Hi Everyone,
I recently bought the Galaxy S. I read about its processor and it beong one of the fastest one around, thought i would be getting a healthy dose of speed. But it has hardly been that. I recently upgraded to the Froyo (JP6). After that, the applications lag, the phone hangs abruptly and other such painful stuff. Please let.me know how to get to the bottom of this. I mean... Where do I start off..??

Go and get XXJPY, means Froyo 2.2.1
To get it running fast, update to a XXJPY custom ROM and enable a lagfix. And believe me, it's worth to take you time to read stickies. You'll become a bretty much educated adcanced Android user and you are able to do the right things in certain difficult situations.
Do a Factory reset and clear the cache from recovery.
OR
If that does not work then flash a speed kerner.

All gingerbread roms are highly alpha| beta, my advise is to stay away from them, and wait for the official release (couple of days/weeks)

I would agree...I am sure the current Gingerbread based ROMs are great, but they are based on leaked versions of beta ROMs. Unless you really know what you are doing or love the risks of the bleeding edge, I would stay away from them.
All signs are pointing to official Gingerbread firmware for the i9000 hitting Europe in the next two weeks. Once that is freely available, I figure the devs here will have fresh ROMS based on Samsung tested, properly released code out within hours/days...not so long to wait.

I just flashed this rom few days back and it's working like......knife goes on butter...
benefits:
1. It's 2.3.3
2. very smooth UI
3. longer battery life & lots more
Gingerbread launcher is not there but I installed one from market (check the one from Eugene373)....all together it's cool & I did not face any issues yet!!!
Flashed my few days old Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.3 rom. So far, everything work without any problem.
Since there is now stable releases of gingerbread, are there any custom roms for it? i cant find any :/
Are there any kernels for gingerbread also?
You can try ColdMod Rom... its beautiful with TW 4.0 which works nicely with good battery life... i have no complains abt it and im using 2.1 improvent of ColdMod

I switched from Darky RC 5.3 to Juwes 4.2 cause Darky is little bit unstable for now. Juwe seems pretty fast and compatible.
I was using darky rom so far but now i want to try something new (darky is still on 2.3.3 which has the battery bug so i use 9.5).
So what 2.3.4 rom do you recommend? It doesnt have to be "blazing fast" , good battery life will suffice
Thank you.
How about Stock Gingerbread Roms?
Is there any rom stable and without bugs?
I use stock JVQ downloaded from samfirmwares with SpeedMod t23 and the auto brightness fix. All partitions converted to ext4 (/system too).
It is really responsive, no lags at all and I didnt find any bug (except the auto brightness but like I said there is a fix).
I also use tegrak to overclock it to 1.2 Ghz but thats optional, it is already really fast !!
confuse every rom has characteristic

im doing the ext 4 right now.. im not quite sure what it does, but ive read a lot of good things in it..
Hi,I have a never odin updated phone aand am trying to decided if it is worth updating to 2.3.3. Currently my bluetooth works with in car but can't control it from the cars remote and I guess that I am hoping that 2.3.3 will fix it. Or am I better to flash to a newer 2.2.1 firmware?

Many people may say yes....But to tell u the truth....I ve tried many from stock....to customised roms for foryo, GB....etc....What i ve found out that stock roms are less problematic with zero errors etc....but in custom roms u may get into one or other problem due to heavy optimisations to code....
Between GB & froyo there is no difference in feel & any big new feature. All features are hidden i.e for developers only (at least in JVK build for Galaxy S). U may think afterwards that what was all that fuss about GB when the end user cannot make out any big difference. Since all the Key fetures like SIP, NFC & TW4 are not for Galaxy S at the moment....due to hardware or sammy don't want to do it coz of Galaxy S2.
no in my opinion
At least for the current beta GB relaase XXJVK i think it's not worth to upgrade from a froyo-2.2.1
I am waiting until roms are produced based on the official release of gingerbread. For now 2.2.1 suits me just fine.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
have to admit just done it and all i can say is wow!
i was using 2.2.1 with speedmod and the colour and sharpness is great. however now that im using 2.3.3 jvk the screen just looks different! well, i switched over just for the tv off animation which all my iphone frens find it so cool!
i think it worth it. i had 2.2.1 costumed rom and he was realy nice. but this one, the JVK stock rom is the fastest, smoothest rom i had.
and dont be affraid of ODIN, it's not biteing

I would wait for a couple of weeks.Samsung has said that the official GB will released mid-April.
i´m on ultimate 8.2 for more than a week now and i´m really happy with it. bluetooth works with my parrot now about 95%. and i have to say my phone has to re-connect 30 times a day. all i do is turn off wlan+3g and i also turn off bluetooth in longer workbreaks, because if bluetooth is on for hours than it crashes.
i will not change to ginger until an official version will be released, because ultimate is the best rom i could get for my sgs.
Maybe wait for more stable version of custom rom.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
i tried both, JV1 and JVK, but in my opition a custom froyo is still better.
bluetooth did not work better in ginger also.
Wait for an official Gingerbread release. You will be better off installing a custom ROM based on the latest 2.2.1 release until then.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Whay custom roms would you recommend?
i tried a lot of roms in the last weeks, but in my option ultimate rom is the best custom froyo rom.

i was always unlucky with ultimate roms, but i've been on SIMPLY GALAXY, its brilliant. i would recommend INSANITY as well
for me if i will be ready for gb, i will go for MIUI or CM7, however, im still a chicken to do it
simply is quite ok. good speed, but i have huge battery drain with this rom.
i never tried insanity. looking foreward for a test.
wait official release of gingerbread then update on some of custom roms
When I upgraded from stock 2.2 to stock JV Gingerbread, my battery life EASILY has doubled, and EVERYTHING is faster. This is no lagfix nonsense or anything else, just stock.

So imagine an official update Will be great !
The title pretty much says it all. Which of the available Gingerbread ROM's is the best?
Or should I go back to Froyo and wait till Samsung releases the stable version of Gingerbread?
I'd personally just use a late froyo for now. Gingerbread for me hasn't had any real advantages honestly (and my phone kept crashing at the beginning when using navigation, but stopped now, and it crashed once when enabling wifi).
I am also staying with 2.2.1 until sources and a final version of 2.3.3 are released so that the geniuses here can do proper lag fixing and strap on the bells and whistles we have come to expect.
However, if you are into running the bleeding edge and don't mind a little less speed and few bugs or feature gaps compared with 2.2.1 roms, I would imagine all the Gingerbread ROMS are about the same with a few advantages and disadvantages to each. I know Simone101 does good work so you could maybe try his Simply Ginger ROM or take the stock rom from Doc's Kitchen for a spin.
Wait its still far to early for development on 2.3 to be at a full finished stage .

I was using stock JV1, stock JVK, ultibread, darkys 2.3.3 RC3. I am very satisfied with gingerbread especially with browser speed

I have tried several of them. They have all advantages and disadvantages. Personally I prefer Darkyys ROM, but I cannot tell you an "objective" reason.

I have gone back to Froyo Stock (JS8) and will wait for an official Gingerbread (or a custom ROM based on official sources.)
P.S.: At least for today
Ok I am on Ultimates v8.2 atm. I might change to Simple Galaxy Gingerbread RC 2. I was on RC1 and it was laggy and had a lot of mistakes.
So I am probably staying til lthey release the official Gingerbred ROM
Stock GB had a battery problem so i flashed honey GB but i did not like it.
Then i flashed Tiramisu EVO EXTRA 3.1. İt was fine. But when i saw CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v25 is ready i flashed this rom. İt has everything i have.
Why not try flashing with insanity? It's given my phone a whole new lease of life!
I found the latest darkys to be very quick and smooth. no 2.3 has bln so if you want that you will have to wait. I also had terrible battery on darkys 2.3 rom but others using the same rom have said they get improved battery so I would give it a try and see how it is for you.
Hi Karim!
Install the stock jvk and after that a deodexed stock rom from Ramad along with Chainfire work you'll be happy...but!...it depends on your needs...would you want to take a little advance by looking into system(little differences in it),or maybe begin to create a custom with the deodexed rom base and it worth it.
If that's not the case,you can wait,nothing hurries.

I'm running MIUI RC3c and it has the BLN built in. Works fine here, and the base is 2.3.3.
I just got a captivate last night and i have unlocked and and rooted it
it has a firmware of 2.1 - update 1
idk if thats the most recent update
i was told i can not update the phone with a t-mobile sim card in it so can anyone post a thread on updated versions and what do you all think is the best rom?
THANKS
There is no "best" rom. It's what's "best" for you. Read the forums and learn to flash 2.2 roms first.
I must warn you, flashing becomes very addictive.

