Hi, I've been lurking for a while since discovering this forum, and I can say I really look forward to the release of this custom ROM, rex! I think everyone's got good suggestions for what to add, but I have a request about changing how it works just slightly. I don't know if it's possible, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if it was possible to edit the system to allow any sound to be used for notification, and any sound to be used for the ringtone, instead of keeping them separate. in addition, I'd like to be able to use a separate tone for each type of notification.

for example:

if I use tone 1 for default notifications, I know text messages can receive a different tone (tone 2, for example). creating a notification in my calendar will use the default tone used for all other notifications (tone 1), but I'd like to use a different tone (tone 3).

back to the first part, for sharing tones, as you know notification tones are kept separate from ringtones in the system files. I have android commander, and I can ADD all ringtones in notifications, and vice versa, but I have not tested yet to see if it works to allow me a greater variety of tones available for each. Even if it does work, that increases the used memory, which I'd prefer not to do if I don't have to.

so, is it possible to make these changes in the operation and function of ringtone and notification tone setup?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] monalac:
I am not sure if we can get any CFW on our i9003 :( its not possible!! :( :( :mad::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
are you saying this just because it's taking a while for rex to get better, or for anyone to create new custom ROMs? I haven't done any research, but I'm sure 2-3 months is not too long to wait, and the i9003 has only been out for about that long. give it more time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hoezay:
Can't wait for this rom lots of people with i9003's waiting for this :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
DOnt get me wrong, as gingerbread is around the corner, i think its better to create a cfw on that once it get released... Its just my opinion

Ill always appreciate the hardwork done by rex4u and others who contributed to this development.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Leaked gb will be out tomorrow...source samfirmware!!!:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] divyesh43:
[i9003] Gingerbread ROM out now!!!!

:))))) check samfirmware.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
cool, I'll bet that's one reason for the delay, because people who know how to develop already knew a new version was coming out, so why waste effort on what wouldn't be the finished product? that's why it pays to have more patience, monalac ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robyzal:
I want to try it!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Hello friends,

I am back and can start work again :-) although I am not allowed to sit continually but will try my best :-)

So what are all updates ;-)

I will need some help with different parts of ROM. So anybody or all those who can and want to may join me. Everybody is welcome :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rakesh_4utoo:
Great news for the day ....welcome again
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
HE'S ALIIIIVVEEEE!!! Welcome back almigthy Rex!

Updates:

1. gingerbread is up. SOD happening upon making the phone sleep.

2. Internal/External Mod Swap has been posted by trip.

3. auto-rotation has been ported

4. touch wiz 4 is working on our device.

That's all I can think off. I would gladly flash to your ROM now than GB.

welcome back and developing starts with you!:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
welcome man take care
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Welcome back Rex. Its a pleasure to see your post after long time. I am ready to contribute here in any any possible manner. As always I am part of your team, just PM me, if I am of some help.

But take enough rest, you really need it right now:D:D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rajag33:
Welcome back rex. Hope you r doing well. I know rom modding needs a lot of hardwork. But what we need to do now rather than working on froyo rom is, to remove all those bugs present in xxkp7 gingerbread rom. We don't know when samsung will release a stable gb rom for our handset. So, it is precious for us to work on and save the only gb rom available so far. Only people like you can do this. Or else if you need rest, take your time and comeback fresh. Great to hear from you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Thanks for such a warm welcome and unending support. Thank you.

@jcbalunsat

Who said I was dead ??? I am alive and ready to rock again :-) though my full recovery will take time. I dont get deterred by hindrances :-)

@trip yes you are already a part and will always remain :-)

@rajag

I have already started fixing GB ROM and have presented a solution for most important issue of SOD :-)

Read my post in XXKP7 Feedback thread.

I am planning to change base of my ROM to GB now. What you guys suggest :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
certainly,GB is the future :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manu1991:
Awesome, if you can create a GB rom and also integrate touchwiz4 along with your performance enhancements, It will be an awesome ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
I will be adding TouchWiz 4.5 :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Rex, you fixed the SOD issue..Just too good bro...Can you integrate Touchwiz 4.5 in your ROM plz..?Its heavily modded version of touchwiz 4.0 and sure it looks good..!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Hhehe..I was about to tel the same thing..:D :)..good going mate..Very happy for you..Take care bro..!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@tanu

I think I can fix SOD completely but tight now I have given a solution and awaiting feedbacks.

