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!

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!
Hello Guys
I'm new in the forum and I just bought a galaxy note 2 n7100,I got it in china and has some kind of custom rom chinese I guess.
I also own a nexus 3 but I never changed the rom and is currently running android 4,2.
On my note I want to get an original rom or something that works well,what do you suggest me and what should I do?
Thanks
You need to carefully read how to root and flash a new rom, if that's what you want. My site has an up-to-date list of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs. You can also see a few community links to information here at XDA, to help you learn how to root your device.
Read the threads carefully. You should follow the information for your Note II, not a different Note II.
Do you live in China? What do you mean some kind of custom rom Chinese? Did someone sell it with a custom rom on it?
Welcome to the forums. I just got my Note II 6 days ago.
Loving it. (Although I was surprised to learn it doesn't have an FM Radio?)

1. Who would use that site to check for available roms instead of going to the android section?
2. The N7100 does have radio, the N7105 doesn't

It's already rooted, don't worry.
Go to Settings > About device, and tell us what your baseband version is. Once knowing that, someone can point you in the direction of a nice ROM, which is as easy as making a few clicks.

Why not just flash stock sammy rom just like your Nexus3? The stock is good as it is for me. I would suggest go stock, then slap a 64gb microsd for hd movies for your trips to China ü
Updated roms should be round the corner anyway given the leaks mentioned everywhere.
Cheers!

Right it is,I just checked on terminal.
so it says android 4.1.1 based version N7100XXALIE
should I provide something else?
Also would be possible to make a back up of my samsung galaxy nexus 3 and move everything on my note 2?
thanks

Well hell, just go over to the Development section and download a nice ROM suited for your baseband. The N7100 has plenty of support.
No worries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
You can backup your stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to your computer and move them over to your new phone. Unfortunately it doesn't have an SD card so you can't just move the card over and copy it.

Non-LTe gn2 is n7102.
Hey guys, not entirely sure where to port this but here goes.
I was watching the product launch of the oppo N1 and noticed their ColorOS looked like something fun to try out.
Did some poking around on their website
ColorOS forum without translate
Person taking credit for it on XDA with their own forum when it is actually provided by OPPO : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455932 (side note original link is an ODIN file and this guy did make a flashable zip so he should get some credit
Anyways I was wondering how tough it would be to port it over to our devices aka I9505/I337(m)
Anyone have any tips, maybe suggestions on where to place this thread for better reception?
Thanks!
YOU RIGHT!!

I've tried to port it a few times, i'm having trouble finding a good base rom so i don't think i'll be able to make it happen myself
damn!
I saw that this rom is based on the MIUI, right?!
now, if the difference between the i9500 and the i9505 is only the processor why don't you take the Prism ColorOS ROM v5, and put this kernel download646. mediafire. com/akz46i2vruzg/gy4tnpf6d064f8v/MIUI-Abyss-GT-I9505-1.6.1FSam.zip into it?! I haved this problem when I installed the MIUI ported for the i9500 that doesn't work on my i9505... maybe this is a good strating point! @AL_IRAQI PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING! PLEASE! :crying:

Hi Al!
Please give me an aswer! A port of your great ROM for i9500 shouldn't be so difficult: it's just a kernel matter isn't it? can you do something for us?! please answer me!
thank you so much and sorry for spamming.. that's from me.
this is the answer:
Hi buddy
No.
You need to patch Samsung Rom for i9505 again
Or maybe port HTC One Rom
I can't do anything for i9505
I'm sorry buddy
maybe for all of you guys that can help... unfortunally I'm not able to do such great things from my PC...

I had thought this as well but previously on Prism v1 i had asked him which base to use and got the following answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47428345&postcount=163 So i've been trying to do that. The big problem is the kernel and not having the right system links in to the rom. It's not quite as simple as flashing the rom and then putting a new kernel in because of all the back end stuff unfortunately.

I had actually ended up PM'ing him for a while trying to figure it out after i settled the base issue it turned into a kernel issue then a system link issue and then i just gave up.
Might take another swing at it over the weekend if i h ave some free time, we'll see.

KNOX*
I know it is shown in an S4 mini, but i was wondering if it could work on any rom? i want to try and use it on a stock rom for GT-i9500, but i'm not sure it will work and i don't want to ruin anything.
Thanks!
sorry

Please head to the Dev section and explore the roms for yourself
Obviously stock roms will be bug free
Anything else is purely subjective and the only way to know if they will meet your needs is to try them
There is no such thing as a best rom as everyone's opinion will be different
Rom features/bugs will be written on the op - I suggest you take time to read them
The only way to know what will work "best" for you is to try them
Thanks for your valuable answer! I have read about some of them! What about Hyperion Rom Final build,have u tried that,how is it?
