I think that if someone (I'll try to do it) will complete it, could make it and make it available for people that need something which start working on from, to make a version for their terminal... or not? If someone with an ARMv6 terminal already did FirefoxOS, I could start from his work, making only a porting... but I know that no one has already done it.

I builded it first for a other device from source then replaced kernel and device tree with the gio one(both from maclawstudios as B2G uses ics build system).

Then it did rebuild for gio

Sorry, but... what do you mean by saying 'device tree'?

I know you'll think that I'm an incompetent, but the only thing that I miss is the knowledge of technical language!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
This is the 2nd Nexus device that I've owned and I'm a little disappointed with the calculator, again. With all the work that they've done with Android and the Nexus series you would think that they could have added a percentage to it. Heck all my other Android phones have it, why doesn't this one? Now I’m forced to go and download an app, which isn’t a bad thing but I shouldn’t have to since there is a calculator already installed. :eek:

450 x 12 /100

[Desire General] aaaaaaahhhhhhhh:
I am thinking of going back to my LeeDroid rom.

The only good things about ICS is the custom install, one setting which helped with internal storage.

I liked the twitter app which let me set a notification tone for someone in particular.

I have found the speed of the menu and opening apps quite slow. The keyboard is annoying. Using the track ball for moving along text is too fast. I can't leave it on charge when it is fully charged because the phone will switch off. The contacts settings in People is basic and looks odd.

Does anyone agree?

[Desire General] oxyg3n89:
I guess it depends on priority and how you interpret two conditions. Speed and smooth. These stick together in different proportions and have completely different meaning.

Smoother ICS does not mean faster response, it just mainly higher FPS -"Frame rate (also known as frame frequency) is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames.Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS)" I just stick to GB roms for now.:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertocastillo2001:
Hello

I own a French Galaxy S for more than a year, it's an unlocked unbranded one bought in Pixmania

Model number is I9000 and PCode is GT-I9000HKYXEF

Installed firmware is 2.3.3 updated officially by Kies one year ago

PDA: I9000XWJVH

PHONE: I9000XXJVO

CSC: I9000XEFJV2

It seems to be the latest version released for my phone in France (CSC XEF)

I have been checking samkiesupdates twitter page often but there hasn't been any update coming out which updates my phone to 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 while other updates based in CSC OXA and DBT have already received the update (Seems OXA is the Open Europe version)

With this 2.3.3 version I'm having a few problems, such as a faulty GPS and a lack of free RAM. The gps problem doesn't seem to be a hardware problem (like the one with the GPS antenna in a few models) and I checked signals with GPS Test and it seems to be catching more or less the same number of satellites around the same signal level as other phones that have a working GPS.

So I would like to know a few things about rooting and flashing ROMs. I have thought of updating my phone to the 2.3.6 CSC OXA version

When flashing a phone, are protected phone contents affected like the /efs and folders that can only be accessed when rooting the phone?

What does rooting do exactly?, I know this is something like on UNIX systems where you need a super user account such as root to access system folders, but I only find threads about how to root the phone, but not what does it do exactly and what does it modify. However it seems, from what I read, that it is possible to return to stock (could Samsung Service Centers detect this modification?)

According to what I read, in case I flashed my phone with a custom ROM I would have to root my phone, why is this exactly needed? Why do stock ROMS seem to not need root at all?

Custom roms seem to already have different bootloaders. Is it possible to revert everything back to stock (including ROM and bootloader) just like if the phone was untouched in a way Samsung Service Centers could detect?

In case I flashed OXA 2.3.6, will Kies download new updates released for that version even if the PCode is XEF?

The PIT files, I know these are like partition size limits. Is there any advantage of using one or another?

I think this is enough for now. I have been having trouble finding information about these and it seems that all Samsung Galaxy S phones, even if they are the same model, won't receive the same updates for different countries/carriers. I bought an unbranded phone, and I should receive the same updates as other countries like UK do

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertocastillo2001:
Hello

Thank you very much.

I'm at work but I will read it again when I get home. It really helped, the rooting technical guide was pretty clear, and the PIT file information as well.

About the other questions:

It's ok, the GPS is driving me nuts

That's pretty interesting, I've seen options as Clear EFS in Odin that seem to be pretty dangerous at all since the EFS seems to contain specific phone data such as the IMEI

I understand these are partitions and not just folders. I remember getting into the recovery on my Galaxy S and formatting the cache partition. Does this cause any trouble at all?

/data partitions holds all the settings in the phone (according to the rooting guide formatting this partition causes a factory reset)

I will keep looking info on the forums for this to understand the details of these folders more in detail.

Well. I am not sure how Kies works but I remember reading that it only tries to apply updates if the PCode matches with the CSC of the ROM

In my case my PCode is GT-I9000HKYXEF and my ROM's CSC is XEF

If I flash the Open Europe 2.3.6 ROM, my CSC will be OXA, and in future updates Kies might report that it cannot update my device as I've read on some forums because my PCode doesn't match the ROM's CSC anymore.

All could be fixed by reinstalling the 2.3.3 XEF ROM image as well tho.

Few more questions

PIT repartitioning, does this only affects /dbdata and /system. Correct? No risk of messing up with /efs (as it seems to be the most critical partition in the device, is it?)

I am taking a look at Cyanogen's MOD 7.2 for Galaxy S

On their install instructions they ask you to download a kernel and clockwork mod recovery and then Heimdall

Where is the kernel stored after installing it? /system?

If so, just reflashing a new ROM (or the stock ROM again would get back to the official kernel, correct?

What's the [Dump] option in Odin? Haven't seen that anywhere

I have to read some more info about the bootloaders first before being able to ask more.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertocastillo2001:
Hello

Thanks again

I guess ROMs like CM9 (this seems to be the one I am interested on) don't mess with PBL like boot.bin or the secondary bootloaders right? Or do they? (Only ClockWork Mod modifies the SBL to install it's own recovery I guess?)

Are all the needed folders on the stock ROMs as well? Like boot.bin, the secondary bootloaders and all the folders such as /dbdata /cache /data /dev /etc /lib /mnt and all these folders that are typical to see on UNIX and Linux installs?

As seen in here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Partitions it seems they contain the PBL, SBL and folders like /mnt. So I guess they have everything on them ready to go

It's just to know which folders to backup in case it's needed.

Does ticking repartition with a PIT file in Heimdall or Odin repartition the whole device in a way where important files/folders get deleted (/efs for example) or does it just repartition /dbdata and /system without touching anything else on the device?

Does installing ROMs from Odin or Heimdall format the partitions before installing them? Seems CyanogenMod 9 has a script to turn partitions from RFS format to EXT4

What if I wanted to get back to stock, would Odin format them in RFS format as well?

I guess these are all the questions I need to ask to cover all doubts.

Thanks!
