Hi Fornaxlife,

hey! yup v72 still  biggrin.gif

insanity is smooth, but i dont like the modified icons  sweat.gif

good luck on flashing! haha

I'm on V75 already...restoring apps now...

Happy with it so far....

Insanity is smooth because it has omitted a lot of apps.....slim and smooth...it will suit a certain category of users....
After I use Nitrality to install back more apps.... I found that the speed slowed down a bit...but hand gatal to flash...so went back to Criskelo...

While I was on Insanity, I was introduced to a nice app called Quickpic. To me, it is better than Gallery 3D. After caching for 1st time, the subsequent opening of photos album were very quick....

oh man..simply ROM newest version 3.0 RC2 (2.3.3 JVK)
and it says i have to update to stock 2.3.3 first before updating Simply ROM..which im kinda reluctant to do..since most of u guys who tested it are saying that its not compatible with most apps yet

or are these custom roms compatible with those apps already?
*
That is also the reason why I'm still flashing Froyo 2.2.1 custom roms at the moment.
Will wait for JVK source code to be out first before I try flashing Gingerbread....

Edit:

When you run the diagnostic test. There is some sort of graphic which looks like a compass. There is a sentence "Need for calibration" inside the circle rite? To calibrate that, just move ur phone in "8" figure movement and a complete horizontal roll. It will take about 2 or 3 complete roll and "8" to calibrate that.
*
Hi bro,

Need your help. I did the above test. I have the "Need for Calibration" with the number 1.
I don't know how to calibrate with the 8 movement thing.

Hope you can explain a bit more.

1) Should I hold the phone horizontally or vertically?
2) is the "8" movement clockwise or anti-clockwise?
3) should it be a big 8 movement or small one?
4) fast or slowly?
5) what do you mean by complete horizontal roll?

Thanks so much.... Hopefully, TS can put your guide on 1st page....

I've done differently than Harddisk and Zumapuma. Instead of "8", mine is in three steps. Hard to explain in words but I try and hope you can understand....

1. Phone in portrait position with screen facing you. Do a complete circle in 90 degree steps clockwise.
2. Phone in portrait position with screen facing you. Flip the phone backward (on x-axis) you will see the rear cover then flip again.
3. Phone in landscape position with screen facing you. Flip the phone backward (on x-axis) you will see the rear cover then flip again.
*
Guess what...I tried your method and I got the number 3 on the test compass...haha

Thanks bro...

correct. why can't anyone suggest me the best ROM already sleep.gif

Ya,because there is no such thing as perfect Rom...

Check out XDA forum, there are many for you to choose:

1) Doc's
2) Darky
3) Simply Galaxy
4) Insanity
5) Criskelo
etc...

each got pros and cons....like jujx said, trying flashing some of them and test it for yourself....enjoy flashing....

Once you have more courage, you can try the Gingerbread rom like XXJVK and MIUI...

Have fun

guys..wanna ask...what the stable 2.2.1 rom out there...kinda feel like to install insanity...

one more thing..i feel like to format my internal SD...format it in CWM right?...
too much files and folder in it...i want to start fresh again...

p/s : not going to worry to backup contacts because i transferred it all to google...yeay...
*
Hi, as for 2.2.1 Rom, you can try out Insanity 7.1 or Criskelo v75 ROM.
If not, the standard ones that most people flashes are Doc's or Darky's ROM.

Yes, you can format Internal SD card in CWM. I have done it twice already....feels nice to start afresh.

If you are not concern about any backup of apps, contacts, sms etc, then no issue....if yes, you should backup the files to your external SD card or PC. If you are using MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup, make sure the backup folder is not in Internal SD card.

Have fun flashing...

thanks erymanthus...already back to simply 2.7...hehehe...because right now i'm only have this rom...would like to test those 2 rom..but right now..my internet connection is like S***...hahaha

edit : for those who want to revert back from 2.3...please flash stock 2.2 rom first..do not directly flash 2.2.1 from 2.3 via CWM...you will encounter boot loop...
*
Hi Bap3, you are welcome.

Thanks for your tip...i was also wondering if I flash to 2.3.3, how do I flash back to 2.2.1 safely...haha...I was tempted to flash to MIUI 2.3.3 to test test play play, but might need to flash back to a fully working 2.2.1...

Btw, which stock 2.2 you flashed back to? DXJPE?

I used to be on Simply Galaxy 2.7XE...I hated the Swype keyboard as well....I went to Insanity ROM thread 1st page and downloaded the Swype apk from there....and have successfully installed it to my Simply Galaxy 2.7XE....no problem with FC, and the Swype from Insanity is so much better looking that the Simply Galaxy one....

i've already downloaded the swype apk from insanity, then how do i install it to my phone?
do i just copy it to my system/app folder and replace the old Swype?
or do i open the insanity swype apk and install it?
*
Is the file in .zip?
If yes, use CWM recovery and install it as a zip file...sorry I forgot....played with too many custom roms already. Any instructions from insanity thread itself.

If .apk, just try to click on it to install?

I just checked, the swype file I downloaded is in .zip. So use CWM recovery to flash as zip file.

I got it from Insanity 1st page. Look for Swype 2.29 Full.
It's about 10.1Mb.

Good morning everyone.

So, any Gingerbread source code out today?

What is taking Samsung so long???

Nexus S is already running on Gingerbread officially, right?

morning ermanthus..an early bird are you?...wait patiently for GB....if not you'll become angry birds..haha  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

IMHO nexus S is google phones...google made all the source code for it's OS..meanwhile for our phone,samsung need to compile all the source code and rectified it's problem based on leaked software...hehe...from my observation from the previous exp with leaked FW
*
Yup, I'm waiting patiently for GB.......however, I might try to flash to MIUI to play play if got time....if don't like, can flash back to 2.2.1 until source code for GB is officially released...

In the mean time, still with Criskelo Rom......btw, I will download MIUI rom today sweat.gif
