[Q] What rom do you use? Help please read - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, i have to mod the galaxy s of one my friend, i personally never had that so i dont know anything about it, so if u can help me in some stuff, it will be useful!
-Whic rom/kernel do u personally use/raccomand? ( i hope im not breaking rules with this question im just asking what rom an user personally use, if im breaking, well sorry )
-there is some bootloader stuff for galaxy s?
-how to easy root and install cwm?
-I think his device still run gb, so if i update like to a jb rom its just wipe data cache dalvik and format system, correct? And if he got ics its the same process?

-Well, there is alot of plenty good roms/kernels, im currently using the Avatar rom and i must say, it's a very good rom, stable and fast, so give it a try =)
Link to the Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141589
-There is alot, google and you will find some.
-Here is a step by step guide on how to root: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/22/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-cf-kernel-method/
How to install CWM: http://theunlockr.com/2012/11/22/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000/
-Yes, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache and flash your new rom.
-Basicly what you have to do before flashing a custom rom is: Rooting of course, Installing CWM, Booting into CWM, Wipe, Flash new rom.
Good luck!

[Q]Can i flash darky v8.0 over darky v9.4?

i tried searching but couldnt find the exact thing.
i am not too good with the technical aspect of it but have flashed a few roms before(all darky)..
i was going to flash v8.0 using CWM but realised its no longer 2e but a dark voodoo recovery which i dont fully understand.
can i flash darky v8.0(no wipe) using this recovery or will that create a problem???
or is there a way to go back to recovery 2e?
i am sorry for starting an extra thread but i dont have enough posts to ask in his thread and am desperately looking for an answer coz the v9.4 is full of bugs and i dont even want to try v9.5..
waiting for your valued opinion..
thanks in advance..
PS:since im a noob please let your answer be elaborate and not too technical..
No idea you would need to ask Darky .
You can always flash back to stock using Odin wiping that rom .
jje
I think that 8.0 is JPY and 9.4 is JS5. You should install wipe rom to avoid any data corruption. Go to your recovery choose install zip>choose zip>select it and click yes. It should work
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
thank you so much for your valued suggestions..
i read somewhere that the recovery doesnt matter as long as you flash correctly,for eg i used to have a red lettered CWM &now its white,i read that a no wipe should work...
any way i wont take a chance i think..
also if i flash the no wipe,and data is corrupted it wil brick my phone or cause some running bugs??
sorry for the stupid question but just confirming for future sakes..
thank you once again both of you..
much appreciated..
No wipe will cause force closes
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
thank you so much for the quick reply,i think i,ll try the no wipe first and if it gives me prob will try the wipe..
thank you so much..
i really have a lot to learn..
EDIT: SORRY but i couldnt find a link for v8.0 in that thread,can someone give me a working link to v8.0(wipe)..
edit: got it thanks..

hey you can first flash back to a stock rom and after that you can download any kernel which supports cwm..after that you can download the cwm package n install,but i recommend you try darkys 9.5. it is aewsomely fast and also contains all major features of a fully functional stable rom..and all the problems of 9.4 are rectified!! hope you do well
cheers!

Thanks for the info but I already flashed v8.0 over darky v9.5 which is still buggy..
It records all my calls, everytime reject an incoming call it shows up as a missed call plus is isn't smooth for me..
Freezes and battery drain plus also the dialer stops working (speed dial doesn't respond)...
I'm happy with v8.0 and good luck to you on the 9.5 coz it isn't worth it for me..
Thanks again though..
Cheers..

[Q] From CleaNote to Crash Rom... or another one

Hi friends,
I'm a new GNote owner with CleaNote rom and Hydracore kernel installed.
I've heard that CleaNote will be discontinued and I'm seraching for a new Long Time Support (Yes I use Linux desktop computer ) rom.
I've selected Crash Rom, Criskelo and Rocket Rom. I don't know witch one to choose but I'm CF-Root oriented. Last thing, I'm not interested by GApps (various hubs and co) but I need Radio FM and I want to flash with CWM only (no Odin).
I've two questions :
- In your opinion, what of theese rom do have I to choose ? (or what else)
- I've seen in Crash install procedure that I have to flash Abyss kernel first. Is it a no-discuss option or can I do the install with a safe kernel like my Hydracore ?
Thank you for your help.
I like criskelo vry much.stock oriented and available wd cf foot.
See abyss kernel is for safe and thats help custom roms in flashing.

Abyss is for safe. That means than I can use any safe kernel ?
See dont use stock kernels on ics.and every custom dev kept its rom safe for flashing.
Hit thanks........NAMASTE

I know ICS stock kernel is a GNote killer . Yhat's why I've immediately flashed Hydracore.
Any other opinions about all these roms ?

Hydracore is safe to flash any rom so no need to use abyss kennel ( abyss for flashing new rom only ),just follow op instruction but ignore abyss thing.
Phil kennel is like cf root but triple safe and both battery friendly ( can find in original dev) , hydracore is more performance and tripple safe too.Your choice
Criskelo discontinuous support his rom. Every rom are good , try out and see which one is fit your taste.
Hi,
You're perfectly clear, as your explainations, Thank you.
I think that I'll test every one for a week each before deciding.
Last question. For install between these roms, do I need to to a reset factory (and say bye to my apps) or can I try a simple dalvik/cache wipe ?

Try first without factory reset and if you don't run into force closes---you're good !
If you do.....you have to factory reset.
But you can backup your apps using Titanium Backup and restore all non-system apps(i.e. user apps).I do this regularly...Saves me the trouble of reinstalling that crapload of games !:laugh:
I'll try... I'll try.
But anyway, I've no game on my note except a Klondike....:good:

Recommend full wipe on every rom , this will save you alot problem later and take about 30 min to do.. you can use tt back up your app or manually install 1 by 1 take little longer but this method really good.. Enjoy
Ok. Thank you. I'll be a cool and patient guy... and I'll make Titanium Backup hot.
But, for my curiosity, what do I risk with no wipe between : bootloop ? brick ? nuclear explosion ? anything else ?

[DualBoot][GT-I9100G][Greenblob][BETA] All AOSP Roms in dualboot - Update!

First of all thanks to chuandinh, I ported his method he uses for the galaxy note to dualboot. Related thread here. I made it working for our device ​
Important: If you´re not sure about something, ask and dont do it. Only apply this method when you´re a 100% sure.
I´m not responsible for things that happen to your device! It may be not safe. Everything is tested (so my device should be damaged first ^^) by myselfe but its your decission to actually use dualboot on your phone.
_________________
What you need: You need to understand the following lines and you need to have ~2gb free on your internal sd.
Rom requirements: Till now both roms have to be android 4.2.2!
Step 1: Download all files we need
Go to the download page at team-blockbuster and download all files on the page
Those are: dualboot_setup_06042013.zip, greenblob-1.1-lts.zip, boot_to_sd.zip and boot_to_phone.zip.
Step 2: Understanding how it works
- Setup the system you want to have as second rom (the one on sd). Flash anything you want to modifications etc. (apps etc. can be installed later). A wiped rom is always better
- Flash dualboot_setup_06042013.zip. It copys all kernel related files needed to your current rom and pushes your rom to sdcard. Default rom to boot is the phone rom, not the created sd rom seconds before. You´re SDRom is stored in sdcard/SDRom/rom1. greenblob-1.1-lts.zip and reboot
- Now flash your second rom. This is the phone rom. Remember to flash greenblob-1.1-lts.zip after it! You would not run greenblob 1.1 with dualboot otherwise
You´re per default always booting to your phone rom. If you want to boot sd rom you can (theoretically) press home button when the Galaxy S2G starts to pop up. Its not really working yet thats why you need the files boot_to_sd.zip and boot_to_phone.zip.
Boot into recovery and flash the file boot_to_sd.zip to boot to sd or boot_to_phone.zip to boot to phone
Step 3: If you understood everything execute the instructions
Thats it!
Ask twice if you havent understand something! I hope this guide is easy to understand. For me its sooo easy as I developed these way to boot But its hard to explain.
I will improve the method on dualboot from time to time to make it easier for you
You can suggest features below
Please submit as newsworthy when you think it is
Bugs:
Bugs? This is dualboot! There may be bugs. Our device is not made for dualboot
For all latest infos stay in touch with me on facebook

Did you mean this?
- You installed the sdcard rom then flashed gapps for phone rom? Then the gapps are only on your phone rom
Everything thats on your phone at the point where you flash Dualboot_setup4 everything from system gets packed into sd rom.
So if you want gapps in your sdrom you have to flash sd rom, flash gapps then flash Dualboot_setup4
Is it the answer to your question?
well done
you are always a hero of the G community , thanks Fuss
I have a request if anyone manage to duel boot to make a video or list the steps clearly for the noobs like me thanks

No boot_to_sd and boot_to_phone does not wipe any data.
It only changes one value that makes it booting to sd/phone
Thank you for this really =D I was dreaming of it last night, I'm trying it right now. By the way, if I want for exemple to update the rom on the sd card, will I have to override the rom on the internal memory to do it ?

[Q] Bootloop after flashing new roms

Hi guys,
First post here but have used this site multiple times as a non-member. Hoping you guys can fix my problem :laugh:
Right, so basically, I like to flash ALOT of roms onto my N7000 and for some reason or another, around 3 roms i have just flashed in the last couple of hours keeps making my phone get stuck in a bootloop and it is really starting to annoy me.
If anyone has a solution I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance, Rohan
Insufficient info. What rom were you on? What's the last rom you installed? What was the latest rom installed on(rom) ? Are you on a safe kernel? Did you wipe data?

I'm currently on ParaNoid Android (scared to reboot), the last rom I was on is Cynogenmod, the last rom I have installed were the two roms I just mentioned. I am on 3.0.15-CM-g0b7eacb [email protected] #1. And yes, I did wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache.
I have faced this issue while flashing SuperNexus on my note. check this thread if if helps : link to thread
I recommend a safe kernel like philz latest kernels and then i think you are good to go with any roms.
