Galaxy S Newbie

Hi I am new to the Galaxy S, just moved over from Sony X10
I have looked around and can't seem to find a guide or instructions on flashing roms and kernels ?
Could someone also recommend a Gingerbread Rom and Kernel mix to flash ?
Thanks in advance

PM me if any help needed!

A few of the links didnt work my friend ?

Just take your time and go through every bit of the threads i can make sure that you will find the best ROM !!
I would say that get Darky's v10.3 EE (ime) and the link is below!
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/rom-cwm-sgs-cappy-darkyrom-xxjvr-10-3.4508/
it is the best rom you can get without OC but if you want to get OC, then there are 2 options but the latter one is preferable when it comes to OC !!
1)Get Semaphore kernel v1.6.x or Galaxian GT version and use Voltage control
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829731) or setcpu or pimpmycpu in Darky's ROM !
2)Get CM7+Glitch Kernel v12 BETA (OC'ing upto 1.7 incl. GPU ) follow the link.

and one more thing checkout this page for kernel flashing !!

i think these would be enough to get maximum out your phone!

Where can I get odin from ?
Is there a guide to using odin and rooting anywhere ?

Odin is simple and follow this link for 2.2 Froyo
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/
and same way it is for Ginger bread!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155623
in the above link check the 2.3.4 Odin3 method not the ROM!
just use it for only switchig through ROM's and Android versions but for Kernel flashing get Neldar's SGS flashing tool app from market.
If you are on Jetpack or Darky you can get a custom rom tool from their ROM DEV page or market!
and learn Gooogling the problems out!!

[Q] Need help on whitch new kernel to use? Plz

Hey all
Could someone please guide me in which kernel/rom to flash for gaining more overclocking speed..!?
I currently have Dario's JVQ MOD 1.2.1+update 1.2.2 installed with OC running 1200mhz current kernel is cf-root 3.7 - CWM tels me !!
All is running smootly and very fine, but i would like to OC some more 1.6 or so!
but i am new in this so not sure which kernel/rom version to use for further OC?
I have CWM backup and understand how to use the tools we have avalible.
My phone is a I9000 europe model JVQ
Regards all

hay mate i think 1200 is more enough for i9000....because 1.6 make more battery consumption and i also tried but now happen.....i think u should try semaphore 1.5.0 its also a OC and u can get to 1200 or Galaxian Gt....these are best kernel i found now days.....if u wish to more then u can download the old version of Talon dev kernel...i OC my phone with Talon Dev not remember the version but u can got 1400.

List of kernels

Im using a gingerbread v20e rom right now and on stock kernel my boot time is about 1 min max, iv recently installed neoblaze and my boot time is over 4 mins.
Can someone give me a list of kernels that will work with my rom so i can find the best one? the search function is pretty useless because without knowing the name of the kernel ill never find it.
Rom: [[ROM] New Rom 2.3.4 GB v20E (24-08-11)

Taken directly from the {Start here} Thread in the dev section. Not sure which of them that will work on v20e. But surely some of them wouldn't mind that you test and maybe report back your experience in each thread.
Cant really think about any other kernels right now ether for that matter.

hmm so just neoblaze and swiftextreme, neoblaze seems to take forever too boot when i have that on my phone but swiftextreme is OC to 1.2ghz on boot...dont like that. Not much to pick from.
Edit that's a rom not the kernel...its impossible to find anything in this forum wheres the thread for the swiftextreme kernel only.

Hmm he have 4 stand alone kernel links but only seems to be oc kernels 2 are 1,2Ghz and the other 2 are 1,4Ghz.
They are at the bottom of each rom ver. Right bellow the rom download link.

Yeah noticed soon after posting they didn't work had to restore a backup.
Seems only neoblaze works with this rom but it causes some unwanted loooooong startups so looks likebill have to stick with the stock kernel till i get a response on that issue.

[Q] How to Flash a Dark Core Kernel without a ROM

Hello,
I am looking to flash a new kernel to my SGS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently running (Flashed it with Odin3 v1.82) -
[ROM] 2.3.4. Samsung ROM I9000XXJVR
[Kernel] CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVR-v4.1-CWM3RFS
[Kernel] In the phone it is called = 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVR-CL425308 [email protected] #2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was able to flash it with the helpful instructions from you guys on XDA so thanks but now I'm stuck!
I will flash ICS ROM later.
Just now I want a new Kernel to make my phone faster (no lags) and to take advantage of the Voodoo sound.
So I was looking at the Dark Core Kernel (as top rated by the stickied kernel page).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I want to clarify -
1) If I am looking for any new Kernels all I need to do is find one which matches the JVR-2.3.4 ? Like this one in the link
[[[ Apparently not allowed to post links but it is on the sourcefourge website and the file I want to flash is mentioned below ]]]
2) I just have to use Odin again to flash the "DarkCore_3.1_JVR.tar" file to the PDA section of the phone?
3) And that's it? Do I need to wipe Dalvik and all that stuff?
4) Do I need Pit files?
Thanks in advance for the help!

My good sir, from my experience, you seem to have it right. Why, may I ask would you use dark core? For the OC/UV? I'm currently running Continuum v6.1 which comes with Talon Kernel and I'm looking for a good OC/UV kernel.

RCmix Kernel v12

Anybody who has got the new "RCmix Kernel v12" to be flashed?
Or a good alternativ?
-------------
Ups... wrong thread...

it is not for incs..it's for dhd

It's just because i have seen IncS Rom's with that Kernel.

Here is the link to RCMIX kernel v12:

Is that really for the IncS?
EDIT: Don't try the previous kernel at home, you'll get stucked at HTC logo.
