[Q] Best firmware for SGS

Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.

No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.

I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.

Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Thanks..
Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..

Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.

[Q] Totally Newbie Please new some help

Hello guys,
I am reading about flashing,rooting, installing cROMS, and so many things in this forum. Frankly speaking i am totally confused!
Currently I am using Stock rom of samsung , I am on 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Code:
PDA:I9003DDKP2
Phone: I9003DDKP4
CSC: I9003ODDKPH
earlier My phone was on Froyo, when I upgraded using KIES to 2.3.6 my phone has became smoother, but I don't know what is issue with battery life.
In 1 hour time span on GPRS+Display ON+surfing it drains like 10% + battery.
I tried battery calibration. I have never factory reset phone yet. I used an app called battery calibrator from market.
I drained my whole battery and recharged it to 100% .. and so on.. but still I am facing same issue.
I have root my galaxy SL i9003 using DoomLord's tool kit.
Actually now I want to try some other cROMs , Firmwares. Wherever I am having a look at any cROM thread I find pre-requisite as some other base ROMs.
Now can anybody tell me how do I install any other cROM compatible with the above build. I am really newbie when it comes to flashing and all. So please can anyone of you help me and let me understand what I should do to install some other ROM, and I am downloading GalaxySL DDKP2 stock rom, so if any problem occurs how do I reflash with original stock rom?
Some guidance is really appreciated.
I am totally
Please help me out

Try crom poseidon and uc kernel. You have to follow this. Xxkpe-xxkpq-uc kernel-poseidon rom. Battery calibration is a myth. Most mods now are based on xxkpq so I advice you to have an xxkpq based crom.
I am having 2+ days of battery life with uc kernel and poseidon.

Thanks for reply
@earldroid thank you for reply. Another thing i want to ask if I want to go back to original Stock ROM then how do I do it?

yes, i recommend to check cm 10, cm 10.1, pa 3.68, pac man good luck
edit: this roms are based on android jellybean 4.1,4.2 depend of version, tab will works smoother but not all options are working, u can read about this in threads.

Thank you. This is my second tablet. I had one (lepan) a year ago, but had to get raid of it. My phones were( and is) HTC and I am familiar with android kitchen. I am not sure if the kitchen support this device. I read that scary stories about the ICS brick and I did run the app to test my tab. It does have that brick bug. I do not think that I will "mess" with this tab. It is working good so far. Thanks.

[Q] i cant seem to find a Rom for p6200

Hi guys,
This is my first post in xda...
I recently updated my p6200 to android 4.1.2 using odin and then rooted it. Now i want a custom rom (preferably cm10 or 10.1) so i have been searching for threads like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842090
But, the doenload link doesnt see to work..!!!
I know this is kinda stupid but after 3 days of searching for a single link this is my only option so a sincere request to the mods to please not delete this thread..
Also i have noval launcher as my stock and i deleted touchwiz launcher. Now i dont think that matters but just in case ( im a noob to android hacking )

What are you trying to achieve? The stock based ROMs are much more stable than the CM ROMs. There's no need or use to delete things and if you delete too much you will start to cause problems.

I am not aware of any fully functional CM based or other custom ROMs for the P62xx series. The is a CM11 ROM that is a work in progress on the forum. I would install the latest stock 4.1.2 , root and then install a third party launcher , lock screen and other items to make it look the way I want. That will get you a stable, basically custom ROM. I think its unlikely that a stable CM11 will ever appear unless Samsung releases a stock 4.4 from which to build on and CM 10 is now outdated with no developers to support it.

Have you tried the development section.. There are alot of custom roms there.. PAC, Omni to name a few..

Try the Omni4.4.2 it is still in development but it works great and having KitKat on this Tablets is awesome

Guys pardon for my ignorance(im new to this upgrading/flashing thing) but how do you install custom roms?
I'm considering it an option because after i flashed my p6200 with the new jellybean rom via odin, my tablet works until it got battery drained and now stuck on "boot-loop", I've done the CWM wipe/reset data thing but still stuck in that loading screen, I also did try reflashing it with the same jelly bean firmware but still stuck.. I'm thinking installing a custom rom might make it work again..
or if you do have the old honeycomb stock rom for P6200 DXKL2 firmware that i could use via odin.

does it work for you?
I've downloaded this man.. copied it to my sdcard and then installed it through CWM recovery, now I get to the part where I had to choose stuff, like pre-installment settings like whether to choose "wipe user data" and such, and then install "samsung exclusive?" or "default install" or "remove bloatware", so there after choosing my options it then goes to this page with texts and the android robot at the background, it was so fast that I didn't even get to read what is written, i remember only "wipe?" or sort of, it goes for like a second and then restart back to the
"samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus" loading screen, it's already been a while and it's still stuck in there, I wonder if that is normal, or again like any other stock rom i've flashed with using (odin method) this is stuck and going nowhere?
help! i wanted to post this at the development thread of this certain rom, but Im not allowed due to having few posts i guess?
and by the way, could someone share a ".pit" file for the p6200, i think it might be helpful for making this tab work again, thanks!

does anyone have an official debloated 2.3.6

Hello, i'm looking for an official debloated 2.3.6 firmware for the sgs4g..
I was wondering if anyone has it? I know there is a debloat zip creator, but that doesn't work through the stock recovery...
I don't want the 2.3.6 with kc1 because that creates a bug with the sdcard constantly having to be read....
Thanks for you help

Another alternative is to install the Blastoff Kernel @bhundven made, you can grab it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828171
It will give you root on your rom which will allow you to use my debloater so you can pick exactly which apps you want to remove. It will also give you the option of upgrading to a more recent ROM. I would actually recommend this seeing that there are a lot of problems with running 2 year old software and I feel that the current batch of kit kat roms available are at a state that you can use them as daily drivers with no major issues.
