Galaxy S What first to do?

So, my Galaxy S just arrived this day and i right now unpack it, but after modding my Motorola Milestone with EclairModv3, i thought what is the best ROM what i should use at beginning? My modding knowledge with Android is bit limited, like i said i just installed GOT Recovery + EclairModv3 with my Milestone.
I appreciate every answer

Good before i make a new thread i using this one instead. My question is, right now im using XXJPH + root + One klick Lag Fix. Should i stay or should i use another ROM for getting the most out of my Phone, i heard good things about JM8 + Voodoo Lagfix

What to do first.
Learn to use forum maybe?

Flash JM8 and install Voodoo Beta 4 lagfix.
Then enjoy the magic!

JPK is amazing. Been using it since it got leaked and had no problems. You should flash JPK asap and enjoy its FroYo goodness until the official version is released.

thx everybody for replying and thx to the mod for moving this thread.
I just recharge my SGS Battery to 100% and then i go to set up the JPK Version. i already found a JPK-lite Version in Android Dev Section, gonna try that to be exactly. And yeah will be back here to tell you what happened wrong (don't think that will ever happen) and what works (everything i guess )

Froyo betas are buggy in speed and whatnot. I say install JM8 and use OCLF as Voodoo seems to drain batteries like a hooker on a sailor

I'd say use XXJM1 Rev 3, and I strongly recommend against using lag fixes which mess with the filesystem.
Too little research has actually been done in regards to the design to ensure there aren't no long term problems (such as Corrupted IMEI, when updating in the future).

yeah will go to stock firmware again in future when official froyo comes out for SGS right now im using XXJPK + Lightrom v3 which includes OCLF without any issues at all but like i said i respect every answer of yours

First thing to check is three button combo (vol up+home+power, and vol down+home+ power)works or not? If yes then do all flashing, updating, etc,ect.

flash jpk.
root your phone.
get a lite rom or make one yourself.
install OCLF
set alter minfree to strict
set scheduler to cfq

[Q] Galaxy S ROM and Recovery

Hey all,
I would firstly like to thank all the development members here for all their hard work and efforts in making android devices a better bread.
My question is as follows, I have a friend with a galaxy s and he is complaining about lag and random freezing, he has also shown me when the os brings up an fc window and the device needs to be hard reset (battery removed). I want to know if anyone can suggest an android rom much like miui or something stripped down and cleaned up (both kernel wise and bloatware wise). Also I have heard about Samsung trying to remove recovery from the device so id anyone is kind enough to link me to some articles on how to check and repair this should he have a device effected by this. Also any articles on radio that I may need to read.
Many thanks in advanced.

Go to doc's magical kitchen,there u can "cook" your own rom,
u need to install rom manager from market and install clockwork mod
From top of the app.but read about flashing rom and kernel
From the first thread in rom kitchen,it's safe to flash,IF u do it right
But still things can go wrong.

Hey Zodiaxe66,
Thanks for your reply. I am already aware on how to actually "Flash" a device and how to use ROM manager, Clockwork and so on.
More to my point was if any one know's of any ROM's that are like MIUI and are stripped. Also if anyone is aware about the apparent issue(s) with attempting to flash a Galaxy S (as they apparently stripped the recovery, from the phone in some batches).
Thanks again.

Until today, I don't have any regrets at all!

I use the overcome rom for many reasons.
The most important is that it enables sip calls in gingerbread without an extra application.
Video calls in talk are also a nice feature.

Yes you can use Titanium backup and some form of back up is always recommended.
Performance and features definately enhanced and the support from the team and more experienced guys is great.

The easiest way to backup apps in titanium backup is to use one of the batch scripts. Just hit the menu button in the apps list and choose something like backup all user apps and data. Then you just have to save your Titanium backup folder to PC or removable SD if you intend to restock before flashing overcome, because internal SD gets wiped.
When you have installed Ocvercome, copy.TB folder back to internal SD and use TB batch script to restore all missing apps and data. I strongly advice you to buy the pro version because otherwise you have to confirm the restore of every single app. But it's worth the money for sure as after the first flash, you will get addicted to it anyway and TB will make life so much easier.

