Jz flashed to Ramad Deodexed XXJVO, then speedmod K15G-T9.
Tried to enter recovery, by power + vol up + home, but it stuck at 1st start up page (Galaxy S.. GT-I9000)
Wonder how come i can't enter recovery now... Anyone of you can give suggestion?
Was move from froyo (Doc). Phone have 3-button working from start
did you use odin to flash to stock gingerbread before ramad's deodexed xxjvo? because you need to have gingerbread bootloader,

my kies cant detect my galaxy s now....
from samfirmware which 1 should i choose? which 1 is the original firmware comes with maxis?
for south east asia, DXJPE (2.2). If you don't need to send in for warranty, just flash the latest one, either europe of asia. They are way much better.

I am kind of tired with my SGS after a month. For me Samsung phones is pretty shitty.
I was having dinner with a few friends just now and was trying to open map to show a friend some location but then the the phone crash. Just hang for no reason. Then I reboot only to have the Launcherpro Plus crashing and I have to reboot again.
The other day I was with my wife and 2 friends having lunch at Kinky Fat Chef Kitchen and there was an offer that if four friends were to check in with Foursquare, we would get free french fries. 2 of my friends are using iphone 4 and my wife is using iPad. They all manage to login to foursquare and check-in while my SGS were having shit load of problems with gps and cannot find the location. I have to go outside under the hot sun to get a gps lock just to check in with foursquare.
I think I have learn my lesson for not sticking with iphone. I thought it would be great to be able to customise my phones to my hearts content, but all those customisation is only to make the phone look prettier. But when it comes to actual usage, the iphone is simply better. No lag, no unnecessary battery drain by OS, no gps problem, no crash, and most important of all its got tons great apps.
I hope i am no affending a lot of SGS fans here. For me SGS is just too problematic and what I want is a phone that works well when you need it, stable and again it must have great apps which android is still very far behind.
I doubt the iphone and the ipas uses gps inside a building. I'm pretty sure they were using cell tower for location.
AFAIK, apple uses "Skyhook" that has much better algorithm for detecting phone's location by cell tower triangulation. They tried to use that tech for motorola phones but google stepped in and block it. For now, all android phones uses google's poorer cell tower triangulation algorithm. There's an ongoing legal battle between google and skyhook.
The most promising from right now is the cyanogenmod. It has great gps performance and virtually lagless and no jerkiness. Battery life can still be improved - although I read pre-nightlies #15 has a much improved battery life.
For you, I suggest to ditch darkyy. I do not wish to offend any darkyy fans but I never believed in his character and his rom. Try the latest leaked stock gingerbread. GB custom seems to be not as stable as I wished.

Will CM fix the horrifying battery issue? That's the only major complaint I have, aside from the hunt for Swype and some necessary goodies bundled with Sammy.
CM will fix it eventually. Got no problem with swype. I downloaded swype installer from its website and it installed fine. Also, for all sammy goodies, there are better alternative in the market. See first post for cm7 for alternative apps.

quite an old custom rom u have there, I think. I never have any issues with GPS lock and foursquare lock with my sgs running cm7.
anyway, I do agree that for out of the box smooth and excellent functionality, the iphone4 is one of the best if not the best smartphone for users. however for a techie like me, ios for all its wide app collection and great functionality is too limiting for me. different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Apple product is like that. I used my sister's macbook for a while and I was suffocated with its limited freedom, namely itunes and ipod. MBP may work for people who don't know how to change screen brightness, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Not really an old rom. Gingerbread is still very new for SGS and I am still waiting for custom GB too be more stable before I flash again. I am thinking of flashing to Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1 ★ JVH ★ Fast. Sleek. Beautiful. How is Darky compare to Juwe?
As stated above. Try stock gb rom. Take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 Choose xxjvo with bootloader. It has a nice guide to upgrade as well.
QUOTE(ic3joker @ May 30 2011, 09:38 PM)
goatrip or simply honey or any other rom to try?
Try all and then try stock gb. See if I'm right about custom rom not stable yet. If I'm wrong, we may see the first stable gb custom rom!

thanks for your reply. i tot i'm alone having dis problem.. and yeah, i'm now on Kang 7.1 ... the speed is undescribable... gila laju! but i desparadely need video recording at the moment. next week going to Copenhagen.. i have my own camera but who knows suddenly no batt or full of memory..

right now i hv changed back to JVH but surely will revert back to Kang after coming back from holiday
I flashed to gingerreal just before tentative changes for #15 cm7 nightlies become very interesting. Will definitely convert to it once it is available.
