Got my galaxy 3 today,whats next? :-)

Ok,i already rooted it.but i need to find a way to install recovery and flash kernels.im experienced android user,flashed my x8 all day and really knew everything about that phone.i just need to figure g3 out.i think its not that hard

First find the flashing tools. It can be found after you download a rom as its included in the file you downloaded, or just search google for i5800 odin i think. Then, head over to the g3mod thread and download g3mod kernel v2.2.2. 2.3 has some bugs with the recovery i believe, so currently stick with 2.2.2. Then download the tar file of the oc or non-oc, then open odin as admin, select the ops file, and tick one package and select the g3mod tar file you downloaded. Then boot your phone to download mode, using vol down+home+power buttons. Then connect your phone to the com and click start. However, pls make sure you have downloaded kies and installed phone drivers and make sure you computer can detect your phone and you csn transfer stuff to and fro your com before this. Head over to the use odin for dummies thread. May have the files you need not sure xD. I'll try to find the things for you
Edit: yup its in the guide to use odin in the general section

For me i like fugumod ultra. But its your own preference for rom, i love kyorarom. Use alpha 7 . Flash kyorarom 4.0, then update thru cwm using alpha 6 zip file then update to alpha 7 using the zip file thru cwm.

HI
Congratulations! this is a beautiful fone!
All ROMS have their Advantages and disadvantages, some are most stock & stable, some are very fast, other have a lot of features, etc. Depends on what you want, There is only one way to find out. Try them all. I personally use Kyorarom.
Other than what you already know, my phone explorer software & client is very handy and indispensible.

You may check my ROM also. Based on DDJP6 with ICS touch!

Kyrillos ROM is very nice and we're expecting an huge update from kyrillos (the dev) maybe GB, it's like everything "wait and see" .

Yeah,i heard kyrillos has a very good rom.so did someone try ics ports? Are they smooth in scrolling? I think ill try kyrillos rom or kyorarom.only request i have is no touchwiz.look.i really dont like it.i more like Cyanogen,or even stock gingerbread look.

I'm using CyanogenMod 7. It's the only AOSP gingerbread ROM and is still in an Alpha stage so it has some problems.

Check all ROMs. Flash everything. Well start from Froyo ROMs. DutchMods, Vivek s etc. And then move to CM7. Well CM7 is the fastest. And in few days, Alpha 7 will be released with most of the things fixed. Now CM7.1 alpha 7 after releasing, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Well its my suggestion. Most ROMs for now are Froyo based. And many of them are pretty good. You know just to get a feel of everything. But that s just me. You can start with CM7 too.

SGH-I727R Kernal flashing for stock rogers ics

Hey everyone,
New to the crew, and blown away by how helpful and knowledgable this community's members are. Hopefully I get smart soon so I can contribute!
Q: If i'm running stock ICS 4.0.4 on the canadian skyrocket, am I able to flash a custom kernal that allows for changing boot animations, cpu control, and various other tweaks, and how would one flash only the kernel and not the rom? I think i'm one of the few people who doesn't completely abhor the tw interface.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

Yeah. Flash cwm with Odin, put su on sd card, use cwm to flash su. Then you are rooted. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash the kernel in cwm.

Thanks for the reply! I should have mentioned that i'm rooted and have the latest cwm touch installed already. I guess a better question would be which kernal would be recommended in this case?

you just need to find a kernel that is ics compatible, download it to your sd card, boot into cwm, clear the cache and dalvik cache, then nav to the kernel zip and flash it. I would suggest taking a look at a couple of vincoms stickies for noobs a the top of the skyro dev forum, theyre a wealth of knowledge for us new guys.

Any ics kernel. Depends if you want bln, oc, uv. If you want those use mohans cymbaline, it's the only one we have with those options. The other kernels will allow uc and boot animation support, the basics.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

thank you! I went ahead and educated myself on the matter, and am really enjoying mohans embryo 4.1 with the cymbaline kernel. Its touchwiz base probably helps the phones stability, and the s3 features are pretty neat. I also recommend the build.prop tweaks linked from embryo's dev page.

Best Rom

Hello,
Please suggest me best roms for sensation, with no bugs and stable roms.

Hi, this post was asked before, there aint no best rom. U should try n find sumtin' what fits for ya.
Myself, have installed a lotta romz, but finally am satisfied with this last one ViperS 1.6 with sense 4.1.
U hafta suppose wat do u want, being up-to-date, then choose one of those jelly bean thingz. Of course they've got much more bugz comparing to ics ones, cuz they aint representational. U want performance, choose one which is light n aint got no heavy background processes.

Press thanks if I helped

I would definitely suggest you try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
Been working with it for a week and i really love it. It's fast, stable and quite battery friendly.

Hello i am still confused using cyanogen stable 9.1 working coolcbut cm10 which u given is it stable
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 2

It's not official a stable ROM but like I said, I've been using it (thoroughly) for almost 2 weeks now and have experienced very few bugs, but so did I using CM9.1.
Why don't you try it? Just install the ROM from SD card without wiping any data or cache. You'll keep all your apps and settings and it will take like 5 min.
If you're not satisfied just recover a backup.

I don't think that's a really good idea for two reasons:
1 - I don't think it will work.
2 - Every ROM thread suggests a full wipe when coming from another ROM. In fact bruce2728, the developer of the ROM you linked before, says in the install notes:
A full wipe using 4ext is only required if coming from another ROM.
DO NOT use a superwipe script

Before flashing always make a backup of your apps and data with something like Titanium Backup and then follow carefully the installation instructions in the ROM thread

Terrible advice, ALWAYS WIPE*:
/data
/boot
/system
/cache
dalvik vm cache
ESPECIALLY when moving from a Sense ROM to an AOSP ROM.
*Not mandatory in all situations involving updating a ROM, although it is recommended.

Hi. I just read a few guides since I don't know how this phone works that well, but as far as I am concerned, you would have to first install a rom or kernel with CWM 5 or higher, not 6. So there are ROMS on gingerbreaed that have this... But just to be safe, i would install cm7.... Look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_a_ROM

Your best bet is to use a 1click like eollie's 1 click with a modded kernel that has cwm built in, first link in the 2nd post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Once you flash that, you will have cwm, which you can then use to flash any variation of ICS. You might need to be on ICS then go to JB, depends on the ROM but most will let you go straight from the cwm that the above link to the new ROM.
If you don't need GPS, don't mind small bugs, etc, then there are several JB's out there.
If you want GPS, good battery life, stability, etc, then try ultragen and the kernel linked in my sig.

Just flash Fluidification's CM10.1 Aries. I flashed it from 2.3.6 stock with CWM 5.0 2 8 and it automatically updated me to 6.0.2.8 at the beginning of the flashing process. Hope i helped!

[Q] System updates with custom kernel?

Hi guys,
With i.e. Franco kernel installed, will I be able to have official updates on stock ROM?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

No.

To further elaborate, any changes to /system will render updates useless. A custom kernel, having root, etc. You can however flash a stock ROM over your current install and it'll essentially have the same effect as updating.

So what would you suggest - in case of me going to root it and use custom kernel and dalvik, should I go fully custom or at least stick to atock rom and eventualy update it with fastboot?

I recommend fully customized. You'll have complete control over your device, be able to do things like multi boot ROMs through MultiROM, use the latest GPU drivers and the custom dalvik patches and kernels you are referring to.

It depends what you wanted. There are pretty rooted stock ROMs as flashable zips. This would be a Mich better (and easier) method than official OTA updates
Buy also, try custom ROMs too. There's a lot of variation out there.
