Nice,, since i am the first one i would like to point out three things.
first this is noot a themed rom like the other. It includes the xperia framework and many xperia apps , libs and others.
Secondly, the Flash player is already included, no need to install another one.
Finally the Fserves kernel is already included in the latest release v1.4.
Thank you for your work.
Regards
Thanks for pointing out my mistakes..,
Now, could u tell which among fserves kernel you have included?so that I can include it in faq cos many people wonder which kernel it is since it shows blank in about phone .and I misunderstood you bcos u had given credit to Franco for kernel!have edited my first post!
Edit:having a strange bug, whenever I plugin my charger n use the phone, touch lags n keyboard types letters on its own..using Franco.gbs.v18c
Edit 2:works fine now after just unplugging the charger n repluggging it

Ok, I had some impromptu questions.
At first look the ROM looks great. I'm not concerned about the battery life, just the performance. Could anyone post their neocore fps and advanced quadrant scores? [just as a reference]
Also, does this ROM/kernel combo solve the CPU drain problem caused due to our touchscreen? Basically can one play HD Games on it sans any lag?
And, for which kernels is this ROM intergrated?
Thanks.
Its based on. 32 kernel ..neocore as per a user's report in dev forum is 62fps(with sound) and quadrant advanced is sumwhere around 15xx..
I do not know about the CPU drain but battery is good and touch responsiveness is really good..its really fast..
I played nfs shift without anylag

Hmm..
62 is Good ^_^
NFS Shift does not require touching the screen.
I wanted to know whether CPU intensive games such PES, Assassin's Creed, Gangstar. etc.. Work without any lag, as they require lots of touching. [Sounds sleazy eh?]

You should combine "gingercrust v1.4" with "franco.Kernel.v19.4 + GBS.v19 (BFS)" to get the best performance.

Hi
I have installed the cm10 on my gt p7510 and I have to say i am having a very bad experience
Yeah it was considerably faster but i had some bugs.. stuff that gets to me
1 Volume control is horrible when using a headphone and when listening to music the sound kinda like lag every once in a while
2 when playing games where u use tow hands one to aim and one to walk like shadowgun.. the aim and walking both suddenly stop and u have to pull away ur finger and try again this happens a lot and makes playing games a bit frustrating
I do like the cm10 its faster kinda takes care of the lag I had on the official ICS I don't want to get back to it plzz help
So can anybody tell me if there is a solution for any of these problems or maybe a better build
My most annoying problem would have to be number 2 thnx
I've had the second problem. So you're not the only one. Make sure to keep updating through nightlies.
replay
Good to know that I am not the only one
I just want the devs to know this so they might be able fix it
I already tried the latest build of nightly same problem
I hope the 4.2 wouldnt have such a problem

I think I already tried this build but I'll give it a chance again
Iam currently back on stock no crashs no bugs but it's very laggy and slow
I really hope this works
And parAndroid I tried one and it crashed in the middle of installing and I had to use odinout get my gt working again
I downloaded it will report back after Iam done
Just fineshd installing did take me a while to figure out how to get the soft keys back
I didn't install gapps cause I didn't want anything interrupting it
Installed shadowgun and vpplayer by titanium backup
Results : same problems but I gotta say its a very nice build lotsa options I would absolutely keep it if it didn't have he problems
But if u still have ur build will u be kind enough to upload it cause they make a different build like every day ur build might be different thnx

You didn't specify the name of the kernel so I'm assuming that you're on the default build that comes with cm10?
How about trying a different kernel? I personally suggest (and use) the a1 kernel as it can be overclocked up to 1.6mhz.
On the stock kernel I was unable to play gta3 because it was too laggy. but when I installed the a1 kernel, and setup a setCPU profile to o/c at 1.6mhz on the "performance" setting while playing gta3, the gameplay was liquid smooth.
So perhaps try that kernel and see if it irons out your issue.

I had no idea u could over clock to 1.6 I thought the limit was 1.4 I will try this definitely
But I don't think it'll work cause the game had no problems on stock ICS or cm9 ICS
But I will try if it solves it I'll report back thnxx
Just flashed it and overclocked to 1.6 GHz
noooooo luck still the same. U have the same tab as I do , did u have the same problem?
Just a quick question will overclocking like damage the CPU should I do it or what
Thnx again for ur concern
update
Update:
I think the problem actually is in the kernel
Heres what i did: I INSTALLED CM9 cause I just had enough with cm10 cause THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION
After I installed the cm9 EVERY THING WAS WORKING GREAT even the game THEN I thought TO INSTALL THE KERNEL TO BE ABLE TO overclock TO 1.6GHZ it installed oky ....I didn't overclock and tried the game again and I got the same problem then reinstalled cm9 again and the problem was gone
So I think the problem is with the cm10 kernel..... I don't know maybe iam wrong tell me what do you think
Any way iam gonna stick with the cm9 at least till the 4.2 is out
Just wondering because im just this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177978&highlight=battery

I have great battery life with that ROM, but I'm running Trinity kernel. I'd suggest trying a custom kernel like Trinity or KTmanta.

