I think that I9000 GPS does not have enough strentgh to catch the signals because I've tried many roms and got no perfect solution!

Test nightly of CM 10.2 ,many users write that their GPS now works better than ever ...

The GPS has always been qite hit and miss for the S because of hardware faults, although that can be changed (its under the general section)
Any rom based off CM10.2 (which includes Mackay, Helly Bean etc) contains updated GPS libs which apparently have boosted GPS speed/performance
Alternatively some roms contain AngryGPS which does help boost connectivity (in my cases at least, though this will vary)

And after a few hints will you test it with an other ROM, how the GPS works?:good::fingers-crossed:

yes, with official GB rom it working but i prefer jb roms .

There are so many great JB ROMS for our good old device, and it is great what the devs create ...
So let us know after flashing ROM if GPS works fine for you ...:good:

some works but a weak and some does not work at all

It is great how many different ROMs are available for our device ...
Maybe you test with CM 10.2 and then you can change to another ROM ...
For me and others of CM 10.2 GPS works fine as possible it could be because of the hardware ...:good:

[Q] RAM too low?

Hi, i have tried many ROMs for my SGS and the only ROM my SGS was fine with was
Tsunami X : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878961&highlight=tsunami
I think it's because of the HugeMemPatch the Dev talks about.
Yesterday I wanted to change my ROM to a newer, and also because the dev doesn't look like caring about the feedback so I downloaded Slim Bean 4.3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400003
And now my Ram only have like 20Mo Free... Google Services use 39Mo and Parameters 69Mo, What the...you know the following
Can somebody help me? Thanks
I don't know slimbean but i think it is the same prob as discussed in many topics...
Our SGS device gets older.. newer devices have lots more of RAM 1,5-2GB ...we have 512MB...
The apps consumed more RAM because of newer functions... same in Google apps... Android itself...
And 4.3 i think is in nightly status, maybe with first RC's it gets better

I fixed my own problem, I flashed my rom with carbon rom which is an awesome rom with the kernel Semaphore, if i'm not wrong SlimBean rom doesn't have Semaphore as kernel so i think Semaphore is the solution for everybody who have a low Ram problem.
Thanks !

2.3.6 vs 4.2.2/4.3 Should I?

Hello!
I was wondering if it's worth to update my GT-I9000 to 4.2.2/4.3. Is it going to bring any performance? More apps and games?
Thanks!
Hell Yeah!!!
Ofcourse, U'll have alot of support... More apps and games support only 4.X

4.2.2 is not as laggy as 2.3.6, so it brings a performance boost for ui. But games are better on 2.3.6, because the new graphics drivers have to be implemented correctly. The devs are working on it atm. If you want a compromise between these two, you can use android 4.0.4. It's smooth and games are running good at it. I would suggest you to try several roms and choose the one that fits you best

Go to this thread and download the odin-version of cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39508963
Flash it via odin as described in the thread. Then you can flash any rom via recovery and you don't have to root your phone anymore as it is done automatically.

But there are also many other roms like slimbean or paranoidandroid for our S+. Maybe one of them will suite you better.
