[Q] Good Plan of Attack for an i9000T?

Hi all,
I have a Telstra i9000T (I'm in Australia, so I need the 850MHz band) and I'm pretty disappointed in the experience after coming from a Nexus One. Does anyone have any suggestions or can anyone confirm any working custom ROMs which can be used on the i9000T safely?
All the reading I've done has seen little mention of the Telstra model, save for the rooting methods and a bit of general stuff. I would ideally like a stock-standard ROM, as I'm not a big fan of TouchWiz (and definitely not the typical Telstra bloat) and had a paid version of LauncherPro on my Nexus, which I loved. I've had no trouble rooting, but haven't tried a lagfix yet as noone seems to know about the i9000T.
I see that CyanogenMod seems to be booting on the Vibrant now, and Bionix was another one I was looking at. Does anyone with an i9000T have any experience (or any luck) with flashing custom software?
Edit: Also, has anyone had any luck with a lagfix on this model? I just tried OCLF and got a 'Permission Denial' error, something to do with sending the 'Flight Mode' command. Is it worth giving Voodoo a crack?
Thanks in advance!

You can try Voodoo for the lagfix, looks like it's the best one so far

Also, Galaxy S is missing a great deal of update / optimisation as of now :| Kind of tricky but I assume waiting for the Froyo update from samsung would give a great boost (and overall better srability). As for the release of thoses updates, speculations says mid october

Many thanks t1, appreciate the tip. I think I'll have a go at Voodoo, it sounds like it does what I'm after.
I am really disappointed in the software of this phone. I've generally always had HTC devices, but decided it may be time to branch out a bit (and I don't mind the design). Kinda makes me wish I hadn't. Haha.
Roll on the middle of October then!
Cheers,
Justin

[Q] Why Official Froyo Being Called Back?!

Hi all,
As with the topic above, anyone knows the real reason with the call back of the official JPM firmware( or JP6)?
Read up on some sources, some said that its causes unstability. However, so far it seems okay to me in terms of stability and usabilty. Running on Darky's Steel Edition Rom 3.0. Seems good.
Cheers.

Just take a quick look at the changelist from JJ1 (SC02) and JPK, JPM / JP6 and compare these. All of these builds are from the same tree!
And did you ever take a look @ your logs (being on "stock" JPM / JP6)?
Yes, the customized ROMS are really really good. But all of 'em still have some (mostly minor) issues. I think Sammy has got to fix all (or most) of them before
they finally want to release it.
Btw, do you remember the first 2.2 releases from HTC
The only question is: Which way does less overall damage?

I think the final release will be almost identical as JPM/JP6 but Samsung has to patch the Kies so that it won't brick SGS so easily.

My Froyo 2.2 is unstable!!!
I for one really can't wait for the next "official" fix
My cold boot up times are way slower than the JG5 firmware and the phone suffers from forced closes sometimes and lags like hell!
It's just so annoying knowing what the phone is capable of but not having the firmware to back it up.
I hope the official froyo 2.2 release fixes all the bugs!

Well mine run better then ever on the official jp6. Granted root and lagfix is still needed becouse of the lovely rfs...

Here's hoping that the delay means that they will upgrade to 2.3 rather than 2.2 that will save you samsung.

[Q] Bad sound quality in phone calls

Hi.
I saw several threads on the matter but with no solution and they're from September 2010... maybe some new info has emerged...
I just bought the Captivate (not using with AT&T). It was with android 2.1 and with a decent outgoing sound quality.
I upgraded to 2.2 (installed [ROM] Obsidian V4.2) and now the outgoing phone calls are with bad quality.
The incoming sound is perfect. People tell me I sound bad as if from a very distant and deep submarine... I tried re-surfacing but alas it didn't help...
Is there any solution? driver? another ROM proved with quality? since at first it worked fine I imagine it's a software not hardware problem.
Thanks in advance.

I found that most of the newer 2.2 roms are based on the I9000UGJK3 modem and kernel which allows us to have HSUPA, but call quality suffers greatly. Until theres a source released for us cappy users, we're stuck with this issue. I went back to cog 2.16 because of that

Actually that new modern you mentioned is part of my daily driver. You just have to make sure you paiute the current modem with the correct rom.failure to do so will result in the results you have received.

I am also having horrendous call quality issues with that I9000UGJK3 setup.

So basically no one knows what can be done and I'm stuck with an amazing phone that can't be used as a phone....
Not able to use warranty - bought in the states and not living there....
ANY ideas???

[Q] If I was looking for these features, could you recommend a particular rom?

I had an HTC LEGEND which I rooted and used Blayo’s rom on, and then
later a stripped down version of it. I loved it, made my phone faster everything worked great and it updated me to 2.2
Now I’ve got a new phone the Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I’ve heard that the modding community has done some fantastic work for this piece of hardware. I’ve been creeping on the forum for the last couple of days and noticed a few things.
First it seems like a bit more work to flash the phones, and second that there’s a lot more options with things like kernals and such. Despite reading through pages of intellectual jargon I’m still feeling a little overwhelmed in what choices to make. Perhaps if I listed the features I was looking for someone could point me in the right direction?
I can follow the directions that forum members have posted easily enough I just can’t decide what is right for me when it comes to flashing the phone.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
I like the stock rom look and enjoy the layout of the phone, contacts, apps and messaging home row.
I would really like to have better battery life as I feel the phone really doesn’t last long.
I hear that there may be some better GPS tweaks? I use the GPS lots when I’m out of cell range with pre-loaded backroad maps. It’s REALLY important to me that this works as it could get me home at night or leave me stranded in the dark during hunting season if it doesn’t work.
I’d like to get rid of all the bell and Samsung bloatware. I didn’t really seem to care for any of the stuff they had pre-loaded.
I’d like to keep the voice dialer, calendar for sure along with the
contact manger – it’s sweet.
I don’t really like the pre-loaded internet app been using Dolphin mini and loving it.
I would like it to be as stable as possible I don’t want to be having to tinker
with it all the time.
Based on these prerequisites and that knowledge that my phone is:
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell i9000m
Any suggestions?

