[Q] Fastest Rom for SGS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I've got lots of problems with my Cyanogenmod, and I feel like I need to change it to some other ROM. CM10 is working very slow, even with no apps on it, and CM9 just stops working well after some time (low memory notification shows up = in a few days it just kills every app all the time, doesn't start after reboot).
And there's my question - what is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for me? I don't need newest features, I require smooth working and stable system.
Thanks for the help

slimrom 4.2.2

Saurom is the Best Ever

I've killed Gamerzrom after 2 hours, but after second installing it works fine I've got less apps installed now and I think that I'll stay with this ROM. Only negative side is the launcher, I'd like prefer to have clean system

I have tried most rom, this rom is fastest you can see that from comment also.
About launcher you can install the launcher you want. Also if you want the stock theme just delete the morph folder from rom zip before flashing
Just be sure that you read the flashing instruction to have rom without prob.

1. Use CM10 lite by bieltv.3
The beta 2 version is pretty good and stable, camera, hq video playback, google now (voice search) not working.
119 MB, along WITH Gapps.
2. Use CM10 beta 3 by bieltv.3
Camera now works, camcorder slightly laggy. Flash doesn't work yet.
128 MB without Gapps, remove apps you don't want. Gapps not included so you can flash the ones you want.
3. Use C.A.M.P.S. (CM10+AOKP+MIUI+Parandroid+Sony) (!!!!) ROM by anurag pandey
It's still in beta testing phase. It's a rom for HD2 ported to the SGA. Some features like Aroma Installer not working (never gonna; HD2 --> Ace ?!?)
Doesn't work properly yet, still highly recommended.
Hope I helped!
I think is too soon to try a ICS/JB rom for daily use so give a try to stock CM 7.2 (stable as a Samsung Rom) or a custom based on stock one. These roms will work quite good without problems. This is only my opinion.

you can use apocalypse...as it is more stable than other rom that i have been used so far !
Cm7 is very stable atm,but battery life is bad...I personally use sgs2 v10 rom and my battery lasts for almost 2 days
I listen music and surf internet..so far i have best battery life on rom mentioned above....and i used lot roms
I'm using FinalCM7.2-RC3-AA-FIREKERNEL-OC and I think it's very good.

Custom ROM suggestions!

Hi all,
I've been a big supporter of the stock ROM ever since I got my Note with 4.0.4 (pre-facelift). Then there came to UX facelift (still 4.0.4), which added some lag. Recently I updated my phone to 4.1.2. Transition animations, launching of apps, etc became so laggy that it's hardly bearable (for me at least).
Now I'm wondering what are some of you guys' suggestions on custom ROM? I want to stick with a really fast TW ROM or AOSP ROM. I've looked into CM10, but it has issues with video recording, which I use often. Does anyone know of a ROM that is at least ICS and majorly stable and fast? Would anyone suggest CM9?
Thanks a lot!!

Looks like Alliance is a popular one. Since it's based on TW's JB, how smooth is it compared to the stock tw 4.1.2 (LM5 specifically)?
I would also like some inputs on CM9? Thanks!
Best ROM threads always turn into Pissing Matches. Best thing you can do is go to Dev section and read a few OPs. Pick a few that you like and read the last 10 pages or so for bugs. Narrow it down to one you want and start reading.

Try using Setcpu, set screen on time 800mhz-1400mhz :good::good:
Not much you can do about it. This is what samsung gave us with all the delays. The best advice I can give is either go back to ICS or flash something like rocket and speed mod kernel. It will be a bit faster then stock with some more features.
I did the normal steps ... rom , kernal , then the latest software ... it is good but the problem is the lag ! :/ is there a better software or sth cause when I open the ram I find it about 70% is used although not much apps are opened
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm using the speedmod kernel k5-3, the latest from hardcore, noticed my note temperature are not so warmer while in the initial stage after flashing from ICS4.0.2 to JB 4.1.2.
Maybe you can try to flash into speedmod k5-3 to do a comparison...

Even I am using stock jelly bean 4.1.2 but there is no such problem. I suggest you flash the stock GB ROM and do the update OTA. This may take
a long time and data download but you will get all the bug and performance fix. Use stock kernel.
I suggest that you lt th Rom settle a little bit over 3-4 charging cycles. JB sure is not all that buttery smooth as we all expected but it's definitely not that laggy even.
If you installed a custom Rom please ensure that you wiped all the four- system, data, cache and preload. In case you missed any of the wipes, I would suggest you redo the installation as per the exact guidelines by the developer.
In any case the performance definitely improves after a few charging cycles.

Maybe it is best if you flash a safe kernel, do a full wipe and format system, data, cache and preload and then reflash the firmware with ODIN PC.
That is how I usually do the flashing and I don't have such an issue.
wait for PAK rom release. PAK roms are the best ever with no lag issues and almost every fix.
i got the ics late on my note but unlike he german or any other rom its bug free and lag free.
i get the highest benchmarks on my stock rom. So my advice to you is to wait till PAK update, then u can flash it.

I highly recommend you to do a factory reset. Your Note will be much better for sure. My phone was like frozen after the JB update, but it's likely been a different phone when I made the FR. No more laggy at all. The battery is still a big deal though. Remember to back up your data ( I used Titanium) ).
Try installing a suitable kernel. I also had lagging here and there but rom is working smoothly with speedmod n7000 jelly bean kernel.

