I've been searching the forums and I've seen people replace their respective stock mms.apk. I just got my 4g slide, coming from the g2 and im not used to this sense mms stuff. I liked the stock mms in the g2 way better. I tried handcent/chomp/go sms...neither was my thing. I'm rooted so if I had to mod anything, thats good...I just need instructions. I just want the regular android 2.3 stock mms i was using in my g2. Is there anyway to accomplish this? Really appreciate it
If you post up the .apk you want to use in this thread, i'll take a look at flashing it to my phone when I get home from work this afternoon. I'm going to run through all the ROMs I have in sequence testing the custom kernel in the dev section, but right now at this moment my phone has it's stock ROM running.
I can write the update and flash it to see if it works before I go about erasing everything on the phone - just an fyi though, i've never actually done any text messaging on the phone so I can't tell you how well it will work, just if it installs and opens fine.
If it does, i'll post the flashable update i'll end up making so you can run with it...unless someone else gets to it before I get back here today.

...but they report problems with mms not working. maybe u can download either mms.apk package and see what u come up with?
I have the CSpire Samsung Galaxy S Showcase SCH-I500 with 2.3.5 stock gingerbread that is rooted using odin and windows command prompt method. Everything works great on it except the flashlight apps (tiny flashlight + led, torch, etc) won't work. I've tried using the camera's flash for pictures and it works but recording a video with the flash doesn't. Like I said, no flashlight apps work. I don't see how it could be a hardware problem because it does flash by taking pictures. Using flashlight apps previous to 2.3 on 2.1 eclair and 2.2 froyo worked fine. Maybe a simple script that could make it work properly on Gingerbread?
bumped for more info
Yet again, bump.
I am replying only to indicate that I am seeing the same problem after upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3.5 on a Samsung Galaxy
....I`ve got the same issue on my Galaxy W., (2.3.5.) both before and after rooting..........apps turn led on ,but not off though..needs force close. led never did work on video!
Same situation here.... With froyo everything worked great. Updated to 2.3.5 via Kies mini, flashlight gone (only works by taking a photo, doesn't even work with video)
As a matter of fact, when I installed the "FLASHLIGHT:LED LIGHT" app, it gave me this error message:
"Your LED is not available, it may be because
1. Your device doesnt have a LED
2. Another application is using the resource"
This looks like a software bug, since the LED DOES work, but only at taking photos...
Any fixes out there please....???
I have this same issue, original post is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283092
I have a different provider than you (mine is Pioneer Cellular). It seems as though Samsung pushed an update with the wrong driver/kernal/firmware for the LED. As of now I am unable to root my phone using superoneclick, and am wondering what other options may be. Also is there a way to "extract" the original .apk file out of the Froyo build?? As stated by others it worked fine before the Gingerbread update.
Please help us BUMP
same issue
I have the same phone with the same Gingerbread update (although I'm not rooted). Same issue, LED doesn't work in any apps that use the LED.

Would you mind sharing how you changed the kernel to fix this issue? I am a major noob, so please be detailed in what you did. Thanks.
Obviously myjellio is a troll. PISS OFF Troll. Anyone with some real info on a fix please feel free to help.
Myjello is not a troll. I have a Samsung Galaxy S on CSpire. SCH-I500.EI20 to be more specific. I am running stock rom rooted with a custom kernel and my led works fine. I am using leankernel.

Could you please shed some light on how you did this or link to the info needed?? Thanks.
I downloaded the leankernel and flashed it using CWM recovery(red). The leankernel can be found on rootzwiki in the mesmerize/fasinate/showcase forum. Search for EI20 kernel or leankernel. This kernel will only work for the EI Showcase.
http://rootzwiki.com/forum/18-mesmerize-fascinate-showcase/
It's a zip file. Download and copy it to your sdcard.
Boot into recovery.
Choose flash from sdcard.
Choose the file named imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_2.2.0.zip
Choose yes.
Your led flashlight should work with this kernel.

If you want rooted you need to copy this root package to the SD card (http://dl.dropbox.co...oot_Package.zip
)
Odin this recovery (make sure repartition is NOT checked) ,*http://dl.dropbox.co...ecovery-ALL.tar
Boot into recovery, and flash the Root Package you put on the card and it should root EI20!!

Fixed mine
Just a note to say that I have fixed issue on my SG. Did an OTA update to 2.3.6. (with the help of "Voodo OTA" - which temporarily "unroots" phone, (so ota updates wont!)). Still had prob re led not turning off. Tried loads of flashlight apps, which didnt work properly until I found a widget called "LED light" which works fine.
Subsequently found via xda- " Notification toggle" - which has a built in toggle for flashlight which also works fine- and is a fantastic app in its own right.
Dont know if these will work for gingerbreads previous to 2.3.6., but worth a try.
p.s. - also led now comes on when filming , which it didnt before!
Fixed LED problem, PLUS ROOT!
Here are detailed instructions for the noobs. (also with root ) Rooting is optional this will work without rooting.
Follow the instructions in the link below: (to get your phone into download mode power off and hold the volume down button while plugging usb cable into phone with other end of cable plugged into computer)

yellow tint colour prb stil in ics 4.0.3 i received ota yesterday i9020
can u help me to corect this colour problem ? i m a new one dont know much .
n no face unlock as shon on certein utube videos
In order to correct the color you need a kernel that supports voodoo controls. Id have to say the washed out stock colors is what killed it for me at the moment.

I've noticed that the screen is a bit dimmer now =P but i think it's good for the batt? i dunno =]
istalled the ics ota 4.0.3 on my nexus s now recovery is not working anymore
what can i do
I had this problem with other ROMs as well besides the stock, but the Gallery seems to only want to display pictures from the Camera folder that were taken after that flash. Any photos from the past refuse to be catalogued by the Gallery. It's a bit annoying, but I'm glad at least the photo actually still exist in the file system. They just aren't being scanned by the Gallery properly.
Another one: I can't add custom ringtones (tried the /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and /sdcard/Ringtones directories). Any ideas? Same issue with notification sounds.
I'm having problems on the internet using the stock browser. It takes a while for pages to load. When I scroll on long pages like message boards, part of the screen goes to a blank white, until everything catches up about 3 seconds later. It seems like the single core processor of the Nexus S isn't playing well with ICS. I kind of figured that this would be the case and regret doing the update.

USB to Windows 7 Laptop
I updated with OTA 4.0.3 this morning. I too am noticing that things are a little slower.
Also, my windows 7 laptop no longer recognises the phone. As a matter of fact, nothing happens at all. I turned on "USB Debugging" but that did not help. Thing is that yesterday I transferred files using the USB cable with no problem (when gingerbread was installed). This morning I update and the phone no longer shows up. It does charge though.
I haven't found a solution as yet. If anyone can help I'll be greatful.
I did a factory reset and things got a little better...my linpack test went from 6mflops to 15, but it should be mUch higher than that
I manually updated my dad's nexus s. Installed fine but it looks like the phone doesnt want to read the sim card.
I bricked my LG G2X can't get past boot screen. The little unboxing screen when you hard reset isn't unloading anything. Is there a way to get to recovery mode without a pc?

You've flashed the wrong radio, bro. Flash the full stock 2.3.6 for your device and await the OTA.
Ok.. The manufacturer finally release ICS for this tablet, it initially does not have gapps..... you need to install CWM and reboot into recovery through ADB... like i said you need to have CWM already installed!!!!! this works on ALL my tablets i just checked it out... it has market, gmail, and superuser. once it is installed you can access recovery by holding down volume:up and power until recovery shows up... ( before It could not be done)
here is the link and instructions for CWM:

here is my nandroid:
http://www.2shared.com/file/HInNxhH1/2012-02-13143731.html
(i had to strip out google talk, it kept on giving me problems..)
on a side note you need a external card to access the nandroid, put it in /clockworkmod/backup/
i haven't tested anything else, ie can not load youtube app and not sure about video playback... netflix only plays sound not video...
if this helped you hit the like button.. i am poor and i only do this when i have time and out of love for this great device and OS.... i am not responsible if your wife leaves you or a natural disaster happens in your area or you brick that sucker.... flash at your own risk...
thanks goes out to everyone that made this possible... maybe i will see if i can port CM9 but don't hold me to that..
Good job, I was actually going to post this today as well until I searched to make sure no one else had already done it. CWM works great with this now that the capacitive buttons work, now to do some modding so we can get cm9 running on it. I still can't get netflix apk to stream, the sound works but no video.
ya i know! that sucks... i need to try to get a youtube app and push it to see if it works.. but i really love it... i wonder if i can try the momo9 cm9 and see what works and go from there.. but school and work keeps me busy as hell!!!
Google Talk works for me with "newtech25_for_ics4.0.3"- script
Google Talk does not work with anything I tried. Tried a lot of patches and versions. Any ideas ?
Try to reflash manufacture rom then newtech25_for_ics4.0.3 script.
i used this one http://www.sappasit.go.th/android/newtech25_for_ics4.0.3.zip
but if figured out there is bug in calendar sync with newtheck script. talk works also with video no problems at all
The gapps package I installed from clockwork mod had youtube in it and it works fine so I have no idea why netflix wouldn't work on ics when it was fine on the stock gb firmware.
what was the gapps package you used?
At this point two main issues
Market does not show system apps.
Some apps (google), even if installed from the Market gives a android system stop responding...
Update
Errors were due to Gapps not properly installed...
Small issue though Camera photos are up side down ?! Can anyone test it for me as well? as this may affect skype video calling ie.
Last thing to sort out Full market support and flash...
my camera works fine on mine, and i restored on 3 of the same tablets... i am working on finding a working google apps i guess... but everything works on mine. Weird, but i will lool for another ICS google apps and then do another nandroid. thanks for your feedback..
Use gapps v11 from CM9. Just flash them from CWM.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm on 2.3.4 from 20120107 when i press vol+ and power i only get a triangle with exclamation point inside and an android icon but nothing else.
So i need to flash ics first and then use cwm to flash the nandroid with gapps, right?

Hey I was trying to install CWM into my F1 and I cannot run the given scripts. It says permission denied. Any way to work this around?
It needs root. The easiest way is with Unlock Root.

As far as I know, the device comes pre rooted. I tried to root it again with superoneclick and it says it is already rooted.
I install some rom
There are those that work and those do not
There is one rom I install (I like it)
It was working and suddenly stopped working
I deleted and installed another rom that worked.
I deleted again and try to infuse another rom that does not work
Part of this works part that does not work .. unable to reach solution
I'm back rom I like (it does not work) it bothers me a lot
I ask you do you know what the problem is not working?
See a picture of what I mean
Lighting does not work I mark in red
