Erm, guys,

is there anyway to set a wallpaper if I'm using only one homescreen without using any third party apps?

480x800 pixel doesn't work, it forces me to crop it.

I searched around the Web, people are suggesting 960x800 pixel, doesn't work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Solved, 960x800 pixel does work. 

Overclocked sounds great. But I'm more conservative. Hehe.
I just wonder is there any benefit for choosing Damian kernel if I don't do OC or UV?
Can I install all voodoo, speedmod, and Damian kernel and changed them whenever I like in the recovery mode?

thanx everyone!

im a little skeptical with KIES cuz before this, I had a Samsung Wave and once, i updated it and the phone was bricked..had to go to all the way to Sunway Pyramid Samsung Service Center which has terrible service IMO..

anyway, if i update, all my apps will be retained right? its not like a factory reset or anything right?

sorry peeps for being such a total noob XD

Last week, I just update to froyo using kies. Just 10 minutes than i got froyo without any data and app deleted.

But i feel lagging sometimes. Then try rooting using z4root and fix lagging. My false maybe, coz i choose temporary root, unroot after reboot. After reboot, my phone can't be start. Then i try install 3 combo buttons using adb. But the phone just like hanging without any progress after 2 minutes. The guide said, it just 3 seconds installation. So, i do pull out the battery and reboot the phone. Yeayy.. My phone bricked!

Then, i go to restore at customer service. They install froyo, but it not same like the update from samsung kies. No lagging problem like before.

Since the second post is still confusing, this is my attempt at a more complete guide for newbies. A pictorial diagram should be more easy to understand. Please comment and msg me for any mistake.

I have a question. If from stock 2.2 froyo is it compulsory to use odin as recommended by hardcore? Or just use CWM? (of course must rename speedmod kernel zip file to update.zip since that's the limitation of 3e recovery)



1.
What to do before Flashing
Remember that flashing is a dangerous process, be it official means using kies, odin or CWM. It is preferable to use a laptop to prevent soft brick in case of a sudden power cut during flashing. Make sure your phone is fully charges too.

1. Make sure you have 3 button combo working (download and recovery mode). If it isn't, go here for the fix.

2. backup /efs folder. This is to preserve your IMEI number.


3. Backup
- Phonebook & email: Sync with google.
- apps and data: can use Titanium Backup
- SMS and MMS: can use SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel

2.
Go to recovery mode. How?
1. Shutdown your phone.
2. Hold volume up, home and power button simultaneously until the screen lit up.
3. Wait till you arrive to the recovery mode.

You'll see whether you have 2e or 3e mode at the top.

4.
- Flashing speedmod kernel will give you 2e recovery mode.
- Follow this link for instruction to install speedmod kernel.

3.
- Go to the sweethoney rom page
- Download either wipe or non-wipe version and store it into your sdcard
- Go to recovery mode. Choose "install zip file from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard". Navigate using volume rocker to your file. Use back button to select.
- Confirm the selection.
- Wait for a few minutes and you'll automatically reboot.
- Done. Enjoy your new custom rom!

can anybody help me? im trying to flash to the sweethoney rom
i've done everything on the instructions and have already downloaded the sweethoney zip file
to where do i copy it in my phone?
i've tried pasting it in my internal sdcard, and then used recovery mode
wanted to Choose "install zip file from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard"
but couldnt find the zipfile..

help is much appreciated! thanx!
