Apologies if this has already been covered, i have searched beforehand i promise.
I have a a Galaxy running on Stock Gingerbread Firmware, and while it is slightly better than Froyo for lag issue, is nowhere near as fast as it was with OCLF oN Froyo. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 weeks before going even slower than before he fix so i removed it (after some messing about).
From what I have read, changing or patching the Kernel seems to be the best way to fix the lag issue, but there are so many different kernels from various developers, I really don't know where to start.
Can someone recommend a Kernel that will help fix the lag issue and get the phone working to it's full potential (it was lightning fast after I first installed the OCLF)?
I have installed firmware with Odin, rooted and installed OCLF previously, but that is about as far as I have messed about with my phone, so no expert. So if you can point in the direction of a guide to install too, that would be amazing (though i could probably find myself, once i know what Kernel i'm using)
This is the full details of model/firmware etc:
Model: I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernal: [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
Thanks in advance
**ok, just realised i posted thread in wrong forum, should have gone in Q & A, apologies. Unfortunately, can't delete or move**
Try semaphore 1.8.2bm, use ext4 app v1.3 to convert to ext4. Use acid tweak to remove journals from system and cache file systems. Set lmk to 56 mb, use screen sensitivity fix, use smartassv 2 and sio and you'll have a fast phone that is solid with great battery life, remove profiles from setcpu if used. I also use darkys zipalign script and 3g script, works really well
Edit
I'm using stock odexed jvt with custom theme, all Samsung bloatware removed.

Thanks have found the kernel will give it a try.
Since i posted, I have installed a SpeedMod Kernel CWM which i used to root and change to Ext4. I assume once i change back to rfs it is safe to try this kernel?

Thank you for your advixe, I have made of the suggested changes and it is running noticeably smoother and quadrant test up from 965 (without mod) to over 1600.
The only thing i haven't done is the Acid Tweak, I'm not sure exactly how to install this. I found the download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266715
Can you advise how i install this please?

I think you need to convert to RFS, then flash semaphore 1.8.2bm using SGS flasher (wipe cache & dalvik cache afterwards). One you are on Semaphore or Galaxian, you don't need to convert to RFS, simply flash!
Then use ext4 app V1.3 to convert to ext4.
I've uploaded acid tweaks zip file, apply this zip file from CWM.
Reboot, edit the /etc/system/init.d/*acid* script, comment out the line for the
/data file system. I have uploaded my acidtweak file.
Also uploaded extra scripts from here, there and everywhere. Please remove the ".txt" file extension and make the files executable. Probably best to try each file one at a time so you know the effect.
If you are running Semaphore 1.8.2bm, use smartassv2 and sio, and the sensitivity tweak, SD card tweak, I don't think you need any other tweaks, but you can try!
Note that the tuned gsp.conf file is for the UK, I normally get at least 8 satellites very quickly with an accuracy of 10m (sometimes 5m)
Note that the 56Mb script sets the LMK value to 56Mb and should run later on so overwrites the semaphore value (usually set to 48Mb or 64Mb)
Let me know if you need any help
Thanks for that. Though I think you may have overestimated my knowledge lol
So far, I have installed the Semaphore Kernal, Used Ext4 to change the filesystem to Ext4, Applied some of the mentioned tweaks in Semaphore such as Smartass2 etc.
I haven't cleared cache and dalvik, would it be safe to do this now? What does this do?
Now the part where I struggle:
I have no idea how to edit acidtweak file (though I did try applying the zip file and my phone would no longer boot, getting errors about not being able to mount data etc)
The uploaded scripts: I can remove the txt extension, but how do I make them executable? Do I then copy them to my phone and run them?
Once again, cheers

press three power button, enter recovery mode, choose apply zip file, choose acid tweak zip file. Reboot. You can now copy the acid tweak script into /system/etc/init.d and remove the . txt files in this directory will run when the phone boots. I use root explorer to make files executable, I think the free es explorer app may do the same.
You can copy the other files into this directory and enable then by making then executable. Long press on file, options, click on executable boxes (3 off)
If you are a noob, always best to backup /efs folder, you can do this with root explorer, long press on folder, copy, go to sd card, paste

