[Q] 2.3.3 ROM

Hi,
I install Samsung Leak ROM 2.3.3.
And I would like to install new custom ROM.
Can you recommend me what ROM I should install and what are the steps ?
I have Galaxy S I 9000
Best advice for you is to look around the Development section at what ROMs are available. All are very well made and the threads for them are usually very informative and give easy to follow instructions to allow you to flash the custom ROM.
You should be careful posting questions like this, some people may flame you a bit as they'll tell you that you should just look into the threads and learn

They post that stuff because someone who doesn't know how to get back to 2.2.1 shouldn't have installed 2.3.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
should help you out abit mate, remember any 2.3.3 will not be completly stable,, im on darkys 9.3 Rom with 2.2.1 i think i wil wait till Gingerbread is official and a good rom like Darkys V10 is final before i make the jump.
Official gingerbread as of now .So it will be in the rom kitchens soon and adapted by the end of the week .
Best rom choice build your own in the rom kitchen .

Or read the threads on roms in Development and read the help posts on the forum to see which roms continually break phones .

Which is the best I9000 Gingerbread ROM on XDA!!!

Hi all,
I've had a GT-I9000 for over 6 months now and I haven't really tried too much stuff on it except for an official firmware update and OCLF, and as an XDA member this is my first post.
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2 (I9000DDJP2, kernel 2.6.32.9), everything was fine until my phone started to lag like hell and lots of force closes and reboots which is really pissing me off now. I was planning to wait for the official gingerbread update, however I think XDA already has tons of Gingerbread ROMS out there ready to be flashed. Also, I saw a few videos of I9000 running cyanogenmod which looked awesome. So i decided to give it a shot.
I'm a total noob at flashing, and to be honest, this will be my first time trying it out. Can you please suggest which is the best gingerbread ROM out there for I9000 and can it be flashed using ROM manager or do i need to follow the ODIN method.
Also, one very very dumb question , what is the difference between a ROM and a kernel, and is it required to flash both of them separately, if yes then which one should go first.

You need to read everything, especially if you don't know the difference between a kernel and a rom. You are no where near flashing, I'm saying this so you don't brick your phone.
Go to general thread and read through the stickies as these will lead you in the right direction. Once you have understood all of them, then proceed to flash.
Cyanogen is not for beginners so stay away.
Gingerbread roms that are supposed to be good are Juwes, Insanity, Simply Honey and Doc's. There are many GB roms but these seem to be the most popular.
Read everything until you know everything for sure and then go and flash
Good luck

Thanks for your reply... I'll start off with the reading i suppose, coz obviously i dont wanna brick my device... I've read that Insanity can be flashed directly using ROM Manager... Is this true?? If yes then can I try that one first, coz it seemed to be an easy enough method to flash a custom rom...
You also have to understand that Gingerbread is in effect Beta not released and devs still working on it in XDA . If you are capable of unbricking your phone dont mind breaking it then carry on otherwise wait for official release update through official method backup the firmware then customize as you want .

Congratulations, this was the 386th identical "I am a noob and can't be bothered to read much or use search but what is the best Gingerbread ROM?" thread.
Sorry, only the 1000th such thread will win our grand prize, a year's supply of DataAde, the cool, refreshing brick in a can.
However as a consolation prize, you receive the home version of our game as well as the same answer the 385 previous contestants received...."All are good but it is a very subjective thing, try them all and see which one suits you best."

Well usually I would ignore such a flaming reply, but since you are soooo good with statistics, i'm guessing you have nothing better to do than to count the number of noobs on XDA...
Well if so is the case, then best of luck, you might just reach 1000 since not everyone is an expert like you...
No one faults the fact that you are new to Android, in many ways we all are, especially myself. However, there are numerous posts that explain and educate that are meant to be READ, not just skipped in the hope that someone will tell you the magic secret of Android while standing on foot.
XDA is one of the greatest resources you will find for learning about Android and finding the best software solution for you....use it. It will be time well spent.

How about responding with a link to a thread that does have good information on available Gingerbread ROMS. I have searched and have not found it yet. Obviously based on your response there are hundreds of threads about this topic. Why not offer up at least one that we can check out? Obviously I am not typing in the exact magical phrase in the search box that reveals this supposedly abundant information.

Unless you are going to do high levels of modding or building from source, you don't need any language expertise

Okk. Thanks for the feedback.
I heard that s5830i has no GPU?
That's going to be really hard to make a rom for this device, because i don't think it will get anywhere near RC.

[Q] Help with getting ICS ????

