[Q] newbie questions for cm7 RC4 ROM!!! - Samsung Galaxy Mini

i'm a newbie and dont know much about flashing.
If iam going to flash the cm7 do i need to
-root my device?
-Remove all my files from the sdcard?
-What are the advantages of this ROM?
-And if im going to the phone information setting there it says that the baseband version is S5570XWKQ5 and on the ROMpage its says that only FIRMWARE S5570XXKPI OR XXKPL OR XXKPK is allowed so what can i do about this?
Advanced thanx

1. No
2. No
3. Speed, funcionality and other things.
4. Flash your phone to stock GingerBread firmware named S5570XXKPI etc.

yes, all custom rom is rooted

root will be inbuilt in cm7. u dont need to do anything except for flashing.
u may remove files if u r planning to do a fresh partition.
fast with root, adhoc support, fast, a2sd support.
flash to one of the required baseband versions. available on "sam firm ware . com"

To get the best of cm7, Odin your mini with kxxkpk first. Then odin with cwm. Partition your sd with cwm. Then copy cm7.2, oc kernel, and darktreamor to your sd. Flash your mini with the file you copy in cwm. Between flashing, wipe your data and cache. Use no-frills and a2sdgui for settings

[ask] its possible install rom just on cwm?

Im a noob.. Just sold my hd2tmobile and bought galaxy s i9000 ^^
I want to ask how install rom like Darky rom? On odin or?
Cause last i have hd just switch rom on CWM only..
Im on stock rom i9000DXJPA..
With one click lagfix app from market and this app partitioning my storage to ext2

If you have cwm on your phone then yes you can install roms just using it, usually the roms say if they are CWM versions or if they need Odin. As your looking at darkys rom I can tell you it does let you install it via cwm, and you dont need anything else, just copy the zip to your sdcard card and install.
Thanks...you.r good man hhe

Best ROM/Kernel

Hello Galaxy S Community, I have just purchased a Galaxy S and its coming with android 2.1 stock. I wanna know, whats the fastest and most stable rom for the Galaxy S and whats the fastest and most stable kernel for the Galaxy S?
Edit: I just updated it to 2.3.3 JVN Via Samsung Kies but I am no noob with odin, i just wanted to update via kies .
For stock rom the best kernel is the Sempahore kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
Form CM7/MIUI you can you the glitch kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041532
There are most of kernels, but for stock rom the semaphore kernel is better

I definately dont wanna stay on stock touchwiz cause i dont like the interface. What do you think about the 4.0.4 roms? Does all the hardware work or is it in alpha/beta? What about ICS Kernels? Should i flash ICS or flash a Gingerbread rom (CM7, etc)? Sorry about all the questions but there are so many roms/kernels that I just have no clue which one to use.
You could try latest CM9 nightly with Semaphore 1.2.2 or latest mnics or Devil kernel.
After 3 or 4 circle battery charges I'd think it will offer to you good performance and good battery life, but I'm supposing it.
Try them and after that tell us about
I hope it helps you!
I m using ics333 no bugs, good ram management, good battery life my first rom after buying galaxy S

Flash the ROM with.pit, let it reboot then boot back to download, flash the root kernel, let it reboot and you are on rooted ROM, copy nightly, base, essentials and gapps to sd card, then follow instructions for flashing sequence, after, if you want semaphore download and flash that, make sure you use the s version as slim has the large ram patch

By flashing a safe kernel like Goku, Speedmod or Notecore for your stock TW ICS you'll get a safe cwm...it is up to you which one you prefer, just try them out...
As I know Speedmod is very stable (no oc/uv but battery friendly), Goku is undervolted/not oc'ed (don't know the voltage table) with a 100MHz frequency, but it makes no sence 'cause 100MHz use the same voltage as 200MHz...and finally there is Notecore with an eye more on performance than battery life (but it is good as well regarding battery)...if you decide for Notecore, flash the STD-version first (not every Note can handle the oc'ed version).
To switch from TW ROM to CM9/CM10 it is recommended to go back to GB via PC Odin to do a fullwipe from there to safely switch over to CM9/CM10. Other's only flash Abyss (a GB-kernel) without going back to GB to do the full wipe, but I read something about that there COULD be some problems at the end...you'd NEVER flash CM9/CM10 directly from TW ICS stock or custom ROM!!!
Ok, so happy flashing for you :laugh:
thanks for your rich info advices bro, a few questions.
1. custom kernel will render from official ota updates?
2. will mess up my current app, data? like notecore will reverse sd n ext sd
3. needs to restore backup after flashing?

