Please recommend a ROM for my wife's phone... - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I have a samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch so I'm not familiar with any ROMs for her phone. I'm just looking for something stable and that has better-than-stock battery life and performance. She's not a tech junkie or anything like that, so it doesn't have to be anything fancy or anything that's going to require a lot of customizing. She likes her stock setup, but she's been complaining about battery life lately.
Thanks in advance for the help!

This is the Galaxy S 4G forum. The Epic 4G Touch forum can be found here. Good Luck with your quest!

Ive asked this also. Picked mine up this morning and man is it a real beauty, the screen is awesome, so far stock perfermance is verry good.
Hey mods can we get a forum for this phone please?
You will have better luck Pm'ing the Admin
I agree, just picked one up. Just so you know super one click root works to root it.

Picked up my Infuse today, holy crap is it nasty!
So far compared to Inspire:
Sound - Much clearer and louder
Screen - ... WOW, not even comparable. The extra size is nice but nothing compared to the beauty of this screen
Signal - Better everywhere so far. My real test is at work tomorrow
Size - While the screen is big, it is SO thin, and Amazingly light!
This phone is fantastic so far, I couldn't be happier.
Can't wait for XDA Section
P.s. where do you get drivers for the phone?
Yeaaa! I love mine.

Another thing I found that works with it being rooted is audioboost.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Where or what drives did you use?
I can't believe that a phone that is of this caliber doesn't have blutooth voice dial.
My ancient bb curve 8310 has voice dial. Thats very sad.

The infuse needs it own forum ASAP. Need some dev support so I can decide whether to buy this phone or not....

I bought the Atrix the day it came out. I also just bought the Infuse yesterday. The Atrix went on ebay and sold. And its better that way. Even though the specs on the Atrix are better, in my opinion its not better then the Infuse. And I dont have to even discuss why lol
Infuse 4G forum coming this week!
I bought my infuse on Friday and glad I did, I was using the inspire before that.

this is straight from the cyanogen mod website
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/samsung-galaxy-s-series-support
"Galaxy S 4G is currently not supported by CM7 it doesn’t fit into any of those categories, to answer your question. But as it is very similar to the Vibrant, I’m sure it will get support eventually"
hopefully one day

Best you could do is probably something like this. At least for now u can have the cm theme just no extras.

I've been looking at buying one of these off CL but have been holding out due to no CM7. I might just go get a Vibrant instead.
I am new in this someone can say restart me like in CWM and as Flashear in CWM, thanks for his help
I love the gs4g but im having so many problems with mine and the fact that it doesnt have cyanogenmod support is driving me nuts. How strict r the roms? Like is it an absolute no to try the vibrant one on the gs4g??

just bought a g2x

must say im very impressed with this phone, coming from an epic 4g this phone is 10x better. love the variety of roms and all of the features.rooting was a breeze. Thanks devs for making this phone that much more awesome.
Welcome! It's nice still seeing people having an interest in this phone. I'd recommended flashing the latest CM7 nightly, and a kernel with Voodoo sound.

I recommend CM or MIUI.

Welcome aboard man. The G2x is a worlds better than any of the first generation Galaxy S's. And I'm sure you've already learned that.
As already mentioned, CM7 is awesome. Have fun!

Is it worth it?

Is it worth trading my galaxy s 4g for a nexus s?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It's a pretty even bet too me, but i don't pay attention to phone prices and other content, but I've always wanted a nexus phone, lol. They seem so pure and have alot of development for them. But I'll say what i say to every other person with a question relating to yours, it's up to you.
Sorry if i didn't help and just wasted your time.

I moved to a Nexus S a little over a month ago from the Galaxy S 4G and to me it was a great move. ROM development is definitely a good plus. I found it to be snappier than the Galaxy S 4G.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I think the only downside is the loss of 4g data speed. Other than that the nexus s is a better bet. Plus it is getting ics. I would go for it. If you don't like it I am sure you will find someone willing to trade again for it.

Upgrade

Hi everybody, it has been 24 beautiful months with my HTC evo 4g and I have upgrade opportunity (sprint) I have flashed around 30 ROMs and I'm still in love with this phone, any ideas of what sprint phone will make a very good upgrade I just don't want to upgrade to a phone that is going to disappoint me since my evo hasn't.
A lot of people tells me that I should wait for the iphone 5, I'm not really sure, thnx in advance

EVO 4G LTE or Galaxy Nexus or Sprint Galaxy S3
Those are the top phones on Sprint right now,
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
IMO, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and exciting phone I've ever held. Until I played with that for a few minutes, I was positive my next phone would be an iPhone. My DROID Charge is about a year older than the S3 and I couldn't help but think of what a difference a year makes. That difference was enough to convince me that the Android is much more fun to own. My phone is a hobby, always a progress in motion. For better or worse.

I would suggest to wait for the galaxy s Note 2 . Been waiting for it to come,and from what i heard the spec are quite high, its the like enlarge version of Galaxy S3.
Samsung galaxy s3. Go for it.

Thnx for ur comments, how's the galaxy s3 battery life, is it a built in battery?

It's not built in and the S3 has GREAT battery life, people are reporting 20+ hours with moderate use.
