Hello every one , i've bought my galaxy s I9000 International like 1.5 months ago i like it i've been into BATTLES to get the market installed on my sgs but nowdays i notice lagg has grown on my mobile and also battery consumption , i would like someone to guide me to the best lag fix possible for STOCK 2.1 Android
Model:GTi9000
Frimware: 2.1-update1
basband : i9000jxjg2
kernel:2.6.29
Build number: ECLAIR.JPJG8
Notice: that i don't have 3 button combo recovery so if i brick i have no solution
a recommend about power saving apps would be amazing i have like 25 apps running in background and i don't even know what are they
thx every one ( iam a noob , guide me )
also is this going to hardrest my mobile or brick it :/ ??
First thing to do is get the three button recovery patch, available in these forums.
Next do a search, again in here for odin. That will guide you through downloading that app as well as where to download the firmwares.
I did mine the week before last 100% no problems just follow the detailed instructions.

about installing a lag fix
i searched the forums and i read the alot of people got bricked phones , what should i do ? maybe can u send me the instructions you followed ? also what's the best lagfix ?
If 3 button combo is working get yourself (2e) recovery from there install clockwork mod recovery. In clockwork advanced ULK options > ULK options > Lagfix options > choose after you've done ur research.
PS: I use jfs overkill with bind directories
All andriod phones lag to e certain degree, SGS doesnt have it worse.. If you've used an HTC desire and Nexus one they are pretty fairly equal with lag issues.. but it really depends what you have on your phone and what your expectations are.. personally Ive never had lag issues with my SGS but I've tried using lagfixes to see if I notice any improvement and the only noticable area where I noticed a change is when I open my inbox of 7,000 messages.
If your sticking with 2.1 then Im afraid the fixes for you are very minal, consider getting 2.2 and using hardcore's kernel and use the latest EXT2 lagfix or YA-OK's 1.40 and enable all start up tweaks.. between both theres no real world performance difference even if YA-OK is in RFS.

If you dont have 3 button recovery then the thread over at the devs might peak your interest, I just dont know if it works even if theres a 110% tag on it.
All the guides are on the dev thread, they are far better than any guide that anyone can make including the devs them selves.
please help ive got JPC with rombie rom and i have to restart my samsung galaxy s i9000 like every day to to lag and fc.
I've tried several and this is the best for me.
This doesn't want to be in the development thread.....
I always ended up back on the doc's rom after trying others..
Use Voodoo 5 with any froyo rom and the phone will fly. Roms and tweaks are not making big differeces in speed. Only with lagfix you can feel the differnce and one of the easiest and fastest is Voodoo 5.
Any of DocRambone's bare-bones Rom with ULK kernel. All kernel tweaks on, JFS + EXT2 binds no journaling.

CyanogenMod 6.1 BETA2... Fastest ROM and nicest to use, unfortunately takes a huge chunk of functionality away while the ROM developers are cleaning up Samsung's messy programming.
Once it's a Release Candidate stage, I think this will be the way to go. They also might be able to get Gingerbread out faster than Samsung. Here's hoping.
i guess for a normal phone user(not like me or many ppl here), want the phone work as a phone should, go for doc's jpo v8 plus hardcore's k10X kernel with gps fix, you can't be wrong.
usze nany rom, especially doc's 9.01 and then flash the YA-OK kernel.
very stable very fast and smooth.
lagfix EXT4/EXT2 no binds.
you will have at least 2100 quadrant.
In fact I just flashed with KIES froyo, then added root, and clockwork, and then the kernel.
using launcher pro (purchased) I added the DENA v2 theme and it looks very nice.

Hey m8, could you please be more specific which Rom you mean cause I can't find it. A link would be awesome.
Futhermore which laggfix do you mean with that? Is that the voodoo lagfix in the clockworkmod?

