[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etienne38:
Hi,

I got my Galaxy S since one year now, and after the first month, I discovered the joy of installing roms ;-)

I tried many many roms (probably 80% of the roms here) and my impressions were :

I was very impressed by Surface (stability, battery, smoothness)

but it has been beaten by Cyanogen 7 because of many features brought by CM and making the rom very comfortable to use.

I stayed quite a long time with CM, then I restart trying mods (because I wanted to have a full GSII look, but no GSII looking roms was stable and smooth)

So before coming back to CM7, I decided to try MIUI as it seemed to be as popular as CM7, and I falled in love with MintBerry 5see thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350763)

I am completely stuck with it, and does not even want to try ICS roms because I am VERY happy with it for MANY reasons : stability, speed, tons of features, incredible dozen of wonderful themes, and best of all, all updates of the rom/themes/kernels/... are managed with a tool included, so you will not need anymore to play with odin and flash yourself.

Don't rely on the screenshots of the thread, because they don't show the magnificent themes (wood, metal, neon, dark, paper, pencil drawing, ...)

Have fun with the roms anyway, because it is great :-)

And to avoid to loose your apps and have to re-install all of them, I would warmly recommend you to invest in titanium backup pro, because with it, you can backup your data AND the app included, so as soon as you flashed your phone, just "restore all", and after 10 minutes, all your apps are back with all their data and nothing else to re-install ! A pleasure !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamHaLeKe:
Try them both and take your pick. For CM7 I can highly recommend Insanity CM 057 from nitr8 (very light and fast). There is also (CM9) ICS S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v1.1 just released (based on Theamhacksungs Build 11 from Pawitp) ;)

For the better battery life of the two, go with Samsung ROM's like the suggested S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v8.01 (based on Samsung's very latest XXJW1).

happy flashing!

CYANOGENMOD 7 works just fine

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
Well to decide its better if u try both i tried cm7 once it great and very fast and now I'm testing surface which is also great and until now it has a very good battery life you can check my video on surface :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trikki77:
For better battery life,dont touch anything related to CM.I think this whole CM thing is hugely overrated.My experience of the CM roms are disappointing to say the least.

I tested so many roms,every time the stock rom with Galaxian kernel beats the custom eye candys.Either way the battery life on SGS is a joke.no matter what rom you are in.I always wondered why people testing the new phones phonedog etc.

are happy if the battery lasts a work day.Thats horrible.Maybe im just used to my 6 year old nokia with original battery can handle a week.With extensive call usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etienne38:
This is a question of choice, you cannot compare :-)

If you prefer autonomy, go on with a normal phone, if you prefer features and apps, go on with the smartphones.

Tell to a 4x4 Mercedes user that you prefer your moped for the fuel consumption, same thing, this is not a correct comparison ;-)

Anyway, with normal phone usage, galaxian kernel and surface rom, my battery lasts 3 or 4 days, which I cannot do with stock rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmluks:
only tried cm7 and miui, and i get about 20 hours batt life.

i remember using darky's (10.1 i think) which lasts about 3 days, couldn't say if i used my phone that much back then
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Why don't you just flash them and make your own mind up?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thommcn:
I used darky 10.1 for ages and could get most of the week out of it with wifi on with the galaxy live wallpaper. I'm using Surface 1.1se at the moment. I tried Surface 1.2 - the base worked fine but the essentials pack broke my home button and lock screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcuzzi:
For better battery life, go with Surface v8.03.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TIGER 123:
darky 10.2 re very good and jetpack v8.2 really good
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabodell:
briefly, I get a "process.com.android.settings has stopped. Please try again." every time I try to change notification ringtones in any app or in settings.

As far as backstory, I had been running CM7 but it started feeling really buggy so I decided to go back to stock for a while. I loaded stock 2.3.5 via Odin and then rooted this morning. Ihave minimal apps installed, in a general effort to keep the bugs out until I feel comfy with the phone again. As far as I can tell everything else is working. The default notifications have been really odd... Sounding like poor quality radio songs rather than basic beeps or chimes I would expect.

Everything I know about rooting (not all that much) I have learned here at xda. Truly appreciate any help or ideas that are out there. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Hi

Whenever I tried to watch a video in youtube it will buffer,but if I pause it for sometime for buffering and start the video it will start buffering from where I paused.It is like I never kept it for buffering.I removed and reinstalled the youtube but still same problem.I am using stock rom.Can anybody help me with this?
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
The problem seems to lie with the stock Rom. Its a bug, when you switch to cm7 you'll see that its fixed.

Hopefully LG fixes this bug in gb
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
I hadn't any problem with stock..

