What is the Most popular, most downloaded , and best ROM so far....?:fingers-crossed:
Who cares? Look at the views and posts on the rom threads in the dev section.
The most popular ones will probably always be CyanogenMod and AOKP. That doesn't mean they're the best ones though. It's best to experiment - have a flashing day or a flashing weekend, try out the ones that seem interesting to you and pick the one you like the most, don't pick a ROM based on how many downloads it has. That's my advice.
Check Rom for me has been by far the best. My PERSONAL opinion is that it is the best out there.

Their kitchen pro is actually unique and makes flashing a breeze. No more going into CWM. SImple click and install.

I was just wondering, why are there so many stock ROMS in the development section. Dont people here like cyanogenmod roms and miui roms? i am thinking of getting this phone in 2 days
personally, i like what samsung provides as default. to me, some of the custom rom's themes just hurt my eyes ;-)
Cyanogen is still in beta for the GSII, not sure about Miui but I don't think thats ready yet either. Some people say they run Cyanogen and are happy with it but for myself and probably most here, I want a completely stable release and I don't want to be flashing nightlies.

Both cyan and miui roms missing samsung media codec playback , only very crappy google basic remains.
Roms its users choice ,its also developers choice .
Both Cyanogen and MIU are well posted if you look .
personally i dont rate either of them .

I can't stand miui roms and imo cm7 is not as good as (modified) stock

I think its because stock isn't that modular in terms of customizations (they need to change framework apks in /system). Also, you change a kernel a custom rom pops up. Add some icons another one gets added. Change theme colors, yet another one. Its a function of the possible number of combinations.
With cm its mostly barebones. One official kernel also. And theme chooser. Instead of actually downloading a whole ROM with a few tweaks to colors and icons, you just download a theme (which installs as an app and you can change without flashing).
Lastly, stock integrates so much better with the hardware and is actually quite nice. Was running it from when I got my phone up until a few weeks ago.
Lately I just found it to be a bit bulky. So now I'm on insanity ii based on cm7 which is super light.
There are some cm7 based roms, insanity and oxygen.
As cm7 is still beta they don't want people building custom kernels yet, due to the extra load it would put on them due to stupid people reporting bugs in the custom kernels to them.

I have just bought Galaxy S so I'm complete noob here. Previously I owned Galaxy Spica, but this is completely different. I know you are avoiding such questions, but there are so many ROM's, kernels, firmwares that I really can't decide which one to use. I haven't found any up2date comparison between ROM's, so could you please recommend me a good one or at least explain me the main differences?
Thanks.
I guess the question is "What do you need?"
Do you want a flashy shiny rom, there are those, and if you want a minimal rom, there is those. Try some out, I've tried like 20 roms, before i got satisfied..
happy hunting!
I'd like good all-rounder, but if I have to choose, I'd rather have a good looking and usable one. I see that CM, DarkyMod and MIUI are the most popular. Maybe I should choose MIUI, what do you think? Or should I go with GalnetMIUI?
p.s.: I think mods should move this thread to I9000 category
I would recommend this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091 .
Thank you for first solid recommendation. As I'm not allowed yet to post into development section, could you explain me in short what are the advantages over official 2.3.5 (except root)?
CyanogenMod maybe? Ive been using it on many of my phones. Its awesome.

"This ROM will make your Samsung Galaxy S blazing fast". The other advantages are listed in the thread. Check the "Features" section.
ok so the galaxy player has been out for a while now...so my question is when and if anyone at all is creating any custom ROMS for the device? i just think its weird that within a few days there's was stuff out for the galaxy nexus. why cant it be the same for the galaxy player?
I guess you have not seen STeVEs rom .
Make sure you have the right version and country device before installing.
May want to look through the forum first.
A quick look through http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1423 and I see a few Roms for the different galaxy players.
You should not compare the development of these to the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus probably has a larger user group so it probably has more developers working on it. This may be do to the fact that it is a phone so it appeals to more people and the fact that the galaxy nexus was advertised more than the galaxy player so they were able to get more people to buy them.
If you don't think there enough ROMs for the Galaxy Player, you can always start developing one yourself, The android source code is available to you.
if your like me and want a GOOD, reliable rom, then wait. because steves rom is still in its early steps. and has caused many problems for many people. including me.
so just wait for a cyanogenmod or something.
Im trying out the newly released version of Eryigit rom of eng_matt for the internation SGP. touchwiz 4.5 looks great and lots of nice tweaks
I have gone through the forums and checked if not I would not be posting this question. I seen Steve's rom and its just not for me. I my self have the SGP5 some of the stuff on there its for SGP4 or international version, I thought by now there would be tons of rom being that the player has been out for a while.
edit: and while there are some stuff out there for SGP5 its not full roms, that's what I think.

