[Q] Froyo VS Gingerbread

Hi guys,
I´ve tried most of the cooked JVH roms for SGS i9000 and also the stock roms.
Is it just me or is the Gingerbread JVH rom slower and less stable than the Froyo roms?
Why should I use Gingerbread when I Froyo is faster, more stable and the battery life is better.
What is your experience?

On my phone gingerbread is faster but very unstable, drains my battery, apps rebooting system, wifi sometimes cant reconnect after reboot just useless i have a feeling that ginger is in beta state and was never finished by samsung
i have also tryied almost every rom modyfied and untouched - all having different or same symptoms of instability funny fact is - most developers saying that everything works fine

I must admit that I've never (yet...) had any of those problems you read about all over the forums ... Speed is similar (or even better) to what I had on Froyo, and battery life has certainly improved with GB.
I'm currently on GingerReal 5.1 and although I've only used it for a couple of days, it hasn't let me down yet. Guess I'm one of the lucky few ...

I am going with GB, cuz of battery life and performance (i think it's slightly better than Froyos)

That is my feeling also. Although i had no really big problems with gb i went back to froyo. The current gb roms have nothing on the latest froyos. I like to have a rock solid phone and right now jsd is it for me. No advantage running the gb roms right now, in fact its a step backwards.

Cool, so Im not the only one having these issues. Well I guess I will go back to Ultimate or darkys running froyo then. Worst part is that SwiftKey is not working in the email client

"less stable" meaning what?
for me GB is infinitely better including battery life
@Raider0001....have you tried factory reset?

i had no problem since i was started using 2.3.3 gb room and its getting my phone looks so nice, rockn' and thanks for GB costum room!

True, almost nothing to add. GBs theme is very nice, had not many problems with JVO - but I like to sleep knowing that battery is not empty when it's alarm time in the morning That is the main reason for me switching back to a customized JSD which runs without problems - except a camera freeze after taking a picture sometimes (not very often so that's ok for me).

+1 - checked almost all gb ROM. Always problems with battery life or FC. Today I flashed back Darky 9.5 with Crysis Revolution theme and now have no problems. I like MIUI but there is terrible battery drain.

Oh man i did everything to get rid of the most annoying bug which is battery drain (spent 2 weeks searching for stability), factory reset 10 times or more. Maybe not all i9000 are same in hardware because there are many without problems and many with.

I installed GB stock (JPJV6) yesterday to give it a try.. (Have already tried all GBs).
The only problem I'm facing with it is the lag in flyover movement in applications menu... It was very smooth on Froyo 2.2.1 (JPJPM, JPJPY).. That is really annoying

Gingerbread, because CM7 is gingerbread =]
If I was still on Samsung roms, I'd probably still be using froyo tho, it's stability is peak.

If someone honestly tells me that they have these issues when following best flashing practice, i.e. ensure they don't install a clean GB rom over debris from earlier roms and I'll start to listen.
Honestly...format internal SD, factory reset, flash with PIT and repartition, factory reset (again)...then NOT restore apps AND DATA from an old rom.
If all the above is done and the installation is truly clean and there are still issues I'll start to believe*
*in the tooth fairy at least

Froyo All Tha Wayyyyyy!!!!!!
JSD 1432 vs JVO 1025 benchmarks both without lag fix, no os bug on jsd 40% os bug on jvo sure ginger theme looks awesome but for what do you want a great looking car that does 15 miles per gallons???????

Well I actually did that on JVO factory and usb erase but the bug came back the third day

Im having a lot of issues with VPN and also with usb audio while docked on GB on Froyo those features were working fine

Speed is faster, at least twice as fast on gingerbread out of the box.
For battery, take out the battery for a few mins and then reboot, then gb battery is at least twice as good too

hey guys, I'd like some feedback on this if you're experiencing the same..
it seems that the TV out quality deteriorated a bit on gingerbread than in froyo.. i flashed stock froyo DXJPA and stock gb XXJVH to compare and there really is a difference.. sorry i don't have a pic to demonstrate, but an apparent deterioration i noticed is that a list divider (the line in the list menu like settings) is not shown when it is in the dead center of the screen.. but when i scroll it just a bit, it shows..
also, still an issue with tv out, the video controls overlay on the video player is seen on the phone but not on the screen.. this happens on gb but on froyo, it is exactly what you see on the screen.. it is also apparent in other video players like mVideoPlayer
lastly, subtitles don't appear on the TV in gb but they do in froyo.. tried in stock video player and mVideoPlayer..

GB Best in ever thing

Openzio reveiw 2.2.1

I would like to first start by saying that for this to be a first build it is astronomical ive had some cyanmod builds back when i had my mytouch and hero that wasnt as great but with that said i must give some constructive criticism the audio kernel needs some work, and vtl fc's alot the battery life omg the battery life i did do the bat. stat reset trick and it helped a little bit also i exp. black and gray bars sometimes when i would wake the phone i absoultly love the build and much kudos to all the programmers i know that feed back helps so if yall need a season tester let me know i gotcha

I'm sure they appreciate your honesty, but I... can't really make out 25% of that post.

This is the first time I've ever heard of these issues with the openZio rom.
My audio is at least as good as stock. VTL never force closes.
No Grey & black bars.
The battery life is greatly improved with the setcpu profiles.
Did you follow the openZio rom instructions carefully and in sequence after the first boot?

I did them all to a T! I got poor audio, wifi goes in and out and everything takes forever to load no matter what it is!

Looks like you guys are the proverbial needles in the haystack.
If factory reset and reflashing doesnt do it for you, just go back to stock.
Some things to note:
CALIBRATE YOUR BATTERY.
Make sure your ROOTED (or setcpu and autokiller profiles wont work)
Use SetCPU!!
If you are using TIBackup to restore apps, DO NOT RESTORE DATA!!! ONLY APP!! And never,, NEVER SYSTEM DATA!!!! (only after you have backed up WITH an OpenZio ROM can you restore app data and system data)
The audio issues they are referring to (Im sure) is the monotone bug (plug in a headset and it plays monotone). To fix this, unplug the headphone with music going, wait 3 sec. and plug it back in.
Lets be clear, This is NOT an OpenZio Bug. It is a Zio build bug related to the stock kernel!!
The battery issues? Come on guys, theres a cheap little 1100mAh battery in these things.... The battery life just stinks to begin with. If you calibrate your battery PROPERLY, and use setCPU, it counterbalances the CPU overclock. Make sure your 3g data signal strength is good, because these phones eat up the battery on weak 3g signals (if you are in a weak area, turn off auto-sync to help in saving battery life.)

OpenZio...
hey guys,
totally new to posting on XDA, but i have been reading a lot about the OpenZio platform. i like 90% of what i have read ( the other 10% I'm sure is just noobs like me not paying attention the the directions ) anyways, i have a few questions that i cant seem to glean answers for out of the forums,
what version of android is OpenZio built on? ( i Just upgraded to FroYo and i kinda like the features i have with it, mainly App 2 SD, and i dont want to lose that feature )
do i need to install the android SDK? ( it seems unclear weather or not i need the SDK installed in order to install the ROM. )
how the heck do you get ClockWorkMod to work on the Zio? ( since hearing about OpenZio i have been trying to figure out how to install it on my Cricket Zio but everywhere i turn seems to say that the CWM wont work on it. )
It may be my noob-ness showing but i really hate the fact that i know nothing about flashing roms. i am a quick learner and i would love to learn more about this. ( truthfully i cant stand the stock Cricket Android ROM on my phone )
And i would love to get rid of the Bloatware that they've put into it... oh and the status bar could do with a makeover too. i've seen so many android phones that have better looking icons and status bar colors that when i look at my zio i :'(
and there doesn't seem to be anything in the market that can change the status bar.
thank you for reading this

Dear Fauxfire27;
OpenZio ROM is 2.2.1
No SDK required.

thankx spz0 i bow to your excellence and i have one more question.
what do you recommend i use to backup my zio. ( just in case i screw the whole thing up. )

Create a backup using CWM

ok thanks again ))) this just backs up the rom to the sd card right? and if it does i can copy it over to my computer and save it there right?

it works!!!!!!! yeay !!!! spz0 you are the best!!!! as soon as i have money i am so totally going to donate to your cause !!!!
you rock!!!!!

[Q] Phone Unresponsiveness

Hello Community!!
I am seeing a problem with my Revo, and I'm putting it out here because you guys are good at finding answers.
I am running Gingervolt 1.3 with the blitzkreig kernel installed. I have previously tried Hicks' little ICS responsiveness script.
Here is my problem. Most days after little to moderate use, Phone/text, I have to reboot my phone by either soft reboot (power button) or a hard reboot (battery pull) because nothing at all is responding. By nothing I mean, touch the screen..nothing, open a program...nothing...etc.
It is a slow degrade sometimes where (and my wife has mentioned it using my phone) that the touch screen is really really laggy and non responsive, especially when using a keyboard or even trying to play angry birds.
I have done a full wipe including data, cache, dalvik. I have formatted my internal and removable SD card, I have not used previous backups, instead resorted to downloading programs and installing from scratch.
This is a very frustrating issue. If it was a computer I'd say either the processor was overworking, or the ram was used up. But since we don't use program killers in GB I'm kind of at a loss. And I'm tired of having to wipe my phone every few days just so I have meh performance (and no, I'm not hating on the phone, or the rom or any of the developers, nor do I have any interest in changing phones,etc)
I'm just looking for suggestions/solutions etc. I'm sure I missed something in my troubleshooting steps.
Thanks in advance for those who read through this and try to give a hand. I appreciate it.

Wow. Since you've already gone to extreme measures, I'm at a loss. My suggestion would be to freeze the apps you do install to look for a culprit there. Or, don't install any and see how the phone performs.
I restored a nandroid prior to Google's 10¢ apps promo and my phone is back in fine form. It was lagging badly before that. I was rebooting daily. Now I go for days and the phone's solid.

I was experiencing similar issues about a week after updating to blitzkrieg 1.0. I restored from backup and it's been stable since. I just installed 2.0 today, so I'm curious to see if it'll have the same effect.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium

I can't say yet whether or not 2.0 has added to or taken away from the response type issues. I did have to do a couple of battery pulls yesterday just to get firefox to do anything. I'm going to uninstall that one. I may, just for S&G's do one more factory wipe and put all the tweaks and mods in place before downloading anything but the most essential programs. I did this phone, but the unresponsiveness sometimes can be a real pain.

What do you have it clocked at? I have issues at 1.9 so maybe back it down a bit. I get lots of screen freezes and have had some rebooting issues at 1.9

Currently I have it at 1.7, before when it was really bad, the oc wasn't sticking and I was at 1024, so not overclocked much. I am sure its an app that is causing the problem, but I'm not sure what.

I've never had this type of issue using Blietzkreig or any of the other tweaks so I'd guess you're right in thinking it's an app. Since you've pretty much tried everything else I would say maybe try going back to complete stock then rooting again? That just seems like what I would try if I had tried everything else and nothing worked.
And yeah you definitely don't want to overclock too much because it could definitely damage the hardware of your phone since it's not meant to run at that level. But you said you had it at 1.0ghz so it doesn't seem like that is the problem unless the damage was cause when running at 1.7ghz. I had mine at 1.9 and didn't see any issues except my phone randomly started to vibrate for a while then just restart. It did that twice when i first flashed everything but it seems fine now. I brought it down to 1.0ghz just cuz i'm not really using it now and I don't want it causing any problems with the hardware.

Thanks for the Feedback everyone. I am not sure what the issue is/was/going to be. I think Firefox was a big part of it and I have since removed it. But I am still getting random freezes, almost like the deep sleep while the screen is on. Oh well, maybe I do need to go back to complete stock.

[Q] Extremely slow, everything

I was deleting apps and files, no problem. And I think I was going so fast that maybe I hit delete all be accident when I was trying to delete google talk and EVERYTHING is deleted. My phone when black except for the notification bar, the phone was still charging and my F Secure program was going crazy keeping the memory card and all.
I just stayed like that for about 30 seconds and the screen blank except for the status bar and finally it slowly came back. First my back ground, then the apps. First it was slow and about 2 minutes it is back to normal, EXCEPT...
Now when I go into ES File Explorer, everything is gone, it says that ll my folders are empty. I pulled the battery and restarted and things seem to be extremely slow now. But I do have my list back and everything is fine but very slow.
How do I fix this?

You could have wrong rights on folders. If you have CWM then reboot into it and then go to Advanced and there should be an option to "fix permissions" or something. Use it and it should be fine (at least it should not make things worse ).

Bringing this back to life because I notice there is a big problem. My phone is EXTREMELY slow. It takes about 10 seconds to open every single app. Right when I got Gingerbread it was extremely fast, but after the incident happened above its very slow.
Even scrolling through my list of apps, which is a small list, it is very slow and does not scroll smoothly. Whats going on?

Have you got a Custom Rom or do you use Stock Rom?

100% stock, besides being rooted.
Funny thing, I started deleting more apps, and I deleted a 3G counter and it seems to have made things faster now. But we'll see how it goes. With this phone, it seems its fast one day but slow another. Presently, it is fast again.
Thanks for the reply though. Avoid the program Onavo, it would take about 10 seconds to type one word in a SMS. Sorry for crying wolf again.

Why not flashing a decent (custom) ROM?

Time for a full flash lol

[Q] ROM's progressively get slower after each use

Quick one here, I hope. I flash a new ROM everyone few weeks or so and when I do it seems very fast at first then just starts to chug like no other. Happens with CM9, CM10, AOKP, Slimbean, helly bean, etc. I know it's not the ROM then. I do the standard wipe/reset and then flash the ROM, then flash the Gapps, then let it boot up and go from there. Not sure if I really need to wipe the cache partition, or cache, or davlik cache...but usually do. Why do they always seem to slow down so easily ?
I use a wiki widget, sound search, and the clock... nothing more and close apps out often. It just seems to chug when just navigating, or going through pictures, or just typing. Any ideas or good habits I should have ? Thanks !

Bad question? Anyone I can ask ? Thanks

One thing that I found to help was to reboot the phone every night. I flashed often, so I set schedule in titanium backup premium to redo my backup every night, and then reboot the phone. This dramatically helped the rom slowdown.

I agree with this. Also, all roms naturally tend to get slower after use. One reason they get slower is due to human psychology. We become used to the rom's speed, so it seems slower after a period of time. Another reason is all the data that is created after you start using a rom. During day to day usage of your phone, a lot of caches and personal data is stored, so they clunk up your system and ultimately slow down your phone. Rebooting deletes a lot of temporary caches and restarts services that may have started leaking memory, so it speeds up your phone.
