Gingerbread 2.3.5-Comparison of regional ROMS to decide best one for mod development! - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Dear Friends ....
We all are flushed by Samsung with so many roms in the past 7-10 days (and its still raining!) ... While all are Gingerbread 2.3.5, there are customization differences in terms of apps, fonts, language support, etc. .... And our prized developers are divided in focusing their development efforts between these various roms ... which makes choice even more difficult!
I am making this thread to capture dedicated discussions on key pros and cons of each rom that may be analysed by our forum's developers for guidance to -
1) Decide which is the best one in their opinion ... and why!
2) Once there is consensus on the choice, everybody can focus their development efforts on that rom so that we have the complete fruits of joint efforts!
Unless we do this, we will keep wandering from thread to thread in search of bliss! ...
Hope this makes sense ....
Cheers, Envy

i think the chinese GB has call recording, an extra function
I personally have not used it
but if all else is same in all the roms and we have to choose one rom for mods
i think go for the chinese version, atleast everyone will have the call recording by default
i'm using DDKP3 as of now.....
but anyone who has used the chinese rom and has experience with some other rom as well like KPH, KPM, KPN etc etc
please shed some light as to which u feel was better and compare the aspects of the rom with the chinese one please

Hi .. I am on ZCKP9 and can confirm that call recording also works through handsfree (wired headset) .... Hence, its not dependent on voice coming through phone's speakers .... will try and also check through bluetooth handsfree and confirm .... Cheers ... Envy

what is the best wm6 for universal ?

hey guys
i'm using the last i-mate wm5 rom version and i'm happy with this it no bugs or problems
i'm thinking about upgrading to wm6 i want to know witch one is the best rom bugs free and i could install arabic lang on it
Regards
any one willing to help ?
i think a lot of people will tell you to try them out and see which one you like.
i wish that the people that have tried them out would make like a rating system and tell us from one to 10 in catergories like which is most stable, faster, .. battery life.. things of that nature.
i myself am still using jwrights, i heard ivan's is better.
i just haven't upgraded for some reason.
I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330662 and it's really good. No videocall in this ROM but no videocall in my country...
But WTF, read forum before posting, 3E183563 such topics already...

the problem with your suggestion is that different people use their phone differently which makes the rating system a bit difficult.... one rom may be good for someone while another is not... it may be because of the other softwares installed or the features he/shes uses often or not often... take for example bluetooth connectivity... some will have trouble pairing a device for a specific rom while another will not due to the type of device being paired with...
just my 2 cents though.... this is why most questions like these are almost left unanswered...
looks like i have to try few till i get a new one and i already serached the forum before posting but couldn't get a clear answer
right now i need a good back up tool to save my contacts and sms witch support both wm5 and wm6 witch one i could use ?

As the number of custom ROMS or STOCK ROM is growing here and some cooks are providing full/lite/meduim versions I just wanted to get an overview on what to include in a light ROM. So, please give tips on for making the best lite ROM experience as possible
If you are missing an option, please post it...maybe we can collect it here afterwards...
Thanks to this great community!

ok, i will update thank's for correction
but..i cannot edit this vote.
i'm so sorry for peterking. i miss your rom.
non at the moment, I'm not gonna vote this. Don't get me wrong and please do not flame me, it is not at all about the developers, I appreciate the developers as everyone does and I thank to everyone for the great custom roms. It is the LG Stock 2.2 roms that suck big time and all roms are based on them at the moment. With the experience with other Android phone, this expensive so called high end phone don't deserve a ****ty rom. I'm only putting up hope with the upcoming official gingerbread rom, probably only then I will get more answer if this phone deserve as a keeper. And from then on, hope Cyanogenmond will have everything 3Ds working.
I'm totally pissed of with the phone due to the rom in many ways.
BTW, my previous old WM6.5 HTC HD2 with ported Cyanogenmod works way better than this LG phone at the moment. What the ****! really!

Am using the Stock rom. it has everything I need .
I only
installed root
and did few modifications of some files
to improve a bit the JPEG compression (now my pics are round 1,5MB - was about 0,9-1MB)
and video bitrate (about 9-15Mbps - 10sec/15MB - was about 10sec/10MB).
Thats all i need and this works great, has a nice default font and everything is running fine.

I`m totally agree with you.
Current custom ROMs are great and I really appreciate what Devs are doing but the ROM's are basically the Stock ROM without some of LG's apps and a few build.prob tweaks and a different theme.
You can still see some Stock LG in their ROMs. For example, none of them has managed to fully remove LG's Social+ cause you can still see it in Setting>Accounts & Sync even though they removed the Widget.
My only hope was CyanogenMod but the current one is waaaay too unstable and buggy.
I kinda regret selling my old Xperia X10. It had a huge amount of amazing ROMs to choose from.
Oh well...
right now the stock rom or thiaiz rom which uses the stock kernel is good.every other rom i used makes me sick...feels like my old captivate was faster even having a single core..i suggest everyone just stay on the stock and use some tweaks till GB is out..then maybe we can see some hope!
if it wasnt for the 3d stuff i would have never bought this phone!! i would have gone for sgs2!!

