I just installed the AOKP build 35 ICS ROM and wow, everything runs so smoothly compared to the Honeycomb stock ROM. EVERYTHING. Totally worth losing all my apps and settings for 1-2 months until the official update arrives. If you use the browser a lot (and type a lot) you should really think about doing this. It's like a CPU and RAM upgrade. Like a totally new (faster) tablet.
Yes, AOKP is great, but you didn't have to lose apps and settings - you could have just used Titanium Backup, and backed up literally everything . Good thing to know if you wanna do more experimenting before official ICS.

It's tempting, but I use my tablet to have my son Skype with my in-laws, so I'm stuck waiting forever for the official ICS.

i wouldn't do that.
ics and hc are two dirrent OS versions. porting apps from one OS to another would result in quite a few FCs.
so if you ask me "losing" your apps is the correct way to go...
I don't think that's entirely true mate. If you are talking about user apps and their data, it wouldn't make any problems, as long as the apps that were on Honeycomb are compatible with ICS, and 99% of them are. Not only apps, but he could have restored their data too, such as game progress, etc, without any issues...
Think of it this way, official upgrade from Honeycomb to ICS does a similar thing, and lets you keep user apps that you had on Honeycomb. I know this is true because i did it and kept all my user apps, when i was upgrading Asus Transformer Prime, that i had for testing purposes. There were zero issues with them.
Restoring system data and settings is another thing, i wasn't suggesting it, as that would most definitely cause problems.
It's the apps and their settings (and data) that matter most for me. And for anyone I guess... So it's good to know. Thanks.
AOKP
AOKP and P5 ICS roms for p7310...can I switch back and forth between these roms using cwm without wiping?
step by step
Is there a step by step guide if how I can get this ICS up and running? From where
did you download the image for the Galaxy Tab 8.9?
I don't think so.
Here's the short version:
1) install CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
2) wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache (advanced menu)
3) install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648561
4) enjoy your new tablet

Brilliant, thank you so much, I will try it the next couple of days. Just wondering if there is a way to store the current original Honeycomb image, so that I can restore it in case there is some warranty issue?
Many thanks!
Yes, make a backup after you install CWM. You will have to restore this and also the stock recovery software if you're going for the warranty.
I've been trying to install ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and have been unsuccessful even when changing the update-script to avoid assert errors. I'm at the point where I get a Status 0 error when trying to install aokp_p5_build-35.zip.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm a noob with Android but experienced in iPhone area. I'm using CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Sorry, no. I also had a similar error (6 I think) but that was because of me editting the script in Wordpad and saving it with carriage returns. I have no idea what the errors mean or where you can find any info related to this..

The LTE 8.9er Tablet has different hardware to the 8.9er regular tablet (p7310/p7300), the custom roms from the 8.9er tablet didn't work on the LTE tablet.
The lte tablet has a quallcomm soc the regular 8.9er has a nvidia tegra 2. Look here for a ICS for your lte tablet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1575
I installed CM9 yesterday on my tab. Ihave CM9 ob my SGS+, too. Thats the reason, why i installed CM9 and not AOKP or another ROM.
What i like:
- The performance is faaar better and smoother than on Honeycomb Stockrom
- In the Image Gallery a can disable the bottom bar so the full screen is used
- Better Taskswitcher
- IMHO better Contacts-App
What i dislike
- I have to say, Samsung optimized the Apps very well for the tablets that means:
- Better music player than Apollo
- Better calendar than in Android 4
- No Polaris Office
- No Keyboardsupport for the Samsung keyboard
Ok now lets see what Samsung deiver with there own Android 4. So i can copy some apps to CM9 .
Im waiting every day to have the confirmation that ICS would be ready
and I know I would start to wait until one of our chef's cook a proper ROM
I tried the different ICS and they look the part, is fast, and there is some nice improvments everywhere, however more than the camera not working,
what is holding me in Honeycomb is touch wizz
lol
don't get me wrong, I truly hate skins, and I like very slim and lightweight roms
but the app eBook is the killer app in my tab.
Until there is a good way to port it to ICS I will hold still living in the past..
(honeycomb was launched in feb 2011 why feels that long?)
Honeycomb isn't a problem by itself. The slow hardware on the 8.9 and Touchwiz make it a problem
Short Question: I have rooted my tabled and installed CWM Recovery and a port of an Cyanogenmod 9 ROM.
What happens when the ICS ROM will be released official by Samsung. What steps will I need to get these official ROM. Can I unroot and reset my device to the normal ROM or install the new official rom by manual download and installing over CWM Recovery?
When you made a backup of the stock rom after you installed cwm and bevor you installed the CM9 rom, you only have to restore the backup an update your tablet. otherwise you have to install the stock rom via odin.
About the "Smoothness" of Honeycomb and ICS. ICS is very smooth, but not every app. Quickpic stutter, the AOSP gallery is very smooth. Google Chrome is stuttering and shows me white screen when im scrolling to fast, the ICS Browser is smooth and faster.
So i thin there is something more than tegra or honeycom the problem.
maybe it is something like the right h264 codec for video.

