Called to Samsung service center PJ. They ask me sent the phone to them verified. Since I running cm7 now and if I wanna return I need to restore back to original state and quite hassle to back up all the stuff out from phone internal memory. I not sure it worth to do it or not... possible as return nothing is fix.

you can restore all apps in one click if you have backed up using titanium backup. it is worth it. just copy the tb backkup folder to your pc.

QUOTE(pikachu01 @ Apr 26 2011, 09:51 PM)
Yes you are right. Gingerbread bootloaders are backward compatible with Froyo's bootloader.

I flashed back 2.2.1 by flashing Speedmod using Odin and then flashing the a full Kitchen wipe ROM onto it, then using nandroid to restore data only.

Works good.

didn't know that. thanks thumbup.gif

And yes, flashing bootloaders one too many times is ill advised. One power outage, accidentally tercabut your USB or just suddenly something happened then your SGS can become expensive paperweight.
*
IMO, having bootloader corrupted is very slim as the bootloader file size is very small - it'll get copied in an instant. You are safer if flashing using a laptop. It's difficult to have the usb cable disconnected accidentally because the connection is fairly strong.

But I agree changing bootloader too many times is unnecessary.

in the apply script only got 2 option.
/sdcard/sgstool/mount_system_rw.q.txt

and

/sdcard/sgstool/mount_system_ro.q.txt

the backup_efs_q.txt is not present

and i already rooted with CWM.  Maybe i miss one step which is install to sd card. but the option is not given after i complete install it.

From where did you download sgstools? Try downloading the one from the first page.

since wiki have an open to all to edit policy, anyone can edit it, so we just make a page, make a table, then ask anyone who want their name in there to edit that page and put it their name.
or another way that i can think is, we create a google document, an excel document maybe, and up it up, anyone can also edit that list.

some how i kinda got the feeling that wiki will be soooo much great, anyone can contribute of filling in those information, it will be like everyone is a TS. we can put in link to thread that sell SGS accessory and anyone can put in links to the latest roms, and reviews.
*
any idea on a good free wiki hosting?

usually games use this wiki page:

example:

Yea, wikia is a very popular one.

So does everyone agree on having a wiki? If yes, what name?

The first page can still serve as its current function. OTOH, the wiki can be a place where everyone can come in and add useful information. Then, it can slowly be added to the first page.

This way, information can be added faster and TS won't get a headache.

I like a name that is more descriptive. Something along with greetgoat's suggestion. it's just that sgs means nothing and expanding it will make it too long.

Tried MIUI and JVK. IMO, both are alpha quality. Went back to froyo. I'll wait for a finished cyanogenmod or official gingerbread rom.

There no more lbstestmode in samsung's gingerbread. So,for those on JVK or JVB gingerbread.

How to invoke AngryGPS:

CODE

adb shell am start -a com.android.angryGps -n com.android.angryGps/.AngryGPS


Tonight is really slow. Everyone following galaxy sII launch? It looks really hot! Review is very promising. Bootloader is confirmed to be unlocked. In fact the firmware (I9100XWKDD) is already uploaded to samfirmware

And number of apps will be more than ios in 5 months time. We know that quality is more important than quantity. But Steve Jobs will have one less thing to gloat about the next iphone5 haha!

also remember that each book is considered as an app. Many 'apps' in ios are not really apps. that's why the number is inflated.

The gingerbread bootloader is backward compatible with froyo. So just flash the froyo CWM zip file. preferably wipe version.

Ok... if you're talking about SGS eco system, it is different from the rest 512MB + move2sd architecture. In fact, we never really care much on where the app is installed.... If you're really interested...

1. All your apps will be installed in /data (After factory reset you will have around 1.8GB)
2. Additional apps files (like game data, GPS map data etc.) will be installed in /sdcard (internal sdcard) (13.5GB)
3. Optional. If need bigger space, you can dump your files (music, video, docs etc..) in /sdcard/external_sd (external sdcard) (From 2GB and upwards)

QUOTE(theWeird_Weird @ Apr 29 2011, 04:41 PM)
ya i mean the AP set. lol. is 8gb enough for games n apps?  tongue.gif
*
I think space for apps & games for 8gb and 16gb are the same, which is 1.8GB. It's just that internal storage for file & media are 13.5GB for 16GB version and maybe 8GB less in 8GB version.

1.8GB is plenty of space. Never needed to move the apps. Kudos to samsung.

Likewise on Android Market ler. So, can't complain.

Owh is it? I only download books from aldiko & laputa only.

Even so, there's many other ways how number of apps in ios is inflated. Not just books.

I see no direct copy against iOS. Neither do touchwiz 3. In fact. TW 3&4 has more functionalities like widgets. Apple has no case.

one thing i'll never understand about samsung @ google @ android itself, why the Nexus S already got the 2.3.4 upcoming OTA updates while galaxy s still stuck with buggy GB? shouldn't they be realizing the facts that Galaxy S is much top-seller than Nexus S? haiyaa

nexus phones are developers phones. They intend to release latest firmwares to developers first before they are released to consumers.

dun know why, suddenly got the urge to trade sgs for nexus s.....

hi, may i know what's a reasonable price for a samsung galaxy s? do you think it's worth waiting for s2?
*
In my opinion,

If you haven't got a smartphone and have big budget, it's worth the wait for galaxy s II.

If you already own a high-end smartphone, you might want to save money for a next gen smartphones.

If you have low budget, go for sgs. It should be less than RM2000. Google and ask the shops around.

1. Make sure your 3 button combo is working (can go to download mode)
2. Backups::
-- Phonebook & email: Synchronise with google.
-- apps and data: can use Titanium Backup (must root)
-- SMS and MMS: can use SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel

After you have done all this, can flash to any deodexed gingerbread rom
