Hi guys,
I flashed darky's ROM last night using the resurrection edition with version 9.2.
All works great except the back button now functions the same as the home button. This is extremely annoying as you can probably imagine.
All other buttons function as they should and this is the only issue i've seen so far.
Has anyone experienced this? Do you know anything i can do to fix it?
I noticed it was like this as soon as i flashed the base ROM.
Cheers for your help!

hey try this.... extract it and install the app. it will let you remap the buttons and you can select what actions the button does.... easy fix
Great idea but...
...I actually made a dumb mistake and had used the captivate version
Oh well I'll not do that again ha ha! I'm new to this malarky (that's my excuse anyway)
Darky's ROM working great now! Has given my Galaxy S a new lease of life
Thanks anyway azzledazzle

really anoying...
the button remapper for Galaxy S doesn't work.

Hello, i have my tab for quite a while now and I've been having this issue for months now, at first it didnt bother me but at times it gets frustrating. The thing is whenever I am using my tab, suddenly the tab doesn't respond(particularly the touch screen) and I have to lock the tab and unlock it in order to fix it. I had this issue when i was in stock 2.2 then upgraded to stock 2.3 and still had the issue. I Decided to flash with overcome 4.0 and still the issue is there, I hope someone can help me with this..
Theres a new rom out called icontact its really good and better thsm factory.im on the sprint gt so not much for me to choose from
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
can you give me the link and instruction to install the rom? thanks
If you have upgraded and tried some custom ROMs and are still having these issues, I would look into faulty hardware.
But if you want to try another ROM and have a CDMA(VZW) GT check out this custom ROM. Runs smooth and is stable and pre-rooted.

hi ,
i have sgs from some months ago ,
before like 1 month ago , i update my phone from android 2.1 to 2.3
then i start have problem in my battry it is dont stay more than 12 hr ( if i dont use the phone ! )
i was think it maybe from my battry so i bought new one but same problem
i flash my phone back to 2.2 , but still have same problem for now
so what best thing i can do it for fix this problem ?
and im using offical rom from samsung not custom rom
hope i find answer , thx
I suggest you first to make a full wipe.
If you want to stay with original Samsung ROM that's the only way, or turn off wifi,data and google synch.
I think the best solution for you is to switch from stock Gingerbread to CM7 for example (just because ISC 4.0.3 is still in beta...)
Hope this help.
Cheers
Which Gingebread Version you had on your Phone? 2.3.3 has the Batterydrain Bug!
So maybe you had 2.3.3 on your phone. What Version you get with Kies now?
Actually, don't flash a custom rom (it'll void your warranty) and take to to samsung service, your phone may be faulty since that shouldn't happen.
yes i was using 2.3.3
but i went back to 2.2 now
but still have same problem
and idk what to do

Hi there.
I got the same problem.
Here is the rom I'm using :
DarkyRom 3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461794)
And the kernel is that one : 2.6.35.13-franco.Kernel-2
When using the rom, at first, everything is fine. then when turning off next 10 secs, the screen is black with many colors. At first, only one (red), then a few more, and it is going on, more and more, and the screen is "lightning".
I don't know where is the problem but if someone got an idea or any help to give, that would be great ^^'

yeah yeah thats it! Little specks increasing to whiteness.
Is your model N7000B or N7000?
The problem might have something to do with Kernal CWM.
What I did was flash a stock rom from samfirmwares.com but the only problem is I couldn't find the original stock (thl) rom that came with the phone.
being N7000B. FIRMWARE PDA: LA2/ PHONE: KL2 CSC: KL3
Anyhow for now with new stock it is working fine.
ps. something else I have noticed is the photos I took before I flashed the new stock rom when zooming in the pixel of the photo doesn't fix. but when I take new photos and zoom in, it is fine. figures
Same to me, the problem was solved by flashing another rom, but I wonder why it happened.
About the photos? i didn't notice, I just scared something bad could happen to the phone about the problem posted above
N.B : I got a N7000 ;=)
Hi,
I've got the same problem on my wife's phone (White GNote).
Problem not seen on mine. :/
Did you solved it ? (I'm on DarkyRom)
All other rom I've tested don't have this issue.
here is another thread with the same issue.
Edit:
SOLVED !
Flashed new kernel: AbyssNote -> OK
Also tested another version of franco.Kernel with no luck

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
download ICS rom ( i suggest this one )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687727

if you want to upgrade to JB
go to development section , chose any custom rom you want
and install via recovery

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
