Plain vanilla froyo rom - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone working on a plain striped down froyo rom?
I hate all the samsung apps clogging my phone up
I ran my iphone with about 4 extra apps and I think I only use 6 on my galaxy (as I use google listen and talk)

Cyanogen 6.1 will support the SGS.

Eugene373 has a almost vanilla ROM for the Vibrant, should work on the i9000 but I'm unable to test atm.

[Q] Sens UI on Captivate

is it possible to put sense UI on a 2.2 captivate?
Not at this time. I wouldn't saw that it's impossible, just highly unlikely.
They are working on porting it. I think it is in the vibrant forum. Its being written for all galaxy s devices.

US LGX2 come with AOSP 2.2.1 froyo or Gingerbread?

Hello, is US version of LGX2 come with AOSP Froyo or Gingerbread or LG own software like TouchWiz or sense etc...?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I believe it will be 2.2.1 stock AOSP. It will look similar to current G2 by HTC. It might have some Tmo apps like WiFi calling, MobiTv and some others. But maily it will be clean and free of bloatware from LG.

They have some specs and possibly all features listed on their website (coming soon..). Notably absent is WiFi calling. Wonder, if not, could the app be "lifted' from another ROM by XDA? Also, will it be compatible with the hardware setup?
That could be a deal killer for me otherwise - I use WiFi calling most of the time from home office, as WiFi is always on thanks to TMo US data cap.
It seems like on most tmo phones, the wifi calling is delivered over an ota update soon after release..
One more question guys, does the phone comes unlock US version?

Comes w/ 2.2.2 stock. Few T-Mobile apps thrown in: AppPAck, My Account, Qik Video Chat, MobiTV, WiFi calling, Zinio
Thanks guys, I have one more questions cause I don't want to create another thread. Is LG easier to port Sense? Since its on froyo? Cause SamSux use different file system and it's a ***** to port Sense. Galaxy S series, 4G, Nexus S only AOSP rom like CM7, Miui etc but not Sense. Is LG the same like Samsux?

Probably 2.2.x judging from all the press shots with the fugly default pre-Gingerbread status bar.
Sense can't be ported to non-Neon GPU's like Tegra2 until HTC or someone else rewrites the whole thing. Get LauncherPro Plus.

Thanks, I just ask in the Evo 4G thread there is no way to port Sense to LG or Samsung due to htc close source.
I guess I'll be waiting on htc so I can have both worlds AOSP cm7, Miui and Sense ui.

[Q] Rom that supports call recording

I am looking for a Rom that support recording audio calls. I remember looking at some roms a while back on here and it had a screen capture of the call screen and it showed a record button. I have tried searching but there are so many roms it's hard to find what I'm looking for, so I figured asking people that keep better on tabs on certain roms will already know which one supports it
That feature is not ROM dependent. There are apps to record calls, but since this varies in legality from state to state they are hard to find. In CA both parties must be informed of the recording or it is illegal. Did you look in the Themes and Apps forum?
I know you can use apps and such, but the closet thing I ever found was stuff like it would only record both sides of the conversation if you had speaker phone turned on. That's why I was looking for the rom, it appeared to be nicely integrated and didn't require speakerphone to be in use to record. I am also aware of the laws regarding call recording. I do computer repair and it'd be nice to record directions or symptons instead of trying to quickly jot them down.
It was a feature included in the phoenix rom. Not sure what other ones. I know that it only works on froyo roms.

It does. works great.
Some of the 2.2.1 based roms have this feature. Check the logs. There isnt one with it for 2.3.3+ yet so you will need to go with Froyo if you want it built into the rom
As stated previously, the Firefly 3.0 ROM (a fantastic Rom) had it. If you look in the forum you can find that particular file

Continuum v4 also had it. Its a great rom too. I used the call recording all the time, worked well. The apps that record calls don't work very well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Yes, Continuum 4 does have it but if you go with continuum, go with version 4.1. It also has call recording but it has updated modem and some other great apps included. But you can't flash 4.1 from stock. I am on 4.1 and plan to stay on it for a while.
most of the 2.2 and the 2.2.1 roms have it...head over to darky roms website to check out the call recording apk...

WiiMote for Emulators

I've searched a lot for this but most posts are very old and I'm searching for a more updated opinion. Is it possible to use the wiimote with the captivate for use with an emulator?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
Yes with an aosp rom (cm7) can, but Samsung based rom can't has something to do with how Samsung setup Bluetooth stack
Do you think that the gingerbread update will change anything?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
No, Samsung didn't change the Bluetooth stack in the sgs 2.3 update so they probably wont change in the captivate version.

After 2.3 update all kinds of app open....

Anyone else having similar problems with apps always opening. I'm constantly opening up app manager and closing music, Google plus, email, maps, message, etc.....I back out of everything so I know the apps are closed. It just seems as if every app I open its listed in the app manager as running even though I close them.

Are you positive? Some apps sync by default.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9
The same thing happens here! It doesn't matter if I force stop the app or use the application manager but apps will always start back up on their own after I stop them including apps that don't sync.

2.3.5 stock. They just open on their own.
It did it on V20C. I switched to V20P and it still does it.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
im having the same problem here I updated to 2.3.5 with v20p and now it seems like every app is reopening by themselves and I'm constantly running the task manager.
btw what's the average RAM u guys get? cuz the best I've got has been like 240mb of free RAM and I doing get why...
oh and I'm on a thrill P925
I've had the same problem. I ended up installing AutoKiller Memory and got the paid version. I selected the Extreme preset and applied all 10 tweaks. Now my phone runs a whole lot faster. I had trouble running my SPB Shell 3D launcher smoothly as well as games like Shadowgun until I did this. Now I appear to be having no more problems.
I'm assuming it's the memory management on 2.3.5.

It certainly is. Otherwise a utility like AutoKiller Memory would not have resolved my issues. I really had been frustrated for some time. Many don't like task killing apps like this, but if you want to run Gingerbread, SPB Shell 3D Launcher, and lots of apps including some demanding games like ShadowGun then it can make all of the difference.
Same problem on my end. I have loads of apps randomly active in memory. It wasn't like this before the update.
does this happens with v21D and other updates?
cuz im with v20p but im thinking about switching to v21D

When everything is killed for 5 seconds I have around 210mb. Usually my phone will bog down to 50mb and go launcher will pop up asking to clear memory.