Rombie ROM v2
thanks for all your help and time.
This could be a very informative thread but IMHO, it needs to be limited to only what works with some caveats. This should be a thread about what works.
If your ROM is in beta - don't recommend it! If it crashing constantly or throwing up FCs, don't recommend it! If the GPS doesn't work, don't recommend it.
Quadrant scores mean nothing - when you got your phone, it worked but had some lag. Now, with Froyo, lag has virtually been eliminated. Even the ROM dev are saying you don't need a lagfix in many cases as their ROM is so smooth.
There are nothing but ROM junkies in the dev forum; I'm one of them - load it on the phone crash it, load it on the phone crash it! But I didn't do this on my girlfriend's phone because I didn't want her calling me to fix it. There are a lot of people tiring of this and just want it to work. I admit the wow factor is wearing off for me. I'm leaning towards finding what works but I need some adrenalin... Some caveats?
1) Phone - no crashing/restarting daily
2) FC - limited; these will always happen occassionally our computers
3) GPS - good signal and lock
Without lagfix, I can recommend:
Doc's rom: v9.0.1_BUJP8 - very smooth, no lag fix required (quadrant 900+)
Modem ZSJPE (Hong Kong release) - very quick to lock on, very accuarate
BTW, our company developes GPS software for golfers always testing this!
My need for speed tells me to test the lagfix. If this thread continues, I'll be back...
Hello there,
Here's my situation: I'm still on Froyo JPY stock (unrooted) and have been reading extensively in this forums for quite a long time now.
I have various issues with my current configuration, the most prominent being fast battery drain (my phone has never lasted more than approx. 18hours), slow gps fix, occasional crashes and sometimes slow responses. Apart from that I dig the idea of a different lock-screen, VoodooSound for better audio recording quality while shooting videos at concerts, nice themes etc. etc.
Now I've looked into Virnik0's step-by-step guide and this sounds all very understandable and should give me a rooted 2.3.3 stock with SuperCurio's VoodooKernel (thank you in advance for such a clear guide).
However I'm still hesitating to upgrade for various reasons, and I hope someone can clear up some of these for me and might give me their general opinion.
1. Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, I feel like a full wipe would be necessary (or nicer and cleaner), am I right? How would I go about that before the update? (If I wait until the Kies Update, will this wipe my phone automatically?)
2. With the update, will I get the SamsungApps again with 2.3.3 that came with my phone on Froyo?
3. What's up with the issues in the 2.3.3 version, can they be fixed without too much understanding of mounting and rootexplorer etc.? (You read so much about issues like Swype, GoogleMaps, Battery Drain etc. It's hard to decide whether the new version will meet my needs or make things worse)
Now as an alternative, do you guys think flashing a custom Kernel like Voodoo (Froyo Versions) togehter with a less battery draining modem would already solve some, or all of my issues?
I am just quite confused with all the options and new information everyday and I don't want to mess up anything. This being said, I can easily access both Recovery and Download Mode with the 3-button combos (kind of an intermediate newbie here, i guess )
Well all opinions and answers are very much appreciated.
Kind regards.
Point one gingerbread is BETA .
Point two using the unofficial methods may brick your phone and will certainly void warranty .
Point three using unofficial roms means kies no longer updates .
Point four the Samsung apps you get are in the main the same .
Point four the majority of reported bugs are either bad flash or idiot using the phone .
Your choice to proceed .
Personal route would be to follow Virnik0's step-by-step guide. But stop before Installing Darky rom .
Instead go to Rom Kitchen and build a rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Stock with WIPE Kernel Chainfires .and all other apps available .
when thats done install CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS
Followed by if required XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock
jje
Thanks for your swift reply, it is much appreciated.
Just for my understanding: The procedure you recommend sounds a little "double" to me:
If I follow Virnik0's guide until step 20 (right before Darky ROM), my phone has already been flashed with stock firmware including bootloaders + CFRoot Kernel + VoodooKernel (supercurio).
After that you mean go to ROM Kitchen (the new Beta I suppose?) and stock again this time with WIPE and Chainfire's Kernel. After that again with CFRoot Kernel?
I am confused. What is the purpose of this. Besides that, can you point me to the XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
Not if its already flashed you dont need them just pick what you want .
I probably stopped as soon as i had 2.3 installed and then went rom kitchen etc .
Just stop before the post that says install Darky rom and you should be fine .
XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
You will have to search i have deleted all my SGS 1 links .
jje
I think the point he was trying to make was that you can build a rom to suit your needs in the kitchen. If u want sammy apps you can include them, if u don't you don't have to.there are many custom roms out there too. alot off which strip out the crap from samsung. I personally use debusrom but this does not have samsung apps. it does however have the aosp lockscreens. Its all down to what you want. Which is why the kitchen may be a better option for you, right down to the modem you wish to use.

