Darkys ROM Version 9.1 Extreme Edition

It doesn’t cease to amaze me what a prolific ROM Developer Darky is.

A GREAT benefit of running a custom ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S is how often updates are released.  If you have a phone with stock firmware, you could consider yourself lucky if you got 2 worthwhile updates in a whole year.  Run a good custom ROM and you are probably going to get updates monthly.

Darky and his crew seem to update weekly.   The first time I flashed a Darky ROM on my phone was on Dec 20th 2010.   At that time it was Version 6.5.  By Jan 29th 2011, the ROM was already at Version 9.1.

Darky’s ROM Version 9.1 Extreme Edition includes the latest Samsung i9000 firmware JS3, which has a build date of Jan 5th 2011.  It also includes your choice of the latest Voodoo and Speedmod kernels.  I especially like how the newest kernel is already baked into new releases.

I flashed Version 9.1 over the weekend.  It is running very smoothly, and so far battery life seems to have been improved further.

P.S.  I realize many loyal readers have been waiting for the video tuturial showing how to upgrade from stock Froyo firmware.  I thank you for your patience.  I had hoped to have that video out in January but got delayed.  I will do my best to have that out by the end of the week.

Here’s the Version 9.1 video:
