Hi guys,
I'm on CM10.1 stable and I'd like to switch to a custom Kernel for better performace (mainly smoothness and battery life).
I'd like to know which are your favourites and why (3 reasons). Could be a good help to other novices also.
Thanky you!!!

I recently updated to CM 10.1 Stable from 10.0 Stable.
While I was on CM 10.0 I used Semaphore Kernel and had 1) excellent luck and 2) support. Just go to Semaphore's thread and see 3) the praise and 4) respect stratosk (the developer) has earned! Semaphore would be my first non-stock Kernel choice without hesitation.
You asked for 3 reasons and got 4 reasons.
Enjoy!
As I recall, Semaphore supports only Samsung GT-I9000 and Nexus 4.
my fav would be stock
but i ll use semaphore sometimes even in GB, cyancore (if i feel to make my fone a psp ) fishear for testing cm10 ROM, n mackay for twrp (making my friend jealous of touch recovery)
but mostly semaphore

Try semaphore, been using it for a year (and updating of course) and never had a problem with it.
I have used Semaphore for 3 years and i will use it until my phone breaks. :silly:
The last times the best for me is mackay
Latrop is also a really stable kernel

Random reboots
After about four days of CM 10.1.1 stable I must say that it's very smooth and has good battery (about same as cm 10.0 stable with semaphore 2.6.5 or (even better) Slim Bean 4.2.1 stable in my case). Battery time with CM 10.0 stable and it's own Cyanocore kernel was terrible.
However 1) I have had about two random hard reboots a day while phone was in sleep mode. After full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik it still occurs.
And 2) soft reboots when connecting to PC via USB or updates of apps on internal sd storage. This problem also occured while using Slim Bean 4.2.1 stable. (This problem was never with CM 10.0 stable) It kept coming back after several complete factory wipe and wipes of cache and dalvik.
Can that soft reboot problem be a general Android 4.2x problem with apps moved to SD?
After clean flash and/or full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik I use Titanium to restore to restore all my apps and appdata (only non system relaterd resores). Can the problem be related to Titanium app-restores?
Directly after a random hard reboot I copied as read in some topic last_kmsg and logcat. But what to look for in those files (with a lot of text) after opening them with wordpad?
Why is semaphore kernel so popular ...what are its advantages to stock-kernel, for example in CM ???

Semaphore is the stock CM kernel on steroids. It lets you use the standard processor governors and voltages and so on but allows other things such as touchwake, a bit better vibration control, deep idle and many other features- I can't remember most of them off the top of my head

No more random reboots
After reflashing CM 10.1.2 (and off course factory reset, clear cache and clear dalvik) I now don't have random reboots anymore.
The difference with last time when I was having random reboots: this time I did not restore apps with data using Titanium Backup. I reïnstalled all the apps via Play Store. Meanwhile I read also in the thread of this rom that Titanium restores causes random reboots and soft reboots off updating/removing apps located on internal sd storage.
Although my i9000 now have been working flawless about the last 5 days, not being able to restore apps and data with Titanium is a real let down. Changing rom and installing apps and setting them up is a real annoying time consuming job. I will now be thinking twice before changing and testing other custo firmware. Hopefully Titanium comes with a solution.
---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
The CM 10.1.2 stable rom is working very well now. The original CM-kernel seems much better than the one that came with CM 10.0 stable concerning smoothness, batterytime and stability. CM 10.0 (different flashes and factory resets) had much lag but also bootloops out of the blue sometimes. That led to trying Semaphore-kernel which in my case performed very much better and more stable than the CM 10.0 kernel itself.
That's why I'm very curious how latest Semaphore-kernels perform with CM 10.1.x stable. Has anyone tried that yet?
But the best performing rom I've ever had on my i9000 came after that and was Slim Bean 4.2.1 stable (which includes Semaphore as standard kernel). When the stable version comes of Android 4.2.2 there is a 90 percent change I will reflash Slim Bean. Slim Bean was like CM on steroids and also better batterytime in my case.
Hopefully there is then a solution for the current Titanium errors. Otherwise again reinstalling all apps and setting them up. Or try MyBackup Root in stead of Titanium.
I have already put money a side for the new Nexus 7 and my i9000 is still a great phone which does not need replacement. With the earlier mentioned Slim Bean rom my i9000 even performed better than my brothers laggy Galaxy S3 with stock rom. But everybody knows how terrible for performance Thouchwiz is.

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

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?

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

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.

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...
Inviato dal mio GT-I9000 con Tapatalk 2
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).

Are you on some of the nightlies or on a stable?
Hello all.
First I want to thank the developers for this fast & beautiful ROM.
And here is my question since I cant post it in the original thread for this rom, If any1 else beside me that upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 noticed major lags when scrolling between app pages in app drawer and overall lesser responsiveness from the phone.
I have installed semaphore kernel 2.9.12s.
my installation procedure to install 4.2.2 was:
had installed 4.2.1 official version + semaphore 2.9.12s
went to recovery -> full data wipe/factory reset, wiped dalvik cache, basically wiped anything with cache in its name, and manual format of /system
and then installed 4.2.2 build 1.1
when it booted up, the whole time i was using it the overall responsiveness was noticably slower than the 4.2.1 version to which i reverted previously and now using it.
was my install procedure faulty, are there still some bugs in the new rom, or is something wrong with my phone?

No, there was nothing wrong you did. 4.2.2 is not a final release as yet, it's a build 1 release, so that's the main reason for this Enjoy

For the bluesleep process that pervent your device to enter sleep mode you should take a look if it's a bug of the rom and if it's reported from other users. I think that the Wi-Fi is maybe a problem due to a not perfect flash of the rom. In anyway wipe everything, format system and sd card, than reflash the rom, you migh be good to go.
P.S. Try to freez bluesleep with greenfy and see what appen. This could be call a temporary fix if you don't care that much about Wi-Fi.
Good luck and have a great life

Bluesleep is the problem with Bluetooth in ICS rom with non ICS kernel. gonna try Ics kernel now. but for someother devices there is flashable fix for bluesleep.
wifi problem has been ter since stock ROM. i think its related to Baseband. Am searching for a good baseband for India.
Also can you suggest me a decent MIUI rom which work without lag. the rom which i was is without lag but the only problem is bluesleep & the previous wifi one

The rom you may looking for is a slimmed rom based on stock 2.3.6 rom by Samsung with Battery Extender kernel. The fastest and less battery-eater rom is the AOSP GB but has no working 3G connection so that's why you may not like it. Custom ROM suffers some instability some times and they're not perfect so that's why you should use on a phone you use for your job a stock based rom, in my opinion.
P.S. Do you really need a MIUI rom updated to a newer version of Android?
Also i have one more doubt. when i moved to custom kernel the boot logo animates like my phone gonna die i9s that normal or due to some voltage fluctuations ??

No problems at all, it's "normal" (i know sounds weird XD) when you flash a kernel that do not came with the rom itself. I've never faced instability related to voltages even in overclock. Remember that not every CPU is capable of the same overclock. If you doubt about stability do a stress test of cpu trough an app (I use it to test oveclock frequecies).
Guys, A little Help!
I am currently using my old Galaxy S I9000, as my HTC has gone to Service Centre for a week.
Last time I left it with JB Custom Rom (C-Rom Bean v1.9.0 Final) which was working quite OK! Now its too much laggy and slow all over while on JB Rom. I have already tried CM11, CM10.2, Slimkat, SpiritRom and Dark Unicorn (all 4.x.x and above).
Currently I am on CM7.2, which is working quite fine, considering its based on GB 2.3.7. I was also looking for working Lewa OS link, as I liked the one that I installed on my HTC, but couldn't find one.
Can anyone help me to understand what has happed to make this phone go soooooooo slow. Even if I am unable to instal Android 4 and above, I would still need the link for Lewa OS. If anyone has it, that'd be most helpful.

Can anyone help me to understand what has happed to make this phone go soooooooo slow. Even if I am unable to instal Android 4 and above, I would still need the link for Lewa OS. If anyone has it, that'd be most helpful.

Mainly, the problem is on the way the different roms use the dalvik vm and the way aforementioned roms are unable to leash cache used. So, my recomendation is a good rom which a good preset over dalvik used of memory and applications like App Cache Cleaner to erase the cache every now and them.
For me the perfect combination is:
1. Stable CM10.2.1 rom
2. Kernel Semaphore 3.3.0 (avoid version 3.3.0s because it gives problems with Netflix, besides version 3.3.0 is perfect and you can activate bigmem with Semaphore Manager App, so 3.3.0s is nonsense) (NOTE: You need odin for installing it, follow this instruction)
3. Gapps: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
4. Semaphore manager app. Settings for Semaphore Manager:
- Smartassv2 Governor: Awake ideal freq 900000 / Up rate 10000 / Down rate 99000 / Max CPU 50 / Min CPU 20 / Ramp up 300000 / Ramp down 300000 / Sleep ideal freq 300000 / Sample rate jiffies 2.
- Deep Idle: Enable
- Lock min freq to 100Mhz: Disable
- Active Scheduler: CFQ
- Bigmem: Enable
5. My build.prop to be placed within /system/ (remember to set for this file rw-r--r-- permissions and change owner to root).
6. A launcher like Zeam Launcher or Lightning Launcher
7. And finally an installed App Cache Cleaner Pro to erase the cache every now and them.
Best.
I have flashed CM10.2.with minimal gapps, but now unable to connect to internet. Tried flashing many times after wiping data, clearing cache and clearing Dalvik cache, but still unable to connect to internet.
EDIT: That as a temp problem with my carrier network. So, I have installed CM10.2 with above details. Working fine so far. Will let you know if there is any problem with this setup.

Try to flash the final build 2.2 of SlimBean 4.3 with SlimGapps.
It is faster than CM10.2 and has much better battery life (especially if you use TRDS mode)

Thanks for your piece of advice, I tried it long time ago but I still prefer a CM10.2.1 + a tweaked Semaphore 3.3.0 + Zeam Launcher + my build.prop + minor removing of CM apps.
Best.

I have tried to flash the zip last week but it stucked on "extracting system" every time. It just updated my recovery to TWRP 2.8.4.1, but didn't even reboot.
Maybe it is phone that isn't OK anymore. Its internal memory isn't working correctly anmore.

It takes approx 15-20 minutes for installation. You need to be a bit patient with this

Cool I tought it failed as the installation process never took that long yet. I will try again then.

OK, I 've flashed it. Lollipop on the i9000. It took 19min until the process was finished.
I have also flashed PA Gapps pico by Tkruzz, all other are probably too big.
The Omni LP alone (just Omni 5.0) is extremely smooth, but quite slow.
After flashing of Gapps (which BTW work perfectly fine) my i9000 has turned into the slowest device I ever used. It is way slower than Eclair, actually just same slow like my S8000 running CM7 from externalSD card.
It takes 15sec to open PlayStore, up to 2min to download and install an app (even smaller apps), about 5-10 sec to react on pressing any button and the device is often running out of memory and soft reboots are the result. It takes up to 15sec until the keyboard appears etc.
Otherwise all important functions work fine, but Lollipop is too big a task for the i9000 and except that it just works, there is simply no many people who would like to use a device with auch slowdowns. Even biggest fans of the i9000 (I might be among them) will have to face the fact that Android 5.0 is actually out of the hardware capacity of the S1

I myself am using CM10.2. Which works fine, with just a bit of lag. Its either that or gingerbread. Anyways, omni 5.0 for i9000 is just experimental at this stage, with promise for a more stable build by @humberos. It may be light on the system, but who knows.
I'd say buy a newer model if we need new OS as software is as good as its hardware and vice versa.
Omni is excellent and very stable, although in Alpha stage. That isn't my point.
LP system cannot get smaller, the i9000 is simply too slow for Android 5.0
It was just an info for people who dream to use Lollipop on i9000. It is a huge slowdown.
I have much faster devices but I don't use LP even there.

Hey,
I suggest you guys to use SlimBean v2.9 with the latest Slim JB gapps. The phone will be quite fast, despite this device is very old... This version of SlimBean is not available on their site but is here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!6xJnVaBY!qhF1g99N0zE1w6XZd3E2IPgvlBgAJWGrYluZehgajNE
I think further versions are significantly slower and this one offers quite a lot of customization as well. Good luck with the i9000 [emoji3]

Which Android version is that Slim build and why isn't it on the Slim server?
Is there a md5 checksum?
tetakpatalked from N7100
It's an android 4.1.2 and SlimBean version 2.9. It's not on the official site because it's not the latest 4.1.2 version they have distributed. That's the 3.1 if I'm not mistaken.
Sorry I don't have an md5 for the file...

Good to know. How is the battery life there? With CyanogenMod I remember that 4.1 and 4.2 had terrible battery life, while 4.3 was a lot better.

It can last from morning till the evening but of course depends on the usage.
From what I remember Slim on 4.1.2 was real solid, probably one of my favourite roms. 3.1 wasn't that bad either

I've tried today build 2.9
It worked fine but for some strange reason it didn't recognize my wifi router...all other networks just fine, but not the important one. I couldn't solve it, tried everything.
But I have feeling that SlimBean 4.3 is at least as good.
Hey, BTW I have filmed Omni 5.0.2, I will try to edit it and upload tomorrow

I don't think I ever got around to trying the 4.3 version, I remember the 4.2.2 version was a bit hit and miss when it came to battery (but then again, all 4.2.2 roms save Gamerzrom and a few others were). By the time the 4.4.x version came out I moved onto the S3 so I can't vouch for that, but Slim roms are pretty good
And you legend, thanks a lot
