I heard CM7 has issues such as bluetooth etc not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n00dles:
You are aware that Miui is based off CM7 right? But with it's own flavour and tweaks.

There are a few different variations main one being miuiandroid.com which gets the release from china and translate it into english, then there is xda which is the more tweaked version (I personally favour the xda release).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
There's an even better version coming shortly, by Galnet, Friday release (Saturday for us)...ima change back to miui then ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n00dles:
I've used a number of different rom's in the past but feel in love with the XDA Miui MCG release.

Like with all earlier releases of CM7 which is what Miui is based off, there were the initial teething problems i.e. battery drain, 3G and wifi issues, boot loops, random reboots etc but what I like about the MCG release is that it is constantly being updated, if there is a bug, then it is usually addressed within a few days. It's also got a growing community based with a number of Miui websites dedicated to each country.

New Galaxy S2 ... things missing??

Hi Guys,

Wow, not long after I upgraded my Galaxy S to 2.3.3 and totally happy with the increased performance, my phone plan came due for renewal and I secured a Galaxy S2. Two great phones.

But I don't seem to be able to find the Daily Briefing or the really neat "Disc View" in the music section on the S2. Am I pathetic at finding things or are they missing?? If missing, why would Samsung remove the great animation of the Disc View, I really liked that feature.

Has anyone got any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shanakin:
I'd suggest you ask in the S2 forums to be honest.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crushvic:
is the official gingerbread release in australia?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
Guess I'll wait till friday and see what's what..

Looking at some videos on Youtube, I like how you can instantly set different themes. Looks like the most customizable thing ever which is what android is all about I guess..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
I just wanna know that if I decide to use it, every function on my phone will work and work well with minimal battery drain and be stable..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
The new rom is available now, see the development thread > Galnet - MiUi v1....make sure you read the manual in the 2nd post, explains most things, if any questions feel free to ask me ;)

If you want a completely different phone I would recommend MiUi, feels very different (in a good way) and you'll notice the difference instantly if coming from stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Talking of stock I'm back on jg4 this morning just to see what the difference in battery is like! Gotten so suck of unplugging my phone in the morning only to fund the battery at like 70% or less on gb. Was seriously pissing me off and left me hanging twice when I needed it for a day without a charger and with using maps and it died.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quangmach:
Hi there, can i ask you that jg4 is the latest gingerbread now? Actually im on the latest miui rom right now got some issues that make me wanna come back to normal samsung rom. Everything is great on Miui but in latest miui i got some apps not compatible and i always got low signal on Miui even tried many Modems. Any one got the same problems as me?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
I have low reception on all roms...;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quangmach:
Which carrier are u on?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Virgin, my house = bad reception most of the times...once outside it is better, never full though...

On another note, back to miui for me, can't believe I went back to stock for a while. Tis so much faster!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fatjoez:
JJJV5 is an awesome modem

[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
Thanks for your help..

What makes Galnet's MiUi better than the MCG version? Do they basically have the same features and tweaks (such as Juwe's Ram Script)?

Also, I cant seem to find if they both have the CRT llock screen.. really like that so I don't wanna lose that if I go to MiUi..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
Thanks, helped allot. Also reallised that I need data networking turned on. Duh
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Umm I'm not sure to be honest, and yes both have CRT screen off animation, if that's what you're talking bout? Neither have juwes ram script as it was causing some issues I believe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
Yep, that's it. I'm just trying to work out why you we're holding out for Galnet's when MCG was there. Have you flashed it yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
I was looking at changing back to mcg, but was told to wait, as galnet was working on fixing some things (what? I do not know). Yes I flashed it yesterday and gee, its good to be back haha...no lag at all, smooth, pretty much everything is instant, and for me battery life is pretty damn fine (may vary for you, depends how much you use 3g data etc, synching)....

Edit: changelog/difference between mcg and galnet:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
Sounds good. When I get a chance I'll flash it. Can I restore my apps from TB or do some apps have issues with it?

Do you know how many different themes come pre loaded?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Yeah TB works for most apps, some apps data fail to transfer though. Think there are like 3 or 4 preloaded themes ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tqgia2:
Hey there,

Hey guys, completely new to the whole flashing thing and to be honest quite reluctant since I've heard of phones getting bricked left right and center but you guys seem to be okay so I thought I'd shoot a few questions here since you'll give me relevant info :)

Firstly, got my SGS from Vodafone. Its running Froyo 2.2 and as for any else I am completely lost. I've tried reading a few of the forums but they sound like a new language to me. My phone isn't rooted but the lag is driving me insane, which is why I am now here.

I would like to experiment but to be honest I have no idea where to start exactly, all my friends aren't interested in rooting or iPhone fanboys so that's a dead end. Would anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?

Also, do you guys think I should just flash (if so, few good suggestions?)? or just wait for the stock gingerbread to eventually come out on vodafail?

Thanks heaps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mwshuo:
I have had my Galaxy S for about a year staying on stock and waiting for Optus to update firmwares. Only recently i ventured to try out different roms, etc, because i wanted to upgrade to gingerbread.

I personally recommend GingerReal. It doesnt get as much attention as Darkys rom or miui, but after trying them all i always go back to gingerreal.

Also it was the first rom i ever flashed because of its easy to follow guide.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1025348
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tqgia2:
Cool thanks for that :) I'll give it a go. I've seen a lot about darky's except I just don't get whats going on in those topics with the list of a million different downloads. Feels a little overwhelming
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
To be honest I don't think darkys is what its made out to be...it use to, but in my opinion its quality as a rom has decreased ... but to be able to use the latest custom roms you must flash stock 2.3.3/4 firmware through Odin...first thing you need to do is make sure you have recovery and download mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
I recently upgraded to Ficeto's 2.3.4 JVP and loving it. It's pretty smooth and does everything sweet.

I've come across the MIUI Rom which looks pretty insane. Do you guys recommend it? Can some current/past users list the Pro's and Con's of MIUI (i'll most probably be installing the most recent update).

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Probably best if you read the past 2 pages of this thread....miui varies for each individual in terms of battery life (a negative?). I, myself do not care (I have 2spare batteries) but the battery life seems pretty similar to stock, for me, might be different for you ;)

The best thing about MiUi is the speed...there is NO lag, everything is instant....you have to try it and determine it for yourself, if your not satisfied, so be it, flash back to stock ;) I would recommend flashing Galnets latest version (see android development thread)...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kibaa12:
all i can say im damn missing my SGS lost all reception the other day and have had to send it off to samsung on warranty >_< as i could not fix the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] householddog:
Scratch that found it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
Alright will do. Well two days ago I installed JuiceDefender Ultimate and it has recorded battery life savings of 1.75x (at highest) but is averaging around 1.5x. These numbers may not be correct, but I definitely don't have to charge my phone every day anymore even with little use. I'm only a Uni student so I don't need email syncing 24/7 or anything like that, I just sync my accounts manually during random times of the day to see if anything has come through - so it's not like im heavy on the phone like a businessman would be.

But yeah i'll do some research and readings. Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tqgia2:
I had that problem after flashing for the first time. Had a heart attack and tried reflashing from the start following the GingerReal instructions again... worked perfect after that.

And I must say I am now quite impressed and in love with my phone again after flashing. Everything went well and GingerReal is awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borgsta:
For anyone with Telstra, what do you guys find to be the best modem?

I'm currently running 2.3.4 and UGJK4.

Struggling to hold a solid connection at home (usually 2 bars, sometimes 1, never more.) In the CBD it is OK but still not brilliant.

wont boot i think i killed it

oh no i stuffed me phone

help guys i am in trouble i rooted all is ok

then i put the mod on to get it to record both sides of the conversation and now

i cant get it to boot its the voda phone model and i cant get it to load in to boot loader either tried 3 button tried everything have i stuffed me phone please help

ok got it to boot into download

tried heimdall

hmm heimdall failed

i just get a little icon of a phone and a pc

does that mean i have bricked it

if so what are my options

BUGGER
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
No your not bricked, reboot into download mode again. Download a three file rom with pit file from one of the forums (search ramads deodexed roms and you'll find them) you then need to donwload a program called odin (again just search he forums and youll find it) Then use odin to flash the three files with pit and repartition ticked. There are detailed instruction in ramads thread so just follow them. The reason you have bootloops may be that you tried to put a call recording phone apk designed for deoedexed roms on a stock odexed rom. Most of the mods on this site are for deodexed roms, so i dont suggest applying any of them on stock samsung roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rolyb:
Thanks for the Help JarradDD

i was worried i bricked it they are an awsome phone very happy with it

will have a search and a read

Someone help please?

