Hi I'm a new person to these forums and I posted a my question in the general section but I think if I post it here it would be better, I don't know how to switch my post into here.

Question [Q] The Current Fastest ROM For Galaxy S I9000, Juwe Vs Darky?

Hi guys, after buying the Galaxy S GT-I9000 I was soo pissed at the lag of the phone, after trying several combination of custom ROMS + lag fixes, kernels, stock roms etc.... I have found Juwe to be good, but haven't tried Darky's yet.

As of current I think so far Juwe's 5.0 is the best (now mind you I haven't tried Darky's 10.1 yet) and I'm scared to try any other rom since they take soo long to do a proper install (including the battery callibration charging it full, then letting it run down fully, installing all the apps etc...) which can be a headache.

I also found Juwe 5.1 to be a bit slow and sluggish, 5.0 was the way to go.

What do you guys think is faster, Juwe or Darky, or perhaps another ROM altogether, anyone used both of them and found one to be faster then the other (no lag downs - no choppy motion when switching homescreen etc..)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdogguk:
I have tried both and have actually found that EXTRAordinary Rom with Galaxian Kernal to be lightening quick! Battery seems to last well too.

Roms i have tried are:

Juwe

Darky

Simply Honey

Galnet

Stock (obviously)

and now EXTRAordinary
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duveaux:
I love Galnet MIUI, but it is non-stock, so it's prone to battery drain. It's hecka fast though. Though I never tried, CM7 is supposed to be fast. Last time I tried darky's, it wasn't even gingerbread, but it was definately decent back then. Probably faster now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
How do you go about installing the Extraordinary rom with galaxian kernel? Do you first flash stock rom with odin, then flash galaxian kernel with odin, then flash the extraordinary rom using CWM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
I've installed Extraordinary with galxyian kernal, the rom definitely feels spiffy and swift, slight lag here and there (but then again I haven't installed alot of apps yet, Juwe's felt spiffy at first too, although extraordinary has better swiftness when reading/writing to media SD card so far), but the screen vividness/brightness/intensity/colour looks awful, it seems like the resolution has been dumbed down to make the system act quicker.

Still in progress will try MUIU and the rest hopefully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Pinpongs blockbuster rom is faster than juwe's, as is sams surface rom. Fact.

Haven't tried darky's.

blockbuster 2.4.5
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
Hi I've tried blockbuster as well, this ROM seems to be in par with Juwe 5.0, maybe slightly better but these two ROM seem very similar in performance (Juwe is a bit more choppy but faster in some ways).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehtoeh:
I find Sams surface rom is the fastest. Lagfix optional. Stable and no bloatware. Plus excellent battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoandresk:
i've tried. juwe, gingerreal, MIUI, CM7, darky. The best for JVP (according to me) is Juwe smartv5.0. The best for JPQ (according to me) is darky with dark core v2.9.

Galaxian kernel has problem with the front camera, semarphore kernel has problem with internet browser. Juwe rom base on JVQ and Ginger real base on JVQ has problem with random reboot (according to my last used for those roms). MIUI and CM7 is the best rom for oc and the theme (using platypus kernel and vorbeth), but ver bad in abttery life.. So i'm back with darky JVQ..

T
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
Hi I've now tried several different Rome INCLUDING:

GINGERREAL latest

MIUI 2.3.4

Extraordinary 3.2

Juwe 5.0, 5.1

Blockbuster latest

Simply honey latesr

Cm7

Darky 10.1

So far miui seems to be the biggest difference in terms of looks compared to stock android (interface looks a lot like ios iPhone 4), when it comes to performance juwe 5.0 and extra ordinary rom seems to be the fastest juwe seems a bit more choppier though but slightly feels faster in many ways and has a more polished look.

At the present I've decided to stick with extraordinary since it seems to be the fastest overall.

The GPS in miui locked faster than the other roms. That's something interesting as the GPS is dismall.

Still not fully satisfied though as every rom seems to have slight lag and choppyness to it. I guess the only way to get over this is to get a better hardware phone such as sgs2. Though 1ghz and 512mb should be more than enough for a blazing phone with some app function. Im still hoping somebody still makes a fast rom out there for this phone. Miui and cm7 project looks promissing and hopefully I'm the future they'll come up with something faster.

Still any other rom's, other methods of installation (combo of kernel + rom) that you guys suggest?

Currently sticking to EXTRAordinary with Galaxian 1.7 although GPS is useless....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protonpower:
Currently on Insanity ROM and it is very fast for me. I like the fact that he has stripped everything out of the ROM and you install what you like GApps, Google Maps, even the syncing is removed but obviously you need to install them to get syncing with google. Only been using it for a few weeks and so far very good. No lag for me.

Hi now I've tried Juwe Smart Ed 5.2, and its a real improvement from 5.1,I think it is the most polished and well round rom right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djshotty:
Running latest Juwe's (5.2) with latest release Galaxian EE 2.2, only drama I get sometimes is stock Gallery losing it's way to files, other than that, it's going well. I will say Juwe's has the best stock theme, the Ginger keyboard and stock dialer are the best out of any ROM I've had. I also agree with those in this thread, Darky seems to have lost his touch with Ginger...

