Thanks for your answer, I will not use Kitkat for now

I see cm9, cm10, cm10.1, cm10.2 as stable/final builds available for the I9001 / Galaxy s PLUS, where to get the most out of the battery
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
As [MENTION=5051515]tetakpatak[/MENTION] said ICS has some decent battery life, and tweaking/finetuning it can take you pretty far I imagine

If you look above tetakpatak and I agreed on one thing - don't go for CM10.1/JB 4.2, speaking from experience cause that had god-awful battery life no matter how hard you tried :P

Thanks for answering, I had no idea on that one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Mispost, ignore this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTe:
Yeah but this thread and your discussion are mainly about the I9000

As the I9001 has completely different hardware I figured the knowledge cannot be applied 1:1 and hoped someone with experience with the s plus ROMs would share his wisdom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Despite your i9001 has different hardware than the i9000 and needs respectively different files, the performance will be quite the same as the hardware is also single core 1GHz, 512MB memory and it has the same screen resolution.

I would search for good custom GB or ICS for good battery life. KK is a hard task to manage for these phones. But maybe there are good working KitKat ROMs nevertheless.

Most of us, users of the i9000 know less about i9001, except if [MENTION=4586061]xsenman[/MENTION] gives you a hint. He knows really everything IMO

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTe:
Actually it should be the opposite about kitkat (meaning better performance) because it was optimized for low ram devices.

Maybe it really will be after some more development.

I will go with cm 10.1 for now since I found several reports about quite good battery life.

Thanks for trying to help me though =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Ehh, I guess its a case of the old hardware not being able to cope so well either. Older devices with hardware that's no longer supported (eg. Tegra 2s) don't run Kitkat so well regardless of the low ram requirement
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Despite Google's claim to be that way, it seems it isn't quite so.

KK has indeed very smooth UI. But it is great only on fast devices.

not sure this the right place.....

will there be any problems if i use ART on CM11 M6 snapshot along with Semaphore kernel 3.4.3

Is it not compatible with CM11 since i get a warning when trying to activate it (haven't yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
I have no idea sorry except that I know that the warning comes up on any rom because ART is still very experimental. What did the warning say?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] true_lies:
It says...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
That only comes up because ART is still an experimental part of Android. As long as you have gapps that are compatible with ART and you install apps that are compatible you shouldn't run into problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] true_lies:
Ok i'll try it maybe later.

That aside...i was thinking of flashing the KK Mackay ROM 4.2.6 this time. The procedure remains the same i guess...but can i flash it through CWM recovery or do i need TWRP for it? Plus, since i have Semaphore kernel on CM11, I'm guessing that will be changed as well to MacKay's

hi

Good...nice OP for the hyperthreading......not really hyper :)

Well, at least in chapter 4 have saying bout battery life.....but no alternative way other than ironman chest piece n car battery...too bad, both r too big to put into mobile......... sob

anyway i juz wanna ask OP about certain cooked ROM of 4.4

is there any recommendation from u about /datadata partition? i need at least 500mb /datadata partition size as games nowdays hv really big data need to be download, for instance Brave Frontier games. It need at least 300mb and as u already know, starting 4.1 n above /datadata partition bein created to maintain da smoothness of ROM UI n lessen the lag when lauching app, but most ROM out there juz maintain about 300mb size of /datadata partition (owh btw, i revert to 2.3 bcoz of app data will b stored in /data/data in internal storage... so i can play games without any error or "internal memory full" box comes out all the time) bcoz of maintaining the internal storage size...taking into account.... what the use of bigger internal storage if app data goes into other partition that smaller n makin us hard to install many app...rite? :)

so.... any recommendation Mr Soryuu?

i already try to revert or remove the /datadata to internal using ANY necessary method available....but unfortunately it ll end at bootloop....sobsob....sobsob....i hate cookingggggg.....

anyway, thanks again for this thread....even its not hyper..it still helping and i m sorry if this topic r already bein discussed, but please giv me the link to the discussion thread ya ;)

Ughh. School's meant that I haven't been able to update this thread for 3 months...

Thread has had some very minor changes to it - changing things to 4.4.4 instead of 4.4.2 :)

Hey, good to see you around again,

Unfortunately I gave away my Galaxy S at the start of last November (so before any roms were avaiable for the I9000) so i have no idea how Kitkat roms perform, or whether partition sizes can be changed as easily as they can be in previous versions.

The discussion thread though for Kitkat is here, and you could ask people there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591721
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
KitKat works fine on i9000. Not very fast, but the UI is smooth and better battery life than JB.

I have dropped JB and KK and installed Mackay ICS 2014 CM9 based, with ultra fast stock kernel and won't try newer ROMs anymore as this is just perfect for my needs.

Most SGS users these days seem to recommend Mackay ICS 2014 because of how fast it apparently performs...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
Or maybe F4K R4 ICS which I've started using after Mackay ICS and consider to still be a superior ROM. My opinion. I wouldn't try R5 unofficial which was released by a third party as the included Gear kernel and tweaks have caused me nothing but problems, and you'll have problems flashing another ROM afterwards.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Either way both seem to be the favourite outside Kitkat roms.

For everyone - do we think the SGS will get L? I've read some things about how it won't be able to support L's 3.10 kernel or something like that and so a build of L is unlikely. If it's looking like the SGS won't get any CM12/L builds then this thread will probably be marked as finished (maybe updated with newer roms but I don't really have time right now).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
I don't think it will. "L" will be totally on ART and there will probably be quite a chaos with apps updates. So none of the Xposed frameworks modules will work. For our i9000 there are enough great ROMs around, I think KK is the last reasonably working Android version for its hardware that was flagship once, but it is low-end today.

I have tried last month "L" test version on my Nexus 7 and erased it after few hours. I don't even feel like updating, I am totally happy with KitKat.

Hi and thanks for this guide.

Can I have a suggestion about the most speedy and smooth rom today?

So far I used CyanogenMod 11 and ParanoidAndroid, but the phone UI is laggy (sometimes I have to wait up to 10 seconds for the screen to turn on to pick a call).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Seems like most SGS users nowadays go for ICS. The hardware just doesn't seem to be up to scratch to deal with Kitkat (despite that whole 512MB of RAM debacle).

If you can't live with ICS (because of no JB/KK features which I totally understand) then I'd say go for 4.3 builds/CM10.2. It's not horrendously outdated and 4.3 roms are still really solid performers. Most apps that you can find on 4.4 (and that can still run on the SGS) should run with 4.3 as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuskro:
For me the perfect combination for our i9000 is:

1. Stable CM10.2.1 rom

2. Kernel Semaphore 3.3.0 (avoid version 3.3.0s because it gives problems with Netflix, besides version 3.3.0 is perfect and you can activate bigmem with Semaphore Manager App, so 3.3.0s is nonsense) (NOTE: You need odin for installing it, follow this instruction)

3. Gapps: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

4. Semaphore manager app. Settings for Semaphore Manager:

- Smartassv2 Governor: Awake ideal freq 900000 / Up rate 10000 / Down rate 99000 / Max CPU 50 / Min CPU 20 / Ramp up 300000 / Ramp down 300000 / Sleep ideal freq 300000 / Sample rate jiffies 2.

- Deep Idle: Enable

- Lock min freq to 100Mhz: Disable

- Active Scheduler: CFQ

- Bigmem: Disable

5. My build.prop to be placed within /system/ (remember to set for this file rw-r--r-- permissions and change owner to root).

6. A launcher like Zeam Launcher.

7. And finally an installed App Cache Cleaner Pro to erase the cache every now and them.

Best.

I don't know how to do 5th step. I'm not sure how to place your build.prop within /system/ (and where exactly) and I don't know how to set for this file rw-r--r-- permissions and change owner to root. Can you help me (and some other user maybe)?

Will it make 720p or other video recording and/or playing not possible (I have probably CyanogenMod 10.2.1 + Semaphore 3.3.0 without s + gapps-jb-20130813-signed on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000).

Can I make 5th step AFTER 6th and 7th step?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Use something like Root Explorer or Root Browser on the Play Store to move the build.prop file. Once it's in there, long-pressing on the new build.prop should come up with an option to set permissions (I don't have screenshots on me sorry but you'll probably get something searching the Q&A section or just Google in general).

Generally 720p's dsiabled on roms that use Bigmem (and the 409MB kind). If I remember correctly the standard versions can still do 720p recording. I'm not entirely sure what the build.prop will do though, so do be careful of that.

For everyone else: it feels weird to be back in the S forums but after a year I decided it was a good idea to return for a bit :)

As I feel my question isn't worthy of opening a new topic I'll ask here in hopes I'll get some good replies.

My mom needs a new phone and I've been thinking of giving her my old Galaxy S1 since it's just laying there on my desk. She'll use the phone only as a phone meaning she needs just the classic core functions of a phone - calling and SMS usage. :D

Since she doesn't need ANY other functionalities I'm in search of a stable, fast and as minimal ROM as possible. Don't need any bloatware - no stock bloatware apps, no manufacturer bloatware, no custom ROM bloatware. So the end result would be a stable, non-sluggish phone with as good battery life as possible.

Any recommendations?

I had bad performance, app 'has stopped working' (or something like that), battery drain issues with that CyanogenMod 10.2 (CM 10.2 -> Android 4.3) + Semaphore (with changed settings in Semaphore manager and after some time with default settings and without doing 5th, 6th and 7th step from kuskro's post).

Now I have official 2.3.6 ROM [I9000XWJW5 (2.3.6) [18.04.2012]Czech Republic/Slovakia brand free] and it is a lot of better now but I can't install some apps which require newer version (at least 4.1 for example) of Android like 'EpicWin - RPG style to-do list' or 'HabitRPG' (requires at least Android 3.0).

I'm not sure - maybe I will root with CF-Root with ODIN again and (as I coming from stock Samsung ROM) flash CM9 first WITHOUT Semaphore kernel and then flash KK 4.4.4 Mackay ROM 4.9.14 (5-Nov-2014) also WITHOUT Semaphore kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529461. I don't know - maybe that Semaphore kernel makes these issues/problems etc.?

I hope that KK 4.4.4 Mackay ROM has DSP Manager for better sound (Voodoo Sound as alternative is not available in Google Play from some time)

Some people has some problems with this ROM like battery drain from Google Play Services (but it can be problem not only with this ROM) but it can be fixed probably.

From what I hear 4.4.x has been real hit or miss on the SGS. I tried PAC-rom on a Galaxy S I managed to get hold of a few days and damn, that was a nightmare to use. It really struggled to even move between homescreens. Knowing kasper and how his Mackay roms have been in the past I'm sure they'd give you a better experience but still, might be worth bearing in mind.

Your best bet would be any ICS rom. Gingerbread could hold battery life like a tank at the best of times but it has bloatware and it tends to be rather sluggish at times. It's rock stable though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
As what [MENTION=4799887]Soryuu[/MENTION] posted, try Mackay ICS or any ICS rom as it seems to work well on the SGS1. If you need a decent updated rom, try Slimbean 4.2.2 or CM10.1 as I believe it wasn't as slow as android 4.3 and is more stable.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Yes, there is a noticeable impact to battery life, but since it didn't bother me that much, I kept it on the sgs. I still think Mackay ICS is the best, but I think it is feature limited compared to newer android versions (not too much of an issue though). One thing I also didn't like was the camera app on AOSP ICS, and I wasn't too big of a fan in using third party camera apps.

Hi all, after months of try&error and buying 2 (TWO!) MDAs (Wizard & Charmer) i finally found out WHY sometimes GPRS data flow stops and no incoming calls will be put throught (they land on mailbox):

It's the docking stations! Just let me explain that a little bit more: Both Wizard & Charmer will be delivered without any docking stations, so I bought two different on Ebay + one active holder from Brodit for my car.

After I put Wizard or Charmer in one of the docking station it's necessary to call 2 or 3 times until the call gets through, also in the car (Brodit), and - GPRS data flow, that means even I'm connected (2 GPRS arrows are there), stops after 2 or 3 minutes. I see that with a network monitor called Phatnet (very recommended!)

So now comes the real scurillic thing: If I use the original AC adapter from T-Mobile nothing of the above happens... GPRS data packets flow hours and hours without any breaks, and calls come through.

The docking station definitly loads the devices, but it takes longer. So here's my conclusion: The AC Adapters and the car adapter give to little current for the radio part in the devices - sounds strange, but I have no other ideas.

So now what? Try yourself please, anyone who owns Wizard or Charmer and some other AC adapters than the originals should tell here - it's easy, just put the devices in, surf a little bit for just a couple of minutes and you'll see surfing stops. It's not dependend of the loading status (orange or green led).

I tried different Rom updates, different devices and now it seems that power is the reason, really annoying. Tell us your experience!

Yours B.

Here are the links of the 2 docking stations:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wagnerb:
some additional research

Well there's some additional information I researched:

When connecting the device to the original AC adaptor it does NOT switch on the display, when connecting to the cradle it does. So the pinout of the connector must be different and Wizard/Charmer maybe (half way) believes that it has been connected to USB of a PC, but not in a defined state. Remember that my docking station IS NOT connected to a PC, it's only there for power.

Somebody maybe knows the pinout of the delivered USB sync cable and the AC adaptor?

Yours B.

Hi all, really need some expert help.

I fitted an one x + battery a week ago, and all was running ok until Wednesday. Phone locked up and wouldn't reboot. I've read as much as I can but I cant seem to find a cure.

I can enter bootloader and flash from there. I have erased cahce, flashed TWPR, but in recovery I still cannot mount sd card.

I have uninstalled and re installed HTC Sync.

Some help would be greatly received as I need the phone for work and sat nav.

I have tried running ruu, but it fails saying usb error.

I am not sure but I think I need stock recovery which will repair corrupted sd card.

Good afternoon Mr Hoffs. I. have flashed Philz recovery, erased cache. But everything I try it says unable to mount sd card, unable to mount data, unable to format/mount SD card. This happens with everything I try in all recoveries.

If so, where would I find the stock recovery.

What a way to spend a Friday evening, but I need my phone.

I get the noise when connecting my phone to laptop.

I have tried 2 cables, all usb ports. Tried cable on my old Desire and its fine

While I connect my laptop says its installing the drivers software, but then it says ' driver software was not correctly installed ' but I have also had the message that usb not recognised

Its strange that it will mount ok in fastboot.

I'm happy for more suggestions. Does the phone charge in Philz recovery, I am currently on 61%, so ok for a while.

Thanks for your help so far, hopefully we can save my One X
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
no harm in trying, give me the outcome of : fastboot getvar version-main. then i csn give at least the stock recovery. but in philz you need to enter the recovery, then hookup the usb cable and then press mount as usb mass storage. It can take a few minutes before it actually mounts and pop up in windows. So make sure to give it enough time to mount
