Hi,

You don't have to flash an entire rom for the bootloaders, follow this thread and just flash the gingerbread bootloaders and thats should be fine...

I don't have any problems. I flashed the new v5 version today after flashing stock JVP and CF-Root.

After that I flashed the Galaxian Kernel.

Now I reach quadrant scores up to 2700 points.

A Simple Question..

Hi everyone,

Hope you all can give me some advise..

Currently my rom is F1 Galaxy S2 V4, Kernel is 2.6.35.7 Galaxian..

Soon V6 coming out in short while.. Should i just download the unwipe to flash or is better to download wipe .

Hope you guys can give me a good suggestion.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drashish36:
where is the v6 download link coz i read 3 pages bk dat he is uploading it???:cool::cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drashish36:
y r u postin v5 links wen faryaab has pulled it down coz it has errors????

i have personally tried v5 wifi and gps not working....for most people
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] patriciogac:
I can confirm that WIFI is not working on V5. Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drashish36:
If u want to enjoy a faster and a better rom wipe version is always recommended..

unwipe sometimes leads to error and people land up later installing the wipe version...:):):)

do a titanium back up off apps only not data and install a wipe version my recommendation to u..:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] calvinyap:
drashish: thanks for the suggestion.. will follow your method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XeloX:
Why not fast and stable with "big" features, like the ideal woman?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fekke:
V6 is under testing and Faryaab will release it when he have time, hopefully today :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seking:
I am not able to see the download link for V5. Am I missing something. Ur roms are damn good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
Links are at FaceBook
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fekke:
V5 aint stable for some people, thats wy it isnt up here on XDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Du5aN:
I totally agree!

@Faryaab, take your time and make a good test before you publish it. I believe that V6 will be bugs-free... ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whaave:
I was actually planning on flashing this because I wanted a stable and fast ROM. But lately I have had my doubts;

- The title still states "V5 Rock Stable", even though V5 has been pulled...

- The latest changelog still includes V5, and even has a comment; "Fully Stable Build", even though it was pulled for instability...

V5 (6-26-11)

Bug Fixes

GPS Fix

Updated SpeedMod Kernel

Added S2 File Manager

Fully Stable Build

It might be my understanding of "stable" that is off, but for me it means a ROM that does not crash, and does not have any bugs or uncertainties.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mbar64:
Download link for v5? =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
The v5 have been reported to be unstable by some members, hence pulled off, v6 would be uploaded later in the day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
The problem occurred to some people only i had a fully stable build.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
+1 everything working fine on v4 as well as on v5 :-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Is it possible to find out what the problems were that some people had with V5. I want to install the wipe version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
wireless and gps were not working for people who have reported with issues with v5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] belmethos:
First of all thanks for the great rom, i am on v5, wireless works ok, haven't tried gps yet. I also changed the kernel to Talon's kernel just to be able to use Voodoo sound., but so far so good no problems ......... (reserving gps :D , haven't tried it yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Thanks you the info.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mgtroyas:
Just installed v5 (didn't know why it was pulled) and restored all apps with Titanium. Wireless working well here, GPS not tested yet.

Keep up this great work, I love your ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sskumars:
Hi guys!

Wifi, GPS and bluetooth is working fine. No problems for last 30 hours. Battery backup is good.

Keep it up.

where is the v5 download add，could u give me a link please i want to instal your rom，my present rom is your v4

Look @facebook or wait for V6, which is supposed to released later today...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monstereo:
I really want to install this rom on my galaxy S but can someone clarify something for me?

Currently I'm running ultimate rom v8.2 which is a froyo rom,to install a gb rom do i have to change the bootloader first before flashing this rom?

sorry for the noob question.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mossy1963:
Unfortunately fully stable means having been tested in all situations and environments likely to be encountered by the end user and found to be bug free.

You really need a group of testers and a production plan to avoid launching buggy roms.

I spoke yesterday of the need for better version control a production plan. Having to withdraw your roms from circulation its proving me right I'm afraid.

I'd love to be able to say otherwise but until you improve your quality control and testing I won't be flashing any more F1s and will stick with juwe, tweaky et al
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webwude:
I would suggest, first of all, get a ROM with bootloader, e.g. here, afterwards you can flash a deodexed 2.3.4., look here. As you already mentioned, keep in mind, that you need a gb bootloader - that's why you will have to flash twice.

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
Right now i testing V6, doing stability test...:) using galaxian kernel and over cloacking it at 1.4 Ghz

ahhh now I get it. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
We try our best but as you know, beta-tesiting is tuff job, and few only love to flash their phone for testing purpose, indeed beta-tester need 1 spare SGS and how much people u know who keep SGS in spare..:P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexdevlin:
I feel the same as you when it comes to roms being stable. However, you have to take a risk whenever you flash a new rom. Remember that even Samsung released a rom that they though was stable and then they had to pull it because of reports from users of errors.

Faryaab's roms are amongst the most stable I've tried. I've not flashed some versions of them because either the kernel was changed to one I didn't like, or there were reports of errors from users. And I have a copy of a stock rom that is official and I know it's rock steady on my phone. So if things get too messed up with me flashing different roms or kernels then I can flash back to factory stock and have a working phone again.

It is annoying that some of the releases aren't as stable as they could be. But Faryaab can only test them to a certain point, and then if they work he releases them. We then become the beta testers for it and report back. You take that role on with any rom you flash, even the Samsung ones.

The best tip I can give anyone is if you want a stable phone, wait until the reports come back from users about any new releases. Then flash once you know what to expect. But always keep a copy of a stock rom that you know works great with your phone and you will always have that to fall back on.

Remember that this guy does this for free. You aren't paying for these roms and you don't have to flash them. You choose to do so because you want something better than the stock Samsung rom. There is always risks in using something that isn't from the manufacturer. Sometimes the risks are so small that the benefits are worth it. Read and do your research before you flash. If there's errors then report them back. If you really don't like the rom or the errors then don't flash it and go find something that suits you and your needs better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XeloX:
Fully stable means stable no matter on wich phone you flash it.

You can say it works for me but "rock stable!" is not something any of the versions you have provided thus far are.

Downloading V6 ;-)

Ty!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] amsterix973:
Hey Faryyab, you forgot to edit the title of the thread. Btw, downloading V6 ;).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whaave:
I fully agree with you. HOWEVER; If you release ROMs untested, then you should NOT state that they are "Rock Stable". This is to avoid confusion, and to let the "experienced" flashers be the beta-testers, not the rookies who just want to try a proven stable ROM. That's just mis-information!

Of course ROMs need extensive testing, and of course you can release them in a "beta"-state, to have other users help you test them by providing feedback, but then you should refrain from classifying that ROM as "Rock Stable".

On a general note; I kind of dislike people putting "Fastest ROM ever", and "Most stable ROM", "Bugfree" in the thread titles, just because some people might interpret that as...well...the truth. Which it certainly is not.

I really appreciate the efforts put in by Faryaab and the other developers, but I also hope that they can embrace constructive criticism, and not blatantly disregard any input from their users. People will always want more than they have, but if you advertise with "Rock Stable", then it's your job to provide a rock stable product. And if you don't have time (which I understand) to fully test all versions before releasing them, then just remove that statement. Easy peasy ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fairyshacker:
any mirrors for v6 ???

my ISP hates hotfile !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HISOON:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
V6 must be stable enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MagicOnline:
EDIT:

as faryaab dont wants mirrors, i deleted it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mossy1963:
I accept all that. I've tried to provide good advice about quality control thats all. This boy has done good work. He needs a bit of nurturing when it comes to testing and version control thats all. I don't expect bug free, I expect fairly stable though and planned releases and fixes. Its all part of the learning. Currently the record of rushed half cooked roms that have to be withdrawn is damaging. Instead of giving up on him I've offered some sound advice based on my own personal and professional experience. All my comments have been constructive

V2 > V6

Hello

V2 installed, I can upgrade to V6 in no-wipe?

Should we remove the lagfix before?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thez3ro:
downloading v6 and will post my findings as soon as i run it throuhg its paces....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fekke:
Wy not ask our Faryaab if you can do that?

Think he wanne have control of the rom and see how many that is downling it... ask him befor and see if he change hoster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Yes you can
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edem84:
Should we remove the lagfix before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
V2 had Darkcore so no need if you are on the Dark Core Kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edem84:
Thanks and happy holidays
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] friedi100:
Thanks for this great rom.

