But that's pure guesswork made by devs who got sick of people asking for a solution, it has never been confirmed. (People say it over and over, but I can't find anything about anyone actually testing that theory. Simply stating something as a fact doesn't make it true. )

I had major slowdowns on my phone, and when I replaced my broken external SD the slowdowns magically disappeared. If someone has *severe* slowdowns they are likely to either have a problem with their phone and/or something has gone wrong and reflash (with wipe and reformat of sdcards) might be necessary.

Btw guys and the occasional girl out there, if you can't manage without restoring your titanium backup you really shouldn't play with alpha releases. Feedback on alpha grade software is pretty much useless from anyone running anything that is not a clean installation. Getting features in place and major issues concerning installation and basic operation goes first. Problems caused by third party tools and/or advanced usage (such as having a million smses and gigs of music and pics) is issues that's generally solved in the beta-phase. Also, problems reported by a minority of users are also unlikely to be solved in the alpha stage, this means that the severe lags reported by a few people is something that the devs likely will ignore for now. There's no point in wasting time on fixing something for a select few if there are things that are completely missing or is a severe issue for everyone.

That's alpha for you. If you're having a rare problem, there's no point in nagging about it. Just report it (if you really really feel you have to, but even that is mostly a waste of the developers time) and hope they fix it eventually... They have more important stuff to sort out in alpha than making YOUR phone work.

Once again, let me repeat that, seeing that my experience differed from everyone, I simply wanted to know if I was the only one but smart alecks blew up the issue. Sighs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oliva94:
I actually never used datadata.

I used a samsung based rom before ICS α, and since then (about 2 weeks later when datadata filled up) I always made a .nodatadata file in /datadata, which on cm disables linking that partition at boot. And I never experienced lag or slow load times because of this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
I wasn't trying to single you out. I don't see a problem with someone asking about an issue. The problem is with those repeatedly whining on the developers (as in "this has been a problem since day one for me, and it's still not fixed, why is it taking so darn long? *boohooo*" ) as if they have some kind of God given right to have priority-support on getting the ROM in working order on their particular setup.

Alpha means you can't expect your **** to be fixed anytime soon. Well, custom ROM means that as well, but you're even less likely to have your issues addressed in alpha.

Can we know which phones have slow NAND.?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GreenSGS:
My Phone is from November 2010 and it does not have a slow chip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
Same here. No issues/lag popped up when using this.

Mine from may 2010 and don't have a slow NAND. But I haven't seen a proper message, thread of notification yet from anyone here how to clear this up. So I don't believe **** about all these things about slow NAND etc.

But who am I :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
Cool, how did you determine the make of your chip, and which chip is the slow one?

Mine is from June 2010, I have no idea if I have a slow chip or not.

Sent från mein I9300 via Tapatalk 2. Kyllä!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 99x:
October 2010 here, apps are definitely slower to load up (2+) seconds than with datadata, Settings is really slow to load compared to datadata roms. I wouldn't say the rom feels laggy, just the initial loading of apps (and their content) is slow(er).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GreenSGS:
Well, it's based on feeling of lags for me, It's works okay with CM-10, occasional micro lags when I try to close apps (very odd) but I ignore ones which are due to my internet connection change (2g-3g-wifi, a lot happens at that time for example Google now refreshes cards, sync also get triggered), rest is awesome. I don't have a physical proof of fast or slow chip , even if I had what does it matter to others and who cares. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
Well it's the only way to confirm the slow chip theory, which as far as I can tell is entirely made up and unverified. The lags can easily (and is even more likely to, if you ask me) be caused by a defective chip rather than a different brand one. A broken/worn out hard drive will cause a lot more problems than any switch from a fast to a slower one. And judging by the severity of the problem people with lags have, I'd say it's more a sign of hardware failure than a difference in transfer speed. And for the devs, it can make all the difference.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TigerCourage:
Mine's from October 2010 too and yeah, settings is really slow to load compared to datadata roms. I didn't switch to CM9 just yet couse I want to give JB some time to see if it gets any faster.

Atm my configuration is:

Latest CM10 build with stock kernel

Deadline

1.2GHz

VM Heapsize: 128

Governor: Ondemand

Lock launcher in memory on

Balanced RAM config

That means that I am on the slow chip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DanielSanchez:
From what i can see, the main topic is about the nand chips, datadata partition and the year you phone was made, so I'll go a little bit off-topic and brag about my battery life and performance.

So my usual morning ritual is, i wake up, and start reading news, browsing reddit and 4chan, reading a book, checking Facebook for 3 hours straight and usually my battery would die after this time on cm9,7,miui(gb, ics). But after switching to jb i still have a whooping 50 percent after 3 hours and 14 minutes. The performance is the same as ics and my phone was made in October 2010.

And that's about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexsamaM:
Where can i find the info about the phone when was produced? I have bought it in june 2011.

Even so, i have no problems with lag, apps launch normally.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gvdn:
First: Once again Pawitp a huge thanks for all the work and time u put into all this.

Second: Shame on all u ungratefull pricks

Third: While playing music with poweramp i sometime have the music skipping. This is on all 3 JB versions so far. Have been on CM9 since beta releases and never had it there or on any GB version. Offcourse could be problem in Poweramp but emailed the dev and seems its working on nexus without any problem.

Edit: Can u please take the Nand and "when is my phone made" offtopic to another thread please FFS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
I find it very pleasant to see that you've tried what has been said here

by people this early morning.

My very last question is how you 'feel' the more slow settings? You'd

click on it or change things and it takes hours to get through the screen

or what do you feel?

Do you experience a better system WITH all those things changed or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
First, no amount of thanks would be enough to express the gratitude I feel toward the devs around here. :)

Second, I don't see why anyone should have to be grateful for something that is not working, but ofcourse, that doesn't justify being a prick.

Third, your issues with power amp is way more off topic than the nand-debate. The nand issue is very much part of the topic here as it is one of the major things that differentiates this rom from the other.

But anyway, I'll just hush up for now. Not because I feel as if I'm off topic, but because the discussion clearly is not getting anywhere.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TigerCourage:
Yes, I had all those enabled and it took the phone 5 seconds to open settings and almost every other app if I was opening it the first time.

It will get fixed though since it's just an ALPHA. I'm staying with it for a while to see how it behaves.

Do you guys know any cwm flashable zip that can invert the external sd with the internal one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexsamaM:

Considering this and what happened to me, I'd suggest a coincidental cache FS corruption is happening in our phones. It might be the result of the devs trying to optimize stuff/get around with no /datadata.

I am sure pawitp will hunt this down eventually. I wonder if a massive logcats/other logs (dalvik trace?) posting from all the ppl claiming lags could help? Just ask.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
flashing back to GB should restore your Imei, after which you can make a backup either manually or via an application like Nitrality.

after you flash GB and root it, then you can again flash CM9 or CM10 (which will cause bootloop because of the change of CWM, so you have to flash again after you go to recovery again after that)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bhu1:
Someone reported earlier that when screen is off data transfer speeds via wifi go down. Apparently, that's true. I noticed it first yesterday but I thought its the torrent I am downloading. Since then I have been keeping a check and I have noticed that whenever I switch the screen on the download is on 30-40 KB/s and then it rises to normal speed (220-250) then as soon as I switch screen off it goes down and whenever I switch screen on I notice download speeds very low and starting to rise.

P.s. I had to wipe yesterday cause of a stupid thing I did. Then I flashed 23 nightly, after 1 day of optimization its just freaking smooth . And I have noticed my phone is smoother on 1000 rather on 1200 and the difference quite a bit. Really awesome butter right now.

Just a question, if IMEI is changed, then you cant make a call? Or why is IMEI important/responsible for?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] panjgoori:
backed up efs folder and now will flash again CM 10. and one more question i backed up /efs folder using es explorer. if i lost my imei number again (which i know i will) then i should copy backed up efs folder again to get my imei back in CM10 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
For example when you put a backup back in the root of your SD:

open the Terminal Emulator:

SU [enter]

cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /EFS/nv_data.bin [enter]

rm -rf /EFS/nv_data.bin.md5 [enter]

Reboot your SGS and go back to Terminal Emulator

SU [enter] chown 1001:1001 /EFS/nv_data.bin [enter]

(and if I remember well can be called but you can't make a phonecall or use data/sms)

i think its battery saving method in wifi driver as i know : somthing about wifi pm_max and pm_fast u can change it on devil kernel :)

pm_max is default it will slow down concretion and make wifi less power taking when screen off - pm_fast the wifi when screen off will be same as its on but it will drain more battery

Are you using Gmail to sync your contacts?

If so, then it is the fault of Gmail because your images are compressed to 96x96px when you save images.

When you then Sign into Google Services on your phone, these low resolution images are downloaded and blown up to fit you phone, thus causing blurry images.

There's a mini campaign by some people on Google+ if you are bothered:
