Hello people.
I've read very much in the forum and I'm a bit confused.
Right now I've a stock ROM with Feb update.
I rooted it and applied the recovery from Foliomod v1.4.
Now I'm wandering which is the best ROM to be applied (also in terms of stability) and which recovery is the more safe and versatile for future ROM flash.
Can someone be so kind to illuminate me ?
Thanks in advance.

I have 2.1.71 as a baseband, and noticed there are no threads about this (as far as I can tell, the highest i saw was .67.
Can I still downgrade? If so, please provide a link. I just want a nice, easy custom ROM to use.
Also, can someone please help with Custom ROM installation? Any ROM will do, just give a step by step walkthrough on how to do it, or provide a link to a walkthrough. Doesn't matter which custom ROM, just any.
ANOTHER question: I flashed my firmware, to x10i. My phone is originally an x10a. Is that bad? I've been using it for awhile and there've been no problems.
And which one is more supportive of custom ROMS?
if u want a custom ROM based on android 2.3 then all uses baseband 2.1.71 so no need to downgrade imo !! any ROM can be choosen like depends on ur usage coz every ROM out there has some different features !! installing a ROM is a easy task and mostly the ROM thread consists of the instructions on how to install ROM
and check these links both will be of great help

hi . this is ashok from mumbai , india . i have a used tmobile vibrant sgh-t959 bought from a friend . the phone has the following attributes - firmware version - 2.2.1, baseband t959uvkb5, kernel version - 2.6.32.9 overstock-1.2ghz-v2.4.1#8, build number zsjpk, rom version galaxy extreme v2.1-gsdt. also there is a clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.3 - voodoo lagfix in place . i am interested in installing an ics rom which is very similar to the google version and also has a better battery life. would the ics slim 4.0.4 ver 3.2 satisfy my needs or is there a better alternative for me considering my needs as above ? i would appreciate someone giving me a link to a step by step guide for ics installation since i am new to bootloaders, odin and similar things and i have heard they are risky business . please help me friends @ xda . thank you .

Yes you would root using the CF-root kernel first, then you can start to use custom roms.
You could just install proper CF-Root kernel for your firmware. You have wider options to select the proper firmware yourself.
NeatROM is exactly that. Official Firmware + CF-Root.

aprat from KIES update there are 2 ways,
1) official ICS flash from ODIN, 2) Custom Roms flash from CWM
for official you dont need Rooting,
for flashing Custom Roms from CWM you need Rooting & CWM.
Official Roms :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
custom Roms you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
rooting and Odin flash guides are there in my signature links

OP Kies is your official update path download it from Samsung .
Or the XDA path as posted above but you will need to read and understand .

thank you Zacq8 and Jjegan..
thanks for quick response, suggest me which is the best and less battery consuming ROM for sg2? Official or custom?
Neither. No such thing as best. Less battery depends on how you have the phone setup & how you use it (everyone is different). Try some roms out for yourself to find out which works best for you.

What suggested by Mistahbungle +
only what we can answer as per the rule is, By flashing official ROM you will not get any suppot from Samsung, by flasing a custom rom you may get support from it's Developer through his thread in this forum.
in development section, there are not only a single post of ROM of each custom Rom thread but there are prolonged discussions on each one, go through them before selecting one...
Hi
I have recently upgraded my CheckRom. After finding out the huge instabilities it has, no CWM Support and a chance to brick my phone I am getting paranoid over how to change my rom. I kinda feel like stuck!
Can anyone please at least guide me what should I do (safe way) to change this Rom, and if possible any suggestion for a stable ICS rom
Thanx
Darsej
Flash stock with Odin, after that CF-Root/Siyah and then any ROM you wish.
Are there any threads describing these procedures... I once rooted this phone and from that point always used CWM for swapping roms!!! My powers beyond this point are useless in this case!
Thanx
