[Q] Request :- - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All ROM Developers..,
I have tested almost every ROM in this forum which developers say are "MULTI CSC" ones. But unfortunately never found "INU" or any india specific CSC except in one or two ROM's..
Same is with product code..
Even for locale, English (India) settings are not found..
I feel there are lot many custom rom users from India in this forum..
I hope something can be done on this..
If someone helps, i dont mind spending some time to develop some flashable update to get all these things in one place
Thanks a ton

[Q] which official firmware to flash

I have searched for help but could not find it.
I do not know how you work out which of the official roms to put on the phone. I currently have a UK unbranded I9000 with I9000XXJPO on it.
How do I know which rom to flash? Believe it has something to do with the CSC?
I have not flashed one of these but done many HTC HD2.
Do I need I9000XXJVO, CSC = I9000OXAJVO?
CSC is so not important. It's just settings from network provider which you can google yourself. Firstly, you have to search for full ROM which contains three files and a pit file.
Fisrt you need to read post.Try search on forums there are some many post about it.
Basically you need gingerbread.Latest version is XXJVO.
Try search if you have question you can send me PM.
Thanks for the tip on searching. I already said I tried that. There are 5 different roms all released on the same day. 3 of the releases have different CSC codes.
Now I have your answer, that I can flash and of the gingerbread releases and that JVO is the latest, I have my information.
Please remember before telling people to search when they know how to use Google etc, not everyone knows as much as you about this technology. Everyone has to learn somewhere, XDA-Dev is an excellent place to start. So many people on forums are too quick to judge and point out peoples fault. I have a lot of experience with HD2 but could not get my head around 5 separate releases on one day.

Can any one give a ROM cookiing tute pls

[dsixda's kitchen]
This is the best kitchen I have found out. (To have rooted ROM, w/o any bloatwares, bash, de-odexing, and many more options)
You need to modify the updater-script file to a greater extent before using custom ROM developed by this kitchen, otherwise there is a possibility to brick your phone.
Though I have found out the correct parameters or changes to this and could build a custom ROM of my own. (fully functional ), but please allow me some time because creating a new thread takes a lot of time. Such that there are no loopholes and nobody should suffer any losses from the tutorial.
Since currently I have a huge office work load, I will post a tutorial soon as I had mentioned before in some other thread.

Hey Napstar! I have ported Galaxy Mini CM ROM to my Galaxy Y. I have zipped the folder after replacing Kernel and editing several files but when i try to flash it from my stock recovery I get errors like:
assert failed: write_rawimage("/temp/boot.img" ,"boot")
E:Error in /temp/sideload/package.zip
(Status7)
I think something is wrong with the MANIFEST-INF folder in zipped rom.
Can you tell me how to make a new MANIFEST-INF folder for my ROM.

Modem flashing

Hello everyone. This sure is a terific forum for android resources.
I have a i9000T on Android 2.2.1 and I'm planning to flash it to CM10 Jelly Bean when the next M series firmware is released. I'm comfortable with doing geeky things with computers but not so much on Android phones since I'm pretty new to it and hadn't been exposed to it that much. In the past so far I managed to root the I9000T with CMW to back it up and installed a commandline app on it.
I've done a lot of reading and research on the I9000 but I haven't gotten to any resources explaining how modems work or how one is compatible with another. I'm under the impression that after flashing to CM10 I might have to install the modem or a compatible modem for my i9000T to work. My current baseband shows UBJP9 which doesn't have a lot of useful hits on google. I've found the modem collection at this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460) but couldn't find the exact match. (How come some on the list have only 3 digits?) My question is then how to figure which ones on the list are compatible with my device, and how to apply the file to the device?
On a side note, how do we decipher the baseband code and figure which other basebands are compatible with one another? The first 2 digits are country code, and the next 3 are modem codes?
If someone would help explain some of those questions or point me to resources to read about those things I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I came from there initially, and wanted to ask in that thread but wasn't allowed to. I sort of not want to test the modems one by one because being a noob at androids usage I wouldn't be able to recognize if one is better than another. But reading that thread more closely I now know what the last 3 characters mean, although not all of it makes sense (for instance the P in my JP9 doesn't really map to a month).
I think the general tone one could get from that thread is more of like "try and see" and doesn't really answer my curiosities. Also from the discussions one would think that newer versions don't neccesarily mean better. I'm hoping to find more insight on what makes a firmware compatible with another, but the discussions there (or other sources I've come across) doesn't lead that way. The country code on my current modem is for Brazil but it is working in the US. That sort of suggests that the transmission bands the carrier operate on could be more important, and maybe some would suggest to go for modem firmwares in the country where the phone is actually being used. I was hoping to find discussions that tell us what all those firmware are, or what they do (i.e whether a firmware would make the phone work on one specific band or multiple bands, etc..) and things of that nature.

Thanks. So I'll flash to CM10, then flash the modem alone using one of the modem firmwares in the above thread? Is it possible to keep my current modem going from Froyo 2.2.1 to CM10 Jellybean? Ideally I'd like to keep my current modem in CM10 to see how well it works (if it works). Is the modem association separate from the OS, or does the OS already have a specific modem associated with it when the OS was put together? If the latter case, every time we flash CM10 with newer M or nightly builds we'll also need to flash the modem afterward again?
Thank everyone for your input so far. Sorry to throw all those questions out there, but I wish there's some kind of reference to how Androids work so we all can benefit from.