I got sick of waiting for samsung australia to release gingerbread for the gtab so i i updated to overcome icarus last nite from 2.2 and my gtab flies now, battery usage seems to be the same as far as i can tell so no complaints there.
Backed up everything with titanium, restored contacts but they wouldnt appear until i restarted the machine. Restoring SMS didnt work

It is a really cool App, installing the roms takes some time, but switching between them is quick and easy.

OMFGodddddd!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! This is like legalizing drugs for flasher addicts!!

EDIT: bought it, and playing with it right now
edit: I like it alot, set the newer cm7 as my phone rom, and installed vicious miui in slot 1 just to play around with, its pretty fun, this makes me a flash a holic x5 or is that 4

Is this a must?

really cool app but this thread belongs in the themes & apps section

Playing around with this now, thx for the post. Never would have thought this would have been remotely possible ..therefore I never looked for anything like it via market lol.

cool app, but, how does it work?
is it automating the flashing process?
is it changing the boot.ini to make my phone look for the other os install on the sd card?
am I flashing like mad going in between roms?
I find these questions need to be answered first before I install this.
the way I understand it is
1.main rom i flashed on my phone internal memory+(kernel)
(on SD)
{
rom2+(kernel)
rom3+(kernel)
rom4+(kernel)
rom5+(kernel)
}
and the app works by flashing an update.zip that changes where the phone looks to boot.
Am I correct in my understanding?
EDIT:
Support thread
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ndroids-first-multi-booter-application-2.html
Useful answers
1. Will this also work if you have a froyo rom and gb rom that you are switching between?
Yes u can install whatever roms u want to whatever slots gb roms froyo roms whatever makes u happy they're all completely separate it's like having 5 different phones basically
**** remember your radios folks we have mr1 and mr2 some roms need separate radios so if you use the app and swap, you wont have any data untill you flash a new one through hboot.
2. Are you saying that when you flash between roms, the app will auto wipe data, cache and dalvik?
The app creates imgs into the slots when u install a fresh rom to a slot u should check all the check boxes to wipe data cache and system but it doesn't wipe the data cache and system on ur phone just the slots data cache and system the app doesn't touch any of ur data on ur phone just makes it's own in the sdcard
3. Let's say I have Chevy's Froyo rom and his SS GB rom on there. If I flash from GB to froyo, then back to GB. Will I have to restore apps?
No each slot is saved all of it's data stays there nothing is ever wiped again just like having five phones basically all of ur slots are completely separate all of ur data is separate and saved nothing is lost

it aint workin right for me. I tried doing an install from the sdcard and it is telling me i dont have enough space. but i have 1.37 gb free!

This app is kick a**! I know one of the devs that made this app back from my D1 days (he was co-creator of one of the best D1 ROM's IMO) and he is an amazing dev! I was lucky enough to test this app and it is def worth the $$ if you're a person that can't decide on 1 ROM or you just like to try all the latest and greatest ROM's that drop.

So my question is...does it run the ROM from the SD card?
If so...how is the speed/lag once the ROM is booted up?
I like the idea of having different ROMs to test, but I'm wondering how much time you'd be saving if it takes that long to install a ROM initially.
A lot of these Devs have nightlys or almost nightlys....
Very interesting...

looks pretty retarded to me... right up there with rom manager. i cant wait to see how it effs things up for some beginner noobie
not all roms work,you may get FCs during setup... yeah looks pretty amazing.
think ill stick to manually wiping and restoring my nandroids after i get them set up.

That's what has kept me from purchasing it. It's been in the market for a few days now but if the rom runs off the sdcard it could cause issues.

On initial setup do you need to reinstall your current rom?

Yes, it runs from the sdcard. Lag is minimal if you let the kernel settle when you boot one up. On my thunderbolt I don't really notice any lag and i don't even overclock.

[Q] What are you looking for in a custom 8.9 LTE Rom?

