[Q] Samdung Galaxy S (and my options)

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!
Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...
Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!
All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)
The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman
The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire
I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)
Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!
Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....
P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!
Thanks in advance

I don't know much about the galaxy s, but you might be better off asking this in the Galaxy S forum.

newbee needs advice rooting please

Hi i just got my new galaxy s 2 its running android version2.3.3 gingerbread version I9100BVKG2 what do i need to root this phone if someone could please help me.Im very new to android i used to be iphone user but jumped ship any help please

i thought gs2 already rooted by default and you can install any compatible rom straightly.
please refer to sgs2 thread.

So my phone is already rooted

Hey pnr2020...you better high-tail it on outta here!!! This particular forum reads..."No noobs!" and "no device-specific questions". As a fellow noob who has stumbled on his .... here near hamburg in the German droid forums, these guys mean business! Go watch one episode of Dexter! Be scared...be very scared! Meet you in Noobland where we belong!
There are really smart superusers here who, in a fit of either generosity or self-hate, troll the noob section, take lots of aspirin, and answer our classic noob questions like, "If my phone is already rooted, should i wait till fall to pull it out?"

sorry dont want to piss people off where do i post then

that will do the trick mate. good luck

[SHOCKED] Even i9001 has already build their cyanogenmod! Where is the i9003 one?

Any one has witness this? Mr. Netchip from i9001 forum has already build their cyanogenmod test build today! Where is i9003 one?
(I am not blaming anyone, I would make my very effort in helping any of us who would like to make our phone better, our phone must gain the thing that other have also!)
Things we ought to do to make our phone better:
Cyanogenmod 7 (Can wait until the Final release come up)
MIUI (Somehow we are requesting, but still waiting...)
TV-out (Researching is in progress, but we have to get a more update source for doing it. Gaining other developers support is also very important. May be some developer from Motorola Milestone or LG optimus black can help.)
A complete stable enough kernel, can be overclocked to 1.2 Ghz or more and with some more features. (I believe our phone has enough top-level developer to do this. But the most important things is we must wait for a better and updated stock kernel. I think Samsung will release its forth stable GingerBread ROM in the upcoming days. Probably an Asia ROM.)
I fell confident to our phone because our phone has a potential to be better. We have to gain more support from some other place. I suggest we can co-operate with developers from LG optimus black, they have their oc kernel too. But stable. We have many similarities, both have a chipset TI OMAP 3630, same display resolution, both have open source kernel, also waiting for porting cyanogenmod, miui etc.
Well, talked so much about LG optimus black. At last I hope everyone in i9003 can help together to fight for a better future for our phone...

Also, one more thing we should fight for:
Tell everybody in the world, i9003 is different from i9000! We should have a different forum!!!

the i9001 build doesnt work!!
and fyi,they dont even have cwm!!!

Right! i9001 has CM7? I think we need to take a giant leap and port cm7! Let's see what happens! Ther reason why our phon eis not populare is because many people are going for a S or S2 with a cost of only some extra bucks! Our phone is only populare in Asia-Pacific region! We also need experienced Developers! Each and every i9003 XDA user is learning developement! (Which is a very very very good thing!) And , hence, we can soon make our phone better!

Cm7 for i9003!
All developers unite! !!!
A call to arms! !

we would build an developers group with i9003 1st, to start...
and i hope others who have much income can do have a donation for this group so that they can buy a beer..

I have an idea. I will be downloading cm7 for i9000. I can see the structure of the file and I can try porting it! I would suggest everybody to download a CWM flashable zip and try this thing out. Also, I will not be availabel until 26th due to some personal reasons. The first thing I begin to do in the morning of September 26th will be to work on the structure and the port. I think, I can run CM7 on a stock CWM kernal! Let's wait and watch! Just wait......And Watch! ;-;

That sounds great!

@ rohan
rohan i really appreciate ur efforts. But galaxy s has complete different file structure & modified kernal than galaxy sl.
I said again & again & still saying that plz dont discuss by creating threads only. Instead of this plz contact cynogen mod developers & convince them to work for us. I really observed one thing that many people on our forum just want thing without any effort. By just writing here that we want CM7 not a single developer will look into ur thread even. If we approach other super developer and literally beg them to help us then @ least they will start to think upon our request. It may be successful or not but at least outer world will come to know the potential & spirit we all people have for our phone.

The dev who's working on the cm7 thing for the i9001 , 'netchip', does NOT own the phone and He's currently got a kernel for sgs2 (which he uses) too..
So i think we should ask him to help us with porting the cyanogen mod to our phone.. What say ??

please, somebody with GB, can you tell me if we have the following files in the filesystem:

/system/lib/libsamsungcamera.so
/radio/modem.bin
I asked it here but nobody answer it...
These files (and many more) need to make CM7 work with our environment

glad to see other users bothered just like me wanting CM7, wish i had experience in these things to help or do something, but glad am not alone \o/, hope we get our CM7 soon!

Our phone needs a proper rom atm

Galaxy Ace got cm7
i9003 deserves cm7
even my old samsung galaxy i5700 got cm7 :/

I tried attempting in doing what I can to get CM7 looked into, problem lies in, Even if we get 90% into completing it, Without a hacked/broken down kernel, there's no way we can enjoy the benefits.

I have seen 2 GT-I9003 installed in http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/.
I think someone trying to do.

[HELP] We need support for i9103 "Galaxy R"

Hi all;
I want to talk to you about the GALAXY R or i9103.
Is a version of SII with tegra 2 and slightly lower specs in terms of camera, storage and conectivity.
However this i9103 is much closer to SII than to the S plus, so why should we avoid the possibility of enjoying the root and ROMS?
I just want that people would be a little bit concerned about this great phone, so any help will be appreciated , if anyone knows who would be happy to help us with this just let me know. Im sure CM,Or other talented people can help us.
Thank You.
EDIT: It took more than 2 months to get our galaxy R forum here, so very proud owned of SGR. And thanks to the admins.

+1 Need supp.

Agree. It's a shame that a phone like this can´t be root.
Thanks to those who can help.

please some dev help us

Guys, do you know how can i root Galaxy R? i've been searching for days, i found 1 but its only for asian rom. i need your assistance.....thanks in advance!

hello guys
this is my first post on the forum
i wana buy myself my first android device in the form of a samsung galaxy r (coming from good old symbians)
now what i see from this and other forums is that there aint much support from hackers/modders/cookers for this particular model
also samsung hasent announced any plans to bring ics to galaxy r
hence i am leaning towards the galaxy s plus coz even if samsung dosent release the official ics i am sure to get an custom ics rom for it.
should i go for the r or the s plus???
also will i get worse backup times with the r in comparison to s plus as the r has the same battery as the s plus but a larger screen and that too slcd?

Hi
I will try to do my best to help, because I'm having this beautiful device too
and i all ready hacking it around what i want to do is to make a real raw backup of roms and etc, before doing real development on it and i can help in development of kernel and hardware related staff i'm, sorry i new to android rom cooking and etc, but i like hacking and if i will find good manual about it i will be too able to help, the main thing is the kernel which was open sourced by Samsung (2.6.36.2 but device i own has 2.6.36.3) so if we want to improve it i has some experience with Nokia N900 (had it before but now only SGR) i'm also a java dev by occupation and had experience in android application development bun not much and with old android 1.6 but this is not a big problem )

Android Update for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - Suggestions and How-to

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?

Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recting-samsung-tab-2-10-1-att-i497-t4079993/.
