Lurking around, the first ROM I'm flashing will be danalo1979's Humble Froyo ROM

GummyCHARGED 1.5 is the current king-o-the-hill, IMHO.

Themes? GummyCharged. General use/battery performance? Humble.

I am totally diggin the Humble froyo ROM
Might as well concentrate your efforts on EP1F GB roms.
Glad to see you here from the Fascinate forums.

Personal opinion, humble 2.1 (ep1f) and really happy with battery life! Netflix, skype, etc...

I previously used Gummycharged 1.8.5(used it from June 28-July 15) and just recently switched to Humble 1.35 and believe me when I say it's a HUGE difference! Humble is absolutely incredible, the battery life is phenomenal and the transitions are much better then the non apparent ones on GC. Another plus for Humble is it receives updates almost daily and updating is very simple if you are already on a previous version of Humble(just install .zip from SD card in CWM).
So, best ROM? Well, I've only tried GC and Humble but seriously, Humble is probably the best lol.
give altered beast a try. i know it isn't really being updated anymore but its incredibly stable so updating isn't really an issue. i used gummy for a few days and it would randomly reboot at least once a day so i dropped it for stock debloated EP1F which is what i am currently on and i LOVE IT.
I've tried every ROM and build of Froyo and GB to date. At the end of the day I keep going back to Eclipse. Has better signal strength, no reboot issues the theme/look is done fully threwout the ROM, and battery life is awesome on it.

Yeah Nitro's EF roms were pretty stable. As far as signal goes, im not sure why you would get different signal strengths. You Radio shouldnt be changing from one rom to another, unless these are odin pkgd roms that include different radios. I can see im gonna have to do alot more research on this device. Oh well, how do you like thr droid Charge in general?

I'm asking this question because my wife's GS4G is constantly messing up and all TMO wants to do is send us another one and charge 15 bucks. If I were to exchange again this would be the forth exchange.
My wife is no tech savvy so I'm looking for the most stable rom with the least amount of issues so when I finally flash it over she can be happy. I know there might be several opinions I'm just looking for an idea....
Thank you
For Froyo 2.2.1, I'd say ICBINB by team acid, for Gingerbread, I'd say Valhalla by Whitehawkx or Audiophile FTW by Raver. But it's your choice afterall.
I would recommend flashing a gingerbread rom. Froyo roms are not even close. I'd say flash Valhalla or audiophile. But if you are going flash Valhalla make sure you use a different launcher since right now some people are having issues with touchwiz.

I would deffinayely flash the valhalla 1.1 so effin smooth simple great battery life its pretty much perfect

Valhalla or Audiophile FTW. Both ROMs are stable and have great battery life.

I like ICBINB
the froyo version of ICBINB was the most stable and issue-free, but i personally prefer vahalla 1.1 + ADW EX.
hmmm....
i think my sig says it all.
Honestly, all of them are good. It's just a matter of which ROMs you want to flash.
Froyo:
1) ICBINB = easiest way to get the smoothest Froyo
2) Audiophile = the name tells enough, if you're a music enthusiast
3) Bionix Frost or Black Ice = most basic ROMs; must flash all tweaks yourself
GB:
1) ICBINB = same as above, but better
2) Audiophile = same as above, but better
3) Valhalla = newest stable ROM for us (as of 9/21); a lot of versatility with lockscreens and EDT Tweaks
Obviously, the GB ROMs are better, but they are also a bit more complicated to deal with. Froyo ROMs are easier to flash. Be sure to look at the Bible and everything. You wouldn't want a brick and end up having your wife smack you!

That would be the best option if it was actually his phone!
I like the Deodexed KI1 rom from Whitehawkx and the e6x3 theme by Somairotevoli.
Once Whitehawkx finishes Valhalla KI1 I will be using that one.
I am actually in the same exact boat with my girlfriends SGS4G it runs horribly and has massive problems with internet connection and locking up I'm in the middle of going rounds with tmo they've sent me 2 refurbs already first one had hardware issues(brightness switched every second like it flipped through brightness levels) second one the bottum corner of the screen was cracked and now they're sending me a third one if this ones a POS, I'm gonna feel sorry for who evers on the customer service side of the phone next, sorry for going off topic

That sucks. For the first one, are you sure automatic brightness wasn't on? If lighting around you changes, the brightness changes (quite easily too).
Maybe you could fix up the next refurb with one of the suggested ROMs.
Very new to installing roms. Uf I have the stock froyo on my phone, will I have to OTA download gingerbread before I can flash a GB rom? Or can I just flash a GB rom?

