Hi
I've just bought a Galaxy I9000 & wondered which is the best stable Rom to use daily,
also, do i have to change the kernel for certain roms ?
Thanx in advance
It really depends what you want from the phone but... the best full custom ROM to go use for daily use I truly believe is CyanogenMod, there are two main CyanogenMod releases for the i9000.
First of all you have CyanogenMod 9 which is based upon Ice Cream Sandwich. If you download this make sure you get version 9.1.0 stable.
Secondly you have CyanogenMod 7 which is based upon Gingerbread. If you download this make sure you get version 7.2.0 stable.
You don't have to change the kernel for either of these ROM's (or any ROM as far as I know) but you can if you want more from the phone like having the ability to overclock it for example.
If you have to ask... yes CyanogenMod 10 is available but it has not yet been given the green light for a stable release so you may want to stay away from it until it reaches stable status.
Thanx for a spot on answer, just what i wanted to know. Thanx again.
the stock one!

Hi,
I suggest you to use for some time the "stock" samsung rom, in order that you can experience what features and apps you are missing (if any). In my case, when I was on the stock samsung rom I used to change the launcher because the defautl one didn't support display rotation. But this is me: I have several friend that decided to stay with the stock rom.
I personally use cyanogen, with stock kernels. You might very well change the kernel too (if you need special features, which is not my case).
Otherwise, if you just wanna have fun, go and install cyanogen. but be careful!! remember to make a backup of the efs folder (look around here how to do), beacuse if it is dameged during flashing you night end up with an unusable phone...
ciao,
marco

When this happens we flash back to stock with a stock ROM from SamMobile or a stock based ROM, fixes lost EFS info But good shout, backups do save a lot of headaches!

I prefer the stock rom are most stable, but i will root and try to delete or freeze the unlike/seldom use stock app. personnel opinion.
Thanx to everyone for the sound advice,i quite like the stock rom.
I tried cyanogen 7.2 briefly,but when i went to the file manager,it showed nothing on my sd card when really it has plenty of music files and apps on it.
Dunno why that was, anyway back on stock for now, might try again soon. Thanx again.

Hey guys, so I am picking up a galaxy note today from a friend. Its currently locked to orange UK and Im on o2 (going to giffgaff, way better deals) as I have sold my S2, I'll need access to it ASAP. I am happy to install a custom rom on to it. (I know how to root, backup using titanium backup, but I have only ever put 1 rom on a phone, an xperia x10 running cyanogenmod) So what I am wondering is, will installing a custom rom carrier unlock the phone? And what rom can you recommend? I know CM10 is out, but I've been out of the rom scene for a while so don't know what other roms have to offer. Preferably, I'd like one that gives you the features of the note 2, I read some roms have those apps built in.
Many thanks
steve
If you want Note2 features, you will need a JB leak.
The latest is the LS7, there are several custom roms out there based on it.
If you do some searching around, i am sure you will also be able to find some unlock
threads.
use galaxy s unlock free from play store
And test out RocketROM v3 too ! has all the note 2 features
Thanks guys! RocketROM v3... is it fully stable and does everything work on it? is it as good as CM10? Thanks!
Yeah everything works and it is stable also !
Difficult to compare with CM as they are 2 completely different ROMs. Best advice I can give is to just try them all. its the only way to find out that suits you.
could you link me to the unlock play store app? in case the one I used is different... thanks!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en
It requires root yes, But you will need root if you want a custom rom anyway.
It does work, Ive used it myself along with many others on here
Thanks! will have to do this tomorrow then - if it requires rooting - because Im picking it up and going to work straight after - if it was just a simple download and run, I could do it in the car tethered to my dads phone. Thanks!
Before I go, is there an app for rooting the note without the need of a pc? like a oneclickroot? Just, if I can root it in the car on my way to work, I can then Unlock it and have the use of a phone for when I am finished work.
Cheers!
What you can do is head over to development section, Download Philz kernel (on your phone) then boot into recovery and flash it by selecting 'install update.zip' this will install a safe kernel along with CWM and will also root your phone.
Then you can flash which ever ROM & Kernel you wish

