[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] -Cronos-:
yes i know about widgetlocker, but i couldn't find any theme that resembled the galaxy s2 lockscreen. I just wanted to know if anyone with the necessary abilities had ever thought doing it, considering that other 5 lockscreen has been ported
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
oook, now i have another question (if it's ok)

previously (on JPKE1, i.e froyo), camera by lightbox didn't work properly. well, now it does (on XXKPE), but i took one picture and after that something happened to the camera app and it would crash and (temporarily) freeze the phone. at some point, the phone started hanging. so i tried to reboot the phone by holding down the power button for some time and i got a 'Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode' screen. took out the battery and put it back in

this time, when i tried the camera app, it didn't work at all ('Camera Failed'). having had enough, i decided a reflash was in order after all (even though i flashed twice, someone earlier on this thread said he had to flash his phone 4 times before the camera started behaving), and i switched off the phone to go into download mode. unfortunately/fortunately, i messed up with the 3 button combo, and the phone booted as normal. i decided to try the camera once again, and it worked great! i took several pictures with the native app and with lightbox, made a video with the native app and everything's peachy. nothing else seems to have changed, by the way

am i likely to have an experience like this again? what are the odds? i just want to be absolutely sure
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Its a strange thing with this series of Samsung GB ROMs but if the camera's not throwing any more tantrums, let it be. What could be the worse that could happen? :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
yeah, i was thinking da same thing, how likely could it be that this same cycle would repeat again?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Worse case scenario, You might end up playing with firmware codes like some of our member's did and messed up the camera from ever working again D:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
As I said

1. I'm using DroidWall to setup iptables (internal linux firewall)

2. I used Autostarts to remove some rules

3. I manually removed some stock applications I'll never use

4. I don't use any task autokillers, I have Go TaskManager widget. I setup what applications shouldn't be killed, and sometimes tap on kill button of this widget.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
*GASP*! i would never! at best, i'd reflash the firmware, or even go back to froyo, but nothing like playing with firmware codes
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Oh thanks a lot for clarifying...I am planning to switch over to go launcher cuz after flashing this rom touch wiz ui trends to lag sometimes..

Also for me swift key x is lagging a lot but gingerbread keyboards as given in trippin's theme is working fine! Also can you share the market link of your auto start killer app? Just pm it to me...would be a great help... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Updated first post with link to a new theme..

P.S i will rearrange the link etc when i have the time..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Hahaha, Put it this way chief, We had a few chinese member's play with the firmware codes a while back and totally bricked the phone of it's camera usage. And well, we couldn't figure out what they did wrong till we realized they played with "Hidden Cheat Codes" :D Oh well, Atleast the warranty covered the repair :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Updated first post. Separated themes from ports.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
boot control software is not working in XXkpe

any other software like this to reboot handset and to go in recovery mode
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Can you not just press the Power button and select "Recovery"?

Of course, that's assuming you've got CWM flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
hooray, we will get new rom at the end of this month! lets the countdown begin :-D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wlting:
Thats mean official GB for our phone still have to wait.... T.T
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Yupieee
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
hopefully this will be the officiall GB rom for SL so that our great DEVS can start working on moding this version of GB for our phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
Let us hope the new firmware has no bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
@misledz: is this consistent with what I was told or what? ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Ponda, In a way, this is what was told by SamFirmware about a month ago, I have my doubt's on which region it is, But for sure it's the final EUR in which every regional firmware will be based off. If this is indeed the final. Then Middle East will get it's version on Sept.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
What about asia? Do you have any idea when its official kies release will be out for gb?

Thanks!!:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Tweet:

SamFirmware

There are no new I9000 and I9100 at the moment. By end this month we will release a new I9003 rom.

3 hours ago
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Like I said, If it is

confirmed

that the next GB release is the final. Then you will see it on Kies.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
for all we know, they were talking about the european one, too. either way, i don't really suppose it matters since i don't really need the arabic stuff (though i thought the qiblah direction, prayer times and quran apps were a nice touch, i guess they're on samsung apps if i want them). besides, i read somewhere that european roms were known for their stability (whereas i had a couple of random reboots on JPKE1 so random i couldn't isolate a cause or pattern)

yay gingerbread!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
sorry, meant to quote misledz there
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Pondaception, A Ponda within a Ponda o.o....

Also JPKE1 isn't a EUR firmware :D XXKB3 and XXKBE are EUR firmwares, But It's a beta GB release, probably they wanted people to have their hopes up and not just sell the phone and quoting "Samsung are pricks like Apple with their devices"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
That's great...

If the next release is bug free, then the credits along with Samsung team shall also go to all those forum members who have flashed every released versions & have left clear feed back. Defenitely samsung must have considered these feedbacks and worked on it. right guys?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
Pondas within Pondas are too unstable :cool: (Inception <3)

i know JPKE1 wasn't european, it was arabic. that's why i was saying that i read european roms are reputed for their stability, where this arabic one randomly rebooted from time to time

and one thing i know for sure, Samsung may be cruel to offshoots of their flagship devices (in this case, the i9003's gingerbread update taking so much longer than the i9000's), their nothing like Apple (not sure if you're a gamer or not, but if you are, you'll know what i mean when i say Apple is the Activision of the electronic devices industry)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
They probably do, afaik the forum pages get a lot of views I'm sure they don't read the whole 90 pages but I think they're aware, I do know they have their own debugging team but I guess their team would read here aswell for various forms of feedback and things their team probably didn't realize like the XXKB7 series
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
I have updated my 5 locks mod:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Really? I'll check it out ;)

Edit: Awesome! CWM flashable now all that's lacking are a few more lockscreen. Also question some lockscreens don't have an unlock sound, is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
I think thats normal
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
All I can say is - :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Don't know why I didn't see this.

Well people here in xda are famous for their eternal rage over the cursed white apple, theapplethatshouldnotbenamed :rolleyes:. Apple does promise their release date's I agree, but then again Samsung is entirely focused on many other handsets compared to the

cursed white apple

. Much emphasis is showed to the I9000, But I hope with the release of the GB, we will end up having many new things to come.

And yes I'm a heavy gamer :) So far stuck in xda. :o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
haha, i'm kinda new here, but i've seen Apple-fanboys rage on things other than Apple, but have yet to encounter someone doing the opposite. Can't to wait to see it ;)

and while Samsung definitely has a case as far as having several handsets go, i9000 and i90003 are practically alike! does it really take over a half a year to bring gb to both?

and gaming ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well they're only similar in looks ,As falex stated in his post in addressing one of the mods, He mentioned the specs, motherboard and differences between them, As much as they're supposed to be related, they're not :\. The chipset is entirely different from the rigsets both phones were given *shu hada :eek:* So I'm not really surprised as to why it takes too long. They probably do the father series first then get feedbacks and based on that attempt to do the same for the child series, aka our phone.

Well if you knew the silly patents apple holds you would rage a thousand camel rages, spacebar could fill you in on those ;P.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Add to that the newer Galaxy S Plus. :mad:

And no, no Apple trash here please. I'm so sick of that!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Grand, the S+ comes out with a GB pre-released. This sucks at this point we will be clung together with the S+,I9000 and I9003 series all cluttered here. It still is however a candle away from the S2, the 2 Tegra core's make all the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Well, it all depends on the person. Gaming ppl will like dual core, for me I'm waiting for the Galaxy S II mini. It fits the bill very well, considering it has the GUI of the S2 and is smaller than the current SL (I found 4 inc is a little big after some time with this phone).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I wonder what the state of dev for the Plus is. Its the second best device in Samsung's lineup after the S2. But I haven't heard much about it anywhere. Sort of strange, as its one hell of a device and probably the most powerful solo-core device today.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
The review on gsmarena for that one was quite positive but sammy have still not provided it with a flash .... that's bad...

And as far as apple is concerned ... for all apple/Steve jobs/iphone lovers they shall face the wrath of android geeks from xda dimension!

Apple's updates are on time but that's it.... the story ends there...

Only one phone? No normal sim card usage? No memory card slot? easily replaceable battery absent!

Everything stacks against them!

May god give apple fanboys peace in. hell! : D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
haha :D

looks like i got my wish of seeing Apple-haters
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Now now, let's stay into topic :rolleyes: , There's a reason why iPhone hasn't found a home in xda kekeke.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
I thought i entered the wrong forum here. With all the apple talk. Anyway after having deodexed my unit. So far i didn't encounter random shut-off. Hopefully this would last.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Please suggest

I have read all the feed backs here still would like to ask the mates who have flashed XXKPE, is this fw usable on daily basis? Iam out many times on business trips so depend on cell for mails & ofcourse calls. what is tempting for this fw is enhanced battery life but at same time it lacks mail synch (correct me if am wrong). After reflashing usually the handset is quite fast & responsive but after some days usage & loading many apps it shows its original colors. so may i know what's the worthyness of this fw with respect to usage, response & battery life after one has flashed, loaded all required apps & using since quite some days?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
not sure if this is true for the stock email app, but i think gmail syncs pretty fine (i still get notified when i receive mail - instantly, too); i have my email app set to sync every hour and there's nothing new in my inbox yet

if you ask me, from what you've written, (stable) froyo will serve you just fine. it's almost been a week since i flashed xxkpe and haven't run into any serious issues aside from that one bit with the camera app (2 reboots fixed that), but there are some who have reported issues on this very thread. if business trips mean that you'll have days when you won't have access to a computer, you might want to be on the safe side; if something goes catastrophically wrong and you don't have a computer at hand, it'll definitely be a problem
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
No issues to cause any major trouble on this ROM. The issues are more in the nitty-gritty of things. So, yeah, you can flash this ROM and rely on it.

No email sync issues at all. None. Gmail, stock Email, Exchange, all work absolutely fine.

Battery life (with Skin's Battery Fix CWM and not the cf_Rooot version) is pretty good. Lasts about a day with moderate usage.

Been using this ROM for over 2 weeks now and there's no issues. Slowdowns, lags etc are absent, esp after CWM w/ Juwe's script and my V6 Supercharger settings. Also, the ext4 conversion helps make it better.

So it depends, if you get all these mods done, you should have a pretty stable and reliable device. Even without any mods, the ROM is very stable and perfectly usable.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
By the time you return from your business trip, There will be the stable and final version *Hopefully* of GB, Then that would be the time to flash it for its stability, It's as Ponda said, You need access to a computer incase something screw's up, And it generally will, Suggestions would lie in flashing Namaless's Custom ROM for it's fast reliability and stability. At least with this intact you can handle a few weeks with a stable ROM till the final GB releases without any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] qilee198:
Is this XXKPE the official ROM for i9003?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yes(even though a leaked one ,its made by samsung<)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
gmail push works flawless, stock mail issue is same as in froyo... works for 2-3 days max then it wont check for mails anymore. a reboot fixes that issue though...

battery life is actually amazing. 8 hours standby with wifi off then about 16h wifi, about 50 min calls, about an hour + surfing, every 30min syncs of like 6 mail accounts in stock app, music etc n i had still like 30%+ left

not running many widgets though and having a close eye on running processes
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
hmm, now that i've used xxkpe for some time, the problems are starting to unravel. just had angry birds and samurai 2:vengeance (last night) freeze my phone:(. a reboot fixed them, of course

can somebody explain what that 'power reset or unknown upload mode' screen means? i get it each time i restart by pressing and holding the power key and have to remove the battery to make it go away

