my 10 day old galaxy s is very laggy!!! it is rooted too.. can anyone help me please and can someone tell me how do i unroot... i rooted with chainfire's cf-root.. thanks
If you find it laggy now, unrooting it would probably be the wrong step to take, as root is required for the majority of modifications you can do to your phone.
Overclocking your phone will provide you with more performance. I would also recommend checking out Pikachu01's scripts, as they will help immensely. Also, make sure none of your apps are monopolizing your CPU in the background.
I'm sure others will have a ton more advice to give. Tweak your phone to work how you want it and you'll be more than pleased, I guarantee it. My SGS certainly does not lag on me, but it did take a little tweaking to get it there. Good luck!
If you want someone to help you, you need to provide more information. What version of firmware are you currently running?

First of all thank you everyone for your time...
yes my galaxy s is very laggy and im using
Firmware: 2.3.3 (updated by kies)
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I Know unrooting will make lag more but i want to know a solution for unrooting in case i need my warranty back....
Upgrade to 2.3.6 JVZ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Root with Semaphore 2.1.1 JVZ here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
Follow all instructions on how to flash in first link. There are screenshots and intructions on How to Flash. Notes: Use the 512pit file, and when you flash semaphore, put it in the PDA section. Put phone in Download mode, power down completely, and press power, home and volume down.
If you want your phone fast and lag free then you may have to step outside your comfort zone. You will not find a magic app to make your current firmware fast, its just not. The links Ive given you have downloads and info on how to make your phone fast and lag free. The first link will even contain a download of your current firmware. To find out exactly what your current firmware is, including PDA, Phone and CSC, open up your dialer and press *#1234#, write that info down it will be helpful for you identifying what to download in case you want to flash back to stock for warranty purposes.

My friend also said his lagged after rooting, there is a unrooting script
Just download Semaphore or TalonDEV kernel AND Thunderbolt scripts that you need.
Unrooting shall accomplish nothing. You need a new kernel and scripts/tweaks like Thunderbolt has.

NO i don't want to unroot but i want to know if there is a possibility to do it... I son't want to flash other kernels because my phone is 10 days old (11)) i just want it to become like when i purchased it.. thanks you guys for your support and your time...
You won't lose your warranty because of root. Samsung does not care if phone is rooted or not. Just like the others say : download a custom firmware with custom kernel and use pikachus thunderbolt scripts.
This is the only way to help you
To unroot you just have to flash the stock firmware that came with your phone (you can see a list in SamMobile site). Easier way if you just want to unroot is to flash stock kernel (unrooted one).
If you just want to phone to its original state when you bought it. Then power it down. Then hold power, home, and volume up all together. This will put you into recovery mode. Do a wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone. If you're still not satisfied with your phone then also reformat your internal usb under settings> storage. You will lose all info on your phone so do a back up of important data. This is where root is good because you can use titanium backup. After reset your phone will however still be rooted.... But you won't be even close to unleashing the real full potential of your phone unless you upgrade your firmware and kernals with Thunderbolt.

Gingerbread has always been laggy due to lack of ram. If you want a really good and absolutely lag-free rom, I really recommend that you flash your phone to Froyo 2.2.1 (ZSJPK). It has been the best rom I've used, compared to JVT, JVZ, AOSP ICS roms, and a bunch of other custom roms.
Agree about GB, its best if you remove all the Samsung bloatware and services, and try not to use apps that use up RAM via services.
I use stock jvt with all the bloat removed, a nice theme, and semaphore 2.4.0 bm and it runs very well. I do have to freeze facebook when not in use, but it makes a difference. I also tuned ext4

Well why don't you flash a custom rom, there are plenty of them with amazing speeds and you shud try them, also you can simply use a lag fix like the one from voodoo if you don't want to get into the rome and stuff.
another question guys.. i have 2.3.3.. i tried to update ( through kies) but it says i'm up to date.. because the thunderbolt kernel requires minimum 2.3.4, how do i update it???
Hello
When i bought my phone i loved it so much
Until the Phone start laggggging :banghead:
But after a while i installed my first custom rom the ANTONIOMESTRETTA KK9 v2 and then i found another rom called ROCKET ROM they said it is very fast (and it is and i decided to keep with the this rom until v22
And then after a while i started to hate my phone. . i change my phone's rom everyday
And sometimes every hour like today i switched to DARKYROM 3.4.1 and after that for one hour i switched to ics because now in GB there is a problem that when i downlad anything From opera browser and open it say
(ERROR IN OPENNING THE OMC FILE ) i think thst this problem is from the ics leaks.

I love my Note it is the best android device around (trust me), I am sorry yours started to lag but then again if you start to install lots of programs and random apps it will do this (just a guess you might have unlucky).
I have tried most of the ROMs manly for testing for my linuxonandroid project, and tbh found stock to be the best for me I just love the Spen features (Although stunner in tablet UI is just well stunning).
Correctly I am on the German ICS with root via mobile odin pros everoot and I love it but it will be nice once the bricking issues are sorted for sure.
I recommend a clean install and not using titanium or any other app to restore apps, just re download those you need and I have never had any lag
I have my Note from 1 week now, and i flash a couple of rom´s like Criskelo Rom, Kingdroid Right now im running Stock ICS Rooted and no lag at all maybe you do something wrong
Yeah, I love my Note as well and it is fast. I am on the official ICS German (LPY) build and rooted and love it, no problems found so far for me. I used to be on Stunner version .19 and it was one of the best custom ROMs I have ever run.

If you still have problems flash stock kk9 which is a very good stock base (well has been for me ) via PC Odin root it nd then do factory reset ect then unless you have some crap hidden from ics leak you should be running a nice clean rom
Also try wiping (format) everything in mounts and storage then flash stock via Odin and root that is the way I do it when want a really fresh install lol

I love my Note. I have had it for 3 months now and have tried nearly ever rom out there. Just due to interest. I find the Stock Roms the best also. GB Roms are very fast. But I love ICS too much. I got used to ICS on my Galaxy S2 before I upgraded. So once I got my Note I quickly jumped to ICS as soon as it was available. I was not a fan of the Chinese Leak. So I went back to GB for a while. But I have been running LPY for the past week and loved having ICS back. I have just updated to LPF Stock and so far very impressed. Its very quick n smooth :-D

quick lag fix
I Had the lag problem initally at first too, I'm a iphone jb user so lag is really new to me. A easy fix is to use something like apex or go launcher and then limit the number of pages to like 3, super smooth now.
So i got the 8.9 last week and am pretty happy so far. My main uses are internet surfing and hd videos from youtube and play store. However one of my only complaints is that this thing isnt the fastest. I upgraded to official ics when i first got the tab and its not bad but still id like to install Asop jellybean and overclock the tab to 1.2 or 1.4. However id hate to brick my tab which i see on here all the time. The only problem is i have no idea how to root, even after reading and searching for the past week. My question is could some one tell me or show me a link to show EXACTLY how to root to the newest asop jb from official ics without bricking and then tell me how to oc it? I am such a noob with this, I dont know what kernels or anything is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure how missed this thread in the list. It's stickied at the very top.

Hmm. I'd be careful recommending ROMs just yet. He hasn't mentioned which model of 8.9 Tab he has.
Given that he mentions he's already on ICS I'd assume he's probably got a wifi-only P7310. He doesn't mention any other radio types (3G, LTE, etc.).
@Wrebbs, what model 8.9 tab do you have?

I've tried various roms and liked cm10 very much. Had to flash stock 3.2 via odin to get rid of the garbled screen issue and decided to try update OTA to ics that worked and i'm running stock ics on my dutch 7310 now this works fairly well, so i am going to wait untill the battery drain issue is being fixed on cm10 and try again then

Not happy with the stock ICS version of the Tab? Did it upgrade over kies? Are you in the US? I am in Europe and have the 3G version. Have to use a ported rom from 7500 to get ICS.
The ICS I have runs really smooth! Price was good aswell. Strange that your TAB is slow...
Only problem I have is that Adobe Flash gives me some trouble in HD and on some sites.
I tried HC 3.2 Stock, CM10 JB 4.1, SafariKing ICS and ported ICS from 7500 v2 and honestly - If I had stock original ICS I think I would stay with it! The Jellybean ROMs still have issues. in Alpha Beta stages.
The Tracid rom mentioned might be the next rom I try, but still happy with the ICS rom I have. If it aint broke don't fix it... (Itchy though, flashing roms is fun.)
Take it from someone whos hard bricked before, take your time and do your homework. Make sure you know the rom is for your specific device. You're not going to see drastic speed increases even if oc'd. So take your time and re-read everything. Your going to have to flash a recovery first, cwm or twrp through odin. Again, make sure it's for your device. Then you can root or flash a rooted rom. Once again, make sure it's for your device.

the phone is rooted on stock gb 2.3.3
(just rooted the phone, didn't flash any custom rom or kernel on it)
everything else works great, except the boot loop problem when I reboot the device sometimes
if flashing is a solution, please recommend something that works great with the i9000
I'm really thinking to flash it, but thought to ask here first

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Thanks!
Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?

Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
