Good Rom to install? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I finally rooted my phone and it was easy. Now I am wondering, which ROM should I install on my TMOUS galaxy s 4g?
I want to try and keep it as stock as possible as I enjoy some of the stock apps, but I want to make the phone a lot faster. Also, increase the battery life cause as it stands, it completely sucks.
Should i go ahead and install cyanogenmod 7 rc1? Or the leaked gingerbread build?

There's been A LOT of threads about this already. I've responded in a good number of them myself too. Search next time.
Anyways...
1) There is no CM7 yet. Krylon360 and drhonk are currently working on it. Be patient and don't post anything regarding an ETA for it. You'll just get flamed like no tomorrow.
2) GB KH2 seems to be the best so far. If you want the fastest ROM, that would probably be ICBINB KG4/KG6/KH1/KH2. I'm using KH2 myself atm, and I'm loving everything about it. The battery life isn't as good as ICBINB KD1 (Froyo), but it's still pretty decent. There's plenty of threads on how to flash that. Search around and you'll be fine.
Also, phreshjoker is currently making YouTube videos on how to flash GB ROMs. His username is SamsungGalaxyS4GMods.

[Q] Fav Rom in your opinion

So i am currently running eagles blood and love it, super smooth, love the black. Havnt found any other glitches yet. Props to creator. What are some other good roms our there
Before the g2x I had a vibrant and ONLY ran Team Whiskey built ROM's because they were always the quickest and most reliable. When I first got my g2x I saw krylon running around the g2x forums and was very excited to see what he will do. My wife is STILL running Bionix on my old vibrant and I am also running Bionix on the g2x. Battery is a lot better, black theme is very nice, phone is super snappy, and I have NO problems with Bionix.
I have tried pretty much all the gb rom's out there and fauxs aosp 1.1.5 gb rom has been the most stable and smooth build I've used... with his custom kernel the thing is buttery smooth and fast with an oc of 1.5ghz if you want it super fast ... plus its a nice stock gb build with no extra stuff which I prefer ...
right now I'm running Bionix.
It's hard to say anything about one being better/worse than another right now, since they're all still in beta form. Let's get some final releases out, or at least an official gingerbread leak to compare against, before judging anything too harshly. And I'm not trying to say they should rush...just that we should expect some glitches
Here is my opinion.
None is better then the other for the fact that they are all built off the same source. If you look at the change logs for all roms right now it is mostly visual things changed with few backend things. (minus cm7 as they built their own)
Anyways give the devs more time to get more actual development done then compare them.
Stock Rom because it's more stable than any of the custom roms at this point. Every thread I've been reading people are having a lot of issues that's why I haven't flashed yet. Waiting for stable build from official source

Not quite true.
stock has almost all the issues and more then most the modded roms.
The reason you see more people complain about the issues on the modded roms is cause ALOT more people are using them over stock as it is junk.
EB1.04 Froyo. Used with included kernel and just a couple of tweaks here and there. Better than stock, LG camera, no GB issues. I get great battery life and speed with it. I'm not looking for a Quadrant record holder...just something that does what I want it to do when asked.
Now for the moderator in me:
These types of threads have the potential to invite flame wars. Keep this thread civil and helpful so it remains open. Thank your for your cooperation.
I've tried a lot of roms but settled with EB 1.0.4 because it feels like a stock rom but without the resets I kept having the with leaked version. The GB keyboard lags some but its nothing.
CM7 is really coming around but I'm going to hold off until they fix the APN settings. I've used CM since the first nightly and started looking elsewhere after #21. I'm looking to just relax with a working rom ATM.
As far as the various roms, they aren't all based on the same source. CM uses a CM base and their own kernel, EB uses the GB leak, and a few others are from AOSP directly from Google. Lots of variation. I agree that we should wait till we get some final builds until we compare but I think this thread is good for people to know because I've been using CM since it came out and when it came time to find something more stable I couldn't find which ones worked or which ones had which bugs.

I'm a Team Whiskey fan coming from the Vibrant so Bionix is my first choice, But Eagle's Blood 1.0.4 FR is also really good and in fact I'm running right now because it's still 2.2 so it has stock camera which is great!
Once Krylon gets the camera working on 2.3 I will go back to Bionix!
Haven't tried any others because of the APN issues!

