For those STILL having GPS problems after trying to fix, go to bottom of post!! Included is a pic of a lock I was getting indoors with 17ft. accuracy.
So i've seen alot of people asking questions constantly about installing CM7, what is required to do so, and how to install all the fixes and different kernels. I'm hoping that by putting this thread up it will help anyone with questions so it will make installation and modification a breeze.
So first... You're going to need to pick up the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 7.
Here is the link to the thread on our forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061889
and here is a direct link to download the latest nightly:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=vibrantmtd
Currently the latest nightly is #69. (if you are curious to know what is changed in each nightly here is a link to the changelog: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd )
Copy the file to your internal sd card, then reboot into CWM. (If you don't have ClockworkMod installed, go to the market and download ROM Manager, then once installed open the program and install ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant MTD.
Once in CWM, just flash the zip file as you normally would anything else (go to Install ZIP from sd card, then choose ZIP and find the file, then hit yes to update)
Once done you should have successfully installed CM7, reboot and wait for the phone to load up.
At this point the install is done, and you can enjoy CM7, but unfortunatly your GPS won't work and battery life will be horrible... so now you must install the fixes.
First, download the Kernel. You can use either Bali-X found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181167
or Glitch, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
For The Glitch Kernel there are 3 different versions. LL, ML, or HL. To be on the safe side HL is usually the most stable for people.
Download whichever kernel you please and also copy that to your phones internal sd card.
Next download the Kernel Cleaning Script, direct link to download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=628968&d=1308402560
Now after you've downloaded the kernel you wanted and the cleaning script, your also going to want the GPS fix, direct link to thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172428
First lets fix the GPS before applying the kernel, here is a quick step by step:
GPS Fix! Update 7/30
Download the GPSFIX2.ZIP file and GPSD.ZIP file located at the bottom of my post (Make sure you unzip the file) and copy it to your SD card
2)Download a root file explorer like Root Explorer (not free) or ES File Explorer (free) in the market. If you use ES File explorer you must do the following to be able to change the system files:
FOR THOSE USING ES FILE EXPLORER
Open up ES File Explorer, in there hit your Menu key, then go to Settings.
Scroll down to till you see "Root Settings".
Under there you will see Root Explorer and Mount File System, check both of them, then hit the back button.
4)Once in the file manager, go to your root directory then go here: (if you know how to use file explorer or ADB you can simply copy the files to the corresponding locations and restart the phone if not keep following)
Go to the GPSFix2 folder on your SD card, then go to /data/gps/ and copy secgps file
Now go to to your phones root directory, and go to /data/gps and paste the secgps file in there
5)Now there are two other files to copy:
Go to the GPSFIX2 folder, then go to /system/bin/ and copy the AGPSD file
Go to the phones root directory and go to /system/bin/ and paste the AGPSD file in that directory
Lastly, go back to the GPSFIX2 folder, and go into /system/etc/ and copy the GPS file
Go to the phones root directory again, and go to /system/etc/ and paste the GPS file in there!
6)Now we need to copy the file from GPSD.ZIP (Make sure to unzip the file!!)
Copy the file from the GPSD folder, into: \system\vendor\bin\ the same way you did the other GPS Fix files.
7)Download AngryGPS file located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=657133&d=1310879457
8) Install ANGRYGPS.APK, once installed go to your apps and open up AngryGPS. Go to:
Settings - General Settings - Change Operation Mode from MSBASED to STANDALONE. Once done, hit the home key.
As long as you've copied all the files, restart your phone and try things out!
Now your GPS should be working, but we still need to install the new kernel. Hopefully you've downloaded one of the two kernels listed above and copied them to your internal zip folder.
Finally, lets apply the kernel. Hold your power key and hit reboot phone, then a menu will appear, to either reboot or recovery, hit recovery (duh!).
Once in recovery you are going to want to apply the Kernel Cleaner script first. Go to apply update from zip, then choose zip file, then choose the kernel cleaner script... Once you've done that, go to choose zip again, and choose your kernel. DO NOT REBOOT INBETWEEN THIS PROCESS!!!!!
Let the kernel install, once done go ahead and reboot the phone.
If all went well within about 5 minutes your phone should be up and running again.
The last thing your going to need to do is install GAPPS, since CM7 obviously comes with none. You'll notice you have no market.
Here is the latest GAPPS, The zip is a flashable file through ClockWorkMod. Just go into clockwork, and find zip and install it like you did the rom and kernel. Reboot and you will have your market and GApps back.
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERVOLTING
You have to follow the instructions for either Glitch or Bali kernel here. SetCPU will NOT work for Glitch, and Voltage Control will NOT work for Bali.
OPTIONAL FOR GLITCH KERNEL (Bali below)
If you want to adjust CPU Voltage AND/OR Clock Frequency you are going to need to download VOLTAGE CONTROL from the Market. It is free as well. Make sure you use Voltage Control. Other cpu programs have been reported to have problems from what i've read.
If you are not sure what you are doing, then ask!
Here is my voltage control settings, this seems to be the best for stability:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975
200: 950mv -75mv = 875
100: 950mv -100mv = 850
OPTIONAL FOR BALI KERNEL
You must install SetCPU, which is available from the market, but is not free.
You can also download it here directly from for FREE, copy it to your SD Card and install the apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=648354&d=1310073004
I'm not sure of good overclocking/undervolt settings on the Bali kernel as I haven't fooled around with it more than to know that it works well with CM7.
**If someone has fooled with it please post up some results so I may put them here for recommendations.**
KNOWN ISSUES
Currently the Glitch V11 has a bug where the keyboard can pop up on random occasions. This will be fixed in V12. It's not a big deal.
Replacement Camera
In my post i've includedthe MIUI Camera APK.
You can just copy the MIUICamera.apk file to your SD card and install it. You will be able to use both the MIUI camera and the stock camera. The only problem is the video recorder of the MIUI camera doesn't record 720p. For that switch to the AOSP camera.
Hopefully taking some time to write this up can help alot of you follow a straight set of instructions instead of having to bounce around and look from topic to topic on what to do.
I'll continue to check on this thread and make sure if anyone has any questions I will try to help and answer them.

