RellikZephyr · February 26th, 2010, 04:54 PM

I have galaxo 1.6.1 and I haven't encountered the sleeping problem, yet.

Have it for a little over 5 hours and phone is sleeping fine.

Will see what will happen tomorrow.

RellikZephyr · February 26th, 2010, 05:36 PM

why am i always one of the ones WITH the problems

RellikZephyr

Kouske · February 26th, 2010, 06:39 PM

i have 80% battery after a days use so i guess no sleep problem here also.

You did wipe/factory reset the phone after the upgrade right? And I hope you didn't restore any system settings.

This is what I did:

1.Backup apps, sms/mms, call log.
2.Wipe
3.Flash
4.Let it load into the OS and initialize for the first time
5.Flash recovery
6.Go into recovery, flash galaxo and restore gapps
7. Back into the OS,restore my apps, sms/mms,call log.
8. MANUALLY restore all system settings.

galaxo is root from flash

other than that you can enable root from recovery image, used to flash galaxo

everything you need to know about flashing firmware and galaxo can be found here

After you mess up for about 5 times like me, you'll be able to flash your roms while on the bus haha.

I gave up from galaxo 1.6, i have had a lot of problems with flashing galaxo.

1.6 is good enough but i need more screens(home screen), original just has 3, galaxo has 10!

do you know how to increase number of home screens?

informale · February 27th, 2010, 10:47 AM

Install Advanced Launcher from the Market. That's simply a home replacement that is used in Galaxo.

buntoid · February 27th, 2010, 11:57 AM

Does anyone know if it is better to flash the stock 1.6 with odin to get the newer I7500XXJB2 baseband and then install Galaxo 1.6.1.

I'm already on GalaxHero 1.1.1 with the II5 baseband.

Andronix · February 27th, 2010, 12:13 PM

It's needed.

adrianoftyriel · February 27th, 2010, 01:51 PM

hmm, what version of recovery are people using? I'm trying to use 4.6.1, but I can't get adb to work anymore, when I've booted into recovery mode, it still shows up as 4.4 and adb wont work to load the RECTOOLS.tar.gz.

andremuller · February 27th, 2010, 03:19 PM

I don't know why, but Handcent SMS (NEW) was draining my battery.

After uninstalling it everything got normal.

I'm using plain 1.6.

benner · February 27th, 2010, 06:19 PM

i updated to 4.6 and 1.6.1 and my phone keeps crashing--that is, the phone radio itself. i get an error and then i can't make any calls. a moment later, i get another message and it comes on again. i try to make a call, and it crashes. i had to revert back to stock 1.6. any ideas?

Kouske · February 27th, 2010, 06:41 PM

galaxo 1.6 did that but drakaz has fixed it. 1.6.1 should work just fine...the recovery should be 4.6.1 as well btw.

adrianoftyriel · February 27th, 2010, 07:37 PM

If i need more help with getting recovery working (can't fully load 4.6.1, cuz i can't adp push), where should I post?

its easier to boot phone normally, and send files via usb

cause adb push requires insecure boot drive, whole other job to set that up

excellent! That worked, and wow, I'm impressed. It's much more responsive and seems much smoother and faster.

nightcrow · February 28th, 2010, 08:48 AM

I just flashed the Galaxo 1.6.1 following the instructions on this site. According to this page it should support also Dutch language. However the languages are the same as the 'stock' 1.6. Did I miss something?

Try looking for an app called 'morelocale2', though for me, my Chinese mp3 tags still aren't working...

informale · February 28th, 2010, 05:16 PM

More Locale does not magically install additional languages, it can only set the system locale settings in order to make the apps that have translations or other region customisations believe that you do have a particular language.

lazarus101 · February 28th, 2010, 05:55 PM

Something very strange happened when I tried to install Galaxo 1.6.1.
I followed the steps from [ROM] Galaxo V1.6.1 (Donut) (Page 1) - ROM Samsung Galaxy i7500 (english) - Frandroid - Actualité de la plate-forme mobile Android and everything seemed OK, no error when I applied the update.zip or restored google apps, but when I first tried to boot the device, it showed a nice android boot screen with a progress bar and it just powered off a few seconds later. The device seemed bricked at this point, the power on button didn't worked. Fortunately after I removed the battery I was able to start it, but the same thing happened, so I booted into recovery mode did a wipe and applied the update.zip once again but this time I didn't restored the google apps and after a reboot it was stuck in the boot screen (15 minutes nothing happened) so I removed the batttery and flashed the original firmware.
I'm not sure what I did wrong, the update.zip is the Galaxo.zip renamed? or do I have to unpack it and get something from there? and the SAMSUNG.tar is the BJ6.tar renamed? Is a nandroid backup required? (I skipped that step).

tisti · February 28th, 2010, 06:01 PM

You are using the 4.6.1 recovery IMAGE and tar package?