Thanks buddy !

You all people's love and support brought me back :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
On another note, I think we will have stable GB rom within a month's time seeing that there are no major issues in this first beta. And then official release and then sources ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitishagar:
Hi Rex, Can you point to the link to page where to specify the solution for the SOD problem in GB feedback page.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Welcome back rex!!! How about implementing the extended power menu mod?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
What solution ???

Please post the link to the solution ...still facing the same issue ...but sometimes it works for 10 hours ..sometimes it gives SOD in 15 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
@rex

Just a figure of speech. I know your alive. Remember frankenstein? Hehe. Are u stil going to retain froyo or go gb for your 1st rom?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
hi, rex! glad to see you're up and moving around again!

I think most of your request for updates has already been covered by everyone else, but nobody's mentioned whether my idea is even possible yet. if you don't mind, can you go back and read my first post?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14867194&postcount=191

thanks in advance for seeing whether or not it's possible ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Sorry I can't post link as I am not on PC :-( it is on the last page of XXKP7 Feedback thread.

@super

I will look into it.

I will see what all improvements are possible. It will take time as it is very new and not much info is available. But together we can and we will :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] furious_gamer:
So, was the Custom ROM released or going to release. Since GB stable is not so far away, will you discontinue this one?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
For the time being you may do following to resolve SOD issue till I find and test permanent solution.

1. Remove all battery status widgets.

2. Set Screen timeout to 10 min.

Reboot after 10 sec of doing these two.

It's been around 6 hrs without SOD here and phone being in deep sleep for 4 hrs.

Report your feedbacks.

Thanks n Good Luck :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Ei rex how about the fix for the camera without reflashing? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
As yet nothing. I am expecting a stable GB in a month's time :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nightwish sgsl:
hi rex, what about my question?did u get anything?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mingfai:
HI,

Im will join in I9003 family at this Tuesday

Wish you can finish the ROM as soon as well

Bless~

*First Post*

Sorry for bad english*Sign*
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Guys,

Its decided that I will be basing my ROM now on stable GB :)

I am also happy that I have some brilliant and technically sound friends here (who are invited to be a part of this project) and hope to bring something brilliant to your phones. Soon :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
thx rex we waiting....take care
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gagan007:
After 227 pages u are now abandoning it!

Funny
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ryouza:
good to know you are working, twitter samfirmware says another rom gb based will be released at the end if the next week, i hope this is a good news for us, and practice done with kb3 will be extremely useful to make a good custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nightwish sgsl:
We are waiting..GOOD LUCK
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Two things Gagan

1. 227 replies and not pages.

2. Where did I write I am abandoning it ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
gagan's one of those people that:

1) don't understand your situation and are impatient and unsympathetic

2) are so impatient that they don't realize it's pointless to continue developing a ROM based on 2.2 if finishing on 2.3 is better, even if they have to wait a bit longer for it. (s)he's disappointed you're "abandoning" 2.2 in favor of 2.3.

rex, by "stable", you mean the anticipated stable release coming in another month or two, or "stable" meaning once you and the other developers have finished working out the bugs, assuming that's sooner than the official stable release?

and one more note for gagan (and nothing against you, rex, since I'm new and don't know): what if this is rex's first ROM, and through the practice and learning he did working on 2.2, he's learned some tricks, etc., that would make his ROM on 2.3 even better? would you still insist that he finishes his first ROM, or work on the better, newer one as he intends to?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Thanks for your understanding and support supergaijm.

By stable I mean bug fixed and not the official one ;)

How many of you would like to have a Froyo based ROM when GingerBread is already out ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
you already have my answer, but I figure I'll give my reason, just so I don't seem like just a leech for not offering too much help.

I've finally learned a bit about SOD and other things that happen, and from what I've seen, it's more likely to occur from repeatedly flashing ROMs on a phone. since my phone is needed for work, I can't afford to getting SOD or hard brick, so I prefer to have all the bugs/glitches out and tested before flashing. this is actually my first smartphone! waiting less time for a froyo ROM to be out, and then flashing again to a GB ROM when it comes out could make it more likely that something will go wrong, so I'll wait patiently, since I'm more used to using a phone as a phone instead of a mini computer anyway ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Nice reply and good reason mate ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Lol! good straight forward script, but still don't you think having paid a good price to smartphone one needs to explore its abilities to the extent rather than using just as a phone. pls don't consider this as debating with your opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
That's fine Supergaijin, but do you insist 'rex' to continue with his efforts to shape froyo ROM which can go without a good appreciation since a stable version of GB shall be released soon. I think everyone whoever is contributing/ developing some things are by utilizing their spare times. So why should not he wait for sometime & once GB is released, start focusing on it for any improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
It's getting hot in here. Lol.

@rex

I or we will still appreciate if you release the Froyo ROM for us to use for the time being. It said that you will take sometime to check the GB ROM, modify, add things, make it quicker etc, i believe the Froyo ROM which is already near it's perfect form would still be a need.

two cents.

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
go go go !

Hey rex,

My humble request is for Ultimate SL ROM with a stable gingerbread release as the core..

Coz Froyo is not the thing that's gonna cut it.... and almost all of us here in the GT-i9003 forum would support you and agree that waiting for an ironed out and a stable gingerbread release and then integrating your modifications for it would be the best thing to do......

My only request is that once you've started along the work for the GB based custom ROM can we have people like Kkkrazy and tripin making and porting themes for your ROM it would be really cool if we had a couple of custom themes also.... just a suggestion!

A small noobish question .... :)

Is OCLF gonna be supported on Gingerbread ?

Coz after OCLF and removing some bloatware without doing any other mods my phone easily gives a variable quadrant score of 1750 to 1810 (with the stock firmware non-deodexed) probably with your ROM and if possibly OCLF applied will this cross 2000+ mark ?

I know I am speculating a lot but sometimes hope is what keeps us going in tough times... Thanks and God Bless you with all the good things in life....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
you and I are actually agreeing on this. maybe I didn't come across clearly, sorry :P

ok, I got your point, and I'm not arguing, just adding a bit: I have been doing a bit of exploration, have already rooted, added apps, enjoyed using the internet through wireless (never expected that on a phone), etc., but the main point I was trying to make to those who are most impatient for this upgrade and these tweaks is that a phone, whether "smart" or not, must first and foremost be a phone, or it's just a "toy" ;)

* and yes, I am definitely looking forward to most every upgrade that's been mentioned for this ROM. the others, I'll have to research 'cause I'm not familiar with them :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
thanks for reminding me, I forgot the only thing that was needed was some beta testing. I'll give my vote for releasing the froyo in the meantime, for those that want to try it, but I'll still wait for GB ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jasspreet:
Can any one tell me what's d use of using dese roms????I mean I m unable ro understand all dis.hacking stufff
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Hi guys,

ROM will be based on GB. I would not like to waste time and resources on something which will be outdated in less than a month. Isn't it ? Would you ?

Here are few things I want in ROM :

1. OCed to 1.4 - 1.6 Ghz

2. After Glow effect

3. Custom boot animation

4. Faster (not only on benchmarks but feel wise)

5. Worldwide APNs

6. Theme applier

7. Custom themes

8. Faster connectivity

9. Better GPS

10. Various tweaks

This is what I want to give to you all and I need help of everyone. If one or few people take any of the above mentioned things and start working we could have something brilliant. We could proudly say "We did it" :)

So who all are upto this proud challenge ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
i would b glad to port themes am not perfect but still if u want......

for oc/uv bala was working on one kindly contact him for his progress
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Wow these are the best set of things to happen to our mobile!! Lets develop a best rom for it!!! Count on me rex...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Hey rex,

Much respect for your efforts in attempting to develop a 2.2 ROM for our phone previously. I hope you're in good health now.These seem like great additions to the stock ROM if you can manage it.

I was wondering if we could assemble a team to work on porting CyanogenMod to the phone. I'm familiar with Linux and a bit of Android. I can read a bit of code here and there, the rest I'll learn on the way. I've been talking to developers on IRC and I have some resources that may not exactly be widely known but would help get us started.

