[Q] laggy!!!

my 10 day old galaxy s is very laggy!!! it is rooted too.. can anyone help me please and can someone tell me how do i unroot... i rooted with chainfire's cf-root.. thanks

If you find it laggy now, unrooting it would probably be the wrong step to take, as root is required for the majority of modifications you can do to your phone.
Overclocking your phone will provide you with more performance. I would also recommend checking out Pikachu01's scripts, as they will help immensely. Also, make sure none of your apps are monopolizing your CPU in the background.
I'm sure others will have a ton more advice to give. Tweak your phone to work how you want it and you'll be more than pleased, I guarantee it. My SGS certainly does not lag on me, but it did take a little tweaking to get it there. Good luck!

If you want someone to help you, you need to provide more information. What version of firmware are you currently running?

First of all thank you everyone for your time...
yes my galaxy s is very laggy and im using
Firmware: 2.3.3 (updated by kies)
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I Know unrooting will make lag more but i want to know a solution for unrooting in case i need my warranty back....

Upgrade to 2.3.6 JVZ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Root with Semaphore 2.1.1 JVZ here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
Follow all instructions on how to flash in first link. There are screenshots and intructions on How to Flash. Notes: Use the 512pit file, and when you flash semaphore, put it in the PDA section. Put phone in Download mode, power down completely, and press power, home and volume down.
If you want your phone fast and lag free then you may have to step outside your comfort zone. You will not find a magic app to make your current firmware fast, its just not. The links Ive given you have downloads and info on how to make your phone fast and lag free. The first link will even contain a download of your current firmware. To find out exactly what your current firmware is, including PDA, Phone and CSC, open up your dialer and press *#1234#, write that info down it will be helpful for you identifying what to download in case you want to flash back to stock for warranty purposes.

My friend also said his lagged after rooting, there is a unrooting script

Just download Semaphore or TalonDEV kernel AND Thunderbolt scripts that you need.
Unrooting shall accomplish nothing. You need a new kernel and scripts/tweaks like Thunderbolt has.

NO i don't want to unroot but i want to know if there is a possibility to do it... I son't want to flash other kernels because my phone is 10 days old (11)) i just want it to become like when i purchased it.. thanks you guys for your support and your time...

You won't lose your warranty because of root. Samsung does not care if phone is rooted or not. Just like the others say : download a custom firmware with custom kernel and use pikachus thunderbolt scripts.
This is the only way to help you

To unroot you just have to flash the stock firmware that came with your phone (you can see a list in SamMobile site). Easier way if you just want to unroot is to flash stock kernel (unrooted one).

If you just want to phone to its original state when you bought it. Then power it down. Then hold power, home, and volume up all together. This will put you into recovery mode. Do a wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone. If you're still not satisfied with your phone then also reformat your internal usb under settings> storage. You will lose all info on your phone so do a back up of important data. This is where root is good because you can use titanium backup. After reset your phone will however still be rooted.... But you won't be even close to unleashing the real full potential of your phone unless you upgrade your firmware and kernals with Thunderbolt.

Gingerbread has always been laggy due to lack of ram. If you want a really good and absolutely lag-free rom, I really recommend that you flash your phone to Froyo 2.2.1 (ZSJPK). It has been the best rom I've used, compared to JVT, JVZ, AOSP ICS roms, and a bunch of other custom roms.

Agree about GB, its best if you remove all the Samsung bloatware and services, and try not to use apps that use up RAM via services.
I use stock jvt with all the bloat removed, a nice theme, and semaphore 2.4.0 bm and it runs very well. I do have to freeze facebook when not in use, but it makes a difference. I also tuned ext4

Well why don't you flash a custom rom, there are plenty of them with amazing speeds and you shud try them, also you can simply use a lag fix like the one from voodoo if you don't want to get into the rome and stuff.

another question guys.. i have 2.3.3.. i tried to update ( through kies) but it says i'm up to date.. because the thunderbolt kernel requires minimum 2.3.4, how do i update it???

