Nope HSDPA is a faster version of 3G, will run the battery down quicker tho.

Glitch V11LL I had ML but it kept restarting then I rea dit's for those uncommon chips.

Should give it a go.

Is there ment to be any OC/UV options with this, I don`t see any in CWM?

Grab either pimp my cpu or voltage control.

I never bother reading the change logs, its all Irish to me, lol.

I`ve 127 apps, don`t ask me why, lol, but I find that if you go to menu/settings/applications/manage applications and if they all load up instantly, that`s fast, press beside it all as well, I find its the biggest section to be loaded up, it was`nt like that on JVAnything, always took a second or three.




LMFAO, bugs no CM is all new to me, most of the time its just a case of reinstalling the app or moving it to the phone.

Yeah its 23, again all I had to do was move the app to the phone, all sorted now, not quite finished with it.
The themes man are mad, no CWM, just an apk, done in 5 seconds, maybe 4, lol.

Here you go...

Ok so. I might give this a go soon.
Flash Froyo bootloader first I see. Is it based on Froyo? Like 2.2.1?

What kernel ye using? Is it V11 Low Leakage from post #1 at this link

What's battery life like?

Ste-
You're on Insnaity a good while? Any issues/bugs? And what version should I flash? CM23? I don't want to start messing with OC/UV. Is the default clock speed set to 1000mhz?

G1032

Sorry Ste-/lewis
One more question

Might be a stupid one but I'm asking anyway.
After I flash the Froyo bootloader the phone will reboot automatically. Since I'm on a Gingerbread ROM will the phone boot properly?
Can I have a Froyo bootloader on a GB ROM, even if it is only for one reboot?

Muhahahaha.....temtping is`nt it.

From Slaphead20....

Procedure
A) download cmxxx
download all the cm packs
C)flash ezbase 2...allow to reboot
D) flash 0xx through recovery...allow to reboot
E)go to nitrality/backup restore
F)flash each pack..allow to reboot each time
G)go to nitrality/apps and load apps you want (calender apps important)
H)change dpi in nitrality ui if required
I)explore and play
J) marvel at speed/donate/thank

* when you restore your apps don't restore data, and dont restore any samsung apps, they won't work

Modems, there is a long list available from the first page of the cm7 thread. sammy modems will not work.

Also try theme's. click it's done. No reboot no cwm flash, so fast.

Remember if a widget is not showing up after long press on the home screen, just move it to the phone.

@Ste- menu/settings/insanity settings/performance/CPU settings...could you not set OC/UV there, or is it recommended to use those apps?

Edit: The new market is out....

Damn it!

I have the dreaded can't scan for networks problem. I dl'd app add explorer to try and file the file causing the error. Can't locate it. Really don't want to hard reset my phone. :C

It's like half the functions I use my phone are related to internet connectivity. Not being able to camp on the home / office network is killing me. And it has only been two days.

Yeah default is set to 1000mhz. You don't have to OC or UV but the option is there in glitch. Minor bugs really, some small battery drain using Hsdpa, SOme folk not happy with teh camera. Small things imo.

When you have your Froyo bootloader and GB rom boto into recovery and flash Insanity CM. IF you have a GB rom and froyo bootloaders I think it'll boot but somethings not right with it either that or it'll bootloop on you.

You can do it there I think, I have it done on other CM roms from there. But I think most people use the apps so you can UV at the same time as OC. I use pimp my cpu and find it handy and easy.
Thought you'd like the ease of themeing, Only since InsanityCM19 you don't have to reboot for themes to show up, it use to mess up your Status icons.

I'm happy enough with my setup now.

Meh...........
I couldn't be bothered with Insanity now to be honest. The more I read from that thread the more issues I see.
It's just one big thread where every second post starts with the words 'I can't get xxxxxx to work'
Can't get Gmail, can't get maps, widgets won't work, calendar doesn't sync, can't add accounts, wifi battery drain, HSDPA battery drain and on and on and on.
Coupled with the fact that I'll lose all my app data..............

Since mostly every app and every screen loads instantly on JVQ Odexed, flashing Insanity seems like it's going to take a lot of time and hassle just to get my 'Manage Applications' screen to load instantly instead of in 2 seconds.........................

Gonna stick with the JVQ I think
Thanks for the advice anyway lewis and Ste-

I know where your coming from, that`s what was keeping me from flashing CM, but I`ve had ZERO problems in doing all of the stuff you`ve just mentioned, the problems I ran into where not bugs, just the way CM is, I did`nt know.

G-mail, perfect no problems, Gmaps locked in no time, same as on JVQ 30 metre indoors with wifi, still on the search for a good modem, once your widgets are moved to your phone there grand, calendar sync perfectly, I`ve FB/Gmail/Ymail synced, battery drain does seem to be the only real downfall of CM but it is or has gotten better, I`m sure there`s a way to slap HSDPA off, I don`t know yet and losing app data yeah its a pain, you could always go back.

I`m glad I`m on it for the time being, 10.2, if it`s not better, I`ll stay on CM.

If you want to turn HSDPA off you have to do it on a samsung rom before flashing CM.

I'm on JVP modem for CM lewis. Seems to work well enough.

You can restore your app data with Mybackuproot, seemed problems with titatnium. Just don't ever restore system apps and you'll be fine imo.

Most of the things people have wrong are due to not reading and not knowing it's either meant to be like that or how to fix the little bug. All roms have bugs, it's life.

got a problem here, any help appreciated....

updated to 2.3 using kies
phone a lot faster. everything good

except, when connecting to pc i no longer get asked what connection i want i.e. kies, media or storage. when i go to usb settings to fix this it doesnt give me the ask on connection option either.

so, i manually set the usb mode to storage and then connect my cable. nothing happens. the phone is charging from pc but there seems to be nothing happening regards mounting the drive. is this a bug with 2.3?

tried with debugging on and off also (something i saw mentioned elsewhere)

its the same pc, cable etc as before the update. its a pain as i only ever used storage mode for transferring. i'm not interested in using that kies nonsense

thanks for any help

Hi all,

Ive recently moved to the sticks and bought a galaxy s on 3 so I can have access to the web. I can connect no problema but I cant connect my pc to to my phone and use the mobile ap function. The network is showing as connectes but with local access only. Am I missing something? Accordinb to the blurb on thephone it should connect straight away.

Thanks in advance

OK
I did this.
Flashed EZBAse first. Then flashed 023 via recovery. But it didn't reboot. It got caught in a bootloop I suppose and then booted to CWM 4 recovery. So I flashed it again from there straight away and only a few seconds it had booted up.
That can't be right, can it?
Anyway it seems OK. Restored my apps and it's going along grand.
Flashed Glitch V11 kernel.

Where do I get the sounds pack to flash? The link for sound pack on Nitrality site is broken.
Also can I get the old clock back? It's not in the nitrality app.
And what about themes? I want a theme that will give me battery percentage in the status bar

Well lewis and Ste-
Thanks for the heads up on this Insanity ROM and thanks for yer help.
It's so bleedin fast it's unreal. Still can't get over the speed.
Hopefully now the battery drain that you were on about won't be too bad. It can take a few days for the battery to settle after a flash.

Just two things I don't like..........
Auto Rotate taken from drop down menu. I used to toggle that a bit but I can always put a widget on homescreen for that.
The old style clock is gone. Thats nitr8 for ya. He introduced this new clock back in Insanity 7.0.1 I think but got requests to bring back the old one. Now he only has the new one. I used to like the Time Zones feature of the old one

Faster than JVQ????? lol
You can add what ever toggle up in the notification bar, the only down side to that is when you add more they all get smaller.
I still don`t remember this old style clock your on about, I`m sure there`s an app for time zones?

Well I`m on 1 day 6hr, which is not to bad, the only thing that will take time is finding the right modem for me...

If you like blue, Rover Blue is nice, but I`m not to fond of the notification style.

Just a little, lol.

Also I found out that you can have multiple app drawers.

Yeah my first battery cycle drained fast, it`ll pick up.

Edit: Just came across this it replaces the charging animation when your phone is turned off but connected to the charger with a fully functional program.

I was actually on that for a while, but I was`nt to fond of the battery/wifi icons, back on it now and yes the notification icon are WAY better, I`d look at my phone as if I was blind trying to figure out which icon was what, lol.

The lock/unlock sounds, for some reason there really low.

I`m not sure about the lock screen wall paper, I`m trying to figure out how to get as many icon into that rotary lock screen, I have 1 in there, but I don`t know how to get a custom icon in there.

I think you`ve only 3 chances to put in the correct password after that I think the SIM gets locked or something.

Yeah I`d change your G sting password, cause if they do get into your phone,they`ve access to it all.

No I mean the screen lock, y'know, the unlock pattern thing. Any way of getting through that? Flashing the phone I suppose.

I have a problem with my external sd card

I went to play some music stored on today but it said that the card was empty
Connected to computer and I could see the files in the external_sd folder. So it wasn't empty.
Went to setting and erased the card, deleted the external_sd folder from sdcard and now not even the computer will recognise the ext card.
But in settings it's still there. See screenshot




7.39 GB free space.
How do I get my phone + computer to recognise the card?
