Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42074948&postcount=2091 .. its for Jellybean 4.2 (Jellyshot) but if you nandroid first , you should be ok..
ACtually just switch to Jelly shot , It's better than stock 4.1.1 (I think)..
Thanks for replying mate... in what ways do you think jelly shot is better than stock? Ill need the pros and cons before I switch from the already very stable stock towards another rom... thanks

Actually I would want to stick onto stock because of it's reliability and stability... isn't there a legit way for porting inverted versions of messaging and contacts and the calendar?
Sent from my Nexus S using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Hi, you could flash a rom that has themes enabled in it, and install a black theme from PlayStore, such as black exodus .
I would recommend CyanogenMod 10.1 ReleaseCandidate, they are really stable, and offer far better experience than stock android.
About pros and cons, do a nandroid of your stock android and try CM10.1 If you do this dont forget to flash latest JB Gapps

The reason you are having problems is because you are on stock with odex apks. Stock ROMs applications have odex files which is supposed to allow for faster booting of applications. Custom ROMs have deodexed apps which allows for customization and theming. If you want the inverted apps you will need to flash a custom deodexed rom. I have been running the latest CM-RC5 with inverted gapps with absolutely no stability issues.
If you want to theme and customize apps, simply make a nandroid backup of your stock rom and start flashing ROMS available for your phone. The possibilities for customization are just not there for stock rooted phones.
Good luck:good:

IMHO,
The custom Rom that nearly to stock is Rasbeanjelly, the most smooth and stable I thought. And that Rom also already has the black contact, mms and calendar.

I installed the HTC_vs_GALAXY_S - SENSE THEME - Beta 0.2 theme @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769274&page=3 and I tried to revert back to the original touchwiz home using their revert method, and I couldn't. I forgot to do a backup using nandroid, or something like that, and any help would be greatly appreciated. No Offence to the developer, of course, he did a great job but the theme doesn't really fit me and i really want to go back. I was unrooted at the time of install and recently rooted my device with the theme on. I tried to exactly use the way they tell me and it didn't work. II have a GT-I9000running the official JM1 firmware that came from kies. Please Help, thank you
anybody, please?
I also wondered this which is why I only use custom docks and icons in launcher pro. I'm guessing you have to do a fresh flash using odin, sorry buddy.

Hii,
this is my first post, but with some exp. In android development.
So whenever I flash cm10 based roms(slim bean, helly bean). The most important problem I face in these ROMs is that whenever I'm using apps like dolphin, web, or any other (games...) my phone turns off and then I try to turn it on (turns on with the charger mostly), the battery drops to 0%.
This doesn't happen to me on stock rom, but I don't want to flash stock ROM. IDK what is the problem. If anybody faced this or anybody who knows about this issue is most welcomed to answer.
BTW I love the look and the speed of Slim Bean or Helly Bean...
But facing this problem in both of them.
The phone is brand new, also with my old captivate used to have this problem with these ROMs.
Right now I've Slim Bean.
Help plz!!
Thanks.
Are you using any type of backup to to add all your apps messages contacts etc. back? Same thing happened to me going back and forth from salty bean and paranoid droid. I was able to fix it by reinstalling everything from the market onto my paranoid droid and creating a back up of each ROM
Captivate /Salty Bean 4.1.2
No, I am not backing up apps.
I just restore contacts from gmail.
Nothing else.
So I read up on the comparison of jelly bean to ice cream sandwich and it seems that jelly bean is the better option to chose from. I already have ice cream sandwich on my phone but i want to upgrade to jelly bean. So far when i boot my phone a goole animation boots up (it jus says google in white letters) then it goes to the ics animation. I guess that means i dont have a mod installed because before i had cyanogen mod and that would pop up instead of google. So i just need clear detailed instructions to flash the latest cyanogen mod and JB to my captivate. Any help??

It's quite simple actually if you're already on ICS, get the ROM you wish you flash (4.1 if you want stable), put it in your SD card, factory reset, clear cache/dalvik and flash it.
Some of them have more specific instructions but you will find them in the ROM's OP. Either way, it should be quite easy!
ok i see but the thing is i havnt done this in awhile so im a lil foggy on this do you have the links for them? if you do it will be much appreciated!!

Nop, simply mount your phone to your PC and transfer the zip on your SD card (internal). Or could dl it directly from your phone.
It's a flashable zip, go in recovery and flash it as per their instructions. There's no need for Odin unless you need to go back to stock (KK4) or flash bootloaders, which you don't.
ok that was a very useful tip this whole time i been afraid to use odin cuz i bricked a phone once using it smh but i think i will use the second link you gave me (AOCP) it was saying something about loosing my camera if i wasnt on the gingerbread bootloaders though

Like i said, you should already have those since you're on ICS

Personally, I just d/l the ROM straight to my phone and cut out a step. Remember, if you are changing Roms, you will need to do a complete wipe cache/data/dalvik. You will need to backup your apps and any info you don't want to lose. Do NOT restore any data as ICS data will not play nice with a JB ROM. Make sure you have the current gapps to flash.

Hey guys and gals,
First off, I want to thank all the devs for their hard work on creating these roms and kernels for such a great phone. I rooted my phone a little less than a year ago following a guide by jocala, and using RebelRom. From my understanding, the phone is still rooted. I have done nothing to change that so I hope it remained rooted.
My question today is in regards to the Baked Black Bean 9 release. Does it follow the same installation as other roms? Such that download the rom, move it to the sdcard, boot into the recovery mode, wipe it all, flash the room then gapps? If so, that is fine, I will just have to reread on how to do all that to the T so the phone does not get bricked, lol. If it is different, can anyone please explain?
My current phone state is :
Model Number: SGH-T679
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-custom [email protected] #7
Build Number: RebelRom 3.0.7 Milestone 2.A
Also, is swype supported by this ROM ? I loved swype but couldn't seem to get it to work with RebelRom.
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Yes Baked is installed like the others. Nandroid your setup however in case you don't like how things turn out. Wipe everything, flash the ROM and then Gapps. Please keep in mind the latest Baked is funny on first boot. You have to let it sit for around 5 minutes or so. Press the power key once (screen will be black) and then it will reboot in a bit. Everything is easy breezy Japanesey after that.
On Swype I can't tell you, I use Swiftkey.
THANK YOU. Finally something new and it comes preinstalled with a swype or something of that sort. Now I need to figure out how block the used dial attacks said in the wiki. It seems I'm still on uvl1. Nonetheless this forum is fantastic and the people are tremendously helpful. Also I flashed black Bean first top give it a go.
Any other amazing apps to try out?

Well I hate to tell you this but the only way to get the latest baseband is to flash Peach or the latest stock ROM, then revert back to Baked. What I did was nandroid, flash Peach, then restore the nandroid. Do NOT sign in to Google when/if you flash Peach or stock. Otherwise you will lose sync with Google Play which is a mess to re-sync. Just reboot recovery immediately after install.
On apps, there's a lot of good ones but depends on what you're looking for. For basics go with Boat Browser mini for web browsing and Poweramp for music. Use Seeder for a little less lag (Google "entropy" to learn more). And yes, I would pay the $5 for Poweramp especially if you're a music lover. Very worth it. The Google music app is awful IMO. Also make sure you have Google Maps installed so Google Now works properly.
Hope that helps you get started.
Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
