Hi all! i wanted to start a FAQ thread because im sick of seeing/reading threads like "what is best custom ROM? please help", "need OC help, please help!" and other very useless threads. i come acrcoss these kind of threads almost every day :/ thats why i want to make this thread to minimize the amount of useless threads
red = question color
green = answer color
@please make this thread sticky so it will always remain at the top
FAQ
1.) what ROM is best/stable/battery saver/fastest?
this is the MOST asked question of all time and short answer is: test every available ROM! everybody has their opinion and it is just stupid to make this kind of thread because most likely it is going to end up like this:
user24 says: InDroid is the best use that!
user25 says: lestatious is the best use that!
user26 says: no use kyrillos, its the best!
so DONT post threads like that!
2.) best filesystems to use?
most of the people say its:
stl6 ext4
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
3.) what is the best stock ROM?
almost everybody recommends JPM
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
5.) im from another SG forum and id like to flash SG3 ROM, can i do it? we have very similar specs
you can do it but it wont work!
6.) OMG, help me, kies wont recognize my phone and i cant revert back to official firmware!
Kies wont recognize your phone if its rooted, if you have flashed a custom ROM or if you have flashed unofficial samsung ROM!, so you need to find out what is the official firmware in your country then find that firmware on www.samfirmware.com and flash it via odin
7.) is it dangerous to flash a custom ROM?
Most likely no but remember you are flashing on your own and the risks are still there no matter what
8.) How to root android 2.2 FROYO?
use super1clickRoot, z4root wont work on 2.2!
9.) how do i know if my phone is hard bricked?
you CANT enter recovery, download (using 3 button (power+vol down+home button)) or boot the phone
10.) my phone CAN enter download mode but cant boot, is it soft brick?
yes it is! just flash another ROM and everything should be ok
ill add more FAQ´s later but now i got other things to do oh and also you can suggest different kind of questions and answers you want me to add
also tell me what you think of this thread
ill add links here
- www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm for official and un official firmwares
- http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5800_galaxy_3-3395.php full SG3 specs

then i reply to that thread with CAPS on and say: !READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING! and if they are blind and cant read my text ill PM mod to delete it
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
samsung customer service germany told me yes lol
but is still to be confirmed by other users ^^
anyway I don't understand why people get so mad because of such threads, if you hate them, just ignore them. no one forces you to read or even answer
I don't understand why people can't just use the search option as well. as they would geht their answer faster.
but hey, you're on the internet, not everyone's as smart as you. there are stupid users everywhere

when i get confirmation that we will have 2.3 i will update it but now its most likely a no also im not mad im just stunned because there are mny threads like this and that but nobody even cares to search for them and then they spam the forum... this SHOULD decrease haree's job on this forum, he has many, many other forums that he is in charge and with this thread i hope that his job will become easier and the forums will be cleaner
and because there are some lazy guys who cant/wont use the search tool this will most likely answer thse answers
The search tool is useless, if you get even a work wrong you have to wait 30secs and search again which is kinda pretty lame. So this thread is useful, thanks jazux.

true but now i have created poll (will make it public in a minute ) and it has 29 ROMs and 29 options... i looked trough every page on dev section and listed every ROM that is not closed/dead and with dl link available

not all new roms last long you know..
I'm sure after the rom tutorial was out many new roms came up but lasted for less time..(no specific names please!)
So it wont matter much..
But if a new rom was really awesome and worth the entry in the poll haree could add a option(maybe) or could restart the poll with new option(definitely, this can be done by a mod)
Edit: Nice,jazux you looked for 29! Roms.

my question is "why MARCELLUSBE is still not a recognized developer"...now i know he's too humble and says all these LABELS doesn't bother him...but a little more recognition is necessary..I'm just sayin
Just looking at the general section nd found it messy..With most of them useless or repeated..
I created this thread for new members....
1.People who r new nd need some basic information.
2.People who want to know about firmware...root....miui....cm7....ics....cm9...how to flash....what is pit file....any question u feel shy to ask...
Our great developers will surely answer them..
I m uploading some videos regarding miui installation nd my 1 week experience...

2.MIUI Version 8....

i never thought even "bees" would be capable of using a phone or even be a part of a "family".
its not "new bees" mate. its "newbies". and the fact newbies dont read before posting, its very unlikely they will come here cause they dont read!

Just looking in general section and found same questions are repeated again........
This thread is for our new members......they r also part of our i9003 family...

Firstly does the OP of the ROM said that he apply the sd swap?
I also seen your conversation with longfeng on the icebolt rom thread..and he is right on the changing of vold.fstab..
If you dont now how to edit the file its better to ask the maker of the cROM to upload the origunal vold.fstab.

completely agree with u. Even its more surprising is that when someone scold to such noobs for creating un-necessary threads then instead of supporting that senior member other people start blaming to that senior member that he is doing bossing over there. We people must understand that if we keep some strict decipline here then only noobs with behave properly. We cant completely rely on our mods.

Remember the days when xxkph custom roms were out......we were having a clean forum....then it got separated........now development section is clean but general section is totally populated....this is called urbanisation ;->
Hey guys, a new member here, but have been lurking in this board for a few months now.
I agree that it is really very annoying to see the same questions over and over again, but then, it is also so hard, with the amount of pages of often offtopic posts (replying to conversations not related to the main topic)/double posts. If there were some sort of chatbox here, then I guess the amount of spam posts might be redirected to the CB.
Also, I do hope I can be a good member here in the forums. I'm really trying to modify and customize my own ROM, but I guess I'll have to observe and learn more every now and then.

Hoping someday a when I go back to this forum It would be the forum that we build from good respect and a friendly envirolment that made I9003 a better phone...
I kept writing on this thread so NEWBIES would know the simpathy of devs and the people who tried to make this thread a better place...

First - Show little respect for developers & forum! Creating empty threads & even if it in GENERAL leads to thread locked/deleted.
Second - Creating threads about ROM problem will not help it solved... Pst it in ROM thread.
Third - Your probem is already known in all custom ROM's, so it can't be solved for now...
I suggest you read forum rules...

Hello,
I am new to the forums and android in general. Anyways, I am wondering if any one could advise me on the best steps to root and update my oldish android phone. It is currently on android 2.2.1 and has no support for 2.2.3 which is why I believe I need a custom rom.. I have looked thru numerous threads and sources but have yet to find a method i fully understand and trust, as i hear it.. you guys are very helpful and i am hoping that is true cause im about to pull my hair out at this point
Ugh.. I posted this in the wrong section.. Can a mod please delete this? I will post it in the appropriate section.
