its not a good rom...
1. looks really bad, (looks) not at all impressive...
2. i dont see any improved speed.....
i guess gsam's stock aosp 0.1 custom rom is 100 times better than this.....
gsam , if u are seeing this, please we want next updated version of your great rom..

Link? I didnt saw any custom roms for our phone only this and something in General, i searched bad, right?
EDIT: its ok, link was found
SG 3, 2.2 JPF ultra clean, rooted

Hmm,
I think the custom rom by Motafoca is uite good. Atleast no bugs till now, and great battery life. As for the looks I dont think it is any different to the other ROMS. It is just a matter of installing a launcher of your choice if you dont like Ream launcher.
By the way combined with your glossy green framework everythink looks enticing!
By the way Nakul, is there a chance of having that green themes of yours in other colors too? Like sky blue maybe??

yes thats exactly i am gonna release another theme.....
blue coloured with entirely different icons..
and hope if dark lestats deodexed rom is up, my theme would be full coz the stock apps would also then can be changed.....

Tried this rom.
Hi. Just like to share my brief experience with this rom and highlight a problem to the dev. Everything was fine, but the samsung keypad no longer worked well. It could only input numbers in the portrait 3x4 mode. The reason why I'm using the 3x4 is because this phone's my mom's and it's much easier for her to hit the larger 3x4 buttons than the smaller ones on the Qwerty keyboard.
Thank you motafoca!

Androidify stopped working suddenly..

Hii
I had androidify runnning on my clean JPF with lagfix+data2sd.
I flashed the rom again because of the laggy phone and now i find that androidify force closes. Currently I am using Lestatious v1.2

All kind of this problems are usually because you have to wipe data before flashing new rom.(Only exception is when you are doing minor updates of few roms). So please try it ;-)

Dude, thats the inherent problem with lagfix and data2sd, you need to repeat it to your new ROM each time, unless like already mentioned above, its just a minor upgrade along the same custom ROM path... Please backup your card and apps first, and then flash JPF, then Flash Lestat v1.2 in one package.... Then u can apply your lagfix & data2sd fixes...!! Hope this works !!

I've never really seen the point of lagfix, don't you lose phone memory because of it?

Actually I know that lagfix+data2sd has to be repeated to each rom. That's kinda silly and anybody even noobs know that it has to reapplied to every new rom you flash..

market help

I cant seem to install the android market on my gt 540..... last week did i update it from android 2.1 to 2.3.3 swiftdroid 1.8 and i got market running on the phone fine and all but now today when i decided to change from 1.8 to 1.9..... i cant install the market like i used to before.... what i used before was a zip file called gapps_gb_20110120.zip that seemed to work before..... but know it doesn't seem to work for me.... and i did delete some folders from my sd card..... might it be because of that?

connect your phone with internet and it should be downloaded automatically

i have my wifi on and all that but.... it doesn't seem that it downloads or anything like that.....

[Q] How to OTA update direct to the ROM

I'm new to android ROM and just been flashing it for about a month. I've found NDT MIUI dev ROM from langthang which I like a lot.
Since I'm new to the forum, I cannot post anything in his thread so I'm here.
Please execute me if I'm posting in the wrong place but I would recommend NDT MIUI dev v29.1 for you to try out.
So come to my question, I see the SYSTEM UPDATES under Setting->System->About Phone..... When I press it, there is a fc and send report. How can I use this and don't need to clean install again when there is an update.

Don't think you can use those updates anyway. Soz, but just had to point out the typo 'please execute me...' lol. Sad thing is, some people would. Anyway, I don't think you can use the updates from that section, just use XDA. You can download files to be flashed straight from the web browser then flash them anyway, no physical connection needed.

thank for advise...

Yeah HD2 does not support stock OTAs as that is for Android phone updates, since this is not a native Android device, if you did somehow manage to initiate and OTA update it would not have correct drivers to run on your phone anyway.
Best bet, like posted, is just to download the updates from your phone or CPU and flash them as normal. Check the rom thread to see if a full wipe is required as most times it won't be necessary. Full wipes are usually for switching roms or if there is something major being changed in an update (like a new system base etc.)

thank again.... my last upgrade, i just wipe cache / wipe delvik / and flash zip file and it works so well using NDT miui. great battery life now. recommended.

Its the ROM you flashed. Maybe you should try calling the number to see who that is. Maybe its the ROM Dev stealing your number? xP I know I'm being paranoid. xP

It is a stock ROM
Model GT-S5360
Baseband: S5360XXLE1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#16

Did you applied your home CSC after flash, and/or wiped data/cache?
Well, I'm converting (nowadays by SplitFUS2) the Samsung files without any modification.
But! For wipe packs I'm including the userdata.img file, which was extracted from an old multi-files pack, named "S5360XXKI6_bysamsdroid.rar". This pack may be considered as insecure, and theoretically might have some hidden "inappropriate" things which I'm not aware , but if it's true then there were hundreds of complaints according to this SMS, I think...
Have You used some Indian custom ROMs in the past maybe?

Please ask questions here. Thanks
-Techno

Hi,
I flashed: S5360_XXLE1_OXXLE1_XXLE1_wipe_by_SplitFUS2
Using the included CSC.
No other ROMs tried yet.
Greetings.
Sorry for putting the question to the wrong thread.
But it is really not easy to find the correct section.

That's why I stickied it, just trying to get everyone to know, no problem, just try and remember next time

Your phone has a Rootkit/Virus, firstly download AVG from Google Play and open it and scan. If any infections found remove them. Now if that doesn't stop it then flash your phone with Creeds Room v3.2 which you can find in the Galaxy Y Dev section. Hope this helps you.

you really believe in antivirus apps for android?
just try to look at permissions on the apps on your phone try to find ones that has
"Enable services that cost you money"
or find a permission finder app on google play

Have you checked your third party sms app? -if you do have a third party sms app, you should! Check for any auto-send or auto-reply sms.
Also . . .
There are ways to send sms with commands depending on carrier. Like in philippines there is this fcuking sms that you send to any number, once they open it, your phone will hang and makes your sms permanent -no way of deleting it and it's not curse of silence remote vulnerability.
-perhaps someone sent you an sms with a code.
SMS these days are more like a html page, where you can embed stuff.
I suggest you do full flash -unless you want to spend your free time investigating on what's happening to your phone.
-just saying, I may be wrong. Hahaha

looks like its a malware from an app you downloaded from a black market (maybe) and installed on your phone. google reported that they too removed some apps from their own google play store because of these types of malwares. one example was another angrybird game which was not official ... i read it from a security site.
what i would suggest is for you to do a clean factory reset, then clean flash of any official stock rom. next time be careful on the apps you install on your phone.

it wouldnt hurt using one, win viruses are different from linux malwares but they do exist on android (linux). android is a target for many hackers and "skids" because of its big userbase and it is opensource.

The problem of the SMS comes from installing a custom ROM that is from India and the rom is based on an old stock rom, like Creeds, because +91 is from india

I tried Creeds Rom - same thing.
sending SMS again.
apps:
* no black market tools
* no autosending sms tools
Going back to stock rom.
Without installing any apps.
and check again.
is there a pssibility to trace sms?
