Installation Instructions

Make sure you have a second partition on your SD card before flashing!!!! This can be created with minitool partition wizard on Windows or gparted on Linux.

If on a BML rom (stock-based GB)...

0. Read "Things to take note of" below

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Make sure your version of CWM is at least 5.x

3. Install zip. It will reboot a couple of times, don't be worried.

4. If you want root or Gapps, flash them now

If on an MTD rom (CM7 and all ICS+)(I tested CM9, CM10.1 and CM11)...

0. Read "Things to take note of" below

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Wipe data, and cache paritions (just in case). If updating to a newer build, you can probably skip this step

3. Install zip

4. If you want root or Gapps, install them now

The first boot can take several minutes. Be patient. If it takes 10+ minutes, pull the battery and reboot to recovery.

Things to Take Note Of

Humberos (the i9000 maintainer) has moved on to different projects which means no first-gen Galaxy S devices are being actively maintained. Builds may break at any time!

I actually have a T959P, not a T959V... It was released by Telus in Canada. It is a very similar device (I can run ROMs for the T959V with limited problems - ie sometimes I get wakelocks and the gps never works), it has a different GPS chipset and also uses different cell bands (but I can still use your guys modems but I lose access to the 850Mhz band). I have created a build specifically for the T959V as best as I can guess and also provide T959P builds.

The USB connection is MTP and not mass storage as Omni has removed mass storage. In recovery there is still an option to mount as mass storage device.

This build is very close to the official omni source code. This means that the recovery is TWRP and there aren't any added "features"

In order to get it rooted, you need to install SuperSu.

Gapps reportedly slow down the device significantly so tread carefully.

Backup Backup Backup! I'm not responsible for you losing any data.
