[FAQ] Android Customization: Tips and Tricks
Could be many reasons. Perform these checks and actions:
1. Try reboot
2. Check if
3. If memory is not free, try clearing cache and/or removing some bloated apps.
4. Install "Fast Reboot" app to soft reboot (means many apps in memory are restarted) and use it when you think phone is slowing down.

Hi there,
My friend is having a Galaxy W which he brought from abroad. It's running on GB. It lags like hell. Sometimes, even opening the menu takes several seconds. So, he asked me if there is any way to make it work fast. I suggested him about rooting and installing a custom ROM. But, He doesn't anything about rooting and custom ROM. So, he asked me to do it. I don't want to brick his phone. So, I need your help on selecting a ROM and rooting the phone to install it. Note that this will be my first experiment with rooting. He wishes to use ICS or higher ROM.

Let's see:
1. He's your 'friend'
2. Your friend bought it from "abroad"
3. He's Android noob
4. You yourself have no prior experience in rooting.
All I want to say is "Stay the effing far away from his phone". If anything goes wrong he would be the last person who will forgive you.
There. Warning given. That being said if you truly want to help your fiend, then you can try rooting the phone. There is little chances of something going wrong in just rooting (and not messing with ROM's) By rooting you can atleast remove the bloatwares and install some apps like Cache cleaner which requires phone to be rooted. I would suggest not messing custom ROM's and first trying to optimize his phone with just rooting.

already have a dedicated thread for rooting W so read a bit and follow the instructions. as for Custom rom, better stick to Cyanogenmod 9/10. They are tried and trusted roms and pretty close to stock Android roms found in Nexus. Galaxy W I8150 Android Development
@Vyom, is O1 the only surviving lowend Android mobile not to be part of the ever growing Legacy devices at XDA?

^^ will depend upon what samsung has integrated into the app. but i don't think it'll work correctly even on S4 because you never hover your hand above the camera. that will block the display itself.

Its not possible cause CyanogenMod dropped mhl support for s2 cause mhl is closed source
