Okay people I just bought this phone and I'm coming from MyTouch 4G. I've been reading for the past 2 days about how to flash a SGS4G and honestly,..it's crazy! Little overwhelming to be Honest...to the point, I rooted my phone with Superoneclick, I have superuser, so I know it's rooted. Plus, I have Titanium Backup running on my phone. Everything is still FACTORY SET on the phone. It is running 2.2.1 Froyo. I did read about Froyo udate zip CWM and recovery and have downloaded them. My question is since I want to flash A Rom does it have to be Froyo only? If there is such a thing?? Or can it be Gingerbread 2.3.6? And is there anything else I need to download? I know I have to follow to the tee on the OP that the Dev. says to do. I just want to be sure exactly what I need to do..

Follow my gb starter pack guide. There is a link in my forum signature.
That looks crazy!!!...If that is my only option(s) than I'll read throughly and hopefully I make no mistakes. Thank You for your response.

The GB starter pack would be the way to go if you want to update to GB and a custom rom if you need any help just send a PM

The gb ext4 starter pack saved me alot of headache when I first got this phone. Hands down it is the best way to go. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly. Its guides like this and the people that make them that make XDA so great.
I'm new to it as well and like you are saying, it's overwhelming to root and flash on this phone. But I followed the GB starter pack the other day and included the Vahalla Final rom as my choice and everything worked great. Some things actually happened a hair different than described and I thought it screwed up but it worked.
But I think I just screwed up trying to do a restore

I'm on the same boat as the OP, I have a mytouch 4g and my cousin is about to upgrade soon, so she offered to sell me her galaxy s 4g for $75 so I'm gonna take up on it.
I've been spying on the forums here and have noticed that most of your guys' roms are gingerbread roms, (i didn't really bother to search, for I don't know for sure I'll keep this phone or sell both my mt4g and this new phone for a galaxy s ii), but anyways, I saw something about porting roms from the other galaxy phones, am I right?
I haven't seen any ics roms here yet, but I took a look at the vibrant forums and it appears they have an ics rom and i was wondering would porting the ics rom from the vibrant be possible if I wanted to try. Thanks

It is a touchy subject in this forum. I would leave it alone. The kernel isn't there yet but the devs are working hard to make it happen for the community!

But I'm sure the roms you guys have are very stable, right?
And so I'm guessing porting isn't easy for this phone?

Most will tell you if you want a rom ported do it yourself. The devs are working on what they are working on. It isn't really our place as end-users to make request (my opinion of course) rather be grateful for all the awesome **** they have done and are working on. So no... it isn't easy.
And yes --> We have some fantastic ROMS.

Yea, I kinda got a feeling it was a do it yourself community here cause I went into the dev section and was like dang you guys don't really have a lot of choices, but then I went to the vibrant's dev section and they have a lot just like the phone I have now.
What phone is easiest to port from for the galaxy s 4g, I'm thinking the vibrant but idk

Lol, I don't know what I'm doing but I'm willing to learn.
Hello all,
Just got the Skyrocket about a month ago, it's rooted, but just got into the idea of installing anew ROM/Kernel and decided to try out UnNamed, then possibly install Faux123's Kernel.
I booted to CWM (5.0.2.6), backed up, wiped, wiped cache and tried to install from zip, but the install fails with Status 1. I have searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything about it. I am currently restoring the NANDroid backup I made prior to attempting to flash so I can use my phone.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated as I am brand new to the Android scene.
Chris
Where did you get the rom from?

This ROM is for the I777, correct? Why would you put it on a I727? It would be nice if a version would come out for the I727.
SMH.....
and we wonder why manufacturers want to lock down the devices....
There's your problem...

No need to be rude. I made a simple mistake. At least I had the common sense to back up first so it's not like I'm in a bad situation.
Well, back to researching other ROMs then.

Before I discovered XDA I started on Google and a lot of results came up for UnNamed and the Skyrocket like someone tagged the site/post/whatever incorrectly. As far as the research goes I want to look at what the different ROMs have to offer, any complaints or issues users are experiencing with them, etc. to make a decision as to which one I would like to install. Same thing with Kernels.
Chris
Anybody know of any stable (daily drivers) ICS ROMs? My roommate has the Epic Touch and he is running an ICS ROM and looks clean! Its an ICS ROM with T-Wiz. Just wanted to know if there was anything like that for the Skyrocket yet!?
Thanks!
If you would read the threads in development you would know the answer is no

I have been reading the forums for the past couple days and didn't see anything myself, just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask and see if someone knew something I didn't.
Apparently that was too much. Thanks anyway

Hey guys, I have a question. Yes I searched before posting this. So I am having an issue with the one click odin ICS leak. It used to work fine but now whenever you press the home button it has a slow reaction and slightly weaker vibration. The other buttons work fine. I did a factory reset but that didnt fix it. I reinstalled the whole ics from odin. That didnt fix it. Its not the phone because it works fine on other roms. The home button still works but it has a slow reaction and weaker vibration. Thanks so much to whoever can help me!

One thing you must understand is that your using a leak which isn't official software. Aka can't expect everything to be perfect. Have you tried another leak?

In an attempt to be helpful and to prevent the derailing of this thread:
I BELIEVE this has been an issue on many stock implementations of ics.
I vaguely remember talking about this stuff on the first leak. So, it would make sense that using a different rom would fix the issue as our devs are savvy to such things.

People like Eli have to start with baby steps. He goes into the dev forums and mucks up so many threads by increasing the post count it becomes very hard to get back to the reason the dev forum exist. He should read the stickies and try to understand what he's reading and Google the words he doesn't, ya its hard but its not our fault he doesn't understand English which is what this forum is written in, he has to try harder, not the other way around.......sorry for babbling

I told him to do so, so he could go to completely another forum (not XDA) and ask this noob question there, where nobody knows him.
Now you get it?
It would be very funny experience for him to find out what other people on other frums know about SGS4 or phone flashing at all.
I would probably get people telling me off and not wanting to teach me... Happens a lot on these forums, luckily the constant S4 questions have kind of died down here and people like myst tend to point them in the right direction instead of just making a fuss about it.
Why not just report it and move on?
Anyhow, congrats on new device, go forth & make it great like you did for sgs4g..
