[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dilbert83:
Updated mine yesterday through kies.

For me it's the best stock firmware by some way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ronma1:
364MB?! sweet

but i still hopes that sammy will give us ICS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pirati81:
Hi useful information on how to root this one is on androidadvices.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
How long did it take? Samsung support say it is a "pretty hefty upgrade and can take up to an hour." If that fails I'm supposed to use "Emergency Firmaware Recover" but don't have a code for that...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dilbert83:
Took about 20-25 minutes to complete.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oxfordmark:
Aghhhh i am confused

I dont know whether to ditch the TeamSGS ICS rom and switch to this one :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rezam:
I have downloaded a deodexed version but I don't have CWM on it , please help me to find a complete deodexed version with no bug, thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
I seriously ask myself if Samsung has only idiots as developers.

This new firmware is the worst I've ever seen:

Nearly all new games like temple run are lagging while they are working fine on ICS.

touch sensitivity is just incredible bad and because of that handling is sluggish. Sometimes swipe is working sometimes not and instead u open an app.

Don't they test their roms they bring out and don't they compare them to other roms which are out there to get a benchmark?

They would see that their roms are the worst out there.

I'm so angry about this.

Since the last "value pack" they had month and still there's the charging bug so when battery is lower than 15% phone states "charging" instead of "low battery".

Come on - are these guys total amateurs?

Can a developer be so blind and dumb? Just one look in a xda firmware thread and they could see so many bugs. Bugs which are existing for months now.

Will go back to ICS. Sammy should pay these guy, because all the big developers are doing here is 100% better than what sammy devs are doing.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] 5nakedoc:
Ditch it, I did. It's way too buggy and slow to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oxfordmark:
Its not too bad, new version due out soon so may wait until then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mindfield21:
Temple run runs with no lag at all at my device (every other game I tried did so too). I played for ten minutes or so and touch sensitivity never failed. Whenever I swiped my finger, the character performed the correct action. I can't imagine what the problem in your case might be. I don't experience similar problems at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kabracity:
I'd wait a little until CF-ROOT available and some kernels like Semaphore as well. Found myself with no BLN at the moment and no modded frameworks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Neither do I. With custom kernels that have "increase touch sensitivity", I seem to be pressing into apps rather than swiping the app drawer. With Stock kernel, it's fine for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
See in other forums m8. many ppl have the same impression...I was one of the first who installed that ROM and after that many many ppl had the same problems on their phone.

Have u tried ICS before(no matter from which developer)? Maybe u can't compare to what ICS offers.

In the past I was happy with stock roms too because I couldn't compare but now I tried ICS I have other claims and expectations to a rom. Claims which sammy can't fulfill anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mindfield21:
Whether I have tried ICS or not is irrelevant. I didn't claim that this rom is better than ICS. I just informed you that the game you mention runs flawlesly over here and that touchscreen sensitivity seems typical not causing any problems during playing. I don't need to read other's opinions. I have this rom installed at my phone and I can get an opinion of my own.

(for the record, I have used many ICS roms. In fact I flashed JW4 after using CM9 for a month)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] benedikt_77:
Buggy and Slow...

I can only recommend to stay with whatever firmware you are.

This is a piece of crap, slow, buggy, not stable at all.

Really disappointing!

In my case, I have several bugs already mentioned (charging notification, swipe screen to unlock only in english, day and date misspelled on home screen in German language), battery drain by face unlock (every time I get a notification, the screen turns on and the phone searches my face in my pocket!) and so on...

TW4 is lagging as hell, takes up to 15 seconds to switch between home and menu, after closing an app, the homescreen is inoperable for the same time.

I´ll get back to JW1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
Hey m8...

don't get my last comment as an offence...didn't want to say that u don't know what is important or what to look at.

For sure u have ur own opinion, but there could have been the chance that u don't know other roms and with my comment I wanted to ask u this.

Things are always the best till u get to know another thing.(I explained that it was the case for me: stock was always gd for me but now I have the direct comparison I can tell that it's not)

And of course u don't have to read other opinions - it's ur choice but IF u do u may see that the problems other ppl like me report are not rare problems but common wide spread problems and this leads to the fact that the rom is probably not that gd.

