Hi everyone,
Im kinda new to the whole modding scene of the i9000. Ive had my phone for over a year now, only recently have I updated to stock GB 2.3.6 rom and flashed CF-Root and CWM. Now I want to play around with it a bit more haha.
So I just putting the question out there. As I am new Im not to sure on the "popular" ROMs. Ive read a little that JB is unstable for the i9000, Ill be happy with ICS. If everyone can comment on what ROM theyre using, and why its the best.
Thanks in advance

You really should give the official CyanogenMod 10 a try (latest Google Android Jelly Bean v4.1.1)
Please, point me to the writings where it says that it's unstable. That's a kids-talk lye
- charge battery to 100 %
- remove Sim-card and External SD-card
- flash stock JW8 with Odin3 v1.87 (pit-512 and repartition)
- flash CF-Root JW4 v4.4
- shut down phone and enter CWM Recovery using the 3-button combo
- in CWM Recovery do a wipe data factory reset
- in CWM Recovery mount all and format all (yes, best to format internal USB to)
- in CWM Recovery mount internal USB to PC and copy downloaded CM10 + Gapps
- flash CM10 nightly (phone will boot in CWM Recovery)
- do a wipe data factory reset again
- flash CM10 again + latest JB Gapps
- fix permissions in CWM and boot
- have fun!
-Sam-
PS: If you want ICS, download latest CyanogenMod 9 nightly (see CM10 download link above) + latest ICS Gapps and follow the same procedure Play around with both of them and take your pick. You can't go wrong with any custom CM9/CM10 builds either... I'll stick to the official CM10 + Devil3 v1.5.2 kernel :good:
Wow, now thats an answer! :thumbup: Mine's gonna be a lot poorer
I am on cm9.1 with devils 1.4.1 kernel and its amazingly smooth, stable and fast. All you want. I like how simple it is.
Tried AOKP Milestone 6, which has a little more extras (weather in notification panel and lockscreen and so on) and is one of the best ICS Roms. You could also try SlimICS or other roms, but I can't tell you nothing about them cause I didn't try them.
Also there is a certain project called MIUI which could be of your interest: It is very similar to iOS from Apple and also based on ICS or GB.
Or go directly for the new Jelly Bean!
So you see, the world of flashing just opened the doors for you! Enjoy this amazing community as I do and make yourself a new handy!
Never forget to thank the developers for their amazing work they do after a hard workday in real life just to improve our old devices!

Wow! Haha. Ill agree...that was some answer.
Ok so i dont have specific posts that say JB is unstable, I have come to the conclusion that I must of been blindish when i read the threads as I think they may have been from when the thread started, which in some cases is MONTHS ago. In other words when the porting of JB was still in testing.
Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try it out, although I havent yet seen the potential in ICS (yes im a bit behind), why not jump straight to JB.
Atleast with a nand and efs backup, and a jig handy, I can give a few roms/kernels a try.
Thanks to you both and to the developers of the xda community :good:
I look forward to visiting and maybe contributing in the future.

I own a Defy+ with Android 2.3.4 (4.5.1-134_DFP-89) branded by Vodafone-Italy.
I would like to run a CM7 ROM without flashing kernel as I read that flashing kernel 2.3.6 is a one way operation and no downgrade is possible.
I read in other thread that this WhiteRabbit ROM which is flashable but uses GO Launcher that I do not like.
Are there other CM7 ROMs working with Defy+ and with less customization (CM7 "pure" would be great but I think epsilon3 ROMs are 2.3.6 kernel only)?
Thanks and sorry for being noob
defy+ cm7.2 nightlies for 2.3.4
If you want pure CM7.2 you could actually use epsylon's defy+ nightly builds
I suggest new CM7.2 Nightly build for defy+
Epsylon7 currently makes Cm7.2 defy+ nightly builds WITHOUT Kernel so that they are compatible with most (all?) current defy+ phones (i.e android 2.3.4 / 2.3.5 / 2.3.6).

p.s. a lot of different roms can be tried without having to upgrade SBF and blow those damned efuses.. do some reading around here on fixed SBFs and nandroid backups and you will understand more
Thanks for suggestions. I already have CWR and Snd Init. I will try CM in the weekend.
EDIT: writing from CM72, I could not resist. At a quick look... it is another phone
Some occasional app crash, but works great.