Thanks,i did flash Glitch HL kernel,and latest nightly,but i have some questions,can i do gps fix later(after flashing kernel),and i found that my cpu`s max is still set on 1000Mhz,like in stock cm7 stock kernel,so is it necessary to change it(for example to 1200Mhz)for better battery life?
And again thanks a lot for posting this,you hepled me greatly and spared a lot of time in searching.

You can do the GPS fix whenever you please. Just remember that everytime you flash a new nightly of CM7 you're going to have to apply the GPSD file again... Everytime you flash a new nightly it wipes all the old system data, GPSD is unfortunatly one of the casualties.
What program are you using for adjust your CPU frequency? You should be using this:
-Voltage Control : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731
If you want to gain more battery life you shouldn't be increasing to 1.2GHz, that will not help your battery life any.
If anything leave it at the stock 1GHz frequency and apply undervolt to the processor... of course you will have to do some testing because undervolting can cause stability and lockup/reboots.
Here are my undervolt settings, so far no locks-up on this combo for about a week now:
Here are my settings in Voltage Control
1300: 1400mv -0mv = 1400mv
1200: 1350mv -0mv = 1350mv
1000: 1250mv -25mv = 1225mv
800: 1200mv -50mv = 1150mv
400: 1050mv -75mv = 975mv
200: 950mv -75mv = 875mv
100: 950mv -100mv = 850mv
Im running High Leak, using this daily at 1300mhz no problems yet... Running a good movie on your phone, like an mkv file will really let you know if your settings are stable.. I've found undervolting anything over the stock freq. doesn't seem to be stable.
Does this help you any??
if i flash a custom kernel, bali for example, i need to do something else to flash a new version of cm7?
thanks
No, you can install a kernel on whatever nightly of CM7 you want. It's just best to have the latest nightly. I do remember hearing some of the earlier nightlys of CM7 like lower 30's were having trouble with different kernels...
Just remember that if you flash a new nightly you will have to fix the GPS and Kernel again though.
Everytime you update to a new nightly it deletes everything unfortunatly.

ok! thanks for the fast reply
thanks for doing this!
quick question, when I try deleting the old GPSD file in order to move the new one it says I can not delete the file, then when I try to overwrite it, ES file explorer says I can not move the GPSD file. How exactly am I supposed to replace the old file with the new? I already have angry GPS installed and I also have installed the bali kernel. I've heard good things about bali and battery life so Im hoping it helps out, cause I've always had bad experience with battery life unless I shut off data. Any suggestions for good settings to use for bali?

I'm going to update my first post as well, but here is what you must do.
Open up ES File Explorer, in there hit your Menu key, then go to Settings.
Scroll down to till you see "Root Settings".
Under there you will see Root Explorer and Mount File System, check both of them.
Now you can go ahead and write to the system files... Before they were read only which was why you couldn't touch them.

awesome guide!
You should add the permissions to GPSD file to the guide. It does't work with the default permissions.
already did lol. I'm updating as I go. Just put up latest GAPPS also.

You welcome! No, it is either one or the other. Many people swear by the Voodoo lag fix, but if you forget to disable it you will end up having to go through a lot to reverse it. (Personal Experience )

OK,got it. Thanks
I use Bionix's rom with voodoo kernel(thanks for his great work), but when i enabled voodoo it says '/dev/block/mmcblk0p3' in adb shell instead of '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4' in his thread. I don't know why but it will be all right to flash another Rom. I also searched on google, but thers's no help about it.
Hope this can help someone who were in this situation..
PS: When disabled ,it says '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2' corretly.
It should always say "0p3", you were looking in the wrong spot. It confused me at first too.
Thanks for the Great Work!!!!!!

I didn't have enough room in the ROM Zip to include the data package and still be able to use MediaFire's free 200mb account. I have updated the OP with the instructions on how to get and install the data package.
If anyone knows of a different file sharing site that is as easy for people to download from please let me know and I will upload the ROM with the data package included. (232mb).
I know this isn't a BIG deal. But you added the thing for the Sims 3. When i click on it to download it. I get this message. *There is a problem parsing the package.* Uhh, Is it my fault and didn't do something or what??

I have updated the OP to include instructions for getting the Sims to work. Basically the issue arises from the Sims 3 Stub file being locked to my handset. When it is installed on anyone else's handset it will error out due to the device ID mismatch. The way around this is to install the data package yourself. All of the instructions to do so are in the OP now.

No screenshot needed. This ROM uses the default LG homescreen.
This is just a stripped down original ROM, with few tweaks. I like it that way
I know this is old, but thanks Apparently, this and void are the only light ROMs that don't come with Darktremor's apps2sd. I dont like putting everything in the SD card
My ROMs will never have app2sd included.
I'm using a newer version, with Zeam instead of LG launcher. But i don't know if i can use Zeam in my ROMs without having issues with the author of the app... So i didn't upload it.
Anyway my laptop is broken, so i don't have a computer to use. When i earn enough money and buy a new one, i'll upload another ROM with a new look.
Why do you say this is old?
EDIT:
I managed to boot my phone with only five apps, but of course it wouldn't do anything...
I could remove more apps and make it lighter, but this is the minimum stuff needed to have full functionality without FCs somewhere. If i started to remove more stuff, i would lose basic apps, or make FC.
I also didn't enable hardware acceleration by default because i didn't see any improvement in performance. Same goes to stagefright. Only visible improvement was in quadrant, but that really means nothing.
Most people that complain about phone speed, should look at the amount of apps they install.

This makes this the most sensible ROM out there (that's my opinion) On my previous ROM, i couldn't disable stagefright for some reason, so I flashed this. I'm still playing around with HW acceleration and JIT.

Agree. With the amount of apps I have because of this rom, I dont have those long term usage slowdowns where only a reboot could "clean" the RAM.
Also, I'll try to make a ROM of my own(soon, granted im not lazy). I'm running Arch Linux (main), but I have been really really lazy on finding the appropriate (arch equivalent) packages for compiling xD

This ROM doesn't even have one month!
There are lots of new threads, and this isn't a popular ROM, so it went to last pages...
I thought about adding a kernel that could enable oc, but my phone works so well that i didn't see any advantage in doing that.
It's better to keep things simple and running.
About arch, can't help. Never used it. I'm a debian user
I also hardly reboot my phone. Only when i forget to charge battery.
Are you seeing any improvements with hw acc? I didn't. I enabled jit by default because it was so talked when 2.2 came out. But never tried to use phone with it disabled.

Not really. However, with the stock ROM at stock everything, I get a 400+ quadrant score. In this ROM with HW acceleration and JIT enabled, I get 555. I'll test it again with less variables and factors or stuff.
I'm not turning them off, btw. I might come across something well that used to not work properly with HW accel off
I've just installed your rom.
Restored apps and data with Titanium Backup.
Well...
AWESOME ROM! Thank you very very much!
It is so fast and stable.
Very very good work
I've only one problem. I've installed calcoulator and calendar apk. All fine for the first one but i cannot sinc gmail calendar nor exchange calendar, and when i go in to the calendar options, it give com.calendar.com error.
To restore apps from original ROM, always copy them to /system/app (dont forget to mount it first as read-write). Lots of these apps have issues if the go to /data/app.
After cppying them, change their permissions to 644 and reboot.
I dont use sync stuff, so it was removed...
First download the zip file with apk removed. Uncompress it, and copy to /system/app these apk:
calendar.apk
calendarprovider.apk
googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk
googlecontactssyncadapter.apk
calculator.apk
These should be enough to have calendar with sync, contacts with sync, and calculator.
If you installed these apps to /data/app, dont forget to remove them first. If you remove manualy, you must delete files in /data/app, /data/dalvik-cache, /data/data
EDIT:
This ROM only has gereric mail app. If you want gmail app, also copy gmail.apk
My primary mail account is gmail, but i only use generic email app. Never really needed gmail one.... And all works ok
Thx today i'll try with to add
calendarprovider.apk
googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk
googlecontactssyncadapter.apk
as you said
Thank you very much
Edit:
It works! Thank You very much!
I have a question... Do i need to partition my micro sd for this to work? thanks in advance.

