I am a long term user of the O2x and found the CM7 Kangs to be the smoothest experience. Unfortunately there are still unexpected shutdowns (rare to be franc but annoying).
Now that my company provided me access to corporate email on Android, I would like to use the O2x as main business phone.
What would be your advice for a SOLID STABLE ROM (no reboots or BSODs accepted) even with a not so brilliant speed but still offering root access and some enhancments?
For the time being I'm on GR6, no reboots or BSODs for the last 2 days... too early to say it is perfectly stable.
Thank you for your help!
there are 3 main category of roms, cyanogen roms, stock lg roms, miui.
the problem with miui was that i used it 3-4 weeks everyday, installed some apps and i used it browsing and for multimedia, and it becomes slower and slower day-byday. (like power button pressed, after 3 weeks i had to wait for 3-4sec to wake up)
stock lg roms i think a little buggy, or just simply slow i don't know.
cyanogenmod roms what i use just because it's very-very simple, and highly customizable to do things faster. i use it over 2 months since 7.1 released(but recommended use nightly over 203, i think)
i installed some apps and games and it is not slow.
give it a try. i hope it helps you
(and sorry for my bad english)
I use Cyanogen with Vodonka kernel, in underclock it to 800mhz (who NEEDS more to be honest?) and i never have any issues.
Business mail? i presume you're using Exchange.
It works for me, flawless, every time, every day
Hi everyone
Recently, i've updated my i9000 from cm9 to cm10. But i found it a little bit laggy, there is too much data run in the background and my phone can't just handel it. Some app don't work anymore (i have some message after an unsuccefull update saying "out of memory").
Do i have to wait for further updates or should i go back to the latest CM9 ?
PS: Is there any tips to prevent the shuting down signal problem with the i9000 ?
Hey,
I've had the same feeling about CM10 being laggy on my I9000. Hopefully it's just another bug.
And it is a well known issue that some apps aren't still running yet.
I went back to CM9.1 which runs really smooth. I'm gonna wait for a CM10 stable version and check if it's still laggy.

Yust move apps to SD, CM10 has a new partition layout.. That solve the problem of low space
Try elitemovil rc12.1 which is faster and smooter than stock sgs3

You should try the new nightlies, hardly any lag at all.
All jellybean roms get laggy no matter what you do, I tried most of the JB roms and I used HellyBean for a while with super launcher (a custom supercharge for galaxy s) and it kept working fine because somehow by flashing a new rom version often the phone would stay fine (wasn't just wipe cache and dalvik)
But I'm now back to ICS because even if most of the time the phone is doing fine, when you need it the most it starts failing even overclocked at 1.4 and with performance mode and swap, so I will wait 11 days and buy the nexus 4 !
Jelly bean runs fine on my phone to be honest. No lag or nothing. Only ROM that's ever lagged is hellybean.

My experience is the exact same as the one you quoted.
I believe the clue to having a stable jb is to avoid most of the non-vanilla settings. I.e people come in various jb threads claiming bugs and unstability, while having oced, deep idle, custom kernels with experimental settings, not having wiped, flashed the wrong package - lots of issues that are experimental and not stock and stable.
The question of what is stable is relative, but I'm convinced that the ability to read, knowledge, proper flashing and simple logic would help avoid 9 out of 10 "unstable" jellybean experiences.
I am aware this might come over as a bit condescending, and I guess that's partially true, but it's not directed at any particular person here.

people, CM10 is the best. I've never had such a great rom, I mean, the SGS I is old, but with CM10, oh boy... I've never had such a good battery life, such a smooth rom, and non laggy ( helly bean was a disaster, it lagged a lot and very few updates).
Well, here is my settings:
-> CM10 latest nightly
-> JB hugemem patch (391mb ram and 720p recording still working)
-> Rom Slimmer
-> Semaphore kernel 2.5.0s:
.......- oc 1140 MHz
.......- SIO
.......- Smartassv2

