[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
I'm running a stock, rooted Sense ROM (2.3.3) with Go Launcher (Sense kept re-launching every time I closed an app).

I have close to 140 apps installed, including the stock EVO apps, and 21 megs free. The low storage space alert is always in the notification bar.

My phone runs pretty slow: screen updates, opening apps, etc. Often, if I try to switch screens or go into settings, I have to wait... and wait.

This has been going on for months, and is constant - it never runs fast anymore.:mad:

I'm guessing it has to do with only having 21 megs available for apps? As far as what might be running in the background, in typical android fashion, if I open a task manager it will usually show eight to ten apps running. Apps I haven't used in days or weeks! Who knows why these apps are open.

Does anyone know of a thread or source for tracking down what might make these phones run so slow? Am I not allowed to have that many apps installed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
Well you say that you are rooted. So the first thing I would do is download Titanium backup from the market and "freeze" or uninstall all the sprint apps that you don't use. This will free up some space and help. Then go and find out about "V6 Supercharger". It is a script that will speed up your phone and stop the home screen from having to load every time. It's awesome.

Now if you are fully rooted, I would recomment flashing a new ROM. This will solve all of your problems at once. You can use titanium backup to backup all your apps and data then flash a ROM. Restore your apps, and use the V6 supercharger. It will be very zippy. I would recommend MikG for ya. :)

This should help you out.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386911
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Thanks.

Rocket, I forgot to mention that I already had Titanium BU installed and had removed many of the Sprint bloatware (been using TBU ever since I rooted over a year ago).

Will check out V6 Supercharger, however, I still don't know if remaining storage space is related to a phone's system speed.

Diablo, I saw that thread a few days ago. I didn't read it in detail though, just skimmed it.

I guess I will read it in detail and try out all those suggestions. My main desire is to have 4G, wireless tether, and the camera all work. That prevents me from using some of the ROM's out there that break those features. Oh, and having it respond quickly.

Getting rid of those annoying "Low on storage space" messages would also be great, but I guess I'll have to wait till my next phone for that!

Have you tries partitionong your sd card and using darktremora apps2sd I have 140 apps installed and over 200 megs of internal memory left
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
I installed Brads updated Sprint V3 beta 4 last week. It has DT baked in I think.

I have yet to partition, but now I have about 80 Meg's free and the system speed is back!

I guess internal free space does indeed affect system speed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Your best bet is to hit that thread and partition your sd card,its essential fo newer roms trust me and leave at least 32MB of swap when doing a partition.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittybittyfds:
Have the EVO with ICS 4.03 beta 3. When the screen sleeps and i push the wake button to unlock the screen will not wake until I start to pattern unlock. Its just blank until it senses motion.

P.S. I am using Chainfire3D, Drivers Installed, reduced texture.

Is this expected?

[Off-topic] 2lazy2day:
I went from being an iPhone user (iPhone3GS then an iPhone4) to android and would never go back. There isn't much you can do on an iPhone in was of customization without jailbreaking, and a jailbroke ios4.0 was very unstable for me with horrible battery life. Not to sure about a jailbroke ios5 since I bailed before it was released, although my wife now has the iPhone4 with ios5 (stock) and it is fast, so I'm sure the 4s would be snappy as ever with the improved processor. I like optons, so for me android is a better experience.

You will by default miss something about android. That's just natural. Will that thing be enough to make you regret your purchase? Only you can answer that. Hell I miss some things about WebOS on my Touch pad. But will I go back? Nah B-)
[Off-topic] ejatds:
i don't really get why you'd want to go the iphone route unless you're feeling a little retro today.

the main reason iphone users dont switch (from my observations) was the money spent on apps, but i've never heard of android users switching to an iphone unless it was an entry-level phone (ie: optimus one, galaxy gio)

edit:

if you're bored with your phone, you can try a different manufacturer like samsung, moto or maybe go stock with a gnex. it'll be a completely new experience.
[Off-topic] avanray:
I did spent alot on the market.haha.I guess it would be one of the downside of switching.
[Off-topic] avanray:
Actually considering gnex too especially with ics. Samsung for me I dont like touchwiz even if I get one I will definitely install AOSP rom. In that case I will still feel like same old android. Thanks for the input.
[Off-topic] blackhand1001:
The biggest thing for me that keeps me away from ios other than it being closed and no customization is the lack of a dedicated back button. I think its a huge thing to leave out and makes things like opening links in one app that brings up another very disorienting. I think its a huge flaw in the design of the OS. The one home button is incredibly inconvenient and clunky.
[Off-topic] I Am Marino:
Not really, In two years of Android, I've spent a total of $5 on Android apps from the market, I'd miss Android if I left.

So I've been looking all through the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 threads and can't find ANYTHING on rooting this phone. I've rooted several other phone models, including the S2 and I've never had so much trouble finding info on rooting a phone.

Could someone place a sticky on this?

I'm trying to root this Bell Canada Galaxy S I9000 on ver 2.33 and I can find plenty of instructions AFTER rooting but that doesn't help me if the phone can't even access the system :(

I just want to root this and install Cynaogen 7 on it. Help, please!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rax22:
OK here is a good starter guide.

The most important thing is getting a rooted kernel that matches your current Android version, wrong version will lead to bootloops and sadness. Once you've got a rooted kernel and CWM recovery you can backup and flash CM7 (twice, trust me).

CR Root thread has a long archive of kernels, should have one that matches your version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thefanatics:
There are several methods existing in order to root your phone.

If you just need to root without changing your ROM, flash a kernel via Odin (kernel examples : Semaphore, CF-root, ...)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silvercloak5098:
Why I'm rooting

Thanks everyone for your help.

TBH I'm rooting this for my brother's friend. He unplugged the phone in the middle of an update and now it won't make or recieve calls anymore... Soooo I'm guessing if I install a new ROM on it, it'll fix the whole issue... I could be wrong though, but it's worth a shot.

Silvercloak
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rax22:
He unplugged it during a Kies update? Check if the IMEI matches the sticker on the phone. If the IMEI is corrupted you might be best to send it back, a custom ROM will void any warranty.

If the IMEI is OK then rooting it and flashing a stock ROM might clean it up.

Best of luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silvercloak5098:
This is all hearsay from my brother, all he told me was this guy unplugged his phone in the middle of an update. If it was OTA, or Kies, I don't know. I'll check the IMEI, but I know his warranty is up crap creek, he tried to get it fixed under warranty and they wanted to charge him over 600 bucks.

I'm going to assume the IMEI is fine though, as he's getting data just fine without wifi being turned on, and he's connecting to Bell Canada, he's just not getting voice calls in or out.

Silvercloak
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drew071:
Flash a stock rom using g heimdall or Odin and go from there. Putting cm7 over it without calls working might make the issue worse. Flash stock first. Then install clockwork mod kernel, ie hardcores speedmod. Then flash cm7.no need to mess around rooting. U just need cwm.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayprime:
Sorry if this has been brought up. I've gotten pretty good at converting my dvds using handrake to be able to play on most android devices. I'm interested in converting my blu-rays to hd mp4 or some other format using handbrake.

For example:

http://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/blu-ray-rip/259-rip-blu-ray-to-mp4-using-handbrake

Now I know that wouldn't be able to fit on my phone or tablet. There is a good guide some where in the vibrant forum that I use for dvds but I can't find the link and I don't know if that guide has the proper settings for converting blue rays.

Now I plan on watching these on my vibrant just for fun and I plan on buying an asus memo when it comes out. So I think converting them to 1280X720 should be fine. So if anyone has any suggestions on the proper setting I would appreciate it.

Edit:

I found this

Since the "Buttery Biscuit" rom is still in development, which is better, Classicnerd_SE or Classicnerd_ICS_Buttah? I am currently running SE and it is quite amazing! I'm. Just looking for some input while I anxiously await the official release. Thanks guys!

And if you haven't checked out classicnerd yet, DO IT!!
[TouchPad General] siralsmooth:
Flashed Buttah earlier. Superuser works correctly now. Seems smoother than SE. CPUtuner works correctly on buttah as well.
[TouchPad General] N00Bextrordinaire:
Thanks for the reply! It took a great deal of work, but I finally got SE to work for me last night. It seems that I have the Buttah zip installed as well because when moboot comes up I have an option to boot Classicnerd and an option to boot ICS, but no matter which one I choose, my "about phone" screen always shows SE. Its weird in my opinion, but it works and that's all I care about.

The correct entry is Classicnerd. I don't think running from the ICS entry will cause you any problems but you may want to clean it out so future updates have the space they need on the /boot partition.

[TouchPad General] glabifrons:
I've been following both the XRON and classicnerd threads pretty much since they started...

The "SE" build was a preview originally put together for a closed test team, and came before the "Buttah" version which was offered in the open (although still alpha status, even though they put it into a "beta" directory).

They're both made by the same team from the same sources. Buttah should be more polished (and from what everyone is saying in the dev thread, it sounds phenomenal already).

I'm waiting 'til it comes out of alpha before I switch away from 2.9.1, but I'm definitely drooling over what I've read. :)

I have tried all four classic nerd ics versions and buttah is the first one that has my touch pad charging quickly and battery life is very good.

[TouchPad General] mmikeee:
oh man you're missing out! ics buttah is sooo silky smooth and pretty much stable (minus the major problem all ics roms have). the major difference between SE and buttah is the charger fix. my TP now charges when I use it while it's plugged in. before it would keep on running down

if you do decide to update from SE to buttah remember to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache several times before flashing on. also i would run the remove moboot entries just to be sure
[TouchPad General] life:
i think leo included the wipe moboot entries in this release not sure tho but he mentioned it before releasing this one. when i flashed buttah i didnt have to flash the remove moboot entries.

I flashed Buttah about an hour ago. This is really, really nice and smooth. Amazing for an alpha software version.

[TouchPad General] isanrap:
If you are moving from a cm from there is no need for acme uninstall just do factory reset and wipe cache. Do this at least 3 times (just to be safe) and then flash the from and gapps from clockwork mod.
[TouchPad General] N00Bextrordinaire:
I was finally able to get Buttah to install last night via CWM by downloading the .zip straight to the touch pad instead of transferring from my PC. In the spirit of the Xron roms, I decided to try installing it as an "overlay" to the SE rom and so far I haven't had any issues. I had to reflash the gapps, but I was expecting that. Now in my Moboot I only have an option for Classicnerd and no ICS option.

Hi was just wondering im on CM7 its there a way to save my apks n settings and update to ICS Buttah?
[TouchPad General] N00Bextrordinaire:
I have the flash player app from the market installed and I haven't encountered any issues yet.
[TouchPad General] N00Bextrordinaire:
I haven't come across anything yet. All of the install instructions I've seen tell you to "wipe, wipe, wipe and wipe some more" so everything will certainly be lost. There are some back up apps out there that you could try, but I've seen many posts about people having issues with Titanium Back up. Its probably safe to assume there would be similar issues with other back ups as well. Personally, I just made a list on all the apps I had installed on my last Rom and dove right in, lol. For me it was worth it, I love ICS! Now if only they'd update my damned RAZR to ICS...
[TouchPad General] cesar2010:
ok i made a clockworkmod backup and after wiping n installing buttah i went to restore n advanced restore n restored data; and bingo all my apps n settings were there i had sum issues with the widgets but i just had to reset them

[TouchPad General] calash:

[TouchPad General] Smac7:
Ok, so buttah seems to be smoother(than cm9), but that may just because it was a new install. Strangely, benchmarks were a fair bit lower.

So let me see if i understand this correctly. From what i have read, it looks like i cant install CWM recovery without installing a custom Kernel? So me backing up my stock set up is pretty much out of the question? So everytime i wish to install a different custom rom i am essentailly reinstalling CWM recovery as well?

How can i backup my stock set up and restore it if i screw something up, or install a rom that i am not happy with? I am coming rom an epic 4g on sprint and it was different with that galaxy phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Flash a CF Root kernel that matches your firmware, create your

near

stock b/u. This will be your point to fall back on. 99.99% of ROMs you flash will include a kernel, that also has CWM, it may be a different version but they all work the same, for the most part. The majority of kernels include CWMr 5 or higher.

You'll always have the option of restoring your "stock" b/u so long as you don't delete it. Titanium b/u is the ticket to back up all your apps and their data rather than having to extract those apps/data from a CWM b/u.

You only have to root once. The easiest way to unroot is to flash a stock firmware. Flashing a stock kernel back on after you've rooted will replace CWM recovery with stock recovery, but you'll remain rooted. Probably doesn't address all your questions, but you've got a start.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseykat1:
forgot to mention that i am rooted now. using oneclickroot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Just flash a custom kernel with CWM recovery installed inside.

Such as:

- Siyah

- Phoenix

- Ninphetamine

etc...

DO NOT FLASH STOCK KERNEL AS IT WILL DELETE CWM RECOVERY. ROM MANAGER DOES NOT INSTALL RECOVERY ON YOUR PHONE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseykat1:
is it as simple as using Odin, clicking PDA and flashing the downloaded kernel? and there should be no side effects from using a custom kernel such as Siyah?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Getting back to 100% stock is easy, odin flash a rom.

CF root *is* the stock kernel, just with some bits added (CWM recovery and root).

CF root with your stock rom is defo the safest bet.

Yes if you get the kernel in odin tar file, otherwise flash CF root and use CWM recovery to flash the zips.

I notice that after school (which I watch Netflix and play Modern Combat for about 3 hours and then 4 hours of standby) and come home with 70%+. There is barely any standby drain, like less than 1%.
