Hi all! i wanted to start a FAQ thread because im sick of seeing/reading threads like "what is best custom ROM? please help", "need OC help, please help!" and other very useless threads. i come acrcoss these kind of threads almost every day :/ thats why i want to make this thread to minimize the amount of useless threads
red = question color
green = answer color
@please make this thread sticky so it will always remain at the top
FAQ
1.) what ROM is best/stable/battery saver/fastest?
this is the MOST asked question of all time and short answer is: test every available ROM! everybody has their opinion and it is just stupid to make this kind of thread because most likely it is going to end up like this:
user24 says: InDroid is the best use that!
user25 says: lestatious is the best use that!
user26 says: no use kyrillos, its the best!
so DONT post threads like that!
2.) best filesystems to use?
most of the people say its:
stl6 ext4
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
3.) what is the best stock ROM?
almost everybody recommends JPM
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
5.) im from another SG forum and id like to flash SG3 ROM, can i do it? we have very similar specs
you can do it but it wont work!
6.) OMG, help me, kies wont recognize my phone and i cant revert back to official firmware!
Kies wont recognize your phone if its rooted, if you have flashed a custom ROM or if you have flashed unofficial samsung ROM!, so you need to find out what is the official firmware in your country then find that firmware on www.samfirmware.com and flash it via odin
7.) is it dangerous to flash a custom ROM?
Most likely no but remember you are flashing on your own and the risks are still there no matter what
8.) How to root android 2.2 FROYO?
use super1clickRoot, z4root wont work on 2.2!
9.) how do i know if my phone is hard bricked?
you CANT enter recovery, download (using 3 button (power+vol down+home button)) or boot the phone
10.) my phone CAN enter download mode but cant boot, is it soft brick?
yes it is! just flash another ROM and everything should be ok
ill add more FAQ´s later but now i got other things to do oh and also you can suggest different kind of questions and answers you want me to add
also tell me what you think of this thread
ill add links here
- www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm for official and un official firmwares
- http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5800_galaxy_3-3395.php full SG3 specs

then i reply to that thread with CAPS on and say: !READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING! and if they are blind and cant read my text ill PM mod to delete it
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
samsung customer service germany told me yes lol
but is still to be confirmed by other users ^^
anyway I don't understand why people get so mad because of such threads, if you hate them, just ignore them. no one forces you to read or even answer
I don't understand why people can't just use the search option as well. as they would geht their answer faster.
but hey, you're on the internet, not everyone's as smart as you. there are stupid users everywhere

when i get confirmation that we will have 2.3 i will update it but now its most likely a no also im not mad im just stunned because there are mny threads like this and that but nobody even cares to search for them and then they spam the forum... this SHOULD decrease haree's job on this forum, he has many, many other forums that he is in charge and with this thread i hope that his job will become easier and the forums will be cleaner
and because there are some lazy guys who cant/wont use the search tool this will most likely answer thse answers
The search tool is useless, if you get even a work wrong you have to wait 30secs and search again which is kinda pretty lame. So this thread is useful, thanks jazux.

true but now i have created poll (will make it public in a minute ) and it has 29 ROMs and 29 options... i looked trough every page on dev section and listed every ROM that is not closed/dead and with dl link available

not all new roms last long you know..
I'm sure after the rom tutorial was out many new roms came up but lasted for less time..(no specific names please!)
So it wont matter much..
But if a new rom was really awesome and worth the entry in the poll haree could add a option(maybe) or could restart the poll with new option(definitely, this can be done by a mod)
Edit: Nice,jazux you looked for 29! Roms.

