[Q] Stock Android - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I was just curious to know if there was any way that the stock android could be installed on the Galaxy S? Like the Nexus One.
I am equally curious to know if the awesomeness of the hardware will do better if the customizations were to be taken away. I am not to keen on a MOD which merely strips out the Samsung bloatware. Just the plain vanilla android.
Cheers....

I'm sure someone will do it. We are all waiting on Froyo to be released before any work starts I'm guessing.

JIT locking up phone

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on why my JIT my be locking up my phone. Once I enable it, it runs fine but every now and then my phone will freeze and do a reboot cycle. Yes I have HTC lockscreen disabled as well as sense. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

From what I understand JIT is very unstable at this point. Since FroYo has JIT built in hopefully we will be able to cook up a 2.2 rom when it comes out. Regardless I'll be on the Evo by then but I might still try to work up some Hero magic

Oh man, if I could get froyo on the hero that would be great. I'm giving the EVO some cushion time to work out any defects. I love HTC, but manufacturing quality has proven to be a slight issue in the past.
I tried pulling my log to see if I could find where the phones locking up, but no luck I'm thinking I've got something that doesn't want to play with JIT tho, cause I don't remember having these issues when I first flashed, but who knows.

The link you provided is for the SDK. We need the actual source to compile it. I don't think that's going to be released until June.

True but that's my point. Whichever devs decide not to spring for the Evo should definitely be able to get it working. Let's just hope it works with our current .29 kernel. I have a feeling it's going to need something more since the kernel that comes with 2.2 is going to be .32. But you never know. We got 2.1 working with .27 after all.

Google's official FroYo statement they put out today said it was going to use 2.6.32. Hopefully it is possible to use .29 though

[Q] Evo 2.2 port to Hero possible?

This may have already been discussed but I couldn't find anything in the search. Has anyone done this or is it even possible to do? Are there any other ways to get 2.2 with sense on the Hero?
Not possible from evo. Its build for a different processor. Best bet will be when the legend gets there official release and gets ported over.

And 2.2 getting to Hero? Hah... no, not happening
Anything is possible. Officially? Probably not. Besides JIT, I cant see it offering anything worthwhile for me personally. I have a computer for junk requiring flash. My hero, currently, is blazing fast and so responsive that Im left thinking about my next touch...my device is always waiting on me.
I want a cdma legend.
Hero won't get an official 2.2 update. Sprint has said so already. That's not to say they won't release an update on August 13, but it won't be 2.2
who cares where this is supposed to be but it's here now. Anyways what really should be asked is whether someone is gonna port the desire 2.2 official rom to busy watching evo

Knowing Sprint it will be an update back to 1.5.
As far as I know, the closest thing to a fully functional Froyo on the CDMA Hero would be Cyanogenmod 6.
According to this link, the only thing NOT working is the PREVIEW for the camera apps. Otherwise, from what I've read, its an all around stable ROM ready for daily use.. As long as you're not co-dependent on your camera.
I'm thinking of taking the leap today.

Desire froyo is way to big to be ported. The best chances for a full port of froyo is from a legend build which when it comes out in the next month or so I already know someone who is getting ready for the port. Other than that the home made froyo is all that's gonna work for now.

Been using CM6T4 for over a month as daily... camera preview? Just use camera magic for that and for camcorder... well that's the sacrifice I made to have this phone run waaayyy faster and the battery life last waaayy longer than any other ROM out there

Are you serious??? Have you not seen the post for CM6.0.0?
Just so you know, that's Froyo, build FRF91, overclocked to 768mhz. Only thing that doesn't work is flash, b/c it's written for an arm7 processor, not an arm6.

Yes im using FRF91 but I have not seen a reason to upgrade past T4... I am overclocked to 768 and using everything that the new build has.... but again, no reason to upgrade past that.
the new nightly builds have camera preview and camcorder working

Froyo for Captivate?

Has anyone even seen proof of a real froyo firmware for the captivate? One would think that at least an about screen screenshot showing froyo would have leaked out. Makes me wonder if Samsung has even started working on Froyo for any of the Galaxy S variants.

I wonder the same thing. It seems were close to Gingerbread releasing. I've been thinking they may not waste the time/money on Froyo and be on the leading edge by having Gingerbread OTA'd

I dont see that happening but lets hope so.
There haven't been any leaked Captivate specific Froyos. My take on it is that Samsung currently is putting all their development into the I9000, and once they've reached stability, or in Samsung's case the point where they think it's "Good enough" they'll use that existing body of code and port it over for the other SGS variants.
All of the SGS variants (with the exception of the epic) are VERY similar hardware-wise, as you know first hand from running I9000 firmwares on your handset irtehun . Once they have a working framework of Froyo it would be relatively simple for them to make some kernel based modifications and carrier based "bloat" and kick it out the door for the other handsets.

Me too. I was running 2.2 on my Tilt for a LONG time, and got use to it, so it's an odd downgrade going to 2.1 for me, even though the Captivate screen is bigger the my entire Tilt phone.

Haha there was a 24 hour forums data rollback on Saturday night/Sunday morning so that thread went poof
I can't help but think of the epix my wife had when thinking about Samsung and updates. That phone was slated to get winmo 6.5. Last I checked maybe a month ago it still said coming soon Haha. She ended up having to get rid of that phone because it was so buggy, but I'll never forget the horrible service from Samsung. I got this phone hoping they'd changed with all their promises. We'll see...

[Q]SGS or w8 gingerbread?

hello ppl,
I'm planning to buy Samsung galaxy S soon but I heard that Android gingerbread is coming out soon too so I want to ask:
1-will it be better to wait till Gingerbread to be out and then buy a device that has it already? if yes how much would this take?
2-would there be a huge difference between Froyo which we can get on the Sgs and gingerbread that will worth the waiting if its long?
3-is there any chance for Sgs to get gingerbread as an official update ? or its hardware cant run it?
4-any remarks about the price of the devices that will come with it when it comes out?
btw I'm normal user and my usage isnt that heavy or needs very high specs but still if its worth it to w8 please answer the questions
P.S srry if i'm posting under wrong section or asking an already answered stuff
thanks
2.3 (gingerbread) wont come out to SGS till next year beacause of SGS screen problem. <-------- What screen problem?!!!!
So you might aswell buy a SGS OR HTC DE HD.

Did i miss some news some where?
I've never heard of a screen problem on the SGS
there have been single instances here and there, but nothing major like the internal SD problems...
back on topic
1) it will depend on the manufacture, don't count on Samsung, HTC will have it out before Samsung as usual
2) is hard to say, unless we can play with 2.3 there is no way to compare it to 2.2
3) yes it can run it, and eventually it will be released just like 2.2, knowing Samsung and their horrible customer service, 2.3 will be out like on 2012, if it took them so long to release 2.2 (2010/2011)
4) prices are all guess work, there is no way of knowing until the device is advertised by the carriers

Well, to answer all 4 at once:
GingerBread is not out yet, only speculation are made as of now.
Nobody knows if it'll be out for SGS, nobody knows what will be the Nexus S (or 2), no one can tell if it will be released to the public.
So, basicaly, if you'r waiting on speculation, you can wait a long time!
And, when it's out, another device will be rumored and will be the next best hype!

1) If you have the patience, then maybe wait for gingerbread. Only thing is tho, when gingerbread comes out, im sure something new will be leaked out and then you're gonna want to wait for that. Gingerbread is to be released soon i believe.
2) I think for differences on the SGS, gingerbread MIGHT not be as smooth as froyo or eclair, mainly because who knows if samsung will release an official update, or if it will have to be a ported version. Having said that, i find froyo to be much smoother than eclair (using docs bell rom V1.1)
3) I think the SGS will be able to handle gingerbread hardware wise, seeing as how the tab is supposed to get it, and the SGS and tab are somewhat similar in the hardware department
4) Prices will likely be similar to the prices of the phones that are out right now, anywhere from 300 - 600 i would say, depending on if you take the contract way or buy it outright.
well so to conclude
should i wait for a gingerbread device to come and buy it or just buy Sgs now ?
- If I were you, I would buy the SGS now.
- Who cares if it gets gingerbread or not, its a very nice phone as it is.
+1
Get the SGS, its an excellent device out of the box. If you want a little monster just add Lagfix; if you want to experiment, upgrade to 2.2 and so on until you brick it and you end up in these forums crying for help lol jk
If you "wait" you will WAIT forever, cause when you get a device with gingerbread 2 days after you will see a new device with honeycomb. If you wait for honeycomb then you will have a dilemma with Icecream, or waffles or LOLCAKES or w/e the next release is called
and so on... you will spend the rest of your life "waiting" ... like a slogan says.. JUST DO IT!!
Hope that helps

Icecream Sandwich

Anyone else looking forward to it?
Is it going to be released on the SGS 1? I get the feeling there won't be an official release of it for it but will anyone be making a custom rom?

I read somewhere ICS will be available to any gingerbread running device!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXihfs7DKPE
Watch this video. The presenter is saying clearly that this next version will be made available for every phone from new to old. So, expect it on SGS. However, the question is that whether it will run smoothly or not ?
Here are some demo features that will come out in ICS.

all the devices that had a gingerbread update would receive the update for 4.0 as well .. don't panic and let's just hope for the best!
I belive there isn't much ram on sgs to run ICS
And anyway, we have CyanogenMod. It will surely be updated to ICS.
One way or another we will get it.
How relatively well it will run on our device is another matter.
Hmm, can't wait for the Icecream Sandwich.

Totally agreed. There is hardly even enough ram for gingerbread to run as smoothly as froyo.
Android developers claimed today that ics is lighter and snappier. So i guess that means it will require less ram then gb. Its newer version so it is obvious they tried to make it lighter.
