[Q] Serious lagg , tried every thing you could imagine - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys , i own SGS I9000 , came across very weird lagg when i flashed from stock eclair 2.1 to Gigerbread 2.3.4 , i have tried almost every rom except CM7 and Miui
i really liked the F1 GS2 V6 custom rom but i removed it due 2 bugs and reboots / lags
my MAIN lag is in browser and ANY thing that is related to scrolling , i just don't know what the F*ck is wrong with scrolling when i scroll down in my android market ...it's not smooth , when i scroll down in my music player , it's not Butter smooth but rather kinda choppy , scrolling down the contacts list , is rather choppy /laggy a bit not smooth , APP drawer , is choppy /laggy and not SMOOTH omggggg
i have tried clearing dalvik cash , wiped cash , factory reset , changed many roms , like JV6/ JVR/JVQ,JVH,JVP they all have the same problem
i tried darky's rom , jeuwes , F1 gs2 v6 , they all have the same problem :/ :/
BROWSER has some laggs too , when i pinch to zoom it takes about fraction of a second late to respond sometimes , also i can see some pixels when i pinch to zoom (( please help i will try to donate to whoever helps me solve this crapp problem , iam on Surface rom last , Speedmod kernek K15i-16
Lag fix disabled ( i have tried on many roms and i can't seen a change ) but not on this rom

i haven't tried Miui rom , i have watched some videos like this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ls4V496kwI
look how fast this thing goes !!!!!!!! can any one help me make my SGS like this one !????????????????????? any tweaks ?
is it available for 2.3.4 ?? JVR

I have galnets miui (chameleon RC1) with the neo 17 r7 kernel (really fast kernel).
Its increadibly fast even without overclocking.
I do recommend a ram tweak because with the stock settings it starts to lag after some time.
I personnaly use "autokiller memory optimizer" from the market.
Then I set the presets (press the menu button) to strict.
Now my sgs is really fast and it never lags.

i have flashed miui rom like 2 hours ago and iam shocked, it's very beautiful , buti i experince the same lag in the same place at the same time again..... it happens with all kernels and roms man iam tired of **** sh*t , any idea ??? i even tried Over clocking to max 1300 MHZ...... not even 1 single change in speed has hapened

Just out of interest, what quadrant score do you get?
Sent using geek power

1500 , less than 2000 for sure

sounds like you need a complete cleanse of your system and a clean install. The latest GTO Tornado kernel provides for a complete clean, flash the kernel, go into recovery, clean your system, connect usb, mount the sd card, copy rom, unmount, install rom in recovery, all clean and no lag (at least with Tornado RC2 rom, can't guarantee any one else's roms, but then you have tried most to know that already...)

Hmmm....
If you download the TEMP/CPU app, what is your CPU utilisation and free memory when the phone is doing nothing? (set display timeout to a long time) and watch.
My phone ticks over at 1-2% when its doing nothing proving the android overhead is very low.

I think you do need to a clean install of JVR (odexed) followed by a factory reset. I also keep my apps in internel memory.
Then try latest semaphore kernel, I use Tegrak to set max CPU speed to 1.1Ghz and its very fast and rock solid.

u need to format the internal,(phone),ext mem ,,i mean a totall format

Install CM.

now iam on miui 1.8.26 and it installs JVK 2.3.5 automatically i guess , kernel = wolveren ( STOCK with miui )

deodexed: easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space, slightly more laggy.
odexed: faster boot (after dalvik wipe), easier on space, harder to tweak themes, slightly more RAM, smoother/faster!
Odexed JVR browser doesn't suffer with the known lag, also try opera browser as this is fast

i flashed MiUi Rom it's very pretty and i will be using it for a long time , it fixed some lags at certain areas , Opera browser REALLY is better than stock very fast , sometimes it's snappy but i get a bit lag during pinch to zoom OUT or move arround in browser , i get lag during transition effect , like when i switch from a home screen to the next one it's choppy , any idea ???

MIUI and CM7 which MIUI is based on are indeed super smooth roms for me and bunch of other people. I've been on MIUI for a month now and that in itself is sign of how good MIUI is, I love to flash my phone, one of the reasons I came back to SGS and android after an iOS episode.
My point is that I cannot believe all the issues you have with all these roms.
Every android lags every now and than even SGS 2, u learn to live with it. Even iOS has micro lags sometimes, granted I had 3gs but in general iOS is miles ahead of android when it comes to that. So trade ur SGS for an iphone and have a lag free life. Well, almost.

[Q] Juwe's Rom 4.3.1 Bugs.

Hello All,
Since i still cannot post any comments in the DEV forum i wanted to ask few questions for the Juwe's Rom 4.3.1 developers who helped to create something almost perfect.
I am a very heavy user for the I9000 SGS and i have been trying Juwe's 4.3.1 ROM and i noticed few things.
1- The device is overheating when i am using the you tube application .
2- The battery performance is great only when you are disabling data networks , due to the nature of my work i have to keep it up at all times , and the battery drains is faster than the stock gingerbread release 2.3.3
3- Front camera is not working properly using the camera application but works perfect on video calls.
4- This is not related to this ROM in particular but i also witnessed it on the Simplyhoney v3 ROM as well - There are applications that i cannot find on the android market such as ( Whatsapp messenger , flash player , angry birds , advanced task killer , bubbles , islamic salat widget , hijri calendar ,.. )
5- Last is the arabic patch doesn't have keyboard ?! " can some one help with it please "
Note : The files stored for the TW4 is corrupted on both hotfile and deposit , please check this as well.
Yet thanks for the creators of the ROM and the team helped them it is some piece of work .
Regards,
Ahmed A Gad
I noticed that i cannot send sms anymore. I can recive allthought. Worked fine few days ago, no changes made during this time. Anyone has same problem?
Maybe problem with modem.try search posts with modem.i use juwe for 15 days not even singe force close or any bug.if you use packet data alltime ofcpurse battery will drain also on wifi.

Re flashed XWJVH and reinstalled juwes rom, everything works again.
Boot animation loop
Hi all,
I have been a darky fan all along and decided today to try out Juwe's new rom. I followed his instructions exactly.
Previously, I was on Ficeto's JVP base rom, Dark Core 2.7.3.
I disabled voodoo lagfix, booted into Download mode and flashed stock firmware from samfirmware.com - I9000XWJVH 2.3.3
When using Odin (v1.3), I only placed the the stock firmware in PDA. I checked re-partition and used the appropriate pit file.
Then phone rebooted normally, and then I used 3-button combo to get it back into Download mode. I used Odin again to flash the CF-Root v3.2 Kernel (Re-partition UNTICKED)
Then I flash Juwe v4.3.1 (wipe) via CWM. Wipe cache + Dalvik.
everything has gone well so far, then I boot the phone and it loads Juwe's Smart Edition animation - Earth shaking animation.
However it continues to replay this boot animation forever!
I tried reflashing from the beginning multiple times and it still doesn't work! Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ahilen

Thx for your concern and reply . i don't know what's deodexed , but all i know is that i have this lag on every rom i get they are all STOCK , downloaded from samfirmware directly are they deodexed ????
now i flashed miui rom on a jvr 2.3.4 stock ( which had surface rom ) i guess miui replaced it ! , i ran a factory reset and cleared cashes and dalivk cash.
iam sure if i flashed your rom i will still get lag , because all roms are fast , every one tells me , flash " something " it's veryyyy fast !! no lag ! , i flash it ......and boom , same lag in the same place !
unelss you mean flash tornado rom then flash over it a miui ( if it's possible lol )
I think you have to use another browser then. I think that the problem of stock browser can't be fixed. Try dolphin or opera (very happy if i'm wrong)

How to downgrade from Miui Or JVR GB to Froyo ?

Hello , i have alot of troubles with my phone such as
1-Lag in browser ( pinch to zoom lags and browser feels laggy /choppy not smooth)
2-Lag during switching homescreens ( transition effects are laggy )
3-Crazy power drainage at a rate of 10% per hour on IDLE !!
4-any thing that could be "scrolled or switched through" feels laggy and NOT snapy
5-some apps that require mics doesn't work like ilighter ( flame doesn't respond to mic ) but mic is working fine
6-any scrolling through lists ( up and down ) lags
i have tried alot of roms , JVP , JVR , JVQ , JVH , JVO , Surface rom , F1 GS2 V6 , creskilo's rom , darky , jewu's
tried different kernels like speedmod, Darkcore , CF-Root , galaxian
all give the same effect , nothing changes
i tried to over clock....even to 1300MHZ ..... still not even a change
i asked every where , i cleared every cash , wiped all data , system , clean installs , no luck
untill people started telling me to downgrade and updater bootloader
i took it out of the box on Eclair 2.1 Update 1 , and iam not sure if that's the original
can i downgrade to froyo ? and see if i still get lags ? then flash a good GB rom ??
thanks !