I 'm a noob here !!

i will buy a used galaxy tab p1000 next week ... i have lg optimus black and it have no support at all . so i guess i will find alot of support here in galaxy tab forum and alot of roms
i cant understand any thing about flashing - roms- recovery - nightly - rc !!! alot of these stuff i found and alot of download links and alot of names so i get confused and these things become complix for me !!
i want to download ics on my galaxy tab the moment i buy it i don want to work on gingerbird
so i want any one here to help me with this problem ... i need to know these basics , how to , stable rom , etc

also can i use ics my daily use ? from ur usage to the galaxy tab working with ics , is it fast as froyo ? is it totally compatible ? can i run all programs and games ? does it lag alot and force close alot of prog ?

I am using AOKP build 40.
Faster than froyo, a lot more available apps in market because it is ICS.
no FC at all.
EDIT: using your term then, Force Close (FC)

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.

[GENERAL] SGM 2 S6500 / S6500D General Info / FAQ / Q&A

Last update / revision - 20th Jan. 2013 . If this date is older than a week , it means the thread may be outdated .
Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 ( S6500 / S6500D ) General Info / FAQ / Q&A / General Discussion Thread​
Since the Mini 2 users have exploded all over the forum after Squadzone's topic was closed , I figured we could use a general thread where we could stack up all the info we have so far , as well as keep it updated with the new things that will come in the future .
Note that I will not be adding releases that have not been verified by other users . You will only find here WORKING stuff that has been TESTED by other users .
General Info
Phone specs :
CPU : Qualcom MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 (ARMv7)
RAM : 512MB
Internal Storage : 4GB
1 GB reserved for the ROM
1 GB reserved for the app system data
2 GB available to the user
3.3" Display , HVGA resolution (320x480)
Full phone specs : http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_mini_2_s6500-3883.php
Releases and links
What we have so far for this device is :
NEW !!! Network unlock : click!
Custom CWM , Kernel and Root for this device by Squadzone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768622
// kernel link is dead , here's the link for the overclock kernel ONLY (not the universal one) : http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/63850072/file.html
Alternative rooting methods - SOME USERS SAY THAT BY USING mb-14's METHOD HERE ONLY TO ROOT YOUR PHONE , THE BIN COUNTER WILL NOT RISE , SO IF YOU ONLY WANT ROOT ON YOUR PHONE , TRY THIS , BUT BEWARE THAT IT DIDN'T WORK FOR EVERYONE AND FOR SOME THE BIN COUNTER HAS STILL MODIFIED!
Custom ROMs section :
Peter's ROM (S6500 / S6500D)
Rhan's ROM (S6500D)
Regina ROM (S6500D)
Development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1869
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 6500 and 6500D ?
S6500 has NFC , S6500D doesn't .
Is there an ETA for when we will have ICS / JB on our device ?
Samsung has announced that they will roll out an update to JB sometime in the future . Unfortunately , it is still uncertain if that will actually happen .
As for custom roms , there are currently some developers trying to port ICS / JB (CM 9 and 10) on Mini 2 but unfortunately it is quite hard because they do not have the device . If you want to help them , be sure to check the forum and if they need anything from a Mini 2 owner , please try to help them , as it will speed up the process of porting ICS / JB .
What Odin version do you recommend to use for flashing ?
Look in the attachments . I have used this one personally and it works like a charm .
I have another CWM version on my phone , and when I flashed a new firmware / did a factory reset , the phone bootloops into recovery mode . What do I do ?
Re-flash the exact same CWM that is now bootlooping . I had this problem twice and it fixed it for me both of the times . You could also try reflashing a new one , but I have no idea if it will fully work or if it will damage your phone in any way . Quick tip : After you managed to exit the bootloop and your phone works okay , reflash the newest CWM (listed above) so you won't have to deal with this problem in the future .
I have flashed a firmware with Odin but when I turn on the phone normally , it says there was a problem installing the firmware and I should connect it to Kies for emergency firmware recovery . However , Kies doesn't see my device . What do I do ?
Forget about Kies . Boot the phone into download mode and reflash it with Odin . If the problem still persists , try reflashing another one . Also , make sure you have "Repartition" unchecked in Odin !
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU ARE FLASHING A COMPATIBLE FIRMWARE FOR YOUR PHONE . It is recommended that you flash a firmware that is dedicated to your region , model (6500 / 6500D) and carrier (if we are talking about official firmwares) .
What would you recommend to use and not to use with my Mini 2 ?
To use :
Squadzone's CWM , Root and OC Kernel only (and those if you REALLY want to . It's always the best to keep your phone clean , but if you wanna go into modding , it's best to only use these as they are quite stable) .
GO Launcher (for extra style) . Mini 2 can swallow it just fine and it gives a stylish look . Here's a sample (one of my old screens) : http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg85...ename=55512243761373961697410.jpg&res=landing
DirectoryBind : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 . This one is very useful and powerful if you want to link game data from your external SD card . It basically makes the phone see external SD folders inside the internal SD (also known as mounting) . My advice is that you link the sdcard/Android to the sdcard/external_sd/Android folder , and if you have Gameloft games , link sdcard/gameloft/games to external_sd/gameloft/games too .
Not to use :
Swapper 2 (along with Squadzone's universal kernel) - it will brick your device and you won't be able to go into download / recovery mode .
ROM Manager - it will possibly brick your device as well .
General Discussion - what to talk about here and what not to
You can post anything Mini 2 related in this topic . Wether you are having a problem with your device , if you released anything , if you found a fix or a trick for something , if you want to make any guide , anything at all . However , please keep development-related posts in the development section linked above .
Hope you've found all the info in here useful . As I said , I will keep the post updated with the latest info and releases .
Again if you have any problem with your Mini 2 , don't hesitate to ask . I have pretty much fricked up my Mini 2 in almost every possible way , so it's likely that I have a fix for it xD
Have a nice day!

SAMSUNG said:
We appreciate the chance to clarify to you.
Hence, we do understand the dissatisfaction you are having with the support on the said models. However, please be advised that updating this models to a higher version like ICS 4 or the Jellybean will not do good on the device as the device specification (hardware wise) are not opt to work with the specification required by ICS 4 or Jellybean operating systems.
As we know, Galaxy Mini 2 is provided with Gingerbread 2.3.6 and although we understand you want an ICS 4 update or higher, it is not possible to provide due to hardware limitation.
Thank you.

Well we still have the option of a custom ROM ... that's still compatible enough . It's not like Mini 2 is among the weakest android phones out there . Mini 1 supports CM 10 ffs xD
The thing is we will have to wait until a developer will be able to port it . It seems Samsung didn't send it on the market in too many countries , and that's a problem because that makes it harder for a dev to get their hands on one .
All we can do right now is wait , and if anyone decides to start porting ICS / JB ROMs for our device , try to offer them as much support as we can .

TheWhisp said he might try to make something for SGM2, after he settle hes actual work with SGM.

You can use Peter's Rom (look in my signature) if you want , but if it's for your mother , I guess it's better to stick to the stock rom because it's more stable .

Works well for me . You can try flashing Squadzone's CWM , the rooting it and then installing the OC kernel and overclock it to 1.1 GHz . That should make it run faster (links for everything in my signature) .

Thank you! I'll try it and I keep you updated!

There is something that should be known by SGM2 users... Squadzone specified on his root method that the custom binary counter will be modified and then a yellow triangle will appear when the phone boots. Whats interesting is that the mb-14 method is not modifying the counter and the triangle will not appear if you choose to root the phone with his method. This way you can hope to not loose the warranty and be able to install back the stock firmware through Odin without modifying the number of custom bin counter.
mb-14's CWM is showing that you have a S7500 but it doesn't matter because its working fine, at least for some basic root functions. I used mb's method only for basics and then I wanted to try the Regina ROM (with modified kernel and BLN support) which recommended the squadzone's CWM and just after I changed the root method I saw whats about the triangle and the counter.
Long story short, if there is someone who wants to root his phone only for root access and nothing more (like overclocking or BLN control), he could use mb-14 method which doesn't affect the custom binary counter even when you install back the stock ROM.

im just curios about why still many development going on for mini but not mini2?
in term of spec mini2 is way higher but getting less user

Well, I don't know if I did something wrong but I have "2" in custom bin counter when I flashed mb-14's CWM the 2 times I had (I faced a CWM bootloop so I had to flash it again). I downloaded and flashed this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?1f3vqo44jl34tcd. Well, it doesn't matter! I have root in my phone (it was what I needed) and I won't flash again until I see CM available in my phone (I miss it so badly...)
Thank you very much for your info! Have a great day!

I9000 still useable?

Hi,
About a year ago I bought my wife an i9000 off ebay. It is the UK unlocked version. It came with the stock rom. I rooted it and have installed various different roms over the year. At first, the phone was fine, but its gradually got slower and now, it's almost unusable. The phone constantly lags, hangs, crashes etc. It drives the wife up the wall and I get it in the neck.
I finally decided to go back to the last official gingerbread rom to see if that would help (XXJVU), but its the same.
I am starting to think that the phone simply isn't powerful enough to run today's versions of the apps a smartphone should be able to run. Her list of 'must have' apps, on top of what's installed as standard is as follows:
Apps that will run in the background:
Facebook app and widget
accuweather app and widget
BBC news app and widget
stock calander widget
viber
Apps that will be opened and closed:
skype
memoires diary app
adobe reader
google translate app
samsung mobile print app
CTK (Czech news app)
Is this list of apps excessive? Should an i9000 be able to run today's versions of these apps without any problems? A lag here and there won't bother her, it's the freezing and crashes that drive her crazy.
If the above should be possible, could someone recommend a ROM or ROM/kernel combo that would work? I don't care if its stock or custom, or what version of android it is, I just want the phone not to freeze.
Thanks

My suggestion is gamerzrom ive been running it and its perfect no freezes or crashes and ive been running much more than you mentioned above. The phone is still going strong

Hi, if u already suitable with flashing, then its easy, GB got really good sense on videos n app but its to buggy to use, Using ram manager n sometimes reboot ur fone will clearing cache so ur fone will be fast again, but only on limited time. Cache will start to bulky n slowing down da fone.
If ur familiar with flashing, then upgrading ur fone to ICS or JB is wise decision. As 4.x Android have a good ram manager n easy to use, and did say, clearing cache would be good but sometimes check ur internal sd if it get too bulky. Insufficient space will makes operation apps to became failure as app need space to launch either in RAM or sd.
and still, if ur fone still became lag or slow, after upgrading, i suggest u use some script available here in XDA to make ur fone systems manageble like supercharger or fly on script.
but be xtra careful and read carefully before doing something. Doesnt want to risk bricking ur fone rite, so Good Luck

Ok, I've installed the latest slim bean, and I want to try the mods you suggested above. Could you explain what you've installed from slaid and supercharger?
Have you patched services.jar?
It all looks a bit complicated to me..
Thanks.

Its known that antutu scores and any benchmark scores mean nothing the performance shows in games. Benchmark scores change if you make 50 tests itl be always different .
Yes i suggest gamerzrom because it has everything in one package no scrips needed. The dev tried everything out and used only the best in his rom and so far its flawless

GamerzRom it's closed at the moment.
I haven't tried it so I can't comment on it's performance.
I've flashed countless Roms and in my experience I'm most satisfied with C-RoM Mix.

if u choose GB, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and choose any 2 attached link (CM or Stock (not both) ) then choose what Ram Manager u wanna use and copy it to internal sd. Boot to recovery and flash RAM MANAGER first, then da Fly On script after. Reboot. Thats all.
If u from ICS/JB Rom (custom or stock)
Hav u rooted? Root first and update ur superuser binary. And ur chosen rom must have kernel that support init.d (see if u got init.d folder in /system/etc/ thats all. or juz ask ur ROM dev
1. Download script manager from GPlay
2. Download this script (.sh) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1200973&d=1342401278 and dont change anything. Save da script inside root of internal sd
3. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and download da 1 of 2 last attachment (choose it, CM or STOCK depend on ur ROM. Most custom rom based on CM Nightlies)
4. Choose any RAM Manager u wanna used (for me its hard multitasking)
5. save it at da root of ur internal sd.
6. Run script manager and choose da script from supercharge RC10, dont forgot to tick da skull (permission from superuser).
7. Read carefully da instruction in script manager. As it will tell u everything, u can choose no for all except da one that change ur services.jar, click yes for it.
8. After da script done, it will ask u to reboot. Juz say no and it will come back to da main menu, Now u can choose again of 34 option (maybe got more option, i juz forgot about it) from script. Juz see da option to unsupercharger and choose it (coz u just want it to patched da services.jar, not to use da supercharge. Only RC10 have da option to alter da services.jar quite easily or if u wanna da hard way, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16635544&postcount=2 )
9. Follow any of da instruction. , it juz wanna to revert back to normal, except for da services.jar
10. Reboot. Now u hav alter ur services.jar.
Now reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
1. In recovery, choose to install zip, dan choose RAM MANAGER first.
2. After it done, choose da fly on script and flash it.
3. Reboot after it done.
in case of update da script,
1. delete da RAM Manager in /system/etc/init.d and delete file named ram_manager. (or if ur recovery got option to clear init.d juz pick it.)
2. Reboot to recovery and as usual, repeat da above instruction (juz for da script, altering services.jar already been done) and dont forget, any changes must be followed by wiping cache.
thats all and if in case u dont hav guts to try, dont do it.

Wow. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
I have followed them and done everything you said. The phone seems to run a lot smoother now. I just hope that it stays that way and doesn't start to slow down after time.
The slim rom comes with the semaphore kernel which does not seem to have the ability to overclock. Can I install a new kernel with that rom to enable overclocking?
Thanks

Semaphore can overclock the system. However it needs it's own app - semaphore manager. With that app you'll get a few nifty features on top so it's worth downloading anyway.

find semaphore manager from stores
however, any circumstances occur over OC will not be my reeponsibilities.

screenlock on i9000 and way forward
Hi guys,
cool to see there are still some SGS activities going on with that device. Since I have my GNEX I did not look at my SGS anymore.
So, had it in my hands yesterday and thought about updating it.
Problem I have is: I can not access the phone anymore because I dont remember the screenlock anymore (numbers) ;-(
The phone is fully rooted and unlocked with a
Darky Rom and
Dark kernel
Via the lockscreen I can boot to Recovery (CWM) or Download mode (as well as via the buttons of course)
Question: is there a similar tool like the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit for backing up or do a nandroid with the SGS?
I guess I have 2.3.x version running currently.
Well the external SD i backuped already - but I am afraid there is still some stuff i would like to get before wiping..
Would be great if you could help me out.

Lol man, you can't use official Facebook app on the phone, It's the slowest s*it ever made . Use m.facebook.com in browser, or any alternative Facebook client instead, official Facebook app kills all the performance .
Install GamerzROM, delete the MORPH folder from the .zip file BEFORE installation. Do NOT restore any apps using TitaniumBackup or similar. If your phone gets too slow, use Clean Master to clean the cache, that helps too (use especially this app!). Do NOT use custom launcher, use Xperia launcher, which is pre-installed in GamerzROM, it's really fast . Do NOT install any additional performance tweaks, because the best ones are pre-installed in GamerzROM.
My phone is blazing fast with these settings, hope I helped . BTW také jsem z České Republiky, zdravím
Edit: I just noticed that there ain't no download link for GamerzROM 3.0, so you can just wait for the next release .

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

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.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
download ICS rom ( i suggest this one )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687727

if you want to upgrade to JB
go to development section , chose any custom rom you want
and install via recovery

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.

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!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

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

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good

Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

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?