Happy holidays.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mab71:
100+ cant agree more!! its really frustrating to have such high hopes being melted once you find that a rom with such allegations is not up to the claims...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Special Thanks To sajidmkhan & Fekke for beta testing the ROM.:)

Thanks Guys

V4 to V6

hi guys...i have the V4 version speedmod kernel...any suggests befor to upgrade to the no-wipe V6 version?

thx in avance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Disable lagfix before installing and if you get bootloops after the installation take the battery out and put it back in then flash it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
V6: wi-fi don't work. exactly the same in v5...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
did a fresh install - starting with Ramad's JVP then Speedmod trhough ODIN, format all and then V6 wipe.

I am stuck in a bootloop - Vodoo is set to convert file system right after flash (I think this is not good). Will flash again and disable lagfix before first boot - lezs see.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fekke:
Just wipe again and flash and it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
Galaxian kernel developer didnt name version, he just update kernel, so might you have latest one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
It is fully Working 3 users have tested it no problem!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
OK - flashed V6 wipe again; disabled lagfix before first boot - now its booting normally, all looks well so far. more in a minute
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
This is lagfix error, so reflashing once or twice will solve this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
GREAT but... not for me?! 3 users= all users? :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
Oh no - so sorry for you guys, I know you worked so hard but the bad news:

wifi does not turn on - when I do it through settings it says "error"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thez3ro:
flashed v6 again wifi stuck at obtaining adress, worked in v5... tryed to reflash 3 times- same thing... now went all the way back to v2 cuz it was most stable for me... even thinking going to regular f1 sgs v9... beacause i dont have enough time to test as much... :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
taaa daaaaa...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexdevlin:
That I agree with. Also not saying that they are the fastest rom ever, etc. Some people do believe that and wonder why some benchmarking program doesn't give great scores.

None of the roms I've tried from Faryaab have given me scores anywhere near the ones he and others get from them. But they are fast and stable on my phone so I'm ok with that.

The one thing that has stopped working for me though is GPS and the compass. The compass seems to be a known issue with GB roms. GPS sees the satellites but doesn't lock onto any of them. Just now I'm still using V2 as V4 went weird on me after a Titanium backup. I'll keep reading the reports on V6 and will probably upgrade tomorrow if all is good. I like the kernel he's back to using. For some reason Galaxian kernel isn't very fast on my phone. But I did only try it with the TB backup so that may have screwed up some files.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Were you guys using Galaxian kernel before coming to V6?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
No - I came from Speedmod, in fact I am now starting again all the way JM9, Ramad; V6 - lets see.

Tried to flash Speedmod over V6 with odin - bootloop. not giving up yet!!

thanks for keeping us excited -its fun anyway otherwise I could have stayed at my old JVH:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexdevlin:
I don't like roms that do that either. I've had a couple of flashes screw up on me because it went straight into the conversion and froze. I prefer to do a complete boot first and then go back into recovery and do the conversion.

Any news on GPS? Working/not-working?

And does anyone else still have the compass issue? ie; it doesn't track north. Just points to the top of the phone and as you turn round it stays pointing to the top of the phone. I can get it to work by calibrating it. But then as soon as I turn off the compass I need to calibrate again when starting it. Not a deal breaker for me, but annoying though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Did you disabled Lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hostilevader:
Is there any way to get the red dialer? Or do I have to apply an entire theme? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hostilevader:
Same for me! Amazing speed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Astug:
Open up the "Tweaks" app, select "Touchscreen: sensitivity" and reboot = done. ;) Works like a charm for me.

EDIT: Oh right, you can only use get/use the "Tweaks" app with CF's kernel or any other kernel that is based on it, like mine (check signature).

u made me wipe my phone again :) installing... will post feedback after some testing ;)

Hi Faryaab, Nice ROM by the way!

Has anyone managed to get Gtalk 1.3 With Video to work... and receive or make a video call ? I'm a bit stumped with no luck yet.

i've just installed this rom... fantastic!! but my google talk app is without video, why?

