Recommend me custom ROM

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!

Well flashing a custom rom means to put another rom in your phone which is better and faster than the original stock 2.1 or 2.2 roms!! many bugs are removed in the custom roms!!

I will pay for a KE7 deodexed Stock Rom

Want to play with Theming and it appears I need a Deodexed Rom
Like in the title
I cannot for the life of me find an S2 KE7 deodexed STOCK ROM anywhere or any 'resonable' tutorial on how to do it.
So if anyone has one Samsung Stock, Id be happy to pay for it

There is a thread with all the links and tools needed to deodex any official rom of your choosing so why pay when there is everything available right here?
I am sure if you ask nicely one of the dev's will be able to give you a hand.

Here is the link if you did not know about it already

Yeah I saw that thread. It looks crazy long and need to install alot of tools. Also I noticed in the replies in thread that its not that easy and will come across problems. Im new to the whole thing and was worried I might break something.
But Ill give it a go I guess.
Thanks

The only way to get it right is practice. Just follow the guide to the letter and you should be fine.

[Q] Which Custom ROM is better ?

Hi Guys,
I am new to Android world and recently jump into Custom ROM things.
In one of the post, I've found there are lots of Custom ROMs available.
Now from them, how can i decide which on is good for my device(Samsung Galaxy 3-I5801).
Please help.

U can try your choice of ROM if u want...just download 2-3 ROMs and then select which u feel is the best

That was a joke, right? Are you saying that some ROMs that just came out (but still most of them are better than, lets say indroid OR any other ROM) are not as good because they dont have that many views? Views are same as nothing... You can get +10000 views easily with cheating (like stealing someones work)
@OP go check the FAQ thread, its the first thread in general section and there is a best custom ROM thread!
My idea was not to insult anyone, but if i did then please feel free to PM me and we can sort it out

Yes. That s what everone is saying. I first heard this news from Dharam on Facebook.

you have read a lot before choice the ROM and installing them...
And i strongly recommend you to read many threads about customs roms and how to installing the ROM if you dont want to do every thing smoothly..

what..? when and y..?

being new i would suggest you too to read the posts for new users then you would understand what you want....every ROM will have a few things different than others, and you will seldom have one ROM for all <atleast as of now>....i myself have 7 ROMs now, but cant pick one to be best. I would strongly suggest you to install G3Mod kernel which gives u functionality of multiboot, then you can have system.img of various ROMs and u can switch between them and decide which one suits u most. everyone is here to help you in future incase u need
welcome to G3 community

none!
each rom is filled with a lot of props,customizations....
and all this will result in force closes,battery drain etc....custom kernel is also a major culprit....you will eventually get irritated
get JPM and customize it yourself

The ROM that works the best for me (again, for me), is GreenMods POX 1.5, removing the default MIUI like launcher and TW launcher and installing LauncherPro. Is light, fast, stable and it doesn't come filled with much stuff.
If I was you I'd give it a try

The advantages of root are the same as on your old device.
You can, there are a lot of tutorials around that show exactly how.
Through a custom recovery
Just disable root. Use search
Your a big boy (I suppose) use search and do some research.

Yes men, before i post this i search a find awsner´s , but in this forum are so many post´s of the same but with different awsner that i put my question here!
I wanna root my nexus 4 and try other ROM´s , but i don´t know if i after install a custom ROM and then flash the Stock again and for example, the Android 4.4 KitKat get´s release if i go check my update will be there for i update, you know what i mean ? can you awnser that for me please ?
But i will have some research, and thank you for your awsner and sorry for anything.

Just root it and play around with all the custom roms. The curiosity will eventually make you do it and if you end up not liking it u can always go back to stock.

Is there any way to change font style without rooting nexus 4? I'm really frustrated with this font style.! Please advise!

No, to install fonts you need to have access to the /system partition which you do not have unless you are rooted.
Rooting a nexus is very easy though.

Yes, you do. But with apps like titanium and carbon, you've got everything backed up. Everything else is synced with google. I don't find it too hard to do full wipes after the second time you do it.
