[Discussions] Best ROM for G3 - All other "Best Rom" threads will be purged.
Hi all,
This is the discussion thread of our Galaxy 3 ROMs. Including Froyo, Gingerbread & ICS. Ups & Downs in every ROM, Suggestions to the Dev, Problems facing & their solutions etc.
Your opinion counts which will help in evolution of custom ROMs. Of course, It all depends on your personal preferences. But still...
Some ROMs notable alphabetically...
Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe)
Dutchmods
ICS for G3
Kyora ROM
Kyrillos ROM
Purumod ROM
Sekhy ROM
Vivek's ROM
A Note: Please do not hurt personally anybody.
Thanks in advance,
Sekhar
MOD Message:
This thread has been created for open discussions about ROMs and their features and to share your opinions only - NOT TO IMPOSE YOUR OPINION. I will keep a strict watch on this one!
Thanks, thread stuck.. maybe an idea to list the roms as well..
I like the ICS UI better than any laucher ones
For GB : CM7 is the best
For Froyo (JPU) : Kyorarom 5.2 with G3Mod 2.3 kernel non-oc (flash manually the kernel) -> very stable, ultra fast, and, for my dad, the most battery efficient Rom (5-6 days per charge and 1 week if you use nothing).
Im a freshman in flashing roms, im doing this for about 2 months now. And i can say that
Cynogenmod Port is the best for our Galaxy 3, of course Kyrillos Rom based on CM7-A7 will stand next to the first one. Although on Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe) we dont have full bluetooth function and camera is black/white, but its very stable.
Hmmm..Tough Question!
I have tried Kyorarom and Kyrillos and I find Kyrillos v9.5 better than Kyorarom 0.5.2,both in case of battery backup and performance Kyrillos exceeds Kyorarom.
Kyorarom needs to be refined a little and everything will be fine, coz am having lag problems on it.
Still got to try Sekhy's and DutchMod. I am having download problems as of now so will try both the ROMs and report soon.

Have tried and did not pass Boot Loop in the following ROMs
1. Kyora ROM
2. Kyrillos ROM
Used Vivek's ROM for 2 days and it was fantastic, but the data usage while roaming drained me completely..but one of the best for G3.
Currently use CM but CM needs to be tweaked continuously for better battery and results. The features that CM 7.1 has is great. All working fine
Have tried CM 6.2 too and was happy.
The only ROM to beat CM on features is WIUI, but WIUI does not support G3 currently
Hope this helps!
Well, I have tried plenty of ROMs for G3 (from the latest e.g. Kyorarom v0.5.2, Kyrillos 9.5, CM 6.2...) but all of them beats CM 7.1 modded by Kyrillos - GWK74.
It´s fast as hell, stable, pretty good battery backup (3 days of moderate usage).
The only thing I miss are video codecs for avi format, which were in froyo ROMs.
And another suggestion it would be great if Fugumod Ultra kernel would support Gingerbread ROMs...don´t know if it´s possible, but it´s performance in froyo is epic
Tried many ROMs but i find the Kyrillos version of cm7 the best....
On a serious note, i think the stock JPU ROM is insanely smooth and fast I'm using it right now and app opening times, scrolling etc. are really fast and smooth. Battery backup is also awesome compared to Kyrillos' ROM V 9.5 where the battery lasted 1 day of heavy usage then 1 day of hardly any usage because i was scared to waste the battery half the way through the day in case i got any important phone calls.
In my Opinion the cm7 port is the best not only cause you can change your design via cm7 but also performance and battery is very good here, had kyrollos before but yeah i wanted something new and with cm7 port i have much mor fun with my phone
ICS
As long as you don't need bluetooth and camera badly, i actually think ICS is pretty amazing. It's good enough for daily use now at least, almost at CM7 level.
My opinion =
For daily usage: Stock rom (I recommend XXJPS or DDJP4)
Need for speed? : Kyorarom , Kyrillos' rom
Classic rom : Vivek's rom or Purumod
For showing off: CM7, ICS, AOSP original ginger port by marcel

Hi Sekhar,
Could you add the link to each of these ROM threads - and have a comparison [a fair one] for the benefit of the community?
I've not tried Purumod, Sekhy etc..
And what is the funda is installing a ROM from earlier version?
For Instance, Your ROm suggests that the earlier version be installed first..I'm foxed here

Sekhys ROM for Gb is fantastic. Nice user experience and great display for normal use.
But Videos are Laggy and other than mp4 formats dont play..
Bloatware IMO is avast and Battery XL Both can be removed by force closing the apps and uninstalling them in applications
Like Kyrillos' v9.5 most. Of course I didn't like battery life with 'default' g3mod kernels especially when I was using 2g/3g internet connection so I flashed Astrum v 1.0 from moikop and now everything works like a charm ;-)

Same here, hope K 10. will get rid of battery drain prob.
...tried Kyrillos' 10 Beta 1 over the weekend and performance and battery drain is really ok.
of course there are still some probs as the black/white preview when taking pictures with camera and didn't get bluetooth connection to send/receive some files; but as pictures are taken in colour (seen when accessed on sdcard) and files can also send by wireless (f.e. airdroid) or usb connection (cable) i can live with it. also having data2sd with link2sd (s2e didn't work properly for me; corrupted my sdcard)
perhaps i'll flash K 10 beta2 end of next week?!