i'm wondering how much longer i can go, since the next gingerbread rom is out at the end of the month. my morale's gone down enough to reconsider froyo, lol
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It's a common thing with beta ROM's, it happened with the XXKP7/9 series aswell. You have to remove the battery and pop it back in to get past the screen as you mentioned, that's the only. You'd think of FrOYO being stable like me, then realize what your sacrificing with to gain awesome benefits from GB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
exactly. i suppose i don't play games on my phone that much, the apps i use most commonly (Pulse, Dolphin Browser, Facebook and Youtube) work peachy (well, as peachy as Pulse has ever been...). and i'm an absolute lag-hater, so it was nice to see touchwiz on kpe lag a lot less frequently than froyo

ok, i'll keep with it till the end of the month, but i've become a lot more patient for the official gingerbread now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Something for all those who've been asking about battery life on this ROM:

No battery saver apps, automatic screen brightness, LWP, no gaming, quite a few podcasts, about an hour of music on hdphones, a few Youtube vids, an hour of browsing, about 3 hours on 3G data and Wi-Fi on for the entire period.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fredman54:
kpe kernel panic

a hello once daily in the galaxy hangs and s j have the message (kernel panic upload mode) why and how to fix it thank you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
how's your display only taking 24%? the very first time i checked (right after the second flash), mine was 66% and at the moment it's 48%
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Yea, unlike Froyo, here the max battery user is Display instead of Cell Radio

One of my frd flashd a Custom Radio (nt sure abt the term bt he said he hd flashd radio) on HTC DHD and got Godlike battery life of almost 1.5-1.8days with Geek Usage!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
On automatic brightness it depends where you keep your phone, Chances are based on the light sensor it will boost it all the way up, But if your in a semi bright place it keeps it on standard.

@fredman54, Specifics please, Firmware?, If GB did you flash twice?. It won't help if you say it just hangs.

@spacebar, Liking your new pic :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Thanks

Thanks mates for all your over whelming feed backs / experience with your flashings. Any way i have dicided to control my temptation to flash GB till this month end. Hopefully an almost final version should be with us by then. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
NOTE !! ANOTHER BUG !!!!

camera app does not lock onto gps ! i even used speedgraph which locks and keeps the gps running in the background but in the camera app it just doesnt show the lock signal ! this is a big issue !!! make note of this !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
you mean that stuff like LAYAR doesnt work properly? or simply that when u turn camera on that you lose GPS signal?

if its the first i see it as problem, although it works for me, if its the latter, i dont see that being a big problem.

or am i (as usual) missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
the camera app ! not other apps ! i freezed layar :P no use of it !

if u enable gps and en go into camera app n check gps in cam settings u'll c that the gps indicator in the camera app doesnt lock even though my gps works fine on google maps and gps test ! i even went on in open space locked to 12 satelights n in the camera app it didnt lock even then :\
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeap your right, Just tried it and even checked in Quickpic and it stated no location info was found. Anyways, It's a beta. No biggie, Doesn't matter where you took the pic unless your woman was stalking you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
hahaha noways ! my girl's always with me :P no stalking business lol..

anyways did u try Samurai_II_Vengeance_v1.01 it just wont instal on mine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Works smooth as a Scarlett's ___ here.. ;)

I have geotags on all my pictures and clicked a couple right now, just to make sure.

So yes, it works. Btw, have you enabled GPS in the camera settings?

Tip: Use "Native Mode" in GPS Aids to get initial lock for the first time. You have to use it only once every time to reboot. Inject time from ntp server. Leave everything else untouched. (And DO NOT get into system codes..)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
i did. installs just fine on mine (although the first time i tried to play, it froze my phone. works like a charm now)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Guys,

How about using skin's CWM script to generate CWM tar for this firmware, flashing the tar as pad and pushing the su files in recovery.

I understand that CWM script is lil buggy but you can flash cwm pda, push files and then reflash regular tar
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
If you know how to do it ...please go ahead :)

But on the brighter side ...its a very nice ROM ....no issues so far (other than - requires 2 flash to make camera work and rooting)
