[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
1. Root

2. Install Uninstaller for Root (or Titanium)

3. Uninstall pre-installed Swype

4. Get swype with any languages you need (register in Swype Beta, or just google for it)

5. Enjoy any language on Swype on any firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siddjazz:
The picture links aren't right. the procedure is fairly simple.

1. Make sure kies (the latest version, 2.0.0.11032_12 i think) isn't running.

2. Run kies reg patcher 1.8

3. Select XEU assuming you want the UK ROM.

4. If you already have 2.2.1 you can safely spoof the software revision as I9000XXJPY/I9000OXAJPY/I9000XXJPY/I9000XXJPY. This will not remind you about the JPY upgrade again. (This step may not be required. Can't confirm yet.)

5. Wait!

You do not need to meddle with anything on the phone. Unless you know how to revert back if things go sour.

I myself am waiting for the release, will confirm once i get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] downunder30:
By the look of thing's people there's no battery drain problems on this Gingerbread rom for me. tested only with facebook, with push updates, twitter, speedtest app's
[Galaxy S I9000 General] longshort:
:) Helped... Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gammelgustav:
It was clear that TW4 won't come to our sgs (maybe there will be a port ;) ) the g-maps rotation problem has nothing to do with samsung (you can fix it -> search)

and the crt-animation is NOT a gingerbread feature it is only for the Nexus S

Thank Google (and Samsung) for this update and don't try to find small negative points :D

Hi,

Is integrated VOIP-SIP working? I'm currently on jvk and this would be the deciding factor if I am going to upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] downunder30:
There no integrated VOIP-SIP that i can see :Z
[Galaxy S I9000 General] senotrius:
no no...i already know its rfs..i was replying to the question for need of lagfix for the latest firmware...gingerbread and still rfs..thought ext was better...although others post there's no need for any lagfix at all for this release..

:rolleyes: doesnt aosp gingerbread use ext system.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zs6wdl:
According to android it must be under call settings.

This was something that I was waiting for a long time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] downunder30:
Yeahh nope no VOIP-SIP maybe in Ice cream AKA android 2.4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DjAbu:
Iphone gets new interface updates even thoug new model of iPhones comes,am I right?

why samsung just couldn't add TW4 in this update. Some hardware issue/differences..?

Leaked gingerbread had screen off animation. It was disabled default by samsung.

Which release is he talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceanth:
Didnt work for me. It said there was an update but then when the phone gets "prepaired" it tells me that the latest version is already installed.

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siddjazz:
which version are you running and what update does it say is available?

did you spoof the ROM version too?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceanth:
Ok, i have a UK 2.2.1 with build number FROYO.XXJPY

I select XEU in the patcher and put in the following:

I9000XXJPY/I9000OXAJPY/I9000XXJPY/I9000XXJPY

KIES now tells me that my device is up-to-date.

What settings should I be using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I don't understand, supercurio says the SGS2's version of gingerbread will be ext4, so why isn't it this on our device? (makes absolutely no sense)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cytherean:
It's funny cause it's true
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
How true?!.... How "hours" ... took me 30 mins to restore everything + more (backlight fix :P, thank you alelas!) http://goo.gl/G1Sdd

If it takes hours, you are doing it wrong :D

(and I dont see any improvement at all :P)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cytherean:
Hi Pagot,

I was referring to the uncontrollable "need" to flash and how people have to justify it instead of just trying it. :)

I did check out ChainFire's link and "restore data" is a great trick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hadid90:
can we use the beta voodoo gingerbread kernel to root and convert to ext4 ?? and mr PAGOT how did u do it the right way :D ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
I know :P . But needed to post that trick once more :D (and probably not the last time)

I posted that link up somewhere :) (here once again http://goo.gl/G1Sdd you will get the root + convert option after this)

Like Nexus S v2.3.2, this stock version for Galaxy S is based on Ext4 right? or i still need lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ilbulgaro89:
read first post! RFS!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
OR, FFS ITS RFS!!! And no, you dont need a lagfix, but you can change the fs to ext4 if needed or wanted or desired.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
Oh? No improvements? I've found 2:

- Swype supports more languages. For some of us, this actually matters.

- Pro HDR Cam no longer force-closes on startup

I just found this in samfirmware.

