settings, accounts and sync. Deselect background data

ext4 has faster read/write

Hi, welcome to the thread!

1. I believe so.
2. Are you on froyo on gingerbread? Guide is at front page
3. flashing with Odin: using a windows software to flash rom/kernel/modem in the download mode. needs usb cable.
flashing in recovery mode: flashing modem/apps/kernels in the recovery mode. no need for usb cable.

To root gingerbread, just flash a custom kernel like cf-root/speedmod/talon/voodoo

Step is the same as with froyo: http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010...to-install.html
Once you have flashed the kernel. You will need to install superuser app from the market.

Both does the same thing. flashing by CWM is always the most preferable one as it is safer. Odin is more complicated and one can make mistake with it. There are few instances where odin is needed such as updating bootloader or flashing stock rom.

addon: anyway, good questions, updating the front page

for a more stable-ish cm7, there's insanity rom

1. insanity cm7
- build from cm7 nightlies. not updated as often as cm7 though.
- size is only 40MB+. so you can imagine many fat are stripped off
- dpi is reduced, 182 i think. so everything looks smaller
- everything feels like a tweaked cm7: cm7 + strip fat + nitrality + 182 dpi
- honestly, i am no longer following the thread so i don't know the latest development.

2. insanity 8.5
- based of JVB
- abandoned to focus on cm7

A very nice read

rain-x? wow

to lunatique, both methods above can be used. it is just that when you use ezbase 2.0, you automatically get froyo bootloader as well as cwm in one odin flash. the only downside is ezbase 2.0 download is huge!

for enaleni's steps, you must also clear cache, dalvik cache, and format /system. The latest miui might do all this automatically (need to verify) but it doesn't hurt to do it before flashing it.

It was very popular back then. But AFAIK, now nobody is using it here. Don't know why. Why don't you try it? It is known for stability.

Does the phone becomes hot prior to switch off?

Yes it remember you. You were here before you switched to DHD

Like everyone else said, it is more likely a kernel problem.

Try what has been suggested by Kenneth. Speedmod kernel is only compatible with the rom made for international version, ie i9000. If you want to use speedmod, you must flash i9000 rom.

I saw a lot of Australia users flashing i9000 roms without problems.

I agree on flashing ezbase. The simplest one odin flash to solve all flashing problems.

Try doc's kitchen for single app cwm package, or insanity 8.5 cwm package. Then open the zip, replace whatever apk in the /data folder with your thinkfree apk. Try using 7-zip software if you cannot see the folders.

Technically, jailbreaking an iOS is rooting. Like you said, many things can already be done in android without rooting compared to a non-jailbroken iOS.

- lag is unavoidable in all samsung rom. CM7 OTOH is lagless
- when you are playing game, lots of rams are being used. so naturally, your phone will lag. RAM is cleared to make way for your game. But if you too many background apps, clearing the RAM might take some time.

I used to. Depends on my mood.

- talkbox might be draining your battery as other forumers here have reported

- I once got that using htc tattoo running eclair. I searched and I found out that it is a bug in eclair. The only workaround was to do a factory reset.
- I suggest make a backup, then format /data, /system, cache, dalvik cache and then reflash miui.

- try using latest kies version
- retry upgrade
- if all else fails, ditch it and use ODIN. Upgrading using it is much faster

chainfire rocks. really!


Even if your wifi is hijacked, transaction is done securely (encrypted) with https protocol. Could be rouge app?

some points to be remembered.
- RAM are there to be used
- too many free RAM means your phone will be under-utilized
- some apps are stored in the RAM as cache. So that when you open that app, it will open instantly. Nice isn't it?
- Those cache builds up and fills in your RAM
- Thus it appears as if there are very little free RAM available. But that doesn't matter because you'll attain quick app loading time.
- When you are opening an app that is not in the cache but with little RAM is free, cached apps will be cleared automatically to make way for the app you are opening now. There might be a slight lag at this instance.
- Sometimes android OS RAM management might not be good, or it is samsung's setting. Thus we use Autokiller app to adjust this setting. I used Moderate profile for this.

Thus,
- Never use task killer programs to clear the RAM. You will always feel lag later on because the phone will be loading the app into cache again. Why don't we just leave it in the cache?
- Furthermore, there are some apps that will automatically re-open after you clear the RAM. Thus, increasing cpu cycles.

tldr;
1. Use autokiller if you feel lag
2. Don't use task killer apps.

feel free to correct me

see first page for backup instructions.

I love it.

Really? I'm on cm7 #57 with stock kernel : 7hrs idle with wifi on, dropped to 90% only. But I have experienced random reboot twice in the past 3 days.

- From 16GB, you got 2GB apps storage, 13GB for you photos, movies, 1GB is reserved.
- phone memory = internal memory
- those app you downloaded goes into your 2GB partition
- it won't lag when saved into it.
- If you move it into external sdcard, apps will be slower because microsd card are nowhere near the speed of the internal sdcard.

Added on July 17, 2011, 4:23 pmthat doesn't seem normal.

- which firmware are you on?
- wifi/gps/bluetooth on?
- any background apps? see settings > Running services. please list down what you have.

which one? The link at front page is the same as icejoker has given.

If battery life is important, don't flash CM7/Miui just yet.

I've been hearing good reviews on ginger real with galaxian kernel. Anybody know how it compares with Doc's rom? Can we finally recommend a good gingerbread rom?

Yes you can

The buildbot (mindless computer) will continue building ROM everyday even if there are no changes.

Try a reflash in recovery mode. if not, format /system /data, clear cache & dalvik cache and reflash.
