[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
IT SHOULD sit at "starting rageinthecage" for a min and then continue. If it fails, try the option to "reboot and try again". That worked for me if it failed.

I don't know exactly why it fails sometimes, but I have had it fail a couple of times and then work after reboot. It's weird. Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Depending on the rom, you may have to flash back to stock JL2 with ODIN before KIES will connect and allow the update. Not sure though.

I am not worried personally. There will be many custom 2.3 roms that will be far superior to the Stock Samsung update anyways. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] llcooljay:
OK, I'm not sure if it's me or the phone. I have rebooted as per instructions on the program about 5 times, still not working. Is odin a better way to load it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Honestly I don't know. I do all my flashing from CWM as the one time I tried Odin...it blew up.

If you are going to try Odin, then just flash a kernel like DamianGTO's Ultimate (it rocks) and you will get CWM with it.

I am heading to bed. If I were you I would just do some searching in these forums. There is plenty of info on this and other issues to be found. :)

When I originally did mine, I just rooted it and then used that installer I gave you (just ran the batch file) and it worked.

It seems that every time I flash seeARMS rom, I lose it and I have to run it again though. As I said, I have had it fail a few times...........but it always ends up working in the end.

What error is it giving exactly?

Failed to get root?

Failed to run rageagainstthecage?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] llcooljay:
ok I got it ! I had to reinstall everything twice. I must have had a corrupt, or broken file , but it is working good now. I still have same problem I had before though, sometimes the back button doesn't work and if I hit the home button it does a screen capture. I thought it was a software problem,but it must be a hardware problem.

Thanks again for all the help, and for the great rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim5055:
I had the same issue I think cos I started with a different kernel than specified in the install instructions, ie I was running a lightly modified JL2 kernel but with voodoo lag fix and CWM.

Nothing I did could fix the black screen.

When I installed the speedmod kernel specified as if you had 3e recovery, then did the CWM install all was fixed.

I then hit the swype issue and downgraded back to old install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
By the fact that you said that it sometimes does a screen capture when you hit the back and then home, it seems like your back button is responding slowly or causing phone to freeze up for a sec, because it thinks you are holding back and hitting home button (hence the screen capture).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Haha i dont double the superiority of the custom roms...i just want to make sure i can still update to 2.3 (either through KIES or using a custom rom).

I stuck with JL2 anyway, to avoid running into any internal SD issues, and to at least ensure my 850Mhz band will still work in Canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
For the Swype issue, isn't it possible to simply bring back the original Swype that was in JL2? I know that this one looks better but...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
You can always save or flash your JL2 modem into any custom rom. Trust me, I have done it many times. You can make any of the popular roms (like Darky's, Insanity, Ultimate) work on your Bell i9000m. I have flashed just about all of them on mine at one point and they all worked fine. :)

You can also find a stock JL2 version and put it on if you ever have to warranty your phone. I have one on my PC as a just-in-case.

Trust me dude, Darky's, Ultimate.......or any of the popular roms here are WAAAAAAAAAY faster than stock Samsung JL2. You don't realize it until you flash one.

As for your internal SD, since you have already updated to JL2 which contains the updated bootloader, your SD issue shouldn't be a problem any more with any rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] llcooljay:
The issue sometimes changes with mine. Sometimes it will back up on it's own, and then other times when I want to back up it is very slow to respond, the button turns off and I have to wait for the two buttons to light up and then go off and try again or else I get a screen capture. I don't recall it doing this before I updated to jl2. I was hoping the custom rom would fix that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
You sir, are a very helpful person haha.

I'm guessing you just install the custom ROM and then install the JL2 modem on top of it using ODIN? If that's the case, then what is with all those configurations on ODIN that you need to be careful of? (Like re-partition, and those other stuff that can be checked off). I'm just worried about those when flashing a modem using ODIN.

If you don't use ODIN, then what else do you use? I have an extra copy of JL2 from seeARMs here, so I'm basically ready to flash JL2 on top of any custom ROM, i'm just unsure of what to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
I have a question. I installed a GPS optimisation app from the app store and ever since my GPS has been terrible - I'm talking 3-5 mins just to get a lock. Is there a quick/easy solution to this ? I.E. reflash the modem ? I am using a JL2 modem as I am with Bell with an i9000m. Please any assitance or advice would be appreciated.

Also second to this issue is surrounding Darky's Rom - is it possible for i9000m phones on the Bell Band (Jl2 modem) ? any advice ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
No I had this issue - you to basically do this:

Revert to stock JL2 (samsungfirmware.com)

Update the buttons using this fix: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/276470-fix-back-button-glitch.html

Then flash the kernel

Then flash the rom

You have to do it in that order or you mess up your buttons - i learned the hard way. i.e. if you update the buttons after flashing a ROM it won't work - you have to update from stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
The GPS question I am not sure of, but a factory reset may undo whatever (negative) changes the app did. Also, I would try clearing the GPS data.

The second question is easy to answer, just look at my signature... ;)

Darky's runs awesome. Coupled with DamianGTO's ultimate Kernel it's bloody fast.

As for keeping your JL2 modem, that's no problem. Just download the Darky configuration app from the market and run that BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM. Under modems choose "no modem" and it will leave your JL2 modem intact. You can also pick your kernel using that app. I would recommend Voodoo (the default one) to start, and then if you feel the need for more speed, flash in Damian's afterwards. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I personally have never used ODIN (ok I have once and it blew up). I do all my flashing from CWM.

What I did when I was running Ultimate ROM v8 is replace the modem.bin file in the Ultimate rom zip with the JL2 modem.bin (from the first post in this thread). When the rom flashed, it flashed THAT modem instead.

I just copied and pasted the JL2 modem.bin file into the zip over top of the one that was already there. The rom installer just flashes modem.bin in the rom zip, it doesn't care which version is in the zip.

The other option is to find a modem (any one) that is in zip form flashable from CWM and copy/paste the JL2 modem.bin into that. (I THINK that will work).

Here. I made one but I have no idea if it works, I haven't tried flashing it yet. I attached it to this post for you. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
Haha odin's not that bad Gib! The way you say works good I'm sure but odin will take about 30seconds. Wit's funny but everyone head different ways of doing things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
LOL I am sure it works fine, but it soft bricked me the one time I used it, so I hesitate to use it again. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
Haha I can understand that....haha I've semi bricked my phone every wayi could think of, haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
LOL and we keep doing it again JUST so we have something to fix.

Like now. My phone is running perfectly and it's insanely fast. It's driving me crazy! Nothing left to tweak! hahaha:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
About the jl2 modem on custom ROMs, I made one with doc's kitchen and worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funkadelick:
I am now running Damian's Kenel w/ seeARMS rom. I am gonna test out Darky's - i need to find the correct 9.3 to download --

Question: if I use the configuratior app, I select no modem (to kee the JL2) and if I select no kernel will I keep the one I am currently using (damian's) ?

also, this is all done (the flashing) via CWM correct ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] llcooljay:
Has anyone else found that the battery life is drastically reduced with this rom? I would estimate mine has been cut in half. I have been letting mine run down and shutting off and doing a full recharge, this is my second time doing this now. Also , can you edit the placement of the apps? I can't figure out how to move them, they are in alphabetical order now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
DId you use the same method when trying to flash to Darky? Cause I want to switch from seeARMS to Darky (cause i hear it's really fast), but the only thing that Darky doesn't offer is the JL2 modem, so I wanted to know how I could make sure I kept the modem the same if I switch over.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Hey Gibb,

I'm going to try these out, anything special I need to do, I assume flash through CWM?

DamianGTO Ultimate kernel v1.2 Beta 3 w/ext4 Lag Fix and theme -Steel Blue v3.1

Is there a link to that theme so I can seen screen caps? Any other themes you recommend?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Does the JL2 Modem.bin file work with any rom ?? Cyanogen, Darky's, ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yeah, you can go ahead and format it if you'd like; personally I would if I were you. I'd imagine it won't make that much of a difference, but I'd like to be safe.

And yep, this ROM has all window animations.

Currently, I don't believe there are any themes that work fully on this ROM (however, one user reported that he was able to get Ultimate working by just flashing it - but he encountered random app force close issues afterwards). I'll begin on getting some themes ported over tonight. Any specific themes you'd like to see? Perhaps a gingerbread theme?

Same thing happened to me - all I did was click the, "Problems?" button in Titanium Backup, which downloaded a reliable Busybox version. It worked fine after this. :)

The reason you don't see the i9000M is because of the kernel - it's built off the sources from JPY I believe. Not really a problem.

I'm not having any difficulty getting into recovery - I just hold down the buttons, and wait until I see any sort of text - then I let go, and it boots into recovery.

Is your phone charging when this is happening by any chance? I've always experienced issues when trying to get into recovery while the phone is charging... Seems you have to hold it down much longer than normal, and it flashes occasionally. I'd just unplug it from the power source, then hold the key combination, and it gets into recovery just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cytherean:
Same thing has been happeing to me since I flashed my first rom. The disappearing M I've seen in a couple of video's so that hasn't worried me and when I try to get into recovery it usually lets me in on the second loop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Many thanks for the ROM! Will give it a try ASAP. Questions: (a) once I've switched to this ROM, will I be able to flash CM7 whenever it becomes available?; (b) what's 3e recovery? How do I know if I have it? (I'm pretty sure CWM is installed on mine.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PatcheZ:
great work seeARMS, and looks like great support as well. will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

um, maybe add a flashable JL2 modem incase people who've flashed JK4 want to go back?

and hahaha, you might need to put "read faq before posting' in big red bold font, seems like you've attracted a lot of noobs (which is good) to your thread... but makes it messy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Yes it was plugged in charging, that was the issue :)

As for battery indictors I would like to see ported, this one would be cool, if possible.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=382146&d=1282054064

I'm still looking around for other ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
seeARMS... No wipe of v0.2 not up yet? Will it be up today?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yep, you'll be able to flash it.

3e recovery is a recovery included in Froyo (Android 2.2). Boot into recovery, and if you see "Recovery 3e", then you have it. :) If you see ClockworkMod Recovery, then you're fine.

Good idea - don't know why I didn't do that in the first place. I'll get it uploaded asap. And lol yeah, I really should add that. :P I've been trying to make the FAQ as detailed as possible to avoid all the basic questions.

Got it - I'll start workin' on that asap.

Currently at school right now... I let it upload all night, so it's definitely done. I'll get the link posted as soon as I get home (in about two hours or so).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donkeyhitman:
I'll preface by saying that your hard work is appreciated. However, the cynic in me is asking:

Is the essential purpose of this rom is to minimize the sdcard corruptions?

Because I don't see any other purpose for it. The 850mhz band can easily be resolved by flashing JL2 modem with other custom roms out there. We are not getting the true JL2 experience because your rom has Speedmod kernel which is based on JPY.

[APP] SGS Battery Icon Mod2 - v1.1.2

Has anyone used this before on the Bell SGS? I was a post on it looks like it works.. just curious if anyone has used this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826870&highlight=battery+indicator&page=11
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
I think the premise of this rom is to keep the essence of JL2 ie. the .SBL bootloader, etc which as mentioned many times before Samsung and Bell have stated that this JL2 firmware has fixed the internal SD corruption issue which is believed to be due to the .SBL file it contains.

Im no expert but I believe this is the gist of it. @seeARMS... Please correct me if I am wrong.

P.S. On the other side of the coin I think it is AWESOME that we have someone dedicated to creating items that are specific to the Canadian i9000M anyways!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I could be totally off here being a newb and such with this stuff.. but seeARMS did say if you keep the JL2 .SBL boot loader, you could install other roms and keep the same .SBL. Excuse my terminology if I'm wrong.

And I agree I think it's good we have someone willing to spend time on creating something specific to CDN i9000M.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pr0cs:
The 'M' disappearing is just due to the Kernel you're using (or as part of the ROM itself). The official ROM (JL2) release shows the M because it's their own Kernel.

Using Speedmod, voodoo and many of the other kernel variants makes the M disappear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donkeyhitman:
I too am glad that we have someone dedicated to cook roms for us I9000M users. The more roms the merrier I say. DocRambone and Idan73 had briefly joined force to help us out in that capacity and created the JK3 thread. Ever since Idan73 fell victim to the infamous sdcard corruption, the thread has gone dead. Now thanks to seeARMS, a thread strictly reserved for I9000M is revived. I just hope that this rom is significantly different (for the better) than other JPY roms with JL2 modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
The essential purpose of this ROM is basically to provide a fast, functional ROM for those who are wishing to run JL2. Basically every other custom ROM out there is a variant of JPY, and that's great, but what about those seeking a different base? I chose JL2 because frankly I wanted to stick to a firmware which my provider, Bell, has actually released, not some unofficial ROM created by Samsung. This ROM is as fast as my previous JPY-based ROM, so, why choose a different base? :)

Minimizing SDcard corruptions is done through the secondary boot loader (see the FAQ) so this ROM doesn't really affect it in that capacity.

Basically, I didn't want to create just another generic ROM using the same base everyone else is using; Doc's kitchen can already create customized JPY-based ROMs, so there's really no point. Creating a JL2-based ROM specifically for i9000M phones, however, hasn't been done before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donkeyhitman:
That's why we have vanilla and chocolate. Thanks for providing another flavour for us to choose from. Once you have successfully ported the themes (e.g. Vukandric's VA Green and/or MAMBO04's Ginger Mix) to this rom, I will give it a shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] macro6:
Any battery mods available for this rom? i.e. circle battery
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donkeyhitman:
Just use the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen http://circle.glx.nl/ to make one. Upload the framework-res.apk (extracted from this rom) onto the kitchen after you have chosen your own design and they will cook it for you and will provide you with a zip file which can be flashed using CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Do you have a direct link to download the Kernel? It's a 258 pages thread so I don't know where to find the file..

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
It's in the attachments.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=488712&d=1294940262
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Yep. Same thing with the kernel. Just pick no kernel and no modem. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
It should, yes. As long as the rom is compatible with the phone, the JL2 modem will work.

The easiest thing to do it just open up the rom kitchen, choose "create update.zip" and select the JL2 modems under modems. Then you have a copy of JL2 modem that can be flashed from recovery at any time.

That or just save the one attached to my post (a few posts back). That is a pre-made one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hi.

Yep. You flash through CWM. With kernels and themes you can just go ahead and flash.

The most popular themes are Steel Blue and Black Android. There are threads on both (and tons of others) in the themes forum with screenshots. Check them out.

Damian is up to beta 4 now with his kernel BTW.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Darky's is easy to switch to. Download the Darky app from the market, run it, and choose "no modem" and it will save your JL2 modem. You can also save your current kernel wih the app. Save the settings and exit the app.

Then you just backup your apps with Titanium Backup and reboot to CWM.

Once in CWM:

- Disable any lag fix

- Wipe data (must do this!!!)

- Clear Dalvik Cache

- Flash Darky's

- Good to go, JL2 modem intact.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hey guys.

For future can we keep the talk of Darky's rom to either Darky's thread or PM's? It's not cool to talk about how awesome Darky's rom is in seeARMS thread. :)

This thread is about seeARMS rom, we should keep it that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
As we are back to seeARMs rom., is there someone who have a solution for swype (which include french canadian)?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedd:
Umm.... Install Darky's ROM? :D I removed seeARMs from my phone as soon as I started having issues with the Swype keyboard, including that parts of the Swype interface were popping up in French.

Updates to this ROM don't seem to be moving much here, which is fine, but not when I can't Swype...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
But darky's did not include french canadian keyboard in the swype wich is include...

Qwerty swype with french dictionnary... seeARM was the first to give us that in custom rom.... If only i knew how to easily extract it from the stock Bell JL2 rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
It SHOULD be easy enough to extract. Someone here must know how. I would ask the maker of whatever rom you want to try (eg Darky) how to do it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
Isn't there a link on the first page to his swype? If I remember right you can flash it in cmw no problem. Unless that one is expired too
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Do I need to disable the lag fix or anything like that? Are there any recommended settings you use for Kernal?

I see Beta 4 is out now.. should I get the 600HZ or 600HZ_CWM, I'm assuming just the 600HZ, since I have CWM?

****Update- So I put the 600HZ on my SDCARD, I'm in CWM, but I see no option to select no modem, no rom update. I was just going to do select zip from SDCARD like normal and then flash it. Is there something I'm missing here? Do I need a newer version of CWM? I'm running v2.5.1.0 SOK ULFK. I know the SOK is the speed optimized Kernal.. so maybe I should be flashing the 600HZ_CWM?

Can you provide me with some details on this procedure :) please it would be much appreciated.

Steel Blue theme - I noticed this theme is more catered to Darky's rom, will it work with SeeARMS's? have you tested it? Did you have to do what they say in the instructions? Remove boot bootanimation.zip and this "1. ensure that you flash zip from CWM (not darky config or anything like that). You will need to go in and mount /data before you flash zip from sdcard." never heard of doing that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
I will, thank you! ...and i must admit that Darky has probably the snappiest rom i've seen so far, I am running it but i use seeARMS' swype as he was the only that matter about us damn french-canadians... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
@turokk, I don't think you have to disable lagfix for kernel flashing. Check the thread to be sure. The one you got is for flashing with oden. You need to get the one that says CWM, that is for flashing with clockwork mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Ya I just read on the thread, you don't need to disable the lag fix. I'm going to flash my kernal shortly.

UPDATE: Running DamianGTO's Ultimate Kernel v1.2 Beta 5, it runs pretty smooth so far.. if there are any tweaks I should do let me know, right now I'm running on Ext 4 w/lag fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
Do any of these roms fix the 30MB limit imposed by Samsung for applications downloaded from the Market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Can someone tell me how to change roms on our phones, without changing the modem or firmware or kernal?

I've been helping my friend at work who picked up a SGS, but I'm not sure how to do this. Does anyone know on here? I don't wanna change mine to find out :)

I'd rather just do his phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
Your friend should do their research and do it themselves, or learn together. They should at least know how to search for troubleshooting in case you're not there to fix it if something goes wrong. Just my 2¢.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
just flash either this rom (seearms) or Darky's. With Darkys you can use his app from the market to save your kernel and modem before flashing.

Changing kernels does not change modems, the modems are packed with the roms.
