Hello Mods n Modders,
This is my 1st post and thanks to Admin for launching this website...
My SGS i9000 is currently on stock v2.3.4 JVR (rooted by flashing 'semaphore' kernel) and now I want to downgrade the current JVR to JVQ, in other words, I want to flash Darky's v2.2.2 ROM(w/o touchwiz), which is more stable I guess
So, is it possible to downgrade from JVR to JVQ without bricking my new Galaxy S??
Also answer.. is Darky's latest JVQ really stable than stock JVR (in terms of battery, speed and least buggs)??
Please help...
p.s: I can't post this question in Developer's section due to very less quantity of post
Yes u can downgrade by flashing JVQ from odin and download firmware from www.samfirmware.com

I can't say that Darky's ROM is more stable, but it is faster, and obviously provides more functionality than the stock ROM.
If you're really set on speed, try Faryaab's F1 SGS2 ROM v6.
This is by far the fastest ROM I've tested, with all the stableness of most.
I've even tested the v7 released this week, but it is not nearly as fast, so I agree with the downgrading option because I've done the same.
I've tested 3 ROMs on JVS, and 3 on JVR, but this JVQ one is still my favourite.
Also note, that you can always flash the system apps you liked from the JVR version you were using previously, there should be some system apps around on here...I've flashed MMS, Camera, Email, and Phone from other ROMs I've liked.

hi ph03i!x_SA
I need a ROM to be very close to stock 2.4.3, - rooted, fast but not overclocked, and most important is the battery efficiency. Till now I have never been on Modded ROM. I liked the way you have customised SGS according to the stability and I wud really like to mod my SGS like that. I will try both of them
Custom ROMs don't always look different from stock

I think you mean 2.3.4?
You can still get the stock ROM, I think from samfirmware.com. Then, again, you can still flash custom apps, but you have to root the stock ROM.
Anything is possible, as long as someone has either released an app you like, or a version of the ROM you like.
I never thought I'd get so involved with this custom ROM stuff, I also like the stock firmware, but after I rooted, and the lag of updates from Samsung officially, the need arose. But the F1 ROM looks like the a cross between stock ROMs of SGS and SGS2, so it's still clean. None of that messy battery icons, custom notifications bar, etc. I don't like those.
Enjoy
Be careful, changing ROMs becomes addictive.

o I meant 2.3.4
I agree with you.I used to do modding some 6-7 years ago on my old Motorola v3i and then on SE w810 ...but I will be sure I wont get involved in addictive stuff, since more responsible things have come up now!!
I have tried a couple of different roms, and it is realy hard to find a perfect one. I realy like cm7-kang and miui. It has great speed and response, but the problems with the gpu drivers, is causing some of my apps to freeze and lag. I have been happy with the stock rom combined with horsepower kernel. Without the kernel, my phone gets slower after a day or two. With the kernel, it will take longer before the phone gets slower. So does anyone know a rom based on stock that has fixed the slowdown bug.
Thanks
I Suggest gueste v3 rom based on cyanogen and stock .!!! its perfect working , very fast , i am currently using it without any problems check it. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464986
my phone has many lags in scrolling pages in most of launchers .
hove can i solve this ?
There are several threads on this.
If your Note is not Rooted, then you would be best getting Root access and disabling or removing much of the stock bloatware. It will kill performance and battery.
You could also, or alternatively, flash a different kernel. If doing that, you may as well go for Root access as well IMO.
I also had some annoying lags thoroughly the whole GUI.
All of them gone away since I flashed a custom Kernel, in my case it's Franco Kernel 9, imho it's the kernel that counts (or you have a f******-up-firmware ^^) .
Regarding lags I could not see/feel a difference between stock firmware and custom ROM (Darky ROM 3.3 final), together with franco kernel 9 the feel the same lag-wise .

Yup..i agree.. I hav tried almost all roms out there... All the ones till la6 werent so lagfree..But not now... U should try lc1 custom roms with frankos kernel... My browser is f****** fast... I m in love with my phone again...
Hint:try chracks rom and add francos new sources kernel or v9 kernel to it= pure awesomeness and almost zero lagss... My adw launcher and browser is so smooth now.. Try a kalagas theme to add more elegance to it.. And u are gonna hav a hell of a fast phone...) give it a try..highly recommended..
Remove the widgets nd see if the lag remains.....i was on go launcher nd now im bak to twizz.....the lag stopped when i removed some of the widgets...cant remember which ones though. Id start with a blank home page nd check 4 the lag one by one.....that is ofcourse if u dont want to root

You should try all the new lc1 roms for your self and try them out.. Try the new lc1 roms.. Like chracks,checkrom,kingdroid,cassies...
Wait for official ICS and the lag should be gone.

If you're not keen on rooting, go to task manager and clear RAM on regular basis to stop several running apps. Sometimes low available RAM slows system. Also, reduce amount of widgets you're using as poster mentioned above.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new owner of another SS Galaxy Note, I used to be a BB user (the last one was a great Bold9900)
I'm a totally new in this section and as far as I can see the responsible of the Note is worse than the, let's say Iphone and Ipad. My gf has IP3Gs, the ROM is 5.1.1 and it's still fast enough, the response is quite fast, the sliding is instant etc. The ipad is very fast as it's The New Ipad.
My Note software version is 4.0.3 build DXLP5. Build DXLP9 - the newest SouthAsian version (for Vietnam). I can see that the Note responses not as fast as the Iphone, for example you open the Phone icon and it takes like 2 seconds to open, the slide to unlock is not as smooth and snappy.
Btw I have installed both the FREE and PAID version of Fruit and Ninja and I lost the game after few minutes of playing because the slides to cut are not instant as in Iphone, Ipad so I missed lot of fruits.
So to sum up it's not very smooth and snappy, instant. Other than that the Note is great and sexy, I wish I can make it faster and snapier, like the iOS is nearly instant, even the old IP3GS running the new and heavy 5.1.1 OS
I want to ask from where to start? Which custom ROM to use so my system become more responsible, instant and smooth?
I have read that the SpeedMOD kernel has good reviews, may I just install that Kernel on my stock ROM and my Note become more snappy and fast?
As I'm a noob in this section, I'm still afraid of going far like installing Custom ROMS so my fone become bricked...
I have a feeling that in my stock ROM untouched the Note sometimes needs seconds to think, after that it will proccess my order.
THank you for reading!

I use Franco kernel r5 with franco updater that allows me to overclock my Note to 1600 MHz.

So just the Stock ROM and the custom Kernel?
How is it feels like with the 1600 MHz instead of the stock 1400 Mhz?
I swear the Fruit and Ninja is soooo laggy that I missed the fruits and lost the game
And I'd like to ask: When for example - you use stock ROM with custom Kernel or you use custom ROM with custom Kernel and you decide to come back to stock ROM (new version release, or you come back to install another custom ROM etc etc) - how do you do the revert back?
I have been on this device for several days so still wondering, the 1st impression is that it's not very smooth, snappy and instant.

No I use Kingdroid rom ICS v2 and Franco kernel r5. With 1400 MHz, the quadrant score is about 4000 , with 1600 MHz, the quadrant score is about 4800. I do not know if you will have the same performance with stock rom.
Make sure you take the time to read up on the brick situations so you won't brick your brand new Note.

Thank you very mucho,
Is it possible I only do the SpeedMod kernel (I see the feedbacks indicating that it's better than the Franco) and my Note will be faster?
Once I only replace the Kernel, is it possible I update the stock ROM with another updated stock ROM version or custom ROM or I would have to come back to original stock and only then do the update?

If you flash a new ROM, it will flash the kernel that goes with it so you would need to re-flash speedmod or franco again.

Thank you,
1) Wich one do you think is better? Speed or Franco?
2) Will my fone be faster and more snappy, smooth (iphone like lol) if I use the stock 4.0.3 ROM + custom kernel
3) If I only flash the kernel (or I install the absolutelly new custom ROM), how do I come back to stock ROM?

1) I would say Franco because of OC capability but I haven't tested either.
2) I can't answer that. I hate the iPhone.
3) You just flash the stock ROM back and it will override the kernel. Just don't wipe data after you are on stock kernel.
4) I'm adding a number 4. Try CM9 build of something.

Lol,
1) Yeah coz I have been reading the feedbacks about SpeedMod 3-3 and seems like it's more stable
2) Ok let's take Ipad into consideration, what I'm trying to ask here is how to imrove the response of the Note. In fact the game fruit and ninja you will miss lot of fruits because the touch operations are not instant, the game is not laggy tho. Have a try
3) So from the Custom ROM just Install back the Stock ROM via Odin? In the Stock ROM if I wipe data (factory reset) there's possibility to brick the device right? I'm using the latest South-Asian version DXLP9 and I think I did the factory reset twice - thankfully the fone is working, but the laggy is still there.
4) Why you recommend to install a Custom ROM, the Stock + Custom kernel will not do the trick? I just want better battery and instant response
Hello, I recently bought myself a new Galaxy S i9000 for mostly multi-media purposes. I was looking for a smartphone that would suit my audiophilia needs and after lots of googling I found out that this is just the phone for that, so I bit the bullet and bought an unlocked one
Came in the mail today and I need your help with this! I've had androids before so I am somewhat familiar with the ecosystem, however since I joined the galaxy S bandwagon quite late, I'm REALLY behind on Roms and such.
Obviously, since I bought such an old device, I had my reasons; which are music. I'm gonna root this soon and I wanna install a rom with these sort of features.
I need a rom thats:
-Smooth as it can be
-Has the Voodoo Sound Kernal (according to everybody, that's how one unleashes the full potential of the sound)
-....won't get rid of my unlock
I don't care for customization, games, social media, etc. I just want a rom that's smooth, responsive, and has voodoo so I can enjoy my music on the go
Thanks!
If you want to go for custom ROMs then CM 10 all the way, its nighty so is still has bugs. But is good enough for daily usage. And damn is smooth I will never go back to GB or anything else...
You can try also CM 9, there is a stable version. Look for it in the development section.
This phone once unlocked, will never lock again!! unless you want to

CM10 Definitely LOOKS smooth, but is it fast and responsive? I've seen youtube videos (the very few there are) of single core phones that can only handle CM10 somewhat OK....they are somewhat smooth, but unresponsive when it comes to opening apps and menus (lots of loading and stuff). So is CM10 for this phone fast as well as smooth?

JB Custom Rom C-RoM Mix or C-RoM BeaN are highly recommended. You won't get disappointed with these Roms.
I've tried several Custom Roms, but i found C-RoMs to be the best, very fast, smooth, responsive, and stable.
This JB Custom C-RoM was benchmarked by Ratborg to be the fastest JB Custom Rom.
The kernel (Semaphore) supports Voodoo Sound.

Wow this is great, thanks alot friend!
Umm, but could you help me out I've flashed ROMS before but I've never flashed a kernel ever. How do I safely and efficiently do that? I just rooted my device and am now running stock 2.2 . How do I go on about flashing the kernal and the Rom? This looks amazing!

The Rom contains the Kernel already, so unless you want to change or upgrade the built-in Kernel that's the time you have to flash it.
Flashing of Rom or Kernel usually can be made through CWM by going into Recovery Mode.
If you're coming from Gingerbread, the safest procedure is to flash an ICS CM9 first before this recommended C-RoM (which is based on CM10 and AOKP), this is to avoid getting your IMEI invalid.
During flashing of a Rom, you will have to re-flash twice or sometimes 3x before getting successful due to Android system and Partition Layout differences.
Don't forget to backup your important database and applications via Titanium Backup or GoBackup so you can restore them back after successfully flashing the new Rom.
Good luck and enjoy flashing.
Try this configuration, i have it my self... it runs really well, is not unresponssive at all, maybe some hiccups but overall is good.

Alright so this ROM contains the "sephamore" kernal with voodoo sound itself? Cool! Um, so I first flash a CM9 ROM, and then from there flash this?

Yes the Rom contains Semaphore kernel and yes you have to flash CM9 first and from there flash C-RoM.
Semaphore kernel supports vodoo sound but i think you have to install an application that produces the voodoo sound itself. I'm not sure but you have to further research on this.