Go with ICBINB either Froyo or GB and then either keep that or wait for MIUI to get the links worked out of it

Is there an OTA GB? I don't think so. You'll have to ODIN a GB ROM. I'm using Valhalla 1.2 with drhonk's KI1 Kernel with full ext4. Very sweet.
Hi there,
I've been lurking for a while, trying to absorb as i've information as I could before I worked up the courage to flash my phone.
yesterday was the day I finally decided to flash 2.3.4 audiophile (instead of deciding to go with 2.3.5 Valhalla). So i'm curiois as to what makes audiophile a better "media" ROM as compAred to Valhalla?

Anyone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
it is mentioned in the OP of audiophile, but overall, it is supposed to have better sound tweaks.
i like audiophile over valhalla because (TO ME), it is more stable for the way that i tweak my phone. valhalla lasts forever once you undervolt it, though.

Thanks, curiosity satisfied

I prefer Audiophiles because it is very stable, sound is amazing and it's fully themed. Also, it's performance is snappy, no lag at all. I have been on them since the first one came out for Froyo. Also, Valhalla and ICBINB are great roms too. All better than stock of course. So maybe you could try them all, like I do, and decide later.
*At the moment... I'm using Valhalla just for curiosity and was told KI3 had better wifi signal. Tried ICBINB some days ago too. All great. Anyway, this is just until Raver releases an update. I will jump back, no second thoughts.*
I flashed Valhalla yesterday because wifi calling volume was incredibly low on audiophile. Seems the same so far, but to be faire, I haven't done anything too intensive or out there, mod-wise
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Heavenly Sin,
I thought the low calling volume on Wifi was always there? Are you suggesting that was 'better' on Froyo?
btw: I run Audiophile and luv it. Nothing against others, its just where I am at present and its proven to be very stable and responsive. Props to Raver
wifi calling is low on froyo rom's.. specifically Bali kernels.. its loud and clear on gb roms but wifi id low signal lmao

I am using Audiophile FTW and let me say it's great. I love this ROM. Tried Valhalla before this but I was getting random restarts. Switched to this ROM and haven't looked back yet.
Raver, you gonna port audiophile to a kj1 base anytime soon?

Already super smooth/no data drop like on CM7, will install thunderbolt or USAS soon.
CM7 is working for me right now. It may be getting a little bit old, but since it is running stable for me at the moment, I will probably stick with it until AT&T releases GB for our lovely big screened handheld supercomputer... jk we will never get GB... at least not before we get ICS

Darky -> Dlev -> Galnet MIUI ICS (Black Ice ICS theme, GO Launcher with additional ICS theming)
First time opting for a non-Samsung ROM as a daily driver. Even with its hiccups, it's smooth and stable, and I get my hardware accelerated 1080p FLAC+subtitles MKV with DicePlayer. I'm missing the TouchWiz contacts app though.
Edit: Screenshots:
Hay GGX im kinda interested in seeing what you have setup, if you dont mind editing your post and putting up couple screenshots of what that looks like, would be nice to see
Thanks again for our infuse members placing their votes, i really wanted to see how our members have been using these roms , especially with the incredible dumps which have been coming lately lmao
Tried a good few of the roms available, like them all but seem to keep falling back to CM7. The phone just seems to run the best with it. And the UCKJ1 modem is the best I've found for the area I live in!

Sorry, but I didn't (I did some searching, but I didn't actually try to install it). I did everything using only MIUI's built-in settings and GO Launcher.
I just ordered the G2x tonight on a black Friday deal for free from t mobile, very excited to get this phone. im coming from the Samsung galaxy s which is a great phone but my techie needs cry out for a duel core processor. anyways I hope to be seeing you all around the forums in about 4 days when it comes in the mail & also its nice to see a familiar face around here krylon360 has done great things with the sgs4g and his rom will be the first on my phone once rooted anyways hope you all had a great thanksgiving.
Maybe ur already aware of this... but its not bad to refresh it...
To do list:
1. NVFLASH CWM!! There are some neat guides at the dev forum.
2. Make your first backup and save it on ur PC.
3. Choose ur favorite ROM flavor, sprinkle it with a custom kernel and enjoy!
A good start can be a stock rom like whitehawk's weapon x 2.3.3 or jboxers 2.3.4 roms, rock solid (although 2.3.4 roms lack of source so there are no custom kernels for now)
But if u feel more experimented you should choose CM7 or miui... recent nightlies are quite stable...

Weapon would be my first choice to start with. Then MIUI or CM7.
Once you do MIUI or CM7 you'll never go back.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Tried miui for the first time yesterday... its sick... krylons rom is alright... but hasn't been updated at all... so I agree with weapon or cm or miui... latest miui is on rootz by whitehawkx