I'm on Galnet MIUI right now. I was on darky from 9.x til 10.1 and it GB releases where slow while compared to froyo ones. I don't know about 10.2 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaatzek:
I tried almost every main custom rom avalaible on xda (juwes, darkys, continuum, tricky, etc..) And they all seem to be fast... only at the beggining. All the custom roms starts to be laggy after a while in my opinnion (maybe that's why we all flash so much :) This kind of problem i didn'y noticed being at cm7, and now on galnet's miui. Except for the battery galnet is my no 1. I tried to go back for a while to juwes 5.2, bu it's not it. I turn back to glanet very quick. Some people have huge battery problems on galnet but for me it can with ease last for whole day havy using - for me that's ok.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
Hi guys, I finally got a chance to try the hype on darkyROM 10.2 both final ed. and golden master ed. So far all this time I was on Juwe Smart Ed. 5.2 and Juwe's ROM was really good, fast, and polished, until the market kept crashing just a couple days ago (something like android.market keeps crashing), a lot of people on android seem to have the same market crash problem, this is the first time I've ever had it so I decided to try some new roms in the process of giving up fixing the market crash and just start fresh all over. The latest darky 10.2 (both Golden M. Ed. and Final Ed.) seems really fast, however I think the feel is due to the tweaks of the UI screen response rather than the rom itself (like speeding up the min/max window animation in windows 7). Quadrant benchmark wise its there around ~2200, Juwe was extremely fast around ~2500 but darky feels faster and less lagier, though the lags that do happen once in a while seems like the same as the lags that happened with Extraordinary ROM with galaxian kernel. The Darky ROM contacts loads really fast that's were other roms lagged a bit. The Darky ROM is very nice although I wish TW4 would have the numbers inside the homescreen dots. Batterywise I have not calibrated DarkyROM 10.2 yet, so I wouldn't know but I'm hoping to get around 2-3 days with moderate use like Juwe's.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxysu:
So far after using both juwe 5.2 and early 10.2, I decided to stick with juwe for now, juwe tw4 is more stable and polished than the tw4.5 that comes with darky, but tw4.5 does feel faster.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-weatherman:
My favourites still remain GingerReal 6.4 and DarkyROM 10.1

Roms are poor quality since JVQ in my opinion (lots of little issues that become rapidly annoying), so I'd recommend you not to jump on the most recent firmwares just because they're more "new", and stick to the ones that are really stable.

Darky 10.2 is fast and fancy, but also drains more battery.

The best one for energy saving is SURFACE, but it's also very (very) light, many useful things have been removed. Judge by yourself.

Hi

I hope someone can help me, I have updated my phone with a copy of the "wanhusteelblueoptimised" rom but never noticed that there was no boot image in the file I downloaded, after I did the update my phone will not boot past the motorola logo, I can not connect via ADB or rsdlite and I don't have a recovery image for the stock recovery "update.zip" I found one but it failed the signature check. I know of no way to get into open recovery mode from my situation so I can apply another custom ROM. Does anyone have a stock "update.zip file" or know of some fix?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
You should be able to get in to Open Recovery by holding in the volume up while powering on your device. If that doesn't work you can get the Open Recovery files at ModMyMobile. Un-rar the pile on your pc & copy the openrecovery folder & update.zip over what should already be on your sdcard. You don't necessarily need the boot.img & I would try to just wipe data / factory reset & rebboot first.
[Milestone XT720 General] dtashmore:
hi 3rdstring

Thanks for your reply.

I have never booted into open recovery and am not sure how, I have already tried copying the open recovery files and update.zip onto my sdcard but when I try to install the update from the stock recovery it gives me an error as below

Also I feel sure I should be able to get into the phone with ADB even when in recovery mode, can you confirm this? I am not sure if I also have a problem with my data cable.

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

How did you update your phone to run "wanhusteelblueoptimised"?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I've always had the Can't open /cache/recovery/command in Motorola's recovery & Moto's recovery will only flash an official Moto update (which apparently will never happen for this phone). The update.zip from OpenRecovery runs when you boot in Open Recovery (by holding in the volume up while turning on the phone). This is the recovery you have to use to flash any of the custom ROMs.
[Milestone XT720 General] dtashmore:
Hi Mioze7Ae and 3rdstring

I used the open recovery but from the normal running condition not from a position where it would not boot. Never tried to boot directly into open recovery. had my phone for 5 months and still learning.

I found another post detailing how to boot into boot loader mode and still could not connect to the phone, my drivers had been screwed up so after re-installing them I was able to flash the SBF file, all is fixed now thanks for your response I may not have found out about booting into boot loader mode without your input about booting direct into open recovery, I still need to get that right as I only ever got into stock recovery.

thanks and Regards

16MB is already too low. I'm surprised it even works. I set mine to 48MB since we aren't short on ram and empty ram is wasted ram. It should be at 32MB minimum. If you want to free your memory of idle apps use and app like Autokiller or Quick System Info or Advanced Task Killer.

I don't know how much truth there is to this, (found it posted in GB thread on Moto forums), and I will try to dig a wee bit deeper, but apparently after GB is released on the Atrix, if you perform a Master Reset, the phone will automatically install the latest firmware release when it boots back up.

"once GB whatever becomes official, by doing a Master Reset, you wipe everything, and then the Moto Server installs the most current version of OS."

Mark,

Once GB is released, whether as a tester or to the General Public, is it going to offer the user the opportunity to do a Completly Clean Install? Is it possible to offer that? with the updates and all the app installs and removals, this would eliminate any "Glitch" due to problems in past.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I don't know. There are a number of posts from Mark relative to MotoBlur accounts. This one response to a post of his seems to directly address a comment about future update procedures.

The Moto forums are not very well set up in that it can be very hard to trace back to an original post by someone if it is not directly quoted. I gave up after reading back through 20 pages or so.

<edit> It does appear to link back to that first post of yours, but assuming (I know, never assume) that the poster is half way intelligent, Marks' post in no way says anything about master resets then prompting an update to the latest revision.