I'm trying to install a MIUI Rom and I've successfully flashed to Froyo. However, the .zip file won't show up in Recovery mode when I am trying to install it. Can anyone help me out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Did you flash a custom kernel after flashing to froyo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
Don't worry, the issue was that i needed to put the .zip file in the /sdcard path because it was in the external file path

Anyone know which is the best modem to use with gingerbread rom for Optus?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
EDIT: Double post- see below..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
I'm using JVP at the moment, have also had good results with JVO and JPG.

Try a few out, if you grab perkas file stash from the market you can download them straight to your phone. It's easy to flash and reflash if you're not getting the desired results, takes less than a minute through CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zziggy:
Another vote for the JVP modem. I'm using it with 2.2.1 though but getting the greatest battery life ever since installing it.(and great reception)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chris_el:
I'm currently running CM7 and am getting the best results from JV6 on Optus in Sydney.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zziggy:
Testing JVQ modem today. Said to have even better gps and wifi.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
I can't remember - can I use gb modems with froyo or is it froyo modems with gb? Going back to js8 today and was thinking of giving jvq modem a go if I can!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
use whatever you want :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
Now testing JVQ also..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
Yeah it was that one.

turns out i hated Miui so flashed so Ficeto's 2.3.4 JVP which I was on before.

I just encountered a problem and I need urgent assistance.

I had very important text messages in my inbox and for some reason I can't really explain when I rebooted my phone, all my settings, emails, sms's etc, went back one day. All the sms's were received this afternoon and I need them for tomorrow.

So is there a way to recover these messages and/or is there a way to possibly view my SMS history online? I am with Three if that is of any help..

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
So far so good! Haven't tested GPS and need a charge or two to get a feel for battery use but signal and wifi seem to be stronger than JVP at this stage.

Will come back in a day or two and let you know my final judgement..

Sent from my SGS using my fingers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tqgia2:
For some obscure reason JVP doesnt work for me though JVQ does, on the Vodafone network if that means anything.

Since I'm running gingerreal, do I only look at modems with the XXJV- -CWM3 files?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dtswk:
I found that JVP would eat battery when it had a poor signal.

So far JVQ seems to be much better. Quick lock on GPS, good battery and signal.

Also running GingerReal.

hi, my screen cracked the other day, just wanting to know if anyone knows how to send it to samsung, has a telstra sgs 2.2 rom or any where in sydney i can send it too to get repaired
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kevin2516:
What modem do you optus people recommend? :p ive tried jv6, jv5, jvk, kc1 hmmm... Jv6 and jv5 seem to be similar for me.

Edit: didn't realise there was an aussie thread :D I only look in the dev forum lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
This

JVQ is hands down the best modem I have tried, I'm with Optus on 2.3.3 getting good GPS (quick lock with approx 15-20m accuracy inside, of course it's better outside) getting reasonable 3g reception in locations that I was previously struggling to get any reception on other modems. Battery use is also best I have had.

JVQ gets my vote..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tqgia2:
Completely agree with Mr Iwik although I haven't really tried anything else. Based on the recommendations here I went from JVP to JVQ with great results, my room usually gets 0 - 1 bar (terrible I know..) but after jumping to JVQ im getting 2 - 3 bars now :D

As for battery life, there is no noticeable change to me, still sitting on 2 days with average use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doktorV:
I found this method bollocks.

I have followed telstra's guide with only the ability to receive mms, not send as yet.

I tried your settings - saved the APN, went off to have a pee and came back to find my phone updating google maps as if I was connected to my wireless internet and in the space of a couple of mins my prepaid credit of $26 was down to $15!

****.

The only difference with the telstra guide is when they say authentication type they to choose something like $$....

an option i do not have my phone.

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flavaflash:
@doktorV

connect to wifi so you don’t use your credit im not sure if this part of Telstra’s site is unmetered so to be safe use wifi

then call this number 125130 you will hear a voice recording giving you a web address no need to wright it down Telstra will send you an sms with a web address from there open the page.

you will need to click setup follow all the prompts and a verification sms number will be sent to you by sms this is important don’t close the webpage.

get the verification number from your sms go back to the web page follow the prompts and select the apn settings you would like to restore.

then you will receive a configure sms open this and your apn will be reset to Telstra stock setings for mms wap internet.