1.-> I don't think that OTA is possible for rooted devices, but via Kies (yes, this buggy software) you'll get official updates if rooted I've read...I always flash my FW via Mobile Odin. You can get the stock FW's on sammobile f.e.!
2.-> No, Notecore overwrites only the stock kernel...your apps'n'data should be safe! The built-in CWM of Notecore kernel shows the correct paths for internal and external sd!
3.-> Before flashing anything you'd allways backup your apps with TB f.e.! And before flashing the kernel, you'd wipe cache/dalvik cache (not DATA!) or use the jbroid kernel cleaning script (this wipes cache, dalvik and fragments of old kernel for a clean flash)! After a kernel flash there is no need for a restore backup if all went as it should.
When on Speedmod, Goku or Notecore you can also do a nandroid backup before flashing any other kernel (I allways do).
And just to clear things before you'll try to flash...You have a rooted device already???
ok thank you :thumbup:that clears my doubts, yes im already rooted with mobile odin but no cwm injected well m ready to try out..

Okay, here we go...:fingers-crossed:
If you stick with Notecore ( I think so, 'cause this kernel is amazing), you have to flash often 'cause Gavin (g.lewarne) allways is cooking a new creation of his outstanding kernel.:laugh:

You are on custom rom so flash GB firmware, so that you can wipe safely after flash (wipe after flash is required in most of the cases).
A little confused here.... If I flash a GB Rom how am I supposed to Wipe without CWM and Root????
when u r on gb rom.. u can reboot into stock recovery and do a data factory reset. it's 100 % safe

u can but if you are trading ur phone u want to wipe everything and if u install ICS its not 100% safe.. so GB > Wipe > ICS is the best option
I can do that with a Custom GB-Rom too? then CWM > wipe data, and then flashing the original with Odin with the download-mode?
Yes u can .. issue is with stock ICS kernel

[Q] Stock ROM the best ?

Hello, Im on jellybam and I get games little laggy. I done full instal, full wipes, full formats. Everything is clean. And I heard that ICS stock ROM is for best performance and games running very smooth. Is that true? If yes, which one Stock rom I have to install. Im from Lithuania, East Europe. Do I need first downgrade to GB and then write ICS? Or easiest way would be flash GB and try upgrading vie Kies?
I was on JellyBam and have went back to a stock-based rom, but I installed Sammy stock roms first. The process is simple...
1) Download GingerBread rom for your model from here
2) Get Odin, and follow the instructions on the thread to flash GB.
3) You can now either download a stock ICS rom from that thread, or do an OTA update, it's up to you. Using Odin will not increase the counter as it is an official rom.
4) Flash ICS using Odin/OTA
5) DO NOT WIPE ON ICS UNLESS USING A SAFE KERNEL. Personally, I'd go for Philz kernel, so download it and follow the instructions on that thread.
All you need to make sure is to be on a safe kernel whilst on ics. So you can flash ics using odin and the install a safe kernel and do a reset to get going.

Ok, so I need go to GB, then ICS and then to safe kernel, yes? And when I flash safe kernel then I should do full wipe and flash ROM again or just wipe?
Load the rom you want on pc and the corresponding philz kernel to ext sd
You can install ics using pc odin
Once it's done, boot into recovery and install philz kernel and then boot into recovery again and do a factory reset.

As far ics is concerned, most of the ics kernels work with any rom. So worth a try

Download the stock rom you want from the link you were provided above and download the philz kernel for that firmware and flash them in mobile odin. You don't need to flash the kernel after the firmware has been flashed. With mobile Odin you can do it all in just one step.

Well, you can flash kernel at the same time you flash the firmware in mobile Odin by selecting kernel in that option. Your build last three letters have to match the kernel version...check philz thread that is explained in,detail there.
