Best rom for galaxy s 4g?

What rom in yalls opinions is the best?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

I just went back to the ICBINB rom with my own custom UOT theme after trying the new gingerbread leak. GB was ok, but ICBINB has ALL the tweeks, and the UV bali kernal for awesome battery life and performance.
When more GB roms come out with tweeks, I'll flash back, but right now, Froyo is doing great for me with icbinb.

As with anything, it's all about preference...
I personally like ICBINB, as I don't use my phone as a music player much... If music via your phone is more you I'd suggest one the audiophile roms, for the sound tweaks that were incorporated in the rom.
Both off these TeamAcid roms have all the latest tweaks available and they're easy to flash, so you can test drive them all then pick the one that best suits you.
Hope this helps!

ICBINB is the easiest ROM to flash here and also one of the best, because it already has all the tweaks built in there already.
Then again, if you want to play around with tweaks and stuff more, you can always flash the other ROMs, which are still wonderful.

Really any of them. Theyre all fantastic. Although i would have to say it would be ICBINB, Audiophile, Black Ice, Frost

I would say if you're new to flashing, stay away from Black Ice for a bit, lol. It is still the most difficult ROM to flash out of all anyways. I would say Bionix Frost is really the easiest though. It was the first one I flashed.

I dont know why everyone is getting these problems with Black Ice, i never had one and i loved frost but the white is a battery burner

Yup, I gotta agree with you on that. Black Ice gave me problems the first night, but after careful reading the next day, I flashed it perfectly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the dull look of it, so I went back to Bionix Frost right afterwards, LOL! Bionix Frost would be my second favorite ROM after ICBINB though.

I gotta say ICBINB has done the best for me. It is noob friendly(I'm a noob) and has all the latest tweaks and mods that you need. Also providing insane battery life and smoothness with little to no bugs. ICBINB, thanks to Team Acid, is the best choice at the moment in my opinion! My two cents yo!

My top roms I love;
Black Ice
Trigger 0.4 or 0.5
ICBINB
Audiophile
Of course Whitehawk's deodex kd1

if she is going to be far, then stock rom is best. If she ever has a problem with her phone, she can take it to the cell phone vendor to troubleshoot. if it has a custom ROM, they might not help her.
I'd say stick to stock KD1 rom with root and get titanium backup app, so she can uninstall bloatware and back up her apps.

thanks for your helpful reply.
I agree with you,its best to have stock rom for troubleshooting.
I will install stock rom .
In my experimentation,i found that undervolted bali kernel is giving me nice battery back up.
can i have stock kd1 with this kernel bali 3.3 undervolted.?

When I got this phone a few weeks ago I immediately flashed Black Ice, then went with AudioPhile, for FroYo roms those are the best IMO. Once the 2.3.4 leak came out I flashed that ran it until today with no issues. Flashed the Deodexed kg6 from Whitehawk today and it's been fine as well. Only reason I changed from the leak to this was I felt the urge to flash something new.

yes, if you have a rooted stock rom, you can install CWM recovery, and flash the bali kernel.

Which ROM?

Lots of people seem to be recommending MIUI... but what else is good that's out there, besides CM?

Miui is great but..
Miui (whitehawx) is pretty good. But there is so much things to mess around with. I currently have G2xTreme GB 2.3.3 v.5. It is simple with all the bloater gone.

Can post the link to that rom? Thanks.

Try this rom for amazing stability, while retaining the graphical aspect of 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). It's a mix of CM7 and AOSP made by Faux123. If you're looking for straight up stock check out this for a slimmed down, and speedier version of the OTA.

[Q] Where can i find Froyo 2.2.1?

Hey guys where can i get the original froyo update from tmobile 2.2.1? really cant get use to some of the bugs with gingerbread , two people cant call me at the same time wifi signals are just horrible, the text message lay out is not the same, when you click on a text it does nothing, so where can i find this? Thanks !

Did you try searching on your own first?
If you want the original out-of-box stock, that would be KB5. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978836
If you want the updated KD1, you could update it through Samsung Kies Mini.
There's also custom Froyo 2.2.1 ROMs out as well.

Honestly, all of them are pretty good. It's just a matter of what you want to do with it.
I like ICBINB KD1 the most though. It has all the Froyo tweaks, so it makes everything simple. Get the Sweet ACID Theme by Bl4ckpheniX to make it look more awesome. It's practically the best theme, imo.

Hellfire sandwich v 1.4 rom

I'm running CM7 and want to try Hellfire's ICS. How is it? Can someone provide a link.

Its badass! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501667

Good enough for a DD. But it does have some of it's minor quirks and bugs. Nothing too crazy though. Try it.

It is a great rom. By far the best alpha version of ICS for the g2x IMO. It is stable enough for a daily driver. I have been using it as such since versio 1.0. No maijor issues here
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

ive also been using HFS as a daily driver since 1.0 and loving it!!! i tried EB and AOKP but both of those only stayed on my phone for about an hour and a half, long enough to play around and figure out i wanna keep HFS on my phone. video recording and playback dont work yet on ICS roms without the proper drivers, but theres videocam illusion in the play store, its free and works. and theres mxplayer in the play store too for video playback, just gotta set it to use SW decoding instaed of HW. so go for it!! youll like it.

boot animation

Did u flash a different kernel? If so was it morfics? By using all 'stock' rom and such you shouldnt have this issue. If so grab yourself a copy of the nullifier, link in my sig, nullify and reflash.. or just flash faux's kernel and replace the boot animation... and should be good...

this looks really great

Been using this ROM since the first day 1.4 was released and i have not had any major issues, a reboot here and there. nothing i was not doing with any other ROM. But ICS is sick, i don't think i can go back.

I tried it for a couple days, it can be laggy if you are trying to do a bunch of stuff at once. I guess that could be different depending on if you have your CPU at the stock frequency or not. Overall it is pretty nice though, if you don't mind some lag here and there its great. After all ICS wasn't released too long ago

Not too stable yet, but no ICS ROM is. Def a great ROM to see what ICS is all about. I tried EB and HFS and my phone liked EB better. I say its worth flashing and trying all ICS ROMS and seeing for yourself.

Pharaoh, thanks for the information on the kernel/boot ani. Would you mind posting a link to Faux's kernel you recommended for this rom, please?

Stable rom?

Hi, my wife has recently got this phone and I got it rooted and cwm and all that on there ( I have rooted and installed recovery on a lot of phones but this was by far the most pain) and now that I have that done I need to pick a rom for her....... I'm looking for suggestions as to the most stable rom/roms. She uses her gps for work so that is a must and also looking for something smooth w/o random rebots and stuff thanks ahead of time

Dude, if you want a 100% smooth sail, i'd stick with stock KJ6.

I've been running my own personal variant of simple KJ6. Sometime ago I took Krylon's release as the base and made few changes to it (a neater 1% battery, some change to de-CIQ, etc.) It's heavily debloated though and has a couple of my own conservative presets in init.d. Otherwise it's stock. If anybody wants it I can post it.

I would say post it like FB did his.