ROM: Kyrillos' ROM v10 Beta1 GWK74
KERNEL: CM kernel 1.3 Included (UV fixed)
none of you tryed DM? I like to hear some feedback for improvements
Hi guys
To help noobs like me and others with different experiences, I would like to launch a quiz feeded with your information about the best system for Galaxy S. I'm talking about what you have and/or what you would like to:
ROM: Team ICSSGS RC4.2
KERNEL: Semaphore 0.9.1
I like it very much but ready to try others.
Thank you all
If you're getting started to flashing on the SGS i'd say the best bet is start with Darky's ROM, the 10.2 RE version is easily flashable over ODIN in a couple of steps with absolutely no preparation work required to flash. (except charge the battery )
The rom is fast, very smooth and stable and has great battery life and even has it's own app, which is great for customizing your phone easily, fixes, themes, tweaking settings/lockscreens and even deleting system apps.
The ROM has it's own complete community for helping it's users, and if you're new to flashing it's a great place to start off, in Darky's forum sheltered from the wild flashing jungle.
It's great for anyone who wants a no fuss, stable and fast rom which works out of the box with minimal effort
My current set up on Darky;
Darky's ROM 10.2.2
DarkCore Kernel
XXJVQ Baseband
But i personally plan to move onto Gamerzrom soon, as the dev has thrown in every possible performance script available for the SGS and has done a fantastic job at making sure his ROM works and is all stable. It's currently a JVU base, but i think he's headed to ICS and i'll gladly wait for him to work hard and tune a nice stable ICS build for Gamerzrom and then flash his build. If he doesn't head to ICS i'm not worried, a stable working and fast rom is all i want and he's seems to have that nailed to a point
ROM: Dark Knight v3
Kernel: Devil Kernel (1.1.16?)
Cant notice any bugs
Great Battery life
Ice Cream Sandwich *-*
Rom: CM9 B17+ (with "+" I mean newest kang)
Kernel: Devil's Kernel (Tuchwake is awesome!)
I prefere CM9 cause of the "energy management buttons" in the notifaction bar
also I suggest you to take a look for the appex launcher (from market)

Rom:WeUi miui v4
Kernel:Midnight 0.7.9
I like miui and this rom is fabulous!
The kernel work very well no delay and no block...
Inviato dal mio GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk
ROM : AOKP build 28 / Nova Launcher
Kernel: Semaphore 0.9.7 (Gov=SmartassV2, Sched=SIO, Deep Idle, Lock min 100 MHz)
Modem : XXJVT
Battery : Akku-King 3.7V / 1800mAh
Mod/Apps: i9000_zeitgeist181_Noble_black_weather.zip / only the statusbar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536330)
NSTools v1.15 (service for BLN / missed calls)
Great Battery Life (2-3 Days),
and yes i´m working with my phone, 2 Exchange push (Touchdown and Stock Email), BT and WIFI always on...
I´ve testet many ROMs with different Kernels (Stock,CM7,DARKY,CM9,KANG,ICSSGS,CNA,DarkNight,AOKP),
i was looking for a port for 2 devices (Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 10.1),
and was actually on AOKP (ICS 4.03), with the same look and feel...
Rom: Slim Ics 3.0
Kernel: Stock
Modem: XXJVT
Of all the ROM, but my favorite and most stable team ICSSGS RC 4.2 Plus 0.9.1 Semaphore (Gov. = SmartassV2, Sched = no-op *, Deep Idle, Lock min 100 MHz)
Battery: Akku-King 1800mAh
Holds 3 days and 17h. I put that picture in the thumbnail but it does not allow me due to the limited possibilities of links
Exaggerating when using the (FB, e-mail and twitter), holds a solid 22 hours
It was the modem that JVU fossa along the RC 4.2. For now testing the modem JW4 Valuepack

I've made a list of all JB,ICS and GB ROMS & KERNELS for the I9000 out here .
I know you may find a couple of threads like this.But the main difference is this thread contains all the three versions of android.
I will update the thread on a daily basis(almost daily) and i would like to add a few info about every rom .
It will help you to you choose an JB ,ICS or GB Rom or Kernel.
Since there are a lot a roms coming up daily based on CM9/AOKP and other people are just adding applications/MODS and re-ziping the rom which are of no use so i will add only those rom which have significant changes in it.
I will try to add ROMs from other sources also if they are worthy enough.

