Im reading over some of the stuff you provided through the link . I thank you . Maybe i didnt read far enough into the allllllll those threads but all i want is a basic rom with better battery performance, stability .
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

they call it deadly rom instead of darky rom because there are millions of post on XDA about ' help darky rom broke my phone' and so on...
his thread is a minefield of posts and is very hard to get help if something goes wrong.
anyway if all you want is a basic ROM with good features. then i too suggest romkitchen.org << here you can tailor the rom to your needs and be happy with that. also battery life is top notch with doc's roms.

Thanks peeps
Much apprecaited

If it's the one included in the kitchen, it is broken with the latest version of froyo. Not sure why. Anyway just download the ginerbread keyboard off the market for free and then select that one and it should work fine.

im getting force close for everything now not just the keyboard .
romkitchen sucks so far . ive never had troubles with darkys rom 9.5 dark core 1.4 . never had a force close or anything like this is horrible . ive tried 3 or 4 different mixtures with romkitchen all end with force close . i am factory resetting prior to installing romkitchen
only reason i wanted to switch was because i had no reception in the country .
sigh

Well if you're not going to answer anyone's questions that are trying to help you out, then go back to Darky's rom, and try to get some help in his thread.

opps forgot it

Did you use a stock theme with ZSJPK?
And I see you used a fugumod kernal - There is a note under the fugumod kernal that a non wipe rom is essential. You included it in a wipe rom.
I do recommend cooking up a new Wipe rom, with Hardcore's speedmod kernal for stability, and if you're using ZSJPK, only include a stock theme.

[Q] Best ROM for my GF :)

Hi All,
Need some advice about the Galaxy S. I am a Nexus S user and would love to get my Girlfriends Galaxy S running better if not as well as my Nexus S. I have tried to get the galaxy S running well but now I think I have done all I can to optimise the stock ROM it has onboard!
I know that for the SGS you must use Odin to flash new ROMs – any warnings to me being a NS user with our easy CWM flashing? I will of course be doing a Nandroid backup of her current ROM in case things go wrong Currently the SGS is rooted and running a branded O2 2.2 Froyo Rom. I have Lag Fixed it using OCLF (Not great I know, but its not my phone I can't always fiddle with it to update it!) and tried to remove bloat using Titanium Backup.
The advice I would love is – which ROM do I put on her phone, when she isn’t the most tech savvy person. I figure there are 3 main options (but feel free to correct me!) for a stable and quick ROM that I won’t have to keep touching and updating or fixing:
Stock 2.3.4 (JVP?)
Nice because it’s stock and from what I’ve read it seems to run fast and is the latest version of phone android like on my Nexus
Darkys ROM
Seems to be a nice option – fast stable and tweaked (a fixed version of stock really no?), but perhaps it has too many options for my non tech savvy GF to be using?
Cyanogen Mod
Only reason I resist this is because it is probably too much of a shift away from the Samsung experience my partner is used to - I would prefer it (I have a nexus so naturally!) but I doubt my girlfriend would appreciate the change. Also it seem CM isn't quite ready for the SGS yet...
Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated! I have searched a lot about the SGS, but not having the phone myself, I figure it might be best to ask users of their opinions and steal your advice!

As this one is for your girlfriend and you are planing already with a "stock" ROM you should for sure go for the latest 2.3.4 Android Version in JVP.
I personally would never go for a "stock" but this is just my personal opinion since I am daily with the phone and can repair things by my own.
Related to ODIN there is not much to say if you read all the guides completely.
I flashed my phone many, many times even using seperat kernels and removing thing before, adding and changing scripts without brick the phone.
Try to safe the EFS dircetory is the only thing I would recommend if it is not mentioned in the guides before doing a flash.
Hope it helps for your decision.

i suggest u use darkky's rom in that case cause the battery alone lasts longer than stock that means more time spent talking to u..

I suggest you leave her phone alone
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I would use one of ramads stock deodexed roms, and then flash a custom kernel, that way she gets no lag, stock, you are safe and your love life will thrive! Now that is slick womanizing!
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c

after couple testing different ROM .... i am very pleased with Juwe's ROM ..... stable , all works fine , fantastic look ....