I had the same problem two hours ago!
After several failed tries, I re-downloaded the Galaxo package, replaced the old one I had in the SD card, re-flashed it again and then it worked.
Maybe it was a corrupted file, i dunno.

I managed to get Chinese menus using it though... as in, the phone menus.

Edit: my bad, only certain apps as informale said.

I've re-downloaded Galaxo but it still didn't work.
These are the errors I see in logcat maybe someone knows what causes this

GalaxHero ROM development is over, but you can apply some other custom themes on Galaxo.

adrianoftyriel · March 3rd, 2010, 09:58 AM

Oh, that explains it... where would I find this theme?

There is a post in this forum refering to a theme named Plastic Theme:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/23760-galaxo-plastic-theme-skin1980.html

Maybe it's compatible with Galaxo 1.6. And I know that there is at least another cool theme for Galaxo but I cannot find it now.

davyu · March 3rd, 2010, 10:35 AM

I tried to install the darktheme before, made my phone unbootable, had to reflash.

The device seemed bricked at this point, the power on button didn't worked. Fortunately after I removed the battery I was able to start it, but the same thing happened, so I booted into recovery mode did a wipe and applied the update.zip once again but this time I didn't restored the google apps and after a reboot it was stuck in the boot screen (15 minutes nothing happened) so I removed the batttery and flashed the original firmware.
I'm not sure what I did wrong, the update.zip is the Galaxo.zip renamed? or do I have to unpack it and get something from there? and the SAMSUNG.tar is the BJ6.tar renamed? Is a nandroid backup required? (I skipped that step).

I had this exact same problems when I did not do a wipe from recovery before installing the Galaxo.zip. Fortunately I did a nandroid backup beforehand. So I just restored the backup, wiped, installed the Galaxo.zip, restored G.apps and all worked!

i have galaxo 1.6.1 up and working well but after a while of use it looses 3g connection, the 3g icon is still there and the down arrow blinks but i get no data, if i check "use only 2g network" it just works fine. can someone imagine what this comes from?

Thanks a lot, it actually worked now, I guess I was not wiping from the recovery.

Pff I could really use some help from you guys. Trying to flash to Galaxo 1.6.1 but I just can't figure out how.

I flashed to GalaxHero before, and that wasn't to hard. But this time I just can't find this file Update.zip Drakaz is mentioning in this post. It's not in the provided file archive. Also I can't find this official JB6 update he's talking about. Only version i see on these forums is JB2. Where did you guys get these files?

What I did get done is flashing the recovery to 4.6.1 and making a full Nandroid backup.

JB2 is JB6.

Update.zip is whatever Drakaz's new firmware file called. It probably isn't called update.zip, but it is a zip file of around 60 megabytes. Just choose "apply any zip" from Recovery and choose the zip file with Galaxo 1.6.1.

Harmani · March 12th, 2010, 01:22 AM

Aaah thank you for clearing this up for me, informale! I'll continue my attempt tomorrow.

Not until Samsung release the sources for 1.6, I'm keeping watch on Open Source - Samsung Mobile

Hi
use USB cable of good quality and dont use extension to it.
let me know if this help you.

I'm using Galaxo 1.6.1 for 2 days now and I think it is a huge improvement compared to the 1.5 firmwares. Touchscreen is much more responsive, battery endurance is better, more apps are supported and overall responsiveness has improved.

Does any of you by change have tested if Wifi Tether is working with this new firmware? See: android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

it doesn't work. cause there is no iptables thats beacuse that pretty samsung has not published the source (kernel) yet

Harmani · March 15th, 2010, 12:24 PM

Ok, thank you for saving me the trouble to go and find out!

wouldnt mind having the JB thing cleared, so do i just use the zip file with the tar & readme and rename it to samsung.tar, or do i unpack the .tar file and then rename it to samsung.tar?

i seem to be having the stuck on android logo boot if i dont restore g.apps, and a blackscreen after the boot screen if i do..

the only time it did work, i didnt have any themes, and the version wasnt updated to JB2..

-------------------------
EDIT:
OK, i seem to have managed to flash the new FW, the phone info says im running it, the menu looks like it and i got the configuration apps. BUT, it seems i dont have the additional programs stated in the info ie betterbrowser..

informale · March 17th, 2010, 10:05 AM

Better Browser is just the stock Browser, though there are few more options in the settings.

cryingfreeman · March 17th, 2010, 01:16 PM

can be xejc4 firmware use in galaxo?
