Be nice: first post; I did look around.
Been using CM9 for a few days and want to try Valhalla B.
Any issue with just flasing down?
Heimdall - One click, yes or no?
Any particular flavor of Valhalla?
Thanks in advance.:cyclops:
One click back, Valhalla is a GB rom btw. I would wait till he is done updating it to flash.

Valhalla, in its various incarnations, is a nice ROM. I used FB's spin on it when I was running GB. If you wanted to see what it is like, you can go ahead and try one. The are pretty stable.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
From the deleoper section, what Valhalla ROM?
Do I need to go back to stock from being on CM9 ICS.
Thanks
@Je_ne_sais_quoi
1. White's Original Valhalla, Raver's Valhalla Black or FB's Valhalla Black Spin.
2. For the million-nth time... Use a One Click, either thomas' Gremlin Remover or eollie's Heimdall Stock KJ6 + Root to downgrade from ICS to GB, then flash any GB ROM following OP's instructions.
Just in case your next question is going to be "Which one you recommend?", I recommend all so try all and then decide. White's is stock and the other are themed and moded.
Thanks, chris31jct
After 5 hours of searching, I can't seem to get into CWM download mode on Samsung SGH-T959V and the latest Android 4.0.4. and CM 9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL in order to run Heimdall's one click to go back stock.
My CWM is 6.0.1.2 .
I know this is been said before.
Is there no sticky for going back
Thanks.
To get into download mode turn off the phone, then while holding both volume buttons connect it to pc.
Yellow triangle should come up.
The thread you're looking for is here.

Thanks, TwitchyEye, and all others who answered.
I'll give that a go. Nice to know how that easter egg works.
Main reason to try Valhalla BE was the poor performance of battery on CM9, and my reception doesn't seem that good.
I may just have a bad CM9 load or modem load. I looking for any update there.
On CM9:
I killed the DSP app and the google apps running and it appears better.
I might ride this pony for a week and see how it goes before trying Valhalla BE.
Really nice to try different ROMs.
Back burner, and, simmer this one.

What rom in yalls opinions is the best?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I just went back to the ICBINB rom with my own custom UOT theme after trying the new gingerbread leak. GB was ok, but ICBINB has ALL the tweeks, and the UV bali kernal for awesome battery life and performance.
When more GB roms come out with tweeks, I'll flash back, but right now, Froyo is doing great for me with icbinb.
As with anything, it's all about preference...
I personally like ICBINB, as I don't use my phone as a music player much... If music via your phone is more you I'd suggest one the audiophile roms, for the sound tweaks that were incorporated in the rom.
Both off these TeamAcid roms have all the latest tweaks available and they're easy to flash, so you can test drive them all then pick the one that best suits you.
Hope this helps!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
ICBINB is the easiest ROM to flash here and also one of the best, because it already has all the tweaks built in there already.
Then again, if you want to play around with tweaks and stuff more, you can always flash the other ROMs, which are still wonderful.
Really any of them. Theyre all fantastic. Although i would have to say it would be ICBINB, Audiophile, Black Ice, Frost

I would say if you're new to flashing, stay away from Black Ice for a bit, lol. It is still the most difficult ROM to flash out of all anyways. I would say Bionix Frost is really the easiest though. It was the first one I flashed.
I dont know why everyone is getting these problems with Black Ice, i never had one and i loved frost but the white is a battery burner

Yup, I gotta agree with you on that. Black Ice gave me problems the first night, but after careful reading the next day, I flashed it perfectly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the dull look of it, so I went back to Bionix Frost right afterwards, LOL! Bionix Frost would be my second favorite ROM after ICBINB though.
I gotta say ICBINB has done the best for me. It is noob friendly(I'm a noob) and has all the latest tweaks and mods that you need. Also providing insane battery life and smoothness with little to no bugs. ICBINB, thanks to Team Acid, is the best choice at the moment in my opinion! My two cents yo!
My top roms I love;
Black Ice
Trigger 0.4 or 0.5
ICBINB
Audiophile
Of course Whitehawk's deodex kd1

if she is going to be far, then stock rom is best. If she ever has a problem with her phone, she can take it to the cell phone vendor to troubleshoot. if it has a custom ROM, they might not help her.
I'd say stick to stock KD1 rom with root and get titanium backup app, so she can uninstall bloatware and back up her apps.

thanks for your helpful reply.
I agree with you,its best to have stock rom for troubleshooting.
I will install stock rom .
In my experimentation,i found that undervolted bali kernel is giving me nice battery back up.
can i have stock kd1 with this kernel bali 3.3 undervolted.?
When I got this phone a few weeks ago I immediately flashed Black Ice, then went with AudioPhile, for FroYo roms those are the best IMO. Once the 2.3.4 leak came out I flashed that ran it until today with no issues. Flashed the Deodexed kg6 from Whitehawk today and it's been fine as well. Only reason I changed from the leak to this was I felt the urge to flash something new.

yes, if you have a rooted stock rom, you can install CWM recovery, and flash the bali kernel.
So everyone is excited about KH1 I see, well.
I now have a fully functional deodexed KH1 breed. And now, why not make it look AOSP. As maker of GBTHEME, I am trying to integrate as much GB as possible into this rom. Also it will be there tonight or tomorrow.
Problems right now, Settings has an issue.

there's an explanation why they have these codes. i know for a fact that K = 2011 and the letters after that signifies the month. so H = August. I guess the number is the build number.

