What OS Should i upgrade to ?

I have updated my frnd's spica from 1.6 to 2.1 a long time ago and i'm thinking of upgrading the android version.Which do you suggest, the
[Rom] [Spica] OMG v1.22.12.10 [Android 2.1] [Stable] [Customization Updated/Adding]
what is the diff betwen this one and one of the official early released eclairs ?
or
FROYO for SPICA (CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Spica-alpha8.3)
Is this Foryo stable and usable ? (my frnd does not know anything about these things)

Better install SpicagenMod- also Froyo, it's still not a final release but it's beeing worked on all the time

I suggest SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration. It's stable, nice and Silky Smooth

Go to samdroid.net, all downloads are there.
Expect similar bugs/problems as with SpicagenMod (it was used as base)

I have downloaded - SGM-froyo-BETA1_NextGen2.2a from samdroid,but there were no instructions about installation.I tried searching,but none were for this version. Can you post the procedure to update from android 2.1 (i think it is a official samsung early release).

Present Firmware
This is what i have in the spica presently.
FIRMWARE VERSION - 2.1 UPDATE-1
BASEBAND VERSION - I570EXXJD1
kERNEL VERSION - 2.6.29
Root @ SE-S601#2
BUILD NUMBER - ECLAIR.XXJH6
I have downloaded SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration from samdroid. Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to update the firmware ?

1. Make sure battery is charged
2. Root your phone- tutorial is here (samdroid.net)
3. Put SGM NextGen package on the root of SD card
4. Boot to recovery (vol down+call+end call simultaniously)
5. Choose Install zip from SD option, select SGM Next Gen package, press Home button when asked
6. Sit back and wait

HI
Hi
at the moment I'm running froyo 2.2 rom on my spica and to be honest I am not that impressed. its the samdroid mod, this 1 I think (not sure a guy rooted, etc for me)
SamdroidMod 2.0.1.alpha.8.3 - Froyo [AOSP] for i5700
so my Q is this, can I just put the rom you have supplied on my sd card then boot into recovery apply then hit home when prompted?, Do I have to hit "Wipe cache etc"? as this will be my first time applying a rom myself. Will I lose all my settings & apps etc?
does everything work l;like sound, bluetooth etc, all the important things I mean.
any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated

well,i installed the custom eclair long back on the spica upgrading it from 1.6 using ODIN softwere flasher. I guess if your phone is rooted,i guess you can just put it on ur SD and you have to erase cache and data as these are not upgrades to your version , but completely different versions.
Here is a new one from samdroid as well - http://forum.samdroid.net/f53/cyanogenmod-6-1-1-spica-alpha8-4-a-4716/
You can back up all your stuff with some softwares on the market... - Titanium Backup ★ root - Android app on AppBrain

The best for me is "Ultimate Spicaclair 1.5"

Is this the Galaxy 3?

Good Afternoon Folks.
I am a bit lost at the moment don't really venture over to the Samsung phones as I don't have one myself.
However my wife does and its running a very old version of Android and I think its quite rubbish to be honest. I would like to root it and upgrade the rom to the latest that is possible. (I have done this with with my HTC Desire and many times in the past with WinMo phones)
Now I am not 100% sure if it is a Galaxy 3 or not and I was wondering if anyone can clairfy that for me. All the pictures of the G3 on the web are almost identical to her phone but they seem shorter and fatter
Her's was called a Samsung Galaxy Apollo I believe when she got it. I have also seen it being reffered to a I5800.
I have gone onto the About screen on her phone and listed some information here if that helps:
Model Number: GT-I5800
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I5800XXJG3
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.B0JH1
Could someone please clarify to me if this is the G3 and if so the latest rom available or may even a link to a rom dev that is fairly stable and fast?
I am hoping for 2.3 but don't think that is about for this phone so I am guessing it will be 2.2?
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Max

yes! whatever info you have given indicates that the phone is a galaxy 3(and gt-i5801(Apollo)=gt-i5800) it means you can flash any firmware of gt-i5800 to gt-i5801 & vice-versa.
So, go ahead and flash any ROM like Indroid, Kyrillos, Destiny ROM or G3 mod etc using Odin multi-downloader(above listed are Froyo based custom roms) & almost all of them are good.
There is also a gingerbread based CM7 but it is in alpha stage, see if you like it. All these and more roms can be found in the Development sub-forum of galaxy 3. And yeah your phone IS galaxy3. Best of luck.

