Hello everyone,
I'm a new owner of another SS Galaxy Note, I used to be a BB user (the last one was a great Bold9900)
I'm a totally new in this section and as far as I can see the responsible of the Note is worse than the, let's say Iphone and Ipad. My gf has IP3Gs, the ROM is 5.1.1 and it's still fast enough, the response is quite fast, the sliding is instant etc. The ipad is very fast as it's The New Ipad.
My Note software version is 4.0.3 build DXLP5. Build DXLP9 - the newest SouthAsian version (for Vietnam). I can see that the Note responses not as fast as the Iphone, for example you open the Phone icon and it takes like 2 seconds to open, the slide to unlock is not as smooth and snappy.
Btw I have installed both the FREE and PAID version of Fruit and Ninja and I lost the game after few minutes of playing because the slides to cut are not instant as in Iphone, Ipad so I missed lot of fruits.
So to sum up it's not very smooth and snappy, instant. Other than that the Note is great and sexy, I wish I can make it faster and snapier, like the iOS is nearly instant, even the old IP3GS running the new and heavy 5.1.1 OS
I want to ask from where to start? Which custom ROM to use so my system become more responsible, instant and smooth?
I have read that the SpeedMOD kernel has good reviews, may I just install that Kernel on my stock ROM and my Note become more snappy and fast?
As I'm a noob in this section, I'm still afraid of going far like installing Custom ROMS so my fone become bricked...
I have a feeling that in my stock ROM untouched the Note sometimes needs seconds to think, after that it will proccess my order.
THank you for reading!

I use Franco kernel r5 with franco updater that allows me to overclock my Note to 1600 MHz.

So just the Stock ROM and the custom Kernel?
How is it feels like with the 1600 MHz instead of the stock 1400 Mhz?
I swear the Fruit and Ninja is soooo laggy that I missed the fruits and lost the game
And I'd like to ask: When for example - you use stock ROM with custom Kernel or you use custom ROM with custom Kernel and you decide to come back to stock ROM (new version release, or you come back to install another custom ROM etc etc) - how do you do the revert back?
I have been on this device for several days so still wondering, the 1st impression is that it's not very smooth, snappy and instant.

No I use Kingdroid rom ICS v2 and Franco kernel r5. With 1400 MHz, the quadrant score is about 4000 , with 1600 MHz, the quadrant score is about 4800. I do not know if you will have the same performance with stock rom.
Make sure you take the time to read up on the brick situations so you won't brick your brand new Note.

Thank you very mucho,
Is it possible I only do the SpeedMod kernel (I see the feedbacks indicating that it's better than the Franco) and my Note will be faster?
Once I only replace the Kernel, is it possible I update the stock ROM with another updated stock ROM version or custom ROM or I would have to come back to original stock and only then do the update?

If you flash a new ROM, it will flash the kernel that goes with it so you would need to re-flash speedmod or franco again.

1) I would say Franco because of OC capability but I haven't tested either.
2) I can't answer that. I hate the iPhone.
3) You just flash the stock ROM back and it will override the kernel. Just don't wipe data after you are on stock kernel.
4) I'm adding a number 4. Try CM9 build of something.

Lol,
1) Yeah coz I have been reading the feedbacks about SpeedMod 3-3 and seems like it's more stable
2) Ok let's take Ipad into consideration, what I'm trying to ask here is how to imrove the response of the Note. In fact the game fruit and ninja you will miss lot of fruits because the touch operations are not instant, the game is not laggy tho. Have a try
3) So from the Custom ROM just Install back the Stock ROM via Odin? In the Stock ROM if I wipe data (factory reset) there's possibility to brick the device right? I'm using the latest South-Asian version DXLP9 and I think I did the factory reset twice - thankfully the fone is working, but the laggy is still there.
4) Why you recommend to install a Custom ROM, the Stock + Custom kernel will not do the trick? I just want better battery and instant response

