[Q] How to install CWM Revcovery in Galaxy 3 (5800/5801)

How to install CWM Revcovery in Galaxy 3 (5800/5801)...
My Base ROM is XXJPS (XXJP4).. As Kyrillos' ROM 7.1 has CWM Recovery, I think there is a possibility to install it.
Please let me know how to do it. Thanks in advance.

Hi.. flash g3mod kernel to get CWM ...
flash the lite version if you dont want to overclock

Flash g3mod kernel but if you dont want g3mod kernel just send a pm to mumbozver (who has ported cwm to our phone) and he will give you the recovery installer
ale_bot from xda app

Thanks.. Sure I will try your suggestions...

There are many custom kernels and also CWM custom recovery for them. Just visit the thread download the cwm/kernel>unzip>check the package has ".tar" extension> fire up ODIN and flash as any custom rom

I am now using G3MOD Lite. It works fine.

i flashed DDJP6 prerooted and then flashed the kernel 1.8 extreme but it doesn't have recovery mode?? if i press volume down power and home button it takes to download mode what to do?

[Q] Installing FITDroid v3.2 ROM

Hi everyone.
I'm thinking of installing the FITDroid v3.2 ROM on my FIT (Have 2.3.4 Stock Rom with Root) but I have a question:
In the topic it says the I shoud flash it on the DEODEXED XXKPL ROM FIRMWARE (for better performance), my question is if I can install it since my phone has the XXKPG FIRMWARE.
I read the topic and one user recommended to another to update to XXKPL using Kies but I tried and it said that my phone can't update using Kies.

I think you have to flash original ROM (Froyo 2.1 perhaps??) AND unroot it to update with KIES.
THEN install Fitdroid v3.2
The Matter is the modified appearance to KIES.
Trie it this way: click

Thank's already installed the firmware.
But have another question, on the instructions to install FITDroid it says to use CWM Recovery (which I had before), but the firmware changed the recovery to another (I think it's the original) so my question is if I can install without CWM Recovery and how do I install CWM (the tutorials I found always replace the firmware).

No you cannot install custom ROM such as Fitdroid using the orginal recovery
First install the CWM using odin(You can Do this only if you have 2.3.x it will not work on froyo!)
and then flash the ROM

OK. Already installed CWM and FITDroid.
Just have one question about FITDroid, can I use SetCPU instead of No-Frills CPU Controller to change the frequencies (since SetCPU allows to create profiles)?

Yes you can use SetCPU also
But No frills allows to change I/O scheduler also which is not available in SetCPU

OK, one last thing I just have a problems with FITDroid, whice is sometimes the wireless doen't work properly.
It says that it's connected to my router but when I try to use a brownser, market, etc. it says that there isn't a connection and the only way I found to fix that is to reboot (Which fixes the problem temporarily since after a few hours the same happens). Does anyone know how to fix it or is it a bug on the ROM?

same problem for wifi ..its quite buggy i had experienced too much bug in fitdroid..took me days on flash and reflash , reboot

Flashing Roms doesnt affect your sd card partions but the apps and data in the 2nd partion which is the ext partion should be wiped using wipe data from your recovery (this will be mentioned in the flashing instructions of the rom anyway). And now the kernels, it is not necessary to flash another kernel if you are good with the current one, but if you plan to replace it in future with some other kernel then flash the stock firmware first then root then flash kernel then the custom rom as changing kernels from custom roms sometimes removes superuser access. I hope you are all clear now and anyway, a suggestion..using swap will burn your sd due to frequent read and write cycles.

Thanks! a little more please...

Well.. I would recommend to flash stock firmware then custom kernel then custom rom as 'pre rooted' just means that it got SU app amd its binaries pre installed but the root access really counts on the kernel. Unless the kernel is pre rooted, its better to play safe by flashing custom ketnel before the Rom which will save you from flashing everything again if SU doesn work.

steps to setup Custom Rom !!!

Hi guys
at first thanks for time you spend to read my problam :angel:
i have Samsung Galaxy SL i9003
and i still work on 2.3.6 and i hate it and it's very and super lagy :crying:
i know how to setup stock rom from odin , it's very easy
but i really can't get how setup custom rom
andi don't know any thing about custom rom ,
and hope any one tell me how to do and explan it to me simpely , not good in english
and tell me the best custom rom that i can use it every day and work fine and fast , and get links for me
i speak arabic & i'm not good in english , sorry for my bad english guys

All custom roms for android 4.x have few bugs. So, if you are okay with that, I will suggest installing CM11. It works nice except for few bugs here and there.
But, if you prefer a fully stable rom, you have to stick with android 2.3.6. In that case, I will suggest FlyOnGB rom. Also, you can try doing a factory reset and see if that helps.

FlyOnGB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353292
As for setting up odin, you can use it only to install md5 or tar files. nearly all custom rom are uploaded as zip file, and are to be flashed from recovery mode. You will need to copy the zip file to phone, and boot into recovery using Vol Up + Home + Power key. Of course, you will need to root your phone to go into recovery mode.

Custom roms are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything on them. To root a stock rom, you need to flash the cf-root for that particular rom, and then restart the phone. Use this link to download the cf-root file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
To flash the cf-root file, first you need to flash the stock rom, and restart the phone. Then you can use Odin to flash the cf-root just like you flash a rom.
Google apps are your default android apps (play music, maps, google search and such). You don't need these necessarily, as you can download them from play store too. Few roms have bugs with play store apps, therefore they give you modified version of them in that thread.
If you want to flash the google apps, you can do it just like you do it for custom rom. After installing custom rom, just reboot to recovery mode. Now, select the google apps zip file, and install it the same way you installed the custom rom.
If you are stuck, follow the steps from those link as it is. Use this link for more help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737

Can anyone know any custom rom like S3.I like the way you swipe to the right and you call and swipe to the left to SMS.

Perhaps if you have an older device that is running gingerbread as it is, maybe it is better to use ICS over gingerbread. The triple buffering in jelly bean, although pretty, is quite CPU intensive on an older phone relative to ICS. Or GPU intensive if you decide to run your UI acceleration through the GPU.

Helo Kuro.
I know its been a year since you made the question about a Fast Rom (you asked for ICS).
My advice is to stick to Gingerbread Roms. I safely recommend:
- " Full DDLF2 Rom".
- Deodex the Rom
- Flash CF Root
- Remove Bloatware
- Install good Apps only
- Remove the 90% of the Advertising
ICS; Jelly Bean and Kit Kat Roms may brick your device and it requires advanced knowledge when something goes wrong.
Let me know if you want to do this.
Ill be glad to provide files and teach you howto do it properly.
