Best ROM for Australia - Galaxy S I9000 General

I am moving to Australia from the UK and want to know what ROM you recommend

Any rom you like should be fine. But maybe the modem will have an effect. I used JPE for a while qith good results. And JVO and JVP at the moment. But others here will know much better than me.
Possibly, if you end up on our Telstra network and if your phone is able to use the correct band, you may need a specific one to access their Next G network. I think it may be the JL2 modem.
Actually, I don't know if all the Galaxy phones have the frequency available to use on that network. I think it's 850mhz. Maybe someone else could let me know if they all have the ability to use it, but have to have the right modem to use it.

I am currently using JVP with the ZSJPG modem. I have found that the JPg modem gives me great battery life with good reception too.

you can choose any rom
the only diffrent is in the battry life and the modem that you can
change.

You probably don't need to change anything. If you choose telstra as your carrier then you may need to flash an 850 compatible modem.
Also if you don't wish to enter the APN manually you could flash a CSC which includes Australian details.

I am personally running stock JVP 2.3.4 with XSA CSC. Nice and fast with brilliant battery life. The XSA CSC is also pre-configured for ALL Australian service providers.

I have used Juwe's and Criskelo both JVO and JVP without any problems.
My wife is using Simply Honey 3.6.1 and loves it, with no FC and great battery and Signal.
I would recommend all of them for Battery, signal and sound quality.

thanks for all the replies so it looks like I don't need to worry too much then.

Most roms and modems from 2.1 onwards work quite well here in Sydney.
Currently on Symply GS2 and have amazing reception and 3g speeds.
GPS is great.

Only thing to add is that you shouldn't count on 850 access even with a new modem file.
I just moved from UK to NZ and was told my UK phone wouldn't support 850 from a hardware perspective. Don't know if that its true as I've never tried it, but check your phone before choosing that provider! The rest of the providers, all use 900 etc should be fine without any new files.
I ended up keeping my UK Galaxy S on the stock UK firmware (they get released quicker anyway!) and manually typed in the apn settings for my provider. (I just avoided the provider here that used 850.)
Hope this helps. Good luck with the move.

Froyo for i5800l

Hi any rom with froyo for my G3L
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I5800L using XDA App
check out the threads in general section
The regular I5800 europe roms work fine.
Actually, the European versions do cause problems. Since the 3G frequencies are different in Europe and America, an European ROM will not fit snuggly into the American versions of the phone. At worst, you'll never get 3G coverage and will be stuck on Edge or just G, in the best case scenario it will work, but since the phone has to be calculating a number of redundant transmission packets, you battery life will be affected. The only way to really make the problems go away is for an American based company to release a firmware on froyo... which is ridiculously easy if you're looking from the point of view of the developer, because the only thing that has to be changed are the antenna frequencies in the drivers (easily done with the base code and the right tools).
The saddest thing is the superior i9000 (Galaxy S) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe; the inferior i5500 (Galaxy 5) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe. However, for some reason companies have not taken interest in the Galaxy 3. I bought mine in Brazil and have been using it in Argentina, which thank god has SOME european frequency antennas, which means I do get 3G sometimes. However, my battery drains way faster in an European Eclair or Froyo than it did in the American Eclair.
i don't know dude... but when i flashed froyo (kyrillos custom rom) i get everything... even the 3g... and it works like a charm. with the command *#2263# it shows all GSM bands.. even the 850 band.
i have a I5800L flashed with XXJPM (european rom) and no issues what so ever.
try a custom rom . Indroid is very good and fast
Anyone with more insight or experience? Not sure if I should bother picking a 5800L, if I can't run a stable version of Froyo.
Docnus: So zero issues using Kyrillos?
I'm using Kryrillos v3.0, no problems.
Quick & stable. GPS, WI-FI, 3g works fine.
Still confused?
Hi,
Could some one please tell me, what is difference between Firmware Froyo, Honeycomb and Rom's I5800XWJPD,I5801ZHJPF,JPM,Kyrillos,..etc.
Currently using Samsung Galaxy 3 GTi5801, and its very slow.
I need desperate upgrade. Please someone guide me, am newbie to this hole android OS.
Thanks

