You should have posted this in General Forum, not here.
Anyway, what do you mean by modify? If you are referring to the notification bar widgets and like, its no easy task my friend. Involves a lot of work.

y u don't use one of the custom mods, i use CM6 myself and it is imo the most stable rom out there,
if u just want to tweak ur stock rom i would recommend staying at 2.1. and tweak it a little with an OR, replacing and removing apps, overclocking etc.
afaik it does a little better wit multitasking, i would use it myself if it wouldn't miss so much features from CM...
hehehe a CM5 for milestone would be funny lol
if u are just looking for a guide
-factory reset
-flash 2.2.1 GOT release
-run OpenRecovery
-install CM update
-wipe cache and dalvik
or read this thread

I dont agree stock Froyo works fine so if u are looking for longer battery life just update u MM to this ROM.
I think little steps are better for beginner just get Open Recovery 3.3 root u phon maybe turn up u CPU speed

[Q] best firmware (rom) for SGS ?

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

I think people are still trying to get app2ext working on Eclair, so it's a work in progress.
I don't even think they made Cyanogen for Eclair on Milestone, as far as I know the earliest version is for Froyo (CM6).
Also, this is the development area, not the Questions and Answers area.
Just sayin..

I think everything you require needs froyo or more. Not certain about the 1% battery tweak or the partition of ext4. I would update to GOT 2.2.1 leak and root and then apply a gingerbread rom (I would go with CM7) or I would go with CM6 for froyo (not in development anymore though, but significantly faster)
Froyo = 2.2
Gingerbread = 2.3 (latest is 2.3.4 which is included in cyanogen mod 7 i think)
Remember to nandroid backup before installing any roms! (and only milestone roms work with milestone, do not try droid roms)
i would like to use 2.1 as it works faster on my milestone....

[Q] How to switch from a rom using cm6 to cm7?

Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks
Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers
Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.
I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!
I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.
Thanks for the help
I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

Hi, the overclocking in general reduces life span of the cpu.
http://www.pcguide.com/opt/oc/risksRisksCPU-c.html
from my personal experience on this phone its quite safe to o.c to 1.4Ghz.
just mind the temperatures.
i installed swiftkernel .. it can be overclocked to 1.2 ghz .. will this be safe and can you kindly suggest me with the best rom and kernel .... may be the one that you are using .. once again thank you very much for replying to my query!!!!
Personally I love cyanogen mod, I'm using nightly build 200 and its awesome. Naturally you should get the newest one.
Vorkkernal is best for cyanogen and miui roms.
You will not break your phone overclocking. on very very hot days maybe go 1ghz to be safe.

Hi again
i would suggest stock version v20L de-odexed by Paul ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
the reason for de-odexed system is simply because it lets you use the kitchen for further customizations, also the version by paul is pre-rooted. which will make you're life easy.
the reason is simple. everything works fine atm in the stock rom (yeh people always complain..... so dont flame me for sticking to the stock, but for me it works excellent)
cyno is great as well, also topo and the rest , the ppl here are doing a magnificent work but you need to remember that all of this is work in progress; therefore i suggest you will use the stock rom for the start.
i.e. 1 week or so
and see if it fits well with you're requirements. if you don't have any issues than that's ure solution if u got issues with stock drop a msg here with the problem description and we can see what can we do.
hope i helped.
is it the same way as we flash other rom???? i would suggest stock version v20L de-odexed by Paul ,

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 )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313363
can you please kindly tell me which rom has a bugless? coz i have tried reading some of the custom roms even outside the forum ., some roms has a bug like camera ,wifi etc. all i need is a custom rom which is based on a stock rom but have changes or tweaks like removed the useless apps. im running on GB 2.3.4 and i want it to upgrade it to higher version but a stock rom with a tweak, because nothing beats a stock rom i guess ^^
