what to do in i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S with darky's rom and the TW launcher that came with it. The android development section has an information overload sort of theme going on for me. I wanted to know what else is to do with the phone in terms of modding. Is there a better rom that i could experiment with or maybe a script or something else entirely.
to sum it up ... i wanted to know in what ways you guys are modding your device. I appreciate the replies.
sorry for being a noob.

just look around the forum a bit... there is a host of things u can do with SGS

You must read first,giving you a couple of very good places to start...

You can start with a different launcher. TW isn't very customizable. I would suggest Launcher Pro or ADW (I personally use ADW EX). Both allow a lot more customization. But that's just for the cosmetic side of things.
Another ROM is certainly a way to try new things out. You could also use the V6 Supercharger script if you're looking for some memory tweaking. Just lurk the forums, there's plenty to do.

thanks every one ... ill try the that.
I do have a bit of a problem with the memory. I normally get 70-90mb free memory. Is that good or bad?

Free RAM is wasted RAM. Though RAM hungry apps can be an issue with the 340 MB RAM we have. Mostly games eat a lot of RAM, not an issue for everyone, not for me at least.

Try cm7 if you want an adventure and tons of performance. Or miui for a totally different feel.

I'd rather post a quick question to people who are dealing with this frequently, than trawl the web, sift through junk and install something which has lots of bugs.
Cheer up, its not all bad.
Thanks for the link.
you'll have to forgive XDA, recently it has attracted many young people that get bullied at home and school, this is a place they can come and anonymously display their e-toughness. Just ignore them.
btw, i dont think there is a sense rom that has everything working like your stock version. i hope im wrong but i was interested in rooting to use sense, in the development section i couldnt find any that didnt have disclaimers about things that arent working, so i havent gotten to try it out yet. But again, maybe im wrong, and i hope i am.
Without a criteria of what he is looking for other than good and stable it's hard to give a good answer. It's not about e-toughness, it's about searching, putting together an informative post, and reading the forum rules.
'cymru' is 100% correct. All it took was a search and reading comments about what does and does not work, then nandroid backup and try the rom and see if it passes the "good and stable" test.

WHat he said.
Sense UI has its bugs on the N1. I think LauncherPro is 100x better than Sense UI. It's just not as smooth (this is coming from experience using it on an Evo 4g)

I'd run a stable sense rom if there was one with Launcher Pro as my launcher... I want sense for the camera, calc, dialer, calander, emails etc. not the launcher. The applications on it are just way better quality!

Well there are some roms that have ported sense camera, and apps.
I do believe my "The Official" rom has them. It didn't come stock with the sense camera, but I had it installed (easy to do from spare parts, plus I have 720p recording).
The best you can do is look for a rom with those things ported over.

If it wasn't for XDA recently attracting many young people that weren't taught at home or school in how to do something for themselves once in a while they wouldn't have to come and anonymously display their e-laziness. Just shut up.

Hi guys, if the battle for whos the cleverist is now over, heres some feed back for the advice given.
I've installed, Evils q&d sensefroyo. Been running it for a few days, its cool. A little buggy, a few force closes, high battery use, no bluetooth, but very usable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
Again thanks for the input, hope this helps anyone else who was looking for similar info.
Cheers.
I tried kingxclikz and Paul's r23 roms, I must say the first one is very buggy and there are no ways to use it even for 24h(though I think it needs an eclair radio),Paul's rom is way more stable but the lack of Metamorph themes,trackball mods and BT are too important.
He promised to release a new version soon so all we can do is wait and see!
Ughh. No BT on any sense ROM then?
Is anybody even working on bluetooth for Desire roms? I don't think anybody actually is. There are a few people I think might be capable like Paul but he's busy with other things now by the looks of it

Froyo Roms which is better

I'm a bit unsteady about the 2.2 roms. Ive been watching them for a few days now to see how they are coming along, however there is more then one to watch. So which one stands above the others. Also should I jump into a Froyo rom, right now I am running syndicate.
There is another similar thread to this. Lot of people seem to like syndicate.

Honestly, unless you really need flash for something or reallllyyy want to be able to edit your dock I dont see a huge benefit at this point. In some areas ive seen more speed, and less in others.
However 2.2 does have some nice little additions, using Mammon right now because I wanted the browser, but I think just using Firon's release and flashing in the i9000 browser would be better for me, as I dont like whatever GTG something touchwiz has been added to Mammon.
Until someone actually makes a real ROM instead of just a few modifications to fit there needs and posting it, its kinda pointless to put any real serious thought into selecting between them. There isnt any huge difference.

Ahh like I said I really didnt know much about them lol.
I tried out firon's 2.2 rom and it was pretty cool but slower than stock 2.1 and very buggy even though I wiped atleast 3 times. The best thing in firon's 2.2 was that the samsung caledar defaulted appointments to g-mail's calendar, that is something that should have came from samsung/sprint. That said syndicate was an awesome rom but it had it's share of fc's and issues while web browsing and the problem with my battery only lasting 1/2 of the stock time. I ended up going back to stock.

Instead of making a whole new topic I figured I should just post in here instead. I've been wanting to switch over to froyo for a bit now, but I'm not sure which rom I want to try. Since this topic is almost a month old I was wondering if anything had really changed since and which ones are most used.

All that has changed, is that they are getting more stable. There are still multiple good choices. If you want to just see what the community is doing go to the android development forum, which is this one, and on the right click on where it says stats. That will rearrange the threads from most replys to least and i would say the thread with the most reply/views is probably the most installed/favorite for the most part. Right now the viperrom and the quantum rom are the top 2 froyo roms by thread views but acs and ee did not start making their froyo roms until recently so I imagine in a month or so they will also be very popular.
Right now I'm enjoying the Quantum ROM, but once ACS starts with their custom kernels, and does a full blown Syndicate ROM, I'll switch to that.

How do you change the dock icons. I have only been able to do this using vipers rom. Can this be donel on stock, and can you set new apps to automatically sort a-z without having to do this each time I install a new app
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Right now I am using Epic experience, so far I like it. Battery life is pretty good, pretty stable, occasionally gets some force closes. GPS is not working on most 2.2 roms. For me its not a big deal, but some people they are not happy about it.

[GUIDE] Speed Up your G2/DZ

Hi ,
I have used almost al roms for the Desire Z , many are exelent , many bad.. But no-one rom is perfect. For example you can flash CM7 , very good Rom and super fast but the visuals are not like Sense..Or you can flash for example a Sense ROM , very good visuals but not so much ram , and laggy sometimes.
So this guide is for user that want to have Sense Rom's running well , and to speed up their device.
Here there are my suggestions to help you , if your sense-rom is not fast as you want , and it's laggy.
All of this suggestion try for your own risk.
Ok let's start legit..
First of all , do not use live wallpapers , because your CPU will load to much , even if you have overclocked it.
Move your apps-games into the SDCard , in this way you will keep more possible your device "clean"
Overclock your device , alias Desire Z. You can choose between a lot of kernels , my suggest is not to overclock it more than 1.3Ghz or you will have to re-boot your phone many times. I use Unity's Kernel wich allows swap , and overclocking to 2Ghz. And i remeber , to have a clean overclocking you need free ram , or your phone will be not responsable.
Use the v6Supercharger with the option "Mega Ram 2" , this is a very good script and working , i got +30MB of ram with using this script wich is a very good solution if you have a sense-rom like me. link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I add if you use the script to not use task-killers
Swap your SDcard , honestly i do not get to much advantages with doing it , but meybe for someone will be interesting
For now this are my small suggest's , when i will have another suggestions i will update the thread
Many links:

Rom suggestion: RcMix 4.0 by NRGZ , the fastest sense-rom for now with sense 3.5
Maybe you should fix your language and your interpunction.
It makes me crazy.
Or you could use Sense 2.0 (a.k.a. Stock) until ICS is up and ready, as it has good looks AND performance.
At least that's what I did. Got sick of jumping from one ROM to another on a weekly (sometimes even daily) basis just to find one that runs smooth.
Shame, though, really love Sense 3.5.
No offence but this thread pretty useless. Mostly everybody knows about these.
Maybe you should put this in the General section so new users can know what to do.
Just my opinion.
Looks like our new mod will be doing some housekeeping pretty soon.

After trying all these awesome tips my DZ is flying!!! Like..... really flying..................
Yikes guys, take it easy on the him eh?
He's only trying to be helpful, and there are a few things I just read that I did not know beforehand.
"to have a clean overclocking you need free ram"
I have noticed that my phone does slow down when I opened/exited many apps, no matter how much I overclock it. I do resort to using a rudimentary task killer at times to free up ram on CM7. That's the only way my device becomes snappy again. Either that or reboot.
The G2 has a healthy amount of RAM, but can be overwhelmed a little easily.
And yes, our phones cannot handle live wallpapers with ease. You can notice a little lag. I guess the G2 is not as high end as I once thought it was.
I'd like to know from another source before we take the better overclocking with free ram idea as gospel.
Anyone confirm this? Not through testing - with actual facts?

It's not so much that more ram = better overclock but rather more free ram = more cached processes = less calculations needed to be done by the cpu so THEORETICALLY fast processing
It's very useful tip.. for me at least.. ..thanks man..
Same here thanks for the info
It's got some useful tips actually.
But it should probably be moved to the General section.
Thanks op.

Is Oxygen rom any good?

I've been using the SwiftDroid ASIS rom for quite a while, and i've not come across many problems with it. The only thing that actually bothers me is the amount of free ram.
I came across the Oxygen rom (by DevSwift) afew days ago and i've read quite some good comments/reveiws.
So i've come to ask the great gt540 community if i should consider switching roms, and what you like about the rom?
I understand there's similar threads like this already, but i've not managed to come to a conclusion yet. -Sorry for being noob ^_^.
I just need a decent amount of free ram to be able to play plays and stuff. Thanks
hmm play games? ... sorry for chainging your mind but SDSL v1.1 (above average fps, 3d and 2d performance scored 70+ fps on neocore, i think asis scored around 50 fps?)to me is the way to go... plus install v6 superchager helps with ram a lot
Ahh okay i'll check that out then. Thanks mate i always manage to find a helpful comment from you all the time lol.
well im feeling good now so im gonna give u ur first thanks

custom roms for arc s review

hi every one
i would like to open a thread about reviews on custom roms on ARC S
reviews made as ORDINARY USER
it is just about how you think of your device AFTER a custom rom
what you like or dislike.....
what you miss or need and didn't found ....(no need to tell how and what you do , because that's another subject)
NO NEED to post Q or BUGS or HOW TO or REQUESTS or DEEP DEVELOPER details JUST....USER OPINION!!!
AND please give credits to the developers of the ROMS by posting links to threads you found the custom rom in.
Starting form here:
Arc S with rooted GB (LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.62) and CWM installed
AtoMic GB 5.0 final (custom rom)
AtoMic Gb 5.0 Arc S patch!
Atomic mod system ui

-device working fine no lags or errors ..until now
-installing apps &games and they are working good for me
-no file manager pre-installed
-don't like ring tones
my overall opinion it is GOOD rom to try!!!:good::good:
You should use the respective Rom threads to post reveiws about romS!
edit:
allright if everyone wants it
Well I think it's a good idea for a thread that could help people in finding ROM's with features they are looking for. I dislike posting off topic so here I go:
CyanogenMod 10
+Clean
+Stable
+Fast
+Not as bloated as stock ICS
+JB notifications are useful
+Supported and actively developed
+Open source
-Camera is awful
-Ringtones could be better but who really cares?
Oh and don't take XtremeSilencer seriously he's not so bright...

The way People can find what they're looking for is by reading the ROM threads in the development section, not by reading noobs opinions on one of the many variations of a "best ROM" thread, which this is, evident by the short summary of what the OP thinks about the ROM.
I can't agree more. Which ROM is the fastest? Which kernel is best? etc. etc. It's like walking into a bar and asking which drink is the best. You can't get your answer because every person around has a personal taste and looking for something different.
Going further. Telling that one ROM is better than another is quite disrespectful to developers. Most of them spent much time making their work for FREE and one guy can easily depreciate their work.
If you're looking for answer - try. It's easy and making it on your own is much funnier than looking for spoon feeding in every situations. Thinking is fun

I can't see this as valid review, because every user is different and every user has its own needs. 2 people will not have totally same user experience on same ROM and kernel.

Actually I have an Ultimate HD of course, with Ultimate HD Mod and I like it very much.
+almost no lags
+xperia z theme
+modded statusbar (better than stock, I think)
+configurable
+quite frequent updates
-few useless system apps
Grade: 5,5 (in Poland we have grading scale from 2-5 at universities )
Previously I had used several other ROM`s, for example Viper Xpieria (good, 4,5-5), Racing Bean (not so good, 3-3,5), CyanogenMod 10 (good, 4), MIUI (good, 4), Jelly Sandwich (very good, 5, but it`s no longer developed I think) and CAMPS+ (bad, 2,5-3).
So to sum up, in my opinion the best ROM actually is Ultimate HD + Ultimate HD Mod, cause of no lagging, stability, and almost no bugs.
I've been using Custom ROMs for about 6 months. So, didn't try too many of them. The reason why I switched to custom ROM was Sony Bloatware and the slowness of official ICS ROM. What I was looking for was more internal space and get the phone up to GB speeds.
First try was CM9.
+ Easy to install, best documentation out there,
+ Good customization options,
+ Frees up load of memory,
+ The GUI doesn't lag too much
+ Fast boot-up.
- Apollo player (hated it and due to regional issues, I couldn't install Google Music),
- WiFi issues
Next I tried racing bean with Fusion 4.4
+ The GUI is much more fluid than anything I tried on my Arc,
+ Customization is on the same level as CM9,
+ Same internal storage usage as CM9,
+ Includes good players/utilities,
+ Battery life didn't shorten despite the fact that the phone became more fluid and responsive,
+ WiFi locks very fast and stable,
+ No issues with 3G,
- There are 3 camera programs included. The panaroma one doesn't even launch (force close immediately). The other two are definitely below the Sony's original camera application,
- The kernel boot takes forever. I see the Fusion logo for about 40 seconds. Once the Nexus animation starts, the boot-up goes very fast. I get the feeling that the Fusion kernel is waiting for a timeout,
- The phone reboots occasionally. Especially when GPS is used (like with dedicated navigation programs). I think when the phone is under heavy load (you feel that the GUI starts stuttering and lag becomes apparent) almost immediately the Nexus X logo comes up.
I heard good things about the Ultimate HD ROM. Will try that one once I get some free time.

Each user will have different experience with each ROM. So an opinion from a certain user about a certain ROM may differ from another user. The only way to truly find the best ROM for your phone is to try it out.

i know XDA is a developers' site it's on the TITLE..... but leaving is another thing,when i breaks a forum rule i think i will be forced to leave till that happen(if it could ever) i think i will STAY. after all WRONG or WRIHT depends on where you STAND and WHAT you are tallking about.
The NOOB-thing:
if the site admins don't LIKE noobs or don't WANT them to post they coud have made subuscrition rule that ANY ONE shoud POST some thing he actually DEVEOPED before posting
AND for GOD'S sake don't keep on posting anti-noobs or NO-use comments here...if you want it to die just wait for it....don't bother to replay..you'll just make it last longer!!!!

u should try by yourself. believe me buddy, its fun if you try by youself. This is not about how you install something that is inserted into your device, and you show people that you mostly have advanced technology. more than that comrade ... it's about development.
respect those who have tried to create a custom ROM and share it here...

Stupid Macbook Air can't fly
good room and very flixable but have 2 prob power sever axperia arc s 4.0.4 and restart phone
Best ROM's for Arc S (Stable only)
Well I don't have 10 post under my belt so I can not post on developer thread but am a hyper droid flasher. Rooted my phone the very next day and voided its warranty. Since then have used many many ROMs but only few are there to remember.
Let me just go by Droid OS versions:
1. ICS 4.0.4= Pureness ROMS, VIPER
2. JB 4.1.2 = Slim bean or Super JB
3. JB 4.2.2 = Paranod Android v3.6 (Rizal Lovins) My current ROM
