TPG has unlimited internet and is probably the cheapest. I don't know if they're any decent in Brisbane though.

Keep in mind that although we have bandwidth limits the download quotas are generally quite reasonable (with most ISPs). So as long as you go with a decent provider and don't pick the cheapest plan you'll probably be fine. Also most ISPs provide certain services as not counting towards your quota. Some just have their own download mirrors but sometimes it's more exotic, for example iiNet doesn't count certain Xbox Live data.

I have recently flashed darkys gingerbread 8.0 latest with horozontal battery mod. Best rom I've seen so far and I've flashed quite a bit of roms! smooth with spare parts. have voodoo but I havn't enabled it. it works smooth as butter. check the link:

Peace with In
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thisisludachris:
I went for it and got Darky's 9.2 on my stock Telstra 2.1 and all seems fine ...so far :) Guess I'll know in a few days/weeks if something isn't right.

Model: GT-I9000

Firmware version: 2.2.1

Baseband: I9000XXJPY

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 curio@carton # Voodoo_stable_5.4.1

Happy camper!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
OK guys, getting stuffed here.

Got my phone today, rooted it OK, then installed darkys rom, found it a bit too full of stuff, I prefer less :)

So I went to the romkitchen and built me a rom as suggested here, but I think something went poop...

ROM is good. all things work, but I cannot get back to clockworkmod, I get the multi colour thing and it says "E-failed to verify"

What is the difference between 2e and 3e? and should clockworkmod stick and not vanish?

be gentle I come from the htc camp, had to send it back to vodafial today :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Sounds like you've corrupted something

Try doing a clean install from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926399
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Took me a few weeks to get my head around the HTC way of doing things, but boy is this one different.

I looked and nothing is that clear :(

It seems hit and miss getting into the clockworkmod screen, is this normal, and yes I am pressing the right keys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Hmm, try hitting up irc, it will be easier to help you there. If you don't have an irc client just follow the link on the rom kitchen site for a web client. I'm usually on in the evening and will be able to guide you through anything you don't get :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bluephantom3:
2e was the first type of recovery screen and 3e is its replacement on a firmware upgrade to Froyo but it has limitations so you can't just flash update.zip in it and get it to work like on 2e. Though ClockworkMOD does work and once your in that you can do anything.

I found Darky's ROM too much too so what i did after many attempts of other ROMS was use Darky's Resurrection and flashed with Odin to get his clean install without the extras but it comes with 4 lockscreens and bonus shutdown options menu and then I just changed the themes and bootscreen to my own choice. Also before I flashed it I modified his base firmware to use Virgin's stock Modem and CSC.

It works great. and haven't had any problems with it like force closures or things just not working like i did with some of the other ROMS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Thanks for that, but any idea why cwm doesn't stick? I use rom manager and do the install and I maybe see it once, then when I use the option to boot into recovery, it goes to 3e :(

I will look at that rom combo, just flashed my own from the romkitchen with the Androdena theme and VERY happy with that, colour menus, transparent drop down menu, colour icons, very nice.

I have not done any lagfixes yet as I need to understand the basics for the SGS, was pretty handy with the DHD, but this one is catching me out.

How do you add your own mods to the rom? Virgins stock modem etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Virgins csc is xsa, but virgins stock modem dtjp4 is crap. I recommend either zsjpe, xxjpy or ugjl2. They all are much better than the aussie modem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bluephantom3:
Are they? and in what way are they better? I used XXjpy before and it drained my battery alot worse than dtjp4. and ugjl2 is one I put on my mates because it can use the Telstra NextG frequency.

I've tried a few others but always went back to the virgin stock as it seems very good on the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bluephantom3:
honestly I've found that it doesn't stick sometimes as well but if you have installed a kernel that has it combined like Voodoo or speedmod it will stick everytime you go to recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mingo3k:
I've personally never had an issue with my Galaxy S.

After my first flash of CWM (had to get it into download as mine didn't have recovery out of the box) and then flash in to the Doc ROMS, I've never had an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
OK, so which kernel are you using?

I figured out that some of them, use their own versions of CWM, add a few options etc, and if I try flash from my Rom Manger, then I fck em up :eek:

Currently using latest SpeedMod, this allows setting of lagfix, but TBH I see no speed issues (yet)

Have been watching the vids on how to build your own rom for the SGS, will be giving that a try in the near future.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
Thanks guys. Really apresiated the help. Ive just come to the android os and have no idea what im doing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lord_Lucifer_666:
quick question for u guys...have had My cooked rom on My phone for about a week now...then today I turned it on and the wallpaper no longer scrolls along with the screens .... just locked in place...I only have touchwiz installed...dont have any other launcher....and for the life of Me I cant seem to get it back to scrolling again ...wont even let Me select full pic when picking wallpapers ...only enough for one screen ... any idea how to get the scrolling back ?

