eclair, froyo, ics, etc are versions.
cm, darky, criskelo, omega are all roms that are modded. mods on the other hand are specific changes that do not include the whole rom with it. it depends on having a rom as a base to install onto.
stuff like removing charging notifications or add camera functionality are mods. the ability to add any app to multi Window is a mod, but cm, darky, omega etc are ROMs. they're completely independant and does not require a flashing of another rom as a base.
and yes, you are asking for what the best rom is. the fact is, you'll have to just try different roms and see which one suites your need. check the all in one sticky thread for a link to another thread that categorizes roms based on what concept of android they're going for (stock, aosp, aokp, sense, etc etc).
all of these roms are very well documented and they explain what their rom was built for.

Anyone wanna spare me sometime and suggest a ROM and Kernal.?

Hey guys. I am kinda overwhelmed by the number of ROMs and kernals around. I saw modems too but dunno what they are. Heres my info:
Baseband:I9100DDKE4
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 [email protected] #2
Hope thats alls needed. I wanna try our MIUI. But I saw stuff like bluetooth isnt working there. I dont wanna lose any functionality. Is CyanogenMod my best bet? Are there any other good stable mods I should check out? And whats a good Kernal? Which wont affect battery performance.
Thanks for your time if you reply.

1. Modems are the drivers for the mobile connections if you flash a newer one it can improve your network speed but it really depends were you live etc so it different for every person.
2. If you're a beginner with flashing I wouldn't start with any AOSP ROMs like Cyanogen or MIUI.
3. I would recommend Villain ROM for the beginning. It's clean and basic and it comes with Nimphetamine Kernel. Also the guys there are really nice and like to help if you have some problems.
Hello there OP!
If you want a completely different Android experience, go for the CyanogenMod 7.1 release candidate. Bluetooth and other important stuffs are working, read the thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297557
If you want a very stable ROM with bloatware removed, I recommend you Cognition 1.5.1. The developer only uses official firmware releases, not leaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124396
Though before you do all these you do need to have your phone rooted first!

i know mate i been there so i know how it feels wanting to ask these questions...but you have some ideas from myself and other people as well so do your reading and choose the one you want..to be honest if i was you id flash a few before deciding which one to stay with..each thread of the roms that i have used everyone is friendly and everyone is helpful so you should be fine...anything you ever need hit me a message and i see if i can help ya
Thanks you everyone. I was just being lazy. Chose Lite'ning Rom and SiyahKernal2.0. Both should play well right? Will I need to recong. all apps?
Loads of roms available but I'd recommend a rom based of 2.3.5 improvements are better than earlier releases.
Then you can choose from the various kernels and modems to customise.
Once you get the hang of flashing and such you can try out others like cm7, which itself works pretty good now and offers a complete aosp experience.
Touchwiz roms are polished though and work very well. By going to CM7 and such you will lose some stock functionalities such as the good camera app, better stock email, and other bits and bobs.

i think LeoMar75 Revolution Rom v2.7.1 and SpeedMod t41 kernel is the best choice.
battery friendly and really fast!!
no lag in SPB Shell 3D launcher and other apps. also revolution rom is really customised!
(my english is not good as i come from Hong Kong)
GingerMod 0.6. Based on 2.3.5.
Fast. Using Siyah kernel with it. Amazing battery life, amazing benchmark scores.

Sir, you can change wallpaper by long tapping on home sceen, a menu will pop up , select wallpapers or gallery based on where your desired wallpaper is. I didn't get the colour stuff? If you mean that you want to change the ROM's colour then you cannot do that through a wallpaer, you need to download a theme which has the desired colors and apply the theme via Theme Manager
And yes, you can also change the wallpaper via settings menu

in my opinion. now is the best and setabil is "TheMyth ICS - Lite"
this one is great CRe.ActiveX RC1 Barebones Based on CM7.1 Grif_07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414779
Hi,
I tried almost all ROMs in the development pages but I like the best ICS final with SlainModFast v2.5 with the new kernel(blackhawk - ketut). I had no reboots, no freezes no problems. I also run the JuiceDefender on balanced and improves the battery life. And I like the ADW launcher that is included in the ROM.(tried GO, Launcher Pro and some others).
I am a big fan of Grif's CM7 and Ketut's oc kernel... those guys deserves monies!
need kernel with vpn support Android 2.3.5
Hey guys,
flashed today the ace to the Android 2.3.5 via odin.
have now these figures:
Android 2.3.5
Basisband S5830xwks2
Kernel [email protected]#1
gingerbread.xwks2
have read in this forum that per default in samsung's kernel there is no vpn support compiled in so that that i am not able to use vpnc to connect to company's vpn (cisco based).
maybe an option is to update to Android 2.3.6 stock rom, but i think same sh** no vpn support compiled in...
Need a 2.6.35.7 Kernel with additional vpn support nothing more like overclocking etc. Which kernel are you recommended and how do i update only the kernel via odin, too???
many thanks for your replies.

