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.

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?
