Fast but laggy

It's weird. This ROM is quite fast in terms of basic function, e.g. phone, internet, messaging, email, etc, but very laggy in simple game just like 2048. Not sure why.

Unfortunately there is no OC option in this ROM. I kinda miss it because in SlimKat I always used 120% Live OC without any issue at all (including SOD).

Somehow I was torn between these 2: I always wanted to have the latest ROM around just like SlimROM but after KitKat the phone was just slowed down tremendously. But in this Mackay CM9, it was considerably fast but not for all application.

Any idea how to play with the OC in this ROM?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xkons:
There is an OC option! When you scroll to the bottom in the settings (preferences, don't know which one it is in english android) there should be a "Performance" option right above the device info option. There, you can OC :)

Thats strange, I sometimes play Candy Crush, and most ROMs hate it, often getting lags and also the toast notification of the game not responding, and whether I want to "wait , close or report".... but with this ROM straight out of the box with no tweaks, no problem! EVER.

I am now trying Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 8 stable for a change . With the Semaphore I started to get the lags. However with Devil kernel and 395 MB setting its great (but just falls short of this ROM for snappiness) but a very close second place for my needs.

Spoof MAC

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to Spoof MAC with this ROM, but failed with all the guides on the said thread.

Do you think we need a specifically compiled kernel to have this feature/capability like what it says on this thread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] epicboy:
Hello. I have a Samsung vibrant. I currently have slim ics on it and it's very laggy. I think it's a datadata partition problem. Does this Rom have that same problem? Can I port this Rom privately for myself without need of developer permission?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
This ROM isn't laggy at all, in opposite. Our developer has open source project so if you credit him, probably is no problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] epicboy:
Do you know if the problem with the lag is a problem with the vibrant, because I tried an ics Rom on my epic and it ran very smoothly. But thata casewith my vibrant.

Testing this rom now and it seems awesomely fast!

I was using KK for so long that I had forgotten how fast this phone can be! :good:

I'm now searching for a bootanimation, because the one included is horrible eheh :laugh:

I used your other roms too (JB/KK) so thank you for all your hard work kasper_h!

Any suggestion about kernels? I need one with fast charge.

There's a significant slow down after around 3 days of usage. A lot of apps were starting to restart, especially Google services. Is it supposed to be like this? I purposely didn't restart the phone to know how stable it is in a long run.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joedom1:
I dont have this problem. I have about 95-100 apps. When installeed the first time I went back to stock with ODIN, re-rooted and straight in to this ROM. No Xposed no different themes, no Greenify, just as it comes out of the box.

Probably had a moment when there was a slowdown for a few minutes at some point but it fixed itself.

I have rebooted though occasionally but mainly to change battery or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
I never had any slowdowns, I'm since February on this ROM, it is the fastest I ever had. It will remain installed on my i9000

129 apps ATM, I think.

Do you have iNand or MoviNand? Considering switching from SlimKat stable but it seems everything runs slower than the xda reports on my own (MoviNand) i9000. I'd rather not go through the trouble if it isn't going to be a very significant change with my slow nand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joedom1:
I have the faster one (can never remember which one is which but i remember checking once) -

Security

What about security issue? CM9 was abandoned 2 years ago. Few security problem like Master Key discovered after that. Old CM build not updated even if security reason. Are users of these rom in danger?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
As the stock kernel of this ROM is an up-to-date 3.0.101 version, it should actually contain the Master Key security patch.

I didn't check, I must admit that I really don't care so much about that as long as it can't make my phone fly away off my pocket.

IDK, as I can't open file content of my /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name so no idea if it starts with "s" or "m".

Yet, this ROM is even faster than SlimKat on my phone. I was running SlimKat with Mackay Kernel 0.609 until the release in February. I miss Real Dark Slim mode, but nothing else.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thyaguster:
Thanks, going to search for that one.

I have MoviNand and didn't have any slow downs ever.

I did have some fcs on some google services as reported by someone a few posts back though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joedom1:
:confused: You cannot open the file right at the end? Presumably you tried open as Text File and then HTMLviewer or some text editor? Mine is SEM08G so the fast one.

I too miss the dark mode in Slim... I went back to Slim Bean 4.2.2 for a couple weeks, but will reload this ROM this weekend again as I need the sharpness when moving around.. but as an alternative for dark this works:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/cm10-aokp-holo-series-12-colors-t1864549

It says CM10 but it goes in.... havent tried it for a long period of time so not sure about stability.

The Stock Blue colour pretty much keeps thing in line with the Rom´s character. (ICS ). There are also Dark Gapps around for ICS.

I am also going to test Xblast tools (xposed framework) as there are some nice things in there. Just to change and test how it goes.

I also tried Android Keyboard from the plastore as I wanted the easy switch button between languages (Spanish and English for me) and it too works well (you have to disable the stock one).

I´ll report next week on the themes etc. Try and get a nice little community and following with this excellent ROM. Im so used to things normally NOT working until now..... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xkons:
Oh wow this sounds terrible! I actually did come from 4.4 to this ROM and flashed JVU before Mackay ICS... no pit and no brick. Why is this? Also could you link me the optimum stock firmware which I should use when I revert to gingerbread for starting clean? thanks :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=4433736]xkons[/MENTION] any stock firmware should work. Good there are no damages, mate :) Your JVU is kind of state-of-the-art stock firmware as only JVU and JVZ contain the GB bootloader, which is the latest original Samsung's bootloader for i9000

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xkons:
So should I just continue using that but flash it with a .pit file in the future? Where do I get the .pit for JVU?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
If it worked fine without pit, it may have been included in the pda file? Then a separate pit may not be required next time. But in principle it is best to always use a pit file, as you may end up in difficulties if no pit is used and no pit is included.

Two small problems

Hi!

I rooted a friend's I9000 and put your Mackay CM9 to it because of stability, performance and energy consumption reason.

So far it runs very smooth and stable and i am not disappointed.

I installed from stock GB to original CM9 and then to your Mackay CM9.

I did this without sim card and after putting my friends in it immediately broke the IMEI.

#

We dirty-flashed the rom again and IMEI came back.

I discovered two small problems:

The gallery app icon was there but not the app itself. So I extracted the gallery app from the original CM9

and put it to the M_CM9. Now it works.

CM9 original app is much smaller than your app. Maybe wrong version?

Second thing: I did not find a file browser. Had to use one from the Playstore but finally settled for the ICS port

of the CMfileManager which can be found somewhere here on xda.

Just my two remarks. If you have got the time and will maybe you'd advise me on the topics mentioned.

Best regards,

Frank

(After fiddling around with all those 4.4 roms like OMNI, CM11 and your 4.4 as well i begin wondering if i should get rid

of that bling-bling and instead better have this ICS stuff and run my own I9000 for good).:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=5831791]fa-schmidt[/MENTION] the gallery appears after reboot. IDK why. You can use app Root Browser from play store, excellent file explorer.

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
1. Like mentioned, Gallery pops up after reboot. Gallery & Camera are combined in one APK and it seems you need to try and activate it, reboot to get it to work. I have no idea why.

2. CMFilemanager does not work on ICS, it needs at least jellybean. So I decided to not add any file manager. Root explorer is my own favourite (but not free) file manager. But I will never include a precompiled app from Play Store.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Thanks for the input.

This:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982918

is a CMFilemanager port working indeed on your ICS ROM.

Root Explorer is nice as well :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:

Tried to install this today and couldnt, says i cant install the zip file... Was changing from 4.4.2 with full wipe/factory reset. Anyone knows why? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pitreq:
@up: You can try the safe way and go back to the 2.3.6 stock XWJVZ e.g., then root it with Semaphore or CF-Root GB Kernel and install directly from CWM. Going back from KK to ICS is very problematic. From GB - no problems at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] astrosp4c3:
I have noticed that doing this procedure from KK to ICS didn't give me any problem:

1) Downgrade to JB4.3 (Installing first the kernel)

2) Downgrade to any JB 4.1.2

3) Flashing ICS kernel (any of them is good) and then this rom.

I tried twice without problems.

I would like to perform a "super-clean" flash of this rom which I want to keep for good. As I havent flashed for years, is there any step-by-step list (incl. all needed files) how to flash this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
What I would do:

-Make backup of essential sdcard-files

-Wipe /sdcard

-Flash stock JVU with Odin (files needed can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434225 -> section Upgrading (from Eclair or Froyo) or downgrading (from ICS, JBean or KK) to Gingerbread (Stock ROM))

-Flash a kernel that contains CWM (e.g. CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS, also mentioned in post above)

-Flash Mackay CM9

-Flash ICS-gapps

-Done

The reason to wipe sdcard is that quite a few apps store data there as well. Do wiping sdcard will clean to the max :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milanf:
Kasper, thanks! the Rom works perfectly!

Just two questions, is it possible to change the boot animation to a stock one? (or any other "samsung neutral"?)

Also, is it possible to replace TeamWin Recovery Project by the classic CWM?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limnaln:
If you want a new bootanimation just search for it and look for hdpi one. When you've downloaded it make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and use any root explorer to replace the mackay one in /system/media.

If you want CWM just flash another kernel for 4.0.4, they all have CWM except Mackay's recovery which you're running now.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
First animation (orange android) is kernel animation. Recovery is also part of the kernel partition on i9000. So if you prefer CWM (I honestly don't get it why) you can flash any other ICS kernel with CWM recovery, just like [MENTION=5328280]limnaln[/MENTION] already wrote you. That way you will get rid of TWRP- and also of the kernel animation. BTW, no other ICS kernel is as fast as stock kernel of this ROM. Among other custom kernels the fastest one is Semaphore 1.3.0 and it has about 90% slower performance. It has Semaphore CWM recovery.

The actual boot animation (orange flame and Mackay Rom letters) can easily be replaced from /system/media folder. The new animation must be in compatible format and must have same permissions, otherwise the screen will be black, or the phone won't boot at all.

It runs very well indeed even with lots of apps and battery is great. I'm almost tempted not to flash anything else. Many thanks for this great addition to the Galaxy S!

[MENTION=2061554]dimomnia[/MENTION] the latest stock Gingerbread bootloader for i9000 is a must for this rom to work, or even boot. As only stock JVU and JVZ have contained the GB bootloader, it is utterly important to have flashed one of those at some point. Maybe that was the problem?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
JW5 has no Gingerbread bootloader in the package. JW9 is the latest stock GB (there is unbranded FW version of it on sammobile.com for Great Britain) and works excellent if JVU or JVZ was previously installed.

If your phone was delivered with Froyo, it might still be on Froyo bootloader. Even CyanogenMod 10.2 works still fine with it, but CM11 no more. This ROM here also needs Gingerbread bootloader.

This is truely a great ROM! Unfortunatly I can't resist the feel of KatKat and have settled for the nexr best OmniROM. With Mackay you can run a heap of background apps without to much trouble, and its very quick and snappy. It just feels kinda outdated. Unfornutaley on KitKat you need to keep your background processes to a limit or the system bogs down. If I end up needing more I may come back to this again.
