QUOTE(Crossover @ Jan 28 2012, 11:11 AM) try this. well in that case then could u recommend a good, well balanced custom gingerbread rom?1) take out the battery, then put in back 2) vol up + home + start button to get into recovery mode 3) wipe data 4) then restart this should solve ur problem. But if have not back up ur datas before upgrade, then u will lost all ur data after doing the above steps. With ur situation, loosing data is the only way to get ur phone back alive. Added on January 28, 2012, 11:13 am If stock 2.2 is ok for u, u may continue using it Stable ICS, well, that will be a long long time... as there will not be an official ICS for SGS.  i used csl mi-300 previously n custom roms could really make the phone improve by 2 - 3 folds! |

QUOTE(MYstombox @ Jan 28 2012, 11:06 PM) I suggest not updating via kies. alright i shall try my hands on custom 2.3 rom using odin for now then..Rather download the ROM and update via ODIN, much faster. Personally the stock roms have issues in terms of lag. Once I went via CM7, it was a much more enjoyable experience. how long would the whole process take assuming everything goes well? got class from mrng till evening tmrw  Added on January 28, 2012, 11:18 pmwhat about browsers bro? i've used opera mini for its smoothness for my old phone bcuz of hardware limitation any other better, easier to use browser that galaxy S can handle?

i have a quick noob question here, how do i fix the lag by just a few clicks? will probably flash my phone to other roms some time next month but for now i just want it to be slightly smoother, the lag can be super annoying at times! |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Feb 1 2012, 08:50 AM) im on JVU + Semaphore + ThunderBolt~ our SGS has 2GB of ROM.... its quite impossible to fill in... your referring to RAM is it?  QUOTE(MYstombox @ Feb 1 2012, 08:57 AM) 20mb of system ram will not lag the system. system rom, mines like 21mb free outta 300mb or smthg..If you like ASOP android, I suggest flashing to CM7 over any stock rom variants. After testing out stock roms for a long time, I find CM7 is smoother in terms of UI and faster in terms of app loading. hmm what's asop rom? anyway I'm looking for smthg smooth, fast n good battery life, smthg balanced laa =P |
