[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.

and from that its easy :)

As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.

use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.

read a little and after that have fun!! :)

And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:
Hi,

Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz

So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.

When would I need root then?

Is that right?

This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).

And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.

Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's

I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat da punk:
sorry for this nooob question....

new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????

sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.

I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.

So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.

The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.

So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:
Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?

Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?

Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.

As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.

but I am not an expert on that.

from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.

So i cant give you a 100% answer :)

you should post questions in the Q & A section...

to answer your ? revolutionary is best way, and you can run a RUU to "un-root", you currently need H-Boot 1.40 or lower to use Revolutionary. Search button here will find Revolutionary and other info needed. There are only 10 or so guides on the subject.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I have moved all the apps I have that let me, to my SD card through the stock systems menu>settings>manage applications>Move to SD options.

I want to flash a new ROM. After flashing the ROM. Will all the data for those apps carry over? Is there anything that needs to be done to get them to work? Or will I boot up with the new ROM and go to app drawer and all the apps will still be there working just fine?

Also, when people talk about restoring apps, not data, I'm not quite sure how this works......

I have MyBackup Pro/Root version. Is App Data the data that is not supposed to be restored? From my understanding, that is what, for example, keeps the progress I have made in a game. Otherwise I have to start over. (And I JUST fully upgraded my level 10 car in Drag Racing! Ha ha).

Any help would be appreciated. Tried searching but didn't find anything related exactly to this. Well I did find one thread, but the OP fixed and and simply stated he fixed it, not how.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
generally when people are talking about restoring user apps+data and not system data, they are referring to Titanium Backup which is the de facto in backup/restore, and there are options when restoring. you never restore system data or system apps, but any user apps+data is ok to restore.

i dont know about anything related to apps on SD. i NEVER use it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Moving all your apps to the sd card is a waste of time. It will do nothing for you. It will not save your app data. Best to leave them on the phone. Backup your user apps and apps data as Pirateghost suggested with Titanium. Wipe the phone, install your new ROM and use titanium to restore your apps and apps data only. Do not backup or restore any system apps. Unless titanium backup has changed it will not restore apps MOVED to the sd card to the sd card. It will restore them on the phone's memory. That is why I suggest keeping your apps on the phone's internal memory.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
Ah. Guess I should not believe the benefits flaunted around all the App 2 SD card things. I think it was that APP2SD App that says it frees up available phone memory when you move apps from phone to SD. Made sense to me..

I guess the phone has some space set aside for it's "RAM"? And no apps will be able to use that as storage space?

I'll move the stuff back then before I do the backup. Also, when I first started with Android and modding it, I bought MyBackup Pro. Does Titanium Backup do something better/different?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Titanium will also backup the app data. Example: game saves.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
OK good to know. I'll probably buy that then.

Last question then with TB. When you restore apps with it, will it keep track in market that it's installed? I remember when I restored with MyBackup Pro, those apps were not listed under "My Apps" in market place, and didn't show as "installed" in market place, and therefore would not update. I had to uninstall them and install from market anyway... Does TB take care of things on that end?
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
the only time I used app 2 SD card is for the memory,sure some apps are like 2+mbs but it helps to move apps 2 Sd card to save from internal memory.. thats all.

I use Titanium back up and I just do a back up here and there.. and I just re flashed a rom and it just restored all my apps again. But also if you have (which im sure you do) Rom manager just do a ROM back up/System back whatever you want to call it. Its always good to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
yes, Tibu takes care of that for you. there is even a 'market doctor' built in that will scan apps and add stuff to market for you
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
You mean running out of internal storage space? Or was it taking a chunk out of the RAM memory?

Thanks! I'll definitely buy it now..

I was just curious about what you think about Windows 8. So I started this poll to see it in percent. :p

Please comment about what you think of it :D
[Windows 8 General] AdamOutler:
This is a desktop operating system. It does not belong on XDA-Developers.com

They've even said that developers will have to write different versions of their apps for ARM platform because of battery requirements. This will not run on a XDA device and it's out of place on XDA. Desktops are not personal or cellular digital assistants(XDAs).

Please add my option, I'll select it.
[Windows 8 General] AdamOutler:
Wait... scratch that.... Add in the "I want a Linux forum" and "I want a mac forum"
[Windows 8 General] AndroHero:
Stop acting like a troll and get a life. First you need to educate yourself about what XDA are all about. second before running your mouth like a child, research Microsoft's roadmap. Microsoft intend to merge there desktop and mobile operating systems by windows 9 or 10. By then there will be no windows phone. Just one unified platform. Furthermore you already know that Microsoft have added support for ARM architecture already into windows 8, which will allow the OS to be ported to a number of mobile devices. Not just tablets.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

XDA Developers have nothing to do with personal digital assistants. When the community was founded as a HTC development forum. The first device the admins got hold of was an 02 UK HTC Device. Back then the O2 HTC devices were branded XDA. Hence the name........
[Windows 8 General] AdamOutler:
Yep.. cross digital assistant. XDA.

A desktop operating system has nothing to do with a digital assistant.

I installed it on my 3 year old netbook yesterday... Its a preview but its not a great one. Not much works...

