[Q] best rom for galaxy s? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

yeah these questions has been here before and finally i degraded to post one. I've been using same ICS rom for 4 months until it just crashed and could only go to download mode. Well now the problem is that i been away from xda developers forums and i've fallen behind on everything, seems jellybean is new thing now.
Well i'm heavy phone user and i do gaming and lots of other stuff with phone. If someone could tell me what roms are stable, fast that i can overclock to play a bit heavier games, and got decent battery life.. oh and got cameras and stuff working too. i hate when only 50% of the phone is working
I know there is not the best rom but suggestions what should i look into. Is jellybean faster and better than ICS etc.
Oh and hopefully link2sd works on the rom too because im tired of the small 6gb storage on my i9000 and i got large microSD card installed and im going to use that app to move the games there so i get the extra room.
Thanks for everyone in advance for any helpful information
was going to buy new phone but this damn galaxy s just rocks

I'm actually on SlimBean 3.1 sive a few weeks and I have to say its just Awesome =D
It's smooth, stable and fast as hell on antutu I get 4700 points with 114% live oc and smooth UI.

Damn 4700 on antutu, best i got on old ICS was 4100 points and that was overclocked to point that it was unstable I will definetly test out that slim beam hopefully got time to do that even today. Sounds very good, thanks for the tip KUN1

It seems we should test the SlimBean 3.1 Tnx Bro.

bad post

+1 Slim bean for the winner

Well, I'm using CM10 (Nightly Build), and I'm very happy from this ROM (I think I should upgrade to CM10.1 with Android 4.2.1).

phone lagging?

Awesome phone but the phone is bit laggy.. anyone else facing the same problem or is it just me?
No lag for me, super smooth
I have loads of apps too
I would say its a little laggy, but anyone who comes from a Galaxy s2, like me, will say its a bit laggy. But it will get better with future updates, that I am sure of.
After doing a quick comparison today between three units, I can say the 1st two were super silky smooth whereas the 3rd demo unit (cheapest) was laggy; probably it had to much happening in the background. Ice Cream Sandwich should address this.

I recommend the V6 Supercharger script. Seemed to help for me. I'm running Sheep ROM.

It is pretty much accepted that the more's release rom, much like the galaxy s2's original rom, is laggy. It is also generally believed that like the s2, Samsung will work out all the kinks and get the note as snappy as the s2.
We will see what happens. It's not that laggy though, and its hard to notice unless you compare it directly with an s2.
So far for me lag only happens on using different launchers. Other than thy he phone is zippy as hell. Currently on XXKK9, Socrates only complains is occassional bad call quality complain from certain people I call. Some say it's great some not so.

I find the note to be very very fast.
There is some subtle studdering, when browsing, and I see no reason that wont get cleaned up on an update.

It's laggy compare to my old phone, HTC Inspire which is single core,1.Ghz. I don't get it
Lag is the only thing I am not happy with Note.
For first few days it was super smooth but now i can witness some lagging.

Good advice. Just installed V6 9 RC4 with Nitro Lag Nullifier on Sheep ROM. Smoother + improvement in all synthetic benchmarks. Looks good so far. Thanks!
More tips for people complaining about lag:
- get some KK9/KKA ROM
- change CPU governor from ondemand to interactive.

hi guys,
how long does your Note needs to wake-up?
mine needs about 1,5-2sec
i go back and fourth between the Note and the S2 running the exact same setup and S2 is noticeably quicker

Not a ton. The ace isn't the fastest phone (800mhz processor stock). If you want a faster phone, I suggest a new one.
Anyway, first is overclocking the processor. The highest stable I think I've seen is 921mhz. This however ends up killing your battery (works the other way around too). For this you need an overclockable kernal (I don't know how to do it or where to get it lol). Another thing you can do is remove useless apps (so thinks like email, Gmail, maps and things that aren't usually used). This will free up some RAM and make sure that you don't have many apps running in the background at the same time. Speaking of RAM, get an app to manage that as well. Don't know how effective it truly is, but its something to do. Get rid of a few things like live wallpapers and FM radio as well as that's a lot of ram and CPU usage right there. Just look for key words in the title such as "light" (for useless apps being removed) and "OC kernal" (for the overclock) and hopefully you'll get what you are looking for.
Oye... I dunno.... I'm no pro at this (I'm not even a dev), but I'm just throwing out suggestions.
Anyway, use search, Google it, and experiment. Hopefully you can get some good performance from this cool little mid range device, but remember, its that, a midrange device. Not gonna beat the S3 anytime soon

I own the Galaxy Ace, and there is no way you can make it faster.
I tried so much: Switching Custom ROMs, Uninstalling apps, Overclocking etc.
But they all don't work.
The Ace is cheap, you can't get something as fast as a Galaxy SIII or HTC One X for that price.
The thing is, it is faster or we think it is faster?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Overclocking is very useful and as others have said, works in a ratio with battery. Once you have rooted your phone, find a custom ROM you like ( I recommend Apocalypse by Itsoulas - it is very, very fast and best for games) because they are brilliant at helping you do what you normally cannot on the stock rom.
Good luck and welcome to Xda! :beer:
Sent from my phone... AND WHAT
What Ace said is true, but my phone's battery life is already poor without overclocking.
First thing
Since when does the ace has legs ?
It cant run
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Its so easy
1. He wants the best performance right??yes.
So i would prefer the official stable cyanogenmod rom with some tweaks. And maybe not so usefull at all but also overclocking, like many of you said it before.
2. Come on guys we have an almost 2 years old ARMV6 device which was from the first release date since today a midrange or maybe lowend device. So please. Its natural that we cant compare it with quad core or dual core phones, in some cases even not with singlecore armv7 devices.
All in all its a sexy phone with iphone look and acceptable performance at all. AND its still cheap

most stable rom (phone goes to wifey)

Hey y'all...
I recently bought myself a SGS3 to mess around with and would like to give me SGS1 to my wife who is hating her iPhone so much after she broke her HTC Aria... She might be slightly under influence since I am dissing Apple all the time... anyways...
I am looking for the most stable rom for SGS, if that is Darky's last Samsung based rom that is like 1 year old now... then so be it (I am currently almost convinced that would be it). Either this or AOKP build 40 seem the most 2 stable ones.
I know for sure it is not any of the JB stuff out here because as beautiful as it is, her main occupation is calling and taking food pictures and JB didn't get the cam vs gallery apps right yet... so it should be...
1. stable, stable... without horses... just stable!
2. having a perfect cam / gallery implementation
3. no lag (she comes from iPhone, she is used to silky smooth phone usability)
4. speed... (for the same reason as point 3)
What do you recommend and why?
Ty ~
[edit] EZBASE 4 seems to be the most stable hmm
[edit 2] o god I forgot how awful GB looked like and slow even after lagfix... back to ICS... trying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790906 now...
CM 9 stable release. Almost flawless. Just make sure you supercharge it. The ram management isn't so good and the phone will become slugish with ~40 MB free RAM.

O2X + ICS + lag ?

So... I've now given my HTC EVO 3D to my wife as a gift (not wrapped lol.. I just said she could have it so she has a nice phone)... and I've gone back to her old phone which is a Sony Vivaz. Now the only reason I got shot of the O2X in the first place was due to it lagging after even half a day, and the EVO 3D had 1GB of RAM and it doesn't lag at all. so.... basically.. now there is a stock LG ICS version (I assume there is looking at other threads?) has this resolved the lag? When I say lag, I mean it not even being able to play video's smoothly, and games nose diving in performance etc.
If this is the case... I'll probably be on the look-out for another O2X as I enjoyed having a nice bright screen and an HDMI port

Prior to ICS the custom rom's/kernel's lagged badly as well.. like they were out of memory.... are you 100% they don't lag? i.e. you don't have to reset your phone daily just to watch a movie or play a 3D game?
well take into account that the device only has 348mb ram? So It's a bit memory hungry but ICS performance overall is quite nice

This is not true. Do you have direct experience? What rom do you use?
I'm using 30B stock LG in Italy and I must say that I finally can touch high smoothness and fast performance.
Never found this with custom roms.

The stock fettled rom always worked best for me. I tried stock kernel and stefans kernel and some others but it didn't make any difference to the lag that happened after a random amount of time (within a day). The phone itself would be fine, just video and game performance sucked after a while. To be clear.. on a fresh restart/boot of the phone the performance was EXCELLENT... just it degraded after a relatively short time, and was the deciding factor for selling it. If this has been resolved with ICS I would REALLLLLY like to know.

I did take that into account. I found the best experience was with the fettled stock italian rom last year before ICS was released, but the phone always suffered with slow down, even within an hour of turning it on if I did something intensive like play a game or watch a video. It took half a day to a day to slow down if not doing anything intensive. It was REALLLLLY aggravating.
I do realise it has limited memory, but given it wasn't running ICS it really should have performed better for longer as such. If Tegra 2 needed more memory to continue running that that's what it should have had. It's an amazing phone (for the money) otherwise I thought.
If people who use there phone for video playback and say... playing a tegra 2 game like dungeon defenders could come in and comment on if performance degrades to getting REALLY bad frame rates after a while, I would really appreciate it. If you can go for a month or something playing games and watching video's without an issue, I REALLY like to hear about it.
@Scougar,
I'm very sorry for you.
I bought 2x on oct 2011, not for playing games as first goal, I have been happy with 20S (removing some unused system apps) for many months and now I am with 30B.
Good luck.

dont know how anyone can say that cm10 is smooth for example (havent tried stock ics yet tho), because its just so awfully slow for me, lags more than cm7, im sure its because of higher ram consumption. even with swap partition enabled. i mean it IS very smooth, when it works that is, but it quite often has these awful slowdowns for me when the phone just puts me on ignore mode lol
i mean its pathetic, cant even have 2 tabs open in chrome without having to reload the pages after switching tabs. movies and games work great tho, never had any issues, on any android version. best thing about this phone really.
Look i understand what you are saying but the weird thing is with the build from jan 2013+ the performance is just amazing..
And I never experienced a bsod nor a freeze nor a slowdown and not even a single fc i really don't knoa but some people have strange p990's or i just got myself a special one eheh.

lol, sorry for me? You shouldn't be, because I 'upgraded' to the EVO 3D, on an amazing sim-free deal for it, and it worked perfectly for me, without issue and had ICS for months before LG. I'm just considering coming back to the O2X as I really loved it apart from the lag. I would prefer to use a stock modded rom so that I get full functionality rather than fast performance and missing options.
I will keep my eyes open for one.. but they are pretty expensive for such an old phone (which is weird).
I am running CM10 on the new boot loader with custom kernel and its darn near perfect for me. Smooth as butter and battery life is as good as pure CM7 ROM.
Running on CM10 with ICS bootloader....It is very smooth & lag free for me

Agreed,Stock ICS lags very bad,installed CM10 and the phone is damn smooth!

No lags with stock LG ICS 30B, very smooth full functons and stable.
Maybe in some months we'll have a stable CM10.1; CM7 took at least six months to be a stable version (missing of some functions).

Very low Quadrant score.....

Hi guys, I've been trying out some custom roms these past few days since I got sick & tired of the performance on official Samsung JB.
I've tried out sweet rom, angry rom and am now on asylum, but I am getting very low quadrant scores. When doing a fulI benchmark, get around 2300 which is much slower than what other people get.
Could there be something wrong with my phone?
Thanks,
Look forward to hearing your replies.
Quadrant score doesn't relate to anything with daily usage.. If your phone is doing good and the quadrant score is not good it's not a matter to worry about.. Just enjoy your note

But the reason I switched from the stock rom was due to sluggish behaviour. So there could be an issue?
I'm running a CM10.1 build now iirc and it's very smooth. The difference is night and day.
Stock rom was full of bloat that's why the performance decreases if you have removed the bloat from stock rom then you had a very smooth rom otherwise cm is great stick to it
