Hi, what I would do is Odin Shabby's or AGAT's custom recovery found in the Android and Original Development sub-forums. Both are confirmed to work with creating and restoring backups. I've personally used Shabby's customer recovery twice to restore backups after testing CM10.1.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.
Alright cool thanks!, I had the gs2 before this phone so I knew it was somewhat the same but I wanted to double check before killing my phone lol

Go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery.
SLIMBEAN is working great BTW. I have been rocking it since it came out. I was so pumped because I got my S4 the day it came out and before that I was using Slimbean on my S3 so I'm glad the first AOSP rom up and running well enough for a daily driver was Slimbean!
Look out for Garywn's CM, AOKP, and PA roms, those she be up and running soon enough! Actually CM is in beta as well now!

Do it! Takes like two seconds
Yeah AOSP has none of the exclusive TW features, including but not limited to things like smart stay, air gestures, etc.
The camera has the standard AOSP features, still looks just as good, just missing some of the TW stuff!
SLIMBEAN looks so much better visually though then touch wiz haha, worth it.

So I have been rooted on stock for a while now and want to flash a rom. I have a few that I fancy but wanted to know what you guys are using. I really want to map my HTC button as well.

For stock experience you could go for ARHD or Trickdroid mate.
For AOSP you could try rootbox or AOKP.

Tried all available Roms and stuck with ARHD. It's stock experience but a little snappier. The AOSP /AOKP Builds from my opinion do have to much problems still as the battery life is not what I expect from the phone. Also I don't want to miss ZOE
Cheers guys is the tbalden kernel compatible with ARHD? Really want the HTC logo mod
Use Trickdroid is fast, with tweaks and themes.
Using the OrDroid and ElementalX kernel.
Please just try the ROMs for yourself and read the threads.

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)

There is no fastest Rom and kernel. You have to find what suits for you.

Fastest? This is the fastest...
I use gamerzrom and im happy.
Depends on you really what apps are you running.

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?

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?

This is just a poll thread to see the 'marketshare' of S2 ROMs in the community. And maybe tell us the reason why you're using that particular ROM.
Note that this is not a poll asking which one is the best.
I use hassan rom v5.0(cuz i like stock features) and rootbox nightly (cuz i like nexus look) dualbooting with dorimanx 8.35

I use Resurrection Remix 4.0.3 (JellyBean 4.2.2) with KangBang 1.3 kernel and i've just found the perfect combination. I come from a pure CyanogenMod 10.1 with original kernel, it's good but a terrible battery life compared to RR + KB.
RR has tons of features like Halo, per app dpi changer and many other settings useful to customize the phone.

Maybe list more than just one stock based (NeatROM) rom? Otherwise you're gonna get a lot of "Other" replies.

Yeah. Unfortunately can't edit the poll now. :silly:
I use Neat Rom... Bcuz I like to have a custom Rom which is as close to stock Rom.. And I found neat Rom to be very good with some additional S3 features..

The lastest neatrom and i am very satisfied
Omega
Hello!
I'm using Omega roms for a long time. Reason: You have all features in one rom without additional flashing (ripple, ink, back to kill, call record, scrollable wallpaper etc.), it is stock based rom with lot of customization, latest version has nice memory management (all time about 300 MB of RAM free), with aroma you can choose default apps, and its fast
P.S. I voted for Others, but if possible, add Omega to poll
I am using Omega because it's just cool for users who love stock UI with more features.

This is gonna become a better ROM thread, I guarantee it.
If johnny closed "post the rom you're on and the reason for it" he will close this one as well.
I advice you to replace "marketshare" for "popular" in the OP (we don't market nada here).
And make a list of ROMs and update the scores regularly, that'll get you off the hook.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I am using the latest version of neatrom, with a few extra mods from Aprilia's site. Smooth, sleek, and fully functional. It looks good and gets great battery life too with the latest dorimanx or apolo kernel.
Thread closed as effectively it is a best ROM thread... ROM with highest votes will be labelled as the best ROM.
Oh, and sending out "Thanks" to everyone participating isn't exactly a good idea.
Hello my fellow nexus users, from last few days I have been changing ROMs and still not satisfied with any one, I mean if I go for features then I will have to sacrifice battery life n stability, I love to use Franco kernel but it is not compaitible with the most featureful ROM I.e mahdi ROM n if I go for purity then it still lacks a lot of features, my point is till pa 4.0 is in beta stage, I feel there is no benefit of upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4.2 , I mean pa 3.99 was stable, feature full n fast enough to satisfy all my needs, I need your suggestions that shud I revert back to 4.3 pa 3.99 or stay tuned for a better rom

Using pa 4.0 beta and for me it's stable enough. I use it as my daily driver.
Yes but still missing a lot of pa features

I'd say stick with PA3.99. I mean the whole point of CUSTOM Roms is to have features that stock users dont. I still use Carbon Nightlies and still am on 4.3 JB.
When u finally have the custom features u want, Then upgrade
I use 4.4.2 with gravity box. Works wonderful and sufficient until there is a proper PA release.
