A Stable ROM for SGS4G? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I am moving from Valhalla ROM and w'd like to ask for an expert opinion... Which one of the ROMs is 100% stable and bug free at the moment?

Not even stock GB is bug free. Here's a list of custom roms for you though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs

This question makes sense to me after flashing ROM's for different model phones. Though I will say our Dev's to a fantastic job explaining the ROM's in the OP and keeping the OP's detailed and up-to-date compared to the other forums I've used.
This is - in my opinion - the ROM with the least potential for issues, amazing battery life with great performance:

Even the GB ROMs (and especially the stock one) weren't "rock stable" by any stretch.
Most of the ICS ROMs that I have looked at are using the TeamAcid kernel. The stability of those are all going to be about the same as the changes tend to be in what is included or not, and the UI theming. Pick your flavor. I have been using AOKP for about a month now as a daily driver and find it more stable than the GB ROMs, the way I use my phone.
I personally prefer the KG4 modem over the KJ6 modem as it handles long SMS messages

sorry, too bad you cant flash anything. It is too unstable. Just Kidding LOL/
I'd flash a GB rom before ICBINB was made, because the reduced slim roms seem to be unstable for me. I'd stay on valhalla

[Q] Advice

I need advice on which build to download of ICS? I had the original Cyanogenmod9 but the music and camera features were too buggy. I am having trouble finding the updated build for it. I also need the latest GAPP files as well. Can you someone help me out?
There's a few different threads on this. You need to READ, your previous two posts in this forum were useless as well, had you read then you wouldn't have needed to post.
There's plenty out there, but one that I don't recommend for now is EaglesBlood. It's a great first build, but it still has its bugs.

Why is that? Eaglesblood was running fine for me. Had it for 3 days but I needed better battery life so I went back to cm7

Some recommendations
You can find a link to the 2/15 ics gapps in this thread:
x0xHELLx0x's ROM Guide - G2X tweaks / mods / apps
On the ICS ROM's I recommend Hellfire Sandwich v1.2. Have been using this as a daily driver for a little while and no problems. Look here:
HellFire Sandwich v 1.2 p999 4.03(Facebook Sync )22512
One other suggestion, please learn to to use the search functions. The links above are very easy to find.
PartzMan2
Phone: rooted G2x
ROM: Hellfire Phoenix v1.2
OC: 1200Mhz

Having tried it, I also share this sentiment.
Personally staying on a gb rom until a source gets released.

Ya same here, loving the hard work our devs put out to make ics more stable every day. But I just can't get rid of this Hellfire Phoenix rom, its been an unforgettably stable (perfect) rom since the beginning.
Really greatful to doniccq too since he taught xohellox to dev for the g2x, and his eaglesblood rom is equally as great.

[Q] Best Custom Rom?

Hey guys!! I was thinking of which cutom ROM to flash to. I am now currently on stock DXKP9. I need a ROM that is bug free unlike CM9 or MIUI with pretty major bugs although there are not much bugs. How about titanium ROM? I heard its on 4.0.4 and does not have bugs? I am thinking on whether to flash that or to flash to Poseidon DXKP9 Extreme. Thx!
Titanium is not 4.0 ....its just made t show 4.0 ...its a gb based ....I think u should install roms to see what is there to ur liking....most gb roms are bug free;so u can try any of those roms

Which one do you prefer?
When I was in gb I tried almost all roms;I think try titanium or Poseidon whichever cause I think they are the two roms without many bugs....android revolution by krazzzy was also great...I think u should flash and be on the from then decide cause choices vary from person to person

MIUI is cool too.
Infinite themes! Literally
Best looking ROM ever!
You will fall in love with the LockScreens.
But again, it's not bug-free.
Thx all! I need a bug free ROM for daily use. Thx!
MIUI v10.5
Go for MIUI v10.5. There are a few bugs, yes, but no show stoppers. It can be used on a daily basis. Fantastic stability, smoothness and visually very appealing. Try it once, and all other UIs start looking half baked and ugly.
Treat yourself to eye candy, and not eye sore ROMs.

Looking for sleek stable rom

Hey guys, im .....lucky? enough to have gotten 2.3.6 on my replacement phone and upgraded wifes infuse to to 2.3.6....its horrible....looking for a stable sleek rom to go to from here. Now id love a jb rom with all the bells and whistles but reading up on it its still being mafe which i understand. But with 4 kids work and in the army times limited to flash test glash test ect. Just curious on yall veiws of the many roms i see foating around.
Currently running gb 2.3.6 official obtained from samsung kies.
Looking for a sleek, quick, stable, and eye candy is always amazing to have but gps/bt/stability is the main points. wife gets lost in the house sometimes :/ thanks and dont hit me woth a newb stick i checked before posting but on this horrible gb. Typing this has been a hassle

Many ICS roms are pretty stable and practically everything works.
I would suggest you look into uni-yuma-porn and remICS-UX .. those are my faves.
CM10 is absolutely amazing of course.. you can't beat the jelly beans
Gps works althought it causes a bit of lag when used, which would be a problem if you use it often. It's up to you really, what best fits your personal use

For a rock solid GB Rom you can't go wrong with Emancipation. ICS Yuma-uni-Porn is nice. Both have solid working BT/GPS/Wi-fi

I don't think it matters...but don't hold me to that one issue you may have come across is rainbow recovery (discoloration or static like lines) which indicates you need GB boot loaders. But since you got official GB through Samsung Kies you should already have them (that's how I got mine)...Buuttttt!! Do you have root?

My last phone was rooted ( on froyo from super one click ) but ive been reading that doesnt work well with gb. Any tips on easy rooter?

If that and superoneclick don't work for you, you may have to flash a pack through Odin that will give you root + cwm

Thanks. Could you provide links for getting the ROMS you recommend? When I go to the Cyanogen site, for example, they don't list the Infuse as a supported phone. So which one do you use to get the CM10?
Looking at the uni-yuma-porn it says to flash the Rom, then flash the GAPPS, but no clue on what GAPPS is or how to flash it.
You won't find it up in the cyanogenmod site. Our phone is not supported officially by them, but it has been developed unofficially. It works just as well as those official devices since it is build from the same repo.
All roms I mentioned are found right here on xda under infuse android development.
Gapps stands for google apps which includes the play store and many other apps such as the setup when you first boot your phone. They are often linked in every Rom that requires you flash them.

I believe the "flash gapps" is just the OP not updated. The early builds of uniporn the gapps had to be flashed separately but I believe they are included now

Just checking up on what everything is.
1. Cyanogen is an android custom firmware. -
2. aokp is an android custom rom base
3. porting simply changing the coding to fit from a similiar device to another
4. All the gb/ics/jb custom.roms.mainly run off altered and tailored versions of these 2.
5. odin used to flash and get a recovery in case of bricking.
6. clockworkmod (cwm) similar used for recovery.
So in essence from base of cyan firmware and aokp rom people make alterations and build platforms ex changing kernels, drivers, and cosmetics.
Hummm.... Believe im getting it..correct me if im wrong

Last time just tried MIUI and I can´t get the UI of ICS, Don´t remember what kind of version tired of MIUI though
Roms with aroma installers give you more options for you to customize the installation. Some frequent options are Gapps, kernels, additional apps and whatever the Chef decides to include.

What is the most stable and complete JB rom?

All I want is a very stable rom that stays true to android and doesn't break any features. Sorry if this is a basic question.
Quick answer is nine of the JB roms are as stable as the ICS ones, and the most stable are TW roms. You have to try out and decide for yourself I guess.
I like paranoid android.
All JB roms have issues. In waiting until CM10 fix the low audio in video record issue then it would be my daily driver.

+1. I am for the Paranoid Android as well. There are some "very minor' nuances but overall its a rock solid ROM. In some other thread i reported that I needed to settle down on a ROM since i was jumping around too much with flashing different ones. This is the one I settled with.

Are you running a TW rom? if so which one ?

Going back to stock

What rom should i use? Stick with the regular GB or flash eaither barebones or valhala black?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
If you're going back to stock, well there is one stock GB ROM, and the rest are not stock.
Plenty of threads here discussing the Gingerbread alternatives to stock Gingerbread. They've mainly been out for over a year, and rehashing the same information in another thread is unlikely to gain you any more insight than reading what has already been said.
Ahh, i just made the thread quick, should have said which rom, barebones or valhala, as ive read the threads on them im still unfamiliar with them, and are they based off stock gb?

Pretty much, yes. I would say a notable exception is Team Acid CM7 and its derivatives, which I believe is built from source.
There is a reasonable and mainly up-to-date overview of available SGS4G ROMs on the Wiki.
