hey all member i dont know if there already exists this thread, but what do you think is the best firmware for the galaxy s ?
(ps:sry im new to anroid ^^)
Flash the latest firmware 2.2 - JP6
If I were you, I would directly flash a ROM with integrated lagfix.
There is DocRambone with his ROM,
there is Tayutama,
there are several other ROMs.
Or you try mine, so you don't have to apply different steps to get a fast Galaxy S
thx @ darkyy
yeah the most important thing for me is [....] speed ^^
my sgs is sooo [....] slow xD
is there a difference between
tayutama , docrambone, and yours?
MOD EDIT: Offensive language removed
vanilla rom is nice
Shouldn't this be in Q&A?

Jpm/jp6 firmware.
Then it up to you and your skills.
I would start with z4mod on stock firmware and convert filsystem to ext2 with z4mod.
In the process you learn to flash.and what things are.
You phone will be fast and lagfree.
Then you can look for other kernel that's out here if there things you like.
You can also do what other say here and flash a Rom.
But you will not have the same control over the system.
If you want to change Rom you also need to start all over and install all apps again.
You don't need that with z4mod.
But z4mod and many roms are very good and solve the lag for you.
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
i didnt find a "good rom" either this time so using "stock android lock screen file" and "battery mod version d" and "universal lag fix kernel" (BLN on, ext4 or jfs, some tweaks on)
also using fancy widget and a blackground and launcher pro plus
i'm quite happy with it at the moment - i deleted some samsung apk from /system to make space too, else u can't make the mods
Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes
Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??
Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer
Hi all.
I'd like to know what should I wipe to safely change from one kernel to the other.
Just flashing kernels, nothing else.
For example if I go from a CF kernel to a stock one.
In that case, will it be possible to wipe from a recovery menu even if I don't have access to CWM anymore?
Thanks a lot.
Kernel script cleaner is good when you changing kernels.
Seems to be for CM7, isn't it?
I don't mean to constantly change kernels so I don't mind wiping through recovery if necessary instead of using some extra app as long as this is the recommended procedure...
Look for lippol94 ultimate kernel cleaning script in the dev section...
There are 2 versions one for CM7 and the other for samsung rom's...
It will be best for changing kernel's

I both use and recommend this as well.
if all you are doing is going from CF kernel to stock a clean is not necessary as the CF kernel is mostly stock but with root added. A more comprehensive clean is only needed if moving back from a more heavily customized kernel or from one custom kernel to another.
A system cleanse also is recommended when moving from a custom rom to another and especially if moving back from a deodexed custom rom to an odexed one and after changing themes.
hi there
i have a couple of questions about kernal modules
is it possible to use other kernal modules from different devices on a gnote ?
e.x if i use Samsung Epic 4G's kernal modules, will it work on my Galaxy nte?
if i change the kernal of a rom, will it still work on my Gnote or any different device?
e.x if i change the ics stunner kernal by copying the abyssnote's in stunner pacakge, will it work on my Gnote? or is it omg no way this is binary language and development part?
[dev-part]
I want to understand how the android gigerbread and ics os hardware and software works logically and physically .,.,but how ?
e.x the drivers the boot files the ui everything .,.,what source that you suggest me ?
is it possible to take drivers or system files from linux and re write it then you use it at my gnote ?
thanks to everyone in xda ,,.btw you inspired me big time ^_^
I need a Froyo based custom ROM for my galaxy mini.
I am facing some wifi issues with the gingerbread roms like cm7,emanon and also ics based ones.
I need a Custom ROM based on froyo. Also my galaxy mini, when running stock froyo ROM(ddka7) lags frequently.
To be able to use wifi at my home i need froyo roms.
Can you guys please suggest any Froyo based custom ROM for sgm. Also do the stock Froyo Roms of sgm support init.d ?
Please Reply ASAP. Thanks in advance.
Really ? If you need to flash Custom ROM you need ClockWorldMod Recovery (CWMR), and CWM need Gingerbread to work !
So answer is = NO
we have cwm for froyo but no custom rom. so bad luck
init.d?

And what about init.d? Do the stock Froyo firmwares of SGM support init.d scripts like AdrenalnEngine/slaidyboost? Thanks for earlier advice.

N O, maybe?
those script will work if you got success in enabling init.d
to enable init.d try the below command
Code:
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