Hello,
Sorry for this very basic question, I am just wondering what is the difference between a Kernel and a ROM? I see in the development forum there are lots of new Kernels, what are these actually optimizing except underclocking or undervolting (understand that terminology). I am also wondering if the Kernels are specific for the original Nexus One 2.1 Android or can you install for example Modaco or Cyan ROM and then a different random Kernel?
Thanks!
To my understanding, a kernel is what directly interacts with the hardware. Every OS has this, but it's more customizable on our phones since it's based on Linux. The Rom contains the OS itself, and the software and file structure therein. The kernel even can tell the OS how fast the processor goes and how much juice to use from the battery.
Hope that makes sense, as I'm no expert. You can mix and match the two as far as I know. I've mixed them, anyway.
Halorin,
Based on what you said, with my stock vibrant ROM 2.1 JI6 update, it is possible to change the kernel or install another kernel (like the CM kernel)?

That is really a question better suited to the rom 's development thread, but in general yes you can flash a different kernel. Some kernel/rom combinations work better than others, but you really wont know until you try. Get comfortable with nandroid backups and start trying out different kernel combinations until you find one you like.
Usually most custom roms will include a kernel but they usually have tweaks like coding for 720p, oc, and audio tweaks and what not. Alsways do a nandroid back up and start exploring. When flashing kernels always wipe, I think their are exceptions but its best to wipe just in case. Browse XDA, download a kernel from your phone browser, rom manager install from SD, should be in your downloads folder, backup and wipe, repeat until your phone does what you want.

which is the better to install???
Thank you your post..
but i can't understand clearly.
so.,
which one is better to install NewRom / Kernal. for android phones.
Neither one is better it just depends on what you want to do.
If you want to totally change over your phone to look and function differently then you need to flash a ROM if you just want to keep the same look but want to enable lets say overclocking then flash an overclocked kernel. If it has to do with the hardware mostly then it's probably something that the kernel can change. Although like mentioned above if you flash a ROM most of the time it will come with a custom kernel.

What he said.
ROMs and kernels are two separate things that have two separate functions. Neither is better than the other, but they do complement each other.

I know both Dude Random21 and codesplice have gone into this, but to try and give a bit more info...
The kernel is kinda like the nervous system of the body. It directly interacts with the hardware (which is how it is able to adjust CPU speed) and it is what allows the ROM to function.
The ROM is the rest of the body. Every other aspect of the phone. In fact, most ROMs include custom kernels. Various ROMs give you various features/enhancements/bugfixes. You will probably notice the biggest change in your phone if you load a custom ROM. Most people load the custom kernels to help with battery life as a lot of them allow you to lower the phones minimum processing speed from 245Mhz to 128MHz.
The ROM can change so many different aspects of how the phone works. There is CyanogenMod which is based off of stock Android with a lot of tweaks, bugfixes, and new features added. There is also MIUI, which is similar to the iOS style (not the same, but much closer than stock Android), and then there are a ton others out there.
Then which Rom is best for my samsung galaxy s???
so i am using froyo.jpjpg on my galaxys.
i want to flash new Rom with upgaraded to gingerbread.
can i flash only rom../ kernal also.
which is best Rom for samsung galaxys.
cynogenmod, miui, .?????
battery drain is very fast now ian running rom/kernal.

