[Q] Something fun with S8000?

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S, and I am wondering if you guys would know anything fun to do with a Samsung Jet S8000.
I installed Android from a project called JetDroid, and its pretty nice to have it on the phone, even if it isnt functional as a phone while in Android mode. I'm just wondering if there are any other similar projects out there.
I did a search for similar topics, but it seems that the Jet was a really unpopular phone as I cant find much info about it online.
Well, it was very limited (just a basic phone that happened to run Java2E). Not as smart as its advertising considering it was advertised as "Smater than a smartphone". But the base hardware is pretty nice.
Thank in advance for any replies

Nice to see other s8000 user here.
I still use my Jet today and im still waiting for usable Jetdroid version.
This device was very good for its time and the SoC plus RAM it as can run Android better than the current low end Android devices out there. Its a shame that Samsung dind at least upgrade the OS on the Jet to Bada OS.
Also samy drop support (updates) for it too soon imo.
As a multimedia device it is still pretty usefull...

Hey. Yeah I still use my jet as my second phone when abroad.
I saw a lower end android device ( vodafone smart -comparing 2008 hardware to 2011) and even thought the jet has a hugely unoptimised android install, still ran more smoothly in terms of gui compared to the vodafone smart... but also crashes a lot and was hard to install.
Pity Samsung rarely support their devices which are more than 2 years old. Even now my sgs is not going to get an official ICS update. (Not concerned as I have not used a stock Samsung firmware on a ling time).

Samy drop the suport for theyr products too soon
The Jet as a better SoC than my wife Ideos X3 (huawei) and a longuer battery life (running the stock OS).
Also the Jet does video call out of the box and the low end Android devices do not (and i cant understand why because many of them have front cameras).
i've tried Jetdroid but its not a viable option yet... :'(

Hi Folks
I've just been given a broken s8000,
The digitizer has failed (screen still works fine). I've not physically opened it up yet so It could of just come loose, either way they're about £5 off ebay so It will be functioning again and
it does look like a very promising device to have a play around with. like has been mentioned, better than some current low end devices.
For anyone who's interested I've just done spent an hour get up to speed on development of the JetDroid project, because lets be honest, That's where the fun's at.
I first found http://code.google.com/p/jetdroid/ which made it looks like the project has been abandoned. This google code project yielded better results.
There's probably an "executive" overview of the project some that I've missed I did also notice that HTC Sense had been ported to It, I don't know whether they ported the bloat with it as well. Lol
Still no sim access from what I can gather as of they Status update on 2012-01-24 Is that correct?

Yes that's right. It works OK as an android device but no phone function at all yet.
When I get home, I will link the jetdroid forums. From what I can tell, everything is happening behind the scenes so there isn't much on the lines of public updates.

Ay, I found the forums and gathered that myself, The activity is intermittent but the lastest kernel was released in April so it's still current.
Although I keep reading that JetDroid isn't finished, they've been at it 2 years.
I think i'll ask the devs the technicalities of the sim issue. I'll at least have a stab at it. I'll probably fail and fail hard but I could do with knowing a bit more about simcard internals.

I guess it has something to do with how the jet handles the sim card. From my reading about it, its done in a propriety way, which makes sense cause the whole system was written around a touch wizard complete os.
So its likely going to need lots of reverse engineering. Much like the ril module on an i9000 was reverse engineered in order to get ril functions to work due to lack of sources.
I personally have no ability when it comes to this type if hardware coding. If the jet has more users interested in installing android, I think it would have already happened.
I definitely look forward for whatever breakthrough might happen.

I recently updated the firmware on my Jet. I used a guide here http://darkforestgroup.com/forum/index.php/topic,7464.0.html
I installed the Firmware using the guide there and a program called Multiloader_V5.62 which I downloaded from the site.
I had to google to find the correct firmware because many of the download links on the site no longer work and a couple I tried kept forcing shutting the phone down when on a call I'm now using version S8000XPJA1 which is working fine. I found it by googling for it. Beware of 'dodgy' down load sites though
Also I'm in the UK and I think the country you are in affects which firmware you should use so check first.
Goodluck

[Q] Type of Galaxy Matter?