oh man ur always here to answer people's quesion u got thanks from me
now commenting on the original post, the only reason for me stay away from the gb roms is the call recording function which is unavailable yet in gb roms (apart from miui which is awesome but unstable according my experience )
MIUI is not unstable, it just has a few minor bugs, biggest one being battery drain. everything works as it should do, ive been using it since rc3 and i aint going back..... ever lol

wat about the compass+accelerometre+occasional restarts+ laggy 3g+imei issues ?
So, I have a SGS I9000t and am currently very frustrated with the official firmware 2.2.1, since some apps are having terrible issues. Whats worse is that lots of my programs are having constant crashes. My available ram is always getting capped, and i have to uninstall some programs that add functionality that while unnecessary they're nice to have.
Now I have been thinking, what to do? I hear I could flash my device. Doing so would improve its performance, even update to gingerbread. So now i have some questions. I bought this phone and recklessly installed darky's rom. It worked, but without 3g. Other than that, it was pretty amazing. I kept screwing around with it trying to fix 3g and finally bricked it. Took it in for warranty and got a new one.
I dont want to repeat the same mistakes, so this time i want to be extra careful.
Is there a way to do a complete backup? Like every single piece of data in ALL of my phone's memory backup. In case this flash goes wrong, I can just make it work just as it was before?
Is there a way to try roms before flashing? Like just load a rom on top of another rom without altering the current rom.
I would like to evade roms with 2.2.1 firmware, because of the problems mentioned before, so whats the best, non 2.2.1 rom available? Most stable, just plain best.
Since y phone is a i9000t my modem seems to have some problems when flashing, so here are the details of my phone: Model GT-I9000T // FW Ver 2.2.1 // Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 // Build FROYO.UBJP9
Im sorry if this is a lot of info, i just want to do this right. If I flash my phone its for better funcionality, not to get worse. Thanks for your time, if youve read this far. Hopefully you can help me out.
You are asking to be spoon fed information that is out there already!
1st rule of forum is look before you ask, people will help you if you make the effort, but you have to make the effort first. Sorry if this is harsh, so as a pointer, read the main q&a first as a starter

Ahh yes. Ive read a lot actually. Not the basic stuff though. I may have to sit down and read up.
One quick question though, Im sure its not in the FAQ.
I have been dealing with my phone and I see now that many of the problems im having are created by the apps themselves. Will changing my rom actually help greatly? Is 2.3.3 recomemded?
Sent from my GT-I9000T using XDA App
samsung use rfs file system that decays over time, hence people tend to lagfix to cure this, ie. Convert to ext4, this is done through a kernel tweak, you need to start reading and learning, im sorry but I wont do your homework for you!
Sent from gt i9000 insanity 8.5/fugumod
Your problems are not due to 2.2.1 Its the best non GB rom .
Your first step is factory reset .
Second check Kies for an update .
Third step would be to remove these problem apps .
But i just spotted the problem at some stage you installed a darkys rom
Known killer of phones ..
Total removal is flash stock froyo 2.2 rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje
I flashed darkys rom but traded that phone for a new one. So I have a fresh factory 2.2.1 and its working very well. My biggest problem is the bug with programs resetting/not saving settings because the old data stays after uninstalling. Also the rom runs great, what im looking for is better compatibility on perhaps another rom. But you say its as good as it gets so I may be staying with this rom.
Edit; Also, I must add that Kies cannot update my device, because my service provider has my device locked on that firmware. Now what you suggest is flashing to 2.2, then updating to a stock gingerbread rom through Kies? Should'nt I just flash GB and get it over with?

Yeah, ODIN is your friend.
Well, now that I have a couple of people here, I will ask, which if these two roms would be better to install?
Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock Samsung or
Juwe's Smart Edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964672
I like how juwes sounds, but it says something that bothers me, and that is, that it has no bugs, and that is an extremely ignorant claim, since the gingerbread release will always have bugs, no piece of software is perfect, ever. That said, it could be much better than samsungs, so help me out on this one. Thanks.

If you go around looking for a problem, you are most likely to find one. This applies to more than just phone firmwares. Like you said, no system is truly perfect... With that said, I would recommend you try a custom ROM over any stock one... And Juwe's ROM is a pretty trusted one on this board... so sure, go ahead and try it!
I ended up flashing a new kernel. Speed mod or something. It worked amaizingly well. Sadly I had already bought voodoo plus, and i wont be needing that anymore. Im really pleased with my phone now. Thanks to everyone for your advice.

