I have i9003 with Froyo 2.2.1 that i want to upgrade to gingerbread.
Q1. Which version of gingerbread is less buggy 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 because i saw threads that XXKPQ 2.3.6 has camera bugs?
Q2. I downloaded XXKPQ from here is it ok and will i be able to upgrade future updates from Kies and can i root it?
Q3. If iam installing custom ROM or kernels that are available here on XDA will i be able to upgrade future updates from Kies?
Q4. Can i downgrade my firmware to 2.2.1 if i dont like the gingerbread or having some problems with it?
Q5. Will my applications move if i upgrade?
I will be thankful to you guys if you can help me in this

Hey bro pls search the forum before posting new threads
And ive used xxkpq and had no probs...and since it has most mods and themes id recommend you to go with it...
First you will have to flash xxkpe ONLY then fladh xxkpq or your phone will bootloop..
Yes you will b able to get update from kies
Yes you can root xxkpq
If you install custom roms and kernels you will not b able to upgrade via kies but you can always revert to stock xxkpq and upgrade
Yes you can always downgrade to 2.2.1
Yes you will lose all your data including contancts msgs and applications so make a backup of your contacts
And pls next time search the forum as all these questions have been answered

I can also said that kpq has no bugs at all when it comes to camera!
Lucasred, XXKPQ camera has no bugs but the problem is its video recording. Dark video recording, Brightness/Contrast has no effect on recording whatsoever. Video recording indoor is worst compare to XXKPE
I think the Video recording thing has to do with the settings or might be due to the auto brightness compensation algorithm for the stock camera app.

Rooting can be done by flashing CF-ROOT for your firmware or Amit's Universal CF-ROOT. Custom Roms are customised roms which normally include enhancements and tweaks and are generally pre-rooted. Right now you are on Indian GB, but you can try out stock XXKPQ(2.3.6) which is the latest or Cranium/Galaxy v5 which are custom roms. All instructions are given in the development section... go through them.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!
Hello guys,
I am reading about flashing,rooting, installing cROMS, and so many things in this forum. Frankly speaking i am totally confused!
Currently I am using Stock rom of samsung , I am on 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Code:
PDA:I9003DDKP2
Phone: I9003DDKP4
CSC: I9003ODDKPH
earlier My phone was on Froyo, when I upgraded using KIES to 2.3.6 my phone has became smoother, but I don't know what is issue with battery life.
In 1 hour time span on GPRS+Display ON+surfing it drains like 10% + battery.
I tried battery calibration. I have never factory reset phone yet. I used an app called battery calibrator from market.
I drained my whole battery and recharged it to 100% .. and so on.. but still I am facing same issue.
I have root my galaxy SL i9003 using DoomLord's tool kit.
Actually now I want to try some other cROMs , Firmwares. Wherever I am having a look at any cROM thread I find pre-requisite as some other base ROMs.
Now can anybody tell me how do I install any other cROM compatible with the above build. I am really newbie when it comes to flashing and all. So please can anyone of you help me and let me understand what I should do to install some other ROM, and I am downloading GalaxySL DDKP2 stock rom, so if any problem occurs how do I reflash with original stock rom?
Some guidance is really appreciated.
I am totally
Please help me out

Try crom poseidon and uc kernel. You have to follow this. Xxkpe-xxkpq-uc kernel-poseidon rom. Battery calibration is a myth. Most mods now are based on xxkpq so I advice you to have an xxkpq based crom.
I am having 2+ days of battery life with uc kernel and poseidon.
Thanks for reply
@earldroid thank you for reply. Another thing i want to ask if I want to go back to original Stock ROM then how do I do it?

Sorry if i have asked a repeated question but even after searching i didnt got any answer.. I dont want brick my phone... Some Slangs i came across while reading development forum...

it's batter that you don't install the rom if you don't know anythink.. it's batter that you wait for a stable relase ..
but if you want you can make it :
1 root your phone with cf root.. find it on the android development theard and follow the instruction ..
2 install any custom rom based on gingerbread aviable for your gingerbread version.. for example if you are on xxkpq install a rom based on xxkpq but not cyanogen or miui...(they are based on 2.3.7)
3 flash the alpha 3 on the rom... (before you make it wipe data and chace)
if you want backup your apps and games make it after the first step(when your phone is rooted) with titanium backup...
hit thanks if i helped you ;D

Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA
to install the xxkpq(you can see your actually firmwere in settings-->about phone) you have to go to the android development and there is a theard with all the firmweres there you can download the xxkpq version and flash it with odin to flash with odin you put it in the pda of odin but if you serach it with google i'm sure you can find some more specific guide in your language

i think it's better to flash a custom rom because so your sistem has ext4 partition and all the ather features that havn't a stock roms

Hi all,
I have currently installed ICS CM9 (Dhiru) on my SL i9003. There are a few issues ( tethering, Camera) which make me think of returning back to Gingerbread.
Can someone suggest me what I should do to safely come back to GB ? If possible pls give suggestions on the best ROMs to use ?

Why back to GB! Why not upgrade to JB of loSco's qwerty rom or Xgamers rom of Lolation?? These r good enough for daily usage..

I want to downgrade to gingerbread too, for app development purpose. As far as I know the android gingerbread emulator won't support gle20 and google play services, so I have to test it on a physical gingerbread.
agree there are great ROMs available for i9003. but if u still want to go to 2.3.6 , follow the