Hi mate.I'm comming from HTC Desire and SGS2. Every single ROM in boths forums looks the same.Stock,cyanogen or MIUI(chinese cyanogen copy) based with build.prop and themes tweaks.What you guys expect HTC Sense running on O3D ? What they have that we dont is custom Kernel and GB, and we have 3D + 3D converter.But I agree LG did a big mistacke with Froyo and that can cost them a lot.

So you're angry just because it says 2.2? I can tell you how to make the info about say eg. 3.9.9 if you'd like Be happy that the stock rom is stable without any troubles. My opinion is to better have not the newest version but the one which is stable, and this is what LG did - its stable, not crashing, compatible with all official apps. I had many smartphones and its not that common that a stock offical rom runs so smooth as 10D made by LG, believe me.
And, the update to 2.3 will be released during October, so you dont need to wait such long to get rid of 2.2 the official way
Gingerbread will be release on oct
hi all...
Yesterday LG say October will release GB for LG Optimus 2x, Optimus Black and Optimus 3D. so...patient please

tbh i love the phone...
I bought it for the 3d video recording. 2 complaints though:
1. poor bluetooth stack (my iControlPad would be a perfect fit for Mario64 in 3D) and
2. the audio quality on the video recording is appalling. I hope GB fixes this (or a custom rom!
I would be happy to contribute very generously to any dev that can fulfil my 2 gripes.
Im happy with my stock rom. What i need is everything the same as are (the same launcher,3d space) everything as stock, just would be good to have rooted phone and better video photo quality, of course faster is better too. but its fast enough for me after htc wildfire so does whis forum has what i need?

I flashed the stock V10j (Australian one) and I don't know why but it was slow and laggy. so I went back to King3D v1.8 for now until ThiaiZ release v.1.3 of his ROM.
On the positive note, the Converter app was cool but when you convert a game to 3D, it became a little laggy. (The ROM had Angry Birds Rio by default. When converted to 3D, it wasn't very smooth but it was awesome nonetheless)
I didn't notice any other changes compare to V10e.
Cheers and sorry for my bad English.

[only info ROM/no download] 24-10 TripNMiui 2.3.7 - TripNkernel

Hello Guys. lot of time passes from the my last visit to modaco forum. In fact there are few roms. But the there are two of these really interesting.
I wanna try it because there are some beautiful function like MOBILE BRAVIA ENGINE 4 (the same of xperia arc), xLOUD to improve speaker sound visible in this changelog
TripNRaVeR port for MSM8660 Pyramid touchscreens
- xLOUD 4.0.A.2.368

it seems strange that in this forum I never seen something about these two roms.
I' talking about two roms because the firs is a MIUI and has beats, the second is based on CM//aosp and I dont think hs beat (unfortunately I need this tweaks)
THERE AN IMPORTANT INFO OF THIS ROM. KERNEL IS 2.6.38, INSTEAD MY SYNERGY 2.6.35
Well, its not in this forums because he has stated he didn't want the ROMs to be posted here.
I just removed the link, so the thread is only to informed poeple. I dont undestand why developers dont want to share theirs rom. Is counterproductive.
I guess he has some issues with XDA. That's why he didn't want it to be posted here.
he was banned in this form...so he don't share this rom on this form.
his rom is very cool..very smooth..
I only write about the roms. If moderator dont want, I'll happy to remove my thread, but still they dont contact me, I'll wait
Communication and Sharing
he said on modaco a while ago , that he has no problem if his stuff is on xda but
he has to work with someone from here to maintan the thread and so on ,maybe
the OP can talk to trip and a moderator from here and arrange something.
LET'S WORK TOGETHER PEOPLE !!!
yeahhh, you have reason.
I would try a rom cyanogen very faster than others with beats, bravia engine xLOUD (spectacular) and fps limit at 80 fps
Trip didn't care about puuting thw rom on xda. He gave approval to tonyo to do it
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
i think this thread will be close...
we all know why..
ok, you can close the thread, but I don't understand.
I'm so sorry for this "war" between two of best android forums on network.
I know the problem, but we do not speak about the user nicknamed (is this word exist??) modaco, but another user.
I am not seeing the point of this thread we already know about the other Miui and aosp duhh
Trips ROM was great at first, but he doesn't develop consistently if that makes sense. Every release he completely re-does all kinds of big important parts to the ROM (drivers, etc...) and this results in broken stuff that used to be fixed lol. The audio is good (too loud actually), but everything else pales in comparison to the MiUI.us build.
Not meant to get into an argument or anything, just would like to pass on my point of view to others who might want to go flash his ROM for the first time. I've flashed every ROM and every kernel of his. IMO, the version on this site is leaps and bounds ahead...
That would make sense why trips on his 10th build and their are always problems with his rom. Miui released just 2 builds so far it is way better than trips 10 builds lol
he created a rom with 80 fps limitation and mobile bravia engine. this people must be thkanked maybe with a breer by paypal.
In these roms (miui and aosp) all work. but beats is missing. I never seen a rom cyanogen with beats. do you know if is possible to implement??
Scumbag XDA.
Wants the best roms, bans the best devs.

