a kernel goes into a rom
a rom is basically everything summed up into one
you can flash kernels separately into roms to improve your phones performance
development is just starting i recommend:
whitehawkx kd1 deodexed+root so you dont have to root
and then get CWM from krylons post
after that you are ready to flash drhonks Bali kernel which will
improve battery life and performance(get the UV kernel )

Roms contain kernels, could contain a theme and other things depending on what it is, and kernels are basically the information your phone uses to function

MOD Build.Prop for Devs UPDATE: improved 7/17/11

So im sure many dev's know about the build.prop tweaks including krylon and drhonk(they just didnt have a phone to test on) so i took the liberty into modifying my own build.prop which is also in my team's rom ICBINB
im posting this build.prop for other devs or noobies to grab and look at
what ive noticed is that the values for the "sweet spot" on our phone are much different then those on other phones samsung and HTC
This is a performance mod/tweak and can turn any rom into an extremely smooth rom, basically this is ONE of the few secrets that make the ICBINB rom soo smooth but since i love our community ill release it so you can enjoy any rom with the smoothness of ICBINB
IF YOU USE ANY OF TEAM ACIDS MOD'S BE SURE TO GIVE CREDIT TO TEAM ACID ESPECIALLY THIS MOD, it WAS an ACID secret, and could have been kept secret so please be respectful of others people's work
*sigh* hope you guys dont just ditch my rom :/ LMAO!
be sure to hit thanks if its helped you
UPDATE: requested, i have made a modified build.prop for the GB users, note though that i have not tested it for GB so this was blind building however there should not be any proplems if there are let me know, you can either flash the GB rom then flash the performance zip or flash the GB rom and use a file explorer with root access to push the file manually, WHOEVER USES IT LEMME KNOW HOW IT WORKS PLEASE
UPDATE: i have found an even sweeter spot for the sgs4g, pleas enjoy even smoother, more fast and better battery saving qualities with the newly updated build.prop
If you had my low OC settings from ICBINB be aware they might cause the phone to freeze with this new build.prop im looking for new values now
Ooh! Awesome! So this can actually be used with other ROMs? Thanks a bunch dsexton702!

ANY rom of your choosing, im not a greedy person and keep all my work open source
remember i didnt create all of the coding but the values of the coding are definitely mine
Big thanks!
Thanks alot dsexton. I have been using my own build prop with most of these tweaks in it but i have to admit i did not hit the sweet spot like u did with the values. Great job bro!!!!!!! U have enhanced this community in more ways than we can ever thank you for. Thanks for everything!
ill be adding the build prop to my rom once it hits final damm touch wiz grrr
your guys' happiness and thanks is all i need to continue it means a lot <3
im currently really close with the build.prop to make netflix work for froyo
i need an experienced person with netflix to do some testing can you work with me fatherof4 or anyone else? gtalk me @ [email protected]

{ROM}DEODEXED + Rooted official Gingerbread KG6

Ok, so i'm switching up this thread to be the deodexed and rooted version of the rom seeing as the official was released via KIES apparently. So go here and download this NOW.
Remember, disable Voodoo as it says in the post.
Credits:
Krylon for the ROM
Whitehawkx for deodexing
Chainfire for decryption (sorry for not crediting originally, i got so excited i didn't read the rootzwiki post where whitehawkx credited you -.-)
and
drhonk for the kernel (i don't know if it was included but either way, thanks for your work!)
Awesome, its been a big week for the sgs4g. Looking forward to this.

Is it possible to convert the og gb leak with bootloaders to cwm
From a sammy with no hammy only jammy..
I got the KG4 kernel to work with the new leak, which let me restore my data and flash the deodexed KG6 leak, but once I booted KG6 with the KG4+cwm kernel, it f'd up, so I'd say wait for a proper custom KG6 kernel.
This is awesome but what is the difference between KG4 and KG6 anyone know?

Best SGS4G Rom?

I just updated my friends SGS4G to stock 2.3.5 with voodoo lagfix. Still seems a tad laggy. When I had a Vibrant Team Whiskey made an awesome rom (Bionics-V) that had virtually no lag. What is the best custom rom out for the SGS4G to get rid of most of the lag?

