Odin.

I kept getting "Please Connect Phones" message, connected under "Download Mode", Debug check or uncheck the result is still the same. I was getting unable to install driver message too, guess the drivers' are missing. But then I am so sure I've already installed em.

Tried ADB too, were you using Android Commander or the ADB from SDK Manager?
I got this when I try using the code.

I installed SDK manager. Then followed the code given for RZrecovery installation. After that, just enter recovery, clear cache and install cows ROM..no problem here.  biggrin.gif

and after command SU, it will give a #, then you paste the next command. mine just do this and ok liao. And if u using SDK installer, you did set environmental path?

Yeap, I've set it. Doesn't matter now, able to get the recovery rom working =P
Thanks for the advice

you are right but killing apps is a bad idea. http://lifehacker.com/5650894/android-task...ouldnt-use-them

for me, i only kill the app if the app is not responding

I've some problems using that rom myself.

I've wipe cache, wipe data, format system.

But when I try to install, a "Installation Aborted" message will show. Any ideas why ?

Nice! Good luck testing it!


Added on February 6, 2012, 12:20 am

Normal usage, I have not experience any lag. But I was testing the other day when I fill up the phone with 4 or 5 app, occupied more than 300mb, the low memory killer starts killing App in background, i got lag like 15 seconds. but after that it's normal.

if this is the behaviour, it is as expected because i really want to tweak the low memory killer in such a way that it is suitable for running 1 app at the time. the running app will have more RAM by making low memory killer more aggressive.

you can change that though! you can install V6 Supercharger and use a different options. for example, if u multitask a lot, u can use the script to configure that.

again, i have been using my ROM since I first made them, normal use, i dont experience lag biggrin.gif

but, again, i use class 10 32gig sd card (brand DNA - not much choice) biggrin.gif duno if it help... but so far, no one can beat my antutu score yet hehe - 4381

Which App? If can, I will try install it and test it out. You can help me to diagnose it a lot if you do this:

adb logcat > log.txt

in your phone, start the install the App. let it abort.

control-c the adb logcat. give me the log.txt
*
I was using CWM to run it. That was the OC ver of the rom, now trying the non-OC ver to see if it has the same results.


Added on February 6, 2012, 1:03 amNormal version seems to work fine, applied same method over the joined rom parts uploaded on mediafire, but still with no avail.

Mr.Cow, please do let me know how I can help you =)

And not to forget, thank you so much for this.

Can i have feedback from you users. What problems do you face while using this phone. Any complaints? Also how long will the battery last on using hours.

What are good accessories for this phone? What comes in the box? What are the different types of screen protector and what different effects it gives. Also are the Beats by Dr. Dre selling at RM 40 real or fake ones, it's the in ear headphone type.

No news for ICS yet?
*
3.7 inch screen feels great to use on hand.
Battery life is satisfying, provided if you are not using it heavily.
The box comes with a charger, a usb cable, a headphone with mic, and some manuals.

To me there are two general categories for SP, Clear and Matte.
Clear protects the screen, while the screen display remain less or unaffected, requires a lot wiping of fingerprints.
Matte protects the screen, slightly affecting the display, fingerprints free.

The original beats headphone is around RM 800 to RM 1.1k. Be the judge yourself.

Don't think it will get an ICS update, has galaxy s will probably not get it as well due to the spec's limitation.
However you can either wait for custom roms.

help pls  smile.gif  & thx in advance^^

Just to clear, i need to completely wipe my internal memory?then put the zip in there and flash?

Nope, all you need to do is wipe cache and dalvik, you can wipe dalvin by selecting "advance" at the CWM menu. As for myself, I clear the user data too =x So far I haven't got any FCs yet from this rom.

Supercharger is already integrated into CWG's rom.

But if you prefer a more aggressive setting, you may download the script and choose some other options.

True, but the CRT animation w/o v-sync is really an eye-sore.

It never happened to me. I suggest you to call up the store you bought from and ask for their assistance.

As mentioned, "This method is for rooted Android phones".

P.S : And also it is for Galaxy SL and S, not for SGW.

The "Odin" word is supposed to be present when you are in Download Mode.

I don't think your warranty will be voided if you were to use Odin to flash to stock roms.