Hope this helps

does anyone know if there is a honey combe update for the sgs, or if there will be one, cause i read somewhere samsung mighten bring it out as they dont reckon the sgs 1 is powerful enough, that or the want us to buy a sgs 2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
highly doubtful....honeycomb is currently only optimised for tablets. I believe it will be quite some time before it is optimised for mobiles, by then the SGS1 will not be of concern for Samsung to release an update (unless ported from another phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BrenMcgee:
Hey guys

I have had my SGS for around 9 months now, and have decided I want to try upgrading it a bit. I realise there are a couple of threads around for this, but being that I am a bit of a dumb arse/noob at this stuff, I wanted to ask in the Aust section.

I got the phone around October last year, and since then have only put a few apps on, and just recently enable 3BR. Now that I have that, I think I would like to try and put a newer/better version of Android on.

My phone is a Voafone one, running stock Vodafone 2.1. I was wondering what the best 2.3.3/2.3.4 currently available is, in regards to battery, GPS etc. Also, I am worried about losing APN data, and have been reading stuff about different modems etc. What is the easiest way to put a good version on, with a modem that will still give me good reception, and is it easy to set up all the APN/data settings etc.

One last thing I think. What is the best back up app that you guys use? For app data, messages, contacts etc? Is it worth paying for one, or are there good free ones available?

Cheers for the help

Brendon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doktorV:
Thanks but no joy - you can bypass the whole ringing telstra up part by simply googling 'telstra mobile set up' and follow the steps as you described.

I had already tried all of this, as well as manually configuring the APN in heaps of different combinations based on things i'd found in other forums/websites.

Add to that a 53 min call today with telstra 'technical support' who simply talked me through another half dozen or so APN settings to no avail.

What's worse is that at least one of the things i tried y'day ended up in me at least being able to receive mms..now i can't even do that!.

this is total bollocks - fancy having a bloody i9000 that can't send or receive mms! maybe i ought to go back to my good old archaic handset :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doktorV:
ok i sort of take it back- the previous post that i slagged off reccomending the following APN setings:

Name: Telstra Internet

APN: Telstra.wap

Proxy: 10.1.1.181

Port: 80

Username:

Password:

Server: wap.telstra.com/wap

MMSC: http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002

MMS Proxy: 10.1.1.181

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 505

MNC: 01

Authentication Type: CHAP

APN Type: internet + mms

...is the

only

method so far that has actually enabled me to send

and

receive mms, BUT...not sure if I always want this on! it seems to connect to 3G intermittently and chips away at my prepaid credit! things like automatic updates for google maps pop up and downloading them costs loads for me (i usually only update apps etc when on wireless). Un-enabling "packet data" seems to turn it off but then i don't get an mms if someone sends me one (i can always turn it on when i want to send an mms). so any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
thanks, next question, jv9 or jv6
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zziggy:
Whilst I personally prefer 2.2.1 with the gingerbread modem, you asked for 2.3.3/4 so I think you should download Gingerbread 2.3.4 version JVQ. Flash it with ODIN. Don't worry, it's easy. The modem in JVQ is the best i've ever had. APN settings - you can back them up with APN Backup & Restore from the market, or just enter manually (you can find them all on ausdroid). For backup, most people use Titanium backup, I use MyBackup Pro. For SMS backup I use SMS Backup+ For contacts, convert them all to Google Contacts then you never loose them and can change phones, lose your sim, whatever and they'll always be there.

Coming from 2.1 it will be a huge difference!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BrenMcgee:
Thanks for the reply mate. Where is the best place to get JVQ 2.3.4? I have actually done some research and from what I have read JVQ is what most people seem to prefer. When I download it, does it come with all kernel's etc that I need? And lastly, where is the best, idiot's guide to flashing with Odin? Lol :p

I really appreciate the help!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zvenn:
Moving to Australia on sunday, any advice as to which modem I should switch to? :D

Edit: I'm heading to Queensland if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
as many have stated, jvq is probably your best bet, however, just have another 1 or 2 other modems on your sdcard in case something isn't right ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
I'm using JVQ modem with 2.2.1 JSD. Also had a lot of luck with JPE modem.
