If that's the case, MIUI also will never be available to us

I think
- MIUI from official website is made from official cyanogenmod
- the MIUI from xda is made from MIUI port for our sgs. This happens because there's no finished CM for sgs yet;

Try using any screenshot app first.

If cannot, while connected with adb, can use android sdk to capture screenshot. I did this once as it doesn't need the phone to be rooted. Haven't tried it while playing games but theoritically, it should work.

They'll update to DXJPE which is android 2.2

Later firmwares based on 2.2.1 are much better. One of it is sweethoney rom which I advise to flash into. Refer to first page

His 2.2.1 rom is still there. refer first page.

damiangto didn't comply with gpl licence. Thus, any rom that includes dgto kernel will be taken under investigation. IMO, simone should just dump that kernel.

Owh, you are well versed with odin. You should have no problem flashing to gingerbread then

I may be late but look at these live wallpapers. I just tested them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...693&postcount=1

gpl license is what made linux became successful. Basically, any software that is gpl-licensed, must provide its source code upon request. Those custom kernels are made from the official linux, thus must provide the source code.

Among other gpl-licensed softwares are like firefox, php, mysql, openoffice, gimp, etc. Linux trounces other os in the server market, stock market, supercomputers, and now smartphones. Without gpl license, we would not see such cool innovation like android

Location spoofer app can be moved to /system/app folder and doesn't require "allow mock location" setting to be switched on.

No need to flash back to stock kernel. No cons in flashing to speedmod kernel

there's gtalk app from nexus s ported to our sgs. link at insanity's thread

no need internet for gps lock. it'll take about 5 minutes before location lock. if there's internet connection, locking will be faster.

for maps, can use papago, aura sygic, ndrive, etc. if you are using google maps, need constant internet connection.


yes, go launcher ex is very nice.

512MB of ram. part of it is reserved for the system, thus only about 310MB plus is available to user. If you feel the ram is always on the low side, I recommend using autokiller

some apps will have fc after restoring on gingerbread. solution is to uninstall, and reinstall that app. (using titanium backup)

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Click on your gmail > Remove account

If you do a factory reset, you'll lose all of your downloaded apps. What are you trying to do?

1. Have to be rooted
2. Must make /system folder to be r/w - can use root explorer or sgstools
3. delete using rootexplorer

- No. sgs holds up well against a plethora of dual-core phones. My sgs is a mere 10 months old. Moreover, it is a present from my sister

- I'll wait for at least kal-el quad core. Maybe it can run football manager


Nice to know. Will try cm7 in the weekend.

Noo need to go back to froyo. Just follow the instruction in the thread's first page. flash kernel > initial rom > update

ETA means estimated time of arrival. They'll finish up the rom when it is finished. Don't pester them. They aren't working for salary.

- what rom are you on?
- any chance you were on xxjvk or xxjvb with the new samsung bootloader?

I have no idea how the new xxjvb bootloader will have any effect on the screen colour. You can always revert to froyo bootloader. Just flash zsjpj or ezbase rom to get it back.

There's an in-built software in windows 7 that can turn your laptop into a mobile hotspot. Then connect your phone to your laptop via wifi to get internet.

Besides games, applestore and android market are similar. The number of apps in android market will surpass applestore in 5 months. So both will have more and more useful apps as well as crappy apps.

Added on May 5, 2011, 3:43 pm3g is a battery hog. If you put gsm mode only instead of hsm/wcdma, you'll get improved battery life. But you'll only get edge speed. No idea about widget to easily switch that.

In my experience, wifi uses much less battery than 3g.

About the software update, refer first page. You need to delete the 3 apps in /system/app folder

Added on May 5, 2011, 3:53 pmIphone4 battery is 1430mAh. It has smaller screen but has full os hardware acceleration that contributes to good battrry life. Sgs has bigger screen with partial hardware acceleration.
Unfortunately iphone4 uses insane resolution that brings its battery life to sgs lvl.

As I use froyo custom rom and kernel, the battery life is much better than the stock firmware.

I've put some tips on how to deal with battery in the first page. I use Batteryfu app as well.

As I mentioned, 3g is a battery hog. I'd like to know of a widget that can switch gsm and wcdma too.

Also, please do not use task killer. Killed apps can reopened, thus poor battery life. Android has in-built memory management. Use apps like autokiller or minfreemanager.

If you are a fan of miui, remember that is made from cyanogenmod

Give them some more time to make cm7 compatible with our sgs.

Btw, I am planning on flashing to cm7 this weekend. I just need to find my usb cable

IIRC,
Ezbase 2.0 is froyo
Ezbase 3.0 is gingerbread.

Not sure if froyo bootloader is ccompulsory for cm7
