[Q] Need Advice! Which Rom is the best for this device

Since I have bricked my first Galaxy Fit after 3 days of using, I wonder which ROM (custom or stock) would be the best for this device?
I already ordered the same as new and still wanting to mod it because .. well Froyo sucks
My Knowledge so far
Rooted it and flashed gingerbread with Odin. Worked fine and stable.
To get now to my questions:
1. I would like to know (dis)advantages from the custom roms available for this device.
2. Does every Custom Rom support different languages? Cuz I´d prefer german or ant least english
3. Where do I get the files to flash it and can I use Odin for it or is there a different method needed (which one then pls)
4. Does every app run on custom ROMS?
It is much of questions, I know but it is half as much I want to know
I´ll be really glad about answers to this noobish questions.

check CREEDS ROM 1.5 its very nice, and only have 1 bug, the alarm.

Thank you.
What is the alarm bug means that it doesn´t work?
is Creed to be usable in other languages?
Where do I get the right version for my Device and do I flash it with Odin?

Try FITDroid v.2.0. Its probably the most bug free custom rom out there for our G-FIT.
But now I'm currently on Creed's ROM v.1.5

Creed's ROM Music force closes when you arrange song queues when you create a playlist.. but I installed Winamp from the market and it's great tho..
FITDroid 2.0/Creed's ROM I suggest
I'm on Creed's ROM atm

I liked cm but have some bugs like can't make international calls. So now i use creeds rom. Is ok , i think better than fitdroid. Cm is cool cuz u can oc

[Q] Which custom ROM is recommended for me?

Hi all,
I need help deciding which custom ROM to flash to my i9003, but i want one that has full Arabic support and a good camera firmware. If possible, please post images of ROMs you recommend, any help is appreciated

Good camera- gingerbread has dim video recording, so choose a froyo custom rom. Maybe cranium 3.1(I tink its froyo, not sure) and should have Arabic(again, I'm not sure). Check out the android dev section for that rom, and also I believe you can add Arabic patch to any cRom.

hello mate,
Well if you not interested in video record, I suggest for you Cyanogenmod 7 it is so smooth and stable with some issue that can be fixed soon, like video record, apps can't use mic.
this is my chose
and have fun

@bscraze Thanks for your response. Ive been reading a little about Cranium 3.1, and i'm about to flash it but i had a question related to the instructions given by sakindia123:
he says clean flash to XXKPH, so can i flash to JPKP5 instead? it is exactly the same version of gb but just different region (language)
maybe anyone can answer my question without having to start a new thread over it
thanks..

I don't think so, there's no reason not flash to xxkph, unless you're sim locked. If you still want to try, go ahead, I'm not sure weather it will work. If it doesn't you can always reflash, as it will result in a soft brick at most

cranium is GB, not froyo. don't flash the rom without upgrading to GB first. (I see that was mentioned that you know it's GB, so just a warning...). in addition, if you haven't seen it yet and you want to use push mail notification, GB has a bug on all ROMs that keeps it from working properly. if you don't need it, then flash away!

The reason i dont want to flash to xxkph is that it doesnt support Arabic :/

Actually i do need the push mail notification, but i hate the Froyo keyboard, copy/paste options and some other things.. bottom line: i'll stick to GB (thanks for warning)
BUT i want it custom GB (i chose Cranium) and i'm facing the language issue mentioned above

Other popular custom roms include titanium s(IMO it's good) and poseidons rom(many people use this rom) or cranium 5.1.

I'm pretty sure that Cranium doesnt support Arabic so i moved on to try CyanogenMod7.. what do u think?? CyanogenMod7 or poseidons??

Well they both have Arabic patch, just that I'm not sure if its preinstalled in cm7. Cm7 has dsp manager which is good, Poseidon I'm not sure if it has dsp manager. Its really personal preference, for me I prefer cm7. Poseidon just wasnt for me . If you try and you feel it doesnt suit your taste, then switch. Right now I love miui so much I haven't switched roms ever since I flashed it, though im aa flashaholic and flash a lot of roms in the past for my android phones

Remember to do a full wipe before and after flashing(for safety) and you may want to flash a custom kernel after that, maybe xda bam or uc kernel, and remember to wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the kernel.
Remember that if you can't boot your phone but can access download mode, don't panic, just do a reflash. Eg. Reflash kpq.
PS. I recommend uc kernel v9 2009 or 1009 or 3009 if your phone can handle the overclock. Also, custom roms are definitely better than stock roms have fun flashing

Best GB ROM?

