Hello guys, I have a Samsung Nexus S i9023 GSM SLCD version in India. I installed stock ICS 4.0.3 IML74K on it. There is too much battery drain and it restarts 1 or 2 times daily and sometimes gets very very slow. I want to try other ROMs if they help. I want to know how to root it and which are the ROMs which are as close to stock ROM in appearance as possible. Providing the links may do fine.

Hi
If you want to try ARHD here is the main 2 things. Both versions are very stable.
4.1.9 is Sense 3.5
3.6.9 is Sense 3 (which is what comes on the phone)
3.5 is more polished and better laid out
3.0 seems a bit smoother and is better for gaming
as for bricked the best luck I have seen is version 1.51 beta 1 v528.
Thanks both of you for reply Kohr.Ah can you please provide me links with that cause it's really hard to find different versions they're all mixed, and I am so confused right now Please help me with this, First of all I am so scared now of ARHD roms because I had just installed ARHD 5.0.2 on my phone with radio 11.xx.xx.xx.xx But I didn't see any changes it was all same like , Dialer, Launcher home, lock screen etc, BUt I had a problem my call was restarting by itself It did restart byitself like 8 or 10 times I tried turning off and turning on again and also I tried reinstalling the rom but the problem was same, Then I reinstalled my old radio and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406322 which I was using before this rom is really nice but has some bugs because it's ICS, The thing is I don't want to brick my phone I can't afford another one, First time in my life I have a phone like this, So pleaseee help me which rom is good, I am planning to install 4.1.9 with sense 3.5 and the brick kernel ver 1.51 as you said But I can't find the link can you please tell me if it's right ? and please also provide me the links Thank you

I am on the phone and can't link unfortunately. But if you go to ARHD thread 4.1.9 should be post number 3. You will see a banner that says download and under it will say 4.1.9.
If you have trouble finding it I can link you it later today

Flash Energy rom, In my opinion Energy ROM with sense 3.5 is the best rom out for sensation series. Very attractive as well as good battery life. Since i got my sensation I have tried and tested all roms, Energy is the best one out there, Other with good battery life are Elegancia ROM, Percaso rom, and RC MIX

Have a look at my sig, it contains links to my favourites at the moment.
3.6.9- the link is also there for 4.1.9, Bricked link and the radio which has given me least issues.
Spotify?
Has anyone found an ICS sensation rom that works with Spotify?
Thank you so much everyone for your help and support I don't know, I just can't figure out why ARHD doesn't work on my cell, I have tried different versions of ARHD but I am having a same problem with all the versions my mobile is restarting with all the ARHD rom's :/ and now again I am gone back to Ultimite ICS rom, BUt I am happy with that now, I am just scared of flashing other rom's and the battery timing is also pretty good It's nearly 9 hours on my battery and I've still got 78% left I have made some calls and took some pictures and WIFI is on. Thanks guys

Thanks Tariq bhai for your suggestion, But I removed my stock rom because I wanted to try something different, I am using Ultimite(ICS) from webstar1 right now and it's awesome rom with good battery life some little bugs needed to be fix, But still this rom is the best rom from all.
Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!
1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.
1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone
thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help
I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD

I have installed couple of ROMs with old and new base-band ,ginger based , ICS bases and JB based and all ended with viber crashing while talking and my device stays unresponsive for like 10 minutes the only way to get viber working is by using the stock firmware with old base-band foryo based
how can i fix that?because stock ROM sucks and a lot laggy when compared to CM7 which im trying to use here
try stock 2.3.3

But for it worked well with some nightly of CM7 (I can't remember the exact version). May be you can try a few and check if it works for you too.

Hi Guys,
I am an IT person, but totally new to Android. I am having Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959v) running GingerBread (2.3.6).
I had upgraded from Froyo to GingerBread using Kies mini... and since that I am facing a lot of issues running... like slow responsiveness, phone hangs, some times unable to make calls, very high RAM usage etc...
So to fix these issues, I am thinking to install custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.3 - CyanogenMod 10.2). But I don't know how to do that.
What I read on thread is it first needs to ROOT the device, but I am not sure how to ROOT the device.
Please help me to ROOT the device in easy steps and install custom ROM.. (Off course without bricking my device )
Thanks.
Look at the second link in my signature. Instead of flashing the whole package just flash AntonX's kernel. Read the first couple of posts in the Heimdal thread and you will hopefully know what I am referring to.
From there, follow the directions in the OP of the ROM thread that you would like to flash. The OP will also tell you what works and does not work for that ROM.
I would suggest making a backup copy of your efs folder for the just in case..

You can find the Wiki, FAQ, lumin30's guide, and more here.
Like I said before, you have to search and read.
Thanks guys for all info and help.

I liked the new experience (I am coming from stock GB) ... Trying out the stuff now...
thanks again!!!
Newbie here! Hi! My question is. Had a desire s sitting in a drawer for ages because the battery wasn't holding a charge. Bought a new battery, but its running really slow even after i did a factory reset. Are there any new updates i could download for it please? Its currently running android 4.0.4 TIA for all and any help!
Look at the Desire S Android Development. There are a lot of good ROM choices. Just need to be S-Off or have an unlocked bootloader plus a Custom Recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If you do then you can choose between the ROMs available. There are a ton of it. Just need to try which one fits the best for you.
I'm currently using Sagasation V2.0. I just removed the Samsung stuffs in the ROM even the Launcher and installed Nova. I also did some CPU Overclocking. I can say this is the best ROM I've ever tried. Really fast and can stand to be a daily driver. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 by the way.
Thanks! Will give it a go!
