[Q] Best firmware (froyo) to use via regedit hack for the Philippines

The title pretty much sums it up. I've been itching to get my hands on froyo for the SGS for weeks, and I'm at the point that I can't wait much longer. So, I was wondering what's the best region to use for my upgrade and what are the possible problems I may encounter such as network compatibility, drivers (or lack thereof), etc.
My phone is unbranded and not SIM-locked. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just out of curiosity, what do you think would give me a better android experience stock 2.2 or Samsung's 2.2.

Stock 2.2. You might brick your sgs like i did my nexus one.

Thanks for the quick reply, but what I meant was, what's the best region to get Samsung's official 2.2 firmware from (i.e., Nordic countries, Hongkong or other European countries, etc), since it hasn't been released in my country yet. And is there a possibility of encountering problems with network compatibility or drivers, etc.

I think I9000DXJPA would be fine for you. I may reflash it using this since im using the JPO right now.

Got my update to Froyo a few days ago. Im in your country bro. Q.C. Use Samsung Kies. Root it with z4root. Don't lag fix it cause it causes the qwerty to freeze on my SGS.

Are you sure you can't update yet from KIES?
DXJPA is now available.
ROM wise, I prefer Doc's ROM with HardcoreK9A Kernel.
CWM ULK advance features: data = ext4; dbdata = ext4
all tweaks ON

[Q] Froyo (2.2.1) JPX vs JPU

Have a question for you guys.
What is the difference in JPU and JPX firmwares?
I have tried both and there doesn't seem to be any drastic changes. I know that the JPX is Official and for Europe. So does that mean JPU was only a beta version?

Kies is working on JPX. Yes JPU was a beta.

JPX is probably just more refined hence it's being released through Kies so Samsung are ready to go public with this firmware.
Also this should be in general.

Why you think JPU is beta and JPX official? Have you some evidence? Work by me werry well JPU long time, without any bugs or issue...
One question more, why we need Kies, if we now have OTA firmware updater inside phone? Kies is unneccesary in future for firmware updating on my opinion....
Regards

One more thing..Earlier JPU had an issue with contacts app still running.. Currently that is fixedd!!!

Yeah, something called test firmware and release firmware....
And only complete noobs actually use Kies - "pro" users havent used it since a week after buying the phone.

What about the Gallery Sensor Issue?

I`m still on JPU, coz Darkyy have not JPX
but Kalpic said JPU is beta from JPX
& dont have reason not belive him

Not that quadrant scores means squat, but JPX gives 1100 vs 1220 on JPU.

That Bug is currently fixed. After opening contacts. Press back. Open up task manager. YOU wont be able to find contacts as one of the running processes. So I pretty much feel that bug is fixed!!!

Is there any improvement in terms of bettery life with JPX over JPU? I am on Darky's 5.6 and while the battery life is certainly tolerable, its considerably lesser than older roms. If JPX can fix that, it would be awesome.

Battery life and GPS seem better for me however it is still early

As for me after i updated to official jpx from the beta jpu, battery now is fixed and not jumping from 100% to 98% right after un pluging the device. Samsung's Program monitor does the good job by ending the contacts right after you're done using the contacts app amazingly, its widget does not close or vanish right after you use it to un-install applications and stuffs, Good job Samsung! Keyboard is fixed, web browser is still the same you can open 4 pages and does not go beyond that like eclair's and froyo 2.2, but by default the plug-ins were set to "on demand" other significant features were improved like the new Vending market of android with top scrolling carousel of which isn't there on jpu 2.2.1. Less lags and no more forecloses. Root works only if you use "Super Oneclick". Wifi is good and works if your using it and disables if the screen is of (i set it to turn of if the screen is of) dis-organized apps inside TW. the rest is up for you guys to observe or to test the difference for you-selves.

Gingerbread ?

Version 2.3 was released in some countries but later google halted it . . . Is it again available if so is there any way i can get it officially from Kies . . by changing some parameter in kies ?

Its currently available through Kies for Sweden (XEE) and Finland (NEE). If you have your phone rooted you could used "spooffw" to trick Kies into upgrading your phone. Otherwise, I would probably wait until the update is available in your region.

Is the standby life good on gb? Im on froyo n i get only 3.5 days the max i wonder if thats normal 4 u guys.

I used the XXJVK Gingerbread that was released on here, I then went back to 2.2.1 to see if it was available on Kies, but as I was told to use SpoofFW to trick kies.
I didn't get anything for the GB update (Im in the UK), so I then went and flashed MIUI. It's not too bad to be honest, nice and fast, but the only annoyance for me is the headphones don't work with phone calls. Perfect for listening to music though. Oh, the latest MIUI is based on 2.3.4 gingerbread btw, that's why I mentioned it. But because it's very loosely based on CM7, it does have battery drain issues. The stock XXJVK wasn't too bad on battery drain, but you can easily wear it out with heavy use in a few hours (as with any phone really).

[Q] kies offering firmware update?

when i connect my i9000 to my pc kies shows me--> see att #1
shuld i update? or can i stay on my current fw --> see att #2

choice is yours, both firmwares are Gingerbread, i assume the one kies is offering is a more updated, bug-less version.
If you are happy with stock ROMs why not update ??

I say go for the JVH.
Might as well have fun while it lasts rite?

i suppose i will lose all of my apps... right...?

The choice is yours but yes I would let kies upgrade you to the latest version for your region. Why not?
Main points to note:
1. Kies does NOT wipe your apps or settings. But its good practice to copy rom via cwm or backup using titanium in any case.
2. It WILL remove any root and mods you've applied though.
3. Important - remove any lagfix you might have applied first
Good luck

I updated but now it seems that my battery life is a bit worse... Have to do some more testing... :/

A lil more help if u please after installing latest gingerbread 2.2.5 i thnk
camera ics is now inverted. any help would be great or recommendation of a better camera app.... Thanks

If you are on gingerbread you should not have ICS camera, You should have gingerbread camera

I should have been more clear. Prior to the firmware update I installed camera ics app from google play. It worked like a charm after update to 2.3.5 I897uckk4 kernel 2.6.35.7 gingerbread.uckk4.
The cam was inverted, i uninstalled and then dl again reinstall and still inverted.
The gingerbread cam is on the device now along with the cam ics app, I kinda like the interface of the ics version
Thanks Eh!
Ok fed ex just brought my Straight talk sim card. phone is operational. changed apn looks good so far
Configured phone to straight talk apn
speed test very poor fastest 1.44 mbps down .026 mbps up
slowest .41 up .09 down
sorry for high-jacking my own thread but are thier any changes I could make to settings to achieve better results.

modems control data speed and voice quality. read about modems in development section (sticky). then start testing... to each their own you will learn.
ics camera *may* not be compatible with gingerbread... try some other camera apps, if it is just that one app contact the developer of that app.... but if he has a thread or website, read any info first so you arent telling him something that he knows or has explained already.
