Very low free ram - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
yesterday i updated my i9000 to AOKP 4.2.1 jelly bean
i saw on the phone status the free ram is like 80-09mb sometimes jumps to 50-40mb but it still low
it makes to games be laggy (like Subway surfers for ex')
any ideas what to do ? someway to increase it ?

Try using another rom, but you could also try flashing another kernel. But I would juggest you use cm10 because in my opinion there's almost no difference between 4.2.1 and 4.1.2.

How is your gaming performance?

As the title says.
Im on cm7 and even simple games like temple run and cartoon quality games lag for me.
Im really not sure how to get some decent gaming performance!

I have tried this 10000 times. When im on gingerbread and run big games like mwc3 or shadowgun, it lags very much. I need nvidia plugin to run them smooth. On ics, it's like havin a sgs3

You need nvidia plugin? Is that something I can download from the play store, or is it chainfire?
It's CHAINFIRE FIRST INSTALL THE APP then search for nvidia pulgins in my opinion try an ICS rom like cm9 or slim ICS so you can play all your favourite games freely without lagging

I quite agree with this topic: I'm currently running stock 2.3.6 XXJVU ROM with CF-Root kernel, so no optimization on the part of the CPU. Games such as Contract Killer Zombies start to lag when too many enemies are displayed at the same time...
I'm thinking of upgrading to the ICS TiramiSlim RC2, I read and also got feedback from a friend, and it's one of the most efficient ICS ROMs so far...
cm9 nightly ... more than excellent
Why would ics improve gaming?

None of the GB roms, including cm7, use HW acceleration?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
seriously
gaming in ics is better now
try slimics or sgs333 or cm9 . gaming is just smouth
I have used Slim ICS, and as stated above, it works very nicely.
Gamerzrom v11 (GB) also works very well. Temple Run goes smoothly on that rom if you wanna stay on GB.

Nope. HW acceleration didn't start until ICS.

Rom and kernel for gaming

Hu guys I've been searching forum but there are so many roms and threads so I need to open up this thread for my i9000
I'm currently running SlimBean 3.1 with Semaphore 2.8.0s kernel and rom is fast and stable and I get ~150-200ram free. I have just installed GTA Vice City and it's running really slow and lags. My personal opinion is that Galaxy S can run this game without lag and other heavy games but it requires GB rom that can do this.
So which one rom GB do you find best for lag-free games and for best battery and for every day use?
I think that all JB roms use a lot of ram and that causes laging in games, so GB is best for games but which one ?
I want to play some games like Modern Combat, TDKR and others but to play them smooth. Is that possible on this phone? I think it's beast but this games are new and heavy on resources.
So if someone would answer on my question I would be greatful.

For gaming you can use devil kernel or semaphore kernel(I recommend the first) and use paranoid Android by droidjam: )

So I found this rom in the list of custom roms for the I9000...
Its a GB rom designed for gaming apparently. 385MB ram. Try it out

Aways Xylon ROM has great performance and customizability. Its well worth a look but unfortunately aways has discontinued ROM development.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
C-Rom Mix by Aways is great take a look!
I had a lot of Problems with other Roms but this one got me hooked. Great Atutu benchmarks etc.
Im running helly bean and I can say it's the fastest rom I ever flashed, it's smooooth as hell
also I o.c my phone to 1320 mhz with 408 mb of ram, it's stable and running games without lagging . you should try it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
If you want a ROM that run Games smooth, i recommand you to take a look at the "CyanAOSP".
I already tested some roms and i really like CyanAOSP, soo smooth and verry good for Gaming.
Tested on: Asphalt 7 , Real Fotbal 2013, Gangstar City, Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Asphalt 6, Earn to Die, Drag Racing, Need For Speed HP, Fifa 12 , Sky Safari and many others, No lag. and get 4400+ on Antutu.
All jb ROMs are smooth;specifically AWAYS ROMs.

[Q] LQ4 or LQB?

LQ4 or LQB which is better, more stable?
Latest...
Sent from my GT-I9070 using Tapatalk 2
Both are almost the same, but users reportrd that LQB have some lag fixed, specially in phone and camera app. Though do keep in mind to see which mod that can be supported, LQB is still new so there's not much mod here available, but most LQ4 mods are compatible with LQB, some are not. I personally use LQ4 and sticking with it until samsung release something significantly better, like per say a final stable build. Though it would be better if there's an AOSP or AOKP support for our phones.
I don't know why but LQB has been laggy for me.. I also got lots of Force Close errors too.. I noticed a lot of lags on the overall UI and in scrolling too.. that's why I switched back to LQ4 that's why..
Id say lq4..no lags with co-core e 5.0..very smooth..
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Haven't use LQB before, but yes LQ4 is indeed satisfy me. Like I said I'd stick with LQ4 for now until it's worth to update. I don't like formating my phone often, cause restoring data are troublesome for me and I don't want to take chances on damaging my emmc chip
At the moment I LQB but seemed better LQ4 I just hope not to be an erroneous .. therefore I need your opinion.
I use LQB.. lags a lot when gaming mode.. ( gta 3, the dark knight rises, asphalt 7, nova 3) damn...

[Q] What is the advantage for choosing CM

What has CM for advantage above fw or other rom's?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
A clear difference is speed. No more lags in opening anything which is the major drawback of official jb.
How about battery performance. I now use dxamd1 with cocore 6.8. And I charge once a day in the nightly hours. And use my phone freqently the whole day

Battery is quite good for me. A good start considering the rom is not optimized yet.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Battery life is amazing, considering cm10.1 is still quite raw. I've just plugged my phone in after 2 days.. 15% battery left. Some whatsapp, some messaging, some browsing, some music... the usual stuff. Wifi on 100% of the time.
So is speed, smooth as butter. The only drawback I was able to find so far is benchmark results... ran antutu and scored 5030 points, while the better stock JB roms are near or at 7000 points. Mind you, if I hadn't run that benchmark, I wouldn't have noticed there was a performance deficiency.. no lags, no hiccups, nothing.
If you don't use video recording, and don't mind turning the volume down then up during a call to solve the low volume problem... then yes, go with CM10.1 as it is right now, it doesn't dissapoint. It can only get better!
So wich cm Rom version comes out best out of the box here. And can i flash it over all fw versions?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
I hope that the issue of video playback is resolved soon!!
That's the only reason I don't try cm10.1
I think it will be fixable, I remember the times when g5 cm9 didn't have hq acceleration

Well, there are a lot of CM10.1 nightlies... Have a look in the archive, I've personally had excellent results with the 20130621 one. Don't flash the latest 20130627 since it's corrupted (it weights 94 MB and a full rom is about 165-170MB)
From what I've read so far, CM10.1 works just fine if flashed over XXLQE firmware, but could have problems if using another one as base. I used polish XXLQE as base and it worked perfectly, apart from the two or three bugs CM10.1 still has.
I think cm 10.1 and pac 23.0 works well with any other base too. I'm using indian ddulp8 and got no issue at all. But better install from fresh stock firmware to avoid any problems.
