Question regarding "best way of flashing smoothness, fastest and flexibel"

Hey guys,
I'm kinda new to flashing stuff, and I'm interested to take a step forward to try out by myself!
Alright, the question is according from a friend of mine, he told me the best way of flashing my SGS is by flashing the first android firmware which was 2.0 (first one I think?) and then 2.1, and then 2.2 to have best "stable" and most smoothness without troubling my phone to be slow.
Is that true? I mean, the firmware should be nice and smooth anyway if you just flashing directly from a new CFW, right?
I was thinking trying to use Darky 9.3 Extreme CFW.
If you guys have any better CFW you guys know out there, it would be very nice and much appreciation of you to share bit info of me!
Thanks!

No need to downgrade if you are on 2.1

Just go from 2.1 to the next. Likely 2.2.1 for you. Save the trouble flashing 3 Roms.

[Q] [INSERT ROM NAME] would be best

hi, tryin to decide which GB ROM to run on m2
who has tested em all so far? and would you mind
helpin on which ROM has the less bugs and with
the most functionality available on it... cheers.

i think the better are ms2ginger and the ginger blurless
im' using the ms2ginger and i'm very happy

If no bugs is your criterion, then I think deblurred GB by w0ndersp00n is the best option.

I'm using ms2ginger. It's very usable, but I am having a problem where the phone does not recognise numbers as being in my contacts depending on the format they are stored in.
I also had a weird issue very briefly where the screen would turn off when I touched it. So still a little buggy.

thanks peeps will try one soon

It's my first post on this forum, so I'd like to say HI to everyone!
I'm lurking this forum for some time ago and I know, that there's quite intensive paralell development of few mods. I want to completly reinstall my MM2 and - by the way - I want to try to check new custom mods, hoping that there's a chance to improve performance of my Milestone2 .
So I'd like to repeat initial question by xOnerOs - almost a week have been passed, maybye situation have changed - do You still have no objections to sahilarora911's opinion, that [ROM] Mostly Blurless Gingerbread is for now most bugless and most stable among the other mods?
My goal after MM2's reinstall is to have a stable platform with no need to reinstall everything after 2 days due to some critical mega bug .

well if u're on 2.1...i recommend to first go to 2.2 with odin(stock)...and then look at dev section and select a rom which suits you best...
i use three rom's...two are froyo&cm7(2.3.5)...and with froyo ones i have zero problems...i think if you choose betwen these two and follow all the instructions tight....then you should be fine
but it's your call

If you want to play safe, just do nothing.
But if you want to upgrade your phone, do it with some custom rom from this forum. I believe the Kyrillos rom is the most popular (hence, 'the best'). I upgraded my phone being a total noob to the kyrillos rom and I'm very happy with my galaxy 3. It's much faster (without overclock) and my battery lasts much longer. I can do things my phone never could before (with stock 2.2).
Regarding your points of concern:
- Messing things up: it's really difficult to really really **** up the phone. Follow the instructions and if you have a question, search on the forum or ask it. Once you've done the rooting, you realise it's a very simple proces.
- The possible bugs: sometimes you encounter a bug, but in most cases it's no big deal ( some visual letter or icon thing) and chances are high it's repaired in the next version.
If I was you, I'd consider a custom rom (like Kyrillos 9).

How not to begin a topic.

welcome to the NIGHTMARE

you should look at S. U. R. F. A. C. E Rom thread. the Rom is very nice and he has very good tutorials for beginners!

Well, first of all, the latest roms are not always the best ones. Since gingerbread 2.3.4, we've had in sequence: JVQ, JVR, JVS, JVT and now JVX, JVW and JVZ.
However, many still consider JVR to be smoother and more stable than the newer ones. Then, there is also the wifi problem on JVS and above.
Similarly, there is the infamous phone.apk force close problem on all these roms, which was not present on gingerbread 2.3.3.
But gingerbread 2.3.3 had serious battery drain issues, which weren't present on Froyo roms.
So, here's what you need to know as a beginner:
-The latest roms and custom roms give you the advantage of theming, modding and tweaking, all of which are very fun and exciting. Seriously. I used to flash my galaxy s multiple times a day.
-But the smoothest, lag free roms are the Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Stick with those if you want stability and speed. After all, gingerbread doesn't have any important extra functionalities. But, froyo roms lack support for latest tweaks and themes.
So, if you're happy with your current rom, there is no actual need to change it.
But, if you are really keen on trying other roms before settling down, you need to be able to flash roms. To do that, you'll need to:
1) Install Samsung Kies to get the samsung usb drivers
2) Download odin 1.3 or above
3) Download the rom of your choice and follow their flashing instructions
4) To be safe, download a froyo stock rom and a gingerbread stock rom with bootloaders just in case you need to revert to stock
5) To be even safer, perform the unbrickable mod on your phone first, though the SGS is pretty hard to hard brick anyway.

[Q] Just returned to Razr M.. Deodexed Stock Rom? Fav kernel for battery life?

Hello folks. I have recently returned to using an XT907 after I lost my original whilst doing a kegstand at the beach on the fourth of july . Anyway, I have been perusing the piles of recent threads and am having trouble finding whether anybody has been keeping an up-to-date (4.1.2) rom which is perfectly stock, except deodexed, and perhaps debloated. If anybody could just point me in the direction of a thread with that information I would be grateful. I like this style rom because I like to make my own minimal design tweaks, but most importantly it seems to give me the best battery life and long term stability. If you have a seperate custom Rom that has been exceptional in both of these catagories and you care to share, that would be appreciated as well.
I am also interested in what kernel people are using with their custom roms, and how that has affected their battery life. I was able to get at least 24+- hours with solid use roughly 1yr ago which a custom setup like I've described and a custom PB&J kernel. With stock everything now, I'm lucky if I get 12 hours.
If I missed a recent thread containing any of the information that I've just discussed, I apologize but I didn't see any. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

if you want a good battery life, I suggest you use the CM stable rom for xt907, 4.2.2 andriod OS.

you can use dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex the stock Rom your self if you cant find a rom you like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
you can then debloat using this safe list

Personally I'm on CM KK nightlights and have no desire to go back to a JB rom. Fast, smooth and battery life is great. I'm using CM kernel that comes built into the rom but I know a lot of people use arrrghhh's
