ok thanks I will try some 3rd party toosl for uTrack functionality..

I got another issue, maybe i am doing somethig wrong, but I am trying to put my own ringtones (MP3 and WAV) into the ringtone folder and set my phone to ring my own files, but somehow there is something going wrong.

1st time I copied all files with root explorer to the system/media/audio/ringtones folder... nothing showed uo in the settings menu for rintones... just the preinstalled ones.

2nd time i copied my files into sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

nothin showed up too.

3rd time I copied all files onto same folder structure, but on the external sd card.

now they are listed in the settings, but when clicking one the phone does not play any of them. when clicking one of the preinstalled ones, they are played. when chosing one of my own which are not pre-playing ... when a call comes in, no sound... :-(

did I missed something or did I do something wrong? on my old 2.3.3. and froyo the filey could be played as ringtones without any probs...

I am stuck with this issue, cant find anything according to that in the forum.. any ideas or hints?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
I'm using own ringtones myself. Placing them to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones is not enough. You have to regenerate media list on sdcard. You can reboot your phone (and it will be regenerated automatically after reboot), or use some 3rd party app which can start media scanner, for example.extended controls.

Ringtones not playing - dunno about that... some have to be wav format, some can be mp3/ogg. What is bitrate of your ringtones? It works on my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vaira:
Thanks for your reply. I probably took it a bit personally, but it's no problem, no bad feelings lol.;)

No need to apologize, but thanks anyway.

I know to be a perfectionist since I am one as well. :)

Not regarding my phone, though. I am admin of a forum and it must run smoothly so I'm doing everything to achieve that.

I am new to Linux and Android. I am more an expert regarding windows, hardware and BIOS modding.

But back to your theme:

I like your theme very much it's actually the best for me.

Well, I'm gonna try QuickPic, thanks for the info.

I have noticed about a little glitch.

When I use the power control widget it is at first time a grey 'empty' bar only.

But when I switch on GPS from the notification bar on the top (pull down) then all icons appear, nothing serious....

You have said that DC kernel loads all modules you need. TUN, CIFS, IPT....

I need to read about what's that all about and what I can do with it.

Currently my phone is set up as I like. I have your great theme and there is no issue and I can switch between both kernels by simply flashing to try.

I probably ask the darky's team if they could revise the CWM since it's technically no problem to access external SD to run update zip's from there.

Edit: here my report:

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...t-run-update-zips-from-external-sd-card.4481/

Hmm.. and the darky logo branding...oh well I don't like it, it's green, but it's not an issue.

Since you are an expert a question:

One great feature I would like to have for my phone: wifi direct.

It would be simply great to transmit data via wifi directly from phone to phone without any router or something.

BT is slow....

Is there a way to? Is one of the mentioned kernel modules suitable to realize that? Or an special app?

Thanks again for your answer, I really appreciate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Try extended controls, instead of power control :-)

And for wifi link, search for adhoc mode :-)

TUN module is for VPN, CIFS for samba share mounts, and rest... well, google :-)

Hi,

my english is awful, maybe a user can translate my german into it.

Ich hatte das selbe Problem mit dem Passwort nach Schritt 8, nach endlosem Gesuche bei Google fand ich heraus, das das nichts anderes ist, als das Passwort zum Entsperren des Handys nach dem Drücken der Home Taste.

Ich hoffe es hilft.

greets
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Well, i didn't understand a word...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vaira:
Well I don't what's it about but I can translate:

"I had encountered the same problem with the password after step 8. After endless research at google I have figured that it's nothing else but the password used to unlock the mobile phone when pressed the home key...

Hope this helps..." ;)

@Virnik0, thanks for your reply I'll have a look at adhoc mode .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Thanks for translation. Well, password issue is somewhat unknown to me, it happens only to locked phones.

Adhoc mode is point to point wifi connection, between two devices. Normally, you are connecting to Wifi AP, which is infrastructure mode. But because it's linux we are talking about, it is easy to modify wireless supplicant to allow adhoc too (it's enabled by default in windows and linux too).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] squyerkul:
Where can I find the detailed info on this release?

Like what are all the features on this, is this just a vanille gingerbread release, or does it have any extra feature?