I will flash haha. But I backed up all of my data before. In case anything goes wrong. Thanks for the advice though

I'd say that the voodoo plus app still will be quite useful as it works its magic regardless of kernel. You might find yourself on a standard kernel one day, and then you will still be able to enjoy the improvements of voodoo.

This is a known problem, i had it happen to me several times on froyo firmwares. Solution is to go into settings, applications, then clear data and cache of the problem program, then uninstall it, and go into /data and /dbdata/ and find any data the program has left behind and delete it. Reinstall the app from the market, and the problem should be gone. Havent had it crop up in gingerbread yet.

I have many lag issues, wifi wont always auto connect and still unsure of the gps. I come from the Acer Liquid camp over at android.modaco. I have flashed all sorts of roms, none ever worked perfectly. Now that being said my stock Cappy is buggy so I do understand.
So my question is, are the Roms that much better than stock and will I see some of my issues resolved or will I just have new issues?
This community seems very knowledgeable. So I am sure I will get many great answers. Is there anyone who regrets flashing a rom? If so why?(forgot to make backup, some app does not work properly, bricked your phone...etc) I know these people will not be the norm but I would just like any feedback before I jump in.
Thanks
I will never go back to stock again. plain and simple. Custom ROMS are so much more efficient than stock. Faster, use less battery, more features... using the phone the way it was intended. Once you do it, you will neer look back.
The Dev community for the Captivate is awesome. I have seen almost nothing but fixed issues when flashing to a custom ROM. I've got the I897 and the custom ROMs have increased battery life, reduced crashes, fixed gps (although this seems to be hit or miss among users as to how effective the fix is), better/ quicker wifi connections. The interface seems much smother on many ROMs too. All this and more features. I'm sold. A word of caution though. The more mature ROMs will have fewer problems. Check out the last few pages of the DEV threads for anouncements of fixes. When I've seen these in the threads, the ROMs seem to work much better than the new releases. Pretty much read the threads and see if they've got the bugs worked out yet, Happy Flashing.
Cheers

Start with cognition, its the perfect rom to pop your cherry. Start with 4.5.3 (Froyo), its the closest to stock and will be quite familiar. From there you can try some other custom themed roms. The Froyo roms are easiest to install, just place that update.zip file on your sd card along with the rom zip file, then enter recovery and flash away. Good luck
For Roms it you who decide which you liked the most, there is nothing like the best. For One A will the best but fot other A will be the worst. There are many good roms here try and decide yourself

That's the fun part, flashing then to find out which one you like the most.
I would say start with a froyo rom. They are very easy, straightforward to flash. After you are comfortable with those, move up to GB. I would also recommend buying Titanium Backup. It makes setting your phone up after a flash alot easier.

If u wanna stay with stock 2.2, download OCLF from the market and that should fix your lag issues. Me...personally, I rather flash a 2.3 rom. I'm usin Dlev's and oh boy, my phone is a BEAST This is "MY" opinion. Good luck!!!
Haven't pulled the trigger yet..... MIUI look s nice. Still must do more research. Thanks for the info. Tried oclf.... Made quadrant better but no actual speed fix
Fired up a few roms....they are wicked fast! Cool as ice..lol. They all had more bugs than stock. Lucky there is a post to go back to rogers 22. They are fun and all but i need fully working rom. i cannot wait until there is a bug free gingerbread rom. I must note i only tried gingerbread. I will stay involved reading the posts but stock is where i will be for a while. Thank you all devs!

I agree with Toad, Cognition 4.5.3 is a great starting point for flashing. Very simple to flash, very similar to stock's GUI, one of the most stable (if not the most stable) ROMs I've ever tried, and has many many good features and enhancements.
Here's the link to the Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964583
And yes, Gingerbread ROMs are abit too recent still, therefore you are likely to encounter bugs (and they are STILL a lot better than Stock), so I recommend you poke into those later.
I tried MIUI and it is a very nice and full-featured ROM, so I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Cheers and have fun!
I know how to backup with titanium...i,m so smrt. i have backed up flashed roms with nandroid on my acer liquid e. My only question...part 2.... if you will, is how to back up your stock out of the box rom? If you back it up, re install it can you update it?...i.e. if gingi ever gets released.
