[Q] Need help finding this (smooth) ROM, please! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, a few days ago (or was it last week?) i was reading random posts at this forum from my phone on TapaTalk.
I clicked a topic, and read about a dude who had a really smooth rom running on his SGS.
Some ppl doubted him, so he filmed when he was surfin the standard browser on heavy pages, lots of windows, and switched between em, scrolling and zooming, and it was just soo smooth.. he uploaded and linked the movies to youtube.
I have searched like crazy(!!) and can't find this post, or what rom/kernel he was using.
Anyone here knows what tread it was, or who it was?
I wanna know this because my phone is just so damn slow and lagy, i have tried a few different roms (JS3 only), kernels and lagfixes but nothing helps.. appdrawer (ADW Launcher EX) is lagy. Dungeon Defenders almost unplayable, even in single player. Hell, even the Storm8 games, like iMobsters and Racing Live is lagy when i scroll down... never seen an SGS this slow.
Please, help me..
Thanks!

No one seen this tread? =(
I've heard that JPY is faster/smoother than the one i'm currently using; JS3.
Can anyone confirm this?
Please, feel free to recommend a SMOOTH rom!
I hate this lag ...

I'm kinda new to Samsung (coming from an HTC Desire) so i don't know about all this Odin, Kies stuff.
I rooted via One-click, flashed a Speedmod kernel so i would get CWM.
Flashed Darky's 9.1 rom (JS3) over my JP6 rom that i had from start, original.
I did a full wipe before flashing Darky's.
Ever since that i had these lags... tried Doc's rom, ultimate, insane... etc etc..
Same with all.
Where did it go wrong?
Dont know what i should try next. Either find that smooth rom i was talking about, or get my phone back to original state and hope it gets better? :S

alternative skype for 2.1?

is there any alternative android application working for 2.1 eclair? like nimbuzz? tango? that has working voice call over wifi, but still in skype account?.haaaaay, I'm sick of waiting for froyo 2.2 to work the skype. im not confident to try flashing roms yet bcoz I don't have money income yet to replace this phone If anything bad happened like bricking it

I am not sure of one that uses your skype account info. but i know you could download Yahoo Messenger and there is a plugin to download and allow you to use voice.. just not video.. i had that when I was on 2.1 and couldnt use skype myself..
Flashing is more mental imho.. i had my phone for just 2-3weeks and i too was scared. .but i went ahead and did it.. read the "how too's" and in the one from the development page there is a 3part video that shows you the complete steps of what to do.. watch that video (maybe 2-3times to be sure) and follow the video along with instructions from the sticky and you will be fine.. it was a lot easier than i thought and I was ok.. I know you will be ok with either the new Cognition 3.04 or the new Andromeda 2.0.. i used Cog first and flashed right over that to Andromeda 2.0 with no issues so far.. Andromeda is a lot faster and seems to be better on my battery as well..
Anyway.. hope that helps some..

[Q] Game performance on the MIUI ROM

Hello there,
I am currently running the latest MIUI rom (1.1.28 with english pack 1c) for the nexus one and I am experiencing some problem playing certain games....
for me, some games load up but on 1/3 of the screen only (the rest is black)...this games include moron test, babo crash
other games run full screen but at a lower resolution such as doodle jump
as for some games, they are just unplayable (all the graphics is messed up) such as leave devil alone...
is there any way to fix this problem with games? is anyone else having this problem?
i like to play some games once in a while (since I paid for them...) but i just love the miui rom to switch to anything else for the moment (plus i have a lot more games that do work )
anyways, hope someone can help me with this.
Peace.
very strange.....
I have your same rom, with italian pack and I dont have the problem you speak about.
You could try with a full wipe and a clean install of the rom.
This solved many problems I had in past.
does the MIUI rom only support games for the desire and nexus 1?
because my latest gameloft games dont work with this rom and they work with other roms

I did that yesterday and it solved the problem!! All the games now run like they should (normal resolution and all)! Thank god for the great back up feature of MIUI!!
I don't know that caused the problem though...maybe something went wrong with all the flashing that I do every week (MIUI updates+ eng pack).
As for the games being specific for the n1 and desire, i don't really know but you could go to miui-dev.com and check the forum for your device.
Peace.

[Q] The best ROM?

Hello, can anyone tell me, which is the most stable ROM for my X8, and can i have a link for it? Im already using FroyoBread 2.2.9, but it keeps restarting alot, like when going on skype, receiving calls, etc... Oh and which launcher app (that stuff like app drawer and main screen.) is the best?
You could use the search function as there were like 2 topics about this here already. There's no such thing as best ROM tbh. If you're looking for a stable ROM, go for

Ok let me explain one thing first,, There is atleast 10 more threads asking the same question
Bottom Line is there no best rom, roms are getting changed, updated, and downgraded everyday,, you have to find you own best combo,
FOR example my best combo is At the moment Gingerdx+Alfs+Jimdemtweaks+my own tweaks,, where some other people prefer Minicm7+Naa (which is also great) , also the atifroyo+ Alfs isnt a bad combo either,, you just gotta experiment roms and find it out on ur own
And This Might Help

[Q] Reccomendation for quickest ROM?

After playing with the Xperia S a few days ago I want to sort my phone out finally (hasn't been properly setup in ages).
At the moment I'm running "DarkyRom JVQ V10.2" with kernal "2.6 35.7 #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ".
My battery life is fine (needs to be recalibrated though) but it's still a bit laggy, no idea if I have lagfixes.
I would like ICS if it'll enable it to be snappy/quick but not really bothered as I don't believe there's any major thing in there for me over gingerbread. The other thing is I'd like to always have the buttons in the notification bar if possible (stuff like GPS/Wifi/auto rotate), think I will be using the GO launcher based on playing with a friends. I also like customisation, stuff like notifcation bar icons, colours etc.
Any ideas or pointers to the right place? I don't need a big tutorial just a pointer to the right place would be fine, also a bit stuck with some of the tutorials I've looked at as they all seem to have so many ways and just reference "flash this kernal" without actually showing how/pointing to the right direction.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've done a bit of research and I like the look of AOKP (Kang project). It seems to have the most features and be the most solid ROM. What kernal should I use though?
Aokp with semaphore or devil kernel.

Try slim ICS 2.8
Been on it for the last week coming from Team ICSSGS RC4.2. Loving it, very responsive
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096&page=1
Also if you insist staying on GB try Juwe's rom, haven't been updated or ages though but it ran well for me while I was still on it
I personally prefer using the GamerzRom. Although the name is kinda misleading, it is a good ROM for a daily driver.
Its faster than most ROM's I've played around with. Not too graphic heavy and I use it for my App development testing and for business purposes. All in all, it's fast, responsive and snappy.

If you wanna stay on stock rom i suggest you flash v20e. If you insist on europe version i suggest you flash v20o. These are latest stock roms. And i think this is the quickest and the best solution to your problem. Rooted ones can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 (look at the latest pages)
If you are open to using custom roms and if you are all about performance knock on Huexxx's door and install Zeus v6 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454274
If you are all about looks then look for the achyut's roms Prada, Sapphire. There is also a great ROM, tantrum's Marvel v6. I gave you a sneak peak. Rest is in your hands. Look for them in the forum make up your mind.
And for a future referance a friendly suggestion: Questions should be posted at Q/A section.
I had both german roms, N and now O, and there was no lag in any menu... maybe your problem is elsewhere, a bad app or maybe too many messages (SMS)??
Try to install WatchDog and look for a bad app... too many CPU cycles...
I have more than 800 contacts... (From '97 and it's still growing), including facebook contacts, a vast array of apps and games and there is no problem, no noticeable lag! The new Gingerbread is way faster than Froyo, so it's a little awkward that you have lag problems.
If you have badly cracked apk's that could be a problem too (try to buy them, google has a very good discount policy), or different add oriented apps, because a lot of them are running constantly and it's no wonder that your phone lags! I had the same problem with GLU's Games... all run in the background and are impossible to stop... STUPID if you ask me!!!
i have lag on the contact list too, froyo was noticeably much much smoother.
its so weird, i havent found a solution yet so i'll be waiting for further new LG firmwares.
(tried both v20n and v20o)
its the same on any rom even zeus v6 , marvel , and v20x its just a 15 fps lag on scrolling , and i dont like it , it isnt smooth enough ... maybe there is a fps cap?
I agree with u guys I have lag too, the only Rom I used without lag was cm7
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
so is there any way to remove this 15 fps cap ? it would be nice if is a way
