Oh trust me.. I know I told him that..serveral times, but he's not good with computers or anything technical, he's got skills at lot of other things though. So I tend to help him out with the techy side of things, computers mainly and now his new cell phone.

He would be SOL if I ever changed phones or leave the company we work at :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Perfect thanks man exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't sure how the modem stuff worked, so all roms always have the modem packed within them?

I'll more than likely put him on seeARMS rom.. still reading into Darky's rom. Seems like it would be stable if you keep the UGJL2 modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
SeeARMS would be a great start for your non techie friend. It's what I started with. Just encourage him to try and learn more, he'll be better off. I knew nothing about this stuff but months of reading this forum I was confident to flash my first rom.

Darky's is awesome, and I still got data with jpy modem but flashed jl2 modem in case I need 850hz band out at the lake.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I ran Darky's fine with JL2 modem. Its stable and bloody fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bossman74:
Which version of Darky's are you running ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] llcooljay:
I'm running the seearms rom, but I need to go back to stock firmware to do the button glitch fix someone posted on page 97 in this thread. How do I go back to stock? Do I use odin?

Also Gib, I am thinking of using your setting when I switch back, do you still recommend your setting, or is Darky's running well with jl2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
You'll have to flash jl2 with odin after making sure you disabled all tweaks and lagfix. You can get the jl2 file at samfirmware.com

Also just found this link jl2 http://www.multiupload.com/UTFJCCIP5H
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I was running the latest, v9.3. I had zero issues with it. I just like to screw around, so I flashed a kitchen rom for now. (I will probably come back to Darky's) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
LOL Which setting?

Darky's runs perfect with JL2. Pair it with Damian's kernel and it flies. I had ZERO issues and I am going to go back to Darky's after I finish test driving this Kitchen rom for a bit. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] duntz:
I don't want to sound mean, but I second the not talking about darky's rom in seeARMS thread. Both are great roms, but this one is for seearms.

I hope I also don't kill the discussion since this thread is very alive. Has seearms gone mia? I'm still looking forward to the extended power options!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I ended up putting seeARMS rom on my friends phone, he's very happy with it.

Speaking of, where are you seeARMS??? I remember you mentioning you where working on an fixed/upgraded version v0.4? Is that still in the works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
I hope he's working on a 2.3.3 version and not on a 2.2 version again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nobody has heard from him in a while now. This thread has gone dead (except for us), and his Gingerbread based rom thread has also gotten buried in the pages from lack of activity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] duntz:
Is he still in school? It is final projects time and leading into exams...

This is a good rom and I'd hate to see it die! Maybe I should convert to darky's if there is no activity here for a while.

Have you guys tried the sok 4.8.3? I get really good battery life and it runs really fast. The vsf option was put under tweaks in cwm so it's easier to turn off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I'd hate to see this die off too.. it is a good rom and it supports the Canadian folks. I mean as long as you have the modem I guess we're ok? As far as internal SD problems?

I still haven't gone to v0.4 yet because I was waiting for a "fixed" version or a v0.5 to come out.

Also I was reading news about Darky working on the Gingerbread rom for the SGS?? Anyways I know I shouldn't be talking about it on here.

I'll still post on here.. hopefully he's just in finals and exam time.. but still I'd like to see a post " Hey I'm alive guys" would be nice :)

No I haven't tried the new SOK yet, I'm running DamianGTO Ultimate kernel v1.2 Beta 5
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
I am lost do i have to redo all the step if i am using v0.3? like wat i meant is do i have to redo the 3e recovery step?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
If you are already on a seearms rom and have clockwork mod then no you do not have to do that part again. Just flash with clockwork mod and thats it. Clearing cache partition and dalvik cache doesn't hurt either. They can be found in the main menu and the advanced clockwork features menu respectively in the recovery mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
i am using ur recovery it looks like it froze, trying 4 time
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
Help!!!

i tried that too my just jump from clockwork mod to steam and then it tells me

E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/seeARMS.JL.v0.4.package/seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4/sd card/update.zip

(Status 2)

Installation aborted.

I am so frustrated now.... err.......:confused::confused::mad:

Is there instruction for ppl upgrading from v0.3 to 0.4?

going to try re download the package...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
You are trying to flash v.04 and are currently running v.03 right? :)

did you extract v.04 first? It installs differently than v.03

The zip you download from the first post is the COMPRESSED rom. You have to extract that to your internal SD card first. Inside the zip is the actual rom zip and a seeARMS folder with all the goodies inside (modems, kernels, apps).

The updated instructions are here:

To install this ROM:

1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).

If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3 (however I'd recommend customizing your install. )

2a. Browse to the "seearms/kernel" folder on your SD card and delete whichever kernel you do not want to install.

2b. Do the same with the "seearms/modem" folder: delete whichever one you don't want to install (I'd recommend installing the JL2 modem unless you've specifically had problems with it).

2c. Do the same with the "seearms/applications" folder: delete whichever applications you do not use. You're allowed to delete all of them to create a slim install, or delete none to create a stock install.

2d. Browse to the "seearms/extra" folder on your SD card, and delete whichever extras you do not wish to install (You're able to choose the Generation X theme, blue Android Market, custom boot animations, etc). Most importantly, if you would like the ROM to wipe your data, leave "wipe" untouched. If you don't want it to format your data, delete "wipe".

2e. So, before going further, you should have the following folder structure on your SD card:

"seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip" - anywhere on your SD card, doesn't matter

"seearms/extra" - customized to your liking

"seearms/applications" - customized to your liking

And a single file in both of these folders, depending on the kernel and modem you wish to install:

"seearms/kernel"

"seearms/modem"

3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".

4. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.

5. Select OK, and wait for the file to flash.

6. Reboot. This reboot will take a while (upwards of 2-5 minutes), so be patient and don't shut off your phone!

Congratulations, you've successfully flashed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
I did everything on the first post, i even customized it so i dont a load of useless stuff that bell's stock has... damn i must be doing something wrong crap!!!!

is there anything i have to change in the seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4 where the zip file is?

How do i get rid of steam.....

Awww..... Crap I think I figure out.... where i messed up.... gonna give another go LOL finger croseed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nope. You technically don't have to change anything. Just unzip and flash. You ARE flashing the zip INSIDE the zip right? Just making sure lol.

You should end up with a seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip file and a seeARMS folder after you extract the seeARMS.UGJL2.v.04.package.zip. Make sure you DON'T flash the seeARMS.UGJL2.v.04.package.zip. Flash the seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip file. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
rofl i think i wasnt reading carefully LOL was flashing the updated zip, unzip way too many times lol, thx for your help!!!:o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hahaha. Glad you got it sorted.

Fyi you can run any rom you like here. Just hop over to the rom kitchen and choose "create update zip". Then make one with the JL2 modem. That way you can flash any rom you like and keep your JL2 modem by flashing it after.

Trust me. I have run Darky's, ultimate, and kitchen Roms and they all run fine on my Bell SGS. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxywolf:
Thanks, I'll try them out probably tmr...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jason123420:
Hey gibs is the JQ1 modem better then the JL2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] duntz:
I've found jl2 to be my best modem so far. Try the other and see if you like it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
Hey seeARMS, do you think you'll be making a gingerbread, 2.3.3 ROM?

I'm curious if flashing the new 2.3.3 bootloader will get rid of the secondary bootloader, leading to more dying internal SD cards...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
We haven't heard from seeARMS in awhile now.. so we will have to wait an see if and when he returns to the forums.

Right now he is MIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betaboy00:
anyone manage to get the wiimote app to run with this rom?

I thought the app doesn't work with touchwiz pro, but this rom doesn't have that.

Any thoughts? or there's more to that?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I find it to be. My signal is much better now. GPS locks faster also.

The biggest improvement is in texting. On JL2 I had tons of texts not go through. Maybe 20% would fail and I would have to resend.

Since I swapped to JQ1 I have not had one SMS fail. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
Hey Gib!

Did you need to do something special to enable 850 band? Was it already with jq1?

I looked quickly and did not find the post that may explain, could you redirect me? Also is there a thread the shows modem and bands supported? finally, how is battery usage with jq1?

Thanks in advance

there seems to be a new OTA update through Kies being reported for Bell users. UGKC1. Someone has extracted the modem from it. Its from this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018414

Nice, let me know how the Atrix is once you hack it up and stuff.

I'm waiting for the SGS2 probably
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Dude. Even unhacked it's sooo much faster than the SGS. Everything runs like butter. Battery life is much much better and the GPS locks to within 25 FEET in under 10 seconds.

After playing with this (even though Motoblur SUCKS), I can see how bad Samsung is at coding their roms. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING runs so much smoother on this thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hansonator:
How much you asking for the sgs?

I played with an atrix at Future Shop a week ago and did not care for it at all. I especially didn't like that there are no toggle buttons in the notification panel.

Finger print reader is pretty cool though, good extra security. Hope some great custom ROMs show up on here for ya. Enjoy the new phone... traitor. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Lol :P

Ya the lack of toggles in the notification area bugs me too. I just use the power widget instead.

I am asking $300 for the unlocked SGS. It has an extended (1 year more) warranty from T-Booth also.

Could your technique of replacing English UK by French CA in the Swype package be used to update Swype to 2.29.71.20084?

Hey All.

I am having an issue. I installed the rom and it was working fine. I then converted the system to ext4, now all of a sudden when I install apps, the seem to install fine, but they don't show up in my app drawer.... If I open the install file in the APK manager, I can run them, but the icon doesn't show up....

Anyone else having this problem?

You can try going into applications and clearing the cache/data for whatever launcher you are running.

It went fast lol.

Btw. Still loving the Atrix. Battery life kills the SGS and it's sooo much faster (even stock). The screen is shweet also. Like the Retina display but larger. :)

The only complaint I had is that Motoblur sucks royal ass, but Go Launcher fixed that!

I've got the same Quadrant Score with Darky's Rom Extreme Edition w/o Lagfix and seeArms v0.3 w/ lagfix!

And it's 2.2.1 version and not 2.2

Can't wait to install Darky's v10.0 stable w/ Android 2.3.3!!!

AWESOME!

Tried so many other guide and all fails. (somewhat scary!) Until I come across this guide and it works perfectly!

Thx!!!

(It would be nice if one can customize the first/second boot up screen. Or at least a way to make them match.. now showing I9000M then I9000...)

Oh also I kinda miss the feature, when I hit power button I can select silent mode...

hehe, still a newbie and trying to figure out all the features...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jason123420:
The i9000m and i9000 is because of your kernel... I suggest use damiangto 1.2 its the best and will get rid of the i9000 part totally
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whatid:
Thanks. I will have a look at that later when I get a chance..

Meanwhile, do you know if possible to get the allshare app (Samsung's DLNA app) back?

Also the "swype" keyboard complains it is expired??!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jason123420:
Yeah I don't know I don't use seearms anymore... it hasn't been updated since Feb so I use either darkys or docs rom now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whatid:
I am ready to try other ROMs... Say if I switch to Darkys, how can I tell if 850 band still works?

Cuz according to seeARMS

Still learning....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jason123420:
Before u flash darkys 9.5 go to the market and download the Darky rom configurer and chose no modem and no kernel it will keep the settings u have on your phone now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zorxd:
You are not supposed to "install" it.

You need to unzip the archive and replace two files on your phone. I did it under recovery mode through ADB. I also wiped dalvik cache just in case.

Not as convenient as an update.zip but works fine for me on a JS8-based ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whatid:
yea. that's a bit too late for me now. :( Is "Baseband Version" the modem firmware version? It now show I9000XXJVE. Is that any good (or bad) for my Bell I9000M?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
It's not the end of the world, you just won't be able to use the 850 band wich we need in some areas to have signal. All you have to do now is flash the jl2 modem in cwm recovery. Here's a link for the jl2 modem www.multiupload.com/TC1ME8VB20

Hey... I'm alive guys. :)

Sorry for the unexplainable inactivity for the past while. A few of you guessed correctly: I'm still in school and I was working on finals. I have a tendency to get distracted quite easily while studying (as I think of ways to improve this ROM for instance), so I wanted absolutely no distractions as I put more important priorities on top of this ROM.

Regardless, I'm back and I'll be working on a new-and-improved version of this ROM for those of you who are still using it (not many I presume - I don't blame you, I was gone for quite a while :/ ) as well as a couple of other cool things I have goin' on.

Thanks for everyone's unfaltering support - I've definitely learned a ton while creating this ROM and I'm glad I can create something others enjoy using. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jason123420:
Sweet glad your back
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Good to have you back. As for ROM development, I'd rather have you focus your creative energy on a Gingerbread-based ROM for us Canadians :) , seeing as there's no hope in sight for CM7...

I think lastufo left the SOK development and I really like speedmod as a replacement.

I am looking forward to a 0.5 as well. My phone does not work well with Darkys rom for some reason. I get absolutely TERRIBLE battery life, no matter what I do. I have tried everything.

So keep up the great work seeARMS :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
Did you try flashing another rom? There's more then Darky 's, the RomKitchen with their JS8 rom worked great for me. Insanity and Ultimate are also pretty good but are a bit more for advanced users or just go back to seeARMs 0.4. Its still a good rom and the only Canadian one at that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] border43:
I have not tried anything but Dary's yet no. Maybe I will try another one of those you suggested later. I am reflashing seeARMS right now to see if it fixes my battery problem. If it does, then I know it was Darky's rom, but if it doesn't then maybe my phone is screwed and ill give one of those other ROMS a try haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CraneGuy:
Darky 8.0 is the last darky rom that had good battery life for me. Never tried it after 9.3 but it had terrible bat life but the other roms I listed were good for me, all with damiangto ultimate kernel underclocked and under volted. Works great on seeARM's too.

Have you checked this out? If so what is the update?

It upgrades you to KC1 firmware.... still 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] border43:
I hope its a modem update. The JL2 Modem is not very good. I hope we can just flash this modem over our current roms too if this is true
