Probably right.. installing cm7 is the best mod since waiting for gingerbread update from LG is totally slow.. hurmmm.. currently im using v10d, NeoBlaze kernel with PMC, Chainfire 3D (nvidia plugin).. got 36++ score at Quadrant.. bricked several times.. hehehe..
Guys.. heard anyone using Garmin-Asus A10 and already used any custom roms? Also do u know how to import certain software? Like to install Garmin inside O2X.
guys ill be receiving this phone next week im planning on installing right away CM7... any suggestion on what else should i install?... cause ive been reading about flashing CM7 plus other files (fixes) but dont now which ones , thanks!
Well, i never played CM7 that much.. like my previous post, what u should do is "trial & error" method.. whats important, u should backup the original ROM.. i already lost my original factory settings..

Hello everybody.
I installed 2.3.6 rom by af974 everything is great, fast, and smooth. no bugs in default browser or camera, or market, even the phone.
but I have one serious problem which is whenever I turn the bluetooth on the tab will restart immediately and continue a loop of restarts, after several attempts I managed to fastly turn the bluetooth off and it became stable again.
Btw, I was on overcome 7 and I directly update to the new rom from recovery, and I remained on overcome kernel 4.0.
now what can I do to get bt working again 'cause I always use mw600 headset with my tab. I tried to install the rom again, wiping cache and delvic cache but the problem still the same.
thanks in advance
Reboot into recovery
->storage menu->mount system->format system->mount again system-> reflash rom again
i don't have bt reboots here.

Thank for your kind reply AF974
By the way I already did what you told me, but I did it again, but the problem persists, do think the problem with bluetoothopp.apk, can you provide me with it so I can install it.
this rom is so great and I don't want to change it, please give me support.
thank you in advance.

I can give you that apk but it is not your problem, which kernel are you using?

I am using overcome kernel v.4, today I have more time and I will install your kernel.
as you mentioned its not the bluetooth apk because I replace it but no joy.
thanks and regards.

I will upload a new kernel tomorrow based on last JQ8 initramfs, maybe it will help with some BT and WIFI problems, honestly i didn't try with Overcome kernel when i tested my BT.

Thank you for the great ROM
yesterday I took the long safe way to eleminate all bugs, so I backed up my data and restock the tab and do a full wipe, then install your kernel, then install the rom(download it again from another link to be sure its ok)
now everything is super fast, no bugs, and now I don't need cpu tuner anymore.
thank you for your time answering my endless Qs??? but this is the last one, I promise.
I use touchwiz, how can I install the program monitor widget only, I don't need the rest of apps. sorry but I am new to android.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'm glad that you solved the problem
You can use adb or either copy the apk to you sd card and with a root file explorer copy it to system/app.
With adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk system/app

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
download ICS rom ( i suggest this one )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687727
install it via recovery
if you want to upgrade to JB
go to development section , chose any custom rom you want
and install via recovery
push thanks :good: if i helped you

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.
Sent from my GT-P7510
Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
Hi everyone
So I've installed JellyBlur v7.0 custom rom on my x8 and I've got a very strange problem. Any apps which i start it exits automatically in about 20-30 seconds. It is very annoying. I can't even enter in setting because it closing without any info. I don't know why it is happening so i writing to You. I appreciate every reply. If some more info is needed, just ask and i post it here
Thanks
PS: What I've already done is full wipe/factory reset, clearing cache and dalvik cache, installing rom once again but it didn't do anything.
PS2: I've got this problem only on this rom, on any other it is OK
Update
Bump
Can anyone help me? I can't do anything 'cause it backs me to previous app or to launcher desktop.
Thanks
If you are having this problem specifically in this rom, use another rom, simple

Thanks for the best answer in the world
But I want to use this rom because on the other X8 is so laggy. I thought that someone has found a solution but for this problem other than "change rom, simple"
Try using swap

If you're on the latest stock ANA2 firmware there's a bug with the app drawer and you can't move icons by dragging them. You need to activate motion.
P.S. the issue is in the kernel
