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.

Start a poll let users decide the best rom(though there is no best rom, its just + and - from each other)

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.

hello guys, im new here and i really need some help please
i have a i9003 for almost a year now and i was a bit hesitant before to root because of warranty
it was just lately that i tried it
my problem is this
i installed "[CF-ROOT][UNIVERSAL][I9003] CF-Root and CWM5 for I9003 Gingerbread (All versions)" by amit.bagaria
seems like im already rooted after
but my question arises on the "tweaks" option that come with it
im curious if i should check all the boxes on it then apply the changes
or for a better understanding i want to know all the information on those tweaks and what it really does "advantages and disadvantages of each tweak"
i know its too much to ask from you guys but i want to fully understand what im doing
i did some search but its quite hard for a noob like me
i wish there was a sticky on it in our i9003 sections
Mate, use the UC v9! That's very easy & works gud, besides it has gud OC & governors too! And, No need to tick all the settings in the TWEAKS APP!
☞★sent from drajax's Galaxy SL!!! *♂ツ Hit thanz if I helped!
thanks for the reply, i was also hoping of better information about the tweaks so i can choose which ones to check or not
and i want to learn first before going deeper on testing other kernels

You can choose all.
But, You wont find REAL improvement.
You may find the AnTuTu or Quadrant go a bit high thats it.
Kernels are a better option for optimization and smoothing of the phone
Hi, i'm newbie on this forum, i have already done all stuffs like S-OFF and upgrading the software... I saw that the ARHD is the best rom, so i want to install it. There is SebastianFM, faux123, bricked (which i read on the forum that is great) and the stock one, but i don't know why choose one instead of the other.. I mean, are there real differences between them? Can someone explain me them? The problem is that everyone says that's what they have is better than the other, but better for what? Also, there are writed a lot of technical details that i don't understand...
I hope u got what i mean, thanks in advance for the answers..

I think that SebastianFM is closer to stock so it's a bit more stable,faux123 is a bit performance oriented so the battery may not last as much as in other kernels and bricked lets you customize lots of options so you can make a good balance between performance and battery life,at least from my experience but from what i've been reading here it depends a lot on the person,some might have issues with a particular kernel while others find it perfect,so the best thing to do is try all of them and see which one doesn't cause any problems and is the most stable for you,and be careful to wipe cache+dalvik before flashing them.
hey ace+'s
this is the a jb discussion thread for ace plus
reserved
well im discussing 1st here , to inspire some noobs to make roms
well adding features is secondary , but cooking a rom must be known for that i advice the guide given by lokesh it would help every noob
porting is later but you should know to cook rom from kitchen
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?

hey i said 100 times im releasing a rom based like xperia
you get me huuuh
its not cm10
cm10 later will take much time
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
as my modem is off
n i cybercafe doesnt have even a single pc with ubuntu

noo
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......
Thanks.

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)
