[Q] installing ROM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I want to install a new rom to my phone, but since I'm new I'm pretty confused about everything. First of all, I don't know which ROM to install, I know there are so many, so I picked this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
Next, I go to that site do download it, and I can't find my phone, only i9100. Is this also good or what? Do I need to install kernel also? I found this tutorial, should I follow it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=5
I rooted my phone and used a nandrian backup for my files, so I just need to install a ROM and/or kernel but It's pretty hard since there is no ultra-beginner guide

Hi!
Which ROM you should install or not is a question for yourself...
My first ROM i`ve installed was Cyanogenmod 9 ...because it is the best known and installed rom and everywhere i read about it ...
So i made only good experience with this mod ...but another person would tell you ,that he user/installed slim bean and that`s the best for him ...
I think you should try some ROMS and find out what is the best for you, which is the best to handle for you ...
In CM (Cyanogenmod) there is an stock kernel included ...but you can install another kernel like semaphore etc...
Hmhh that`s curious that you don`t find your device ...because in your link there is a pic of a SGS1 ...so i think you should get Slim Bean also for SGS1...
No the verson of slim bean for i9100 won?t work on i9000 because of the other hardware ....
Hope i could help you a little bit!

Flash player without root

Hi everyone,
My dad has a Galaxy Ace and is wanting to use flash on the web. The only solutions I can find need root/custom roms, and he wants to keep his phone stock...
I know this is a long shot, but are there any ways to get flash working on his phone while keeping it stock?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

One version you can install like normal app
I appreciate the help, but (unless I misread somewhere) I think you still need root for that as it needs a file to be copied with root explorer...
U dont need to root it
just install normally apk that guy above gave u
astro file manager doesnt need root and works just as well as root explorer now.
But the post says that I need to copy the lib folder and set its permissions, I thought you needed root to do this :S Are you saying I can just install the APK and the lib file is not needed?
Sorry if I'm being thick and overlooking the obvious ;-)
Dude just google " flash 10.2 for arm 11 devices xda developers.com" ..download 10.2 its pretty good..ohh wait i think u require to be on a custon rom 2b able to use it..but i think it should work in stock rom too...anyway you cant have your cake and eat it too...just root the phone or be flash-less XD XD

Excellent! That seems to be the answer, I'll try it out later...
I would flash a custom ROM and root personally, but it's my Dad's phone, and he's scared that I will break it if I do stuff like that, so he wants to keep it stock...
Ohh cum on dude...flashing roms is as easy as ABC ..(if u follow the instructions that is )..i m yet to come across anyone in this forum u follwed the instructions and screwed his phone..
P.S NEVER EVER mess with ROM MANAGER..that thing is dangerous

Yeah, that's what I told him... I've flashed many a ROM on my SGS without a single problem, but my Dad thinks I'll brick his phone!

[Q] I need someone to help me

Hello guys. I'm gonna to buy this phone in 3 days. I have Xperia™ X8 with 2.3.7 and nAa Kernel now so I am not newbie in Custom ROM's and Kernels. I know all what i need about ICS on my current device because in forum is a lot of tutorials..But I didn't find this on Captivate forum so my question is can someone say me the following things?
I want ICS ROM:
I know that I need root my phone sure.
1. Recovery install process is this?? -- Root my phone. Using "Root Explorer" put some files to system and reboot. (This process is from my X8)
2. Which ICS ROM is best?
3. I think that I need new kernel right? If yes which one is best for ICS? (On X8 Custom Kernel has Built-in recovery is it same on Captivate?)
4. Do I need Unlock Bootloader or do something like this??
If someone can put links for ROM, Kernel (If needed), Recovery and guide me how to change my Kernel and Flash ROM?
Please I really don't want to see some answers as "Keep 2.2 if you don't know how to do it"...I really want HELP. I believe that there is someone who can help me.
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad English.
Actually, not quite. I have this little guide that explains it. I hope it helps!
For a couple of your other questions:
-There is no "Best" ROM. The best ROM is the ROM that works best for you. The only way to find that out is to keep trying them out until one of them stands out. Personally, I like CM9 because of the features. But that's just me.
-Once you're on ICS, you don't need to change the kernel. You can, if you'd like. All custom ROMs and kernels come with ClockworkMod recovery
-Galaxy S phones don't have locked bootloaders or fastboot or anything of that nature.
THANK YOU !!! It's really nice guide...but you said that i don't need change my kernel but how can i flash rom from stock 2.2 and stock kernel ?? You said that roms and kernels come with CWM Recovery but on stock kernel i need to install recovery first right? Can i use Rom Manager to install recovery on stock kernel ???

that kernel only exists on your phone as quickly as you can boot into CWM and flash your rom of choice. so answering the first part of your question doesnt matter. it has cwm.
ALL captivate roms come with a kernel. every time you flash a rom it replaces the previous kernel.
Flashing bootloaders is the ONLY way to brick a captivate. Only do it once. Dont unplug your phone durring the 10 second flash. NEVER EVER EVER EVER FLASH "3 button fix" after flashing gingerbread bootloaders. #1 it is NOT needed and #2 it WILL brick your phone. only flashes half the bootloader.
Okey guys, thank you for answers I'm gonna try it on monday when I buy this phone.... Is camera fully working on AOKP Milestone 4 ROM or better is to install Build 31 ??
I want ICS with all working features is there one which has all features working ? If no is Build 31 by Kang good choice for me or you recommend some other ICS ROM?
Yeah I know guys a lot of questions but don't worry this is my last question
oh you dont even have the phone yet?? that explains some of the questions...

It's not hard, just read the tutorials posted here, and you wont have a problem. When I first bought my Captivate, the first day I got it from at&t, I flashed CWM and flashed a custom ROM without any trouble. The first ROM I flashed was Serendipity 6.4, and the dev's made it so easy, they explain everything from start to finish.
But, I highly recommend you buy a Jig before you go and flash anything. search on ebay or mobiletechvideos for a JIG. You can recover your phone from any Soft Brick state that can occur, with a Jig. Just don't go and mess around with bootloaders, if you do something wrong flashing a bootloader, then it might just Hard Brick your phone. If you do need to flash a bootloader, make sure you read everything that the dev posted about installing, then try to do it yourself.
Please, anyone correct me if I am wrong.

[Q] P880

Welcome!
Yesterday brand new P880 landed in my hands. It would be great to get maximum performance from device but I'm new to android. Couple of posts about that on forum wasn't clearly enough for me. I dont want to be guided by the hand because I know that's kind of boring in 882 time's in a row. I want to know what tool and order to use for it?which mod and kernel i should use and what free apps is the best for music and movies? Thank's for help and sorry for my crappy english.

All that is covered 999 times so far and i can tell that you dont like to read forums.
Basicly for best rom you must test couple of them to see witch one fit you the moust i whould recomend JellyBeer - CM 10.1 (latest stable build)-Carbon-ReVolt or any other rom you like to flash and test.For kernels i definetly recomend custom kernel warewolf-iodak-optimus prime kernel.And yes you must test them to see witch one is best for you.Also u can get stock LG rom with some changes and custom kernel running on your device...Afterall you must devote some time to your phone if u want to make it work the way you like.Sorry no easy answer and sollution for your question.
First of all, thank You for answer. Second 'yeah' I'dont like to loose time for searching answer in sea of answers.I know that's annoying to talking about it for 999 times and that's why I'm greatfull. Back to topic, can You tell me what order i should keep to start modding?

Just some quick steps to add > Update to Euro Open 20a > Root > Unlock > Download Rom Manager from Play store>Install Clock Work Mode from it (if you want Touch u have to pay for it (i have regular CWM and everything works fine))> MAKE backup of your current Stock rom (helped me in a couple situations) via CWM>Pick up custom ROM you like flesh it + flash kernel you like and start to have fun
That's almost all i want to know. Where do i get kernel? Is it merged with ROM or is it stand-alone feature? which one goes as first to device?

[Q] wifi shows error after installing nameless rom

my apologies if this question has been asked before but since i couldnt find it anywhere so i am posting now:
this is my first time rooting an android device and that too coz recently my htc desire c had become super slow so i unlocked bootloader and downloaded the hasoon2000 tool but after the recovery step i was totally lost on how to flash kernel and all so i switched to superboot and i successfully rooted my phone.
now i wanted to install a rom so i chose nameless rom but the instructions were so confusing and i messed up. i couldn't install it and then my phn wnt start so i went back to hasoon2000 and flashed kernel using the boot.img from the nameless rom and my phn was back up but my wifi is not on anymore. its says error and i saw that my mac address was gone. then i tried again installing the rom and this time i did successfully install it but my wifi is gone
i have two questions:
1. how can i get my wifi back in this rom?
2. can i install any other rom and if i do then will i get my wifi back?

Click on the second link in my signature.. Look for Prometheus Sense Kernel there. Flash that using fastboot, (or the toolkit) and your wifi should be back.

The 'method' to install any ROM is the same and its not difficult. And there is no such thing as a best rom. It's just personal preferences. So if you like HTC Sense, then go for Revolution or Sensational Rom. And if you like a more 'Nexus-like' feel then we've got a lot of JB Roms for you. JB ROMs are believed to be faster than Sense ROMs in general.
So just look at threads of the different ROMs and once you decide to install, download it. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 right now. I've been using it for a long while now. It was the first JB rom made for this phone and all the other ROMs are made using this as a base..
We even have Samsung-like and Xperia-like Roms. So if you're interested in that, have a look.
And for Sense, Sensational ROM V4 is the most up to date ROM we have. It has a Sense 5 feel to it..
Hope that helps a bit. One more thing - never ask for best rom or best kernel. It's bad manners. But we can understand as you're new..