Can someone make a video of this rom ?? Screenshots doesn't mean too much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sefuleo:
same here with g talk
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
bump....nothing to see here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sefuleo:
you could make 2 versions and then chose

i think speedmod is much better than dark core although still got no voodoo sound driver. btw, do you have any idea how to reduce the lags when opening the app? cause i can say there's a lag (about 1-3 sec) everytime i open Dialer and Contacts tab.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Astug:
Semaphore, hands down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NasrulBond:
is it much better than speedmod? i read the thread and it got some bluetooth problem, is it true?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Now i understand the lags are not kernel related problem i have changed the dialer and i think i messed it up also Juwe's script is creating some problems now im gonna use darky's RAM Script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cotte:
done ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gammelgustav:
Definetly Semaphore :D

For all who are asking:

-Semaphore(1.2.0): OC to 1.2 /UV, Voodoo Sound V9, Zram,based on chainfire's initram.fs, 337mb RAM deadline sheduler and ondemand governor, CWM 3.0.2.8 (not sure about recovery)

-speedmod(you would use K15G...?): no OC/UV , 337mb ram voodoo sound v9 (should...) , CWM 2.5.0

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gammelgustav:
Glad to hear :)

Yes Im using Darky's too (I think the difference is one point in quadrant benchmark :p)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gammelgustav:
And can you pls think about those things in V2 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NasrulBond:
so are you gonna make an update.zip or you have to redo the whole rom back? ahh it's time to flash back again? lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
Never had lagfix - all RFS - I like a "virgin" boot first before doing any lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thirthy:
for me, wi-fi work great, i have do this :

Full data wipe + Odin JVP + CFroot + Full data wipe again and Install V6.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
Voodoo lagfix, after off lagfix

next i try with Speedmod and talon kernel.

i come back 2 f1 v9
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Did you had speedmod kernel before updating to V6.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading now! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
i flash speedmod before flash v6? it's a problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Astug:
Wifi works fine in V6 (worked in V5 aswell for me).

I was on V5 with Semaphore's kernel. Disabled lagfix, performed a factory wipe, flashed V6, all this resulted in a bootloop. I pulled the battery, put it back in, reflashed v6 and now everything is working just fine.

I think the different kernels create the bootloop problem when flashing.

Thanks for all your hard work Faryaab and enjoy your vacation!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
Yes Users coming from speedmod are having issues now do the following:

Disable lagfix

Wipe everything

install deodexed JVP + CF-Root Kernel

Then Install my ROM with a full wipe

Done
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexdevlin:
I haven't updated to V6 yet. I'm still on V2, which was the last stable and fast one for me. When I got the freeze during first boot I was coming from a stock JVP rom that was rooted using CF Root. I have no idea if CF is the kernel or not. I got the stock firmware and rooting firmware from androidadvices.com
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
1.i flash stock jvp

2.wipe all

3. copy to sd rom etc

4.flash speed mod (no lagfix)

5. wipe all

6. flash rom

ok.

I try with cf-root kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
V6+Galaxian

Got this score with V6 with Galaxian
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
The V5 and V6 was all stable but the users who were coming from Speedmod kernel were having WiFi issues.

So do the following:

Disable Lagfix

Wipe Everything

Install Stock JVP + CF-Root Kernel

Install my ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hermi_hermi:
error

i can hear 'mis cooperation" error when booting after flashing rom v6 wipe...

any idea? what am doing wrong? v4 flashes with no isues..

can u help plz? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Faryaab:
The users who are coming from SpeedMod Kernel and have WiFi issues Do the following steps for a fully stable ROM:

Disable Lagfix

Wipe Everything

Flash Stock JVP Firmware

Flash CF-Root Kernel

Then Flash my ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
Hallelujah it works!!

OK - second try - now everything looks perfect. GPS did not try yet. here is what I did:

Odin: Flashed JM9 with pit512 repartition

Odin: Flashed Ramad’s JVP w Bootloaders

Odin: Flashed Speedmod last version

Converted to RFS (just in case)

Flashed V6 wipe – went into recovery, lagfix was disabled now.

Boot

Great - thanks a lot for the new rom - our overflashed SGS are getting hypersensitive!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexdevlin:
That's exactly the way I do it now if it's a wipe rom. I've found that if I do it any other way, even wiping through recovery, it leaves behind files and data that leads to problems.

I just hate having to wipe and setup my phone again so I'll wait until there is good reports from most until I try it. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raol3k:
very thx man! it's working!

copy this in 1post
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
pull out battery, put it again, boot in recovery mode, wipe/factory reset and then reinstall V6

:)