[Q] Which Rom!? Help ! :)

Hey everyone
I currently use CM9 and love the experience, however I want the stability and all the hardware to be working of stock.
My question is there a ROM out there which is built from stock, but has been converted to look exactly the same as AOSP /CM9?
Anything close?
Thanks !
I use WanamLite. Its based on Stock Samsung but pure ICS themed. I recomend it.

try foxhound. from reading that thread it is more or less has the AOSP feel. but next time ask in the right forum mate the Q&A section and also maybe it is best to search and find the one that you might think is appropriate cause there is no point having to wait for others to tell you

[Q] XXALF2 vs IMM76I Omega custom rom ?

Hi guys,
sorry if some might already answered this question, but i was unlucky with my search and im n00b to the Android system ( been use IOS for years)
my question is, what is the different for me with a SGS3? is it just a updated Android release?
currently im running with the XXALF2 version now and with that i can use all the SGS3 function, but what about IMM76I, does it have same function (smart call, smart stay and smart alert?) and what is the different ?
thanks in advance.
IMM76I is AOKP rom more custom rom and XXALF2 is orginal Samsung rom full whit blotware.But you haw XXALF2 custom made roms like Omega , Wanam and other.

Hmm people are loving empty spaces rather than bloatwares sorry softwares . And how misleading it would be introduce those words to new users ?
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
thanks for the quick reply.
so with the AOKP i dont have the same function as the samsung custom rom, if i decide to flash IMM76I ?
when you say bloatware you mean software reporting status to samsung ?

Aosp roms will miss ssome features of Samsung rom . Like you won't have smart stay, pop up play, etc etc. Aosp is meant for pure Google experience like galaxy nexus. Yeah people call additional software's from Samsung as bloatwares

it depends on the kernel, some kernels only support samsung roms and some kernels support both samsung and aosp.
as of now it is safe to use aosp roms with thier own kernels, in a few days of time custom kernels like siyah will support both aosp and samsung roms.

Siya already does.
OP,
I would suggest staying with the samsung based roms for now. You're new to samsung android. Get used to the features and how you can use your phone.
I always used AOSP Roms (Android open source project) to replace my HTC roms but I knew what functionality I was missing.
I too am new to Samsung and finding lots of cool features that are samsung only.
There is no way I will be going to AOSP yet. And this is from someone who developed AOSP for HTC devices, so obviously I am a big fan of AOSP.
Im just saying, theres a lot of benefit from samsung roms so work out what they are before trying aosp then you will see what (if anything) is missing for you.

yeah it does, but not recommended for new users with aosp as of now. would suggest the OP with stock roms for some months atleast..
alright, i agree - the features in the stock rom are awesome and i wont miss that by any chance, the problem with me is that im love to custom everything instead of standard and sometimes it have its backfire effect
the Omega seems to still have all the feature and i would maybe stick to that one for now.
about the AOSP, do you believe there will come a release that support all the currently feature SGS3 have in the future ?
cheers and thanks

I just wanna ask ppl wich roms they are using on their S3 i9300. Because getting through unsegregated list of AOSP/AOKP/STOCK roms is little confusing and i cannot find some kind of list of stock modified roms(i dont like that holo feel).
So XDA users? Will you help me?

Thanks for reply but the list you linked links to aosp/aokp roms wich i simply hate.
And now im on Wanam rom and i realy hate it. it may have sammy base but in end it behaves just like aokp/aosp.
Thanks anyway.
I sense a mod will lock this one quite quickly, there is a good reason why it's against the rules -all the useful threads would disappear in a flood of pointless babble.

I used also Wanam rom and it was really good if ur after stock. U might want to try S4 Revolution also, its as close as it gets to stock with updates from S4 if u pick the right stuff in AROMA.
