Thanks guys, will be giving it a go soon. If I have any other questions I'll ask here. I am currently downloading the JVQ rar file from samfirmware. When I extract it, will I have to select the PIT file, as well as the PDA, MODEM, and CSC files seperately? And make sure re-partition is selected.

One other thing I thought of. I downloaded APN Backup and Restore, and MyBackUp Pro, and am downloading SMS Backup+. But with MyBackUp Pro which is paid, how do I get that on my phone once the flash is completed, without having to pay for it again?

Cheers in advance!

** I got Odin 1.82 with the JVQ files, and there is an option to flash a bootloader. Does that need to be ticked or not? And I am assuming the CODE file is the file I select for PDA?

new to Android

Hi Guys!

Just moved to Galaxy S II from i900 Omnia..... I know a bit slow, but I loved the custom roms from modaco/xda; However I am very used to the windows ability to be able to control alot of things so, Gingerbread 2.3.3 is very good, but taking a bit to find my way round the customization side of things.

I have to ask, is there a way to choose custom sounds for recieving an mms,sms,email etc. Seems there is some settings in the individual progs/settings but it seems more general in its user customization. Any tips or apps to control/ enhance this???

What are custom roms like? or is it worth having standard?

How to uninstall built in crappy vodafone apps/samsung apps? Do I have to ?root? it?

version is:

i9100T

android 2.3.3

Baseband: i9100TDUKF4

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100TDUKF4-CL331615 root@DELL105 #2

Thanks alot and look forward to exploring Android. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
You can customise sound in settings and via the individual programs. I also use a program called ringo pro (not free) to set ringtones for individuals and groups, and it can set different sms tones for individuals/groups too.

hi, im bored and does ayone know any good roms for a telstra user, 2.3.3

im curretly running an all jv6 rom off samfirmwares
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dtswk:
I am a fan of gingerreal, but also like the native feel of DocRom. Haven't played with Darky or CM, they are also on my list.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zziggy:
Android market knows what you've paid for. Download it again. No charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
You need to choose in the apn settings if it is for internet mms or both. Very bottom item in list.

You will want two set up. One for internet and one for mms ... and then it will work... simple really.

mms

confirmed this over the weekend with my girlfriends pre paid telstra sim card in my galaxy s

What version of gingerbread did Vodafone make available?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] holdz:
2.3.3 I believe.

On the Vodafone AU blog it states it's JVO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Majestyk:
Hi, I got an unlocked Galaxy S GT i9000, which I bought recently and previous owner had already flashed it to 2.3.4 JVP and it has recovery and download modes working.

My question is I would first like to flash JVQ ROM, but some articles mention bootloaders 2e and 3e and others don't mention them at all.

Will I already have the correct bootloaders, so I can upgrade using odin? Is there a way to check bootloader version?

Also if I'm going from JVP -> JVQ I assume I don't need a pit file and repartion; is that correct. Again I see articles doing it both ways, but usually they are going from Froyo to Gingerbread.

Sorry for my noobness, only had the phone a week and a half.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
usually when flashing with odin the bootloaders are included. I'm not 100% sure but jvp and jvq should both have the same bootloader; it ultimately depends where you download it from...

I would recommend reading through the first few posts in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

JVQ and Telstra MMS not sending

I have updated to JVQ and all is fine with my I9000T with 850 band. The only issue i have is that i cannot send MMS, it stays there saying sending. I have checked APN settings and they seem fine. Does anyone else have an issue with this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Hi guys,

Anyone noticed the battery usage timer in gingerbread doesn't reset after charging? e.g 7 hours on battery, charge, 7 hours on battery.

Edit: had to charge fully for it to reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] me_ashman:
Funny I just noticed the same.

Sent via ET and he phoned it in
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Anyone on JVQ got excellent battery? If so, what usage and how many days? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
I have decent stats, 95% on 53 hours and better.

I only got to that after using the DamianGTO kernel and doing 2-3 full cycles
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Is that moderate use? Im on stock jvq and have only done 1 full charge. battery is quite average with moderate use. Maybe too early to tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Just had nearly 4 days usage on one charge.

Lots of calls and txt messages, camera and music. Been on holidays os so no internet or wifi on.

Usually 24-30 hrs fairly heavy usage with 3g on all the time though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Wow thats good. What kernal, modem etc? Have you done a few battery cycles?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Odexed jvq.

Jvq modem.

Speedmod t24 ext 4 lagfix on.

Stock gallery deleted and Quickpic app used instead.

Taken about 170 pics and hd videos.

Calls to home with txt messaging.

Couple of hours music through headphones.

Been in Fiji so no 3g browsing or wifi and I forgot my charger.

Very impressed.

Quite a few full to empty discharges.

Never judge battery usage for least a week after flashing.

Lucky to get a day at first.

Oh, I've got sgs2 live wallpaper and sense clock widget also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Nice. 2-3 days with moderate usage would be good.

Im running:

Stock JVQ

JVQ Modem

CF Root

Standard gallery and everything

Galaxy live wallpaper, weather widget.

Yeh only first full charge and moderate use seems to use 1% per 3-4 mins. Screen off about 2% per hour
[Galaxy S I9000 General] echidna2001:
I've gotten around 4 days as well (JVP & SpeedMod t22) but that was with light usage and staying at home. The main thing that kills my battery life (other than having the screen on) is driving around and weak signal.

If you move around the phone has to keep talking to the cell towers to do hand overs from one to the other as you drive around. That drains my battery moderately quickly as I drive to work and drive home. At work I have very poor reception (often zero bars) and that also drains it quicker.

So, if I just keep the phone at home and use it lightly I can get 3 to 4 days. If I take it to work, I probably only get 2 days at best.

The point is that it's not just what software you are running (although that makes a difference) but also the way you use it and the environment you use it in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
I'd be honest and say 'light' use, bit of sms, few calls, data updates and little browsing, i'm not a heavy user by any means.

The first few cycles had me worried, lasting around 9-10 hours (as displayed) but I think you have to zero the battery stats and a few cycles to get it to run true.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hyperthreader:
Kool. So needs a few full cycles.

How do you turn lagfix on with speedmod t24? I have converted FS and System to EXT4 and theres no advanced speedmod ulk features?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Not sure, the build I tried came with an accompanying app to do the work for you

Reinstall the drivers and switch phone to mass storage and turn on debugging.

I haven't bothered with kies since day one, its just as buggy as itunes. Just transfer direct the files.

Also update to a better rom/kernel. Try Brotuck's gingermod 3.33 with Damiens beta 3 best battery and the phone flies. They will keep the existing modem so no probs with next g.

Done about 4 battery cycles and get about 3 days with light use. Don't know how your getting nearly 4 days with moderate use :eek: Whats ur secret?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
I wouldn't be complaining if you're getting 3 days out of it!

With any actual use I wouldn't expect any more than one-two days, it's possible to get more but what's the point of having a smart phone if you're not going to use it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kevin2516:
Hmmm... i just flashed to stock XXJVQ and im loving the battery life, but it is noticibly slower than CM7. Although... cm7 drains battery life like crazy, but themes... themes... >=/ and its soooo fast. I did flash back to stock because uni is starting soon and battery life is important D:, i duno whether to stay on stock or go back to cm7 O_O im going crazyyyyyyyyyyy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbutcher91:
im on telstra with i9000, running cm7 2.3.4 with glitch kernel V11, and optimised ram settings, im getting about 1000 on quadrant with 400mhz, and Undervolted 100mV, and consistently 2850 quadrant on 1440mhz. About 12-15 hours one full battery, of maximum usage, i literally dont stop using my phone for a second throughout the day. Definitely look at cm7, + glitch kernel if your not sure of what'll best suit a galaxy s, btw i have full reception with telstra using the jvk modem within cm7
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbutcher91:
if you want pure battery life, flash cm7 + glitch kernel v11, download and install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145 , there is a cwm installable zip there, undrclock your phone to 400mhz with 75mV Undervolt. Also brightness to lowest (common sense) and an amazing app called screen filter. glitch kernel includes voodoo colour, so you can optimise these settings aswell for extra battery. (btw with all of this, 400mhz will be on par if not slightly better than 1ghz stock) i get guaranteed 12 hours of non-stop usage, ie music, ebuddy, facebook, xda, pulse, messaging, calls, downloading, FPse etc, and for those who dont use their phone as much, the glitch kernel is AMAZING with standby and sleep battery drainage, i get 0-1% overnight, hope it helps at all

[Galaxy S I9000 General] John.frisina:
Hi there -

I'm now on Galnet MIUI and I notice that this rom seems to start a lot of processes/programs that I haven't started myself. I'm constantly closing programs in an effort to conserve my battery.

Is there are fix for this in V6 (currently on 5.2)?

Also - does anyone know how to quickly remove duplicate contact listings?

Another question which I'm sure has been covered but just wanna make sure - If upgrading from previous Galnet versions, should I be doing full factory resets/wipes and will this cause me to lose all contacts/messages/apps?

Any thoughts anyone?

Only 2 problems with JVQ. The wireless isnt as strong as when I was running Froyo and the maps bug where its always on top of battery use.

Use autostarts or android optimizer to stop Maps (and other apps) from restarting..

I looked at my phone at lunchtime yesterday and it was on 84% and when I got home about 5pm it was on 64%. That's a really good day for me with standard use at work. About 10 calls, checked emails several times, checked facebook and google+ a few times. I do have juice defender running but always have.

Firmware Version: 2.3.4

Baseband: i9000XXJVP

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642 (DarkCore 2.7.3)

Build: FICETO.DEODEXED.XXJVP

Basically it's just starting to become unstable and slowing down a bit.

I'm also having some Gallery issues - sometimes my phone restarts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
Ficeto has recently put out a JVR (2.3.4) base and Darky 10.2 JVQ (2.3.4) has also come out since JVP.

If you don't mind a stark black/white theme juwes 5.2 is also JVQ

I haven't tried any of the recent JVR ROMs or MIUI so I can't comment on them but head to the development section and check them out.

I have also been toying with the idea of CM7 but have never flashed it, reading up about it, it seems battery life while still not as good as most ROMs has certainly come a long way and the only things not working are TV out, FM radio and camera is only partially working but camera apps from the market do. If you are thinking of CM7 I would wait because they are just testing it with GingerBread Bootloaders as they may have fixed the problems relating to the BLs and it may be giving better battery life. It also means that you won't need to downgrade to froyo to flash.

Best advice I can give is just head to the development section and have a browse. It really depends on how much trouble you want to go through and how adventurous you are.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skuzy:
where ar eu guys getting the srjv1 modems from
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
Too be honest I'm only interested in flashing the phone through ODIN and maybe installing a zip file through recovery if I have to. I don't want to go to too much trouble and I'll remain fairly tedious with what I flash too.

Did you revert it because you sold it or because you didn't like it?

I remember I had one of the earlier MIUI ROMs and reverted after an hour because I hated it.

Also, has anyone got a very good modem for MIUI? I'm with 3/Vodafone and I've tried a few and none have been great. Before I changed ROM i was on JVP and it turns out JVP isn't too great on MIUI for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Umm im not 100% sure, seems it has further battery improvements and other tweaks for speed...it 'shouldnt' wipe any of your data/apps but to make sure back them up using the miui backup app...

In terms of modems im on virgin and found the modems great (in terms of signal strength) but I guess it differs from person to person...just try different modems until you find the best one for you.
