[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
Ok so remember how you said that rooting Has nothing to do with the signal... Check this one out... I rooted my phone... Flashed a Kernel to get CWM.... Flashed a Modem that Modem fixes the issues I was having!!!

So if I didn't root my phone... I wouldn't have been able to fix my phone and get better signal.... sorry to say it but in my mind rooting has everything to do with any aspect that you want to change on your phone... without rooting... you do nothing...

Now on to the part where you didn't understand my question like most of the people here... I wanted to know if the Slim ICS or the AOKP ROMs had a modem or kernel that would fix the txting, gps, and signal issues. I had also asked for a setup.. yes people have been giving me multiple kernels along with multiple roms and multiple modems... I only wanted to know if there was a ROM out there that had the modem or kernel that would fix my phone.. (Yes I knew that it would be the kernel or modem.. found out that the modem is what can fix that) Questioned wether it was possible to fix the issues or not.. (found out yes it is possible)

that's where you took it out of context...

I don't "Need" Wifi Calling... before I figured out what would fix my phone yes I depended on Wifi Calling. Since I changed my modem... I have been in 4G the whole time.. so... GB isn't all that bad now that the rest of the functions work...

Now that I know which modem I would have to use to get better signal I can actually try ICS if I want to... Again none of this would have been possible without Rooting my phone....

Anyways I'm really not trying to be nasty about it... really I'm not.. I just went through My 5 month old daughter having an anaphlactic allergic reaction, My phone didn't work then and I don't have a house phone, My daughter almost died. So the need to fix my phone started from there...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I don't exactly know why you are having a hard time understanding this. You are getting information from the best sources available for information regarding our phone. You are then telling these same people that they are taking these questions of of context. That is not the case.

There is not one ROM, or modem that will be the best fit for everyone. Some people get better signal with one modem and others get worse with the very same modem. As it has been outlined a couple of times in this thread (and hundreds of times on this forum) you must try them and see what works best for you. I am glad you found one that works but understand that if someone else uses the same modem it may not work as well.

As far as you stating

that is just you not understanding completely, not that others are explaining it wrong. Rooting your phone DOES give you the ability to change your modems which MAY improve your signal. Rooting your phone DOES NOT give you better signal. A rom DOES NOT give you better signal (even though it may have a modem that will work better for you).

Think of it like this... if you car was getting bad gas mileage and you wanted to fix it, you may buy the tools that you need to fix the problem. Purchasing the tools does not fix the problem, however it does give you the ability to be able to fix it. You are essentially trying to tell multiple master mechanics that they were wrong in saying that buying those tools will not give you better gas mileage.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
I understand that Rooting your phone will not fix the issues.. but I asked for a specific thing... not "will rooting fix my phone"

you are saying that no one took it out of context... yet I asked for a specific thing what Kernel or Modem will fix the issues with my phone..

people kept replying with "Root Your Phone"

I was not getting signal... I was not able to send txt msgs that were longer than 1 sentence but shorter than MMS... Gps took forever and sometimes never to lock in...

The ONE and ONLY Modem that has stated that it will fix those issues is the KG4! People were not giving me a modem to look into they were just giving me the name of a ROM (yes it includes a kernel possibly a different modem but most of the time when I would read the page on the Rom they do NOT tell you what kernel or modem. well they told the kernel more than the modem)

The answer to my question was simply "KG4 Modem"

then for the kernel I did not want a Kernel that would overclock my phone... I DID want my battery to last longer... even though Blastoff has OC/UV options.. when I compare it too the other kernels out there and look at what is written about them... Yet again that is the best on available for what I wanted it to do...

So I Rooted my phone then spent days trying to find out what would fix the issues that my phone was having. Eollie helped me by walking me through the process of using his heimdall oneclick.. 4 hours and it still kept giving errors.. looked at the original thread and we found the problem. Heimdall requires C++ which I didn't have.. so I just flashed the Blastoff Kernel and got the KG4 modem... now my phone runs like it should...

So all in all with what I asked for I got replies to "Root Your Phone" but I already knew I would have to root my phone...

I even went as far as to specifically ask for a setup ether

GB

Kernel

Modem

or

ICS

Kernel

Modem

What will do what I am asking for.

again I got "Root Your Phone" although I was already rooted at that point.

So I can say that people are taking what I said out of context.. because it was.. I had asked for something specific and simple "what will do what I am trying to do." No one could answer it until Eollie talked to me. At that point I had found the stuff about the modem fixing the issues. but he was the one who said I should go with the Blastoff Kernel.

All I wanted to know was What I needed specifically kernel and modem to do what I wanted to do.. from there I can look at what those files require and get those then follow the process. It was all soo much easier than what people were making it sound like.

And just to throw this out there.. People should not treat new people badly on here.. especially when they don't know anything about them or their capabilities. I for one pick up things extremely fast and the stuff sticks with me.. so I won't be "new" for long...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
I figured that there would be someone who would have to say something lol... actually I decided not to use heimdall cause I had to install C++ and until I do a massive clean on my computer I really don't have the room for it lol.

What I did was Used SuperOneClick It does infact root the phone but doesn't change anything on the phone.. it does not give you a kernel with CWM or Roms or Modems.. it just leaves you Rooted at stock. However without CWM you really don't have everything you need to be completely rooted.