Try hardresetting the stock and reinstall the app. Or better switch to NOVA rom or cyanogenmod. :)
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
This bug happens even when you're using Nova Rom
[LG Optimus Black] nsakhare:
so hw can we avoid it..???
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
switch to cm7 (not recommended) or wait for LG to release the gingerbread update
[LG Optimus Black] Baguirre2:
May be, you need to wipe data and cache from the app, Settings > Applications Then look for Youtube app, wipe data and cache, if it doesn't take afect then uninstall the app and install it again.

Are there any working Text-to-Speech apps out yet for ICS?

Also, is there a way to only receive notifications from certain apps ONLY when a wifi connection is on? I want to save my data. :)

I don't see why existing TTS engines wouldn't work - I use SVOX classic on ICS, just as I did on Gingerbread.

It's only a free trial and the comments said it didn't work on ics. I'll keep searching
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irspam:
Received answer on wifi question. Anyone regarding the TTS? I'm wondering if I should move this question to the development thread..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irspam:
Any updates on when TTS will be available for ICS? I can't find anything on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Google has had TTS built in for a long time. What are you trying to do... just change the voice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tu3218:
Go into data usage, look at your apps that use most data an click on it. Select a limit for data usage an click restrict data. Great feature of ICS :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irspam:
In car mode is on and safe reader is on but it still won't read out loud automatically... Please help!!! Lol.. Do I have to disable ringtone or something? My default messaging application is Handcart if that makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irspam:
Handcent* Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irspam:
Resolved. Cleared Handcent as default messaging application to correct previous issue. Thanks for everything everyone!!!!

I am having some issues with Wifi Tether not working. The error log indicates the following didn't load/start/stop

Wifi Driver

Wifi Firmware

My phone has S on...

Also, sometimes the phone just freezes with the Beats logo. Only fix is to remove/replace battery.

I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
I would think that you have 1.5 hboot.. is that is the case than you should read the instruction on how to flash maybe there is something you are missing...
[HTC EVO 3D] kongfooey:
Thank you 1107963!

I do have 1.5. I am obviously new to this, I had a very difficult time flashing the phone. Can you send me a link with the instructions that are easy to follow? Would really appreciate...

Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] DoMiNiKiNG947:
You are gonna need to download Flash Image GUI by JoelZ9614. Its also located in same folder in Olymupus Titan HD 3D. Download it and then follow the instructions. Easy flash.

At first same happened to me before before started with Trinity, no wifi and 4G, so flashed bcblend kernel since no problem. It was all until I started reading and tried to figure out what's going on and etc that I read Flash Image GUI and BANG!! Flashed kernel with app and then install ROM through recovery and all good after.
[HTC EVO 3D] kongfooey:
Thank you!!!

I'll try that now... By the way, I pressed the thanks button and I doesn't register on the Thanks meter. How do you get your thanks to be registered?
[HTC EVO 3D] DoMiNiKiNG947:
As a matter of fact, you talking about WiFi Tether, I thought WiFi since was half asleep last night but you need to go to settings and check on MSS Clamping and Routing Fix. Also maybe Change Device-Profile to HTC EVO 3D or leave in auto and that should do the job.

Long story short, my phone keeps freezing & then reboots every 5-10 mins.

I've factory reseted via acs clockwork & before that I've made a nandroid backup.

Did this & it still reboots.

Any suggestions?

Btw, I'm on syndicate 1.2 & genocide kernel 2.0.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
Did u wipe ur cache / dalvik cache 3x before installing? And did u try another kernel to see if u get the same problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastmikey1969:
I would try a different kernel.

What's wrong with the one that comes with SR?

Or its a good time to upgrade to EI22!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Perhaps your battery is bad, perhaps you are overclocking or undervolting too much with Genocide. Best way to fix your phone is to Odin to EC05 stock, root and flash. then do not restore any data. Reinstall your stuff.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhreshGunz:
Okay so what about my contacts?

Thats all im really worried about.

And whats some good gingerbread roms?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you have been saving your contacts on Google and not the phone they will come right back when you sync your gmail the first time. You can also hit the menu key while in contacts and export them to your sd card and import them after. I am on Legendary 2.1 with Shadowkernel 1.04 right now and my phone is truly Epic!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gustav30:
Wondering if anyone has tried a modded Flash apk for the G2x that will let you watch Hulu through dolphin hd browser and get it working? If so, can you post how you got it working?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
What is wrong with using the Hulu app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gustav30:
I thought I read that there was more free content available if you were browsing Hulu.com rather than using the app. Kind of like mimicking a PC and fooling hulu.com that you were not coming from an android device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
You are right. The app is only for paid content. Also of note you may want to post this in HTC forum instead of the LG G2x as what may work on a LG phone may not work on a HTC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
Flash video browser from the market works fine with Hulu.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gustav30:
Yeah, I should probably dump my signature, just realized....I use the Sensation - but my wife uses the G2X. So trying to get it working for her.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
So I've searched around, upgraded Kernel/ROM with Bionix/Dragon, downgraded to try the LG flashtool and just about every other method I came across in my last 2 days of searching this site (which has been great fun, don't get me wrong!)