Darky's ROM is not a 'fixed' version of stock.
Just go with the latest stock firmware for the best performance, ie flash XXJVQ with Odin after backing up all data

Whack on JVQ deodexed and voodoo mod. Convert to Ext4 and then life = complete. Cyanogenmod is still best though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Thanks for your suggestions!
Thanks to you all for your help! I think I am going to go for a stock 2.3 based rom either JVP or JVQ - probably JVQ as google talk video works with it, and now skype video works too - both of which she wants.
@solar666
Thanks I'll definitely be following the guides to the letter - and yeah an EFS backup is also on my to-do list!
@doomsdaycs
Battery Life is very much important, but having seen some youtube videos of Darky's rom, I think the interface & option changes & colours might be too much of a shift - I'd prefer it though!
@acejacksooted & @carvax
Id love to leave it alone, but she complains that it isn't responsive like my nexus and lags sometimes - so I don't have much choice but to deal with it!
@slaphead20
Is there much of an advantage to a deodexed samsung rom? Also, I hope you don't use your phone to chat up all women that way
@bisko69
Is Juwe's rom that different from samsung's roms?
@Mothatt
Yeah I think that's the way I will go - safe!
@jaju123
Again, seems like the best option at the moment. Thanks!
Any other thoughts are more than welcome! Thanks again .

All custom-ROMs except CM7 and MIUI are based on Samsung-stock-ROMs.
ROM-cookers of Samsung-based ROMs add some features and change the colors of the UI. So you should take the custom-ROM which has the nicest colors.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

i recommend MIuI GALNET its awesome

Darkys rom!
I've used many roms, but I always flash Darky v10.1 back.
Ist just so goood, battery life is amazing and still the phone is so simple.

Seeing that your GF rom is still in Froyo, isnt it better to upgrade it to at least stock Gingerbread?
Perhaps you can flash a stock deodexed rom, flash a kernel for root and CWM (i recommend SpeedMod), then flash a theme from the theme forums that you think she will like.
maybe you can even make a theme for her based on what she likes
conclusion: Stock rom with custom theme, if she like to stay on stock samsung experience and a nicer UI

new to captivate, need help upgrading to 2.3

i just got this captivate and it's a new build 1108(07.12.2011)i guess. i have been reading for hours and hours on several forums, about how to root and update my phone from 2.2 to 2.3 and use the xda lagfix. my moto droid 1 is rooted and running ss/cm's latest 2.3.4 and it smokes the pants off of this samsung. i am finding several step by steps for 2.1 to 2.2 and so on, but nothing for 2.2 to 2.3 that actually works for me. wondering if my phone is too new. i dont nesc need to root, but really want 2.3 and or xda lagfix. or do i need to root??? can someone please help me? i would give you my moto droid 1 hacked and smokin fast for a succesful updating of this slow as can be captivate. i'll even pay for shipping etc. LOL!!!

Find the odin one click thread, do that, you'll be back to 2.1, then find a thread explaining how to root, then follow the directions on how to flash gb. Pretty easy if you look around a bit and read up. If my phone wasn't about to die I would find the right links for you, but it shouldn't be too hard, there are plenty of guides on here

I have been off the captivate for a while now, so there are much easier ways to get to gingerbread than when I was still on it. However, if you backup your apps with titanium backup, you should be able to do the following: once you install your new rom, run the "restore missing apps" function, and it should keep your progress in games without messing up your rom. The problems people run into us when they run the "restore all apps" process, which restores system apps and screws things up. If you only restore missing apps, you'll be fine
The edit is because I'm drunk right now. If you backup your apps on your current rooted setup with titanium backup, you should be able to just restore missing apps with titanium backup once you flash the new rom without any troubles and have your saved game data.

Read, read, read. And read some more.
You will need to upgrade your bootloaders, and upgrade your ROM/Radio/Kernel.
This all carries with it a fair bit of risk. I would suggest you understand how to recover from a "soft brick" before attempting to re-flash or upgrade anything.
Also: This is in the wrong section, and if I'm honest, this isn't much of a first post if you're new to XDA.