Thanks. let me try this.
I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.
I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.

These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.
Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?
Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.
You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.
Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though
What does resigned mean?
ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?
Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.
awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.
Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.
use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?
Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

Issue 1: I'm trying to install ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, MyFiles.apk in order to have the stock clock. I keep getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i try to use the command adb install (any of the 3).apk. I have also tried "adb push" which doesn't seem like a valid command. I tried moving the 3 apk files to my sd card on the phone and using "installer" and "eoeAppinstaller" from the market and these fail as well. Any more suggestions? I really like this di11igaf's ROM, but I cannot stand the new alarm ( i like the gradual volume increase of the stock). I have tried a couple of market clocks, but they just didn't work for me. Thank you very much in advance.
Issue 2: If I use CWM and choose Reboot into Recovery i get the following:
Android system recovery <3e>

Enter OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now

At this point I can use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, but the power button will not select anything. The only thing I can do is remove the battery and boot the phone back up, which then takes me into CWM recovery v2.5.1.0. I was able to install the di11i add on, but I don't think that I'm supposed to be pulling the battery to get to this point.
Thanks again and sorry about the long post.
Im no expert on this type of stuff but I use di11i roms and I just transfer apk's to the root of the phone through the regular mass storage mode and use root explorer for the rest.Havent had any problems yet.
As for issue 2 is the package a .zip file? If not that may or may not be the problem.
From my own personal experience the 3dapp isn't sign so I can't install it too
System apps are best copied manually into the /system/app folder using app like root explorer. Make sure the folder is in r/w mode.

It is a zip file and it installed. What concerned me was the process. Should it have frozen up like that and forced a battery pull? Nothing I've read leads me to believe that was proper behavior of the CWM.

I don't have that directory. Are you creating it on the phone and then putting the files into it? I may have not been clear on what I am trying to do.

I just looked into exactly what you were talking about and I got it figured out.It wasnt installing for me either but this is what I did and it works now.
Through mass storage mode I copied the 3 files to the root of the card.
Then I moved the files to the app folder which is inside the system folder.
I use root explorer for the moving.
When you move them into the app folder its gonna ask to overwrite say yes.
After you get everything moved it will work if you go to the app in the drawer.I never actually installed anything but did an overwrite.

u cannot see it in my files. u need to have root access, and something like root explorer.
So it looks like I could have just copied and pasted the files from the sdcard/Clock folder I placed them in to the /system/app folder using Super Manager. I swear I tried that and it failed before I went through all the crappy steps below. Oh well.
Ok this is going to sound pretty cheap, but I didn't want to pay the ~$4.02 for an ap that I was going to use three times. I did find another way. I used Super Manager and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877316&highlight=installing+apk post #3.
So for any other cheapskates out there.
1. Install Super Manager on phone
2. Install ADB on pc
3. Connect phone to pc and copy the three files ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, and MyFiles.apk to the sd card. (I just drag and dropped in windows explorer)
4. Use Super Manager to move to /system/app/ and rename the existing file Gallery3D.apk (I renamed it to Gallery3D.old)
5. Use adb to copy the 3 files from the directory in which you originally placed them on the phone to /system/app/
in adb type:
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/ (the red from Pirateghost).
6. Reboot
The clock and alarm work fine, but I cannot get Daily briefing option in alarm to work. I get a FC. I did install the "apk add on pack for 5.6" post 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416 , but I dont think Daily Briefing was included in that. Any suggestions? And one last thing - what is the di11iBrowserfix.zip from post 3 of the thread above for? Thanks again to all who contributed.
I got the daily briefing working. Everything is almost perfect, but I would like two things still.
1. Is there anyway to change the tune that is played when you have smart alarm selected? I have a different tone selected, but I think once you select smart alarm it defaults to that new age tone.
2. My alarm goes off, I stop it, but then I have to unlock it before I see the daily briefing. Can anyone think of a way to have the phone unlock when I turn off the alarm. I know it is so insignificant, but it used to do that when it was stock and it was pretty cool.
Come one guys and gals - don't make me figure this one out by myself j/k but seriously I have surprised myself already by getting this far and I really don't have skill or knowledge for the last two things. I'm learning though....slowly.
Thread etiquette
Did I do something wrong here? I got some really quick responses to my questions before, but nothing on my latest. I ask this next question with all seriousness - should I have started a new thread since it's kind of a new topic? No worries either way, I just want to post in the the most effective way. Thanks. BTW, my phone is working great. I'm getting ready to install 6.0 GPS is a little screwy - often has me west of my location by about 30 meters by I attribute that to the phones hardware. Other than that I have no complaints (except for the lame smart alarm tune)