A little update and a big thanks.
Everything works fine here on CM 7.2.
The difference in fastness of CM is impressive, camera works and battery charges to 100%. It seems CM consumes a bit more battery but it worthes it.
The only feature which is significantly worse than the original are the vocal commands which does not understand italian at all, but the applications itself is ok.
I will investigate on that.
Does anybody know if CM 7.2 (whenever it will be out) will OFFICIALLY support Defy+?
I could not find anything neither here nor on CM forums.
Stock - Cyanogenmod 7.2
yes from what i understand the CM7.2 Nigtlies will become official when once they are stable Epsylon/Quarx (and maniac103 ?) are working as part of official CM team..
hi guys!
i have a annoying issue with this nightly version(cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). my wifi shot dawn after ~20 min, when im not using my phone (i dont switch on the screen) its a bug or thers a setting for solve that problem?
thanks!

It works fine if I start from 2.3.6? I've got me too the MB526 form Vodafone (si sono italiano pure io ).
What do you think about this room after 2 days? Yes, it's not a long time...but...i cloud not resist me too!!!!!!!
I don't know coming from 2.3.6, but coming from 2.3.4 I was really impressed.
PROs:
- phone is much more responsive
- switching wifi and silent mode on/off very fast and no need to confirm which wlan each time
- I got rid of Motoblur (common inbox is awful)
- audio volume increased
VSs:
- some occasional app crash
- camera works but the impression is a little less quality
- original vocal commands worked much better
From what I understood 2.3.6 should be ok as you don't flash kernel, but backup backup and backup again!
@lord: if the phone is idle why you need wifi? I would not notice that, but I will take a look.

Hi your posts were very helpfull to me, cause you have the same phone and build as I do. However, installing a CM7.2 on my Defy+ is still unsuccesfull.. As you said, I did not install a different SBF, but root my phone, install 2ndinit an made a nandroid backup (which I am now restoring after a failed ROM load )
I follow the steps in the topic you gave, but the problem is that my 2ndinit (CMW) says: "E:/Can't open /tmp/recovery.log" when I load the zip file from my SD card (after wiping cache and data). Pretty annoying. I tried now with "cm72.120127.0846-Nightly-Defy+" and a non Defy+ and more recent one: "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip"
Have been googling the error message, but most people say it happens when the wrong CM is used (not for Defy+) but I am doing that right..
Which version of CWM did you install?
After you install 2nd init for defy and open the app there are two options:
Stable recovery
Latest recovery.
I think you installed the stable recovery. If yes, now try installing the Latest recovery and install CM7. If no may be we will have to figure out something else!
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu
I have white rabbit 1.3 right now and it came with a bunch of cool customizing installation options though aroma, including ICS style which runs ADW instead of GO, much cleaner/faster, also my battery life is awesome. or you could download CM7 Barebones Jordan and build your own. I'm pretty sure I found both ROMs somewhere in these pages.

I have a TF101 on 3.2.1 custom OS and Kernel 2.6.36.3-g32125f7-dirty ([email protected] #92).
It's been such a long time since I went through the razorclaw setup and flashed this thing, I don't really remember what I did so I'm having to start over on knowledge so I'm hoping some of you experts can help me.
I would like to go to an ICS build, doesn't matter if its official, custom, etc. Obviously, a clean and stable custom is nice due to the lack of bloatware and I would refer to stay rooted going forward, but I don't want to deal with things like shortcut keys not functioning, wireless issues, etc .. so if its a custom rom, something 99% functional is a must. Otherwise, I'd be happy to go to stock ICS. The only reason I upgraded to a custom one in the first place was so I could overclock which I don't do anymore.
Could someone point me to something that would walk me through the following:
- Point me to a highly recommended STABLE ICS build that allows for overclocking?
- Point me to instructions on how to take my already clockworked honeycom tablet to ICS? (Do I just drop some rom on an SDCard, reboot, hold down some key combination, select to upgrade and I'm done?)
- AND .. anything else? I know sometimes you have to update radios & kernels and other stuff, and sometimes instructions get crazy complicated, so I'm hoping there's an easy instruction list somewhere?
Thanks!!
These are the two i have tried that are ICS:
Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.1 Stable - IC411 | Jun 23 | FaceUnlock | APM
Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 | High Quality & Performance | ICS | TF101/101G
I am currently using Revolver 4 ROM and im enjoying it very much. I have also installed Guevor v22.6 kernel and im OC'ed to 1.2GHz and getting excellent battery life.
Im assuming you can just load up the ROMs on your SD card and just install them through CWM. Just make sure you do a completely wipe of your system after you do a backup.
You shoudln't have to do much!
1) download the ICS ROM you would like to use. I suggest Team EOS' latest nightly or their stable EOS 2.0 ROM, both in the development section
2) reboot to recovery
3) nandroid backup your current boot, system, and data partitions
4) wipe everything
5) flash ICS ROM
6) reboot
7) enjoy ICS

Most ROMs include a kernel. It may only be a stock kernel or the dev may have used a custom OC kernel. A different kernel can always be flashed through CWM.

