Hi guys
Currently I am using ugjl2 stock rom with speedmod kernel.
I cant wait until samsung provides gb update, they are too slow in progress, especially in north america.
Korean version of galaxy s is already updated and had some more updates for bugs
Back to the topic,
Can anyone recommend me custom gb rom thats easy to install and has full camera performance?
Oh! And i need the way to get back to froyo(ugjl2) stock rom.
Do I just flash ugjl2 file via odin?
Um...also I need to keep 3g working
Thx
I used both Simply Honey and now Juwe, no problems.
Well... there is the OS battery drain glitch happens once in a blue moon... simple restart solves the problem...
Just make sure you flash an 850 enabled modem KC1, JL2 or JK4 etc...
To get back to stock just flash in Odin, I have not done it but do a search on here people seem to say just flash the stock firmware.
P.S. Froyo UGKC1 is newer then JL2
Do you flash kc1 modem after the gb flashing or together? And where can I find odin flashable kc1 modem?

Do you flash kc1 modem after the gb flashing or together? And where can I find odin flashable kc1 modem?
Do you have kc1 modem?or links that i can downlaod it?
And does csc matter??
just flash the kc1 modem after you have installed the ROM, there are lots of links with modems just search to forums... You can either use oden and just flash the phone file but there are also some CWM versions you can install from recovery.
How about the csc??
Do i need to flash another file? Or doesn matter?
flashing a csc that is not compatible with ther kernel will mess it up... so I suggest not flashing the csc. just flash the phone file

I'm running Tweaky's 4.1 which has a JVO modem. As you can see in the screens, I'm on KC1 and the CSC is different from the PDA (but the only thing I changed on the phone was the modem). Simply follow the instructions flashing the kernel & rom. In my case it was install the rom on the SD card, flash the kernel via odin, install the rom in recovery, reboot, clear caches and when everything was up and okay, flash KC1 modem by itself via odin.
An additional safeguard against battery drain is Autostart. It analyses whats running in various stages of boot and normal operating modes. So you can turn off background operations (like updates) accordingly, and save juice.
I've been running stock JVK with CF-root kernel and KC1 modem. I have great battery life and the phone is super snappy. I'm thinking of upgrading to another GB build but I'm quite happy with JVK so until I start seeing some slowdowns or there's some major improvements I'm just going to stay with JVK.
Jvk is just not official and probably contains more bugs then jvh or jvo

JVO was the most stable in my experience.
Rumor has it JVO fixes some bugs on JVH and also fixes the OS battery drain issue
SH3.5 and change the karnel after install
the best for me

I was on JVH (JVO modem) simply honey and Juwe's for awhile and I was getting 2 days+ battery life with moderate use on Bell. This was compared to 1-1.5 days on JVK modem.
Then I switched to MIUI, though the battery drain issues haven't been fixed there yet and I'm back to getting around a day-ish charge.

I'm still getting the android OS battery drain bug on JVO. Has happened after playing Cordy and playing music on doubletwist. Going to try using SetCPU to throttle it down when the screen is off.

hi, posted similar on another thread but still fairly new at this so could do with a bit of advice please?

is getting GB simply a case of flashing a new kernel or do i have to go with a custom rom? i wouldn't have to change the phone/csc files in odin would i?

I guess i want to install Darky's v8.0 firmware i just need help getting started.
1.) Do i need to root first?
2.) ClockWorkMod Recovery what do i need to do to get it installed? Just put in on the SD card and go into recovery?
3.) What about SIM locks? The phone is locked to bell.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 JL2 from Bell Canada and in the recovery menu i see 3e which i know needs to be downgraded to 2e.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I read the tutorials in the samsung vibrant section but since that a different phone then i9000 i dont wanna take any chances.
No you do not need to root first.
Go into the I9000 Android section of the forum's and into the speed mod thread and flash hardcores kernel with Odin using his instructions. This will get you 2e recovery and clockworkmod the program used to install custom roms.
After that download Darkys rom onto your SD reboot your phone into cwm recovery its the default recovery with hardcores kernel and the choose update from SD and select darkys Rom and that's it wait for it to install.
I would provide links and such but I'm currently away from my PC.

i was reading it all days yesterday both ways. But i can't find a JPx ROM that word work on my bell phone. Dose it matter that its locked? or do i just pick and flash?
You can flash with it locked, just means your phone is still locked after you flash.
If you flash the speedmod kernel, you get 2e (as mentioned earlier), and you also get an option on the recovery menu to root the phone. I suggest rooting, I think you need root to generate your unlock codes.
Download an app from the market called SGS Unlock... This will generate the unlock code for you.
Of course if you're using Bell, don't worry about unlocking. Locking to a carrier as far as i know, will not prevent you from flashing and using other carriers' roms. But then again, it's so darn easy to unlock, why wouldn't you anyways?
why not flash CF-Root v1.3? is it not the same thing and thats what it says to use in Dark'y thread.
So i guess find a JPx ROM use Odin and flash it and then flash the kernel either CF-Root v1.3 or speedmod and then flash Darky's ROM?
EDIT
I just installed the speedmod kernal, do i need to now install clockwork recovery? i think not coz its part of speedmod kernel?
i should really read Samdroid_G_S post

Btw once on this kernel can we flash any Rom or only 2.2 and higher, I read somewhere that JL2 was special has it can't be downgraded.....
thx
1 post!!!!
nah i been messing around with it all day finally had darky 8.1 installed to find it was broken. Just flash hardcore speedmod kernel and then flash darky 8.0 WIPE and then Darky NO WIPE.
Dont delete any cache or anything after you flash to 8.0. From 8.0 just update right away.

I flashed Darky's V7, V7.7 and V8 then went back to JL2 in between each without any problems. I try a lot of different ROMs and always end back at JL2.
Ian
load it up with Darky's v8.0...then flash just the JL2 modem using odin, then flash the speedmod kernel (12M now I believe) using odin or CWM.
Battery life is better than when on voodoo kernel and the JL2 modem makes GPS better (all this on bell's galaxy s of course).
i may go back to the JL2 Modem as well, just gonna test it for a few days. You should install 8.1 NO WIPE as well.
Do you just hit the PDA button in Odin and select modem.bin and then hit start?
Yes you put the jl2 modem file in pda and hit start

hi
i have installed stock froyo rom with kies than flashed with clock workd ka6+voodoo all went good.
now i have tried to flash the ka7+voodoo all went good i think (no errors) but in phone info i still see the kernel version ka6.
is this normal or something went wrong?
Just trish reflash through rom manager. Make sure your on a 2.2 rom that is compatible with the ka7 kernel.
i am on a samsung stock 2.2 rom - will i be able to use a ka7 or kb1 kernel with stock 2.2 froyo from kies not from google?
did you enable it?
no, i don't know how.
clockworkd finished flashing the ka7 kernel than i rebooted.
current kernel ver. showing 2.6.32.9
build: FROYO.UVKA6
update zip was taken from supercurio thread.

About Phone doesn't show kernel version as ka6 or ka7.
It does show the BASEBAND that way, but that is not the same thing.
Your kernel probably says "2.6.32.9"
so if i understand u correctly i have the ka7 installed atm.
is there a way to know if it rly is a ka7 kernel.
Hey
I am curious to know which rom you guys flash when things arent going your way?
I know that jm8/9 is a popular rom.
My rom is jpk, reason being I've never had a failed flash with it, since its froyo I can use speedmod with it to flash a doc rom and its the only Odin rom on my computer.
Please share your favourite rom and why.
Cheers

I like to have a folder with the latest PDA (was just xwjs5, will now use zsjpg), speedmod kernel, aussie unbranded csc and i used to have the zsjpe modem (will now use zsjpg) all ready to flash with heimdall.
I used to use JM8 until i realised repartitioning to 512.pit all the time was unnecessary.
I also have the very first aussie optus/virgin stock rom and latest froyo aussie unbranded stock rom.

After installing one of the Gingerbread roms (Default [ROM] [CM7] [7/14/11] Trigger Redux ยป Build 13 ) I had to go back to Froyo for Wifi Calling.
But when I flash any Froyo rom using the clockworkmod v4.0.1.0 I get this error:
Amend scripting is no longer supported... Installation aborted.
Do I need a previous version of CWM? Which one? And how to install it?
Any other solution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I'm new here so sorry if this is a noob question. I've been fiddling a bit with the software on my Vibrant and am a little confused which modem I'm using now. I flashed the Bionix V v1.3.1 which I believe has KB1. I proceeded to flash Overstock 1.4.3 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967861 which is KA6 based. Does it mean that I have flashed over KB1 with KA6? I check the phone info and it says that the baseband version is T959UVKB1 though. I'm not sure if the baseband version changes with every modem flash or ROM flash.
Also, if I flash with an updated modem, eg. KB5, would my overstock be overwritten, or does it change only the modem?

whatever the extension on the baseband version is your Modem. So in your case its KB1.
Overstock is a kernel, totally different from the modem.
You can flash different kernels, it wont change your modem.
Kernels and Modems are two separate things. Overstock may be based on KA6, but that just involves the kernel.
If you flash the KB5 modem, that is the only thing that will change. Your kernel wont be affected.
Bionix 1.3.1 was built using KB1 modem
Its in the op for the rom
