Is it a worth while to update to JP3 now ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I´m in JM5 , and i think about upgrading to JP3...
is it a good ideia ?

No.. Highmem has been merged into the eclair trees, MobileAP is totally broken (and there are many other broken/crashing things) and finally, JIT isn't available in that build anyway (so no real speed benefit).
The only reason for using Froyo at the moment is if you have apps that require Froyo, or there are API's in Froyo you want access to.
Otherwise, trust me, you are wasting your time with it. I installed it because I couldn't help myself, used it for 2 days, and then reverted because it was an inconvenience.

I am finding JM5 more stable. I've tried both. Im not going to bother with JP3 again.

ok..
thank you guys =D

the leaked 2.2 is not stable enough
i'll wait for the final

I tried the new builds, but went back to JF3, which came on the phone.
As the others mentioned, I will wait for the official release.

upside, you can view flash on the browser./

These ROM versions are getting confusing - is JM5 newer/older/better/worse than JG5 or are they practically the same?

tried it for a week and it got very slow even with tweaks.Wait for another leak or the official version

I tried JP3 i found it abit laggy but it was a good taste of what 2.2 to come

Google Maps just force-closed on launching for me in JP3 - that was a complete deal-breaker, so I reverted.
JM5 is a later version than JG5 (at least it should be)

I've had no problems with JP3 at all and have benchmarked 1843 with it......Everything has worked fine for me on it??

I'm running JP3 as well and very pleased with it. I tried it on 2 previous occasions but couldn't get it to work well and reverted. A few days ago I did a fresh install, rooted by downgrading the kernel to JP2, rooted and upgrade kenel back to JP3.
Root access made it possible to fix all the little bugs on the ROM, so now I wouldn't go back. The only thing broken is Mobile AP, otherwise it's smooth, lag free and working as well as any other ROM

which little bugs did you fix?
also wouldnt JH2 kernel work on JP3 rom and fix the lag without ext3/4 on sdcard trick?

I'd stick with JM5, someone mentioned about Flash but you can get that working on Eclair. I actually had it running on the stock ROM, just check over in the Apps and Themes section for the .apk, it seems to work quite well.

Been using JP3 for a week now, followed the guide on hemorrdroids.net (search for "Galaxy S FroYo With New Speed Fix!" but I did not apply the speed fix.
Honestly the phone is at least 3x faster then the stock version that came with it.
Seems to be working VERY stable except for the AP Wireless option which is broken.
Have not had any issues besides one crash when tried to use AP.

After using both JM5 and JP3 I can assure that at least with me the froto update is ablot smoother even without the lagfix applied... After the lagfix it just flies really...

Too buggy for now. I'm sticking with JM5, have already tried 3 custom jp3's and they all sucked.

I'm also running the JP3 without any problems. The JM5 was fine, but seems to default to Russian. Anyone knows where I can find the real original JF3? Just in case I want to go back.

I missed Froyo JP3 ROM. after loading back DXJG4(latest Official South East Asia ROM ),the Eclair ROM has this bad memory management problem. without using Task killer..the lag will come back..even after lagfix.
On JP3,I dont need to use task killer, I have no sudden blackout problem.

[Q] some question about my galaxy s...

hy guys
i try to open this thread because i have some little question about my galaxy s and i hope that here i can find one solution, or in any case, take some suggestion!
i have this smartphone since 2 months and during this time i have try to change some firmwares, because the original firmware for me was very very slow for one smartphone with this hardware.
i have try before the release jm2 and now i have onboard the release xwjm5, samset 1.9f (i have found it in this forum).
i have not particular situation, but i want only use this smartphone, during a normal day, without lag or "black screen".
i have also try to install "one click lag fix", as i have read always here in this forum, but i don't see (my impression) the speed better than before.
now, i'm waiting froyo, and i know (and i hope!) that this new version of android will solve this problem; but, during this time, i need a fast and stable version of eclair.
what you can suggest for me?
1: i try to install another time jm5 but before i make a "wipe"?
2: you can suggest other firmware that is more fast and stable?
3: any other idea/ suggestion?
4: you confirm that at this moment, the release of froyo is not stable and not good for work with this firmware all days?
thanks for your help guys!

Try Modaco's pre-rooted Froyo ROM (XXJP3), works fine for me.
I also tried JPC but for me it was to buggy too. So i decided to try the JM7 by Richthofen. After 2 days of usage my rooted JM7 with One-Click Lagfix is great! My phone is flying, and i havent found any bug until now. No lags, no blackscreens, everthing is fine and i will wait for the final version of froyo.

[Q] Does Froyo solve lag issues in Galaxy S i9000?

Hi all,

The reality is that no, it doesn't resolve lag
not by a long shot in recent leaks, q&a please.
i9000 froyo made lag worse!!!
I installed it yesterday via kies.
The former version worked perfect for me but the froyo update was real bad!
I can't work with my phone, it's getting stuck all the time.
The EMail software won't work at all.
Maybe i'm missing something but if i could downgrade back to the old version it would be great!

Well if you read all post about it you should know you should wipe the catch, Format the internal sdcard and do a factory reset when you flashed the latest froyo.
All error and strange thing you got is for all bad data/settings you have.
Froyo works real good...

Lol DamianGto. Seriously though, how long have you been working for samsung?
If i did work for Samsung i would not be here and help people to tweak the sgs and make custom kernels.
Many issues on the sgs is user errors. If they read some tread they would know how to deal with it.
I feel its to easy to make a tread or post about things without reading about it first.

[Q] Froyo (2.2.1) JPX vs JPU

Have a question for you guys.
What is the difference in JPU and JPX firmwares?
I have tried both and there doesn't seem to be any drastic changes. I know that the JPX is Official and for Europe. So does that mean JPU was only a beta version?
Kies is working on JPX. Yes JPU was a beta.
JPX is probably just more refined hence it's being released through Kies so Samsung are ready to go public with this firmware.
Also this should be in general.

Kies still not working in JPX..though the system is recognizing.. kies doesn't from inside the application!!!

Why you think JPU is beta and JPX official? Have you some evidence? Work by me werry well JPU long time, without any bugs or issue...
One question more, why we need Kies, if we now have OTA firmware updater inside phone? Kies is unneccesary in future for firmware updating on my opinion....
Regards
One more thing..Earlier JPU had an issue with contacts app still running.. Currently that is fixedd!!!

Yeah, something called test firmware and release firmware....
And only complete noobs actually use Kies - "pro" users havent used it since a week after buying the phone.
What about the Gallery Sensor Issue?

I`m still on JPU, coz Darkyy have not JPX
but Kalpic said JPU is beta from JPX

Not that quadrant scores means squat, but JPX gives 1100 vs 1220 on JPU.

That Bug is currently fixed. After opening contacts. Press back. Open up task manager. YOU wont be able to find contacts as one of the running processes. So I pretty much feel that bug is fixed!!!

Is there any improvement in terms of bettery life with JPX over JPU? I am on Darky's 5.6 and while the battery life is certainly tolerable, its considerably lesser than older roms. If JPX can fix that, it would be awesome.

Battery life and GPS seem better for me however it is still early
As for me after i updated to official jpx from the beta jpu, battery now is fixed and not jumping from 100% to 98% right after un pluging the device. Samsung's Program monitor does the good job by ending the contacts right after you're done using the contacts app amazingly, its widget does not close or vanish right after you use it to un-install applications and stuffs, Good job Samsung! Keyboard is fixed, web browser is still the same you can open 4 pages and does not go beyond that like eclair's and froyo 2.2, but by default the plug-ins were set to "on demand" other significant features were improved like the new Vending market of android with top scrolling carousel of which isn't there on jpu 2.2.1. Less lags and no more forecloses. Root works only if you use "Super Oneclick". Wifi is good and works if your using it and disables if the screen is of (i set it to turn of if the screen is of) dis-organized apps inside TW. the rest is up for you guys to observe or to test the difference for you-selves.

[Q] Darky`s 9.4 to 10.2.1?

It's been awhile since I flashed any roms. Here is where I stand?
Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband version I9000XXJQ1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
build number Darky's v9.4.XWJS8
I just did a factory reset as I had planned on dropping it off to get unlocked so I can switch carriers, however found out about the "Galaxy S Unlock" app.
Just downloaded the following apps:
Darky's Rom
Busy Box Installer
Rom Manager
Voodoo Control
Can I go directly from Darky's 9.4 to 10.2.1? Any other apps I may need for the transition. I did the original hacking 6 months ago and haven't retained anything.
Any tips, advice would be helpful
Thanks!!
i think you are asking for trouble flashing from 2.2 to 2.3 in the manner you are thinking.
I would odin flash 10.2 RE doing the full wipe.
Then you want 10.2.1 V2
you can flash that with darkyrom tools from the market
remember to use titanium backup to save all your apps
Thanks, that is exactly what I did after a little research again. Had to take a research break as my brain was getting frustrated with all the information but i got it working.
I do have another problem though. I have my I9000 and blackberry 9300. Both unlocked. For some reason my I9000 will not get reception in Northern Alberta where I work. I've used sim cards from telus/virgin mobile/koodo. Blackberry works fine (full bars), but I9000 doesnt get reception. It does however, work fine when i get back into town.
I'm assuming this is a modem issue? Any suggestions. I'm currently running Darky 10.2.1 V2.
i am looking into that issues also.
I think i have unlocked my phone but have only tried using a wind mobile SIM....
Hopefully i can figure this one out next time i see my cousin and i can try his SIM.
Me and my wife are both on Bell.
Oh and your Darky ROM is old
10.2.2 is the newest stable out.
But if you dont mind flashing the JVT RE edition is faster and works great

[Q] ICS: Update or not to update?

Ok.. I've seen posts cautioning anyone against trying to install ICS on N7000.. supposedly there is some issue with Samsung's ICS which could brick the device. I've seen warnings saying that even if someone has flashed the OFFICIAL German or Taiwanese ICS, they should flash back to GB immediately.
So.. what gives? Should we wait for a third ICS before upgrading..? Are these warnings genuine?
Yes its safer to wait for either a solution from the devs or samsung.
I see you are using Liquid Smooth ICS V1.. was that safe to flash? This whole ICS stuff is becoming very confusing. I actually switched from my I9100G to N7000 JUST for ICS, and seems like will have to wait even more! lol
Yes, very confusing.
And where is samsung by now?? They got our money with the device and again with the reparations!
Last samsung device for me.
Ys im using LiquidSmooth ICS Rom, But i had installed this rom before the BRICK BUG came into picture. I am stuck on this rom for now but i have no complaints as its running beautifully without any problems... i'm waiting for a fix and not using the CWM at all.
LP1/5/6 repack
LPY
LPF
all of the above have the bug.
Try using CM9 as it uses a different kernel. And go through thread before installing.
ICS running beautifully on SGnote but this brick bug is just ruining the party.
Ok CM9.. I see that there are many things which don't run well on CM9.. speaker phone etc.. any comments?
Waited too long for a official ics jow waiting again for fixed ics. .
I cant believe samsung made a mess but still i dont see a better android platform then samsung for a year or 2 atleast. .

hello, i've updated my SGN using the german rom, and till the moment i've not encountered any bug, only that the phone is bit slower...
is it recomended that i return to stock gingerbread??
Better stay in GB & wait for stable official/stock ICS. I flash LPY German & CF Root...my Gnote have issue with bluetooth (keep disconnect/fail when sending file) & date/time keep changing itself after reboot...weird!

if ICS works well it is better not to try , don`t flash anything don`t use cwm and everything should by fine, wait for next release of ICS or fix.
but really it is your decision (the risk used ics but also the risk of a brick note when you try back to GB)
J_Kirk better to wait for a stable ICS.
Thanks netoperek.. I've reached the same conclusion myself.

@ the moment is working fine with no bugs @ all..
wi-fi works fine, with no DC, Bluet.. also, text messeging, calls, games, facial unlock, etc
the only thing i think is a bit slower is the phone it self. for example is not as smother as before when playing for example the fruit ninja.
when i get home will do downgrade again and w8 for next release
