"It's also running the newest Bell firmware, UGJL2 (Froyo v2.2). This allows us Canadian users (which seem to get ignored quite often - no other JL2 custom ROMs!?) to have our precious 850MHz band back, while sticking with an officially released ROM base."

I'm running Darky's v8.0 ROM and I have the 850MHZ band.

This is how you fix this after you've flashed Darky's ROM:

Optional:

Try flashing the speedmod k12p kernel after you've flashed your phone with Darky's ROM since it is compatible with our Bell Galaxy S.

1) flash JL2 modem file via odin (or via CWM) (search forums to get instructions)

2) Open "SGS Info" App

3) Click on Service Menu

4) Click on "DEBUG SCREEN"

5) Click on "PHONE CONTROL"

6) Click on "NETWORK CONTROL"

7) Click on "BAND SELECTION"

8) Click on "WCDMA BAND"

9) Click on "WCDMA ALL"

10) Click on "Select WCDMA All Bands"

11) Reboot (optional)

If you into SGS Info and go through all those menu options again, you should see a "*" on the following bands:

2100,1900, and 850.

Now you're running Froyo 2.2.1, which in my opinion is much better than Bell's JL2 stock rom.

@seeARMS or anyone else who can answer this SOOO noob question...

If I install a Theme over the ROM, can I still change my wallpapers, etc to customize it to suit my taste still or will I be stuck with the wallpaper that comes with the theme pack? :confused:

I am SOOO sorry if this is the dummest question on the face of the planet but I an new to flashing ANYTHING and the original seeARMS ROM and Hardcores kernel are the first things I have ever flashed so I am trying to learn as I go...

Please advise and I thank you in advance. Please be kind... LOL!!! :D

yiannisthegreek
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yeah, I've stated that flashing a Canadian modem in the first post will also give back the 850MHz band.

I created a custom JPY (2.2.1) ROM with the Canadian modem before, but I gotta say that I find ROM is quicker and generally better compared to that.

Everyone's opinion differs, though. Why would I create yet another JPY ROM when there are so many others to choose from? I'd rather give people some choice.

Lol, yeah, you'd be able to change the wallpapers and such. All themes do is change the color / animations / style of the stock theme. You're still able to customize it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robbiev80:
Choice = awesome.

Like you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm happy a fellow Canadian is offering this ROM! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
LOL... Thank You. In that case I hope you are able to port the "Gingerblue" Theme I recommended over for use on this rom or perhaps even R64's "Blue" theme.

R64's Theme Page Link (for the Blue theme) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=854191

I would like to theme my sgs in Blue and Black or Blue and White... Also... Are you aware if you may be able to theme the market for your ROM or if the other "themed" market apps will work for us? Again, I have seen the Market themed in Blue and White / Black and that would be the icing on the cake for me.

No up date yet?

I couldn't find any links to the UGJL2 v0.3

I'm guessing seeARMS is currenly working on v0.4?

I'm still on JH2 with my i9000m and am looking to update to a 2.2 variant firmware.

Thanks to the multitude of conflicting info out there I'm still unsure if UGJL2 isn't

going to screw up my phone.

(BTW, anyone know if Samsung Mobile Canada has an official facebook, twitter or

a webpage with announcements for Official firmware releases?)

Should I just upgrade my firmware via KIES to 2.2 and wait for seeARMS v0.4? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@AER0,

I believe that there were bugs in the original release of seeARMS v0.3 version of this ROM and he is currently working them out. The ROM download post stated that it has been pulled for now and that it should be put back up by tomorrow.

As for the JL2 Firmware, Samsung and Bell have both stated that the JL2 Firmware available on Kies has now fixed the issue of the multitude of dying internal SD cards. Although there seems to still be some units with JL2 that are still dying, I believe those units to actually have faulty HARDWARE and feel that the multitude of devices that were dying before were doing so from a SOFTWARE issue with the .SBL file (Secondary Boot Loader) which the JL2 Firmware addresses and fixed.

This being said... I can recommend that you flash JL2 from Kies and then follow the steps to get this rom BUT... IF your phone happens to be unlucky and does die after the flash, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY.

Just so you know... I too was scared to do any of this bbut once I got JL2 I got brave and have not had any issues.

Truth be told... I have NEVER had my SGS die on me since purchasing it on August 30th 2010. Have I been lucky? Perhaps but I feel MUCH more confident now that I have the JL2 Firmware.

Just my 2 cents... Hope it helps you in making your decision and... GOOD LUCK!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AER0:
Thanks for the prompt reply, much appreciated :D

However, as usual, my KIES isn't working properly...

After 30 minutes of shennanigans, I finally got KIES to recognize my i9000m,

but sadly, it tells me I have no updates (firmware) for it.

FYI, it states I have JH2.

This is 2.0.0.11011_16_5 Kies which was put up on the Samsung site on Jan 6, 2011.

Anyone have a link to a Kies version that has been proven to work?

(Same thing with all the electronics device manufacturers... hardware is good but

software always drags the quality down a notch)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'm gonna work on porting themes after I get v0.3 uploaded in a few hours hopefully. Yep, theming the market shouldn't be too hard at all. With the release of the blue theme you requested I'll be sure to include a colored (blue probably) market.

And thanks a lot yiannis! :)

Damn dude, you're becomin' a pro at this. :p

I'm not too sure, I tend to avoid Kies (you said it perfectly; it's a horrible piece of software). However for flashing JL2 it is the easiest.

Try following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853950

Scroll down until you see "If KIES, follow these steps:", and try following them.

EDIT: Also, forgot to say that I believe I fixed the boot loop. Gonna report back in a few if I'm right about what caused it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bossman74:
Do you think V0.3 will be up tonight ?

Really not putting any pressure on you, it's just I don't wanna be hitting "F5" all night if you didn't have enough time to do it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cytherean:
Just installed the Full Black, really nice!

SeeArms, you've got some excellent advice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@cytherean,

Are u running seeARMS rom and the themed market worked for you? No issues? You can download, update, etc?

Can you confirm this?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@seeARMS,

Thanks for the "pro" compliment but I'm far from being a pro...

I am however starting to "get it" as it were but I really wish I could code and assist in your rom project...

By the way... ARE you in Edmonton? I don't know if u ever told me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
It most likely will be. Pretty sure I've fixed the error which was causing the boot loops, so I'm gonna get it uploaded ASAP. If I haven't fixed the error, I'll post back here in a minute and say it's gonna take a bit longer.

Thanks. :)

I could see how it would work. The market is just a single application (Vending.apk), so unless there's differences between the XXJPY version and the UGJL2 version, it would work fine.

It's not like standard theming at all: the framework-res and other framework files are generally different between firmwares, so this is why installing a JPY theme won't work. Hence, porting it is a bit more tricky.

Regardless, I'll try the market in a bit and see if it'll work.

Nope, near Toronto, Ontario. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@ seeARMS,

Just so u know... I was just reading the super optimized kernal thread and have seen many people experiencing this wifi issue that some are experiencing with it rom.

Seems the culprit might be the kernal itself.

Thought I'd let u know incase u diddnt see this info or something...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Haha that's the best line :) ya I've been hitting f5 a lot today :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I've noticed a slight problem with the v0.2 firmware.

Whenever you get into contacts, the back button does not allow you to return to whatever brought you to the contacts. For example, if i went into the contacts from the home screen, it wont let me continually press back to get back into the home screen.

This doesnt happen all the time, but most of the time, so it's kinda annoying. Hope you can look into that.

Thanks,

Kenrick
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@Kenrick

This has been mentioned manytimes before in this thread. I believe it will be addressed in v0.3 when it is re released.

For now the fix is to replace the launcher pro contacts icon with the one from the app drawer I believe.

Read the thread and u will find the answer u are looking for...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yep, since I switched from SpeedMod this issue has been occurring. Hopefully it'll get resolved in a future kernel update.

This is a problem with Launcher Pro apparently, because I can back out of Contacts in the app drawer just fine. But, it's a very easy fix: just long press the Contacts icon on the LP dock and change the shortcut to the Contacts app.

I'm gonna add this to the FAQ, as many people seem to be having this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AER0:
Tried, doesn't seem to work with my Kies 2.0.0.11011_16 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cytherean:
Hi Yiannis,

I'm currently on Darky's 8.1 for the moment and yes the market seems to be working fine, downloads and updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Hmm.. Not really sure what else to do. You already tried spoofing your country code?

You'd always be able to flash with Odin if you want.

Also, v0.3 uploading right now. Should be up in 1-2 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D.C1986:
Hey SeeArms,

Just wanna say great rom and great job you are doing there.

However, seems like the V0.3 is harder on the battery. I noticed a significant decrease in battery life after upgrading from v0.2

50% is gone within 8 hours, that is without any playing and i made two phone calls about 3 to 5 mins.

Do you have any idea what is causing this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James Palm:
Just uninstal kies and reinstall previous version of kies. Then use the kies fixing tool. Google Kies and you will find 1.5x version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Pretty sure the kernel is causing the WiFi to drain faster than it should. v0.3 contains an updated kernel, which included some fixes involving WiFi. (which most likely caused the battery drain).

Try disabling WiFi when it's not in use (just to test) and let me know if you're getting better battery life. I'm gonna look into it a bit more and try to get it fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D.C1986:
Hi SeeArms,

I did turn off Wi-fi when the battery being drained like crazy. I dont know if it is just my phone or it happens to other ppl too. Something is definitely running on the back ground not sure what though. and at times my phone heats up to 47 - 56 Degrees. Which is not normal and often this freezes the phone and I have to pull out the battery and restart it.

P.S. this phone did came back with a motherboard replaced due to the internal SD issue. dont know if that has anything to do with the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AER0:
Anyone know where I can get kies 1.5.3.10103_112 or later?

Can't seem to find kies 1.5.3.10103_112 or newer.

(at least not actual links... most of them are just BS)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Well that's odd, your phone definitely shouldn't be getting that hot regardless of whatever ROM you run. Have you tried performing a factory reset? First thing I do before troubleshooting.

Check here, Kies 1.5. Seems pretty decent: http://www.soft-go.com/view/Samsung-Kies_79632.html

(Note, I just googled "kies 1.5 download", so let's hope it's legit. :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Taking longer than I thought to upload.. Gonna let it upload overnight. Should be ready by tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AER0:
So, the Kies didn't work, and the patching thing didn't work.

So I tried the Odin method and ended up killing the phone. :(

It won't even start up when I press the power button.

Tried to get into recovery and download mode but no response.

Anyone have suggestions on how I can resolve this?

Or is the phone dead for good?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D.C1986:
Hey SeeArm,

So I tried to do a factory reset as you suggested to fix the battery problem. However, after I done the factory reset the phone is stuck at the S screen with vibration (as I was on your V0.3)

So I flashed it with the JL2 Rom again and everything was working fine. But when I tried to install the V0.2 again the same thing happened again. What I don't get is that why cant I boot with v0.2, I have previously installed your rom just fine.

Any suggestions ? Is it possible there are things that got changed by v0.3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
What did you flash in Odin? It shouldn't cause it to brick unless you flashed something incorrectly. I've flashed many, many times using Odin successfully.

The thing that was causing the booting with vibration is the framework-res got changed in v0.3 because I added the battery mod. Apparently it didn't sign correctly so it caused the phone to go into a boot loop.

I've factory reset on v0.2 and it worked fine. And installing v0.2 again in CWM after I get into the vibrating boot loop worked fine as well, so I have no idea why you're having a problem. :/

I got the new, revised version of v0.3 uploaded. Try that out and let me know if you have any luck flashing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Download v0.3 revised now ;) can't wait to install

Hey seeARMS, you mention in the tweaks/configuration section that to OC you should get setCPU app. Is that app free?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
seeARMS,

I love the install screen now.. wow nice work.. how you set it up with the progress bar :) very very nice touch! And lot of status updates at the install goes along. Rebooting now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@turokk,

How did the install go? Is the boot loop fixed? Does it boot OK?

@SEEARMS,

Is the no wipe version of v0.3 up yet as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Install went perfect, what boot loop is that? sorry I might have missed a post on that.

Boots fine :) I just booted in.. no boot sounds thank god ;)

@seeARMS - when it was done the install it booted back into CWM and asked me if I wanted to backup and restore and a couple of other options. What should I be selecting when that comes up. CWM says it noticed a configuration /file changes.

I selected the first one.. not sure if I should have.. let me know so if I did select the wrong one, I'll go back and re-flash.

UPDATE: seeARMS, I decide to re-flash again.. this time it rebooted and didn't take me into the CWM recovery menu after the install, it just booted up.. no issues.. Not sure why it went to the CWM restore/backup options the first time I flashed and rebooted. Anyways.. everything is still working smooth. Just about to do a Titan restore.

Lagfix options changed: Do I want Ext4 without Binds or Ext4 with Binds?

Root issues?: So after my first boot up, I went and download Titanium Backup (one that requires root) I saw the superuser icon in the Apps folder. When I tried to load TitaniumBackup, it said I needed root privileges? Even though I have the superuser icon? I rebooted into recovery and did the "ROOT/Install Superuser" and did the "Simple: Install busybox+su" install. Wasn't sure exactly what the "Adv: also rm some toolbox cmds" added, so I stuck with the simple install.

NEWBIE QUESTION: Ok.. so I'm restoring using TiBackup.. I did a full restore +data etc.. tell me if I'm doing something wrong.. it's asking me to install every app one by one? Is this not automated? Also it I assume this is because the backup is on my external SD, it keeps asking for example "Urbanspoon. The software is APP2SD. Do you want to view the package detail and move it?" I've been hitting cancel. Is this the fastest way to restore? or is there an auto restore option and it just does it's thing?

Sorry this is the first time I've ever done a full wipe and then a restore.

But I'm in the phone, circle battery indicator :) no boot sounds with the Samsung logo.. so far so good. Still need to boot back into CWM and do the tweaks.

@yiannis - The no wipe version is up as well, I did used the wipe version, since my boot logos were missing lol still wanna figure out how to get custom boot logos :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
So, if we update from an earlier version of the seeARMS ROM to the newest, we still have to remove the lagfix before flashing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
X2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I didn't remove the lagfix before flashing, I was running v0.2 and just flashed this morning, everything is running smooth so far.

About to test the wifi and see how the battery drain is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
It's free for XDA users. Download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

Thanks!

Yep, v0.3 no wipe was up before.

You got the prompt after the initial boot because you didn't disable the lagfix before installing it.

I'd choose EXT4 without binds; it's generally safer than with binds.

When you're starting up Titanium Backup, choose "Install Reliable Busybox Version". This will download an older version of Busybox which is compatible with Titanium Backup. You shouldn't have to reroot the phone; it's already pre rooted at install.

You did a batch restore, right? I don't think theres any way to disable Apps2SD. I'll look into it.

Yeah, you should remove the lagfix. I've flashed a few times with a lagfix on (forgot :p) and it was fine. I'd always reccommend removing it before flashing, though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
Is there any change in that one (as it has not that booting issue?)

...just to know if I should update as I am already running the "old" v0.3...

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Ok I installed EXT4 without binds, then it booted back into recovery and said there was a filesystem change, I choose the backup and restore option.

Should I re-flash or will I be ok?

Yes I did a batch restore, ok let me know what you find out.. it was just a pain in the ass hitting Install, then cancel, then done.. I mean I don't have TONS of apps on my phone.. but if I have a good 15-20 and I can't imagine doing that with 50+ apps :)

I'll install the "Install Reliable Busybox Version" as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yeah, the only difference between the old v0.3 and the revised v0.3 is the booting issue is fixed and launcher pro is updated. So, update if you want.

You'll be okay. If it's working fine now then it's fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
If i flash the no wipe version.. I uninstall lagfix... but what about the 4 tweaks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
You can leave those enabled.

Just wondering if this rom will have the sms time stamp issues with Rogers/Fido being 4-5 hours off? The normal Bell stock roms are always off and I end up having to install a time stamp fix from the marketplace.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Anyone know how to use SetCPU and adjust the MHZ from 1,000Mhz to 1,200Mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
No idea. I'm on Bell and I'm not getting any issues. The MMS.apk wasn't modified so if it was in the original JL2 it'd be in this one.

I was hoping to include the SMS fixed APK in future releases.

Open it up, grant it root permissions, go to Autodetect speeds, and drag the "Max:" value from 1000 to 12000MHz. After you know it's stable and everything works, select "Set on boot" to enable the speeds on reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
I believe its the .SBL that they made changes to with JL2 and not the actual firmware, But im no expert, it's just from what I have been reading , So if you were to flash to JL2 first then you will have the JL2 .SBL and then flash to a JPY you will still keep the JL2 .SBL as no custom roms include a SBL.

For those wondering .SBL refers to the Secondary Boot Loader.

Anyway Good Job Seearm's I'm sure many users appreciate your effort once you get some themes going I'll definatly be giving this a shot as one of my favorite games NFS does not work on 2.2.1 :( so it's making me want to flash to a 2.2 rom again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Biffin:
Hey Seearms, will flashing this rom give me Edge back? I am running Darky's Rom, and in areas where I have bad reception, I drop down from 3G/H to just G. I am using my i9000M on Rogers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
If you're running Darky's ROM then it doesn't have the 850MHz band. Flashing this ROM (or a Bell modem) will give it back to you, and in certain areas that use the 850 band and lack other bands (probably these areas you're getting bad reception in) then you should get much better reception, because your phone will use the new band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James Palm:
I just applied "theme_ultimate_update_6_edint3000 mod")[made for jpx,jpu,jpy,]

and it was working and it added the extended power menu. I was very EXCITED and Very HAPPY.

Applying this unauthorized theme did cause this error:

I am getting and error " The application DRM Protected Content Storage (Process com.sec.android.providers.drm) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."

I was able to reboot but recieved the same error.

I did a factory reset data but that caused an unstable system.

Some tweaking will have to be done but it is very close as everything was running with that theme, which is my favorite theme.

Did a restore without the theme and now I am fine again.

This is not a problem with your rom as I caused this problem by applying a theme that was not created for JL2 but that is what beta testing is all about.

Still Love this Rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James Palm:
An error was caused but was easy corrected by deleting that folder and having the system recreate it. Not a big problem at all.:D
