Hey everyone,
Just wanted to learn about your experience with the OB Kernel + ROM GB Mods.
My main interests are OC for games and clean, no useless apps ROMs for extended battery life and better performance.
I am also seeking out ROMs that won't bug the Wi-Fi or any other basic functionality of the device.
I was thinking CM7 or maybe NOVA 8. But I'm a noob so i want to hear some of the more experimented users' opinions.
Thanks in advance.
If you need a stable rom, please use nova 8 (froyo)
CM is built from AOSP and has many differences with stock roms. Sure it has more bugs than Nova, another advantage from CM is themes and expanded system settings.
Try it yourself, as long you have clockworkmod recovery you're freely to test CM and Nova which one that suits you.

Thanks for the quick reply @lesp4ul.
1.) When the official GB update from LG comes out I must not update if I install NOVA 8 ?
2.) Themes and expanded settings that you say come with CM are not available on NOVA 8 ?
Off-topic: Love your signature pic. Made myself one too, whenever I'll be able to add it to my signature I will. Can't edit my signature now, for reasons i do not fully grasp.

1. Don't ask for ETA, i don't know dude. Also don't start a thread about it. When the update comes you can upgrade it.
2. Because CM7 is a custom gingerbread build by Team Cyanogen, not based from stock rom. So they can add new features that ordinary rom doesn't have. Try it, nightly #20 and Nova kernel 11c. If you don't like it just flash Nova Rom 8 again.

Cool beans. Thanks a lot Also, I think you misunderstood me there, I wasn't asking WHEN the update will be here, just IF I can upgrade to it if I have another ROM/Kernel on my OB.

Aye, AFAIK if you wanna upgrade to GB (when it's available of course),and you have flashed custom ROM, you should downgrade it to the stock/official so then you can get a notif from the LG Updater if the GB is available

Basically, If i put the NOVA 8 on my phone now, whenever the GB update will be available i'll have to restore the stock 2.2 Froyo I have on it now, right ?

Bottom line:
-I'll try both NOVA 8 & CM7 nightly #20 w/ nova kernel 11c
-see which one I like best
-that's 'bout it
All good ?
Oh sorry, btw you're good to go. Backup your contacts and data first.

Hey, another question about the replacement of ROMs. Is it wise to back-up my phone using Titanium so that more data than just the contacts and messages are saved ?
What I'm asking here is: does Titanium also back-up settings and preferences in apps ? Or the installed apps ? I have never used it before and can't really figure this one out by their description on the market...

titanium backs up EVERYTHING. ur apps (stock+installed and their progress), settings and customizations. to sum it up, titanium backup will backup every single bit of ur phone as an image. hope i helped
But i not recommended you to use titanium backup, especially you are migrating to a different rom like CM7, titanium will mess up your OS. use appmonster to backup your apps to sdcard and manually export your contacts to sdcard, also you can backup your sms with go sms.
I suggest you to use nandroid backup if you wanna revert to your original state.

Back-Up queries.........
A very good thread.....
I have installed over hundreds apps/games........ and I have flashed my ROMs over 20 times and still want to do it..he..he.. (everytime, I have to re-install every single app/game one by one.. tediously!?).
Please advise which is the best tool (Titanium back up/Nandroid.....) that after flashing rom (from Nova to CM7, from Nova to Stock......) I can restored the installed apps/games and that remain the configed of these apps/game...
"I suggest you to use nandroid backup if you wanna revert to your original state.": is this means it also revert the OS to original (ie.: if I up from NOVA 8 to CM7, after restore, it will go back to NOVA 8)?
"use appmonster to backup your apps to sdcard and manually export your contacts to sdcard, also you can backup your sms with go sms." Do I need to Restore every single apps/games after that or only 01 click to restore everything?
Great thanks.

Yeap nandroid is like creating system image, if you ever used norton ghost it's somekind like that. It backups everything from the rom.
Appmonster automatically backup every installed apps. It can do batch install also.
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
Never used Norton Ghost. I've used Drive Image XML though which does the same thing, only better. I'm an IT tech
So basically, I'll just have to use:
- nandroid for creating a back-up to restore the phone to its original state, before flashing and upgrading;
- go sms for the SMSes;
- appmonster for back-uping the apps to the SD;
- manual (my own hands ) for exporting the contacts to the SD card.
Thanks for the tip !
Question: Couldn't the back-up of SMSes and contacts be done through the PC Suite ? Or will it mess up something because it won't recognize the phone anymore after flashing and replacing the stock ROM ?
Question #2: @lesp4paul - What do you mean by "titanium back-up will mes up your OS" ?

CM7 does't recognize PCSuite. But can be done in stock ROM, handy if you plan upgrading to stock ROM (Gingerbread) in the coming days.

I don't even see the point in upgrading to the GB coming up in a few days...
I could just flash the 2.2 NOVA 8 now, then when that ICS ROM comes to XDA I'll upgrade to that.
LE: Sorry if this is becoming annoying, but will THIS KERNEL work with THIS ROM ?
Because in the Kernel thread, it says that it mustn't be flashed on NOVA... I am very confused :-??

Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
But since you want ICS, continue reading the guide.
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
You have ICS after a few minutes of booting.
You are here too. Btw thank you for your help last time. Now i want to get cm9 on my tab. I used cubed 3d, it was stable but i really want ics feel. I am currently on froyo and wanting to get cm9 installed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi droidxrooting,
I hope you are comfortable using Heimdall.
The last round you didn't get to use it on linux?
Most of the CDMA guide is using heimdall, some guides on Windows.
The process is similar, you want to flash a kernel that has CWM 5.x and support Ext4 conversion (so called lagfix).
Then flash ICS, the gapps.
there is cyanogenmod wiki too, but I don't know if it is clear or not

flash cyanogenMod 9 Stable version,.
Now I am very comfortable with heimdall. My first experience was horrible because of the drivers on my PC. I used other computers and it worked like a charm. I can not ask for more.
The problem that I was facing with flashing cm9 over cubed 3d is the error I was getting in cwm. Error 7 installation aborted. I tried to flash other ROMs as well with out any luck. Even after master reset and clearing the caches.
Now I am back to stock and rooted. I need the way to get recovery on my tab. If you can help me it would be great.
Once I get the recovery I think I should be able to flash cm with out any problems.

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.

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.

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

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
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.
Sent from my GT-P7510
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!

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

If you have problems with CWM you should check here the points 8 and 26 to 30. I have the some problem but unfortunately I have no clue how to fix it, even with those tips, but maybe it'll work for you. And if you'll find any easy way to install CWM for stock recovery <3e> please let me know, I've been struggling with it for quite some time now.
Also remember to choose right CSC when installing stock rom - you can check what your code is here.

Wrong section mate! There is a great Q&A Thread!
...
1. You should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768181
2. Backup your current rom using CWM (do it via recovery)
3. Use Titanium Backup to save your bookmarks, or the data files from which ever app (even you can save de apk)... if you use Titanium Backup then when you restore the data you might face troubles in different roms (4.2.2 / 4.3).
4. To backup all your contacts use contacts app to export all of them to your sd
Now you are ready to flash a fresh stock or another custom rom

Do you feel the wi-fi slow compared with others cyanogenmod roms or the stock rom?
I used the nightlys of january, february and march (all) and my phone have slow wi-fi
CM7 ROMs are not totally bug-free. There have been GPS issues with several ROMs in the past. Also I till the date have never been able to use the phone on CM7 as a modem for computer as the modem (phone) doesn't respond. Also minute but Wi-Fi issues that prevailed previously seem to be sorted out eventually but expect no optimization.
If you want speed & stability with all the working features, use the stock based ROMs.

Wrong section mate! There is a great Q&A Thread!
...
1. You should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768181
2. Backup your current rom using CWM (do it via recovery)
3. Use Titanium Backup to save your bookmarks, or the data files from which ever app (even you can save de apk)... if you use Titanium Backup then when you restore the data you might face troubles in different roms (4.2.2 / 4.3).
4. To backup all your contacts use contacts app to export all of them to your sd
Now you are ready to flash a fresh stock or another custom rom