No issues on Bionix.
I've played with all roms.
Latest was Bionix. It suffered some miserable battery drain with this rom. I gave it a few days play, with plenty of idle and game time. I'll say it is very snappy, however I couldn't accept going from 100-under 50 overnight idle while I slept.
Great rom and I will try again.
I'm gonna try EagleBlood 1.04 here in a few minutes, as it's gotten some decent mentions throughout the forums.
oh and btw, faux's aosp 1.1.5 got rid of any lag on the keyboard which i think no other rom has been able to fix on a gb rom

I wish they had a froyo version, cause I hate the jerky browser in gingerbread....
yea man i gotta say def eb 1.04 froyo is what is best rite now ive tried all of them and dont get me wrong bionix is the **** and faux did get rid of the keyboard lag and thats a big thing with these tgingerbread roms for some reason but yes all great roms but eb froyo 1.04 is sick got this extra keyboard by lg which i love and the stock cam also butter smooth but when running a oc kernel im having problems with my phone being on charger and it dying and not turning back on n having to do a battery pull so im just keeping it stock and love it still very fast!
The best ROM for me has been EB Froyo 1.04 and Morfic kernel is running great.
I have flashed nightlies, bionix, GB leak, and eb 1.02 and 1.04.
EB Froyo seems to be the most stable and just works for me.

I just dont want to have something go wrong and have to ask for help and get flamed for flashing ROM's without knowing what I was doing first. Hehe

I'm using the stock kernel. I tried the first morfic kernel for the build, and it was very unstable for me. Planning on giving the +48mb version a shot in the future, but stock works so well for me (speed+battery life), it'll be hard to justify a switch.

Quetion about switching from a Virant 3g to 4g

So I just got me a Samsung 4g (I know, I know, what took me so long) well anyways I had a Vibrant 3g since day one and I love it. Now my brother gave me his 4g and I am wondering do I really want it. (besides having ffc, 4g and other stock specs) I hesitate because I have rooted and flashed so many roms finding what is best for me and now I have to start all over. So I have some questions for all you 4g owners. I love tethering so does the Vibrant 4g force me to activate through Tmobile or does a custom rom already have it avoiding tmobile to activate it. That leads to my next questions, what in your opinion do you think is the best rom (looks doesnt really matter I prefer launcer pro anyways) I was running Masters rom, Axura and though that was great for the 3g.
first off, let me say that the two phones are VERY different. dont come into this forum thinking they are the same. i am telling you this now because if i read a post saying "i used rom manager" or "i flashed a vibrant rom" "...and now I am bricked...you HAVE to help ME"...then i will ignore it.
other than that...Welcome!!! had to get the above out of the way. anyway. you should be able to create a hotspot for free. i dont really tether, so idk.
as for the roms, check out the Bible thread (search:"Bible") and it will list everything. you will probably want to go to Gingerbread, so check out the ICBINB GB roms because they have every SGS4G tweak in them.
if you want froyo, icbinb froyo with the sweet acid theme is really nice. i am currently on bionix frost and i love it completely. i can walk you through flashing any froyo rom out there. for gb, a ton of people have made detailed walkthroughs and phreshjoker is recording videos.
let me know what you decide to do after you read and i will gladly help in any way.
Thanks for your imput and the heads up, I though flashing was going to be exactly the same to be honest I will definatly go over the flashing threads and the bible of course. I will try bionix frost, but I like to have the most up to date rom so I have a feeling I will end up sticking to gingerbread ICBINB GB roms
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Welcome to the dark side!!! We have cookies!
While it's definitely tempting to jump right into ICBINB GB ROMs, I would suggest to wait. Since the flashing process is different compared to the Vibrant, you should get comfortable with using the SGS4G CWM first. That would mean going for the Froyo ROMs first. As soon as you're comfortable, you should make the jump to GB. Just a suggestion though.
As for my favorite ROMs here, I would say Bionix Frost, ICBINB Froyo and GB, and Audiophile Series (Froyo and GB). Bionix Frost was my first ROM and is still the easiest ROM to flash on this forum. Just check your mounts through CWM and flash. ICBINB is the fastest ROM I've run on Froyo, so that would be on the top of my list. Audiophile is fast and great for...audiophiles, so if music is your thing, this ROM will definitely be for you.
Of course, there are plenty of great ROMs on this forum. I haven't tried all of them (I haven't actually tried Audiophile either), but these seem to be the most popular.
Lastly, remember to read all directions carefully! Good luck!
You can still get your flash on... Just read up..
Odin is still your friend...

miui is really stable for me, and some cm7 nightlies, eagles blood 1.07 is better on battery than 1.08, and wepon g2x reboots on me.
right now im using miui 1.8.19 with go launcher and no problems. its very smooth
Lol way not to answer his question. MIUI is based of CM7 and cannot do AD2P. Try xboarders tweaked OTA ROM. Everything's functional and has tremendous battery life.

Haha well it is the official OTA (2.3.3) taken and tweaked for speed and performance and slimmed down and pre rooted, so everything works like it should and it's faster than ever especially when overclocked with faux123's kernel.

hey In my opinion mr hat is right you want xboarders stock ota tweeked rom you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513
That was what I used before I decided to move on to Eaglesblood and give up my streaming music but EB is definitly the best ROM for me. For you it sounds like XB is the way to go. The only thing is you wont find any updsates or real support for it. Apparently Xboarder had a problem with some people in this fourm or maybee it was the other way around they had a problem with him but either way he is no longer developing for the g2x last I heard I think he is now working on the sensation but the rom does not need anything it is 100% functional in my opinion it is as good as it gets for a stock ROM with no real add ons just root and no crap on it. Let me know how you like it.
but isnt always certain that adding any kernel to that stock rom by xboarder will break video or is that issue related to other phones?

G2X or Not???
I have been debating getting the G2X. I am a bit bored and currently using a Vibrant on Bionix 1.3.1. The Vibrant works great with the new ROM, but I wanted the front and rear facing cameras, a flash for the camera, and the dual core would not hurt
Is it worth getting or should I just wait for the Galaxy S II? The G2X looks like a great device, but is there a lot of development for it (ROMS, etc)?
Problem with waiting for the Galaxy S II is the high price when it first comes out, so it would be a while before prices come down.

So far Eaglesblood 1.08 is by far the best rom it has the best battery use and it is the most stable it never crashed on me once I loved it 1.07 seemed good too but I just liked 1.08 better. weapon crashed on me 4 times in 3 hours so I did not even give it a full day to test. I usually give a ROM a week to see what it can do unless there is a problem from the begining. I am currently testing MIUI so far it looks like an I-phone piece of **** and but I kinda like it. I was able to put launcher pro on but as I am writing this post it is force closing everything it just started I guess it doesnt want a good reveiw LOL. Well Now it wont stop even after a hard boot and a complete powerdown and a permissions fix so thats it for MIUI it is not getting a week HMMM what next? Anyone? For now I am going back to goog old EB or maybee XB stock tweeked until I can figure out which one is next I like xb for 2.3.3 stock and the LG camera is just about done they have ver 3.0 out and they fixed alot of stuff I tried it out yesterday and it is really good props to those guys. Well if anyone thinks they know whice one I should try next let me know.
To the guy who was thinking of getting this phone I would it is a great phone the most user friendly device I have ever had and also the easiest thing to hack ever. If you like to hack phones or if you just like a good fast phone then this is for you. Good luck.

Stock leak UCKL2 is very stable and fast.
VictoryROM is only minimally modded. Also fast and stable.
Ports have their fancy bells and whistles but have their flaws.
Infuse based roms: Bionix, Numas, Caty and Zeus seems popular...
Some of the "older" ROMs are gtg's infused and mikey's S7.
if you want a gb w/o frills..go with stock leak uckl2
Cm7 is awesome as is Zeus, caty, bionix, and numas. All of those will make ur phone all warm and fuzzy feeling

Best way to find one that suits you is to go out and test drive a few. Mix and match kernels/ modems, etc. and find what works best. Just give each one a couple/ few days to get a good feel.
I'm testing out MIUI right now, as a change of pace, and like the setup of the folders and such.

Zeus may be heavily altered but I assure you everything is functional....to the tenth power...with 3 times the speed and smoothness of any other....alot of hard work in this masterpiece.....that's what I run and I have to keep a chain on my infuse or it will get away from me!

[Q] ROM choice?