To the facts:

Temple run is not lagging as some ppl would say. It has just many more micro lags than on ICS and the touch problems I don't have in temple run(never said so) but in launcher while using the phone.

Phone feels quite laggish and unstable in general. The overall feeling is not so fluid.

And as the post before states there are many bugs like the charging bugs or the missing translations!

For an official rom an absolute NO-GO!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] idiotshere:
thanks Grooby, finaly some freaking fast download (used torrent and it MAXED by connection speed)

no waiting and no god damn passwords to guess. appreciate, already subscribed to Your twitter waiting for fw for my region:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mermigas:
I think that for Sammy the development for SG1 came to an end.

They just gave their last "crapy" ROM to a very valuable phone and they have the nerve to call it "ValuePack" !!!

Look the game they playing. Memory is not enough for ICS on SG1.

Buy our new SG2 or whatever.

Well I am not going to buy a new "shiny" phone since I have already a lag free "SG1-Nexus" in my pocket
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Early days yet but I quite like it. Anyone got an easy root for it yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AdamLange:
U got it rooted here, just flash zImage with Odin and connect phone and run RUNME.BAT

http://samsung-updates.com/kernels/STOCKPLUS-GT-I9000-XXJW4-KERNEL-ROOTED.ZIP
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mindfield21:
Well when it comes to overall experience, I agree that using ICS even for a while will make you realise what kind of junky roms Samsung releases.

However when I read reports such as

which include a bug I don't experience, I can't help it but to think that this person may have done something wrong during installation.

In your earlier post you reported lag while running the game. If you had written "micro lag" or "a bit laggier than when I played it with ICS" I wouldn't have responded at all. I thought that you were experiencing some serious bug and I reported back in a helping spirit :)

In conclusion, I feel that this is a better rom than JVU. If your job doesn't depend on how stably your phone operates, then go for an ICS rom. If you need a stock rom just to be sure that you won't wake up in the morning finding your battery drained, then JW4 is a fine rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdrm69:
Don't flash this rom. It is slow, buggy.

I got it via Kies yesterday evening (wipe before and after) and got two crashes so far.

The responsiveness is far worse as with 2.3.5.

I guess the aim of releasing buggy "Value Pack" is to make you buy another phone.

But at least in my case it won't be Samsung anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kabracity:
No idea about FC's, not responsive or lags, for me Value Pack is working ok so far (plus I appreciate the extra mem)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Where is this S G Launcher Samsung wittered on about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
I am really happy with this rom :), plus modded browser to get bounce effect on it :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _breez_:
looks like an awesome rom :) if cf-root get released i'll flash it asap :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Auto brightness doesn't want to work. I don't really mind the lockscreen charging error however.

Nvm worked again... I would hope a developer will developed a voodoo kernel w/ cwm recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:
For me the GPS tag at photos do not work when the GPS is turned off even it should use other localization methods ( like in ICS does ) .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
I flashed via keis yesterday at 15:00, and so far I have found no problems at all. I did not wipe before and after, I just let keis do it's own thing, which took about 25 mins, and I was left with a fully working phone with no loss of data. The only thing that I had to do was to re-setup my home screens.

This will keep me happy until SGS3 is released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kuresz:
I have BIG lags when typing or scrolling.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androkurd:
Installation failed

I tried to flash it via odin but now my phone is in an infinite bootloop. My phone was on ICS before. Hope you can help me! Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:
No problem here,

try to Clear Cache maybe helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lcampori:
mmm. no. reverting to jw1 which is completely bugfree.

It's not that I do not like this rom. It's fast and smooth as it should be.

It's that those small bugs (i.e. charging bug) show a lack of attention in designing the new features. It sounds like, ok let's give 'em something to play with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rufmao:
I flashed it yesterday using Odin with stock JW1 and repartition first.

It seems good and so far no problems.

Some apps didn't restore well with Titanium Backup and I had to install them from market. Opera Mobile was one of them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AdamLange:
Some guide for all of you guys.

1. Got problems with FC or laggy phone? do backup of contacts/sms and files and do factory reset, clean cache, clean dalvik - it will help.