His builds are pretty good. Just had a problem with the recent one with start up reboots that's why I reverted back to aosp for now. Otherwise, best battery life, Camera is perfect, audio is perfect and performance and feautures is there. It's the perfect rom.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I recently checked out TripN's ROM after not having used it for a while. Found the latest one to cause bootloops, and after I sorted that out, it was more buggy than one of his older ROMs. Don't know why though.
I would use the miui.us build regularly if the camera was sorted. I don't even use my camera that often, but its good to know you have a semi decent camera and camcorder available on a sense Rom when you need it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Can you tell me the bugs that are in Trips, that are not in MIUI.us? and vice versa
No point in this as it is not development....

[Q] 2-way call recording

Hello folks.
I am curious if anyone knows of any regularly updated decent kernels / ROMs that have 2-way call recording capability? (Not recorded through the mic.)
As far as ROMs...Jellybean only please.

It will never be a kernel issue. This would be done through a ROM or an app.
None of the Jellybean ROM's for the Sensation currently have this as a standard option as far as I know.
Thanks for the response.
Are you sure though? I was under the impression that the kernel was the only thing that mattered.

These are quite old though. I would rather not use a super old kernel. =P
I realize that I will need an app to record phone calls. However if you have ever tried out apps that are designed to record calls on a sensation they only work when you use speakerphone (basically the mic records what the speakerphone pumps out). Last I tried most kernels were incapable of grabbing the audio data internally for some reason.
I think the reason was something along the lines of the initial developers did not include that functionality and it would be a lot of work to include after the fact, tons of extra code etc.
Also! I like your sig!

Well I'll be a son of a gun.....I guess I was wrong about the kernel not being involved. I knew the kernel controlled the audio at the very basic level, but I never realized it would have to be involved in sending that audio to another app.
DO NOT using one of those old kernels you linked though. They are for another phone. It will screw up your ROM and you'll have to restore a back up.
As far as I know all ICS/Sense based kernels can be used for 2WCR. For Gingerbread they needed a patch, but for ICS I think it comes enabled in the source code. Personally I use a Kernel from a banned dev, but I think you could use Faux or Bricked and have 2WCR. Don't worry about them not being updated, there is not much development you can do on a platform that had been out for so long (and I mean ICS 4.0.3).
For 4.1+ and AOSP I have no idea...

I didn't know that. Thanks a bunch!
Recently I had a bit of time on my hands (lack of time is most often my biggest problem ><) so I started trying out some ROMs to see if any had 2WCR. What I was looking for in order of importance: Jelly Bean, ROM that was upgradable to Pdroid 2.0/OpenPdroid, and 2WCR. I ended up using [ROM][CM-10.1][JB 4.2.1][KANG] NameLess Bean [05.02.2013] so far it's a great ROM. Doesn't bench quite as high as my last ROM. I plan on installing some of the performance / battery mods out there once I have been rocking this ROM a week or two and know which bugs it already has =P (so that I can know if any of the mods create bugs heh).
I ended up using the app CallRecorder (skvalex) after trying several other apps which didn't work so well. CallRecorder only has one problem I've noticed, the files it saves do not show up within the app. If you go to the saved directory they are all there and work fine though. /storage/sdcard0/voix by default.
Hopefully this post will be helpful for sensation users looking for 2WCR in the future. Thanks again papete!
good
good innovative feature
I use CallRecorder app too but its very hard to hear what other people are saying, you need to use speakerphone.
I really don't understand why is this feature not fully implemented on all android phones, i often forget what i talked with someone few minutes before, so i need to recheck.

One of the reasons it's not implemented on all phones is because it's illegal to record calls without consent in a lot of places.

[Q] Is there any bideo-bug-free custom rom with android > 4.0?

Hi,
I'm looking for some kind of custom rom which does not have video bug(out of sync or low framerate). I'm a noob, I've read some threads in development section and I've found that even some stable roms have issues with video recording. So I wonder if there is a single rom which doesn't have that issues. (I am afraid that all CM based roms will have some issues related to video, am I right?).
Basically I need stable, battery savy rom without wifi/video bug. Responsive UI would be nice.
I don't need super fast games or other extra features.
I'm kind of OK with 2.3.6, there are some applications which work only for Android 4.0 and above versions, that's why I want to switch, that's all.
I'm living in Europe if that matters.
I know that "best rom" threads are not liked here, but it's quite hard to find proper rom, unfortunately I couldn't find many I9003 related forums with opinions about roms.
