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.
Hi everyone!
I've been an android user since the G1 and have had many different devices since then(htc magic, sony ericsson xperia x10, lg eve-yuck, htc desire, etc) and I have now just jumped on board with the Galaxy Tab!!!
I'm totally stoked and very happy to be joining everyone here in samsung tablet land, and I just wanted a litttle helping hand to speed things up for me a bit
So basically, I have a GSM tab thru rogers that I have just rooted and installed clockworkmod recovery on. I decided to flash the MoDaCo custom rom on and play around for a bit with no problem. What I need some help with tho, is maybe a brief explaining of the differences between the very few roms available right now for our tabs.. overcome v1.2.3, MoDaCo, etc.
I know for example, when dealing with my desire, there are a bunch of roms all catering to diff needs/wants/etc and they have diff looks and features not to mention diff versions of android-2.1/2.2/2.3
Whats the deal with the galaxy tab? Any help is much appreciated. Opinions are all welcome.
(if 3.0 honeycomb was available I wouldn't be asking this right now lol)
THANKS EVERYONE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO KEEPING UP WITH THE TAB SCENE ALONG WITH YOU ALL!!!!!!
Hi!
i needed some help from you.As you said u have installed the clockworkmod recovery.I have been trying to do that from the past 2 days but im not able to.i have unrooted my samsung tab, and i have checked if the bootloader is locked and it is not.and i have installed the Rom Manager.But when i try to click "FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY" i get and error " error while downloading from server.Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!" Can you please help me with this?
Hey, sorry for the late reply..
I had a few problems starting out with rom manager as well.. You have probably figured it out already, but I would grab the overcome rom that has cwm attached already.. Super easy. Once you get it installed you can easily use rom manager to boot into cwm whenever you like..

Hi Devs,
Can anyone answer the question, Is it possible to dual boot i9000 with different custom Roms?
it is possible and is under development, but has not been completed yet, as im sure you can understand how difficult it must be.
I don't think I would be game enough to try that..
Good question

Very Possible (i think)
Galaxy S is a kind of mini compact compute,
using the bootloader, using two kernels side by side on the phone.
as logical question , this my logical answer.
i think by this year, smart developers will reach that point instead of focusing on thems ,app and wallpapers.
this is intresting
thanks

That bootloader thing isn't as easy as you might think
And you have to figure out how to partition the phone because two roms mean two /system and, as far as I know, the space is lean as it is now.
It should be possible but I don't want to be the guy who does it (although I would respect that man (or woman) a great deal)
Well multi boots require separate partitions plus a multi boot loader. Quite an ask for a phone. in theory possible, but sounds pretty difficult to me.

whilst its not really dual boot you could use CWM to make backups and restore the different roms if you want to regularly switch? not what you are asking I know but a work around perhaps.
i would be happy for an app that runs a system of the sd card, kinda like how they used to run android on the HD2. Click the app and it would boot android restart and it boots back to winmo coz thats whats on the NAND .
This would good for people that want to test a ROM, mod it, theme it without flashing the orgional ROM. A Virtual machine if you will

hey guy i have think about what you said if dev can develope multi loader like computer that can we have both winphone 7 with android or maemo with bada or meego with ios! that sounds good and i think we can do that cause we have three diffrent storage in galaxy s. that have 2 gig rom that we have used it for android by now and we make it lagfix and change it from rfs to ext. another storage is internal nand that is 8 or 16 gig that we can use for further os like ios. and at last for blue tooth or else we can use external sd storage up to 32 gig i think galaxy s is more up than n900 or hd2 so we can nand and port real os on it!
BootManager - ROM multiboot
Hello, someone knows if this app works on galaxy s i9000?, I have a version of this device sold exclusively here in Brazil it is called I9000B, the only difference for the I9000, is that my tv is digital!
I wud love to hav dual boot - Android n WP7 (like HTC HD2), but having 2 android OS doesnt make any sense!
Actually does so, this way we can enjoy two different roms at the same time, can have the best of two worlds!
No updates? I thought we could just have an entry in the recovery mod which backs up the old kernel, flashes a new kernel, maybe modded to mount the /system and /data filesystems from sdcard images (system.img & data.img), replaces init.rc to avoid problematic mounts, and then boots the other rom. then, to reboot in the original rom, enter recovery and select the default one. I just want to know what are the problems we could find with this method. I can help, if someone is interested in doing this. I'm not a dev, but I can prepare images, edit init.rc, and if you give me the source I may be able to edit the recovery. I really want dual boot on my i9000, to test roms without wipes and backups, to have choice, to have a recovery rom in case something goes wrong with the default one and I'm not at home. For instance, it happened to me, that sometimes I couldn't listen to music when I was on the bus, due to roms' problems. I wish I could boot an emergency rom in cases like that.

no it will not work, becoause of bootpartiton
but i really cant understand , why skilled kerneldeveloper cant develope any dualboot kernel: Main rom at Phone-Rom and second rom just at sd-card
...
...that would be nice to have a dual boot on my samsung !!!!
ok, well I do own an EVO (Spint) that has been rooted and numerous mod's installed and feel comfortable around it (currently running c7 and loving it).
Now I have a new Galaxy S (7 inch) and looking to test some ROM's and wanted to confirm a few basic things b4 I jump in. It came with 2.2 and I am hearing about 2.3, even 3 on it, but is 3 around yet? Having the evo, the market has more items, launchers, etc. which I am assuming is due to the carrier/vendor so I am hoping some new mod's will make it more customizable!
It is rooted (used z4 from my readings, hope that was OK), have the normal stuff installed, but can I simply ROM manager full backup, then d/l some ROM's and play? Upon installing ClockWorkMod recovery it asked to confirm a phone model;
Galaxy S i9000 and Galaxy S i9000 (MTD). Now it's not a phone, there is no carrier, etc. so I am not sure what to select on that.
Lastly is similar to the above, but is the process of flashing, restoring, etc. the same as on the phone? I mean since it's so new, I am a bit concerned with bricking the thing, but since it's not a phone I don't think I need to worry as much.
Thanks to all replies as usual.
All your questions will be answered with a quick visit to the Dev forum. Each thread has a mini/full installation guide on the 1st post
Galaxy Tab came with 2.2 onboard...and if you ever register at Samsung's site, it is listed under smartphones...lot of customization options exist for the tab...
Overcome rom is the best rom out there for the GSM Tab...both Froyo and GB roms are there...GB still in beta though...Overcome comes with its own CWM...it also comes with detailed flashing instructions so no worries...
Z4root is fine...have that installed and it works as good as anything else...
Don't think rom manager has the correct Rom for this...the tab is P1000 or other variants and the ones you mentioned looks to be for the Galaxy S phones...

I did continue my reading from last night and saw overcome seems to be the 'weapon of choice'.
I will start simple and register, then start to look at the flashing process and how it differs from the EVO regarding full backup (just in case), mod changes etc.
Looking forward to this new route to go down.
Thanks.
So please excuse my noobness on this question. I have a galaxy tab 7 inch tab for t mobile. I have rooted the tablet but I am having a hard time putting roms on the device. I have rom manager but I want to know what is a good rom that I can install using rom manager. Are there any honeycomb roms. Im new to this so is it much deeper than using rom manager to put them on the device. I know I have to have clockworkmod installed. Thanks for help or suggestions in advance
