To make your life easier looking for the SGS4G Bible. It's generally on the first page of the dev forum anyway, but there you have it. It is full of amazing things you can do!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Flashing a custom ROM would be the traditional thing to do. I'm assuming you've never flashed a custom ROM before, much less on a Samsung phone.

So things to look out for would be learning Odin and ClockWork Mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ivette67:
In he bible i see a list of things to do but im so new to this i dont know the order of it all what do u recommend i do first??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pudgybunnyBry:
The first thing I did after rooting was use this thread to learn how to flash my first ROM. From there you should be able to figure out where to go with your SGS4G fairly easily!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
after you read that guide. download odin from the bible under the "useful files" section. then follow the noobs guide to odin (also in the bible) to odin "bali 3.3uv". i think it was posted by fbis in the dev section. this will give you the latest clockwork mod for the phone. with this...you are ready to flash. go to the dev section and choose your rom. when you figure it out. let me know and i will walk you through it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
it depends what you are doing. like i said. odin bali 3.3uv following the noobs guide to odin and we will go from there.

Search around the forum and see what sounds good. Make sure you read carefully too, before there's another "OMG, I BRICKED" thread. Even in the event that happens, be sure to search around the forums for immediate answers too.

We can't really tell you what ROMs to flash, as everybody has their own personal preference. However, if you just want something simple to flash, I think nothing gets more simple than Bionix Frost by Team Whiskey. As long as you read carefully, there will be no problems.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiesausage:
Hey guys.

I just bought me a Galaxy TAB, I've had it for about n hour, and having used android for a long time and currently using a Galaxy S II I pretty much flashed a ROM instantly.

All went good and what not, but when trying to play a video I get a multi-coloured screen, kind of like the old school tvs.

I hear audio but see nothing but all different fuzzy colours.

Anyone able to help me please?

EDIT: Ok, it's stopped it now? It's working normal. I flashed OverCome rom if it matters.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amlothi:
Hi all,

I have read a lot about this, and I've tried to do it on my own but I've encountered some problems. I hope the experts here can help me out.

Here is what I've tried so far:

1) Rooted the device (success)

2) Installed ES File Explorer via SD card

3) I found there is no vending.apk in the system/apps folder on my tablet. So I copied (I tried several versions I have downloaded or stripped from ROMS) and tried to install there.

Problem: When I click to install the vending.apk, it simply tells me that it wasn't installed. Permissions are set to rw.

Next, I tried using ADB to install the vending.apk. When I use ADB, I get either INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS or (after I delete the vending.apk from the tablet and try again) I get INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

At this point I'm at a loss. Am I trying to use the wrong vending.apk version or something?

-----

I have also found this post on a Chinese forum regarding the tab. I'm posting the Chinese and Google translate version (in case you can read the original).

The link to dowload the "Google service pack" is expired. What is this file? How do I get it, and what do I do with it?

I keep getting these weird texts from 6250 saying VZWNMN 1 and VZWNMN 2. Anyone else see this?

Me to. Comes prior to every email. VZW said they never heard of it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
I used to receive these, but I figured out how to stop them!

1. Login to your MyVerizon.

2. Find your number and click on Change Features from the bottom right.

3. Select your device/number.

4. Then scroll down until you find Contact Management and click remove!

And they're gone.

I've synced/added gmail and yahoo mail accounts at setup and found that only the yahoo account was affected. Now I just use yahoo mail through their app and the functionality is much better/no VZWNMN emails.

This problem seemed to change from ROM to ROM(some were affected, some not).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I had this problem when I went from a Sense rom back to CM7. I think it happens because on the Sense rom, during setup, it syncs your contacts and email to Verizon. When I flashed a different rom, it could no longer sync.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
This has to be one of the most annoying things Verizon has done. I don't mind it syncing. It is actually kind of cool. I don't know how many times I have deleted a very important email and had no backup.

But texting me everytime I get an email is annoying and a pain.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmmthmtskier:
For awhile, I was avoiding ROMs(like MIUI for me) that seemed to have this VZWNMN problem more than others I was using.

I've found that using a market email app(for me, Yahoo!) is better than trying to use the installed android email app for non-Google email. Functionality(like folders) is much better, too.

If you use Titanium to back-up apps, you don't need to re-sign into your email app when you change ROM's, just restore and away you go...

I think this is a run to get as many out as possible before Amazon releases a tablet.
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
thats my vote.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Are you guys wrongly comparing Brand-new NC vs. Refurbished NC?

