speedmod of course. But to get back to stock, you need to flash the whole rom using odin.

Congratulations on your purchase!

Many methods:
1. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Networks > Uncheck "Use packet data"
2. Use APNDroid. Add as a widget. Can easily switch on/off
3. Hold power button. A menu will popup. Tap on "Data Network mode. If it is written "Data network mode deacticated", data is off. <-- This is the quickest way.

Thanks for reminding. Option (2), using APNdroid app will achieve what he wants without disabling MMS.

Both option 1 and 3 will disable MMS

It should work. When switched on (data off) the app will append you APN settings with "apndroid"

say that your APN is : APN = unet
it'll turn into APN = unetapndroid, which switched off data.

Those who has problems with sweethoney 2.5 can try flashing speedmod kernel.

I felt the dead sleep is kernel related too. Switching to speedmod may resolve the issue.

I'm not a big proponent of using ext2 as the filesystem. Ext4 is better in a lot of ways. About ext4 wear level, need to confirm with hardcore first because I vaguely remember that he made modifications to it so that there will be less data read/write.

Ext2 is of course, will give higher quadrant score. But everyone knows that score means little on our hummingbird chip right?

android market replacement? Good, I'm sick of the slow android market.


should be 2e recovery mode, not 3e. If you still can enter download mode, you should be fine. Just flash stock froyo rom. Link in first page.


Any idea how a kernel can affect restored apps?

Certainly can update especially for a popular phone like galaxy s. Latest update is froyo 2.2
gingerbread is very likely coming to this phone as we already have a leaked gingerbread rom recently.

Will try it

No. only your battery life span will shorten.

there are alot of sifus here to help. Don't worry!

Hi, welcome to the forum! Have you checked first post regarding mms settings?

As long as you can enter download mode, you won't get a bricked phone. Only a corrupted bootloader bricks a phone. Not even odin can save it.

- Samsung had a bad track record at updating their phones. but things seem to change starting from galaxy s.
- camera quality is fine for quick snapshots. Although not at par with pns camera. Can read reviews to see sample photos.
- mobile ap is where you can turn your phone as a wifi hotspot. other laptops and phones can use your 3g connection.

Great idea. but I need that info from you guys because I don't buy mine in malaysia. Please post/pm me.

Added on March 12, 2011, 9:20 pmIf you mean enter button as the centre home button, yes. Darkyy rom might have some stubborn files that refuse to be removed. Which is why simone recommended to use odin first.

- sgs got a really beautiful super amoled screen. you need to see in person to see how beautiful it is. dhd has a slightly bigger screen but at the same resolution as sgs, thus lower dpi. if you got big hands, no problem handling dhd
- sgs has plastic body, unlike dhd. you might feel sgs feels cheap.
- however, sgs has gorilla glass which is scratch resistant. I put both my keys and sgs in the same pocket everyday for 7 months. still no single scratch. dhd doesn't have gorilla glass but i'm sure it is scratch resistant as well, just not gorilla glass.
- out of the box, sgs lags badly after one week of use. updating to stock 2.2.1 or even better, flashing to custom rom almost eliminates all lagginess.
- don't look at the megapixel numbers. Bigger resolution doesn't equate better picture quality. dhd has dual led flash while sgs doesn't have led at all. better to read reviews for photo quality. to me, they are just fine.
- don't go for dell streak, really!

There's android phone recommendation thread. You might want to ask there and based on your budget, can choose which phone suits you.

Weird indeed. simone gave a warning about the bootloop

btw, i've finished downloading juwe's. waiting full charge now.

3G is a battery hog unfortunately. There are apps (like battery-fu that can switch on data every 30 minutes and stay for 3 minutes. However I find the app can be buggy at times.

I am now on Juwe's rom. not impressed. going back to insanity rom

brut maps is excellent. I love the voice turn-by-turn navigation! No issues at all. Only that it is based on older google maps version.

can replace google maps in /system/app folder to install. to uninstall, just delete brutmaps apk in that folder.

installing both google maps and brut maps side by side gave me some issues because the phone confuses which one to open, the official one or brut maps. Thus I use rootexplorer to replace the apk whenever I need one of them.

From "package Name Changing" subheading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Since I already have root, I just replace the GM with brut maps.

Finished exam today. Got alot to respond 0.O'

Guys, I need info on what's in the phone package. Can add to first post.

One more thing, can just rename the Maps.apk to Maps.apk.bak for easy uninstallation. brut maps worked nicely for me when I use the "-brut" version

It has delivery report. In addition to that, I use an app called SMS timestamper. All incoming sms will be saved with the time the sender sends to me, not when I receive it.

Good guide, added to first post.

For important files, make sure you make regular backup to your computer, or copy them into the cloud such as dropbox

Odin.

Cordy works fine for me.

If you have followed all steps in the first page, maybe the gps went kaput already

Nice find! Added to first post


- Go to Settings > Applications > manage Applications > All > Wait till finish loading and click on Market
- Clear data and then click force stop.
- Re-open Market. All your apps will reappear.


Dissapointed. I posted my quick review at the rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...8&postcount=381


- Bad news: It does lag, after one week of use. The latest froyo (2.2.1) reduced this problem but unfortunatelyit hasn't officially come to our region. We expect gingerbread update for galaxy s in April/May.
- Good news: There are plenty good custom kernels and custom roms and fixed the lags and make the phone really smooth. You need courage to mod the phone though

- IMO, better flash to stock rom and send for repair. Next time handle your expensive phone with care.

Added on March 15, 2011, 12:42 amSome more apps to increase battery life

1. Tasker
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.d...e=search_result
Well known. Paid app. Simple to use

2. Superpower
https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.mo...e=search_result
Maybe not a lot of people knows. Has both free and paid version.

Can choose not to root. You'll get root that comes with cutom rom.

However, if you are rooted first:
1. you will get to use titanium backup that can back up your apps and data. After flashing to custom rom, you will be able to restore them.
2. Can backup /efs folder to preserve your IMEI number

A lot of people uses superoneclick. If you feel uncomfortable, there's always z4root by trusted member, Ryanza.

TB sometimes have this kind of problem. Try updating to the latest version and retry.


- Traditionally, we use kies registry hack to spoof product code: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
- Upon searching I found out about an app that can do the same spoofing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806

1.Any file managers including MyFiles can be used
2. To flash these zip files, need to go to recovery mode.
- If from stock eclair: Has inbuilt samsung's 2e recovery. So need to rename to update.zip first using MyFiles
- If from 3e recovery, need
i. to download clockworkmod (CWM) recovery in order to be able to flash all those custom roms
ii. or flash speedmod kernel because it'll give CWM as well.
- If from custom rom or custom kernel, they usually already have CWM included.

To Flash:
A. If from stock eclair.
- Go to recovery mode - refer first page
- You'll have a blue interface
- Use volume rocker for up and down, home button to select
- apply sdcard:update.zip

B. If from CWM.
- Go to recovery mode - refer first page
- You'll have a green interface.
- Use volume rocker for up and down, back button to select
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Browse to your zip file and press back button to select
- Confirm the flash.
- Reboot

- It is recommended to get CWM because you do not need to rename downloaded custom rom to update.zip. To get CWM, download it.
- Copy it to your sdcard
- Go to recovery mode
- Select "apply sdcard:update.zip"
- You'll need to do this twice before you get into CWM.

3. Don't know about market enabler. But I can see papago Ad, x5(hongkong,indon,china,thai)

Thanks! Seems like indian package includes a leather-like puch but without kies cd. Added to first page

1. TBH, I am not really sure. I am only on EDGE. so I set it to GSM only.

2. I think you are correct.

3. Yup, at EDGE speed.

If you are only using edge, better set it to GSM only so that the phone does not waste battery searching for WCDMA signal.
