What OS Should i upgrade to ?

I have updated my frnd's spica from 1.6 to 2.1 a long time ago and i'm thinking of upgrading the android version.Which do you suggest, the
[Rom] [Spica] OMG v1.22.12.10 [Android 2.1] [Stable] [Customization Updated/Adding]
what is the diff betwen this one and one of the official early released eclairs ?
or
FROYO for SPICA (CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Spica-alpha8.3)
Is this Foryo stable and usable ? (my frnd does not know anything about these things)

Better install SpicagenMod- also Froyo, it's still not a final release but it's beeing worked on all the time

I suggest SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration. It's stable, nice and Silky Smooth

He made it
Go to samdroid.net, all downloads are there.
Expect similar bugs/problems as with SpicagenMod (it was used as base)

I have downloaded - SGM-froyo-BETA1_NextGen2.2a from samdroid,but there were no instructions about installation.I tried searching,but none were for this version. Can you post the procedure to update from android 2.1 (i think it is a official samsung early release).

Present Firmware
This is what i have in the spica presently.
FIRMWARE VERSION - 2.1 UPDATE-1
BASEBAND VERSION - I570EXXJD1
kERNEL VERSION - 2.6.29
Root @ SE-S601#2
BUILD NUMBER - ECLAIR.XXJH6
I have downloaded SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration from samdroid. Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to update the firmware ?

1. Make sure battery is charged
2. Root your phone- tutorial is here (samdroid.net)
3. Put SGM NextGen package on the root of SD card
4. Boot to recovery (vol down+call+end call simultaniously)
5. Choose Install zip from SD option, select SGM Next Gen package, press Home button when asked
6. Sit back and wait

HI
Hi
at the moment I'm running froyo 2.2 rom on my spica and to be honest I am not that impressed. its the samdroid mod, this 1 I think (not sure a guy rooted, etc for me)
SamdroidMod 2.0.1.alpha.8.3 - Froyo [AOSP] for i5700
so my Q is this, can I just put the rom you have supplied on my sd card then boot into recovery apply then hit home when prompted?, Do I have to hit "Wipe cache etc"? as this will be my first time applying a rom myself. Will I lose all my settings & apps etc?
does everything work l;like sound, bluetooth etc, all the important things I mean.
any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated

well,i installed the custom eclair long back on the spica upgrading it from 1.6 using ODIN softwere flasher. I guess if your phone is rooted,i guess you can just put it on ur SD and you have to erase cache and data as these are not upgrades to your version , but completely different versions.
Here is a new one from samdroid as well - http://forum.samdroid.net/f53/cyanogenmod-6-1-1-spica-alpha8-4-a-4716/
You can back up all your stuff with some softwares on the market... - Titanium Backup ★ root - Android app on AppBrain

The best for me is "Ultimate Spicaclair 1.5"

hello world , new note 10.1

Hello there guys nice to meet you :silly: , i ve neen with you for a while , reading some of your threads , but today i got my note 10.1 .
i have some questions though(i did some reasearch first )
1) how long for initial charge ? there is no indicator ,is it?
2) should i update jelly bean imediatly (through kies) i guess i will get a longer battery life , correct?
3)regarding rooting , i guess all guides are updated for rooting jellybean, right? or should i root on 4.0 and then update ?
i ve read that some methods increase binary number count wich will void my warranty ,
and some others won't.
So i would like to point me out some directions if possible . cheers !

So Mr. Trademarked Naturegod.
I don't think anyone will make that kind of decisions for you.
1. Charge it and you will see.
2. Some say so, others don't. Maybe a new ROM can max the battery life as well.
3. There is somewhere an app to decrease that back to zero.
4. You should read some more threads, write down your questions on paper and then search the forum first to find an answer.
5. Watch the registration video. I liked it.
edit: Oh, instead of writing down your questions on paper, use ure new note 10.1.

haha thank you very much , kind sir
btw i dont see any back up option on kies , correct?
any guide i follow here . on how to back up , will be updated ? or i should pay attention to some details?

I really do not know.
The first thing I have made was to install cwm via odin. Maybe an older one because the newest clockwork mod (touch) have some errors in graphic installations of some roms. So I installed a cwm that seemed to work on other notes too.
After that I installed via cwm (pay attention to bootmode) the root-zip and then a good ROM (or vice versa).
Now I can install anything I want. If I install that app to set the modification counter to zero, I can flash the original stock image back to the device and nothing ever happens. (Maybe other people tried and I forgot something.)
Via cwm you can backup. Otherwise you have to use an App like titanium backup.
Before you install any ROM or flash your device... you should install any app you want and you want to test. Play around and the best apps and things you install after a fresh rom flashing.
If you do it step by step, there isn't much you can do wrong. But still pay attention and read everything in those interesting threads. Sometimes the newest information isn't on first site.
Update to newest version, watch out for the exynos exploit (use search, but should be patched with newest samsung update) and maybe - eh, whatever. Use it like other noobs use a new tablet.
If you don't need the pen, maybe you should change to nexus 10 (?)
Normally, most member in here don't write that much. I do because I am new too. Read the Stickies in each thread. Should answer most questions.

[Q] Help (full official backup + root after)

Hi, ive tested alot of roms etc in the past but its a jungle of stuff to know... so the question is, i want a step by step guide how to do a full backup, so i can restore official (default) rom again... and after that i want to root and get full su privilegies and being able to run linux(backtrack) on my i9505... on older devices i never had problems, but with this one i dont get how to make a full backup.. please tell me step by step what programs i need, i will search for the threads and use the guides there for each step, but first i need to know what i need to complete this task..
1. backup (full)
2. root (full)
3. install backtrack
atm i run official 4.3 rom from samsung..
please close this thread after i got a answer
TY //DrBlaze

What you want is not possible. You can only make backups after you root. It is also not neccesary. Just root, flash do what you want.
If you want to revert to stock, just download the stock rom you are currently on and flash it.

Well. About that i know. But The only release i find for my country "sweden - vds" is modified by a different provider and brings more stock crap then normal... But Well. .If is not possible.. can u atleast till med The steps i asked for in correct steps and what tools u recomend ? I want linux to work.. atm i use stock
EDIT: also, i dont want to do it that way, i have a comfortable setup on my cell atm, the reason for root is Linux and
remove of bloatware... custom roms looks nice, feels nice but always got some issues with the hardware..

BUMP
i bump this thread in hope that i get help since i never got to an solution or got an proper answer... i completed the question in the post before this...
ty for helping // DrBlaze

why don't you update your kernel from 2.2 to 2.3? And I think 4.1.2rom is not fluency for our defy . if you have the kernel 2.3,you may update to kitcat~
update your phone . you need pay attention to the following list .
1.Use the software named RSD,the file is sbf ,sbf will change your bl,so, you need to know what's your phone bl;
2.you need to now what's your defy's lens,it's red or green;
3.you need a rom which is .zip some rom don't need to think about the kernel but someone discriminate.
o it's the first time I reply in English,if I say something wrong or you can't understand.please forgive it . haha I have a bad English. and I think I need someone to fix my grammer error。and when i speek english I don't know what I said above。。。
