Through Clockwork mod recovery but if you read the faq on the rom you installed it may tell you that vodoo is active . Voice is Voodoo activating and or deactivating .
2. how do i customize darky launcher?..
Ask Darky
3. what is BLN control??

questions 1 and 2
For the the voodoo lagfix, i read at Darky's forum that the phone won't work with all three enabled. only the voodoo lagfix must be on, and system lagfix and debug must be off. Hope that helps, but this seems to be a known problem.
With the Darky Launcher, its pretty much the stock Touchwiz launcher. So it really depends on what you mean by customising the launcher.
If you want to be able to customise the launcher alot then download go launcher or launcher pro etc. if you just want to change the colours of things, then you might be ok with the default lanucher.
hope i could be of some help
Enjoy your phone

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 flashed this rom yesterday (after 8.0 wipe) for 2 reasons. Firstly as a path to get to v9, but also to take advantage of the voodoo sound improvements. This is where im lost.. i thought it came as part of the rom, but cant find any trace of it...
how do i find / enable it???
Cheers in advance

ASK Darky i dont know what he puts in his rom one would expect Darky to be able to tell you .
Or SEARCH VOODOO SOUND

Thanks for your patience.
Download Voodoo control app from market.
Its part of the kernel not the rom ;p Darky just uses a kernel that implimented it. Any froyo rom can have voodoo sound as long as you flash a kernel that implimented it.

How do you upgrade to version 9? Did you have 3d icons in launcher pro? I saw it in YouTube but mine 8.1 doesn't have it,

hello fellow!
i read all relevant post regarding what i'm about to asking but i'm not convinced.
please XDA i'm going to upgrade my SGS gt i9000 on gingerbread
&
i want a custom rom with all lagfix,fast phone & better battery timing.
the main feature i'm interested in is!
i want the moving dock(i think that what it called)where we find 4 button of phone,contact,message,app, on the front homescreen with 7 pages.
in this dock all installed app can be seen at a time by moving it seperately on the homescreen.
there is no stable gingerbread rom atm
What you are looking dor is a scrolling wallpaper just look it up and its not invluded in any rom, we don't have gingerbread on this phone yet. Darky and Dics rom are pretty much the most used rom botb are really easy to configure, darky uses an app from the market and Docs is a web based kitchen. Lagfixes come in kernels, both darky and Doc let you choose the one you want Harcore Speddmode and Supercurio's Voodoo Kernel are the most used but don't let you OC your phone.

zimmbi & GOTFrogqc thank you for your reply.
GOTFrogqc; your reply was really helpfull.
so tell me if there is no gingerbread for sgs gt i9000.then which os should i get for my phone.i want gingerbread please.....
try darky
from my experience, darky rom resemble Gingerbread the most. Compare to other ROM, most additional "features" of Darky ROM were the modifications everywhere (Theme/Icon/Config) to make it resemble as much as possible to the Nexus Ging! I remember a moment Darky changed the boot animation to the one of Nexus S and made it as "feature", then he changed the fingerprint of the phone config to 2.3 and made me beleive that my SGS was Ginger LOL! but it's all over! he's listen to his user, and constantly improve his rom right now. I always think the last stable version of Darky ROM is one of the best rom, and I recommend it for someone who like the taste of Ginger (just theme). And I'm looking forward to taste the official Darky ROM 9.3 with JS5.
As for now, I recommend latest Kitchen DOC/Stef + latest SpeedMod 250Hz + R64 theme (plus Go Laucher Ex + AppOrganizer if you have 313 apps as mine ^^!). No need to lagfix (because there is no more lag to fix ^^) except if you want a higer quandrant (which means nothing).
I do NOT recommend any OC-UV kernel. It fry my phone, give me headache to config the Voltage, the smothness improvement often is not noticiable, but the battery usually drain faster. I think its the reason why hardcore never add OC-UV feature to his kernel (Yes, I think he is very capable to do that)
Thanks for Doc Stef Hardcore R64... to make my phone beautiful and fast.
i would personally recommend darkys rom. I only took the move to install a custom just over a month ago and now my phone is working the way it should be - smooth and fast. if its your first time i would recommend installing his 9.2 resurrection rom - there is an easy to follow guide on how to install it from the main page

+1 for darkys
I've heard a lot of good things about Darky.
I personally use seeArm's Custom ROM because it uses the JL2 modem which I need for the 850Mhz band. I may eventually try to flash with Darky and then write the JL2 modem on top of it, but that's a bit more risky so i'll try it later when i have more time.
Rom Kitchin build your own rom .

Hi
my phone is a galaxy GT-I9000
PDA : I9000BGJP3
PHONE : I9000BGJP2
CSC : I9000XECJP2
Build Info : 2010, 11
it has froyo 2.2 , Movistar Spain stock rom
it is not rooted
and it has recovery and download modes
Now I want to flash a custom rom (cyanogen or darky's)
i have read a lot of guides and tutorials but i'm still a little confused
So I want to know if I need to flash the firmware first, then only after that, I install the custom ROM ?
Or do I directly install a custom rom without flashing a new firmware ?
thanks for your help
Hi ziko360, since it sounds like you are new to custom roms I recommend you first try darkys rom.
If you are wanting to flash darkys v10.1 then yes you first need to flash the jvh firmware then flash darkys v10.1 after.
If you dont want to flash a custom rom you could always flash jvo from samfirmware.com then just flash a custom kernal instead.
Edit: Iv just noticed you asked in another post that you wanted to install the voodoo lag fix. If you have done this, then remember you must first diable the lag fix!

You should create a file or folder named disable-lagfix and place it in the voodoo directory on your sd card and reboot the phone. Or if that's too complicated you can Download from the android market the application Voodoo Toggle reboot Button - just hit the button so that voodoo is off and reboot. Also, in the app Voodoo Control there is option to disable voodoo lag fix
Ok thanks alot. i'll check this soon..;-)

ok thanks a lot
It is actually Darkys 10.1 that I have chosen
I've read the tutorial on Darky's website and it explains everything (flashing jvh firmware, disabling lagfixes... )

The fix is flash stock Froyo with pit and repartition checked via Odin if rom breaks your phone .

Hello,
I just bought a galaxy S from a friend. At the moment, the phone is running stock gingerbread.
1. Which rom and kernel would suite me? I do heavy texting and internet use. And normal gaming.I prefer customization and beauty and trying new lock screens. Which rom would be suitable for me?
2. Where can I find a guide/tutorial for installing custom rom and kernel??
3. When changing roms, if I back up my apps with titanium pro and restore on the new rom, they will work fine?
4. What are voodoo fix and lag fix?? DO I need to install them separately? And how do I install them?
Thanx alot.
i think u should try MIUI ROM IT HAS ALMOST 100S OF LOCKSCREEN THEMES.....FOR FLASHING ROM TUTORIAL GO TO Samsung galaxy s development forum there u will find everything....
press the thanks button if my reply helped u/....
