The Froyo to Gingerbread wait... - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Seeing the GB roms available before the actual update by carrier...is it worth getting it now or should I wait until whenever for the official update? I'm enjoying the custom froyo roms but lerry if trying the gb roms now.

I'm personally waiting... When I got my sgs4g there was nothing now I love the phone.
Considering the improvements with froyo roms over stock I think it's in my best interest to wait for the developers to improve the stock gb rom.

I'm on the odexed kg4 leak with drhonk's red cwm+ext4+root kernel, and I *love* it. OC'd to 1.3GHz, I Quad 2850 or so. Gingerbread is light-years ahead of froyo. Only issue I've personally encountered is outgoing wifi calling volume is inaudibly quiet, and that's not a dealbreaker as I stopped using Wifi calling when I started using Bali kernels.
If you're thinking about it, I say go for it

I felt the same way and held off. Took the plunge - Installed the samfirmware 2.3.4 leak via odin and Drhonk's GB CWM+Voodoo a couple of nights ago (could not get it into recovery using whitehawkx version). Phone is awesome...no rainbow boot screens, no FC's...just plain awesome. Everything works...came from Black Ice with Bali 3.3UV and all of the tweaks and will not be going back.
It's a personal choice though, the only thing I am currently missing is the voodoo sound I had with Bali 3.3UV. Small price to pay IMO.

Unless I missed something the Kernel doesn't support it. I have the voodoo control app installed and lagfix enabled, but it says that the kernel does not support the sound mods.
The other thing i miss is the black ice "system shutdown" audio. That never got old.

Extract the shutdown.ogg from blackice in system/media/audio/ui. Use a pc to convert it to a .Wav then place it in system/media/audio/ui make sure it is called shutdown.Wav for gingerbread to work right.

I will try it tonight. Thanks

I got tired of waiting for the upgrade. It's one thing to wait for an upgrade and it's another to get zero dates and information. I decided to use SamFirmware's latest, and to put it simply, I love it so much better than Froyo. In fact, the only thing bothering me is the website scroll on the stock browser. With Froyo, I could swipe upwards a few times and it would quickly take me to the top of the page. For some reason, with Gingerbread, a swipe appears to move me up the screen by some fixed intervals. This extra 3-5 second inconvenience is very tolerable.

Audacity is an excellent converter for this.

I agree with Jay on this topic. GingerBread is amazing, with the major downside being horribly quiet WiFi calling. Unfortunately with as often as my phone is WiFi connected and how much I use it for work, I'm sticking with Froyo for now. Other than that, if you're comfortable with flashing it, there really is no reason to wait.

be sure to thank the devs for their hard work. froyo at this point in time is much more customizable than gb, but its only a matter of time before our devs crack it.

Donate if possible also! The devs put a lot of their time and effort these ROMS.

decompile the apk and then you need to rebuild some of the dependancies based off the gb rom to run on non gb like the classes dex file also need to edit the jar then repack it sign it should be ok from there

omg.. being a super noob, i only understand 5% of those info.. =). hmmmm.. can i just move a GB camera apk to system/app ?

Voodoo Sound Coming!

I asked @supercurio on twitter:
"Gabriel Forgie (sageDieu):
@supercurio Im using the kernel from here: http://goo.gl/WpoxU and was wondering if there's any chance for compatibility with VoodooApp...."
http://twitter.com/sageDieu/status/25971583906480128
and this is his reply:
"François Simond (supercurio):
@sageDieu Voodoo sound on Verizon Fascinate, Mesmerize, and Showcase? Positive ! Give us a few days "
http://twitter.com/supercurio/status/25974164317798401
So I assume this means maybe we will get a new Voodoo kernel or at least support in VoodooApp for sound boosts.

I'll be DJ-ing our office holiday party on Friday night and now I feel a lot more comfortable using my Mez to do it. It sounds MUCH better through my earbuds and it'll HAVE to sound better running out to my PA. Simply phenomenal difference.
EDIT: Can I blow the built-in speaker with this?!?
You could definitely blow your eardrums with ear-buds on max lol...
Also wanted to thanks to all who had a part in bringing this to us. I've still got my cheap ass ear-buds in listening to the phone, sitting around excellent more than capable audio devices....
OK so I will be the Noob here.
But the Sound fix that this enables. Is it just a passive fix ? or can it be user tweaked.
What I am asking is it just a fix that generally improves audio without any user input or does it activate some hidden controls (eq ?)..

[App] Sense 3.0 Lock Screen

For those of you who like/love the lock screen of Sense 3.0 then this app is for you. Its called Agile Lock and it has tons of options/settings for things such as changing the font of the lock screen, of course being able to have the 4 app shortcuts on the lockscreen just like Sense 3.0, and much more. I spoke to the dev/one of the devs behind this masterpiece (Bo Zhang) and he seems pretty cool and he said if I/we have any ideas to help improve this app then feel free to email him @ [email protected].
This app can be found in the Android Market by typing in "Agile Lock". There is a free version and a paid version, but I definitely recommend buying the paid version.

Why doesn't it work? Try emailing Bo and tell him. I'm pretty sure he'll make it work. He seems very understanding. I emailed him about 2 ideas and he said one of the ideas will be implemented in the next release and the other will be in the one after that. I just finish emailing him. He's awake!
Edit: I just caught on to what you said. Sounds like its an issue with CM7. Maybe you can contact one of the devs and ask them how to make it work. They should be more than willing to make it work since CM is about personalization.

