[Q] Your favourite Kernel for CM 10.1 stable?

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.

[Q] Which post-gingerbread N1 rom is the least buggy? [ANSWERED]

I cant run Gingerbread (GB) because many apps I use do not support such an old Android version.
So it must be between Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), Jellybean (JB), and Kitkat (KK).
I've tried a few roms and cannot find the buglessness I seek:
[ROM] [4.1.2] [Mar 18 2013] Slim VJ Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v1.0 for N1
VJ's previous non-slim JB rom
Evervolv's Kitkat
j00m's Kitkat
MIUI.us's unofficial JB port v2.12.28 (considerably worse than the official GB MIUI rom)
reider123's CM10 rom
tommypacker's pixeldroid AOKP kitkat
tommypacker's CM10.1.3 Android 4.2.2 v2.7
parkedraccoon's CM11
Evervolv ICS
All of them contain frustrating bugs. So the search continues to find the most workingest post-gingerbread rom.
Together, I'm sure we can find it! Who's got a lead?
And the winner is...
j00m's kitkat!
I'm using it on a 198/3/235 hboot (system is only 191mb)
one of the only roms besides official Evervolv that has trackball wake toggle (no more pocket wake-ups!)
on my recommendation, j00m replaced the /system/app/Torch.apk with one that stays on after screen turns off.
Tip: enable lock screen widgets in Security settings, and put the torch widget on the lock screen for quick access.
j00m fixed WiFi tethering (w/security set to None only)
i replaced the slow buggy stock kitkat browser with UCbrowser (it's even faster than dolphin)
i turned off the clunky window animations in Developer Options for a snappier experience
i installed the app Videocam Illusion to enable video recording
this is as bug free as it gets. Daily driver ready.

CM-11?

Hmm, the only decent post-gingerbread ROM I found was Evervolv/J00m's KitKat. It works fine for me, but others haven't had such luck...Evervolv JellyBean (3.2.0 I believe?) was the best alternative, I can't remember what problem caused me to switch back to CM7. I think (if my memory serves me correctly) that one time it was the home button that wouldn't work, but the second time around it worked, I think it had something to do with running out of space, perhaps due to the GAPPS? Anyhow, you might give it a try and see if it works for you. Maybe try to flash the core GAPPS and get the play store to install your stuff instead of the full GAPPS which is way bigger.

I have the same problem with a 4.4 evevolv, the phone restarts constantly and gives me process.media was interrupted.

Maybe I should give Kitkat another try... I remember having a delay to answer the phone on Kitkat... one time I kept waiting for the screen to turn on while it was ringing and ringing, and eventually i missed the call cuz there was no way to answer it.

Actually, the solution isn't as easy to find as I remember. What worked for me was to clear data of media storage: Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage. Others have reported that they had to clear data of Contacts and Contacts Storage located in the same place.

I can not even get there, and it freezes before it restarts.
That recovery is to be used with black roses to install the 4.4?
Because the CM11 at the time of the flash failed?

You've tried the Evolv 4.4 kitkat, continually reboots and tells me that android.process.media was interrupted.
Now I installed the 11 cm, everything ok, except that the gapps did not install, and when I open mount2sd asks me to install a script, do the procedure but do not install and I get this error: Failed to reboot the device into recovery because the limitation of the rail toolbox

The 31-12-13 built is not useful at all. Its the worst. Try CM 11 an wait a few days for a update.

so the problem is the rom, gapps or are incompatible? if I wanted to put the Evolv, I have to change the hboot with blackrose? how do you?

@PhilipTD, yep, I think that's the one: [ROM] [DEV] [ICS 4.0.4] *7/1* Evervolv's Aosp TexasIce Cream Sandwich
hboot 220/10/206
I found a working download link to the final version of Evervolv's ICS rom (Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0-Final-passion.zip): http://evervolv.codefi.re/builds/release/Perdo/
And its corresponding gapps: http://d-h.st/AxV

I tested Evervolv's ICS and immediately found 2 bugs that have been haunting me:
Cant play videos embedded in webpages.
Pressing the trackball to take a photo always requires 2 presses for the first photo.
So I gave the latest j00m's Kitkat another try, and while it's not bugless...
it seems to be the ONLY post-gingerbread rom that can play videos embedded in webpages.
Still has the camera-trackball bug. (is this bug present only in evervolv-based roms?)
Videocam illusion app works on EVERY rom for video recording.
Kitkat at least has the potential of fixing bugs as it is currently receiving very frequent updates.
So I think j00m's Kitkat is the way to go.

j00m's KitKat is really good. The only reason I switched to Evervolv's was because I wanted to try out ART on my device and that setting had been removed from the j00m's nightly...but ART doesn't work on my phone so they're both good for me. I might go back to j00m at some point since it is simpler to flash (don't need to flash GAPPS on top!) - plus it has a boot animation that has a clear start so I know whether my phone is in a bootloop or simply taking forever to load.

Additionally, j00m's rom is slimmed down to only 211MB system which means it should work perfectly on the ICS hboot - 220/10/206 saving lots of space!
The stock kitkat web browser is barely usable. Chrome browser is even worse. Thankfully, the Dolphin Browser works really well!

I've generally felt VJ's v6.0 4.2.2 was the slickest version of JB that I've used till date on my N1.
I've used PixelDroid, Carbon, PACMan, ParanoidAndoid and Evervolv. But while these ROMs are customizable and have different features, VJ's ROM had the perfect (imho) blend of CM and Vanilla Android which was right for me.
Video recording and Tethering won't work but the rest of the features are pretty cool. As far as KK ROMs are concerned, they are still not as smooth nor as stable as the JBs yet. I've only started playing around with @parkedraccoon's CM 11 and @texasice's 4.4. I expect better updates to follow.

stable ROMs? for i9305

SHORT VERSION: is there any stable rom for the i9305 that can also run banking apps that look at if your rooted? Or just a stable rom for i9305!? Or even a stock rom that has no bloat-ware (for i9305 of course and in uk)?
LONG:
So I started out a journey looking for a good stable rom and of course cyanogen caught my eye but I unfortunately swapped to a 4g service and swapped my phone right before embarking on this journey to a i9305 - crap!
I thought wow great 4g and 2gig ram it'll be perfect with cyanogen 11 so I waited and no M build for i9305 all year long argh! So I gave up and tried a nightly cyanogen 11 and it was buggy as hell. So gave up on that after a few weeks and trying different updates moved to carbon - again only nightly available even more bugs maybe I was just unlucky in timing but on to cyanogen 10.1 I was going backwards now not the most fun but it still has a few bugs but is way more stable and I loved the speed and camera was great but still it feels a bit old and I still prefer stock . So I am thinking now I either give up n get stock or go on to yet another one but im not confident now ...thanks!

i also like stock ROM...until now didn't found one which will have wi-fi working with stock kernel...so i will give it a try to rXTREME.JB.4.3-V5.1.1 with a custom kernel and see how it works...

Hmm yes too many bugs in all the custom roms on this device wish I could try a cyanogen M build ...

if you want to install rXTREME you MUST make a full wipe....in instruction it says it is recommended....but in reality is a MUST...all kind of bugs...and freezes...just opened screen and tried to unlock it...light effect...instant freeze...had to reboot...
i also wanted a stable CM11....not with huge battery drain...and other force closes....

hi men ,
i used the slimKat rom on my gti9305 and it's the perfection for that

Try Pacman RC1 everything is working very very less Force closes though but I have flashed paranoid ROM gapps and Google play app is not connecting :/
Very less it works

Few CM 11 questions
Hello, I've used my Galaxy Mini for more than 4 years, but I hadn't known, that it could run also another OS than the default one pre-installed by Samsung. But suddenly, I've found CM and this forum about it. I've made some research, but because I'm beginner with CM, I have few questions:
1. In the description on the thread for the CM 11 for Galaxy Mini there is written, that the development is currently in the testing/alpha2 state. There is also a wishlist of missing features. But the there is also written, that the last update was in January, 2014. If I compare it to Androidarmv6 download archive and its GitHub repository, is seems there already are newer versions out. My first question is, if the most recent version of CM 11 for Galaxy Mini is more stable than that 1 year old alpha2 release? Which missing features from that wishlist have been already resolved?
2. And if the CM 11 version is not stable enough for everyday use, which older (but still based on Android 4.x) and more stable CM version would you recommend me to use instead (if any - otherwise I'll install official CM 7.2)?
3. I noticed, that there is already the official alpha release of CM 12 (based on Android 5.x) and also ported as a new branch on GitHub. I also know, that Android 5.x is really hardware-demanding. Will it be still possible to run CM 12 on Galaxy Mini phone? And what about CM 11 or 10? Could you recommend me the most stable and the newest one (see 2nd question), but still working on so low-performance device as Galaxy Mini in default is (384 MB RAM, 600 MHz, ...)? And if not, could you recommend me some web article describing how to make the performance of my phone better in order to run that recommended CM version from my previous two questions (if it is possible somehow)?
4. And finally, I want to ask, if I need to root my device before installation of that recommended CM version. Because in the installation manual from the original Samsung firmware to the official CM 7.2 there is no need to root Galaxy Mini during process and in the installation manual from CM 7.2 to CM 11 too. But in the installation manual from the original Samsung firmware directly to the CM 11 there is rooted phone needed. I don't understand, why I don't need rooted phone for indirect installation, but for direct installation I do. Could you clarify me the installation process?
I hope somebody experienced helps the beginner there (but good programmer and advanced Linux user) with the installation of CM by answering these a little bit complicated questions

Are you sure your device is galaxy mini/pop s5570? There is no "i" at end? If both yes, then go ahead and read my answers.
Answers:
1. The op(member of androidarmv6 group) isn't active. Thats why the thread says alpha. But you can download and install latest tass(galaxy mini) version from androidarmv6 jenkins. And about feature list, everything is fixed from that list, but camera is colorless(black and white type pics). You need tls enabled recovery to flash latest cm11.
2. Cm11 is stable enough for daily usage. But cm11 is resource hungry. I would recommend you to try cm11 and make your own decision about it. Every android version <= 4.2.2 are fully stable and everything works. I use aokp 4.1.2 myself. 4.2.2 is a bit heavy but if you don't use too many apps, you could use it without any problems. Cm9, ics aosp, cm10,slimbean,aokp jb4.1.2 roms are most efficient 4.x roms and less resource hungry. For better results and good performance, you may need to install greenify. See my threads for 4.x roms.
3. Cm12 isn't booting yet. You can follow review.androidarmv6.org for latest changes and progress. Better use aokp 4.1.2 or slimbean or cm10 with greenify and int2ext(to expand internal memory, you need to create 512mb ext4 partition on sdcard).
4. It is not that hard to flash a simple zip. There is a thread here in galaxy mini section which describes how to root galaxy mini. Follow that tutorial. Then flash cwm 5.0.2.8 recovery(search in and download from galaxy mini section) it from stock rom recovery.
Then you are ready to install any galaxy mini roms.
Caution: Don't flash any zips outside galaxy mini section. Our device board name is "tass". So, you'll see tass in filenames and they are for galaxy mini/pop s5570. If you flash wrong zips, you'll end up with bricked phones(a paper weight). So, be careful. Have a happy flashing.

It looks like this is a global problem. Is this problem only in CM 11 at the moment and group members only aren't active to cross the camera out from the "Don't work" list on threads for roms, which were resolved? Or is it still global problem? In which roms camera fully work without any caveat? You wrote, that everything in Galaxy Mini section <=4.2.2 is fully stable, so I expect it works there, but better to ask...

Sure! Just S5570 without "i" and just Tass! I know it is older mobile phone, but still I don't want little unusable brick
Is jenkins the download.androidarmv6.com site? Or jenkins.androidarmv6.com? But on the second site I don't see download link, even if I login with my GitHub account. And what is tls enabled recovery? Does it mean using CWM recovery? Or am I wrong?
I'll try and I'll see
So I need to root my phone before. I wasn't sure, but now I understand clearly.
Thank you for your answers to my questions! Actually many thanks!
And finally one more question:

Camera in cm11 actually works but it uses source built libcamera, not the original samsung libcamera. And it gives a very colorless pics. No, androidarmv6 people are very nice. Just they are busy. And we don't have a skillful developer left.
And yes, every version <= 4.2.2 has got everything working as it should. But the video recording isn't good sometimes(only sometimes, it is not good anyways).
I would recommend you to try my aokp 4.1.2. Partition your sd card, install cronmod int2ext to expand ur internal memory (int2ext only not int2ext+). And install xposed installer + greenify, greenify not so important and ram consuming apps. That's my setup actually.

I haven't time before, so today I managed to install a new ROM to my Mini six months after I wrote here. First of all I spent hours of googling and searching, where to download working package to root my phone and where to download cwm 5.0.2.8 for Mini, because all of the packages for rooting haven't been working at all and all of the download links to cwm 5.0.2.8 I've found were dead, except the links and except the packages here. Googling and searching finally helped, so I had my first cwm on my Mini. Then I've checked first three ROMs from the Mini's section. Concretely CM 10, SB 3.1.0 and AOKP JB 4.1.2.
First of all I've tried Slimbean. I was really confused, when I found out, that there is no keyboard inside the installation! What the h*** (sorry, but I really said that when at that moment)? One of my reasons to leave original Gingerbread was that really bad keyboard, which I need to reinstall by some from Google Play every time I had to reset my phone into factory settings (another reason to upgrade btw). And after upgrade again? But Slimbean looked really well, just a few strings weren't translated to my language, so I decided to try AOKP. AOKP hadn't just keyboard, but also gapps, so I needed to google, where to download it from. I've found this and hoped it can't break my newly installed ROM. And there were more strings untranslated to my language, so I decided to try the third one, CM. It was fully translated, but also there weren't gapps and keyboard. And the patch (if it was a patch) - tether patches.zip - couldn't be applied (some error was thrown during its installation).
Finally, I've found gapps for it too. The winner of these three was Slimbean, the loser was AOKP, but I'm going to test more ROMs, until I find some good one. In order to avoid searching the Mini's section another hours: Is there any ROM with preinstalled keyboard (and possibly gapps too)?

