I know that people generally hate these kind of threads but despite reading around in the ROM forums, I am just more and more confused.
I am looking to upgrade my stock Eclair to Froyo, but I am confused as to which ones are good or not.
Basically because my phone is primarily for business use the things I want in order of importance are:
Stability, battery life, speed, bluetooth support. I don't care for all the social networking crap. I need something that is VERY simple to flash (step by step on Doc's ROM are great).
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
To be honest nearly all roms come with the standard features like bluetooth working etc, due to them all being based on samsung releases. Only the cyanogen rom and varios other attempts at ports will leave you dry in that area.
As far as battery life goes, what is your like now? how much do you use it?
I have been using doc's 7.5 rom for a few weeks now and i get this result on quadrant basic

I keep the battery life right by using the super power program and making sure when the screen is off, wifi, bluetooth and 3g are also off. I have rss feeds coming down all the time also.rss is a bit hungry on power but I can get a good day of medium to heavy use out of it.
As far as stability goes the rom is excellent, never had a force close yet!
I would strongly suggest going up to 2.2, hope this helps
Thanks for the reply. I can get around 2 days depending on how much I use it, on a really very very heavy usage day I may need to charge at about 8-9pm

I am using the latest official ROM, but want a faster version. Can anyone reccomend a custom ROM that is mostly based on the official only stripped out and sped up? I dont want to go too custom. Make sense?
Hmmm, you don't seem that new so i'm surprised you asked this :S. There are different ROMs and you should try them ALL out (yes, i said all) to see which one best fits your needs. You have no idea how tedious and stressful (at times) cooking a ROM could be so it's only fair you go try them all out and decide for yourself
I asked only because there seem to be SO many, and I really just want a simple paired down plain-old stock rom. Nothing fancy, just a few "speed her up" tweaks built in. I wasnt about to ask in the ROM thread, thats suicide.. I thought here would be ok.
I have posted some here and lurked for a while now, but only flashed like twice. 1 custom then the 6.1 official. I am not a big flash junkie, only a speed freak.
Anyone got a suggestion?

I you want stock go with "Imnotatreofan" ROM - Stock At&T 6.1 ROM with no bloatware - I have run it and it is very good.
If you want F-A-S-T - the try the "NoThrills" ROM - I am currently running this one and love it. Sorry I don't have links, I just saw your post and thought I would reply.
Useless Thread. Best is Subjective. Try them all. They are like Pokemon, Must Collect them all!

Hi, I'm having a problem regarding battery draining issue, no matter Eclair 2.1 or Froyo 2.2, I left my SGS fully charge 100% at 12am and find out it only left 75% at 6am. So you guys can imagine how suffer I am to survive using this phone especially on heavy use. But I really love this phone
The main culprit which I believe is the Display which consumes high power as you can see in my snapshot bellow
I would like to ask your favor to share what is your Display % and Do you have any battery draining problem?
You can find the % info as below
Settings>About Phone>Battery use>Display
Do you have any suggestion how to solve this? Or any recommended ROM that can fix it?
Terima kasih. Thank you. 谢谢. Obrigado. Gracias. Спасибо. Vielen Dank. Dank u. Shukran

More info:
**I've tried the batterystats.bin fix
**I've closed all background running programs
Currently I'm using i9000, Froyo 2.2 xxJPK, rooted, OCLF v2.1, standard TWLauncher
Have you tried turning off 3G and WiFi overnight?
I get the impression that "Display" actually covers everything other than Cell Standby, Wifi, and Phone Idle.
Use the test menu *#*#4636#*#* from the dialler to get more detailed battery history, especially check the CPU usage stats as a runaway process may be chewing through the battery.
hi guys
so what's the best kernel between these 2and why
thanks
You can flash both of these very easily using sgs flasher. Try each in turn and make your own mind up, it really depends on what apps you use and your own usage patterns.
Sent using TCP/IP
what would you use to play games (with chainfire etc..)
I personally have used both, latest Semaphore and GalaxianEE (I came from GT) and I personally still like GalaxianEE.
While not being able to overclock, it personally is the only kernel I've managed to use that love lower voltages, and I have managed to get my phone running at 50 hours

I've also managed to stretch it all the way to 96 hours before LOL, but I didn't take a screenie of that.
well the best part of this is that u can flash any of this kernels im prefer semaphore
more stable
thank you guys
i allready tried semaphore 1.9.0 but it lags sometimes .
i think i'm gonna go with galaxianEE for the battery life
beside those 2 , is there any other good kernels that support OC/UV
JVT of course.

Refer to poll on top. Personally I've tried a few of those and Galaxian is more of my thing, Absolutely stable with -225mv on 100 mhz
its decided .galaxianEE it is.
thanks for your help.
No problem. Here's a screenie of stable voltages for mine, may or may not work for you but just as reference I suppose
thank you
i will try this
BTW, what rom are you using ?
Simplicity 1.6 Custom Cooked
Does anybody know if the .726 firmware has any issues with low battery life and overheating?? I have the update available but i didn't do it because i red that many z3 compact-lollipo users had problems with battery life. Thanks
Battery Issues
I had an issue when I installed it, battery life was terrible the first day. Something about Mobile Radio Active... I turned off Queue Background Data in Power Management and it seems to be better now. I haven't had any issues with overheating, although I might not be the best person to ask, cause I'm not really a heavy user. Just every day apps.
I installed the update immediately because I got sick of not being able to do anything with my sd card! I don't really see any other reason, so if you don't wanna risk it, don't update!
EDIT: Ignore what I said, battery is still terrible. It appears that lollipop's battery stats is just bad. There is something wasting my battery and I have no idea what

I upgraded my gf z3 to lollipop and the damn phone overheats constantly and has an insane battery drain. It usually drops to 40% by 8 or so for her on normal usage (she barely uses it) but since the update it dies before 9pm. There is something seriously wrong with this and I'll continue looking into this. Really aggravating. And the heat is unbearable.
Hello everyone, today I woke-up with my phone pretty much dead, with only 1% of battery. The weird thing is that before bed, the battery percentage was around 70ish percent.
Here's a screenshot of the battery usage:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some details to help me figure it out the issue:
Auto optimize daily is on.
Auto restart at set times is on (it restarted around the time that the battery percentage drops to the floor).
Adaptative power saving is off.
Background usage limits is configured properly.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
it's possible the Google services was running (updates and such) and used up a lot of the battery. Google being the OS developer tends to run quite a lot of things in the back without users knowing, and this is quite normal. As to draining such large amount, is your location in a poor data coverage area? if you are, then the phone likely was using extra battery to strengthen the signal. Note that even with wifi connection, data is still used for some activities by the phone.
if this keeps persisting then Google is probably not the culprit and you'll want to report the issue right away to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report. just be sure to see the drain and immediately report.
Also, I've seen some users install 3rd party apps to track in finer detail on what is using the battery the most. I myself do not know as I don't use it, but you can easily find some recommendations on Reddit i think.
