[Q] Getting my phone in shape

Hello, I hope you guys will be able to guide me step by step in upgrading my phone's software!
I haven't updated my phone's ROM/firmware/kernel for over a year, and it started lagging + I'd like to have the new features of current custom ROM's, like the MIUI v4 for I9000 based on ICS. Now, I'm no noob when it comes to flashing/rooting/installing custom ROM's, firmware and/or kernels, but I haven't done it in over a year so I'm rusty.
The current software my i9000 is running is:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodo_stable_5.4.1
Build number: Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
Could someone please explain the shortest/simplest way of upgrading it so I can enjoy the new ROMs? Thank you!

It is not necessary to use root kernel to root, check my sig. for rooting guide by Dr.Ketan.
But if you want to be on safe kernel after root, then use either of the Notecore or Speedmod kernels. You can also use Hydracore universal kernel, it can be used with all kind of roms.
Hi ive just downloaded the GL_NOTECORE_v12_STD kernel and plan to flash it in pda section of odin on my pc. Will this be safe and work on my firmware?
Thanx

Yes it's safe. You can interchangeably use any kinds of ICS kernel as it does not have any bearing on what firmware you have as long as your on 4.0.4 ICS
Re flashing kernels :
You can use PC odin if you don't mind the yellow triangle custom flash logo on your boot up.
Can be removed via triangle away on Play Store.
Otherwise use mobile odin pro the device to flash the kernal.

Sure,
Semaphore kernel is excellent, he have excellent app that control any feature.
you can pick big mem that Increases ram.
semaphore
Well, that's where I am getting confused.
At the website of semaphore, There are 3 versions of kernels:
GT-I9000
GT-I9000 ICS
GT-I9000 JB
As far as I know, and that's not much (sorry!), I believe with my Android version (4.1.2), The right choice is the GT-I9000 ICS kernel.
When going for the GT-I9000 ICS option, I believe I see only really, really old versions, while current versions of this rom are in the range of 2.9.15:
Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0s.tar
So, confused, I believe to have the latest CyanogenMod, what Semaphore kernel version do I need to choose?
Again, your help is highly appreciated!

4.1.2 is jellybean, so you need JB kernel not an ICS one. So go to Semaphore JB and pick up latest kernel

[Q] Galaxy I9000 Froyo 2.2 to Jelly Bean the right way

Hi there
cousin of mine is unsure how to proceed from a rooted 2.2 Frojo to Jelly Bean, here are his questions:
Hello,
I need your help because I don´t know the next steps to flash
my Android.
I rooted my international Galaxy S I9000 with vodafone branding.
(I flashed the "CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1" kernel)
Then I installed the ROM Manager app to install CWM 2.5.
I have still e2 Recovery but I can load the zip in this mode
every time.
All data is already backed up and saved (IMEI/EFS Backup is done).
I used the Root Explorer for this step.
Now I´m not sure which steps are needed to install either
Gingerbread, ICS or Jelly Bean. Which roms/kernels are compatible?
My final version should be Cyanogenmod Mackay Jelly Bean.
Now I have Froyo 2.2
Does anyone have appropriate info or links that may help me
because the forum search didn´t serve the right infos for me.
PDA: I9000BUJP7
PHONE: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Firmware Version: 2.2

You can follow the update and root guide below..(Works for the Internation Version Only!! Model No: GT-I9000)
After succesfull booting flash the macky rom with the given instructions in his thread..
Done..

[NEED HELP] Looking for a guide to flash a GB ROM

Hi all!
A friend of mine has an Optimus 2X that she got from her university. She has to develop an unity app which works with 2.3 APIs so she needs a Ginger Bread ROM to use these APIs. Since she has a Nexus 4, she already has the newest JB version to test the app on newer devices. This is why she explicitly wants a Gingerbread ROM, and nothing newer. Could anyone give a guide on how to install a Gingerbread ROM and which of them is the best for this purpose?
Information about the current installed version:
Model number: LG-P990
Android version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110218
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-dirty
Build number: FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990-V10b
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!
Smirny
EDIT:
Since the phone belongs to the university, she cannot unlock the bootloader. Also, the software update within Android itself says that there is no new version available. Is it still possible for her to upgrade to a GB ROM, maybe even a stock one?
Search for Homero2 thread and download on phone SD card his nvflash 20S rom.
Download on PC the All In One Tool 5.6 in Dev section and follow the guide of the operation requested before nvflashing the 20S rom.
Edit: you can update to GB stock LG without unlocking the phone.
Link to LG 2x support site, download and install drivers, connect 2x to pc, start the LG Update on PC and follow the instructions.