Awaiting for XEU.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snowpota:
What u mean with "no need a lagfix". The lag problem is gone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
Heh :P languages I dont use :P and the cam also not.

Its been out since yesterday? And already deodexed etc, its same as NEE just different CSC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siddjazz:
Absolutely nothing. You need to wait for the UK ROM to roll out! Right now it seems to be available only in the Nordic region.

Additionally, all the support manuals on the samsung websites have changed to GB (http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...KDXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-I9000&srchword=Galaxy+S).

Not very long now.

Edit: I hope your not already in the UK and spoofing Kies! Cuz that would be of no use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cyberdyne systems:
Your spoofing it to be the UK XEU code which is on JPY (which you already have), so obviously its saying your up to date, If you want GB then you must spoof it to the Nordic NEE code so that it can offer the new firmware for that region, or you can wait until the XEU version is offered through Kies....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Landorin:
The noticeable lag problem was already gone in stock 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] h0rd4k:
I did wonder what all the lag talk was about. I've only had this phone a few days and it came with 2.2.1 out the box :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
So why is gingerbread for SGS2 using ext4, but not our phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ilbulgaro89:
cuz is dangerous for samsung to release an update that change the filesystem. i know that we can change it with voodoo or speedmod, but in this case the blame falls on us. if the filesystem change came from samsung the fault will be on it if something is going wrong.

the sgs2 will see its release with ext4 from the beginning
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zs6wdl:
VOIP-SIP is definitly installed in this version but disabled for Galazy S. Gives me the option to dial out with sip but nowhere to set it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Hmm, isnt it less dangerous than samsung updating bootloaders for our phone via a kies update, so I think you theory is far off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dilbert83:
Anything for XEU yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
I'd argue that rewriting a few sectors with known code is less risky than reading and rewriting a complete and full filesystem when there's no guarantee there's enough free space for the process to complete successfully.

Oh, and the filesystem may even possibly be corrupted. The list goes on. A conversion is a nasty process which can fail midprocess if the owner runs out of battery, or some evil hacky adb-user has created a circular symbolic link or whatever.

Simply overwriting a boot-sector with a finite amount of pre-known bytes without any dependency on pre-existing data is an entirely different ball game as far as risk is concerned and it's more or less harmless in comparison.

No idea on what that is based on. Has anybody read anything else to suggest same?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
Why did you ask me this? Or what should this prove? I really dont get your question or your point...

a simple answer . Cuz its SGS2 and not SGS1?... doh ...

I said a lagfix is not needed and changing to ext4 is changing to ext4, nothing more... (could be called speed improvement for some but for sure not lagfix....)

I was happy for 3 - 4 months or more with rfs from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathijs727:
That's bull****.

It says it's out in Norway, Germany and Holland.

It's only released in Norway.

I'm from Holland and I can't get it thrue Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cornholio_rules:
Check that the previous PDA, PHONE and CSC files all correspond to the same official Firmware, otherwise KIES wont update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cornholio_rules:
No, it's for nordic countries.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cornholio_rules:

Or you can install the latest Swype from its web page. But first, uninstall all trace of swype off your phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommaazz:
HI!

Is it safe to flash my galaxy s with 2.1 eclair with this rom with bootloader? Or is it risky?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arshad_ansari786:
what should i do i am using galaxy s9003 (galaxy sl).................:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
To be honest, my only reason for flashing this over a very stable JVK was that it had Swype-support for Norwegian and JVK didn't.

Turns out some apps which used to FC on me before doesn't do that anymore. And well, it scores slightly higher on quadrant. Maybe they've stripped out some debug/beta-logging :P

Really though. Unless you need Norwegian, Swedish or Danish-swype I can see why you'd pass on this one.

Me though? I'm happy. Just waiting for the AOSP lockscreen + Nexus S visual mods to get ported and I'll be absolutely content :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
Here is what I have to say, and it's by no means complete or definitive.

If you have no plans going back: Yes. It's safe. Just get the version with the bootloader. Remember the appropriate checkboxes in Odin.

If you for some odd reason plan to go back, keep two things in mind:

1. You will NEED to update the bootloader to avoid a midly screen-corruption bug.

2. If you update the bootloader, you will have a very different bootloader than you had on Eclair. I've seen reports that going back from this one to Froyo is OK, but Froyo came with a new one compared to Eclair, so I have no idea if you can restore back to Eclair after flashing this.

