[Q]Samsung Rom assistance required!

Evenings!
My girlfriend recently purchased a Galaxy 3 and I've noticed its running android 2.1, when Samsung mobile shows its capable of 2.2. I'm interested in flashing one of the samfirmware roms but I'm completely new to the Samsung way of doing things (my own phone is a HTC Desire running oxygen 2.1.3) .
Kies doesn't offer any updates, so I know I'm going to need to do this a different way, but I'm not entirely sure which rom to go with.
The handsets current details are as follows:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
PHONE: I5800XXJG3
CSC: I5800XXJG5
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend XWJPF. It's good and stable. After flashing you can root and deodex phone and install some new theme

Hello
You can use my rom if you want. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
I am glad to help you if you find any problem.

Been having a look at custom roms and I'm definitely interested in your rom, but its my girlfriends phone just want to get her up to date for now
If she lets me play with it a bit further I will definitely start with your rom
If I'm sticking to stock roms, does it matter which one I go for? And is there anything I need to specifically do to avoid bricking the phone ?
I have the ops file and the update, I'll get the one suggested above also but I need to wipe and install using Odin in download mode? God this seems complicated.. lol

The only chance to brick your phone is using a samsung's rom with bootloaders (~1% chance for bricking). Using any custom rom, you will be fine. Try my rom. She will like it
The flashing process is only complicated the first time. With 3-4 flashes you will do it easily.

Will your rom flash alright over her firmware?

Yes.

I gave her the choice and she wanted stock Samsung first, so I flashed jpm since a lot of custom roms seem to be based on that. Sorry dude!
If she changes her mind I'll choose yours first

Senselx ROM question

If I want to update to the 3.2 version can I just flash the ROM? I'm running on the 3.1 MTD version, I don't have to wipe anything, of delete my ext partitions? I also don't have to use that FR remove thing to get rid of the MTD?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

You shouldn't have to wipe anything.
and the only time you need to flash fr-remove is when you want to remorse custom mtd. (Such as changing roms. Or if you wanted to use the no-mtd version.)
I felt like I needed a signature.... here it is

Ah okay so its alright if I just flash the 3.2 version? I won't lose my data or anything?

Yep. You should probably make a backup first tho.

BTW how come there is no YouTube?
also, I tried to flash the non-MTD version onto my brother's phone, but it gets stuck on the myTouch 3g green screen, do I need an ext partition to do the the non-MTD version?

How to upgrade without losing apps and stuff???

Hi everyone,
Due to the success I had loading the Android nand on my HD2, its been a while since I've been here. I wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest Android software. Can you guys help with that? I am running a nand rom from Dark Forces Team. Is there anyway to upgrade without losing my apps and/or other things....I guess?
Thank you in advance!

Oh cool. Where do I get that? Also, how do I upgrade? I guess I should've mentioned that before.

Download all these Apps and install them.
Backup the things you want to backup (will be saved to sd)
Flash new rom.
Install Apps again and restore the data

Sorry, I must be blind. Is there a link or something I should click on? I skimmed through the forum; not sure where the apps are nor the Rom I should use to upgrade.

You go to android nand section on xda and choose rom you want and download these Apps through market.
Sry that's what you asked for and that's it.

So 3.0 is the latest software? I thought it was 2.3. Yeah, I've been gone too long.

2.3.4 is latest.
I meant sense 3.0

I dont know about Liberty Toolbox, but I think the same developer's ROM Toolbox app works fine. I also believe that ROM Toolbox can be used to download the latest CyanogenMod (I think).
You can install new CyanogenMod versions without wiping data. Just flash over your currently installed build.

Were can I get the rom toolbox

Does it happen to anyone? I'm using EnergyROM, Android 2.3.5 and HTC 3.5.
Thanks

Are you using stock dialer?

Seems to me your rom may either need updating or you may just need to reflash your rom, did you do a full wipe when installing this rom?
