Hi there,
as my iPhone 3G is getting old and the WLAN seems to be broken now, I was looking for a replacement. I saw that the price for the Galaxy S I9000 dropped massively here in Germany and therefore started to read through the posts here in the forum for the last 2 days. There is just too much information out there to get things sorted out in my mind that fast...
I really loved the iPhone for all those nice apps because I don't really like to use the browser on a small screen that often. There were 3 major things that I didn't like and hope my new phone can do better:
- Performance: It sometimes took quite long to start apps and also some of them were performing poorely.
- Multitasking: I like to have the 3-4 apps that I use most running simultaneously. That is Phone D), Mail (GMail), Skype and Facebook.
- Battery life: My iPhone had problem to make it through the day if I used it too much.
Is there somebody out there who can tell me if the Samsung can handle those things better? Performance-wise I guess there should be no problem, but I don't know about multitasking and battery life.
One more question: I am really interested in learning more about flashing custom ROM's and doing that with the new device, but there is one thing I don't want to do: I don't want to be forced to look for bugfixes all the time. The phone needs to run STABLE. Is that the case? Are there good ROM's out there that really improve the native firmware from point of view of performance AND stability?
I hope this is the right forum to ask those things. If not I apologize and ask the admin to move it to a better suited forum.
The Galaxy I9000 really looks very promising to me, so please don't be to harsh with your criticism, OK?
Mike
Comparing the SGS to the iphone 3, i would say, that the screen is much better, and if your primary apps, are Gmail, Facebook and skype, you are set. Multitasking is almost not existent in the iphone, and i belive battery life is better, and if that is not enough, you can get an additional battery, wich you can't with the iphone. for me, it's a much better device.
Well... it seems it comes down to the question of stability.
Are there really fast and stable ROM's out there that are more or less free from bugs?
Mike
Very recommended and match with you..believe me

I'm running the stock ROM, rooted of course, and is very stable, i never had any problems. I haven't tried custom rooms, but as far as i understand, they are very stable too. I just prefer to keep my phone as stock as possible...
for the beginning i don't think you need any custom roms if you decide on the SGS, the stock ones are a very long way from any iOS you had in the past
just go to any store and play with it for a while, you'll be amazed about the difference from that old i3g, just as i was, the best choice i have ever made, moving on from iphone3 to this amazing Android device, can't wait to get the money for an sgs2
Seems like I will have to give it a shot.
I was just a bit confused, as one of my friends told me about problems with apps an their stablilty compared to the iPhone. He mentioned e.g. Mobile Navigator.
Well, I will try by myself.
Thanks anyway for your comments.

But, where should I start?
Is it really necessery to flash a custom ROM, or is this phone snappy enough with Sense (but I'll probably use GoLauncher or LauncherPro, I only use 1 homescreen...)?
Which tweaks are really necessery to make the phone's battery survive for more than 24 hours, when texting pretty much?
Perhaps the phone's battery survives even though I text a lot (between 100-500 texts/day, depending on how bored I am)?
How's the vibrator in this phone, can I have it in silent mode and have it in my pocket and actually notice when I get a text?
My current phone's vibrator is pretty crappy.
I've been browsing this forum for some time now but haven't found anything that answers my questions... I come from an Acer Liquid A1, without CM7 or MIUI that phone is probably one of the worst phones ever done. But, I sure hope this community is just as active as the one the Liquid had, and still have
(lol, "is this a question?" eh, it's many questions... )
oh, and one more thing; is this device brickable? or can you always reset it to default, like with the liquid? if something f...s up you can always boot into bootloader and reflash a *.bin
Help a newbie to get started, and flashing things and stuff is nothing new. Only the way to root it is new for me... :/
Regards,
Me

I don't think you need a custom ROM. See if the battery is good enough for your needs. Remember to drain the battery completely multiple times to "train" it.
On another note, why get such an expensive phone, just for texting? It's going to drain a lot of battery while you are looking at the screen. Might as well go for a feature phone imo.
You should easily get 24 + hours if all you do is text mainly. Just remember to turn data off. It will help make your battery last longer.

Well, my current phone dies pretty quickly when texting a lot. Today it went from 60% down to 5%, and I woke for 11hours ago and have been texting ppl since then.
And I'm buying a new phone since my 4 touch-buttons on this one is getting really weird, they only work sometimes and yesterday they all died so I was stuck in a conversation and had to reboot to get out of it.
And sending texts and stuff is what I mainly do, of course I browse the Internet, play games and everything. During school and such I only text people, and a lot. So I pretty much needs the phone to make more than 24hours without charging it, even though I text a lot and listen to music.
@NardVa;
Won't be a problem. Already thought of that
Thanks for the replies

I was going to suggest flashing, the stock rom is garbage for battery life. Android Revolution HD seems to be one of the more popular choices, but of course Cyanogen Mod is there if you decide the Sense UI isn't your thing

I've made up my mind now, I'll use the official GB ROM for a couple of days/weeks/months (basically untill I'm tired of Sense 2.1) and then flash a Sense 3.0 ROM and hopefully I can understand which one of all those RUU's that's made for Europe too when I'm bored of Sense 2.1
You don't happen to know how it is with bricking this phone? Can you always reset it to stock, or can you actually brick it for real so it's 100% unusable?
I've only owned 2 andoirds, mytouch3g and nexus1. Neither had SENSE and i always ran CM w/e version they had.
Now i get a INCS and well CM7 is pretty dated stuff. CM9 isn't 100% where i wanted it to be. A lot of roms had SENSE tied into it and i tried it out. Things are diffrent but i could say good or bad. Oddly enough, they all had better battery life then CM7 and the quatrro ICS rom. Well during my unoffical testing anyways.
Obviously i'm not used SENSE so naturally i dont like it because its just different. Just wanted to know everyone's personal reason for using or not using SENSE.
I see no benefits to Sense. Some people say the widgets are really nice but I hardly use any widgets, so it doesn't really apply to me. When I used to use Sense ROMs, I had customized everything anyway (no Rosie launcher, no Sense lockscreen, all 3rd party apps, etc).
I can see what you mean when you say sense roms seem to have better battery life than cm7. You wouldn't think it but I've found it to be true.

coming from CM7 on the n1, i always needed a charger before the end of my work day. If i dont touch the phone at all i go home with about 50%.
So when i first got my INCS I played with sense rom, one each day. Starting with inferno, bliss and then android revolution. I was simply amazed i was going home with 71% battery and HEAVY usage. I read reviews on the phone getting good battery life, so i thought that. I ran CM7 and poop, had to go home with 20% without a charger. I then went into the ICS world, first off was yesterday being virtous quattro. Decent rom but i went home with 46% and light usage. Mainly because youtube doesn't work well.
So i'm kinda in limbo until we get a real ICS version out. Because all ICS roms are not 100% working, CM7 is poor in battery life and lacking items. I'm most likely going to shuffle around the SENSE roms to find something i like.

That seems very strange. Sense ROMs have never been so good on my IncS. I found that CM7 was very good. I am running MIUI now, and the battery life is amazing on it. With some heavy usage (3G, voice calls, bluetooth transfers and some light gaming), I had 65% left at the end of the day. I tried Virtuous Quattro (RC3 and 4), but it wasn't good though the ROM is pretty decent like you said. With a Sense ROM, I always found the battery to be at 30-40% at the end of the day with just voice calls and some wifi.. 3G drained the battery like a sinkhole.
Only thing I miss from sense was the contact sync with facebook working sooo nicely. Not much more tbh.

I use set CPU and incredicontrol for UV but it doesn't really matter as long as your oc app has profile settings.
Yeah when I was running ARHD with the No-Sense script the battery seemed to be the best out of all the ROMs I've tried, better than CM7.1.
Personally, I use Sense ROMs because the video recording just isn't worth using without it, and the reverse tethering feature is handy for me (being stuck on a crappy plan for the time being). If HTC ever release the camera drivers I'd probably stop using Sense and wouldn't look back.
i'm just not a huge fan of the dialer and whole contact views.
Well I had LG P500 (using LG Launcher or Launcher Pro), Nexus S (MIUI) and now the Incredible S (using sense 3.5).
I hat the asop look of Gb android, and I must install lot's of stuff to get things done quick.that changed with MIUI, good looks, lot's of integration out of the box (toggles for everything), but sense is another world, almost every common app seems integrated, they have widgets with a common look,it's fine.
I have a fast phone (maybe not as fast as MIUI or CM,but fast enough), with all of the things that I need/like almost out of the box,and better with good battery life and stability!
Well, after trying a few non-sense ( sounds kinda funny ) ROMs, I am using a sense based one now, and I don't like it one bit. The only reason I am back on this is for the camera. The pics were too grainy for my liking. But this ROM is slow, and since I don't use many widgets, sense offers me very little. And battery life was best on MIUI and CM7.
Almost every other ROM I have used is faster than this.

I've got to agree with soothsayer. ARHD has very good battery life, and if you've UVed your Rom for stable and dependable performance it sometimes beats CM7, esp if you have some rogue app like Google maps etc, which refuses to be killed and keeps running in the background, eating your battery.
IMO, its not just the bloat in Sense UI, but the other bloat / crapware apps that you have, that ruin your battery. Google apps are the main culprits (maps, gtalk, search, contact sync, calendar sync, g+, FB, Twitter, stocks, auto sync settings & always on data connection) that drain battery. I rip out all these apps / apks and use droidwall to selectively allow only known & trusted apps to connect on data. Sometimes, my ARHD outperforms CM7, esp if I've flashed gapps on CM7.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
I gave sense a fair chance coming from a cm7 device, I used niks rom and arhd and affinity, affinity was the best of em.
But since i am running ICS (icecold sandwich) i would consider it a nightmare to go back to sense.
Sense uses too much memory, runs too much odd services, has a lousy dialer, loads of crap apps one does not use and the most horrible launcher ever (rosie)
Plusses of sense are a great camera app, good lockscreen and a nice clock widget, but thats about it.
I think i can live with the little shortcomings of CM9 for now, (tip: if u use youtube in hq mode it works flawless)

i'm a sense lover. i tried "senseless" roms many times and always went back quickly.
reasons for going back to sense were:
- i need many different apps to have a powerful homescreen
- visual things (i love the optic)
- dialer, contacts are best imho
- better camera with powerful tools
- little phone things like: vibration when a person accept the call, louder ringtone if the phone is in a bag, ringtone volume decrease if u already grab the phone
- timer, alarms are included
- lockscreen is beauti- and powerful
- best weather app
- htc music is wonderful
for me its a wonderful "all inclusive" package and i hate to install tons of apps to have good functions. sense is a big reason why i bought a htc phone
For me, SENSE has the best Mail for Exchange support.
Also the contacts were nicely merged from many different accounts
Do miss that on ICS
I prefer Sense over AOSP/AOKP roms because of the FriendStream, People and Clock+Weather widgets (also the People app merging with SN links) and the device is just designed to use it with Sense i think. I tried a few other roms but neither seems to be good for me.

Hello everyone, as the title suggests if only Sammy released JB for my phone. I love the look and feel of it on the S3 but just dont like the phone, its too big and bulky IMHO. I am eagerly waiting for the S4.
Anyway, the reason for the post, i have been using CM10 on my I9000 for the last couple of weeks, i actually love it ands it actually pretty stable but and its a BIG BUT the battery drain finally killed the last remnants of patience i had with it. 12-15hrs on one battery charge is just not satisfactory.....so ive gone back to stock GB 2.3.6 and already the battery life has dramatically increased. Is this a firmware issue or poor hardware I wonder.
In anycase i would like JB back on this phone but I would like at least the same battery performance as GB, so my question really is about which JB ROM i could use?
Anyone got any ideas, recommendations or rom-avoidance advice? Anything would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thankyou!
G.
Use a different modem, and try a tweakable kernel like Semaphore. Also install betterbatterystats. That will tell you what's keeping your phone awake. I get two days out of my worn out two year old battery on the latest CM10 with low to medium use. Back on ICS, before I changed the modem, a RILJ wakelock would keep it awake pretty much all the time and I had about 12-15 hours of battery life. I'd rather Samsung stay as far away from software development as possible because nothing they have ever done in that department has been even remotely usable.
I also wish Samsung would release official JB for the I9000, but I'm afraid it's never gonna happen. They have left the I9000 behind it seems, and I think Gingerbread 2.3.6 was the last ever official update. It's custom ROM's from now on for the Galaxy S.
I wish i could fly.

try a different modem??? try a different kernel??? i apologise i dont really know what you mean....
1. are you suggesting you can change the modem - how on earth do you do that??
2. ive heard the word Kernel being used but actually dont know what one is or what it does. complete novice to all this im afraid - i know about ROMs (for JB) like Cyanogen CM10, Slimbean and HellyBean etc etc, and have actually heard of this Semaphore but not actually knowing what it is!
Can you explain what this all means at all ?
btw - i get your point about Samsung especially on thier own non-andriod phones. to be fair the stock roms work flawlessly on my i9000 and the UI progression from Eclair to GB is staggering...even if it is cloaked as Andriod development....still looks and feels better than any Iphone. Thats what i meant by i wish Samsung would of developed ICS and JB for the I9000.
What helps in terms of battery life CM roms is:
-using 2d as much as possible and 3d only when needed (browsing, downloading apps etc). Problem is that 2g mode will not allow you to use data and make phone calls at the same time
-disable location services or at least gps when not used
-freeze/remove apps you are not using (stock email, talk, gmaps are battery drainers)
-disable CM built in app&data backup and use TB instead
-use lowest acceptable screen brightness
-buy a brand new battery

Hmmmm well all that seems like a gr8 idea but then what would be the point of flashing CM or any JB custom rom if i werent going to be able to use the features within it, like you would an S3 ??!!!! Kinda seems pointless to me... At the end of the day JB is the latest and greatest version, youd want to use and explore its capabilites as much as you can, without comprimising hardware performance..
Surely there must be a non battery draining and stable version of JB out there.......:crying:
@up
Totally agree with you. These are just workarounds that make you able to survive a day without recharging but at the same time limit user's satisfaction from owning a multifunctional device (eg no location and gps = no Google now). I'm switching to SGS2 that will get official jb shortly so will see if it gets better battery life but I do not expect miracles. The only hope in Google and Motorola cooperation. Motorola's battery + updates from Google must make a great combo

Before anything else, please install CM10.1 (http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd), CPU Spy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy) and BetterBatteryStats. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809)
Now in BetterBatteryStats, look at the "partial wakelocks" near the end of a day's charge and drain cycle. This will tell you what was keeping your phone awake. My money is on RILJ being at the top of the list and active for several hours. If that is the case, you need to change your modem. Check CPU Spy as well to see how much time your phone spends sleeping when it's supposed to.
Modems
The "modem" is basically like a driver file for the phone's radios and such. (Cell radio, WiFi, GPS, etc) It tells the phone how to use those things. So some modems are less efficient or not tuned as well for your specific carrier.
http://soggycashew.weebly.com/i9000-modems.html - Here is a collection of modems packaged in Clockwork Mod zip files. If you were able to install CM10, I'm sure you know how to install them.
Go to the "i9000_release_dates.txt" file and try the most recent one. If you have an i9000M which supports the 850MHz band, only use the 850MHz-capable modems. Likewise, if you have a regular i9000, don't use those. Testing may take at least day or so each. If you're still seeing a RILJ wakelock time more than about 20 minutes a day, try the next latest one.
Kernels
The "Kernel" is sort of like the BIOS in a PC. It starts up first then Android runs on top of it. Android communicates with the kernel, and then the kernel communicates with your phone's hardware. It runs the screen, sound chip, vibrator, radios, everything. Some kernels are basic and only include what they need to run the phone normally (like the stock Cyanogenmod kernel) and some are made to let you change all sorts of settings of how they operate.
I highly recommend Semaphore JB for CM10.1
You'll find that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220
And the app to change settings here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.semaphore.sm
For improved power savings, use the app to turn on Deep Idle, make sure WiFi PM FAST is disabled, and you may as well turn on fast charge. (no power saving, but a shorter charge time is nice)
Android
Now this stuff is pretty simple, but it can be overlooked. Make sure to turn off apps that auto-update or at least lower their update frequency as much as possible. These are brutal for battery life. With your Google account, only enable sync for things you NEED to have updated automatically. Like Gmail and Chrome. Things like Contacts and Calendar you can update manually whenever you want but you probably don't need it constantly ready to sync. You can also do things like lower the screen brightness and turn off the fancy stuff, but I don't bother. 100% screen brightness all the time for me. I'd rather have a good experience than another couple minutes of battery.
I really hope this all helps and you can get on the latest ROM without the crippling battery drain these phones sometimes get. And you have the right idea about keeping all the effects and things on. Everything's active when the screen is on anyway, so battery savings will be negligible. Good luck!
All operating systems have a kernel, Windows, OS-X, Linux, whatever, it's just that in a closed system like Windows no-one knows its specifics or can do anything to it, whereas Linux's can be.
(Take a look at your screen when turning on your phone, the kernel image is not the first you see)

They should do that as soon as possible as the JB thing means a great progress in Android development. The new OS is really faster, covers alot of minuses from the previous versions and Samsung, being so good in the last few years they should stay in touch with new, good ROMs if they dont want to begin to have Google as their second conquerent.

Apple just stops updating devices for no better reason than they want to force upgrades, it's not like the old devices wouldn't work. Like what Samsung did here, except at least porting Android over would take a little bit of work/time. Still no better though. Apple also holds "features" back from older devices purely to market something new on their otherwise indistinguishable upgrade. (like Siri)
Nobody, including Apple, should follow Apple's example. I think Samsung should stop bothering with bastardizing Android and just hand the drivers over to the devs here, because they actually make software people actually want to use, and enjoy using.
...its very sad that i9000 won't get ( >= ICS), sgs1 is still very good phone...
Wish, you were here...
successfully using cm10 stable without any customized kernels , no battery drains, just do a factory reset from firmware settings, and you will be happy

Hi guys,
I'm watching for one very good rom (with costum kernel). What I mean, it's a rom that doesn't lag and that has every thing works properly (bluetooth, camera, lockscreen, etc.)
Trying roms during my X8 usage, I always got some problem, like lags, app not working, system blocks, etc.
I'd like get a reccomandation abaout a rom, that works properly. I don't care which android version is, the important thing is that it is fast, well-auto-illuminated and good battery drain. (obviously with wi-fi, BT and camera)
Why I ask you? 'Cause there so many roms, in these forum, that I can't try every one. But maybe you remember about one like I desire =)
I hope you can help me! =)
Thanks!

I hope you can help me! =)
Thanks!

Used many roms .
the one which i like is XPeria soul engine CosMos with nAa 14 kernel..
its one of the smoothest GB rom i have used .. BUG FREE!
almost no LAGS! Very fast, responsive..
and the best thing it gives is lots and lots of free ram..
battery drain is also good..
i recomend u this ROM ..

the other one which i liked is GingerDX v31b again with nAa kernel..
quite slow..
and the development for this rom is stopped ..
So we cant wait for more in this rom..

Soul engine is about to release its new version
so u can say you'll get something more and exciting
Thank you! I'll take a look at XperiaSoul

Hi guys,
I'm watching for one very good rom (with costum kernel). What I mean, it's a rom that doesn't lag and that has every thing works properly (bluetooth, camera, lockscreen, etc.)
Trying roms during my X8 usage, I always got some problem, like lags, app not working, system blocks, etc.
