Wipeout: Neets: While we've been kept in the dark from Geekzone I've managed to flash Doc's v4 ROM successfully, set up my phone then completely screw it up by changing the battery mod resulting in multiple force closes. That'll teach me for copying the file over with Root Explorer rather than flashing it with CWM. I've done it before with Root Explorer. Going to set up the phone again and then flash the framework-res.apk file from the zip created in UOT Kitchen the proper way. Hubby's already asked if it's going to be another midnight bed-time for me. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Oh noooo... At least it's reversible. :> Edit: Anyone know how to thank someone on XDA? I can't seem to find a tab or anything next to usernames... Log in. If you've registered (likely) and it's not there, might just be because you haven't made the minimum number of posts yet. Or semething else entirely. Cheers, R2D2 Galaxy S has gone to its new owner. HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, alpha AOSP ROM, on Telecom XT. Rough around the edges but showing much potential considering it's pre-beta. My daily driver now.

I guess it depends what theme you're using for XDA becuase I get a thank button under the name of the user. Click the button and you've thanked them (for that post). aha! Yes, I can see it now, ty. :>

Hey.. have been reading the forum. I just want to say that Froyo is actually out for Vodafone NZ phone. I updated my phone 2 days ago using Samsung Kies without any problem. I don't know why some of you guys can't update. See image below. http://www.geekzone.co.nz/imagessubs/blog2727706bcf2c85bd016eee50374b0e29.jpg

Well things are screwy here. First Root Explorer wasn't on my phone after doing Titanium Backup. I had to download it again from the market (actually TB showed about 3 applications with ticks for my batch restore where the app name was empty, so I deselected them). Anyway, decided to take a ROM backup but that app wasn't installed either [sigh]. Downloaded it again from the market and then went to take a Backup. Rebooted to recovery and did some Multi CSC check which failed [rolls eyes]. Next thing I'm back to 3e and I tried to apply the update.zip and it failed, twice, some unsigned something a rather [pulls hair]. This is the very same update.zip file I've already used tonight when flashing Doc's ROM. Bed time me thinks. I realise I can just flash the CF root again in Odin but how annoying to be told the update.zip file can't be used. Gawd. EDIT: Turned phone off. Went to recovery and CWM is there! For goodness sakes. So while I'm here I'll take the plunge and just flash the framework-res.apk zip file. Here goes nothing.

Samsung NZ told me in a email it's not available. I have no idea how you can get it. :)

Go directly to bed. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. In the morning, maybe a reflash back to JM8, full factory/dalvik cache wipe first? Bugger! Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. SGSIII ROM: WanamLite v1.3 Kernel: Ninphetamine v1.1.0 Modem: DXLEA SGSII (Now belongs to SWMBO) ROM: WanamLite v12 Kernel: Siyah v3.3.2 Modem: BVLPB SGS (Cat's chew toy) If you need a download-mode jig ASAP, you're welcome to borrow mine! Works with SGS I/II/III. I also have a SIM cutter available (Dunedin) - happy to post either to you at your cost.

I bought my phone from DSE if that is of any help. It is running the official 2.2 version. GPS is very much improved. The lag that was present in 2.1 is also almost all gone. Slight lag sometimes but much improved compared to 2.1. Skype works great. Even when I use Kies Registry Patcher to make Kies think that my phone is 2.1, the update will become available again. Maybe Kies is not reading some of the phone's firmware version correctly? My phone is currently running Firmware 2.2 , Baseband version I9000SRJP2, Kernel version 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S604 #9, Build number FROYO.SRJP3
