long battery,
Im on cm10.1 newest nigthlys
Running rock solid good
Set my cpu to 1000mhz and stock kernel
Battery is very satisfying for me
I do miss the lg stock rom sometimes but i dont like the bloatware and battery life

You can do it anytime while you can boot into software upgrade mode by holding volume down and inserting the usb.
