Hi all, I recently found the instructions on another site to de-odex a stock ROM. The link for the page is here. It all seems good and I have followed all the instructions up to the point where I use ADB on the files copied to the phone so I've left it there until I get clarification on whether I'll be able to install custom Themes on a stock JPY ROM currently running on my SGS?
Thanks in advance guys

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S and I was just wondering, is there much point updating to a custom ROM as it's on the latest firmware from OTA (2.2) & if so what's the best custom rom available at the moment?
cheers,
Kevin.
Hi...
Im new in the SGS rooting too, but I guess my answer goes for any brand of mobile, when regarding to running a custom ROM.
With a custom ROM you get a "cleaner" ROM. you can choose which one suites you best, and often, the ROM is deoxed e.g. and is running much smother, than any stock ROM.
Regarding my choice, Im going for Darky's ROM.
I often look at which ROM people use the most, but also, if its build on stoc ROM og stock android ROM. If it is stock android ROM and you are planning on using a custom UI (ADW launcher e.g.) hte phone wont take up place with Touch Wiz UI
okay, so I've decided to use Darky's ROM - but on the tutorial it says to install Recovery2e (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108) I downloaded it and extracted it but it's a zImage file as opposed to a .tar file
Hi,
Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but i have JS3 firmware with hardcore speedmod installed (latest version 23rd jan)
i was looking at installing some customs themes ,i tryed this earlier this week and when i rebooted the phone just got stuck at the splash screen and vibrated??
i read this is coz i am on stock roms? is this right?
can i deodex my stock rom, if so which is easiest way? or do i have to install a custom rom
many thanks

You're right, by far the easiest way to get a deodexed SGS is to install a custom rom. Try Doc's ROM kitchen (ht tp: / / romkitchen . org - sorry, can't post links yet) to customise one for yourself if you don't like any of the pre-built roms around.
It should be possible to deodex a stock rom yourself but you're in for a world of hurt if you don't feel comfortable mucking around with android development and the the SDK command line tools. Google baksmali to get started if you really want to pursue this avenue.
Hi guys restored my phone and realized that themes are rom specific. Soooo i know i dont have any custom rom on my phone, but i know i backup and am running my stock rom that came with the fascinate (im guessing touchwiz). My question is are there any themes that work on this rom,so i dont end up installing a custom rom for it. Also can you please link a guide to install custom rom with CWM for this phone? Thanks
Hi dude, I don't know if this question is silly.
but I have follow the instruction in this thread to deodexed my stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208 ([ROM]Rooted, deodexed & zipaligned stock flashable rom 10.1.A.1.434[22/03])
but before I doing this, I've rooted my phone by Bin4ry_v26.zip and installed CWM in order to flash the deodexed stock ROM in the thread above.
After I follow the instruction, the phone reboot from CWM, but the rom seems not to be deodexed and even rooted, because I can't find superSU.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem? Is my procedure wrong?
p.s. Anyone can tell me how to know if the phone has been deodexed?
Thank you! :victory:

1. Yes, you can use it as long as you want
2. Which rom are you using?
3. You need to run android 2.3.x at least, because you need CWM 5.x.x.x to flash the latest custom roms
Here a useful thread where you'll find llots of info (How to root, install CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed, flash a stock rom via Odin...and lots of tips )
