[Galaxy S I9000 General] TotallydubbedHD:
I am a noob galore - I love chicken!

I won't lie - I love technology - but Android is something else...It completely blows me away + makes me so confused.

Thank you for your guide, it does help us noob like myself!

I have to ask however:

-I did the Z4root - over the market

-Lagfix Voodoo - 1 click lagfix - through the market (got removed around a month ago)

On benchmark tests I get around 1500-1560 score.

Obviously it's better than my old scores of 700 or so, but Will flashing, adding new kernel, ROM, the newer voodoo - with the enhanced sound capabilities help improve that score.

Yes I know you shouldn't ONLY judge it by the score - smoothness and what not does some into play - But that's the only thing I can prove to say to you guys - it's slow- or it's fast.

It is fast atm, lags every now and then, and some hick-ups every now and then, where the apps just force close.

I own over £90 earphones - Quite an audiophile - Would the Voodoo fix improve SQ or just gain - as stated?

Can I brick my phone doing these things? It is possible, from your OP.

What exactly does bricking mean - unusable to what extent? How is it recoverable?

I could read endless pages on XDA - it is all very interesting - however it's not as fun when you don't understand 95% of what they are saying.

Thus why you go to some of those pages - they tell you to download this and download that. Doesn't really make sense to me.

Can someone help a brother out :D?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gordon_Jeffries:
This was very very very helpful! First time i flashed my phone and it went very successful all cause of this guide! great tut!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChmT:
I tried speedmod and voodoo with Darky's 9.1. Voodoo seems better to me because it seems a bit smoother when browsing trough menus. Big difference I noticed is in IGO navigation application when browsing trough setting menu. With speedmod there was allways a bit lag but with voodoo is much better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
Interesting... I am an iGo user myself. I dont use lagfixes or mod roms.

But I use speedmod.

Which iGo version are you using?

Do you use lagfix?

Can you run the music player and iGo at the same time, without hick-ups?

Tks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
From an intermediate user point of view, I can tell you that the sgs is quite tough to brick; specially when you have access to download mode and know how to use it.

For the rest, the answer to all your questions is on the "stickies" (fixed threads) of this and other forums.

Dont try to do things that you dont really need and/or fully understand .

For instance, if your phone was not lagging, why apply lagfix, converting the stock file system?

Find the right threads (usually the stickie ones) with step-by-step instructions.

Dont be in hurry, take your time; baby steps are the safest way....

Ps.- IMHO, this thread is not really for beginners; you need to be a little bit more experienced with flashing the sgs, in order to apply some optimizations; that's why real beginners should try readinng some more basic info before trying all this...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TotallydubbedHD:
In that case, is there any chance you could point me in the right direction?

Oh and the phone was SUPER laggy, that's the ONLY reason why I rooted, so that I could apply the lag fix.

After the lag fix it's been MUCH MUCH better, however I was wondering if it could be furthermore improved.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
For the rest I would say, if you are using any kind of solution like lagfix or optimized kernel or app etc. you should be asking the developers or chefs of those solutions.

And when you do ask, always mention which firmware, rom, lagfix and relevant apps you are using

cheers. great tutorial
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mart360:
Just lost my rooting virginity ;)

Great tutorial, gets a bit lost in places but got there in the end..

If ive got this right,

I've rooted the phone, applied Hardcore's Kernal , applied darky's rom, which wiped Hardcore's kernal and put in darkys kernal?

So if i want to go back to hardcore's kernal, im guessing its just a case of reinstalling it via odin?

I guess now i,m no longer Kies's friend, and cant use that any more ;)

couple of last Q's

how do i tell if lagfix is enabled?... it got a bit confusing applying advanced UKL features, as there were many lines with the ext4 part in it.

And some of the editing functions for the home pages are missing... i have 8 home screens, i only want 2 or 3, but the edit function wont allow me to delete them :(...any ideas?

Mart
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mart360:
Sorted, just me not being able to use the phone...

Ive now flashed hardcores kernal back in, and will have a play soon.

IF i dont like, i'm guessing that all i need to do is disable lagfixes, and reflash using darkys rom

Mart
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
I guess you shoud be doing more reading, other tutorials( see stickies) before going flashing.

First try one of the latest 2.2.1 firmwares, see how it feels, then try an optimiized kernel, see how it goes (smoothness, responsiveness etc.) before applying any lagfix, then you can try a mod rom.

When you use a mod rom like Darky's or Doc's etc., you will always (sooner or later) encounter a bug.

Also, if your phone is NOT lagging, why apply a lagfix, risking corrupting your system?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Guys sorry I've been neglecting this thread. After trying my best to make this thread beginner friendly it never got sticked and I knew it would eventually fall down from the first page and eventually be forgotten about. I've been very busy lately but I if people still feel a need for this thread, I will do a complete overhaul with updated ROMs and reviews etc. Please let me know :) Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Anyone? I've started typing up a whole initial post overhaul, including ROM/kernel reviews etc :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
Only thing I could add is that JS5 is different/faster than JPY.

And imho Criskelo's rom is the one with less bugs. And also updatable and customizable via "Rom Updater" app, which makes things easier...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
My suggestion: Supercurio has now done a Stock + Voodoo JS5 kernel which is the JS5 kernel with just the EXT4 file system lagfix conversion. For people who want to keep their phone 'stock' but have an EXT4 file system this is the best. I'm getting 1500 Quadrant with it and the phone is flying nicely!

Miro,

Very sorry to hear abour your damaged TG....

I would recommend contacting the authorised Toshiba Repairer for Europe - a company called Regenersis in Scotland. I originally had dealings with them via Toshiba but have subsequently found that you can make contact direct. They have the full facilities for repair and test of the TG01 and have proven to be pretty helpful and prompt.

ps. cool they has also two major facilities in Germany!

[TG01 Accessories] kevinpwhite:
Hi Miro, great news on your 'new' TG :-)

You're welcome for the information - yes, I saw that Regenersis had sites in Germany also - one certainly lists PDAs as one of the device types they deal with, but I understood before that it ws only the Scottish site which dealt with Toshiba. However, well worth asking if you send your old device in to be looked at.

@Novembre5 ended up sending one of his TGs to Scotland for repair last year from the US when stillm active on this forum. That was a bit more complicated than just within Europe, but shouldn't be any problem for you if you do have to send there.
[TG01 Accessories] mirolg:
not positive ( Regenersis email) :

Hi,

Please do not send this handset to Regenersis. The reason for this is we

will no longer be able to process a repair on the handset as there has

been interference. We would return this handset to you unrepaired and

labelled as BER (Beyond economical repair). This is inline with the

manufacturers warranty.

i will look on ebay or other to buy a demaged/defect device.

thank you for your help!

Miro,

Good luck with the transplant :-)

I saw a French site recently which had a step by step guide to complete dissasembly of a TG01 with photos at each stage. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark the URL and now cannot find it again. I think it was linked to from one of the other TG01 forums rather than direct from XDA. However someone on here may well have the URL - if so, please share - might be of use to Miro and also I'd be keen to have another look please....

Heya, guys.

I'm Angelo. Nice to meet you all.

First of all, I want to say Congratulations to all the people who built this website up. :D

THere's my issue now:

I got a Samsung Galaxy S on the 22nd of December, so it's kinda new, already updated to Froyo 2.2 firmware version (factory) I9000XXJPP build RSJP5

Rooted with Z4Root and Lagfixed with Ryanza's OneClickLagFix v2.2, I also modified the schedule (I've set deadline with tweaks instead of the default cpq).

I'm not good at all with all those roms and kernels stuff, Odin... Doesn't sound "safe" for me, don't want to toss it after three weeks.

I tried to speed up my phone, it went from 952 to 1857, but I don't see any changes, only at the start when I boot the phone, it loads faster.

Could you guys help me with this stuff out? I'd like to avoid to flash my phone, just to point this out.

Thanks in advance, Angelo.

Oh thanks! And how does this work? What does this introduce on my phone?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] existz:
I recommend flashing any custom JPY rom, 2.2.1 is night and day compared to 2.2, very fast, also recommend using Hardcores Speedmod kernel as well, make sure to disable your lagfix,(oclf does not work in hardcores) and use the ext4 lagfix from Hardcores kernel...

All you really have to do is flash your rom of choice in recovery, then flash your kernel, in recovery as well, and then apply your lagfix.. check your rom of choices thread, most come with instructions on installing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
The matter is that I dont know how to do these things... I mean can i do all these things directly on my phone? Darkys stuff seems to be fast and easy...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
If you check the threads for the ROMs you'll see very detailed install guides that the chefs have put together. You will probably need to use Odin for some steps so get the right drivers and read up on that (it's all here in the stickies or in General).

That's why it's always good to do lots of reading before posting :)

The best ROM available at the moment IMO, in terms of speed, customizability, and the best support community, it's Doc's Kichen.

Put together your ROM at www.romkitchen.org.

Check his thread for the instructions and if you need help. You won't be disappointed :)

I am sorry for having posted this in this section... I'll be careful next time ;-) anyway can i execute the whole process with darkys rom on my phone directly?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Since you are running Froyo currently, you must first copy your desired ROM to your SD card, and then flash a kernel that has ClockWork build in (such as Voodoo or Hardcore). Then you can simply reboot into recovery (volume up + home + power) and install the ROM from the SD card. That's about all there is to it :) If you have problems you can use the "clean install method" of flashing back to Eclair with pit but this is rarely necessary.

Using Doc's ROM is really the way to go, you get great choices of launchers, kernels, themes, modems, so you can make it just how you want it without having to waste time changing/installing things afterwards.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fullerms:
Flash Darky's Rom V 8.0 followed by Supercurio's sound fix. Guaranteed to turn your SGS into a speedy multimedia beast :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Either way, the procedure is basically the same. We could go back and forth all day :)

With Doc's online kitchen you can have Voodoo 5.1 with his awesome sound work ready to go right out of the box (hmm that idiom doesn't really work with ROMs does it :D)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
I really appreciate your help but... I don't know how to flash a kernel... I would like to do all these things with my phone directly...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Sorry bud, but there is no way to flash a kernel without Odin unless you have clockwork already. Which you don't if you're on an official Froyo release that has 3e recovery (clockwork can't be used unless you change kernels with Odin).

Flashing with Odin is easy, go into download (volume down + home + power), plug into PC, open up Odin, press PDA, and browse to the .tar of your kernel (such as Voodoo or Hardcore) that you downloaded. Press start and watch the magic happen. This is covered in great detail in many threads, plz look around
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zabivelli:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
ROM Manager is not recommended for most SGS ROMs. In addition, it is likely to cause problems with Froyo ROMs with 3e recovery that don't like unsigned zips.

Yep, you got it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Also a good option especially since OP said he doesn't have access to a PC :) For me, reaching for Odin is no big deal but there are lots of ways to get this done.

Can someone lend me a link to a good kernel that goes with darkys rom (which i have already downloaded)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Starting from a 3e recovery on stock kernel though? That's a different story.

Of course if you already have a custom kernel with cwr suppot, ROM manager is definitely a quick and safe way to flash. Although frankly I don't see how it saves any time whatsoever.

Rom Manager is known to have problems with some install scripts. It's good, but not perfect. I'm glad it works for you. No need to get upset over it ;). If OP wishes to try it, he is more than welcome to do so.

For safety you should always disable lagfix before flashing. Then turn on afterwards if desired. Many folks say they don't use it with the newer XXJPY releases but personally I like the extra speed/smoothness that ex4 offers.

You dont have to disable anything because on darky v8.0 the lagfix is already off.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
If he had lagfix on, it may try to stay on after the flash depending on how Darky has his scripts and Voodoo folder configured. For safety it's best to turn it off unless you are 100% certain you know what's going on.
