How can i speed up my galaxy s GT-i9000

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John

install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button

Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing

Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.

Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.

+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.

Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!

try miui mintberry

My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

MIUI mint berry and via rom toolbox clocked into 1,3ghz

I´m on JVZ with Semaphore 2.1.1 and overclocked CPU (1300 mhz). This motor is fast, stable and smooth.

Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.

Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

Wrong thread. Also there is tonnes of information a single google search away on how to root your phone. One way is to download Odin and then flash a rooted kernal such as CF-Root onto the phone from Download mode.

How to install a safe kernel?

The update to 4.0.4 is, hopefully, arriving within the UK as soon as possible and set to bring some bug fixes and one or two features. Whilst not substantial, it would be nice to receive this update but I am shocked to hear that Samsung have yet to fix the well-known brick bug. So, how difficult is it to install a safe kernel on my stock ICS ROM 4.0.3 version. I don't want to change ROMs, as I need the S-Pen apps, and I don't want to lose apps or data. I just want to change kernels. Also, if I change kernels, will updating my ROM to 4.0.4 revert my kernel to a brick bug affected one? If so, how do I go about installing a custom kernel on a stock 4.0.4 ROM?

Speed mod kernel is best and free from brick bug and really smooth with good battery life

this kernel also works for ics 4.0.4?
how safe is it?

Gingerbread or ICS Stock?

Good day everyone. I just want to ask you guys, especially those who are using stock roms, which do you prefer, stock ics or stock gb? I'm coming from PA by Utacka and I pretty much used custom roms from the start so i never actually used stock.
Please provide a reason as to why. I just want to have a stable rom while waiting for the official jelly bean update.
Thank you everyone.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

there is no as such reasons to be on a particular ROM.. its each and everyones taste that keep them stuck to a particular rom,
as far as stock is concerned stock ICS rooted with a hydracore kernel works best for me

I would compare GB to windows XP. Sure it was good back in the day, but it's had it's run now and time to stay current. ICS has been released for a good while now and should have had all the bugs ironed out. Little things like the improved task switching (previews over icons), and swipe to dismiss notifications, while small differences make for a better experience over all.
A better kernal like hydracore to improve battery life and a stock ICS (or maybe back to rocketrom) would be what i would go back to if i was so inclined (i'm on utacka's PA at the moment too)

Thank you for the answer. My only intention is to have a pretty reliable phone so I can use my phone when it really counts. I hate that when I have to do something really important, I will encounter freezes or out of memory error that prevents me to actually multitask.
I haven't tried rocketrom but I am willing to try that. My only fear is if it will lag after few days of use. My boss' phone which is sgs2 would go for days or months without a reboot and he is on stock gb. He doesn't know anything about smartphones in general so he thinks he is using a regular phone, and he is pretty happy about the phone's performance. I just want the same experience.
Thank you.

ICS 4.0.4 without hesitation especially with interducing of safe kernel

Flash stock ICS 4.0.4 via PC Odin (the new one like xxlrt or ddlr9) then flash safe stock kernel like PhilZ kernel for your new rom from (also via odin or cwm): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And thats it!! Full stock, very smooth (compared with older 4.0.4), and most important it is perfectly stable, and everything works.
I only aded a call recording mode beacause I realy need it.
Hope that help!

Okay I'll look into that. Someone suggested about Rocketrom, do you think that Rocketrom could perhaps be more stable and faster than fully stock ( except kernel maybe) xxlrt or ddlr9, and do everything work on that? Files are too large for touchwiz roms so i want to know more about different types of rom before doing some flashing. I won't have so much time this coming months so I really want a reliable phone. Thanks a lot.

I dont want complaining on certain rom, but if you ask i will say my opinion on rocketrom. It is a good and stable rom, i have used it with hydracore kernel and dont find any problems with in about 2-3 weeks of use. But it is based on xxlrq which i found a bit laggy for me (the same story is for completly stock xxlrq). I dont know which is a difernce in xxlrq compared to xxlrt (some says the diference is only in kernel but i dont know).
So i was tired of flashing and stuff and decided to go on completly stock, picked up a latest xxlrt and whoaa, great. The reason why i am on lrt because my note is from german, i think that same story is for indian lr6 and lr9.
Then the story begins:
-Flashed stock GB xxlc1 via pc odin
-full wipe
-flash stock ics 4.0.4. xxlrt via pc odin
-root (dr.ketans guide) - only because of callrecord mod
-first flashed hydracore 4.3std kernel (also great kernel) and then philZ realesed his stock, emmc bug free kernel, so i flashed it.
Now used only a PhilZ kernel because it is completly stock with removed emmc brick bug. And for stock xxlrt rom it is perfect combination for me (just choose right kernel for your rom)
-Added only call recording mode
-settings > application > unninstalling aplications which i dont use ; > ALL > disabling (readers, music, social hub, etc...)
-And thats it!
Perfectly stable, smooth with great battery life, without any problem, FC or else. Without reboot for about 3 days (reason flashed Philz kernel 23.09)
Finally happy with my note :victory:
Hope that helped

[Q] which kernel to flash on 2.3.6

hi
here is my version:
-Galaxy S GT-i9000
-2.3.6 XXJW4
-some 2.6.35.7 kernel
my question is can i flash this kerner to one of those below?
mngb0.5.6
Devil 0.08
Glitch 13.1
SpeedMod Gingerbread
Semaphore 2.7.4
and which one do u prefer for speed and performance?
sorry for my english

Semaphore is standard in a lot of GB Roms
Speedmod would be my preference.. but why?
Are you having issues with it?
You are on JW4 2.3.6 - JW9 is out

i'm new to this there, just want to try some new kernels, see which fits me ye and this one is a bit slow.
is it so simple?just flashe over the existing kernel "stock"?
yes im on jw4 2.3.6.i thought jw4 is for europe so i downloaded it.can i flash jw9 over this one or do a fresh one?
are there any improvements in jw9.
thnx for reply
got my sgs on december 2012 and this was my first flash ever :/ so like i told i have no experience with this for now, but its not so hard.