Hello,
How are you?
I am a bit tired of Touchwiz and some lag on the phone, so I would like to switch ROMS.
So, I was wondering what is the most pure vanilla ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the Note, wich is stable and has the fewest know issues?
I am sorry for this thread, but there are so many roms developed that it is really hard to choose.
CHeers and thanks!

For an ICS ROM you need to use an ICS kernel. But Paranoid comes packaged with the kernel. By the sound of it you are on GB at the moment. If it's already rooted, do a full wipe then flash Paranoid and the GApps package from the same thread.
If you are already on ICS, do not do full wipe until you have read up on how to do it.

Would a kernel like Speedmod work better with the nightly rom? Or is a stock GB kernel better?
Whichever rom I choose, I need to use PC Odin to revert to GB before flashing anything, right?

Why would anyone use cm9 If Paranoid Android is the same with much more features..
You cant use any tw kernels like speedmod. Cm9 need cm9 kernels

You can use modded kernels with PA, but only cm based ones like AniDroid/bbq etc.. and not the touchwiz ones like speedmod/franco.
To install, follow what the post above says, or as you mentioned use Odin to go back to gb, root/install cwm, full wipe then install Paranoid Android.

As stated above cm9 only uses cm9 based kernel, you don't have to worry about that, it will install itself when you flash the ROM.

Because not everyone like tablet mod, I've tried PA but returned to cm9 because the phone UI is more suitable for the note .
And then there is the faster update cycle of cm9.

Just my two cents: I found PA to be super buggy in comparison to CM9, the boot splash didn't fit the screen and the UI lagged a lot more, some of the apps were great in tablet mode, but CM9 feels overall far more suited to the Note.

If you want a true Vanilla experience install the 4.04 Stock Rom, you will find the there are now a lot of people using it, it is stable, fast and the battery life has improved. There is a large difference between 4.03 and 4.04 official ROMS.
I have been using it since it came out and I find that it beats everything else I have tried. On the down side the 4.04 kernel still contains the EMMC Bug so I cannot do a full wipe without reverting back to GB.

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.

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.

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 !!!!

edit: CM9 stable is now out. So that's a no brainer.

woooow nice THX...but lol...i finished my work 2 days before xD
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.
As far as performance and stability is concerned? I dont want to sacrifice that for experimental features.

Well, it is hard to say. You should try them out and see what you like.
I was running the TeamEOS 3 (up to build 89) and they were quite stable. I had switched to the ParanoidAndroid/CM Hybrid by MattmanWRX and it was just as stable. Many users love the LiquidSmooth ROM as well.
I moved up to the TeamEOS 4 (build 90 and beyond) as it is Android 4.2 and feels smoother and faster than the 4.1 builds.
My best advice is to try a few out and see what you like.
I would highly recommend using TWRP instead of CWM recovery, and for the love of Android, do NOT use ROM Manager to install or update CWM on a TF101.
I've been using the official Cyanogenmod (CM-10.0) nightly for a few months. Decided to change to TeamEOS 4 a couple of weeks ago because progress on Cyanogenmod for this tablet has been slow and no stable build seems to be on the horizon. But today I moved back to the official Cyanogenmod (cm-10-20130217-NIGHTLY-tf101.zip). Although fast and pretty, I found TeamEOS 4 too buggy and unreliable. CM-10.0 may not be the latest Android version, and it is still a nightly release, but their standards for stability are high and it is a reliable 4.1.2. So I humbly suggest CM-10.0.

TWRP is definitely the way to go, I just installed it last week after a long time of using CWM 3.something, and it's SO much better. I did so after installing CWM touch using ROM Manager... oops!
As for the room, I've been using Rayman's CM10 version with KatKernel. Fast and stable.
raymans cm 10.1 android 4.2 with his cooked rom.. the one marked xmas release.. everything works...EVERYTHING... no crashes.. smooth n awesome.. make sure in performance you set the cpu/gov there.. and not use external apps ) hmm i cant test the hdmi but forsure everything else works flawlessly..
but i want rootbind of linux on here.. so gonna check out I.C.S roms.. then try to rootbind linux )but raymans v8 from xmas owns...haave not seen a device not being auto reconized by the tablet...and they dont need to be plugged in before reboot either.. i bow to rayman )) this rom only needs raymans completed 3.1 kernal.. he stopped work on..?
I was never able to find a 4.1.2 rom i was happy with
