Saw a thread in Vibrant forum about altering memory slots. (sorry, I'm noobb. My understanding is that it gives the laubcher a higher priority and allows tweakimg of ram for less lag.. Anyone try this out yet?

I tried out out on my other phone p500 and it did show an improvement with phone responsiveness however; it did not boost quadrant scores.

Before I change to.a new ROM,.I'll give it a whirl. Maybe this weekend, I'm away from my phone flashing, naked lady giving box.

Not too sure if you should try that. The Vibrant is very different from this phone, so maybe one of the developers can shed more light on that before you do this tweak and brick your SGS4G.

I've used every rom on XDA and they're all great in their own way. I'm currently running the latest miui by whitehawkx. At first it was great but now I'm getting slow down and random loss of signal that only returns with a restart. I also have problems with the screen not turning back on properly. I press the lock button and the screen will light up like its about to turn on or it will flash the lockscreen for a second then go blank. Only fix is to relock then unlock again, quite a pain.
I'm looking for a daily rom that will get me at least 9 hours of battery life, is fast and responsive. Like I said, I've used all of the roms here but I don't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up for each rom and testing for multiple days to make a choice. Personal choices are welcome but please say why you like it.
On a side note, does anyone know why updates have pretty much stopped for all the roms our phone can use?
Thank you!

Try Weapon 3. I have been using it for a few weeks without any problems. Better battery life is accomplished with turning off GPS, Bluetooth and data when you're not using them. As well, don't run unnecessary apps and don't overclock.

Was actually in the process of downloading weapon. I can't shut data off since I need constant access to my email but otherwise I already do the other things. I've only been able to get about 10 max on my phone regardless of the rom, might have a bad battery.

I used GiggleBread with Trinity kernel and got over 25 hours as a max. On average I'd be around 16-18 hours with that combo. Try that. And this is with moderate use.
Wtf is gigglebread? If its on xda then I stand corrected in my statement that Ive used all the roms.

I was trying to buy juice defender plus or ultimate or try the easy battery saver+ and it says that they aren't available on my carrier. But I know I have downloaded them and seen them before. Is this something new? Is any one else having this problem? I'm running caty rom 2.0

Have you changed your dpi?

No. The only thing I've done to adjust the screen is the voodoo screen tuning app. Why would that effect my ability to download certain apps?

if it's jd, then imho, it is really a waste of money.
catyrom is already efficient with battery life.
you're better of in dimming display, turn off wifi or data if you're not using it.

First, you get no visual indication it works.
Second, Youtube won't play anything, I even updated it, nada.

Higher end headphones will give you better quality regardless .. I don't think it would be much improvement, but Raver liked this mod so its got to do something

I tried it, screwed up my phone. Phone wouldn't boot anymore. No amount of wiping data/cache/dalvik would fix it. Not even flashing a new ROM.
Had to use Heimdall to go back to stock.
I have no idea what happened but I'm not trying that again.
Tried it on VB. Got stuck in bootloop. Had to Odin my phone. Won't try again unless get several confirms that it's OK. Such a hassle.

Running VB + booster and AS ... bootlooped here, too. I was really only curious about beats, but it isn't important enough for me to try harder to get it running.

You noticed lower performance where? The speed will vary depending on your area, so try out all of the options. I hit close to 10mbps DL and 6mbps UL w/ this script.
Speed will vary depending on area though.
I tried the experimental settins and noticed a boost, just not sure how it affects battery
Okay I will try again. I'll have to see battery also. Looks like a solid script but I was thinking that our "4G" didn't need it but also at the same time it is like 3.5G. I'll just try again.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Okay, so I tried experimental 1&2 and I got 2mbps DL and 500-600 UL on both settings. I'll try again when I get home.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Yes... I posted about zeps 3G/script a while back...it helps out with data performance alot...
Mileage varies due to your area but i noticed a big increase in data performance.
But make sure your rom doesn't come with its own data speed tweaks because the script and the pre-installed might conflict each. Other

Im on scv6....the phone and contacts mod didnt seem to work but i dug deeper and found this radio mod and its a noticeable difference indeed!
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Checking it out now...I haven't noticed much of a difference. Hardly any of the other settings in the first menu of Spare Parts on SCv6 work, the regular Spare parts stuff works as normal. I've been playing around with it since installing SCv6, I got excited with all of the options in there but the excitement died when I could get almost nothing to work.
This sounds cool, but surely there is a catch if it randomly improves speeds so dramatically, right? Does it shorten the lifespan of your phone or something (lol)? And what exactly does it modify to achieve this speed boost?
My downloads are faster, net based apps like xda, engadget and sac bee load up faster, even gmail loads and syncs faster. This is how it should be!

I tried it......seems to speed up both wifi and 4g connections. Not sure on battery life tho.....only did it yesterday. Thanks for the heads up.

No idea. But if you can, make sure to enable this radio mod!
oops
I would like to know where I can get this. There's a lot of talk of how great it is, but no talk of where to get it. I know there is a spare parts app on the store.
Or is this something that is a mod on the ROM you're using?

I need to figure out how to use the netspeed and ram tweaks in Bullet (I think that's the one) into other roms. I travel a lot for work, and noticed on Bullet I had better radio connectivity. Maybe some porting since its coming from the Indian based rom? Hmm...

Took the .apk and incorporated into another. Hit 10520kbps without Hotweiss' Radio mod, and after enabling the mod I hit 106960kbps on data speed test. So far, so good... I'll keep playing with it, but seems to be a winner as far as I can tell!
I've noticed some minor improvement, but I seem to have a less reliable connection.