Rom
In my personal opinion Valhalla Final, Although its only been out for less then a day the other valhalla versions have been superb. I have yet to test battery but supposedly it is outstanding. Heres the link

Sounds kinda old school, but I still love bionix frost final with bali 3.3 uv and some of the other froyo roms. The gingerbread roms where brand new when I got my phone and started lurking the forum here.

First off, sent from your iPhone? Really? ...
Second, it depends on what you are looking for. Using a Froyo ROM is always a safe bet. Supposedly GB has better battery life though. But also if you are looking for a stock look, maybe ICBINB or AOSP is more your speed. The GB ROMs are pretty good these days, and with the source released they will only get better. Before I ran GB, I ran Bionix Frost with Bali UV, and it was great.
But, if you just want to get rid of lag, maybe just try something that will debloat you and flash the Bali kernel and stay Froyo.

Yes I sent this from my iPhone. Lol to be the best u have to embrace all aspects of tech! Be versatile! I've owned and love Android before. Vibrant, Nexus S and now I have a Kindle Fire. But I also like IOS and own an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.
Thanks for the Android OS history lesson lol. Since I don't own the the phone I dont have the convience of trying different custom ROMs. I just want to know which ROMs were top in smoothness and speed.
Ps. Now 2 more of my friends the own SGS4G want me to flash their phones......I think I'm gonna start charging for my time lol

There is nothing better in my opinion that Valhalla Final.
You do not need to disable voodoo (follow his install instructions in the OP).
I also suggest the newest market - it is MUCH FASTER.
Thanks I figured u didnt have to cause it has voodoo enabled by default. But just wanted to make sure, don't want to brick my friends phone lol
Yeah I saw the review video. It's looks awesome. I remember Whitehawkx from the Nexus S threads. He did good work. Definitely gonna suggest his ROM to my friends.

you may also want to try flashing dsexton's adrenaline shot for the GS4G, it makes a difference. I'm running it on valhalla with good results. Or you can try a rom that is pre-tweeked, like Octane v3.0, or ICBINB KJ6 version.
And check what kind of SD cards are in your friend's phone. if they have an older/slower (like a class 2) SD card, it will slow some things down.

Hi Jules,
In order to use voodoo lagfix, you'll need to install one of the kernels that have that ability. I personally suggest using bhndven's
[KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [12/19/2011]. Just follow the install instructions on his page. It's a great kernel, has the latest CWM (which fixes an issue with GB ROMs not being able to mount/unmount the /system partiton), root, and voodoo lagfix in it.
Once you've installed it, reboot into CWM recovery (either use an app like quick boot, or you have to power down the phone, hold down the volume up, volume down, & power keys, then release the power key after the "Galaxy S" screen gets a bit brighter), go to the voodoo menu, and ensure "voodoo lagfix" is enabled and "/system lagfix" is enabled.
As for the debloater (check my signature for the link), literally, go read FB's page about it. It takes you to a site, you select what you want to remove, it creates a .zip file you download, put it on your sdcard, then flash it from within CWM.
Tnx dude.
Is there a post in how to install a stable cwm?

The link for bhundven's kernel installs CWM as part of the kernel. If you follow the instructions on his page you'll be fine. He writes good stuff
The only other way I know to install it on Gingerbread is to install one of drhonk's kernels in the dev section. Using the one I mentioned is easier & is the current version of CWM.
Tnx alot dude...

I finally got around to adding a few guides in there. vgcraze has been making it look awesome so I finally felt inspired to it. Any time anyone asks a basic question we can link them to the wiki from now on.
Good point, bro. I'm going to contribute what I can as well. Probably won't have a decent time until tomorrow though. This community has helped me a lot so I try to pay back as much as I can.

I'm glad. If you're ever wondering about wiki syntax just google it. I was wondering how to make thumbnails so I just googled "wiki syntax thumbnails" and got what I wanted . It's easier than you'd think.