Hi Everyone,
I got the SGS I9000 a few months ago and I must say I'm not particularly happy with the lagging at times.
I youtube'd some videos, but I'm really confused on the best method to use and which rom and lag fix I should use and how to install.
If anyone can help me that would be great, I have the Galaxy i9000.
Cheers
Search this is a repetition of multiple posts asking the same question .
Their is no best rom .
Simple method would be to read the faqs on this forum understand what you are doing first .
Rom Kitchen Faqs and build your own rom would be my first choice ,

I'd say Darky's ROM is the probably the most appropriate choice for beginners. It's one of the easiest to flash with just a few steps on Odin, and comes with the standard Voodoo lagfix.
The guide can be found here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
It is not the best ROM - that is a decision you have to make for yourself according to your own preferences - but it is easy to handle for first-timers and stable, and gets you to where you need (on a custom ROM) and with minimal fuss.
ROM Kitchen is good for those who want additional options for customization, but it's not recommended for beginners especially if they don't know what all the customization options refer to, and it's easy to run into problems of you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks very much for you help Madrenergic
I found an easy method to root my phone here on XDA using Super One Click. I then Installed OCLF from the market which worked a treat and made my phone allot faster.
I did some research and found that OCLF changes the file system to ext2, then I researched voodoo lagfix and found it changes them to ext4 to make the phone even faster, so I went ahead and downloaded the voodoo 5.5 zip file to transfer straight to my phone.
It says to put the file on the internal sd card which is what I thought I had done, but when I went into android recovery mode after selecting "reboot into recovery mode" from Clockwork Mod Recovery, it gives me the option to "apply sd card update.zip" which I selected but I got an error message saying it could not find the internal directory of my phone or the file is not available.
Any pointers?
Daft question, but did you rename it to "update"?
You could also try this, it's what I used the first time I started playing around with my phone: https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher
Make sure you make a back-up with this app before applying the update.
You picked a good kernel, it's the first one I used, and I was well impressed with the results. Make sure you grab the voodoo control app from the market, there's a free version and a donate version, it's worth getting the donate version, the devs on here deserve our support.
As always read everything through a couple of times until you're sure of what you're doing
I only have a folder called "SD" which is where I put the zip file and. I have allot of other folders when I connect to usb storage, but I put the file inside that sd folder not where all the other folders are located.
I also don't any option to mount the internal sd card.
Connect phone in USB Mass storage mode PC should show two drives copy file to Phone drive .

Ha... You have e2 recovery (or was it e3) eather way it cannot flash anything else than samsung brand firms.. Easiest is to download sgs kernel flasher from market and flash voodoo file "update.zip" you don't have to do anything else...

Take that file out of folder name "SD" and paste it to your sd-cards root.

