Fantastic!!! Hope we can flash a perfect working rom very soon. I gonna make a donation for this work when its done for sure! Great job!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
I guess we can safely say Gingerbread is coming now. :)

Supercurio, you crazy you. ;)

Oh, and the flashes when he hits the edges of menus is version information enough to me. :)

Nice video, supercurio! Thanks. Hope there are no major roadblocks ahead! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sebring5:
I had this issue. I forgot to turn USB debugging on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trickst0r:
Yeah I read them.

"Data must be converted to Ext 4" Darkys rom ->Ext 4..

Just wanted to be sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
That's just to make sure you can boot the kernel. What I was more worried about was your ability to get in to download mode using three button combos.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
You can still get into download mode using the 3-button combo, this ROM doesn't touch that part. You just can't get into Recovery mode until you flash back an SGS kernel, that's it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jeshter2000:

Heheheh good news hope he fixes it !

It is Coolya by the way....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
I realize that, how ever, certain phones (Captivate batch 1008, at least) have 3 button download disabled. If he flashes this, and has 3 button download disabled, then he's stuck. That's why it says in the OP, make sure you can access 3 button download before flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mosd:
installed gingerbread did the commandos but changed one because it couldnt find the file that i put on sdcard. just took away the .tar in the name and it found it. The kernel that supercurio says i have to unpatch is already patched. so just installed thru odin. Phone reboot but didnt come any longer then s logo. Back on stock jpy what did go wrong ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
You changed the tar command? Did you put "busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar" instead of "busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz"? Also, any number of things could have gone wrong. Did you have an ext4 /data partition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trickst0r:
Yeah i have acces to the Download,Recovery mode.

I wanted to start now,but I'm still worried about this "You must have proceed to complete backups before"

What does that mean?

Do I have to make a Nandroid-Backup?

And busybox is installed with Darky's Rom,Isn't it?

Sry for those questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
I think all rooted roms have busybox installed, but if it says something like "bash: busybox: not found" then just install from the market. I think the nandroid backup is just in case . Personally, I've had nothing but issues with nandroid backups so I didn't bother.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] philippsp:
I hope the wifi reboot problem will be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trickst0r:
Ok,

Last quest. before I begin :D..

I had to flash the 3 Bottun fix from Richthofen to enter the Download&recovery-Menue.

After flashing the Gingerbread port,could this fix be gone?So would be... and couldn't get back?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cloudedone:
The fix will stay because the fix updates the secondary boot loader which isn't touched by what you're doing in this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] imran077:
Stuck at Bootup screen I9000 S

I have tried every possible combinaion but my phone gets stuck after gingerbread upgrade at Boot logo.

I think this is a definite bug

Voodoo is installed so I assume phone /data is already Ext4

Installed latest busybox

I followed all adb instructions

Flashed kernel but it gets stuck at the boot logo

I have been through the whole thread and tried every possible solution and combination but I can't seem to able to Boot into Gingerbread.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Manadar:
Voodoo installed doesn't mean /data is in ext4, actually i run with a voodoo kernel w/o any lagfix on the darky's v7 rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheEscapist:
Type "mount" into the terminal/shell. Look for a line containing "/data" in it, and it will tell you if you have ext4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tharfrin:
A big thanks to everyone who contributed to this rom!

Also, I guess it's been said but quadrant will in most cases jump out when you get to the 3d tests...

However, I was lucky and got it to run the whole test once (though with the 3d tests untextured, everything was just colored grey).

The final quadrant score was 2315!

Probably some of that is because it doesn't render the textures though...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Azerty16:
What about 6 axis sensor?

Does it work like a gyroscope?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
So yes it IS bugged.

(like on CM it was?)

Do you know what is worse than quadrant scores? Bugged quadrant scores.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Robert8457:
Looks great :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yo_alex823:
Got the same thing.

Solution

flash speedmod with ondin

then flash the 2.3 kernel from recovery (.zip file first post)

reboot and Welcome to Nexus S!!!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sebring5:
I used Doc Rambone's rom so I could apply the Ext4 lagfix option to all and clearly see I was doing so. Everything worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrisjcks:
Think ill wait for a complete rom port, shouldn't be long - some of the vids I've seen look great!

I wonder if samsung will release a un-modified android like the nexus s, I hope so - its practically the same phone anyway!

