If you have a GT-I9100 that would be a galaxy S 2, not this phone. Considering you are asking for 2.1 though mayber you do have this phone. In any case, 2.1 is outdated and there are upgrades to 2.2 and 2.3. You should upgrade to those versions as apps are now built for at minimum 2.2+.
If you choose to use a custom upgrade from the devs here, your ROM will come pre-rooted so you won't have to worry about rooting it yourself.

I currently have 2.2 Froyo installed on my Vibrant, and I want to get back to 2.1before I install Axura204. I tried installing Axura with OCLF and Rom Manager...but no luck, so I figure I might have better luck installing it if I went back to 2.1. Is it even possible to switch to Axura since I am currently using 2.2?
I've only been using an Android for about a week, so please dummy it down for me. If I have to flash something or use Odin, can you please give me step by step instructions?
Quick unrelated questions:
How do you disable One-Click Lag Fix (I tried using the disable-lagfix file, but I think it is still active)?
What is the difference between a kernel and a rom?
Click the icon in your drawer for OCLF and uninstall for there. Pm me for help with your flashing.
I would say just flash with odin and go from there. Do u known how to use it?

How EXACTLY do you flash back to 2.1? What files do I need to do it, and does it work with my existing firmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
To flash to a 2.1 rom, make sure the rom has a 2.1 kernal comes pre flashed. For example, any bionix 2.1 roms can be used.

My friend has a vibrant and he wants it rooted. I have a Droid X and its rooted using z4root. Can I root his phone using z4root. I know tha Galaxy S devices are compatible with z4root but I was wondering if it was safe since he has the OTA 2.2 update from T-Mobile/Samsung. Which took for ever to get on his phone.
Thanks
Since he has the official 2.2, there is a way to root but it would have been easier from 2.1. You can search the forums for the instructions, or you can do what I have done for a couple of people, and odin back to ji6 (2.1). And then use one click root in the dev section.All of that really only takes about 20 minutes. Just my opinion.
Odin to stock, Flash Ji6 Update to 2.2 and root with latest oneclick, get all this in the sitckies
So I can't use z4root even though its for galaxy s devices and 2.2 devices

No that probably you can but I don not know if they have updated for the 2.2 and why take the risk, Rooting is rooting doesn't matter which method you use......so it is prudent to use one that is safe and known to work.
No, I don't think that z4root will work in the official 2.2
ota 2.2? maybe you meant kies..
I meant kies. Which was a,huge pain.,

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

hey guys im going to install android on my htc hd2 and i choosed android froyo 2.2
has somebody experiences with that ? is it good or should i take an other one ?
is better if you follow the natural course, install froyo, when you get bored, go for gb, and then get mad for ics not coming for hd2
thank you is there anybody else with froyo 2.2 on the htc hd2 ?
I have froyo on my HTC, and i would suggest you to flash gb, because of the future app
compatibility.