All I can tell is: Rooted and custom theme, what else?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Link to the theme thread is in the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] qps:
ok, thanks for your fast help. I found out where the problem was...

after setting the CPU down to 200 or 100 MHz the ringtones did not work properly... after removing setcpu everything worked fine again... same to my gallery folder. with cpu down to 400 or lower gallery did not load and crashed...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
I do have setcpu set to userspace governor and 1100MHz min/max when display is on, and 400-800MHz when display is off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adamosmaki:
ok i searched but havent found anything. Can anyone tell me if greek language is included in JVQ. In JVR i installed wasnt included
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
I am not sure, because I do not understand greek alphabet, but I think that yes, it should be included. It is european firmware, after all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vaira:
Which wpa_supplicant for adhoc works best with DC 2.9.3 and the config remains original?

Could you please post a link to it?

Thanks again.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Actually, I do not use alternative wpa_supplicant. You will have to search for it, or compile it yourself, as I did it in the times of using JVH firmware....

I will gladly do it for you, but I am preparing to fly abroad for vacancy right now, so I can't help you at the time...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xt700:
excellent thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fxtalivanes:
if im from Puerto rico what code do i have 2 use im a noob sorry :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dimk72:
I confirm about greek language in menus. But there is no swype keyboard in greek language. You will have to download multiling from market or similar keyboard with greek support .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vaira:
Thanks for your offer. :)

All I have tried have disconnects when using adhoc.

I don't know where to get the sources, which compiler and what I would have to modify..I am new to Android...

I wait and after you're back and you have time...I'll ask you again.

Thanks and have a nice flight. :)

Enjoy your holiday! Have fun.

No data access

Hi,

I somehow don't have data access after the upgrade to this firmware.

Ant idea how this could have happen?

Greetz,

Qwrt
[Galaxy S I9000 General] platonoff:
You can configure it manually under Settings -> Wireless and Networks ->Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> New APN

or may be from scratch point "use packet data" is not selected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] digitall1982:
thanks man, great tutorial..

but i got one question; my device is rooted and i can't unroot it with oclf app (it was rooted with some other app don't know which one just to enable oclf), it says unroot successful, restart phone and after that i've got su permisions in terminal again.. which means still rooted.. right now i don't know how to unroot and don't have brick after that, because i don't have download or recovery mode enabled.

my question is: can device be already rooted to flash new firmware the way like in this tutorial?

i'm afraid because my device can't get into download mode or recovery mode..

what will happen if i follow every step of block 1 to enable download mode? how will affect that is already rooted?

i'm sorry for maybe stupid question but i don't wanna to have brick..

thanks

Unable to buy any app

Hello again;

today I installed this ROM and encountered strange errpr when tried to buy few apps from market.

Althought I'm using paid version of the Market Enabler, each time I try to buy something I get the following error:

"The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

Tried to clear Market cache, to reboot my SGS, but still getting same error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SasaT:
Yes, the device may be already routed. Just performed the upgrade from the routed device with no issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] qps:
I am not sure but maybe, in some occasions, if you were using some kind of underclocking like the setcpu app, that some other apps fail. So did my market bahave strange when setting cpu to low.

Just an idea.... :-)

Camera problems

Hey Virnik0,

another strange problem I have encounterd lately. Pictures I made can be seen in the preview but, when I try to open them the screen is either blank or I can see only a part of the pic. Other pics just show as broken files in the preview allready. Some pics are fine:confused:

Timiboy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SasaT:
Have had similar issue... try to clear cache/data for the Gallery app. That helped to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] qps:
Same issue now from whatsapp... tried to attach a picture in whatsap conversation and had to click in galery. I found out, that waiting about4-5 seconds will solve the galery issue. If you try immediately to start galery, only black blank screen will show up. Wait until menu buttons lights power off (3 or 4 seconds) after that galery will work without any probs. Maybe bln or somethig different which has to do with timeout cause the problem ? When starting galery out from the desktop , sane procedure, wait some second after opening the desktop, then start galery. Hope that helps

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
You are discribing here pretty well known bug with memory management in the all 2.3.3 roms from sammy ;-)

Well, i will give a try to CM7.1 again during next month, so I will maybe migrate this howto to CM based android distro
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SasaT:
If this issue comes from the 2.3.3, why does it appear on this 2.3.4 rom? I'm getting this too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Because Samsung didn't take care about it yet.