HI Guys,
I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note n7000 (unlocked version).
It is currently running Android OS: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXLA4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
[email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
Network currently being used: o2 UK.
Now I have tried to update the phone over Wifi to get the latest ICS update, with No luck =(...... I have downloaded and updated to the latest Kies Version and still No luck. Now I have scooted about on the internet and have found so many different articles as to when it will or might be realeased and apparently I should have access to the ICS update by now. THE QUESTION IS: Why cant I upgrade to ICS?????.... and if not, can somone Please be so kind to send me the links to the ROM instructions so I can get this little baby rocking and rolling with the Ice cream sandwitch goodness.
NOTE: I have Rooted and put a custom ROM on my Motorola XOOM tablet so I am not to affraid to get my hands dirty with ROM's. I could do with some instructions that would go through it again to remind me, I just need to find the right ROM so I do not brick it.
Many Thanks guys!!!

Look in the general section for the Cyanogen Mod 9 Discussion, download the latest build and follow the flashing instructions and you will end up with Android 4.0.4 ICS, its not official, its not touchwiz, but hey who needs that when there are great alternatives to everything samsung provide.
Just remember to read the instructions (more than once) and avoid flashing from any other ICS based rom.
Enjoy the ICS goodness.

First, I HAVE done research!, the only reason I asked is due to how quickly things can change with Android ROMs.
Second, Is this how you treat new people instantly with ignorance?.

i see you took a general comment personally, thats not my issue, if you had done your research you would know that ics isnt available via an update
come on guys .. he is new .. he will take some time to get there. We all did
you already got the answer by now.. There is no Samsung official ICS for Note.
As for Custom, there are a lot of options in the Development section.
Follow the instructions to the line and not just follow them but understand them before you proceed.
I hear that CM9 is the best so far.. but i see more patches adding to it on a daily basis to improve it more and more.
As of me .. am on Stunner ICS.. lot of FC's for now .. but a good build.

No, you didn't do "research" - you logged in and typed a stupid question. It is people like you that make this forum almost impossible to find important info - lazy fools who think it is everyone else's job to read the posts and explain them. See my post count? It is not very high. You know why? Because I READ.
Your indignation falls on deaf ears.
Hi,
I have the same device but on Orange (UK).
I also am awaiting the android 4 (ICS) and i have spoken to both Samsung and my network. Their responses are varied, but it is generally the same as other news updates and that is "ICS will be scheduled for release during spring but some networks could be later due to their own testing regimes. The Galaxy s2 has just received the update, the note shouldnt be to far behind".
Another option is to goto facebook and search "samsung mobile uk" and watch the news there, as theyll post on that page once networks release it.
So contrary to popular belief, ics is coming, it does exist (a american AT&T handset in the usa has been spotted with the official build) but it isnt available for general release yet.
Thanks,

I717 aka AT&T Note is a completely different device from our Note, they just share the same name.
So, the fact that they already have ICS means nothing for us here.

Hi,
judging by the specifications on both devices (UK and USA), the differences are limited to storage and processor. the rest of them are just optional differences that make no real difference apart data bandwidths/frequencies etc.
The handsets look the same, work the same, 95% the same hardware wise.
The i7i7 has a Dual Core 1.5 scorpion chip set and the N700 has the dual core 1.4 ARM cortex a9. that is probably the most distinctive and most noticeable difference.
I know that the chipset determines alot of the efficiency and manner inwhich the phone reacts. but considering the chipsets vary between the Galaxy s2 and say, the HTC X one. Both chipsets vastly different, both running ICS, Both sides of the atlantic. I think that American Note running it, and us not yet due to sharing a name only is not the best reply. same as I am sure there are similar differences between the S2 for Asia, and the S2 for Europe and the USA. Yet I think they already have or are getting ICS too.
I hold out hope that we will receive the update soon enough. Once samsung sign it off for the device, it gets passed to the network operators who then in turn rigorously test the device with the new update before deciding to distribute or pursue changes.
It is happening, just wish it would hurry the hell up.
If you really want to see how vastly different they are, pop over to AT&T forum
and try to flash one of their Roms. Come back and tell us how it went.
Different processors equals completely different kernels and drivers. Tell me how
that doesn't equal to different phones, please.
Just saw this on tech news on my flipboard. Available for n7000 and i7i7 according to the news. Say what? *moonwalks out of the room*
Just need it to filter through now

N7000UBLSF Android 4.1.2 for Ultimate Jelly Bean ROM

Dear All,
I have updated my note 1- GT n7000 with Ultimate Jelly bean ROM. One help required is do we have a N7000UBLSF Android 4.1.2 firmware which i can use with this ROM. Also steps to be followed will be useful. I have checked that we can update firmwares but want to double confirm as it seems UBLSF has a better battery backup.
Thanks.