Just rooted my SGS2 with this forums help after got fed up with Samsungs decision to delay even further ICS release for sim free owners. Flashed Pure 7.2 rom and am kinda happy with it. But would like to give a try other roms too. Pure seems to be so much better battery wise then stock. Google experience and most important no bloatware.
Am looking for a smooth and battery friendly rom. Am looking forward for a stable CyanogenMod 9 release but till now exploring the option.
Many thanks in advance ...
There si no such thing as the best rom. The best rom is the one that you prefer, take a look around the SII page and try a few. When you have gone through a few choose which you like and stick with that one
If you want a solid rom then go for checkrom which is gb and based on tw but there is no fully stable ics rom...wait for cm9 to get stable.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
actually there are a few roms that are quite stable... omega, litening as well as wanam are the ones i ve used so far.... although there is still a lot of improvement for these roms, if you wanna check out ics I think they are good enough to give them a try...

Thank you everyone who took their time to post here for me and maybe other interested. Firstly I do really understand that there is no such thing as best. And I really never meant to ask for a best rom. I just wanted advise on what would be at least worth to start to try. Which ones are better out there. I just started rooting as really got fed up with Samsungs delays and some really unnecessary for my liking apps included (like bbc iplayer etc)... There are so many roms that I would not really want trying all. Therefore seeking for advise for some better roms out there. And not in their experimental or so stage.
Thanks @frankimm but as you mentioned its not fully stable yet I will skip it on this occasion.
Thanks @pokkas88 I was actually considering lite'ning rom myself. Will check on omega.
My first flash was and is Pure ICS v7.2. It is nice and stable. yesterday with my regular usage got more then 24 out my regular usage. Where on stock 2.3.4 would last only half a day... But something is not right with contacts there. Was lagging when trying to organised and join contacts (google, facebook, skype...) and phone app seems laging a bit too. therefore a bit annoying. otherwise solid and stable rom....
Still hope to hear more opinions...
forgot
forgot to mentioned. Roms with better support from other developers would be probably priority. What I mean the roms that get dedicated addons as I undestadand addons are compatible only with certain roms. And would not really want to get creative in trying to force addons whilst am still learning here...
I highly recommend Hydrog3n rom - I've upgraded to this from Check ROM, prior to finding this I tried several other ICS AOKP to find stability issues, I have to say this is a fantastic rom and cannot recommend you try it enough.
Failing this, Check ROM was great; I had issues with it rebooting or not reconnecting to my mobile network if I lost signal, and ultimately I wanted to do away with Stock so I went for an AOKP rom.
Omega is my fav especially black blue theme

My hones opinion and just in the process of deleting ICS rom number twelve . Non are up to scratch and ICS is not as good as 2.3.6 .
jje
I recommend "Resurrection ics remix" by westcrip. it is really stable. And soon he will publish 4.0.4 AOKP. just give him a try
Just try them all until you like one, there is no other way

Since it doesn't really appear to be allowed to ask for good ROMs, how can I find a ROM that fits my needs?
I'm basically looking for a list of ROMS that are compatible with my device. By "compatible with my device" I mean that it should support display output through the HDMI and of course support for all the other hardware compunents. My device is a Xperia Neo V btw.
If I remember it correctly I need an ICS or GB ROM.
So is there a nice list that allows a complete noob like me to find out which ROM could be my best or at least a good choice?
Maybe a list with descriptions or feature lists so that I can tell which ROM I like the most.
And of course it would be nice if the list would only contain or mark compatible ROMs.
I'm also looking for a list of compatible kernels.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Ferivon

While searching for roms/kernels, it's best to see in the development section of your forum. In your case, here it is :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Try to use a more recent rom as it is easy to get support for them if anything goes wrong.
Thanks, but the problem with this link and also with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
is that I have to read the thread of every ROM/kernel to estimate if they fit my needs. :/
And there are soo many, it makes it really difficult for a noob like me. I mean I don't even know the differences between ICS and GB. :/

Sadly yes, that's the only way to choose a rom. Spend sometime reading the threads, see screenshots (Try to keep an eye on the buglist too !)
For your second question about choosing ICS or GB. I won't go much deeper, You just have to keep in mind that a newer android version means better user experience, compatibility with more apps and so on. Hope this helps you
In general, KK>JB>ICS>GB
That's sad, well, thank you anyway.

i agree with you. I just need a rom that would be smooth for a lot of time. Most roms stuck after a month. I am looking for more that 5 months and I am still looking. I try the GB releases, they are quick but the applications crash all the time. Then I try ICS releases I find 3-4 really good releases but everyone of them had a different problem and after a month it was really slow. Now i am trying some KK releases. I try 3 releases. 2 of them was good at the begin. Only the one still works after 2 weeks. It got some bugs but it still works.
I will recommend you some releases to try.
Gingerbread: Gin2KitKat, Spacious GB
Ice Cream Sandwich: Spacions ICS, Superleggera, Ultimate HD
Kit Kit: ParanoidAndroid
This till now... You will find all of them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Currently using Mike's CM11, before this I'm using Jelly Vanilla EX(that smooth Jellybean 4.2.2) and I settled on that rom for almost half years(nice for me)
And as usual, it's hard to recommend roms because everyone has different needs. If you wish to find a good-enough rom, try it by yourself and feel it :thumbup:
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
If you want to go for jellybean (4.1.2) then I have been using Super JellyBean on my device since long... Its stable and battery friendly.
Moreover you may try other roms to suit your needs
You may find the thread regarding this on device's development section
Hope this helps