Hello everyone,
I am probably going to be upgrading to the galaxy siii in 3 days or so and I am just making sure that it doesn't matter what type of Galaxy siii I get, for example the white vs. the blue one, wil that make a difference in terms of rooting and flashing aoskp?
Also would you guys recommend getting the nexus or the siii? I really do not want touchwiz so I will be flashing cm10 or aoskp asap... Would you say they are stable enough for everyday use at the moment?
Thanks,
Ljbaumer

The color doesn't matter. What matters is the model number which will vary depending on the carrier. The S3 is definitely a superior phone hardware wise. CM10/AOSP/AOKP is not stable enough for everyday use IN MY OPINION.

I know for a fact that I will be sticking with Verizon on this upgrade (that should work?), what isn't working with stock android at the moment for the sgs3?
The main deciding factor for me is really just if some version of aosp (stable-ish) is working for the phone because I cannot stand touchwiz.

The unofficial CM10 builds are mostly working, and lots of folks will call them daily drivers. At the moment, as far as I know, there are some issues with MMS and handoffs between 3g and 4g. MHL-out might not be working either. Beyond that, CM10 is in pretty good shape.
You have some good options for TW-based ROMS, too. Between debloated ROMs, third-party launchers and lock screens, AOSP versions of apps like Messaging, and modded notification shades, you can pretty much hide or replace most of what you'll see of TW. It works quite well if the remaining CM10 bugs are deal-breakers.

Once you disable the wifi notification the stock rom is more than good. None of the custom roms IMO are up to snuff to bother flashing. I'm sure people will say otherwise but the GS3 has very minimal bloat. Doesn't even need rooted YET.

The Synergy ROM is great. I also do not like TW but am using a different launcher (Apex) and everything is working fine. The color does not matter but I have noticed a bunch of posts from people wanting to trade their blues for whites...

Thanks for all of the information guys,
MMS is not very important for me (SMS is) and I don't really have a problem with having issues with switching between 4g and 3g, but what is 'MHL-out'?
Also are there any good step by step rooting, installing recovery, etc guides out there that someone can link me to? I am coming from Motorola and HTC phones and I am completely unfamiliar with how Samsung phones are set up... for example, do we need to bootstrap this since the phone has a locked bootloader?

If you check in the Development section for the samsung galaxy s3, you can see many rooting methods. I personally used the one by Noxious Ninja, because it was fast, effective, and was convenient because I flashed AOKP immediately. If you are planning on using a custom rom with a custom kernel, you will need to use a kernel with KEXEC support. Through a couple reboots, it will successfully enable you to use roms that support it.
AOKP in my opinion was super stable once I cleared up the data issues manually. I used it for a long time as a daily driver and it worked really well. The only reason I switched to SynergyROM was because I was trying to try something on my S3.
EDIT: Oh yeah, MHL-Out is the interface for outputting video from the S3 to say a television.

Thanks yosterwp,
If I were to use AOKP do I need to be running a custom kernel or can I run the stock kernel?
If I don't change the kernel should I be able to OC?

If you were using aokp, all you would need to do is to get a KEXEC recovery, and then flash aokp rom and gapps like you normally would. And BAM! You should be running AOKP. No custom kernels to flash on your part, as AOKP includes its own kernel.
Just note that since you are using a custom kernel, your s3 will appear to bootloop (or restart many times), but that is okay as you will eventually land in unicorn utopia.
EDIT: As for OC'ing, I believe by accident, the developer had left the rom overclocking to 1.9GHz by default, you may want to lower that.

Alright, thank you for the warning about the accidentally OC'ed CPU.
Will SetCPU work fine for changing the processor speeds on the SGS3 or will I need a different type of OC'ing application?
Also what is your opinion on Paranoid Android? It looks quite cool in my opinion but I am not sure if I would like it better than CM10 or AOKP. I guess the only way to know is to try it out!
Thanks again,
Ljbaumer

Yes set cpu will work for regulating over clock.I have used paranoid on galaxy nexus and loved it.I havent tried it out on my s3 yet tho.I have liked the jelly bean Rom that's out for this phone so it maybe another option for ya also.

Quick question, I just got the SGS3 about an hour ago, will rooting with "i535VRLG1" work? Or am I screwed?

Why continue to flash new Roms?

I'm certain this has been brought up before Several thousand times, but I gotta ask again...What is it that drives people to constantly flash new Roms/updates every couple days or even weeks?
I have been running cleanRom 3.0 and having no issues, no bugs, GREAT battery life. Why would I change that? I know CleanRom 5.0 has come out, but what would be the point to update if 3.0 is working perfectly and spot on?
Is it that people get bored?
Is it that people wonder what is different?
just makes me wonder.

