I am new to sgs (bought yesterday ), yesterday I have installed darky's rom v10 rc5.3.
I have read that on sgs u have to change the kernel to apply an undervolting, so i was looking for a right kernel to do this...but it seems that there are no stable kernels compatible with gingerbread with the uv capabilities, is that true?
thanks
One needs to ask Darky about his rom .
Remember Gingerbread is BETA so far .
jje
thank you, perhaps i'll go back to 2.2.1
keep on ginger
Gingerbread is a more elaborate rom, in general it works much better than any froyo rom, not to mention the battery usage. I was using gingerbread stock beta 2.3.3, and from yesterday on, gingerbread 2.3.3 ColdMod.
Yesterday I went back to 2.2.1 (darky 9.5) and I didn't see any great difference with 2.3.3 (just the browsing experience while loading pages), the main reason for this going back is trying undervolting kernel and also that for the moment there's not italian swype (that i much appreciate). Anyway thanx for the advice
Have you a problem of battery drain?
Hello there,
i am searching for the best combination of KERNEL+FIRMWARE for my Galaxy S GT-I9000. Now i have odexed JVQ+CF-Root, it works great (better than with Speedmod with EXT4, even if the Chainfire has 700 quadrant points less), but i think it can be better and the GPS doesn't working/finds satelites in more than 5 minutes.
I want something almost stock (maybe deodexed), without themes or stupid apps, that works very fast, and all the things working (auto-brightness cand be excepted). In fact, i want the best kernel + firmware + maybe a rom that have the maximum speed,stability and almost all things works.
Thanks.
Try the latest galaxian kernel, use ext4, very fast & responsive, blue tooth now working, can OC/UV, very low android overhead, good battery, I've tried all kernels!
I Use stock jvq, jkay theme, zeam,apps organiser for fast minimalist phone, nothing too fancy, just works really well

I was using Simply Honey 3.9 JVQ with Galaxian Kernal and was very impressed. But wanting to try other Roms out (I have tried many) I am now on EXTRAordinary 3.2 JVQ and have never had such a fast phone! Very quick to load up, lightening response and so far NO FORCE CLOSES!
I did have a bit of trouble flashing it. I tried going straight from Simply Honey 3.9 to EXTRAordinary 3.2 but got stuck boot up. I flashed back to stock JVQ with ODIN 1.7, Then Flashed CF Root Kernal and finally rebooted into CWM and flashed the EXTRAordinary Rom. Worked perfectly after this method. Plus it comes WITH Galaxian Kernal!
Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.
Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?
Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.
As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.
I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.
What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?
I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.
Roms i have tried are:
Juwe
Darky
Simply Honey
Galnet
Stock (obviously)
and now EXTRAordinary
I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.
How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?
I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.
Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.
Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.
Haven't tried darky's.
blockbuster 2.4.5
Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).
I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.

i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.
Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..
T
Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:
GINGERREAL latest
MIUI 2.3.4
Extraordinary 3.2
Juwe 5.0, 5.1
Blockbuster latest
Simply honey latesr
Cm7
Darky 10.1
So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.
At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.
The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.
Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.
Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Ive tried lots of them,have to say that EDB 1.3 with galaxian kernel is good all around.Very good battery life.
Forget all that is cm,darky etc..
How did you go about installing the ROM with galaxien kernel?, because EDB 1.3 Darky 2.8 Kernel
I tried edb and far estraordinary rom with galixien kernel is the fastest.

lets just say that im not that fond of darky thingys.
I have tried Tiramisu Evo 6.5 Juwe's Smart Edition 5.2 and EXTRAordinary JVQ 2.3.4
Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....
Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.
Darky rom (JVP or JVQ) with dark core kernel is fastest
Try GingerCriskeloV77 mate, I hopped from one ROM to another and stopped at this one. This is based on semaphore kernal. Had bluetooth issue but resolved with new semaphore kernal 1.3.2 Cheers
Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.
Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...
Hey Guys,
First off, I love XDA and everything you all have done to improve my phones! Long time reader (from the WinMo 5 days!), but unfortunately I never have much to contribute. Hopefully this post will change things.
I have a Captivate which was running great... until I decided to EXT4 the whole thing. Then in the past 18 hours I had a bootloop (installed Voodoo then Glitch Kernel on Stock Eclair, bad move) and built a jig as the 3- or 2- button combo's were not working . My phone is fine now, I have Stock Sammy TW 2.3.3 from AT&T running (even though this is a Rogers phone.)
What I Want From My Captivate:
- Root
- CWM 4x
- exfat4 on EVERYTHING (Voodoo/Supercurio's fix only fixed either /data or /system. I can't remember which, though the Quadrant score was 1770 on Stock Sammy Froyo)
- Running Glitch Kernel v11 Low Leakage (I found my phone to be the fastest and most stable on Glitch. Bali switched my volume buttons and SpeedMod was ok...)
- MIUI 1.8.19 or CM7. I'd prefer MIUI, the messaging popup is awesome, though I prefer the settings menu in CM7.
- Voodoo Sound/Color
- Launcher Pro (sidenote: too bad I can't create folders in the App Drawer )
- Battery life of more than 5-6 hours!!
Questions / How To:
1) I cannot root my GB with Super One Click. I'm thinking of Odin'ing to Froyo, Rooting.
2) How do I install CWM 3 or 4x on stock and just root? Odin? I found this but in which place do I put the package (PDA, Boot, etc.)
3) Do I install Voodoo, convert to exfat4, then Glitch? Or should I update Voodoo, install MIUI, then Glitch Kernel??
4) After installing exfat4, Can I just do Nandroid backup of my data, which will be installed as exfat?
5) Is Voodoo Sound installable is a kernel even when I have Glitch installed?
6) My battery life does not last past 5-6 hours!!! Terrible! I got this phone instead of my BB9700 as a straight-up trade and the Cappy has 10 months warranty left. Should I send it to Sammy?
Thanks in advance!

First off you can find ALL of this information on xda. Search and read. Ginger bread does not have a 1 click root, you can how ever use this thread for the rooting method on KF1, just for rooting. As for CWM its a kernel usually just stick it in pda. On the Voodoo your out of luck on native gingerbread roms since KF1 kernel has not drooped, however, you can have ext4 format with Cognition 5 and Atomic fusion if you know what you are doing. MIUI and Cyanogen have their own instructions on wich kernel and what not, BUT if your poor battery life is on these roms then they are the culprit since its a bug they have. I average anywhere from 12-30 hours of battery life dependent on usage on KF1 gingerbread roms, Ive been averaging about 16-45 hours with my current clock/voltage settings.
I would recommend you do research on KF1 Gb roms or I9000's ported ones and stay away of Miui or Cyanogen till they fix their battery, if having a long day without a charge is part of your life. Again search and read my friend =)
Haha his search button is broken, thts his excuse!

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!

MIUI mint berry and via rom toolbox clocked into 1,3ghz
I´m on JVZ with Semaphore 2.1.1 and overclocked CPU (1300 mhz). This motor is fast, stable and smooth.
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.
