Just bought galaxy S

Hello,
I just bought a galaxy S from a friend. At the moment, the phone is running stock gingerbread.
1. Which rom and kernel would suite me? I do heavy texting and internet use. And normal gaming.I prefer customization and beauty and trying new lock screens. Which rom would be suitable for me?
2. Where can I find a guide/tutorial for installing custom rom and kernel??
3. When changing roms, if I back up my apps with titanium pro and restore on the new rom, they will work fine?
4. What are voodoo fix and lag fix?? DO I need to install them separately? And how do I install them?
Thanx alot.

i think u should try MIUI ROM IT HAS ALMOST 100S OF LOCKSCREEN THEMES.....FOR FLASHING ROM TUTORIAL GO TO Samsung galaxy s development forum there u will find everything....
press the thanks button if my reply helped u/....

[Q] Dark Knight V4

V4 was released today and I have the following questions:
1) Download link not working
2) Does the modem have better wifi reception
3) Are there any included launchers
Thanks

1) http://www.mediafire.com/?3d6da7j5i306v7u - That link works.
2) Test different modems and see which you get the best with, at the minute my best is JVU.
3) Probably not, check? Also you can get more from the market / on here.

2. All Dark Knight Roms got no Modem pre installed. If you got a modem, u will keep it after flashing from ur earlier installations.
3. Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher from market.
Dark Knight rom got an pre installed Nova Launcher and this one runs very smooth (except the sporadic rom bugs )

TV
someone can say if digital tv is working in dark knight 4?

In this case how can I flash KB3 and where can I find it?
Also would you suggest formatting to ext4 and how should I do it so that I don't lose anything?

Hey guys, i flashed V4 and now my phone is stuck at the bootanimation (i had it booting for 20 min). I did a full wipe, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and even tried to reflash. Any suggestions?
edit: i got it working after 3rd reflash

I didnot like it.....

My suggestion: wait for an update
I have tried switching from V3 to V4 yesterday. I encountered problems with Titanium and GPlay kept FCing so I returned to my backup of the stable V3.
V4 was rushed out so I´m waiting for the next update.

Did you directly flash the ROM ? In that case you may face FCs often.
Better take a nandroid backup.
wipe cache and data
flash the rom
Rebot and let the phone start
Go to recovery and then from backuo and restore -> advanced restore -> select the backup you did -> restore data
I moved from Elite V7.1 to Dark Knight 4 and dint face any such issues.

in my case titanium crashed while restoring and couldn't complete the process.I think I'll stay on gb rom all the way till a gb-stable-and-smooth- like ics rom comes out.

I think it includes the devil kernel because I when i flashed V3 over stock ROM it changed to Devil Kernel

Stability
I can confirm that Dark Knight v.3 is much more stable than v.4.
Upgrading to v.4 I found these bugs:
1) After the first reboot I activated the wi-fi toogle and it started to switch on and off repeatedly. The system error that appears every time forces you to reboot the device.
2) Many users reported problems with titanium backup (I didn't try it)
3) Trying to move an application to USB (SD) causes a hotboot ( !!!! )
4) The new "Dark Knight" application crashes if you try (f.ex.) to install a new theme or a new battery icon ... after this crash you can no more change the battery icon from the ROM control menu.
I upgraded from Dark Knight 3, wiping everything before flashing as recommended. I made a second try upgrading from the original gingerbread 2.3.3 by Samsung (and wiping everything of course). The result was the same in both cases.

Stable DK4
If someone has flashed a stable DK V4 pls post the procedure that you have performed

Thought of going after this rom. But its better to wait for some better version in future with lesser bugs

Well I would recommend you the Asylum ICS rom in CM9 base or if u want the AOKP go ahead with my rom Half-Illusion
Both are light and fast
Also can try the Paranoid Android rom if you want custom app dpi.
Above all roms are AOSP and doesn't include any samsung features!
Kernel comes with the custom rom. U can flash newer versions of kernel from the kernel repository link in my siggi.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE

Depends what features you are looking for,
If you're just looking for something smooth and stable and close to Stock (With Samsung Apps etc) then check out the ICS ROM CleaNote which comes bundled with the Dev's own kernel.
If you're not bothered about the Spen apps etc then I'd say give Paranoid Android a go..
It's personal preference really, Just have a read through the threads in the Dev section, Most of them have screenshots or a video showing features and installation method..
But, as You're on Stock ICS at the moment, be careful and DO NOT Wipe / Factory Reset on a STOCK ICS Kernel.
Cheers

Speed and stability
Speed and stability depend both on rom as well as kernel.. most of the sammy based custom roms use notecore these days which is also my personal favorite:good:

[Q] Need help, noob friendly

Hello.
I got a dutch Galaxy Note, with 3.0.15 Speedmodkernel, CWM. android version 4.0.3 build nr im74k. Xxlpy
Now my question is, how do i flash a custom rom, and what rom do you guys recommend? I heard jellybean is a nice rom? I really want to get the best experience out of my Galaxy Note.
Sorry if im not being very clear, i quite new to this..

