Over clock - Nope! There was a 1Ghz kernel by Maroc-os but it was laggy and a 900Mhz one but it was a beta.
Chainfire3D - Download from Google Play.
Chainfire3D Plugins - Search on Google.
Typed with SwiftKey 3 using XDA Premium on my GT-S5360

Hmm.. ok but i have a better performance with 900mhz or no difference? how i do that?
i using chainfire 3d 2.8 plugin qualcomm
but my fruit ninja is not very good... have a small lag
but in my galaxy 5 is more fast
what is a better kernel for games?

You should try repencis kernel. It is very good kernel with many features available. If you want to gaming, use repencis kernel along with performance or smartass v2 cpu governor, chainfire 3d and swapper to play games smooth. I use those combination to play fruit ninja no lag at all.

Thank you i will try that,
but i think before i do a thing wrong....
when i flashed merruk, i install ext4.zip, and in CWM i choose EXT Size 256 and Swap Size 128mb, wipe data, nothing happens after that.. but i think have something wrong... where i found a tutorial about that? i can't found
and i wanna install my programs in SDCard what is the better way to do that?
my system folder are 97% used!

About the merruk kernel, I'm not really sure where you can find the tutorial. I don't pay attention on it since repencis kernel released, plus it got busybox issue which not fix until now.
If you want to install apps to sdcard, try install manager or rom toolbox lite, you can search both of these apps in google play store. Or you can use repencis rom which have built in apps install location.But not all apps can install in sdcard. I found those method are more easier than using ext partition or a2sd.

Hey is veryyy better now, =D no lag,
repencis 3.5
format ext3 by MiniTool Partition Wizard
install CWM Merruk_Recovery format
and install the a2sd 2.7.5.3 beta 4
=D using smartassv2
how i change my Skin in Repencis?

Check second post in repencis rom topic. there are 2 themes available for you to choose. But be sure to backup your rom first, in case you don't like it or anything wrong you can restore back your setting with the backup.

hey.. last help hehe.. i don't understand.. in the repencis say format in ext2 or ex3 and later automatic will transform in ext4
i format in ext3, and wipe data 5.0.2.6 cwm and reinstall the rom and wipe the rom, and put card again in computer and show ext2, not ext4, its normal?

[JB][ICS] CRON-o-GENMOD9 / CronMod CM10: General Thread

General thread for the JB CM10/AOSP based rom by cronmod dev team here and the ICS CM9 based rom here.
Check the respective rom sites for a what's working/not working list, features and download links. Discuss general things about the rom here such as a2sd scripts and any issues
As requested by the dev for the ICS rom:
What's NOT working?
Code:
[LIST]
[*]Camera force closes while recording video
[*]Hardware decoding for video playback -> laggy playback of 720p (use software decoding in Mx Player instead).
[*]Home/Search key (use the fix over [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34075493&postcount=131"]here[/URL])
[/LIST]
Anything that isn't said there is working fine. Will update the list if others find anything that doesn't work. Before asking for help do check you have the right hboot and that the md5 is correct after you download the rom. Also make sure you perform a full wipe when migrating to these roms.
Bear in mind that ICS was not made for our devices. Do not expect the stability of GB but the devs have done a great job on this and it is quite stable and quick for daily use.
Installation for CM9 ICS rom:
Code:
[U]Full wipe recommended before each flash from new version and is NEEDED if coming from any other rom.[/U]
Partition SD card so you have less than 1.5gb in sd-ext partition and the rest as FAT32. Gparted is recommended.
Flash the rom from recovery.
Grab m2sd from [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387"]here[/URL] (credit to dk_zero-cool) and flash it from recovery using whatever options you want (recommended by to choose apps and dalvik).
Wipe cache/dalvik and reboot :)
You can use cron's INT2EXT scripts as well from here and just flash in place of m2sd.
Feel free to ask any questions here but keep the dev threads on topic.
Anyone using the JB rom if you could post a not working list from your tests that'd be great .

Since corey moved on to JB the cron r2 hboot isn't available on the website anymore. The current version of the ICS cronmod rom still fits on to the 183mb system hboot so I thought to put this up here for those that want a bit more space in data
WARNING: The size of the system partition may increase in future so the hboot might not be compatible with future versions of cronmod cm9.
Check md5 before flashing and flash through fastboot using "fastboot flash hboot filepathAndName.img"

Its quite usable as a daily rom. At least I use it daily. But don't expect the level of stability like gingerbread. I mean, The kernel is still under improvement. Best way is to use it for a few days and judge yourself.