Nandbackup + Rom & Kernel
One question: when I do a backup with CWM, it is the Nandroid backup you talk about, correct...? Same thing? So, if I do a backup with CWM, it's a backup only of the ROM, or also the stock Kernel...? Imagine that I do a Rom (GingerDX for example), and flash with a custom Kernel.... If things go bad and I do a restore from my backup (stock) CWM, what do I restore? Rom, or Rom + (stock) Kernel...?
Yes, a backup that is done in ClockworkMod (or Amon_RA) is considered a nandroid backup. And this takes a complete snapshot of your system. Your ROM, your kernel, your apps and your data are all inlcuded. The only thing that isn't included is the fat partition on your sdcard. So if things go bad and you restore your nandroid backup, it will go back to however it was when you made the backup.
thanks a lot. reading this thread clear up a lot of things
Hi!
I am currently running Lite'ning ROM 6.1. XXKH3 Kernel version 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ [email protected] #20 on SGSII. Phew.
I've tried a lot of ROMS including MIUI, villain, galmetMIUI ICS version . I like Lite'ning ROM because it gave me the least (virtually Nil) problems (FCs/ reboots) and has almost all the features I need (TV-out that's missing from MIUI, good camera with panorama mode, Recording mode in phone). However I miss the CIFS feature. Is it because the kernel does not support it? Can I get CIFS support if I flash another kernel? Any suggesstions on which Kernel should I flash? I realise that this ROM is pretty old now so Can I get additional features with a newer Kernel.

I used now Eclair and is good but i need change.
I need stable, fast and good Rom.
What can u do "offer"?
Try different ROM's and decide for yourself
i have tried just about every ROM on this forum and I always go back to HTCDevil's "fast and light ROM v2.0.
it is fast, light and stable. i would like to switch to one of the "froyo hacked" ROMs, but i need my video recorder ans more stability than the 2 i have tried provide for now (motofrenzy and bastardized).

Anything eclair based if you want stable, Personally I've had no massive issues with Bastardized and having Froyo is nice anyway. Sense ROMs are a bit slower due to the lack of RAM/Swap but still usable but not as a daily driver
im using cyanogenmod 6 from kabaldan, everything works fine and its really stable
I would try "CyanogenMod" works really great.
But more battery consumption.
App2sd @ FAT32 is awesome

i instaled cyan and i have many fc ;/
On fast and light rom fast consumtion battery.
And i return too EclairMod.

Telus Lite V4.1
CM 6 stopped all reboot issues from official Motocrap ROM for me.
I have a Milestone in Argentina and i flashed it with Telus 3.11 which in my opinion is for now the best stable ROM. You have to manual install the 3D Gallery as it does not come wit this ROM.
From Telus you can choose to flash CM6 (i think) which in my opinion is still buggy and lot of user report problems with that or this.
Other possibility is than Telus Light 4.x or the upcoming 5.x, but includes heavy overclock.
I my self stay with Telus 3.11, de installed all the system/app crap, some boot manipulations, root, and a own theme based on Buggless Evolution. I am happy with it. No overlock, etc. as i am not a guy who plays a lot of cpu intensive games.
Perhaps i am going to improving the java engine.
Resume: Flash Telus 3.11 and from there you go.
I'm happy with eclair v3a for now. Battery life and lack of viable camera keep me away from the Froyo roms. In my opinion regardless of what else might be packed inside, the eclair rom has some crap cleaned out of it, has superuser and overclocking and a some other bells or whistles and it all works.
Good enough for me till someone cracks the kernal or we get a real milestone froyo.
Regards, PK
P.S. I've heard this lament for other roms, why does ADW or power launcher seem jerky at higher clock speeds?
xslntx's telus lite rom v4 is amazingly fast and stable. A hybrid rom based on euro and telus. Governed over/under clocking so battery life is good, but power is there when needed. V5 is coming out which promises to speed things up even more.

at least majority of the framework + libs are original droid libs, and is as official as it can get..
but i guess camera was always an issue, but this is soon past tence, when we get a good kernel, i might just fix a final motofrenzy before it gets officially released, as cm6 is not official, but is based on custom compiles based off android opensource.
In my opinion, the best ROM nowadays is the Eclair-based EclairMOD v3B by 89luca89. Fast and stable, never a reboot! Froyo based ROMs are faster just running benchmarks, in everyday use I think Eclair is still a step forward..

