Question: Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Sorry if this is not posted in the right section, i am unable to post in the correct section due to me being a new registered member, so i thought i'd ask here and maybe some of you can help and share some of you're knowledge.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, I followed a guide posted on the XDA developers website (here is the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546
I ignored the INSTALLING JW4 section as i was already updated to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 XXJW4.
I then followed the Installing Root section with success.
I then installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 on the install custom ROM section, but further down the section i was also told to install gapps....Could someone tell me what gapps is ? and what gapps does ?
Everything else went well and i am now running Cyanogenmod 9.0 on my Galaxy S.
I was wondering, i hear alot about jelly bean, ice cream, cyanogenmod, what are the differences ? or are these the same thing ?
now i have cyanogenmod installed on my phone, and i want to update to say Jelly Bean 4.2 how do i go about doing this ? do i need to follow the guide and root again or ?
also can someone explain flashing to me ?
Thanks in advance.

First of all...what is GAPPS?
Gapps is short for google apps...its has gmail, maps, play store, maybe youtube or an update to the camera app (not sure) but you get the idea...you don't have to install gapps but it's recommended...here is a link to gapps: GAPPS. Third link is what you should download...the one that says CyanogenMod 9.x.x
Second, Ice cream sandwich(ICS), Jelly Bean(JB):
These are android OS versions, you are now using cyanogenMod 9....this is using Android ICS(ice cream sandwich) this is android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.
Here is a full list of Android OS versions.
Now you get the idea...
Third...what is CyanogenMod?
Simply put, CyanogenMod is a group of people who take the stock android OS and make some customizations, editing, tweaking, and theming...like others...but CyanogenMod(CM) are so great, that most other ROMs depend on CM (You'll see in the ROM page something like "Based on CM" or "Based on cyanogenMod 9").
Extra:
What is ClockWorkMod recovery? (CWM):
CWM is the most popular custom recovery that gives you more options than that of the stock recovery...most of the time, when you root your phone you flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP(Team Win Recovery Project) which give you the ability to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIP files...
This is a great guide and will help you greatly...
Have a nice day

You should root it first described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Then I would flash PhilZ-cwm6 Safe Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Then you can pick your favorite ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
There are installation tutorials inside (almost always)

Since our phone is old there is no official support for CM, therfore later versions do not exist officially. Under dev section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1028 in Inc s there is some CM 9 and CM 10 roms which is made by ours devs. You can see their respective threads what bugs they have and so on. A dev has managed to run latest kernel on CM 9. He is working on CM10 (there is a thread Cyan Vivo X) however still not released so if you wait maybe a week or two I bet he will be done with what he is doing and realease somewhat bugfree rom.
So I tried it. There are few problems but it looks fine.

Hi
need help, I am new with that kind of stuff and don't know the exact version and files that I have to download to root my (Galaxy S I9000 Firmware 2.2 based version I9000JXJPD Kernel version 2.6.32.9 build number FROYO.JPJPF) to the latest Android Jelly beans version. I need a very basic ROM and a method that does not depend on PC -if it possible.
there so many threads talking similar to that issue causing confusing, some said that i have to upgrade to Icecream sandwich before upgrading to jelly beans or my phone will be dead. thats why i am asking help for the easiest and safer way to make this upgrade.
do I need to upgrade the Kernel as well? and how can I do that. and how can I preserve (backup) my excessing ROM?
Thank you.

Q&A about proper path from stock to CM 10.1

Hi everyone.
About Phone
=========
Model: GT-S5830T
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: S5830TDCKP5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL583204 [email protected] #1
I've got a Galaxy Ace running whatever Samsung put on it when they sold it, updated when possible. I'd like to install CM 10.1.
Just got finished reading both of these guides.
First, the sticky on rooting / flashing the galaxy ace here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
Then, the guide for installing CM 10.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438
Everything makes sense and I'm ready to get started, but then I saw this sentence in the rooting / flashing guide:
If you want to upgrade to newer version then Gingerbread I suggest you to make full procedure, not only flash recovery.

Does that mean that this is not the guide to follow first? If not, can you point me to a better tutorial?
Thanks for your time.

Root and install CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed that's all that you need (do a backup just in case) and then flash CM rom
I flashed CM when I was in android 2.3.5. and no prob in fact I'm still using 2.3.5. XDDDD AFAIK you don't need any Samy rom to flash CM but several devs advice you to update your android version
I think T = as Gt-s5830 and yes it's the same according Callmeventus thread

Follow this tutorial here before installing cm
You have to install twrp recovery from maclaw
And we don't need to update anything for installing a rom and say hi for rooting
I just give you a hint of what you need, there are lots of guides on this forum just search for them and read carefully
First of all you must know that installing custom ROMs is potentially dangerous, it may brick your phone and it voids your warranty, you do it at your own risk.
Make sure your phone is supported by the software you're going to install, S3 mini aren't all equal, check for model number.
Before installing CM 11 you should install a custom recovery (TWRP from maclaw.pl is recommended for installing kitkat), than you can do a nandroid backup and restore it if something goes wrong, and install custom ROMs very easily.
To flash the custom recovery you need odin in windows (you can find it on maclaw.pl download page) or heimdall in linux. About odin there are lots of tutorials, just search for them, but if you need help with heimdall just ask for it
Maclaw has great instructions too on their download page - be sure to download their ODIN version to flash with Odin.
If you google "how to flash custom rom with odin" you can get detailed instructions with pictures, I found this made me a bit more confident with what the hell I was doing
CM11 was great but I found Carbon with CPU management options gave me better battery life :good:

You have to update via TWRP, because CM11 doesn´t official for us.

Yes CM11 is unofficial, however you can install any maclaw ROM using the most recent CWM firmware.
