Great news guys !!!

We gonna have another GB ROM in 24 hrs :-)

Keeping fingers crossed ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@adaba

1. Yes my ROM should run happily on your phone.

2. You don't need to root it to flash any ROM.

3. KIES - Installation errors. Google ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Saintrheno:
@rex4u

does the rom support sd card swab for 4gB sgSL??

Because internal memmory 4GB sgSL is only 1,5 Gigabyte :confused: :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pulsar_swift:
Yes this is good idea. REX4U could you also makes the changes to the vold.fstab file so that the external sd card would show up as internal card , please ?

My phone part is gone....Unknown IMEI.

Hey guys.after flashing some stock roms from download mode,My phone part is GONE and my IMEI is Unknown:(.I've been flashing many stock roms (pda + phone + csc ...OR sometimes ONLY phone part)but I couldn't restore my IMEI....Do you know if I install custom roms,my problem will be fixed or not?I almost searched all around the web,no one could fix IMEI issue so far.:(

So Can this custom rom help?:(

thanks a lot.pleaseee help me.If I give it to factory they can restore my imei?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
@omid.

I'm not quite sure who was the guy who had the same problem but he brought the phone to Samsung to get it fixed. There are no custom ROMS yet.

How did you flash it by the way?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bierkuh:
hey guys.. i think it's a good idea to start developing a new rom instead of trying to port a stock rom to cyanogen ;) ..

unfortunately samsung hasn't released a stable gb-rom since now, i hope this won't be last to the end of year..

I'm also interested in helping you to get the first custom rom as good as it's possible ;) .. i'm a java/c#-developer, but i guess you need skills in c++?! i could try to get into it, if it's needed..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] omid66613:
I've had galaxy i9000 and desire hd and nexus s before.I rooted these phones so far but I don't know why this happened to this phone.After I upgraded to 2.3.4 my IMEI was deleted...I did it step by step (first pit file then after restarting phone and csc and pda)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Guys,

My ROM will be based on any 'maximum' stable build of GB.

Currently I am busy in porting a few stuff and testing another. GB is different from Froyo.

And then devoting time to my own Profession too :(

But

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Since now it is going to be based on stable GB it might take some little time. I am testing many things and hopefully it will blow your minds off ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mohamadfar:
Thanx but i9003 made for middel east form sumsung and I think support of Farsi/Arabic in very important. If you want have popular rom and most people use this, you need support Farsi/Arabic in your rom in first release.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
You might want to watch your comments. Again, he said that it would not support Arabic and would try in the later versions. A lot of people have been anticipating this ROM and rex has been working very hard for us to have it. If it does not support your language, just deal with it. Try english. We are not asking him to support our language as well. Be mindful of your comments as it seems to be offending.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Guys, I am thinking to remove few default applications and add few. Need your suggestions.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
@ rex 4u

our chip OMAP 3630 is also used in nokia n8 & nokia c7. So if nokia phones support usb otg means we can connect pen drive to our phone using usb otg cables, then why our phone doesnt support this function...there must be some solution to enable this facility...so I think while building custom rom these things we should consider. I know its very...very difficult but if we try then i hope we will get success...!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Your right on this point. How does adding "arabic" to this make this a popular rom, With or without arabic, This ROM will end up being popular. Doesn't matter what language packs it carries. English by default is good enough 90% of the world speaks/understands english as it is a universal language. Forgive me if this sounds as much as a slang cur but in the middle east where I'm from, Only a handful of people actually know "how" to use a phone, apart from social needs. :cool:

Then again, Once GB gets released, I wonder if this is worth flashing to--Hope it gets released before GB. Its been a while actually :\
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I may think of more later, but the first one that comes to mind is aldiko. for those of us that like it, why have two installed because you can't delete the original?

* if aldiko isn't default for everyone, where might I find a confirmed list of apps that are default on all i9003, regardless of what country a person purchased it in?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
It's good to install DroidWall, but I'm sure that there will be a lot of questions why I can't download software from market and so on.

Also I think you can remove "Dev Tools" and "Office" (I don't remember the name of that shareware scrap). I removed all software from Samsung that I can with help of SGS Tools. But may be somebody wants to use it. IE as for me I can remove software manually and it doesn't matter what will be installed in you ROM :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gamer2:
Hey rex thanks for all your hardwork and best of luck.Since you are planning to replace the stock apps i would like to give a few suggestions-

1. Replace 'my files' with root explorer

2. Built in file compression utility(like androzip)

3. Music player with doubletwist

4. Video player with rockplayer

5. Calculater with realcalc

6. Internet with dolphin browser hd

Additionaly u could also provide an option in the settings menu with which users can flash and replace any system app with another app of their choice(since most of these apps are paid)

And is it possible to implement OC in the new rom???

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gamer2:
Hey rex !!! Meanwhile can you release your beta froyo rom which you had developed before getting admitted???

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I don't think your proposition is good:

1. root explorer is not free App

3. I like to use Astro Player (It has very good bookmarks management — I like to listen audiobooks)

4. I like Mobo player (it can play without lags more video than Rock player)

6. I don't like Dolphin player, it's too complicated. Standard browser is enough for me.

But if in ROM will be that applications it won't problem for me, I can replace them without any problem.

That's why I suggest to rex4u remove/add application by his choice. :)

EDIT: BTW Root explorer already can create and extract zip or tar/gzip files and extract rar archives ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
-Root Explorer is a paid app, Don't see that happening. However there are other ways to get similar apps with similar functions.

-Androzip is great. Then again too many ads, and too many FC on i9003.

-Doubletwist isn't really a good idea, But its a decent player. Fede's UberMusic app is free and would be a great addition considering he plans to make it "free", A player must be appealing to a user in terms of customization/settings/user interface. Skinning is optional but Fede's is the only player so far that has skins.

-Rockplayer - Alot of views have come up on this, Moboplayer/Diceplayer they're all great apps. Think sticking to the stock video is reccomended, to avoid problematic scenarios.

-Dolphin Browser is free but also very unstable atm and laggy, Its stuck atm between performance > loading, or Loading > Performance. Plus id like a browser who's addons aren't heavily dependant on paying or id be using my computer browser instead.

Now a theme manager would be a great idea once trip007in expands his theme criteria. Furthermore I feel that there should be more developer xda apps than market ones. After all it is made for and by advanced users :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
LOL I want my mind blow....

I understand this its better to wait. Hey everyone just patient, just enjoy your stable ROM if you are not in development or testing.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
launcher and stock apps

Well getting paid apps like root explorer is a no no ...... instead of putting in such things... just have a free file manager that people can remove or use.... and a bare bones version of the ROM with pre-rooting & de-odexing and lag fix applied....

and a regular version with more bells and whistles....

also the stock launcher of gingerbread should be cool or probably replacing with an updateable version of GO launcher or ADW launcher would also be cool..... just my suggestions.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
nothing like go launcher pro... Best launcher so far.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
In new rom we should not remove or add any default apps...they play very important role directly or indirectly...& wen we add launcher like go launcher then always remember it is constantly updating with fixing old bugs...so if we add it as a default launcher then definitely it will have some buga & also it will get old after launching a new version...so instead of doing all these things simply we should use market apps as 3rd party apps & not as default apps...

but if u want something innovtive then we should not ignore cyanogen mod rom, darky's rom...we can take a lot features like theme manager, custom kernals, theme animation, lagfix, usb otg, tv out so that we can improve os performance..!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mohamadfar:
Dear jcbalunsat , you can't understand why I talk, Sorry for my bad english !!!

Dera rex4u

We don't need Farsi or Arabic rom, We only need UltimateSL v1 show Farsi and Arabic font , support right to left languages, We have Farsi app, We receive Farsi sms and Email, and need i9003 with UltimateSL show this font right.

If you're going to keep touchwiz then is it possible to mod it to have centre homescreen as default instead of 1st.

P.S: I'm a java developer but coudn't invest time in learning the nitty gritty of android. I'll b glad to b of any help. Just lemme know.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Would be awesome if the stock video played MKV and Internet video from apps like BBC World, So far only other players besides the stock player in XXKB3 can play it. What codec does internet video use anyways?

-Better yet, Why not integrate the APK's into a folder and Astro File Manager installed on stock. That way if user integrity matters, they can install the apk's they prefer, Makes it easier so people don't complain on the variety of apps used to replace stock ones.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I can play mkv format on froyo using stock video player. Just by using lib files from dsp folder of xxkp7. But 720p files are not playing.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
No I am not alone anymore :)

A custom ROM has so many additions, improvements and tweaks that it develops better in a modular fashion. Me and my partners are creating (porting/modifying/coding) different parts of this big project and finally will consolidate and test(as a whole). Once we all are satisfied it will be released :) Everybody who is willing and has started creating anything for it is a Partner. Then only step is to be in touch with me through PMs, till I bring everyone on a single messaging platform but I am so busy it keep slipping :(

There is daily good amount of PMs ;)

Yes it will be based on stable GB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Hey! Just would like to convey my appreciation to u devs for working on this custom ROM! Add me to the list of beta testers if u need any!

I have quite a few questions/ideas/suggestions, so please bear through what is going to turn out as a lengthy post!

