There is no official release for Froyo for any of the Galaxy S phones. Design Gears posted a Beta, and Cognition is based on that. It is stable, but there are some bugs.
All Samsung owners are waiting on an official galaxy S announcement.

thanks I think ill hold on a bit

What do you need to go to 2.1 for? And if you want it back to 2.1 you can use odin3 one click method in the dev section that has the JF6 OS on it.

Install one of the roms that have been created. That will make you feel a lot better with the leaked Froyo. Cognition by DesignGears, Shep has 2 or 3 types of Rom's. Don't give up on Froyo yet as it is actually much faster than Eclair. Were you running a lag fix with Eclair? It was probably making you think it was faster.

so what do you think is the best one and could you please post a link for download and how to install that would be a big help

[Q] Is I9000XXJM1 latest Eclair for Galaxy S ?

I have rooted Galaxy S and my battery last like 15 hours of moderate use :-/ I want to update on latest Eclair since I dont want to mess with reg hack until Froyo is available for my network. Can someone tell me is there any newer firmware than I9000XXJM1 and ECLAIR.XFJM6, thats what I have under About. If yes, I want to update it and I hope that I will get better battery life because this is disaster since I use Juice Defender and my data plan and WiFi are off when the screen is of.
Also, I cannot check is there newer firmware trough KIES, it tells me to make backup, bla-bla. I dont want to flash it, firstly I want to see if there is something newer. Also, for VooDoo fix, I only need to make that "disable lagfix" folder and reboot my phone and can freely update it with no fear ?
Tnx a lot !

I think you forgot to tell us how you want to help us with android development. Since you posted in android development, I assume that's what you want to do...
If not, this thread should be posted in Questions & Answers.
The latest eclair firmwares are XWJM9 and DOJJ1, both of which are internal releases that you need to flash with Odin.

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
JM9 is the newest 2.1-firmware
But I see that firmware doesnt have a Croatian UI, only support for the Croatian language in Swype

So this is the latest for end users that can be flashed using KIES ?
P.S. I hope that admins will move it to Q&A section.

Which is the best I9000 Gingerbread ROM on XDA!!!

Hi all,
I've had a GT-I9000 for over 6 months now and I haven't really tried too much stuff on it except for an official firmware update and OCLF, and as an XDA member this is my first post.
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2 (I9000DDJP2, kernel 2.6.32.9), everything was fine until my phone started to lag like hell and lots of force closes and reboots which is really pissing me off now. I was planning to wait for the official gingerbread update, however I think XDA already has tons of Gingerbread ROMS out there ready to be flashed. Also, I saw a few videos of I9000 running cyanogenmod which looked awesome. So i decided to give it a shot.
I'm a total noob at flashing, and to be honest, this will be my first time trying it out. Can you please suggest which is the best gingerbread ROM out there for I9000 and can it be flashed using ROM manager or do i need to follow the ODIN method.
Also, one very very dumb question , what is the difference between a ROM and a kernel, and is it required to flash both of them separately, if yes then which one should go first.

You need to read everything, especially if you don't know the difference between a kernel and a rom. You are no where near flashing, I'm saying this so you don't brick your phone.
Go to general thread and read through the stickies as these will lead you in the right direction. Once you have understood all of them, then proceed to flash.
Cyanogen is not for beginners so stay away.
Gingerbread roms that are supposed to be good are Juwes, Insanity, Simply Honey and Doc's. There are many GB roms but these seem to be the most popular.
Read everything until you know everything for sure and then go and flash
Good luck

Thanks for your reply... I'll start off with the reading i suppose, coz obviously i dont wanna brick my device... I've read that Insanity can be flashed directly using ROM Manager... Is this true?? If yes then can I try that one first, coz it seemed to be an easy enough method to flash a custom rom...

You also have to understand that Gingerbread is in effect Beta not released and devs still working on it in XDA . If you are capable of unbricking your phone dont mind breaking it then carry on otherwise wait for official release update through official method backup the firmware then customize as you want .

Congratulations, this was the 386th identical "I am a noob and can't be bothered to read much or use search but what is the best Gingerbread ROM?" thread.
Sorry, only the 1000th such thread will win our grand prize, a year's supply of DataAde, the cool, refreshing brick in a can.
However as a consolation prize, you receive the home version of our game as well as the same answer the 385 previous contestants received...."All are good but it is a very subjective thing, try them all and see which one suits you best."
Thanks for playing our game, and happy Androiding.

Thanks i'll keep that in mind, i guess the best thing for me would be to wait for an official release... Till then i can try out the minor tweaks and stuff, hopefully i'll be able to understand how to use ODIN properly...

Well usually I would ignore such a flaming reply, but since you are soooo good with statistics, i'm guessing you have nothing better to do than to count the number of noobs on XDA...
Well if so is the case, then best of luck, you might just reach 1000 since not everyone is an expert like you...

No one faults the fact that you are new to Android, in many ways we all are, especially myself. However, there are numerous posts that explain and educate that are meant to be READ, not just skipped in the hope that someone will tell you the magic secret of Android while standing on foot.
XDA is one of the greatest resources you will find for learning about Android and finding the best software solution for you....use it. It will be time well spent.

How about responding with a link to a thread that does have good information on available Gingerbread ROMS. I have searched and have not found it yet. Obviously based on your response there are hundreds of threads about this topic. Why not offer up at least one that we can check out? Obviously I am not typing in the exact magical phrase in the search box that reveals this supposedly abundant information.

[Q] ICS Official update quick question.

Hi Guys, been reading up on Android for a while and have to say you guys are awesome some really great info in here.
i just have one quick question if someone would be so kind to help.
i was awaiting the ICS update and checking the Facebook page (and here). wasnt feeling experienced enough to do the whole root and mod stuff yet (hopefully soon)
but on the facebook page. i noted this link for a simple official upgrade
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/424364/how_update_your_samsung_galaxy_note_ice_cream_sandwich/
i followed the procedure (perhaps very stupidly)
came straight here to see what new magic i could make
and saw the "Public Service Announcement"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
did i screw up here guys? kinda freaked! if so....should i revert back. is that an easy thing to do?
maybe im reading too much into it
thanks the help ill be sure to thank anyone

You should be fine. This is really affecting what seems to be the rooted version with chain fire. I have the official stock lpy and have no issues. So I would just recommend staying where you are at the moment and don't attempt to root or go into cwm.

lol you just freaked me out aswell, but i guess this has nothing to do with the official stock Germany ICS release, right!? Cos i Flashed it yesterday and its working great so far!!!!
Or is this something that can happen down the line?

The announcement is for ICS repacks from previous leaks
+1 ! i'm also hesitant on rooting and flashing because i'm too busy at the moment and can't be bothered with a bricked phone.
The announcement you're refering to is quite old though and concerns ICS repacks that were built using leaks while the official G-Note ICS from Samsung was still under development.
If you flashed your phone using the official ICS downloaded from samsung directly you shouldn't have any problem.
Also, i'm not 100% sure about this but i think flashing (even an official and clean stock rom) can go dreadfully wrong (=bricked phone) if there's a problem (like a powerfailure or computer crash or if your cat jumps on your phone and disconnects the cable) in the very first phases after you launched the operation. That's when the program installs all the required boot files on the phone and if those are missing, it just will never turn on again.
I also asked some folks in another post on the forum and they assured me that most roms are safe to flash if they we're built from stock roms. So since GB has been out for so long, it's pretty much safe to flash any GB-based custom rom. Now that ICS is out, it'll be pretty safe to flash custom ROMs based on ICS in a month or two i guess.
I'm too inexperienced to give advice but i think you'll be fine. Hope the above info was useful.