[Q] Telstra Galaxy Tab

Hey guys
I have one of the Telstra Galaxy Tabs, and basically want to work a few things out with it.
First off I gather, with mention of all the carrier-specific or gsm/CDMA Specific ROMs, this has something to do with a radio or some such being included?
The Telstra "Next G" Network, which the Tab is used on, is basically 3g on 850mhz. Which of the types would this come under?
I have "Some" experience with flashing/ROMs/etc, namely on my Desire, so I am no expert by any means (Defo wanting to learn, and have learnt a lot from here so far ) but I do have a small amount of experience.
Thanks guys.
So, the community round here will answer questions for people that have obviously not bothered to search and ask the same stupid crap over and over and over, yet someone who has done a LOT of research, and is legitimately confused over a terminology issue (because technically it ISNT GSM or CDMA if you learn how the networks actually work) and just wants a simple answer to a simple question, just gets totally ignored?
Great to see guys, Great to see.

GSM radio hardware is largely irrelevant, the hardware does the heavy lifting, the firmware doesn't care that it is, as long as it supports the right protocols.
Telstra uses a GSM/HSDPA/WCDMA network. In most cases, this is the case if your device has a SIM card.
The Tab sold here is essentially the standard UK version. If Telstra has an 850/2100Mhz HSDPA version then that could potentially be different. If you can root it using SuperOneClick, then run a complete firmware backup and try updating with another GSM firmware (e.g. RotoHammers JME) and see how you go. Before doing so, check that the device is unlocked, check if it can be rooted, determine the existing firmware/modem versions and the CSC version. It may be a custom firmware, it may not.
Your "LOT of research" was obviously fairly deficient if it hadn't ruled out Telstra using a CDMA network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstra

Well, The network you are referencing is actually the "Telstra 3g" Network used only in the capital cities around here. The network my Tab is used on/made for is the "Next G" Network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G is the specific network. As you can see, it is technically not GSM at all, it is UMTS, and actually replaced our old CDMA network. So, this is where my confusion was coming in. But, if I have this correct, it is used as a basic term, meaning GSM = Sim Card and CDMA = No Sim Card (like our old CDMA network, phone itself is coded to the number/network type thing, which to be honest I didn't realise still even existed) yeah?
Cheers for clearing that up
As for the freqs, if I do a *#2263# the 3 WCDMA bands that are starred are 850mhz 1900mhz and 2100mhz. The GSM Fallback shows GSM 850 GSM 900 DCS 1800 PCS 1900 all starred. (Yes I did realise this before, I explained why I was confused with the terms hehe) The main band I have to worry about really is 850mhz though, on the WCDMA side, as you would have seen from the link.
Well, the device can be rooted with Z4Root at least, that is what I have used to root the device. This is exactly what I intend to try, once I am sure I understand everything. Does not hurt to read and re-read until one is definately comfortable with the steps, and I like to understand what every part is that I am doing.

Just to be 100% sure, that is the one here? And you are on the Next G Network? (I assume so with the 850mhz band etc, I thought this would work, but doesn't hurt to be sure I am looking at the right one you are talking about hehe.)
I can confirm the original firmware is JJ3, with phone calling capabilities etc.
Of course, backups always come first, always.
Thank you heaps for the info.
Also, if there is any part of this device's firmware etc that would be helpful in any way to the devs, I would be happy to extract anything needed from a rotobackup or whatever. I won't be flashing it straight away, and definately not before a full backup anyway.
(edit:spelling)
HI mate, how did you go with the flash?
I'm thinking of doing this as well, but just want to see if anybody has noticed any difference (for the better that is).
I have n Australian telstra tab on the next g network, and flashing a rom was the best thing I ever did