I've removed keyboard and gapps intensionally. I use this keyboard. If you really want jb keyboard i'll provide you later(is not better than gb keyboard though). Yourzgapps are best. Google search yourzgapps.

I used this one. Its dev developed JB keyboard too, but it wasn't compatible with GB anymore. Is there any package for this or JB one or I need to install them from Google Play?
I found out that AOKP just needed to restart to be fully translated, so it is a little bit ok than CM (but SB still wins).
I'd like to try some 4.0 ROMs and some 4.2 ROMs (just to try, like yesterday). I saw here some threads about english only ROMs. I'll try them and maybe find my favourite. Is there any chance to build my language version after that? I know there is big red notification This is english only! (You have been warned...!). I don't want to waste your time for so minor things. Feel free to reject my potential request at the beginning.

You can add your language translations to apks inside the rom. ics,jb keyboards won't work on gb. There is a cm10.1 version from androidarmv6 team, try it. It has all languages. To build only your language, then you need to sync sources and modify build files to get your language.

Thank you, I'll search the CM 10.1 from androidarmv6 team and try it. The keyboard looks like ICS, but worked fine in factory firmware GB. I think it could work in this CM 10.1 too. If I install it from Google Play to the CM 10.1 ROM, it will work, or not? But I don't know, how to change the apk into the zip, that can be installed from cwm.
Thank you for your all help. Six months ago I thought it will be so complicated, but it is easy if one follows the rules not to make a bricked phone.
Edit: I tried this and it is totally awesome. The best I've tried. I'll test it for a longer period. My favourite keyboard is inside, first time in my Mini's life I don't have to reinstall that bad original GB keyboard. I just hope it won't be so battery and RAM consuming (I'll test it). I ask here if I have some question or problem in the future. Last time huge thanks (in words and in thank buttons too)

I tried it, the performance is better, but there is a huge problem. I install it in this way:
boot into cwm 5.0.2.8 >
wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats >
flash cm10.1 you suggested >
flash yourzgapps >
flash int2ext >
fotmat sd-ext >
reboot
After reboot cm10.1 boots and at the beginning works like a charm. Int2ext works as expected, 1/5 from memory used. But after 2-3 minutes int2ext stops working and I have full memory. Reboot or int2ext reinstallation don't work. Why? How could I fix it?

Don't format sd-ext after flashing int2ext. One factory reset is enough.
Try this way:
1. Goto recovery and make factory reset/wipe.
2. Flash rom and reboot system(let it boot first).
3. Again goto recovery, mount all partitions and flash int2ext.
4. You can also flash gapps now. Reboot system now, and start your setup.

I had formatted sd-ext, because it is written in int2ext installation steps. Finally I tried your suggestion and everything works. I just flashed gapps right after flashing OS, because I want Google's first boot guide. I'm so happy everything works like a charm on that older, but good Mini. I'm also happy I got rid of that buggy GB. Once more thanks.

Memory leak?
First of all thank you very much to everybody who has been taking apart of developping this rom. It works generally really well. However my SGS has developped some sort of memory leak. During usage it starts litle by litle to loose amount of available memory and at the same time the amount of preloaded apps to memory is also shrinking(according to settings). Eventually available memory goes under 50Mb and phone slows down to unusable. Restart fixes the problem. Sotimes it works days or even a week sometime less.
This same problem aready existed with he origial rom(2.2.1). Eaven after a factory reset it only worked well a couple of hours. Updated with odin to 2.3.6 but touchwiz launcher was freesing all the time. Installed CM11 trough CM9 and formatted system and wiped caches before C11 . Everyting seems to work well but the original problem still remains. Although it now works much longer than with the original rom.
Hardware problem? Some app causing this(only apps running all the time is whatsapp and smooth calendar(according to settings))? Time to buy a new phone?

viber
my viber dont work after install gapps
how i can fix this problem ?

getting status 0 error
hi,
i have sgs 1 i9000 international version
after flashing from stock kernel/rom android 2.3.6 to Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0 for root, i've got cm 9 (cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip) with Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0. if i try to go higher cm 10-10.2 or cm 11 i get error status 0 after tyring to install from sd card the zip. tried redownloading the zip. using different version from cm site.
still using semaphore kernel with cwm tried all versions installed with odin for JB for cm10 and KK for cm 11. still i get status 0 at install.
done the wipe cache dalvik and factory reset every time before install.
usually to escape the bootloop and reboot i flash the Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0 again as my rom remains unchanged(hopefully ) after the failed installs. isn't my device compatible with cm10-11. do i need another kernel/cwm version?

So now when you have CM9, you should flash CM10.2. It is normal that it first warns, as system partition will be enlarged.
So in fact you must flash it three times and reboot. First time it will only warn of data lost due to upcoming repartition. Second time it will only update recovery to CWM 6.0.4.5. Third time it will flash ROM and after that you must reboot the device.
After being booted into the OS once, you can install CM11. Recovery versions older than CWM 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.3.1 can not flash KitKat.

You are in totally wrong thread here, this is for Samsung phone i9000, Galaxy S, first version.
Find threads for your Tab, they have there also much nicer ROMs than Cyanogenmod.

cm12 ????

Hello guys! This is my first post here. I couldnt read all 300+ pages thats why i wanted to ask you. I read only positive comments about this rom but I can not se anyone having Bettery drain problem. I installed the ROM 2 days ago and the battery is just draining so fast. For example yesterday I took my phone off the charger at 11:00am and until 04:00pm it had 15 percent battery remaining with only little using and browsing the web for like 5-10 minutes. I can't be the only one having this problem. In the settings I see the Google play services, android system and display are having the best percentage. Please give me some answer or solution to this. I cant use my phone for just few hours a day.

Problem with virginmobile after cm11 install
My apn is set to ee carrier, instead of virginmobile and my carrier shows as orange - uk carriers btw. I know vm piggyback on ee network but when I search for carriers hardly any show up. Is this a known problem and is there a fix (modem flash or other).

Is the nightly 11 version smoother when compared to the stable 10.2.1? What are the main bugs, if any?

Is there any way to make art runtime to work? I'm using the latest nightly but it stucks in bootloop each time i select art

Problem with touch-input
I have a question concerning a bug I am experiencing. Often I am not able to make any touch-command on the right wing of the screen, about 1cm, this is especially annoying when it happens during typing. I did not experience the same bug on the original firmware, I believe. The occurence is not bound to any special app, it even happens on the Home screen.
Is this a known bug and is anyone experiencing the same? Any suggestions what causes this?

Is there a way to increase the RAM and speed up the phone?
So I installed this ROM (11-20311118-UNOFFICIAL-galaxysmtd which is one of the older versions of CyanogenMod 11) on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000, but I encountered a few issues:
- I occasionally lose the Wi-Fi connection, and although it does reconnect itself in a short time, there is a problem with some online games — when the connection is lost, the game is lost which really bothers me.
- Some of the apps that seek a lot RAM memory to be used are really slow-running, like for example Snapchat — the back camera can barely be used and the snaps need much time to open.
- The screen can be unlocked without having to slide, that can be done by only pressing the button on the left side of the home button, which is probably a minor issue.
- Sometimes the phone just bricks when I get a call and I can't answer it, which is one of the major issues.
So, I wanna know if there is a way to fix these issues and maybe a way to increase my RAM memory or get Snapchat to work smoothly. Also, I wanted to ask if some of the newer versions of CyanogenMod 11 (KitKat 4.4) or any other ROM, like Jelly Bean 4.3 or the SlimCat ROMs, can fix any of the mentioned issues. What is the best ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S i9000?
Thanks in advance!

OK, mate.... you seem to be nice fellow, so I will try to help, answers in order of your questions:
if you have dirty flashed CM11 build (over older version without formatting /data and /system): did you try pawitp's reset of wifi settings from the bottom of the OP in CM11 thread? Otherwise also changing wifi region might help (settings/wifi/advanced)
the i9000 has indeed only total 512 MB memory, of which some 364 MB can be used normally. Well, you can increase these by flashing in recovery mode zips of Semaphore kernel for KK (3.4.3) and right after that BigMem libs for KK from Mackay KK ROM Thread. Then enable in the app "Semaphore Manager" (Play Store) BigMem option, reboot, and you will have by default 407 MB memory.
I fail to understand your last question: do you mean that the phone freezes, reboots, or "brick"? Bricking would mean that your OS fails and you have to flash ROM again or restore backup??

Good morning guys.
I use Mia ROM rooted fw 2.2.1 on my Galaxy SL i9003.
Can i flash directly this ROM on my device to update it or there are other best light ROM for my device?
Thank you
