Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)

Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091

This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.

thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

[Q] how can i install GB on LGOB? plz help

Hi everyone, i'm currently using Nova v7 (yes V7, i was too lazy to upgrade from 7 to 8, cuz i had alot of apps installed... wtv )
My question is, how can i go from Nova v7, to GB ? without brick my OB.
i would appreciate if u could tell me in detail cuz im still a newbie on this things, like if i need erecovery, CWM or any of that.
appreciate the time spent,
best regards
ruibullseye

If you're not from Korea theb GB isn't out yet, except CM7. You need to wait a few days for the official to come out.
And if you want CM (nightly), then flash it from CMW doing a full data, cache, dalvik wipe before flashing (maybe after too).

Connect your phone to the PC, install the LG Phone software that came with the phone, and use the software update feature. Simple as that. Please note however that GB *is not released yet* so don't ask when it will be released as nobody knows anything else other than "soon".

You can use KDZ method or LG Software Updater (B2CApp)

Remember to make full wipe before flashing or you'll get a bootloop.

im sorry for being so annoying,
but can u guys take some time and explain me in detail, step by step what i must do when android 2.3 is release for my LG OB?
im really new at this things and dont wanna brick my dear fone *.*.
once more, appreciate all the time spent helping me out
u guys are the best
best regards,
ruibullseye

Hey ruibullseye, better then asking here is if you use the search and some of your time to learn stuff. Almost all the usual OB fw upgrade/change questions are already answered in this subforum. Same for most problems you might get into. I started using android phone about a month ago. Following the forum around i can say it only took me about 5-6 hours to get familiar with the basic hacks for this phone. And also unbricking procedures and emergecy stuff, which i needed...twice. you cannot avoid it, it will happen to you at least once...
The truth is out there. Use search. ;-) if any issues, ask. But be sure to read the rules before posting.
Cheers.

Ok,since noone simplyy answers the question, i will. Even though u are right that learning by doing is still the best way... but why brick the phone? To find a way to unbrick and recover everything?
Well first i suggest u backup everything with titanium backup(can get it in store) then i first bootet into recovery, then did a full, davlic and battstats wipe, returned to menu, chose backup and restore and simply restored froyo. Then reboot and everything is fine and u can keep checking for updates. This is the procedure i chose, which surely is not the best and fastest, but the savest for me. Hope u understand my english and also have success ;-)
And sorry, because I didnt see some of the advices you gave to him, or I just found em to superficial, so I posted a guid, which as I think can even be understood by a complete NOOB

there is no such thing.
And why don't you try it for yourself? you will get to experience it first hand. And if your scared then don't use odin or cwm or even rooting because there are always risks involved in these.

The SGSII v8.1 patch u r talking about is jst a patch for the COmplete v8 ROM. it has recently been updated to v9 and it really is a gud ROM the Battery life is also better in the LAtest Release and it is almost stock based so u won't find A WHOLE LOT of UI changes on your ACe jst additions, and the PErformance is also gud.
other than this, you can try the MIracle ROM it is also a wonderful ROM bt as it is performance based, u can't expect a battery life of 1 day
As you roam around the forums you will learn slowly by trying and testing stuff.
Ohh and ACTUALLY, there is NO perfect ROM