THANX everyone. esp. *toy028*
read till my eyes bled... and
1-superoneclick to root
2-odin 1.7 to flash latest speedmod kernel
3-after headaches got cm7 rom to flash and now i'm stuck with it as it puts it's own kernel(clockworkmod4+) on the phone and it will not let me flash anymore update.zips
dont understand the edify request it gives. cant find an edify option in the rom. afraid to reroot,reflash speedmod and try again because it(the new kernel) doesnt seem to be compatible or want to let me upgrade LOL. so i am trying to get cm7 to please me.
wish there was a simplystunning rom. tried andromeda3 and it wouldnt flash for me. cm7 is very lacking. got gapps but it's still VERY lacking. quadrant got slower on video but faster on cpu??? wierd. neocore got slower too. only went from 55.7 to 52.3 but still. only one keyboard on cm7. no super customization like i"m used to with ss. i really miss forcing my browser to pc mode for streaming southpark etc. debug option doesnt have a desktop selection bummed but gonna try and deal with it.
thanx again

Andromeda3 wouldn't flash because of the version of cwm you are on. Andromeda3 is 2.2 and requires an older version of cwm

When you figure it all out, use Apex rom. It's up to date and works great for someone who is green.

I'll second the call for Apex. I've tried several of the available Gingerbread ROMs, but always ended up going back to Apex. Installed the recent 9.2 update and won't be looking back.

Guys/Gals! be careful when recommending JF6 Odin1 Click, he stated his release number on his phone being 1108, and if I'm not mistaken, he will brick his device based on that build number. OP do a search for Odin 1 click and make sure you can use the JF6 version

thanx for the warning. i was actually aware of such a conundrum being possible and thought i would try it anyways. there seems to be a lot of mis-information or better yet only partial instruction from those who assume eveyone knows all of the things to do before the instructions they DO give. at any rate, one click worked for root. everything is groovy BUT i still cant use any other rom but MIUI's latest. which is sooooo lacking it makes me sick and i go back to cm7 everytime. oh well. at least i can get 2370 on quadrant with cm7 and 57.7 on neocore instead of 1300 and 23.5 respectively. my moto droid one does 1700 and 23.7 so i figured the captivate would smoke it. now it finally does. it matters to me when using google earth and maps etc. those apps suck up the cpu/gpu ram and anything else they can. so i guess i'm happy with cm7.

[Q] Noob recovery rom question

Forgive me for a stupid question but I'm VERY new to this:
Because Touchwiz is so awful, and the original galaxy tab is being denied ICS by Samsung, I've been thinking about using a custom rom.
There's already a nice looking ICS port coming along.
However, being VERY new to the galaxy tab - I bought this one used, as a pure wifi device, though it HAS a sim slot, I want to know -- how can I restore the original OS if I have problems with a custom firmware?
I noted Kies will refuse to deal with a samsung tablet if it's not an official rom... or am I mistaken?
I'm on a NTT Dococmo SC-01C (original Galaxy Tab) with official 2.3 docomo firmware. this was an upgrade from the preinstalled 2.2
Thank you SO much for help in advance.

You can flash stock firmware using either heimdall or Odin
So yes you can always go back.

Would you recommend the ICS Alpha 3, or is there a better Honeycomb rom? I can't be sure which is which because it seems like every distro has its OWN version number which doesn't match the android release number... sigh

I don't have personal experience with the hc port from but its being released as an release candidate which means that it should work pretty OK but there are probably still quite a few bugs to squash. The ics alpha 3 from is what I've been testing recently. It is NOT feature complete and those features that ARE there are extremely buggy if you are curious to know what isn't working I suggest exploring the ics from dev thread. Most of the working/broken info is in the first post. More detailed info can be found by paging through. Its nowhere near ready for prime time as an every day rom. I'm just testing it because I'm a bleading edge kind of guy and wanted to check out responsiveness and the slick new UI. I will be switching my from back to a gb room sharpish. Please note that i,m not giving the project a bad review, contrarily its showing amazing progress and I'm sure within a few months that there will be a release candidate of either fully working ics aosp or cyanogen mod 9 which is an ics project for the tab that many of the pics aosp project members are contributing to right now.
For a self described noob I would suggest looking for the most stable well tested and fastest rooms you can find. My best recommendations would be overcome kratos (the latest version for the Sgt) or cyanogen mod 7. Both of which are based on gingerbread and both of which have been tested for long periods of time with awesome user feedback and work great without the bloat of all the Samsung apps and such

im guessing you dont want to just theme your phone any longer.... i was the same with you up till abt a month ago and was also pretty confused but figured it out with help from the good good people in here =)
im just gonna put it in step by step
any detailed explanation and links to stuff can be found in Nooby's How To Thread so get your tools there
1) root your phone, most common ways are super one click or blackjack (blackjack only for froyo phones)
2) if not installed ald (with the root) install CWM and superuser
3) once rooted (and have CWM & Su), download rom of choice and place rom's zip file in sd card root and install rom of choice through CWM (check if the rom youre installing requires you to wipe all cache ie davik etc or factory reset, and follow accordingly)
4) once you do that done go through the OB Themes & Apps Forum and look for a compatible theme to the rom youve earlier installed
5) dl the theme of choice, place it in your sdcard root and flash via CWM
6) once flashed make another backup (what i do is take out the first backup file and store it on my computer *do not rename it, take the whole 'TitaniumBackup' folder* although not neccesary i do it anyway cos it makes it easier for me to identify which file i wanna restore from)
7) enjoy your phone
hope this helps.........

Thanks for the guide ! i was reading the "Nooby's How To Thread" but still had some doubts.
I want to install "Zeus v4.02b".
So, if i understood well:
1) root my phone depending on the version i have, since i have stock rom, Blackjack should work.
2)install CWM (as said in the "Nooby's How To Thread"), and just follow the guide to flash a new rom.
3)Do another backup
4) DONE !
misc:
Zeus rom already have a custom kernel included right ? so i don't need to worry about that?

Yup as stated in the Zeus thread, only install the alternative kernel if you have problems with the in built one, and one last minor thing, I don't think there are themes for the v4 variant yet, and have you read up on the Zeus thread?

Do you recommend other rom ? I was going for nova, but it seems old and outdated (2.2). So i read this, and opted for zeus.

I won't recommend one over the other man, each rom has its own pros and cons, and I don't think its nice to do that
Just try flashing one first,then when you get the actual feel of doing it, you'll be more confident about trying different roms and figuring out which suits you best
To a point its kinda addictive to me now lol... cos with every successful flash, feels like I'm getting a new phone....
Oh and the notification bug is not all bad, I still get my notifications good enough

K the way I do it is this, install a home launcher that supports icon changes and change the icon through there, I'm using go sms also and my icon is a bird I made myself hee try to look for my screenshots in the screenshots thread hee
I didn't do much actually man, just parroting what the ppl here have taught me, just don't forget to do the same for newer noobs that turn up over time hee...
One thing I appreciate after reading other forums on XDA boards is the lack of flamers in our OB forums
I'm using adw you can change it without using 3rd party launchers but I believe it includes modifying framework stuff and that is something which is way above my head..... for now.....

I alreaduly tried that. But I wanted to keep the stock launcher. The only thing I hated is that the messaging threads are white. It's somewhat not pleasant in the eye. Unlike Samsung's default messaging, the background is black.

There are different "wipes" it means formatting a partition, to be short.
You need to make a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced, do a dalvik wipe, and a battery stats is always good, if you install a new ROM. You can read all this in my NOOB guide, if you want to

BTW, if you're going for the Zeus ROM, flash v3.1/2n. It's much more stable than v4. (Unless you REALLY need the GPS fix). Huexxx is working on the issues so just wait
Also, Marvel 2.1 is another good ROM. I say flash all try all

Imho v3n is perfect for me.... gps lock within 20sec max, battery averaging 20 hours moderate use with 3g always on and overall smoothness and dependibility and yeah Gabwerks theme hee now it feels like I cannot look at my phone w/o his ics port and I cannot live w/o Huexx v3 hee

nice to hear that ! the zeus V3 really seem like a great rom ! will definitively be the first i will try.
The thing i want the most is stability and battery life.

3N should be the best choice for you, since it is the european version. There isnt really a big difference, between v20n or v20b. The main difference is the language support and 3N surely also supports Porugues, but idk about 3b, but it think it also does. You can also try both versions here and stick with the best one for you. As long as Huexxx didnt fix the SoDs, I wouldnt flash a higher version, unless you really know, what you are doing and what you can/should do in case something doesnt work/crashes/gets stuck, and so on... But I guess it wont take too long, till he has figured out, what is going wrong/where the bug is. And meanwhile, you can try all the different ROMs we already have And maybe when you tested all of them for a couple of days, we might already have LEZO/MIUI/a new Zeus/new Marvel/new Noa/maybe an ICS port/stable CM/... so as you can see, you will have/be able to test a lot