I am a fan of GB roms, easier to mod :silly:
Phone slow as in how?
It all depends on what you use the phone for as there are roms out there for multitasking, games, overall use etc...
Im on GB Saurom JW9.. Its stable and well balanced (my preference, I am in the UK)
Or the MesoRom, there are many.....depending on your needs
Flashing a kernel can cause issues, a lot of people have crashed there phones cause they flashed the wrong ones
Read up or PM the developer of the Rom to see whats suited to your phone and other peoples posts.
Flashing another Rom :
If its a GB rom that you want to flash then its JVU First, then Root JVU then Flash your Rom that your wanting to use.
SEE HERE
Let me know if you need more help

thnx for reply i will try that link u gave me tonight.
the gt uses too much RAM and its a bit laggy.i dont use it so much but i like it smooth.on AnTuTu Benchmark i had 3777 score and on Quadrant can remember but i think it was 17xx.
i have like one or two games on it and some apps that i use every day.got rid of some system apps, was experimenting little and i was suprized.had like 190-200 free RAM always.but when i instaled google play it droped like hell 100-140.
after flashing with JVU i can flash any rom i like?4.2.1 JB???
in this curret 2.3.6 i dont have recovey mode.couldnt fix it .tryed 100 times, all possibilities.
i want this ROM to install on my sgs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041928
so can i flash it after JVU???

Yes just follow my Walkthrough and you can install any Rom you wish : HERE
Also If you like my themed rom of JW9 Saurom Thats HERE if you wish that i am using with no lags etc...

Do not flash GB from JB. You need to install ICS first, even for 5 minutes..
Flashing from GB directly to JB will likely lose your IMEI number and that will, depending on your country, leave your phone unable to call, text etc lol
If you know how to restore efs then you can miss out ICS without problem.

Read this.
If you want a fast device then try Mackay ICS.
For gaming try CyanAOSP (Jelly Bean), CyanAOSP (KitKat).
For customizations try Cyanogenmod or Cyanogenmod based ROMS.
Also Omni is pretty good.

That's a good choice. To take advantage of the Semaphore's kernel features download Semaphore Manager from Play Store.
If you want to overclock your device choose 1.2 MHz and the ondemand Governor. Also for 400+ MB of RAM choose the s Semaphore version and also download the Bigmem libs.

Can i Overclock the cpu more than 1.2Ghz ?

Yes you can but not with Semaphore kernel. Mackay kernel supports up to 1.4 MHz.
Keep in mind that with clock speeds over 1.2 MHz you will experience a lot of crashes and reboots, your device will get hot etc.

Now i understood thanks!

You might lose your IMEI if you install 4.4 straight from stock. The right way is to install ICS first then JB and finally KK (or you can install KK straight from ICS).

Install the ROM first. Make sure to choose the correct Semaphore kernel for your ROM.

You only need to flash a kernel once you install the final ROM, in your case KK.

Hi to all
After to try upgrade my GT-I9000 by KIES (realy bad choice) my phone crash and can't coming back in original without any issues.
I was going and in samsung service to setback but the problems are still there.
Boot freezings and random of sorry the android.process.media has stopped. acore, keybord etc.
I try to fix them first by cache or apps settings but no luck- i was try everything.
Next step for - i had a feeling my phone is not dead and i can't to use it like this - is try to fount a rom in all net.
To many rom's and installs clears with full format or not - with xp,7 or 8 - but all they have same problems (slim,paranoid,etc.). Full of Sorry's that service or other has stop and press the ok every sec.or rom apps crash down or freezings and next black screen or freezing and many reboot's auto.
2 weeks try and try again. It must to save my phone.
And yesterday i try another rom.
1. set (must have) the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA by ODIN 1.83 with repartition s1_odin_20100512.pit
1st reboot auto and freezing again (many auto reboots) but final open the phone in settings.I didn't stop so must see the next step
2. Set Kernel by Odin again CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.
The phone reboot but boot over and over without go in. Again i didn't stop so i go in recovery (other way to take the install file) and mount usb (i can't go in phone) and take the ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 rom in internal sd (no external sd and no sim in the phone).
3. Clear the data/factory, reset data cache and dalvic cache and install it (i can say the install it was slowest by the others rom's and more stady in the load bar).
No extra gapps files to install need.
The phone auto reboot and i wait with hope again.
Boom. The phone open in the setting without single problem.:victory:
The Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 is there all works perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I save my phone and is realy fast because the phone have a realy good hardwear.
So the Final answer is the rom must fit in your phone
I hope to help i wish a nice day to all.