For flash rom you can use guide from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801686 but I suggest you still stay in custom ICS rom because JB rom still not stable yet. If you really want to try JB rom i suggest you using BlackCNA because SMemo app still working but before flash read the issues they posted and decide weather want to use it or not. For ICS i suggest using "Crash ROM" which is the rom I using now pretty cool and stable. One more thing, I suggest you using hydracore kernel before flash rom it suitable for all types rom and safe for full wipes on all types rom .
BlackCNA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883877
Crash Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723757
Hydracore - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28245219

backup efs first and save across different locations, then do readings above

[Q] Galaxy note, Questions

I'm sorry if anyone has post this already, but I'm a new owner of a Galaxy Note, but the user that sold it to me, let it with alliance rom, but however, it drains too much batery and its full of things that I really dont need, like 1000 lockscreens and the most features I dont use, Also it wasnt with CWM but with TW (I think that it is what its called) and now, I am scared to turn this phone into a brick (He is like a brick but I dont want to actualy brick him )
So my questions are:
-Can I install any rom right now? Using the steps that are mentioned on the threads?
- What rom do you advise me to, I dont want too many things, I want as stock as possible, without the botlware, and with the main features of the note 2 if it is possible
Thanks by the help

Flash whichever ROM you choose.
If your on alliance kernel it should be a safe kernel.
Wipe system data cache dalvik preload androidsexure first then flash the zip of whatever rom
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
Read about brickbug on stock ICS ROMs first...
If you're on alliance JB (not ICS) the kernel is safe. If you want to be extra safe you can flash philz first.
If you are totally clueless use mobile Odin from play store.

My alliance rom is the last one and my kernel is this 3.0.31-593490 and i'm on android version 4.1.2 is it safe? do you think that ultimate rom would be better than alliance?

Ultimate is kind of same thing...lots of customizations...
I personally use eybee's stock decodexed and apply his mods...then use titanium backup pro to remove bloat ware I don't want...
An option too is to add xpericle tablet mod ...
Your kernel should be safe to wipe from so long as when you boot to recovery it is twrp

Humm, i really dont want to go so far, like installing a lot of things, I just want a simple thing that works good, and has good batery life, then I'll use titanium too to remove things that I dont want, do you know any rom like that? I think I need to change the kernel before flashing that one that you said to me isnt it?

I would flash philz first personally...but that is preference...
Really you should just read all the ROM threads and choose the one you like best... it is personal preference...there aren't that many..
Just stick with a tw LSZ ROM if you want a Samsung based interfacw

And how can I flash philz? And what tw LSZ ROMS are you talking? I really dont understand those meanings and sorry if being annoying, but I really just dont want to ruin this phone

To flash philz you download the LSZ philz from the kernel thread.
You then reboot the phone and hold volume-up-power until it boots into recovery.
Hit install zip. Go to internal SD and then download folder and flash philz.
Now download the ROM and follow install instructions
TW ROMs are based on samsung stock interface. AOSP/AOKP/CM10.1 roms are based on a more pure Google android experience.
TW ROMs have many more features including the note2 features you want. Pure android based ROMs are faster but have less features.
Once you have philz installed you should follow the instructions in the Original post of that ROM thread
LSZ refers to the most recent Samsung official jelly bean release.
Ia glad to answer any question. PLEASE ASK THEM NO QUESTION THAT WILL STOP YOU FROM KILLING YOUR PHONE IS STUPID.
Before doing anything be sure to read the brick bug sticky thread so you understand how you can brick your phone.
Please hit thanks if I helped you.

And can I flash philz and still remain with the same rom or as I flash the philz I need to put a diferent rom? In the first time I just want to change my rom, so that its more easy to me, with the things that I have, the kernel and based on the rom that I have, what rom should I put in here now? I'll thank you if I get to know where is the button to hit

It's just the kernel you are flashing. It will not change the rom.
Phone will still boot and you can install a rom later after finalising one.

PhilZ TouchWiz based JB and ICS kernels
PhilZ-cwm6 Safe Stock Kernels
(developed by Phil3759)
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1901191
All PhilZ-cwm6 kernels can be found in this post.
Mirror download links are located in this post.
Latest: all kernels upgraded to v3.99 *new*
Is it this?
By the way, if I dont want to change the kernel ( I'm afraid that it can go wrong) What should be the rom that I put in my phone with this kernel that I'm using ?

When you flash a new ROM it flashes a new kernel.
Yes flash the LSz philz

There are a lot of them.. And all of them talk about CWM, but I dont have it, wont it affect it?
<< 13.03.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.88.2 with CWM 6.0.2.9 based recovery >>
XXLSZ-OXA (fixed for bootloop)
Is it this one that I need to flash?

assuming you are still on alliance.. yes thats the one

if you want a rom with good battery life and almost no bloatware at all, i would suggest using chasmodo's rom. but as mentioned above, choosing a rom depends on personal preferences.
