[Rooted] Excessive RAM usage and laggy experience on SGSA - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am have recently rooted my SGSA. After reading the various recommndations on the forums, I installed TWRP recovery.
My first ROM was Galaxperia ROM by achyut. It was working fine in the beginning but after a while it started to lag a lot. The only reason I rooted my phone was that the stock firmware was laggy as hell. RAM usage was always above 500MB, and even after clearing it, it remained around 430MB. So naturally, I uninstalled that ROM.
After installing JellyMOD 4.0 ROM, I noticed the same problem. RAM usage was similar to Galaxperia.
So, can you guys suggest me a ROM which is fast enough and has low RAM usage?? is The current CM 10.1 version stable?
Any help is appreciated.

yes, cm10.1 is ALMOST stable. Only a few bugs like low incoming call volumes, etc.
You can surely use that, im also using that and has a lot of free ram which makes the phone rum super smooth. Im sure u'll also like that.
If you don't want to go to cm10.1, you can debloat your phones system, ie remove unwanted apps, yourself using titanium backup or root app delete.

Thanks. I'll be flashing the CM 10.1 ROM from here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108362&highlight=+rom+
Also, could you tell me what latest version of CoCore Kernel is stable and compatible with this CM?

No no no no don't do this cm 10.1 is not compatible with any other kernel..
Just do the wipes and install cm 10.1 and it will install it's kernel by itself, no need to do anything extra
Other than flashing the rom.
Of you install the kernel after cm 10.1 you will get reboots and lot of fc's (force closes)..
The best rom====>cm 10.1

Yes you can flash from cocore kernel (I know you need the perm recovery). But after flashing CM, cocore kernel will be replaced with CM kernel. And like the guys said before, you can't flash cocore after flashing CM as it is not compatible. Only use CM with its kernel (you gets it with the rom itself). Hope this clears your confusion.
As for what cocore you need for flashing CM, it don't really matter.

Yes, you should.
1. Download the latest cm10.1 nightly and 4.2.2 gapps
2. Flash any cocore 6.8/7.0 with cwm
3. Make nandroid backup
4. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
5. Flash cm10.1, gapps
And you're Done. Go for it.

Just go to this link====>http://goo.im/devs/diegoch/janice/cm-10.1/nightly/
here you can download the latest nightly AND flash accordingly..
or you can just follow the steps laid down by the szzlgupta..
no need to factory reset, just wipe dalvik cache and cache if upgrading from one cm 10.1 nightly to another..
but when coming from another rom or stock you know what to do..

I have flashed the CM 10.1 from the forum's link (not the recent nightly build).
I am having a few issues. Firstly, where is the RAM manager? Also, the options in the drop-down menu are very less. Not at all what I was expecting:crying:

First of all flash the latest nightly and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache..
Then go to settings >system >quick pulldown and go to tiles and layout option and add your desired tiles..

CM10 (can't remember which nightly I used) doesn't have those problems either.
Apparently ShenduOS is also really good. I haven't had time to test it yet.

you obviously dont know how to use the phone. latest cm10 nightly dont have that bugs, maybe the battery drain but it depends on how you use the phone but my experience with any gb roms specially stock is the same battery life with cm10, so everyone can use it now as a daily driver aside from you caveman who dont know how to use your ob.

nightly from 20121111 or 20121114 have an exelent battery duration, the only issues that I had so far, is GPS takes around 10 minutos to lock a satelite, and the camera crashes every time you try to record a video, photos works great
Does som1 has the problem that the softkeys aren't working?? i did all 3 wipes but they still don't work
Can you guys please tell me what firmware (KDZ/AP+CP) you are using?? or is it a hardware issue??
When using CWM or CynMod7 (boype's) they respond great, but using cm10 they don't work at all (not responding, lights are on!)
I had the same issue and solved formating /system. I'm using RR JB v3.

Doesn't make much sense, if you flash a stock ROM you need to root first to flash a custom ROM and if you want a custom ROM why flash a stock ROM first?

Lag fix

Hello forum users
can anyone share a recent lag fix for my i9000 please?
i rooted my device and i have got Busybox 1.17.1
kindly regards,
stepan12
Hey,
First update your busybox, and if you doesn't matter, I would recommend you to change to a custom Rom. I'm from the i9001 but I'm sure that in the development forum of the s1 are a lot of tweaks for GB. If not look into the i9001 forum

For my experience, stock ROM sucks and always lag. Ever since I updated mine to Supernexus 2.0 M1 ROM, my phone is just as stable as Nexus 4.
No joke. Do it to believe. If you don't wanna do, then hard reset your phone and format the entire drive. Should be pack with a lot temp files and caches.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Speedmod kernel should be what you're looking for.

Root your JB and use universal kernel flash app to update to cocore 7.2. It is an zip you can unpack and use the bin file in the ukf app, then reboot

It lags a lot especially the dialer.
also, while playing long video the device goes into coma - I mean it becomes non-responsive.

If you flashed the kernel, the lags won't magically disappear but it is considerably reduced because the lags in dialer/camera/contacts are samsung's fault.

Just download the snapshot ROM and gapps .
And flash it the same way you flashed cm10.1.3 RC3
have a nice day
The next Version of CM 10.1.3. is the pure stable version ,right?
I don`t see any RC3 in the download portal of CM...last RC is the second one ...
So i think this is the stable-version which you have ,right?
Flashing the same way you always flash a version ...
With CM10.2 you should have about 40% longer battery life and faster phone.
Latest nightlies work perfectly fine for me. Download rom zip, gapps for 4.3x/cm10.2, run your i9000 in recovery mode, wipe all (factory reset/data, cache, dalvik cache) flash rom zip twice (first time it will just warn you that system repartitions are different), then flash gapps while still in recovery, reboot, wait until the system and all apps get upgraded, log on your google account and enjoy.
If your apps now are synced with your google account, you'll have all of them automatically downloaded short after running the CM10.2
Have you flashed to CM 10.2 ??? And what is your opinion about it ...:good:

One tip, put max background apps to 1 or 2. Try SamiOS for example. For kernel, I used latest CoCore - it was ok.

Probably yes. If you fail you can always flash stock JB and then install CM10.1.
Remember that you need to do factory reset after install of another ROM, to avoid getting into a bootloop.