Did you restore specifically for this app or you just like the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom also and I personally don't have any issues with it. I honestly must of had one random reboot in opposed to 5-10 on Froyo.

XDA member Sarni84 mentioned that same issue. I'm on the non rooted Gingerbread OTA so I can't check right now plus I'm at work, but when I get home I can extract the CM7 file to my computer and search through it. In the meanwhile go to the CM7 posting and see if anyone has found a solution or can find a solution. I usually get home around 5-6pm Eastern.

No. If you want HDMI, you need to either run a Froyo ROM or wait until after AT&T releases Gingerbread - going to take at least 1-2 weeks after that IMO, maybe longer.

I've been running mosaic vi all day now and all I can say is wow. I loved mosaic when I had my captivate, followed it from mosaic one all the way to 5, then handed it off to my dad when I got my infuse. After installing mosaic 6 on my infuse today, I played with it side by side with my dads captivate, also on mosaic 6, and our phone blows the captivate out of the water. I haven't seen a single hint of lag whatsoever.
If you try mosaic, which I highly suggest you do, don't worry about the fix for mosaic 6 posted in the op of the mosaic thread...couldn't get it to work properly, and the rom works fine without it. Also, you can use all of the themes they have for mosaic, just make sure you flash hellraiser again after you flash any theme. I installed the erebos theme and my phone looks slick as hell. Love having themed swype keyboards again.

No H+ icon, as it's a captivate rom and the captivate doesn't have H+. It does have the H icon however, and my speeds seem to be on par with what I was seeing on actual infuse roms. As for the mobile ap, not sure, haven't tried it yet, but wasn't hellraiser 6 supposed to fix that issue?
Edit*** You had me curious, so I checked on both things. I pulled a 3.3 mbps down, 1.3 up, which is about the fastest I have seen in my area. When I was on my captivate and on only hspa, not hspa+, I could only pull like 1.5 to 2 down, so H+ is still working even though the icon doesnt show. Also, I tethered my laptop using mobile ap to edit this post, so it is in fact working, just make sure you use hellraiser 6

Performance Lags

I believe my G2X is a later model, it does not come with the mini-HDMI, like i guess the first patch used to come with.
Anyway, upgraded to 2.3.3, ADW launcher, nothing fancy, not rooted. But over the past couple of days I am noticing some drop in performance, music skips when i browse through the menus and check e-mail. Also when i hit the unlock botton, there is about a second delay before the screen turns on.
The internal storage has 2gb remaining, my external SD has about 1.5gb remaining. I can only get up to ~170mb of RAM when i clear everything using Taskiller.
Not sure what is happening, but seems to be bogging down.
Thanks.

Anyway, upgraded to 2.3.3, ADW launcher, nothing fancy, not rooted. But over the past couple of days I am noticing some drop in performance, music skips when i browse through the menus and check e-mail. Also when i hit the unlock botton, there is about a second delay before the screen turns on.
The internal storage has 2gb remaining, my external SD has about 1.5gb remaining. I can only get up to ~170mb of RAM when i clear everything using Taskiller.
Not sure what is happening, but seems to be bogging down.
Thanks.

Look under the battery and see what the Model Number is. All G2x p999 phones have HDMI output at the top of the phone.

Alright well I just downloading the rooted 2.3.3. OTA and I need to get Superone Click next, right? Along with the Clockwork Mod?
I see that there were differences when rooting 2.3.3. I don't want to miss anything.
-ROM
-Clockwork Mod
-Superone Click
-LG Driver
-Tegra driver?
Thats it?

All you need to do is use NVFlash. It installs a custom CWM for you. You don't really need root. Once you're done with NVFlash then you're good to go. It's in the dev section, good luck.

No sorry, I meant it does not come with the CABLE. I heard that the first batch from T-Mobile came with the cable.

Wouldn't it be easiest to just go back to the stock version for the G2X, then follow the superone click method?
Maybe i'm just getting confused, but do i need the Nvidia AND the clockwork mod?

Well ****! haha it doesn't matter, i have an HDMI cable and it works beautifully. this is easily the best phone i have ever owned.
I'm going to try the NVflash method of getting Clockwork Mod onto my phone...then from there choose a ROM that is higher than 2.3.4. I just dont like these weird themed roms, I like the clean, stock look.

You won't have to root a custom ROM. Sorry if you know this already, I just hadn't seen anyone mention it. You had superoneclick listed after rom. These roms floating around here already have root access. Once you get cwm working, just pick a rom (i.e. cyanogenmod) and flash it.

It was a mistake. He stated his did not have HDMI and they all have it. He meant it did not have a cable.

Some more ice water over here please
First off dwitherall thank you for Tweakstock and all your hard work and all those involved. This is the best Rom imoa and your support is outstanding your a class act.
That being said I got an idea for Tweek how about a barebones version no music player, gallery, skype ect just the absolute minimum and let the flasher flesh the bones. Most people TB or Mybackup their apps and settings as soon as they flash and go in and gut all the redundant apps anyway.
I found the htc sense 2 keyboard, but all it is a stock keyboard with green lights... Im pretty sure eventually the new one will show. My wife has the inc 2 and the keyboard is awesome. I wish I knew hot to pull it out of there and create an apk of some kind...

Just pull it from her system and smash it onto your phone. It's not hard, but compatibility isn't guaranteed.

Being as close as possible to stock=What does that have to do with me wanting the htc sense keyboard or slide to clear in the notification bar?
