Hello guys !
it's been two days now that i received my Wonder , and i've been noticing lags in 3D games like temple run and gt racing ! and even the app drawer doesn't run smooth for a 1.4 Ghz phone ! So Any ideas guys ?
im curently runing stock 2.3.6 with I8150XXKL3 base band !
thanks in advance !
HEYYYY these are the steps you need to take to make your phone madly fast like mine.
-STOCK LAUNCHER is horrible change it to "Go launcher" or Something else trust me thats very important.
-Go launcher is good if you have the ice cream sandwich theme with it to make your phone look nicer.
-Also dont supercharge script because it makes the phone more unstable.
-No custom Roms, keep stock because is very stable.
-You need to root it.
-Add in clockwork recovery mod
-Flash the xxml8 Kernel for better battery life and 3d games
-You need SetCpu or something like it to force your phone to be always 1.4ghz if you want.
Say 245mhz-768mhz when screen off
Then 245mhz-1400mhz screen on this will make your battery last longer by up to 3+ hours.

Good advice, I'd just like to add a few bits:
-The V6 supercharger script (from RC8+) is very stable and makes the stock ROM and stock launcher fluid, not unstable. Installing a 3rd party launcher will not fix memory management problems in stock ROM and will also lag over time.
-YES root the phone and uninstall all the bloatware apps from Samsung. This will free up memory making the phone faster.
-While I've never used the XXLM8 kernel for gaming, I do know gaming is far superior on Arco's CM9. If you care more about gaming but don't need a working camera urgently consider flashing CM9. In any case as a new user, spend time to flash CWM 5 and make a full backup before flashing any kernel or custom ROM.

of course the stock rom lags!! Use cyanogenmod 9 for galaxy wonder!! It never lags
Thanks to all of you !
Right now the only thing that stoped me from rooting is that i dont have any experience and it looks to me a bit complicated .
So what is the most simple way to do it ? Also i didnt want to flash cm9 because the camera is important for me , and i want to know what's the best rom with minor problems ?
Thanks again guys for ur effort

Let me help you
Now first of all. Rooting isn't complicated at all, you will be going to google and search: "how to root samsung galaxy w recovery mode", then you'll find a random website with instructions and the links,
1)after you have downloaded the zip file for rooting, put it into internal sd card, turn off phone, boot into recovery mode (volume up+home+power button)
when samsung logo appears, release power button, hold the rest of them, wait until a box and an android comes out, the press "option" button. Screen grays out and wait until recovery menu appears
2) choose install zip from sd card (navigate using volume up and down, home button as confirm/selection) then choose the zip file you have downloaded. Wait until it finishes, then reboot phone, you are rooted.
If you wanna flash a rom without increasing the count in download mode, using clockworkmod recovery, you'll need to go to google again, search how to install clockworkmod 5 on samsung galaxy w, choose a random link with instructions. Follow them, you'll need ODIN downloader and the ops files and the clockworkmod 5 file, they will be included in your download links you find. Follow their instructions, if it stays on setting up connection with phone while flashing cwm 5, close the ODIN, turn off phone, go to download mode again, use another USB port and try flashing cwm again, it happened to me once, and now it works
cwm is for flashing different mod and roms, you need it for everything. But flashing cwm cannot unroot afterwards, you'll not be able to use the unroot zip to unroot as cwm is installed, you will lose your warranty. Think twice before acting.
disclaimer: The above instructions are simply advice, if they cause any damage to your phone, for example brick, or whatever damage, I am not responsible.

if you don't want to flash cm9 because of its camera problem, you can try Rebel Rom 3.0 first, it is very alike with android 4.0, but still gb of course.
But the camera problem in cm9 is somehow repaired, not totally, it is still very broken and buggy, and it's still not good.
BTW, remember to back up your current rom before flashing anything, but you can back up nothing before flashing cwm5, that's why you lose your warranty. You can choose to flash stock rom back afterwards. I have personally not tried this, as this solution has a risk of bricking too...so better not restore stock rom back.
Hey dude. Grats on ur phone
here is what I did to get rid of the lag.
1- root
2- install busybox
3- run v6 supercharger
The phone will be lag free after that even with "touchwiz" launcher. And will remain stable since custom roms while giving great performence, made my phone unstable
Have fun

Hi fayosi,
can I flash xxlm8 kernel with Bionic Cow 2 ?
Or the cow kernel is good enough?
Hi to all,
Since i've updated my Arc S to ICS 4.0.4 (official update), it keeps freezing all the time and sometimes i have to remove the battery and switch it back on. This happens also after a full wipe. I also unlocked the bootloader and flashed the DoomKernel and JJ's Hybrid Rom and now my Arc s goes fantastic smooth but still it keeps freezing. Basically when i'm using it blocks and wont unfreeze. This does not happen with Gingerbread..
Is this a kernel related problem? What should i do? I've already wiped and format my phone many times with no result. ICS in general presents this issue...should i try an other ROM or Kernel? Underclock my processor? Any ideas? It's really frustrating
I would suspect it's kernel related, DoomLord has yet to update his kernel for 431. I've not had one freeze on stock ICS with ArcKnight kernel.

ok i'll try to flash ArcKnight kernel and see what happens, i'll post if i can fix
Ok, i've been using Arcknight kernel for 2 days, it's not as smooth as DoomKernel but at least hasn't freez yet. Is there any way to improve my Arc S performance?

