cryingfreeman

it´s 1.5 or 1.6?

Andronix

just telling that it may not be needed to do a wipe when going to JC4. So just flash this files separately via Odin and tell us how it works.

Main issue to check is "no sleep bug" from JB2 and JC1:

I7500XEFJB2- Phone never sleeps !!!

guestus

it's 1.6

Riksu8

Agh, why don't I have my data cable with me?! Now it's gonna be a looooooong six hours before I can update. And yes, this is killing me. Hopefully I'll forget somehow so I won't feel as bad. I'll be back tonight with my first impressions

cryingfreeman

which languages it support? is sleep úroblem still here?

beitinsw

I have Galaxo 1.6.1 on the phone right now. If I odin the 4 files will I have to do a wipe before/after?

inFECT

Thanks for the Links guys.

i uploaded and tar'ed it properly.

Fast Mirror: http://box23.org/pub/7500/firmware/I7500XEJC4-PDA-CL196167.tar.gz

Andronix

I'm afraid that going from Galaxo back to stock ROM would need a wipe.

Andronix

Easy updates for those with stock JB2 or JC1, just flash that PDA via Odin, no wipe should be needed.

Mr.DNA

Quick question - with all of the 1.5 updates everyone always recommended a wipe. Now, with JC1 and JC4 the wipe is thought to be unnecessary. Why is that?

mvnjpy

okkkkkkk this better be so awesome

dryhte

nobody installed this yet? Please give us an update re. the available localizations, if you have... thanks

hawhow

I install this ROM,but default langues didn't a English, you maybe selection English.

mrqs

wow, you sure you wanna use english on your phone?

if so, settings -> 5th selection from bottom -> 1st selection from top (assuming the menus are the same as on jb2)

beitinsw

cryingfreeman

can be use this rom in galaxo rom? what "no sleep" problem?

qirex

neither spanish language??

gil1

I have the same GPS/Network location "No Sleep" bug.
Firmware is faster though.

Dont flash CSC it will erase all of your data.

Andronix

wipe is always recomended, but not needed. it may work without wipe, but may not aswell

chronodekar

There is a "how to odin" sticky on this section of the fourms. Using those instructions, I can load up II5 or IH8. The only step I change is, instead of using those tar files, I downloaded from the link inFect gave, but it doesn't work. Odin won't even start the download, it gives some kind of error like "the tar file was too big size" (or something similar to it).

Any ideas how I can flash this ? Also, this is a Samsung ROM right? (I mean not something like MistyMod)

-chronodekar

yoyo

I think it's not official

carthesis

How much memory do you have free out of interest?

davyu

About 30mb right now, but it's really snappy.

carthesis

30Mb with how much stuff running? And what's free immediately after boot?

I'm on II5 with Galaxhero 1.5, and assuming i do a clean build and turn off all the nonsense with TasKiller, I get about 36Mb free. I'm 32Mb free now with nothing running.

I'm still getting rid of the damned thing, but if i can speed it up a touch in the intervening period to make my life a touch easier....

Xenon

Please report about the:

1. no-sleep bug
2. general slowness after some use
3. lowered music volume with respect to 1.5

kresten

i did flash to this rom
and i think it is very nice, but i cant compare it to anything else, cuz i just got the phone yesterday

Sarma

Afther startup and killall 40MB...afther few hours use +killall 35MB...thats about 5 megs better than JB2...for me...

Andronix

adb working? can you try "adb bugreport" and paste first 10 lines?

kofuukali

Xenon asked the right questions.
But from this thread I realised that I would like to know what the 4 different files really do?

CSC: local + provider settings & programs (not needed for a working phone)
PDA: ?
Phone:?
Bootloader:?

Anyway for now, I will go for transferring only the PDA (coming from JB2) cause I really can't be bothered with wiping my data every week (the way things seem to be going right now...)

mongofrye

Can i flash this with Drakaz recovery? I am using galaxo 1.6.1 right now.

on that note, can i flash anything with drakaz recovery other than his roms? which ones. I like the ease of doing this in the phone without ODIN...

Thanks!

inFECT

no.

golanster

hi
Im on my original 1.5 firmware ver. iil2
i understand that the csc is the operator so my question is do i need it or should i skip it?
thanks
Nir

informale

Flashed. No 'no sleep problem' of JB2/JB6 so far, at least if it was indeed caused by the wifi/network location setting.

Andronix

does that mean you have NL enabled without bug?

beitinsw

with JC4 I notice the headphone volume goes louder. I had the phone plugged in all night but this morning I rebooted and made sure "network location" was turned on. In about an hour of being unplugged, Battery History reports 30.7% running and 14.5% screen on (I listened to music on the way to the office). Battery information reports 83% battery level. I'll try to report back where things stand at noon (Central Europe time).

I did notice Weather Bug was VERY sluggish while it struggled to figure out where I am (to me this was a symptom of the no sleep bug in the first 1.6 release). Even after I "closed" Weather Bug every 5 seconds or so the GPS icon appeared. That has since stopped, though.

Riksu8

So far, after about 12 hours, the new fw seems quite snappier than the previous one I had (JB2). Yeah, it's a bit sluggish, but not as slow as JB2 was on my phone. I haven't noticed an insane battery drop yet, so I don't think the no sleep bug is present, at least not yet.

How did you guys do the flashing, by the way? I flashed the pda, phone and bootloader as I usually do and it seemed to do a factory reset all by itself o_O Was I supposed to flash the pda part only as was suggested here?

chronodekar

I have done single file flashing of II5, IH8 and JB2 using the 'howto' in the sticky. But the links mentioned on this thread don't work - at least, odin gives the 'size too big error'.

So, if I need to flash the image, I need to unzip the file (using jzip , I assume?) , select pda, phone & bootloader files separately in odin and just press 'Start' ? (After plugging the phone in download mode, of course)

Is this right?

-chronodekar

Riksu8

I've always flashed with the separate files, I don't like using the single file flashing cause I don't want to open the tar to remove any csc-related files (I'm very prone to mistakes). If I recall correctly, I did once use a single tar, but instead of using Odin's single file flash, I put the tar into the pda, phone and boot slots and it seemed to know what to do by itself.

inFECT

According to posts from the german android forum, ppl reporting that they got hit by the sleep bug..

We need moaar input :-D
