WoW!! nice to see a sticky for both general and Q&A for i9003

Hey nice to see this sticky here!
Anyways anyone having a problem with the official twitter app 2.1.2? If I use it for too long sometimes it restarts the phone, and I know it cant be anything else because it never happens other than while using twitter. Has happened twice to me last night and once today.

Well. Then nice to have an improvement. We can at least have a separated topic. But to have a totally separated forum is our ULTIMATE target.

Any idea when i9003 get official GB update for india??

Hi, please follow this instruction thread carefully. First flash XXKPE as described. Then, update to XXKPH. This should solve your problems.

Whew.. Ive noticed more and more users of this phone.. I hope. We have our own thread.. Because some developera like cyanogen yeam cant see our phone development.. And our phone cant even fit for any i9000 roms and kernel and even accesories e.g. Casings.. Tsktsk.. Just asking for your understanding op..

hi freinds i need themes for my I9003 rom jpkp5 this:
NeonGT

Steel Blue
please and help me how i can edit themes ex: xxkph to jpkp5 and edit farmwork.apk......
thank's

Well, our phone is developing. It is a slow developer indeed! Our phone got a custom ROM after some months of it's release,whereas, the s2 got it;s first custom ROM just after 2 days of it's release? Fair or what? Plus, it seems that possibly Ice-cream sandwitch will not be given to our phone! If this thing is true, Samsung is gonna get it from the i9003 users! I think we should work sincerely on certain developements and all the users in XDA who wanna just make their phone 'nice-loooking' should stop making question threads. For example, Even thought htere is a thread for Q&A I see many questions in the devel. area! I think we gotta keep it clean for dev. only! The first step to be taken users! Then, I will also work on some CM7 and all!

For small request dont request by creating new thread. Its really annoying. I think really we should have theme section saperately. Because there are many unwanted requests related to theme only. Plz moderator take this seriously & make a new section for theme.

I will ask for help because this firmware does not have too many theme and thanks

Think the themes are made for XXKPH and they work fine with your FW..! Try it out and then tell me how it went about! B-)

These are already made for XXKPH and I think they can also work for JPKP5. They are the same firmware. Only thing is Arabic support is added. Just have a CWM-flashable theme in your SD card and try out the XXKPH version. If you are stuck into a boot loop, then, you can go to the recovery and flash the theme again! and , make sure your backup the theme made for your phone in the external SD card. ALso, make sure that the theme is a CWM-flashable zip!

[Q] Information for my knowledge

Hello all,
Please bare with me here.
I'm new to this.. and prolly gonna screw up on the questions and get flamed..
anyways,
I've been reading about this ROM, Flashing... and stuff... kinda, didn't get them ( lol ).. but maybe this way it will be clear for me...
anyways,
I read the latest rom thread.. and kind of didn't see mine .. so I'm a bit confused..
I did the latest upgrade on my i9003 from kies so now I have this:
PDA :I9003JPKPE
Phone :I9003JXKP3
CSC c :I9003OJPKPC
above from the *#1234#
Below from about phone
Firmware Version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version : I9003JXKP3
Karnel Version : 2.6.35.7-CL811961 [email protected] #1
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.JPKPE
so mine will be JXKP3 right?
that covers number 1 for me
-----
2nd, I'm kind of interested in trying to mod a rom so If i want to mod my current rom... - if i can - I'll need a special prog. to pack it up and extract it for me?
or I only can download a stock rom and edit it...?
-----
3rd I9003XXKPH .. seems to pop up everywhere I try to read about the i9003.
so it is .. the best rom to mod?
-----
4th my main idea about the mod-rom, gonna be just to change the way it shows to me (theme) and change the status bar... if I dun really misunderstood it...
and remove unused apk that came from samsung...
and replace the ones that I dun like... and already kind of replaced ... from alternatives from the market..
but still my phone kind of ... lag/glitch a bit ..
so I'm looking into this...
that is all I could think of... in these 3mins of writing ....

