I9100G users Unite!

Introduction
I've had my I9100G for more than a week now and to date there's no hint of anyone working on a custom ROM or mod for it. I guess we'll have to resign ourselves to the fact that it's not really a popular model for the regular devs and if we want to get some mods or custom roms on our phones, we have to do it ourselves. I'm currently working on customising my phone, but since I have a day job and little actual experience in Android, it's going to take some time before I can put anything out. So I'm inviting fellow I9100G users to join me in the effort to get some mods developed for the I9100G.
Kernel
Firstly, the kernel. AFAIK, there are two available kernels so far for the I9100G - KH4 (Android 2.3.4) and KI1 (Android 2.3.5). There are rooted versions for both, but as of now only the KH4 one has CWM recovery. In addition, Samsung has released the source code for the KH4, but I'm yet to find the source code for the KI1. I'l like to develop for the KI1, but without a source code and CWM recovery for the kernel, efforts are limited. So I appeal to anyone who knows where we can get the source code for KI1 or can help get CWM on the KI1, please respond!
Mods
So far I've deodexed my phone running on KI1 and managed to get the battery percentage mod on it using the UOT. That one's pretty simple. This weekend I hope to try some more mods like the Advance Power Menu, for one. Once I get that done, I'll share on xda. Appreciate suggestions on what mod we can apply that's useful, but too complicated. If anyone manage to produce mods for your I9100G, appreciate if you could share.
Hopefully once we have a few mods done for the I9100G, we can consolidate them into a custom ROM for our phone.
Let's work together to make our phone better!

I would like to join with little experience on android .
I understand our target is to make custom Rom for the g model, but do you think its we can make it possible to flash other i9100 custom roms with sgx 540 processor ?
Can we have a list of things to start with to acheive that?
Btw, i tried deodexeding and i didn't success. Any advice on this .
Thanks

Hi ss219100g,
We can't flash I9100 custom ROMs into the I9100G. I tried flashing VillainRom onto mine, but I couldn't make it work. Needs someone with more knowledge and experience, I suppose. All I can try right now is try to apply various modes I pick up from xda onto my phone.
So far I've managed to apply the Battery percentage and Advanced Power Menu mods. I'll share them later today. I'm still looking around for the next thing to try. Any suggestions?
For deodexing, I used xUltimate. The link's here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
Basically, I copied the contents of /system/app and /system/framework to \origi_frame\ and \origi_app\, run the tool, then copied the results back onto the phone. Remember to delete the *.odex files in the phone.

hi, i one of the new sgs2g user.
i would like to join and hoping if we could ever make some custom rom for this version.
but i still noob bout android, and this is my first android phone.
i was able to root my dzki1 kernel, using insecure kernel and abd command, but unable to flash cwm recovery, is there way to flash it?
and other thing, what is deodex and odex? i try google,but could not understand

It's not the one from Odia's thread, is it? I tried that one but it's rooted, but doesn't have CWM.

so meaning to say that until to-date there are no available custom ROM for the GT-I9100G devices??

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure the only issues you have are with te modem that's installed causing degraded data network service. I can test tonight as I have a 8100g laying around atm.
Scratch that it was the 9100T i was thinking of

In short:
1) Root
2) Deodex - use xUltimate
3) Use UOT Kitchen
Sorry I can't give more details. I'm away from my PC right now. Please search for the above tools.

have you guys tried flashing any custom themes ?
the only one working for me is battery %
and is there anyone working on an optimized kernel ? MyGKernel is very good but it isn't optimized and not overclockable as far as i know!

i did and that's normal, you get a yellow triangle because you installed an unofficial (insecure) rom or kernel, don't worry about it, it doesn't affect the stability of your phone in any way, it's just for saying that you have intalled a custom feature (rom or kernel)!

Best kernel for battery life?

Hey guys,
I saw a couple of Kernels in the Original Dev section and wanted to ask you which has the best battery life. Or is the stock one best for battery. Because I can remember for the Sensation and Nexus 7 stock kernel didn't have the best battery life.
Thanks in advance!

Oh I thought you meant the build of the system. Totally forgot that there are two versions of this phone..
I have a I9505.

Try KT-SGS4 kernel.
KT kernel didn't cause any problems(on my phone) and I've been using it for more than a month. Each new release keeps getting better.

What about the best kernel for battery saving for i9500?
Can anybody please tell me?

