Is this the Galaxy 3?

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

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。。。

For Mediatek Devices it is pretty easy because if you manage to build a ROM for a device that has its software made by the same company who did the same software for another device (i hope this sentence is clear), then you can build a ROM for both devices with just some minor changes.

I'll just reply here for the last time, it is OT, but still useful for development
When there is no kernel source code, i use the prebuilt kernel image (included with the Stock ROM), while everything else gets compiled (excluding proprietary files required to handle the hardware).

... the rom - download (mega) is it working with the 4gb version too? great job so far...

i have tried that rom, it does not work for 4gb version, doogee logo stuck on the screen
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------
i bought phone from banggood came with offical outdated software, so i will never get update.the only rom with update is 20170621. the rom that we have here 6gb version,hope someone will provide rom 20170621 for 4gb version.
many thanks

I'm also wondering about ROMs for the 4gb version of the phone? Have they updated that to the same level as the 6gb ROM? I thought the specs were identical apart from the extra 2gb of memory??

Can you do a rom for 4gb Version?

"Can you do" doesn't exist yet.
It is only the Stock ROM provided by DOOGEE directly, not something I made. You have to ask DOOGEE if you want other variants, then provide me the link.

Ah okay, i thought this was the pure stock Android Rom without Doogee "bloat".... Do you think there will be a lineage Version in future?

It does, I have flashed it on my own MIX.

How did you flash it with SP Flash Tools?
When i connect and try it says BROM ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL(0xC0060003)
What does it mean.
I installed drivers for MT67xx and latest SP Flash Tool
I have my phone turned off and when i connect (after clicking download in SP Flash Tool) it says the error.

Hi guys, i'm pretty novice about all of this and i dont speak english a lot, i have a problem with my new DOOGEE MIX (6gb i think), i tried to uninstall the "DOOGEE OS" many times but i failed all time. There is a cat/gameboy on my screen and i cant remove them, maybe i can find an issue here. Thank a lot in advance and have a good day !

Welcome new member.
From searching xda.....
[is there a way i could update it to a more later version?]
- No apparent method, no.
[understand if they have discontinued updates , but is there any custom firmware or some kind of latest firmware that is compatible to run it?]
- No apparent firmware or options, so no.
[Or am i stuck with this forever?]
-Yes unless replacing it with one that has firmware that meets your needs.

No worries, you're welcome, anytime - bub-bye