I used this Guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470716

The apps in my app drawer was simple.. reboot and they showed up correctly.. I was actually seeing them for what the APK was named and without a "normal" icon (it was a grey android was holding an SDcard lol)

the Guide also told me to get Super Manager.. so I did.. then from that I had the ability to get to the system of my phone and move files around

From there I got Sgs Kernel from the market and flashed the kernel then used CWM and flashed the Modem...

It seems like an older way to root yea it has more steps but hey I like knowing that I have a "Manual backup plan" lol

The reason that Heimdall didn't work is because Eollie was helping me and he's used Heimdall for soo long that he didn't even think about needed C++ and I completely spaced it as well lol.. After all it's not like you install it every time that you use Heimdall.

Even though it didn't work I still was able to get to the same end result.. I am Rooted with Blastoff Kernel (and used the wifi.conf to make the wifi work again) as well as fix the issues my phone was having when I switched to KG4 modem... so far the only modem that I have actually come across that states it fixes those things.

Right now

SGS4G

Rom: GB Stock Rooted

Kernel: Blastoff

Modem: KG4

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] playerjunglejosh:
Very true and what your saying is correct. Lots of people on XDA assume that if you ask a question your dumb. Same thing has happened with me, and I learn rather quickly and don't forget. I think it's primarily because this is a developer community, and thus they assume everything is common knowledge. But people can only view things from their own perspective, and it makes us human. Don't hold it against those that assumed your question and took it out of context.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
KJ6 is what was stock for me and I couldn't send txts longer than 1 sentence or shorter than MMS... Gps took for ever to lock in or never did.

I kept having this "glitch" where I would get an incoming call and slide the green slider to answer it but the screen would go right back to where it was.. My husband had the same issue.. now as soon as the call was missed you could call it right back but it literally locked up the phone until the call stopped. I never got signal.. I paid for a 4G phone and had 4G when I was on Froyo.. once GB was on the phone.. no 4G, no 3G, no G, no E ... just some grey bars that never worked..

That why I had to use wifi and that's why I was saying that if there was not a way to fix the signal then I would still have to rely on wifi and since our version of ICS doesn't have working wifi then I would have to stick to GB...

Honestly GB is not that bad now that the phone works right :)

P.S. Mountains F*** with Sh!t lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
lol don't worry I'm not holding anything against anyone... I don't hold grudges. But I have learned from personal experience.. I cover all angles and all possibilities that way it leaves every stone turned.. why.. so that assumptions are not made... When people assume something they are wrong. plain and simple.. unless you know the person for years and can literally finish eachothers sentences.. don't assume anything..

don't assume that when I new person comes here they are a troller or that they shouldn't be here... because if you were new (and you once were) you would not like to be treated that way... why because no one knows anything about you... you could be the person who invented android and still get treated that way because no one knows you and they assumed something about you.

My theory on XDA... It's a great place with alot of really cool people and really neat stuff... alot of new concepts and creations and since they are members and have posted their stuff here then they themselves and their creations are worth learning about.. Yes I know not everyone who comes here thinks like that but I was shuned away by people not welcoming me.. what turned it around.. Eollie. He not only welcomed me here but he also took the doubt out of what I was trying to do.. He walked me through the steps on skype! What did that do for me? It made me realise that I was actually correctly understanding things from the start and that I was just second guessing myself because my phone was seriously screwed up and I was afraid of completely wrecking it and it not working... so even though i had already been debating over the right kernel and modem! I was pulling away from just flashing it because I wasn't sure if I would mess things up.. also another thing he did was tell me how to undo what i did... yes the back up.. he also told me where the "back to stock (unrooted)" was just incase.. that made me alot more confident in the whole process, Knowing that Yes There Is a Way to undo Everything. You know... just incase you have to send the phone in or something lol.

I do understand that not everyone has the time to do what Eollie did... and honestly nether of us had the 5 hours that it took lol..

NOTE: Heimdall Requires C++ o_0 lol

But there was another way to do it... yes more steps but when the Oneclicks "fail" I like knowing what the backup plan is :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
@playerjunglejosh tl;dr... when it came to the begining of the thread. I took the short path and read the last post.

Everyone gets political when feelings are in the way. I don't really care, because at the end of the day, things were sorted out and everyone - except those with butt hurtty - moved on. <3 trolls.

Anyways, reading official documentation is always a good idea. And we try to help people out with that documentation, but we are only so few. And, as you've noticed, I suck with windows. Being a linux guy and all.

Also, it would be nice if topics in the Q&A sub-forum changed when the issue is solved. something like:

That will help let us know where the thread is. :D

Hi,

i just flashed hellyBean CM10, looks great.

not sure why my apollo "stopped working" everytime, but my real question is how to change the alarm tone and the phone ringtone to a custom .mp3

couldn't find the option.

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aviatoru:
I know two ways to do it:

1. For ringtones on your internal SD card create a folder named ringtones and put there the mp3. I guess it may work the same for notifications/alarms

2. Go to /system/media/audio and you will have 4 folders there: alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui and put here the mp3, fix permissions then reboot. But you will lose them on your next flash.

For your apollo issue: try to clear data and cache from manage apps/all/apollo then reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC=Hero:
Go to apollo-> long press a song->set as ringtone

then go to the ringtone and or alarm settings, the song you selected to set as ringtone will now be available in the list of ringtones.

Edit:this is the same I had to do on CM7.2 btw

You can flash it in your stock recovery and it will inject the latest su binary and the superuser app.

Once you have root you can use adb pull to get a copy of your system and boot images. Then use dsixda kitchen to build a stock based custom ROM.

If you guys have the kernel source you can try building from source to get AOSP based ROMs.
