Firmware version= 2.3.3
Baseband version= I9000XXJVO

Build number= DarkyROM JVH v10.1
My phone always " force applications close". So,I want to try install ICS (look stable and smooth) in my phone but questions is which rom and kernel should i use..thank you for your concern

ive been using it quite a while now and havent switched, im using a diferent kernel however, devil 14.2 but i hear 1.1.5 is just as good haven't tested yet
i would just use default settings and tweak as you get used to it, you can download nstools from market for tweaking also voodoo sound for audio tweaking

As above but don't forget to do a Nand backup. Some people have lost there IMEI numbers flashing Team ICSSG. (myself included - if it wasn't for the backup it is a mission to get the emia number back) I tried Team ICSSGS first and haven't looked back.
Semaphore 0.9.1 or Semaphore 0.8.1 are both great kernels. They both have similar speed as devil but have better battery life. (I've tried Devil 15.1 & 14.2, Semaphore 0.8, 0.8.1, 0.9 & 0.9.1)

ICSSGS RC4.2 doesn't have IMEI missing issue.
I tried installing top of stock ROM.
Just do a backup of "efs" folder which holds all the device identity details.
Incase if you loss your IMEI, you can simply replace "efs" folder to resolve the issue.

[Q] Kernel on my phone?

Can someone help me and tell me which kernel I'm using on my phone?
If I go to About phone, I can see under Kernel version:
"[email protected] #3"
Someone talking about stock, Glitch, Semaphore ... but I can't find any of this in my kernel version.
Otherwise, I use ICS AOKP build 27.
In thread about AOKP I read that Glitch is recommended. If I change kernel (with CWM) to Glitch, I will loose everything, if I understand, what kernel is?
Can I use Titanium Backup to restore everything back?
Thanks in advance for every helpful information.

Flashing kernel doesn't wipe anything (well maybe some kernel related things, but you wouldn't notice it), so it's quite safe to flash new kernel (well you should always be prepared to problems..for example, to use Odin to fix bootloop).
But for just to be safe it's always wise to have a up-to-date backups and/or a nandroid backup (made via CWM).
You'll find more info from those kernel threads..

You have right - we must be prepare for anything
But - do you know which kernel I'm using?

Sorry, that I can't tell you, since I'm a CM9 user maybe it's a aokp stock kernel..what ever it is..

[Q] question about kernel selection

I am using (was) JW6 but because of connectivity problems I had to leave it and now rely on the forum to advice me as to which JW6 I should download and install since the Australian download went bad on me. I live in Thailand but Asia section does not have the 2.3.6 version at all.
My question is :
Which particular version of JW6 to download.
How to root. ( would JW4 root do ? )
Kernel.
Which kernel should I use. And that , does selection of the right kernel for the firmware determine connectivity, smoothness, etc ? ( especially connectivity ? )
Await your kind reply ,
Thanks !
Hey have you ever completely wiped your phone, meaning reformat internal sd wipe both caches and wipe data, reflash base. You seem to be having some problems and bouncing from rom to rom is not going to solve it if you just carry your problems to the next rom. Wipe your phone completely and go from there.

Thanks. I will start format now.

[Q] How to change kernel semaphore to devil?

Hello, i have few question to ask. I've installed ics333 rom in my sgs 3 days ago and i've prob with battery drain out, camera focus not nice compared to before using froyo and yesterday i noticed that the battery indicator has missing. I heard devil kernel quite stable. How to change kernel? If i want to change to slim ics how to do that? Hope somebody can guide me. Thanks
Hello,
I suppose your phone is root.
If I right, You have to go in CWM mode (combo with Button sound up+menu+power)
then, in this mode : install zip from internal SD then look for the files of the Slim : (base+common). But don't forget the Wipe (take a look here : http://www.slimroms.com/installation.htm)
It is the same operation with the kernel
meaning i've to change ics333 to slim ics right? root mean got superuser in the phone?
which devil kernel you can suggest?