Yes. I'd suggest checking out the Vibrant forums .

You've got the right forum! The Canadian "Vibrants" are not the same as the "Vibrants" from the US. What is the manufacture date of your phone? It should be located behind the battery. I had a galaxy s from Aug (from Bell) and I found the GPS really bad. It improved with the updates but would still put me on wrong roads, etc. However, I now have a phone made in Dec. 2010 and it seems like the GPS is much better than before (without any tweaks or anything). It actually works with google navigation now! I would recommend you test out the GPS thoroughly (without assistance from towers) before going on any big trips. I went on a 9 hour drive with my old SGS' GPS and it was terrible.

oops, forgot to mention that seeARM has a rom based off of stock Bell JL2 ROM. If you are worried about the possible internal SD issue that was happening a month or so ago, this seems like a safe bet. It does seem like the issues have been solved though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906977
It says that the stock launcher is included so you can keep the touchwiz, contact manager, etc. I think there's still some bell bloatware on but I believe you can remove them through programs like titanium backup.

[Q] N1 problem solutions?

Hello everyone. I was planning to buy a used HTC Nexus One but I read about all the problems it has and had second thoughts. I had researched and found the following:
*To solve the broken power button- Download "Any unlock" from Google play
*To solve the inactive screen during calls- Download "Call Delay Patch" from Google play (can someone please verify this?)
I have also read about :
(i) camera not working(I saw a topic about clearing the camera's data which worked for some ppl and didn't work for other ppl)
(ii) X- screen problem(I have no knowledge about this) ,and
(iii) Wifi not connecting(I read about using "wifi fix" but not sure if it fixes this)
which are the problems that I couldn't find a solution to.
All of the above is considering it's on 2.3.6 official.
Basically I want to buy a N1 after selling my Samsung Galaxy Ace but I'll only do that if I have a solution to the major problems (such as the wifi and call problem) the N1 has. Is it worth it? Thank you

Well, you are kinda late on the N1 bandwagon aren't you mate? All things said and done, the N1 is a great, unique phone. I've had it for the past 3 years and it has never given me any problems. If you plan on sticking to the stock 2.3.6 ROM, you will not encounter any problems other than maybe the power button problem ( which if you are lucky/careful you might not have to face)
There are no problems with WiFi or Calls ( I think these are problems faced by users who have gone the Custom ROM route and have put a heavily modded JB or ICS ROM on their phones). If you were to flash, say stable CM 7.2, then you will rarely come across any such issues.
They don't make 'em like these anymore
Cheers

I have two N1.
One is stock (GB 2.3.6) The other (JB Rom) is my backup and toy for taking advantage of the great work of the dev.
None of them have the issues you mention.
I enjoyed very much this phone until I got the Galaxy Nexus.
I intend to keep my N1 backup for the foreseeable future (I mean my future).
Yes, for me, it is a keeper.

Haha yeah very late Oh that's good to hear I saw a lot of posts in these forums about these problems and some were old and some were new so I wanted some clarity. Thanks for the info! I was planning not to root the phone also so that's good. I'm tired of the samsung interface on my phone so i wanted a change.

I have two N1 too. One is AOKP ICS as my daily driver and the other is JB CM 10. Indeed, I just bought a brand new N1 (got a good deal) and upgraded to AOKP ICS and gave to my father to use. I like the N1 because it fits nicely in the pocket and reasonable size.

Oh so you haven't had any of the problems I mentioned above? That's my only concern with buying the N1.

Again, as long as it's stock or a stable Custom ROM, no need to worry about any problems. It's a reliable phone.

Okay thanks. Btw on the N1 wiki it says super one click works only up till 2.3.3 . So if the android version is 2.3.6 i'll have to root it without using Super one click?

either u can downgrade it to 2.3.3 n root or else try www.unlockroot.com
but a simple solution is to unlock the bootloader...

Yea, actually, the simplest one is to unlock the boot loader and flash the su.zip file to gain root access. There are numerous tutorials on the web which let you do that.
To summarize, the steps would be:
a) Unlock bootloader
b) Flash the recovery image. (CWM or AmonRA)
c) Copy the su.zip onto the SD card.
d) Reboot into recovery to flash that zip file and voila, root access.

OKay thanks a lot !

I'm using a 3 year old nexus one I bought on these forums over 7 months ago. It looks really beat up but has never needed any repairs including the power button. I've had stock 2.3.6 then cm7 then 4.1 for a couple months then cm7 again. It's always been pretty good. Only issue is occasional digitizer going nuts which is common but only a minor annoyance.
