I'm on a debranded 2.0.2.A.0.24 right now. Its rooted, has the the multitouch drivers, the "enable in all applications" hack as well, JIT enabled, etc.
Should I bother installing the complete 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, then re-root/JIT it ?
Sure go for WB rom

I think so, they added some stuff to Mediascape, contacts, etc. It definitely is a lot smoother stock than any previous update.

Just upgraded using registry hack,
my phone is so snapier, no more lag at all.
I was wondering is it still with the rfs system file, or what did they do to this firmware, that they couldn't managed before.
I have tried a few lagfixes before but none of them fixed the lag this much.
This is how it should be from the beginning.

I have upgraded too, same method , this build is far better than the previous JP5 (it was an italian H3G build). Although this morning i had to reboot because UI crashed while trying to open wifi settings... :?
I think i will sure offer a beer to Nodial for good work.
What about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881532 ?

Just flash my xperiax10i via flash method with Generic Firmware after reading some threads that the latest version can now be rooted, after flashing i updated the firmware using SEUS and it successfully updated to the latest version, upon checking Accessibility Features are now unlock and active.
Not sure if i am the only who notice that changes.
those features i seen it on Froyo or the 2.2version
I have updated to .24 too, but can't find that thing you mentioned or maybe because I updated from zdzihu's pre-rooted? IDK

I installed KustHome and it now has that toggled. But no actual options, and not for any other app.

I just noticed that upgrading throuh reg hack on Kies makes the phone run smoother than the same firmware while upgrading on Odin.
I don't know if this has to do with using one file in Odin however just wanted to share.

Is it the same file or two different files .
Kies your official network firmware Odin presume you are using a stock non provider file .

Is JPY officially available on Kies?

How did you determine this? Might just be a placebo effect or related to something else you did / didn't do (e.g. factory reset / cache wipe).

Yes. I flashed to it last night. I downgraded via odin back to 2.1. Downloaded kies 2.0 and it came up with JPY firmware. So far so good, GPS is meh, didnt use it enough today though. Ive never had GPS issues previously, through either official 2.1 roms or non official 2.2 roms. Ill test more 2 moro
This is pure bs as usual. When u install a new f/w benchmarks always run slightly faster till u get memory filled up with installed programs.

I don't care about benchmarks. I was speaking of generally using the phone.
The phone is smoother, there is no more lag. There was always lag before even with no programs installed.
However it can be placebo,
I also noticed that after flashing some kernel (for going back to 2e recovery) immediately reappears the lag
The stock 2.2.1 is also smoother to me than Darky rom, however they equal after applying lagfix on Darky.

I have a few questions.
I understand there are official updates for our phones 2.1->2.2 but they are operator based. So there are customized roms, that are with custom stuff.
I'm really intereseted in upgrading from 2.1 official rom to a custom, but dont know exactly which one to choose.
I once flashed a 2.2 but it bricked my phone, so i had it repaired (the phone didnt respond to any key combinations or anything at all).
So is there any point to upgrade if there isnt any stable roms.
And also why is everyone waiting for the official update from samsung when there are already 2.2 roms for 5800.
Lagfix seems like a thing to try out, but i want to be sure which rom is the best and so that the basic stuff works.
Don't know about others, but my reason for not upgrading to unofficial/custom ROMs is that I don't want to risk my phone (even if that risk may be small..)..I also don't have time to backup data, reset phone, re-install app.s, do settings again etc. which might be needed in the flashing process.
Besides, from what I read in this forum, none of the ROMs seems to be satisfactory enough & ready for prime time. But frankly, I am losing my patience fast & may soon go for a custom ROM if official upgrade doesn't arrive by end of this month..damn Samsung for taking sooo long..

Thanks for your reply, that's what i wanted to know. I was thinking the same thing that probably the custom roms arent stable enough and that the official update still aint available.
Why don't you use a stock 2.2 ROM like the JPF?

is it safe and works fine just like the default 2.1 that we have in our phones?
Sure ^^ and you cant brick your phone if you dont flash your bootloader^^ jpf also works faster^^ i would recommend to flash a custom rom. Like lestatious one. Everything works well on it^^ have fun
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
just dont flash the bootloader and you can always reenter download mode.
backing up isn't that big of an issue, titanium backup backs up pretty much everything.
If you're planning on using titanium, just be aware that you should only restore non android apps when switching from eclair to froyo..i tried this and kept getting fc's. Just make backups of stuff in the individual apps like contacts etc, then restore them after you upgrade to froyo. Then make a full titanium backup of everything once you have your phone the way you want it. From then on you can just test any rom you like and always have a quick easy way of getting your stuff back. I recommend using astro to backup titanium so you can have a version to hand after flashing.
P.S. I use jfp ultra clean and it rocks my socks

Ok, i might try out the stock 2.2 rom... But what about lagfixes or are they even neccessary on 2.2?
Cause my current 2.1 stock rom is really laggy, i remove tasks to clean up memory but it's still kinda slow.
Well if you're flashing a stock rom I would definately suggest JPF because it's pretty stable. You don't necessarily need the lagfix though..I personally found it made things a bit strange with random hangs when closing applications. Oh yeah and don't forget to use the modded 3d gallery from SGS Tools (I use the "last" version). You should be able to install it via the "Upgrade stock apps" option. You can also use it to change your GPS pool to Europe if needed.

So the jpf rom isnt europe or just needs some configs like that? But is the stock rom the best option, i don't neccessarily need all those extra stuff like samsung apps and layar etc. Pauri mentioned lestatious rom, its on JPA, for example. Is each one one of those stock roms like an update with still some bugs on them or just converted from other phone updates?
I'm between that custom rom and the JPF stock right now..
Oh it's a european rom, it's just that the default gps pool is set to north america. I installed The modded 3d gallery as a work around for the battery drain bug that the stock gallery has in froyo. Jpf clean is what I'm using till theres a more stable lestat rom because I tried jp9, which was good, but the bloatware...oh my..

i guess i'll take your word for it and try out the JPF
i flashed the JPF and so far so good. It's atleast twice as fast as the stock 2.1 i had. Thanks you all for help
one more question, how do i root froyo 2.2 ?
i tried the one click method, after the command running it said everything is fine you're rooted. In recovery mode i tried to install update.zip but it didnt work.
havent see any alternatives for 2.2
can anyone help?
So since I've had my GNote I've found that I quite often have to install nearly all updates twice...
Its weird.. as soon as I see an update for any apps I've installed I tend to compulsively update it immediately.
Then a few hours or a day later, the exact same apps have updates again. and it seems to be pretty much ALL updates.
Any idea what's going on here?
I had exactly the same. Was on stock kka initially then updated ota to xxla6 with phone provided by O2.
Lost my root cost of fiddling, so reinstalled kka via samfirmware, then updated with mobile Odin back up to la6 again from samfirmware. The double downloads has stopped, but more interestingly, the whole market interface is slightly different, for the better. I have 2 screens on my apps, installed and all, plus am able to filter comments by my device and latest version, never had these options previously...

This is because you have the new google play store (3.5.15) vs the one you have prior to do the clean install (3.4.7)
