Now that i have done the one click rooting to my phone"nexus one 2.2 Froyo with ""universal androot"" I was just wondering what would be the BEST rom to install on my phone.What advice would you give me with your experiences. what extra things do i need to consider putting on my phone. what would be a good security apps to hold intruders from getting in my phone..i have heard of overclocking but have no clue as to set it up and at what frequency...I would like to keep my hot-spot , perhaps increase the sound quality and have a 720 cap camera just to name a few.Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
I've got Cyanogenmod 6 on mine and I've loving it. Fast, stable, and looks great!
cool.now my question to you is where do i get a safe link to download and what are the steps to do so..thanks for your feed back
Go to Development section and read. Each ROM has a thread containing instructions for installation.
I suggest Enomther's ROM.
hey!!!
I am so happy.I tried into recovery mode but I could not find the rom there.did not know if i had to rename it or....anyways ...i went into the rom manager that I had downloaded from there the whole thing was self explanatory.I did download the cyanogenmod 6 fist and then the kernel .wow this is amazing .I wish I had done that a long long time ago.My contribution to this great team is on the way ang in the near future!! thanks guys!!
Nice going! Where did u find universal androot?
so if i use this on my unrooted nexus one 2.2, i can get root access apps?
Im not interested in custom roms just want to uninstall apps like amazon and twitter and use apps like titanium backup.
Will i receive OTA updates? and you can un-root right?

Hello! First off thank you for taking sometime to help me out with a few questions about rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S. I've been itching to root it ever since I watched some lag fix videos in aw as to how much better the phone seems to perform,before I do go through with it I have a few questions hoping to be answered. Also last thing my device is up to date with Froyo 2.2.
First off I will be using this : (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) to root my device, will this work fine?
Second questions is if I root my device and a gingerbread comes out as an official update can I go about updating it normally through Kies?Same goes for google updates like the new market update. (I am not interested in changing the ROM at the moment)
-Will Kies still recognize the device normally as I use it for importing music and such.
Lastly which lagfix should I use? Voodoo?It seems that Voodoo is meant to work with the GT-I9000 or does it work with the captivate too? Or do I use the oneclicklagfix on the Market?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me and if there's any thing about the phone you need to know please do ask and Ill gladly provide you with extra information.
Thanks again!

Yes, their is also a galaxy one click root or use AIO toolbox.
It will be best to remove root be fore updating to 2.3, market update will work as normal. For kies it should work as normal, i don't know though i just mount my device.
Voodoo is better and safer but it only comes on custom kernels. Since you don't care for flashing roms. The only way you can get it is (if its still around) a stock kernel with voodoo lagfix. *Voodoo works on most all the galaxy s family including the captivate.
One click lag fix not as safe, plus the developer has stopped developing and supporting it.
Why post the same question twice? under 2 different profiles? its kind of a waste

Super one click is what I used to root my Rogers Captivate running 2.2. The other methods the second poster said will most likely work as well.
I am assuming the Kies update to 2.3 will not work with root enabled. The new market can be updated very easily, just find the apk somewhere on the forums and install it directly, it worked fine for me.
I am not really a fan of OCLF, it works for the first little while but seems to slow down after a while (or maybe it's all in my head?). There is a voodoo injected stock rogers kernel somewhere on the forum, I dunno where but I found it and then used Neldar's SGS Kernel flasher (available on the market) to backup my original kernel and flash the voodoo injected one. It worked great and I now have voodoo lag fix. I am looking at changing to speedmod at some point in the future.

I am also wondering this, it's kinda pointless...
Thank you to both replies,I posted the other question with an old account by accident and have no idea how to remove it!
Thanks again!
How can I root 2.3.3 JVH without flashing a kernel using ODIN.I don't want any custom kerner or ROM,just pure root.
Thanks

hey mate i also want this just got an sgs. i also want to fix the vodoo laggfix is that possible? i just want pure root also.
Try this app SuperOneClick Root
Read the post vand try it. It worked for me in froyo. It seems to have GB support now.
Good Luck
You can't. If you don't want a custom kernel you're out of luck. Making your own rooted kernel is easy enough, there are instructions on this forum.

are u refering to the vodoo lag fix?
No way
So seems no way to do that, We had things like Z4Root but I can't see if that is updated or used anymore. There should be a way, just simply to root nothing else.
Anybody any ray of hope still, as in first post, I am looking for pure root without flashing anything?

Z4Root doesn't work on 2.3.3 anymore, you should really try to root using SuperOneClick or flash a custom kernel.
But why do you not want to flash a kernel? In the end it only impoves the phone

I'll try super one click. Thanks.
Well it's simple, I am more or less happy with stock kernel so don't want to flash anything.If SuperOneClick fails then I know I have to flash a kernel.
If I go for a kernel, which one should be the best in your opinion?
please reply here if superoneclick worked for you! thanks
I've never heard that GB could be rooted without flashing a kernel. Just use i.e. cf-root which is stock added with root

No I'm talking about taking the stock kernel, ripping it apart, adding you're own su, reassembling it, then flashing it. Best way to do it because you know exactly what you're getting.

Which CF-ROOT?
Guys,
I am not comfortable with super one click, I am looking for CF-ROOT but could figure out which one to use,
This is what I am running at the moment:
2.3.3 XWJVH XEN,baseband:XXJVO.
Can anybody point me to correct CF-ROOT version to use, I found one to root JVH but it's for NEE version and I doubt if that's correct.
I appreciate any help.Thank you. Any body from Nederland, experienced with CF-ROOT, please share.
Only way to root 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 is with cf-root. Super one click and all others don't work.

To be clear, the only way to root 2.3.3/4+ is to use a custom kernel. CF-Root (specifically) isn't necessary. As I said you can make your own rooted kernel easily enough. I'd recommend doing it this way so that you can learn how to root future roms yourself, breaking the dependency on having someone else do it.
According to instructions given how to root yourself, you need to have Linux kernel installed. What with us who are using Windows OS?
For Linux: Ubuntu is piece of cake to install and Cygwin is solid on windows.
Anyways: I rooted using CF-Root, it worked good. No super one click or etc. CF-Root is actually a stock kernel with root installed and some good tweaks so no worries.

Install VirtualBox, grab Ubuntu 11.04 from http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/.
Or install ubuntu "in windows" using the ubuntu wubi installer which comes on the live CD.
Or use cygwin.
Tried superoneclick. Doesnt' seem to work. The program just freeze or not responding.
Why not flash cfroot or speedmod with autoreboot unticked(cfroot will install automatically root but delete boot sound,speedmod will leave it be but root have to be installed in the recovery menu).
So,for speedmod:flash it autoreboot unticked,pull off battery when done,boot in recovery,install busybox and su in recovery,reboot into download and flash your stock kernel.(perka file stash site have a nice collection of stock kernels).
hi guys,
ive recently bought a samsung galaxy s gt i9000 off ebay. im chuffed to bits with it, i had upgraded from my first android ( tmobile pulse) which was abysmally slow
Since having my sgs ive installed kies and updated the firmware twice, i am now on 2.3.5.
The phone seems much much faster than my pulse so i am very happy, and for this reason im wondering what are the benefits to me of rooting it and installing a custom rom? ive looked through some threads and theres alot of roms to choose from, and they confuse me with talks of pits etc.
i had rooted my pulse with custom roms flashed using clockwork mod, but this seems far more complicated. The phone seems fast enough for what i need it for, is there any point in rooting+flashing a custom rom?
edit: also as far as i can tell most of the custom roms use android 2.3.3/2.3.4? so wouldnt that be a step backwards?
thanks in advance!
Most roms uses JVT the newest gb. If you are satisfied with no root there's no need to root but if you want to do more with your phone go with root.

Rooting is essentially the equivalent of getting admin rights on your phone. Some apps may need root access (such as titanium backup), as they modify system files and so on.
Custom roms vary, they might simply be a package of tweaks/optimizations and themes, or a complete rework of the firmware (like CM).
If you're happy with everything there's no real need to do either
Hi, I use the half way method, I stick with stock odexed jvt as stock is the most reliable. I then use a custom kernel for speed. I use semaphore 1.8.2bm. i use themes to make it look better, and tweaks to make it run faster. I find this to be the best compromise. You need root to create a full backup, and apply many tweaks. You get root from custom kernels