just got myself this tab ...
honeycomb felt sooo slow and annoying ... so ... root, flash ics 4.0.4, all snappy and i'm happy.
now, i backed up with TB some of the apps i actually wanted from the stock rom ... but ... whenever i try to restore them on ics ... TB will just hang (says restoring, and waits ... and waits ... and waits ... and nothing happens ... )

You should never restore system apps from another "style" (HC --> ICS) of Rom.
This will always lead to problems, whichever device you're on.

seems like there's not much i can do then i guess ...
will have to either find the equivalent versions on ICS, or hope samsung will get our ICS out for us ...
Indeed you won't be able to restore some apps, like polaris office for example, when you update to ICS. However if we eventually get the ICS update from samsung, it seems very likely that any app from the stock ICS ROM will be usable with AOKP.

shame i had to deal with kies ... darn buggy software ... samsung should be ashamed ...
anyways, reverted back to my 3.1 HC, upgraded via kies (after an hour of grief to get it running) to 3.2. still not as snappy as ICS, but, i'll hand it to samsung, the gui seems much cleaner, and the default music app is worth it. it's not as amazing as sony's default one, but it's the best music player i've come across so far (and i've tested A LOT ... )
back to waiting i guess

First of all - I made it, I just completed overcome guide and got Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0 and CWM Recovery - It's ok, but my goal is to get ICS/JB or stable but pimped GB rom.
Device: Samsung Galaxy P-1000 EU, from polish orange carrier with 3G modem.
Recovery: Overcome CWM 5.1.2.6
I tried to install [ROM][CM10][JB][4.1.2][SGT7][P1000/N/L][PDroid][20121127] but just messed up with CWM and had to re-stock tab again.
What I need - because it is for my uncle:
- stable, smooth good for daily using
- working 3G, Wifi, Wifi/USB Tether, Camera & Camcorder, Bluetooth
- no major issues like battery drain or too many soft reboots.
- PL Language
I prefer JB/ICS roms but pimped GB also will be cool.
Thanks
CM10 isn't messing up your tab.
You just have to flash it 3 times coming from GB ROM.
The final round should be the one that is flashing "system" and should take the longest.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
What do You mean by saying "flash it 3 times"? Which ROM should I use?
The one you quoted, by alroger.
Flash 3 times, means you choose to install zip from sdcard or external SD card, OK it, and when finish repeat again, and again.
While doubt it please read the output, don't just assume it says finish. And don't assume it is boot looping.
First round is quick, it replace your cwm with cwm 6.
Second time it converts partition from bml to mtd.
Third round the ROM.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, so far I got first round done
Just for myself, I've been on everything from Overcome, through cm9, and cm10 and cm10.1 variants. I've just gone back to cm9 stable by humberos and so far it's been the best for me. I'm finding streaming videos better, haven't had any reboots. Having been on cm10 of some sort since they first appeared, I'm shocked how smooth and stable I'm finding cm9 and will be sticking with it.
I'm sure others will recommend something else. But for me, who is no techie and not that adept at tweeking, this has been the easiest, out of the box, no tweaking stable rom for me.
I got a CM10, everything is working. Just one issue, status bar. Sometimes the top area of app drawer, homescreen or in any app is going hmm.. under the status bar. Only reboot helps. Should I change DPI? 160 at the moment, or how in tablet mode get shortcuts to wifi/3g/tether/plane mode etc. buttons?
Ok, one more
How to change distance between rows in appdrawer? I like mixed tablet UI (160 DPI) and even a full tablet UI @120 DPI but font is too small, when I make it bigger in system preferences icons description are being cutted.
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. 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

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

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?

Few CM 11 questions
Hello, I've used my Galaxy Mini for more than 4 years, but I hadn't known, that it could run also another OS than the default one pre-installed by Samsung. But suddenly, I've found CM and this forum about it. I've made some research, but because I'm beginner with CM, I have few questions:
1. In the description on the thread for the CM 11 for Galaxy Mini there is written, that the development is currently in the testing/alpha2 state. There is also a wishlist of missing features. But the there is also written, that the last update was in January, 2014. If I compare it to Androidarmv6 download archive and its GitHub repository, is seems there already are newer versions out. My first question is, if the most recent version of CM 11 for Galaxy Mini is more stable than that 1 year old alpha2 release? Which missing features from that wishlist have been already resolved?
2. And if the CM 11 version is not stable enough for everyday use, which older (but still based on Android 4.x) and more stable CM version would you recommend me to use instead (if any - otherwise I'll install official CM 7.2)?
3. I noticed, that there is already the official alpha release of CM 12 (based on Android 5.x) and also ported as a new branch on GitHub. I also know, that Android 5.x is really hardware-demanding. Will it be still possible to run CM 12 on Galaxy Mini phone? And what about CM 11 or 10? Could you recommend me the most stable and the newest one (see 2nd question), but still working on so low-performance device as Galaxy Mini in default is (384 MB RAM, 600 MHz, ...)? And if not, could you recommend me some web article describing how to make the performance of my phone better in order to run that recommended CM version from my previous two questions (if it is possible somehow)?
4. And finally, I want to ask, if I need to root my device before installation of that recommended CM version. Because in the installation manual from the original Samsung firmware to the official CM 7.2 there is no need to root Galaxy Mini during process and in the installation manual from CM 7.2 to CM 11 too. But in the installation manual from the original Samsung firmware directly to the CM 11 there is rooted phone needed. I don't understand, why I don't need rooted phone for indirect installation, but for direct installation I do. Could you clarify me the installation process?
I hope somebody experienced helps the beginner there (but good programmer and advanced Linux user) with the installation of CM by answering these a little bit complicated questions

I hope somebody experienced helps the beginner there (but good programmer and advanced Linux user) with the installation of CM by answering these a little bit complicated questions

Are you sure your device is galaxy mini/pop s5570? There is no "i" at end? If both yes, then go ahead and read my answers.
Answers:
1. The op(member of androidarmv6 group) isn't active. Thats why the thread says alpha. But you can download and install latest tass(galaxy mini) version from androidarmv6 jenkins. And about feature list, everything is fixed from that list, but camera is colorless(black and white type pics). You need tls enabled recovery to flash latest cm11.
2. Cm11 is stable enough for daily usage. But cm11 is resource hungry. I would recommend you to try cm11 and make your own decision about it. Every android version <= 4.2.2 are fully stable and everything works. I use aokp 4.1.2 myself. 4.2.2 is a bit heavy but if you don't use too many apps, you could use it without any problems. Cm9, ics aosp, cm10,slimbean,aokp jb4.1.2 roms are most efficient 4.x roms and less resource hungry. For better results and good performance, you may need to install greenify. See my threads for 4.x roms.
3. Cm12 isn't booting yet. You can follow review.androidarmv6.org for latest changes and progress. Better use aokp 4.1.2 or slimbean or cm10 with greenify and int2ext(to expand internal memory, you need to create 512mb ext4 partition on sdcard).
4. It is not that hard to flash a simple zip. There is a thread here in galaxy mini section which describes how to root galaxy mini. Follow that tutorial. Then flash cwm 5.0.2.8 recovery(search in and download from galaxy mini section) it from stock rom recovery.
Then you are ready to install any galaxy mini roms.
Caution: Don't flash any zips outside galaxy mini section. Our device board name is "tass". So, you'll see tass in filenames and they are for galaxy mini/pop s5570. If you flash wrong zips, you'll end up with bricked phones(a paper weight). So, be careful. Have a happy flashing.

