Ya, Opera 11 is buttery smooth and it's fitting my requirements so nicely now, superb multi-tabbing plus excellent UI.

Posted on FB just to pull the legs of my iPhone friends..

Same here, I don't game at all, but I do Tweetdeck, Gmail, Gtalk, Whatsapp and browse the web a lot, and so far my phone has not slowed down on me yet after DamianGTO's ultimate kernel..

The 'best' is very subjective, depends on your needs..

Agreed, Hardcore errs on the side of caution with his speedmod kernel. He aims for stability first and functionality second, I think. Used it for months, updating to latest versions regularly with no issues at all. Also, I think kernel is made in SG (he works there, no?) but Hardcore himself was made in MY.

DamianGTO's ultimate kernel is for those who like an easy way to do all-ext2 filesystem scheme plus experiment around with CPU undervolting and overclocking via CWM. Have only started using this kernel after moving to Simply ROM Sweethoney, and I am undervolting but not really daring to overclock.

Honestly speaking, with my phone's current snappiness, I don't need any extra performance. My SGS is more than fast (and stable) enough for my needs with ext2-all. Of course, the 2700mAh battery does also help soothe any fears of the phone running out of juice while I am out of the house.

Also, I hope you have already rooted your phone - MarketEnabler and MarketAccess both can work only on rooted phones.

Seems that JVK is still beta 2.3.x for SGS, not the final release from Samsung. I spied the tweets below..

Opera Mini is on proxied connection, I think. Opera Mobile, not.

Added on March 29, 2011, 7:39 amThe momax 2700mAh battery doesn't give me 2 days of battery life anymore, but it's because I use my phone even more nowadays.. Good thing is not worrying about how much juice I have left everytime.

My phone leaves the charger at 7:30am every weekday and I get back home about 10-11pm with about 30% of juice left (as opposed to 15% or less with my stock battery).

Not sure about you guys, but XXJVK stock ROM + CF-Root kernel + ext4 filesystem is the first stock ROM experience that has been speedy and smooth for me..

Great batt life too, but then again, I have a larger battery in the phone..

Here you go - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

Anyway, while I do like ext2 for its speed, I prefer ext4 for safety. It's the same filesystem I use on my home computers (running Ubuntu).

If you checked out my signature, you'd see that I am using a 2700mAh battery with custom back cover..

No la, bro. I am using Samsung stock ROM currently, the Gingerbread 2.3.3 one, JVK. So I have installed chainfire's CF-Root kernel which gives not only root access to the phone, but also provides a CWM app, a Tweak app plus the ability to install the EXT4 app to convert my phone's filesystems.

So far my experience has been very smooth, very little lag if any plus apps seem to run pretty stable.

Will stay with stock until SweetHoney is no longer RC and hopefully by then Samsung would've released the source code for 2.3.3 and we'll start seeing more in-depth kernel enhancements from the xda-developers experts. I miss the call recording, the voodoo sound enhancements and also a few other neat things from custom kernels.

You're welcome. Yes, there are 2 leaked Samsung stock ROMs with GB, 2.3.2 (JV1) and 2.3.3 (JVK). They were not officially announced by Samsung or available via Samsung's app, Kies, as far as I know. Can't be sure since I've never installed or used Kies before.

ROMs (leaked and some official versions) are at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm

CF-Root ext4 Manager only supports CF-Root kernels and I think only on Gingerbread, not Froyo. However, most of the other Froyo and GB custom kernels normally have their own ext2 or ext4 conversion methods.

Yep.. The only time I had Asian ROM on my phone was when I initially bought it.

No la.. When I bought my phone in mid 2010, it was JF4 (Eclair Asia). Since then I've never bothered to use Asian ROMs because they were almost always slower to leak than the European ones..

Flashed the JVK with bootloader ('spl') - no issues so far. Anyway, to answer your question, yes, it's always risky to flash any ROM on our SGS.

You don't know what JVK is and you asked earlier if it was risky to install JVK.. Weird..

Not sure, I got my files and procedure from http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-insta...s-instructions/

I am already enjoying officially released gingerbread, albeit the Euro version which is just a good if not better than any Asian ROM..

Bugs? What bugs have you experienced?

JVB feels the same as JVK to me, bugs-wise. About the only bug I sometimes experience is that I am getting the 'unsupported resolution' when I record 720p videos longer than 1 min or so with my phone. Not sure if it's due to the ROM or due to the CF-Root modified kernel that I am using to root and lagfix the phone.

Now that GB source code is out, I hope the kernel champions will start releasing their custom kernels.
