Hello Mate,
For improved battery life, fast and stable ROM, I recommend you use Doc's Rom, you will get all of this, and no messing with your phone.
You can get Doc's ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Note that you will find a Slim version and "normal" version, slim has been trimmed every app that is not absolutely indispensable, since you are new to custom ROMs, it is best to get the normal version.
And here you can find a nice tutorial on how to make a clean installation, I suggest you follow this guide when flashing any custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9728021&postcount=14527
This guide shows you how to instal Doc's Rom v4 based on JPU, the most recent version so far is v6.2 based on JPY, the installation process for both is the same anyways, you only need to follow the complete guide the first time you get a custom ROM, after this it is much easier to change ROMS
Good Luck!
Please ask any questions if you have doubts, we all here will be pleased to help you out.

There is no best ROM, it is up to you to find the ROM that you want.
You can use the latest stock ROMs or Custom Roms which are really just repackaged/optimized/improved/faster stock ROMs (Doc is most popular for these reasons).
These discussions are not beneficial to anyone at XDA. If you are too lazy to flash and find what you like, then you don't belong at XDA.

I'm afraid that "which ROM is best?" threads always end in disaster here at XDA, and there's no answers to be found here that can't be had by taking some time and doing some personal research on all the options that exist...the benefits and faults of each are already well-documented.

Black screen and lag on i9000 2.2

Hi guys,
I am new to android world n amature in doing techy things on my mobile. I have updated my os from 2.1 to 2.2 via kies.
I get lag n black screens on my usage. Can anyone help me?

i laso get some lag end som blackscreens
but i have already done the lagfix.
but i have the brazilian version, also with 2.2 with
baseband i900bvjjpd
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]_lation #3
dunoo if its maybe an app, but i have watchdog and there are no apps misbehaving :/

first of all i think your both in the wrong thread lol, wont get noticed much in this section.......... but anyway
Are you using 2.2 or 2.2.1 ?? there are alot of fixes in the 2.2.1 and is a lot quicker for a stock ROM.
if you wanted even more speed you could go for a custom ROM there is loads to chose from.... but it can get a bit technical so if your unsure DONT DO IT !!!

There are a few things to consider:
- as stated above, you should make sure you get the latest, because 2.2.1 should be available (even officially) pretty much everywhere
- after flashing a factory reset is recommended to get the best performance (do a backup before so you can restore anything)
- there are better kernels out there that can speed up things and make your experience smoother (speedmod, voodoo, tegrak, etc)
- there are custom roms out there that are junk free and should provide a richer better experience.

Hi,
I know my question may be weired to some of experience people out here.
but i am really confused
What is difference between linux kernal update and flashing rom.
how to update kernel on my samsung galaxy s (I9000 2.2 default by samsung)
Thanks

Kernels and ROMs go hand it hand, it pointless getting a custom ROM and keeping stock Kernel. or vice versa
if you look it the development section and look for kernels (speedmod, Voodoo ect) there is a detailed step by step guide to installing them, and what benefits they have... it will make more sense for you to read through it all, than it would for us to try break it down into simple terms

first try the official update DDJP2. if it is fine for you, you can continue with it. but many are facing problems.
you can also try JPM/JPN/JPF. all are stable roms.

Best 2.2 rom
Jpm is best stable rom

Question about rom's

This is probarly asked alot so sry
But considering the risk with putting roms on your phone.
and considering the advantages from these roms.
What do you suggest to do if i want to play save
-> Upgrading to 2.2 with Kies (samsung software)
-> Upgrading to 2.2 stock with odin
-> Upgrading to 2.2 ROM with no OC
And for the roms wich do you suggest as the safest and stable (no bugs)

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).

Lesson n. 1
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!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

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.