Sure! Just S5570 without "i" and just Tass! I know it is older mobile phone, but still I don't want little unusable brick

Is jenkins the download.androidarmv6.com site? Or jenkins.androidarmv6.com? But on the second site I don't see download link, even if I login with my GitHub account. And what is tls enabled recovery? Does it mean using CWM recovery? Or am I wrong?

Thank you for your answers to my questions! Actually many thanks!
And finally one more question:
I've seen more threads about Galaxy Mini roms in this xda section. And in almost all of them is written, that everything works, just there are problems using camera. It looks like this is a global problem. Is this problem only in CM 11 at the moment and group members only aren't active to cross the camera out from the "Don't work" list on threads for roms, which were resolved? Or is it still global problem? In which roms camera fully work without any caveat? You wrote, that everything in Galaxy Mini section <=4.2.2 is fully stable, so I expect it works there, but better to ask...

Search androidarmv6 jenkins in google.
Camera in cm11 actually works but it uses source built libcamera, not the original samsung libcamera. And it gives a very colorless pics. No, androidarmv6 people are very nice. Just they are busy. And we don't have a skillful developer left.
And yes, every version <= 4.2.2 has got everything working as it should. But the video recording isn't good sometimes(only sometimes, it is not good anyways).
I would recommend you to try my aokp 4.1.2. Partition your sd card, install cronmod int2ext to expand ur internal memory (int2ext only not int2ext+). And install xposed installer + greenify, greenify not so important and ram consuming apps. That's my setup actually.

I haven't time before, so today I managed to install a new ROM to my Mini six months after I wrote here. First of all I spent hours of googling and searching, where to download working package to root my phone and where to download cwm 5.0.2.8 for Mini, because all of the packages for rooting haven't been working at all and all of the download links to cwm 5.0.2.8 I've found were dead, except the links and except the packages here. Googling and searching finally helped, so I had my first cwm on my Mini. Then I've checked first three ROMs from the Mini's section. Concretely CM 10, SB 3.1.0 and AOKP JB 4.1.2.
First of all I've tried Slimbean. I was really confused, when I found out, that there is no keyboard inside the installation! What the h*** (sorry, but I really said that when at that moment)? One of my reasons to leave original Gingerbread was that really bad keyboard, which I need to reinstall by some from Google Play every time I had to reset my phone into factory settings (another reason to upgrade btw). And after upgrade again? But Slimbean looked really well, just a few strings weren't translated to my language, so I decided to try AOKP. AOKP hadn't just keyboard, but also gapps, so I needed to google, where to download it from. I've found this and hoped it can't break my newly installed ROM. And there were more strings untranslated to my language, so I decided to try the third one, CM. It was fully translated, but also there weren't gapps and keyboard. And the patch (if it was a patch) - tether patches.zip - couldn't be applied (some error was thrown during its installation).
Finally, I've found gapps for it too. The winner of these three was Slimbean, the loser was AOKP, but I'm going to test more ROMs, until I find some good one. In order to avoid searching the Mini's section another hours: Is there any ROM with preinstalled keyboard (and possibly gapps too)?

I've removed keyboard and gapps intensionally. I use this keyboard. If you really want jb keyboard i'll provide you later(is not better than gb keyboard though). Yourzgapps are best. Google search yourzgapps.

I used this one. Its dev developed JB keyboard too, but it wasn't compatible with GB anymore. Is there any package for this or JB one or I need to install them from Google Play?
I found out that AOKP just needed to restart to be fully translated, so it is a little bit ok than CM (but SB still wins).
I'd like to try some 4.0 ROMs and some 4.2 ROMs (just to try, like yesterday). I saw here some threads about english only ROMs. I'll try them and maybe find my favourite. Is there any chance to build my language version after that? I know there is big red notification This is english only! (You have been warned...!). I don't want to waste your time for so minor things. Feel free to reject my potential request at the beginning.

You can add your language translations to apks inside the rom. ics,jb keyboards won't work on gb. There is a cm10.1 version from androidarmv6 team, try it. It has all languages. To build only your language, then you need to sync sources and modify build files to get your language.

Thank you, I'll search the CM 10.1 from androidarmv6 team and try it. The keyboard looks like ICS, but worked fine in factory firmware GB. I think it could work in this CM 10.1 too. If I install it from Google Play to the CM 10.1 ROM, it will work, or not? But I don't know, how to change the apk into the zip, that can be installed from cwm.
Thank you for your all help. Six months ago I thought it will be so complicated, but it is easy if one follows the rules not to make a bricked phone.
Edit: I tried this and it is totally awesome. The best I've tried. I'll test it for a longer period. My favourite keyboard is inside, first time in my Mini's life I don't have to reinstall that bad original GB keyboard. I just hope it won't be so battery and RAM consuming (I'll test it). I ask here if I have some question or problem in the future. Last time huge thanks (in words and in thank buttons too)

I tried it, the performance is better, but there is a huge problem. I install it in this way:
boot into cwm 5.0.2.8 >
wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats >
flash cm10.1 you suggested >
flash yourzgapps >
flash int2ext >
fotmat sd-ext >
reboot
After reboot cm10.1 boots and at the beginning works like a charm. Int2ext works as expected, 1/5 from memory used. But after 2-3 minutes int2ext stops working and I have full memory. Reboot or int2ext reinstallation don't work. Why? How could I fix it?

Don't format sd-ext after flashing int2ext. One factory reset is enough.
Try this way:
1. Goto recovery and make factory reset/wipe.
2. Flash rom and reboot system(let it boot first).
3. Again goto recovery, mount all partitions and flash int2ext.
4. You can also flash gapps now. Reboot system now, and start your setup.

I had formatted sd-ext, because it is written in int2ext installation steps. Finally I tried your suggestion and everything works. I just flashed gapps right after flashing OS, because I want Google's first boot guide. I'm so happy everything works like a charm on that older, but good Mini. I'm also happy I got rid of that buggy GB. Once more thanks.

Guys, A little Help!
I am currently using my old Galaxy S I9000, as my HTC has gone to Service Centre for a week.
Last time I left it with JB Custom Rom (C-Rom Bean v1.9.0 Final) which was working quite OK! Now its too much laggy and slow all over while on JB Rom. I have already tried CM11, CM10.2, Slimkat, SpiritRom and Dark Unicorn (all 4.x.x and above).
Currently I am on CM7.2, which is working quite fine, considering its based on GB 2.3.7. I was also looking for working Lewa OS link, as I liked the one that I installed on my HTC, but couldn't find one.
Can anyone help me to understand what has happed to make this phone go soooooooo slow. Even if I am unable to instal Android 4 and above, I would still need the link for Lewa OS. If anyone has it, that'd be most helpful.

Mainly, the problem is on the way the different roms use the dalvik vm and the way aforementioned roms are unable to leash cache used. So, my recomendation is a good rom which a good preset over dalvik used of memory and applications like App Cache Cleaner to erase the cache every now and them.
For me the perfect combination is:
1. Stable CM10.2.1 rom
2. Kernel Semaphore 3.3.0 (avoid version 3.3.0s because it gives problems with Netflix, besides version 3.3.0 is perfect and you can activate bigmem with Semaphore Manager App, so 3.3.0s is nonsense) (NOTE: You need odin for installing it, follow this instruction)
3. Gapps: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
4. Semaphore manager app. Settings for Semaphore Manager:
- Smartassv2 Governor: Awake ideal freq 900000 / Up rate 10000 / Down rate 99000 / Max CPU 50 / Min CPU 20 / Ramp up 300000 / Ramp down 300000 / Sleep ideal freq 300000 / Sample rate jiffies 2.
- Deep Idle: Enable
- Lock min freq to 100Mhz: Disable
- Active Scheduler: CFQ
- Bigmem: Enable
5. My build.prop to be placed within /system/ (remember to set for this file rw-r--r-- permissions and change owner to root).
6. A launcher like Zeam Launcher or Lightning Launcher
7. And finally an installed App Cache Cleaner Pro to erase the cache every now and them.
Best.
I have flashed CM10.2.with minimal gapps, but now unable to connect to internet. Tried flashing many times after wiping data, clearing cache and clearing Dalvik cache, but still unable to connect to internet.
EDIT: That as a temp problem with my carrier network. So, I have installed CM10.2 with above details. Working fine so far. Will let you know if there is any problem with this setup.

