Don't use your phone as clock etc. Screen will have burn in mark.

You are right. One of the downside of led technology. BTW, I'm now editing some more diagram to help beginners to flash custom rom. Hopefully it will be more simplified.

/* OT: Suddenly got lots replies. tomorrow holiday is it? */

Samsung Galaxy Plus coming next month!!!

oh what do u mean, like always check the time using your phone? i always do this.

will tell u the result bro.. just install less than an hour ago

meaning that don't use the the phone + dock as your table watch.. am I right?

Not check time. As wall clock using dock.

how to connect this phone to ad-hoc network???
can connect using froyo....
but when using gingerbread cant connect....

what method did u use? the one changing the wpa supplicant?

what do you mean by ad-hoc network? Wifi router?

its from your laptop wireless connection. seems like we can connect our sgs to ad-hoc internet connection via laptop. i never try this before, but some ppl out there test and it works.

Okay, i'll try your method. I tried installing them, no wonder cannot lah.

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 charged too.

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

2. backup /efs folder. This is to preserve your IMEI number. Once backed up, copy it to safe place like your computer. You need to have a rooted device. If you haven't rooted it, follow the instruction in #3 (installing speedmod kernel). Installing that kernel will give you root access and you can now follow the efs backup procedure.


(2)
This means you are either still on eclair (2.1) or froyo. You have not altered your phone by odin yet. Proceed to the next step.

(3)
- Follow this excellent guide http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010...to-install.html
- Installing this speedmod kernel will automatically give you clockworkmod (CWM) recovery. This will allow flashing zip files such as the sweethoney rom.

(4)
- If you have flashed XXJVK rom and used the updated bootloader, you need to downgrade the bootloader first
- Just download any firmware that has "Sbl.bin" in it to downgrade the bootloader. For example, ZSJPJ rom has the file. I have tested this rom and it works. http://hotfile.com/dl/110924408/c576fa2/I9000ZSJPJ.rar.html (Extract the file. Password is "samfirmware.com")
- Whether you are on XXJVK, cyanogenmod7 or MIUI, you must flash back to stock froyo rom.

(5)
- Follow this excellent guide: http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2011...tall-froyo.html
- This will give an official stock firmware.

(6)
- Go to the sweethoney rom page
- Download either wipe or non-wipe version and store it into your sdcard
-- choose wipe version if you are installing for the first time
-- choose non-wipe of you are upgrading from the same sweethoney rom
- 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
- Wipe Dalvik and Wipe Cache
- Reboot.
- Done. Enjoy your new custom rom!



- I chose sweethoney because it is fast (JPJ based) and has beautiful theme. It'll surely appeal to beginners.
- I chose speedmod kernel to root as we know it is a surefire way to successfully root a device. z4root or superoneclick may be easier but we already have a reliable means of rooting - speedmod kernel.
- Comments please. anything I should add/remove? Or I am totally wrong

Edit: i forgot to add backup instruction

-Hold on to your horses! Have you made a backup?
-- Phonebook & email: Synchronise with google.
-- apps and data: can use Titanium Backup
-- SMS and MMS: can use SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel

- Ok now you can continue
- Go to the sweethoney rom page
- Download either wipe or non-wipe version and store it into your sdcard
-- choose wipe version if you are installing for the first time
-- choose non-wipe of you are upgrading from the same sweethoney rom
- 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
- Wipe Dalvik and Wipe Cache
- Reboot.
- Done. Enjoy your new custom rom!

wow.. i think its an impressive guide for anyone who is new to Android (read Galaxy S) and also reference for experiance user
great job gmhafiz

I read you sig. Can I add your guide to first page? It'd be useful reminder who wanted to customize their rom before flashing. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=38621037

Should pin this to the first page...

Nice lesson.

Wonderful~