Im guilty of this myself. I believe a rooted debloated with a theme of your choice is the way to go
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple

see whats different, see customizations, battery life, other random usually rom exclusive features.
ive probably flashed 75% of the roms available for this device just to see what theyre all about.
it helps me help other people, and helps me make my device my own.
most of the times its out of boredom and i restore my daily driver rom

Because updates to the ROM = possibly better phone

I prefer stability but I like changing stuff on my phone. I'll stay on a rom for a few weeks and not change a thing but the entire time I'll want to flash something even if I have no reason too smh Ultimately, I'm just not satisfied with what ships out the box.

I used to flash weekly with my OG droid, over the years I have slowed down to once a month or so. I have 4 android devices so thats still a lot of flashing. I am always in search of the perfect rom, haha whatever that may be. faster, smoother, bells and whistles. I don't even know.

To have the latest and greatest rom.

Bug fixes and improvements. Plain and simple.

I've been trying to find the best Rom for what I do every day, but there are always little problems that bug me on every Rom. I damaged Clean Rom 5.0 and have finally stopped the daily flashing. This is as close as I well get to the prefect Rom.
Sent from my sexy phone using XDA Premium

And I get what everyone has said. BUT for those of us that prefer performance (i.e. great battery life, no issues/bugs, fast speeds) over "new'ness", once you find a Rom that gives you the best of all worlds, why would you even worry about the latest? I have been on CleanRom 3.0 for since a couple weeks after it came out. ONLY reason I went to it was because I wasn't happy with the 4 Roms I tried before. Those 4 Roms I tried prior all had bugs or poor battery life that I wasn't happy with. Now that I am Happy with EVERYTHING, I dont plan on changing.
And don't get me wrong here, I know that just because I am satisfied and not wanting to flash doesn't mean that others will be content with that. Nobody needs to tell me that. I'm not trying to debate, just trying to see how others here think.

Because it is great to see the capability of your device by exploring different roms and it is so darn addicting.

Because the majority of us here at XDA who root our phones and flash ROMs are tech junkies. Technology is like a drug to many of us. We are never content and always need the next fix, whatever the latest and greatest may be.
CleanROM 5.0 is built on the latest Jelly Bean leak, which has many improvements over the Ice Cream Sandwich base that CleanROM 3.0 is built on.

mmmmm rom flashing!!!!

I'm like you in that I don't want to potentially compromise the stability and functionality of my phone without significant incentive. For me the incentive was new functionality and increased performance. I've only flashed three roms other than stock.
CleanROM 3.1 was the first ROM I flashed, and as you said, it's stable with great battery life and pretty smooth. The smooth operation of my phone is what made me cautious about jumping to the first JB leak. Instead I kept track of the CR, stock leak, and Jelly Beans threads and read up on the bugs and issues.
Ultimately what I was reading about Google Now and Project Butter made me realize that I really wanted Jelly Bean and the few known issues in JB leak #2 were not enough to stop me from flashing Jelly Beans Build 2. I don't regret that decision, Jelly Beans is a cool rom with a nice AOSP theme, ran really smooth, and generally gave me good battery life (depending on what I was running). Also Google Now is really really cool.
Then I was reading about AOSP roms like LiquidSmooth RC9 and SlimBeans 3.1 that were about the come out. It seems like those teams had dedicated developers who were squashing existing bugs. With the remaining bugs pretty much known, but the ROMs otherwise stable I decided to give LiquidSmooth a shot. The motivation here was to really rid myself of all the stuff Samsung had running in the background, with touchwiz it seems like there are a million things classified under "Android System" when trying to diagnose a battery drain. With AOSP when I look at battery stats Screen and Cellular Calls are the only apps that really make a dent. I also like the clean styling, functionality, and flexibility of the AOSP lockscreen and UI in general.
Unless I encounter any other problems I will probably wait for a stable AOSP 4.2.1 rom to come out so I can try the new features there and hopefully some bug fixes for the bluetooth audio issues in 4.1.2.

I m coming from a tbolt i now have a verizon s3(unrooted so far) n I m guilty of "being in search of a perfect rom". What drove me to search was claims of better battery life, quicker and stable. What drove me back to my daily driver(skyraider) was frequent reboots( while googlemaps), applications not working(slingbox in particular ) inability to view video(live streams from my church).
I m currently doing research for the perfect rom for my S3 as I just activated the s3 yesterday (n I'm missing having a rooted phone) and I m resisting the urge to root!

If everything works it just means you aren't running the latest and greatest.
You must tweak your phone until something breaks.

[Q] Why we don't have more custom roms for our p6200/6210 device's?

I am sorry if this is stupid noob question, but why we don't have many custom roms since that our device's sharing same exynos 4210 hardware, like Samsung galaxy SII?
I own SII for myself and there is every day something new in development thread, and here nothing
My P 6200 is crying for fix WiFi problem and some great custom rom :crying:

I have been using Android since it was released and have collected various devices. This is just me, there is nothing better than stock rooted and tweaked rom. Just debloat the rom and you will be ok. My P6210 is amazingly fast with NO error or any single issues. I got both apple and Samsung products and my P3113 and my P6210 are my main tab. It is a must for me to go stock rooted and tweaked. Just me.
Cheers

I always asked myself the ssame question too... but it turns out we dont hhave so many devs here and this device wasn't a hit like the S series from samsung. Making custom roms isn't so hard but it needs alot of learning if ur a biggener. I tried making custom roms myself but what else do u need from a custom rom if you already have CM9, cm10, paranoid android and soon to be AOKP? But who knows we might see new stuff I mean I bought this tab before there was even a functional cm9 build and I was thinking of selling it. But it pulled through aand I must say his device is rock solid we just need to nail the wifi issue.

I had wifi problems as well on stock ics (UK version).
It all disappeared when I flashed the US version, give it a try...
This said, cm, aokp and stuff are nice but not stable enough for my taste yet, I don't like bugs (I am not a very patient character) and for me so far there's nothing like a good home tweaked, rooted and deodexed stock ics rom.
When cm10 is completely stable then I will eagerly flash it, I check xda every day waiting for that day to come

I have actually did a lot of things with the ICS stock rooted but never have wifi issues. Anywhere I go with wifi access, I never have problems or any issues. Would it be router related? With my P3113, its fine but with my YP-G70, there was. I have to install another stock rom to solve it. Otherwise, everything works fine with me. These products are actually very nice IMHO. I'm just waiting for the JB update for my P6210 and P3113, if there will be.

Early in ANdroid the stock ROMs were often terrible and there was a lot of room to make easy improvements. Now the stock ROMs are really quite good and there is not much that can be improved on easily. IF you like a different style you have the CM based ROMs with some UI differences but not much in the way of performance improvements and you lose stability and some hardware features like IR Remote. Even with the Nexus, by the time some individual developer takes the time to customize a ROM, Google has new features out in the stock ROM so its just not worth it to build from scratch.
SO called debloating is mostly a placebo because the new devices like this tab have lots of memory and apps you don;t use aren't doing anything or taking resources.
Curious to know if you have found anything unique and useful in SII development. TO me it seems like all retreads of repackaged stock or CM based stuff with a few different apps from samsung or sony thrown in for good measure.

Stock rom is full with unneeded application.
Custom rom bring more speed and space.
I'm currently running custom rom based on JB leak on my Samsung SII, which is full with super functions from S3 and Note 2. Above all that rom is great for daily use For me that is enough

Does this phone just hate custom ROMs?

I don't see many options here. Mostly stock roms in this forum topic. I had a ton of problems with boot loops and such and just couldn't get anything to work. OTAs still force a bootloop sequence unless I zero out: "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc". I just disabled the notification for them and everything is fine now, but I was wondering if there was any point to using anything other than the stock ROM.
I kept root and just removed TMO bloatware. The 4.4.2 stock ROM seems pretty damn fast, but I have nothing to compare it too. I'm basically just trying to decide if it's even worth it to attempt another ROM install. Are there any real advantages to any of the other ROMs out there over stock? I'm looking for stability above all else, then speed. Features I don't really care about.

yeah wifi calling is irrelevant to me, but frankly this stock ROM is amazing compared to the performance of my Relay 4G.... H/W keyboard android phones RIP.

I have the Intl version which sports more custom roms but they are all the same more or less.... im on stock KK too even though i was a die hard software updater (had 5.1.1 on previous Nexus 4).
Have to agree with you this phone hates modding and is really feeble, it will get bricked quite easy unlike the Nexus 4 which can take a lot of abuse

Try the new cloudy rom. It's a port from LG G4 with various elements.

why dont you guys check in the G2 Android Development. most roms cover all variants there.

For me CynaogenMod's Privacy Guard feature is a must-have on any Android phone. But right now I'm finding that the official CM12 nightlies seems to screw up the modem settings for my local carrier here in Canda (Wind), so I lose access to the service. Constructive suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