I also have the lag problem with JB on the first Note.
It is not isolated.
I have the lag. My wife has it. I know several people who have it.
I have never rooted my phone. My wife could not do it if you put a gun to her head.
We upgraded to JB months ago. We upgraded over Kies on the PC.
We have used and upgraded the phone EXACTLY as At&t and Samsung demanded.
The lag has never gotten better.
I have done a Factory Data reset after upgrading to JB to see if that would help...nope.
I do use a Class 10 Sandisk card. My wife does not have a card.
To give you an idea of the lag...
Getting a call.....I might be able to slide and accept the call before it stops ringing and goes to voicemail.
Open a picture...I will have to wait at least 10-15 seconds..if I am lucky.
Sometimes a web page is quick..other times it takes so long that I lose interest.
I have seen the phone just basically laugh at the idea that I expect to use GPS and just lock up.
Add music to the phone...if I do it tonight, I will see it available by morning.
There is no single app that seems to be the trouble and there does not appear to be a heavy load.
At this point I have lost all faith in Samsung, At&t and this piece of ca$p phone.
I have never downloaded anything that was not on Google Play. Neither has my wife.
Say what you will about the apple boys,...their upgrades actually make for a better experience..not this.
@lottathought are you using the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 or the Galaxy Note i777? If you're using the i777 then you can try out CM which should be in pretty good shape...

In the "about phone" part of settings, it says I have the SGH-I717
I actually thought about going the CM route. The only thing is that I used CM on my son's Tf101 Asus tablet when I upgraded it to JB.
It seems a little stripped down and some features were missing.
My wife Note also has laggy issues ever since the phine was upgraded to JB thru Kies. Now she's bugging me to get her the Note 3. Arrgghh!!!
Is there anyway I can resolve this or else I'm downgrading the phone to ICS, as a last resort.
Pls advice.

Backup everything (messages, call logs, apps, videos, downloads - everything). Once that is done then boot to a custom recovery and format everything you can see:
/system
/data
/emmc
/sdcard
/.android_secure
and any others that you see
After that then clear the cache and dalvik cache, once that is done, connect your phone to your computer to copy a custom ROM. Flash it, let it boot, restart and flash coh kernel.
That is for TW if you want a really clean start, try to keep as little files as possible. Use greenify, freeze/uninstall apps that you don't use.
Alternatively you can go the CM way. Same instructions just flash instead of a TW ROM then flash a CM ROM and Raw Kernel r3.

[Q] Looking for a stable custom rom (s3 mini)

Hey guys, i'm new to android and i just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.
I didn't like Touch Wiz much so i rooted my device and tried Cyanogen mod 10 that wasn't stable at all (no calls, no contacts), i know that its still in beta.
I saw Miui rom and i liked it very much but found on later that there is no s3 mini version.
Basically i want light rom (low ram usage + longer battery) that is stable with no issues.
Thanks in advance

I'm looking for a stable ROM too.
As i said earlier i tried CM10, i had major bugs which totally disable phone usage.
I couldn't make any calls whatsoever, i didn't see when people call me also phone couldn't read/import contacts from sim card.
I hope someone suggests a good custom rom :fingers-crossed:

The guide is in cocore's thread and here. Please do search and read in the future.
I stayed with JB six months thinking it is better than Gingerbread even if it has lags like these.Then,I went to a friend,who has a crappy galaxy mini turbo.I was really shocked that it had less lag and opened apps like camera faster.It has Gingerbread.
Today,I'm waiting to charge my phone,then I'll downgrade to Gingerbread.I may never come back until Cyanogenmod will be (almost) stable.
Good-bye JB!
^ Nah. Stock JB will all bloatware removed(fb,G+, samsung app store etc.) with Cocore 6.8 CWM is pretty smooth for me.

Stock JB, yes. CM10.1, not at all, never had a snappier, smoother phone than that. Once video recording/OMX gets fixed, that's the endgame for our phone!
In the meantime, try polish XXLQE (the odin package weights only 437MB, it's the smallest I've come across so far... I suppose that means it has the least bloatware) + cocore 6.8 + the latest crossbreeder, all on a clean base (all the wipes from the advanced menu in cwm, except the sd-card, of course)
Don't forget to debloat, there's a lot of samsung crap that isn't needed... there's also a lot more stuff that isn't needed if you don't use it (G+ app, google's music app, etc, from this point onwards it's a matter of one's preferences). Greenify all those pesky apps that don't behave themselves and eat a lot of battery (facebook messenger, I'm looking at you, among others)
Give that combo a try and see if it's still laggy. For me, it's rare for my phone to lag/stutter in a way that's irritating... Yes, it's a lot of work but samsung's crappy JB can be made to work and go along... Once it's all done, you CWM backup it and you can forget it.

Both of these ROMs are not even functional (hardware acceleration.and camera do not work) and in my opinion are no way as smooth and fast as GB.

It functions well but you just can't play hd videos or games. That's all. And camera works only video doesn't. That's pretty good for me. It's just a phone and I don't really play games and watch movies on phone. better do that kind of things on pc

Hey!, you're wrong. I was unsure if flash JB or not, because of people like you saying JB it's laggy.
I flashed LQG (Italy) + deodex + zipalign. It was pretty smooth, but lags a little when playing games. So I flashed CoCore 6.8 and now it works like a charm, no lag at all. So please say it's laggy for YOU, not for all of us.