Anyway, Eclair is SLOW and you probably wont go back. If you have Eclair and want this, you NEED the bootloader. And it's not very risky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ro_explorer:
When you are flashing an entire rom, the update process is involving FORMATTING the /system partition and writing it with the data contained in the IMG file from the new rom. When you are formatting a partition you can format it to any file system desired ... so your theory is way off regarding this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
Actually this doesn't have to be the case. I've done one update trough Kies before, and it kept my /data partition and other things I had before. If I hadn't already mod'ed my phone I would probably get away without having to do a factory reset afterwards to get it working.

Not sure if this applies to all Kies updates, but the one I went trough (from 2.1 to 2.2) actually didn't format anything at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cba1986:
Anybody noticed games that use on-screen controls, looks inverted?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommaazz:
Hi and thanks for help. Just one more question...or two :p I want to flash my phone so that it will be like new, no old apps and stuff.... So should i use repartition? and what does it mean when the pit is 512...or should i just do it like it says in guide without checked repartition?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
Basically it's like on a PC. If you mess with your partitions, your data is gone. So repartition = wipe. The pit-file is basically a file telling Odin/the phone how you want your partitions laid out. If you check re-partition you need it. If you don't check it, you don't.

If you want to go the wiping route, for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 the 512-pitfile is considered the standard.

I'm sure $omator or someone else on the forum here (Ramad?) has something more in depth about PIT files, but in for the SGS and this ROM, just go 512.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommaazz:
OK. So if i uncheck repartition and dont use pit 512 will my old apps and stuff will still be on phone or they will be wiped anyway? OH and i have to remove my sd card and sim when doing flash? Sorry for many questions but i just dont want to brick my phone. I will charge phone through the night and when i come from work tomorrow i will flash it and see what happens:o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ro_explorer:
The partitions in our SGS are: /system, /data, /dbdata, /cache, /mnt/.lfs, /efs, /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd

These partitions can be or not be formatted/wiped during a rom update (depending on the update scripts in that rom) ... but ALWAYS, a "rom update" is involving formatting /system partition and rewriting it with the files in the image file from the rom.

During a "wipe" type rom update, /system, /data, /dbdata and /cache are formatted and the phone is 100% stock after that.

"Factory reset" stands for "format /data" partition ... nothing else. All your installed applications are stored in /data and all the "saved"stuff from those applications are stored in /dbdata. So, if a rom update is not performing a "wipe" operation, then you will find all your applications when booting the new rom .. the issue is that those applications are not always compatible with the new rom, that why a wipe is recomended.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
Right then, is it worth me flashing from jvk?

is there hacks available as in jvk? (screen off ani, extended menu, green icons when connected, battery with percentage, cf-root + cwm3 etc)

just got jvk running how i wanted apart from an anoying bug where battery seems to drop to 86% when unplugged showing 100%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
In theory yes. You will probably still need Clockworkmod recovery to wipe dalvik cache, battery stats etc or chances are you will encounter lots of force closes, including for the TouchWiz launcher.

As for taking out the SD-card and SIM... I've read lots of places that you should, but I've never bothered myself and I haven't really encountered any issues because of my lazyness.

YMMV though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
The hacks are still being worked on. Unless you need/want Nordic language-support in Swype, there seems to be very few reasons to flash this if you already have a working JVK-setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rickg99:
Just a questition

For my understanding the XWJVB is an older version than XXJVK, even when XWJVB is published later? only last 3 char/number represent the version? Is that right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
Not really any use for nordic as im uk based, gonna download it just so i have a copy because i know i'll end up doing it, i have RFS (Repeated Flashing Syndrome!) lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ro_explorer:
I've "transplanted" the swype from JVB to my JVK and everything is perfectly fine (I was hunting the romanian language in swype).

I did that because I don't want to reflash my phone (I'm kind of tired of doing this every one or two weeks :) ). Until some rom will bring some obvious advantage over the JVK I'll keep this one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
No, JVB is the newer one.

You can just compare the CL, these two are from the same trunk:

JVK -> 75655

JVB -> 118186

Usually CL increments by 1 (within the same trunk) for

- every [accepted] commit of changed code

- or sometimes even for every(!) change in the code
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Swiizard:
