You know, that has been asked and mentioned like a dozen times here already, you could have just checked any of the thread with similar title as yours..
But I'll answer then: install "iconiaroot.apk", tap on "Root." You're rooted.

thanks I appreciate it

any ROM suggestions?

The stock rom that came on your tab.the custom Rom each have great benefits over the stock.but they also bring additional issues .I truely think the developed are doing a awesome job.just a very young is and no love from Acer or google
Backup backup backup

I'd suggest you try Taboonay's ROM .. I switched to it from Virtuous Galaxy 10.1 yesterday and I am definitely enjoying it.. Also, chose a nice kernel to go along with it.. I'm using the Honey Villain kernel from Richardtrip.

thanks :

All the roms on the development section read the posts to see what you want .
Rom Kitchin would be my recommend
and tell me is it possible to return back to original firmware if i'm not satisfied with downloaded one?
NOT unless you save your original rom .
However you can get back to Stock Samsung rom that's the firmware before its been customized by the phone network .

Seriously dude, if you can’t give an answer, you are allowed to not post anything and waist more space. If you really feel you need to say something, direct the user, or do something useful.
Darkys rom is probably the best - at least the one I enjoy most.
Ps. Even though your question borders on being General, if you want to ask ROM related question please do so in the "Galaxy S I9000 Q&A", before someone die.
thanks JJEgan and everyone for support, i'll try some roms!

Well flashing a custom rom means to put another rom in your phone which is better and faster than the original stock 2.1 or 2.2 roms!! many bugs are removed in the custom roms!!

[Q] Which Custom ROM is better ?

Hi Guys,
I am new to Android world and recently jump into Custom ROM things.
In one of the post, I've found there are lots of Custom ROMs available.
Now from them, how can i decide which on is good for my device(Samsung Galaxy 3-I5801).
Please help.
U can try your choice of ROM if u want...just download 2-3 ROMs and then select which u feel is the best

That was a joke, right? Are you saying that some ROMs that just came out (but still most of them are better than, lets say indroid OR any other ROM) are not as good because they dont have that many views? Views are same as nothing... You can get +10000 views easily with cheating (like stealing someones work)
@OP go check the FAQ thread, its the first thread in general section and there is a best custom ROM thread!
My idea was not to insult anyone, but if i did then please feel free to PM me and we can sort it out

Yes. That s what everone is saying. I first heard this news from Dharam on Facebook.

what..? when and y..?
being new i would suggest you too to read the posts for new users then you would understand what you want....every ROM will have a few things different than others, and you will seldom have one ROM for all <atleast as of now>....i myself have 7 ROMs now, but cant pick one to be best. I would strongly suggest you to install G3Mod kernel which gives u functionality of multiboot, then you can have system.img of various ROMs and u can switch between them and decide which one suits u most. everyone is here to help you in future incase u need
welcome to G3 community
none!
each rom is filled with a lot of props,customizations....
and all this will result in force closes,battery drain etc....custom kernel is also a major culprit....you will eventually get irritated
get JPM and customize it yourself
The ROM that works the best for me (again, for me), is GreenMods POX 1.5, removing the default MIUI like launcher and TW launcher and installing LauncherPro. Is light, fast, stable and it doesn't come filled with much stuff.
If I was you I'd give it a try

[ANSWERS THREAD] Ask any questions here!

Hi everyone, since I am probably one of the last active Gen8 device owners here on the forum and I enjoy helping people setup their Gen8 devices or just answer random questions related to them I decided to make this thread.
So anyone please if you have any questions ask them here as it will be easier for me to see them and (try to) answer them in a timely manner as I will be subscribed to this thread!
Thanks and hope this will make it easier to help the people out there that might still own one of these devices and is in wondering what to do next.

Sorry for the late response, I was in the middle of the exams re-take week so although I saw this I could not answer.
So I will do my best to help you but what do you actually want to do, are you asking how to install a newer android version (2.3.x or 4.0.x) or how to re-install the stock firmware or how to install an alternative OS (debian linux)?
Hello, same problem here , i want to install a new ROM(?) for my Archos101 but i don't know which one i have to choose , and i'm not really good in english , so if you can help me out
I just want a newest and fastest version than my 2.2.1

Well you can get a newer version but it will surely not be faster than 2.2, you could install OpenAOS Degu (android 2.3) or Cyanobiz (android 4.0) depending what version of android you want, I can help out if you tell me which one you want to install.
Also if you want to improve the performance of android 2.2 I would recommend installing one of the root kernels (either the OpenAOS boot menu one or Chulri's kernel) and then use the app called Milstone Overclock (I found it somewhere here on XDA, I can give a link) and set the CPU at 1.2Ghz.
You could also go multiboot using Kboot (which I actually need to re-upload and will do that now) so you can have newer android version(s) and stock working better at the same time. For root I would actually recommend Chulri's kernel instead of the OpenAOS one, it seems to work better.

I do not have that device but I don't even see a 50c Neon on their product range on the .com site, only a 50c Platinum and a 50 Neon, for the 50 Neon there is this MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-archos-50-neon-t3210324 but otherwise you are out of luck I am afraid.
Loool just search it in google i am sure you will find it !
Is there any ported rom or any thing else for my phone ?
Thanks in advance :good:

Nope, except that MIUI for that 50 Neon I can not find anything else so I'm afraid you are out of luck.
