I'm thinking of buying this phone,but i'm worried that 2.3.4 will be the last update for the SGS.

any word of an Ice-Cream Sandwich update for the SGS?
*
IMO, 2.3.4 is most probably the last version of android to be released as samsung will want to concentrate on sgsii.

however, since we get strong support from cyanogenmod, (now at 2.3.5) it is very likely that we'll get ice cream sandwich update when it comes end of this year.

Personally, I don't worry of not getting updates at all.

3.enter recovery mode
4.Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.

correct o nt?
how abt d imei number and country code setting?
*
- can clear dalvik cache along with normal cache too.
- make sure you reboot phone after flashing cm7. don't flash gapps right away.
- imei number will be retained
- it is multi csc I think, so apn settings will be made automatically.

me too.. too bad sad.gif

may I kno the main reason for flashing EZbase? don understand after reading biggrin.gif

with just one odin flash, you'll clear everything, cache, dalvik cache, system & data apps. you also get root and cwm too. it's like a clean base to fall back into. can choose froyo or gingerbread one, each with respective bootloader.

weird.. suddenly i can install apps from Market! but now another problem -____-" I cant seem to find Gmail in Market eventhough i emulate US SIM already.. is it because of the New Market problem? i installed the latest gapps.

thanks man, i'm reading the troubleshooting and installation guide in xda, most of them use ROM MANAGER... it is the same to the one in nitrality and you can also dl the latest nightly manually into sd card n flash them using cvm rit?... i think da cvm method is easier......LOL

I can assure you using rom manager to update cm7 is a lot easier.

yes, aosp rom will never be as stable as photoshop rom.

just flashed galaxy sense to test out the rom while waiting for MIUI next update. LOL! kinda weird,SGS running sense.

nightlies are always unstable. So far no stable version released to sgs yet. For other phone, of course there are.


QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Aug 12 2011, 01:28 PM)
on the contrary, I find cm7 very stable. sure there are features that don't work at all and some that don't work well, but I find it more stable than the photoshop roms i've tried which tend to start lagging and behaving weirdly after some time. I have been on cm7 since May (longest time I've stayed with a rom so far) and as a general rule, newer nightlies make things better and better. zero lag ftw!  smile.gif

if i'm not mistaken, the Google 18 months policy means that a particular phone will only get update to the latest Android for 18months starting from the released date.

I think that only applies to phones released after the agreement was made. Need citation.

yup, flashing #85 now... hope all gonna be ok    unsure.gif

Coming from CM7 #75

Flashed gb bootloader using ezboot > clear cache & dalvik cache > flash nightlies #85 > failed
Then I formatted system and data > flash #85 > failed as well

I reboot into windows > flashed ezbase 2.0 (froyo) > flashed gb bootloader using ezboot > reboot > success!

Finally I flashed #85 and restored everything. front facing camera works. let's see how the battery fair with gb bootloader.

conclusion: ezboot won't work if you come from cm7. it works from samsung photoshop rom though.

yes, from cm7 you have to flash using codeworkx's bootloader(added in first page) biggrin.gif . i did the same thing like you, i thought i will brick my phone, luckily no. from what i understand, flashing bootloader have high risk to get hard brick if failed.(maybe not in some case)

*
fortunately, the primary and secondary bootloader size is very small. so it gets transferred to your phone in miliseconds. it's very hard to hard brick it.

hi guys, wanna ask how do i get thinkoffice to work in cm7? i read it somewhere but couldn't find it... or do i have other alternatives in cm7 tat can edit office file? and lastly though i install gapps i din see samsung apps... is it not included or else? thanks a lot guys..... cheers biggrin.gif  smile.gif

it is available in your downloaded samsung rom. open up with 7-zip/peazip and look for thinkfree.apk

hey all, just got my SGS but i wanna know that is SGS having weak wifi problem? My router located downstairs. while in my room upstairs,my laptop and ipod touch have no problem connecting and surfing while my SGS can't even connect to the router. All these is done in the same room upstairs. Even go downstairs also cant get full bar while my ipod touch can easily get full bar of wifi signal. Any comment?

Is yours an AP set? If yes then your phone firmware includes a phone modem file which is not tailored specific to work best with malaysia telco.

If you are rooted, you can flash dxjv9 modem to your phone.

it reads : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v71)      for processor under CPU menu

Is it the correct hardware?

Yes correct.

You were also correct about telco. Best is experimenting with different modem files for the best wifi signal. If you are rooted, switching modem files is very quick and easy.

I'm impressed that there are still people buying sgs. Perhaps dropped price entices people to buy it.

Anyway, anyone is up to make a flowchart guide for gingerbread, cm7 and miui?
