thanks Alex.

if it's not caused by those, i am gonna need logcat to be able to help to diagnose that fattchoi...

Ya, someone reported that, I removed the BuddiesNow.apk from V4 ROM. Safe to be removed using Root Explorer as well. Maintaining a ROM is a lot of work! I actually prefer to spend more time tweaking the kernel

Done testing OnDemandX for 24 hours. Consumed 20% battery in a day of light use... A little better than SmartAssV2.

SmartAssV2 - 24 hours = 100%-78% = 22% battery
OnDemandX - 24 hours = 100%-80% = 20% battery

Both these CPU governor should save battery better than default OnDemand since they both implemented the Early Suspend API, which allow the phone to be switch to power saving immediately after user press screen off, etc. The result will be more visible (compare to default OnDemand) if there are many screen on/off in the session (I think).

I am gonna include these 2 CPU governor in the next ROM / Kernel release. Will let user to chose the one they prefer. Am considering may be I should include MinMax as well.

As I recommended in the first page of my ROM:

"Recommend to use SetCPU set your default speed to 1.4Ghz. Adjust to 1.8Ghz only when necessary. Also it is recommended to set a Profile that will lower the speed in temp > 50C, you know, just in case."

The way I use it, I always set it to 1.4ghz. Only rare occasion I set to 1.8ghz, for a short while.

2. The low memory killers has been adjusted to be more aggressive.

3. 2 minutes to clear RAM? LOL, look like this is a world record. Without logcat, I can't diagnose it.

Default is 1.4ghz until you change it

About the memory killer, you can change that using V6 Supercharger if you dont want it to be too aggressive.

Great!!! I hope admin can put this in first page of this forum since many in this forum reported FC and all while using my ROM. I don't get many FC report in XDA forum, but I know people has been using it cause my download (in MediaFire - just check) 386 for the new ROM

I hope to reply any questions about my ROM, but have been busy testing new stuff (other than new governor). Here is some glimpse: Memory usage 103mb, available 353mb. Total free = 250mb!

Added on February 8, 2012, 12:10 pmJust install a new launcher, and delete /system/app/org.zeam-1.apk

Some people managed to solve the problem by NOT restoring any app / contact. Install new app. Contact, sync with goolge contact, etc. I don't recommend restoring app (using Titanium or not) because the new ROM swap your internal / external SD. there could be problem. for that matter, if you start getting crash and all, best you format / clear both your internal / external sd card before flashing.

in short, if you follow everything documented here, but still has FC, you still have 2 options:

1) Provide me the logcat where I can diagnose it:
- connect phone to notebook
- adb logcat > log.txt
- do something on the phone to cause FC
- in notebook Task Manager, kill all adb processes
- PM me the log.txt

2) Restore back to stock ROM. I think this is most stable

Hmm.. interesting. Can you provide logcat so I can check?

- connect phone to notebook
- adb logcat > log.txt
- do something on the phone to cause the error (ask friend to send u sms lar)
- in notebook Task Manager, kill all adb processes
- PM me the log.txt

Same for anyone getting error / FC, without some details, it's hard for me to check what's going on.

what not capable? i think u may got the wrong info. SGW is definitely capable. the only 'excuse' samsung given is that the ROM has not enough space for ICS. this is totally BS. having built some custom ROM myself, i know this is totally BS.

ICS can run on Galaxy W. CM9 will prove it.

Added on February 10, 2012, 10:45 amJuicy news! Thanks. I really like this:

"And I'll tell you right away, ICS on a device having a GPU is sooo much better than on a device without it."

He is talking about our SGW ^o^ I checked his github, he fixed the Headphone issue already. ^^

u hafta ask yourself: do u feel adventurous? ^o^

if yes, be prepared for bumpy ride! you may make mistake, stuck somewhere, but trying out new stuff and ideas give you more experiences. you will love you SGW even more

+1 experience

kezra v4 is a good choice! but, step by step, root first... get ClockWorkMod first...

This post has been edited by cowithgun: Feb 10 2012, 11:21 AM

ClockWorkMod replace your "recovery" partition. Every smart phone has a recovery partition. Something bad happen, you can press the magic key, code inside the recovery partition will execute. Usually used to restore the phone back to factory setting.

Once you follow the process to replace the default "recovery" partition, whenever you press that magic key, ClockWorkMod will start. Developer added functionality in CWM so that you can format phone, install custom ROM, etc.

Un? Heheh

you seem quite confused about rooting and recovery.

root = get admin access in your phone. u can root by:
1) running exploit such as zergrush, may not work in your phone is fully udated
2) flash the recovery partition using Odin. should always work regardless if your phone is updated. but installing CWM only first step. you are not getting ROOT yet. you still need to use CWM to install a custom ROM / kernel that will root the phone for you.

so, usually installing CWM is normally quite safe. no need to backup anything. wont change your app. (but i did backup my original recovery partition just in case if wanna claim warranty or anything)

once u use CWM to install custom ROM, this is the part that will drastically change your phone OS and app. that is why, before you install any custom ROM, you are always reminded to use CWM to do a full backup on your phone. the built-in backup and restore in CWM will do that for you.

Added on February 10, 2012, 11:50 amwithout them, very hard to install custom ROM. moreover, they are good because if anything goes wrong, can use them to restore the phone.

Added on February 10, 2012, 11:52 amaiyoyoyoy!!! did u read my previous post to you? got the logcat? if not, how can i help u ler???

where is the link? need to read to know more. but for SGW, you only got RZRecovery and ClockWorkMod, no other choice!

KezraPlane is the first person to create a custom ROM for SGW (as far as I know). his ROM is already version 4, many claim it is very stable. worth a try.

My ROM? some got it working, some has problems. if not working for you, move on! there are other quality ROM. but what my ROM offer that no other ROM can offer (at the moment):

1. fastest - 1.8ghz
2. most memory - 353mb
3. lowest memory usage - 103mb (this is vary depending on usage)
4. Undervolting - save more battery
5. CPU governors - OnDemandX and SmartAssV2 - more responsive and save more battery.

i am adding zram option soon too. will allow you to use compressed ramdrive, in short:

more memory in expense of CPU cycles

there are many drastic changes in my ROM and kernel, but i only has 1 phone and use free time to do this. so, dont expect it to be more stable than stock ROM.

anyway, for u, u root first lar...
