Get the sense ui rom you want to use. Get the old radio (not sure if this is required) wipe and flash the rom (and radio if required)

Thanx Dennis
First up let me say I recently moved from the Motorola Dext MB200 to the Samsung Galaxy S phone.
As I am pretty familiar with rooting and adding roms to the dext/cliq
I am not sure about the Galaxy... is it the same way?
What do I need as I hear people say the Superoneclick method is better
What info do I need before rooting or installing the rom to make sure I have the proper rom.
Basically wanting a stable rom but faster than stock.
ie. wifi - bluetooth
Thanks

Use the search button for custom roms.
Look under the development section for all the available ROM if you are currently on 2.2 froyo you may want to stick there if you are looking for something stable as 2.3 roms are still in a lot of the development stages.
Just use superoneclick to root. lots of videos on youtube if you need help.
I rooted mine about 2-3 weeks ago. I stick with stock but changed the kernel in order to be able to apply a lagfix. I change the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. The difference between the two is distinguishable as night and day in term of speed.

if he is in 2.2 he should upgrade at least to 2.2.1. it's far better.
What I have :
2.2
baseband - i9000NEJP2
KERNEL - 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
BUILD - FROYO.NEJP5
If any of this helps
If I upgrade what do I do and do I need to unlock the phone again?
are you looking to unlock or root?
since you are on 2.2 just root using superoneclick program
if you are looking to unlock, go to the market and down un-locker pro
Just got a P1000 (UK) unlocked Tab and updated to the latest 2.2 Froyo using Kies.
Is it worth installing 2.3 and will it mess with the unlock?
Also, whats the simplest method to root the current 2.2 (most of the guides deal with 2.3)?
Thank you

easiest way to root is to use SuperOneClick root. It will work on 2.2 and 2.3.3. The update to 2.3.x should have no impact on the fact that the device is unlocked.
Thanks.
Does 2.3 have many advantages over 2.2?
I've done the custom ROM thing on my Galaxy S (running Darkys) but find it can make the device a little unstable.
I don't want to risk the same happening to the Tab.
There should be a stock update to 2.3 for most Tabs. Check the dev section.
It just depends on what you want outta yer Tab if the transition from 2.2 to 2.3 is worth it. There aren't that many big difference unless you run into apps that only work on Gingerbread.
I can confirm that 2.3 has better battery life than 2.2. As per my experience.

This is about the only reason to update... Otherwise root your 2.2 while you can (not saying 2.3 cannot be rooted - it just seems easier to root 2.2 and seems people en-mass have less trouble doing it) and update to overcome 4.0 (you can stay on the stock 2.3 - it is part of the procedure 2.3 stock -> then the overcome changes).
Or try out Technomancer's CM7 port. I use that. It is awesome.
Good times.
Hi everybody,
My old N1 isn't my main phone now so I'm thinking about using it as a testing device. I already have a 2.2 Atrix, a 2.3 Kindle Fire and a 4.0 SII, so I wanted to downgrade my Nexus to 2.1.
Is that possible? I have latest 2.3.6 now (GRK39F). And after the downgrade, is there a way to disable OTA updates and keep 2.1?
(I found some old tutorials here about downgrading 2.2 to 2.1, but not 2.3 to 2.1)
Thanks!
I would recommend a stock rooted version, which you just need to wipe and flash, and if you search for ota kill I think that will lead you to a program to stop ota updates.
If you have an SLCD Nexus One, then there is no way Eclair will work.
Will work if you have an AMOLED, though.

If you have a slcd model, it cant be done. If it is amoled you can just google a passimg and voila!
From what i understand there is no way to root a g900a on Marshmallow.
Im currently on G900AUCU3BOC4 (5.0) and im rooted, im on the fence about updating to 6.0.1 but i loooove using for example Titanium Backup to remove/freeze unwanted apps and other apps that need root.
I havent used a Marshmallow device, so im wondering if its worth it to lose root for it?
(im i right about there being no way of keeping root on 6.0.1?)
Thanks for your input!
If you're looking for performance enhancement NOOOO
But if you want some new features probably yes
Also before you upgrade see if there's way for downgrade so if you don't like it you can downgrade

I don't see any reason to sacrifice root for MM.