i cant believe that so many ppl are busting HB.
laggy disaster?
first of all, HB is a CM10 too.
and beside this HB isnt laggy!
sometimes it depends on the phone, cos a SGS1 is not a SGS1. so many differences available...
best is, just try some JB ROMs and decide for urself!
I never had problems with CM10 . Run smooth .
I think is the best ROM i had experienced on my SGSI .
I installed slimbean (cm10 based) recently on my i9000m and its a tad laggy when I am pushing it but overall its better than the last stock GB rom that I had been on for a long time (got tired flashing this and that). And its stable too. Overall the switch has been nice, for the main reason that I have less of a desire for the SGS 3 (hey there's always the 4 one day right?)
My experience with cm10.1 has been roller coaster. To day it is fast and smooth but yesterday it is leggy and gets stuck. I frequently get popups of applications not responding etc. The i click wait and it gets done.
Before you throw me with rotten tomatoes let me give you the steps that i followed.
Got a brand new i9000 from from a warranty claim a month ago.
Flashed cm10.1 nightly using Cwm after having to work around a few bugs with the new heimdall program not being compatible. But with CWM on I no longer needed the pc.
Download a nightly (26 Feb)
So did a factory reset and wiped everything. Flashed cm10.1 nightly again just to make sure. Then loaded a modem that seems to work for my area. The modem is a XXJVR and is a ICS modem. then flashed Google app for jb 4. 2.2.
Rebooted and logged in. Restored all my sms using sms+ backup and restore
Installed all my preferred application from play Store.
It started nice but soon became slow and large.
So I updated to 10.1m2. Same problem.
At this moment it is workable. It takes about 6 counts to respond to changing from portrait to landscape. If i turn it one the home screen takes about 2 counts to get updated and responsive.
Holding the home button gives you the recent application list. It takes about 2 counts to respond with a vibration and then 2 to 3 more counts before the menu pops up and the list of recent applications have been populate. I don't know if this is normal but 5 counts feels forever when you decide to do something and need to wait for the system to be ready.
I am not over clocking and I am running no custom kernels.
The notification bar at first comes down in jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
But the biggest frustration is typing. The lag between presses and haptic feedback seems to be random. It is always under a half a second but when you want to type you never know if it got the press or not. Just as you think you need go repress the letter updates.
Battery life is also erratic. Yesterday the phone was uncomfortable hot in my pocket all day. Battery did not make 14h. Today it is cool and it is at 73 % for 9h.
The main battery life is taken by android OS and screen. Not calls or any of the chat apps that I use. Yesterday Android OS took half my battery life.
Going to apps the zoom is jumpy and sliding jumps. If i do it again it is smooth.
And today is a good day.
Any suggestions what I can do to improve the performance? Except getting a new phone.
H
I don't think I can quite relate to that, my phone runs CM10.1 quite well...
Had to be said though that I can feel my phone struggles running it, pushing the limits pretty hard.
My phone has the slow RAM, unfortunately, I'm sure a lot of the people posting stories of glory are ones with the faster version.
That said, I could never in a million years go back to an earlier version, I know my phones limits and work around them without too much trouble, mainly browsing (using Chrome) is the one thing my phone struggles with.
But regarding your erratic phone behavior, have you installed a startup manager and better battery stats?
Android battery stats doesn't always do a very good job of reporting exactly what apps or background processes are draining over time...

It been quite some time now, but have you been able to fix your erratic behaviour? Cause I'm experiencing something similar.
I tried Slim JB & Fishears Rom so far. Right after flashing, without any apps, the roms seem to be running smooth but Slim JB soon became laggy so I tried out Fishears Rom which seemed to behave smoothly even after installing some apps.
But after several month of usage the system slowed down almost as much as it was with Slim JB.
As both of them are based on CM I guess it's a general problem that the SGS 1 just can't handle the new Rom + big amout of apps. Sometimes it runs relatively smooth if I cleared RAM etc and didn't start any apps, but as soon as I for example listen to music in the background everything just becomes laggy :-/
I guess after 3 years my SGS1 is just too old now^^

Hi. No I gave up. My first SGS1 was amazing and did not behave like this. I think it had faster ram. Due to some issue it was replaced under warranty. The replacement looks the same but it is very frustrating. I am running stock rom now 2.3.4 with almost nothing installed. But it find that it is a pain. Calling takes long to actuality start to dial. The screens are smooth but when you do things. Like flip between apps or go to dialler it is almost unusable.
I think Samsung release more expensive variations in the beginning and then keep the look the same but drop the cost of the handset to the end.
Hi.
I'm a noob in this custom business and i have a i9000 and i just flashed CM10.1.2 and everything is ok but i want to use igo and after install i get an error about the sd card. How can i use igo?
Hey fellas, new to modding. Have a samsung captivate. Cutting right to the chase.
So i got this phone about 1 week ago. Used the stock ROM (2.3.5) for about 2 days. Then flashed CM 10. Then flashed CM 10.1. Now today flashed "Captivating (Xperia)" ROM. I've been facing one single problem in all the ROMS (That i didn't notice in the stock ROM), the colors are not proper in the custom ROMS. Like, pixelation (on a big level) at the regions where screen's black region meets any coloured region. (I know, difficult to understand & difficult to explain as well, so i've attached 2 images to show it).
I first noticed it on the CM 10 boot animation. It was highly pixelated at edges (both inside & outside the ring). Ugly to look.
& i know that it's not the resolution problem. (My friend is using the SGS 2, flashed CM 10.1 last night, has crisp clear graphics, same res & larger screen than captivate)
It's present EVERYWHERE. In bootanimation, wallpapers, videos, apps, etc. wherever black meets any color.
What is it.? How to fix it.? Is it any soft problem or a hardware problem.?
P.S. Going to setting -> advanced -> Color Tuning -> & setting-
Red - 1.000 (Default value)
Green - 1.000 (Default value)
Blue - 1.000 (Default value)
Red Gamma - -40
Green Gamma - -40
Blue Gamma - -40
does solve it a little, still the problem is there.
Moreover, it doesn't solve the prob of the bootanimation.
What to do.?
I have followed the same path from GB to CM10 to 10.1.
Never had any color shifting or LCD problems in months of use with CM. At one point I get a yellowish tint on a Semaphore kernel. I restored an earlier CM10.0 and the problem never repeated itself.
Do you have the problem on straight, stable CM10.0?
When you got the phone on GB, did it have the Corn kernel? What were the settings in Voodoo color? That might help you understand how to tweak JB settings.

As for I can see with the pics, your gamma is off the hook. That's not by default though, there's something that was changed. Did you play with Voodoo or color settings before and after flashing?
Did you try going back to stock and reflashing? (clean flash)
Did you try using different color temperature? (cold, warm, normal)
I see you reduced your gamma by quite a lot but there should be a better solution. Unless you have some overpowered digitalizer lol. Which brings me to think, was the screen replaced?
First off, the phone came with the official samsung 2.3.5 gingerbread ROM. At that time, i didn't notice any such issues (so i guess i can conclude that they were absent at that time).
Then i put in the speedmod kernel. Flashed cm10 (stable). Had this colour problem. I've now had this color problem ever since i flashed cm10.
On an unrelated note, m getting very poor battery life. I charge the phone till 100% (I've been leaving it at charging overnight since the last 2 charges, still the problem persists), & i remove the charger at about 7 in the morning. No music. A little (& very light) gaming (temple run, subway surfers, etc) for about 30 minutes total throughout the day. Screen brightness at lowest at max times during the day. very little calling. very little messaging. Oh, & NO cellular data connection (No GPRS, EDGE, 3G or anything for internet). Only wifi. That too for around 1 hour total. & still my battery goes flat to zero in about 12 hours (or even less). Is this normal.? I don't really remember how my battery was at the stock ROM, but it's like this on CM 10. Is this normal at all.? Is there any way to check battery.? Is it just a bad battery.? Or is this just the normal battery life of this phone.? (Cuz i read samsung galaxy S review on gsmarena, which is basically the same phone, & it manages to squeeze out around 3.5 days of battery life under their tests, which include pretty heavy usage with 3g enabled all the time)
& no, i got a new phone. So i really don't think the screen was replaced. Is it possible i was cheated through the dealer somehow.? I got it over at ebay.in.
M gonna flash stock ROM in a few hours. M currently downloading this one. Is this the correct one.?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
M confused, in settings now (in cm10), it shows Baseband version - I9000UGKG3. That ain't correct. Right.? How to know which stock rom i have to flash now.? I forgot to check my stock rom's baseband. I have to use the phone in India over the Indian baseband.
EDIT: Oh & i didn't change any settings (or any voodoo settings) for any kernel or anywhere at all. i noticed that colour problem in CM 10 boot animation. Many times. Then played around with display settings in cm10.

Oh god I hope I'm not too late. The Odin you've downloaded is a old version and contains froyo bootloaders.
You'll want Odin KK4 without Bootloaders to get back to stock.
If you already flashed the other one, you're most likely back on froyo or Eclair. You'll need Odin KK4 with Bootloaders to get back to stock GB.
As for the dealer, yes, it's possible that the phone isn't actually new or that the screen was replaced.

Battery problems are user specific, not ROM specific. I'd highly suggest you get BetterBatteryStats to see what's draining your battery. Also, after flashing, it does take a couple full battery cycle to get the best outta your battery.

Hmm. Alright. But.. Really.. I've read some reviews.. (& also, i've written my usage above, is that even real.? Cuz a few weeks ago i was on motorola Defy+ & i could easily get 2 days of battery life at heavier usage than my current usage) & according to reviews, m supposed to get even more battery life on captivate.! That's why i was asking. Cuz gsmarena claims it gets 3.5 days of battery life under normal average load (Which m not even putting on it most of the time.!) & with 3g ENABLED.! (which m not enabling at all, infact no data connection via sim, only wifi, that too very less). Still just 12 hours of battery life.
Anyway, flashing stock ROM soon. Will use that for a week i think. To test out my phone. Then will see what to do.
EDIT: Another (& probably the most important) question.! Will the device still stay unlocked after flashing it back to stock ROM (i bought it factory unlocked)
the i9000 baseband is correct for cm10 captivatemtd build. captivate is a variant of galaxy s series, as is i9000.
that isn't to say that you should go flashing an i9000 rom.
captivate lacks several pieces of hardware that are in other galaxy s phones.

Unlock is permanent so you don't have to worry about that.
Getting 3.5 days with data enabled is nearly impossible with how old the phone and battery is. That would mean no sync, extremely low brightness, no widgets, no GPS/location access, perfect signal (4 bars) at all time and absolutely no gaming.
I would personally get about 2.5-3hrs on screen with my cappy, that was with data, sync, auto brightness enabled and medium usage. Back when I didn't have data though (Froyo days, with Firefly ROM), I would get at least 2 days with medium usage.
You gotta keep in mind that if that gsmarena is on a old firmware, he has about a 1/4 of the features CM has right now and well, more features = more battery drain. Also, battery highly depends on your apps/widgets, the more apps that sync, the more drain you get.
One last thing, CM isn't the only 4.2 ROM out there, feel free to try a few of them.

Alright. Right now m back to stock (2.3.5). Will keep this ROM for a few days. Check out the battery life. The max battery life i can get out of it.
& i don't know if the colour problem is still here in this ROM, but.. i really can't see it anymore. So gonna play around with this ROM. Thank you for your help people.
Oh.! Now i understand it.! M getting what is commonly called "Black Crush".!
Here's a video demonstrating it (In galaxy note & comparing it with a normal captivate)

That's why my screen colors were problematic.! & maybe still are problematic. Although i don't think m getting the black crush at THAT level. Any way to solve this issue.? :\

M not gonna get a new digitalizer for it. Definitely not. I bought this phone just for general usage plus listening music. The colour problem has almost vanished ever since i flashed the stock ROM. The battery has also considerably increased.
I will live with the colour problem if i have to. It won't be worth buying a new digitalizer & replacing the old one.

just confirmed another thing. I just flashed cm10.1 (directly from stock)
Now, I can see the color prob. only in the videos though. not images. anyway, it's confirmed new w.. the problem is not there on the stock ROM, but present in the cm 10, 10.1, n the xperia ROM.
n I've also noticed changing gamma values (all to -40) will reduce the prob by a large margin. dunno what the issue is here.
anyway, flashing semaphore kernel with voodoo colour settings now. will post the result in a few hours (or maybe tomorrow morning). all of your help is really appreciated.
EDIT: Flashing with the semaphore kernel with voodoo settings made it much worse. It made that colour problem MUCH MORE noticable. I mean i could literally see thousands of flawed pixels in every frame.!
Will stick with CM 10 stock kernel.
