Hmm think I have figured it out. :pac:

Any post I read was rather polite and inquisitive so thats what threw me.

Yeah think I will flash insanity later on today. But I am coming from Surface, already with the GB bootloaders, so does that mean I can go ahead and flash cm right over it and then gapps and add ons?

I think you were asking similar questions Lewis

Well I managed to do the GB boot loaders and am back up and running, will know after a few cycles how the battery is doing.

Edit: Flashed Neo V15 kernel, seems to have improved the colour, lets just see how it can help the battery with UV, although the option is there to OC to 1.6, I would be trying that, lol.

I flashed TalonDev 0.4.4.9 kernel today and OC to 1.2GHz
Absolute match now speed wise for Insanity. Smooth as silk.
Settings - Aplications - Manage Applications - All now loads as instantly as they do on CM7
Sticking with SURFACE. Hasn't let me down since I flashed it (maybe a week or more now)

Raoul

I'm so torn!! I don't know whether to upgrade my surface or go back to insanity. I am leaning towards insanity as I like the idea of upgrading without losing all my apps and having to do a full wipe.

I think you've had a littile trouble with SURFACE?? Can't remember who it was.......
Do a clean flash of v3.1
When it's done then flash TAlonDev 0.4.4.9 and OC to 1.2 GHz. You won't need to upgrade again...............!!

With Insanity there`s no need to OC to anything, :P

Now that it`s on GB bootloaders I am noticing an increase in battery life and once I figure out how to UV I`ll be able to get even more battery life, you can`t go wrong with Insanity and all the updates it gets.
You will not have any trouble with Insanity like you did with that other "yolk"....FLASH INSANITY NOW!!!! It`s an order! lol

have you a good guide to OC and UV?
I had a reboot there at 1.2GHz but don't really have a clue what I'm at.
I have Tegrak's app to OC/UV but there is a Core Voltage and an Internal Voltage. Which do I change?
Any guide/help appreciated

Edit
Is this the guide you guys use?

I never used a guide, the best way to do it is go at it step by step, don`t just jump to 1.2 or what not.
Everyone`s phone are different so the guide probably won`t suit, 50/50, if you start to see some random reboots or freezes then you need to scale it back a step.

Did you change the Internal Voltage or is it just the Core Voltage??

has anyone upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.4?
i have a samsung galaxy s phone with emobile contract.
i have froyo 2.2 currently unrooted
i would like to update to gingerbread 2.3.4
i have all the instructions available from samware website using ODIN.
has anyone tried this before?
is it safe to update software on a unrooted phone using ODIN?
does it give any significant difference from froyo?

I did the upgrade to 2.3.4 using ODIN and it went without issue
As long as you follow the instructions to the letter you should be fine

The difference is massive. Its a new phone. Its a lot faster and smooth
I have had one issue where the phone just hangs and needs to be rebooted. Its happened maybe twice in the last two weeks. The 2.3.4 ROM was a leak so it might no be as stable as the official 2.3.3 release

I may be incorrect but im sure the other boardsies will correct me

thanks for that info. very useful.

Just bought one of these today, and having a couple of problems.

1.

Shop where i bought it told me to upgrade firmware immediately as the stock One wasn't as good. So i downloaded Kies (which is a load of bollocks, btw) and it gives me an option to upgrade.

Current version is PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPP / CSC:JP2(eir) and
Latest version is PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV1(eir)

When i try to upgrade, though it stalls, and then i get an error message as follows....

Don't particularly wanna go flashing it with a custom ROM or anything as its only new and i don't reckon i'm tech savvy enough.

Any ideas whats going wrong?


2.

This might be more suited to a thread on its own, but i switched over from O2 to e-mobile and your one in the shop said it'd take anything up to 24 hrs for that to happen. I had my sim in the new phone for about 3-4 hrs while i was messing around with it, d/l apps etc. and still no sign of it working.

I transferred the sim over to my old phone to make a call but it says "limited service" where it used to say O2 and i can't make/receive calls. Put the sim back in the galaxy, and after booting up and putting my pin in it asks me for a "sim network unlock code", which i haven't got. I realise this might be sorted by morning time, but if not i'll be giving them a ring. Has anyone any experience of this kinda thing?

Btw, can you mute/change the default e-mobile startup/shutdown sound?

Thanks in advance, lads.

Well your best bet is to read up on custom ROM`s and then pick one to get, that`s the whole idea with this phone, that your able to do anything with it, custom ROM`s improve everything..

Well modems will work differently for everyone, depending on where your at.

I been through a hape of them and here`s what works good for me, in the Lily white area...

JPY...good call quality, good signals,9 sats, 30 metre lock, fairly good!!
JVE...good sound quality on call
JVP...Outside up to 8 satelites, navigation was very good, fairly overcast, I`d say its a keeper.
BVJJW2....weak 6 sat, mostly 1-2 sats not to bad...
JVR... very good, got up to 10 sats in GPS Test, 10 metre lock in Gmaps, perfect lock in G navigation, waiting on a call for quality
Trying JV5...very good, between 8-11 sats in GPS test, 10 metre lock in gmaps outside, perfect lock in navigation, a keeper!

Guys I'm looking to sell on my SGS since I got the SGSII, and I'd like to put the stock ROM/kernel 2.3.4 on it instead of Darkys 9.5, is there anything special I have to do to reset it back?
Can I just unroot it and then flash it again with Odin, right?

Cheers.

No need to unroot
Disable lagfix then flash stock via Odin. Flashing stock will unroot for you

Voodoo is incorporated into the ROM, ie, when you install the ROM, you will have Voodoo lag fix also.
