i just updated to darkys 7.8 rom its fast but score is low with quadrent only at 1100~
i used to use OCLF which convert the partition to ext2 however darkys already use ext4 for file system so i dont know if this gonna do any good
so which lag fix should i do and where to get it from
thx
Apply voodoo from recovery.
It's included in Darky's, but not activated.
Its fast but quadrant is poor .
Suggests quadrant is a poor tool .
jje
Quadrant was reliable until Froyo appeared. From then on it became irrelevant.
applied
thx
take no notice off quadrant scores they mean nothing
Someone is concerned about his ePeen.

I would ignore Quadrant scores, they are pretty much obselete.
Congrats for a great forum!!
I'm here because i have a question about voodoo lag fix:
1. Voodoo Lag Fix will be work if i have not flashed ROM?
my software revision is I9000TUMJH4/I9000TTCEJH6/I9000TUMJG1/I9000TUMJH4
Version of Android: Eclair 2.1 update 1
I tried before with One Click Lag Fix, but after install EXT2 Tools after Boot Animation only get a black screen, i use recovery mode to apply factory reset and I'm worried this happen again with voodoo lag.
Well you should upgrade to froyo instead. The latest is fast and work well.
Then you have many option to get it faster.

Ok thanks for the advice i'll find the way to upgrade cause here in Mexico we don't have the official upgrade yet

Personally, I think CyanogenMod 7 for SGS is much smoother when you scroll things. But animation and speed is the same.
if you looking froyo version then it is darky or simple galaxy or ultimate rom but u must also do a combo with kernels like damiangto or speedmode or others...just do a test and u will se what is your perfect combo and desire u want =)
thanks ill try those roms and see which is quicker
but can i put a different kernel on custom roms cos i tried a kernel for overclocking on darky and it kept freezing
Ahola!
I can personally recommend insanity 0.6.6 with gto 1.1 gold kernel. its fast and responsive as hell. Try to keep it as minimalistic as possible to keep you speed. Get a 2000+ quadrant every time and with ext2 flat and some tweaks you can get near the 2500 without oc Going to flash ultimate with gto 1.1 gold today. Will keep you updated!
Thanks will wait for your updatee

i flashed insanity 0.6.6 with 1.1 gold kernel and i only got 1472 in quadrants
can u tell what i should change in recovery mode so that i can make it quicker, im a noob so can u do a step by step??
just flashed juwe's 1.5 smart edition rom, man its good, i think its the first rom smoother than darkys without OC kernel...

Change filesystem to ext2 with ext2 loops for the best performance. You can also do without loops or ext4 with ext2 loops. Not that this will make you lose data when you do a battery pull. For me performance is more important then safety, never had any trouble but be aware.
Check this link for more info on the system:

Im on simply galaxy now and for me it looks better than insanity and is just as fast. (Note that I stripped away almost 100 mb and replaced some of insanity's work)
Still on Damian's kernel and its fast with underclock (800mhz) and undervolt (-100), have 2 full days battery now!
Also quadrant doesn't say anything. With the right tweaks you get a 3000+ score but actual performance is different. Just try some things see how scrolling, navigating, opening a lot of apps and games run. (run n64oid games or dungeon defenders, this will require a lot from your phone)
In the end its all about preferences but there are some huge differences. I was on darky untill 2 months ago. Soon CM7 and Miui will be awesome, check their process in a few weeks
yea its true, i used to get quadrant score of 1800+ with OCLF but things kept force closing,crashing a lot, the quadrant score may show u the computing speed but in terms of multi-tasking and real-time phone functioning i use Darky 9.3 and its very smooth and responsive, better than stock definitely (as well as OCLF)

I have some question:
I'm noob at using lagfix tweak in some kernel, I used to change to ext4, is it ok?
which kernel that I can choose ext2?
Can u show me the way to tweak insanity?
Is Tegrak kernel better?
Quadrant scores doesn't really matter.I get only 1000 with darky's 10 RC3, but it's ultra smooth ad lagfree.

Yeah man but it will be better with a higher both quadrant and real perfomance
I still wonder how to get near 2500 points with ext2 and some tweaks? I need your instructions.

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John
install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button
Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing
Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.
Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.
+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.
Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix
small tip

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!
try miui mintberry
My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.

Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

Wrong thread. Also there is tonnes of information a single google search away on how to root your phone. One way is to download Odin and then flash a rooted kernal such as CF-Root onto the phone from Download mode.
Hi,
I'd like to know which ROM is capable of starting up and run with less memory? What I mean to ask is, I want a ROM that starts up with < 150mb of ram and provide me more space for running my downloaded apps.
I've tried MIUI, CM9, etc., all starts up with 300mb utilized! Gives me only 30-50 mb space
I know my device is getting older Waiting for S3
Thanks,
Senthur.

Hi, does the android version makes any diffrence to you?
If it doesn't i will probbably suggest you to use GamerzRom.
the problem is that the base kernel of Gamerz is SemforeBM and you can't youse 720P quality while taking a video.
however, you can always use another kernel, though with BM the performence are awsome.
Try myics
I usually have 150 mob to spare

I think Slim and Infinitum are best for RAM on ICS, GamerzRom best on GB.
For GB gamerz rom, i'm in v9 and when i start the phone it use 150mb of ram (200mb of free ram) for v10 it will be more
on ics (slim) you have kernel with 402MB ram
for my phone i still prefer gb and gamerz rom
Use ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil2 0.72 XL kernel i got 200-210 mb free ram with this config.
Just use a stock froyo rom (2.2 or 2.2.1) like JS8.
JS8 is probably on of the best roms for our device, fast and stable.
Don't forget, if you flash another rom do a factory reset to remove previous garbage from other roms.
Use Slim Rom, always have 200 mb ram free for apps.

Are you sure? Its fast and support all Apps? How long are you using this ROM? How many Application/Game do you use?

I dont mind about the Android version. GB is okay with me. But does Gamerz ROM gives more of usable RAM? How long are you using?
Thanks again!
Currently i don't use this rom because i got tired of messing up with roms and decided to keep my phone as stock as possible.
Before this decision i used the phone for months and i was quite happy, the performance is good at any level (Games, OS Smoothness), i don't remember any app that i couldn't use. Also the network and wireless levels were very good.
Also it's the stock rom with highest quadrant score if i'm not mistaken.
But keep in mind, each type of user has it's rom, so it depends from person to person.

Only ICS kernel with swap is devil 0.73 test version. Swap feature works great for many guys.
if want the ICS try slim sics or Aokp + devil 2.72 xl kernel
I'm om Aokp+ devil i have free ram with some apps running between 190 to 160 free ram
and if wanna Gb try gamerz i think the best GB free ram Rom
Thanks guys..
Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've now installed Slim ICS 3.1 (from WeUI) and happy about the performance, as I get solid 150-200 MB free RAM memory always. I will use this for 2 weeks and then update here about the performance with apps/games installed.
Also, I will install below ROMs suggested by you guys.
Gamerz
ICSSGS + devil
Stock froyo JS8 ( hopefully, I won't like it)
In Slim ICS, have to try (1) Devil kernel, (2) a kernel with swap (devil again - 0.73)
AOKP + devil
