[Q] Best ROM? - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

Guys,
Hello to you all. Question to you all as I'm looking for the best, fast, stable, light, daily driver ROM for Galaxy 5. Also, a plus would be if it was still under development but...
Any advices?
Thanks!

AOKP

I've been using Android 2.3.7 Stock-like for a while and it worked flawlessly.
Long battery life (48+ hours with moderate usage), fast and responsive functionality, minimalistic and, well, stock like.
Give it a go.
I'm currently testing the MegaRom which looks promising. Had some hickups during the first installation attempt (boot loop), then I got it working via Odin/CWM: installed the rom first, then the fix and did a data wipe/factory reset (just this) and reboot after that, works like a charm now.

Best ROM threads aren't allowed on xda.
Use the ROM's and come to a decision yourself.
If this was any other device forum, you'd be shot by now and the thread locked instantly.

+1 very good rom, excellent battery life

I've been using Android 2.3.7 Stock-like and it's working very well. Battery life is great!
Sometimes there are lags and reboots, but compared with ROM stock this ROM is excellent.

What rom do you recommend

Im currently using cyanogen 7.0.1 but I've had issues with this, such as it randomly forgetting my ringtones and so nothing plays when people ring or text, alarms not going off, random reboots and loads of other problems,
So I'm looking to move to another rom, I'm looking for one with good battery life and doesnt have a habit of ****ing up on me, can anyone suggest a rom, wanna get it done tonight
batista 2.1 with siyah 1.8 kernel
works perfectly for me and good battery too
Stock. Best eva

only tried stock.still getting used to Android then I will try some other ROM
I like stock with root.
People are saying good things about the latest XXKI4.
KI3 with jkay installed is good for me right now.
Having said that I'm using different launcher,contact/dialer,messaging.
Battery and performance has been great.

I have been through flash after flash with custom rom at the end i go back to stock. Has been stable ever since. I like the KI3 and currentlt just flashed XXKI4. Just to see what the difference is between them.
I woul recommend back to stock. Just my 2c
Good luck

Have not used all the ROM's that are made, but right now I'm in love with Androidmeda. It removes all the crapware, and the phone feels so quick and responsive.
Converted 3 other friends who own SGS2 onto it, and they all love it.
Criskelorom v26. Freaking awesome

I love Cognition. But I have not tried anything else.
I have tried several roms but I got the best performance/consumption with "MikiMod CarbonOcean v 5.1[KI4]".
Give it a try and you tell us.

+1.
I hate Custom ROM's frankly. Some even remove features than adding. Don't forget it's a Smartphone.
Most of the touchwiz roms are good, most are similar.
CM7 latest nightly is very good.

VillianROM is excellent. Basically stock but much more customizable.
stock now for e dont know much about android very new to it
Leo & Check's CheckROM RevolutionHD V1.0 is what I recommended. fast, long and cold.
personally, i keep going back to criskelos roms
MIUI, it's so pretty on that super amoled plus.
Using lighting rom right now. Like it more than cyanogenmod though

Cognition or CheckROM. Both are very stable. Cognition ran flawlessly on my phone.

Collective Unofficial worked perfectly for me as an everyday device.
I'm currently on the CM9-based ICS ROM...and it still works fine as an everyday device. I feel I get about the same battery life on both those rom's and stock fw.

If you want everything to function correctly and stable and gingerbread go with collective un-official. This thread has the most random chatter not based on bug questions. This tells me that the ROM is very stable and people do not have to post about issues as much.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Saurom requires like 10 minuites of effort by you know what? Read the instructions carefully and you'll have one of the best att note roms to date.
Also my battery life has increased about 10-15% I now get about 4hrs and 30 mins of screen time when before I was getting about an hour less!
Worth the try.
ALSO don't ask any questions because its not that hard to install everything can be searched

Im running Saurom OC'd at 1.83Ghz, its incredibly stable and gets amazing battery life! The OC makes everything a lot more smooth, no more chopiness with loads of widgets on the home screens!

New to the Atrix, ROM Suggestions

I just rooted my wife's atrix. She has had it for over a year and finally let me tinker with it because it has gotten slow and sluggish over the past few weeks. I havent unlocked the bootloader yet as I will need time to backup everything on her device. I'm looking for some good advice to some of the best custom roms for this device. I searched the development forum and noticed some previous work from a few devs that are on the SGS II Skyrocket now (seanz and romracer). I assume that these roms are no longer supported. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There is no dought CM7 is the best for Atrix. Stable and fast.
ICS rom is good, but not stable. Wait oficial release.
Sory for my bad english.