We will get help on IRC when we need it but the main thing is we need to have the phone ourselves. Skin1980 has ClockworkMod and I think it is one bug fix away from being usable and ready to test.

Let me know what you think. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
point me to something simple, 'cause I have no phone skills. as long as I don't have to take a three-month course to learn what I need to know, I should be able to help out at least a bit ;)

* I was trying to edit someone's .apk, called flip2silent, to make it possible to choose which side you want it to go silent on. I got as far as getting it deodexed, extracted the .classes file, but I can't edit it to add other orientations, so I was going to just edit to replace the original side with my preferred side, assuming I had found the proper place to edit it. I successfully installed ant and junit4.x after much trial and error and only by following instructions I found on each, which weren't easy to find, even by googling. then, when I tried to redex (is that the right word?), it asked for a build.xml, so I got lost. that should give you an idea about my level of skill ;)

now to go research things like "after glow" :D

Hi Rex.

Please add an OpenVPN (tun.ko) driver while you're at it.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mingfai:
HI rex,

I am looking forward to your rom

Hope can add a function of select 2G and 3G connection at mobile network

PS:also hope OC won't drain battery life so much

Bless you~ :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
@rex4u

That is the ideal list of items! Would it be easier to do the work on these or to try getting Cyanogen working on i9003? Level of effort wise.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Punka-res.apk:
When will you release this one ????

July, August ????

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Dude this is for cwm
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
WOW! Definitely it is better to work on GB, only question is the time frame.

Cannot help out in any aspect as I am a basic user, but all the best to you and your team.

As @shariqa12 pointed out, is it better/possible to port CyanegenMod to I9003?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Oops......dilemma :(

Guys plz decide you want Cyanogen to be ported or something original created ?

I anytime will vote for originality even if it is not perfect the first time itself.

At least I will have the satisfaction that I created it or was part of the project.

Partners, I will be creating a separate id for our discussions and collaborations. I will prefer Gtalk. What you guys say.

Once decided I will send the invites :)

Who knows coding here and who is good at Graphics. Can't we create original themes ? We can.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] francesco9482:
i prefer a cyanogen official port so we can stay up to date with the google releases and cyanogen's team new features. it would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
I would prefer Cyanogen.

Other reason I floated the Q about Cyanogen vs original/custom is because I have seen devs move on to other devices when they upgrade/change. With Cyanogen there is the chance of (maybe) being future proof.

Just my 2 cents.

I have not done coding in years but would be willing to help in any way I can.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Cyanogen mate. Why reinvent the wheel? Besides it's way more challenging and we'd learn a lot. Like I said earlier, I have some resources that could get us started off. Forget creating a separate ID, I'll make a Google Group and we can discuss it there.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
I think cm should be the first priority.just to be safe for future that is.and once you guys are on that level you can build sumthin new with even more ease and flexibility.just my personal opinion.rex, mate once cm is achieved i think then u guys shuld aim for the originality that i9003 deserves.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Hey Rex, Yea CM should be first ported..!! We really need that..!! And yea I'm not saying we dont want your ROM bro.We need it too...but you know this CM is currently the Best..And if it has been ported on our device..Then dont you think it would be great??And then you can always develop your ROM..!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
oops, got my acronym wrong. I thought I saw cfw :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I'd have to learn more about cyanogen to even answer properly, but would it be possible to add the GPS fix, etc., to cyanogen, or would it be easier (i.e., less conflict in programming) if you just start from scratch?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
We have to ask rex which would one would be more feasible. Porting cm or creating a new Rom? If we port cm, who would able to help rex with the coding?

@rex

Which would you prefer?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Hmmm....in that case I will suggest all you guys to have a look at MIUI too.

@jcbalunsat

Originality. And no it's not same as reinventing wheel :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
wow !

WOW !!!! Really cool set of features and aspirations you have towards your ROM rex... hats off to you... My only gripe is the OC of 1.4 to 1.6 ghz.... (might be a battery buster) OC upto 1.2 Ghz is fine....

I don't have any programming exp but I can help with idea gathering and putting together some wallpapers (some basic photoshop experience!) for your ROM !!

Lemme know if this project takes off or not....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
I agree for something original go rex....... do send me a PM if nothing for programming I can atleast contribute to the brainstorming session.... :)
