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.
Thread closed.

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] Beginner questions about custom roms

Hi all,
I'm very new in the Android world, so please reply as if i'm a complete bastard
I've got a Galaxy Apollo (i5800), without simlock, running Android 2.1 from Samsung (original rom).
Now I read many thing about roms, jpm, jpf, jpg, jpw, jpz, jpb, etcetera etcetera. Now I really don't know what these terms mean.
The only thing I know, is that I would like to try a good custom rom, with easy installation. Do you guys know about a very user/beginner friendly rom?
And also, do I have to root my phone before I'm able to install a custom rom?
Sorry for my bad english and poor knowledge.
Thanks in advance for your reply

What do you guys think about this rom? youtube.com/watch?v=NY1cySzOh0U
This rom is based on XXJPM.
Will it work on my i5800, currently firmware version: PDA:JG6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JH2 (BSE), language: Dutch?
Will it be buggy, laggy? Will Samsung Kies still be able to detect my phone after flashing this rom?
And, when I don't like this rom, how easy will it be to get the stock firmware on it?
Last, but not least: is this rom going to drain the battery life of my phone?
Many thanks for the replies

You can't update with kies if you have a custom rom. you have to flash back

Thanks for the replies! I'm currently running Indroid 3.0, and it's working perfect!
It was very easy to install the custom rom, which I didn't expect.

Hy, i have also a question:
- If i flash with a custom rom/kernel can i then install official rom from Kies? Or it's irreversible?

Kies only works with official roms as far as I know...
If you flash a custom rom with odin, kies doesn't recognize the phone (and you can not install official rom from kies).
You can however flash an official rom with odin (rom from samfirmware).
- With the official rom kies also works again.

Thanks, i will be watting for the official rom for the 5801 and then i will install custom rom depending on the users feedback.

Best ROM Guide

Hi,
I'm currently using the stock DDJP2 rom in my SG3 (I5801) which sucks a lot (specially freezes a lot & poor battery life) . I've heard that there some stock ROMs which are very good in term of stability & battery performance. Now I want to use those ROMs and shortlisted three ROMS - XXJPM / XXJPN / XWJPF (which are for I5800). My main targets are:
1. Better stability & performance
2. Better battery performance
3. More customization option
4. Dont want to use any custom ROM
Can anyone suggest me a suitable ROM for me out these three mentioned above. Also please let me the know if there is any possibility of loosing my IMEI no after flashing with these roms (have seen that some people complained about problem who uses I5800 ROMs in I5801). If there is any possibility, can you let me know the precautions I should consider. I'm some confusion after going through the various posts and wanted to clear all of these before flashing.
Thanks in advance.

I've used the JPF, JPN and found several bug's in them.
I'm currently using Kyrillos' rom v5.3 (based on XXJPM) and is the best I've used, with all
the bug's I complained solved

This was my goal too, I flashed Lestatious ROM and I must say it's the most stable and fast ROM. Even without OC it's extremely fast!
Sooo, I suggest you to flash Lestatious!

Lestatious + fugumod kernel without OC

I'd like to recommend you JPM. And this will be end if we talk about roms from your list.
But I hope you will consider one from Dharama's roms. I'm sure you will find a rom (from Dharama's roms of course) that fits expectations for a perfect rom. Personally I use Dharama's Clean Performance Rom - fast, light, stable, with easy installation, without useless stock applications.
I've also heard only good things about Dharam's Clean Rom.

I was on DDJP2 and had many probs so switched to XXJPM and I must say I am very satisfied with it. It too has some minor probs and the occassional freezing but it is one of the best among the stock ROMs.
As for losing your IMEI, yes there is a chance so backup your /efs folder and also create a efs.rfs file so that even if you lose your IMEI, you can get it back. You can find the tutorial in the roll up thread.
Another thing when flashing a ROM is remove the boot.bin, sbl.bin and logo.png files and your chances of a hard brick is virtually 0%. You can also download the ROMs without boot loaders from Kyrillos thread.
Cheers and happy flashing

Thanks everybody for your kind help.
As mentioned earlier, I would prefer a stock rom rather than a custom rom and hence decided to go for XXJPM. I've downloaded the stock XXJPM rom from the samfirmware site but I cant see any boot.bin and sbl.bin file though I'm able to see the logo.png file (which I guess the first pic after the phone startup). I can only see the folling files - cache.rfs, datafs.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, logo.png, modem.bin & zImage file.
Can anyone tell me which file should I remove before flashing this I5800 rom in my I5801. I've already copied the /efs folder to my sdcard so I can restore my IMEI no & MAC address if anything goes wrong. Is this enogh before flashing the XXJPM Rom. I dont have extensive knowledge in flashing. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Jpm does not have the bootloader files so you need not remove any files
as i already said look in the roll up thread to backup imei

Thanks you all for your help.
I'm successfully able to flash the jpm rom in my sg3.

Hello,
I'm too about to do the same thing flashing 5800 Stock ROM on my 5801. So I wanted to know if you had problems with EMI and MAC after your flash.
Thanks

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).
