Will give it a go, thanks man.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] opensourcefan:
On the bright side there will be a whole bunch of headway made on these roms and who knows what magic you and doc will conjure up, can't wait. We really gotta get that lockscreen menu distributed about. Would be cool if you and doc could build a special boot animation too. If ya need any help with anything pm me and I'll do what I can with my limited ability. Thanks for all your help, appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
i dont do any magic.

whole job is done by doc. i just snoop around and try help canadians (conservative bunch) while adapting for my own use.

it was only by generosity of doc that my name is on the rom (i sent him rom to test and release under his name) as i only edited it (not made it).

and youll never see me have donate button for that.

unless i do something on my own. fat chance of that happening though:D

doc is just too quick

hell he even makes roms at 4.30 am local time while in his washroom.

this one should be called Bell_wc_jk5_rom! :eek:

mine will be going for service end of next week too for soft keys getting stuck as well (while on vacation for a week). hope those idiots dont just reflash and send back!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yeah, keep up the good work guys

the only thing missing in the ROM is a tool to Fix the InternalSD corruption problem on the I9000M :p ( hint... hint... ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] opensourcefan:
+1 on that fix...

No go friends, she won't boot. Guess I'm part of that 10% that won't. Oh well, if I can't, Bell can't... I hope.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
we have it! its called an oven! :D

and if that does not work theres always a sledge hammer. then service warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
thats good then. as long as your bases are covered.

Does anyone have a working CWM .tar for the bell vibrant? i cant find one anywhere and i cant get into cw to flash the rom.

How else can i install this if not through cwm?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
If you are on eclair, you dont have to. Doc is cooking, so hold of on flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 3rdcoast:
And the kids are hungry......;)

Since I'm on the Idan rom would I be doing another full wipe to go back to Doc's (1.4?)?

FYI, I did another clearing of all caches and I think my location started working again. I didn't go very far but it showed location at the next tower. Not a definitive test yet but that might have cleared up my issue.

Im on Idans BUPJP8, and I flashed the Hardcore 500mhz kernel the other day. Running real smooth. I did have on eforce close in google maps, but that was a one off, and likely nothing to do with this.

IDAN, any idea if we can get a voice button on the SWYPE keypad?!?

Also, any updates to your package coming up?!?! Im getting tired of flashing every day :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
I have a beta of the VJJPA, BUT it seem like older rom release with heavy vivo customizations. I can post it but i am not i want to do a release rom as it feel slower then the new roms
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Woolios:
Try not to use ODIN, I've had 3 phone break down each time through ODIN/Kies not once I experience through CWM although I'm sure it can happen but regardless ODIN/Kies makes me very very scared.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gemini8026:
Doc, im gonna flash my dads and my sisters phone.

Quick question, did u update the IDAN release to include the new 10-500mhz hardcore kernel?

Im not sure if any updates will be applied to both files on the first page, or just your original release....

For whatever reason, my GPS works WAY better on the IDAN release :s
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
No, but you can easily install the kernel, check hardcores thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 3rdcoast:
I get to agree with both. I added the 500Hz hardcore kernel to Idan's rom, nice. The GPS is indeed better in Idan's, Doc's broke on the last update likely due to Samsung's kernel on that day. There's a new one out as we speak. I expect to be flashing Doc's once it is pulled from the oven.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
What about the jk5 that chainfire released? I thought you were cooking that one? It's in general section.or is there some problem with that one?

Formated internal sd...no prob i've done it before

forgot to copy roms back onto sd....no prob in the past

did factory reset...installed kernel....formated \system

phone got stuck on initial boot screen

flashed UGJK3 from samfirware.com using odin no pit. boots and working......the problem:

when i tried to flash CWM so i caould get one of doc's roms back on this error in 3e recovery

I have a working phone....I just want to have CWM freedom again...odin freaks me out....haven't used it since my last phone

????? already bricked one phone please help
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dice62:
I had the same error as you when I tried using an update.zip from 3e recovery.