Nope, judging by the screenshot you posted you have the update in the right place, just open kernel flasher and find the update, 3 pics attached.
Select back up kernel, when back up is complete select choose kernel, on pic 2 you see 2 dots above back up tap on the 2 dots, then you should see something like pic 3, scroll down to the bottom to find update and tap on it.
Job done, as far as I can remember
I agree. Darky's froyo 9.5 would be the perfect balanced mod. Though I would recommend Hardcore's Speedmod K13E kernel over Dark-core 1.4. The battery life was considerably higher with Speedmod, plus there are many more useful features, like headphone calling. Though I would agree, if you're a beginner, for now use Dark core, much easier to install, with less complicated features. You can always update to Speedmod later
Thanks everyone for your help. I ended up Using ODIN to install the voodoo update.
Everything is now much smoother to use and faster opening.
Only time anything is slow is straight after I have rebooted my phone, for example opening contact takes a few seconds after rebooting the phone, but then opens instantly after that.
For those STILL having GPS problems after trying to fix, go to bottom of post!! Included is a pic of a lock I was getting indoors with 17ft. accuracy.
So i've seen alot of people asking questions constantly about installing CM7, what is required to do so, and how to install all the fixes and different kernels. I'm hoping that by putting this thread up it will help anyone with questions so it will make installation and modification a breeze.
So first... You're going to need to pick up the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 7.
Here is the link to the thread on our forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061889
and here is a direct link to download the latest nightly:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=vibrantmtd
Currently the latest nightly is #69. (if you are curious to know what is changed in each nightly here is a link to the changelog: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd )
Copy the file to your internal sd card, then reboot into CWM. (If you don't have ClockworkMod installed, go to the market and download ROM Manager, then once installed open the program and install ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant MTD.
Once in CWM, just flash the zip file as you normally would anything else (go to Install ZIP from sd card, then choose ZIP and find the file, then hit yes to update)
Once done you should have successfully installed CM7, reboot and wait for the phone to load up.
At this point the install is done, and you can enjoy CM7, but unfortunatly your GPS won't work and battery life will be horrible... so now you must install the fixes.
First, download the Kernel. You can use either Bali-X found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181167
or Glitch, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
For The Glitch Kernel there are 3 different versions. LL, ML, or HL. To be on the safe side HL is usually the most stable for people.
Download whichever kernel you please and also copy that to your phones internal sd card.
Next download the Kernel Cleaning Script, direct link to download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=628968&d=1308402560
Now after you've downloaded the kernel you wanted and the cleaning script, your also going to want the GPS fix, direct link to thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172428
First lets fix the GPS before applying the kernel, here is a quick step by step:
GPS Fix! Update 7/30
Download the GPSFIX2.ZIP file and GPSD.ZIP file located at the bottom of my post (Make sure you unzip the file) and copy it to your SD card
2)Download a root file explorer like Root Explorer (not free) or ES File Explorer (free) in the market. If you use ES File explorer you must do the following to be able to change the system files:
FOR THOSE USING ES FILE EXPLORER
Open up ES File Explorer, in there hit your Menu key, then go to Settings.
Scroll down to till you see "Root Settings".
Under there you will see Root Explorer and Mount File System, check both of them, then hit the back button.
4)Once in the file manager, go to your root directory then go here: (if you know how to use file explorer or ADB you can simply copy the files to the corresponding locations and restart the phone if not keep following)
Go to the GPSFix2 folder on your SD card, then go to /data/gps/ and copy secgps file
Now go to to your phones root directory, and go to /data/gps and paste the secgps file in there
5)Now there are two other files to copy:
Go to the GPSFIX2 folder, then go to /system/bin/ and copy the AGPSD file
Go to the phones root directory and go to /system/bin/ and paste the AGPSD file in that directory
Lastly, go back to the GPSFIX2 folder, and go into /system/etc/ and copy the GPS file
Go to the phones root directory again, and go to /system/etc/ and paste the GPS file in there!
6)Now we need to copy the file from GPSD.ZIP (Make sure to unzip the file!!)
Copy the file from the GPSD folder, into: \system\vendor\bin\ the same way you did the other GPS Fix files.
7)Download AngryGPS file located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=657133&d=1310879457
8) Install ANGRYGPS.APK, once installed go to your apps and open up AngryGPS. Go to:
Settings - General Settings - Change Operation Mode from MSBASED to STANDALONE. Once done, hit the home key.
As long as you've copied all the files, restart your phone and try things out!
Now your GPS should be working, but we still need to install the new kernel. Hopefully you've downloaded one of the two kernels listed above and copied them to your internal zip folder.
Finally, lets apply the kernel. Hold your power key and hit reboot phone, then a menu will appear, to either reboot or recovery, hit recovery (duh!).
Once in recovery you are going to want to apply the Kernel Cleaner script first. Go to apply update from zip, then choose zip file, then choose the kernel cleaner script... Once you've done that, go to choose zip again, and choose your kernel. DO NOT REBOOT INBETWEEN THIS PROCESS!!!!!
Let the kernel install, once done go ahead and reboot the phone.
If all went well within about 5 minutes your phone should be up and running again.
The last thing your going to need to do is install GAPPS, since CM7 obviously comes with none. You'll notice you have no market.
Here is the latest GAPPS, The zip is a flashable file through ClockWorkMod. Just go into clockwork, and find zip and install it like you did the rom and kernel. Reboot and you will have your market and GApps back.
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERVOLTING
You have to follow the instructions for either Glitch or Bali kernel here. SetCPU will NOT work for Glitch, and Voltage Control will NOT work for Bali.
OPTIONAL FOR GLITCH KERNEL (Bali below)
If you want to adjust CPU Voltage AND/OR Clock Frequency you are going to need to download VOLTAGE CONTROL from the Market. It is free as well. Make sure you use Voltage Control. Other cpu programs have been reported to have problems from what i've read.
If you are not sure what you are doing, then ask!
Here is my voltage control settings, this seems to be the best for stability:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975
200: 950mv -75mv = 875
100: 950mv -100mv = 850
OPTIONAL FOR BALI KERNEL
You must install SetCPU, which is available from the market, but is not free.
You can also download it here directly from for FREE, copy it to your SD Card and install the apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=648354&d=1310073004
I'm not sure of good overclocking/undervolt settings on the Bali kernel as I haven't fooled around with it more than to know that it works well with CM7.
**If someone has fooled with it please post up some results so I may put them here for recommendations.**
KNOWN ISSUES
Currently the Glitch V11 has a bug where the keyboard can pop up on random occasions. This will be fixed in V12. It's not a big deal.
Replacement Camera
In my post i've includedthe MIUI Camera APK.
You can just copy the MIUICamera.apk file to your SD card and install it. You will be able to use both the MIUI camera and the stock camera. The only problem is the video recorder of the MIUI camera doesn't record 720p. For that switch to the AOSP camera.
Hopefully taking some time to write this up can help alot of you follow a straight set of instructions instead of having to bounce around and look from topic to topic on what to do.
I'll continue to check on this thread and make sure if anyone has any questions I will try to help and answer them.

