[Q] Pimp my sgs4g - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Okay, so I'm on stock 2.2.1 with root. I've never flashed this phone, but I've flashed some friends different androids for them. I was wondering what the best rom is right now, and anything else that I need to do like kernals or tweaks to make my phone as badass as possible. Can anyone help me?

Valhalla is your best bet.
I believe you need to flash GB bootloaders first as well as honks kernel for GB ROM's. There's plenty of wonderful guides in the dev section. The one by FB is probably the best.
Good luck.

The GB starter guide is ths one he is referring to.
Its all up to you which ROM you want. Miui is pretty hot right now. Valhalla is great and so is audiophile

Kernels: drhonk's Froyo and GB kernels
Tweaks: I think all of the GB ROMs are optimized now. The only tweak for GB is SASv7 beta by dsexton702. As for Froyo, there's a lot more tweaks. ICBINB KD1 has all of them. I'm not sure about Audiophile, although I'm sure it does. Black Ice and Bionix Frost are pretty basic though.
Just be sure to read the Bible. Flashing on this phone is very different.

I love bionix frost. It was so fun to tweak because it is super stable

It was the first ROM I flashed here. That gives it a special place in my heart. ;P

[Q] Where is Faux Kernel?

I'm running EagleBlood and i'm looking for the Faux Kernel. I was told these two run good together, so I wanted to try it out.
A link to the Kernel would be nice
And just making sure, do I just flash it like a ROM?
It should be in the development section... which EB are you running? GB or Froyo?
That being said, essentially you will just flash it like a ROM, there are instructions on the OP of the thread, but I implore you to read, then, read some more before you flash because there is some stuff you should know about flashing kernels prior to doing.
Good luck... and then read some more....

I'm on stock with root, bloat frozen.
Weapon and Bionix are missing from the poll.
I used CM7 Nightly for a while, i just flashed Bionix Reloaded a couple days ago with Dragon-G2x v1.1.1 and its super fast battery life is a little better then CM7 but i have not found out a way to port over themes but it offers alot of options to play around with
Didn't we have this thread yesterday?
You forgot to list Weapon. Most stable daily rom out there. Everything works. The rom has been abandoned, but it really does not matter. It is that good.
I'm using the eaglesblood kang version. Probably the best cm7 based ROM. Before this I was using weapon
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Weapon gave me random reboots and it was sort of buggy, so I stuck with EaglesBlood with Faux's 0.4.7 kernel. I feel as if EB is just the most stable rom for my phone at least.
MIUI all the way. From my experience the most stable and the best battery life. At least it is for me.

Same, but I like it for its customizable interface without needing other launchers. It's themes are pretty sweet. When can mix and match themes it makes me happy.

Kernels what to use and what they do?

Well I'm still fairly new to this and looking to learn a bit more . I am pleased with my current Hellfire 2.1 now I'm looking to exntend my battery life to the best I can and I was told this can be done with kernels, Soo I was hoping I could get some suggestions and anything that could help me out understand this a bit more.
I am currently using some Faux Kernel that came with the current Hellfire phoenix release.
Lot of people say to use Trinity with this Rom but no one says why nor in the xda page of this kernel say much about what it does, I like to be well informed before doing any changes.
also how do you install a kernel just download and install from zip from clockworkmod recovery like everything else? or is there certain steps to it?
First off this should be in the Q&A...

I'm currently testing the trinity kernel, The 1.1ghz one for the better battery. Using hellfire phoenix 2.1 so far its the rom I've enjoyed the most.
Any other kernel that anyone could recommend for the best battery performance I could get I'm pleased with the stock performance of the tegra 2 I have no need for overclocks.
Harsh kernel is the best. Flash it and see for yourself
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Morfic's Trinity ELP if your phone can handle it as it varies phone by phone. But I also use Faux123's kernels and they work well enough.

Don't flash it because you're using a GB based ROM...
Harshs kernel is for ICS ROMs...

When choosing a kernel you should first know that they all are, in the most basic sense the same, but have little tweaks that make them all different. I know that the Trinity kernel has the Voodoo sound driver built in that is much better than any other driver. Also when choosing a kernel you need to just try a few and see how stable they are as not all phones are created equal. Some can handle the Trinity kernel and some can't (and same with all others). When you find one that works well with you just stick with it. And, as I like to say, to each his own.

Latest version of Zeus/ GB kernels

So I've been running the unofficial ICS and jellybean ROMs and have run into some problems. To avoid that, I'm going to return to stock .3.6 and just in GB ROMs. Zeus treats the battery kindly, so I'm going to run that. However, I can't find the latest version. I can only find v6.0.. the original.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412957
I would like to run the latest version of v6.
In addition, I'm looking to run a good GB kernel. The defuse kernel sounds like it will accommodate Zeus very nicely. I found the defuse kernel v1.4. Will this kernel be compatible with Zeus?
Thanks

defuse kernel is froyo. you'll be in a boot loop treat if you flash it over zeus.
zeus 6 may have been on the infusion kernel by bedwa,..i can't remember...
the choices you can run with zeus: uclb3 stock, zen's a1600 or b1400, entropy's dd.

Phew. I'm glad I didn't do that. I'll look up those kernels. Thanks
Do you know what the latest version f Zeus and where I can find it? I can only find the initial release version, v6.0.

V6.0 is not the initial release....that is like the 6th release...actually more then that if I remember correctly there were also some "x.x" releases as well...you probably won't find the latest as dman took it down and requested no one make mirrors...because I guess people were being dumb and complaining

Hmmmm. I was looking for v6.x.. just could not find them. That would make more sense after what u said. I know there were previous versions of Zeus, like v5 for instance. So over time the bugs should be pretty much worked out. V6 sounds great!

[Q] Flashing a new kernel onto an existing rom

Can I flash the Infusion Kernel 1.8 onto Emancipation A: 1? For all intensive purposes I'm asking if the kernel can be flashed onto any rom.
I don't want to ask a stupid or noob question but, I haven't been able to find my answer anywhere. When I first started the rooting/flashing a rom process I was gonna go with Zeus Z-TR which I believe has voltage control built into it. After a bit of reading I settled on Emancipation but, I still wanna be able 2 OC/UV.
Also, I'm wondering about the beats audio that is built into the Z-TR rom. Is that because it comes with 1.8 kernel?
So, if someone can answer that question I would really appreciate it a lot.
I'd just flash the new synthesis kernel and as long as you're on gingerbread, you can flash another GB kernel you wish

I'm thinking Infusion is Froyo and Emancipation is GB. If those facts are correct, then NO, you can not
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the answers. After looking into it some more its safe to say I'm stuck without OC/UV since its GB.
If youre on gb, flash the synthesis kernel. Its oc/uv with working mhl on gb.

I'll not familiar with synthesis.....must be new within the last year.
There are several kennels named infusion. The one you (op) mentioned was Froyo.
But developer/member Zen has two GB kernels named Infusion that allow overclock...Zen's Infusion A and Zen's Infusion B. 1600 for A and 1400 for B