What I did to get back on Doc's rom was:

1) I flashed Hardcores kernel through ODIN

2) Started up my phone, copy pasted the files for Doc's rom onto my internal SD 3) Went into CWM Recovery and installed Doc's rom from there.

4) After initial boot, go back into recovery and do the tweaks, lagfixes, mods, etc.

Cheers

Lost my SD Card today after flashing K10E-500hz. It flashed fine then I put the phone down and picked it back up 20 minutes later and the soft lights were glowing so I thought I had a message. The phone wouldn't respond so I rebooted it and instead of Launcher Pro, TW loaded and I was greated with a message saying the internal SD failed. I can't access anything, keeps force closing.

I still have clockwork recovery and download mode. I tried to flash JH2 with Odin but it won't even start. It's like it doesn't see the phone at all, even just in windows.

I need to get back to JH2 to take this back for warranty. Or is there other things I can try?

Thanks guys

edit: I noticed something weird. In CWR I can see the files on my SD card, but once booted it says no SD inserted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Try using cwm and unmount/format /system ext, do not format /sd ,boot or possibly try to use cwm to reinstall docs rom. Theres a bunch of tricks for reviving it you just have to read the forums. Doesnt always work but wourth a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DaveJeep:
Thanks for the reply.

I did that stuff already. When I try to reinstall docs rom I just get and error. I can't add anything else to the SD card and my laptop doesn't see the phone, same with Odin. Couldn't really find any other fixxes yet but have not had the time to look yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hburn:
No need to relock i did send mine without relocking it first time and they didnt see anything at the repair center they change pba
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DaveJeep:
So when I couldn't get my computer to see the phone it was because I was using the wrong cord... DUH...

So I flashed JH2 with Odin and it was sucsessful but now the phone goes past the "S" to a black screen and stays there. I left it for an hour. I have 2e recovery so I think I can send my "PDA" back to Bell tomorow and hope the rest of it was JH2 as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] linkness:
Hello thanks for the great work guys.

I am wondering what would be the safest way and best way to go from 1.2 to 1.3 if required. Are the only changes the new kernal and the fixed fat.format and zipalign? I already have the fixed fat.format and zipalign for 1.2 that you posted earlier so should I install the full 1.3 or should I just install the new kernal ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lotacus:
This happened to me on a few occasions. You will notice the phone will vibrate once and then twice. For some reason I believe it is not initializing the screen drivers.

The only way I remember fixing the problem was using odin to reformat the device with 512pit file using stock firmware which had database.rfs, then re-upgrading to docs. I stopped flashing firmwares now once his bell firmware was released as I am happy with what I have. Unless of course something innovative occurs that would prompt me to flash another version.

You do realize that the bell firmware has been leaked over a month ago and sure it works fine but if you don't want to push the limits of your phone and get better results by all means wait for them to OTA Froyo 2.2 to you! They pack a lot of extra garbage in with the phone that i just couldn't stand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tylerham:
Where did you hear that Bell would be doing an Over The Air update to the SGS? As far as I know, while the phone has the capability, very few carriers take advantage of this in the Galaxy Ses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dice62:
Just wondering,

My phone seems to be in love with the 1900 Band. I did not lose the 850 band, as I can select it in band selection and still maintain a signal, capable of texting, going on the internet, etc. Under GSM status, it states 850 when I select it as the only band, but when I have it set to automatic, it goes for 1900. This isn't a problem, but in certain places, I have 2 bars of signal using the 1900 band, but 4 bars of signal using the 850 band. It should automatically switch to the band with better reception, but my phone does not.

Is there a reason why this happens? The rom and modem I'm using are in my sig.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HollowSoulz:
The OTA is supposed to be pushed out by bell within the next week or so according to a good friend of mine that works at wireless wave where I live. But why wait the roms are here and waiting you have just as good of a chance to blow up your phone with kies so the decision is yours!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smackdad4874:
Well after a few days of going great, after resting the phone on an engine to warm up the back, where the sim card goes. I had rebooted a few times with no problem, even made a nandroid backup. Today i went to back up again and it got stuck at the i9000M/ i9000 boot loop. I can't acess recovery, i can get it into download, and i dont want to use odin if I can avoid it. Looking into Heimdall now any other ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PrinceOD:
I ran in to that problem after updating to the BUJP8 from 1.2 last week. I was able to get back in to recovery mode (never lost download at all) by flashing JH2 through Odin, but it would just boot to the point of a black screen after the Galaxy S animation. The internal SD had lost its partition tables, so I was out of luck as I no longer had root access.

Do any devs think there's a way to get root via the stock 2e recovery? I'm certain that if we could fdisk the mmcblk01 back to a useable state, we could avoid sending our phones to be repaired... sadly, I don't know how to put something like that together, so I'm sitting here with an Omnia II while I await my repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Yea , Just lost my Sd card a few hours ago as well , tryed just about every trick now to get her to comeback but shes being stubern :( trip to the bell store likly for me tommorow...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omnicronx:
I thought I noticed that before when I was out, and now at home I am also on the 1900mhz band when I usually would pick up the 850 band.. I'm not sure if it was like this before but I just upgraded to 1.3... I'm pretty sure it switched fine with 1.2.

Or you running JP8 or JK3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PrinceOD:
I noticed this as well, on every version of FroYo I installed on my phone. If anyone figures out why this is, I'd love to fix it. I ended up just freezing my phone at 850 because it runs so much cooler on that band, plus there's less of a whine in the background.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omnicronx:
No it was good previously, I've been checking on the JK3 based roms before this version and I'm almost positive it auto switched before.. (i'm pretty sure it worked on doc 1.1 and 1.2)

I know there have been issues with froyo and the euro roms on our bell phones with the 850 band.. but I'm pretty sure the bell froyo rom worked fine before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dice62:
I'm running the what is written in my signature:

Doc's bell rom v1.3 and the UGJK3 modem. I have both bands, but it doesn't autoswitch, or RARELY autoswitches.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omnicronx:
It does switch it seems.. But still seems to favor the 1900mhz band
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] opensourcefan:
All roms have been doing that, even 2.1 at least on my device anyway.

For the past couple months I have been running 850 ONLY, works way better. So far I haven't found a downside but that all depends where you live. You will get much better battery life as well cause all that switching takes up a lot of juice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DaveJeep:
Took my phone into the bell store today for the dead internal sd. 2-6 weeks, argued with me since I got it at Best Buy and said why would we take it back, you didn't even buy it here. I pointed him straight and it was good from then on. Now the waiting game.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fluidd:
Is it necessary to recalibrate the battery stats after flashing this rom?

I moved from 1.1 to 1.2 and now I am currently running 1.3 Bell Doc Rom JK3.

This morning noticed my battery stats was at 3% so I plugged in the charger.

10 Minutes after charging I noticed (at the top right hand corner, where it shows the battery) it was giving me a reading of 7%, with "plugged-in" icon to show it is charging, but the progress bar was at rough 40-50% mark.

After turning off my phone and letting it sit for 10 minutes (while plugged in and charging).. I turned my phone back on and it was already at 54%..

Seems a little off to me..

If I do have to recalibrate, how do I go about doing so? I tried searching and cannot find? =[

All help is appreciated! =]]

Hey guys,

I just flashed v1.3 for my buddy's i9000 and applied the AOSP Lockscreen / Theme template.. all was fine.. and booted up fine yesterday..

Today he was charing his phone (plugged into car charger) and tried to make a call and all he saw was a black screen and the 2 bottom capacitive lights were turned on but he couldn't access his phone.

He immediately pulled the battery and then turned on the phone.

After the phone was turned on, he noticed that he had the OEM Samsung Lock Screen again and then pulled his battery again and then turned it on again.

After that, he tried to turn it on again, and all his apps were gone, also his internal sd storage says unavailable, his "available space" third-section (very bottom) reads 0 space remaining. He doesn't have an external sd card.

Don't know what to do?? Please help.. someone..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wang1chung:
flash back to jh2. i had the same issue, and once the phone starts un-doing things you've done (lock screen, theme, widgets, etc) your minutes are numbered. seems your friend has the flash un-friendly type of phone. doesn't matter how you flash, that phone is doomed, though with jh2 they seem to last longer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fluidd:
Yeah, I did the exact same thing with my phone and I have had no problems running..

Thanks for the advice! He's heading over right now and we're going to revert back to jh2. So you think I shouldn't put him back on Doc's Rom? =[
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wang1chung:
his phone lasted a day. i think it's safe to say he shouldn't be flashing anything but stock till this sdcard corruption issue is sorted out. maybe when samsung releases it through kies, they'll fix whatever is causing the issue, then we'll be able to flash any rom, but until then i'm staying away as i already lost one phone for over 4 weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fluidd:
Okay so I just flashed it to JH2 using odin. Everything goes through with no errors. When the phone is booting back up, the battery icon seems to show that its loading and then it turns off, and then it loops back to the battery icon showing that its loading.. this cycle keeps repeating itself and the phone doesn't boot up.

Also, his phone cannot even get into Recovery mode, ..

It just so happens that the exact same thing happened to my phone..

Bad thing is, we both don't have a receipt and have no way of getting it exchanged at the Bell store..

What to do??? :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fluidd:

Changes in v1.3 and on..

I'm running v1.2 and have been happily since the second day of its release. I really don't think I could be much happier, and so far have not had any problem with the internal SD.

I am hoping to minimize the risk of internal SD problems by not enabling a lagfix (the base Doc's ROM is a big enough improvement for me so far, with very little lag), and now trying to minimize the number of flashes.

So what I am hoping, Doc, is if it is possible to give a more complete view of what the changes in a given ROM update are. Basically, if I am trying to minimize flashes, can you provide enough information for someone to decide if a new version is worth upgrading to?

For example, with 1.3 including a new kernel, a little information about why that kernel was chosen, that would be great.

Hopefully, my request isn't too much trouble, but it would be welcome for a person like me who is trying to be conservative with their phone.

And, I hope the donation that I just sent will buy a couple pints to relax with soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
The small updates was very minor bugfixes, and not really needed updates.

I updated the kernel to the best choice at same time. So you can update the kernels manually if you need.

I been following this sd issue but there seem not be any consensus in the cause. Lets hope Samsung releases a fix. The big number of returns should wake them up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dannyphones:
I don't know much about the sd card corruption but I thought I read on the CM forum that the internal sd card doesn't actually work with that rom. If that is the case (and it might not be) could you just load the cm beta rom if you fry your card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fluidd:
CM forum? what forum is that?

Update: I was able to load on the JH2 firmware but I get this error message.

Cannot Mount External SD Card "Mount Point is absent or incorrect. Please unplug USB and try again."

I am guessing this is the internal SD failure log?

2 i9000s down the drain until someone can come up with a fix? =[[

Did many searches all over, and there doesn't seem to be a fix for it.. I wish I knew about this before I screwed around with roms.. Regretting everything now =[

Question:

When I flash roms over CWM, different ones for a bit, does it somehow slow down the phone?

What I mean is, does stuff from other roms remain on my internal SD card that starts adding up?

If so, is the only way to have a fresh start through an ODIN flash?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vioshift:
if what you're asking is how to clean up your internal sd....then you can format it while in android under-->settings-->sd card and phone storage...just make sure you put the roms you back on the internal sd after formatting and before factory reset so you have a backup plan ...if you want to clean out the phone where the os is installed i'm pretty sure a factory reset will be suffice

edit:

i would recommend

NOT

using odin unless you have to.....there are lots of reports to support the fact that there are issues when using odin. If you have CWM and its working I'd stick with it ;)
