[Poll] what rom are you using and what's your favorite thing about it - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Didn't see a thread like this so I thought id make one for fun lol
I'm on unnamed by raver my favorite thing is the battery life
Sent from my galaxy s 4g using XDA app

The rom I'm using is MIUI.
My favorite thing about it is the customization and overall UI.
I wish the ringtone, vibration, and camcorder was fixed. ]:

Right now I'm on the latest sweet child of mine. It's very fast and smooth. Haven't had any reboots so far and I've been on it since it came out. Like the red theme a lot and have had a really good signal. Still testing battery but so far so good!

MIUI rocks! lol

ics for the sgs2 self kang

MIUI was my favorite, but the lack of foursquare makes it a deal-breaker for day-to-day. Currently on ICNB; it's rock-ish, like those Chevy Truck commercials.

Valhalla Black. Solid. Waiting for miui

I use my slightly modified valhalla black.
I added /etc/profile with some command line aliases since I use the CLI a lot more than I used to now.
Updated superuser and some other files, my own bootanimation, my own init.d files and a few apps added on install and some more debloating of apps I don't use. It's still 99% VB though.
My favorite thing about it is the stability. Raver did some fine work with that ROM in addition to the work Whitehawk did.

Was on VB for a long time. Then MIUI for over a month. Now using erikmm's Sweet Child Of Mine. What I like about this one is he's pulled a lot from MIUI and put it in this. Check it out and see. Plus the name is just bad ass.

MIUI. I never have to answer the phone immediately, and I always had my phone on silent anyway. Everything else is the ****.

I'm on the latest version of Sweet Child Of Mine and loving it!! I love MIUI but I need to have the ringtone work. I like the MIUI features that are incorporated into the Sweet Child Of Mine ROM.

VB....solid

you know the trick to getting ringtones to work on miui load the mp3 player then hit home so it stays resident in memory ur phone will ring ;P

Back to valhalla black for me

Where is it?
Edit: Oops, nvm found it.
its crazy fast and everything seems to be working.
Tried it briefly. Butter smooth.
Wifi calling didn't work. I depend on it now with the crappy dead zone I am in now.
Also miui. I didn't give it a fair chance never tried miui before. I hope it gets ported beyond miui.
Can't wait for it that's for sure
Wait, is this ICS? lol?

Working terrific so far. Looks absolutely identical to regular miui. Except keyboard which is a tiny bit smaller I believe. Also noticibly faster in general. I do recommend it from my experience so far.
been running ICS build since it's availability and everything has been smooth and stable. it "feels" faster than any other MIUI build i've used, but could just be placebo effect unless ICS' hardware acceleration is really working.
i even had wifi calling working a couple times, but this has not been consistent. sometimes it worked and other times i had the "invalid sim" error.
can't really comment on battery life as i'm still re-calibrating.
the only issue i've run into is a Market FC only when i try to swipe through the screenshots for apps...weird.
other than the issue listed above, this rom has been great and error free for me.
tried it out.... hated the Ui would much prefer weapon x ui with ics improvements and toggles going back to weaponx 2.8.
Been using the ICS build. No crazy real world speeds were felt by me. Only going to keep running this build if the battery life is better than the regular one.
Missing extended power menu. Might be missing gps.config fix & APN fix files in this ICS build.
Looks & feels the same as any other MIUI Whitehawkx has ported over.
Installed just now...works great and benchmarks return 2700+. Also, I was having terrible problems with Youtube before with any other MIUI version (very, very, very, verrrrrry slow loading). Now Youtube is faster to load than when it was with Gingerbread.
THANK YOU Whitehawkx!

I've been having problem with galnet video app. It sends me to the market to download an app. When I tried to install the app it gives me an error. Anyone else has the same problem?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I had that happen but only because miui considered it a favorite app and wanted you to submit a rating.
That's the only thing I found impressive was the media player, galnet player. I'd love to see it in cm7 or in a market.
Playing with miui on my G2 just to get a feel for it. Would have moved it to g2x but I need T-Mobile wifi to work

These ICS framework MIUI ROMs are a disgrace to the name of MIUI, its not official MIUI ICS so really, why bother making such crap kangs?