my question is "why MARCELLUSBE is still not a recognized developer"...now i know he's too humble and says all these LABELS doesn't bother him...but a little more recognition is necessary..I'm just sayin
Any one has witness this? Mr. Netchip from i9001 forum has already build their cyanogenmod test build today! Where is i9003 one?
(I am not blaming anyone, I would make my very effort in helping any of us who would like to make our phone better, our phone must gain the thing that other have also!)
Things we ought to do to make our phone better:
Cyanogenmod 7 (Can wait until the Final release come up)
MIUI (Somehow we are requesting, but still waiting...)
TV-out (Researching is in progress, but we have to get a more update source for doing it. Gaining other developers support is also very important. May be some developer from Motorola Milestone or LG optimus black can help.)
A complete stable enough kernel, can be overclocked to 1.2 Ghz or more and with some more features. (I believe our phone has enough top-level developer to do this. But the most important things is we must wait for a better and updated stock kernel. I think Samsung will release its forth stable GingerBread ROM in the upcoming days. Probably an Asia ROM.)
I fell confident to our phone because our phone has a potential to be better. We have to gain more support from some other place. I suggest we can co-operate with developers from LG optimus black, they have their oc kernel too. But stable. We have many similarities, both have a chipset TI OMAP 3630, same display resolution, both have open source kernel, also waiting for porting cyanogenmod, miui etc.
Well, talked so much about LG optimus black. At last I hope everyone in i9003 can help together to fight for a better future for our phone...
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
Also, one more thing we should fight for:
Tell everybody in the world, i9003 is different from i9000! We should have a different forum!!!

the i9001 build doesnt work!!
and fyi,they dont even have cwm!!!
Right! i9001 has CM7? I think we need to take a giant leap and port cm7! Let's see what happens! Ther reason why our phon eis not populare is because many people are going for a S or S2 with a cost of only some extra bucks! Our phone is only populare in Asia-Pacific region! We also need experienced Developers! Each and every i9003 XDA user is learning developement! (Which is a very very very good thing!) And , hence, we can soon make our phone better!
Cm7 for i9003!
All developers unite! !!!
A call to arms! !
Sent from my gt-I9003 with A.I. Type
+1
we would build an developers group with i9003 1st, to start...
and i hope others who have much income can do have a donation for this group so that they can buy a beer..
I have an idea. I will be downloading cm7 for i9000. I can see the structure of the file and I can try porting it! I would suggest everybody to download a CWM flashable zip and try this thing out. Also, I will not be availabel until 26th due to some personal reasons. The first thing I begin to do in the morning of September 26th will be to work on the structure and the port. I think, I can run CM7 on a stock CWM kernal! Let's wait and watch! Just wait......And Watch! ;-;
That sounds great!
@ rohan
rohan i really appreciate ur efforts. But galaxy s has complete different file structure & modified kernal than galaxy sl.
I said again & again & still saying that plz dont discuss by creating threads only. Instead of this plz contact cynogen mod developers & convince them to work for us. I really observed one thing that many people on our forum just want thing without any effort. By just writing here that we want CM7 not a single developer will look into ur thread even. If we approach other super developer and literally beg them to help us then @ least they will start to think upon our request. It may be successful or not but at least outer world will come to know the potential & spirit we all people have for our phone.

The dev who's working on the cm7 thing for the i9001 , 'netchip', does NOT own the phone and He's currently got a kernel for sgs2 (which he uses) too..
So i think we should ask him to help us with porting the cyanogen mod to our phone.. What say ??

Maybe we can ask them to help us..
please, somebody with GB, can you tell me if we have the following files in the filesystem:
/system/vendor/* (for example /system/vendor/bin/gpsd, /system/vendor/etc/gps.xml, /system/vendor/lib/hw/gps.aries.so)
/system/lib/libsamsungcamera.so
/radio/modem.bin
I asked it here but nobody answer it...
These files (and many more) need to make CM7 work with our environment

Galaxy Ace got cm7
i9003 deserves cm7
even my old samsung galaxy i5700 got cm7 :/
I tried attempting in doing what I can to get CM7 looked into, problem lies in, Even if we get 90% into completing it, Without a hacked/broken down kernel, there's no way we can enjoy the benefits.
I have seen 2 GT-I9003 installed in http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/.

http://aosp.mikegapinski.cba.pl/?page_id=14
in the above links you can see that ics have been ported to armv6 processor so i think with some hard work of the developers we can get it too
Very interesting! LG Optimus is also Armv6 & the screen shots, progress looks promising..hope someone like Marcellusbe or Hillbeast can look into this project..
For the Galaxy 3, I think it will be far more easier than CM7 because of all the work of marcellusbe (especially for the device config).
Even me, with my limited knowledge of device porting, managed to build AOSP ICS yesterday.
Check the CM7 development thread, Apollo and marcellusbe successful boot ICS.
very interresting, my wife has that phone hehe so ill keep an eye on that thread. thnx.
Dont know (yet) about aosp, but i gave a try to cm9, and it comes up with a lot of errors.
I'll try on with aosp today, see if it's easier to compile for the time...
Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude
thanks ! Synching repo now...
I know marcellusbe and apollo (and maybe hillbeast too) successfully compiled it for our phone, but dont know if it's booting properly...

I tried both. But there are the same errors. (quite easy to fix though)
If you want I'll help you to fix them.
For AOSP, you have to modify a bit the device config before starting the compilation.
After, when you'll try to boot ICS, you'll need a custom kernel because BOOTCLASSPATH (in the init.rc) has changed. If you want, I'll upload my custom version of g3mod which supports ICS, GB and Froyo.
But I think we should move to the "official" thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361827&page=6
I fixed couple of errors on cm9 yesterday , but i wanted to try on aosp, see if it was cleaner !
Thanks a lot for your help, i accept with great pleasure.
I'd love to post in the dev section, but i've not reached the 10 posts limit, so i'm condemned to stay here a bit longer...
No worries, i'll come asap

you mean it works ?? if so you can release/upload a .tar file (odin) so we all can try c9 with ics... ,. and yupp ( cm9 = 100 X stock ics )
It needs a lot of fixes (i'm stuck at the audio part in aosp) before having something really usable.
Lots of people way more clever than i am are also working on that, so maybe someone will find a fix...

take more time to read and you'll see there is a pre-alpha version available, but it's not ready for daily use. yes, it won't be official, but if it's done, then it's done. there are other ways to get parts of ics on our phone already. go look around a bit

You need to provide source code. You also need to provide information stating that you have permission to redistribute someone else's work.
Once that is obtained I'll allow the link to return
I believe we've had some issues with ics and the 9003 today and anymore threads about it will be locked until it's all cleared up.
Oh and also don't create another post sharing that file, you've been warned.
this is a theme ported by tarunagg which was apparently closed because of the issue b/w tarunagg and the man who created this theme and this guy(sandeepsivia) has gone mad over that

Every developer would do it if it was that a easy task.
If you want it, You gain it.
Try to do it yourself!
And, I am not Mocking on you because you created this. No, please!
I am just telling you, most of the DEVS. are upto some or the other thing.
And, If you see, Samsung is RE-VIEWING their decision.
Our phone MAY get ICS!
*Ta Dun Ta daaaa*
ICS
This phone IS getting ICS, but in the form of a lite version.
Anyone that thinks the 9003 has got the balls to run full blown ICS has been smoking something, It cant and wont, be like running windows 7 on a sempron 200, come on.
Like the man said, its all been worked on, be patient, im sure the guys here will do their best to scale down ICS to a comfortable degree to enable operation on our phones.

I thought S7500's was the same case as S5830's regarding the "L" thing...
In S5830L it means it's distributed in Latin America, but hardware is the same as S5830. The official CM for Galaxy Ace (cooper) is for S5830. I still have S5830L, installed CM on it and it worked. Only thing is, it changed the device name from S5830L to S5830. And also I asked that because since I live in Latin America the only Ace Plus I can get is S7500L.
Are you actually porting from Xperia instead of building?
And where can I find the S7500L kernel repository you ask?
thats change in build.prop u can make again L
and without kernel mods it may work on ur mob
So, if this ends working all, can you make one for S7500L? Or can I just use the current one one for L?

update im taking a risk im gonna create a kernel that has posiibility to boot as well as brick
will update again in 2days
Since Mini 2 is running on the same chip, the kernel for Mini 2 is also compatible with Ace Plus. I just needs an updated defconfig.
Someone on Ace Plus do:
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
Upload the file somewhere and post the link here. I will make a defconfig so you can build kernel.
ohh thanx bro
wait for 2 days

What "official sources" do you need in order for CM10 kernel to support overclocking? (I could use my time to look for it since I'm just a useless user....)
That'd be an almost imperative feature, and if you say "make it yourself and f*** off", well, sorry for not being developers like you (registration on this site should be restricted to dev-only...); or also that's why you *are* the devs and are announcing this possible work so we are indeed allowed to expect things from you...
Or, sorry for not being A D U L T devs like you. I can't express what I think about most of adults (most, not all) here because of the forum rules......

well overclocking is possible
we will look into it later first we are trying making kernel stable
and control yoour self
he asked will the 1st versio support oc
thats not possible because we want to boot perfectly (thats possible when we make a kernel with no tweaks and few mods)
