I have the 16GB Vodafone UK Galaxy S. Today I was in a city trying to use satnav and it was rank rotten. So I thought I'd see if an upgrade would do it. I was using the very first Froyo that Vodafone came out with - I upgraded to that and hadn't upgraded since. I did have it rooted and 1 click lag fix was on it.
I upgraded to Gingerbread just there, sadly I had to do a factory reset, however it's all working.
I have realised that if I am going to put a custom firmware on it then now is just the right time to do it.
Is there one out there that's stable, and an improvement over the Gingerbread I'm using? Particularly I'd like it to fix the lag (if that still needs fixed) and even better would be fixing GPS/Satnav.
Pinpong blockbuster rom - ticks all your boxes. Get faster fix from market.
Your gps will never be 100% satisfactory in the city, in fact it will probably always be poor - no matter what custom rom you use.

Have you think about CM7? Great Rom, works well on my phone, and add many new things.
Hi Mate, I tried many custom roms and finally settled for
(ROM)GingerCriskeloV77-9LS-CamHack- SIP + NoIncRing I9000/T/M JVP 2.3.4
Cheers
Well, I managed to get it on. Booting up is weird though, it looks for a long time as if the screen is broken, but eventually ti comes on to the Blockbuster lock screen and then everything is fine. It does seem faster - but I'll only really know when I get to one of those situations where I feel the phone is frustratingly slow.
Thanks very much Woolf!
Time allowing I'll give the other roms a shot, although this Blockbuster one does seem to be good enough for me.
Sadly my phone now reboots constantly. it seems to do it when the screen locks

Check you got the installation right for that rom, maybe you had to flash a jvp stock first or some similar omission?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Try flashing to a totally stock JVQ first (with repartition) once you've backed up, then if you don't like that, try a custom ROM. I don't think many JVQ custom ROMs are worth trying if you want a taste of custom ROMs. Better to try CM7 or MIUI for something fast and different.
As a side note, the best tip I've seen for fixing the dreadful GPS we have with the i9000 is to buy a Nexus S or just ANY other phone! Yes, some radios appear better than others, but nobody can prove anything and it's almost all subjective feedback. A drop in the ocean of improvement needed for satisfactory function. If you must use it, a bluetooth GPS receiver and 3rd party navigation app seem the best way to deal with it.
I've now stepped away from Blockbuster. Even doing the a perfect install it crashed often and repeatedly. I did try upgrading to the very latest and that crashed several times in the past hour. Part of the problem was the rom starts with a lockscreen that has a messaging unlock on it, but it isn't set to an app that comes with the rom, so it reboots every time. Sadly that wasn't the only problem, as I was still getting loads of reboots.
So that's out of the way.
I'm now a lot more comfortable using Odin so I'll be able to try other options. I'll try the other two suggested in this thread first of all.
Next to test is CM7.
Thanks for the help folks!
CM7 aborted. Instructions are incorrect, the file they say to download doesn't actually match the instructions so that's out. Plus it clearly states it's not suitable for day to day use... so I don't thnk the time in working out how to fix it is justified since it looks like it wouldn't be useful.
I'm going back to the original question in the thread, to say that I'm looking for something stable. I now think that a custom rom is not the way to go. However some modifications may well be.
Can anyone suggest some kind of lagfix/speedup that isn't a complete overhaul like CM7, Blockbuster etc, that is very stable and that'll make my phone faster?
Edit : Part of what I was doing to install Blockbuster was install Speedmod kernel. So I've gone and put that on, and used the clockwork mod to root it, and also convert to ext4. I think things are looking pretty fast so far. I'm not sure if there's a lagfix for this, but I'm quite comfortable just now footering around - unlike the complete rom I don't feel out of my depth. So I think I'll be ok for now.
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

Hallo,
I am sorry, to post it here, but I cannot post in the related forums below 10 posts.
So I had 4.1.5 and it was great. I flashed 4.2.3 now and it was great until after pretty much one day, when it becomes slow, had the same issues with 4.2.2 (becomes slow after a day until reboot or downgrade to 4.1.5) where I downgraded again, but it is not possible anymore without resetting the launcher3 due to some changes.
It will crash repeatedly.
Any help?
Kind regards

I've been using CM based Mackay ROM for a long time now, updating to every new version as they have been released, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing.
Also, you should have really posted in the Mackay ROM thread...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
@neox456! I am not sure I understand your problem fully. I have been using the same ROM since it came out for Kit Kat but never had a problem such as yours.
Could it be the no. of apps you have in your phone ? Or maybe because you aren't using low mem option (which was a feature of Kit Kat)?
It'd be good if you could explain your issues a bit briefly.

Did you install CM10.2 (stable) or CM11 before Mackay 4.2.3? This increases your partition giving you better performance and is recommended for KK roms. Try again with 3 wipes plus Format System first, then the CM11, 3 wipes and format again then the Mackay Rom. If you get into trouble, go back to GB 2.3.6 with ODIN like you did when you first rooted your phone and back up from there. Hope it works for you.
The difference was between 4.1.5 and 4.2.2/3. But I played around a little and the main difference was, that KSM was on with the later ones and not with 4.1.5 so I am pretty sure that slowed my device down after a while.
I'll try 4.2.3 without KSM now and see if it won't slow down.
I cannot answer on the official Mackay-Thread until I reached 10 posts!
neither can I yet...
Naaah, it did not really help...
But I guess it is the KitKat slow downs... it is not as horrible as 4.3, but still far from well usable.

Very strange.. I went all the way back to GB 2.3.6 then CM 10.2 (or 11) then SlimKat and it works really well with no FC or lags. (well maybe say max 2 second delay opening Whatsapp but I can live with that. Plus they all seem to have a 1 or 2 second delay when a call comes in for the screen to register.
Well... I am not sure... Maybe it is too many apps. At least they are not constanlty crashing like in JB4.3.
What about waking up the phone for you? Do you have a 2 seconds delay there, too? Well I sometimes have a more like 10-15 seconds delay. I press the power button and nothing happens and after a while you notice the phone is ready, because the LEDs are glowing and funnily you can already unlock it, although the screen does not show anything yet...
Well and sometimes it is only a few seconds...
I have always used CM or Mackay-CM... not sure, whether the other ROM will make such a big difference...
I had lags with CM in ICS so I went to Liquid smooth by aways .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223729
I like that one, no problems opening apps or answering phone call. Pkus he uses semaphore and the Nova Launcher which has a nice look and feel. Pluis customisable.
Then after to SlimKat, (after increasing partition using the CM11) which works pretty good. I will flash the mackay rom or the omni this weekend to see how it behaves in comparison.
I am down to CM9 (still Mackay) now and happy with it. :angel:
Some features got lost, but I am happy, because in general it is way more useable.
Hello,
recently my phone P880 ceases to function correctly. For example the problem with the gsm signal and 3G, someone still say me that I am inaccessible and he can not call me. When I try to call someone, the phone say SIM card disconnect, the signal is out and then after seconds again say reading sim card and then everything looks normal (this happen mostly when data are enabled, but sometimes also on wifi). Then in 70% calls (does not depend if incoming or outcoming) the mic does not work at all. I can hear anyone on the other side but he cannot hear me. When I hang up and call back everything works fine. And the last but not least the phone is really slow, sometimes I have to kill all apps if I want do something (write message, read email) or wait until the phone unfreeze (very annoying when I want to recieve call and I have to wait aprox 10-15 sec till the screen light up). In the phone there is almost nothing installed (just few apps which I really use), but still the RAM is always full at >80%.
I am curently running on stock 4.1.2 and decide to try something more lightweight to save battery and ram, but I have absolutely no idea which ROM is currently stable and working, so if you can recommend me some (I would prefer something on 4.4.x but it does not matter).
Thanks to everyone for response
Hello,
First Question: Which Baseband-Version is installed?
I can say that 4.4 is not as good as Stock.
Root, install CWM (Dont know if you had to open bootloader when only installing kernel and script?), install Titanium Backup or similar and remove the Bloatware! Then Install Iodak v9.5 and maybe Tegra4Binary and Phone is quick.

I am back on 4.1 stock just to test some things and after 10 hours on it i cant wait to get back to 4.4.x roms...I cant see any advantages of stock rom except visual ones (lg gui).U should write why is for you stock better i am curious.

