New to ROMs and stuff! I am currently on (Gingerbread) DarkyROM JVQ v10.2 on my i9000 Galaxy S. I used Launcher Pro just fine for months, but using TouchWiz 4.0 for the past week or so. The phone freezes a lot of reboots itself heaps! My phone is starting to clutter now, so I want to re flash a fresh ROM. I need something that is gingerbread, looks great and is super fast. I was thinking about the MIUI. Someone please gimme some ROMs that would work from my current ROM/kernel etc.
Thanks heaps!
miui rom is better for theme and appearance but for good battery back go for stockwares like jvs etc..and in custom roms amestris is best for battery bsck up.plus go for darky if battery drain is not an issue..

Tip: Galnet MIUI
A ROM I learned to love (on my Defy, no experience on the Galaxy S, but it will probably run even better on the Galaxy S) is Galnet MIUI: http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/download/
Looks great, runs stable and smooth, relatively good battery life, multi language. And MIUI has a great community behind it (Updates weekly, many themes you can install easily).
I have been using Darky's Rom on my i9000, I tried several but finally settled on Darky's. The final quality, speed and reliability are great for my international travels. CM7 took a bit too long getting to it so I never bothered. Although there may be something newer and better as I haven't looked in over a month, I have been focusing my attention on sprint gs2.

I come from the i9000 and on my good old i9000 I used Juwe's rom, and that was good, but in here, there is a lot of active developing, and its been a bit hard to see which are truly the best roms. Can anyone tell me which are the best roms, cleanest, with the most battery life and with no extra bugs in comparison to the stock roms. I've been eyeing the GingerMOD. I've always wanted the stock android experience, but way too much content has been wiped and it worries me. So, recommend me a rom!
Stock Ki3 would suit you best because the stock ROM is perfect if you like the stock experience however if you like to have the freedom of adding/removing themes, apps and tweaks then Revolution ROM is definitely the most popular ROM at the moment for that because of the Kitchen App and constant support
Villain ROM was by far the best ROM I used prior to changing to Revolution and it looks and feels very stock.
I believe any ROM using Ki3 firmware will have the best battery life it is just a preference over which kernel might provide added savings
For me stock xxki3 is the best. I also use ragemod kernel which extends battery life considerably.
The new Batista rom is worth a look very nice smooth and battery lifes great.

I higly recommend checkROM, everything works, its close enough to stock but has jkay for themes and extended power menu. checkROM and revolution are supposed to be teaming up so you can expect even more awesomeness.

There is no such thing as a "best" ROM.
What's right for someone else may not be right for you. Trial and error are your friends.
Which GB Rom out there currently has most stable GPS and battery life? I know of the few GB roms out there like Simply, i9000 ports, and Juwe 6.0, but which one nails the best on your own experience?

CM7.1
I've been running nightly 157 since it was built. Runs flawlessly.
I too would like everyone's opinions on this.
I've been using CM 7.1 since it's "stable" release, it runs great and I'm a long-time CM user. But it's not without it's faults; 911 dialing is broken, when toggling the GPS the phone won't go to sleep and the battery drains.
Plus, CM has removed the Vibrant from it's list of supported devices. Nobody on the CM development team currently owns a Vibrant and there doesn't seem to be much hope that it will change.
MiUi. Yes 911 dialing doesn't work on this rom either, but otherwise it works great. Good battery life as well.
Phiremod cm7 excellent everything especially battery life I charge it every two days

in my opinion miui with the platypus kernel is the most stable gb rom. But thats comparing roms that aren't final.
What about Juwe 6.0? Anyone been using that?

Hello
I have just come from a htc sensation with an ICS rom with nova launcher, getting around 20 hours battery life and a no bugs ICS experience with nova launcher and a few tweaks such as miui battery bar, centre clock etc.
I am currently using pure ICS with nova launcher set the way I want and it's very good but the battery lasts about 8 hours and there are no tweaks.
Are there any other ICS roms with better battery life and some tweaks? I can always put nova launcher on top if it is not in the rom.
I don't use the phone an awful lot and have the exact same apps andwidgets as on my sensation, hence why the battery life is strange to me, is this normal for a sgs2?
I was using the same rom , then Andyx from both ics and battery life on both was pants, I then flashed cm9 experimental which is now on nightlies and I think its the dogs bollox, only downside is no USB connect to PC until they fix it, but using from manager premium you don't need a PC anyway everything is straight to the phone, a minor hiccup for an awesome rom

Have you got a link for that rom? I can't find it anywhere
Might as well wait for release of genuine Samsung ICS .

