About to buy a used GS4G - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

So I'm about to buy a GS4g and have some basic questions
-Can I use the ROMs available for the Vibrant on this phone . I notice there isn't much of a selection here on the development forum ...
-If for some reason I decide to stick with stock what version of gingerbread is the last official release ?
- Does Google Chat work with the FFC?
Thanks in advance guys and happy new year

- No, the Vibrant ROMs will brick your phone if you try to use them. There are some really good ROMs in the Development section here...Octane, Valhalla, and others.

- The latest official GB from Samsung is 2.3.6, also known as KJ6.

Try getting the data working with manual APN settings? Also, CM7 for this phone has a strange issue where call audio doesn't work unless GPS is on. Those issues identical being MIUI is a build of CM7, or is it something unique with this rom?
Just trying to help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yes tried doing that but the ROM would not hold the APN and the GPS trick doesnt seem to work.
Hmm.. Strange. Is this port from the same device the CM7 port is from? Think it working there and not here would help narrow down what's causing it?

Which method should I use to root?

Received my Galaxy S2 Skrocket last week and absolutely. Really fast, and the screen is absolutely amazing. I have been lurking on the forums looking at all the different methods in rooting. The phone shipped with 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.3.6. Haven't been able to do an OTA update either to 2.3.6 so I am just thinking about rooting. Anyone know which one I should use?
Root | CWM | ODIN | SGH-I727 and SGH I727R Skyrocket?
Root [ACS] Skyrocket Easy Root - Windows/Mac/Linux
SuperOneClick v2.3.1 (using zergRush)
S2 Roto v1.5.1 - One click root and UnRoot solution for all Samsung Devices
or DoomLords Easy Rooting Toolkit
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
IF its 2.3.5 do one click root its the best.

[Q] Google Now for Froyo/Gingerbread

There's no need for that mate. There are many stupid questions here, but calling someone stupid is just not necessary.
Wouldnt it need NFC as well?
My bad thinking of wallet...
Unfortunately Honeycomb and below is "dead" development, people are focused on doing more on ICS than anything.
When Eclair rolled out, development stopped on Cupcake and Donut, and now its quite hard to imagine someone still working on those old versions of Android. Well, looks like GB, HC, and Froyo is in that boat.
I suggest you get a new phone. (I need one too. I'm still stuck on gingerbread)

There was a Jellybean port to ARM6 devices tested on Galaxy Gio by some guy, Im sure we can make a Google Now port.
Well coming from a jelly beaned phone, you do need an arm7 and unfortunately, your phone doesn't have one. You can try porting it but it will come out with bugs.

OptimusLove,
This might make you feel better:

I think you would still need to get ICS on your device, but at least your ARM6 is being shown a little love.
I'm still holding out on a gingerbread port of it, though.
How to install Google Now on my rooted Tmobile Galaxy S2 ?
I'm having a T-mobile rooted Galaxy S2 running ICS custom ROM (Jedi Mind Trick V4). I wanted to install Google Now and I hope that is possible in my device. Can someone send me the link, where to look for it ?

I believe Google Now is JellyBean specific. However, it's up to the devs to have it in a flashable zip or apk format for ICS devices.

Ewww...that's disgusting.
But as many people feel, I do not feel that someone will actually take the time to figure out how to do it. Do remember that the framework is VERY different. But I am not losing hope that someone....someone...will take the time and get this working. ICS is not as fast as GB on my phone. However, GNow is enough of a reason for my to flash ICS to my phone every few days.
(OG Evo 4G running Decks ICS - 7.09.12 build flashed with GNow)
So GNow is a ploy to get ppl to just buy new phones, that have ICS or better?
Well that's how I see it, the majority of ppl use gingerbread, why not cater to them gooooooooogle?? Its A shame they keep creating new os's like every year or so when phones last so much longer then that.
Offline dictation should of been available back back well there never should of been a connection dependent voice(voice search, dictation, voice anything from google) or w/e.

Old Good Roms

I'm trying to find some of the old good ROMs and all links seem to be down. Namely I was hoping to find TDJ's darkside sense, faux123's orangeglacier, and any of the gingerbread sense ROMs that were stable. I went back to Royal Ginger a while back and while I love it for the most part, but the camera feels like it uses about 20 pixels to create an image.
Does anyone have these stashed away that could maybe upload them to a file sharing site for me?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Orical might have them. PM him. Also, you might try Insert Coin. It's a pretty good GB Sense ROM. I never had a single issue with it.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
