[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Get stock ROM here.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=-1#modelsa

You need stock ROM (3 file stock ROM), Odin & Pit512.

1. Start ODIN.

2. Select the files into the relevant places in ODIN.

3. Click repartition.

4. Put phone into download mode.

5. Connect phone to pc.

6. wait for Odin to connect to phone.

7. click start.

8. wait for ODIN to finish & for phone to reboot.

You must have pit512 and click repartition as ICS uses a different file system to Gingerbread.

You may have a boot loop after doing this. I have had this occasionally. To solve this reflash with ODIN. This time make sure repartition is unchecked and don't flash pit file.

Sorry Screen shot says scs. I meant CSC.

Running CleanROM ICSE 3.7 and I want to update to the new RUU. Can anyone point me in the right direction or walk me through it?

The question is that should we get rid of AdFree or keep it or any other alternative tool that not causing battery drain.

i.e it used to connect the ots, but then i decided heck i dont want a swipe lockscreen whatsoever and now im stuck with this useless lockscreen that always jumps to it after like 10 minutes when I use screen timeout disabled like most people do wih a tablet :)

hope this makes sense......what is the secret to remove this without unistalling,,,,is it a particular lock screen application because i downloaded a bunch of crap like unlock widget etc etc and now unistalled it and it is saying stiuff like,,,oh before you uninstall remove this and that from register blablabla and nowim screwed and have to spend at least 4 hours installing everything i have in my setup,,,probably take longer actually .

so please help? im determined to fix this without flashing to new state because i have never done that before only with an old hd2 and then it started f*n up and besides i want to only flash when ics is running smoothly but for the time being i want to get rid of this lockscreen, thanks and nice picture above, are you chinese?

im not re re rooting on ics release

im not re - re -re -re rooting to get uber performance and everything in existence crashes.

point is id rather reroot that flash to stock settings

ok it certainly looks good.

how do i install it? device package manager download from xda application or drag n drop/kies it to my phone then package manager install or is it more complicated than that?

which of the three packages should I install?

i.e which is the latest: XXLB1 (Odexed (stock) and Deodexed)

As for me, I installed Go Launcher EX and then downloaded themes from the Android Market. Other launchers have free themes as well. You can give that a try and see how you like it.

Also, if you go under the forums for your specific device, there should be a section dedicated to themes and such. You would just have to flash it.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kemjin:
Hello guys,

I want to use my GTP to watch movies through my projector. I did some research, and found I can connect GTP to project by HDMI adapter.

The biggest problem is 4GB limitation of file size. External SD card format is fat32 which is allowed to have only maximum 4 GB.

I formatted it as ext4 and could copy bigger than 4GB. However, GTP can't recognized sd card. It said "not support file system".

Does anyone know how I can make my Tab recognize ext4 format sd card?

My tab is vanila, not rooted and has original factory ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] acolwill:
Official answer, you can't.

There is no direct support on an unrooted stock kernel to mount the external sd anything other than FAT32.

Even with a custom rooted kernel, getting the system to mount the external sd as an EXT4 partition would require some pretty fine work quite possibly using an init.d script or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bydo:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] h2g2:
I believe you need root to execute the mount command but I'm not certain.

Note that you will need to use the mount command manually each time you, e.g., reboot the device.

I suspect you may be able to get away with just adding it to /etc/fstab - that's what I would do with a Linux box but I'm not sure if that's deprecated with Android in particular.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kemjin:
acolwill,

Yes, I agreed that. I tried to search some script that can mount ext4 sd card, but gave up. Also, GTP does not have custom rom, doesn't it?

I appreciate your reply.

bydo,

Thanks for the solution!! It looks it is way way worth it to try! :)

I will try, and update the result here soon. I can't wait.

Thanks again, bro

Yes, but my GTP has random re-boot problem. LOL. Every 2 days, it re-boot randomly. I think rooting is not a big deal. Many awesome developer and hacker here already made good application for rooting. :) After that, I tried to find the command that can mount ext4 sd card, but gave up. :( After google, so many ways for different devices with different custom rom version. It was finding a needle in heystack. :(

But, I will try bydo way, and update the result for you guys.

Lol, awesome!. I just tested 2 mkv 1080P and 720P movies.

Those movies worked perfect.

1080P movie was 8GB and 720P movie was 4.4GB, and sound was DTS codec.

I will make another post how to mount ntfs partition, how to play those movies. Guys, I want to post here, but I think we should share this with more people. That's why I want to make a new post, and describe in detail.

[General Questions and Answers] rapterj:
What's dishonest about asking for compensation for your time and effort? The tools are free, the guides are free, if they want it free - they should do it themselves. I would go so far as to make the clarification that "good" friends i would root for free. "regular" friends would be charged. Why? Because, quite frankly, I have better things to do than sit around and root phones for ungrateful people who don't want to figure it out for themselves. Anyone who wants a rooted phone is more than likely capable of doing it (or researching how to) themselves, but just being too lazy to actually follow through on it. But I also wouldn't rape people on the prices. I'd say nothing unreasonable about charging 25-50 (would vary on closeness of friendship) per phone, or, in the case of actual friends, a lunch or two.

I fall on the side of charging for service. For Friends and family computer work I used to tell them they could pay me whatever they want, and whenever they want, and if they really want, and but I'm happy to help out for free. Rooting most devices is really easy, but not always foolproof. maybe it feels wrong to charge for the easy ones, but wait till you near brick someone's phone and spend hours figuring out what went wrong to bring it back. 20 bucks seems like nothing considering what could happen. If you value your time and knowledge charge something for it. Otherwise no one else will value it.