I have been using CM9 and it's working amazing only thing is you need to live with no MTP, video recording and certain other things I forget *thats what google is for* I highly recommend it!

you could try WajkIUI if you like MIUI im on this rom for 2 weeks now and i'm really impressed
you could also wait about 2 weeks for ics to be released officially by Samsung
Whatever happened to trying out ROMs for yourself......
ICS is so 2011 we want Jelly Bean
ALL ICS roms which I've tried are not suitable for day to day use. CM9 by codeworx was the best I tried. better wait for a stable release.
this is a beautifull rom [ROM][ICS]XXLPH SconcauTeam Revolution Custom ROM GS2 OTA version
Resurrection Remix ics v9.4 black edition XXLPH 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe is a nice rom - has a few bugs though ... f.e. i cant change the lockscreen image ... the gallery keeps crashing... i had problems syncing google calendar...
well there are some small problems, but its a nice rom so far - pretty stable, smooth and fast.

Great ROM. I didn't experience any FC's. Battery life is good. In my case 0 bugs so highly recommended! Check it out and see for yourself.

I don't want to try loads of roms, my main concern with my current one is the battery life so testing lots of roms isn't great for me as I need my phone at work, that's why I asked peoples opinions. I just want a nice ICS rom with a few tweaks and good battery life. I hate touch wiz so the official ICS update is no good for me.
The sgs2 is a lot faster than my sensation but with my current battery life I would rather swap back to the slower phone and get nearly three times the battery life.
There are also a lot of roms for the s2 hence why I asked people rather than trying loads and they also get updated nearly every day.
I suggest you don't go for ics just yet if your only real concern is battery and as for tw, tough luck I'm afraid.
Try the latest stock gb with neak custom kernels. Best battery life I ever had. Oh and on the subject of best roms, that's totally down to personal configuration.

Yes but ICS is a beta test rom base why not wait for roms to be built on the actual working firmware . I have yet to see one ICS beta based rom that does not have a problem or two and they tend to be random and varied judged by all the help ICS rom xxx dont work posts . Plus battery life is not that good on the leaks .
You might get ten replies that ICS zzz rom is good but wont see the hundred users that have removed it .

For instance, I have installed and uninstalled both LPH* and LitePro's ROM based on LPH*. Just don't even bother until the official build is released.

M current ICS ROM
If its any help, i'm using AndyX ROM v5.3. I haven't updated it yet to v6.0 since that has problems with the camera and gallery. Resurrection ICS is really nice but it makes my phone hot for some reason so i dont use it.

IMHO, best ICS rom out there. Using it for 5 days now (heavy user) - not a single FC in 5 days, very stable, fast, customization options rock! Battery life 12 hours really heavy usage / 24 hours moderate usage. No bugs, except video not saving and no FM radio, but these are known...
what would be the best rom to go to for my atrix?
It really depends on your daily usage and user style. I can tell you that you have 3 options:
2.3.4/2.3.6 Blur Based roms: Roms based on official motorola roms. They are very stable and have all the stuff working. Including Webtop. When i want a Blurred rom, i go with Nottachtrix 4G. Pretty sick and stable rom. Only complain so far is battery life. Blur roms tend to be a little laggy because they have lots of motorola stuff and they make the phone laggy.
CM7: Based on GB. Lots of good stuff and great customization. Great battery life. They have almost all the features working. Only problem with them is that they currently doesn't support webtop.
CM9: Based on ICS. Right now they are on beta stage so they have some bugs still that need to be worked on. We have no drivers for our processor, so the devs are having a hard time coding everything right now, and the deving is a little slow. Currently we have two CM9 roms Jokersax's and Turl1's. They are co-deving so the builds are pretty similar.
Thats about everything we have on the Atrix right now. You better.test them all and decide by yourself.