Thanks! The unlock worked! Will be romming it up soon cheers again
Just wondering what roms/kernals people are currently running on their phones.
What have you tried? what have you reverted back too? whats your favorite daily rom?
Myself im currently just rooted, I am looking to unlock the bootloader this week.
Currently stock. When i get some time willing to try miui
( see my signature, kernel/firmware are all stock, no 3rd party recovery )
I currently have a stock kitkat rom with multiple xposed tweaks to get it running beautifully. I have installed Miui v6 and backed it up but I am not happy with a few things in it and a few xposed mods aren't working too well with it either. There still needs to be some work done because there are a couple bugs in it.
I will download and install SlimRom 5.1 and move to lollipop when I can next get to a decent internet connection because its 1.7gb and that will take me days to download on my current connection! But at the moment I am very happy with the performance, battery life and general look of this kitkat version I'm running.
Well i didn't unlock the bootloader. I installed this instead: ULTIMUS v1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d58xx-ultimus-rom-v1-beta-23-1-1-28-t3133368
Everything seems good so far will test the battery life over this weekend. Glad I can now put most apps to sd stock, and I put whatsapp on sd with link2sd (it gets out of hand with internal pics and video storage)
I'm keeping an eye on the miui rom, i haven't used it for years thought i remember it being the best one i tried for battery life on my motorolla defy all those years ago.
hey guys just bought this m7 device now i need your help to choce the right rom for me. im looking for performences over futers, stock on the lates android ( 6 i think )

Ok, so the international model. So if you want stock Android 6.x, my personal recommendations are Android Ice Cold Project (AICP), it's very feature rich while being as close to stock as possible and it has nightly updates. It also has really great performance and battery life, I haven't had any lag and get at least a day out of my battery. There's also Cyanogenmod 13 although it hasn't been updated for a month or so to my knowledge. And lastly another good one is crDroid. I personally recommend AICP because of the almost daily updates, and features, I have it installed on both my M7 and Nexus 4. I haven't had any issues and if there is an issue it's normally fixed the following update.

Android Lollipop with the Google Play Editions are pretty much what you'd get on the stock Nexus experience. A lot of Google apps, and pure stock Lollipop without any modifications. Some do have some modifications to them, and some don't.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 is really the only Lollipop ROM that I have used other than the Sense 7 roms, they have almost nightly updates for their Lollipop builds. Google Play Edition+ is another great one for 5.x, you can pick between stock Play Edition and the developer's custom build packed with features.

If your primary rom is Sense-based then simply download this kernel, ElementalX, and flash it to your main rom. It has some pretty good features too that you can pick from during the installation. There also is a GPE build for Play Edition roms as well. Reboot into the rom just to make sure everything flashed smoothly, and then reboot and you can then boot into your different roms in multi boot. Just make sure that if you change your main rom in Multiboot that it has to have this kernel, I haven't found any other one that supports it. There also aren't any Marshmallow kernels just yet either, sadly.

Hmm. I'm currently busy until around 10-11pm EST, whenever I get done and back home I will take a look around to see if there might be anything. If it's Marshmallow based though there isn't any custom kernels yet. Wouldn't hurt to make like a GPE or Sense rom your primary one and simply leave it there, I do that. I use MIUI 7 as my daily driver but I have InsertCoin Sense 7 installed for my main rom so I can have 2-3 other roms installed. Just some advice if that helps

I think, what would work best for you since you prefer stock-based roms, is download the Google Play Edition+ I linked earlier in the thread, install it as a secondary rom and also flash the ElementalX kernel under Flash Zip. Afterwards go under Advanced, Multirom, Swap Rom, and leave it as Swap primary and pick the GPE+ and let it run it's course. Might take 5-10 minutes so I'd leave it plugged in and charging if you are below 50-60% battery. Then just boot into GPE+, do a quick setup and leave it as a basic installation. That way you can keep your Carbon Rom installation with all of the data and apps, and just pick that every time you boot your phone. Plus it's easier than messing around with different kernels on Carbon trying to find one to make it work and you have a fallback stock rom in case an update or something messes up Carbon. That's exactly what I did with MIUI and InsertCoin.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with mine. Not all the time though, mainly when I'm streaming music in Spotify or Pandora, or if I've been on it for 10-15 minutes on Twitter, email, etc. Sometimes when installing a rom and first booting it, it gets upwards of 50C but cools down after I let it sit for a little while. Also, just throwing it out there because I love the app, if you have $7 you're willing to spend MyBackup Pro is fantastic for backing up everything if you change the rom you use the most. Like data, apps with the app data (not every app backs up the data though) and just like everything else. There's also a free one if you don't care about app data which I'd actually recommend trying that out first. Spares a hell of a lot of time for downloading apps every time. I promise I am no way affiliated with them, like I really feel bad "advertising" them even though I'm not. It's just my favorite backup app xD. Titanium backup is another good one but I haven't used it's backup stuff. Mods you can feel free to edit this if you don't see it fit.
My phone went mad and downloaded 6.80gb stuff from online wasting my this month data package so i decided to update newest Chroma (about year old) to 7.1.1 stock rom + TWRP recovery + Franco kernel. As usually that felt like downgrade.
- Battery not shown as percentage
- Camera sound
- No dark/black theme
Many other issues cames too even i have used phone like 30min so i thought no point change settings more than that. I dont understand how hard can it be google to even try. I first time used android when it was something like 2.2.2 and still wondering same issues what i did then. I went from iPhone 2g to android and still miss what apple had by then and what android does not have even now but no can do.
I am not heavy user of my phone. I just want basic things to work. Is there some custom rom which is like chroma. I liked how chroma was like allmost stock rom but with couple of custom settings but its no longer continued so is there any rom which have taken it spot?
Wow, you went from a custom ROM to stock and you are missing features? Who would've guessed that?!?!
Sorry for the sarcasm lol. Flash literally any custom ROM and you should have those features. Most, if not all, N ROMs have Substratum/OMS which will allow for dark themes. Battery percentage should also be included in every ROM. Camera sound should be in most ROMs. As for me I'm still on Resurrection Remix M + xposed framework, which in my opinion has the most customization out of any possible Nexus 6 setup in the world.
I would suggest Pure Nexus to you which in my opinion is the closest to Chroma. But make a Nandroid backup and flash a few until you see what you like. Also checkout this YouTube channel which is amazing. @glockman4519 does awesome ROM overview videos if you want to get a feeler for something before flashing it.

Do you refer to the camera shutter sound? If yes, you can't remove the sound on latest stock camera app...
I go with pure Nexus. Thanks for tip. I dont understand most of custom roms which are allways full of bugs. I never understanded either why there is need for over 10 diffrent rom for one device. Developers should work together and there would be only couple of very good roms to choose from but i know its hard people to work together so aint gonna happen
Running Pure Nexus on my wife's Shamu and on my angler. You shouldn't be disappointed. Just as you, i like simple cosmetic tweaks, dark themes, and it does the job. :good:
Resurrection Remix, @Neo style is my current dd. Every customization you could ever want is in there, but there are many great ROMs. PN is one that if you came from Chroma, you'll like. Nitrogen is good, et al. Just read the threads and give them a shot

Sounds to me that you are going to like Pure Nexus since it has that Stock look and feel you want but with some extra and PN has extras.
The nice thing is you can pick and choose what features you want to run so you are in controle.
The rom does not come rooted because @BeansTown106 has decided that too many users are looking to pass the Safety Net Check for apps like Google Pay and some others that require your device be unaltered from stock. But if you want to run Substratum, you can either flash Chainfire's SuperSu sr3 v2.79 (or any systems suoerSu) or even flash Magisk Systems Root (I think it is up to v10 now) and that will allow for theming with Substratum.
That should get you pretty close, of not better than you g had with Chroma. PN is one of the most stable N roms out for the Nexus devices that I know. Another great rom would be SiX rom... But that is a whole nother story : )
I´ve been using Pure Nexus two days now. It seems usable but i dont know is it the 7.1.1 or the franco kernel or something like that but im having performance issues. Even clash of clans in own city does not work smoothly. Also camera shutter sound cannot be disabled. Otherwise i think all works as supposed to. When i installed rom i did clean install. I formated whole device including internal memory. Then i installed Pure nexus 7.1.1 + Full dynamic gapps + Franco newest kernel + Supersu
Anyone know whats the best kernel or do i just have to wait for updates on both rom and kernel?
EDIT: i will be now on pure nexus thread. Thanks for help.
@HTC Tytn user 188
The camera shutter sound can't be disabled with stock camera on 7.x Roms.
For performance issues, maybe try asking in The Rom/Kernel thread.
A combination you should test:
Crdroid rom, elementalx kernel, crystal tronik dark 12 substratum theme and latest beta nova launcher
gives me a lot of customizations, dark+blue look and good battery/performance
Works solid for me !