What did work:

-IE10

-Control panel

-Desktop tile

-Internet tile

-resize tile move tiles delete tiles

-windows 7 desktop is very much there.

-UI metro? IS basically just skinned over windows7. I have no experience with windows7 so i dont know how close it is.

Did not work:

-most of the tiles that looked fun

-resolution was locked at 800x600

- no options to change resolution

-no microsoft updates. it was there but obviously does not connect to updates

-limited wallpaper.

My netbook is obviously very very minimum spec so the expreince was very slow and sluggish..

I could mouse click to simulate some finger gestures.

Re-installed XP about an hour later

[Windows 8 General] Meticode:
I like it and I think it'll only get better. I like what Microsoft is doing, because I feel eventually most of peoples' main computers will end up being touch-based tablets anyway. And the one thing that's kept me from purchasing a tablet is not being able to play with a full operating system. While I feel Windows 8 won't be totally full, I think it'll fall between something like iOS and Android and a full windows operating system to where it integrates well on a tablet.

I do feel they need to change some things up on the regular desktop/explorer experience is it feels more well with the Metro theme.

I'm still waiting for things like Windows Media Player tiles and such that update songs.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
I have to say i am supprised that this sub forum is on here just now, yes Win8 Will run on ARM but it doesnt now, and to my knowledge there isnt any available win8 OS that will just yet.

I have no doubt that at some point we wil have access to the ARM Windows OS and that development will begin in porting it in to our devices, but it is somewhat early to be talking about it, it might be even easier than we think, given that MS has a long tradition of dumping gigabytes of drivers on its install disks :)

Still, it does no harm so theres no point ranting on about it, just a wee bit supprised its up so early, is someone getting a bit too excited perhaps? ;)
[Windows 8 General] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm not sure if I could use it as a desktop system but as a tablet OS could it work.

I would like to buy a tablet because I like the idea and the portability of them. My problem with the at the moment available tablets is that they are big phones.

With Win8 we could have a "big" OS on a tablet (I know there are Win7 tablets but they are not really good) and that could be really interesting.

I can't vote at the moment because I don't like what I have to choose. "Could be interesting" would be the right answer for me.

[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
To be honest, from what ive read of Win8 it all sounds very good, Metro aside that is, i quite like metro from a tablet point of view but thats about as far as ive gotten with it :)

It would be ubber cool if they can "clone" a desktop display to a tablet, it would make for an ultimate remote control for a media centre :) oh and allow computers to be media centre extenders

yeah i know various remote desktop clients are out there but none of them (correct me if im wrong) will also display videos and give the same level of UI response, it needs a hodgepodge of 3rd party tools to get it working and even then with a laggy control.

[Windows 8 General] whistler-nl:
I think windows 8 is not something aimed at the desktop pc's like all previous version but more like a tablet or mobile platform.

[Windows 8 General] Convel:
It does seem like a very big step for Microsoft, and being able to run Windows on ARM definitely is a step in the right direction. However, I do think they're focusing a bit too much on thouch, as some desktop tasks have now become more time consuming.
[Windows 8 General] roostaamir:

[Windows 8 General] primetechv2:
Allowing touchscreen-based apps on a desktop computer is a godsend of an idea, although Microsoft's implementation if it seems silly given their professional users. Windows phones just aren't popular enough to base a whole desktop interface off them, although their designs are being adopted by Google slowly. It's not that they're pushing a bad idea, it's just that they are abandoning their bread and butter. Unlike Research in Motion, they don't have a reason to make a drastic change.

I'm sure Apple will copy it, change it slightly, and call it their own. And then Microsoft will either continue pimping their product by making it more similar, or getting sued by Apple, probably both.

The Windows 7 desktop is an "App" for windows 8. Metro is the root OS in windows 8. Notice how when you are using the desktop "App" you can still drag in from the right side to show your charms bar. That's because you are still in the metro OS using an "App" called desktop. If you want to turn off metro there are two options:

1) shut down your pc

2) reinstall another OS

My main issue is with the bootloader. Reminds me of what manufacturers are/were doing to Android device bootloaders.
[Windows 8 General] evanSGOZ:
Love It

Currently running the consumer preview on my main desktop as the primary OS (running on a seperate 1TB HDD; 8gb ram, AMD FX-4100 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.)

It run's just as smoothly as windows 7 does, with the occasional problem of an unresponsive program if i attempt to do too much multi-tasking between the metro/desktop style apps. Nothing that has hindered my performance or work to a point that i would be irritated.

Tried running SC2, WoW, DCUO, Dues Ex; and have watched well over a dozen hours of video of different file formats, using different programs (native windows app, VLC, divx) and have yet to have and problem with playback.

To those saying the Metro UI apps aren't working; it seems to me they just take a little longer to load than the desktop based apps currently (something i'm sure will be fixed) It also seemed even though the icons were present right after install; the applications them self's still needed to be installed from the store before I could get them to launch, May have just been a problem with my install though.

EDIT:

I would also agree with people saying the bootloader is a complaint; it is just awfully simple and not particularly nice to stare at as you wait for your computer to load. It does seem that the boot-up time has decreased 10-20 seconds in comparison to my W7; haven't actually timed it so can't say exactly.