Eclair is actually a step backwards... i am fortunate to have tested a 2.1 on Galaxy S which really shows why you would chose froyo compared to a 2.1 rom.
Imagine opening 5 different apps, having 2 flash videos running in different windows and a game as well..
handling is so much so faster which is memory + froyo handling on top.
secondly for milestone, you get the option to move apps (non-rooted) to a sdcard, which is thanks to froyo too...
with all the extra froyo adds in already existing semi-2.2 roms, you simply meant patience is gold, but for some, that is already found.. i have been very happy with milestone running motofrenzy and motosense , and note: no reboots!!
but lacks camera, but i could care less, as ms camera is not worth much anyways...
with the early release of froyo 2.2 kernel, im sure you will upgrade very soon...
either official or to a custom cmX rom.
Froyo is surely much better as specs, but for everyday use, 2.2 ROMs have more disavantages than avantages, starting from the camera, battery life, mobile overheating, random reboot.. I'm speaking on my personal experience, maybe I was just unlucky!
Overall speed is true, is better on Froyo, but overall I still prefer Eclair. I've tried all 2.2 roms here and no one works absolutely fine on my Milestone, as better roms will come out, I'll surely upgrade to 2.2.. but now, Eclair for me!

Hello Mods n Modders,
This is my 1st post and thanks to Admin for launching this website...
My SGS i9000 is currently on stock v2.3.4 JVR (rooted by flashing 'semaphore' kernel) and now I want to downgrade the current JVR to JVQ, in other words, I want to flash Darky's v2.2.2 ROM(w/o touchwiz), which is more stable I guess
So, is it possible to downgrade from JVR to JVQ without bricking my new Galaxy S??
Also answer.. is Darky's latest JVQ really stable than stock JVR (in terms of battery, speed and least buggs)??
Please help...
p.s: I can't post this question in Developer's section due to very less quantity of post
Yes u can downgrade by flashing JVQ from odin and download firmware from www.samfirmware.com
Sent From Galaxy S....using XDA App.
Creator Of Doctorz Rom.
I can't say that Darky's ROM is more stable, but it is faster, and obviously provides more functionality than the stock ROM.
If you're really set on speed, try Faryaab's F1 SGS2 ROM v6.
This is by far the fastest ROM I've tested, with all the stableness of most.
I've even tested the v7 released this week, but it is not nearly as fast, so I agree with the downgrading option because I've done the same.
I've tested 3 ROMs on JVS, and 3 on JVR, but this JVQ one is still my favourite.
Also note, that you can always flash the system apps you liked from the JVR version you were using previously, there should be some system apps around on here...I've flashed MMS, Camera, Email, and Phone from other ROMs I've liked.

hi ph03i!x_SA
I need a ROM to be very close to stock 2.4.3, - rooted, fast but not overclocked, and most important is the battery efficiency. Till now I have never been on Modded ROM. I liked the way you have customised SGS according to the stability and I wud really like to mod my SGS like that. I will try both of them
Custom ROMs don't always look different from stock

I think you mean 2.3.4?
You can still get the stock ROM, I think from samfirmware.com. Then, again, you can still flash custom apps, but you have to root the stock ROM.
Anything is possible, as long as someone has either released an app you like, or a version of the ROM you like.
I never thought I'd get so involved with this custom ROM stuff, I also like the stock firmware, but after I rooted, and the lag of updates from Samsung officially, the need arose. But the F1 ROM looks like the a cross between stock ROMs of SGS and SGS2, so it's still clean. None of that messy battery icons, custom notifications bar, etc. I don't like those.
Enjoy
Be careful, changing ROMs becomes addictive.