Nope. Get the CWM flashable zip, and copy to ur sdcard. Then go to CWM recovery console, and install this zip. Reboot.
But, please take a nandroid backup, and try to avoid OC kernels if u r unsure ur phone can handle it. Phones freeze when tried to oc beyond their capability.

Thanks for the info and sorry for appending to this topic!
Apologies if this has already been covered, i have searched beforehand i promise.
I have a a Galaxy running on Stock Gingerbread Firmware, and while it is slightly better than Froyo for lag issue, is nowhere near as fast as it was with OCLF oN Froyo. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 weeks before going even slower than before he fix so i removed it (after some messing about).
From what I have read, changing or patching the Kernel seems to be the best way to fix the lag issue, but there are so many different kernels from various developers, I really don't know where to start.
Can someone recommend a Kernel that will help fix the lag issue and get the phone working to it's full potential (it was lightning fast after I first installed the OCLF)?
I have installed firmware with Odin, rooted and installed OCLF previously, but that is about as far as I have messed about with my phone, so no expert. So if you can point in the direction of a guide to install too, that would be amazing (though i could probably find myself, once i know what Kernel i'm using)
This is the full details of model/firmware etc:
Model: I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernal: [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
Thanks in advance
**ok, just realised i posted thread in wrong forum, should have gone in Q & A, apologies. Unfortunately, can't delete or move**
Try semaphore 1.8.2bm, use ext4 app v1.3 to convert to ext4. Use acid tweak to remove journals from system and cache file systems. Set lmk to 56 mb, use screen sensitivity fix, use smartassv 2 and sio and you'll have a fast phone that is solid with great battery life, remove profiles from setcpu if used. I also use darkys zipalign script and 3g script, works really well
Edit
I'm using stock odexed jvt with custom theme, all Samsung bloatware removed.

Thanks have found the kernel will give it a try.

I think you need to convert to RFS, then flash semaphore 1.8.2bm using SGS flasher (wipe cache & dalvik cache afterwards). One you are on Semaphore or Galaxian, you don't need to convert to RFS, simply flash!
Then use ext4 app V1.3 to convert to ext4.
I've uploaded acid tweaks zip file, apply this zip file from CWM.
Reboot, edit the /etc/system/init.d/*acid* script, comment out the line for the
/data file system. I have uploaded my acidtweak file.
Also uploaded extra scripts from here, there and everywhere. Please remove the ".txt" file extension and make the files executable. Probably best to try each file one at a time so you know the effect.
If you are running Semaphore 1.8.2bm, use smartassv2 and sio, and the sensitivity tweak, SD card tweak, I don't think you need any other tweaks, but you can try!
Note that the tuned gsp.conf file is for the UK, I normally get at least 8 satellites very quickly with an accuracy of 10m (sometimes 5m)
Note that the 56Mb script sets the LMK value to 56Mb and should run later on so overwrites the semaphore value (usually set to 48Mb or 64Mb)
Let me know if you need any help
Thanks for that. Though I think you may have overestimated my knowledge lol
So far, I have installed the Semaphore Kernal, Used Ext4 to change the filesystem to Ext4, Applied some of the mentioned tweaks in Semaphore such as Smartass2 etc.
I haven't cleared cache and dalvik, would it be safe to do this now? What does this do?
Now the part where I struggle:
I have no idea how to edit acidtweak file (though I did try applying the zip file and my phone would no longer boot, getting errors about not being able to mount data etc)
The uploaded scripts: I can remove the txt extension, but how do I make them executable? Do I then copy them to my phone and run them?
Once again, cheers

press three power button, enter recovery mode, choose apply zip file, choose acid tweak zip file. Reboot. You can now copy the acid tweak script into /system/etc/init.d and remove the . txt files in this directory will run when the phone boots. I use root explorer to make files executable, I think the free es explorer app may do the same.
You can copy the other files into this directory and enable then by making then executable. Long press on file, options, click on executable boxes (3 off)
If you are a noob, always best to backup /efs folder, you can do this with root explorer, long press on folder, copy, go to sd card, paste