Sorry guys was out on a holiday back online ,will update the list right now
I've had quite a lot of issues concerning smoothness and speed on my C5303 Xperia SP running any ROM based off of CyanogenMod. Changing gapps have helped somewhat (I use PA Pico gapps now) and have wiped (dalvik) cache, wiped data, switched ROMs etcetera. I don't expect it to be as fast as a Nexus 6 or anything like that, and I'm not blaming anyone – it seems only I am experiencing these issues. I've settled on Paranoid neXus as in my experience (apart from the stock ROM) is the smoothest ROM available (keep it up, Nexus Prime!)
I've made this thread for people to share tips and tricks concerning the SP and CM11 on making it as smooth and as fast as possible. If you do have any tips, please feel free to share them below this post.
Top tips:
Use a small Google app (or 'gapps') package (like Paranoid Android's, which work on any 4.4 ROM) to regulate how much unnecessary software that runs on your phone from the day you installed the ROM.
Use the battery pane in Settings to find any dodgy apps which might be using up the battery under your nose.
PA is indeed great! However I'm currently using MIUI 4.3.7 as my daily driver for about a month or so. It's by far the smoothest ROM available, i just wish we could have an update to 4.4.4, as i'm unable to use a lot of apps.

Yeah, I'm a KitKat fan. I would probably start using my Lenovo a bit more if it hadn't got the stupid Lenovo 4.2.2 software on.
And plus, it's horrible to hold, as the plastic bends with even the lightest touch.
My top advice is to use minimal X+ gapps (link in my sig). These gapps not only are small in size but also removes some unnecessary stuff (which I would use anyway).
I use omnirom with PA pico gapps in ART mode with williams kernel v7 with intelliactive governor and sio and it is so smooth and fast.
Omni is not based on cyanogen.
LBL CM11 + Wheatly + Fly-On MOD = Great Performance and battery life
CM11 MrSteve with mini PA Gapps having awesome speed, smoothness and battery life

Is it worth using omnirom after the dev stopped work on it?
Omnirom is definitely the fastest available rom apart from stock based. I tried to switch to MrSteve's latest cm11 yesterday but when I loaded all the same apps I had on Omnirom onto it it was just too slow... So I'm back on a two month old build of omni! It's worth it though! Multitasking is sometimes laggy, that's the only problem I've experienced. Apart from that it's ?
I am tired of stock rom
Can anyone suggest the best rom available
Phone will be used as daily driver(snapchat also)
Stock ,CM,RR any rom.
Sorry for bad english.
Thankyou
The two roms I liked the most were
Power Of Debloat Octanote Version A because it is so lightweight and has less bloat. Plus most of the system ui and apps are Note 5 or Galaxy S7 themed. Its pretty neat
Also FirstFlight 5.5 Note 7 themed is also pretty amazing. It goes even deeper and has Note 7 themed system UI and everything. The only problem I have with this rom is that battery life takes a huge hit. Power of Debloat is nice on the battery. Try these two and tell me what you think. Be sure to take Nandroid backups in your custom recovery and follow all steps posted by respective developers on flashing each rom. Be sure to only install the rom for your device. Galaxy S4 i9500. I made that mistake by flashing a rom not meant for my phone and it bricked.
Please note that I haven't use RR on my S4 but I have used it on many others and would recommend and try it too. Tell me how it all went.
Ale95 Note5 Port is the best ROM for me
Because I have been tested many ROM like CM, GearCM, RR, and other
This ROM have a good battery life, and my device not overheating again
Trust Me Bro :good:

I know..I used ROM and it was the best ..but snapchat was not working on that ROM and I am a heavy user of snapchat..
Prism barebone v16 from last year (Not v17, v16). If you are not so interested in note5 or s7 themed apps, this is for you. It is discontinued but with the highest performance and best battery life among stock-based ROMs.

I always have some bugs in other stock-based ROMs. For example, I found Octanote a little too debloated that some apps crash all the time such as Calculator. Other bloated ROMs have very mediocre battery life, I think all those themes and unnecessary Note apps like Air Command, SNote cause unnecessary drain.
CM based ROMs (Alberto 6.0.1) have better performance than any stock-based ROMs but it has some bugs that cannot be solved (Exynos sources are not accessible for free developers.), such as in-call echo (Other side hears his/her own voice.) and (sometimes) camera crash.
I usually end myself on stock-based ROMs that debloated and rooted for battery life. However, if you're power user who prefers performance boots, GearCM and RR would be your choice.