2. There is no battery issue in any rom. You can tell if you got battery issue after a week of usage and 3+ full recharges. Without that, stop complaining, after flashing phone and new firmware must "recognize" things.

Clean procedure to flash rom with new features is:

- go to recovery

- clean cache

- do factory reset

- clean dalvik

- go to download mode

- flash ROM with odin

Thats it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cwc289:
This is a characteristic of all sammy roms :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:
GPS tag to photos seems to not work even with GPS ON .

Can someone else check and confirm, or is just me ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jeroenkwb:
I flashed this yesterday, first I got bootloops. Flashing dbdata.tar separate solved that problem.

The runme.bat root method didn't work for me, so I rooted it by flashing latest speedmod with Odin, with Auto reboot disabled. Pulled the battery, booted into recovery, installed root via Speedmod options. Then I flashed the Stock plus kernel and rebooted. And voila, Superuser installed :-)

I don't think I'll stay with this rom, as I am used to running ICS, which gives me a more fluent experience.

Overall nice features with JW4 but it seems that it's not fully done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
I'm assuming you clicked on "repartition" in odin, as this is what several others have reported as being the cause of boot loops. You need to install this ROM without repartitioning, as it hasn't got the neccessary file included.

If you need to repartition, search back in thread, as someone gave instructions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irid:
I'm iterested if there is Armenian as Menu language, like on Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kabracity:
Chainfire did the job very quick by releasing CF-ROOTv4.4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neelsgs:
heyy guys:) has anyone tried the ChainFire Root 4.4 yet? If yes, can you please report the performance of the ROM with Root i.e. gaming lag and overall performance?? Im eager to try this but im not sure.... Im with CM9.....Is it worth changing?:D

cheers guys;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Siberian Tiger:
CRT OFF AND MORE HERE

Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zalimtayyar:
Kies or Odin?

First I used Odin to flash JW4 and I had a very laggy experience, even frozen screens. Than I flsahed JVQ (2.3.4) and updated it to JW4 via Kies. No lag or etc. so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] halowen_pcd:
What's kernel which supports Voodoo sound i should use with this firmware. Give me some advices. Thanks u guys alot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M_J_Nazari:
for best result you need to remove your databases from last android version that installed on your phone, then:

1- Flash your phone via ODIN, with 3 Files Rom + 512 pit file, you need to repartition your phone. [Fresh Install]

the lags will come when CSC files weren't install perfectly. after installation via odin if you see the red line texts from cwm , this is your fault.

2- when you installed the 3 files rom via odin, now install this version.

done, root your phone via CF root.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
The only root kernel for this firmware is Chainfires CF-root kernel, there isn't any kernel with Voodoo. You must wait for stratosk&Co.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeadLover:
I flash JW1 with odin, wipe and flash JW4 without repartition. Have no lag, no FC and everything is smooth and simple. I love this update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
I upgraded via kies tooo :)

I was on JVU until 17:00 yesterday .When i came home.Reverted to JVQ 3 files,flashed,selected XEU csc code.Then got the update.Pretty awesome. :)) TW4 :)

Now today CF root released for JW4.I flashed it.Lagfix enabled .(ext4) pretty goood :)

btw.You need to wait semaphore kernel to use voodoo sound.Cf root not supproting it.

My favorite kernel always been semaphore :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zalimtayyar:
I was already on a clean install. I used JVU, pit file and repartition. Than I flashed JW4. But it was so laggy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hic87:
Thanks bro for your llink
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
I flashed the CWM version from JVS and it's bloody smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EmDzei:
APN, scandinavian letters missing and CSC-code

Tryed this deodexed version but Google Play didn't work with it.

Flashed this thread JW4 with Odin v1.7, rooted and run runme.bat. All went OK.

APN was empty, but lucky I had backuped with APN Backup & Restore util. If you need finnish DNA ISP settings, PM me.

Menu language finnish exist but not finnish keyboard with scandinavian letters (äöå). Installed Rujelus22's Gingerbread Black Themed keyboard.

CSC-code was KOR and changed it to XEU with nitrality util.

So, this JW4 ROM need a little handwork when you can take it use other than English or other "big language" countries.