Hello,
I flashed this ICS rom just before Yasir took over and I must say I'm happy with it.
It is a bit slower than my previous CM7 rom of course but nothing dramatic, and it somehow seems more stable for some reason (GPS works, for example!).
And I still get a quite big amount of space on data thanks to the cron r2 hboot, which is great!
And I also love the CM9 tweaks.
So overall a good surprise for my first jump from CM7 roms.
But I tested Chrome and discovered it is so laggy it is unusable. Do you guys have the same issue?

The rom itself is amazingly quick and stable. Considering it's ICS I'd say it's the best ICS rom out right now. Haven't tried CronMod JB though.

I don't need video recording myself so I wouldn't know. But any camera app should work. I've heard good things about ICS Camera on market. Very close to stock camera app as well.

I'm going to be linking my friend this ROM soon-ish (once beta comes out) and she's using a BravoC on Ntelos. What kind of prep would she need to do on the phone before flashing the ROM? Like a wipe script or something to repartition or what? Want it to go as smooth as possible.

just wipe and install as listed in OP but be sure to have a ext partition if you plan to use a script

I suggest you to use INT2EXT+ with this ROM, take a look HERE.

I noticed that when i install a new app (from the market or an .apk), the system hangs for a while, sometimes it even pop with a system error, but if i select to wait the system then starts to work again, i have installed INT2EXT+ script with a 512 sd-ext partition on a Class 4 8 GB SD card. Could the low SD class can cause this problem? SD read cache is correctly set at 2 MB.

Could you amswer me whats working and whats not working in your cm9 rom? Cant find it

[Q] What version of CyanogenMod to install?

Hey guys,
This is my first thread...
So i got my Gio in april of this year, rooted in juli, flashed CM 2 days ago (did nandroid backup), and i think im ready to flash a new rom.
I have been searching on XDA for quite some time now but i can't seem to find a propre version of CyanogenMod 7.2.
I saw phiex (or what is he called again) thread and that version looks good but the thread is closed and his download link is dead.
I'm looking for a verry-stable ROM.
Does anyone have a link to the download / better version / suggestion for another ROM?
Also, i heard nandroid does not include the kernel... How to get back to stock kernel again if u need to? Just plain ODIN flashing?
When a flash fails and your phone is bricked. Will CWM be able to restore it?
I read somewhere Samsung has a binary counter to see if your phone is flashed to check if your warranty is still valid. Does Gio have this? Forum said you could see it when going into download mode, but i didn't see it when i checked.
If something happens to the phone (like when battery can't live without charger) and you have to send it back to Samsung, is it possible to remove all traces of root and flashing? How?
The apps2SD in CM, will it move all data to SD-card or is it like in the stock rom. (because internal mem is a serieus problem on Gio)
Last question: Will CM affect the market? I mean will you be able to download Temple Run for example, wich is not possible in stock.
Sorry for the huge amount of questions... :/
Who wants to help this flash-noob?
Thanks in advance,

-Install cm7 by marcin1147.
Its very stable.
-If u want a fast stable beatiful rom try MIUI GB by frankin96.
-If u want a new android version install latest cm9 by erikcas.
Its completely working except camcorder. Ics 4.0.4
-BTW for memory problem use link2sd. Its the best way to move all user apps and data to sd-ext.

LOL erickas cm9 laggs like hell I use CM9 by MaclawStudio and for memory problem use s2e better than darktremor and link2sd

I'll look into those roms.
MIUI does look nice, indeed.
I used Link2SD before btw and it wasn't all that great.
My memory filled up even with everything that could be moved moved to my SD.
Thanks guys!

Use Marcin his cm7 or Phiexz his cm7. Phiexz one is a little bit outdated but works great (his website is down).
Use a script for more intern memory like Amarullz ad2sdx script or CronMod-INT2EXT+ or intext4 if you have an ext4 partition on sd ext.