Problems with AOKP JB Build 2

just updated from Helly bean to AOKP JB BUILD 2 (using semaphore as the default kernel) and I have some questions and problems:
EDIT:
5) most important:
I have a serious battery drain.. I lose over 60% battery in 1 night! (I used to lose only 3%...)
in settings->battery I see 'android OC- 41%' and I dont know which application cause it..
, the phone is awake almost all the time..
what do to?
1) when phone is plugged in to the computer, in "my computer" I can only see Internal storage as 'removable disk' but I can not see my external 32GB SD card.. I could always see it(total two 'removable disk'.. ) and now I see only 1 :/ whats wrong?
(of course the external sd card is available for use on phone and my galaxy s recognizes it, when I connect the sd card without the phone, I see it perfectly, therefore there is nothing wrong with the sd card)
2) cant install devil kernel... :/ whenever I try switching to devil kernel, after the installation the phone reboots, starts, however the rom never loads and I have to re install the whole rom.. why? I could install devil kernel on Milestone 6.. :/
. im using the latest semaphore version and im trying to flash via recovery devil kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1795274
3) why there are no OC functions? I can not overclock over 1000, I just do not have another options..moreover voltage settings are not supported on this kernel.. and even NSTools program is irreverent for this specific kernel and I can not use it.. I do not have that 'blicking' option, dont have the regular cheduler, and has only 5 govemor options.. I dont get it why semaphore is very poor of settings and why AOKP decided using it anyway..
so someone knows which kernel should I use or how to fix it?
4) do you guys think AOKP will add more settings is BUILD 3? and when will it be released?
and just an advice for all of you whos using AOKP JB:
***Gapps link is broken is Build 2, so I have flashed the gapps which in Build 1 and its working great! if you have any issues with the gapps in B2, just go to build 1 and download from there
first thing you can ask the question in the rom thread...however to answer your question here you go:
1. which semaphore version you are using try switching to latest one...
2. which devil version you are trying to flash...
3. no idea i never oc the cpu..
4. yep...there might be although i am not using the akop version so not sure
5. yes i think flashing old gapps is fine till you are able yo use phone.
New semaphore app is with sema manager! Available oc and etc..

CyanogenMod (CM) 9 is really outdated. If you want a good, fast ROM I can recommend Slimbean. It's largely based on CM. You can find more info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
Detailed instructions can be found in that thread and on the slimrom website.
Coming from Gingerbread you'll need to install CM10 first, otherwise you will lose your IMEI, which will render your phone unable to make or place calls. Once on CM10 you can then flash Slimbean.
Or using an newer version of CM

Now that i got the cm10 ive searched around videos on youtube and seen lot of ppl kinda overclocking it with diferent kernel...
I want to do it like with semaphore or some kernel thing... can someone explain to me how it is done and if it is good for the phone?
Some infos:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband vers: I9000xxJVT
Kernel version: 3.0.76-gc0a8d45
Memory: 369 mb
Cm vers: 10.1.2-galaxysmtd
Okay different kernel i have no experience with it ,sorry...
But overclocking is available with the stock-kernel in CM 10 ...to about 1200mhz in the performance menu under your settings ...have you activate developer options and performance...do you know how to do it???

Your clock isnt stable go download semaphore kernel or devil kernel and flash it in recovery and try then over clocking with their kernel managers.

Some Qs:
Do i flash semaphore kernel same way i installed ROM?
Will semaphore replace current ROM (cm10)??
Did some1 had any problems with semaphore kernel ? like bricking the phone? is it stable?
Is anyone at the current time having cm10 with smaphore kernel overclocking at 1.2ghz ?
Does Sgs i9k support the overclock stable?

You flash semaphore the same way you flashed your rom and it will replace stock cm kernel your rom will stay the same make sure you flash the right version to avoid any bricking. It makes cm run better. Overclock depends on your phone some people can overclock high some not so much. Download semaphore changer governor to sio and liveoc to 110% and set min frequenci 400Mhz. That should be enough to make it supper smooth

EDIT: make sure after flashing to download semaphore manager from the playstore its like a control panel for semaphore where all the settings are and i repeat make sure you flash the right version for your android version and phone i9000.

I don't get it why do you want to flash another kernel? Aren't you happy now with smooth CM10.1x? Here on this forum are many flashing freaks who flash and overclock their phones until the device completely crashes.
CM10.1x is excellent already way it is, if you want to even improve it (first of all to get about double battery life) just upgrade it to the newest nightly version of CM10.2 tomorrow (build 20130828), it will finally have all bigger bugs fixed. Very soon, stable CM.10.2 build will be released out of this nightly. This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385178
If you want to do it, just mind that the developer (pawitp) doesn't mention anymore installing gapps, so this would be the workflow from your present ROM:
Do a Nandroid Backup of your CM10.1.2 build before the upgrade!
Go to CWM recovery mode and check first in "install zip" if your zips of the CM10.2 and Gapps for 4.3 are visible on your internal SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
Install the nightly ROM zip from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Install Gapps for CM10.2 (Android version 4.3) while still in recovery
Restore /data from Nandroid Backup (the update will wipe your /data) while still in recovery
Reboot system
The partition layout of CM10.2 (beginning from 20130816 nightly) differs of that of CM10/CM10.1. The first install will wipe your /data to switch to the new layout, but after that you may use CWM to restore/backup data of CM10/10.1/10.2 (in CWM recovery under "advanced restore" then "restore data" from your CM10.1 nandroid backup)
This way done, you should have all data, wallpaper, widgets and apps like in your CM10.1 right after the reboot. And wait until tomorrow, when the 20130828 nightly gets released. I've been using "buggy" builds (nightlies between 24 and 27 Aug) without any problems, but some people had problems with them.