*EDIT*

never mind ...I figured it out lol ... when you select change wallpaper, and then go to gallery ...once you pick a wallpaper there are 2 almost invisible boxes below the picture...one is for scrolling wallpaper...the other is for scrolling icons .... hope this helps if any one else misses it like I did lol

Just putting an update on what i have been doing testing on my SGS.

all tests were repeated and this is the averages. all tested from the exact same spot on full charge.

then tried the new sweethoney. damn smooth..... but got bored tried some older aussie roms. (and tried to kies update from them both with no luck) the roms where.

DTJG4 rom (eclair 2.1 optus branded rom) and DTJP5(froyo). they ran pretty smooth but what i had to note they did get higher signal stats in the stats. got bored with them so five minutes later put on miui rc8vc (now in stable stage).

aside from the craped up screen on start up up and running smooth. love the effects. light on the eyes. straight off the bat getting 1400s quadrant score.

Problems my external 16gb card no longer showing up at all..... the menu's arent laggy as mutch as likes its running at a low fps. not smooth. esp in settings.

Browser is smooth and keyboard aswell.

camera sux :-(

yet to try the audio as my music was on my external sd that no longer shows up. might try Cyanogen mod next.

last thoughts i did the miui update as per instructuions from froyo, but no where in the process was there a bootloader update. could that be causing the problems like the glitchy start grfx?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Well considering you have a 2.3 bootloader this is why you might be having troubles...I recommend using EZOdin to flash EZROM...also recommend to flash the newest MIUI, MGv2

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Psykar:
I've been trying out Cyanogen Mod 7 the past few days, and have I've been trying to get MMS working on it.

Cyanogen seems to have some slightly different options under the MMS settings.

I've used the MMS settings from here:

http://ausdroid.net/apns/#optus

Which have worked previously, the only different bit is the 'APN protocol' which Cyanogen gives options of 'IPv4, IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6' and the APN type is actually a typed field - ie you have to type in 'mms'

Anyone had success with MMS on cyanogen? What settings did you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
hi again

so ive made my custom rom in rom kitchen,

now i dont know how to install it, ive been reading the thread and the word bootloader keeps coming up. is this the app i need?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
In fact does ANYONE actually have a working MMS?

I am on virgin and before that vodafail and I have NEVER managed to get what I would call a working MMS, as in being able to send a small pic to someone, tried all sorts of settings and please DON'T send me to the usual apn page on ausdroid or whatever it is, the settings do NOT match what the phone asks for, so it gets rather pointless :(

Here is hoping...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Noooo haha don't worry bout bootloaders for the moment...first of all what firmware version are you on at the moment? If 2.2 that's good, READ ON ;)

Now, to install the rom you need to install a custom kernel...you need to use a program on your PC called Odin (see link below). Your phone must also be able to access Download Mode (when phone is off, hold volume down, home button and power) and recovery mode (same except use volume up instead of down). It would be best if you also place the rom on your phones sdcard.

Now, I recommend you download Speedmod Kernel (see link below). Open up Odin. Now press on the PDA tab and select the Speedmod Kernel (.tar). Make sure auto-reboot is unticked (do NOT press/change anything else). Put your phone into Download Mode (see above). Now connect your phone to your PC with USB. Wait for Odin to say 'Added' in the dialogue box (you'll also see above the box changes yellow). Press start and wait for the box to turn green and for the dialogue box to say 'successful'. Unplug phone, take battery out, put back in. While phone is off, enter recovery mode (see above), navigate using volume up and down and select using the power button. Go to select zip from sdcard (not to be confused with install update.zip). Now go to choose zip, and direct to the rom which you earlier placed on your phone. Wait......your phone will reboot and DONE !!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Hmmm someone might have to confirm here but I don't think cooked roms have bootloaders in them...which for you will create problems nd that's a whole other story :/ (because your phone at the moment probably has 2.2 bootloader, to use 2.3 roms you need a 2.3 bootloader)...I can explain it to you want but yeah see the following thread for more info, see JVH with bootloaders section....(1st post)...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901

Involves flashing through Odin, not difficult just give us a yell if your unsure.

Once you've done that you can resume from my previous post with installing the rom...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
i copied it cause i dont ave a zip unziper on my mac and i wanted to have a look what the files looked like. i didnt edit them. so i followed your instructions, i installed odin, put it in download mode, it found my phone, i pressed start, then the box turned green. unpluged my phone, pulled the battery out, put it into recovery mode, it couldnt find the zip file on the sd card. then i tried to turn it on to make sure that the rom was there but it wont boot, i waited a minute and it stayed on the sgs opening screen.

and i checked, the sdcard does have the rom on it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Ok, if its on the sdcard (in the zip file) you should be able to find it in recovery and flash it...is it on the phones SD card or the external sdcard? Also when you go to recovery, is the menu green?

Also NOTE after flashing a kernel or installing a rom it will take a few minutes to boot, you only have a problem if the phone bootloops (restarts itself) and vibrates randomly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
So don't know if they all sold or eBay found it was fake, the auction has ended... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
Try putting it on the internal SD
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Ok so speedmod kernel was flashed successfully..

So that's a start...since its on external SD, you need to navigate to that, when you choose >choose install zip, you need to go to /external_sd and should find the rom where ever it is on the card...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
its says no files found wenever i press it

I *have* got MMS working previously on all stock rom's I've tried. I'm on Optus however.

The settings on ausdroid do match the settings on stock APN - you need to separate entries, one with only the parts for internet filled in, and another entry with only the parts for MMS filled in (ie leave proxy blank, only fill in MMS proxy)

It seems Cyanogen 7 settings are slightly different though as I mentioned, specifically it lets you type in a few settings which on stock are simply multiple choice menus, I'm not sure if that's why I'm having issues though... I received the MMS subject line, it's just the picture itself that won't download.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Maybe you can try this.

All of the sections that have no required values, fill in "Not Set" (No quotes on entry)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
help!!!!!!!

if you have been reading the thread last night i tried to flash my sgs ith a custom rom. fter doing odin correctly i went into recovery to find the rom, i did some stuff and eventualy found the rom, it wont instal as it says bad wenever i try to install it.

but thats not the problem, now phone wont start at all. its not boot loopin but just stays on the first screen where it says galaxy gti9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
What were you flashing? I had the same sort of thing happen to me yesterday using a rom kitchen rom. It installed, but didn't go past that first screen either.

Back to odin and flash a stock again. Then flash the modded kernel again for cwm access.

If the rom was a kitchen rom, I would generate a new one and try again. For me, every JVH wipe rom I generated wouldn't boot. But when I generated a no-wipe rom it worked first go.

If it was a different rom, download it fresh again and put it on your phone again. Then try it again. Otherwise give a different rom a try.

Assuming you've got download mode, you're far from in trouble. I had to re-flash with odin 4 times yesterday till I got it worked out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
Yeh same. I used odin 5 times and finnaly the rom installed. It took 1 min to boot and after watching the little android piss on the apple i was happy again to be using android.

2.2.1 is so much faster than eclair
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Yes, what goughymachine ssaid is correct...sometimes things don't work out, but as long as you have access to download mode everything will be fine (if not download jigs can be used but that's another story)...read my PM regarding EZOdin...it has the forum link with details on what to do and IMO the easiest, otherwise you can goto Samfirmware.com and download the stock firmware of your choice and flash through Odin.

I know what's happened with you may seem shocking but trust me and goughtmachine, it is close to impossible to break your phone doing stuff like this...with recovery and download mode they are our saviours ;)

You've just hit a road bump, things happen, but it is rather simple to fix, and once you've fixed it, moved to stock, for you probably any 2.2.1 (why I recommend EZOdin) you will have a completely new phone that feels completely different (in a good way).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
YaY!!!! :D so happy, I was beginning to feel guilty. Scratch my previous comment then hehe.

And wait till you try 2.3.3....that's even faster. :O haha maybe another day, nah that's the same process, flash through Odin and done.

But enjoy 2.2.1 :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dzek90:
I have recently flashed to stock JVH and can't seem to get any APN settings to work. I have tried to restore the settings with 'APN Backup and Restore' (which has worked for me before) but this no longer works.

Everything else seems to be working fine. Anyone else have a similar problem or know a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] droidlab7:
Had the similar issue. This is how I solved it;

Created a new APN

Gave a name (something) and entered the APN (yesinternet)

Didn't change anything else, went back so that the APN is saved

Edited the one I just created according to ausdroid site, entered everything except MNC (left it with default value).

Pressed back button, the APN was still there.

I have been with this for more than a week now, with 2 kernel flashes and some theme flashes. No problem at all.

I hope this helps.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Madalbert:
I had the same issue, drove me nuts for a week, I traced it down to a bug in the telephony driver which was trying to register 505029 instead of 50502. My solution for now was to use apn manager and edit the virgin entry MNC to be 029,, saved and rebooted and the apn info appeared. I guess they'll fix that in the next release.

If it works use apn manager to back it up as you may need it again after a reflash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Just wondering if any of you guys have tried cm7 yet? Just wondering how well it works over here and if it's worth trying? I already use go launcher with my own icons etc and don't use touchwiz at all. I like fiddling about with it so is it worth the effort of trying? I haven't read much yet (will over the next day or so) but it seems to be pretty customisable 'out of the box'. The one thing I am wondering about is the crt off animation thingy. I had a custom rom that included that and it bugged the s... out of me, and I wonder if that can be turned off. It bugged me enough that that alone would be something that would stop me from trying it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Yeah CM7 is very good, very fast, battery drains a little faster than normal but very impressive. If you use GO Launcher, like myself, I would recommend it over MIUI (if you were considering it)

In terms of the CRT off animation, this can be toggled off on both CM7 and custom roms (if you set animations to off). I think can't remember though, you may be able to have animations on, but turn off CRT-off animation manually...there is a lot of possible customising in CM7 to suit your wants :) Just make sure you read the instructions..on the first page, a video is also included, important: make sure your on a froyo bootloader.

here is a guide i used, follow it exactly and should all work, yes it says MIUI, but it is the same process with installing CM7. Just download the cm7-initial rom instead of the miui-initial rom.