Here's the thread for Trinity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083885
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.
Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?
Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.
I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

CleanROM with stock Kernel has great battery life on mine.
Nope everything working fine, but i cant seem to get this to work. Ill try the KTmanta kernel and post back.
Alright so i got the KTmanta kernel to work, so i guess the trinity one doesnt work with mine? Now how can i see how much of a battery improvement this made? Is there an app or something? Thanks guys
Kernel and app in the first link, premade settings in the second link if you want them. Settings get placed in the tweaking apps' folder and loaded from within the app itself

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40087947&postcount=2741
What does that app do specifically?
Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings
All i really need is better battery life lol
Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance
Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?
I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?
I need to ask what does it takes to make SGA-i running stable,lag free and worth keeping.
I tried almost every thing (roms,kernels,tweaks and mods) even CM but the overall performance was not convincing.
So:
-what the ultimate combination of rom and tweaks should I use in order to make 100% use of SGA-i?

Well, there is no best Rom in XDA. Try out different roms. See which ones you like and see their performance.
Memory Wise: partition your SD card and if you want, increase internal memory with a cronmod script.
I'm pretty sure their are different scripts to increase performance and definetly work...
And kernal wise, they can either come with a rom or you can flash it seperatly.

Sell the phone. Put some money on it and buy another phone without a Broadcom chip!
Stock rom without any tweak is Lag free! With pureperformance tweaks its pretty usable. And stock based custom roms we have they are good and stable. CM7 has bugs but performance is top!
But as i understand you want a S3 mini performance from Ace-i which is impossible! So changing your phone is only option left...

yes CM7 has great performance and makes our device even near to higher devices,but right now it is useless, and this was the last solution for me!
I came to a conclusion that whatever we do to this device,no thing changes because it has severe hardware limitations.
So you are right changing it is the only solution but right now I have to keep it because I have no money and the prices in my country are very very very high

If we say that some rom is better than other, then we are disrespecting other rom makers, please, understand it.

My personal Opinion: I use Touchwiz Ressoruction. You can look at the Thread for that in the dev section. It is a nice and smooth rom with the look of S3 (It has Rafael.Baugis Kernal). This is only my opinion. I respect all the other Devs who make amazing Roms, Tweaks and Kernals. :beer:
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
+1 for Touchwiz Ressoruction, currently it's the only stable ROM around, it's very smooth and lag free.
OK guys..soon I will try touchwiz resurrection and give you my feedback
but one last thing, Iam struggling to play youtube flv which I downlowded in my device..can anyone suggest a solution!!
Every stock Rom is stable... Not just touchwiz resurrection.
Want a pure bareboned Rom? Retribution beta 4 extreme bareboned,
The smoothest cm7 Rom I've used is miui.

Hi There,
I presently have CM11 Rom for which sucks some how in when it comes down to battery but it's super fast.Are there any other custom Roms for GTI9300 other than CM.
I also have another basic query what is the difference between a rom and a kernel..does kernel add anything to the battery life?
Can i add custom kernels to custom roms??If so can i add custom kernel to the existing CM11 to improve battery life ??
Thanks and looking forward to the answer!

I will try to answer but i am not a pro you know . CM based roms are prety same with battery life so you can try TouchWiz based Roms-i think they are better for battery life so you can try for example Back to noot,Blekota S5,S5 Sensation ROM or read a little bit over xda-section roms.i hope i wrote something usefull.cheers
Paranoid Android is very good for battery life, and a good rom for daily driver.
But now I am using ArchiDroid, it's very fast. Faster than CM.

Sammy try Neat rom and Boeffla kernel.
AOSP try Cm12.1 with Boeffla NG kernel.
Am using Blekota's Note 4 ROM, with Boeffla here, am getting around 20 to 30 hours, depending on my usage on a given day. Whether you think that's good or not depends on what you're expecting, but I am happy with that.
Also the ROM is Samy based, so I get all basic features, the most important for me being Bluetooth, which never works on my i9300 with AOSP ROMs. Touchwizz I don't use anyway, have Nova Launcher
