Recently I went back to a stock looking android ROM.
For now I've chosen Improvement v5 ultralite + Dark Core Kernel v 2.7.3.
Everything with the ROM works just fine, but the stock theme still bothers me.
I've downloaded 3 different themes for JVB. Everytime I try to install the .zip through CWM (v3.0.2.whatever) it tells me E:/*path* couldnt be opened (bad). installation aborted... (or something similar).
Tried to install some apps through CWM (>gtalk 1.3b) and it worked just like it should. Flashing other ROMs also worked out fine with that new version of CWM.
Does anyone know whats wrong?!
btw I used a MIUI ROM before...
Thank you in advance
Sounds like it could be a legacy left from miui, maybe try a clean instal?

When you say android rom do you mean aosp, or sammy rom?
Insanity cm 012/glitch
Its based on a samsung rom.
I did a full wipe before. I've started from a froyo based Rom (darkys resurrection) with re-partion, then flashed a samsung jvb rom with bootloaders and finally the custom rom. Did I miss something?

Btw I didnt format the internal sd card, so the content is still the same there.
Anyway I didnt have any problems since the new flash...its just that I cant install themes...

I'm not familiar with miui, so might be worth having a check over there with regard to info on reverting back to samcrap rom
Insanity cm 012/glitch
Hey dont blame the samsung roms I swapped back because I needed full working 720p recording and better battery life...I hate the stock rom's ui but its the only way to go since I wanted a phone for everyday use with everything working...
Do you have an instruction for rolling back from cm/miui? I still didnt find anything...thanks for your attention mate

I agree with your sentiments, unfortunately no knowledge of reverting procedures but will keep my eyes peeled

Its funny...just found out the files were corrupted (<10kb). So I downloaded once again and it works now...surprise

asked be4 about which rom is the best one before i bought the galaxy tab
now i bought an used galaxy tab but with good condition so im new here " a noob "
and honestly i get cofused with all the topics and guides and answers ,,, it is like a paradox for me !!!
i want to install AOKP rom but from what i read it require overcome rom be4 i install it ... i need to know why !! my galaxy tab seems to be in stock rom gb why i cant install aokp rom without these dilemma ?
and there are alot of word i dont understand like MTD , modems , drivers , kernals , etc
and also there are liks from overcome are dead ,,, Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe.zip ,,,Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip,,,Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar,,,Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.zip,,, modems
so if u please guide me how to install it from the beginning to the end i will be very pleased
The why : you need to use CWM to flash ics, and overcome kernel has it.
There are others but the method may not be reliable.
Here to get overcome

links are down !!!
also i need a detailed guide please
Which link are down?
You only need gb stock safe.
Kernel tar is attached in that post I link to.
Detail guide is a PDF in the docs link.
What else you need? All are there.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
only gb stock safe ?
what about overcome 7 wipe ? overcome 7 nowipe ?
and what about modems ? which one i use ? or dont use any one ?
Gb stock safe package contains modem.
There is no need to flash overcome rom.
Only up to overcome kernel, you have cwm.
Use that to flash ics.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have clean Gingerbread.
But since you want ICS, continue reading the guide.
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot

Hey, you don't sleep. Do you
Great you are now on AOKP like me. You won't regret.
Grab an external SD and learn to do Android backup from recovery.
And move it to external SD for safe keep.
And also learn titanium backup, also choose to backup to external is better in that one.
Samsung uses touchwiz framework for many of its app. So you can't have them in aosp based rom like cm9 and AOKP, or even miui.
But head to the application and theme sub forum. There are a few that runs.
Camera known issue.
Super user built in. You can now run Titanium backup that requires root.
Or es file explorer my favorite, in root mode and system mounted read write. Terminal too, just type su in the terminal shell and you get root.
Rom control, ask in AOKP thread in dev.
Also nav bar, ask in dev if that can be done.
I mostly run stuff in standard mode.

again thank alot
i will ask there
@priyana:
Hi, I have a question, actually two:
1. Does GSM work on AOKP out of the box?
2. Is it supposed to work on CM9 ICS 4.0.4? This is what I have now, 3G works but when I make a call hear the tab ringing but my phone does not.
I bought this baby used in top shape and I would really like to get the phone function working.
Thanks in advance
yes GSM should work on both AOKP and CM9 since they use the same device tree.
I understand Canada has different GSM/UMTS frequency than us in europe/asia/australia ? the default baseband in AOKP and CM9 is JPZ
In your default stock firmware, can you have 3G and also make phone call?
You need the same modem, if you can remember which baseband you are using in stock.
Else we just have to look around what works for you.
Go to the modem thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727
and try get the AT&T modem,
BUT DONT FLASH the zip via CWM in ICS.
backup your /radio/modem.bin first.
just unzip the zip and find the modem.bin and copy and paste to /radio/modem.bin
reboot and check the baseband and try your 3G and call.
Thanks man, I will try it and let you know. I got the unit used and with the mentioned ROM already on it.
The baseband that I have is P1000XXJPZ
Once again, thanks
Hmm, yeah, it didn't work...
I tried the steps found in the Overcome guide and I restocked after that I stopped and tried calling and ... IT WORKED!
I am now rebooting after flashing the overcome kernel (it's doing some conversion to ext3) ...
All that's left after that is to flash the rom... OK, it's booting, let's see what's next
OK CWM recovery does its thing...done, rebooting. Can't wait to try the voice call feature... And it works also!
I am pretty happy with the results of my 15 minutes of work.
Anyone needing stuff, I am ready to help
What radio are you using in overcome?

I am actually using the defaults. It's the same radio as in the previous ROM, JPZ.

What rom I can install on my phone? And after i install a rooted rom I can remove google apps? And afte if I want I can get back stock rom?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
Well if you have searched the development section - you would have probably known that there ain't much Roms available !
And yes you can remove stock apps after rooting .
Also you can get back to stock by flashing firmware of your region via odin
The devs are still trying to get a working recovery to us. Give it time.
My note was just fine, i was using paranoid rom with nx kernel on it, then i just saw a new 4.1.2 rom (sweet ROM) i backed up my rom & then flashed the rom & speed mod kernel as well, i noticed when trying the camera something was wrong the icons were rotating like if i was moving the phone from vertical to horizontal constantly i decided to go back but was just crazy i got the same result.. googling i found some GS2's some gyroscopes were broken because a file some of'em because upgrading to ICS and others beacuse flasing just rom's i'd like to call for ur help guys thanks in advance cheers
Did you flash Sweet rom from nxkernel? If yes then that might have sonething to do with it not sure though.
Flash some TW based kernel (say Philz) and then do a full wipe and install Sweet Rom and see if it helps. Before that take backup of your apps.
Good luck

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
