Hi,
I recently updated from an old 2.2 rom to 2.3.4, (surface rom), and have noticed that occasionally the phone seems to crash for no apparent reason. It is however, not a reboot, as far as I can tell. phone locks up, within 5-10 seconds i'll see lock screen, (there's no boot animation or anything, or error message), with all previously running applications closed. Can't reproduce reliably, last occurred when I was just listening to music on it.
Any idea what sort of crash/problem this is, and what might be affecting it? (ie launcher, rom, kernel etc)
Running surface rom, semaphore kernel, zeam launcher, not OC'ing
Thanks for any help!
Mate i think surface is not too much good....i think u should go with Blockbuster rom....u just flash and you ll find difference....if u like enery efficent then dnt flash anyother kernel remain on stock....and if u likr Overclocked kernel then go with GalaixanGt or Semaphore 1.5.0.....then u see the really stable and energy efficent rom.

Hmm, so you think it's an issue with the rom?
Yes i try almost every rom from last few months there is some problem in this rom which needed to be fixed

I just flashed nighly 20 ont my p970 and everything seems to be all right. Then i restarted, went back to CWM and flashed v08 nova script. Since that (about 25 mins) my phone is stuck at the LG Logo... Hope any1 has got a solution for me
maybe you should pop out the battery and try again
it happens in v06-v07 as well
if you stuck again,it definitely a bootloop
try the unbrick method
I already got nightly 20 back on my phone and also tried the updated version of the kernel... also tried to update with davlic and battery wipe and without, what else could it be?
Strange, especially as it seems to work for others with this combonation as well...
Same here. Nova v8 stuck in lg logo. I tried remove battery but didn't work. I boot it into recovery and flash CM 20 and nova 7 again.

Wow, it's very strange for me if what did happen to you was true, 'cause I'm using CM7-Nightly#20 and Nova v08 Kernel well.
These are steps I've just done:
- Download the kernel then copy it to sdcard.
- Do the davik-wipe. You can find it in the advance of the Recovery menu.
- Flash the CM followed by the Kernel.
- Turn off instead of reboot the system.
Done. I waited for a few mins, then booted my phone. Everything are going fine still now. That is a battery friendly when cost only 2% after 4h.
I also got it to work soon after i posted this, but i had to sleep then and i was busy until now... But the problem was that there were/are different versions of the kernel and 1 of them doesnt seem to work with #19 and #20 nightly, as i tired both, but the nova v08-test1 worked like a charm and is battery saving as hell and i like it VEERY much! even though i am a bit confused that in cpu spy there are only values for 800, 1000 and deep sleep mode. but many others already reported this, so it either is a program bug or really a bug in the governor. Maybe I'll try another one tomorrow and report if this bug still exists But as long as battery drain is ok, i will keep lionheart, as it seems pretty fast to me.
One more thing i noticed is, that even though u set the CPU speed to a lower lvl like 600 it still seems to be set to 1000 according to cpu spy... Anyone else who also experianced this?
Nice work anyway guys and a big thanks
yes , agree, this combination kills your battery deadly
Not for me, installion went all fine. Did not reboot, but shut down instead, waited a half of a minute, then started. And performance is great, and battery got thru my day with 1+ hours of gaming and 3g+mobile network on all the time. (Left with 27% after 10h since unplugged the charger, that's fine for me)

I used CM7 #19 (as #20 has some bugs when someone calls you) and the latest Nova v08 and it worked for me. You just have to take out the battery after the first boot (if stuck on LG logo) and you should be ok.
P.S.
Another dev (aprold) is now working on Nova and he added some updates/changes on it. You might as well check on his latest post.

I use cm7#20 and last nova08. My OB works fine. Very smooth. I'm pleased with this kernel. I think CPU spy has bugs. Lionheart os ok.

Hi to all.
I`ve just flashed nova kernel v09. It's great.
Here I send you results of nova kernel v09 in CM7#20
Lionheart now true correctly working
Quadrant score.
I`ve forgotten
I didn't run nova script yet
Benchmark results without nova sctript.
Many Thanks to Aprold and knzo.

I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

Can I do anything related to the hardware? I mean how can i check if it is not giving 100%?

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.
I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.
Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?
Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Did you try the ics roms. These r pretty fast..specially team icssgs.

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...
yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Yeah, and you can just use the ATK widget when you close out of something press the icon and it kills all the background apps...
I will surely try ATK and ICS roms as per your suggestions...

keep us updated...
Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

Perhaps you should try the ICSSGS RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC Kernel. I'm on it and its awesome, my phone lags no more and I'm using it for my primary phone.

I'm currently on a buggy minicm7 2.2.0. I'm suspecting the culprit of the bugs is my SD card(A2SD). I'm thinking of re-installing everything from scratch, but then again, there is the good looking minicm9 ics.
So my question is, should I upgrade to minicm9? (I don't have much time to check it myself for trial and error so I'm asking here for your opinions.)
Please convince me why should I do so. Are there any significant functionality that is available on cm7 that is not on cm9? Significant performance drop on games?(though I don't play on my x8 nowadays)
Thanks!
If u use ur pohone day to day and record videos or watch videos from youtube u should use MiniCm7 2.2.0
If not then MiniCm9 is ok if u supercharge it and install this add on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187
so it no flash support? Hmmm.. I guess it's fine...

Not Working:
HW Video encoding / decoding
Hi, I tried minicm9.. at first it was cool, even refreshing..
The UI feels revamped, system settings cleaned, messaging better, default launcher is beautiful and it really felt like wonderful..
But after some time of using it, I found it laggy, just opening drawer takes about 1 or 2 seconds, it often restarts, and it also restarts when I try to overclock to over 748MHz (this also happened in minicm7)..
I just felt down, I really like the new feel but the performance was not as good as minicm7, I really hope it gets to a point that it is at par with minicm7
i would suggest you stick with minicm7 2.2.0 cos the minicm9 is extrremely laggy,constant force closing,and its got a crazy battery drain.i flashed minicm9 but reverted to minicm7 cos of the bugs.i feel naa will be working on an update for the minicm9 with fixed bugs ,until then just stick with minicm7 cos most people are reverting to it already.
pls give me a thanks if its helpfull.cos i am a new member.so i can post more comments
I say go with cm9, I flashed it 2 days ago and Im loving it, yes it is not stable yet but it is quite ok, there is a bit lag but you can always install resized apps and v6 supercharger
If u need to use ur phone to watch video daily,either from your phone,or internet,then you should stick with MiniCM7,but if you want something new,try out MiniCM9,i'm using MiniCM9 right now,and i'm happy with it
Advantages of MiniCM9:
-Android 4.0 (ICS)
-Fast Wifi Connection (really2 fast)
-UI just like Galaxy Nexus ( i love it very2 much)
Disadvantages/bug of MiniCM9:
-video not working
-Speaker sound not so good,can use FIX from here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2g7-UiU2/MiniCM9_Audio_Fix.html
-Quite laggy scrolling,can improve by flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649187
#as said above you can also use supercharged,i might do it later,but right now i can said it is table for daily use like sms,call,internet,listen to radio,etc...if you have problem in MiniCM9,don't forget to read FAQ first,hope this help you to decide

craaaaazy, ne?
(skip ahead to the end of the post)
MiniCM9 lags as hell, I'll keep the MiniCM7 until the 9 improves.
I personally dont go to ICS due limitations of our hardware.We will never can have full feature of ICSFace unlocked,for example
I had to revert to cm7 based rom...gingerdx to be specific because minicm9 is still laggy, it do not support games and freezes all the time. TO me the biggest culprit was the video playback..its only good enough to show it off to your friends. but im eagerly waiting for full working version...... And there is minicm10 out already.. Its lightweight and smooth..but Both ROMs are similar in performance. you can try it out as well.
Help me!!!

just flash the ROM kernel (nAa, JB, ICS,,,,) and flash the ROM by CWM
'what type of error?
minicm9 is and always will be laggy and slower than minicm7 due to hardware limitations so why bother i have tried almost every rom in here and all are the same at first they are fast and nice but after a while they become slower and laggy so i think a lost my hope

if still the 2nd post above me solution does not work, first flash to stock firmware, flash the gingerbread kernel (alfs, naa) first, format /system, /cache, /data, flash the ics kernel of naa, and again, format /system,/cache,/data, if still, maybe haven't installed the right drivers for your x8, so go into the root directory of your Flashtool then go to drivers, you can manually install the drivers required by your device there for sure
Cm7
I would suggest you to stay on Cm7 cause it is more stable, less laggy, better performances and battery life.
Tried both MiniCM7 and MinCM9 and I must admit ICS is not for our device..:crying:.It lags most of the time and is very unstable.....I would rather recommend MiniCM10 over MiniCM9 any day....:good:but MiniCM7 is bug-less, stable and is for daily use......:highfive:
I would recommend CM7 if you expect performance out of your phone..... but if you need to be on latest androids CM 10 is good.....
But CM9 is very less stable in x8 it keeps on hanging and apps force closes.... CM10 is much better.

Thank you for the post. I was going to post similar question regarding good choices for daily use and just found it.
Mini CM9 is my first try and here are some info on my experience:
I was long time planning using a custom ROM/Kernel and my first choice was Mini CM9, because of all of its features and beautiful look. As other users mentioned, it was running VERY good for a while (maybe the first 2 or 3 days after an install or new install). Anyway, every time (I reinstalled it twice) it gets laggy and I get a lot of "Not responding" messages (Trebuchet and other apps). I've even lost some calls because of "Phone Activity" freezing.
Plus, I could not use wirelless networks using a public hot-spot with sign-in needed. Wireless networks always worked good while using Stock ROM/Kernel, by the way.
CM9 seems to be a very good ROM but, considering my own experience, it should not be for daily use as it was not as stable as I was expecting.
I am preparing my X8 to install a more stable Kernel/ROM and, If you guys excuse me, I would to ask you about the Mini CM7 and GingerDX ROMs. Please, if you tried both or even GingerDX only, let me know how was it.
Thank you guys! I'll let you know about my new ROM/Kernel choice as soon as I decide which one to install.
Hello guys
I need you help to decide either to stay to my stock gingerbread rom or root my phone and install cyanogenmod 9 on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Please tell me which one is more stable and better to use..
Thanks in advance
Should just go with Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly. I use my phone every day and get no random reboots, stability issues or incompatible features/apps. Everything seems to work great. I can't see much of a reason to use CM9 since CM10 works so well
I moved to CM10 from XXJW4 2.6.4 and have no plans on rolling back.

I've been using CM9RC2 for a few months now and it's good. I find it a lot more stable and a lot faster than stock. However, I find I miss a lot of the small things about the stock ROM that just aren't in CM. The Contacts app is poor (can't link contacts, no Facebook integration) as is the stock Calender and the default music player that comes with it is atrocious.
If you can live with those, or are willing to pay for some appropriate replacement apps then I can definitely recommend going with CM
I'm always on gb, lately JW7 gb rom, ext4 format, Semaphore 2. 7.4. Reliable and fast.
Since a week I turned on a CM10. I like a lot, it's stable but very battery drainy and no faster than my previus gb JW7.
I think GB is still the best for our poor i9000...

I switched from Samsung GB to CM9 when it became stable mi-August (now I'm on CM9.1).
I don't plan to switch to CM10 until it is stable (or at least in RC stage) => and I hope it will become stable before 4.2 goes open source and pawitp starts working on next CM!
For me, my phone is much better with CM9: less reboots (I only had one in two months instead of one per week with GB).
My phone is generally more enjoyable: it is difficult to point specific functionnalities (there are many), but the user experience has been a big focus for Google in ICS, and the result is really great for me. I like stock applications a lot (even though contact app may indeed have less functionnalities than Touchwiz one). One the other side, I could not say if the phone is faster or not: so it your main concern is speed, the switch won't change much (unless you go with CM10 which is supposed to be faster). Main drawback for me is that MMS don't work anymore, but I guess it's a problem very specific to my case as I didn't find other people having my problem (and as I didn't use MMS a lot, I didn't take time to investigate heavily the issue).