The best ROM for my mom

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work

IM BACK!!!! <3

haha so i upgraded to the GS 2 about 4 months ago, but now i got an iphone 4 and gave the S2 to my dad, now i got my GS4G back <3 and now im going to flash like crazy whats new and what are the best roms? #Raver

You can try Raver's latest MIUI alpha. Wifi/4G and notification sounds work so if you do a lot of texting and just browsing it'll work fine for you, though at the moment call ringtones don't work. I don't really care since I mainly just text anyway.
I'm on airFluips AOSP rom but ill flash ravers tomorrow!

Zeus

Just wanted to give props to all that worked on the ROM. I flashed it a couple weeks ago on my Samsung Infuse and its silky smooth. I ran S7 forever because it was so smooth and was reluctant to switch but its worked out great.
Well done...
I think Zeus will be my first non stock rooted rom I try. Then maybe the R3volution sounds interesting.

The only thing bothering me about Zeus ROM Build 6 are the following --
Without Go Launcher Ex, I cannot edit my apps down in bottom of the home screen. Also, whenever I use a web page bookmarked in the Samsung Web Browser, the Bookmarks to SD program automatically reverses the order the bookmarks are in.
Other than those things, Zeus ROM Build 6 works fine.

You can edit the bottom 3 apps(you cannot change home/application button) by go into application, hit menu, press view type, select customizable grid, then hit menu again, press edit, Change the bottom apps, go to menu again and press save.

Dont quit on Zeus... Best Rom Ever!!!
I had Zeus v5.2 for more than a month and just noticed that v6 is out. I just updated and it looks and runs amazingly well, better than 5.2 in my opinion. Thank you for building it! I cannot wait to see how long my battery lasts with the latest version.
I've just installed Zeus as my first cook rom. Everything is really nice. Except a small bug of glass lock screen took me hours to find out. But I enjoyed it. Thank you Dman
Zues
Thanks too all that worked on Zues! You guys are the best! I like R3V too but don't like black and white. Oh well, Zues is the boss!
Also, when my phone load up, is there anyway to fix the lockscreen that shows up first? Thanks for any assistance.

What do you run on YOUR Sgs4g? And why?

First off I have the Canadian T959W....I have tried most ICS roms & have gone with RemICS-UX...(hooked on TWRP) FB's new kg4 padded modem, as well as the proton ICS kernel(to control those annoying capacitive lights).
Though my model has the basic hardware of the V there are issues with some roms.
Looking forward to running cm10 or Slim bean as a daily driver when hotspot fixed
Thanks to all the devs still hanging in on this one,this phone is just fun,soft bricks and bad flashes, it just stays alive

JB for me
I use CyanogenMod 10 as my daily driver. I really like the Google experience, as it just seems so sleek and fancy, for lack of a better word. Also, I do not use hotspot nor the videorecorder, so I am able to use this as a daily driver on my phone. Great work done by the devs to keep this idea alive!
I run Pandora,TV portal,boat browser,YouTube,Facebook,and about 20 more apps on my phone.....why?...becuz i use them on a regular basis.
I run several news apps, a sports app, xda app , TuneIn radio, YouTube, Voodoo sound, Video Trimmer, MX Video player, IMDB, Whatsapp, iGAG, Dropbox, Airdroid, TubeMate, eBay, You are your own gym, Titanium backup, fast charge, histrory eraser, Swiss army knife, Pocket (paswords container), unit converter, Documents to Go, Barcode reader, CamScanner, PicPaint, How to iron, Waze, Oruxmap, Modern Combat 2, NOVA 2, 9MM, BlockBreaker, NBA JAM, Football kick, Temple Run, Racing Moto, Skater boy, Taki lite, Copycat, Cut the rope, Draw free, Song Pop, several trivia apps, Several buying apps, several health apps, Touchdown for android (Exchange mail), exDialer, Skype, Facebook. Probably forgot some.
I use them all, except for the games I use only when bored.

I went from froyo to gb, tried stock, rooted stocked, barebones, valhalla and they all suck, reboots, gps issues, freezes, etc. went to ics and the battery life is just terrible, regardless of the rom or kernel, fix, shot, its unacceptable for daily use, then tried jb, but it lacks gps, thats terrible. I just went back to froyo, rooted and its decent. I guess that due to this phone only released to tmobile there are not many devs to put a decent rom together, I m now waiting for the contract to end to switch to att and get the iphone. Screw samsung and google, no fricking support or updates for a 2 year old product....laim.