Amazon tablet has nothing to do with those price-dropping NOOKC.

If the brand-new NC is dropping price then it's legitimate to say because of the impact of the Amazon tablet, this is not, this is refurbished, people.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I have 2 that do not look at all to be anything but new. I suspect that B&N is flooding the market and you may get new or refurb. Have you ever seen any tech gizmo that was this popular and had this many refurbs floating around? Unless you have some solid inside info from either Amazon or B&N I take your advice as simply an opinion. :)
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
the nook color price hasnt dropped, its been $249 for a while now

the nook color refurbished price has dropped, from $225 to $169.

the reason for the glut of refurbs? no idea/opinion.

is B&N reselling refurbished NC's for cheaper and cheaper, an attempt at saturating the channel before amazon releases their tablet(s)? perhaps.

i got mine about a month or two ago for $189 from b&n through ebay; so could read books, comics, study, and do light surfing (reading the tech news). i only got it b/c i could root it, which i did via microSD card and run android/CM7. my wife has been "borrowing" it during the day to read books while at work (she is a nanny). she also will be "borrowing" it to read books when she stays home with our first child, in the fall. she finds being able to read a book with one hand and turn the page with a finger MUCH easier, especially when holding a baby. she loves the quality of the screen and is getting used to the touch screen interface.

will any other tablet de-throne the NC for the sub $200-250 tablet market segment - only time will tell. competition is a good thing for all consumers. i look forward to new tablets, but i will probably stick with my $250 investment (NC, 16gb microSD card, silicon cover, screen protector, neoprene bag) for at least 1-2 years unless anyone comes out with a tablet that is as fast as my workstation/desktop for surfing for approx. $250, which will probably happen in 1-2 years at the rate we are currently moving. that, or the battery fails to maintain a charge after doing 50% drain every day. The question is, will tablets hit the metaphorical wall, as we did with computers and the current 3-4ghz processor "cap"? only time will tell.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jmh625:
After failing at updating my phone and sending it to LG to have it done I am having so very annoying issues. Applications seem to just randomly dissapear everyday. I download it, useit, and everyday at some point I go to play a game or use a app I downloaded and it says application not installed. Like I delted it or something. Icon is still on home screen, but when I go to market place every app I downloaded says no installed. I even switch apps to my micro sd card to save phone memory. What gives? Also wifi doesnt work anymore. takes for ever to connect, and when it finally does connect the internet doesnt work. When I try to watch youtube videos or browse it takes forever for things to download or upload even with FULL 4G (from reading around TMO did a little false advertising as you dont know when you "actually" have 4G or 3G on this phone unless you go to phone info and check. BS if you ask me). Videos will play for a few seconds and buffer until I just give up.

While I love the update for the eye candy I am not impressed with the performance. Phone service seems to be better. I have full bars more otfen, but the performance isnt up to par.

I am also wondering if my wife having the HTC sensation has something to do with the slow DATA. As she watches alot of youtube and browses the net alot on her phone. Could TMO be slowing our Data b/c of over use?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
The apps disappearing probably has to do with your sdcard. When the apps "disappear" is your sdcard mounted to your phone? If your sdcard is mounted to your computer via USB cable, or if your sdcard is removed, then any apps that you've moved to your sdcard won't load.

Yeah it pisses me off b/c I didnt have these problems before. I had the reboot problem but noticed they were far and few between when I did a hard reset.

I guess I can deal with having to do hard resets and downloading games apps multiple times, but I would really like to get my wifi up and running again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
My droid incredible has been having some major problems with any GPS-related functions when flashing to custom ROMs. I've tried CM7, OMGB, OMFGB, and MIUI so far. The GPS worked great in OMGB and OMFGB after updating the radio, but when I tried this on CM7 and MIUI (both of which seemed much smoother and refined), no dice. I've also tried completely reflashing the rom (yes, I did wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache), uninstalling WeatherBug, flashing 4 different radios (4.08, 11.19, 5.02 and 5.06) as well as reflashing the original stock 7.28 radio, and even tried that fix through a sense rom where you dial some ## number and then enter some MSL number. That didn't seem to work for me, the call didn't even go through. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get GPS to work on either of the custom ROMs that I love. Major bummer, because I used GPS daily on stock 2.2 Froyo before rooting my phone. I'd appreciate any help at all on this issue and I really would like to get my phone's GPS functionality working again.

P.S. - I've already spent countless hours searching XDA as well as other forums about this issue, and the above list of troubleshooting steps is what I've come up with so far. Please don't lecture me with a useless response such as "Use the search function" as I have already done so. Thanks;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Seems like you've done your research. Have you tried an app titled "GPS Status & Toolbox" in the market?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
Just tried that app but no luck. I tried clearing the current GPS settings and then downloading new ones. Anything I'm missing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I only saw mention of AOSP roms, did you try using *228 on a Sense rom? I'm not sure if there's a difference performing this on an AOSP rom but I recall folks saying to do that on a Sense rom. As you stated, GPS worked on two roms just not MIUI or CM7, which is weird. Have you returned to or are you currently using OMGB and OMFGB and retained your ability to use gps? I'm trying to rule out this being a hardware issue since you noted GPS failed on two of four roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
Just reflashed OMFGB, and now GPS DOESN'T work?!?!?!?!? I've tried everything all over again, format SD card, reflash radio, I'm clueless.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Do you recall performing anything on your phone that may have messed with the gps? Do you restore system data at all with something like Titanium? My only other suggestion is to flash rmk40's gingerbread leak found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087077

The reason I'm suggesting is due to the 3G drop issue that people have fixed by flashing this. I'm doubtful, but maybe this could resolve the gps issue as well? Aside from this, I'm hoping another XDA member has suggestions/solution as it looks like hardware failure if you do not recall anything odd that caused the gps issues.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
I do use Titanium to restore system data. I flashed from CM7 to MIUI and did a batch restore of EVERYTHING, and got a FC on android.process.acore. I reflashed MIUI and the FC problem was fixed, but GPS still did not work. After this I flashed back to OMFGB and even complete stock 2.2 with sense, still no GPS. I will try your suggestion above, however I'm doubting this is a hardware problem as my GPS worked fine before rooting my phone. I'm guessing I screwed up something to do with the software, I just don't know enough about the subject to make an educated guess about what I screwed up. Anyway, I'll try flashing that gingerbread leak and let you know. Thanks for all the help so far guys.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
No luck. GPS still is not working.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Aight, well one thing is you are not supposed to backup/restore system data. Idk how deep it affects rom flashes but that is very likely the source of your gps issues. Have you flashed a rom without restoring anything and checking gps? With titanium you are supposed to backup user data. If you ask many dev's, they strongly discourage backing up system data.

1) flash a rom (step 2 is an option within Settings in gingerbread roms, idk about froyo roms)

2) if you want to completely start from scratch Cancel google restore by NOT signing into your google account upon initial setup. Go into Settings>Privacy and uncheck "Back up my settings" as well as "Automatic Restore."

3) sign into your google account and let it sync

4) test your gps

If you always restore system data through Titanium each time you flashed a rom PRIOR TO testing gps, this may have resulted in your problems.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmokey:
I'd have to agree with slimsnoop, my first flash I made the mistake of restoring system data and everything went crazy wifi freaked, gps, repeated fc's. I'd try flashing then try gps, if its working then i'd restore apps one by one and see if any interfere with the gps. If that doesn't work then i'd go stock, master clear/factory reset and see how that goes make sure EVERYTHING important is backed up to your pc cause it will wipe it clean, if none of that works then i'd leave it stock and take it in for replacement or repair if possible.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoshreddax21:
Tried that on Cyanogenmod just now, and I unchecked "backup my settings", however "automatic restore" was checked and greyed out, I couldn't do anything about that one. Also, I had to sign into my google account in order to download maps so I could test it. So if google sync is interfering with the GPS I'm not able to stop it from syncing on a custom rom. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I've actually already tried a complete restore back to 2.2, as well as a factory reset once I"m already at stock configuration. I'll try that again tonight if I get a chance. Is there anything you can recommend when retsoring back to factory configuration? any hidden settings I'm missing that have something to do with the radio or GPS or wireless settings?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmokey:
No the only settings I've found for gps is location for pics and stuff, besides a factory reset should of changed it all back anyways, i'd say its a hardware issue but seeing as two roms were working at one point and not now it kind of seems that maybe something isn't getting erased with factory reset thats catching you up, I'm not sure what the code is for yours but i'd try the actual master clear code. I read somewhere theres a difference between factory reset and master clear not sure if there really is though, and if you can find a secret code list there might be something where you can change the gps sat pool. When I get home tonight I'll do some digging and see if I can't find something to get this working for you
