A rom that works the radio - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have already installed cyanogenmod 7 but the radio doesn't work...I have installed many modems but they don't work.So i want a rom that is stable.fast and the radio works...

Did you already try the GingerReal Rom ?

Try stock or deodexed stock JVQ. From my experience this ROM encompasses the best combination of stability, "buglessness" (does this word even exists?) and speed (after lagfix). No battery drain, no strage bugs which aren't known to the users of a forum.
You can find installation instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to install skins from above thread.
The only problem with deodexed version is laggy browser which isn't too big of a deal. You can always use Dolphin browser or try some of fixes avaliable on forum.

It s only the browser who lag? Nothing else?

I have a problem with the radio only...

download the radio in my sig

Thank you but it doesn't work....

So is there a rom that the radio works?

I found that on miui it doesn't work and on cm 7 only with samsung's headsets works...

Darky's ROM issues and small questions :D

Hi guys,
I've just installed Darky's 9.5 Extreme (Dark core kernel, no lag fix). I have some question (if you have time and you are in the mood to answer maybe silly questions ):
- the phone doesn't seem to be faster than with 2.2.1 (JPY) previously installed. I have 170+ apps installed
- I've installed the ROM using CWM. As I understood initially it wiped all existing system data, except for installed applications.
- the phone lags sometime. Shouldn't this be the fastest rom ever?
- when I have the browser open and browse 10 minutes the home launcher restarts (Zeam, Xperia Arc, GO Launcher EX, TWLauncher).
- I cannot select text anymore in the browser
- the touchscreen responsiveness seems to be degraded. And mostly it impacts the browser.
Should I do something more to get a smoother experience? Your answers will be much appreciated
I installed the v9.5 and according to me it is no where near as stable or as smooth as the v8.0...
I went back to 8.0 in half a day..
I would suggest you try that too if you don't have the need to be on the latest rom..
About the issues you pointed out I can add to that lost of bugs and issues but it is what it is..
It's not the device but the rom..
Have only ever flashed darky's rom so all I can say is v8.0 is the best for stable no nonsense usage..
If there is anything specific you would like to ask please do so..

That's nonsense!
Just messing with you JJE
If I wan't to make a clean install of 9.5 what should I do? Go into Darky's Rom Configurator and select Wipe the device? Is this enough? And after that reapply the ROM using CWM?
I think you are supposed to update your PDA to XWJS8 as well
Worked for me,
Good luck,
Nitro
What i was trying to put across was that for some reason the majority of problems on this forum are headed Darky rom lesson in itself i would have thought .
Nothing against the guy but help for his users does not seem to exist within his own pages .
Why so many post with problems i dont know but their is a user choice try another developers rom .

Suggest a ROM for GPS and music please.

Hi!
I've been using my Galaxy S (I9000 16gb) with Darky's 10.1 and Voodoo for a couple of months and now i have flashed latest Darky's 10.2. I understand that Darky is working hard on his releases, but for several reasons i don't like 10.2 version at all.
Can you please recommend me a good fast ROM with good modem part for a GPS and latest version voodoo kernel? I constantly use GPS and listen to the music so these are the crucial parts. Or maybe just separate modem and voodoo kernel that I can flash on a Cyanogenmod for example.
Thank you!
Try doctorz rom....click on my sig.

GPS depends on region, I'm from Europe.
Also u should try newest Darkys based on JVQ cuz they wont continue JVR development.
hmm , with all the music controls on the lockscreems aamd all the optional lockscreens you get with the nexus S gps fix , I wonder why nobody has suggested my rom .
Older ROM
I've upgraded to both JVR and JVS ROMs, but always found myself going back to the JVQ ROM instead, and just flashed updated system apps, etc.
Battery life is poor on the upgrades, and not as efficient...some are quite slow.
The best (fastest and most stable) ROM I've tested is F1 SGSII ROM Faryaab V6.
The developer released v7 of this ROM (JVR), but not as good, so again downgraded.
I've tried close to 10 ROMs (JVP, JVQ, JVR, JVS), including the stock ROMs for these upgrades, but none are better.
I suggest, if there is a ROM you like, use it, then just search/browse for apps you liked from other ROMs and create your custom feel.
market doesn't work
Thank you guys! I have flashed Darky's 10.3 and now I can't download any apps from the market, it just keeps saying something like "Starting download". I experienced same thing on 10.2. What is the problem? This is ROMs fault or something is wrong with settings? Everything was working back on the 10.1.

Which version of Android Market do you have?
Some of the newer custom ROMs clash with the older version of the market for no particular reason. Do a google search for version 3.0.27, which I think is the latest for Market. Install the apk and hopefully your problems are resolved.

I had old one. Installed 3.0.27 and the problem is still there.
Try the App "GPS AIDS" (I know its a goofy name) from the market.

[Q] Upgrading From Honecomb 3.1 to 3.2

Hi people,
Having an issue with my GT 8.9" P7300 3G.
Trying to flash the kernel with _Motley's version so i can overclock the CPU, using the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344330
The thing is my device's android version is 3.1 and when I press on Software update from setting -> about device, i get nothing , it says i have the latest version.
However, in Motleys tutorial there's no zip file for 3.1 3G, I download and flashed the wi-fi one for 3.1 and it was installed with no problems, the only thing obviously was the 3G.
Anyhow, i decided to upgrade the ROM from 3.1 to 3.2 so then I could flash the kernel. Am i doing the right thing? Do I have other (better) alternatives?
Yet, i couldn't find any way to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2.
Please give me advises on doing so, any help is very much appreciated.
You can flash any stock 3.2 P7300 rom you find in development section. This is the newest > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443475
You can find a guide on how to use Odin there > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
For the firmware i linked to, you only need to use the "PDA" button to select the .md5 file you downloaded. Don't touch any other settings.
Cool,
Thanks. I'll give this a try and come back with the result...
EDIT:
Forgot to ask you: does the ROM you post the link to have support for 3G too?
I see in your signature you have Android 4.0.3 P7300 alpha1, have you done overclocking for your device too?
Do you suggest to me to upgrade to 4.0 instead of 3.2? Just want to have your opinion
Installed and its running OK.
The 3G is also fine... only one thing: the loading at boot takes a bit longer time than 3.1.
But its OK ... not a big deal.

I don't see the need to OC ICS. Everything runs a lot faster even without OC. But keep in mind that it's a alpha, camera and hw video acceleration doesn't work.
Overclocking does not really help. I flashed motley and made extensive benchmarks to compare before and after and the improvements per marks were promising. But when it becomes to lagging, u will experience more lags whencit comes to overclocking. So i dont recommend it. Aside of battery drainage.

[Q] What ROM should I choose

Hello, i use custom rom of gingerbread (XXJW4) with semaphore kernel and now i'm thinking about ICS or jelly bean. Are these versions stable and every functions of my I9000 will work? Could you recommend me any ROM + kernel? I don't know which one I should choose. I'm still not sure if i really need ICS or JB, but I want to change my actual ROM, because it isn't so stable. Actually what will change for me? I've installed go launcher so newer touchwiz will be probably unused.

I have one more question.
I use 'hacked' camera and fm radio apks from this forum (without low battery lock and some other features). I can't imagine that I couldn't use camera below 15% of battery if my I9000 can still work for next few hours of awake. I can see these mods are builded for Froyo, GB, e.g.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835 Will I be able to use it with android 4.1?

Short answer, No
Although to be honest, I'm unsure if there is such a restriction in Cyanogenmod (the ROM I use).
CM10 is completely stable (despite there being no official "stable" release as yet).
Non-Samsung ROMs do not have Samsung Apps which include the FM Radio App.
As such, Cyanogenmod does not have FM radio support inbuilt, but you can install Spirit FM either the free version (restricted) from xda or paid, full version from the Play Store.
Skip ICS. The media bug in it is a pain in the **s. Really annoying.
All JB roms here are good, just check the correspondent OPs carefully.
thanks for your answers, so i will try this cyanogen10 JB, but earlier I have one more question
Is there any kernel for I9000 which implements the two-way-call-recording function?
I didn't see a call recording function since gb... Would be nice to know if that is still possible?
@alexri, i saw call-recording apps especially for i9000 only for Froyo. Do you know any good app for GB?
I tried many 'MIC recording apps' from google play, but in everyone when the recording starts my caller stops to hear me (in some apps it happens instantly, in others just in about 1st or 2nd second of call). I try also Total Recall and his 'strategies' of recording, but always the problem cames up. I think my ROM locks that function so this is the next reason of my looking for new soft.
Anyone using RemICS-ux on an I9000M? Every post I've seen suggests its close enough to the international version not to have issues.
RemICS uses the XXJVT modem. Should I use the KG3 modem if I flash it? Thanks.
Hi,
Plz suggest any stable & working Jelly Bean ROM with FM Radio.

For the bluesleep process that pervent your device to enter sleep mode you should take a look if it's a bug of the rom and if it's reported from other users. I think that the Wi-Fi is maybe a problem due to a not perfect flash of the rom. In anyway wipe everything, format system and sd card, than reflash the rom, you migh be good to go.
P.S. Try to freez bluesleep with greenfy and see what appen. This could be call a temporary fix if you don't care that much about Wi-Fi.
Good luck and have a great life

Bluesleep is the problem with Bluetooth in ICS rom with non ICS kernel. gonna try Ics kernel now. but for someother devices there is flashable fix for bluesleep.
wifi problem has been ter since stock ROM. i think its related to Baseband. Am searching for a good baseband for India.
Also can you suggest me a decent MIUI rom which work without lag. the rom which i was is without lag but the only problem is bluesleep & the previous wifi one

The rom you may looking for is a slimmed rom based on stock 2.3.6 rom by Samsung with Battery Extender kernel. The fastest and less battery-eater rom is the AOSP GB but has no working 3G connection so that's why you may not like it. Custom ROM suffers some instability some times and they're not perfect so that's why you should use on a phone you use for your job a stock based rom, in my opinion.
P.S. Do you really need a MIUI rom updated to a newer version of Android?
Also i have one more doubt. when i moved to custom kernel the boot logo animates like my phone gonna die i9s that normal or due to some voltage fluctuations ??

No problems at all, it's "normal" (i know sounds weird XD) when you flash a kernel that do not came with the rom itself. I've never faced instability related to voltages even in overclock. Remember that not every CPU is capable of the same overclock. If you doubt about stability do a stress test of cpu trough an app (I use it to test oveclock frequecies).
