[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RobWilcox:
Before I Began

So the first thing is that I *think* last time I said that my music and photos stayed intact. I don’t think the music did, because 2 days later, when I went to listen to some, there was none there! No worries though, it is all on my desktop computer too.

So, I took stock of what I had installed :-

•	Music player

•	TodoistDroidLite

•	Google Maps

•	Gmail

•	Flickr Uploader called upstream

•	Qype

•	Beautiful Widgets

•	Bump v2

•	nitrality (of course!)

•	Seesmic

•	Video Player

I then wanted to take a copy of everything, to do this I plugged in via the cable, with the Samsung USB drivers installed on the PC, and copied the files over after connecting the USB as follows :

Plugged in (see the two icons at the top left)

Slide down on that to see the notifications :

Selecting the second of those notifications lets you connect :

Done.. Copied everything over to a folder on my desktop PC.

Getting All The Bits

Downloading 8.1 of insanity from http://insanity.rollus.net/rom/insanity-8.1.zip

And then from http://insanity.rollus.net/index.php?dir=beta/

I grabbed :

•	EZBase-3.0.7z

•	EZBase.pit

•	EZOdin.exe

Also worth looking at is odin.png which is a screenshot of the settings to make in EZOdin – that’s quite handy.

Starting

Remember to start EZOdin, make all your selections per the screenshot *then* start your phone in download mode *then* plug in your phone, so that EZOdin sees it. Choose the settings in EZOdin which were listed in the screenshot.

Finally click on START in EZOdin

The installation will take a few minutes, you’ll see progress in EZOdin AND on the phone.

After the installation the phone will reboot.

Follow the onscreen prompts to reboot the phone again… this will take a little while.

You then get a localisation and initial setup wizard, I opted to :-

•	Use Packet Data – on

•	WIFI – left off (for now) if you don't you might get stuck

•	Google location services – turn off

Copy insanity over and install

Copy the insanity zip file to the phone’s internal SDCard. This is where the USB drivers come in to play, since when you plug in your phone you’ll get a drive showing all the files/folders on the phone. Once you’ve copied the zip file over to the sdcard, restart the phone in recovery mode (power it off, totally, volume up + home + power, wait for logo, and let go of all buttons), and install insanity ROM as follows :

•	Scroll down to the “Install zip from sdcard” option and select it

•	Highlight “choose zip from sdcard” and select it

•	Scroll down to sd/ and select it

•	Highlight insanity-8.1.zip and select it

•	Scroll down to Yes – Install insanity, and select it

Now wait a little while.

At the end, choose Go Back, and then “Reboot system now”

Now you get to walk through the localisation stuff (again) – but I think that there are a few less screens.

Add in Extra Software .. just like before sort of

As I said at the beginning I was a former 7.1 user, so one of the things that I wanted to get sorted was the nitrality app, which is now on the Android Market. The two that I got from the forum thread are :

•	Gmail Pack

•	Google Maps Pack

You can reboot to recovery mode by holding the power button and choosing the Recovery Mode option, and install both zip’s after you’ve copied them to your sd/ folder.

I set up gmail, confirmed I was receiving email. I also added the shortcut to the home screen, and also the dialer.

I went to the market, and searched for and updated nitrality, and grabbed quickpic at the same time. I put a shortcut to both of those on the home screen too.

From nitrality, I installed Music Player, and Video Player, and checked what I could see :

•	All music is still there

•	All photos are still there

•	Videos still play

I also moved Settings off the launcher, and put the camera there instead. I put a shortcut to the music player on the home screen. I installed and configured Beautiful Widgets, just so that I can have the weather on my home screen! This where I am now.

One thing to note with nitrality, is that you have to grant it superuser access, I always tick the box to remember the decision, otherwise you get the pop-up all the time!

I have to exclude a bunch of folders in QuickPic (and Gallery is the same) to stop Album Art appearing :

To do that you just do a long hold on the folder, and choose Exclude from the pop-up menu.

I configure Dialer to be on the action binding “Swipe down”, so that I can get in to it quickly. To do that :

•	Go in to Preferences

•	Select "Action Bindings"

•	Choose "Swipe Down"

The final thing (and this drives me slowly mad) is the haptic feedback stuff, I turn that off :

So on that screen I turn off :

•	Audible Selection

•	Haptic Feedback
