What you need to do is read the wiki (see signature), and rom related threads, as to answer your question would take to long and as the previous person mentioned, we have been here before.
Do a search in the rom development forum and read the first few posts on each rom which will tell you basically what that rom includes. Do the same for whaever roms you are interested in and then try them out if you want.
All I can say is read read read and follow guidelines regarding flashing in the wiki and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Both can be found in my signature
thanks
Hi
Thanks for your reply I am goign to start reading tonight and hope I understand what it all means.
Thanks again

It may appear daunting at first, but everyone here was in your shoes at first. After reading the wiki and implementing advice/tips/tweaks etc listed within you should be on your way to understanding. As a close mate (cRaCKwHoRe) said, if you read the wiki you'll know what I know, and this is the truth
There is also guidelines and tutorials on how to flash to knew roms and improve radio (reception) etc.
All information on each rom is listed on first few posts of each thread on that particular rom.
If you have any problems on any topic people here will gladly assist you (well most). If no one helps you, which I doubt, PM me.
Hey guys, can someone PLEASE tell me how can I downgrade from the new rom to the older one ?
Thanks

1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol
johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.
I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.
I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.
I still luv ya John!

Ok guys, i've got my Samsung Galaxy S (BASEBAND I9000XXJPP), FROYO 2.2 model GT-I9000 and rooted KERNEL 2.6.32.9
Now, i'd like to install custom rom on my phone, which one can you recommend me? i want to be STABLE and working smooth. No fancy themes please thanks.
please recommend me few distributions from our great rom creators and tell me do i need to be aware of something before i upgrade new rom, and one more question, can i (and how) restore my original firmware (rom) back if i want.
THANKS!

yeah wrong place to ask but try Darkys rom or romkitchen.org they are pretty easy to set up and a nice easy two roms to start experimenting with
ok thanks for redirecting me. please recommend me more roms and tell me is it possible to return back to original firmware if i'm not satisfied with downloaded one?

been using romkitchen.org for 3months without any issues but i agree darky is also a top an awesoem rom.
theCro said:

All the roms on the development section read the posts to see what you want .
Rom Kitchin would be my recommend
and tell me is it possible to return back to original firmware if i'm not satisfied with downloaded one?
NOT unless you save your original rom .
However you can get back to Stock Samsung rom that's the firmware before its been customized by the phone network .

Seriously dude, if you can’t give an answer, you are allowed to not post anything and waist more space. If you really feel you need to say something, direct the user, or do something useful.
Darkys rom is probably the best - at least the one I enjoy most.
Ps. Even though your question borders on being General, if you want to ask ROM related question please do so in the "Galaxy S I9000 Q&A", before someone die.
thanks JJEgan and everyone for support, i'll try some roms!
Hey guys, made a video tutorial on how to install ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)
In the video i show you how to install tytungs NexusHD2 ICS ROM. I know other roms may use slightly different methods but you can modify my tutorial to work on your rom e.g. if the rom your installing tells you that you need a 250mb partition, then flash a 250mb partition instead of the 200mb one that i use in the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpuuwvZQRPI
also made a walkthrough/demo of tytungs rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcdeaWB-lWM
No offense, but is this really necessary? And in the development subforum? After this long in the HD2's lifecycle im sure just about everyone knows how to flash a rom, as this isn't any different to install than any other android rom. Regardless, props for trying to help people out.
video tutorials are the pits... pictorials are where it's at.
reasoning? You can't update a video, you just have to post a brand new one, and either delete the old one or put a link for the new one in the old one, this is not conducent to clear understanding.

Agreed. This is pretty pointless.
There are plenty of guides already and this isnt really specific to ICS anyway, The steps are basically same for all roms.

the thing is some people actually don't know how to do it, i agree that most people should, but i get messaged all the time on my youtube channel asking how to flash stuff or asking me to help them with problems they are having flashing roms. and it may be pointless to you but if it helps a few people then its not pointless.

Problem is people don't search anymore.
Everything about flashing can be found at the right places, shouldn't be so hard!
If you can't find it, then you're not smart enough to flash it anyway.....
It's no rocket science!
Hmmm. I think this thread although made with good intentions is unnecessary and confusing. The tiltle suggests that there's some special method of flashing ics. Clearly there isn't and there are guides tutorials all over the place (including stickies) for flashing everything.

But if these "few" don't have the mental capacity to look at sticky topics or use search then they shouldn't be attempted to flash their phone in first place.
Thans for trying to be helpfull. But really this topic is pointless.
Its standard procedure not different from any other rom. And there is no point in making tutorial for every ROM. Only difference is in recovery size, cache...etc.
This is way backward and redundant, shouldn't be in dev thread, better place is in Q&A.
No offense but pls close this thread...

Agreed, not sure what the OP was thinking tbh. Is he/she/somebody else going to create a video guide for every rom even though steps are same?
Well at least, tytung's work has been featured on many websites, partially thanks to that video (it's a known fact that blogs prefer to add a video to a post).

Yes but that has got nothing to do with posting the said video in a dev thread. This rom does not need any special installation and is no different any other install and does not need to be in a dev forum.

all my other tutorial vids have been posted here and there has never been a problem.
IMO the only thing wrong with this thread is that it could cause some confusion as people may think that ICS uses a different flashing method. The thread placement is, as far as I'm concerned, fine
Is Froyo upgradable to I.C. Sandwich?

Hey guys! forgive me for this stupid question ... I'm thinking of buying a nexus 7 arrived in Italy these days ... I decided to look at the development section to see which Rom were already available
I was amazed to see that there are two sections of development:
- Nexus 7 Android Development (for the Asus Nexus 7)
- Development Nexus 7 Original (Original development for the Nexus 7)
hardware diferences?
I don't understand what the differences are? could you explain?
sorry for my bad English ... : (

we can try to figure out for yourself if you do not respond (although I hope they do) ... try to download from the play store android system info and search in logs ... something ...
one is for original development, the other is for development based on someone elses work(not original). i hope this explains it better to you.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16676486#post16676486

you tell me that the one is a section for those who want to develop a certain type of ROM (completely new), the other is for those who want to use "ready rom" (ready-made)?

its not "for a noob or not for a noob". either are good for a noob. its just an extra classification for the actual work. flash what you want to flash