Try to flash the final build 2.2 of SlimBean 4.3 with SlimGapps.
It is faster than CM10.2 and has much better battery life (especially if you use TRDS mode)

I have tried to flash the zip last week but it stucked on "extracting system" every time. It just updated my recovery to TWRP 2.8.4.1, but didn't even reboot.
Maybe it is phone that isn't OK anymore. Its internal memory isn't working correctly anmore.

Cool I tought it failed as the installation process never took that long yet. I will try again then.
tetakpatalked from N7100
OK, I 've flashed it. Lollipop on the i9000. It took 19min until the process was finished.
I have also flashed PA Gapps pico by Tkruzz, all other are probably too big.
The Omni LP alone (just Omni 5.0) is extremely smooth, but quite slow.
After flashing of Gapps (which BTW work perfectly fine) my i9000 has turned into the slowest device I ever used. It is way slower than Eclair, actually just same slow like my S8000 running CM7 from externalSD card.
It takes 15sec to open PlayStore, up to 2min to download and install an app (even smaller apps), about 5-10 sec to react on pressing any button and the device is often running out of memory and soft reboots are the result. It takes up to 15sec until the keyboard appears etc.
Otherwise all important functions work fine, but Lollipop is too big a task for the i9000 and except that it just works, there is simply no many people who would like to use a device with auch slowdowns. Even biggest fans of the i9000 (I might be among them) will have to face the fact that Android 5.0 is actually out of the hardware capacity of the S1
tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
I myself am using CM10.2. Which works fine, with just a bit of lag. Its either that or gingerbread. Anyways, omni 5.0 for i9000 is just experimental at this stage, with promise for a more stable build by @humberos. It may be light on the system, but who knows.
I'd say buy a newer model if we need new OS as software is as good as its hardware and vice versa.
Omni is excellent and very stable, although in Alpha stage. That isn't my point.
LP system cannot get smaller, the i9000 is simply too slow for Android 5.0
It was just an info for people who dream to use Lollipop on i9000. It is a huge slowdown.
I have much faster devices but I don't use LP even there.

Hey,
I suggest you guys to use SlimBean v2.9 with the latest Slim JB gapps. The phone will be quite fast, despite this device is very old... This version of SlimBean is not available on their site but is here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!6xJnVaBY!qhF1g99N0zE1w6XZd3E2IPgvlBgAJWGrYluZehgajNE
I think further versions are significantly slower and this one offers quite a lot of customization as well. Good luck with the i9000 [emoji3]

Which Android version is that Slim build and why isn't it on the Slim server?
Is there a md5 checksum?
tetakpatalked from N7100
It's an android 4.1.2 and SlimBean version 2.9. It's not on the official site because it's not the latest 4.1.2 version they have distributed. That's the 3.1 if I'm not mistaken.

It's an android 4.1.2 and SlimBean version 2.9. It's not on the official site because it's not the latest 4.1.2 version they have distributed. That's the 3.1 if I'm not mistaken.

Good to know. How is the battery life there? With CyanogenMod I remember that 4.1 and 4.2 had terrible battery life, while 4.3 was a lot better.

It can last from morning till the evening but of course depends on the usage.
From what I remember Slim on 4.1.2 was real solid, probably one of my favourite roms. 3.1 wasn't that bad either

I've tried today build 2.9
It worked fine but for some strange reason it didn't recognize my wifi router...all other networks just fine, but not the important one. I couldn't solve it, tried everything.
But I have feeling that SlimBean 4.3 is at least as good.
Hey, BTW I have filmed Omni 5.0.2, I will try to edit it and upload tomorrow

I don't think I ever got around to trying the 4.3 version, I remember the 4.2.2 version was a bit hit and miss when it came to battery (but then again, all 4.2.2 roms save Gamerzrom and a few others were). By the time the 4.4.x version came out I moved onto the S3 so I can't vouch for that, but Slim roms are pretty good
And you legend, thanks a lot
