Hi guys,
I just got an Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am pretty new to this Android stuff so please bear with me if I've asked simple or stupid questions
I'm also no expert on phones as well.
Right now, I've been advised to get an custom ROM that's based on pure CM with DroidWall installed after doing it.
Now, I'm trying to learn how to do it and I have no idea where to look at or do this.
Can you please give me some tips and links that will guide me to do this? All I'm looking for is to increase the battery life while still connected to WiFi/3G to use Facebook, Instagram, Google Play, and the games etc.
Thanks for your time to help this noob
Well, if you're totally new to android, you're early with rooting. I don't understand why you were and who advice you to use droid wall. It's just an app that isn't even needed. You should root your device with CF root, then you're able to flash the ROM you like. BTW, is it so hard to Google for that so that you have to create a thread? I doubt.
As dark knight said it's not very difficult to search on google.
It's very easy to root ur phone and if don't understand what you are doing sometimes it's normal but i don't think that root a phone and flash a rom is really hard, everything is wrote.
Well, googling it is easy but the thing is for me is that I'm not too sure which one I should get. I wanted to get some tips and advices on which I should get because I'm new to this thing. I know it may be stupid question to ask but yeah. Cheers.
Lol i understand, there is lots of ways to root ur i9000 like using an app like z4root or root it with a computer with softwares, try z4root it's very easy to do but it doesn't always work

Its easy to install a GB 2.3.6 ...JVU as an example, then from keypad make a factory format ( star 2767 star 3855 # ) and will have a clean and new Android. Next step, root with Odin using Semaphore 2.5.0....
If you want one of the best ICS's...give it a try to RemICS UX 1.3.1....will be surprised.
Good luck.
you could use z4root,Universal Androot

All : I rooted my Phone ! And installed a Super Clean Mod..
I really dont see the point of Mods which just remove bloatwares. I was expecting Froyo when I modded.
Reasons
1. I wanted Skype
2. I wanted Flash
Is there any good way to establish the 2 apps which I need ? Is there a Froyo custom ROM for Fascinate at all ?
Thanks In advance

Sorry to disappoint you but I would have done my homework on the subject first.
That said, Skype is in the market.

If you spent 3 seconds searching, you could have answered this yourself, and you also should have read the sticky before posting too...
^^There's a search button for a reason. And you're supposed to read stickies before posting. At least this wasn't posted in the development section.

hi apologies for nooby title but it would be great to use this thread for people new to rooting
ive finally rooted my phone and i have xrecovery and busybox with wifi tether what other apps are great on a rooted phone also what benefits are there to adding a custom rom to an x8 i heard a new rom equals flash but with the x8 arm6 chip its not possible,i know that a new rom offers speed, is that it.
also is there n easy way to add app 2 sd feature because theres a thread on how to do this by editing an ini file which sounds dodgy
Hello
Well,now when you're rooted do you have access to the whole phone..
You can download Set Cpu to be able to set your Cpu to handle like you want..
About the ROM are they 3(?) stable ones out and you can find those in the X8 Development Section with good instructions on how to install
I'm currently using Rachts 2.3.3 Cm7 Rc4 and I'm loving it except for the no camera so all QR codes are nothing to have right now
Just remember to be carefull! You can brick your phone!
I've done it 3 times and you can find here what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
thanx.rose i have complete root access to phone .noticed you bricked your phone 3 times lol that happened to me after having my phone two days thats why i like rooting now because i can undo it ,well most of it .what features does the 3 stable roms offer.
I personally think the minicm or rachts froyo are having the most features bus I'm not sure..
There's an own topic just about that here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019146
Take a look there and you'll also found other topics just about it
The 2.3.3 ROM:s are really going forward so take a look those also
Thanks again risen. I think ill try yachts Rom I think it has app2sd support
All new custom ROM for x8 suppotts native apps2sd. Just required rooted and xrecovery. Always backup your system and sd card before applying customs to your phone. Have fun

So..im very new to this whole "custom roms" scenario, ive read about CM7, and others, but am still quite confused as to what they are, how to install, or if theres even a custom rom out for the xperia play...could someone please help me understand exactly what a custom rom is, and how to install on my xperia play, thanks so much would really mean a lot to me - Kes

Bit harsh...you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Then download the CM7 from the development section and run the script. It's that simple!

