i understand what they all do. my main question is. higher the frequency the faster or slower? cause im tired of lag from lockscreens and apps i use.
Higher frequency is faster. Is the lag you get more like a delay in touch screen input rather than a stuttery slide? If that's the case, you should try some of the newer kernels like ZenKernel for Sense ROMs or the Uncapped kernels for CM6.
its slow to respond and some times stutters. not too much more so delays than anything.
What ROM are you running?

I've been experimenting with several new ROMs and have found in every case that when I install SetCPU (either choosing automatic/HTC Hero profiles) it causes dramatic slowdown on my device to the point where I just can't bear to use it. On some screens it takes 5-10 seconds to load and when I am typing a message it is often an entire WORD behind my pace and constantly trying to catch up - for the record I am no champion speed texter!
With SetCPU uninstalled my device goes back to normal.
I purchased SetCPU last year and have always enjoyed it, but it seems with the new 2.1 ROMs, it causes more bad than good. I was in the sprint store the other day looking at the EVO and I happened to use one of their stock Hero's and the difference in speed between that and mine was STAGGERING.
So is it SetCPU by itself or both it and 2.1 ROMs?
Are you using it on an oc'd rom? id not reccomend using a oc tool, manually throttle ot to where you want
this doesnt belong in dev
From what I understand is that you don't even have to use an OC tools such as OC Widget and SetCPU with Toast's kernel. I may have read this wrong so I'd ask someone else. It is built with the On Demand throttling, I believe. Therefore, if you use a 710Mhz one it will scale from it's lowest freq to it's highest when needed. But again I am not sure. Ask someone else.
Yeah Ive been using the 710 dam ker and I was fine for a week then all of a sudden lock ups and crashes when answering the phone etc I wiped and started over and its good I do want to clock it a bit though so any good recomendations would be great
Hi,
I've been recently playing some Dungeon Defenders on my SGS and well it is still sort of choppy when under stress. What bugs me is the fact that some people (with the same phone) claim to be having a clear lag-less game experience.
I've tried to switch ROMs and went from 2.1 stock eclair, trough 2.2.1 stock EU to latest Darkys 8.0 (with voodoo enabled). I have to say that there was some improvment, but it still has a long way to go.
Now, as Im looking for better gaming experience, I would like to ask if there is better ROM (not that I wouldn't be satisfied with this one though ) gaming-wise.
I also noticed, when running Quadrant Advanced (now getting 1350-1650 which is wierd. I mean 300 difference between two runs ??) that my CPU was, at the time, running at 400MHz with minimum frequency set as low as 100MHz, which seems ridiculous to me. I mean I know that CPU frequency changes in accordance with how much stress are we putting on it, but isn't it possible that even under stress my CPU runs "slower" ?
I would love to somehow improve my phone but as I already have voodoo in place, the only way to do so would be to overclock CPU right ? Or am I missing some other way to improve my phone ?
If Im not, than how safe is the overclocking ?
what would you suggest ?
Thanks everyone for your answers !!!
btw, Im sorry if I misplaced this message !
Uhmm, I can't advice you about the lag. I don't find it choppy playing Dungeon Defenders. Everything is smooth sailing. But it is safe to overclock. There might or might not be stability issues with your phone. Every phone varies. Like mine, I could get max OC to 1.3GHZ and then the phone freezes but I have friends who can OC to 1.6GHZ.
I don't recommend you to overclock though, I have some freezes in game (gameloft games especially) when OCed to 1.2GHZ.
Hi!
I posted this afternoon because I wanted to get more from my sgs and i still had doubts.
I finally made it to put Darky's room 9.3 in my sgs with no problems. Fact is that... i don't know, maybe its me, but i think i'm experiencing little bit of lag. Last quadrant i did was around 1110.
Any idea if this is normal?
Thank you in advance
Quadrants don't mean anything. Some people get crazy numbers and still feel like they have lag. Don't rely on the numbers for determining if you have lag or not. If your apps are opening quickly, as in you don't just sit there looking at a black screen, then you have relatively no lag. If you still feel you have lag, then apply a lagfix
Personally speaking, darkyy's rom has almost no lag at all in opinion, but to each his own
I get loads of lag when I turn on lagfix in darky rom with the option: convert system
Hi I'm on a JPY+voodoo. Pretty happy but one complaint about lag. Even with voodoo on when I open several apps and then go back to contacts, or SMS, it takes several seconds to open them (black window). I guess it is just the time spent to empty and refill RAM with new app. My question is: Is there the stock SGS GB free from this lag/delay? JVS, JVQ or JVR I mean... Are there CM7/MIUI free from it? Just to make sure that it is worthwile to change now without waiting a more stable version...
It's a bit riskier, but removing journal from ext4 made my phone a lot faster (on jvr and now jvs). booting the phone and loading apps especially seems faster.
Secondly, talon and galaxian are the best kernels. Personally i prefer talon for voodoo color and also it seems to run smoother with the conservative governor.
Another thing you can do is to increase the minimum frequency of your phone (ie. I did mine from 100 to 200mhz using tegrak overclock). this means faster scaling due to less steps (especially on conservative governor).
Finally, bigmem kernels may also help your problem by giving you more free ram. I use the latest talon bigmem kernel (gives u an extra 10-15mb ram). You do sacrifice HD video recording but I think its worth it if u dont do much video recording (you can always temporarily flash back another kernel on the odd occasion that you need it).
Oh and one more thing. Delete all the apps you don't use from your phone (especially system/apps)
EDIT: seems i went a bit off topic. I have heard that CM7 is faster than stock, but it seems to sacrifice battery life a little (not sure if this is still the case). And I think all stock roms have a little bit of lag, at least after a while. I think JVR/JVS are significantly better than the previous gingerbread roms (i have tried a few), but rom/kernel customisation is still important for the best user experience.