It depends what settings you use in KT kernel, if you underclock and undervolt your phone, it shouldn't overheat alot

[Q] KT Kernel compability (GT-i9505)

I'm on Wanam's newest ROM [MGA 1.4] and this Adam 1.5 kernel is really draining my battery. It gives me less than 3 hours of screen on timefor a full battery. Never have I encountered this in Adam 1.4. Anyone having the same issue?
Also, regarding the title, read through the KT kernel and find it quite good but im on Wanam's MGA so I needed to know whether is there anybody who tried flashing the kernel and whether does it work.
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Suggestion on which ROM to use.

Hi guys.
I'm in a great dilemma right now.
I like TW but almost all custom kernels are giving me reboots every now and then. :/
Right now I'm using Adam Kernel which doesn't reboot on me, but I need more, like voltage control etc.
So I'm considering either using an AOSP or Google Edition ROM.
Because there are TONS of ROM's out there I'll need your help.
I'm looking for a ROM which:
A) Is completely stable and has little to no bugs.
B) Is not lagging on games, because I game a lot on my S4.
If I'm gonna use a custom kernel I'll definitely need another ROM.
Also I don't care if it's 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as it's stable and get the job done right.
Anyway, can you suggest some ROM's based on my needs?
Thanks!

Anyone?
Come on, just post the name of the ROM if you're bored!

I here that the best are: Omega Rom, Liquidsmooth Rom, Cyanogenmod (I have this and experiencing 2 minor and 1 major flaw) and FoxHound GearEngine are ment to be the best....

Best Kernel/Rom threads are forbidden on XDA , this will get closed soon.
And if you can't handle any kernel without reboots except for Adam Kernel (which is pretty much stock) then that tells me your cpu cant handle undervolting mate

Omega if you want a stable TW experience with some customization, MIUI if you want a completly new and awesome experience but can tolerate some issues popping up.
I run MIUI atm

First of all, this isn't a "best rom" thread, this is a thread for suggesting a good rom based on my needs.
Also I've had reboots without undervolting so your argument is a bit invalid I'm afraid.
Anyway, If you're not going to help I'd suggest you stop spamming the thread because I'm aware of the xda rules.
Thanks.

Echoe or WanamLite.

Have tried a quite a few roms atm using echo rom and ausdim v11 kernal. Stable fast and great battery life. GE roms are great. I recommend reading through the threads and choosing the first thing that grabs your eye. Enjoy

Guys, thanks for the help but I'm on Omega and don't want to switch to another TW rom.
I'm looking only for AOSP/AOKP/GE ROM's.
Thanks!

Kernels that support Fauxdisplay?
Hello,
I'be been using Mahdi for a long time now and love it. I'd like to test out some other kernels, but don't want to lose the ability to run Fauxdisplay for color correction. Can anyone suggest kernels that support it? Will any kernel with "gamma control" work, or are only some of them specific for use with Fauxdisplay? Thanks!

Most kernels use faux's gamma control, some use Franco's, just read the feature list of the kernel which should be in the opening page of the kernel thread.

Will development of Mahdi ROM stop after kitkat for Nexus 4 or all devices... Heck I wouldn't mind getting a Nexus 5 or OPO just to continue to enjoy Mahdi ROM!

@mahdi always release excelent ROM
great performance,smooth and stability
THANKS..

As someone else also pointed out.. Clean flash and try or else flash a another kernel like Semaphore or any other (wipe cache and dalvik after fishing) and see if it fixes it for you. Without logs there is not much one can do.

It is just a final build for kitkat as Lollipop is about to come out. If Mahdi got some time to spend, maybe he will be building for Lollipop. All of us hope he will be building for lollipop. Just chill out dude. Enjoy the last version of Mahdi's kitkat till L come out.

Are you using stock kernel that comes with the rom or you are flashing other kernels? If so, maybe you undervolted too much.

Hells doctor is like hellscore afaik. The default is undervolted by 100mv. Try raising it a bit.

Can anyone recommend gamma calibration settings as I am trying to get the Nexus 4 colour profile to something like Obsanity or Kel Ghu (Gamma 2.2) profiles.
Gamma settings for changes made within Mahdi Rom I do not want to use other managers or kernels.

ART
Can I switch from Dalvik to ART in this Rom ?
Or can I brick my phone ?

I'm coming from a Vanilla rootbox, 4.2.2, can I install directly this one or I need to install a stock 4.4.2 before?
