New EUGENE373_PDA_FINAL Galaxy 1.6

1. Vibration not working is a known issue with this ROM and most likely will not ever work.
2. Create a directory on your sdcard and name it "SD". This should resolve the FC on the gallery.
3. Wi-Fi is not automatically reconnecting after the phone sleeping is also a known issue. Only resolution is cycle Wi-Fi off and then back on after waking phone. Or selecting "Never Sleep" from the Wi-Fi advanced options. (this will drain your battery even more though).
4. There is a bug where the phone will not sleep after being charged. Solution, reboot phone each time you disconnect your power cable or charge the phone while turned off,

Hope that helps.

Number 1 RULE when Changing Rom's....
1. FUlly Charge Before doing an ODIN....
2. Let It Fully Die and Power Off & Charge Full while Off..
3. When Possible, use 2G when not using Web & Market
for longer Battery Life.

4. Doing the above will Show major Improvements!

I tried this and ran into the following issue. I was using the new Updated UVJA3 ROM with Root. When I ran wipe data, I got an error deleting a file stating that I didn't have permission. I continued on anyway and completed the remaining steps with out issue. After ODIN of the new kernel, the phone hung at the TMO applause screen. I ODIN back to UVJA3 and tried again, this time all kinds of files can't be deleted. I thought that the UVJA3 ODIN files included Root, but it doesn't appear to. what am I missing?

- Preview apps in Market
- Built in power manager widget
- More apps only compatible w/1.6 & higher
- Seperate camera, download, camcorder and 3rd party apps gallery.
- Text to speech synthesis

And all around less buggier than Cupcake

Hey BH_MAN..

I was at the TMo store today to replace my wife's sim card. We got to talking about our phones (he has the MT3G), and in the process, I mentioned that you had this 1.6 thing in the works.

Well he proceeded to tell me that someone had come into the store the other day with a BH2 flashed with 2.1. He said the phone was essentially worthless in that it couldn't make calls or anything, but that it was still 2.1 according to the info in 'About Phone'.

Think it was made up? Or are there people out there getting close to this? I figured if anyone was able to do this, it'd be you, so that's why I ask.

I may be wrong, but I think its fairly easy to install any OS onto the phone to get non-radio capability (I mean if you sort of understand what you are doing) but the drivers that control the phone chip, etc. is the tough part. If you check out the gaosp, they have it installed, its just getting the drivers running. So I'm pretty sure the guy probably did have it installed like he said. Only wish he was here to help contribute!
