I agree!

However no one seems to have come up with an alternative and more reliable, or at least a more 'sensible' looking, download option yet.

Usually Ramad on here is quick to post updates to any new 'stock' ROM's but he may well be on holiday at the moment, otherwise I am sure we would have heard something from him by now! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mermigas:
I was using CM7 for the past 2 months and for change and curiosity I flashed this ROM

For root I used seamaphore root and I also added ext4 and for theme the ODEXED BatMod + ExtPowerMenu + CRT-Off from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196391

Well using it for the past 8 hours I am very impressed and I have exactly the same smoothness as CM7 has.

I will test it for battery life and I will see.

just updated to jvr from samfirmwares every thing went ok just like it did with jvq..why is every body panicking where this file is from if its off samfirmware its ok
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
How many apps have you got installed ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mermigas:
For the moment only 85
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
Can we be 100% sure of that?

After all, it's not an 'official'' site or anything like that, and now that they seem to be 'in league' with Darky in some way or another I am not as confident in them as I once was.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrangeRafi:
any significant changes bet JVR & JVQ? I already downloaded the firmware on SamFirmware, just need a feedback before flashing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davestar2000:
JVQ came bundled with odin too, so it's not a first.

And for the record, I have JVQ with semaphore 1.3, installed a week ago, coming from JVB. The phone.apk FC happened exactly once, the browser is smooth as it could possibly be, and I have 43 apps installed. No FCs, not battery bug, no other weird issues. I'll probably try JVR next week.

Have fun flashing everyone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
If you think its not real contact them and ask
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irondevil:
i dont understand what is your doubt/fear about JVR?

ps i try to flash it but i get phone force close
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gradash:
someone, help plz... need stock JVR kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] embryo1:
no phone fc's and BT is working good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vorbeth:
Just extract it from the files...

Open PDA in WinRAR/7Zip and pull the zImage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
Why is there a Darkys rom in there???

if i wanted that i would go to there site, i thought samfirmware was for stock roms not custom ones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
Definately not a fear... more of an idle curiosity, just as others have mentioned also!

I haven't rerad about any other reports of force closing, until now, so hopefully your experience is just a 'one off'.

About XXJVR

Hi guys :)

I read that some of you want my opinion about this firmware, at least, this is what I understood of some of the posters in this thread.

I have downloaded the firmware and unpacked it, the first that got me thinking is the date of the CSC file.

Looking closer in the CSC file, I could find out that the CSC file was not made for XXJVR but is the old XXJVQ CSC package.

If you want check by your self then use UltraISO or MagicISO on Windows to show and extract the content of the cache.rfs file, if you are a Linux user then just extract the cache.rfs file using the decompressing utility.

Some of you did mention that the firmware does not include the Daily Briefing utility, well, Samsung did move this application from the regular /system partition to the /data/app folder on /data partition so you have to look for it on the cache.rfs file. Even if the application is there and is being copied but it will not work because the files don't belong to this firmware.

My conclusion is

, this firmware is incomplete and I will not use it, even if it later shows that the PHONE and PDA files are genuine, because it's not complete and includes files that does not belong to it. Please understand that this is my opinion.

So please don't ask me to add a link to the firmwares thread or deodex this firmware.

There were questions regarding the small and empty cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs in the PDA file, those files are used to format /cache and /dbdata prior to writing on these partitions. The big dbdata.rfs file that is included in the CSC package does include Samsung commercial/video/music material, I don't include this file because every one of you will end up deleting them and to make the firmware package smaller for you to download.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
Many thanks for the clarification [Ramad].

Having read your comments I think that I too will be stearing clear of this one for now.

Let's just hope we have a more reliable 'leak' before too long.

Bootloader problems after flashing JVR

I flashed this rom with ODIN with repartition over MIUI 1.7.29 - problems started after I wanted to go back. I turned the download mode on and I found out that it is active but the windows do not recognize the device (tried other devices). Once i turbned the device off it yould not be started again.

Unless I put the battery with les percentage into the device and put it on charger with power button pressed (then quickly disconnect the cable once the baterry charging animation shows up), it wont start. The same goes wirth 3e recovery.

The phone was not rooted, and it does not have CWM installed. I am without hope, Google, the greatest of all, did not offer me any kind of solution.

Is there any way how to root 2.3.4 SGS JVR without ODIN or CWM? So i could install CWM and flash CM7 or whatever else instead? THX.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Thanks @ramad for your opinion.

