New to galaxy S

Hey guys, i am new to galaxy S, before i had galaxy ace,
can u suggest me a good ROM

Hey!
I used at last XXJW4 (europe), based on the last official release from samsung. The original was not so bad - the customized version I found here on XDA: really amazing!
So just look for the last official release for your region (e.g. via KIES) and find a optimized version on XDA.
(sorry for my "english" - I hope you will understand and this would help)

You can try ics slim 3.9 or cyanogenmod 9 , the latest nightly. Both are solid and established roms. I prefer slim because of the included tweaks like variable resolution and some system menus.

SlimICS is good, or CM9/AOKP they're pretty popular.

Cm9

Keep in mind that you'll lose Sammy stuff.

cyanogenmod 9 is the wise choice i guess...!!!

Try slim, you won't regret it!!!!
Send from my Galaxy S with Slim ICS 3.9 + Semaphore 1.2.2

I think your best choice it's CM9 instaling gapps and samsung apps.. then if u find that smooth & fast.. try TWICS 3.01 or RemICS i haven't find any roms faster than those.. and they look like samsung stock roms.. and battery life it's Amazing (Just try 'till u find one thats fits your needs..)

I'm looking for the fastest kernel + ROM combination

Hello guys, I'm looking for the fastest kernel+ROM combination for this phone (i9000). Would be awesome if it was with android 4.1.2 (at least)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

There is no fastest Rom and kernel. You have to find what suits for you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Fastest? This is the fastest...

I use gamerzrom and im happy.
Depends on you really what apps are you running.

What version and with which one of the kernels?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

i do not like cm's overcharging that made my battery swell
also i find it not reliable as often i had missed calls (phone restarted or lost signal) while it waas untoched on the desk

Best rom+kernel is GamerzROM Legend Edition v3.0 (Android 4.2.2) with Semaphore Kernel 2.9.25s . PM me if you need a download link for the ROM.

AOSP Super Nexus ROM 2.0 BIULD 4 + Mackay Kernel 0.318 is the best and fastest combination for your I9000...I am using it right now and no problems so far with this kernel you get 396MB of RAM and purest and closest to stock Android ROM...That's all from me the choice is yours now...

Could you link it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219235 - for the BEST ROM Super Nexus 2.0 BUILD 4

go to http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd and pick RC4 build or later. It'll probably not dissapoint. There's helly bean which I've been using before, but it hasn't been updated since 130426 I think, and it's really disappointing compared to cm 10.1 RC4.
Other than that, I guess the last cm9 is pretty good and cm7 but it's old now. If you decide to go with some kind of stock rom, particularily value pack. Try hardcore's last speedmod kernel for sgs. It's THE best kernel I've used with the phone regarding speed/stability.
It's a pity hardcore doesn't make cm kernels.

Personally
My selection: Fastest, stable, .... ¿but? battery eater: GamerzROM Legend Edition v3.0 (semaphore Updated). Promising one, with good battery live SuperNexus 2.0 - I9000 - Milestone 1. Battery live and goof performance: SAURON (GB). C-RoM Mix good other to try. And maybe you like Slim Bean. Test and decide..

For me Infamous AOKP with semaphore has been good

Thanks bro atm i'm trying the gamerzROM. Its quite good but as u said battery eater.. Ill try the rest later( there are still some game to test)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

are you aware that gamerzROM / SuperNexus / AOKP are all the same with few diff PNG's in few system apk's and all are still based on CYANOGEN ?
so best you can do is use CM latest nightlies (from it comes your beta rom versions) in combination with some kernel that You like
so none of those got better battery life or better perrformance - the only diff betwen them is the kernel.
remember CM is the base and then comes someone calling himelf a dev like faryab and copy pastes cm and aokp features,
depending on complication of that he might screw it or leave it ok as it was in CM or AOKP
then adds some kernel stolen from another devs and there you go a ROM
more features it incorporates (kernel) the worse - belive me ...
and stock 2.3.6 is still more stable lacks only jb look but thats i9000 for **** sake ...

i really like semaphore with slimbean

good for you, semaphore is good kernel maker and as for themes i like stock look

What's the difference between nightlies and simple cyanogen? Do you know? And u say then that i should simply take back my cm10.1 with semaphore?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

nightlies introduce new functions, bugfixes first but also might be unstable or even introduce faulty update packages leading to a softbrick (had such situations once)
normal are tested and marked as stable, daily use (bs)

And u sure that cm is compatible with semaphore? Or do u know any faster kernel for i9000?

Hahaha! Yes it's the best ROM because it is the most stable one! I'm talking about custom roms.

Having troubles flashing Evo X3 getting bootloops. When i search for custom roms for Galaxy Y it always brings the same ROM in every website. That's why i'm asking what you guys are using because maybe some of you are using custom ROMS that i haven't heard of yet.

I'm using hyperion 8. It's good, It's fast and ui is pretty neat too.
However it takes ages to boot ( 2-4 minutes)
and another strange problem (dunno if others experience it)
Phone shuts down and enters bootloop every 11am, I have to pull the battery out.

This falls in the "Best ROM thread" category and they are not allowed on the forum. ROMs are all different and have different characteristics. Try out what you find and make the decision for yourself.

which rom/kernel are most recommended?

the fastest and snapiest one. i am about to install wanam lite

Fast is cm 10.2 but still alpha, i like crash and Arrow rom with perseus kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Most of the TW base ROMs are about the same. I've used Omega + persues from day one and got great battery life.. (6hrs+ screen time with like 30hrs standbye). Onto CM 10.2 now tho.
Also--- this should be moved to S4 General I believe.....

arrow is aosp themed, is very beautifil, until camera is fixed in cm 10.2 a'm using this.

I think you should try arrow rom or crash rom. They are great, smooth and the battery is great.
But i think wanam 1.8 has the battery best. I can use 2 days with 4 hour on screen. But wanam 1.8 is the old ver.

First of all, CyanogenMod 9 is not currently stable. It is in development progress for Samsung Galaxy Ace I and will be later ported for Galaxy Y when it reaches to stable version. There are already many improvements made, such as the performance, the user interface. Broadcom finally released the drivers for developing a stable Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (Android 4.0.4).
For any news about improvements made, check at bieltv.3's blogspot or galaxyyarchive.info
Developers currently working on it: bieltv.3, SpaceCaker, Lopicl.00
The ROM will be uploaded on XDA when it becomes stable.
We support the developers and we thank them for their hard work.