I've had great experiences with Link2SD. The only problem I had was that at some point Facebook wouldn't install, stating there wasn't enough memory. That was with about 65Mb of internal memory free...
A bigger problem was all those apps gobbling up CPU by apparently keeping stuff running in the background, which slowed things down considerably. So at the moment I *do* have apps installed and most of them are moved to the SD using Link2SD, but I don't have *too* many apps installed.

I use link2sd. Before i used S2E but experienced heavy laggs even with most stable rom though link2sd is good enough I have free 115 MB left in internal memory good enough for me.

-if you want go back to stock rom you must flash it with odin. nandroid backup doesn't work with stock roms because of different filesystems. and yes nandroid includes the kernel.
-when you softbrick your phone you can still arive the download mode. if it's an hardbrick your phone is dead (i am not sure if this is correct)
-the binary counter is only in the high-end phones like s2
-dont use app2sd. link2sd is the best
-no you cant download temple run. but its not rom related it's cpu related. temple run needs an armv7 cpu but our gio only has
an armv6.
you can download and install all apps which are available for stock rom on custom roms too...
i hope it helps you a little bit
sorry for my bad englisch

For me democrazy rom was the best cm 7.2 rom I ever used... untill now, recently flashed cyanmobile official, also has cm- settings and more included and I think its the least laggy rom I ever expirienced. Both roms work flawless with cronmod' s int2ext+ script.
My experience is that GB based roms always outperform ICS or JB based roms. With holo launcher you can add some ics style and features to GB without performance loss

I think CM 7.2 by Marcin is stable and speedly rom. But cm9/cm10 is more smooth(but some bugs, for example non-working videorecording e.t.c...).
PS when developers release a stable build of cm9/10 then this rom becomes the best rom much ever

I installed JuiceDefender but I didn't notice any changes.
I also don't want to underclock (think it's called that way), I like the performance as it is now.
The way it is now is okay, when I unplug the charger in the morning at 100%, I come home with 16%. (with some gaming on the bus)
But if I don't go home directly... Yeah...

ARC S creating partition + moving apps

hi,
i have successfully rooted my ARC S phone & installed Super Jelly Bean by Harsh586 (thanks to him). i would like to know how do i increase the size of the 400mb internal memory (i have 16gb micro sd high speed card inside my phone). also do i need to install ClockworkMod Recovery since i already have fusion 5.4 installed ?
last question can i install themes from google play because i'm not really big fan of the stock jelly bean theme.

for themes i think you can use a launcher that support themes like go launcher... just search in play store...
for internal memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162233&highlight=swap

i understand that the answer sometimes is a bit hard to find but they appear..
i was checking the Change Log of fusion 5.4 and it as cwm already on it!! so i think you can enter in recovery as usual pressing the back button..
i´m sorry but i´m in stock kernel i can´t help more on that..
don't forget to do always a backup before do risk things..

you are right & i did get into recovery i created 4GB partition but how do i find it ? its not showing in astro file manager in the DATA forlder !! is there any other way to find this folder ? my memory card gone for 14GB to 10GB which means the partition was created then i installed Lnk2SD & linked it to ext2 . did i do something wrong by selecting ext2 ?

is really easy to make a partition work, but you have to see if your kernel and rom supports it!
just follow the threads that i have mentioned above and it will be alright..
i never tried jelly bean roms, only ultimate hd and i think that in overall its a very nice rom, fast, stable, good for games, good camera, and supports partitions...

i have just changed the kernel from fusion 5.4 to fxp216 so i can use a patch to get the camera to work at 720p. i will see if i can find info on this kernel in regards to partitioning.

[Q] Two Quick questions

Hello ,
My last ROM problem was solved and I know have CM9 ROM .
But I noticed that the files on my sd card are still there ,and I want a Clean start .
I am used that they are deleted whenever I made a ( Reset to factory settings ) as I was making always before thinking to Root and make Custom ROM ,
I just wanted to know what would happen if I Made a ( Reset to factory settings ) from the settings menu ,
ofcourse I know my backup that I have on the internal card will be deleted but :
Will I lose the Root ?
Will I lose the Custom ROM and go back to the original ROM ?
The second question is , I heard before that I can share some space from my external sdcard to my internal sd card , is that really possible by any method ?
Sorry for long topic .

Any one ?

Search on the W forum for a thread by @pepoluan about 'pristine' wiping your phone....it will help you achieve the 'fresh start' that you want....and yes, unless you move your nandroid to alternative storage, you will probably lose it.
And as far as I remember, CM9 has the option to swap storage mounts which will allow you to use your external micro SD card as phone storage......
Find it by......
Menu>>settings>>storage>>menu>>advanced....
and then 'tick' the box against (something like) 'use SD card as phone storage' (it's been a while so I can't remember the exact wording)......

Search on the W forum for a thread by @pepoluan about 'pristine' wiping your phone....it will help you achieve the 'fresh start' that you want....and yes, unless you move your nandroid to alternative storage, you will probably lose it.
And as far as I remember, CM9 has the option to swap storage mounts which will allow you to use your external micro SD card as phone storage......
Find it by......
Menu>>settings>>storage>>menu>>advanced....
and then 'tick' the box against (something like) 'use SD card as phone storage' (it's been a while so I can't remember the exact wording)......

using reset to factory settings will not lose your root, afair coz i've used that b4.
when u install custom rom basically ur stock rom (original rom) is already erased, right? so i don't think it will restore ur stock rom, u can try it though

Thank you very much keithross39 and dec0der ,
I have resetted my phone without any problems at all ,
I just have another newbie question please
I see people talking about ROMs saying for example : CM9 EOL Honeyx Kernel
I don't inderstand anything in this except CM9 , But what is EOL , and what is Honeyx Kernel ?
I downloaded my CM9 version from the official thread here
I know it is written EOL in the Title of the official thread but I don't know what it mean ? and what is the Kernel ? and what name of the kernel I use ?

EOL as far as I know simply means end of line....which means the final release or no further development.... and the kernel is just something you flash on top of the ROM which allows greater control of things like processor speed, voltage etc. Flashing a kernel *can* have it's advantages, but it is not something you *have* to do......

Yes thanks I get it .
But from your experience is flashing kernel is as risky as flashing ROMs ,and do I have to also swap my files when installing it , and if I have a CM 9 . Can I flash any kernel with the name CM9 on it and not CM10 right ?( I am sorry but indeed I was very scared to flash ROM because of the too much talk about bricking the phone ) .

When you modify your phone there's *always* going to be an element of risk.....whether that risk is higher when flashing a kernel or not, I don't know......I've always stayed with the kernel that comes with my chosen ROM. To answer another question, yes you have to use a kernel that is compatible with your ROMs OS version. As for the storage mount swap, I'm fairly certain that this is ROM controlled as opposed to kernel controlled, so you should be OK....

Thanks keithross ,
So I think I am fine with just the CM9 and no need for other kernel ( at least for now ) .

Yeah.....you can always try a kernel another time....but do yourself a favor..... read as much as you can about every kernel you are considering before you flash it.....in the same way that every ROM is different, every kernel will be different and bring different tweaks to your phone.......

First of all it´s nice to see there are still such smart noobs like you who are posting their questions in the correct section. For this you deserve a 1+
About the rest it´s like keithross already said. First become familiar with your fevorite ROM. There is still time to test all the kernels out.
All the custom kernels are supposed to incrase battery life but also have some other tweaks included. Most of them are very similar because they are using a lot of the exact same tweaks like for example the ones for battery. However there are always some differences like the amount of added tweaks.
This is because all the Developers do have slightly different priorities to what is important to tweak. Some devs are more conservative and just adding the tweaks that are really important in his opinion and are also known to work properly with all devices whereas other devs are more openminded to add some new tweaks.
However this doesn´t mean some of them are better and some of them are worse. It´s just like that. One and the same kernel can work very good on one SGW whereas it may cause some problems on a secound SGW due to the included tweaks. Therefore it´s also good to have such a wide-spread variety of custom kernels, so everyone can find out which of them works best on his device.

People should start using Google.
Go to this URL and press 'Ctrl+F' or menu button then find on phones.
Type Kernel and discover things you never knew. As keithross said, research on these kind of stuff before you flash em.
I honestly learnt mine from here but you are free to use Google.
If you use the second link, ignore any talk about sbf. Its Motorola related.

Special thanks for all of you keithross , honeyx , and idelta ...
I think I have been very familial with the CM9 and I will be reading about your kernel honeyx very soon , I want to try it first one
Thanks again
