Is this the Galaxy 3? - Galaxy 3 General

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.
Hit thanks button if I've helped you.

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

[INFO] Centralize Galaxy Tab P1000L/P1000N Development

Hi fellows,
For sure, more than 95% of ROM development at XDA is devoted to P1000 version (Euro/USA/... Galaxy Tab version). Unfortunately (or not...), Samsung released at Latin America two different versions of GT: P1000L and P1000N. My researches shown that theses version has different hardware from P1000 one, and the most important, IMO, is the touchscreen. Conclusion: when we try to use custom ROMs, we aren't able to even use it.
So, I have started this thread to centralize information regarding P1000L/P1000N. Please, if you have these devices and have already tried to use a custom ROM or Kernel, please post the information here. With this, we can verify what modifications we need to make to adapt XDA custom ROMs/Kernels to our GTs.
We have the following topics here on XDA about our devices:
Humberto's ROM and Kernel (Froyo)
Humberto have compiled a Froyo Kernel and ROM with many improvements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Humberto's Kernel (Gingerbread)
Humberto have modified the original, leaked P1000N gingerbread kernel to add Lagfix and gave us instructions how P1000L users can flash P1000N gingerbread version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224
My Gingerbread kernel
I have compiled a P1000L/N kernel for gingerbread after the source code release, adding many things like UV, OC, new governors, etc. To avoid mess with Humberto's thread, I decided to start a new one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274855
With the right kernels now, we can flash customs ROM like:
BOCA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172307
Overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990
CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857
OBS.: Always refer to P1000L/N Gingerbread thread from Humberto to verify which kernel you need to flash to use one of these ROMs!
Thanks!
I can provide the PDA, Modem and CSC Multi files to be flashed in Odin for P1000N from Claro provider if they're needed at all, only downside is that they're JJ1 not the JJ5 which they're currently shipping Tabs with. Honestly I don't see any difference between the versions, but there should be some.
Well, apparently we got a new kernel for GT-P1000L deceives that camera and TV tuner is fully working and has interesting capabilities, like 1.4GHz overclocking! Thanks to @humberos. More info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Additionally, my Vivo GT has received an update through Kies and now my ROM version is P1000LVJJMA, which I don't know yet if this kernel is compatible. I have contact @humberos and we will try to find out.

Currently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224 is a Gingerbread Kernel that can run a version of CM7.
I can not attest to validity of the ROM, as I don't have a latin version, but yeah... There it is.

Are you on stock rom ? I upgraded my p1000n to gingerbread overcome and feel that the battery last less than with froyo.

I see a lot of P1000CWLZTO being offered in online shops in Brazil.
Would that be a third version: "P1000C"?
What are the differences between the L, N and C versions?
I do like to have the digital TV. Actually, is it just 1seg? Does it show 16:9 broadcasts correctly (soccer!)?
Thanks!
Hi! I just got a gt-P1000n unlocked tablet from Chile. I leave in Canada.
Froyo 2.2, baseband P1000NUBJM2.
This is my first expeeience with android, i come from wm.
I've got a lot to learn.
After many unsuccessful attempts with z4root, i did root my tab with oneclickroot.
I have read these latin tabs are different than others. How?
Lesser quality?
I can't find any specs comparaison on the web.
Thanks

Not at all... just a little different in hardware. I had that firmware on my P1000N. Maybe if you check on the small print on the back of your tab, you should see P1000N... let us know.
Basically we have a few different Tab hardwares. The P1000, Euro US and etc, both GSM and CDMA versions. Latin versions P1000L / N (and maybe C as commented above). P1000L and N are the same, except P1000N does NOT have TV, P1000L has TV, 1seg like in Brazil. There is also another different hardware, the Tab with wifi only (no SIM chip).
Since P1000 is the most commonly used one, there is a lot more development going on for it... but luckyly we have HumberOS for the salvation of our latin version tabs. Just Google "xda humberos" to find his posts.
Cheers.
Yes i have the 1000N.
I read here it is difficult to flash an gingerbread orovercome rom!?!?
Only Hubertos roms are working, isn't it?
Thanks

You can flash Gingerbread from Samsung. If you want to flash anything customized, like Overcome rom, you need to do it through humberos kernel, made for our latin tabs.

If i flash Gbread from Samsung update will i lose root?
If so, can it easely be rooted again?
Is overcome stable and a real improvement over gingerbread?
Thanks for your time

Yes, you loose root. Then you can just flash humberos' cf-root or voodoo lagfix kernel to get root back. Overcome is very good and stable. Just remember to replace the zImage file inside Overcome's zip file with HumberOS' kernel voodoo lagfix.

Obrigado!
Ok, i am tempted to try Overcome.
Do you suggest me to read anything else than [Jun27][GSM][Kernel][Gingerbread][P1000L/N]?

That's it. Read the last page of the thread. rlkalves just flashed Gingerbread.
Always use original USB cable from Samsung for flashing. Don't use USB HUBs. Make sure you have a good tight USB port, make sure your Windows and USB Drivers are all 100% and close all software to run ODIN or Heimdall ALONE.
i got a p1000n from comcel (colombian provider) and i flashed overcome, and is pretty awesome, maybe if you want i can make you a guide
Hey AlRoger, did you get any success installing a custom rom on our brazilian tab without loosing the TV?

Thanks alroger for all help provided.
I did install Overcome Hermes but overlooked the fact that there is still not usb connection to pc. Al sd cards and browse.though from kies i am able to get into internal and external
What is the procedure to go to another gb rom like Jupiter?
Is it a matter of repackaging the Jupiter's zip with latest zImage from first post and install via sd card with Recovery Cwm mode?
Restart from begining with stock Froyo?
Wait for Humberto to work on it?
For CM7?
From hermes do i directly
Download CM7 Beta
Uncompress .zip file and replace zImage.
Use Heimdall to flash it.

Vodafone Smart Mini (V875).. Very Decent devices, not known

Hello everyone,
So basically I own a very nice phone with decent specifications but not many people know it, so I decided to come here and Ask
First of all, it's the Vodafone Smart mini, aka. TCT Vodafone V875, It has 3.5" HVGA screen, resolution 320x480, MTK 6575 1ghz single core cpu and a PowerVR gpu which gives amazing performance
So, I've been looking all over internet for a custom rom for it, I was able to root it using the amazing Framaroot and I got custom recovery from smartmini.wordpress.com, that website has a custom rom stock based for it but that's not what I'm looking for
I'm looking for something like AOKP or CM or Paranoid for my device, that gives me an android version higher than 4.1.1 since that's what the device comes with
What I'm asking for is a custom rom with android version 4.1.2+ that is the same as CM or any other famous roms so if there is or if there are people working on one(s) please give me link and thank you
Also a little link to help devs looking forward to develop a rom for the device : http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/VF875_20130619.tar.xz/download
It's the device's source code
i too would like this.
Good luck
It actually seems more responsive than my droid4.

Got Note 2 - Now I am lost!

Hi, I got the xiaomi Note 2. looks nice but almost everyapp and text in app is in chinese even though I have selected english as the default language.
Details are: Android Version: 5.0.2.LRX22G
MIUI Version: MIUI 6.7.10.0(LHMCNCH) I Stable
Baseband: MOLY.LR9.W1423.MD.LWTG.MP.V24.P25
Kernel version: 3.10.61+55c995f4-9abe2-d27c84d7
Build No: LRX22G
All system settings up to date - First thing I did was update software but same language thing.
From forums, If I understand correctly, I may have received the 'chinese' Version?
I wanna Root my device - coz you gotta have root.
Install an english rom and get rid of bloatware. I want max Google apps compatibility.
Zero or Near zero bugs.
avoid slowing my device, like degradation on this rom, : http://en.miui.com/thread-167703-1-1.html
(Base score is around 40k in antutu and this guy's rom seems to clock 21k)
But when I visit en.miui.com I get really confused I have only used samsung before and last custom rom I used was like 5 years ago.
Could you please recommend a good Rom that would fit the bill and a ultra noob tutorial for that?
Ple
Hi.
Thats a rom for another phone. Please look at Antutu results. 1280x720 etc.
Gpu score in Antutu would be around 9500 if it runs as it should.
Read the other thread you started and you will find answer. "Redmi Note 2 - How was your experience?"
Thanks
Knievel
go here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-9-24.28459/
follow the instructions.
you need the ROM for HERMES
Thanks, I am downloading the Hermes one:

CAN someone suggest me the most appropriate Android Version (with OTA upd.) for tegra

I bought this amazing device a few weeks ago. It came with lollipop 5.1 and I was happy with it. I started playing modern combat 5 and saw that after 10-15 min, it started to heat up. Considering this a small issue I didn't thought for the replacement of the product.
Then I searched for few custom rom threads on the net. I , thereafter, realized that I should downgrade to 4.4. The site from which I downloaded rom is rootjunkys.dl.com , most of you guys would probably have heard of it.
The rom is all good but sometime it lags when I use Chrome or UC browser. Pls help me with this by suggesting me the most preferable rom/android ver. (with link if possible).
Also can someone tell me when are we getting marshmallow or cyanogenmod or any custom rom?
I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS HELP.

however, this is gonna take a while until its finished / stable enough for everyday usage....

Thnx for the reply.... i think its download link is yet to be given .
I though 4.3 worked the best, way too many patches for 4.4. Currently waiting for the mentioned CM12.1 port.

Newbie here + require a fast updated rom to flash??

Hi all,
I have not been here in yonks but I know this forum is always helpful. I am trying to flash a slim updated rom on my old android galaxy note. Out of no where, so many of my apps on that phone stopped working and it kept saying, this device is not compatible etc. I tried all the tricks and still a lot of apps will not work.
I have Odin pro installed on the phone but I forgot how to use it lol so may require direct instructions. But can someone recommend a fast but small in size build to flash which is updated. It says on my galaxy note that it’s running 4.1.2 which is jelly bean. If I recall it’s probably a custom rom but it’s been so long.
Thanks I advance if anyone can help me with instructions, I know it’s easy to do, but it’s been ages.
Cheers [emoji106][emoji106]