You can do the GPS fix whenever you please. Just remember that everytime you flash a new nightly of CM7 you're going to have to apply the GPSD file again... Everytime you flash a new nightly it wipes all the old system data, GPSD is unfortunatly one of the casualties.
What program are you using for adjust your CPU frequency? You should be using this:
-Voltage Control : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731
If you want to gain more battery life you shouldn't be increasing to 1.2GHz, that will not help your battery life any.
If anything leave it at the stock 1GHz frequency and apply undervolt to the processor... of course you will have to do some testing because undervolting can cause stability and lockup/reboots.
Here are my undervolt settings, so far no locks-up on this combo for about a week now:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400mv
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350mv
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225mv
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150mv
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975mv
200: 950mv -75mv = 875mv
100: 950mv -100mv = 850mv
Im running High Leak, using this daily at 1300mhz no problems yet... Running a good movie on your phone, like an mkv file will really let you know if your settings are stable.. I've found undervolting anything over the stock freq. doesn't seem to be stable.
Does this help you any??
if i flash a custom kernel, bali for example, i need to do something else to flash a new version of cm7?
thanks
No, you can install a kernel on whatever nightly of CM7 you want. It's just best to have the latest nightly. I do remember hearing some of the earlier nightlys of CM7 like lower 30's were having trouble with different kernels...
Just remember that if you flash a new nightly you will have to fix the GPS and Kernel again though.
Everytime you update to a new nightly it deletes everything unfortunatly.

thanks for doing this!
quick question, when I try deleting the old GPSD file in order to move the new one it says I can not delete the file, then when I try to overwrite it, ES file explorer says I can not move the GPSD file. How exactly am I supposed to replace the old file with the new? I already have angry GPS installed and I also have installed the bali kernel. I've heard good things about bali and battery life so Im hoping it helps out, cause I've always had bad experience with battery life unless I shut off data. Any suggestions for good settings to use for bali?

So I've been having a problem with my phone that I've never had before. My cache is almost always filled and I'm having issues downloading updates from Market. The file size range can be anything from 100k to 23MB and it refuses to update. Sometimes booting in CWM and clearing cache works, sometimes it doesn't. I looked around and found a cache size changing script from the I9K forums, but that also doesn't work. So my questions are:
1) Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, what did you do to fix it?
2) Are there way to actually change the cache size? Either via CWM or I think I remember something about a pit file.
3) If I can't find a solution, does anyone know if any other the custom roms have changed the size of the cache to anything larger then 25mb which is the stock Samsung limit
And if there's already a thread with the answer, please point me to it. I searched prior and everything was about dalvik cache, which is not my issue.
Here is a post by Kyuta Syuko which includes all links for the captivate cache info.
I use the init.d script and it works great (also works for others too). Did you set the permessions on the script? Look over here for an init.d cwm script package that includes the cache scrpit. Disregard the other two scripts (S98screenstate_scaling and S98system_tweak) in the zip if ur not interested in them, simply delete them from the zip before flashing. Follow the steps to be taken after flash in the link. Cheers
I actually have the init.d script but it doesn't work for me. And I'm certain Cog4 has init.d support as there are already other scripts in there that I did not put there myself.
Don't know about cog4 (froyo rom if I'm correct), but the script works great on talon/darkcore + i9k based gb roms (tested on jvq/s/t).

Yes it is Froyo. And after some more tinkering with adb, I got the script to work. Had to comment out a line. I finally have a cache thats USABLE. Thanks guys.
Cool, glad u figured it out
I have been looking through the recent ICS threads and people have had alot of out of memory problems, so I thought I would post this easy to understand tutorial (well I hope it will be easy to understand)
Before starting, on Miroslav's Project Icecream Swift, you need to download busybox installer and install version 1.18.2, busybox included will not correctly determine minfrees.
First download the latest version of V6 at the end of this post, then copy it to your SD card and run it with Script Manager (from the market).
Choose your prefered scrolling speed and in the latest version its pretty much automated, you just have to say yes no a few times but it will auto detect the best settings based on the RAM of the device.
Also do not superclean and reboot, we need to do something else before we reboot.
Ensure you have a file explorer that can view the /system partiton before continuing.
On your phone browse to http://android.mimic.ca
Then click browse and choose your file explorer, and find services.jar in /system/framework then upload it.
After this the site will modify the services.jar and offer a download for it, to make it easy lets just use the update.zip so select that and download it.
Using the stock browser atleast it will go to /sdcard/download.
After this reboot to recovery, scroll to mounts and storage and mount /system manually (when I did not do this it didn't write the modified file) then install the zip.
Wipe dalvik cache and reboot, first boot will take a long time while its upgrading applications then run the V6 supercharger script to confirm you are 100% supercharged and you have your hard to kill or die hard launcher.
Note: On AOKP (atleast this version) because it doesn't have init.d (think its that one) before you first reboot to install services.jar you will need to browse in script manager to /data and find the 99SuperCharger.sh file and make it run on boot to get 100% supercharged.
I don't know if its important but every new rom I use I repatch services.jar just to be safe.
Any questions post here (also if the file doesn't download let me know and I'll upload it and post the link.)
Recovery zips for AOKP and Icecream Swift services.jar can be found below, just mount /system manually and i"nstall zip from sdcard" sorry it took a bit
For me i just use swap works good enough
For me not. Even if i use swap when i try to use gplay and listen music, music app closes itself. (Miro's latest ron)

Thats because swap is not technically used as RAM, what it does is suspends background apps using up RAM, then puts that state in to swap, the apps cannot run from the swap partition, so if you are listening to music and using the browser you will notice this, if you have twitter open, then open a link from a twitter post, the state of twitter gets pushed to the swap partition, to allow the browser to open and run, you then close the browser and it pulls twitter from the swap partition back to RAM giving the illusion of multitasking.
V6 actually gives multitasking by making sure android does not close apps when you have a fair amount of RAM left.

Don't know why but everytime i try to use the script with latest miroslav ICS i got an exception when try to appy supercalculator minfrees then a reboot.
With latest version of the script i can see original minfrees= "1,1,1,1,1,1,1" and when i try to apply new one = Poof! reboot!
Did you installed another busybox or something?... This rom without the script sucks in multitasking matter. (open one app and the others will be closed, is monotasking )

I'll check it on new version of miro's rom tonight when I charge my phone (battery is dead right now) but I normally use the default busybox, it could be that the default has been changed on this rom, download busybox installer from the market and try a version on there, they are all complete so should have no problems on that end, lemme know if it still doesn't work.

My issue was cause by the minfrees calculated by supercalculator (option 10). Using option 2 is ok but, still have 9-5mb free and if i open 2 apps -> one of them close itself (and like you said, swap does't help with that)... so i have to go back to sdsl 2.0 :/

Ok I just resupercharged my phone running miroslav's rom, and I did see your problems, I fixed it downloading busybox installer and using busybox version 1.18.2 and it will detect your minfrees.
Also updated OP with this info and the patched services.jar files.

I did this, but when i run the script for second time to confirm if it worked, it says:
Launcher is DIE-HARD! ie. SUPERCHARGED
but after says:
OOM Grouping Fixes ARE NOT in Effect
...
Current values DON'T MATCH Prior SuperCharge!
this means that didn't worked???
I use miroslav last update 20/05/12

Did you use busy box installer to install busy box or are you just using the version pre installed? The CM9 one will not work with V6.

Using root explorer check /system/etc/init.d and see if there is a supercharger script in there.
If not try supercharging again, reboot and check, if its still not working find the 99supercharger.sh script and select "run on boot" and reboot, it should work after this.

Before you select "run on boot" just try to supercharge again, something could have messed up a little when you applied the minfrees, init.d scripts should run on boot anyway.

I have applied V6 Supercharge on this IceCreamSwift ROM. If I do Wipe Data/Factory Reset, do I need to apply V6 again?
Yes
So I've tried flashing a couple of the kernels around that everyone else seems to have no problem with. I just flash the regular way using TWRP bu then after it boots, about 15 seconds after sense loads, it reboots. And it'll just loop like this. Any ideas how I could fix this?
Wipe cache/dalvik

Thanks for the response. I've tried that a few times to no avail unfortunately.
How about a full wipe>flash rom>wipe dalvik/cache>flash kernel

Most kernels nowadays have mpdecision/thermal support in them. If the kernel that you're flashing has this support, you need to delete/rename these files from your system/bin directory BEFORE flashing. I use ES File Explorer, but any root file manager should do the trick. Leaving these files in the system AND flashing a kernel that has them can cause unusual behavior/reboots. You can also check if your rom has init.d support.......this is a folder in your system/etc directory. It contains scripts that run after boot and sets various parameters for controlling different aspects of your phone. The cpu min/max clock speed and sd card read ahead are two of the most common ones. If that folder is there, check for any scripts that set values for your cpu and rename them with a .bak extension. Also, make sure you don't have any cpu tweaking apps installed that could conflict with each other........such as Kernel Tuner and SetCpu. Make sure you check for ALL of these possible issues prior to flashing. Of course there could be other things causing reboots, but the above mentioned steps will most likely solve them for you. (especially if other user's are not reporting any reboots) Hope you get to the bottom of this and can start enjoying your new toy.
>>If you're unsure about any scripts in the init.d folder, just make a copy of it and upload here. I would be happy to help you out.
