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
Gazmon
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.

hey all member i dont know if there already exists this thread, but what do you think is the best firmware for the galaxy s ?
(ps:sry im new to anroid ^^)
Flash the latest firmware 2.2 - JP6
If I were you, I would directly flash a ROM with integrated lagfix.
There is DocRambone with his ROM,
there is Tayutama,
there are several other ROMs.
Or you try mine, so you don't have to apply different steps to get a fast Galaxy S
thx @ darkyy
yeah the most important thing for me is [....] speed ^^
my sgs is sooo [....] slow xD
is there a difference between
tayutama , docrambone, and yours?
MOD EDIT: Offensive language removed
vanilla rom is nice
Shouldn't this be in Q&A?

Jpm/jp6 firmware.
Then it up to you and your skills.
I would start with z4mod on stock firmware and convert filsystem to ext2 with z4mod.
In the process you learn to flash.and what things are.
You phone will be fast and lagfree.
Then you can look for other kernel that's out here if there things you like.
You can also do what other say here and flash a Rom.
But you will not have the same control over the system.
If you want to change Rom you also need to start all over and install all apps again.
You don't need that with z4mod.
But z4mod and many roms are very good and solve the lag for you.
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
i didnt find a "good rom" either this time so using "stock android lock screen file" and "battery mod version d" and "universal lag fix kernel" (BLN on, ext4 or jfs, some tweaks on)
also using fancy widget and a blackground and launcher pro plus
i'm quite happy with it at the moment - i deleted some samsung apk from /system to make space too, else u can't make the mods
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 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
Hi everyone,
Im new here...done a search but Im really confused Im on stock JPY and I want to flash a custom rom and themes but Im not sure what ones I can use or how to install them. Im pretty new to flashing etc but my phone is rooted and Iv got CWM installed. I can use Odin so if somebody could help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Simple route and less broken phones is to build your own rom using the magical rom kitchin . Pick your own bits including modem csc files themes etc easy flash dont need Odin .

What rom do you want to flash ?
darkys or something thats fast. i tried the one via odin and my phone just vibrated so i had to reflash to jpy again. im not sure what ones i can use because im on a stock rom.
thanks x
Just roll a dice or smth and hope for the best. Custom roms debate are difficult and usually worthless.
im not trying to start a thread or a debate just want peoples advice. im new to flashing custom roms and dont want to damage my phone. i tried to flash darkys through odin and all my phone did was vibrate and i don't know why,
thanks rach x
Try flashing darky 9.2 reserection edition then flash 9.3 using cwm worked for me
Excuse spelling on packed train

Hi everyone, are there some THEMES or MODS for JVQ Stock Oxeded who I can install on my SGS ?
And how I can make my firmware De-oxeded ? bcoz I saw a lot themes for deoxeded roms..
Odexed theming isn't done and thus you're pretty much forced to get a deodexed ROM.
Easiest way is just flashing one of the ROMs in the Android Development section, most of them have a guide on what to do.
If you just want deodexed stock rom check out Ramad's topic.
Better wait until various issues are ironed out. Until then keep an eye on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152656
Flash to a deoxeded rom..
I think jkays themes can be used on odexed jvq