I would like to mention the CWM and ROM manager projects. The ease of updating and flashing ROMs is unmatched when a phone has CWM installed. Any updates about whether they will support the i9003 in the near future?

Which launcher r u going to use for ur custom ROM? Touchwiz 4.5, Launcher Pro, ADW?

Hows about the music player with DSP and Eq options present in CyanogenMod 7?

And finally, any compatible lag-fixes for the i9003 and r u adding one to ur custom mod?

Thanks in advance guys! Hope ur well @Rex4u!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Could u post some screen shots of the project so far, if and when u can? It'll give us something to get all hyped up and excited over! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
@Erahgon

Let me help out Rex with some of your questions:

Lagfix will not be applied. Why? Because we do not need it. There are other ways to make our phone quicker without the harmful effects of lagfix (kernel conversion etc.)

TW 4.5 is the preferred launcher as it is more compatible with our phone and speed would not be compromised by this. It has also been discussed here by rex.

Sound enhancers? There is a free app but i forgot the name that already enhances sound. You might want to check or backread some of the GB feedback threads.

CWM will definitely be in as this is a big breakthrough on our device. Skin is already near completion and I do believe that rex would integrate this.

@rex - i had to answer because you have more important things to work on :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
And I am really thankful :)

Every little help goes a long way.

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:

Oh how I wish I had this ROM right now....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
You know, I really want to have ext4 as default fs instead rfs. :-)

Somebody names it lagfix.

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Yes it would be nice but the current CWM by skin cannot support this for the time being. Also, lagfix may corrupt the kernel for some odd reason. It would be best that we wait for Skin to make it work in all kernel adaptations such as RFS, ext4 etc.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
1. Skin can't make nandroid backup of rfs partitions, nandroid can backup ext4 partitions

2. To have ext4 as default fs, we need only the following:

2.1. the kernel should supports ext4 (Froyo kernel supports ext2,ext3, GB kernel doesn't support ext* at all)

2.2. inside PDA .tar there should be images of system partitions formatted as ext4 (not rfs)

3. I don't understand your talking about kernel corruption. OCLF doesn't do something inside the kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wouldn't the risk of that leave the phone completely vulnerable to kernel panics? What about i9000's GB firmware, Does the kernel support ext4? Im completely confused on why our phone remains inferior to i9000 when infact the specs are higher.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
thanks buddy... go launcher has the best features of adw and launcher pro
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
bro you rock...... thanks thanks........
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
same issues and questions that I have + 666 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fatso485:
does this ROM have full Arabic support? if not is there a Patch planned for this rom?

Also, whats the maximum OC speed allowed with the included Kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
1. The current GB is a development version

2. When you do something you do it step-by-step, don't you? That's why (I think) Samsung developers removed every addition options (without this options phone can work well), then they will stabilize this fw and will add options one by one. That's why in the current kernel there is no .mkv support and no ext* filesystems.

3. I read (don't remember where) that fw for i9000 will have ext4 as default filesystem (as all androids)

This is only IMHO.

Kernel panic can be only because unstable kernel modules. And I'm sure that ext4 module is more stable than module for rfs. ;) Why are you talking about kernel panic?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well isn't the phone supported by kernels? Sound, Codecs, System, they're all based on kernels, right? Our phone is based on rfs partition in which we hope to change/convert to ext4 partition like the i9000. My understanding is its more like surgery, You remove /add one thing and hope it remains stable. Thing is our phone contains totally different kernel sets from the i9000, So wouldn't that mean incompatibility results to kernel panic?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
You are wrong :) We don't need to remove rfs support if we want ext4 support. It's like our Froyo kernel that supports ext2/ext3/rfs filesystems.

We already in our Froyo can move to ext3 filesystem. We need just to create ROM where instead "cache.rfs", "system.rfs" and so on will be "cache.iso"(.ext4 doesn't matter), "system.iso" formatted with ext3/ext2. And there won't be instabillity because we don't need to change stock kernel, support of this fs is already inside the kernel.

Yes, if we(somebody else) will create custom kernels, we will see more instability because of this compilation will be less tested then stock one.

But I hope that support of ext4 will be compiled inside stock GB kernel and we don't need to compile our own kernels. (I go out from compiling linux kernels for 6 years :) )

BTW I don't research situation with converting rfs to ext4 for i9000, but I don't think it can be easy converted (we just have to backup all data from system partitions, then format them and turn back the data).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MR_EVIL:
don't feel bad but somehow i feel its fake coz rex4u didnt release the custom rom 2.2.1 on which he worked so hard.....now hopefully Gb version will release some day...........anyways if its not fake keep up the good work rex.....waiting for custom rom on i9003 is killing...