[Q] How to pick language pack from one rom and put into another rom?

Hi guys.
I know our note's latest JB rom has almost languages and locale to choose but not all.
I'm learning Japanese ,so I want to change my note's locale into Japanese so my phone's languages will become Japanese.
but the N7000 rom does't contain Japanese because They has own Japanese version.
,so I've downloaded Japanese note's rom from Samfirmware but I can't extract it.
Can anyone teach me how to pick language pack from Japanese stock rom and put into any custom rom in xda?
More locale doesn't help this
Please teach me or give me some links so I can learn about this.
Thanks to every one.:good:
Adding languages to another Rom is possible (I did in my Custom Rom).
But here is a completely different Rom for a different CPU (in the "Docomo Note").
No chance to extract japanese there and add it to our Roms.
Thank you for your answer.
How about translate it manually? such as we have English UK and US and translate eng uk to Japanese word by word?

Yes you can do that - if you work 8 hours a day the next two years you might have a preview of a translated Rom.
I think this isn't practicable.
And: where are possible users? Why should anyone in Japan buy a N7000 and make a request for Japanese.

No, I'm not living in Japan but I'm learning Japanese ,so I think that if my phone language were Japanese , I can get use to it quicker that do not thing.
Thank you for your answer again.

I like your roms that it has all languages ([ROM][JB][4.1.2] Pristine XXLT5 v3.2 [16.05.2013]), but i do not use it because it has no mods
so how i can add languages to another rom (ultimate rom)

You can't "add" them in a simple way. It means a complete rebuild of the Rom (including decompilation of all apk). I made some batches and use some tools to simplify/automate this - but even then I need about 3 days for a complete build of an all-languages-Rom starting from the original JB releases. It's ugly idiotic and stupid work.
And now the important thing for modding: you'll have to build the language-Rom first, then add the mods by yourself. If you add existing mods to such a Rom you loose important parts of language feature because the mods normally change system apks. So for Ultimate or any other Custom Rom "adding languages" is no solution because the wrong order of steps.
But maybe - and that is not a promise - I will rethink my no-mod-policy for the all-languages Rom and try to add some Mods. Starting today I'll have a long weekend to fill without family...

suggestions that should help alot

HI every body​
thanks for everybody that works hard to get us these amazing stuff ...
first of all , i`m not a developer nor an expert or have any good knowledge about developing ... but i really want to enjoy these great roms and tweaks as everybody else .. so i have 2 suggestions that i really think that will help anybody just like me :
the first one​ is when a developer release a new rom , i really need a step by step installation method with links for every kernal or anything needed to install it ... ( i came up with this suggestion after i tried yesterday to switch from a rom to carbon rom , but unfortunatly the installation failed even after an other member tried to help me and gave me instructions what to try to install it )
maybe alot of you thinks that is a silly suggestion , but believe me that there is people like me that dont know about developing and want to enjoy these roms
the second suggestion that if you could make a thread that contains all developers roms and kernals and any other stuff and group it like : ( best roms for games ) or ( best visual looking roms )or anything like that ...
i don`t know if this is allowed in the xda forums .. but if it is , then it would be great .....
i know that some members will tell me to try it by myself .. but believe me i love to try roms by myself but i really dont understand every feature in every rom , actually i dont understand most of the features .. so if you do this suggestion it would be great
thanks again for everyone that works hard at this great forum , we all appreciate your work ... hope that you continue the great work

Hello.
1. Each new ROM, Old or New will always have complete installation procedure in the OP Page 1. Failure to install Rom can be reported in the thread or try addressing the dev directly.
2. I'll tell you this before our forum moderator tells you. Best Roms and such are in violation of XDA rules thus not allowed in XDA. Our kind developers created lots of ROMS for us users with the "BEST" interest thus it's up to us entirely to choose which ROM suits our preferences best. And since many of them are busy with their actual real life, I don't think any of them has time to maintain these 'links to here and there' thread. It's our user's duty to search and learn by ourselves and finally post a valid question in this forum. No offence really but your request is basically like asking your teachers to do your assigned homework.

about the the installation procedure .. not every rom has specific information about needed kernals or recovery mods (specially ) ...
and about the teacher thing .. i said that im sure that somebody will come and tell me that i should do it by myself and test the roms ... but to let you know that i tested 4 roms in just 10 days and tried to test the 5th but couldn`t install it ... thnx anyway

Not wanting to debate, but for kernels it's already stated that always use a safe kernel. When you come from a TW based kernel. Philz kernel is the best option to choose. As in KK roms, always flash a Raw 4/5 first as a base kernel, reboot to recovery n then u can always flash philz latest KK compatible recoveries (V.6.0.4 up) to do all wipes and formats before flashing rom. If you flash recent roms starting with 4.1 up, these are mandatory steps to take. The rest does not really matter.
Again I mean no offence, but I think you can see that each devs has painfully written all instructions in their OP so that's why I think it's really not fair for us to ask total guidance like that. And since you are able to flash test that many rom, u should already know what to ask in this forum.Again no offence meant. Thanks
