What is the best rom out their that has less bloatware nd is smooth nd everything works good and doesnt mess up I just neeed that rom can anyone help me I read and read nd I cant find it help please
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If you want an almost stock ROM but with buttery smoothness tweaks, then I suggest ICBINB.
If you want extra features not included with stock roms, and smoothness tweaks and so on, then valhalla is for you.
If you dig music, I guess audiophile roms is what you should go for.

Is icbing from team acid good and is that valhanna our that rom is froyo?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I can't speak to gingerbread. But on Froyo if you want stock then go with ICBINB. For more customization I would susgest Audiophile Redux.
What tweaks do icbing have?

Considering that dsexton created most of the tweaks for this phone and he created icbinb ROM I would say all of them.

Your phone might run on more fps than your eyes can perceive. Other than that, i think it's an ok ROM.

No real issues with ICBINB, other than GB issues (like weak wifi signal).

I just did this yesterday and now I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2. It's a pretty cool ROM. I guess there's always a risk, but if you follow the steps it's pretty hard to mess anything up.
Is the gb good though?

The only thing that I miss from Froyo is the wifi signal. But besides that, GB is better.
If you don't feel confident enough to upgrade to GB then don't do it. Unless you really want to learn, it's easy to do it, hard to mess up, but only if you are aware of the risks involved and really need a gingerbread feature that froyo is lacking.
Other than that, froyo is a good ROM.
Another thing is that an official GB update might be coming soon, or that's what we're all hoping for. All these leaks over the last few months only mean that samsung team is working hard getting GB ready for this device.
Its hard for me idk what guide to even follow and I dnt even know half the crap.they are sayn u know .. I want gb cause it will make my phone smoother .. and fasteer and this frroyo laggs alot and it pissses me offf!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i think it's fairly simple.
1. backup your SD card, you will lose your data otherwise if you follow these steps.
2. Go to download mode
3. Get KG4 ROM from the development forums.
4. Connect the phone to the computer, use ODIN provided by the rom to flash it. (KG4 forum post should have instructions on how to do that).
5. After that, flash drhonk kg4 kernel, which gives you CWM (again, use odin, there should be instructions on the forum post).
6. Boot into CWM, go to advanced, partition your sd card, 1024 and swap 0. That gives your sd card 2 partitions, one for regular data, and another for ext4 backups, so you won't get problems with ext4 conversions. Also, get to main menu of CWM, go to voodoo, and disable it. For now. Reboot.
7. Now, at this point, you have GB and it should all be working fine. Now you just need to download the latest ROM you want to flash. I recommend either ICBINB or Valhalla 1.3.2. Put the ROM on your SD card.
8. Boot into CWM, go to install zip from sdcard, choose the zip file and let it install.
9. After that, make sure voodoo is still disabled, and reboot. Let the phone idle for a few minutes, while the new ROM gets settled.
10. After that, reboot into CWM again, enable voodoo. Reboot. You'll hear a robot (Linda) talking you through the ext4 voodoo lagfix conversion. All should go fine. If you get bootloops after that, just go into CWM again and disable it.
11. Why are you still reading these steps, that was all
You shouldn't have any problems with ext4 voodoo. If for some odd reason you do, then just disable it and ask someone in the forums. It's not the end of the world if you can't enable voodoo, it'll still be a damn good phone.
Good luck.
ICBINB KJ1 is the fastest smoothest ROM I've used, and the wifi issue everyone complains about really isn't an issue. Sure it shows weak signal, but there really isn't a difference in connection speed.
And any remaining bloatware is easy to get rid of with titanium backup.

U can always just Wipe/Factory...wipe Cach and delvik and flash the rom get the bootloop and flash again. It should work.
but other will say be safe return to stock and go from there. either way you CAN get MiUi on your phone

No i was only saying that if you were trying NOT to go back to stock.....Miui will flash a kernel over the stock one. and sometimes Bootloops(does for me 90% of the time) then u just pull the batt and hold the three finger recovery pose....and reflash.
then you should be good.