"DREAMTEAM SGS"

Just a thought :p

You folks are doing a wonderful job! THIS is what I love about open source coding.

Keep up great work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omiks3:
I had this problem too. I had to run adb from recovery with the system mounted
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yeah, right.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] __Miguel_:
Hi there, guys.

First up, props up for sc (great trick you did with the nick, btw) and the whole team that is porting Gingerbread to our beloved SGS. GREAT thing, and it never ceases to amaze me just how fast it's coming along.

Second, and I know this is probably a wee bit early to ask (since we're still in an Alpha release at this point), but since you guys are joining efforts, and the resulting firmware will most likely be rooted and such, do you think you could integrate UV/OC-friendly options to the kernel? So it can be controlled by an app, like the one that's available now...

I know basic functions are the top priority (as they should be, duh), and that this suggestion will probably be ignored for now, so please don't bash me with "it's too early for that" (I was trying to get a Linux reference in there, but I fear my bash knowledge is too low for that... :p). I'm just putting it out there for the devs to ponder in the long run. My stock 2.2 ROM feels fine now (though I still get lags when multitasking), the only thing I'm missing is UV and idle CPU control (well, that and a bloody integrated SIP client, but that's another story). But a 2.3 ROM with UV would probably fill my every need and desire for SGS, and if what I'm reading is true for current 2.3 power consumption, it would boost my battery life to about two weeks (careful tweaking gives me 8-10% battery usage per day on my ROM... :p)

So, again, props up for all the team, and keep up the great work. I'll be returning to the sidelines now, this is a long post as it is...

Cheers.

Miguel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mr_at_sgs:
Are you serious? 10% per day? Unbelievable ... Please give me more info about your ROM. Thx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
no signal

guys, you mentioned that now the phone is capable of making calls, i just still cant.

the phone acts like no sim inserted. please help me out here.

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Try using a different modem and also look earlier in the thread to see compatible ones and how people got their calls working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] imran077:
tried but did not work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] offenberg:
Amazing! Imagine if camera gets fixed:) almost perfekt gingerbread on sgs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gjroeleveld:
Looks great. Amazing how good it works.

Upgraded from darky v7 with speedmod k12c kernel.

Cwm flashed. No sweat.

Only issue I haven't seen noted yet is that market was trying to download all my previous apps, which caused the phone to become laggy. And 50+ simultaneous downloads in the market still won't work ;-)

After cancelling all, with a lot unresponsive 's at first, I've been able tool install most of them.

Apart from that I must say I'm impressed by the build.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] imran077:
flashed speedmod k12c on Darky 7.0

flashed nsonsgs-unsigned-cwm-update.zip from recovery

stuck at boot logo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
What about your battery life? Could be useful to post some stats
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gjroeleveld:
Have you activated the advanced lag fix in recovery first?

And did you do the advanced commands for the dump?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
i looked to them and most of them are using jk3 or jk4 and those are canada modems and i dont live in canada so that is a problem :)

anybody with a modem suggestion?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metalzoa:
Im not sure if Im hanging or something, but every which way Im trying ... I get Galaxy S screen, then one screen-blink and back to the same galaxy s screen and it sits there. Maybe im being impatient but this loading time feels abnormally long. I battery pulled the first time I did it via odin flash, ans the second time is basically in the same state even after a full reflash to 2.1 to retry the alternate method.

I can't say everything must have gone smoothly cause somewhere along the line it refuses to read my sim. I dont expect its a big deal because Ive seen forum posts about it before. I confirmed my baseband version is lost, but it can be recovered. My question is do I need to recover it before going to Nexus on SGS? Is it an indicator of why the thing isn't installing properly for me?

I just wanna have gingerbread baked on my device for the season :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Try the JP5 modem, you can find it in the Doc thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
tried, not working
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
what about JPY?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
i was actually on jpy before switching modems so, negative :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] imran077:
That would be pretty obvious. I did all the ABD commands system dump, busybox.., sync,.... everything. There are other people having the same problem. It just sits at boot screen after upgrade as explained.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
That's strange, i have no problem with both of them. Turkey has the same roms as central europe doesn't it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
i dont know, i didnt flash an official turkish rom in my life because they havent got android market

edit: by the way it doesnt read my sim, so i think i have some problem with my /efs folder(in gingerbread of course). lasy update changed my product code to kor. will that be a problem?

edit2:i have tried jpy,jpx,jp5,jpp, they dont work at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
have you let rom running for a few minutes? For me it seems to take at least a few mins from boot for data to get running (JPY modem).

Also, check that APN is correct, internet APN is checkboxed (mine wasn't by default), and data activated (in settings).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Yeah, it takes some times for me too.

Have you tried disabling data connection from a widget? I can't disable it from extended controls for some reason
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
it doesnt even ask for the pin code
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Have you already tried flashing a normal kernel to see if it works in the other system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:
yes i even made a video call
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pacob75:
Hi all and merry christmas from Spain.

I've read the whoooole thread, I promise!!!

I put the system dump in the sd card, I opened the ADB console and introduce the commands, and where I was at "busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz" the phone started to show messages like "aplication forced to close, please open again" (more or less that was the message) and in the ADB console a message like "there is no free space in the devide, can't continue". Why is that??

I followed all the rules (I'm in darkys 7 with voodoo lagfix activated)

Thank in advance for everything you do here. That is amazing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
That's really strange, is it the efs folder still there? If so, i dunno what's the prob
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
LOL MAYBE because there's no more free space in the sdcard? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pacob75:
I have almost 5 gig free in the internal SD card...

And the pop-ups windows in the device?? Is that normal??

Thanks anyway!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NoobProof:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Governator:
Boys is the first time that post in this thread .... but as development proceeds of gingerbread on

SGS? He still has big bugs?

How turn? Apart from the quadrant, are noted differences in the use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stepping:
It depends where your free space is. I had to deinstall system apps to get enough space on "data" or "system", i dont remember which one it was.

You can delete not used system apps with the app "sgs tools" (and within the app "Cleanup System Apps") from the market and then try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pan466:

you can use "sgs kernel flasher" from the market ^.^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] blackdeath09:
It doesnt work. Says file is TOO big. Seems like a Gingerbread-specific error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
just for your information.

i wanted to give it a try, but I gat stuck in the samsung screen going of and on once.

i think i did everything i need to do maybe i missed something, but maybe not in the right sequence, besides the fact that you have added nexus_s to the tar.gz

but thats not the reason of my post, because i wanna figure it out myself. i have 1 week to play around with my galaxy s.

the funny thing is before i had dark's 7.0 installed with speedmode k12c and lagtfix activated (ext4 as it should be)

and before i put it in download mode it showed 88% battery left over.

then i fllashed your kernel got stuck so i sayd well lets go back to k12c

went back, started it up, and now it shows 95% of the battery

initially it did not show the 100% with k12c, with one bump charge i got it up to 98%.

and then usual battery behaviour besides that I removed the autorotate. which slowed the battery drain.

So it's funny, wonder if these are true 95%. maybe you kernel has correctly read the battery status.

Ok I shut my SGS down and plugged in the charger. and the battery looks really like it is 95%.

so result, it showed 97% as it did before.

Just activate wifi when you play with the phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gjroeleveld:
Uptime 8 hours... Just disable wifi if you don't use the phone.

Screen could use some calibration. Especially when using the keyboard. The outer keys have to be touched on the "inner edges"

Yeah. You can easy do that with the controll widget!

There is a potential fix for Galaxy S screen-hang

I had this problem multiple times earlier in the day and I can't remember the exact sequence of actions that solved the problem, but it could be one of a few things I tried. What I do know is that Gingerbread Curio V6 flavor is baked to perfection on my phone, so it can happen on yours too.

1. Make sure you're not on an overclock kernel before you flash the Gingerbread one.

2. I was using EXT Overkill lagfix + Binds and I downgraded it to EXT4 on DATA_FS only

3. When the screen hung, I did a battery pull and went into Recovery. For some reason recovery had my OLD settings for the Lagfix. This was probably the point where I did #2 and then proceeded after a backup and recovery into a sucessful Gingerbread tech demo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jung-na:
wooow

Im still using 2.1 like a loser... I wonder if there ever will be an official 2.3 release for the galaxy s... Im getting 2.2 in january since thats when my operator will start offering the update to their users... Also, i think that there should be more freedom in upgrading to any OS you want as soon as it comes out... Like Microsoft Windows for PC...