I recommend trying MIUI, the customization is what puts it over the top!
Here are a few different versions of MIUI:
Galnet**What I prefer**

Prototypes release

MIUI.us

Ok ill give it a try..do i have to update to a different version> im running 2.1 right now

I've not been on 2.1 since phone came out. I would use odin one click to goto 2.2 stock. Root it then install cwm and then follow this guide if your going to try Galnet's MIUI.
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum/guides/(guide)-i897-galaxy-s-captivate-gb-bootloaders/
Then just pop the MIUI.zip on root of sdcard and install from CWM.

Wow... so... You should probably READ a lot more before flashing anything, but I'll give you a few hints to get you going:
1) Make sure you understand what a "PBL", "SBL", "Kernel", and "Modem" are and how they are placed/installed in your phone.
2) Learn how to correctly and safely use ODIN (and/or Heimdall).
3) Learn about the various methods of recovery for "soft bricks", and if necessary for your hardware revision, possibly invest in a jig (also learn what a jig is)
4) There are 2 different types/branches of ROMs for the Captivate:
-- Samsung Branch
-- AOSP Branch
Within the "Samsung" types you have:
- i9000 ROMs (like JVP, JVR, JP8, etc)
- i897 ROMs (like JF6, KF1, etc)
Within the "AOSP" types you have:
- CM7
- MIUI
- Other AOSP-based ROMs
Which is "better" is relative. CM7 and MIUI have features that aren't present in the Samsung ROMs, and both offer a bit more customization than the Samsung ROMs. However, only the Samsung ROMs offer GPU accelerated video playback, and they tend to have significantly better battery life than the AOSP-type ROMs. Also the Samsung-type ROMs used to be much more stable than the AOSP branches, but recently, the tide may have turned in the other direction. Some of the low-level radio settings are also unavailable in any of the AOSP builds. And finally, some of the Samsung stock camera features are unavailable in CM7/MIUI.
It really all depends what you want... Do you want closer to stock "open source" Android? Or do you want Samsung's vision of what they think Android should be?
Also, the whole kernel/modem part is dependent on what branch of ROM you plan on running. When using a i9000-Samsung ROM, you pretty much have to use an i9000 kernel and modem. When using a i897-Samsung ROM, you pretty much have to use an i897 kernel and modem. The rules for CM7/MIUI are a bit more vague, but at the very least you'll need to use a CM7/MIUI (most AOSP-type kernels are interchangeable) compatible kernel.
The best advice is really to try them all out and see what you like the most. If you're currently on stock 2.1 (which it sounds like you are), at the very least you should upgrade to some variant of Gingerbread (2.3.4 preferably). You will definitely notice a big difference in terms of speed and functionality. From there, well, it's all really up to you...
OR alternatively, just start throwing stuff on your phone and see what happens. Just PLEASE don't come crying back in the Captivate General forum with a "OMG I bricked my phone!!! Plz help!!!" thread. Fair warning...
Just a suggestion, but become familiar with Odin one click. Make sure your captivate has 3 button recovery, and read, re- read, and read again the directions of every rom before you flash it. Always make a nandroid back up if possible, and read the threads.if you have questions, so did someone else and the answer is probably already out there .use search. Some People will rip your head off if you don't. as far as miui goes .....i was a flashaholic when I got phone. After switching to miui, It is very unlikely that I will ever leave. Best rom ever imho. And it updates every Friday so that satisfied the flashing urge. Usually it gets better with each release. The last couple have been a little rough though. Might want to spend the 8 bucks and have a download jig on standby. Can get it from mobiltech videos. Its worth it though

a very simple and easy way to start with...
2.1 is eclair..
2.2 froyo
2.3 gingerbread..
means 2.1 is oldest and 2.3 is latest in case of official roms..
so obviously new version will hav more features and faster in speed...
so now u can take baby step and install 2.2 ..and use it for few days..and get the feel of it..then again after sometime u can install 2.3...
or else u can directly jump to 2.3....which is gingerbread....u can install stock kf1 on ur phone..its leaked official gb...if u search a bit..u will get it..
then u can use it for a lil while and get the feel of gb stock rom..in the meanwhile u can read xda abt available custom roms..and then install any of them...
coz every memeber here in xda will suggest the custom rom they r using..coz they r lovin the rom then only they r using....like for me..since the time i started flashin..i always used APEX ROM..so i will say its the best....
but again thats just me..
so decision is always urs...