First off, sent from your iPhone? Really? ...
Second, it depends on what you are looking for. Using a Froyo ROM is always a safe bet. Supposedly GB has better battery life though. But also if you are looking for a stock look, maybe ICBINB or AOSP is more your speed. The GB ROMs are pretty good these days, and with the source released they will only get better. Before I ran GB, I ran Bionix Frost with Bali UV, and it was great.
But, if you just want to get rid of lag, maybe just try something that will debloat you and flash the Bali kernel and stay Froyo.

Thanks for the Android OS history lesson lol. Since I don't own the the phone I dont have the convience of trying different custom ROMs. I just want to know which ROMs were top in smoothness and speed.
Ps. Now 2 more of my friends the own SGS4G want me to flash their phones......I think I'm gonna start charging for my time lol

There is nothing better in my opinion that Valhalla Final.
You do not need to disable voodoo (follow his install instructions in the OP).
I also suggest the newest market - it is MUCH FASTER.
Thanks I figured u didnt have to cause it has voodoo enabled by default. But just wanted to make sure, don't want to brick my friends phone lol
Yeah I saw the review video. It's looks awesome. I remember Whitehawkx from the Nexus S threads. He did good work. Definitely gonna suggest his ROM to my friends.

you may also want to try flashing dsexton's adrenaline shot for the GS4G, it makes a difference. I'm running it on valhalla with good results. Or you can try a rom that is pre-tweeked, like Octane v3.0, or ICBINB KJ6 version.
And check what kind of SD cards are in your friend's phone. if they have an older/slower (like a class 2) SD card, it will slow some things down.

Mmm, many questions...
Do you try full wipe/factory reset before installing new room?
Are you using a kustom kernel? If yes, try to reflash it. Customs kernels also includes CWM Recovery.
Sorry for my english!

I did a full reset wipe and no I just installed the rom. Which at the moment I'm forgetting what its called
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well. This is the first custom room you installed? If not, probably is a room bug, or the compatibility with your phone is not 100% funtionally.
If yes, perhaps the root is not correct. Why you dont try to re-root your phone?
Or try with another room and tested.
If still not working, dont worry, we will solve it!
Try BH's back to stock one click.
I'm curious what ROM you are using? Go to settings - about phone and it will tell you the name.
It was the ICBINB rom I believe.

so if nothing else works you should try it.

I'm opening this so someone can probably be so kind as to write the CLEANEST was/steps to flash cm9 I'm sure many of want to try it, I would have wrote them myself but I don't know them, and I have to get ready for orientation with my new job

Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

So if I'm already on ZTR (GB Bootloaders I'm guessing) I jus follow the basic steps, correct? Just trying to get a clean flash and thank you

for some reason with all my phones ive never been aware of my bootloaders... i think its because i just flash cm and never look back,
so if i flashed cm7 right after rooting (now on miui) would i be on GB as well? is there a quick way to check.

Therez no way to check bro. Same spot as you. When i home from school, ill try flashing. But just try flashing with froyo bootloaders, it may work. If it doesnt, then odin back to stock.
Successfully got everything up and running. Great ROM for a first release.
Anyone else have a jacked up recovery? Crazy colors and only half the screen visible? Any way to fix that? It's still functional, just hard to tell what you're doing.
Camera and bt dont eork . Im going to wait for fixes.. Im super happy.

i think it has to so with the sdcard not mounting, if i use root explorer i can access all of my files, but the os natively won't see it

I think you're right, the first time I flashed i had the rainbow and i was on froyo bootloaders, after restore to GB it came up fine.
Prior to flashing CM9 I had just Heimdalled back to AT&T UCBL3, so I'm not sure why I wouldn't have GB bootloaders...

How long did it take you all to get off of the initial Samsung logo at start up to the cm9 boot animation after flashing? It has been roughly 10 minutes so far and it hasn't moved. My recovery is all screwed up with funny colors, but it's nice to know that others have encountered the weird recovery as well... was on Devestion before following the steps for flashing cm9.