Yeah, that's correct. I remembered reading about that on the Vibrant forum. Mind-blowing stuff, lol. The number is the revision though.
KG6, for example, means out was built in July 2011, sixth revision.

I you are referring to me, why? I just wan't to know.
Is it possible for you to make an Odin version of this rom? It would really save a lot of steps in installing. Right now I can't get the gb bootloaders off the phone and trying to load ICBINB on top of a stock odin results in the phone hanging at bootup. The only way to get CWM on gb is by way of dr. honk's KG4 kernel odined on top of a gb install.
You must have the dr. honk kernel. Then you flash using recovery, then you can reflash the khi kernel.
I'm sorry, I looked inside an odin tar and it must be a bit more difficult to compile those four or five big installation files. A CWM file is easier to mix and match as I found out just now by following the suggestion and sticking the zimage from dr. honk's kernel in whitehawk's deodexed KH1. I thought for sure the phone would freeze but it didnt! That explains the preference for CWM. Maybe I can get a stable gb with CWM on there after all.

You can mix and match using Heimdall. I'm thinking of switching to that instead of using Odin... It's been more reliable in some testing I've done recently, plus it works on other OSes besides Windows.
If you want to flash back to Froyo bootloaders, try this release:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129933
Raver added the bootloaders to it so you can install other Froyo ROMs afterward.
I'm new too the Androids got my frist SGS-4G like a few days ago and its going great but the bat life is meh drains soo fast so was looking around sites for new FW updates nothing so i found out you can flash GB too it Wich i did im on GB 2.3.3 and found out that there is a problem with the wifi and a few things now im trying too flash cyanogenmod 7.1 too it because people say its GB 2.3.4 so now what im looking for is the files and a step by step on how too install so far i have Odin3 v1.85.

Well welcome to sgs4g, the wifi is a issue on all GB releases at the current.
A for cm7... Not available at the moment though there are developers working on it.
Word to the wise, and not so wise, do NOT flash anything not specifically make for this phone.
Most of the newer roms are based on gb... So once you settle on the custom rom of your liken and calibrate your battery you'll notice improved battery life, just keep in kind it will take a couple of days for the battery to settle in after you install the rom.
Hope this helps.

Browse around the Android Development thread. I would strongly suggest to start reading the guides like "converting ext4 on gingerbread" by dsexton or the "ext4 starter pack" because those will help you get started and they are VERY important. Follow those directions carefully and read up on the troubleshooting and you'll flash the ROMs with no hassle.
As for the ROMs, there are quite a few on 2.3.4. The latest ones are ICBINB variants (KG4, KH1, KH2, etc) by Team Acid, Audiophile by Raver, and the most recent one, Valhalla by Whitehawkx.
Ah im not big on the roms still a noob at that just trying too get the normal GB 2.3.4 and later work on doing custom roms.
ok i found GB 2.3.4 but now i cant go in too download mode
I had trouble with this at first. They changed the sequence. Unplug the cable. Hold down volume up and volume down, and while holding them down plug in the cable. That will trigger dowload mode.

Alright, so I've always been a bit confused about this whole phone modding thing and I usually just follow the instructions on the given ROM I want. I forgot what ROM and process I did a few months ago but since then, it has been slowing down and freezing alot lately so I'm looking to update it once again. Is there something I should do to my phone before I go from my current custom rom to another custom rom? I was also wondering what is an overall good rom/kernal that you would recommend, I've heard good thing about Valhalla v1.3.2 but it seems that KJ1 just came out and is much better.
Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S 4g (Bought it the day it came out)
Model Number: SGH-T959V

Baseband Version: T959VUVKF2
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF2-CL277147
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKF2
Not sure if it matters but all my phone info is above.

To the OP, get rid of kf2 as soon as you can!!! that's the worst GB ROM ever. Battery drains really fast.
Any ROM would be good for you, you should however get valhalla 1.3.2 (wiping all your /data) and set it up to get ready for next valhalla update, which should be out soon, and flashing it won't mess up with your installed apps.
I think you should install kg4 first via Odin, just to be sure you get proper GB bootloaders and avoid bootloops later.
Good luck

GET RID OF KF2. KF2 has a potential to brick your phone. It has a different way of getting into Download mode and has no recovery. Press volume up and power only to get into download mode. Flash KG4 to get right bootloaders.
Flash KJ1.

Taking the kiss approach since my brother is not that tech savvy and my goal is to find the most stable rom for him (his answer to bugs is bro fix this now!!!) Lol he did want ics cause he saw mine but idk how stable the ics roms for the infuse is yet so I got reading to do. Guess he'll just have to put up with att crap a day or two longer.

If you can use heimdall, the simplest way is to put the phone into download mode and flash my uclb3 stock package or adam outler's stock package.
The second post in each op contains the insecure kernel. These kernels are also flashed in download mode. Once these custom kernels are flashed, you can boot into CWM and then flash the custom firmware you want.
If you are familiar with Odin, check out some of jscott30's thread. He has several Odin premade rooted firmware package that are also very nice.
Once you have the firmware you want, Zen has cooked up a few kernels that can overclock at 1400 or 1600. These will provide quite a bit of speed over stock kernels.