Cannot tell yet nothing about battery drain or WLAN signal strength or weakness. Phone calls what I have get yesterday and today haven't force closed phone.apk; like my early ROM JVU did.

Now I install CF-Root and EXT4. Thanx about the link.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JunaidZaka:
Thanks:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arcangel_SP:
Any known bug on this release?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheamzj:
Bravo!

TouchWiz 4 for SGS!

I hope this is the most stable version....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cwc289:
If you compare it with any custom roms, yes its lag as hell...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] do-shaq:
This rom isn't laggy at all, it's better then the custom ics roms. Those are really laggy especially the browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:
Can some one else confirm the bug at Camera?

GPS Tags are not added with GPS off but seems to not work even with the GPS on .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paqobgd:
Much awaited

I think i will wait for the kies official upgrade in Romania for testing :) I am running now Dark Knight v3 and i can say i am most pleased of it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] magellan91:
help me please, I am now on jvu,and after flashing thise rome with odin my phone reboots on boot animation and that's all.

sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neelsgs:
Hmmm try reflashing? With repartition ticked? Or flash from JW1, I'm not really sure but just try.... best of luck!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Einril:
That's because the archive misses the dbdata, and you have ticked "Repartition".

Flash this : http://www.mediafire.com/?b59u613jwp2ccp4 ans you should be okay ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Exand:
Guys who installed JW4!

Is Touchwiz 4 really laggy on the JW4?

is there phone.apk crashes?

How much RAM free by default after installing all programs and widgets?

Scores in Quadrant 2.0 and Antutu Benchmark?

(for example on my stock old JVU 2.3.6

Quadrant: 1304

Antutu: 2751)
[HTC Wildfire S] all43:
Hiya folks!

I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!

Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.08.0000

RADIO-7.53.39.03M

OCT 31 2011,20:38:16

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,

Android Version 2.3.5

Sense 2.1

Soft Number 2.13.401.2
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.

And then you can root the phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] all43:
OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?
[HTC Wildfire S] cahiri0:
Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....
[HTC Wildfire S] all43:
Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?

Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] cahiri0:
You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:

HTC EU	2.13.401.3	PG7610000	- sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU
[HTC Wildfire S] hayanno:
I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?
[HTC Wildfire S] XDA_h3n:
A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.
[HTC Wildfire S] artturnip:
I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] all43:
All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!

I tried installing nand omgn 1.2.3 {2.3.7} on my T-Mobile (GER) and no signal, so I went back to windows Mobile, but no signal still. The phone can find network (China Mobile and China Union), but can't register the network. I tried installing stock TMO GER ROM, but the problem is still there.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sab456:
Hello guys,

Around a week back, my MT3G slide touch screen got unresponsive for a while. I rebooted around 2-3 times and thankfully the touchscreen worked fine.

Now, I am getting this unresponsive touchscreen more often and I have to pull out the battery from the phone and turn it on again. The last time this happened I had to do this about 8-10 times before the touchscreen would respond. I have no problems with my keypad, 4 buttons or the trackpad, just the touchscreen

I also did a factory reset and erased all the data that I had on my phone and SD card.

EDIT : I just figured that the touchscreen sometimes starts working if you slide out the keypad. But once the keypad is slid back in, it's back to being unresponsive.

My phone is out of warranty so I can not get a replacement I think.

Does anyone know what could be the problem for such frequent touchscreen unresponsive behavior. After a couple of reboots, everything returns to normal.

Any ideas ? I would appreciate any help..

Thanks a lot...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whoareyou:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sab456:
Hi there,

Do you mean the slide rail flex cable or the digitizes flex cable ?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt3gsuser:
flex ribbon cable

I would say it's the flex ribbon cable which connects the motherboard piece to the screen and home button piece. I've purchased several "broken" my touch 3g slides from ebay that had either the screen shift problem when the keyboard was slid out or screen that was unresponsive/wouldn't come on. Both problems were fixed by purchasing an inexpensive flex ribbon cable like item 170747702766 on ebay. I watched a video and followed along on youtube /watch?v=-jgFHuVWlig (stop at 7:27 and reverse the process). However, my most used mt3gs is now starting to have the screen shift problem again and needs a new cable... it didn't last as long as I had hoped.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamji83:
