So, my Galaxy S just arrived this day and i right now unpack it, but after modding my Motorola Milestone with EclairModv3, i thought what is the best ROM what i should use at beginning? My modding knowledge with Android is bit limited, like i said i just installed GOT Recovery + EclairModv3 with my Milestone.
I appreciate every answer
Good before i make a new thread i using this one instead. My question is, right now im using XXJPH + root + One klick Lag Fix. Should i stay or should i use another ROM for getting the most out of my Phone, i heard good things about JM8 + Voodoo Lagfix

What to do first.
Learn to use forum maybe?
Flash JM8 and install Voodoo Beta 4 lagfix.
Then enjoy the magic!
JPK is amazing. Been using it since it got leaked and had no problems. You should flash JPK asap and enjoy its FroYo goodness until the official version is released.
thx everybody for replying and thx to the mod for moving this thread.
I just recharge my SGS Battery to 100% and then i go to set up the JPK Version. i already found a JPK-lite Version in Android Dev Section, gonna try that to be exactly. And yeah will be back here to tell you what happened wrong (don't think that will ever happen) and what works (everything i guess )
Froyo betas are buggy in speed and whatnot. I say install JM8 and use OCLF as Voodoo seems to drain batteries like a hooker on a sailor
I'd say use XXJM1 Rev 3, and I strongly recommend against using lag fixes which mess with the filesystem.
Too little research has actually been done in regards to the design to ensure there aren't no long term problems (such as Corrupted IMEI, when updating in the future).
yeah will go to stock firmware again in future when official froyo comes out for SGS right now im using XXJPK + Lightrom v3 which includes OCLF without any issues at all but like i said i respect every answer of yours

First thing to check is three button combo (vol up+home+power, and vol down+home+ power)works or not? If yes then do all flashing, updating, etc,ect.

root your phone.
get a lite rom or make one yourself.
install OCLF
set alter minfree to strict
set scheduler to cfq

Hey guyz, im new to android world so id like to introduce myself shreddd ... im a software developper so as soon as i get confortable with android i will be developpin some apps . (android sdk is already installed on my eclipse hehe)
Alright so there is my situation.
I have a captivate i896 just rooted it the hard way. Ive search the forum a bit and im going to put cog froyo on my phone. My question is : Ive read about lag fixes specially voodoo lag fixes wich seems efficient and i was wondering if i should install that lag fix before or after flashing to froyo 2.0 ?
Since froyo rom could overwrite everything it could be useless to install the fix before , but since this fix it format the sdcard it could be usefull... anyway you tell me hehe
If I am not mistaken the latest cognition has voodoo built in, it will install automatically.
yessir you put cog on your phone VooDoo is not only initiated but also it will be rooted happy flashing!!

On some roms especially i9000 based you have the option between like 5 or 6 lag fixes

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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...
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.

If you are not curious about what are in new roms and if you do not have any problems with the stock rom. Do not flash.....
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.
Slap me if I'm wrong...

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 bought an used captivate. It looks in very good condition, but it feels slow, specially phone applications - contacts.
I reset it to wipe all data twice, and I installed Advanced Task Killer, but phone application is slow...launching angry birds is slower than my old nexus one.
how do i know if this is a hardware issue? Since i have wiped all data.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
That's not a factory ROM or even one designed for the Captivate. It is a custom ROM based on i9000 Gingerbread. Could be the modem is not compatible with your service area and is using more processor cycles than normal. You should read up on ROMs in the Dev forum and perhaps reflash to a proper Cappy ROM or at least a modem for your area. Check the modem sticky in Dev.
My phone was also slow on Apex 7.2,very slow. It is also due to the fact you are using Touchwiz 4 on your phone(it really slows down your whole phone).
I'd suggest you going back to stock and do a master clear and install Continuum 6.1 afterwards. Download GO Launcher EX as well, it is free. I use continuum 6.1 as well on my cappy with that launcher and it runs really smooth

or flash a Captuavte GB ROM. I have yet to flash an i9000 GB ROM that didn't slow down to a crawl after a few weeks of use. I just wiped Contimuum 6 after a nice run but it became laggy over the past few days. Putting Cog 5 on it and put it in mothballs when the SGS 2 arrives. I will be glad to be over the i9000 on the captivate situation. The I9000 GB ROMS a re GREAT featurewise but something about the Captivate hardware makes them unreliable in the longer term for me anyway. Apex was the worst offender. Contimuum is a much better ROM but even it became laggy after a while. The wife has had Cog 5 B2 as long as I have had C6 and her handset is exactly the same speed as it was when I flashed it on release weeks ago..

+1 as far as getting some kind of lag with i9000 eventually. It seems I had to clear cache and dalcich cache on a regular basis. So I switched that cappy back to DGs Cog5b2 and then b3 and it JUST WORKS. It is my second (backup, testing) phone and love the way it works.
Also I have been on CM7 since they first made it available, I have seen the bugs go down to almost nothing and it is JUST SMOOTH and FAST. It is my daily driver and I will NEVER give it up. Battery life isn't great but I have three batteries so I manage. Also PLUS ONE when the SGS2 comes out it will be my next phone and HOPEFULLY CyanogenMOD will be at least as good on it as it is my Cappy.

You are already running GB boot loaders (probably I9000's) So when flashing roms or to stock try flashing the ones that DO NOT include boot loaders. But like everyone said you should look for KF1 based roms if u want gingerbread rom.
