Hi all,
I need help deciding which custom ROM to flash to my i9003, but i want one that has full Arabic support and a good camera firmware. If possible, please post images of ROMs you recommend, any help is appreciated
Good camera- gingerbread has dim video recording, so choose a froyo custom rom. Maybe cranium 3.1(I tink its froyo, not sure) and should have Arabic(again, I'm not sure). Check out the android dev section for that rom, and also I believe you can add Arabic patch to any cRom.

hello mate,
Well if you not interested in video record, I suggest for you Cyanogenmod 7 it is so smooth and stable with some issue that can be fixed soon, like video record, apps can't use mic.
this is my chose
and have fun
@bscraze Thanks for your response. Ive been reading a little about Cranium 3.1, and i'm about to flash it but i had a question related to the instructions given by sakindia123:
he says clean flash to XXKPH, so can i flash to JPKP5 instead? it is exactly the same version of gb but just different region (language)
maybe anyone can answer my question without having to start a new thread over it
thanks..

I don't think so, there's no reason not flash to xxkph, unless you're sim locked. If you still want to try, go ahead, I'm not sure weather it will work. If it doesn't you can always reflash, as it will result in a soft brick at most

cranium is GB, not froyo. don't flash the rom without upgrading to GB first. (I see that was mentioned that you know it's GB, so just a warning...). in addition, if you haven't seen it yet and you want to use push mail notification, GB has a bug on all ROMs that keeps it from working properly. if you don't need it, then flash away!

The reason i dont want to flash to xxkph is that it doesnt support Arabic :/

Actually i do need the push mail notification, but i hate the Froyo keyboard, copy/paste options and some other things.. bottom line: i'll stick to GB (thanks for warning)
BUT i want it custom GB (i chose Cranium) and i'm facing the language issue mentioned above

Other popular custom roms include titanium s(IMO it's good) and poseidons rom(many people use this rom) or cranium 5.1.

I'm pretty sure that Cranium doesnt support Arabic so i moved on to try CyanogenMod7.. what do u think?? CyanogenMod7 or poseidons??

Well they both have Arabic patch, just that I'm not sure if its preinstalled in cm7. Cm7 has dsp manager which is good, Poseidon I'm not sure if it has dsp manager. Its really personal preference, for me I prefer cm7. Poseidon just wasnt for me . If you try and you feel it doesnt suit your taste, then switch. Right now I love miui so much I haven't switched roms ever since I flashed it, though im aa flashaholic and flash a lot of roms in the past for my android phones

Remember to do a full wipe before and after flashing(for safety) and you may want to flash a custom kernel after that, maybe xda bam or uc kernel, and remember to wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the kernel.
Remember that if you can't boot your phone but can access download mode, don't panic, just do a reflash. Eg. Reflash kpq.
PS. I recommend uc kernel v9 2009 or 1009 or 3009 if your phone can handle the overclock. Also, custom roms are definitely better than stock roms have fun flashing

Did u mean DXKP9????
how to choose custom roms
Guys,
I have seen lot of custom roms listed on XDA but still dont understand which 1 to choose from. m thinking of update XXKPQ 2.3.6. Any idea if its stable or can it provide with better customisation.
Thanks

Hi, I have Razodroid 1.0 on 2.3.4....I want to know if it possible to flash razodroid 3.0 directly over it without updating to 2.3.6
Yes you can flash v3 directly over v1 with baseband 2.3.4. But do wipe data before flashing v3. And its better if you flash it on 2.3.6. Why dont you have v2.3.6?
Press THANKS if i helped you
Thanks for the quick reply.....I changed to razodroid 1.0 and was pretty happy with it so i din't bother to change to 2.3.6....but now i wanna try out the new ui on 3.0..btw is 2.3.6 better in anyway? i read reviews saying it was not good...IS it advisable to change to 2.3.6 before flashing?
Yes 2.3.6 is better. If u want to upgrade to 2.3.6 then download DDKT3 firmware not DDKT1. . Razodroid v3 will give u better performance on DDKT3 2.3.6 than 2.3.4. Happy flashing
Press THANKS if i helped you
By the way I have DDKQ5......I should still be able to change to 2.3.6 right? One last thing all my games can be backed up and retrieved using Titanium Back up pro right?
Yes u can flash DDKT3 on DDKQ5. And do a batch backup of all your apps.
Press THANKS if i helped you
My opinion, ddkq5 is better than ddkt3 (not in looks though)...
And I flashed v3 on kq5, so no problem with that...

Isn't kpq as a base before proceed to Poseidon rom? I already flash Poseidon rom with kpu but when u dial *#1234#, the baseband is unknown
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA
Yes its based on XXKPQ but i tired it with KPU before coz i read that its better w/ KPU.
EDIT- but if you encountered some bugs repeat the method til XXKPQ then flash poseidon.

Because standard rom is clubbed with lots of applications which are useless and not only take your space but ram too.....most of the custom roms are stripped version and available only after rooting...which will help you to get 'administrative' rights as in case of windows PC.
so you can even decide initial start up !!!!
the design of the stock rom makes me flash it again..

I do it just for a change and to try out different features and looks, that custom ROMs provide. JMHO
hi guys.
I have problems when installing certain custom ROMS using CWM acording to the Baseband used.
Don't Know why, but when I wanted to install VURRUT KPU again (i had done it several times) Screen keeps on the first image of SAMSUNG SCL I9003 and nothing happens.
I tried to use another custom ROM based on LF2, and when I install it via CWM, it does the same thing, the only difference is that the phone reboots and comes back again to the same SAMSUNG screen.
My phone is galaxy SCL I9003L but i've never had problems installing those ROMs.. It's very strange.
Please if someone could explain me if there is a reason why it's happening this, tell me, i'm a bit scared, using Stock FROYO I9003LUBKB1.
Thanks
Because your'e still in FROYO. Upgrade it first to gingerbread. See my post. General Guide for noobies.

Oh so ur phone is i9003L!
I think u can try the qwerty Rom, as far as I remember once LoSco (rom dev) told that his rom can also be used for Argentine version of SL i.e; Galaxy SL i9003L.
To confirm, just ask in that thread once then go for flashing it if he says yes.
Hope this helps u.