I was wondering what was a better ROM to use for the Infuse, ZEUS by dman, or the CM7 port?
I was using CM7 and tried Zeus 3, but ended up switching back. I didn't like it. When I saw the 5 version posted, I decided to give Zeus another try. Other than a brief GB stock try, I haven't strayed from what Dman has wrought with Zeus 5.2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
IMO Zeus is the way to go, everything works but HDMI and Dman's 5.2 build is rock solid and it's hard to go wrong with an Infuse native rom!

I love it, am having some wi fi issues i am trying to figure out. Going to try other's, even the dman recommends, just to try, i am sure i will end up running with zeus.
ps dman sent you a donation and a pm(realize now u probably don't read them), but thanks for showing me how much I love my infuse!
I CAN FROM BIONIX TO ZEUS AND it's awsome, no freeze like bionix when you unlock the screen, altough when you get a call, it tends to not responsive on the first swipe, the second try will do it. i think it's lag
i just hope it uses less memory, it's about 200~250 when you start up the phone, so far so good
speaker on both roms sucks. i drive all day and i need speaker to be really loud, both are not load enough for me. anyone have any apps or hacks that turn your speaker up?
try the zeus 5.2 it's awsome
i flashed it over bionix without going stock.

Volume+ in the market works well for me on phone and tablet.
ZEUS is the only way to go, IMO.
I tried Zeus briefly, and if I had spent the time to fix the wifi I can see why so many people like it, but I love the look of CM7, and for my use it's been great, so I went back. If you want a stock rom, would vote Zeus, (might eventually go back to Zeus if bluetooth never gets sorted out on CM7) but CM7 is a solid port, looks good and flashes easy.

On my flash, it had issues, and from what I found on the 4000 page Zeus thread, there had been others having the same issue. I gave up trying to find the mentioned fix, sure it was there, just couldn't find it. I had flashed the ICS theme and hadn't liked the changes so I went back to CM7.
Next time I try Zeus, I'll go back to stock first as recommended on your install instructions, I'm sure I'll have better luck. Currently I'm waiting to see if the new old stock Gingerbread pushes Zeus to 5.3
rom review by a newbie user
I try this roms and Im more focused on battery juice and customability options...
Im heavy user not in things like widgets or music or videos, but I do make many calls, use mail and chat by whatsapp.
so I tell you my best (and tried) roms
caty 3.0 the fast in everything (reboot, display etc), perfect battery for smartphone, i have to use it with uckk4 b/c with newers modems no good work for my slow data.
zeus: its almost like caty for me, totally recomend specially for themes.
darkyrom, cool rom, love the touchwiz! customable, has the darky ota, an app that you can use to change thing, its like rom manager but with many options for download.
sauron rom, my current rom, i like it because of the fully customable options in power menu, settings, it is fast like darky, almost the same but with more customable options.
CM7, stable, nice boot animation, have the plus of everything the cyanogen team has to offer in a simple gingerbread launcher.
miui, I like touchwiz! I like it, the music, and themes! its so different and beatifull, but the battery issue its something important to me, the rom its not bad, remember that battery issues exist in all smartphones, but if you are not a heavy user, go for it!
I hope it helps you.
Remember that this review its just a guide, you have to try it by your own and see what it fits, you have to explore the personalizations options.

When you downloaded the darky rom? Did you have version 10.4 and in which case would you upload? I only have version 10.3 didn't realize that there was an update so I never downloaded it. A couple of different users were asking for it, so I looked and realized I didn't have the latest.
Also, because this is a port, the darky ota app does not work with this phone, and I'm PRETTY sure that it's not included... wouldn't work if it was. There's no hellraiser on the go.. lol.
If you look in the last couple pages of boost's MIUI thread, as of 2-15-12 anyway.. then you will see some tips to improve the battery life of MIUI. That should help you..
Before you make your rom final...I myself flashed damm near all the ROMs...gave the wife a headache... lol...
But figured I can honestly say I tried them....my final after many flashes...and lots of the wife rolling her eyes....lol
NUMAS X v1.1 Black & Chrome'd out!
Change your launcher to zeam - its minimal and uses negligible memory and cpu.
what memory is left when you first boot up on zeus ?im only getting 200 free memory

I downloaded darky 10.2 (newest) and I like the touchwiz and the stable no freeze... Yes, of course not all things in darky ota, it works the option of changing the lockscreen menu, boot animation. But I prefer download here from xda
