[Q] hardware modifications - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I will get spare galaxy s for 50$ and i want to modify it. I want to replace galaxy s screen with galaxy s2 screen but i don't know if connectors (motherboard-screen) are same.
P.S. screen size is not a problem because i will make my own case. And resolution on both devices is same.
Sorry for my bad English.

just use a stock rom of galaxy s2. just search it here and you'll have it. after installing the rom, you'll have like the exact look of s2. actually you'll feel you're using galaxy s2, lol

No. I want to connect galaxy s2 super amoled+ screen on GT-I9000 but i don't know if both screens have same connectors that are connecting motherboard with screen.
Software is not a problem as i have created few roms myself.

Pizza & a beer.
I would wait a few more months until the new autumn devices have been announced. perhaps there is a new Nexus device coming up with recent hardware and a budget oriented price?

cant wait going to buy galaxy nexus..
did you consider htc ome s?
i was
At the end I have took sgs3 but if my butget was tight i was prepared to take one s
pros:
1. arm15 on board so future proof
2. realy good build quality (even better than sgs3, and I know what I am talking waiting for delivery of otter box comuter case for my sgs3!! )
3. chaper options for monthly rental, at least 5 to 8 pounds a month.
4 nice screen
cons
1 Not samsung
2 not sgs3
cheers
If I need to buy this year,I will buy SGS2.
If I will buy next year,I will buy SGS3.
No-matter SGS2 or SGS3 I will buy used phone and in warranty.
Because in my country just warranty 1yeas and new phone must cost me about $700,so I will buy used phone.

I was thinking to switch to a Galaxy nexus, but reconsidered. Now I'll wait for the next nexus(es?) mobiles to be announced and probably get that.

i9100g no good for custom rom lol? CM10 nightlies are available for it already, yet i9100 still doesn't have them.

Bolded text is horribly wrong. The i9100G sports the OMAP4 processor, just like the Galaxy Nexus. It's much easier to develop for this particular chipset if compared to the i9100 Exynos chip, and as the previous poster has pointed out, CM10 nightlies are already out for the i9100G but not for the i9100.
Thank You
Thanks, this helped me too.
lol couldn't wait..already ordered the nexus..hope its as good as the galaxy s turned out to be..thanx guys
Why do you need to upgrade it?
It's funny... even after two years, I haven't found a single phone I'd much rather have than the SGS. Most newer models are just too damn big. The S is the perfect size, and recent software upgrades have made it faster than ever.
Yes the Galaxy S1 is most rom and mods, rather than later, and is still the best.
I love my Galaxy S and I will change it only when it dies.
It still is the best price/performance out there, its size is perfect, it has one of the best sound chips on the market and it has a big list of custom ROMs.

[Q] Can I change S3 Mini's housing/body/case?

You can change the back cover with a metallic one (I've seen dozens for S3, surely they are also made for the mini)
Just search google images for "galaxy s3 metallic cover"

Samsung Captivate or Galaxy Ace

Hello,
I am trying to get a phone for my 17yr old daughter: she is not heavy data user (just web browsing).. I am torn between the Samsung Captivate or Galaxy Ace: I can get both from Amazon for about $150.
Which do you think would give the best bang for the buck (I know I am posting in a Galaxy Ace forum, so I am aware of the implicit biases)?
cheers, MN

Get thr captivate. It has better hardware and overall better than galaxy ace
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
When I should choose a Phone for my daughter (ok i'm 15 ) I would take the captivate because it's way faster and gots a bigger screen.
Also you've got a faster CPU and more RAM.
And with the small Space in Galaxy Ace's ROM she wouldn't be happy
Thanks, Rawny ...

You can try to port it but ask the dev for permissions first, or you can wait for the dev to port it to our device.
+1 hope it will happen very soon! And maybe they could somehow take advantage of the extra gig of RAM!

This is 4.2.2 touchwiz based rom so it can't be ported as for now. If you want your i9305 to look like s4, try Xposed/Jkay Framework or Lidroid/ripper Rom. These modifications can allow you to flash s4 themes. Not an perfect solution but still woth a try.
P.S. My suggestion, if you're off-contract, better get rid of this device and get a Note 3 in september.
