Been there, mate. If you're comfortable with flashing via Odin, replace the stock kernel with one of these. I'm currently using hardcore's SpeedMod with very good results. Next, consider replacing your current modem package with one of these (not sure about their respective band support, so please tread carefully!).
Lastly, try some power saving apps, my recommendation would be CF's "Super Power" available from the market. Good luck!
PS: Some more advice to be found here.

There have been people here who were adventurous enough to go ahead & flsh their phones to whatever they wanted. A few of them got their phones BRICKED. Cant to ahead, cant go back, STUCK. They went & complained at the service centers that they were trying to update via Kies, the official Samsing software & god knows what went wrong, its BRICKED. I think they ended up convincing them. Well, tjis is the gist of what I have learned from the forums, its your call, you take it. I am from Hubli, Karnataka, India. I hated the stock ROM, updated to JG4 via Kies, Hated it, Updated to JPC, Loved it, Updated to JPH, aahhh, beautiful.
There's a thread here that points to the Stock DDJG4 ROM for India if you want to revert back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771262
Like I said guys, its YOUR CALL.
PS : JPC & JPH are Betas & 23rd is the date set for official Froyo release.
hi praneeth.. nenu update chesanu .. its safe .. dont worry.. update to JG4 and i will provide u rooted rom which is suitable for us... and i will also provide unroot rom which gives us our warranty back. so dont worry...............
Hi Ragin can u post ur information which firmware u flashed and which rom u put...
i m dying to see my phone naked... wanna customize yaar... and also can u please tell how to download themes with metamorph................
I didn't understand the problem with roms.
Can you enlighten me please.

Guys, I am from Bangalore and living with JG4. I havent applied any lagfix or GPS fix.
I am generally happy with JG4 but yea, havent seen a offical update in a while.
I am rooted: Search for 1-click Root/Unroot for Galaxy S
With a click you can root yourself and can unroot too - for warranty reasons.
Never observed a lag as such but I use AutoKiller Memory. Keeps my phone smooth; no lags.Try the aggressive setting.
GPS works good, fix is fast and position perfect. I use Google Navigation [BRUT], yes you can use the US Google navigation here in India with spoken street names - hows that. Recently I did a Bangalore - Pondicherry drive just on Google Navigation and it was awesome. I had all internal village roads mapped and navigated me through it. As you already know, the stock official Google Navigation doesnt work.

This line almost made me jump off my chair. Which 23rd are you taking about. Is it confirmed ?
Anybody from Mumbai ? Thats my hometown. There's an APP for rickshaw/taxi fare here on android market. Right now it works for Mumbai only. That was the best one I could find.
If you guys have any other cool apps that you have discovered for [indian] context, please share.
Thanks,
Have a good one.
hi araje i m also using the same firmware using cflagfix and also have both root and unroot update.zip files with me so no problem for me too..........
Can u please tell me how to use that navigator ... is it available in the market right now ................. does the navigation needs internet or does it works thru GPS signal ...........
can u please tell me >>??
and also what abt roms////////////// which one r u using with JG4..................
hey can u give me the link of the one click root and unroot software.. for me..
i think its more comfortable than mine..............

Brut Maps Mod is the answer. Search the forum guys, you all are being lazy.
I'm from Chennai, anyone here?

