What is the best ROM for SGS

Hey ,
guys what is the best ROM rigth now for SGS ( ROM + kernel )?
im looking for good battey and the fastest that can be xD
i dont care about the design
what u guys think?
the ROMs i have been told that good are
Simply Honey
CM7
what u guys think about this 2 ROMs ?

I think the best one is the stock JVP, with a fugumod kernel. Install a deodexed so you can install mods, like gtalk with video, a Gingerbread theme and you're good to go!

i dont like the stock ROM
but what if i will flash that kernel with simply honey rom?
its may work or its will make a problems?

Try juwe you won't regret

juwe's with semaphore kernel

(ROM) GingerCriskelo V7x
[KERNEL] DarckCore 2.7.3
2gether are flyin'

I'm using the Simply Honey since 3.5 but the last one 3.6.1 is very nice and stable.

@Elia: just try some ROMs and you'll find your favourite one.

Go for what's in my signature.. And i've tried lots of gingerbread.

juwe rom + dark core kernel for me. fast n nice theme

Tweaky's ROM, DarkCore kernel, Gingerbread launcher from Market. Best combination for me. Fast, stable and nice looking (stock glass screen, stock Gingerbread theme, 3D app drawer).
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S running Tweaky's ROM with XXJVP Gengerbread

The best rom that i've just found for my SGS after 2 months is:
Rom: RomKitchen jvp (all the basic stuff, you don't need all the crappy things for Samsung) with Modem JVP
Kernel: Semaphore_kernel_JVP_1.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908).
New drivers, compatible with Tegra: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427).
I removed for caution software update process.
I OC'ed my phone to 1200 mhz and works very well. Only one freeze in 5 days.
The Quadrant score is ~ 2200 - 2750. (i know it's irrelevant but i had to mention about this)
The phone is really fast - i can compare with CM7.
The battery life is very very good.
Take a try and tell me if you like it.

agreed dont know how everyone can say get gingerbread when it has bugs that are not in 2.2.1..
there is a battery drain bug .. may be fixed in 2.3.4 not sue
there is a non working vpn bug over 3g
there is a non working adhoc wifi supplicant
bug
non of these bugs are in 2.2.1
also my favorite kernel for 2.1.1 is speedmod.. i gut almost 3 days of battery.

Don't forget that while CM7 is a fully independent ROM, and MIUI is based on CM, all the others are based on stock.
So by taking a clean deodexed stock and patching it, you can get exactly what you want - but not the crappy themes and buggy mods we often find in stock - based ROMS.
Actually the best ROM is probably the one yoi generate from the kitchen, but I don't know if JVP is available yet.

I've tried various gingerbread stock roms and found JPJV6 the fastest and energy saver
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Goatrip 2.0 for me, best ROM by far & I've been through a few

there is no one "BEST ROM" the question is what you looking for.
some have more battery time and some look better than the others.
so like isaid, the question is what you need and want

JVP with Tegrak under ONEnand Mode I suppose.

there are no such best ROM, but features u wanna have on custom ROMs. U need to know what is ur preference then choose ur own custom ROM.
Speed? definately CM7 but its still on beta.
Speed and features? Juwe's but a bit dull on the black and white.
SGS 2 apps? Tweaky ROM
Kernel? I suggest Talon 1200. Still on dev but still gives best performance and battery saving.

had darky, cyanogen, and now i'm trying Ryyu's EDB
i want the latest rom... like you not stock

Best rom/kernel

Hi, what is the best rom and kernel for galaxy s,best performance, more tweaks...atm i have cm7.
Any custom rom with tw 3 ,4?
Thanks for support.
Post link with rom .kernel......pls

Aghh that's a tough question, everyone will say "try and see for yourself the best one that fits you".
The BEST for me is latest full stock with no customization at all.

you should try this rom:F1 Galaxy S II V8 with touchwiz 4.0+Semaphore kernel 2.5.0...running so smooth and doing very well..
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129404

You should try semaphore kernel + Thunderbolt Tweaks.
For ROM, I'm using F1 Innovation HD 7.0.
It is stable and smooth......

Best rom: [ROM][ICS][I9000] Team ICSSGS RC4.2 with Semaphore 0.81, Devil 14.2 or Devil 15.1 kernels

The best stock roms are from Poland (CSC:XEO) .
Check out JS8 rom for 2.2.1 , it's fast and very stable with good signals (GPS,Wireless,etc.).
Unfortunately i don't recommend 2.3.x roms because in my opinion are simply crap.

Aokp build22 b1.2

GingerReal2 - R2.0.0+ midnight-0.8.8 kernel
Great battery life smooth fast, stable.

Currently using MIUI 2.2.24 with patch
Very fast and stable, looks nice and good battery life.

Lovely looking theme if you like black themes.

Yes. Semaphore is the best kernel. Devil not bad too.

I finally bailed on GB and installed ICS last night. Very nice, teamics with semaphore running very smooth with no issues.
GB was always disappointing. More memory used and not much slicker or faster than Froyo.
As someone said JS8 with speedmod was very good, probably the best for being lean. ICS is probably sucking back the same amount of memory as GB but at least it runs much smoother, looks better and has some cool features added.

[ROM][ICS][I9000] Team ICSSGS RC4.2
I just installed this rom to my galaxy s. It is a bit slow but it is my favorite room.

AOKP Rom + Semaphore kernel. Trying Devil kernel atm, not bad.

BEST roms for SGS1(ICS+2.3.X). recommended kernels and more! *HOT* updated 4/25

ok so here im gonna give you guys the recomended roms and top 5 rom list for Samsung galaxy S1 ONLY! (based roms on ICS and 2.3.X)
THE BEST rom was chosen by considering ALL your needs: speed, design, good battery life, A LOT of features+settings+oc costum settings, updated.
for the full information of all the roms' features and full rating go to www.topgalaxyroms.webs.com this is a very good useful site with good information! very good site! this is very helpful and I took my new room from their very happy!
update! ive added my own experience for each rom during the last month..
update- the website has just updated! new information check this out (4/25)
TOP 5 roms (ICS)
AOKP rom (im using this now. my own experience- very good+stable rom.. a lot of settings)
Doc's Master ICS 4.0.3 (stable+fast.. have a lot of settings too)
gummy (never checked it)
MyICS (my own experience- have some annoying bugs and not so good)
Dark night ROM (not so fast and have some bugs)
top 4 roms (2.3.X)

True.

What is the definition of "true information" and "all roms are bug free and totally stable"?
(from OP)
Reading some posts in the threads for those roms/kernels makes me wonder...
Sent from my GT-I9000

Slim ICS is the Best

well I did not put CM9 cuz as far as I know, CM9 rom includes a lot of bugs doesn't it?
and Ive tried a lot of roms from here too
and if something is wrong- ill fix it

Some are running CM9 without "many" bugs. some say it's even stable enough to show to your friends.
On that bombshell everyone runs whatever they see fit, and just "cruising" through the DEV section one should make a pretty good idea what is being in the top used ROMs.
There is no this is better than this, for 80% of ppl owning a SGS1 probably what was pre-installed on their phone was better than it was for the rest of us "kids" playing with fire. From experience I tell you that what works for you is the best ROM - heck there are still strong supporters of FROYO (if you know what I mean ).

HTC Desire Fanboy wants to boost girlfriends Galaxy S - need advices

Hi guys,
i know that Thread is kind of lazy but my girlfriends Galaxy S1 (Stock 2.3 ROM not rooted) is soooo damn slow and i wanna help her with a new ROM,Kernel etc...
Myself is using the newest ICS Release on my HTC Desire but i readed and informed me everyday for best performance.
At the HTC Desire topic im very well-informed but the Samsung topic is extremly new for me...so only thing i did : Stock 2.2 to Stock 2.3
(Kies is bull**** xD ?!?!)
I would like to root my girlfriends Droid but i dont know which ROM or Kernel should i chose...there are sooo much.
Because of that...guys: Whats the best, smoothest and especially stable ROM (especially for girls^^) whatever Gingerbread or ICS...i think JB is not smooth enough like on Desire :/ (too much issues etc)
It would be pretty if someone could help me so that i can boost the performance of my girlfriends phone on the best and stable way.
THX

Try stock android 2.3.6 ZSJW4. Root it with CF Root and she will be fine. Very stable and smooth with no bugs. Yoy can find it on Sammobile.com

For Gingerbread I recommend the Samsung stock roms, which are pretty stable.
See this thread for official GB firmwares from Samsung (includes also a guide for flashing stock roms with Odin).
See this thread for CF-Root, a basic rooted kernel for stock GB roms (it's the stock kernel with added su binary, SuperUser app and CWM recovery).
See this thread for Semaphore, an extended kernel for stock GB roms.
I only tried Cyanogenmod 9 as ICS rom so I can't recommend any other ICS rom, but CM9 is pretty stable (I'm using RC2 atm and have no big problems). To install CM9 or other ICS based roms, you need to install CF-Root or Semaphore first (through Odin), to get CWM recovery.

thx guys, but
@ c_codrut: i don't think that TouchWiz is a good choice...because its still boring and slowly
@stbenz: thanks for your informations, i will look at this. But im intrest about the CM9 Stuff on Galaxy S
I also use CM9 for my desire but its not officially supported...its an ROM from xda (DK-Zero) and its know very stable and without any big issues.
But i used it since 2012/04..and at this time it was very buggy...no mic no camera etc...for me no problem but for her xD not acceptable^^
But my problem is that myself can fix problems on my device and can live with it...but i dont want that my girlfriend need help with every update or something else...she should use the ROM as an almost stable and for daily-usable ROM.
I know that i should or could test it but its not my device and i couldn't walk all day with it^^ (hope you understand this )
It would be cool, if see could use ICS by CM or what about the AOKP ? (i missed that for my desire :/)
So best thing would be a almost stable ICS ROM....i/she dont need that Samsung UI i guess.
CM9 RC2 (from 2012-07-19) or the Nightly (from 2012-08-07) ?
or what about AOKP (Milestone 6) ?

cm9 + latest devil kernel :highfive:

AOKP milestone 6, semaphore 1.3.0s kernel. Fast, stable and she‘ll have unicorns.

Try Cm9 Rc2 very stable
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

With cm9 all hardware works except for fm radio. Some are reporting, that the latest nightlies are more stable than rc2, but thats most likely because bugfixes for bugs reported for rc2 are already merged to the nightlies. But I also think we are not far away from the next rc/final version, so if you don't want to flash too often, you could wait for the next rc/final version.

This guy knows what he is saying. Use CM9 RC2 and Devil Kernel and you got yourself a blazingly fast winner!

ok, guys THX!!!
i will start with CM9RC2...was my favorite anyway
And when i update the ROM ...does it works like on Desire (wiping cache and dalvik) installing newest RC or Nightly?
Or the Kernels needs often to be update?

Hey, I am using this ROM and I can only say it is extremely good, a real revelation after using Froyo and GB. I had some issues with CM9 but it was also great and superfast. i9000 with ICS is like a completely new phone!
Hope this helped a bit.

The kernel gets flashed every time you install an update, so if you have an alternative kernel, you have to flash it again every time you flash a new CM9 version. You also have to flash gapps after every update.

Girls will like MIUI ROM. Its beautiful and have custom theme... try it out.

sent from another galaxy

Hi guys...im back and finished my work
I rooted with Odin and hopefully with the correct Kernel.After that i made a NAND-Backup.
So i wiped everything and flashed CM9 RC2 and the Gapps...and everything was smooth and cool
But so far i didn't flashed the devilkernel yet...the CM-kernel seems ok.
So my question whats the Pros and Cons of the Devil-kernel compared to the CM-builtin-Kernel?
I think batterylife is important than extreme power and high batteryloss, i guess for her ^^
BTW: To make CM more female, i installed a pink theme and a pink clock widget for my girlfriend, she's happy now
And again guys...THANKS...it was very interesting to flash and root an other device (brand) and i saw the differences, Pros and Cons!
In my opinion Rooting on desire was easier and not needed as much informations and readings ^^
I hope she get no big problems but i not averse to work on her device too^^
And im jealous that her ROM runs so stable...on Desire its also stable but the Videocam doesnt work ...damn :crying: (very choppy)
But there isn't a official CMsupport or 100% HWA

i don't know about the devils kernel, but i can definitely recommend the ICS semaphore kernel http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
just remove the spaces.
using the smartassV2 govenor, etc, my phone's battery lasts about a day longer than it did on the cm9 kernel

Ok, i also use this governor on my desire and an extra sleep state governor
...the smartass v2 rocks !!!!

So is it possible to flash the stable Version over the RC2?without any negative aspects?!
The update process is like desire? wiping Cache and dalvik an flash the New Version?
Sry for these noob question but i want a good running system for my girl and cannot test the system many days like on my device

You just flash the stable over RC2, flash the google apps, and that's it. No need to wipe anything. If in doubt, make a nandroid backup before flashing.

[Q] CM 7 based ROMS

Hey folks!
I'm back on stock after CM10 and wanna go CM7.
I was on CM7.1 long back and then was on TweetyPeety's excellent MIUI Pikachu Edition.
Then I was on CM10-2012-11-18 build, but was having problems answering calls which was unacceptable to me, so I tried to flash MIUI back but it was a bit off, so I decided to start from scratch and flashed FroYo 2.2.2 SEA SBF (My default stock FroYo which I love and trust)
But it all slows down after a few months and now am looking for CM7 based ROMS, and wanna know which one's better:
1) [ROM][CM7] WhiteRabbitNextGen Edition 2.1.1 *END OF THE WORLD RABBIT*
and
2) [DEV][ROM] CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Android 2.3.7)
I am putting CM7.2 because I think it has smart dialing which I remember I sorely missed in CM7.1
But are there any good and latest CM7.2 or higher (but CM7 based only) ROMS?

Sent from my MB525 using xda app-developers app

Haven't tried the WhiteRabbit ROM. I gave Quarx's CM10 a chance over several months and decided to find something stable. WajkIUI based on MIUI and CM (stable GB version 3.1.27.) works great for me. Battery lasts up to 2 days even with a couple of 5% drops over that time. Its fast and smooth.

i like most mokee by euro_rules (modified version for defy+)! it's perfect! it looks great and no bugs at all
right now i'm using wiui gb and it's fine too but i think mokee is a bit better.. but miui looks prettier
the last whiterabbit is good and it looks like cm10

Thanks for the replies guys!
As I said, I have flashed CM 7.2 Official stable and am loving it!
The only problem I ever had with CM 7.x ROMS was the crappy ADW Launcher jitters in animations like swipe homescreen and open / close appdrawer.
I do believe its a problem with ADW itself because LauncherPRO works flawlessly giving as smooth animations (if not better) as the stock ROM.
The stock VSels are quite a bit high and I have notched it all down and undervolted to 300/25; 600/33; 1000/53.
Will also run V6 Supercharger and maybe even install latest CM 7 nightly which was recently updated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458729
Have also installed Swype which I just can't live without!
Now, As I see from the replies, there seem to be different variations for mokee OS for DEFY? which one should I try on my MB525 Red lense?
a) mookee by stefan braun
b) mokee by euro_rules (modified version for defy+)
BTW have to mention here something which I had to search and could not find readily:
The baseband for Indian users to select in CM7.x in built baseband switcher is: South East Asia 3.4.3-331