Anyways, My brother had the phone, worked, then stopped working so I thought I'd put the powers of the internet to good use.

The phone won't register a IMEI when you dial or through the LG Tool.

It has no connection to T Mobile (tried airplane mode, resetting APN ect.)

Shows "unknown baseband"

Shows ? inside the battery symbol

Also, the LG tool/KDZ both fail to update the baseband.

I found the factory firmware BIN(s) but noone has seem to been able to find a way to flash it/them to the G2x.

My brother had taken it to Tmobile and they couldn't figure out what was wrong and had redirected him to a repair shop.

I should also point out that the battery water indicator went red (although still holds plenty of charge) but the phone water indicator is still white.

Thanks for any info I might have missed!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Happened to me with CM7. All I did was update the ROM, which, oddly, fixed all my problems. Try reinstalling, I know it shouldn't affect baseband ect. but it worked for me :confused: Report back.

P.S. I'm pretty sure updating the baseband using LG's tools only works on official ROMs.

EDIT: Were you on the official rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
I believe CM7 was the first ROM I tried. Was very buggy (like it was angry haha)

The LG Tool does only work for official roms, I had reverted everything back (Froyo/recovery) just like from the factory (at least as far as I could tell!)

Being that the only thing I haven't "wiped" is the baseband (only accessible by the LG Tool) I have a hunch the problem is there, but I don't know Android at ALL haha, so im wondering why im not even getting an IMEI number to register anywhere other then when I look on the back of the phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Have you tried installing another ROM? IMEI has never registered properly for me, no clue why, but my provider says they're seeing the right number so all is good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
I went from 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 (Froyo?) the to CM7 then to Bionix now back on 2.3.3 (which for some reason keeps refreshing the dashboard randomly)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
Still nothing, which is to bad because I really like the phone!

If anyone wants to toss in any ideas, feel free to, I could very well have looked over something simple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
I would keep giving it a try but if worse comes to worse can't you flash a new baseband.

Have you tried fauxs hybrid gb rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
Haven't tried the Faux rom yet, will do next.

I tried flashing the baseband to the July update but the LG Tool kept erroring out (which I might try again as well since apparently its buggy as hell)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Also try reinstalling the drivers for the phone or try another usb port.

Sometimes the drivers just trip the system
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBones102:
true, I have read that somewhere

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Have you done anything that was posted in this thread to try and fix it? What happened what exactly caused this to happen for you?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beccadevin:
You need to try the procedure that has a thread dedicted to it for peoples phones that got bricked by the lg tool when they updated to gingerbread it tells you how to nv flash 2.3.3 and you will end up with the samething you have no baseband ect.then follow the dirictions exactly and if you can not get the lg tool to work flash the turn off the modem and flash the kdz he talks about for wind mobile that will put you on froyo 2.2.2 and after that use the lg update tool and it will put you back to gingerbread with everything working if you can not get tools to work try on a diffrent windows xp machine:D

Thank you for creating these ROMS. Can you confirm what build they are based off of?

The latest build from Phillips is:

After following this guide, my GGC became bricked :(

MfgTool would stop at "Formatting op6 partition" before showing me "Update error -65535-" and after unplugging/plugging back in it shows up as "Linux File-Stor Gadget" and I can't access it from Windows because it says "Please insert a disk into drive X:" (I changed the drive letter so I wouldn't get confused)

It turns on but doesn't get past the Philips logo. I tried repairing it with songbird but I always ends with an unexplained error.

I tried flashing it with mateo1212's OriginalRooted and AndroidGeneric roms as well as the original GGC3 rom found in C:/Program Files/Philips/Philips Songbird Resources/Firmware/SA3CNT/SA3CNT.zip (extracted the archive to MfgTool/Profiles and named it SA3CNT) and still no luck, ending in the same error mentioned above.

Can anyone help? Philips is already sending me a replacement (I played dumb with them) but if I could save this one it would be great...

Can anyone help me with this? I`m doing everything as the instructions say, but the MfgTool wont update the rom.

It starts working on the device, but gets stuck on error message (operation time out). After that it starts all over by itself.

One possible reason could be that the mfgtool version provided here was not working properly on my win7 (64bit). To solve this I downloaded another version of the program form the authors website.

The reason I had to change version was that the mfgtool crashed everytime I entered the "configuration" menu and the "usb ports" submenu.