I agree with you.I used to do modding some 6-7 years ago on my old Motorola v3i and then on SE w810 ...but I will be sure I wont get involved in addictive stuff, since more responsible things have come up now!!
Hello, I recently bought myself a new Galaxy S i9000 for mostly multi-media purposes. I was looking for a smartphone that would suit my audiophilia needs and after lots of googling I found out that this is just the phone for that, so I bit the bullet and bought an unlocked one
Came in the mail today and I need your help with this! I've had androids before so I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem, however since I joined the galaxy S bandwagon quite late, I'm REALLY behind on Roms and such.
Obviously, since I bought such an old device, I had my reasons; which are music. I'm gonna root this soon and I wanna install a rom with these sort of features.
I need a rom thats:
-Smooth as it can be
-Has the Voodoo Sound Kernal (according to everybody, that's how one unleashes the full potential of the sound)
-....won't get rid of my unlock
I don't care for customization, games, social media, etc. I just want a rom that's smooth, responsive, and has voodoo so I can enjoy my music on the go
Thanks!
If you want to go for custom ROMs then CM 10 all the way, its nighty so is still has bugs. But is good enough for daily usage. And damn is smooth I will never go back to GB or anything else...
You can try also CM 9, there is a stable version. Look for it in the development section.
This phone once unlocked, will never lock again!! unless you want to

CM10 Definitely LOOKS smooth, but is it fast and responsive? I've seen youtube videos (the very few there are) of single core phones that can only handle CM10 somewhat OK....they are somewhat smooth, but unresponsive when it comes to opening apps and menus (lots of loading and stuff). So is CM10 for this phone fast as well as smooth?

JB Custom Rom C-RoM Mix or C-RoM BeaN are highly recommended. You won't get disappointed with these Roms.
I've tried several Custom Roms, but i found C-RoMs to be the best, very fast, smooth, responsive, and stable.
This JB Custom C-RoM was benchmarked by Ratborg to be the fastest JB Custom Rom.
The kernel (Semaphore) supports Voodoo Sound.

Wow this is great, thanks alot friend!
Umm, but could you help me out I've flashed ROMS before but I've never flashed a kernel ever. How do I safely and efficiently do that? I just rooted my device and am now running stock 2.2 . How do I go on about flashing the kernal and the Rom? This looks amazing!

The Rom contains the Kernel already, so unless you want to change or upgrade the built-in Kernel that's the time you have to flash it.
Flashing of Rom or Kernel usually can be made through CWM by going into Recovery Mode.
If you're coming from Gingerbread, the safest procedure is to flash an ICS CM9 first before this recommended C-RoM (which is based on CM10 and AOKP), this is to avoid getting your IMEI invalid.
During flashing of a Rom, you will have to re-flash twice or sometimes 3x before getting successful due to Android system and Partition Layout differences.
Don't forget to backup your important database and applications via Titanium Backup or GoBackup so you can restore them back after successfully flashing the new Rom.
Good luck and enjoy flashing.
Try this configuration, i have it my self... it runs really well, is not unresponssive at all, maybe some hiccups but overall is good.

Alright so this ROM contains the "sephamore" kernal with voodoo sound itself? Cool! Um, so I first flash a CM9 ROM, and then from there flash this?

Yes the Rom contains Semaphore kernel and yes you have to flash CM9 first and from there flash C-RoM.
Semaphore kernel supports vodoo sound but i think you have to install an application that produces the voodoo sound itself. I'm not sure but you have to further research on this.

I am on stock Xlt5 rom and philz kernel with all bloats removed (including kies etc). My rom was good for a couple of days but then it started to lag and now it lags as much as a few seconds when I click to do something. I have tried many custom roms but the custom roms always have some issues. I like stock look because I don't do any fancy tricks with my phone. I use my phone as a tool so I would like to see it as stock as possible without extreme tweaks. I have also flashed some other stock roms with bloat removed and I get the same lags after a few days. So now I am about to just ditch this phone as I have come to believe the JB update on this phone is total crap. The same 4.1.2 on samsung galaxy s2 is great and buttery smooth but on note we have nothing but headaches in hand.
I would like to know which stock rom and kernel is without lags or with minimum lags and without any bugs.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Best rom thread..is against XDA rules. Anyways, answer for your question, Stock XXLT9 + Philz XXLT9 OR Sweet Rom V10 (with Philz XXLT9)- this is Custom rom & not stock
