i use a samsung gt i5801 galaxy apollo. on uk orange network. i want to change my rom. but the one i want to use is based on asian firmware. my question is will this work on my phone?
Depends on exactly how different it is. If it's built for a different radio technology (GSM or CDMA) then you shouldn't try it.. if the Asian device has any different hardware or no English language pack then you shouldn't use it.
so in that case. can anyone recommend a better rom for my hardware. if you need any specific handset information i can provide it?
Try googling for it, to start, here is a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283460
Every Android rom contains all the language files, so the only concern is whether this foreign rom would work with the network of your mobile operator.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I have done some research about this Rom version because I didn't know this Rom version but it seams to be a South East Asia Rom version you have.
If this is correct, that's the reason way you can't access the new Rom on the HTC website because it's based on EU users.
so as in htc doesnt provides any support for the south east asian versions?

Thy are probably working on it; even the EU version don't support every language fore the moment.
Ow, I don't recommended to flash this EU version on a hard way. Some peoples have tray it and it isn't a good thing, trust me.
but i need a new rom i guess bcuz my leo is lagging while using...im new to the cooked rom stuff but can the cooked roms get the job done for me?

Yes, cooked Rom are more flexible!
It isn't complicate just read and follow the information that the Rom builder mention.
thanks kurt! ..btw just wanted to know if htc releases the roms only for some specific region as in will they actually release a south asian rom update? and can you point me to some thread relating to battery life of the hd2? deosnt last a day with all the updates turned off

- Yes official HTC Rom updates are regional
- When will thy released a south asian Rom?? I don't know I don't work fore them, and there isn't a logic?
- Battery live is related to different point's; most influent is the Radio version.
I must be honest till yesterday personally I was only satisfy with the 1.07 radio I tray them all, just yesterday I tested the new 1.15 radio and I must say "thats the one!" fore my used, it depends of your location and in combination of the Rom
If you don't have a clou about a Rom take a look on the Artemis Rom (It's the one I used, and very happy with it) (You can find the link in my signature)
PS this is a suggestion, based on my experience but I'm sure if you ask 10 peoples with one is the best Rom you will get 7 different answer if it is not 10!
There is new ROM on samfirmware.com for Samgung Galaxy Ace owners. It's official and European version.
As always, you can check it here
or download directly here

Can any moderator please move this topic to that forum please. My mistake
Reported :/
How is it new though? KPT exists since some weeks if I'm not mistaken. And why does it say 2.3.4 when it's actually 2.3.3?
Its the CSC version I guess, but its from S5830XWKPT, which is 2.3.4.
Anyone using this version?
It say Europa but anyone know what languages it is? Swedish? Is it really official or leaked?

OK I see and for what zone is this one?
I still dont know how to read the lettercodes.....making no sense to me even after reading at samfirmware...
I answer it myself..........installed it and it was polish as first language after boot.
XEOKP2 - The XEO is assigned to Poland.
[STOCK] [EUR] S5830XEOKP2 - 2.3.4 official is fake
I tried it.
It is not 2.3.4, just 2.3.3.
It is however a nice release, and got rid of the operator's restriction for me.
It is a European multi language release.
It is working fine so far. The only thing to comment about it is that it comes with a couple of polish apps that are in polish (TV, etc...) But they can be removed installing some tools.
I recently Bought my S5830. It Originally came from a carrier named IMMEX, which is a small startup wireless provider in Pennsylvania, USA.
It was unlocked, and worked well with my At&t SIM card. It originally had 2.2.1 on it, and unfortunately that is all I remember.
I wanted to overclock it and long story short, I flashed as many roms as I could in a 24 hour period without backing up my original Firmware.
I am currently using gingerreal, and it works better than any other firmware I have found., I get a quadrant score of 1950 and I'm happy with that, except there are a lot of bugs. Wifi barely works, I can't install any apps without the phone rebooting, and I can't connect to HDSPA.
I checked at Samfirmware, but they have no usa region firmwares that I could find. I can only assume that this phone never had a major release in the USA.
Does this mean that I am screwed, or is there a firmware that is similar enough to my region that i can restore full functionality to my device?
Also; I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum. The general Forum description says for Q&A, but the tick box below this text frame tells me I am breaking forum rules by posting this here.
i think why don't you flash European or asian firmwares ?? if you want stock then you can use them there is really no difference ... just some are more stable
Well, that is a simple fix. Thank you VERY much. Downloading now, as soon as hotfile will let me, I'll update the thread with the results.
Hey, I tried several different firmwares from asia and europe, and I still have connectivity issues, with both Wifi and 3g. With any of these, I can't make outgoing calls either.
Any new Ideas?
try flash different modem and see any of them solve ur problem. see thread in development subforum
Hi Guys
I have recently bought new SGS II phone. I have been using HTC Desire and got more than 1 year of flashing experience almost every week i used to flash new ROM or updates to MIUI Rom. Touch wood i never bricked my phone.
I have rooted my SGS 2 with CF root method. Flashing Samsung device seems to be confusing me. There are so many kernels, Firmwares and even themes are dependent upon which firmware i am running.
I used to flash any rom for HTC desire without worrying about which firmware i originally got.
My carrier is T-mobile UK and running Kernel 2.6.35.7 KG2, can i flash any latest kernel or i need to match anything ?
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
Basically i do not understand what i can do and what i can not. I have searched for these all information everywhere on google but can not find any satisfactory answer.
Expert guys please help me.

Read and learn is the only way .

No flash anything bar ICS.
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
If you flash a kernel you will lose TMobile update path .
You can simply upgrade via the stock roms thread which debrands your phone or wait for TMobile upgrade but root may throw that out as its not the kernel that came with the phone .
Best solution is to read post one full of how to stickies .

Hi JJ
I have already installed Villian ROM 3.0 & enjoyed it for 2 days then i moved to Batista70 FoxHound Edition 3.0 with latest firmware XWKL1.
Thanks for your help.
Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you
I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#
ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.
Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3
