[Q] Samsung galaxy s i9000 noob asking

Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!

1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.

1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone

thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help

I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD

frankly speaking its ALMOST useless to use custom roms on Tablets.... cause most of the GOOD developers who make the roms for tablets like CHARCK, dont own the tablet so now development... so stick with the stock...
AND GUYS FORGET THAT SAMMY WOULD RELEASE JELLY BEAN OFFICIALLY FOR NOTE 10.1 BEFORE NEXT YEAR....! im selling my note 10.1 to get nexus 10 when its available...

Again we see this happening dear Aami if you want to sell the tab you are most welcome to do so its your choice but can please show proof for your statement that the JB update wont be available until next year please dont speculate and turn away others.

I enjoy redemption

It is basicly a themed version of stock with some stuff added in. I enjoy it

[Q] Question about custom ROM developing (Help is needed)

Hello!
I am an AndroNoob and haven't done much. I just have rooted my phone, used odin twice and tried to get cyanogenmod. I have got the Samsung Galaxy Xcover (GT-S5690) and i really would like to have android 4.0+ on it or even run 4.0+ apps on it. After about 5 days of searching a custom ROM that works good and is android 4.0+, i decided to make my own one. I just want to ask you, is it possible to use android kitchen or something to just get the original rom from sammobile or some other place and just make it be ics/jb or get likes 4.0+ firmware for galaxy ace or something and make it work with my xcover? And if so, how easy will it be (Should i even start using/wasting my time on it)? And last if possible i would like to have the samsung style android
And i would be so happy if i can get it done, get my xcover run ics/jb!
Thanks for any help and sorry for my bad english.

[Q] Question Android 4.4

Hi, look I'm new in this page and I have a Samsung Galaxy Core I8260, and I want to know how to install the Android 4.4 version?
I was looking for doing with cyanogenmod, can anyone help me please?? :angel::angel:
THANKS!!

There is no 4.4 for galaxy core...only modified stock ROMs.not even 4.2
Cm11 have lot of bugs.

It's a LOT of work.
The drivers for Galaxy Core hardware don't even exist in the newer kernels anymore.
If so many guys want it done by some, at least part time, consider pooling your money.
Asking nicely does nothing, as it's hard, specialized, intellectual work, and not a day of it at that.

[Completed] [Q] Samsung galaxy S5 reboot problem

I recently flashed Liquidsmooth v4.0 2015-03-17 android version 5.0.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F. The first few days it worked great, I loved the ROM and the performance. But recently when I've been using it, it's rebooting every other minute, sometimes I don't even have time to write in my PIN-Code. This is obviously a huge problem and renders my phone pretty much useless, so unless you guys can help me I'm gonna have to change back to a stock ROM. I don't know if what I have is enough information, but I will answer questions as good as I can.
Thanks in advance!
