I'm keeping a separate thread because this is an updated version and we might have different bugs and fixes.

If you are unfamiliar with the Gingerbread update and what this means to the phone, please read this FAQ. An updated FAQ will be posted here once we know more about the firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Have you flashed this fw bala? Any bugs like the ones in xxkp7? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Any bugs like the previous GB bro?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ortaliz:
I did a quick test with the camera, market place, wifi and no errors. I never experienced SOD with the earlier GB rom so i guess I didn't experience it here as well.

Nevertheless, I'm flashing back to Froyo and I'll just wait for the official samsung release. I've wasted too much time already reinstalling things...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nurseto:
then why didn't you use titanium backup or other backup tool for backup all your applications and restore them after ROM flashing?

it's a "must" tool for custom ROM freak.

Please don't make the same queries again and again.it makes the thread untidy and difficult to roam.i m sure people who have flashed will surely update as soon as possible.so lets just have Patience and wait for the reviews.and for the impatient ones u can always flash and check out the rom for urself

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I think those people who just need 1 flash has flashed xxkp7 prior to flashing xxp9 since the camera problem has been fixed by flashing xxkp7 twice.. For me i am fresh from xxkb3 so i needed to reflash twice in order for camera to work.. Correct me if i'm wrong..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blaqkarma:
just Flashed yesterday

Fixed:

Kies Recognize the phone and workin great

SOD as of now I did not experience one.(the even wake me up this mornin:) )

But got one unusual thing when I charge the Battery and reached 100% the phone went to KERNEL PANIC mode.. is there any one here expirience the same?

But as of now Phone is workin smoothly and much responsive..

wifi

another improvement is really fast phone overall response time.and also wifi works now good with bluetooth stereo headset .previously when i used them together the bluetooth stereo got disconnected with jpk
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Have used it for last 18 hours ....

Although ZERO number of SOD is a good ....Battery drain is far more than Froyo (XXKB3)

If others are facing battery drain issues ...i might consider going back to 2.2.1 again.

after a day 72 % of battery avaiable (juicedefender ultimate installed) with normal use...

:D

Yesterday I've listened to some music for more than 2 hours ( with player pro) .. battery drain is acceptable I think better than froyo for me...

total: 30 hours without switching off my phone I've charged it after the flash :D

I have a problem here with this ROM:

Both the memory card is not shown in my computer after i mount the storage..

it takes like 30 secs to mount but fails to show up in my computer.

after dismounting, when i check sd memory card under settings, it shows unavailable and apps disappear which are installed on memory card.

I have 32GB Micro SD with internal external memory swap mod/

Please help!! :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Using that SD swap mod on this ROM is not a very clever thing to do. Get rid of the mod until you have a official release version on your phone.

Can anyone test the vpn connections in this firmware, its not working on froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] donytsang:
I didn't experienced SOD condition or So like Kernel panic condition a lot, just I said two times after playing some video using Mobo player, and then the biggest problem to me, I believe is the battery drain too fast for me.

In the morning yesterday, everything is fine and unplug the AC/USB charger, with about 80% battery level. Then I installed apps like FXcamera, have a shot and I got some error like "android.fxcam.process stops unexpectedly". Then I have black screen, then I reboot the phone by picking out the battery.

Strange thing happens here, the batter level drops to only 22%.

Besides I think it is more buggy then XXKB3 when I have screen scrolling.

That's why I flashed back to XXKB3 finally.

Did everybody experience the same as me?

Anyway, now I would be waiting for the official release of 2.3.4.

We are waiting for a perfect one with no buggy, aren't we?:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dechap155:
I install XXPK9 3Hr.ago everything OK.wifi gmail cam good but when download App from market file 485k wail for 1Hr. RX 1% and disconnet if load from mail it ok old FW XXKB3 2.2.1 froyo

is all ok
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Imo, Im going to keep all versions of firmwares, the KP7, KP9 and the to be released ones soon. I have a feeling samsung will end up cropping out some of the unique features in the future dev versions, Like the MKV playback.

-Probably removed it because it hogged up alot of processing memory

-Give other market apps a winning chance (No one would download a paid market app if they knew the default one did the same thing as the market version :p)

If there's a chance we can port over some of the features from the dev firmwares to the "final" release -This sept?- there's a high chance this phone could have everything a dev/normal user needs.:D

Then again, 720p Playback works fine [Like space said,I don't think the phone makes much of a diff with 1080p playback, Its like adding more ants to your sugar, Phone has a fixed display so i don't think it will make a difference, Also the probable reason why iPhone 4 which claims to have super clear HD playback only plays 720p, cause on a 4" 1080 and 720 are exactly alike :cool: /endnerdrage]--Moboplayer included. I wish they added FLV support to the default, Would save a buckload of space imo. But with better response on the KP9, HD FLV playbacks seem to no longer lag on MoboPlayer.:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
@spacebar2011

Thanks for the practical feedback on this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I'm quite pleased with where this is going. The final release version should be pretty good. And you're thinking correct, some of the packages in these DEV ROMs might come in handy.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rajag33:
Ok!. Here is my feedback after 2 days of use.

I haven't flashed xxkp7. I did flashed xxkp9 over xxkb3. Here is my feedback after two days of use.

1. Camera is only working after flashing for the second time.

2. When rooting with superoneclick, kernel panic but mobile got rooted perfectly after plucking the battery out rebooting.

3. No SOD so far.

4. All type of movies whether it is mkv or avi or xvid or mp4 or 3gp is playing perfectly using mobo player.

5. Battery life is same as froyo. No improvement or drain.

6. UI feels very fast and buttery smooth. I can also change the speed of animations using the "spare parts" app available with the fw.

