What exactly are you trying to do? I mean you try to flash a zip with cwm? If so you go in to install zip and either choose the internal or external memory and choose the zip you want to install. Maybe you also need to reflash the cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
What im saying is I had cwm and starburst running awesome , I went to flash a theme and the phone fell out of my as I was clicking the button and then nothing happen when back in recovery it was no longer cwm it was android with nothing else to choose from

Right, ive had a i9000 for 5 months or so, and ever since i got it, ive found it to be slow, at times laggy. And hate alot of the crap samsung put on it.Which ive not even used.

I reckon its about time i start to make the most of my phone, but dont really know where to start, with these custom roms and rooting and what not.

I basically want it to run smoothly and possibly add a tweaks/features to it which could possibly improve it. However i remember reading somewhere, that ill lose the camera features if i install a custom rom. :l (i could be talking from my arse here)

Also i read that android 4.0 is coming or has come out. Would i be able to upgrade my phone to it ? and should i ?? If not what is the best rom to flash which will make my phone faster and smoother.

Is there anything at all to make it significantly faster, or is it limited by hardware :/

Im currently on:

kernal version 2.6.29

firmware 2.1 -update1

Which i havnt messed with since i got the phone.

Thanks, and sorry for the daft questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innovat0r:
Oh dear! did you wrote 2.1? Please read basic root steps and install custom rom. I recommend you to start with Cf-root

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skweezer:
Lol Is 2.1 bad ? hahaha

Sorry for sounding dim, but what have you pointed me to ?? rooting ? installing a rom ? updating kernal ?

And what is the difference between these ? are all 3 needed to get the phone working as i want it to ?

Im totally new to everything andriod so can you please be as clear as possible.

Thank you for your reply.

And sorry again for all the questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innovat0r:
OK, here we go...

1. First of all you need to root your device to install a custom rom or kernel. So first root your device with the above thread (cf-root).

2. Choose any rom from so many roms available all over xda. Choose only from the topic which is under your device's category, not from other device's rom,lol.

To do this you need Odin(use search)

3. Once done you will have custom rom and also custom kernel if you wish.

After these you can go for lagfix, like changing from rfs to ext4.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skweezer:

Hey Skweezer,

Recommend you start with these threads:

They will tell you about how to connect your phone to your PC (Samsung USB drivers + adb), 3 button mode (how to avoid bricking your phone), backing up important/unrecoverable data (like your EFS block!), and what (in general) needs to be done to flash custom firmware.

After that, you should be able to pretty much recover from any error (like unplugging your phone mid flash). Now you can go ahead and root your phone and start exploring the wonderful word of custom roms! As for which one is the best, that's like asking "how long is a piece of string?" Some people prefer speed and cutting edge, others value battery life and stability, some aim for the middle of the road.

Personally I've tried tegrak kernel and was really impressed with the speed improvement! However, the limited app space finally turned me back to other kernels. I found the rest to be pretty much six in one, half dozen in the other (ie all about the same)... so pick one you like and just go for it... use it for a while and if it's not to your liking, flash again :)

Just a quick rundown on android for you... firmware 2.1 = Eclair, 2.2 = Frozen Yoghurt, 2.3 = Gingerbread, 3.0 = Honeycomb (tablet only version of android) and 4.0 = Ice Cream Sandwich (unify android for phone/tablet/tv again). There is a HUGE performance increase from going stock 2.1 to 2.3! so even if you just upgrade to Samsung's Gingerbread release (2.3.3 I believe?) you will notice better performance. Doing lagfix, kernel tweaks, etc is just icing on top of the cake. However, you'll find once you start tweaking, you won't go back to stock ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Well, easiest way of starting is installing KIES and letting it update your phone. That's the official way and you won't have to bother with details like kernels, roms, bootloaders, etc and won't void your warranty (if that's the case).

You'll probably be left with with some 2.3.x version. Might as well make a backup from your stuff before upgrading, kies sucks in a general way, but may help you with that.

From that point on, if you still want to press further into customization goodness, there are PLENTY to chose from.

There are mainly 2 kinds of roms:

- Samsung based (someone picks up a sock samsung rom and modifies it with scripts, kernels, themes, apps, etc). These are most of the ones you'll find in the development section of this forum.

- not samsung based (like Cyanogen e MIUI). These are built from Google's sources directly and totally skip samsung. Therefore, samsung apps most likely won't work here. Everything else does.

Personally i'd recommend Cyanogen 7.1 stable as your next rom. It's an extremely optimized and wildly popular rom, with plenty of options that you won't find in any stock rom. They have their own forum i recommend you to look up if you're going their way.

Whatever you do, GET AWAY FROM THAT 2.1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skweezer:
Cheers for alll the replies guys. Im first going to just update via kies. To an official 2.3

If im not happy with that then ill try a custom rom and rooting.

If only it was as simple as jailbreaking and iphone. lool
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skweezer:
Right, ust updated to latest version via kies. And instantly alot better, smoother. Has some of those things bulit into the system which i always though were missing.

Ill try it for a week, and see if theres anything i need, or think is missing. Then i might go custom. But right now im happy with it on the latest official version.

Thank you guys, i think you've made me sort of like android a bit more.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Ok this is my first time using rom manager so this might be normal. But I am putting it out there in case people don't know. Looks like you still need a custom kernel for it to work. I tried with stock kernel and it didn't work. Also it looks like you will have two versions of CWM installed. I installed the kernel Chris provided and after installing the rom manager kernel if I choose boot to recovery from rom manager I get the new version, 5.0.2.7. If I try the vup + power I get the recovery on the kernel, which in this case is 5.0.2.6. So with that in mind I would rather just have the kernel with the latest version. Not sure if we can just get a stock kernel with rom manager support and that will fix the double cwm issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
IIRC, we will no longer need CWM built into the kernel, but rather just a CWM redirector to direct to the recovery partition, where it appears that 5.0.2.7 was flashed.

does it take a long time to flash? its been a while since its trying to install

Yes as Deano and I stated it doesn't work on stock kernel. Chris has already updated his stock kernel with the latest version so I switched to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Probably any custom kernel but I used Chris41G's stockcwm kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Nope... Using LoStkernel... And it doesnt work but he is updating it today he said so it sould soon :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
yea im using the same kernel, i guess ill wait then :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
I'm using LostKernel also, and I had no problem installing CWM through Rom Manager. Rebooting to recovery via Rom Manager takes me to 5.0.2.7 (installed from the app), rebooting from Quick Boot or on a regular boot up holding vol up and power takes me to 5.0.2.6 (from LostKernel).

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

I don't think so. I think Rom Manager flashes CWM to the recovery partition, whereas the kernel is on the boot partition. if you install CWM through Rom Manager, the only way to get to it at the moment is to reboot to recovery from Rom Manager, otherwise you will be booted into the CWM included in the kernel.

Rom manager uses a fake flashing technique so I have read a bunch of times.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Just got my T-Mobile G2X on October 18. My very first Android phone!

Played with it stock for two days, then backed it up, rooted it and flashed the latest CyanogenMod.

After installing about a dozen apps from the App Store and getting things nice and settled, I noticed that startup for my G2X was pretty slow, maybe around one minute? So, I plugged it into USB and ran Diskeeper. Told me fragmentation on the G2X internal drive was 1.41 (very high).

There is conflicting information out there about whether defragging an Android internal flash drive makes any difference. I shut down my G2X, restarted, then connected to USB and defragged the internal flash.

Boots to the lock screen in 22 seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Never had to do that on my G2x and i'm running Cm7 Stable. And i can honestly say that boot-up was always less than 20 secs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I think it may be a placebo effect since CM7 doesn't use the internal storage as the main storage, plus mine always boots in about 20 seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Actually, mine did take a long time to startup. Maybe it was because I had done so much to it in a short period of time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Just turned my phone off and timed it, exactly 20 seconds to lock screen. Running CM7 177 nightly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Sorry for the newbie question but... what does "CM7 177 nightly" mean?

I know CM7 = CyanogenMod 7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
O.K., so to update, I download the latest CM7 .ZIP to my SD card, then from ROM manager do Install from SD Card.

This will install the new CM7 firmware while keeping my phone's flash data intact.

Am I correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Another thing to remember, you can't use windows tools to defrag, (which personally I don't see the point in defragging a linux file system.) The filesystem that is used by android on our phones is ext4. (ext3 for stock) Windows can't even read the filesystems for the most part, so all you did was defrag the internal sd card memory, (which on cm7 is at /mnt/emmc), didn't do anything with the filesystem.

Android, especially on a new install, takes a while to settle down. You usually can't gauge speed for a day or two, because you need to fully create the dalvik-cache. Once that happens, then see how fast it loads up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:


Yeah it will flash the newest version of CM7 while still keeping your apps and data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Thanks!

Seems that if these are the recent stable releases:

The newest nightlies are ahead of the stable releases.

I don't flash the nightlies one after another when a new one comes out. I'm still on Nightly 177 and I have no problems with it, so I still have it on my phone.

But if you have problems with your phone, you can try flashing the newest nightly.

Here you can see the what has been added to the newest nightly.

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Do the nightlies include the Google apps?

What about my installed apps? And I have one paid app (ROM Manager) and want to flash so I don't lose it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Paid apps stay in the market. Cm7 does not include gapps and must be flashed seperately.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Once you flash CM7 for the first time onto your phone, you have to also flash the Google apps because they don't come with CM7, but you only have to do that once. When you flash a nightly you still keep all your apps including Google apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You don't need to defrag a Linux-based system. The internal memory that application saw as being fragmented was likely the "internal sdcard" partition which has nothing to do with your system booting.

When you flash a new rom, the first boot takes significantly longer because it has to build the dalvik cache. Its only on the first boot that it takes that long, or possibly on the boot after installing or restoring several apps. All subsequent boots will be much quicker. Mine boots in less than 20 seconds and I have several dozens of apps installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
O.K., so, I've already flashed CM7 7.1.0.1 (Oct 11). I installed the Google Apps after that, and two T-Mobile apps (from .apk) off my backup.

So now if I flash Nightly 177 over my existing install, I keep all my existing apps. Do I use ROM Manager to update to Nightly 177, or do I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and flash Nightly 177 from there?

When I tried to download from ROM Manager, I got a popup that said "install additional update zips off the sd card?" I can't find any explanation for that - what is it asking for and I do need it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
The last stable release still does not support HDMI.

Does Nightly 177 support the G2X's HDMI interface?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
FYI, the first boot will always take long because the system has to build the cache, I think. Something like that :p

Any reboots following the initial boot should be fairly quick :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seier:
Hi Guys,

I'm running the 21y update for my G2x and not Cyanogen MOD. Maybe Cyanogen Mod 7 is stable on a G2x, but CM9 is awful on my Dell Streak 7 (much better after dropping trebuchet 0.1 and switching to ADW Launcher), so I'm apprehensive about trying it. However, it takes roughly 3 minutes to boot my phone and it's very annoying. Is it possible I've configured it to rebuild my dalvik cache at every boot? How would I check that? Any other suggestions? Is there a boot log with the program being loaded and the load times?

Thanks,
