No GPS
Been using FastyII since v1.5 (which was not that long ago). Exceptional ROM; however, I've never been able to get a GPS lock. I read the other posts regarding this issue, but can't find a solution. As a matter of fact, lbstestmode is not be found. What am I missing?

Download gps aid from the market, that might help your case.

Yup.. u r rite.. I messed it up. vcf file imported the contacts to my google account and I was searching them by checking only the phone option.
So the first question goes down as a stupid one

No luck. Just tried that along with several other "GPS Fix" apps. For GPS Aids, the XTRA (native mode) fails so I tried using it in "forced mode". Still nothing. Curious why I can't start lbstestmode.

Hmm you might have a captivate with a really bad gps .(hardware)

Where can I download v2? I'm running 1.9 now and loving it. The best battery I've had, ever. I'm getting 15 to 19 hours usage with ~2hrs display and 1-2hrs talk. The same basic setup since the day I bought it (7/10), multiple gmail accts, wifi and bluetooth on and display set to automatic.

3G problem
Hello I love the ROM. I had Fasty 2.5 but changed to Fasty II 1.9. Now my Browser dont work in 3G, yes in WIFI, also the Opera Mobile, but Opera mini works OK and other software that use 3G like Market and Slingplayer also work OK.
Thanks!

Check out my post here about my GPS issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17574640#post17574640
Loaded Fusion V and have GPS back. But, I prefer FastyII...

So Far So Good
I haven't had a chance to really test drive the ROM yet, but things are looking fine thus far. There is a small bug. I have the honey smoke theme. I noticed that when I go to make a wifi connection and enable auto rotate (when entering WEP key) I have to manually go into settings in order to turn it off again. The drop down auto-rotate button won't work. Nothing major. Keep up the good works guys!

App kill
3rd day on fasty.. no issues.. Excellent battery life
I miss the CM7 feature which kills the current app by long press Back button. If possible, could you please add that in the next version

I have a problem, sometimes I try to open an app and looks like crash or something because reboot the phone, was with latitude, TouchPal keyboard trying to open it and the last was trying to read a text .

Cm7 (2.3.4) to fasty v2.0 92.3.4)
Hello Im currently have my captivate running on cyanogen mod-7.1.0-RC1 (2.3.4). I would like to switch over to fastyv2.0(2.3.4). I have looked everywhere on this site to see if I can just flash it from my sd card or if I needed to take other steps to make the switch to this rom? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Last I checked fasty 2 thread is closed, and I lack the link to dl atm. But on cyanogen you should flash to stock. And get GB bootloaders if you dont have them. Also If you dont havr bootloaders id recommend flashing jf6 or kb1 (based on your phones build). After on stock flash GB bootloaders and then flash boogs kh3 kernel, then cwm rom. Alternatvly you can flash stock kh3, but i still recommend jf6 or kb1 first.
Im not on my computer so dont have links sorry

Hey, I'm having a bit of difficulty getting v2 2.0 to work --
I followed all the instructions to the T, rooted and everything, but I'm having some difficulties getting the ROM to work?

You need cwm. The esiest way to get it is flashing boogs kh3 kernel, DesingGears cog5 step 2 kernel (kf1) or any kernel with cwm.

are u sure that there are all properly working tweaks?
Can you try to use original kernels and roms and check GPS?
Are u trying use GPS module at home? there are a lot of factors which can reduce GPS module.

I tried it with many different roms like rocket and criskelo.
currently using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416192
with abyss kernel 4 and as you see in the picture it keeps looking like this without any result sometimes and sometimes there will be few sats but connection will not be continuing
and I tried to connect the GPS in many different locations outdoor In my car..
is it possible to flash a stock kernel and keeping root with cwm in the device?
and from where I can download that?
I'm just wondering is it possible that because of la6 is not the proper rom for my region the GPS won't work probably and how to fix that?

Im using Rocket with Abbyss, it seems to be OK..in Russia i mean.
u can use rooted kernel without any customizations.
Im sorry but i can give u more information between regions differencies. Try to use original rom with original kernel and phone options for ur location(region). And check if it helps. if so, try to use customized tools for ur region.

Go to the chainfire kernel thread in the note development section. There are all the samsung galaxy note kernel versions, added with root and clockworkmod. Thats what u need to flash whatever you like.

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

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.

lost the touchwiz lag by going CM9.

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
I love my Note!
I don't like iPhones tho! LOL

Which official 2.3.6 firmware shall I install?

My mum has a Samsung Galaxy Ace and she is complaining about quick battery draining and low space. I figured the best thing would be is too update it from 2.3.3 too 2.3.6.
The problem is that Kies is saying that 2.3.3 is already the newest one, so I decided I will go on the internet and look for some official 2.3.6 ROMs. I found many, and the problem is that I don't know which to install not to mess anything up.
I found many people saying that they are stuck in boot loops and their phones lag even more because of the update. The question is: Which ROM shall I use? Right now my mum has 2.3.3 XWPKY and I want to update to one of the 2.3.6 ones.
I found many:
DDKQ8 (oldest one, boot loops apparently)
XWKTM (value pack, newest)
XWKPY (in the middle) which apparently is 2.3.6.... (people are saying it's actually 2.3.3).
Anyway, guys, which ROM do you use, if you have a official one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here it is where you'll get all official firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
Select your country if you want, KTM is an official firmware from Spain (android 2.3.6.) but don't matter if you flash a firmware from another site but you'll need to change maybe the modem after flash an Indian Firmware, so try to flash an European Firmware to avoid this kind of stuffs

I recommend you the Spanish KTM... Good battery duration and it's perfect as base.

well, the best way >>> delete all your useless apps (I don't use gapps e.g.), which are consuming your ram (or are running in background), reduce the brightness, use low frequencies, disable sync, delete default browser and use a light one... you can try Stocklite rom (stable without bugs and all performance from stock rom)
If you are using a custom based stock rom, don't use setcpu/similar apps to set your CPU frequencies, check my signature thread , to set frequencies when android boot without to use memory space and ram consumption

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

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.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?

Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

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 )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

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!

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?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

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?
