Hello. I have recently flashed my phone with darky's. I got very disappointed mainly because of battery drainage and I switched to Doc's Custom Cooked ROM from romkitchen.org
My MAIN problem with Galaxy S is that after about 15 reboots (NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE) I get the force close loop and everything goes straight to hell. All my apps are invalidated and nothing works anymore. I am tired of flashing and reflashing my phone. I just want to USE IT, NOT WASTE TIME FIXING IT!
I kindly ask for a solution on this forum. I would also like to say that I have applied the "/system corruption problem" but this didn't work at all.
I am eagerly waiting for an answer. Currently there are 2 sollutions:
1 - Solve this damn problem
2 - Throw SGS to trash can and buy an iPhone
Please help!
Just flash with the stock v2.2.1. Use your phone...
If you go with a custom rom, you gotta expect issues.

To be honest with you, it might just be your phone...I've flashed countless times and not had a bootloop in months. Try doing a factory reset and start from scratch from either Darky or Doc's ROM

+1 to that.
If you really want a custom rom with good battery... I'd recommend a clean 2.2.1 JPY flash and then Darky's 8.0/8.1 . The battery life is much better in those versions. I get ~1%/hr drain at night with Darky 8.1 vs ~3% with 9.2
I have recently tried Insanity 0.6.1 and find it very good. It actually doesn't have all that bloatware from Samsung and therefore it has more stability! I have been using it for a day. Given ~ 20 restarts and no problems. I hope everything is going to be allright. I'll report back in a couple of days or as soon as it gets problems.
Hi at all,
after several try , i m actually on a stock gb rom JV1 a bit modded by me.
everything is really nice, GPS ultra fast battery not so bad perf are good.
i had before that tryed a lot of roms, but always get issues with gps not taking signal, or things like that.
i m thinking goin back on froyo, bacause got some annoying bugs (phone lagging as hell when i use orange radio, sometimes after a tel conversation i just cannot open phone screen won't turn on, and some reboot / fc.).
The problem is i m almost happy with this rom, and because it s ginger with 3 recovery, i cannot back up it, or i don t know how.
Could you give me some advices ???
-should i got back to froyo with a CWM working to test/backup all romsuntil find one good.
-should i stay with the little issues i have until official GB rom ?
-or do you have a trick to backup up my GB, test froyo and restore it if not happy ???
Thanks at all for your experiences returns, the gps is really my problem with foryo rom, even with the stock one.
should i stay with the little issues i have until official GB rom
personally i would wait and whilst waiting read the varying GPS faqs and posts and try some of the fixes .

I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

Can I do anything related to the hardware? I mean how can i check if it is not giving 100%?

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.
I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.
Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?
Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Did you try the ics roms. These r pretty fast..specially team icssgs.

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...
yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Yeah, and you can just use the ATK widget when you close out of something press the icon and it kills all the background apps...
I will surely try ATK and ICS roms as per your suggestions...

keep us updated...
Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

Perhaps you should try the ICSSGS RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC Kernel. I'm on it and its awesome, my phone lags no more and I'm using it for my primary phone.

Anyone facing issues with random auto restart while using this Rom
I need a solution for this..
It worked fine for me, however I never got the google sync to work. You should make sure that no scripts are installed and check your performance settings. (Smartav2 with max 806 and min 245 are most stable settings)

Yes, I came to know about the google sync issues by reading the development forum for this rom. I am ok with that part as its not a full version rom..
but I cant understand why it keeps auto restarting my phone?? really annoying on such an awesome rom.
And ya, wish you could explain how to make sure no scripts are installed....
yeah ,
same with me,
automatically random restart after play games and even connect mass storage.
don't know why,
btw this rom very2 awesome,i like it

Known bug if you have apps installed on SD Card. Just wait for the final release because the MIUI is currently on RC2 meaning it still has bugs. It's currently functional and beautiful now. You just have to cope up to the small bugs you encounter.
MIUI launcher eat too much ram, go to option-launcher setting untick high quality grapics and icon shadow for better performance. if you use darktremor try to move data to sd, i've using for 3 days and never had random reboot.
Well I don't get that prob but restart is because the ace is out of memory....(RAM)
My prob is that I can't ecept calls only call other pepz com.android.phone crashes
I've tried
wiping data,bat,delvik,cach
Flashing gb from odin then flash miui
installing other phone apk's from other cm7's (flashing it from recovery)
chansing to all the baseband's possbile (including ddkq8)
PLEZ HELP ME!!!!!!!

2 what should I chanse it if tried 120dpi and ofcorce stock 160
Some glitches
Luv the visuals in this ROM
Bt there are a few glitches as well and maybe i think the dev must be currently working on that too..
Here are some of them:
There is a major lag time when u rotate the phone (auto-rotate time is quite large)
Many a times when trying to remove SD..phone restarts
Custom themes have problem on the lockscreens (full view is not visible)
Bootanimation doesnt change at all...
The best thing i like about this ROM is that u can select as many no. of recipients for sending messages..a huge like
And several of other ROMs have that smiley in place of [Enter] button..but this one is perfect
Though i wud like the dev to add the feature of replying to contacts directly from call log
Anyways, hats off to the dev for building a gud ROM!!

Can the messaging app of this ROM be used in other CM7.2 ROMs as well??
Coz i successfully used music and compass of miui in Miracle v4 but when i try using mms.apk of this into that..it force closes..
Plz tell me a way to do that (if there is any) coz i luv the messaging thing of this ROM
waiting for update
When it will be?
i had this Rom and it never reset my phone bit it did freeze alot so i am back on stock Rom now iv had nothing but trouble flashing custom roms so iv decided to stick to original firmware it works for me

I'm currently on a buggy minicm7 2.2.0. I'm suspecting the culprit of the bugs is my SD card(A2SD). I'm thinking of re-installing everything from scratch, but then again, there is the good looking minicm9 ics.
So my question is, should I upgrade to minicm9? (I don't have much time to check it myself for trial and error so I'm asking here for your opinions.)
Please convince me why should I do so. Are there any significant functionality that is available on cm7 that is not on cm9? Significant performance drop on games?(though I don't play on my x8 nowadays)
Thanks!
If u use ur pohone day to day and record videos or watch videos from youtube u should use MiniCm7 2.2.0
If not then MiniCm9 is ok if u supercharge it and install this add on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187
so it no flash support? Hmmm.. I guess it's fine...

Not Working:
HW Video encoding / decoding
Hi, I tried minicm9.. at first it was cool, even refreshing..
The UI feels revamped, system settings cleaned, messaging better, default launcher is beautiful and it really felt like wonderful..
But after some time of using it, I found it laggy, just opening drawer takes about 1 or 2 seconds, it often restarts, and it also restarts when I try to overclock to over 748MHz (this also happened in minicm7)..
I just felt down, I really like the new feel but the performance was not as good as minicm7, I really hope it gets to a point that it is at par with minicm7
i would suggest you stick with minicm7 2.2.0 cos the minicm9 is extrremely laggy,constant force closing,and its got a crazy battery drain.i flashed minicm9 but reverted to minicm7 cos of the bugs.i feel naa will be working on an update for the minicm9 with fixed bugs ,until then just stick with minicm7 cos most people are reverting to it already.
pls give me a thanks if its helpfull.cos i am a new member.so i can post more comments
I say go with cm9, I flashed it 2 days ago and Im loving it, yes it is not stable yet but it is quite ok, there is a bit lag but you can always install resized apps and v6 supercharger
If u need to use ur phone to watch video daily,either from your phone,or internet,then you should stick with MiniCM7,but if you want something new,try out MiniCM9,i'm using MiniCM9 right now,and i'm happy with it
Advantages of MiniCM9:
-Android 4.0 (ICS)
-Fast Wifi Connection (really2 fast)
-UI just like Galaxy Nexus ( i love it very2 much)
Disadvantages/bug of MiniCM9:
-video not working
-Speaker sound not so good,can use FIX from here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2g7-UiU2/MiniCM9_Audio_Fix.html
-Quite laggy scrolling,can improve by flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187
#as said above you can also use supercharged,i might do it later,but right now i can said it is table for daily use like sms,call,internet,listen to radio,etc...if you have problem in MiniCM9,don't forget to read FAQ first,hope this help you to decide

craaaaazy, ne?
(skip ahead to the end of the post)
MiniCM9 lags as hell, I'll keep the MiniCM7 until the 9 improves.
I personally dont go to ICS due limitations of our hardware.We will never can have full feature of ICSFace unlocked,for example
I had to revert to cm7 based rom...gingerdx to be specific because minicm9 is still laggy, it do not support games and freezes all the time. TO me the biggest culprit was the video playback..its only good enough to show it off to your friends. but im eagerly waiting for full working version...... And there is minicm10 out already.. Its lightweight and smooth..but Both ROMs are similar in performance. you can try it out as well.
Help me!!!

just flash the ROM kernel (nAa, JB, ICS,,,,) and flash the ROM by CWM
'what type of error?
minicm9 is and always will be laggy and slower than minicm7 due to hardware limitations so why bother i have tried almost every rom in here and all are the same at first they are fast and nice but after a while they become slower and laggy so i think a lost my hope

if still the 2nd post above me solution does not work, first flash to stock firmware, flash the gingerbread kernel (alfs, naa) first, format /system, /cache, /data, flash the ics kernel of naa, and again, format /system,/cache,/data, if still, maybe haven't installed the right drivers for your x8, so go into the root directory of your Flashtool then go to drivers, you can manually install the drivers required by your device there for sure
Cm7
I would suggest you to stay on Cm7 cause it is more stable, less laggy, better performances and battery life.
Tried both MiniCM7 and MinCM9 and I must admit ICS is not for our device..:crying:.It lags most of the time and is very unstable.....I would rather recommend MiniCM10 over MiniCM9 any day....:good:but MiniCM7 is bug-less, stable and is for daily use......:highfive:
I would recommend CM7 if you expect performance out of your phone..... but if you need to be on latest androids CM 10 is good.....
But CM9 is very less stable in x8 it keeps on hanging and apps force closes.... CM10 is much better.

Thank you for the post. I was going to post similar question regarding good choices for daily use and just found it.
Mini CM9 is my first try and here are some info on my experience:
I was long time planning using a custom ROM/Kernel and my first choice was Mini CM9, because of all of its features and beautiful look. As other users mentioned, it was running VERY good for a while (maybe the first 2 or 3 days after an install or new install). Anyway, every time (I reinstalled it twice) it gets laggy and I get a lot of "Not responding" messages (Trebuchet and other apps). I've even lost some calls because of "Phone Activity" freezing.
Plus, I could not use wirelless networks using a public hot-spot with sign-in needed. Wireless networks always worked good while using Stock ROM/Kernel, by the way.
CM9 seems to be a very good ROM but, considering my own experience, it should not be for daily use as it was not as stable as I was expecting.
I am preparing my X8 to install a more stable Kernel/ROM and, If you guys excuse me, I would to ask you about the Mini CM7 and GingerDX ROMs. Please, if you tried both or even GingerDX only, let me know how was it.
Thank you guys! I'll let you know about my new ROM/Kernel choice as soon as I decide which one to install.