Dear friends and DEV
I have been very surprised to observe that after 3 days 2.3.3 was not rooted
after I asked myself why this did not happen in 1-2 days as for the previous update ????
the answer is simple and comes with another question
who really needs the root directly from the stock room ?????
DEVS started having already pre-rooted the custum roms have no advantage to open the way also to amatorial people
Conclusion .... we will wait a lot of time before the direct rooting of 2.3.3.
Ptrofessional DEVS at the moment are not really interested in this because they can do their job without it and probably they like also to be more in control ....
Do you agree ??????
Yes it is probably true, if i had known this before i would install prerooted, but i just don't have no time to do the whole proces going back to eclair and than installing prerooted.... For now, i am waiting for the direct root.
I asked similar question before.
Finally I took a plunge and downgrade to 2.1 and root and install xrecovery with flashtool, and install 2.3 rooted Rome through recovery.
Here use this root app:

Then you should certainly use Wolfbreak's GB ROM
It really is very easy
Just flash his ROM first and then the .ftf bundle using flashtool
No need of going back to 2.1 eclair
This simple will never come out.
It is same as SE ARC 2.3.3 update, as soon as SE ARC 2.3.3 update release. No one can come up direct root.
Same for SE X10i 2.3.3 update.
cheers
Sorry .... may be I was not clear
I am NOT talking about 'to be able to do it' ( I did it many times since 1.6)
I am INSTEAD talking abaut 'I want to do it'........
For personal reasons I would like (if available thanks to the work of the DEV) to have the total stability of the stock room without few useless applications and with a nice theme
I m going where I cannot use computers for a while and I cannot update from bugs that with all due respect are unavoidable with custum roms
Of course not being able to perform the root by myself I do not complain, I accept the current situation and I will be in any case grateful to the DEVs
Mine was only an ANALYSIS of the current situation

Okay ,
Then u can search for reviews on some custom ROMs
From reliable devs like :
Erickwill , Wolfbreak , kxhawkins and many more
Im having troubles with games.. Waiting on the stock release from my company...
This is the why could be nice to be able to root it by ourselves...

I thanked you for answering
Unfortunately after 1 year of using custum roms I am fully aware of the reality ....
I have been using for long time Wolfbreaks ROMs for example after MIUI (the guy that is not anymore in this forum ... etc etc)
They are fast nice and beaufiful and I apreciate the work done but there is always a little bug that will came out soon or later ....
That is OK I am not complaining .... very quickly the DEV usually fix it
The only thing for me is that I am going abroad and I cannot use the computer for a while ... meantime I need the phone
I September I will try all the ROM and I am sure that I will enjoy their excellent performance

Okay ,

I was just saying that if u require root that much then why don't u use one of the pre rooted ones
Just a barebones....

Yes but only if they r not buggy
Any ways have fun with your x10
After September.

@ spaarc
lets's put in this way
I would not have any problem in using the current method for rooting flashing back to 2.1
if a simple original and complete 2.3.3 rooted rom was available
But no dev has interest in creating one
BTW I am not able to download the wolf room (just for safety in the case I change my mind) ... mediafire is not working ... someone knows about a mirror ?

Then just follow my instructions
Get azuzu kitchen
Then take a pure nandroid backup of your gingerbread ROM
Extract and add Su permissions
Repack as system.img
And do a advanced restore
Should help

Hi all
I am trying to install ICS on my Verizon original Galaxy Tab. I have rooted it. and it's running galaxy cubed. (actually a friend did this so i don't know exactly what he did) we found several different roms for ICS but none worked.
Does anyone have any idea? or know how to do this?
oops
oh yeah i have cmw 2 running. i think i need a newer version of this. any idea where i can find that? i am really new at this! thanks for any help
Good to see more users on here with sch-i800. I have 2 of them one i put cm9.1 and the other is having some issues which i am trying to resolve.You can get cm9.1 stable you can get it from http://get.cm. The Verizon tab it the p1c also download the gapps from http://goo.im/gapps. you will need these 2 files to get things working properly with ics on your verizon galaxy tab. You need CMW 5 or better to flash it. i suggest following this guide to get to cm9 http://geekniggle.blogspot.com/2011/12/loading-ice-cream-sandwich-on-verizon.html
if you have any futher questions please feel free to ask.
thanks
Thanks! I have ICS up and running and love it so far. However the TV out doesnt recognize the cable any more. Do you know a way to resolve this or is it the bug i have to deal with?
thanks again for your help!
ok.. So I am asking... lol
Let me start off by saying I am extremely new to this whole process, but I do have a SCH-I800 and I would like to see about updating it. and I noticed on the post you had a link to an blog posting on a guide to do this, but that link doesn't seem to work. Any chance I could get that link from you? I am not sure what all the abbreviations are listed below (CMW5, p1c, etc). Does this "guide" also tell you what you need to download to make this work?
Thanks for helping a Newbie out...
I have had the tab since May 2011 and have ran every Rom imaginable. I never could get the video out to work on any cyanogenmod roms. I am back to running 2.3.4 rooted since it seems to run smoother and everything works.
