Q. Why we can't flash sgs 1 roms? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Sgp has the same specification as sgs 1 so why cant we flash sgs 1 roms? It's. The same device but look little different the only thing that is different beside the size and the battery is the touch screen.
So i don't see a reason why not to flash sgs 1 roms.
I'm really asking so don't tell me that if I want to flash no one stop me or things like that.

It is easy to say that but you forgot that there's other things like the telephone function. Much things are different in the kernel too. The devices (YP-G1 and I9000) are simmilar but they are not the same. As you said (unless you don't want a brick) you can flash to see if it work.

I believe we are, in fact, flashing roms designed originally for the SGS phones. Some of the custom roms (ICS) are in fact SGS roms that are stripped to run on our players. Kernel is the key component that I think need to be specific to these players in order for the SGS roms to boot & run.
If you do a simple search, there is a how to on porting SGS roms to SGP with minor tweaks. You need to load one of the kernels for the player and they are good to use.

It's not quite that simple. A lot of changes need to be made to allow it to even boot, and then a lot more work is required to fix any FC issues. The rom porting guides are all well and good, but the SGP has very special requirements which make developing roms for it difficult
To the OP, don't flash a SGS1 rom as it will brick your device. Even just changing the kernel is likely to lead to the rom not booting. I suggest just wait until the rom is ported to the SGP

Ok thanks guys

Best Rom Galaxy S II ???

I get my S II tomorrow and I've been looking around alot to see what the best rom out is, but there's loads of roms available.
What I'm asking is instead of spending multiple hours going through every rom to find out whats good, whats peoples favorites or what would you recommend,
Stuff I need working -
Camera
Onboard Storage
GPS
(These are musts)
I would preferably like things like overclocking stuff that utilizes the dual core 1.2ghz processor.
Any ideas and thanks in advance
With multiple exact same posts as yours .
One their is no bests rom .
Two read the individual rom threads and make up your own mind.
Three if unable to make up your mind stick with stock .
Four posts belongs Q&A
Stuff I need working -
Camera
Onboard Storage
GPS
You should find they come with the phone not the rom .

Firstly sorry for not noticing the many other posts dedicated to this subject.
Secondary, camera etc may come with the phone but it doesn't specifically come with the rom, I have a Xperia Arc at the moment and the freexperia project doesnt have the camera up and running, so I feel like that was a valid question.
All I was asking is what people are using? What you prefer?
Not an index to what you hate and love about every rom

Coming from HTC Desire, I would of asked exactly the same questions. When new ROMS came out on HTC Desire, or the X10, not everything was working right from the start. Even on the ROMS on this phone it seems not everything is working, so surely the question is valid.
most are just themed roms and don't offer much over a rooted and tweaked stock rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The most famous roms have all the features your looking for i believe, Better Camera, overclock 1.6 Ghz, Better GPS etc.
But you can't say which one is best cause they all are different in their own way, specially in themes and so on.

@JJEgan, you were right in the other thread... this is getting ridiculous
@OP: there's really not much difference between them. The different ones are probably CM7, MIUI and Oxygen (they're not stable), the rest just have some modifications, and they mostly are stable with everything working. Just see which one has more views and pick one you think you like. Creating a thread like this has absolutely no point, you will get zero information out of it... even if people start answering you, you'll just get a random sample of what some people are using.
Stock
Just root it and add a kernel like niphetamine - get juicedefender too.
Simples.

Villain Rom 2.4.2 best for me. It's based on stock firmware so gps, camera etc is working fine. Browser is laggy though so use Dolphin HD or another one from the market.
You get Villain tweaks too!
Flash the Ninphetamine kernel as its overclocked to 1.6ghz.

True, villain rom is nice - but some of us prefer the stock browser too much. :/
If it wasnt for that, id probably use villain too.

I agree with some of the others in this thread, just stock is best. Samsung polished the firmware really well and its amazing. Id say just flash a custom kernel if you want to do extra stuff like oc/uv or something. Really the only time i ever switch from stock is to try CM7 then or something. Other than that imo stock is best.
GS2 is the first phone where stock meet all my needs. Ive played with a couple of different roms and usually something happens after the first week.
Most roms in dev section give you a all in one package. So must of the tweaks that you would normally install manually are already preinstalled. This is the fun part about android with so many choices, try a couple out first and see what fits your needs.
This is a valid question, the more popular the phone the more hours of searching it takes. CM7 is buggy as hell. Stay away. Stick with stock and just flash a kernel. Samsung did a good job actually with this phone, especially with the skinning in my opinion. It amazes me people buy a super specd phone like this the install ROMS that strip the phone of it's power. CM7 is taking way too long honestly and it's absurd how buggy it is at this point in the phones release history.

Just a little rectification for OP and others: CM7 is an unstable nightly build officially, but it's usable. I have it for a week now, and I haven't had any serious problems. It's stable and I can use it just like the stock ROM, with very few limitations. I'm not going back to other roms for now
Leomar's revolution is amazing. Lots of customised stuff.
VillainROM for a stock look which allows for easily added tweaks. Friendly thread as well.
Ninphetamine kernel works great with both roms...
I atlculay lvoe my sumnasg glxaay s2 wtih VliaRionlm mroe tahn my xobx
I am using Lite'ning 6.1 with speedmod kernel T32 but it has not BLN so I will change kernel.
For me, the rom is perfect but anyway I have not tried more (in GT-i9000 I tried too much)
Cyanogenmod ofcourse
I dont have a rooted SGS2 but Cyanogenmod is on the vids very good and smooth.
There are a few issues but there are not major bugs.
Only A2DP dont work ... And a few another things !

Are any of the ICS ROMS any good?

So I've noticed that there are ICS roms and I've got a few question:
1. Are they stable?
2. How is their battery life?
3. Is it worth installing them over cyanogenmod?
4. Are they real ICS or is it a kind of launcher?
Thanks for those of u who'll answer.
1. Experimental!
2. Better than Stock.
3. Depends if you want to try ICS or not.
4. Real ICS

1 - Yes, using Westcrip's v6 as a daily driver (used Wanam's and Westcrip's v5 before without any issues after install)
2 - varies. I've had 100% to empty in 12 hours, but was playing lot. On the flipside had over 24h+ out of it too
3 - Personal opinion, I'm not a CM fan.
4 - Real ICS.
How do I know which versions I need?

basically, the start bit (which is normally a letter) tells you which month it was developed in so in this case L is the latest month. So LP2 is the latest firmware. KP whatever is last month.
Personally im waiting it out until theres a nice stable Samsung one with a AOSP theme.
I saw that each one has a different base firmware and modem version. Should I look out for something specific?
Which one should I download/ how do I know which one i need?

As they are still experimental you need to make sure to read up fully first, as otherwise you might soft or hard brick your phone if you follow the wrong instructions.
This thread has firmware and instructions if you want the stock samsung leaks
Otherwise chose your rom and follow there instructions, also dont put a pit in and repartition unless it really wont work as a bad flash with pit/repartition is a one way trip to bricktown.
IMHO,
Currently there are 2 flavors just as with Gingerbread
CM9/AOSP/etc... & Stock.
Stock:
Fully functional (all features work).
Performance vary with FCs and slow response.
CM9:
Daily functional. (Phone/Data/Audio/Graphics)
But video/camera/fm radio and other features are missing until a proper source will be released.
Performance pretty reliable. no major crashes.
Battery on both seems to be from my experience worse than good GB rom. I believe due to baseband issues (I've noticed battery killing when I'm in a low reception area) and debugging code.
Still to me for example CM9 is daily cause the dialer, web browsing and main features works very well and phone is super responsive.
I previously used ICS for SGS I and it vas pretty good, I liked it alot. No issues at all. Now using SGS II, I'm still in CM7, still waiting for good ICS release.
One question: how to flash back from ICS? Old SGS needed reflashing twice, how in SGSII?

New test leak releases will keep coming. As jj mentioned, try it only if you are sure with it.
I found CM9 to be much better and in fact used it as a daily for 2 weeks. For some reason I had home, power button issues with the samsung leaked roms.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Using the newly leaked LP2 rom as of today and it seems pretty good. Some things im not as happy with are:
Random occurances happen on the deskop
Browser doesnt seem to autofit the text/pages like it used to on the web browsers, including dolphin hd (might be user error i dont know)
All power button functions, etc seem to be working.
Im using the Nova launcher with proper ICS icons, if i could make a screenshot id post it:/ It still doesnt look as niec and well rounded as per the nexus implementation of ICS.

[Q] new to samsung galaxy s2

hi guys...i'm currently using samsung galaxy ace but i'm planning of buying a s2 in the next few days...but before that i have a few questions to ask...
1)there's so many ics rom out there,which is the official ics rom?i'm so confused
2)which is the best ics rom for s2?the official ics rom,or the custom ics rom?and please give me the link
3)is the ics build stable...any bugs?
4)how is battery life of this phone?i use moderate gaming,calls,sms and some wifi...can it last for 2 days?
i hope u guys out there can answer to my questions...i'm a newbie here and i hope that i didnt cause any inconvinience in any way....thx
1) There are several 'official' ICS builds released
2) There is no such thing as the "best ICS rom for SGS2". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
3) Yes. All the non-stock ICS builds have bugs of one kind or another.
4) Too many variables determine battery life to say 'the battery life of the phone is good/bad/etc. As per 2), it's determined by how you use the phone, how you have it setup, whether you have constant good signal where you live/use the phone (poor signal means less battery life) and a whole lot of other things. Can it last for two days ? If I only used my phone for a couple of calls & a bunch of SMS per day with the phone in idle the rest of the time, I could probably get more than a week out of a charge. But it's a smartphone, and who uses it like that ?
Best ics rom = cyanogen mod9

Like with any other phone. Devs will develop, something else comes along and off they go, some Devs continue to develop.
Back on topic, try out an official ICS rom first, there are a few as they are for different regions bit any non Asian firmware will work on the international I9100.
Then have a read through the custom roms and decide what's best for you, no one can tell what's best for you its just a matter of trying.
You've got plenty of choices, stock Samsung rom, custom Samsung rom, AOSP, AOKP, CNA and Miui.

I would recommend you Wajk's WIUI! I've been using it now for about 1 month and im overwhelmed by the functionality and the smoothness of this rom! The only thing is that it is no clean ICS that you actually wanted, but it is definitley worth a try for you

i'm from malaysia(asian country) so which official ics rom will work for me?could u give me the link??thx alot!!!
Whatever phone you buy I am sure you will find a good ICS rom that works well for you. Whether that is a "stock" samsung rom, or a custom rom like CM9, that depends. But isn't half the fun of these phones the fact that you can chop and change and try different things?
I'm using HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03 and it seems pretty kick ass. Granted it only came out 2 days ago so I haven't had a long time to test it But I might decide to change to a different rom again soon who knows? I suggest you take a look in the "Galaxy S II Android Development" forum and look for posts with [ROM] in the name. Read about them and choose one that sounds cool. If you try it and it's not cool, just try another one
I was in a similar situation a few days ago. I had never used a custom rom on my S2 but after Samsung ICS update disapointed me, i decided to find one. I've tried quite a few, somes would have apps that crash all the time etc,some wouldn't boot. I even managed to soft brick my phone.
I then found Ressurection Remix that came with Vertemus' Domination theme.. Installed 9.6. Was great and i loved it. Then 1.0 came out, so decided to give it a try. And i can say that the speed difference was major. More fluid. Only issue i now have is that the domination theme is wierd in the notification menu ( hard to explain ... the black is just too... black on the items. its just a minor anoyance )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854&page=1589
To conclude, i think there is no perfect mod. I was really happy with 9.6 but when i tried 1.0 i noticed that the other version had a few issues.

[Q] Question about ROMS and samsung Apps

just a quick question, When flashing a custom ROM.. will i lose the samsung built in things.. like the Smart Alert? Smart Stay? Popup Player and S Voice?
Ive searched through the threads, but as there are roughly 500 pages to read through lol. was taking me ages.
Yes, as a custom ROM replaces the entire system, you will only get apps that are included in the ROM (in most cases apps based on stock Android), or that you can install from places like Google Play.
I do believe, however, that the S Voice app is powered by Vlingo, an application that you can download separately from Google Play. As for the other applications and features of the stock ROM, I guess you will just have to find replacements for whatever you need on your own.

Not unless they have been removed by the dev or are what is termed bloatware free rom .
But it all depends upon the rom and what it has in its specs non Samsung based custom roms do not have Samsung apps .
~~~####
Custom roms do not replace the entire system neither are they based upon stock Android just because they are custom .
Custom roms are built upon Samsung firmware .
Or built upon Android/Google base firmware or some other port these are of course non Samsung custom roms .

If you want custom Rom that closes to stock rom, i suggest you check OMEGA ROM. it is based on stock rom with motion, etc still work.

okay, so with Omega the Smart alert stuff works? Direct call? popup Video? uhm, slide palm screenshots? haha. i cant think of the rest.
to be honest, if the ROM's dont have this, it seems like a downgrade, i mean i have setCPU already, and the phone is already blazing fast as stock..
i havnt seen to much that makes it worth losing the Smart Features
Omega has or replaces pretty much everything stock has and more.
If you do like certain stock settings, there are ways to get them back via Omega Kitchen, which accessorizes your whole phone so to speak.
i guess i can always backup my phone and give it a try

100%
I've been a huge advocate of AOSP. Even to the point I spent about 6 months learning to build my own from source and release it.
However, there is so much in the Samsung base that even cm10 is of no draw. The feature set is phenominal and anything else really is a downgrade.
Fair enough if you never use them, go aosp. But then your galaxy is hardware only. Its just not right IMHO
But yeah omega of the non AOKP variety has all those features. As do most of the sammy based roms.
They're all much over muchness with a few tweaks here and there. There are lots of sammy roms without much variety

i completely agree with you when you say its a downgrade lol. Im currently using the Omega ROM, and so far its the same, with maybe a TINY few changes here and there with applications.
i cant really see much of a difference overall though.
1 thing i have to work on now..
and that it so learn about Kernals with the Galaxy s3, i dont know what advantages they have lol, i know that having a Custom ROM doesnt mean i have a different Kernal, and im proberly still running the stock one right?
Custom roms come with a kernel but omega uses stock one.
I recommend trying siyah in my signature. The advantage of that is that you can undervolt it.
To clarify, every CPU clock speed has a pre determined voltage it uses. So when your CPU is running x MHz, its always y mV. Undervolting means you could -100mV so x would always be z instead.
Lowering the voltage can increase battery life

Custom roms come with a kernel but omega uses stock one.

sorry if i sound a bit stupid, but yeah im new to this
so i can overclock it, and make it fast, Yet also undervolt it, to keep the battery life up ?
lol, it even sounds stupid when i read it
can anyone tell me please which custom roms also support the "smart stay" funcionality from samsung?
or does none of them support it?

[Q] Is it possible to install Galaxy S i9000 JB ROM on Vibrant?

I want install this rom to Vibrant, but I think I'll have manu problems with it: kernels, buttons, bootloader...
Is it possible or it's only dream?
Yeah it will give you all sorts of issues. There was a script floating around that was supposed to fix those issues so you could flash it after a ROM for i9000 or i897 and it would work. I think it was for ICS only but not sure.

There was a script awhile back that allowed users to flash 1900 ICS roms to the Vibrant(found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623840&highlight=flash+any+ics) However, it was discontinued awhile ago ^^; It definitely will not work with JB
One of the unfortunate truths Choks, is that the Vibrant has certain limitations to it. I know, I know....it's an awesome device, but JB is really pushing its limitations, and as such, you will be limited if you wish to have a wide array of JB roms to choose from. Personally I was never a fan of JB on my vibrant ^^ (ICS was awesome enough)...I think you should be happy with what you do have though, since it's simply amazing that our Devs have been able to get JB booted and working so well on the Vibrant.