Whats up??
need some help broo
i m also JG4 firmware.........................
help me in customization brother...
KingHarsha - here you go
Search 'brut google maps 4.4' in google. Use the first link to load BRUT versions while keeping your stock google maps and navigation versions. Use the Stockified versions if you want to replace teh stock ones. I didnt do that, and I am comfortable with BRUT versions sitting near the stock ones.
No you have to pay data charges. But seeing that you are on this phone, I guess you already have data enabled on your PC. And yea you stay in chennai, so definitely you have 3G as well. I switched to dreaded BSNL just to get 3G services.
But dont worry abt data too much. Surprisingly it doesnt uze that much. If you have wifi at home, just setup your flightplan and it will download tiles along your way. tiles are big enough so if you detour or so, you are still within the downloaded area. U need to enable cache in brut menu.
Personally, I dont use the voice directions in city. It doesnt give instructions but it says a sentence. thats too much to decode while driving. But that problem exists in original sw as well. I kept it on during my roadtrip and I had great experience. First thing you will notice is that its smooth, your car doesnt update in jumps or maps dont move in jumps, they just smoothly rotate or move. Alternate routes, layers on teh way...its all there and its great.
Best part is oneways etc gets updated frequently and automatically since u connect to the cloud. When a flyover construction started, within a month it started routing me with the official detour posted on the road by traffic authorities. So thats great.
Well, thats my experience though.
Just search for 'one click root unroot galaxy S' on this forum. Not sure if it will work for you since you are already rooted.
Guys,
Looks like i am taking the dive and installing lagfix. I see 2 options - oneclick lay fix, or cflagfix.
Do you guys recommend any one of these?
Also in cant so 3buttons recovery and need to do that using clockmod's reboot to recovery option. Song if things don't work while Installation in will have to use odin only to reflash ddjg4. Something in have never done.
Song in was thinking of following sequence titanium backup - clockmod backup- odin reflash ddjg4 - install oneclick root - install oneclick lagfix / cflagfix - titanium restore.
If things break while installation of lagfix like in have seen phone not rebooting for many after installation of fix, then abort and reflash ddjg4 again.
Plz send in your comments. Any better way to do this. You can also say dont be so scared as you might have guessed i am sh$%the scared to do this and gathering my guts right now.

[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.

[q] darky's rom help samsung galaxy s gt-i9000

Ok so im keen on flashing this Darky's ROM because of its proposed battery life and speed compared to stock firmwares. I was wondering if people could give me links or advice as to what else I would need to flash at the same time so that I have optimum coverage for my provider (Optus- Australia). I'm on a stock Optus 2.1 eclair ROM.
Thanks!
Please, do some research instead of just asking questions. We're trying to prevent spamming of the same questions over and over. Look in the developers page, there's plenty of information there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665
I had done some research and had not found any solution specific to my carrier (Optus) apart from installing a Optus Modem. Could you tell me how I would install a Optus Modem?
because of its proposed battery life and speed compared to stock firmwares.
??????????????????????????????????????????
You would need to ask the developer of that rom what you need or read post in the OZ post .
Thats as well as reading Darky FAQs etc.
Better still i can point you to Opus modem in rom kitchin .
Build your own rom .

you dont need to flash an optus modem, however,it is highly recommended that you upgrade to 2.2 through kies or otherwise. other than that, you will need to be rooted with clock work mod. after that , just drag and drop the rom zip in to your phone, download the configuration app from the market and flash from there.
Whenever I flash a new darky version I normally flash his odin ressirection edition then use cwm to flash latest version hope that helps

Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.
thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

[Q] Help!!! Android OS is killing my battery

I just flashed to Gingerbread 2.3.3 Hamsterbread version with CF-Root kernel 4 days ago.
The battery drained so quick. Battery dropped 30% in 2hrs with idle model. I was using Hamster version Froyo with Speedmod kernel for several months without any issue, but right after the new flash.
Now I notice Android OS is continuously 60-70%. I can't see any running services related to this. As all apps are using while I was on Froyo.
Is anyone having the solution?
Yes the search button has a possible fix ..

No one knows??? Just notice, Android OS will stay 4% after hard-reboot. Soft-reboot via 5 power key won't change anything.

It seems there is a problem with a device driver in 2.3 which is at times preventing the device from properly going to sleep. The same problem has occurred on multiple other phones and is probably one of the reasons why 2.3 was pulled.
Now I trust that you did search, however clearly not very well. Here is the thread about it. You could have found it clearly labelled, and on the first page of the general section. It includes a potential fix.

Alternatively you can flash back to a good 2.2.1 rom.