You could try to remove Sony bloatware. Use 'Es file explorer' for example to create a folder in your SD Card, get into Apps folder, inside System folder, and select everything you don´t use and copy them to the folder you have created (just to have a backup in case you remove something the phone really needs). After copying, you can delete them from system folder.
After removing bloatware from my phone, which runs stock ics with stock kernel and with processor running between 133mhz to 1024 mhz, it runs a lot better and battery always lasts from 24 to 48 hours with no freezes and no restarts. (I have had some problems long ago with dolphin browser always closing due to low ram in my phone, but nowadays I use boat or stock browser and usually watch for my phone´s memory through Es Task Killer)
Also, enter into 'leds' folder in your system and edit it so the backlight buttons won´t turn on. That saves even more juice in your phone.
Don´t be perfeccionist with your phone. As the time goes passing, surely it´s going to become weaker to new software releases.
And no way ICS is going to run smoother than Gingerbread, but no way also Gingerbread will have all the ornaments ICS has.
Remember: I´m not telling you what to do with your phone, I´m just suggesting that with a little bit of curiosity and customization (and not necessarily unlocking bootloaders or flashing other roms) you can make things work closer to the way you expect your phone to.
The best advice someone could give you here is: search! (hehe) The more you read, the more you´ll know.
Best regards...

Hello guys.As you all know we won't be getting official JB from sony,i want to try other JB rom for my xperia arc.It's bootloader is locked and i don't want to unlock it now(my bootloader can be unlocked,i checked the info).So what's the best JB for now?
I have my xperia arc on official ony ICS which is supercharged and lots of other modes but it still lags sometime,hangs when using browsers,games and other multitasking.The RAM is always low like 90-100 after some apps uses.So i wan to try JB as it may be faster than current ICS.

JB's rom have less ram than ICS and also u need to unlock your bootloader cause only FXP based kernel works with JB
Jb requires a different kernel so you can't install it in locked bootloader.
You can try a jelly sandwich which give the look of jb but not fully jelly bean power.
I think you should wait for jb to be fully stable then unlock the bootloader to feel full taste of jb.

JB is fully stable mate....

why should there be less free ram?

same reason why ICS use more ram than GB, to make everything faster, it use more resource.
Also FXP still have to finish the CM10 so they have to optimize Ram usage.
Supercharger is the thing causing your fc's and terible lag. Get rid of it. Restore to factory do everything you would usually do excluding the supercharger its not needed anymore as the problems like homescreen redraws are now fixed in 587. I was having the exact same problems as you mate its supercharger, no doubts about it. Do a nandroid backup first restore to stock, restore your programs with titanium and test for lag and fc's.
Alternatively before doing a factory reset try unsupercharging then booting into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache partition and see if that sorts it before restoring.

then your os is setup incorrectly the screen redraw problem has been fixed so i reckon its an app on your phone causing it. If your not using stock launcher its most likely your third party launcher, Give me your phone id set it up correctly without supercharger and with nothing fcing ever. My tip is irrelevant if your using a custom rom and a third party launcher as thats the problem custom roms need to be supercharged really as they suck.

I also think i started having lags after supercharger.I was very annoyed by home app redraw so i supercharged it.app redraw problem was gone but RAM seems to be low all the time and my games(even 2D sometime) started lagging.Are you 100% sure .587 has no app redraw problem.I hread 587 has only some minor changes like baseband etc.I am in .431 so i think i will flash .587(as i have O2 version which didn't get ICS )
Also isn't CM10 fully working?Do i have to flash another kernel and unlock bootloader for this.I heard flashing kernel and unlocking bootloader can break phones?