I think the creator or the person who posted this ROM should respond to these questions to clarify the concerns.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irondevil:
xd sorry for my bad english i dont want to intend "fear"

after the phone fc i reflash jvq rom but with jvr kernel and it is so fast in my opinion it scores 1746 with quadrant and no lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
Well the CSC.tar contains the images for cache an dbdata (cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs). These files should not contains any relevant data until using the system. Sooo my conclusion is: I don't care about those files as long as the rest is uptodate...

EDIT: I converted those filesystems to ext4 anyway, so even less problem...

JVR works very well on my SGS so far (>8 hours).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
Thanks Ramad we bow to your expertise new there was something wrong
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Raider0001:
Just flashed JVR everything seems very good, speed is pretty much same as JVQ which is very good without any modding, now what i need is working CIFS with CF-Root
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
Gone back to jvq as jvr is not pure jvr
[Galaxy S I9000 General] H2EH2E:
EVERYTHING WORKS : auto brightness, bluetooth, gps, 3G, TV out. / battery OK
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android.GB:
Friends dont try to install different modem on this firmware.I tried changing modem but flashing failed and i got black screen of death,my phone was almost bricked but fortunatly i managed to enter into recovery through JIG and install 2.3.3 firmware with 512 pit and repartion.This firmware seems bit too strange for me.I never got any problem while changing modem with any firmware in past including JVP and JVQ

I also read all the conversation and i think samfirmware is doing unfair treatment to others devlopers by posting darky rom on thier website.All devlopers needs equal respect and oppurtunity in open source devlopment.I think darky and its crew are capable of nothing except such childish act(which prove that they have become mentally retard.Now i feel fear using any of darky custom and well as roms leaked by them because my phone contains valuable personal data including bank account details and credit card details.So I think they may modify firmware to send such information to their server
[Galaxy S I9000 General] embryo1:
I flashed firmware XXJVR with pit 512 en repartition checked. Then I flashed the XENJV4 CSC, without pit and repartition. No problems. Then I flashed modem XXJVQ the same way, without pit and repartition. Again no problems. Now I am back on modem XXJVR, flashed only the .tar. No BSOD.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonymy01:
Modem worked fine for me? This seems more polished than JVQ to me, I was getting many black screen of deaths and reboots a day with JVQ and have had none so far with JVR... touch wood. I have been using it all night (to restore all properly with titanium etc) and web surfing etc, all things that would break jvq, and jvr has been reliable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
You mean, it's not complete because cache and dbdata filesystem are from the older release?

:rolleyes:

If you think that this as any influence on the behaviour and stability of the system... well, OK!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
JVR -fixed- spottings:

- Phone.apk FC (HOT TO TRIGGER BUG POST LINK) - NOT FIXED

- m4a tags reading (HOW TO CHECK POST LINK) - FIXED

- cfroot wifi/bt/gps - FIXED

- wifi seems to be improved in therms of signal streanght recived and in consequence speed connected - but this could be placebo as well

- using battery after charging it to 100% with AC still plugged in - to be determined

- power usage of wifi in connected but idle state - to be determined

- browser lag after dodexing / moding framework.odex - to be determined (probably it will lag but i can wish)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pele78:
i love reading these comments...

One comment that always pops up on each release is

WOW THIS ROM IS BLAZING FAST

seems like every release is blazing fast :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titijuli:
wow! it seems you know what are u talking about... :eek::)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
same as with galaxian kernel - every version is stable, fastest and everything is fixed - and then again next version =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FLaMiNGo_:
Great!! Thank you @$omator ;)

We will wait for next results!!!

Specially for - using battery after charging it to 100% with AC still plugged in - to be determined

EDIT: I don't know if this information will be helpful but, maybe could be something that incapacitates the phone to switch into 'deep sleep mode' when AC is plugged?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
wierd thing with phone fc once it fc once not :) idk on what it os dependable atm ive loaded 600mb of pictures to gallery and am testing its performance :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ppavlovic:
After reading some of the comments about changed files inside i considered to not reflash with this new rom too.I just don't trust to darky community kiddies...So if someone will post untouched files maybe i will flash too...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] guijarrelson:
I have a problem with the wifi. I get an IP in a DHCP router, but can't finish the connection with the router. It shows looking for an IP....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
- using volume up/down still lights up the buttons - should not

- uploading 700mb of pics to gallery is not good idea (~10 minutes of making thumbnails -> close 100% usage - but after that all ok)

as for your wifi problem maybe go to cwm recovery (not the app but menu) and fix permissions? had same problem and it was caused by wrong permissions set by one of my scripts :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FLaMiNGo_:
@$omator I edited my last post with information that i don't know if could be helpful for you (or other people too)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
deep sleep or not phone IMO should use ac/usa as long as it is connected to it not start using battery as fast as it is fully charged ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
...post deleted.......

...deleted,irrelevant....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FLaMiNGo_:

Heimdall firmware package

I created a Heimdall firmware package for XXJVR. You can load it into Heimdall (version 1.3+) and customize the package before flashing.

Download (Multiupload)​

Stop messing with Odin, guys, it's closed source, proprietary, and has voodoo (not the Supercurio kind!). Heimdall is open source, cross platform, and has interesting features being developed (like 1.3's addition of "firmware packages")!

More links:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
mine works 10 days already, but i am using to phone sms only no playing,...

Very funny! After all the posts on this thread I found only 2 useful and 1 of them are $omators tests, cheers dude.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
want more? :) unless i did not messed up files hehe what is ofc possible

Camera.apk / DialerTabActivity.apk / framework-res.apk / Mms.apk / Phone.apk / Settings.apk / SystemUI.apk / TouchWiz30Launcher.apk / android.policy.jar / framework.jar / services.jar

are 1:1 identical with JVQ HA!

i guess changes were made under the hood =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flo2lacanau:
same bootloarder as JVQ ? or do we have to flash new JVR bootloader ?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sebarkh:
OMG< this firmware is blazing fast, no exegerration... Titanium restores my 112 apps so fast... Am I missing sth?

Maybe they did not change most of the core files as they are ok and only made tweaks under the hood...

But that's true, I was affraid in the beginning... I have a banking app installed... too much to lose.. But could not resist...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
despite decompiled fales being the same

DO NOT USE JVQ files on JVR =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HRN93:
So is it still possible to add the "daily briefing" app?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OurBenefactors:
I'm getting a little bit paranoid about the whole deal that the files might have been modified in some way. Don't really know if I should revert to JVQ or just stay with JVR, since so far it's really great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
looking at changelog number it almost doubled so it is bugfixed a lot just not outside the box but inside of it =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NasrulBond:
oh well, so this firmware is safe to flash? i'm still on JVP odexed and after reading all the comments here, seems like some files in JVR have been modified. so whatcha saying? flash or no flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i need to smoke more but i see more and more edits =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ppavlovic:
Where did you get the full changelog?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i did get it? i am just compareing the number =)

anyways services.* have a change in alarmmanagerservicce*

and that is i guess fix for the bug as some called it

when clearing memory, disactivated the alarm/clock also

it is not listed now as an active app - > can not be cleared - BUGFIX OF ALARM BUG

so this is on of things that is changed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
no cheering?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titooo7:
In what kind of movie did the people learn the term "blazing fast"???

Probably the two words more used in the history of galaxy s forums....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
Whats Happening...!!!

Why have only a few people flashed the latest JVR???

Normally everyone flashes new ROMs immediately and forum posts grow rapidly as more and more people provide feedback.

This has now made me nervous, so I am holding back!

Anyone else feel the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] habylab:
Its because it was released in partnership with Darky and his crew, which in itself is odd. If it is a plain and simple leak, why make a 'deal' with Darky? I think it may just be JVQ with some fixes Darky applied, or its a partial leak.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cHarOn99:
maybe because most are already very happy with JVQ, or maybe they first wait for the custom rom they use to get updated,....................
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chx:
I was also waiting for this bug to be fixed, but after my testing it seems that it is not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
i installed jvr but went back to jvq as i dont think its pure jvr
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FLaMiNGo_:
+1

And also a lot of people are trying the 'Darky version' and posting at his forum...

It was a 'good marketing trick' of Darky's team...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androiderrr:
Correct.Even ramad has said not to use this ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lunasea:
I've flashed it... since when can one trust leaked software? we all know the risks, and it's not the fact that darky's crew is involved that makes a big difference. Just my 2cents.

The only thing to point here is the total lack of respect for the community from those kids... whats next? sell leaks to the higher bet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androiderrr:
Have you guys seen samsung galaxy s wiki page.In update section there is a special mention of only darky ROM not of any other devlopers ROM(not even of cyanogenmod)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NasrulBond:
yeah, i wonder how those darkyy crew managed to sneak in and seal a deal with samfirmware. that's one hell of a question in my mind right now. sigh

i dunno when will samsung finally released an official version for 2.3.4 somehow.
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
when i run nandroid in TWRP, the wimax.win and winmax.win.md5 files are 0KB. when i copy them over to my PC and open them in notepad, they are blank as well.

since i live in san diego, i've never been able to use 4G (tearz). do you need to make a 4G connection before getting RSA keys? any idea what is going on?
[HTC EVO 3D] ktulu909:
Weird,my wimax nanadroid is 12MB
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
answering my own post.

on the 3rd time i ran it, it worked. just an fyi to check your backups before you flash anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
that's the size mine is now that the backup worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
Guess the TWRP doesnt work as well as everyone seems to think.
[HTC EVO 3D] sdezrilov:
Nice post, glad to see mine appear to be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I have 3 nand backups so far, each with the wimax partition included. Each one is 12mb, so no problems here. That is strange that it didn't work the first couple times for you. Maybe send a PM to AssassinsLament, or someone else in teamwin to report the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I'm using clockworkmod and so far everything's good.

You can't lose those rsa keys!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigirish:
/sadface

Ok, I'm one of those unfortunate idiots that didn't verify the TWRP backup of my RSA keys before I went and flashed over another rom. To top it all off, I just deleted my backups! /failsauce. I'm running SupraRom, and when I go into Settings >> About Phone, it says my 4G MAC address is unknown. Should I be concerned?

I know that on my OG Evo, I was able to verify my keys through terminal emulator - is that still a viable method of checking? If it is, I can't remember the code string for the life of me. Any thoughts guys?
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I live in San Diego and go on the 4Gs all time.
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
no. it only says the MAC if your 4G antenna is on.
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
yeah right!

if you aren't lying, where do you get a 4G signal?
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
There's an app in the market to check to see if your RSA keys are present.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigirish:
Yeah, I remember that there was one. Just checked the market, can't find anything. Do you remember what the name of that app was/is?
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Here's the link. It says won't work on any other device besides the EVO/EVO Shift. You can give it a shot though, maybe it'll work.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys&feature=search_result
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Uh, I'm not lying and I've been using it for some time now. Go to clear.com and you can look at the coverage map, its pretty accurate.

College area and la jolla are the main places I use it, as well as some parts of la mesa.
[HTC EVO 3D] Quiksmage:
Thanks for posting this. I was also under the impression that san diego had no 4g coverage. SDSU area is lit up.

My current area has no coverage, but when i check the 4g button it almost instantly goes to "disconnected" while leaving the box checked. I can hit scan, but it doesn't actually do anything and just says "disconnected". I can see the MAC ID in the software settings while it is checked too. Did I lose my keys or is this all normal. I didn't back them up D=.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
That's normal unless you are in a 4g coverage area
[HTC EVO 3D] illwafer:
im in PQ and work in Miramar. no towers are lit here. lucky you.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Lame, I know some people were able to get 4g in miramar for some time about a year ago, in fact tours the first place in San Diego that I heard 4g was released. It looks like they claim to have coverage on the base, so maybe there are a few limited areas of miramar where a weak signal can be picked up our something.

Supposedly San Diego is a hard area to cover because of the terrain :-(
[HTC EVO 3D] darinf:
I am in the College Grove area of San Diego and I can get very weak 4G from my house. It's funny, the only place in my house I can get 4G reliably is at my desk.

Yes, I think the clear.com coverage map is pretty accurate. It's strange that there is an isolated patch of green near my house, but nothing else around there at all. That's the spot I must be picking up.

Why would they just have one small dot of 4G coverage?

It looks like they have the colleges covered: San Diego State and UC San Diego

Makes sense I guess. You would think they would want to cover downtown.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
My guess is that you are getting the signal from sdsu or something, that somehow reaches your area but is blocked to surrounding areas due to terrain or structures.
[Off-topic] harlaquin:
OK I am fairly new here, But I can now see why alot of people are leaving this forum and going to others. One main gripe i have is moderators up and moving posts all over the place. Ill be coming back to check a post and then all of a sudden its gone? no idea where it went have to dig through 20 topics to find it. lots of this going on as of late.

Not to mention some of my own posts moved for no reason, well at least not ones that make sence. Had one moved from general to off topic why? my post was a general post about tblet and phone things it wasent an off topic post.

also had a post for the acer iconia a500 moved from the acer iconis a500 forum becasue it was a question??? Um would not people looking for questions and answers about the iconia go look in that section? No ones gonna go to the q&a section to look for my acer iconia spacific topic. makes no sence that it was moved.

I have noticed a few devs have also abandoned xda becasue of the silliness here and moved to other forums.

OK so let me know where your gonna move this topic too ok I put it in off topic sooo. I guess im not off topic enough?