7. No more kernel panics or reboots. Gaming is buttery smooth.

8. System is rock solid and stable.

I just love this release very much. No problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] monalac:
Can anyone upload original file "SystemUI.apk" from System/apps (2.3.4 only)

Whats About WIFI ???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:

KP7&KP9 have dfferent??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
i have read all posts & i didnt get answer that is this version support tv out & USB OTG like in nokia n8, c7, galaxy S2???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeah on Froyo its supposed to lag, Theres a mismatch with audio and video depending on what encoding was used. Imo, it isn't about Mobo player being able to play it without lag. Moboplayer relies heavily on your phone for Hardware processing. So KP9 being as claimed to be much more hardware accelerated should make a lagless play "possible" not assuring anything here, May differ upon users integrity
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blaqkarma:
Been Using XXKP9 For 2 days Now...and I much happy compare to XXKP7..

last tym had a KERNEL PANIC MODE when Batt reached 100%, But I tried Charging but did not Happen again,, :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Hey guys, I finally bit the bullet and flashed from XXKC1 to XXKP9. Most of this has already been said but I'll quickly list what I've tested so far:

Flashing from Froyo required me to flash again to fix the camera.

Kernel panic mode on rooting with SuperOneClick, just removed the battery and rebooted.

Backup successfully restored with MyBackup Root

No SOD after about 15 minutes uninterrupted sleep mode (wi-fi off and airplane mode).

Market, Wi-fi, Bluetooth work fine.

All my contacts are not merged to their social accounts. In some cases I have to manually join them. This never happened on XXKC1. I'll update this post later if this gets fixed when I sync again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:

Well i kinda figured when i tried to replace system apps for the Ultimate Tripin theme. But wasn't much as i hoped on the GB. Froyo however was smexy. Kinda harsh choosing speed,updates and power of gingerbread over stable froyo. Damnation to these choices!

Do you get a reboot option when we press the Power Button, in Gingerbread.

I have flashed K9. I Get the Silent Mode, Data Network Mode, Airplane Mode and Power Off.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
As much as i love the GB. It feels so..Dry? Is it just me or does anyone else feel like its still lacking something! That and themes don't work -.-. Theres also the USB glitch, After you take it out from debugging, The logo gets left behind until you power boot. I've tried skype and for some miraculous reason video call finally loaded, but when it came to "Initializing video" it freezes when you choose Front/Back camera and force closes, but the call is made nevertheless

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I've tried atleast 5 times now but don't get the video option on Skype at all. Video call on 3G works but there's no audio. I don't know if that's a network issue or phone issue. There was no audio on either side though.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
The cable is wrong... :rolleyes:

Did you plug it in the headphone port ? ....

The real cable should be usb-hdmi... and you have to connect it to the usb port of the phone ( tha same of the charger) not in headphones one...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
There was a patched version apparently that was released for galaxy s. They prooved it worked and I was eager to try. The video option showed up but auto tilts to landscape and it hangs on FROYO but on GB it works. Sadly it fc when you get to selecting a camera mode

This is not a place for piracy! We strongly advise against it and you will be banned the next time you bring that up.

Hi how the front camera work on ym?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I am sorry brothet if I am doing any mistake but if you are saying that piracy is not allowed means ita illegal then modding is also illegal & becauae of it we loose warranty but even though the whole community is doing this...!!! Then will it be not illegal....????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Modding Is Not illegal

Android Is Free dude :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
@vishal24387

Which law are you quoting to state that modding/customizing/whatever is illegal? Can you point out any such law in your country or any other? Is it illegal to change the OS of your computer when you buy it from a name brand like Dell? (read the literature that comes with you computer, you will find it states modding it is against the agreement with the manufacturer... thus voiding warranty, NOT illegal)

You lose your warranty because:

1. Its convenient to say you screwed up (by the manufacturer)

2. It is very possible that you may screw it up. Some user may fry the cpu by overclocking it too much... is that the manufacturers problem? No. Someone may try to get a larger resolution on the LCD and damage it... once again your problem. Thus, manufacturers are justified in saying that "if you mess with the OS/hardware, you do not have the necessary tools and/or expertise to do so, thus you forfeit the warranty"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
it should not take out the IMEI but I did hear some of guys who posted that their IMEI disappeared. Also, when you flash to a DEV rom, you will not be able to update via kies. Honestly, Kies is not being used by many of the people here including me so i really can't say that it will/will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anilv4:
no .. kies cannot be used to update the phone once you flashed with anything other than ddkb2. but the point is who wants it

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
That app is old and it was initially made for Froyo. It doesn't serve any real purpose. You have to click on the shortcut in the pull-down every time, which is lame. We have to wait for a custom ROM to bring the GB CRT animation and the scroll glow & bounce back. Stupid Samsung software team, they're one of the worst dev teams in my experience! That horrendous TouchWiz (which gave Apple a major excuse to sue) and then all the stupid exclusions they make in stock Android and then there's the embarrassing KIES! :mad:

LG is probably the best in this regard, they keep a lot of the stock experience in their ROMs.

Samsung = Brilliant hardware, terrible software.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:

I will look and try to port these animations. Overscroll glow is already half ported. Will test soon ;-)

Somehow my GPRS/EDGE is not working :(

hello guys...malaysian user here...

this is my 1st post...i just want to share my experience with this xxkp9 firmware...

for now, i`ve been using it for more than 24hours...no sod...

just 1time kernel error after installing superuser from the market and allowing it for root acces. its working normally after reboot.

quick reboot (holding the power button to reboot) is not working. but its not a problem for me. I just have to power it off completely. and switch it on normally.

titanium backup working.

camera working perfectly.

sdcard swap with no error. my computer can detect both internal n external.

using spb shell3d as launcher. working smoothly.

will try more software after this...