100% mate. Just make sure to use stock launcher yes the folders are a bit boring compared to 3rd party but it’s stable. Also task managers can’t kill my launcher on 587 nor my keyboard nor my systemui. These 3 apps stay open constantly. Also the contacts, dialler and messaging apps now stays active in memory and not exiting like it used to. They all stay up no matter what (first three not the last three). All of the problems I was having after installing ics stopped when I upgraded to 587 the memory management is much better.
Also don't use task managers to kill programs let android manage the ram. Install a program called watchdog and set it to aggressive mode you can then track down what program if any are unstable and then use autolaunches to stop the badly coded program from booting if you cant 100% live without said program.
Good article on this here
http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
After making allot of configurations to the phone such as installing or uninstalling lots of programs clear the dalvik cache and cache partition with cwm say once a month.
Just do a backup and a simple test upgrade to 587 restore your apps, install some games and test for lag also install advanced task killer and try killing the launcher. The lag in games was the same for me as well with supercharger with exception to all of them crashing during load or 5 minutes after loading. Supercharger cause me so many ****ing headaches and it took me ages to work out what it was.
I agree btw on releases before 587 I was having a lot of problems that 587 sorted. I was really close to buying another phone but 587 sorted my phone out. Also stay away from unlocking the bootloader. You will try lots of different ROMs and come to the conclusion that there all ****e. They all have some bugs or lots of bugs. The only time that would be worth looking at is maybe when jb is released.
I personally unlocked by bootloader and had custom ROMs on it. The phone completely died a couple of months later. I looked after my phone never dropped it ever, It may be related which I personally believe but then again it might not which I doubt. Root the phone, stay on stock and use watchdog to track down badly coded programs. Tracking down the **** programs and getting rid of them will do more for your phones performance that any build.prop tweak you can think of and if you can’t live without the badly coded program you can just use autostarts to stop it auto launching and to only launch when you do it yourself
I also disagree on the minor changes front if it wasn’t for 587 I would be out of pocket by about £700 as I was so close to buying an iphone. 587 definitely sorted the memory management out for me.
For more ram I used swapper,only works on 587,no more lag...I played asphalt 7 and wild blood very smooth,just use the last andreno software...

hi guys, i hope this is right, and makes sense, here goes:
i am trying to install markphyton's stock ics for xperia play from here , following all of the instructions, with the lupus kernel v8.
after several attempts, i did some extra searching, and decided to format the data, cache and system partitions prior to install, as well as wiping the dalvik cache, and the cache, and doing a factory reset in CWM recovery. then i installed the rom above, and then installed the wifi modules for the lupus kernel. then i reboot. i get a message from recovery asking if i want to fix root, because it may have been lost. if i pick either yes or no, it reboots.
after reboot i get a blank screen, with the icons inside the notification bar visible. the bar also moves when i tilt the phone, and when i slide out the controls, but it cannot be dragged down, or interacted with in any way.
also, i can hear and feel (through haptic feedback) that when i tap the screen, there are buttons being pushed, and things happening, but cannot see anything besides the notification icons. the screen will lock, but upon pressing the power/lock key, the only thing on the screen is the aforementioned notification icons (if i fix root i get a usb plug, battery, time, a signal bar with no signal, and a small android figure. if i decide not to fix root, i lose the little android, and gain a no-sd card symbol).
luckily i have a backup of my cm 9.1.0, but this has its own problems (VERY laggy on anything other than home screen, app drawer and apps are very slow to open. also after going into silent mode once, and returning to normal mode, most interface sounds are gone, as well as facebook updates).
any help is greatly appreciated.

after trying this, every rom is now listed as bad in cwn, i have tried to flash a new bootloader with no luck. i tried re-flashing the bootloader that comes with the cm-9.1.0-zeus file, and the bootloader works, but every rom/backup that i try to flash, it tells me that the file is bad, or has an md5 mismatch. so im going to open a new thread, to try and bring it back.

I tried to write on the original thread but as i've never posted before I wasn't aloud, here's my problem;
I have an R800i GSM (pretty sure) and i've previously installed CM9 and had no problems whatsoever, but after i noticed a couple of things that annoyed me (lock screen and proximity sensor) I decided to try NXT ICS Xplay 4.1.B.0.587, I installed LuPus kernal, i followed the exact install instructions on the original thread word by word, but i've got bootloop. I have no idea what i could have possibly done wrong, maybe the problem is because i had CM9 installed first?

These are the steps that I made for a clean installation and perfect. (For Xperia Play GSM) and so far not given me any problems.
1) Flash Firmware (62) Via FlashTool. (you can test after firmware flash (62) flash firmware that left attached, which increases the internal memory to 420 mb) (untested by me) (remember to erase the extension (.txt)
2) Allow full boot, then shut down and flash some of these kernels.
Advanced Stock: Better battery life, but less performance.
Lupus Kernel v11 (480p): Record video with less quality, but increases by 30 mb ram.
Lupus Kernel v11 (720): The opposite previous kernel.
Doomkernel ICS Beta v03: Performance & Battery Life (Balanced)
3) Then turn, enter CWM mode:
In Lupus Kernel: Pressing the R1, to vibrate the phone in the boot logo.
Doomkernel or Advanced In Stock: precionar back button, to vibrate the phone in boot logo,
4) Then do (Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache & Format System (Mount & Storage)
5) Flash Rom ICS Markphyton (Part 1 nothing else) because many users have reported several bug after installing NXT features.
6) Turn on and ready to enjoy android 4.0.4. : D
I had the exact same, it kept booting after showing the lupus load screen. The tutorial isn't really clear but you have to press the "back" button after the phone vibrates after booting, to get into the lupus recovery menu. It took me a few attempts of pushing on the back button while booting before I got in.
