[Q] samsung galaxy s 4g new root

hi. i rooted my phone for the first time yesterday. i only did it because i'm new to this and i'm kind of a dork i wanted to see how it works. i also wanted to get rid of some of the stock apps that i don't use. what's the best ROM to flash for a beginner and is there somewhere i can find instructions on how to do it? i know bricking is a possibility if i do it wrong, and that's what i'm trying to avoid.

You can search for specific things, or look at the Bible thread. Tells you exactly what you can do with the phone

Check out the bible. Its very helpful. I'd stay away from gb Rom until you are comfortable with flashing.
Personally i like the audiophile redux and icbinb. Those ares smooth roms. Black ice is good but it's a little difficult to get running.

GB is definitely tricky, but fbis has a great tutorial on how to flash. GB starter pack

I would flash Valhalla the dev gave really easy instructions of how to flash it

Stock question

Im currently running tsugi rom. And ive been wondering if i can get stock look on it (basically everything). Is there a flashable cwm zip somewhere? Ive looked for it but i havent found it. If anyone knows, please post link to download or the link to the thread with download link. Thanks .

Either use xborder's stock ROM, or EaglesBlood stock ROM. Both have the stock GB look.

Im asking if i can get the stock look on tsugi.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I gave you his those two options because there's no way to get the stock look on Tsugi unless you know how to do it yourself, or use the UOT kitchen.

Couldnt i just flash a stock framework-res.apk from either those roms? Or is the g2x more complicated?

You might mess up stuff. Tsugi's framework is different from stock. He added the toggle widgets that you see and probably did other changes as well. So it might be trickier than that. Do you not wanna leave Tsugi?
Because there's other alternatives to the stock ROM.

Id be willing to flash weapon g2x as ive used whitehawks roms on other phones too and they're flawless. But maybe ill try eaglesblood once he updates. Thanks for your help!

I am running his rom as well, anytime I try to download something with browser like a pic off a webpage, etc I get a download failed error. Its beginning to irritate me and need someone to point to a fix. I know of one fix, a new rom.

Kj2 is the most recent upgrade, you can find those stock files in search I believe

I've searched and searched for the same files or a link and I am not able to find them anywhere either. If perhaps a more experienced boardie could post a link or thread with an actual working link I'd be very thankful!

What is the full name of the file? Kj2 is too simple and gets too many responses in Search.

[Q] Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Froyo 2.2.1 Need Help!

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.

Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

Were you able to get this to work?

Thanks so much for the help I kind of feel dumb now. I figured out the reason Odin couldn't recognize my device was because of the USB cable. I switched the cable and bam it worked... thanks for taking the time to guide me in the right direction.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.

Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.