Hello friends!
Presently I am on Osmanfans 1.3 based on XXKB3 Froyo. As its a pretty long time since I updated, I am planning to update. As the phone will be used by my wife and she doesnt like to experiment a lot, please guide me as to which is the best ROM and kernal available as of now.
Please donot confuse me with multiple choices. I want to shift to a Gingerbread ROM which is complete in itself and doesnt lack features. I checked the features of MIUI and it looked nice but unfortunately it doesnt support Video recording and seems to have battery issues.
All said and done, give me one ROM that you guys think is the best...
Thank you.

I will suggest u 2 simple options
1. XXKPQ Its one of the most famous GB rom available which most of the people & most of the kernel developers use it as base rom. So I highly recommand u to use it.
2. DDKP3 Its Indian based rom which has most highest battery backup in GB rom. But as compared to xxkpq it has less mods avalable in forum.
U can use use xda bam kernel or doomlord kernel. Both are superb kernels.
Choice is urs...!!

dont misguide people plz.

If your wife has to use it then I suggest you stick to xxkb3 rom which has least bugs whereas all gb roms have bugs at my last count it was having 7 bugs. These bugs either have workaround or custom mods or use custom kernal which solves these bugs.

I am using stock kpq, rooted, de-odexed and removed all unnecessary apps. Added necessary mods.
Pretty happy with it.

From my experience most will lag.
However, the new UAE update (not a value pack) stock firmware doesn't lag in the keyboard, and is kinda fast and stable.
Search for the latest UAE XSG firmware on sammobile, or the latest indian DDLF2 value pack found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741370

try galaxy s2 keyborad which is posted in theme station.

Dude, i suggest you use MIUI GB version and i tell you youl gonna jump and stik to this rom if thats the case. Even not O.C kernel.

Try using miui, or the new RemICS 1.5 if you want lag free keyboards.
RemICS really is smooth again.
Pandora as well as ddlf2, and cm7 lite posted in dev section are smooth for typing.
Please also read other bugs or enhancement for the respective Rom before trying.
Press thanks if helped

may i suggest poseidon's rom (mine paired with uc kernel v9 1009).
never experienced any lag on keyboard. u can also try s2 keyboard as stated by vishal. cheers,

im using android keyboard which is extracted from poseidon's rom in xxkpq since months. i found no lag till now

[Q] Is there any point in trying to get AOSP 4.3.1 working on the Chacha??

It seems that KitKat requires an ARMV7 processor to work.
There is already a project of porting KitKat to ARMV6 processors.
I'm trying up to my knowledge to port AOSP to ChaCha by adapting 4.3.1_r1, but...
Is this wasted time or work??
Thanks for your opinions.

It would be nice to have ANY finished CM rom. Problem is with each new release the last gets forgotten before it's finished. I've got a de-sensed stock rom to share if anyones interested? Cant post a link till I get post count over 10!

As I said ANY vesrsion. The only fully working roms are the stock (not CM) Gingerbread ones and even that has a major issue with the dialler bug. I loved and had high hopes for CM9 when I first tried it but there has been no update in 18 months! These roms never get finished because the next android version comes along and interest moves to that before the previous is finished. I've tried them all and get too annoyed with the bugs so myself use stock based roms specifically Hexgores as a starting point for my own rom.

The rom I use is based on the stock HTC 2.3.5 Gingerbread rom, Hexgores rom is on the main Chacha rom listing page which is a slightly de-bloated version of stock and my rom is a further de-bloated, de-sensed and tweaked version of that. My rom is great on battery life and everything works as it should e.g wifi, bluetooth, both cameras and so on.

I didn't say it had no dialler bug but has other tweaks that help with power usage. Using Holo launcher but at least everything works as it should unlike any currently available non-stock based rom. If efforts get diverted from JellyBean to KitKat roms then we will never get a finished decent CM rom.