Thanks for your reply that is very helpful.
One last question would you know the best rom for speed and power. I am looking for something fairly light as one of the reasons we are upgrading because she wants to play a game but with the standard rom half of the buttons appear white and very slow I am guessing this is because theres not enough power for the game to display properly.

Galaxy 3 has a crap GPU with screwed up drivers, so it faces problems rendering some of the imersive graphics of the games.
You should first flash any good ROM as Kyrillos 8.0 or Indroid 6 and flash any OC kernel like G3Mod or fugumod and overclock your CPU using setCPU and also use Chainfire3d. But, first learn about the advantages and disadvantages of overclocking

Overcome 10.1 Series v2.1.1

OK, so I`ve installed this ROM and it was very easy to do. However, what am I supposed to "see" different? My "settings" screen looks the same and not the same as the screenshot in the forum (Overcome 10.1 Series v2.1.1). Also,I can confirm I`m on Overcome 10.1 Series v2.1.1 since the about device screen tells me. I`ve seen the changelog etc but don`t fully understand the differences to the standard Samsung ROM. Also, now it`s a custom ROM, will this allow me to charge via USB (from PC) or do I need to enable something to allow this? Sorry for the noobs question!! Ta

Since Overcome doesn't have any extra themes or anything, you won't "see" anything different. You probably noticed that some of the applications you had are now gone (the ones installed by your carrier etc.) and that you now have root access (superuser application). It also has an extended power menu, allowing you to reboot to recovery and download mode directly.
There are also some other changes that you can't see, like the ROM being zipaligned and deodexed - those changes cannot be "seen", but they should make the ROM run smoother. Also, if you updated from stock 3.1 or something, you're now on android 3.2.
As this ROM has a stock kernel, it will not allow you to charge via USB, for that you will need pershoots kernel (look in the development part of the forums or click the link in my sig ). After you flash the kernel, you'll also need to enable USB charging. Again, search is your friend here, I think there is even a sticky that has all the info needed.

Thanks for the reply.Excellent!

No problem, if you have any other questions I'm sure someone will have the answer .
Oh and feel free to click the "thanks" button ;-)

Simply upgrading your tablet is not anywhere near as easy as you think it is. You need to flash a custom ROM, changing your tablets firmware. Currently, we do have a couple of ROMs available but each of them has something not working correctly. Also, please note that there are two elocity tablets. One is the A7, and one is the A7+. If you try to flash a ROM intended for the A7 onto the A7+, you will brick your tablet, rendering it completely useless. In other words, i would reccomend reading around these forums and searching for details about ROMs. If you still want Homeycomb after reading up on the facts, then there is a post here by Dexter that will give you a verry buggy version of Honeycomb. Jam4 over at Tablet Roms is actually working on stabilizing a HC ROM right now for the A7+, andd if you want to wait a little you could get that ROM.

[Request] Deodexed rom for latest N9100 (double sim note 4)

Hi,
Can someone provide link (or make ) Deodexed system (cmw) for N9100?
Latest version is Android 5.01
N9100ZHU1BOF2
(Hong Kong version)
For those curious, only Deodexed roms can support xposed framework
With xposed + Inteli3g, and after running a debloated script, my note 4 is very fluid (even with TouchWiz) and last 2 days without effort...

Anyway here is a china website with roms for this, i have yet to try and install, jus afraid they aint stock roms.

I'm currently using a deodexed ROM with xposed and wanam on my N9100. Most things works, except changing stuff colors.
The only thing about this ROM is that the extra settings app already pre-installed (similar to wanam but better) is in chinese, so very difficult to work with (if any chinese member could translate it would be great ).
ROM link (password ynhr)
THIS is the best chinese forum for ROMs that I could find until now.

yes, unfortunately only english and chinese.
a week ago I intalled another ROM that had multilanguage with Language Enabler but I can't honestly remember if I also installed xposed on it or not... I think so, but not sure. if you want to give it a look see the post #36 on THIS thread.

yes, totally agree. i'm very noob at this xda forum and don't want to do anything wrong but couldn't we create a subsection in the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" section to group things about this specific model N9100?
Everything is mixed and scattered making it very hard to find usefull information and gatter efforts to improve things.

i believe this 5.1.1. ROM just came out for the n9100. i can't be sure if it supports dual sim or not cause the chrome translation is not that clear.
can someone check the page and check this?
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8113654-1-1.html
EDIT: only supports single sim