It's really weird how you said "stock roms lag". As far as I know, no other ROM besides samsung and iOS has smooth web browser scrolling
Hey everyone
Just a simple question; Is the following setup safe for my galaxy s i9000? What I mean is, will the phone face bootloops and other problems soon?? I am currently using it and the performance is....well lets just say unrealistic. Phone boots up and is ready go in less than 15 seconds. The reason why I am paranoid is because im coming from the stock 2.2 Froyo and the performance gain really is unbelievable.
Setup is:
- Stock XXJVT odex
- Dark Core kernel 4.1 for JVT (It has some lagfix activated or something)
- Adernaline Shot v13
- Current governor (through setCPU): Ondemand -> As recommended by Adernaline Shot thread.
I wouldn't worry to much. The performance gain from Froyo Stock to JVT is really impressive!
I had a pretty similar setup for some time at it was running very well. Some random reboots may occur as with all firmwares (Stock and cutom) I have tried before.
Also, I overclocked it to 1,3Ghz with no loss of stability.
Have fun.
Nice and clean setup. You should not face any problem.
Hello!
Just reporting back on this setup....
The performance really is amazing. Phone runs very fast, apps load and close instantly, no heating issues, browsing is incredible, and not to mention this voodoo sound thing that turned the speakers into boom boxes, and massively improved in-call sound and volume. I haven't had any random bootups yet.
However, the only grudge I have is, and hopefully u guys can help me out, that the GPS signal quality is very lame with Google Maps. Also, Google Maps is VERY laggy, sometimes impossible to use because I can't even scroll around or zoom-in/out because it goes down to like 3 fps. It is just shocking that heavy 3D games can be played for an hour without any stuttering or slowing down, yet Google's own application Google Maps barely runs.
I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me out
GPS problems?. Welcome to SGS world.

Lol ya after doing some searching I found that this is a pretty common problem. However, its not the GPS locking that is bothering me; The Google Maps app itself is VERY laggy, im currently on version 6.0.0 and it is unusable for me. Scrolling around and zooming in/out is like 2 frames per second. Do you know why that would be?