I am using Nottachtrix 1.3.1. It is blur based with quite a few options on install. Very smooth and stable. I would say it is excellent for daily use, unless your wife likes to piddle with settings etc... all of the time. If she doesn't want a blur based rom, I would suggest neutrino. Stable with excellent battery life.
Just my opinions. Good luck.
Either Cm7 or neutrino would be the best ones I think. Both very stable and super fast performance

Losing interest in Cm9 & 10

I have realized that cm9 and 10 will never be properly stable on the ace (and even if they do it will be after a long time, months probably), almost all the releases have battery drain and camera problems.
For me its time to move on and accept that the ace is at its best with gingerbread. What about you guys, what do u think?
i used tosay that to since i needed to have working youtube fully
but with the aokp / pac rom my life changed
its just awesome

but camera takes a lot of battery, around 10 percentage after taking 2 pics. And also the rom lags after flashing gapps.
For now im sticking with Miuixxx, im not having any problems (no reboots), battery should be great (caliberating right now) because of vo-1 and firekernel. And it's fully functional, and the miui look is just great.
Never tried cm10 (yet). Maybe I should. But I can live with gingerbread, for now.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
Well I kinda agree with you, until now there isn't any stable CM9 / 10 ROMs (although developers are doing great job and maybe we might get a stable ics or jb ROM). For now I just stick with CM7 and just trying to make it better with mods, themes and such

I honestly can't wait for JB. I flashed it on my friend's Tmobile GS2 and it was flawless. HQ video wasn't working though. But who uses it anyway.
It was epic nonetheless. Could be officially used as a daily rom. I'm still waiting for the day JB can be used on the Ace like that. I've never tried it. Can someone confirm if it's as fluid as they say it is? The day I try it is gonna be when I decide to use it as my daily rom.

Well, i'm using MIUI SnapSeries for a while and i think its great. Unfortunatelly have battery drain (half day in some cases, without using wifi constantly) camera bugs and others little things, but the rom itself its very fast. I've got 2300 in antutu benchmark with this rom, not even cm7 gave me that. I will try PAC now and see how it's going.
I am using jellaxy CM10 build 5/10/12 with michies's performance package and nims11 Kernel and the ROM runs awesome.
no lags so whatever after using michie's performance package
and Deep sleep works for me even if i use camera and Bluetooth
if u wanna have deep sleep and also wanna use Camera.with preview then download Camera illusion from market and use HD mode.
I turned Bluetooth on and after switching it off I locked my Ace and after that checked deep sleep time and it had increased.
well im sticking with MIUIXXX its really stable (i dnt have reboots or anything), and its eyecandy too

Are you serious ?
but I'm waiting for Camera to be completely fixed
about features cm7 is good enough for phone.. hardware accelerated UI has not been that good on ace in anyway.. ICS launchers are equally smooth on gingerbread... no ICS goodies works good enough
browser improvements was main but stock ics browser lags like hell (chrome not supported ) and on our so called 278 ram size ics runs awful..
GB roxx until i change my phone.. non the less android is so fragmented that gingerbread support will not die until 5-6 years from now

Perfect ROM?

Hi, I was wondering my P500 is getting quite old now, and all this flashing of ROMs has been great but I want to come down to one final decision on the ROM I will use for the rest of my phone's future without changing. I'm looking for a ROM which is fast and snappy, has a conservative battery life, doesn't crash and keep rebooting, looks great and is ICS or JB. That's pretty much all, thank you.

Roms by neko
You can go for gingerbread roms made by neko.
Gingersnap v2.3 or GTR
both are fast and provide better battery life.
I will recommend you Gingersnap v2.3
:angel:
Press thanks if I help you:angel:
It's hard to say, and you are not allowed to ask, but I can tell you my choice:
CM 9.2.2 with my signature's settings ;D
If you don't mind having bad photos of course.
Stop asking such questions ..try your self

Maybe Oxygen GB

I'll tell you my personal choice.
ICY Snap final.. Stable and almost no bugs.. And smooth. I find myself going back to that ROM again and again after trying other ROMs.
JB 4.1.2 works great, so go get it and have fun with it.
Easily findable from Cyanogen, built 20130108 coming w arjen 2.6.35.10
Further get slim gapps version, et voilĂ , be happy. :thumbup:
