Yup, I've flashed almost every room and I'm sticking to this now that it's stable. I really think you'll love it, let me know if you need help.

yeah you have to flash a froyo package that has the froyo bootloaders. try JPU or EZbase.

Correct, you have to flash froyo ROM, then flash a stock voodoo + froyo kernel. From here follow the instructions from the OP who posted the CM7 ROM.

[Q] ClockworkMod does not have Apollo in drop down list

When i try to install clockworkmod it asks for the make and model of the handset. The samsung i5801 Apollo is not in this list?

Yes it isnt. The developer of cwm ported it to our phone with some help from this forums developers(im not sure i just know it has a few bugs)and it still has a few bugs. Flash a custom kernel for cwm. Try g3mod kernel

Hi thanks for the help. One thing thats confusing the situation is that people seem to reffer to my phone as the galaxy 3 or the i5801? I know it as i5801 Apollo, some people reffer to it as Galaxy i5800?
So is the Galaxy 3 the i5801 or the i5800 ?
Cheers.

Hi. Yeah I know what I have is the i5801.. In the UK its called Apollo. SO in the states its two different verions of the same model both called Galaxy 3 but in i5801 or i5800 varieties?

They are the same with a few minor differences such as i5801 having the possibility of back light notification(BLN). Anythig workin on i5800 should work on i5801. I flashed froyo custom roms on my phone based on europena firnware and they work fine

Both are essentially the same, in India its called i5801, its known with various names in different countries, apollo being most used. You dont have to worry as all ROMs posted in the forum will work on any of i5801 or 5800.

Hey cool thanks for thehelp guys..
What is a good rom then I know nobody likes this question but I usually regard Cyanogen as the best for stripped down performance. Juat simple and it works, thats all I am looking for really..

Well, since CM is half working, it not for you! In my g3 I have CM, since I can live with the flaws, but kyrillos' and Lestat make the best roms here, apart from CM. Lestat is idle for a while, so I'd go for kyrillos'

all i can say i havent seen any real bad roms, just visit the threads in the dev section and compare them to what you want from it. ive used kyrillos for a long time but with recent updates i figured it was not what i want anymore (wich offcourse doesnt make it a bad rom). i went looking for something else i liked and the rom that caught my eye was kyorarom.
so basicly its a matter of taste. like i said try to compare them for your needs and flash the one you think suits you best. and if after using it a bit you want to try something else? just flash another one.
good luck and happy flashing

Thanks so much for the really helpful info!
I ended up deciding that the Apollo i5801 is not for me as the screen is just to small and low resolution. I am selling it if anyone is interested:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290634314...ELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_959
Instead I have chosen to go for the Motorola Defy as its still pretty cheap and has a high res screen and good battery.
Thanks for all the help and I hope this thread helps people that are interested in the Apollo..

does that also go for kernels? i really need to get my stock ROM which is rooted to use clockworkrecovery
since you have the same phone any help would be appreciated i don't want to mess with roms but if it means
updating a kernel will get me clockworkmod recovery working on this phone i am all for it.

yeah it goes for kernels too.

[Q] Which custom ROM is recommended for me?

Hi all,
I need help deciding which custom ROM to flash to my i9003, but i want one that has full Arabic support and a good camera firmware. If possible, please post images of ROMs you recommend, any help is appreciated

Good camera- gingerbread has dim video recording, so choose a froyo custom rom. Maybe cranium 3.1(I tink its froyo, not sure) and should have Arabic(again, I'm not sure). Check out the android dev section for that rom, and also I believe you can add Arabic patch to any cRom.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

hello mate,
Well if you not interested in video record, I suggest for you Cyanogenmod 7 it is so smooth and stable with some issue that can be fixed soon, like video record, apps can't use mic.
this is my chose
and have fun

@bscraze Thanks for your response. Ive been reading a little about Cranium 3.1, and i'm about to flash it but i had a question related to the instructions given by sakindia123:
he says clean flash to XXKPH, so can i flash to JPKP5 instead? it is exactly the same version of gb but just different region (language)
maybe anyone can answer my question without having to start a new thread over it
thanks..

I don't think so, there's no reason not flash to xxkph, unless you're sim locked. If you still want to try, go ahead, I'm not sure weather it will work. If it doesn't you can always reflash, as it will result in a soft brick at most
Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI

cranium is GB, not froyo. don't flash the rom without upgrading to GB first. (I see that was mentioned that you know it's GB, so just a warning...). in addition, if you haven't seen it yet and you want to use push mail notification, GB has a bug on all ROMs that keeps it from working properly. if you don't need it, then flash away!

The reason i dont want to flash to xxkph is that it doesnt support Arabic :/

Actually i do need the push mail notification, but i hate the Froyo keyboard, copy/paste options and some other things.. bottom line: i'll stick to GB (thanks for warning)
BUT i want it custom GB (i chose Cranium) and i'm facing the language issue mentioned above

Other popular custom roms include titanium s(IMO it's good) and poseidons rom(many people use this rom) or cranium 5.1.

Well they both have Arabic patch, just that I'm not sure if its preinstalled in cm7. Cm7 has dsp manager which is good, Poseidon I'm not sure if it has dsp manager. Its really personal preference, for me I prefer cm7. Poseidon just wasnt for me . If you try and you feel it doesnt suit your taste, then switch. Right now I love miui so much I haven't switched roms ever since I flashed it, though im aa flashaholic and flash a lot of roms in the past for my android phones

Remember to do a full wipe before and after flashing(for safety) and you may want to flash a custom kernel after that, maybe xda bam or uc kernel, and remember to wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the kernel.
Remember that if you can't boot your phone but can access download mode, don't panic, just do a reflash. Eg. Reflash kpq.
PS. I recommend uc kernel v9 2009 or 1009 or 3009 if your phone can handle the overclock. Also, custom roms are definitely better than stock roms have fun flashing

Rom for FROYO

Hey is there anyone who likes froyo. Well i do . And am on froyo DDKB1 . But the prob. is that there are no roms made for froyo not even a basic one. So can anyone try makin a rom for froyo
Froyo.....yo.........

only few people use it so i don't think you'll find a custom rom for froyo

you should better update. gingerbread gives better performance and many more thinks so better update to 2.3.6

Android is moving to ICS and you are stuck at FROYO
After 12th develop your own rom based on "Froyo yo"

AND you have to find a way to flash the rom...cwm (unmodded) won't do good on froyo...

Can't Install Custom ROMs

hi guys.
I have problems when installing certain custom ROMS using CWM acording to the Baseband used.
Don't Know why, but when I wanted to install VURRUT KPU again (i had done it several times) Screen keeps on the first image of SAMSUNG SCL I9003 and nothing happens.
I tried to use another custom ROM based on LF2, and when I install it via CWM, it does the same thing, the only difference is that the phone reboots and comes back again to the same SAMSUNG screen.
My phone is galaxy SCL I9003L but i've never had problems installing those ROMs.. It's very strange.
Please if someone could explain me if there is a reason why it's happening this, tell me, i'm a bit scared, using Stock FROYO I9003LUBKB1.
Thanks

Because your'e still in FROYO. Upgrade it first to gingerbread. See my post. General Guide for noobies.

Oh so ur phone is i9003L!
I think u can try the qwerty Rom, as far as I remember once LoSco (rom dev) told that his rom can also be used for Argentine version of SL i.e; Galaxy SL i9003L.
To confirm, just ask in that thread once then go for flashing it if he says yes.
Hope this helps u.
