You just need to know that it's not a 9000 and it's a 9003. The rest is always written on the thread

First thing take a deep breath. Just read through the forum and you will learn how to do it. It took me some time before i figured out how to flash roms.
About your bluetooth, go to bluetooth settings and check "Discoverable"

There's not much for flashing stuff for the I9003. There are millions of things to flash for the I9000 lol

Just tell me one thing...does super one click ROOT method works for so called GT-I9003??

This is a beautiful but seriously loaded phone.Do not be in a tearing hurry to root,flash all sorts of ROMs etc.Use it for a few days in its virgin state,let it stabilise but do read through all these forums taking care you are reading about 9003,make notes and then go for practicals.Otherwise,you might just end up posting SOS messages on trouble-shooting which is really not necessary since the list of things you have set out to do is not some rocket science but common sense+knowledge that can first come only through reading.
Moreover,there is pleasure in figuring things out yourself.
Best wishes.

1. yes, gingerbread is out but not yet for asia. you can either get other regions's gingerbread and flash it to you phone. take note, warranty's void after flashing.
2. dockbar icon depends on ur launcher. if you are on touchwiz, you have to either apply a theme (i guess, coz i havent used touchwiz).
3. if you wan sg2 apks, search forums for which apps you wan. if you really wan sgs2 so much, then you can either get apply a custom rom which is using sgs2 apps.
4. if u are on froyo, get speedmod kernel, voodoo or etc's kernel which has built in root functions.
5. discoverable must be ticked in settings or ur pc wont be able to see you for the 1st time.

How is that not answering the question? Your original question is if kenia lets OP take the credit for the port. OP's answer is that he is not taking credit, and he clearly gives kenia credit in the first post of this thread. /facepalm
Obvious troll is obvious.

You say in the instructions you can come straight from CM/MIUI, which is what he is asking.
Honestly, it would be a lot easier for them to just download the latest (or just any) CM nightly, and then install this over it. Less downloads, no Odin, just 2 installs and you're set.

[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

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

How To Update From GB to ICS For Noobs

There are some people here who need to manually update their Note from GB to ICS and need a simple guide suitable for noobs. Here is a link to a site which has simple guides for doing that using PC Odin and Mobile Odin.
http://www.android.gs/update-samsun...cial-ice-cream-sandwich-lpy-with-mobile-odin/
Please use the THANKS button if you find this helpful.

Did you even read the PSA ????????????????????????????

We won't use the thanks button this time round.

Oh dear, it seems I have boobed in my attempt to be helpful. If so then I ask for my thread to be closed.

I understand the PSA is warning against flashing with the official LPY update from Samsung. I don't think Samsung have withdrawn the update or acknowledged any risk.

If your kid gets hit by a ferrari i am sure that ferrari will not withdraw their car, nor admit that they are dangerous..
But just ignore all the warnings and be a happy camper

The battery savings are worth the risk for me. But that's just me.

It would appear that the advice from xda-developers is that it is safe to flash the official Samsung German LPY update and a guide is provided here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-galaxy-note/
Perhaps someone could explain why there appears to be a conflict between the PSA and the xda-developers.

Maybe because that article is ten days old ???
And considering all the work done this week,
10 days is like a man's life....

I recommend the ParanoidAndroid because it's on a safe kernel. I found a guide on the same website you provided.

How the hell do you translate that into "safe to flash" - Both of the last two articles make references to the dangers of Samsung ICS kernels.

[MINI GUIDE] Phone Vocabulary - x8 Specific

This thread is being created to explain, in short, a few common phone 'terms.' Now although there are many threads explaining the same thing they are 'thicker' and written differently. A different guide will help a different person. I think it is valid that there is more than one explanation of the same thing. If you have ANY suggestions, please leave them in post form below. I have explained this relative to the Xperia x8 and this is why it is in our territory.
Remember that this is a MINI guide. So not every term in the android language will be explained. For a more complicated guide see HERE or on the everything x8 w8 thread here. Both guides are different.
Anyway Here is a mini guide about phone terms:
A ROM stands for Read Only Memory, ususally on this site referring to the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored. It's like an operating system. (OS) When people say they're flashing a new ROM, it usually means they are installing a new 'operating system'. A custom rom may have new features different to the STOCK rom.
The term Stock usually means the version of something installed by the manufacturer. Or in other words, the stuff already on that thing.
An .APK is a Package on Android. Usually you will meet these when installing apps on your phone. This is, simply put, just a file extension, like .exe on windows.
Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).
A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.
Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.
Unlocking your BootLoader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(make it useless like a brick) This is why I did not do it until a few weeks ago - because I was scared. If you do however find yourself bricked, look to my guide no further than HERE.
You flash kernels with Flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked BootLoader to do this.
If I was to recommend a rom, I would say MiniCyanogenmod (CM for short). The developer, nAa, focuses on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version. Check out my review on the stable ever wonderful MiniCM9 HERE.
Links to Flashtool, ROMS and other things mentioned will be in my other guides hyperlinked in the article.
Please be generous with the 'Thanks' if you appreciate my effort.
Special Thanks to I Am Nice for his consistent helpful feedback

Pls don't disrespect chris. I can tell you he knows what he's saying (he didn't get to become RT for nothing).
I admire your efforts, but please add more definitions. For example: you didn't really explain what "bootloader" means. And like chris has said, it's already explained (in morr detail) in another thread. Hopefully you'll add more jargons in the near future. Good job though. :beer:
