phone is getting slower - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I'm using cm mods for like 2 years. But it seems that it's getting slower and slower. I guess the new apps need more ram or something. Is there any way I can make my i9000 faster? Should I go back to gingerbread? Or any rom you can suggest for faster use?
It's really annoying to use the phone lately. Always lag.

this is normal if you're on JB , try wipe dalvik-cache and use greenify

Its the rom. Greenify will help but my suggestion is to flash a new rom try gamerzrom no slownes nothing just speed

For my phone helped me wipe cache/dalvik cache/fix permissions and factory reset... After these wipes my rom runs fast and smooth but after 2-3 months I need to do it again because the phone getting slower again Try it if you want I hope this can help you

I just use CM7.2 stable and no lag plus I can use chainfire3D in some games which gives them an extra boost... not sure if chainfire3D is compatible with any other version

I am using GamerzROM and the Fly-On Script and I can tell that it's super smooth. I also ticked GPU Rendering in Developer options, it seems to me that it makes scrolling so much smoother and basically everything is working fast.

Thanks for recommends. I installed gamerzrom and it's really good. I mean it's like i bought a new phone. I hope it won't do lag again after a week or so. If it will, then I'll try to add fly-on script I guess.

What is the difference between gamerzrom and CM???

Basically nothing. It's a rom with a modification of stock cm I guess. But very fast (compare to stock cm).

Well, you can always go back to froyo.. the problem is app compatibility.. e.g. equalizer apps won' t work in froyo and a lot other's.. but someone here is comfortable using froyo so you might wanna give it a shot..
Why not flash custom roms?
Sent by Mister Mini ®
As far as I understood, gingerbread has better performance
not recommended to go back but you can just download the firmware which have all the files like arm11boot, data.rfs, system.rfs, cache.rfs etc.
Try Andro-ID 3.3.1 / Emanon V6.
not recommended. gingerbread has better memory management and battery... flash to another baseband if u want..or why not try a custom rom. ? andro-id 3.3.1 is gud...
If u really like stock go for MOre

gingerbread is a lot better i recommend you to try minimod X final release, it's stable enough, i've never had any force closes, and reboots since i had installed it

Thank you guys
I cant use any other than stock because i use my phone to the maximum. i use alot of navigation due to my job and if my gps fails then i am doomed.
custom roms have always let me down. the only custom rom that was stable for me for a while was Chocobread 2.2. after awhile it started playing up,

EMANON v6 is the worst for me i dont know why, dont get me wrong, it is just not for my phone

is there any way to speed up my nexus?

im running cm7.2.0 and it gets kinda laggy sometimes when i scroll up and down in my app drawer..
is there a kernel besides the stock cm7 kernel that i should flash?
I noticed a significant increase in the speed of the OS when I switched from CM 7.2 to ICS & JB. Most JB Roms still have a few bugs, but if you like cyanogenmod, SpazeDog ICS is based off CM9, is fast, and pretty stable.
If you would like to try an ICS update but are unsure how, I wrote an update tutorial that has all the links for everything you will need in it here.
Hope this helps.
I know how it feels on cm7.2 it was so laggy especially using browser. ICS is more stable than jelly bean, but my phone using jb is faster than ICS. If you don't need camera I would recommend upgrading to jb.
Its very easy to install ICS/jb. Do a search on black rose and learn how to partition you system.

thanks just upgraded to ics, its way faster then the cm7 rom. feels way different going thru the UI. i'll just wait till the JB roms are less buggy. btw which JB rom would you recommend?
I've seen some success using V6 Supercharger script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16635544#post16635544). Its a script that is compatible with ICS and JB. Check it out. :good:

The roms are both good, just different - its a matter of personal preference. You should try them both and see which you like better. I prefer spazedog because it is more like CM which I have used for a long time. Also, I like the disk manager (spazedog version of app2sd script) as it is totally automatic - it moves apps to your ext partition in the background... you never have to mess with moving stuff around manually or running a script.
I do not know of a fix for the video recording issue.

Sorry if this has been said, but you could try using something like SetCPU from the Play store. I think it's only $1.

[Q] Most stable and fast current ROM

Yes, I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but ONE more time:
Can anyone recommend a STABLE and FAST ROM for Galaxy Note?
I am totally disappointed with the JB stock ROMs in terms of speed. I've also been trying CM9 and CM10 at various stages, byt IMO CM is nowadays buggy as hell... gone are the good old days when Cyanogen was still in charge(?)
I tried PA some time ago, but it was a bit buggy too. I'm a bit curious about it however... maybe it's more stable now? I'd also prefer decent support for the stylus.
Alliance ROM maybe..but in terms of this questions!!people's mind are not identical . this is like asking which girl is the Best one for a permanent
girlfriend!!!be a man .go out there and explore the ROMs and from there u might be able to see for urself ^

Totally interested too!
I'm now on latest MIUI however my wife's Iphone 4S is still faster, smoother and stable...
And those who tell 'go and try' - i've already tried 4 custom roms and 3 custom kernels and i'm sick and tired of restoring data every time after those tries.
So if you can really suggest a good, fast and stable custom rom for daily use - please do.

Sorry, dude, was even unable to install this ROM - tried twice but no luck.
Setup started normally 2 times and then quit suddenly - kicked out of CWM.
It's so weird that they have the only option of ROM install via ROM Customizer (no CWM zip support).
Ended up with clean install of the Ultimate JB v5.2 ROM - will try and see how it goes.

have you tried here? - http://galaxynote.roms-db.com/
excellent selection of quality ROMs for you to try, depending on your preference / needs. there are no bad or "buggy" ROMs imho, it's just a matter of personal preference. CM10.1 with Dynamic screen mode, forced GPU and all animations switched off is perfect for me. But that's only my opinion

Basebands Reviews

I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.
I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.
I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine
I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use
Sry for the way I express myself but english is not my native language
Goodluck and don't think about it just flash it and see for yourself

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.
in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know

thanks for your detail review! will flash it. But i have a question here, if i have flash VSLPA stock ROM, then i flash a custom ROM built on DDLUP, will that custom ROM run on VSLPA baseband?

CoCore

Sometimes on my i9070 I experience some lag. Sometimes much, sometimes a little. I've read some posts here to look into some issues with this phone and came across something (a kernel I believe) called CoCore. It seems it is used for overclocking the processor for a nice performance boost.
At the moment the phone is running unofficial cyanogenmod 11. Will it be wise or helpfull to install this CoCore on the device? And what are the risks involved?
Cocore kernel is for stock ROM. CM 11 has its own kernel that is based on Cocore too. Try using Greenify app maybe on the apps you don't use often that might run in the background. Search for the app on Playstore or here on xda.

Hmm, so what do you think gives a smoother phone? Stock with cocore or a custom rom?

If you're on stock rom, try lagfix free app on play store. It helped me.

I notice it too. So it seems that it is not a placebo.
Do you think it's better then custom roms or stock rom with CoCore?

Indeed, as demonstrated in my latest two posts of this topic.
No miracle, but it helps to speed memory write operations in different situations.

Lagfix is not a kernel, just an app to run regularly (manually if you use free version).
Personally I think that, if you don't have the patience to customize Stock Rom with Cocore kernel properly, you should try some Android 4.4 Custom Rom until you find a good one for you.
I keep using Stock Rom just for one reason, I customized it too much and I'm too lazy to start again.
Thanks a lot for all of your answers. I think I will keep using this room I'm using right now and when I get bored I'll try a version of jb with lagfix, or maybe I will just use stock with CoCore. The rom I'm using now sure is very stable.
Everything goes to show that it's all good and just a matter of personal taste. But some roms are definitely better than others.
room you are using

At the moment it has cyanogenmod 11 (unofficial), with flattington theme. This doesn't make the phone faster, but it doesn't have hangups or lag like touchwiz. It's a very nice looking theme!
