Hello guys. I put MIUI (Boogies Rom 3.1) on SGS and I it's like a dream. This firmware is absolutely perfect for me, with one exception: The TV-Out doesn't work... I really need this feature and I know there no fix for this problem and it works not on AOSP Rom's. So my question is, what's a good alternative to MIUI Rom? (please only Gingerbread)

(I'm a noob. Sorry for my bad English)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WILMANS2M:
well i just see my systemui.

if you go to layout/statusbar.xml you see this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon"

If we go to styles/textappearance.statusbar you see this :

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar">

<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:textAppearanceSmall</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@drawable/notification_header_text_color</item>

for color, go to value/drawable.xml you see this :

/<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_text_color">#ff969696</item>

Maybe you need to change this.

I find also on clock.smali this line :

invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/Clock;->setTextColor(I)V

So maybe it is smali related too.

Good luck.

Can you tell me what is the difference between JVP, JVQ and JVR roms
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginosergio:
Hard question !!!

So fun, this thread, an answer to every question ?

I have not read it fully, I think it will be useless, but I really want to ask you (if you really are a god of Galaxy) what you think about this problem:

I have a Galaxy S currently on Gingerbread 2.3.4, a Samsung ROM that I found on a forum, loaded with Odin.

It's version: I9000XXJVP

Kernel; 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642 se.infra@SEP-40 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVP

I usually load many software and games on my phones, and the suspect is that is always something of these that bring problems, not the Operating System Itself. Maybe some software in nor written very well.

So the problem is that the phone sometime "die" during the day.

I took it out of my pocket, it should be in standby, but when I press the hom button or the on/off button on the side, nothing happens, it remains black.

The only way to have it working again it took the battery out and restart.

It is not a "low battery" problem, and it seems not to be related to some software that I use or have used during the day.

I had other problems with this Firmware, sometime losing memory or becoming slow, and a good solution I found was to schedule a complete restart every morning at 6:00. I still have this reset running, and it seems a good thing. But even this cannot be related with this "lock" problem.

What do you think ?

Thank you

Ser

I got the answer for your problem since I rectified it on my galaxy s. The battery contact pins of galaxy s is causing all the trouble. Its a known issue with galaxy s and samsung is either shamed or feared of loosing their reputation when it comes to this issue. All you need to do is insert a piece of paper on the other side of the battery (Opposite side of the contact pins) so that the battery sits tight. Now, I solved your problem and why don't you help me update my Galaxy S (Arabic) to Android 2.3? lol

Rom issues

Hey, i am running on bockbuster 5.5 with a talon kernel, jvr 2.3.4.

it has ppor battery performance, i am getting 5 hours of batterylie with very little internet use and no wifi or navigation. So i was thinking of switching to stock 2.3.5 jvs with darky 3.0.

My question is will i have to flash this with odin or can i use cwm ? If yes, how do i perform a wipe flash from cwm ?

If i have to do it from odin, do i need to tick on re-partition and update bootloaders ?

Also do i need to undo the ext4 and convert it back to rfs before i flash ?

After going on to 2.3.5 if i need to come back to 2.3.4 do i have to again tick on bootloaders and re-partition ?

And what is the exact function of bootloaders and re-partition, what is their purpose ?

If you know any good roms with stable battery performance, can you suggest me ?

i use my phone mostly for music, vvideos and a facebook check twice and hour. nothing performance based you see.

Thank you.

You have to flash from odin since.you want to upgrade to 2.3.5,not to install a same version rom. You dont have to tick repartition and bootloader update. I recommend tweaky rom for 2.3.5.

If you want to go back to 2.3.4 you dont have to tick those 2.

Press and hold Volume up+home button(physical button)+ power button until first boot screen appears(the static one),then let go all the buttons. the recovery menu should appear. navigate with volume buttons and select with power button "backup and restore" then select backup. this is nandroid backup. kernel is not backed up but you shouldnt worry about it. you can restore your backup from any other rom,but i think you should have the same kernel to succesfully restore.