I've been on CM7.1 for two days now... faster in all ways, but:

- Contacts do not show source icon at the contact

- SMS/MMS app do not allow you to use advanced menu, and search dialog shows only one result, during writing search keyword

- Huge battery drainage. I can browse web, playing music over wifi, and my batt level drops 1% every hour with samsung rom. With CM7, I l'm loosing 4% every 10 minutes, even with JVQ modem

- Camera app is crap, and HD photos or video recording is hopeless

- where samsung rom stores apps related configs or runtime cache to /data/data and all other app data (much more bigger) is stored in /data, CM7 stores all app related data to /data/data, which is only 175MB. As a result, soon after your 180th app is installed, you will face corruption here and there, simply because you'll start running out of space. If you play games, much more sooner.

- forget about any enjoyable video playback, HW rendering do not work, because ffmpeg and other codecs are missing. Rock Player can play movies, but it is slowish, skipping, and without headphones hopeless, because audio playback is almost mute.

- sometimes little data corruption may happen, resulting in not working app (need reinstall)

- forget about BLN. FuguMOD kernel destroys automatic display brightness controls, so display may flicker during gaming or web browsing, or decrease brightness too much.

- because i had backup of my latest DeepBlueROM, I gave it up... at the end, my CM7 was still FC'ing here and there, some widgets can't be added to desktop (white square). So it's almost two hours, since I've restored from backup, and I'm enjoying my phone again with samsung rom :-)

Whole restore process took almost 10 minutes, and my phone looks and behave like it did before CM install.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nikolicabgd:
Here are my impressions about JVQ... it's much better then jvp, also faster, but still from time to time get fc on phone.apk. Gtalk is working but when I click audio chat also got few times fc.

Swype doesnt have my language and I need to find solution for it.. so if you have link or advice I would appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
I had never had phone.apk fc. But for your swype, search this thread for swype keyword. I have wrote howto for it already. Simply overwrite Swype.apk and it's libs with Swype extracted from 2.3.4 firmware in which your lang support for swype is included.

For GTalk, wipe it's data from Settings, Applications, and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nikolicabgd:
Maybe I didn't explain well... I had few times blank screen, like when you reboot phone and it is starting its applications... Generally I am very pleased with this rom.

Thanks

And for swype I uninstalled it with titanium, after that deleted all files with name swype and installed new version of swype with language I wanted :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
2.3.5 Pre-Release!

For those feeling lucky, I have started to work on DeepBlue ROM 1.4, based on JVS 2.3.5 ROM.

It is in the early testing stage, but it may (or may not) work, it was not tested properly.

But If you don't mind reflashing your phone from the scratch (in case something do not work), then you can try my latest work:

DeepBlue ROM 1.4

How to install:

- Flash FULL JVS ROM (or flash JVQ with re-partition, and on top flash JVS ROM without repartition)

- Fllash CF-Root kernel, or any other 2.3.5 CWM enabled kernel

- Copy DeepBlue ROM ZIP to your internal SD Card

- Install ROM ZIP from CWM

- Hope that actual build works

What is inside?

- Classic DeepBlue Theme patched ROM, based on deodexed JVS

- Modem JVS

- Kernel DarkCore 3.2 for JVS

- Deodexed, Zipalign

- Root and Superuser

- ClockWorkMod Recovery

- Honeycomb clock |21 style|

- Honeycomb digital Wheater Clock

- Go launcher ex

- BootAnimation

- CRT effect |settings> display> animations> Some or All animations|

- EDT Tweaks with 9 lockscreen

- Gps works

- Bln support

- Browser work well

- SMS hacked |no conversion to mms after 3sms|

- Non incrase ringhtone

- Camera hacked

- Extended power menu

- Gingerbread and Samsung Keyboard

- SMS widget

- Camcorder

- Call widget

- EXT4 app

- CWM app

- Control freak app

- New market

- Multi CSC JVS (change it with nitrality app, set to XEU)

- nitrality app

It has been inspired by HoneyComb ROM, so some tweaks and ideas has been copy pasted (Thanks to _CoreMaster_ for his work)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apollag:
It's been quite long since I've flashed a ROM from here. Might try again. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Beware, this one is early work in progress, let's say alpha.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apollag:
Thanks. Got that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Let me know if it works for you, or not...

But make nandroid backup in any case....

UPDATE:

DeepBlue Theme for JVQ has been updated. You can find updated version 1.3 in it's thread, or on multiupload.com

New in this version:

- Browser patch by Vaira (no hackish method now, this fix is correct one, and stock browser works as supposed to)

- BLN for JVQ patch - I have correctly patched services.jar, so no more freezes after a while blinking

- New Market 3.1.5, themed in blue/transparent colors. (make sure you have uninstalled any Market updates, before installing this theme)

This is latest and last DeepBlue Theme for JVQ. No more releases for JVQ in the future, because I will continue with some other newer ROM (JVS maybe, as test build v.1.4 already suggests).

Don't worry if your Galaxy is from different reseller/brand, home-made usb jig works on all Galaxy models.

All you need is 301k resistor (or any ammount of resistors, making 301k Ohm togeather), soldering pistol, usb cable with plug for your phone, and little bravery.

I have really big problem... The phone was running quite fine for two months and yesterday the battery run out while I was on the phone. I plugged phone into charger and started phone to continue what I was doing and suddenly my phone will not start, he stuck on boot animation. I hear the sounds from sms behind that android picture in boot but thats all.Phone will not react...

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Try to wipe dalvik cahe and fix permissions from cwm. Your situation is not fault of my rom, it seems to be comming from broken filesystem on some partition. Question is which one. Can you access your phone over adb? Boot to cwm and try connecting your phone with adb, over usb cable. You should be able to read system logs, where will be closer description of this error. Check partitions free space, just to be sure.

Looks great

Hi

Before updating etc, I just wanted to make sure that the information was up to date.

I bought voodoo control plus for my Samsung I9000BUJV3 but it would not work. I was given a link to this website to update my firmware from 2.3.3.

So before I carry on, am I on the right page? Sorry for the noobish question and if I haven't supplied enough information, just ask.

Thanks

Alkey
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
This howto is about updating your phone (does not matter which firmware you're on right now) to the JVQ firmware - 2.3.4 Android (XXJVQ is just Samsung's firmware naming). It also contain some steps which will enhance your phone with superuser (meaning you'll have total control of your phone), BLN features (incomming SMS or call will make your MENU and BACK buttons blinking) and applying DeepBlue theme, which will turn your phone to blue/black, it will also add some animations, lockscreens, smilies and other useful things.

So this howto is really for you, don't worry.

Quick questions

Hi,

I apologise before hand if any of these questions have been asked but i am new to this and would like to get a clear picture.

I have a Portugese (TMN) Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2 that is unbranded (im a UK resident on the Vodafone UK network) that was installed from Kies.

My *#1234# details are below

PDA : I9000XWJPF

PHONE : I9000XXJPP

CSC : I9000TMNJP3

I would like to upgrade my phone using your tutorial (which is incredibly detailed and eay to follow, thanks for that:) ) but i would like to make sure that i wont brick my phone. Can you answer the following questions just to ease my mind

1 - In your tutorial step 10 you update the PDA. Can i ask is this a neccessary step? Most other tutorials i have looked at only require ODIN to flash the phone once with no changes required.

2 - Steps 14 onwards. Are these required as well. I have no idea what deodex is and i havent seen much documentation on it. And i do not wish to use the themes so can these steps be avoided also?

3 - Final question (i promise) Once i have completed the flash im assuming that the phone will still be unbranded and my Vodafone UK SIM will still work. Is this correct?

I am sorry again if any of these are repeat questions and thanks again for any help you can offer me. Also thanks for such a detailed tutorial :)

Regards

S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
No offense taken, it is ok to be betters safe then sorry.

That is because some firmwares comes in one package. One file flashed as PDA, containing bootloader, kernel, modem, and cache.

Some firmwares comes in two or three packages.

To be simple, PDA means, that that file contains root filesystem (basic directory containing whole directory structure). But as said before, PDA can contain kernel alone, modem alone, root filesystem alone, or all of that togeather.

This is the case of step 10, which will flash CF-Root package as PDA (CF-Root is just modified kernel, tuned for best performance. It also contains CWM, ClockWork Mod recovery, enhanced recovery engine, which you'll need later in the flash process. You will need it in case of disaster too, because it will allow you to backup whole firmware with one click, and restore it from backup the same way.

In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.

Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity

To second part of that question, themes are nothing wrong. It usually adds some benefits to the firmware itself. New animations, which are not present in the original firmware, new options you can use. To be simple, you can only benefit from it. Don't be coward, and try it out. You can switch to different theme aferwards, but almost nobody does that... quess why?

Yes, it is correct. You will have unbranded, unlocked phone, which will accept ANY SIM, and it will work in the UK networks just fine.

Nothing to be sorry about. We are just humans, and we are not born to be perfect. If you'll have any question in the future, don't hasitate to ask.

And that was after I disabled and enabled lagfix. next time I rebooted phone same thing from the beginig of story.. :(

I hope I'll manage to backup some data when come back home and try to flash new software... thanks anyway!