Thank you for reply,
For the radio I include screenshot. The bootloader is unlocked, I did it about a 3/4 year ago but since this time I did not make any SW changes so now I am totally lost in the number of roms which are avable nowadays (last I was to change the system there was only bugged and not stable version).
E: For the GUI, it is not bad but when the homescreen (launcher) have to reboot everytime when I close (jump out) some apps there is something wrong.
E2: And also sometimes the light sensor does not work (I can move with the brigthness slider but nothing happen,I have to uncheck the automatic setting then I can change the brightness)
Did you try fleahing stock again via lg flesh tool ? Or.restoring backup if u have it ?

Because of the high battery drainage on use at CM. Stock has about 6 hours screen on.
There are quiet nice functions, like Quickmemo that i dont want to miss. (And better App compatibility sometimes... see "Whatsapp SIM")
The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too.
+ FM-Radio
I know that a phone with the newest security updates is nice, but when i flash CM i flash back in the next 1-3 days ...
But you can think otherwise over this!

If u manage to get 6 hours on screen time then u have 7000 mAh battery or you have some other phone since no one managed to get more then 4+ hours on this phone especialy on stock so this thing that you said is completly nonsence.There are apps that can replace quickmemo app on custom roms,iodak kernel is NOT working properly on stock rom (that is know fact evey iodak sayed it himself u can read it on iodak kernel thread) and for the last option u can use Spirit FM which is working great on CM-Liquid -Slim and all others custom roms.
P.S.Show us some proof for that 6 hours on screen time or your coment will be probably deleted by moderators since it is as i sad completly nonsence.
Will add Screenshot ASAP.
PS: Having no issues with Iodak 9.5 ... but 8 should work for everyone.
And here we go again. I want to call, signal lost, dial has been suspended, than I've got black screen with message "Reorganization of internal processes. Try it later". There is probably some problem with the firmware or something like that, I don't think it is HW problem. I will try some alternate ROM then I will write result.
EDIT: I try to find if someone have same problem and I found it on LG Optimus 3D:
Problems on Rogers Canada too. Both Rogers and LG deny any knoledge of the exsistance of this issue. I updated my phone in the middle of February, seemed ok for a week or so, then ghost calls and missed texts started happening. I have restored it and even reinstalled the firmware fresh a few times and the problem just keeps getting worse, in addition, I now have random loss of data connection, "reorganizing internal process" for 2-3 minutes wen I try to make an outgoing call and occasionaly my phone will ring and ring indeffenately when I miss a call even though I have voice mail, and I must restart my phone to stop the ringing. Thank you for running this story as I want everyone on earth to know I will never buy any LG product again due to there "deny the problem" approch to customer support, and I hope no one else does either. BTW, anyone want to buy a used LG Phone, TV, DVD Player, Sterio or Washer and Dryer? Next time I buy a different brand period.

My issues on 2.3.5
- Occasional missed text messages
- occasional missed calls
- long "reorganizing internal process" delays, can't make calls until it finishes.
- having to restart phone when phone when in 2G, loses signal then fails to regain 4G in known good area unless reboot
- longer camera loading times than previous 2.2

Stock kernel is good at keeping the phone cool, actually that's the only thing it is good at.Stock ROM + iodak kernel burns your phone, for real.Try it on CM11 and stock ROM, stock ROM heats it up a lot more.
Stock ROM is only good if you don't know how to customize a ROM properly.CM11 gives you the ability to have the control over your phone.In stock you can just change kernel, remove a few apps and just keep going on.
If you think 4.4 is worse, it's only cause you have no idea how to customize a ROM.
"The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too."
That's totally a lie.CM11 has less system requirements afterall.And LG is famous for making crap ROMs.For how many minutes have you used CM11? 1 or 2?

Remove bloatwares, services, whatever you want but stock ROM is full of bugs that you can face even from the first day.
If you want a phone with less bugs, install CM11.You don't expect us to fix an old ROM which is full of bugs, minor or major.
What? CM11 was daily driver in official and inofficial builds...
But i know, the most are in love with Cyanogen, what do you mean with customize?
Hello guys,
I've been testing all lolipop roms that had listed everything as working. Such as crDroid, CandyRom, SlimLP. On every of those lolipop roms pretty much most of the important stuff worked. There were stuff like equalizer not working or too dim notification LED, but from time to time I got touchscreen freezes. I mean I could use phone for a couple hours and then the touchscreen would freeze really often, sometimes it froze for couple of seconds and that was it and sometimes it could last for 10 minutes. This is really annoying and unacceptable if developer says that the touchscreen works.
I ended up contacting crDroid developer - davidteri81 and he said that the touchscreen works fine for him. I asked in the thread and I got only a single response saying he doesn't have this issue, but the sensivity is too high.
I've tried like literally 4 lolipop roms on my Z1 and each one of them had those touchscreen freezes. I even ended up flashing liquidsmooth in which I didn't had this issue, or it just didnt had the chance to happen since most stuff doesn't work there and it isn't usable as a daily driver so I quickly got rid of it.
My question here is:
Do you get touchscreen freezes? Please reply only after minimum 24h of usage. If you don't have any touchscreen freezes on lolipop rom on the Z1 then please, tell me what Lolipop rom do you use as I couldn't find any that wouldn't have a buggy touchscreen.
Please tell me if it works for you without issues or do you also have this issue on the Z1 as I'm puzzled because it couldn't be just me since I did a full phone wipe, flashed the phone clean, even wiping internal memory, but it still happens and I cant find a way to use any Lolipop rom everyday on my Z1. The more replies I get, the better.
@olokos: I'm on CM12 official and use it now for many days. In this time I never faced any touch freezes on my Z1.
I've got some other "bugs" that confused me a bit and make some manual fixes like Wi-Fi MAC. But for me I can say that this ROM is really stable and I use it as my daily driver.

Same for me, although, the touch screen did freeze once, but I locked it and unlocked it and it worked again. It's probably hardware since I got my Z1 replaced because of this issue that even happened on stock ROM occasionally.
using CandyRom 5.0.2
I never faced any touch freezes issue
@olokos: I'm on 20150214 and now I've got touchscreen freezes. This is the first time for me on Z1.
But I think that this could be a global Cm12 issue, because my Nexus 7 also get some freezes and I thought that something is wrong with my fingers or tempered glass.
The problem is how to debug this?
im on candy 5 and my screen dont freeze, but my screen percieves touches from nowhere... but only if i have earphone plugged in .. thats more than just annoying
anyone has the same prob?
sry for my really bad english
Touchscreen freezing issue definitely isn't hardware issue on custom roms. I haven't tried CM12 or any other apart from those listed on XDA, but I will propably build some lolipop rom from source by myself if I get enough reports that will be useful for me. If touchscreen works for you then please, tell me what rom you are using and for how long you use it, what't the way you flashed it.
I only need those 3 things. If touchscreen doesn't work just for me then I'll build my own stock based rom based on Sony sources. I just have to make sure that the touchscreen issue isn't just on my side.
All I need is:
Do you have touchscreen issues? Yes/no
What ROM/Kernel you are using? CandyRom 5.0
For how long? 5 weeks
Answer those 3 questions, legitimately and I'll consider that. I'm not sure If I'll have enough time to work on this, so please, be honest with your answers because I'm not going to fix the touchscreen, or maybe I will if it doesn't happen for everyone.
I experience dramatic touch screen freezes as well since the first time I installed Lollipop nightlies. (4 weeks now). Tried clearing cache, factory restores, de- and reinstalling apps. Reflash kernel, format SD, reinstalling gapps, puzzeling at logcat logs etc. Nothing helps. Random freezes from seconds till minutes. Only thing that 90% of the time will help is keep pressing powerbutton until screen becomes responsive. It happens more when I have a lot of (hangout or whatsapp) notifications, or when trying to type something (stock keyboard). Tried other keyboards: no luck. Tried every toggle: WiFi , Bluetooth etc. : no luck.
I experience dozens of freezes a day. Almost to the point that cm12 is completely unusable. Love this ROM, but this is a real showstopper.
1. No
2. AOSP Vanir 5.02
3. Since first availibility (12/14)
I experienced this issue on 2 roms in 2 forms
1. No (coming from Stock 14.4.A.0.108)
2. KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] / iHackers advanced Stock Kernel
3. Since installing the Rom
This was the first time i experienced touch-issues. Not a freeze of the screen, but the screen sometimes started registering touch-events on the wrong places. This was temporarly fixed by locking/unlocking the display.
1. Yes (coming from KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] )
2. crDroid-5.0.2-20150303-honami / 3.4.0-crDroid (packaged with rom)
3. Since installing the Rom a day ago
This time i get freezes. And they are much more frequent than those "ghost-inputs" from KitSlim_AMG. Unlocking the device also fixes it temporarly.
