What is the best lag mod/fix for the Galaxy S?

Okay there is now alot of mods and fixes on the SGS now. People are porting from captivate, vibrant and i9000. From your experience, what is the best mod/fix and what firmware works best with each mod? I am sure there are alot of combinations and not everyone will be willing to flash to different firmware and the mods. So i thought you guys come post your experience and such.

Stock mod with no changes: I9000JPJG8 (AFRICA)
Custom: XWJM5 + SamSet 1.9b + A2SD Lag Fix

If, like me, you don't want to go down the flashing different ROMs and messing with the SDcard route, try rooting this way (easiest):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
and then install Autokiller off the market. It has, so far, made a massive improvement of the lagging problem with me on jf1 (O2 UK). It sounds a bit daunting but it is quite easy, plus its reversible if you need to make a warranty claim.

Mimocon hands down, was very hard to get the partition sorted but once it's done then applying the fix to subsequent firmwares has been a relative breeze and the performance difference had been staggering! There seem to be issues with force closes with the latest m5 firmware but clockwork recovery's fix permissions script appears to resolve them perfectly! Hope that helps a bit!

mimocon is the best i think, i did his version on my captivate and its working fine

[Q] What's the best ROM available?

Last month I sold my iPad and bought an AT&T Galaxy Tab and haven't regretted it one bit. I carefully followed the instructions on the "How to flash AT&T Tab to make calls page" (link below). Everything works great and I have no complaints but I am not really sure how current the ROM is that's I'm running (the one in the first post linked on the page below). I see here in the dev forum that their are several to choose from.

Any advice on the best one to use? Another consideration would be what (if any) advantage I would gain from upgrading and having to reload/setup everything again.
Thanks,
Richard

all functional roms (roto, modaco, overcome) are based on the same samsung rom (jmi), and are similar.
other roms, like cm-7, are not fully functional now.
the best difference is in the kernel:
roto are based on samsung file system and modaco and overcome on ext4 file system.
you have also a kernel that are overclocked (seems stable, but provably the life of the cpu was no than longer)....

Overcome hands down....

I find official KM2 to be the best for me.

for me the best rom is modaco rom with 1.4ghz kernel.

Roto-JMI v2 is what I'm using and it is GREAT. I have a T-Mobile Tab and stock ROM was G-A-R-B-A-G-E!!!!!!! I've tried all of Roto's ROMs and no complaints, but by far for me JMI v2 is the best.
What I like about this ROM:
- Very fast webpage loading (Miren and Dolphin HD browsers)
- Very Smooth scrolling within the UI
- Battery lasts much longer
I will edit once I think of more Pro's.
What I don't like about this ROM:
- Extremely minor!!!!! I had to find .apk's for some apps that weren't showing up in the Marketplace, BUT I have everything I wanted and simply backed everything up (with Titanium Backup) so I'm good to go.
- AT&T U-Verse app
- Slingbox app (yes I paid $30 for this app originally)

Looking at the ROM that is available from the post below that I used, what ROM am I using, i.e. what is it commonly called here on XDA?

You can get your sling box back by re-installing the stock ATT Build.prop and clearing the cache on the Market app. Next time you open the market Slingbox will be there along with every other apk. PM me if you need the build.prop
To the OP, I am also having great success on my ATT Tab with the Roto JMI ROM. Everything and I mean everything is better!

So the link I posted uses the "Roto JMI ROM"?
Thanks,
Richard

This should be in general. We have stickies entitles "Let's clean up the dev section". Can we keep it clean?

I re-packaged the stock firmwares for safety and simplicity, to minimize the potential for fail which frustrates a lot of new users.
But, now with Overcome and Modoco you have the option to try a more modified firmware which may address some of the stock firmwares shortcomings at the expense of a little more installation complexity.
My recommendation is to start off with my firmware if you're new to flashing, then as you get more comfortable and read/learn from others experiences, try out the more customized firmwares to gain all the benefits they offer.

you're the creator of my first rom loaded in tab. you have maked a great work. thank's!
now, i'm on overcome (1.1.2) but is provably that the galaxyTab community needs your work in the near future, that the overcome creator is in other themes and no has time for continue working on it, and it seems that paulobrien is also in the same line... :/
have you planned to deodex your rom and make if flashable with CWM?. this was great!!

I'm new at all this but had good success updating me phone to SlimBean using only CWM (flashed three times). Unfortunately, they do not support my tablet listed in my signature below.
Does anyone know a stable replacement ROM/Kernel, etc for my tablet listed below that I could flash again using only CWM?
Will thank any good suggestions.
Thanks.
GT-I9000, SlimBean 4.2.1 v1.0, Semaphore 2.9.10s
GT-P1000, Overcome 3.1.0 - Kratos

[Q] Do I really need a custom ROM?

So what I have done to date on my Captivate.
1. Updated to latest Froyo 2.2 using Kies
2. Loaded .NET and etc
3. Rooted using SuperOneClick. Thanks ShortFuse
4. Titanium Backup. Thanks Joel
5. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine. Thanks Android Central
6. Captivate Toolbox. Thanks Bay_wolf
7. Installed wireless tether 2.0.7 Thanks harald.mue, ulfada
8 Pimped my Captivate- Thanks systoxity, nbs11, and other XDA developers.
Now I'm to the point to ROM or not to ROM. Everything is working great. Further I am hesitant about the possibility of bricking my phone. Should I go for it? What ROM to use? What program to get ROM on phone?
Many thanks in advance.

It really just comes down to if you like your Captivate the way it is. If you aren't happy with the performance you get from it then try a few out. I recommend Cognition for a stock like experience and Serendipity for the most stable and kept up to date ROM.

This really doesn't belong in this section. It should have been posted in the General or the Q&A sections.
Well what you have done in all those steps, other then Titbu is actually done in one step by flashing a rom.
If you pay attention to the steps your risk of bricking is minimal. Just read all the rom threads and see which one floats your boat. Cognition 4.1.1 is a very stable rom. Firefly is another stable rom. You might like Fusion also as that and Cog are based off the curren kcb1 release from att.
You will need odin 1 click to return to stock. You will have to download Rom Manager and install Clockwork recovery. That puts an update.zip on your phone that boots you into recovery mode so you can flash a rom. Once you put clockwork on the phone its best to copy the udate.zip to your comp or to an ext sd card so you can just move it over after you flash back to stock when you updated roms.
First and foremost is read as much as you can before doing anything.

Thanks for the brief input. It was not my intent to post in the wrong forum. I'll repost in the Q/A.

Pm a mod and have them move it instead of double posting.

The answer is Yes.

like they said above you could have done by flashing but you would still need root and rom manager first which if you already have 2.2 means flashing a kernel via .tar which used to mean odin but now we have neldars app. so it's not really one step, even on 2.1 noone is doing signed .zips that run in 2e recovery so you still need to root and install cwmrecovery.
basically roms have some nice features like getting rid of tw mms which many versions of have bugs and timing errors that can cause double messages or incorrect order of messages or in some cases messages to the wrong contact, if you dont have that issue now flashing a rom with tw mms may cause it or it may not. aosp mms is safer but only works with samsung lockscreens on some roms, watch for that if you like the puzzle piece functionality. but there may be many enhancements like removed bloat(unless you like the samsung bloatware) minfree tweeks, mobile ap which may be more stable than using an app for wifi hotspot, plus random shortcuts ect.ect. many of these things you can do but some are features of the base rom and require flashing, 2.2.1 baseroms are smoth as butter, especially the ones from china and 2.2.1 kernels will make the phone benchmark better.
then there is kernels which you can flash now without the rom, kernels can make the phone feel smoother and the screen brighter and better colors and add volume to the headphone amp which i dont recommend because mine clips at anything above the stock setting. also there is undervolt and overclock ect... i would recomend maybe a speedmod kernel or glitterballs work, some galaxy s phones can not exceed 1.2 ghz i dont know of anyone that cant overclock but for me 1.2 is 100% stable 1.28 is 90% stable 1.3 is about the same maybe a bit more stable and 1.4 is about 30% stable i can do it but need to be really carefull about what's running and for how long, not really usable. kernels other than glitterballs mat cause your phone to die while charging but i here the sucker punch kernel has a lower occurrence of that than past kernels. speed mod is not overclock and is safe and makes a big difference!
then there is modem.bins and gps. the two are related. if you have good gps now flashing a modem.bin can make that go away and vise/versa there isn't any rules as to what works/doesn't because every phone is different. but other than gps you need to match a captivate rom to a captivate modem. this is because on north american captivate roms changing the modem and kernel to a non captivate version will disable bluetooth calling.
then there is hsupa, it's a bit over rated in a good service area, my isp gives me about the upload bandwith at home that i get without hsupa, my home internet is fine for browsing but im not hosting any files. on the otherhand it may help in lower service areas somewhat or if you tether multiple devices. to enable huspa you need a non north american captivate rom and kernel and modem.bin, you need to decide if that is important and at a slight risk of losing some gps performance as it is so inconsistent it is hard to tell what may or may not work for you.

Moved to Q&A as not android development

I love di11igaffs roms and espyel roms they are better than stock froyo hands down id flash u wont be sorry

[Q] Can someone guide me which version of mod can I use for JV6

Hi guys!!!
I'm new to this forum and I'm still new to Android
I have tried a lot of modded ROM in my galaxy s but the luck of full arabic support is important to me, recently the new Firmware finaly come with Jpjv6 2.3.3, I have installed root and lagfix of JVO and it's work like a charm but modes like touchwiz 4 and tv animation didn't work on the JV6 I'm stuck in rebooting
is it hard to convert the modes from one to another version?
I would do it by my self but with some help from you guys

Just flash a custom ROM with Arabic support. There are quite a few in the development section...

Prasad007 thank you for your help I tried most of the roms in this forum like darky tweaky evo
but I just wanna these two mods TW4 and TV off animation I don't like too much modding
so is there any way to apply mod manually like to use root explorer to but specific files in the right place

You'll find several TW4 mod threads in development section. Each have their own specific instructions. Just search for the same and you'll find it! You should find CRT off animation as well...

[Q] Request to all developers!

Hi friends,
I am proud to join the SGN community. currently my phone is rooted, running on Ginger Bread, kernel version Abyssnote 4.2. Everything just works fine thankful to the developers for their great job and clear instructions. Well, let me not drag it anymore. Has any developer made MIUI ROM based on ICS designed for Galaxy Note? Because previously I used to own a Samsung I9000 and for that model, there was (and still is)a whole bunch of different ROMs with different modifications and tweaks and the list included some MIUI ROMs too which were really cool to look at and fun to use. I just love the themes and those animations on MIUI.After buying this new Samsung Galaxy Note I really hoped I could flash a MIUI based on ICS but unfortunately could't find one here on the forum. I hope my thread sparks some interest in all developers' minds and they come out with a cool ROM for all of us. Thank you for reading my thread patiently. Cheers

Hi Ranjan.Alva,
Thanks for the link to MIUI based on ICS. I am going to flash and see how it works on Galaxy Note.

I tried that ROM too...well, everything looks fine except that the inbuilt player won't play anything from the external memory card. Funny isn't it? What is the use of flashing a ROM if you have to depend on the internal memory all the time?....Any suggestions???