So we have root, custom kernel, and now CWM. It is about time we have a custom ROM to flash. Still no developers with the device, but we have gotten this far with the help of other developers without the device. I was thinking we could get a list of requests and then contact the right people and provide them the files they need to modify.
I guess ill start with the most obvious ones.
[*] Root / SU / Busybox
[*] Zipaligned
[*] Deodexed
[*] Ad Blocking
[*] Browser tweaks
[*] Bloatware removal
[*] OC kernel?
[*] CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .hidenandroidprogress built in
[*] Updated stock apps
[*] Extended Power Menu
[*] Theming? (not necessary)
[*] Tethering
Thats all I can think of for now. Once we get a list of things we can begin to find someone with the skills to do it.

Pretty much what you mentioned. And of course the obvious one. ICS is the big want and I know it will take some time. Preferably right now a cleaned up stock rom and themes would be cool.

So i installed linux on my netbook along with dsixda's ROM kitchen. I dont know much but ill see what i can do.

so yea.
so far i can create a ROM which is bloatware free, zipaligned, deodexed, rooted, CWM w/ hidenandroidprogress, updated system apps, with or without OC kernel, and with tethering. sweet.
basically teaching myself though so it may be a while.

I'm not really active on these forums, but I'm also available for testing on my i957. (Wasn't allowed to post in the dev forum until I hit 10 posts)

Yep all the above. the main thing is to get rid of this UI lag.

On my 8.9 LTE i just used another launcher and it was gone...

I'm using another launcher and it's almost gone. I still get forces. I really want to do a full restore of the original rom before any roots and try to push the OC and libs again. The stock ROM I was given by Croak only helps recover from issues but not the ones I mentioned. It never had force closes or any weird issues before. But since the OC it's been running kinda crazy.

Thanks Orlando for the initiative!
In addition to what you have written, If possible, I would also would love to have:
1. Icons representing cellular speed (2G,3G,H,H+,4G) as on my SGS2.
2. JKAY mod. I don't know if this mod is SGS2 only mod or not. , but if it is possible to port it to our tab it would be great.
Thanks

I am not a dev by any means. I just dont have the time to teach myself all of the ins and outs that sammy devs and AOSP devs do. I give them so much credit. Coming from years of a windows base and no programming experience, its tough. I cant make up for what real devs can do, but for now I think I can get a ROM out which will be decent until we can get some real help.

I thnk as soon as we get a good stable, flashable, deodexed base it will open up a lot more easily implimented possibilities for theming and adding/subtracting little odds and ends that differentiate some of the different major ROMS.
My suggestion is to just work on good stable base ROM with fully functioning basics first and let the community work it from there.

I really need to fix the update-binary and the update script in order for this to work in CWM.
but basically I just did simple automated tasks. Kitchened from my nandroid.
Rooted
Superuser
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Da_G Overclock Kernel
NoFrills OC App
Custom Libs for OC
Asus Water Wallpaper
Asus Weather Widget
Titanium Backup
Rom Manager (Dont Use It)
Custom Boot Animation Enabled
Bash Shell Support
CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .nandroidprogress
If it turns out that the nandroid wont work well, then the stock will have to be modified, which means basically just deodex, root, zipalign. thats about all I can do. I wish i knew more about the whole android system but sadly i dont. i am trying to teach myself but it is going to be slow, so i pray we get a real dev soon.

Whatever you can do man is much appreciated. I wish I had a coders heart and talent. Because spend enough time on a PC to be able to contribute if I could this type of coding.

I thought I had everything set and tried to flash and just got bootloops. Then I just took the stock ROM and made a flashable zip from the stock firmware and that didn't even boot. Really discouraging and it took forever to get my tab back to working. Might be better just to wait for someone who knows what they are doing.

Take it easy... Did you took the $7 AT&T insurance for the tab? Usually the AT&T sales rep. does not even know that there is an insurance option for this tab. I went online and saw there was insurance... And mentioned it to the AT&T rep. when buying the tab and he said there was no insurance option... And I told him, yes there is! And he double check and finally realized there was insurance. I took it, because I know the feeling of converting into a brick a brand new shiny device, lol... And look where I am...