I am running the cm7 rom right now after trying a couple of them and it is by far the best one I have used. Battery life is great and it realllllly fast. I also have the faux123 1.45 oc kernel. And altogether I have not found anything that works better for me personally.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Nobody can tell you what the best ROM to use is.... Everyone looks for different things in their ROMs... Some like MIUI (which i dont get, if you want your device to look like an iPhone, then buy an iPhone....) Some like CM7, some like stock based.... you'll have to just play aroud with some ROMs and decide whats best for you.
Hey All,
What is the best stable (full featured) ROM for the x10i? Last ROM I installed was TEAM ROM v4.0 a year ago, recently upgraded to an S3 and am handing down old faithful to my daughter and want to get it running smoothly for her....she is technically inclined so I need something that is G2G no additional flashing or modding required. Any current recommendations appreciated...I realize that most ICS ROMS will be out of the questions...that is fine, GB = Happy. Thanks in advance.
PS - When I wiped the phone the home button lost its binding...working to wake the screen, but not as a multifunction button.
Hi bro,
if you like SONY's UI Achotjan V2 should be the best option, link :

I agree with Jakuburban. DonatHD 2.2.9 is best GB rom for X10i. Recommendations......

Hay ..
all ROM for Xperia is good, but for ICS and JB there are some bugs. For example, Video Recording. If you intend to try but note that there is a problem faced by other users who have installed first.:silly:
Cm7zmod is the best, hands down. The performance offered by ZMOD eclipses all other gingerbread roms, even donutHD.
Achotjan Stock Remplacement Rom V2 is my best rom :good:
D
the best rom is donat hd
its smooth and stable and its jellybean/ics themed , its awesome
Few ROMs Usage - Comments
Hi all,
Just wanted to share a bit of my own personal experience with a few of the X10 roms i tried for some time.
Keep in mind that the daily use was more or less the same for all ROMs and is as follows:
Telephony(calls), data usage (both wifi & 3G), gaming (quite a lot actually), camera (videos + pics), music and even watching videos (rarely).
- Stock 2.3.3: used this for a long time, once it was officially released by SE. When i bought the X10 it had 1.6!! then went to 2.1.
Then i joined the xda family here. Anyways, the overall 2.3.3 rating was that UI is slow and battery drainage is high. (I even charged it twice during a single day!!!)
- CM7-ZMOD-003: used for months. Overall rating was that UI speed is noticeably much faster than stock, but battery drainage is slightly better than with stock 2.3.3.
What i did not like so much was that i had to add another launcher because most toggle widgets i use would not work on the built in loader. Don't know why.
- Then i went back to stock 2.3.3 and tried various themes, launchers (like GO EX, Galaxy S3) but this only made UI much slower (response) and battery drained faster.
The look was nice but as long as you add extra stuff, its only logic that the power drain increases and UI performance decreases.
- FeraLab*** ICS v4 (17/11/2012) - Finally, i wanted to try this (obviously)
Had to learn to unlock BL which was interesting and finally was able to do it ..(after reading carefully - many thanks to all who contribute).
Used it for a month until recently.
The major difference in my case, was that the battery drain was much much less than with any other ROM of the above. This is a major PLUS!.
The only downside was that UI is a little slower but this is expected as the 4.x OS needs more power to sustain, since the X10 was not built for 4.x OS.
Another major factor for me was that, some of the games i played on any 2.x.x OS, will not run on the 4.x OS, like Plants vs Zombies (which is one of my favorites),
I have 3 different apk's saved but either of them work on ICS. Probably they are written for 2.x OS only.
So, now i'm back to stock 2.3.3 and will try a few other candidates that are in xda and see if i finally decide to stay on one, or simply buy a newer phone and more powerful one.
Since i am rather new at all this, i would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributes to xda in any way.
Just wanted to share something back.

Eros

If you have the money, go for a new phone. The X10 is more like a ghost these days. Or you could try CM10 by scritch007, which everyone says is really smooth. There's also donutHD, which will give a good stock-based ROM (imo not nearly as smooth as ZMOD, but has better battery life). Or you could try on of the gaming ROMs, those are sure to have the maximum free RAM available..