2. Yea just flash a stock rom and get doin.

To remove apps and **** which u don't use , use Root Explorer (u need to be rooted) and remove the apks from /system/app

Galaxy S2 HD LTE i757m Bell 4.0.4 ICS Root/ Downgrade

Hey Guys,
I currently have this phone and have installed the 4.0.4 ICS update from Bell. However, I just realized that I am not able to install CWM on this 4.0.4 which is very disappointing. I tried to follow the rooting procedure but I kept encountering stock boot which does now allow me to install ZIP for root/super user. One of my buddy told me that I have to downgrade. Can anybody confirm that. It seems like all the rooting procedures are only for gingerbread 2.3.4-2.3.6. If anybody can help me, much appreciated. Thx in advance

It will not work (someone correct me if im wrong) because you have the HD LTE version and this forum is for just the LTE version.

But the skyrocket is basically the HD LTE without the HD screen, these two devices are crosslisted and always mentioned in the same discussions.

Not sure if the same applies to SR HD but I would lean towrd it's similar ...
Use ODIN to flash CWM recovery (use .tar format NOT .img = search the development section "sk8.... recovery")..Check only auto reboot in ODIN and click PDA tab and point the browser toward the .tar recovery then click start ... It will reboot automatically ...
Reboot again into recovery and install the zip for rooting , reboot , open SU and update as it asks you , you're done
See Vincom's thread about all that....It's sticky in SR forums development ..
Hit Thanks if I helped you , an idiot was bragging on me on how many thanks he has compaired to his posts count forgetting that , unfortunately ,too many douches are here on the forums like himself(he has a sig like McDonald's billboard on the interstate saying "Hit thanks button" ...

you just need to downgrade back to the stock GB rom and then load the cwm and it will work perfectly, thats what happen to me this morning.

Maybe I need to refrain responding here for SGH-i757m, but please refer the the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707126

i try to go from GB to JB and bricked my phone....

i have no idea what to do......

is it boot looping or stuck at the samsung screen?
You can not flash directly from GB to JB, you need to flash an ICS ROM after GB.
I suggest looking through the Dev section and finding an odin package with root and CWM and starting from there.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
youre gonna wanna do either option C or D, then, i would flash remics UX, bradman has some solid instructions in his thread, then from there you flash JB. GB to JB will always cause boot loops

You gotta help us help you.....sorry to say but this is a terrible thread at thread/op at the moment....sorry if that is harsh or offensive....but if you want help we need to know
-what is the current problem...not turning on, boot looping, stuck on Samsung logo...etc
-what you've done so far...anything you've flashed, modded etc
-as much info as possible!
I try to go from GB to jb, I have no idea what to do is a TERRIBLE way to ask for help...
Not to mention a simple search will find you the answer...we have a very nice guide by Andros on how to properly get to jb...I suggest using the search feature to find it...that is part of the forum rules after all...to search before asking

[Q] SAMSUNG GT I9003 Firmware

*********THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON ANY FORUM SO PLZ LET ME KNOW IF I COMMIT ANY MISTAKE********

After browsing some fourms, websites i did flashing (although this was my first time)and i was able to flash it.
(i am not sure whether i did it in correct manner or not) but phone reboot within a while,so i was wondering if
you guys can plz suggest me some other appropriate PDA,PHONE,CSC files which is much more stable.
so i can update the version of android 2.3.6
AND YES I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED OTHER THREADS BUT NO LUCK.:crying:
BY STABLE I MEANS IF THERE IS A BUG THEN THERE SHOULD BE A WALKTHROUGH
and yes i know bit of LINUX ,BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME I AM TRYING TO OVERWRITE MY PHONE

what do you mean by "phone reboot within awhile"? Is it that the phone keep rebooting itself?
well.. I am a newbie too but I have flashed my phone more than 100 times I guess, keep trying on XDA developers' custom ROM (because they are way better than SAMSUNG stock rom)
I think there is no such ROM as most stable or appropriate here, every ROM has its own feature(some might be laggy or buggy though) so the best way to find out which 1 most suit your needs is to test them out. You can read through the threads in Development forum, there are many ROMs there from XDA developers. See some review and comments to find the ROM best suits your needs, and follow exactly the installation guide then you should be able to flash your phone without worry
Im currently using [4.1.2] JellyBam ☄ v3.1.0 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] by Lolation, very smooth and kinda good battery life too
good luck flashing~ =)
