can someone tell me whats an .apk file?? does it have anything to do with rooting? >< i heard my friend telling me to download an .apk file but did not mention anything about rooting the phone.. can anyone explain what is an .apk file? =D
*
apk is like exe installer for android. A setup file used to install apps. Thats all. Nothing to do with rooting in a way

you can easily extract the rom using dsxida kitchen from xda. but for the moment it only can extract for i9100g.. i have tried to compile back..but always unflashable.

What a good news! Let the development of custom ROM and Kernel begin!!

I must repeat that ODIN method will increase binary count, which means WARRANTY VOID!!
*
absolutely not fully true

odin with stock firmware : OK
odin with custom rom/kernel : Binary Counter increased.

why? odin is official app from samsung which even used by them. so only stock rom is allowed to be flashed without messing with binary counter/yellow triangle

Hey guys a question here, im already flash superatmos v2.1 but it still on DZKJ2 2.3.6 ... not supposingly to KL3 d ?
*
nope.cause the kernel name normally do not contain the name of the rom. what u see KJ2 is the rom name. not kernel. and that is normal considering u are running KJ2 rom with KL3 kernel

Bros,anybody knows what stock ROM apps I can freeze without causing damage to the phone? So far,I think the only one I can think of,rationally is Game hub. Thanks!
*
actually u can just google around for the list. many forum already discussed about this. some of them are quite detail with explaination for every APK

Oh I see, so that i cant flash any ROM that require or base on KJ2 right ? How if i change to superatmos v2.0?
*
who said u cant? u can always mix n match.

KJ2 rom + KL3 kernel. this is normal. even i use KK1 rom + KL3 kernel

u dont need to use superatmos 2.0, just stick with the latest.

Hey bros,this might seem monotonous,as I like asking question,,google doesn't seem to have it,but according to my task manager,Email and Messaging would always pop back up even if I kill them again and again. I'm not hesitant in freezing Email.apk but not Messaging.apk. What's with the Messaging process? Is it the stock app or like the system process or something? Thanks!
*
actually u can find the answer just by googling..but anyway..messaging is running so that u can receive sms..lols

Yeah bro,just like I said,I googled it,took your advice beforehand,you said that it's okay being a noob,as long as willing to search and put some effort. Well,as a result,I got answer that is different from yours. Some of the people on,if im not mistaken,Samsung Galaxy S forum,said that the Messaging.apk was referring to the stock sms app. As you can see,glad I asked here,always a better to ask from the phone otai,haha.  laugh.gif
*
yep, different? didnt i said it for receiving sms..but if u have another one like go sms or handcent, u can totally remove it with TB. But any sms app will be running on background to ensure no sms loss.

anyway..glad it helped smile.gif

Ouh,I think I misunderstood you bro. Thought you said that it was like a stock system as opposed to a stock app. Yupe,I sure am using go sms,much more smooth and more flexible. Thanks bro!

it is a system app for sure.and also stock app.same thing.lols
/system/app/messaging.apk

i removed mine. and use go sms totally

guys, how to check for running apps when idling/sleeping?

and also in order to prepare for official ICS update. what need to be done on my rooted, superatmos V2.1 and superRom 2.0?
*
there are many options out there but one of the famous one right now is "betterbatterystats" from xda.
u can see idle app and also wake app.

u just need to flash back totally stock using odin.

Hi,

Not sure if any of you all here that own the G model face the problem for the GPS? Took so long for me just to lock my position. Haven't root my phone yet, but always have to use the GPS status/GPS fix to lock the position first before I can use Sygic (GPS software). Took around 5-10 mins! My other friend who just recently purchase the G model also doesn't have this GPS problem except the camera issue. Anyway, I've purchased this phone on 31st Dec, currently still using KJ2.

Planning to send it to Samsung Service Centre to see if they can manage to fix it though...
*
GPS in samsung devices is theoritically all very bad.
U need to always use GPS Status
or better
U need to have 3G data connection. This will help a lot