How can i speed up my galaxy s GT-i9000

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John
install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button
Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing
Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.
Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.
+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.
Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!
try miui mintberry
My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

MIUI mint berry and via rom toolbox clocked into 1,3ghz
I´m on JVZ with Semaphore 2.1.1 and overclocked CPU (1300 mhz). This motor is fast, stable and smooth.
Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.

Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

Wrong thread. Also there is tonnes of information a single google search away on how to root your phone. One way is to download Odin and then flash a rooted kernal such as CF-Root onto the phone from Download mode.

[Q] GingerDX runs very slowly

Hi everyone,
I was using GingerDX for 2 months on stock kernel, and it was really slow. Apps launched slowly (took 3-4 seconds at least), when i pulled down the statusbar it was very laggy, animations were laggy etc. I had only 40-50 MB free RAM even when i closed every running apps and unnecessary services, and it restarted the launcher everytime i pressed the home button. So the whole ROM was very slow (I even overclocked it to 710 MHz).
Yesterday I installed the stock 2.1 ROM and it is freaking smooth compared to GDX, no lag, launcher doesn't restart, I have around 80 MB free RAM when nothing is running, and it goes down to 50 MB when i run 3 foreground apps and more background apps at the same time, and touch is way more responsible. I didn't even overclock it.
I haven't tried any other custom ROM. Is GingerDX really that slow? I don't believe, because it is very popular. So what is the reason it runs way slower than 2.1? Maybe because I have stock kernel? I really want to use this ROM since it has so many features.
Hi Lajbymester ,
Welcome to the community.
Please take some time to Introduce Yourself and read FORUM RULES.
Hope you enjoy your stay here, and help others in the future.
I beg to disagree. GDX is popular because it is a very good ROM. Please do try fullwipe, then flash the ROM as instructed in GDX first page.
Thanks for the welcome
I have already full wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 5 times, used all versions from v021 and it didn't get any smoother.

I have already full wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 5 times, used all versions from v021 and it didn't get any smoother.

Hi,
For now, I´ll just ask you to give us some more information. Could you post what do you use on your phone?? Even in stock kernel I´ve never felt laggy on GingerDX.
With fresh install, what did you change? Undervolt? OC? I remember that ppl had issues on Stock Kernel and GingerDX running with OC module from doixahn. Try to see if the Rom you are using is undervolted or not.
Will you try it on Custom Kernel?
BTW, which laucher are you using on it?
I flashed doixanh's OC module and it seems i used the Undervolt too because it is integrated into the ROM. I can't flash a custom kernel because my phone's manufacturing date is 11W48 so it would be a brick. I'm using GO Launcher EX.
No we mean the step you do. What are the step you do and setting you do to your phone?
try removing the OC and UV modules, and I suggest you to use Laucher Pro, it seems to be smother than other lauchers I ever tried.
To remove both OC and UV just open a root File Explorer (ES File Explorer has root access), go to /system/lib/modules and delet x8oc.ko and x8uv.ko if I´m not wrong. Them you test the rom again and see if you get better performance
It seems to be a bit faster now, I'm not sure yet
I got some free RAM with RAM Manager Pro, now i have the same as on stock ROM.
Well...I didn´t use any app to kill process or manage RAM on my phone, and It is smooth enough for me without OC . I´m using MiniCM right now, but it was the same on GingerDX
It seems to be smooth now, thanks for the help
You´re welcome bro. That is why me and other ppl is here
Fullwiping
I dont agree. I run v025, stock kernel, and i dont flash the overclock modules. It runs fast and smooth. Maybe u installed too much apps, widgets and kind
thanks for the thanks......
rom: gingerdx v025
kernel: stock

I found GDx (stock) a bit slow too
I dunno why.
That made me switch to PrimeHD.
That's very fast
And the magic is: when i sleep, i turned off data, wifi etc and my battery level doesnt change a single percent. 25 % when i go to sleep, and still 25 % when i wake.
thanks for the thanks......
