I9000 as a media player only - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I hope someone can help. I have a old galaxy. I was wondering if there was a ROM without phone and email and the like. All I want it for is a digital radio player and spotify client. I know that I can instaal slimbean and then begin removing apps etc. But was just a thought that. There may be a ROM out there that fillls my needs
Thanks

It really depends, to satisfy your needs you'd need a rom that pretty much doesn't have telephony working at all yet media working. Its pretty dangerous taking a rom and then removing apps such as the dialer because then things have a tendency to REALLY screw up (or maybe that's just stock).
Probably the experimental ubuntu touch would be one of your best choices.

Just rooted, Now what?

This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun
I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

This is what I thought too. Apart from backing up to the average user, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do!

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.
Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

Im sticking to stock for now, see no reason to switch. I mostly mix/mash stuff from other roms if i like. But yea i just got my vibrant few days back so i don't know wht roms are available/good. There was this thread however, look for "best firmware" i believe it was called.
Okay thanks for the tips everyone

Android Lockscreen On Stock ROM?

just came across this thread and was wondering if we can have this for those who are still using stock ROMs? thanks in advance.
You can get that lockscreen on captivate, not sure if you can get a one click program for it though

can you tell me how? if we can get one click program for this, it'll be even better.
anyone???????
bum, bump,
You can always try it but I doubt it will work. Framework files can be rom dependent.
From original post:
"I have tested this on the 2 devices in my house. I can port this to other Galaxy S phones (if it doesn't already work.) Just contact me via PM and I'll need some files from you."
Might be better to do this, send the proper files and then wait for a response.
Have already sent pm. No reply yet.

[Q] TriviaDos

can anyone port triviaDos to this phone? i was looking for it and i also tried myself but i didn-t succeed... I'll very grateful if someone can do it.
thanks in advance, here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aul.irm.triviados
I am in android 2.1
Hi,
I have made the Triviados app work in my x8 with Android 2.1 changing a file inside the app.
It's and old version (2.2) because I changed my phone and I don't use the x8 since December.
I will edit this post if I can do the same thing with the last version.
I dt use it also but i wanted it for my spare time...thank you so much!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
well i tried and it doesn't work, I cant login well thanks anyway I really apreciate that work. Hope you can port the new version or if u are busy tell me how can I do that.
thank you so much!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Well, tomorrow I'll try to port the last version and upload here. Don't worry, i'm not busy.
Sent from my Nexus 4
OK, so after a little time trying to edit the app (I had problems with java), I finally make the last version of Triviados work in Android 2.1. This time I tried the app and I can log in and play a game. The only problem is, when you see the list of opened games, you see a red and black box at the bottom with something about "adActivity", but it's not important.
So, here it is the app for all devices with android 2.1 (like the x8)
lol thanks for that! I'll try ASAP 100 thanks I love that!

Can we use one of the many HTC One's close to ours
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app
The closest one with an existing CM is the HTC One XL, but it has a different GPU which *may* be significant. Zarboz is working on a stock port of the One Mini, which will hopefully make future CM ports easier if they materialize. Though the One Mini isn't looking too good IMO with its announced $550 price point, its potential popularity is still debatable since at least it'll be spared the stigma of Facebook Home.
I tried to port that one but failed I did use the 1.08 deodex and removed all Facebook and att bloat added cm 10 wallpapers a cm 10 boot animation, aosp browser, cm file browser and Apollo, also added a folder with extra apps in the zip for manual install ie. Moded play store,
Blackmarket and a few others. Molded store installer needs s off to work let me know if any one wants to use it and I will upload it

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g custom ROM modding

Yo! So, I know this phone is kinda old, but I'm still rocking it. My question is based on the fact that I've tried pretty much every custom ROM and I'm currently using CM10 4.2 and I'm really not digging the contacts and messaging app that comes with it and most of the custom roms for jellybean.
So, I am wondering if it possible to replace the apk with an alternative from the play store?
Any help would rule. Thank you so much to the developers for making this phone so customizable and easy to change!

Try aoip it up to date all other roms are discontinued
There are several dialing and message apps in the play store. I think the contacts app I use is Rocket Contacts, or something like that. As for messaging apps, I will have to look at which I am using, but there are several, most of which are good, I would imagine.
