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

[S+][ROM/Firmware] GB 2.3.6 - 3 Files - rooted I9000XXJVU by Stock+

Here is a latest ROM I9000XXJVU, rooted by Stock+ Team!
3 file ROM Type: 3 Files for flashing with ODIN (with PIT's & Re-partition) ~180MB
Kernel: I9000XXJVU Rooted (by Grooby)
3 file ROM Link: http://hotfile.com/dl/140338247/ef4c33c/3file_PDA_I9000XXJVU_CSC_XXJVU_MODEM_I9000XXJVU_ROOTED_stock.zip.html (by $omator)
NO MIRRORS PLEASE!
Just to make sure (and to avoid FC), please do clean cache and full wipe/factory reset after and prior to flashing.
(Remember that factory reset deletes all user installed apps!)
Remember to connect your phone to pc and run "RunMe.bat" after flashing, to copy all necessary binaries and profit with full ROOT!
Enjoy!

Need Help
Hi,
I installed your firmware.
Problems:
1)While using bluetooth handsfree, after the call ends, iam getting FC error - process.com.android.phone has stopped...
2)2/3 times the phone hangs.Need to take battery out.
3)2/3 times screen goes black,hangs and rebooted.
Solution Tried:
Installed FC fix for XXJVU. Now the phone FC problem didn't come.
But the battery drains very very fast.
Pls help me with a solution.
Thanks.

plz remove the S+ prefix in the name of the thread coz it's confusing, an S+ (i9001) member might flash it and brick his device.

ICS CM9 IS still in (early) development and You expect it to be perfectly working? LOL Only thing not working there for me are MMS so looks like u flashed in wrong way? I recorded video just last night,USB works fine(u need diffrent drivers) and YT does the job. Anyway YES this one is stock+root as title says. 3 files to flash with ODIN

Looking at your phone model, you are in the wrong forum.
This is only for GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S
Yours is GT-I9100, which is Galaxy S2
So please check it on Galaxy S2 area.

question about my phone, Thanks for answering.

Hi everyone,. I have sony ericsson xperia x10 and has the following information:
baseband: 2.1.71.
kernel version: 2.6.29.00054-g5f01537 [email protected] #1.
Build # 1.9.16 (MIUI).
Do you think there's some upgrade I can do to the phone from the point of the information above? Thanks. (please provide me with information not with links only)

If you have OS version 2.3.3 ; which I guess, than no.
You could use kany from loads from custom ROMs instead

Your MiUI version is old, you should flash one of the new roms.

Oh, sorry overlooked that it is MIUI...

[Q] FROM SHADOW 134 to CM9

i dont know which threads to follow guys
i bought a moto defy with red lens (brayer) since January and when i got home
was very xcited to customize it so came to xda developers and got started (on the day of purchase) ...
downloaded superoneclick and some bits and pieces and flashed my phone...
well at first flash it stoped working
this is what happen when i don't read... stupid me
eventually i got it working back after 2 long struggling days ...
i flashed it with shadow 134 i think .. and after i got it working, i never tried anything else i was fed up...
But now i want to sort my defy out again...
This is my device info:
System version: 45.0.10.MB526.Retail.en.GB
android vers: 2.3.4
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.5F.00
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-10
so by all this info, i am able to understand that i have a fixed sbf which is CG6 (some1 corect me if i am wrong)
On top of that i have: (SUPERUSER, DEFY 2NDINIT 2.0, SYSTEM RECOVERY) installed on my defy
its a bit scary for me to go and flash it without any advice like before and get stuck again
so if any1 has any idea how can i move up to CM9 without having lots of trouble
i agree i can have a bit of trouble but not to much..
theres so many threads to follow and am not able to choose which one
Any Defy Xpert arround who may help
Thanks for Reading my lengthy post

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。。。

THX for the reply