New Zealand Thread

There are two specific Kiwi issues I would like to discuss.
Does anybody know where to obtain a stock ROM for the I9000 from Telecom New Zealand? I believe there is only Eclair, but would like to be proven wrong. I may require this in case of any warrany issues and to reset before upgrading to Gingerbread (at least I am led to believe this).
Which modem are you using (again Telecom NZ) on your custom ROMs? I have tried a few and I am currently using JL2. I had to flash this separately while using Darky's ROM 9.3, which worked fine in some parts of town but not at all in others (I presume it could not handle the 850 band).
Many thanks in advance

I believe JL2 is the correct modem to use. Do you have a Telecom SGS as the Vodafone one obviously does not support the 850mhz band that Telecom requires. It is possible that the rom/modem combo you are using disables the 850mhz band which would explain why some parts of town aren't working. I'm pretty sure there is a way to enable it if your hardware supports.
As for the thing about the stock rom, I think maybe you should ask people on the Geekzone forums - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=62267&page_no=323
telecom froyo
I have the telecom froyo release even though it has not been released officially.
i got it from Modaco,(i think cant quite remember), if someone could tell me how to post a download link i can put it up here. Also i have a rom which makes it relly easy to get 850Mhz back. Im at work at the moment so cant post that yet either.
Im using JVE modem with multi csc which works great in new zealand, JVE good for battery too.
pm me if your interested.
Choice one.
Keeping all the New Zealand info in one thread for neatness.
I've just moved in New Zealand from UK. I have UK SGS I9000.
Which New Zealand network would you recommend getting a Sim Card for?
Should I switch my ROM to a New Zealand based one? Hoping to use the free SatNav software too (is it called Navigon or something?), in case this makes a difference on ROM choice.
I've been told that 2degrees is the cheapest network.
Are there any hardware / software limitations on which network I should choose with a UK unit? 850Mhz band availability?
Love to hear your thoughts...
Thanks
Mike
Welcome to NZ. The network will depend on your location: 2 Degrees is cheap but has low coverage in rural areas, Vodaphone is ok in cities. I am with NZ Telecom, they get a bit of flak for problems they have had in the past. However, they are investing huge amounts and have the best rural coverage. Please be aware that your phone will have to use the 850 band in some areas.
I recommend the JL2 modem (ROM kitchen) and Darky 9.3 with Voodoo kernel.
Navigation for GPS use.
I'm with 2Degrees and they're cheap. But as a poster above had mentioned, the coverage outside big cities is limited, especially for data. This of course will change with time. Plus I'm a big supporter of NZ owned businesses.
Vodafone is a horrible company to deal with. Plus they have a lot of network issues everywhere in the country.
I have heard good things about the XT network (Telecom) in terms of speeds and coverage. If I wasn't on the tight budget, this is what I would choose in NZ. I hope this helps. :>

Just a quick correction, coverage is fine as the device roams on Voda when out of zone. So if there's voda coverage, there's 2degrees coverage (data is not as cheap though).
I'm using CM7, JPM. All seems fine.
Hello from Hamilton.
Thanks for the advice.
I'm probably going to be mainly in the Wellington region, so should have reasonable coverage on any network. Glad to hear that 2degrees has roaming on Voda though.
Will my UK I9000 SGS have 850MHz band available in the hardware? (sorry if this is a silly question). Will it be used if I have the correct firmware? Is 850MHz band used by all networks in NZ, or only for some networks?
All of the networks appear to be quite pricey for data. Who are the most cost effective for data? I'll be looking for either PAYG or Monthly Sim Only deals.
Thanks again for the great info.

I presume you're talking about 850MHz 3G and not 2G.
Vodafone and 2degrees have 900MHz 3G.
Telecom has 850MHz 3G.
I think your UK i9000 supports 900MHz from what I have managed to find out.

ive got an international i9000 that i bought before work (telecom) stocked them - so I cant get staff subsidy on my cell heh - I have 2degrees - because of the data pack and living in town - it was bad coverage where i lived out on the west coast at murawai - but in town i have no issues - even in the middle of the telecom borg cube building - i get my 2degrees data and voice coverage
I cannot recommend anyone to you - but I have converted some of the telecom staff i9000's to darkyrom's The theory is that version of the rom supports the 850mhz band - I guess I find out tomorrow with one of them
About backing up your factory rom - root the rom is the minimum first step and then you can make an odin image out of whatever is on the phone.

I've gone with 2 degrees for now on a simple pre-pay sim and all looks good. I'll see how much I use it and maybe get an appropriate monthly contract if needed in the future.

Quick further question...
Which CSC code do New Zealanders have? Should I, stick with my generic UK code, or move to a NZ one? What do you use and recommend?
Does which CSC I have affect my ability to use Navigon for free?
(I forget what my current CSC code is, but I noticed my Google Market is now priced in NZ dollars already, but they want to charge me for navigon download, which I thought was free over here. Ultimately I'll deal with Navigon, in the Navigon thread, and ask about CSC here... Just wondering if there is any implications of what makes a better CSC.)

Sorry, I cannot answer that with certainty. I do not believe that there are vast differences. I have tried Asia, North America and our version Oceania. I am however, very unhappy with the GPS performance, in particular the length of time to get a fix. Needleess to say, I have followed most guides and tried various fixes. I am, however, limited in changing modems as I rely on 850mhz band.

[Q] [i9000m] calling on Bell users: best modem ?

I know we're probably just days away from the official GB update, but I'm ready to go for custom roms being sick and tired of all the delays.
Now, I absolutely need to keep the 850MHz band as I work in a building which is worthy of being a bunker.
KC1 hasn't been a real success story with me; Eclair's JH2 being the one with which I had the least calls drop... by far!
Going to GB, which modem would you recommend and why?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I still haven't decided on which rom to go for either, though...
no problem with KC1 here
using it on two phones
Stay either with JL2 or KC1. They are by far the best modems for 850Mhz.
what about miui modem for bell canada? which do you guys reccomend?
+1 for JL2
JV6 is good too on Bell. I've used it before and its better on battery life with the same if not better reception than KC1. Got 83db in some places. Bad thing is there are problems with it on some ROMs with data IIRC.
I use it on MIUI and it's great for the most part, drop back down to KC1 when I have issues on the occasional build
kc1 for sure.
its a canadian modem
kc1 for sure.
its a canadian modem
used a wide range of Roms before settling on Brotuck's and different kernels before discovering damian's gto. Best combination imo. Tried the different stock modems as they have been released, still find KC1 to be the best for Canadian (Bell) usage.

Canada Telus,Rogers or Bell Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G stock rom

I missed up my Telus 4G 10.1
I could restored back but it seems I used unbranded 3G stock rom
it works fine but network mode showing CDMA not HASP+ as expected from 4G
so it behave as 3G not 4G
if anyone can post canadian stock rom or even a backup that would help me to bring back to normal
don't have the original firmware for my Rogers Tab. They are labelled 4G in Canada but that is actually 3g+ (there is a nice wikipedia discussion you can look up) and the Rogers model at least, will only run on 3G firmware not the LTE versions you can access -- the bootloader on mine has KG8 as its firmware, you can download that from sammobile if you want to restore your system or you can download the latest 3.1 firmware Ki2 here on xda or through check fus. The most recent firmware is 3,2 and there is a stock KJ6 version and a custom version Overcome 2.0.0 available.
The 3.2 based roms are significantly smoother,faster and without the launcher and browser lag sometimes evident with 3.1.
So, if its just to maximize your own use, I would suggest either stock or custom 3.2 firmware -- again, they will all show 3G as designation.
I already installed the KJ6 3.2 which runs very smooth with no problem
but I can see only CDMA or GSM
what you see in your network mode is it CDMA or HSAP as mentioned in user manual
and if I have a data plan up to 21 mb/sec do I can get this speed with this KJ6 rom
download network signal app from the market: it displays the signal our device is actually receiving on either wifi or 3G+: the device will support the speed, it whether or not you are in an area with that coverage
rogers will show umts
as wikipedia explains
UMTS supports maximum theoretical data transfer rates of 45 Mbit/s when HSPA+ is implemented in the network.[2] Users in deployed networks can expect a transfer rate of up to 384 kbit/s for R99 handsets, and 7.2 Mbit/s for HSDPA handsets in the downlink connection. These speeds are significantly faster than the 9.6 kbit/s of a single GSM error-corrected circuit switched data channel, multiple 9.6 kbit/s channels in HSCSD and 14.4 kbit/s for CDMAOne channels.
Since 2006, UMTS networks in many countries have been or are in the process of being upgraded with High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), sometimes known as 3.5G. Currently, HSDPA enables downlink transfer speeds of up to 21 Mbit/s. Work is also progressing on improving the uplink transfer speed with the High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA). Longer term, the 3GPP Long Term Evolution project plans to move UMTS to 4G speeds of 100 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s up, using a next generation air interface technology based upon Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing.
the last iteration is LTE which we can access using the 7500 version we have but not with the sim card we have
Howdy! I have a stock Canadian (Telus) Samsung 10.1 4G [GT-7500DTLSKH4]. If you'd care to provide explict instructions (for this Telus model) on how to root and backup rom, I can archive and forward. If you also have instructions to "unroot" said device, that would be greatly appreciated, too. Further, have you received the 3.2 update for this model as of yet? If you have, was it VIA WIFI or OTA? The reason I ask is that it informs me there are no updates available (I use WIFI only at this time).
Thanks in advance!

For Telus:
www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P7500D&r=-1#modelsa
Rogers, and Bell also at SamMobile Firmware page.
Telus is 3.1 (as is bell)
Rogers updated to 3.2 but has lots of rogers crap. ALSO note your telus sim with this firmware will pull the wrong apn, it'll get sp.telus.com and leave you with a HUGE data bill. SO if you use it make sure to change the APN before connecting to mobile data to isp.telus.com
Enjoy

As well I took the bell sim and used it in the Nexus S and accessed data so the sim seems fine. I know this might need to go to another thread but I thought maybe I should try flashing the bell rom? As well maybe I should just try a hard reset first? Any suggestions.
Thank you...
So it turns out some how it must have relocked... I used an app from the Marketplace that I linked to from XDA and unlocked it again... The original unlock was a code entry so I'm not sure why or if it should have relocked but I am back up and running now.
Sorry for the super late reply, I don't really monitor the threads.
Anyhow yes you can put any of the Canadian firmwares on your Rogers Tab. Or vs. No issues I've seen to date.
As for your second issue. A few months ago the same thing happened to one of my tablets it seemed to relock itself and would no longer accept the factory unlock code. I had to edit the nv file directly to fix that issue. And strangely enough another phone I had from Telus Samsung facinate 4G, did the exact same thing, and then another when that one was replaced by Samsung. On the facinate using a telus sim the phone would still ask for a unlock code. So something strange was happening. The phones were brand new, and never rooted, completely stock. The only thing I did was put in my kodoo sim and enter the unlock code.
So three devices in total did it.
No problems on the late reply. I ended up using an app by one of the xda members to edit the nv as you mentioned you had to do. I am actually very glad I purchased the app as it appears if you dont reverse it to check for firmware upgrades it is failing to connect.
In regards to the roms does anyone have any experience with one being better then the other? I am using a bell sim so was just curious if I should flash bell firmware.
Thank you for your reply.

The firmware has nothing to do with your sim... I am running a generic ics build on my rogers p7500r, rogers 3g+ stillbworks, I plug in my tmobile $2/day sim card and it just works.
Good luck, pershots daily ics builds work great and so does overcome!
