Root Easy guide to update to Galaxo or GAOSP!

[DaSchmarotzer]

Me, yet again. i usually am on WiFi for any data related things but I"ve now noticed that I can't connect to the GRPS for data anymore. Does anyone know what, or if there's anything Bell Canada Customers can or should do to get data working again over the network?

I tried searching for combinations of 'bell, canada, grps, and data' Nothing seemingly relevant so far, hopefully I didn't miss anything.

You probably need to enter the Bell APN again. Here's a quick How-to:

Press the Menu key
Tap Settings
Tap Wireless controls
Tap Mobile networks
Tap Access Point Names
Press the Menu key
Tap New APN, use these settings:

Name: Bell Internet
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type: Internet + mms
Authentication Type: none

Hi, thanks for the great work. Just wondering if the new Galaxo supports chinese language.

 

[r3dpuma]

How do i upgrade from 1.6.3.3 to 1.6.3.4 , an idiot's guide. Please, on drakaz site is not quite that explicite. Without a wipe if its possible, or can u suggest another backup app free, like MyBackups which has expired.

 

[Lelouch]

You must rename downloaded Galaxo 1.6.3.4 to update.zip, and follow the steps by Drakaz on post #2:

Galaxo V1.6.3.4 (Donut) (Page 1) - Release - Drakaz's Android stuff

If you cant push update.zip via adb, you can always try copying it there.

EDIT: Also read post #6 written by sado1 on the same link

Don't forget you need the new recovery and gapps too. Recovery goes on first, then galaxo and gapps.

I've finally managed to get this to work.

The issue I have is that the stock drivers that the stickies suggest you download did not support the USB ID of my galaxy in fastboot mode. (Though whilst the full android code, all debugging ADB shell etc works ok)


When using the following (excellent) guide ....

http://androidforums.com/i7500-all-things-root/72037-easy-guide-updating-galaxo.html

you are stuck trying (in vain) to get the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" step to work, and like me it seems at lot of you are.....

Bring up device drivers window and if you right click the yellow warning on the USB driver Android1.0, and select Details Tab, and 'Device Instance Id' my galaxy has the string USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D\5&C0AA250&0&5 in that field. which means its not recognised by the stock driver.

I changed any lines (3 in total) in usb_driver\x86\android_usb.inf that had USB\VID_18D1&PID_DDDD in them to USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D and first time after that it worked perfectly, the fastboot loaded and I'm now running Galaxo 1.6.3.4. OK


One other hint, if you keep call and power pressed all the time, fastboot does NOT boot the main app, but keeps cycling round, kinda habdy when trying to quickly install the driver.



What DeviceInstanceId do other people see in fastboot mode???

but my phone gets stuck at the boot screen(the one written android on it) i waited for around 20 mins but nothing happened. tried this 4-5 times without success.please help me. Thanks in advance.

 

[dsyzug]

second wipe is the culprit

 

[amrutpritam]

thanks for the prompt helpm let me check. then I will let you know.

 

[amrutpritam]

wow the trick worked. ... thank you very much dsyzug. galaxo is really much smooth performer compared to the one given by stupid samsung. ..

Hi All, just a quick update on the Chinese support. Just installed 1.6.3.4. It does not have China (or any asian countries) as a ;locale/region, but the new rom does fully support Chinese, both simplified and traditional. FYI

It works great

 

[amrutpritam]

galaxo is not saving default setting. means while browsing in the in built browser it asked to make it default once. I made it always open by it, but even after that its asking again and again the same thing. And fullscreen in opera is troubling. it now is leaving a blank space at the bottom in fullscreen mode. please tell me the solution to this.

 

[dsyzug]

Make sure check-mark is selected before choosing default option.

I presently have 1.6 on my phone. I installed it using Odin and a Russian firmware. Is there any advantage to using Galaxo instead? I would appreciate any feedback. I have all the needed Galaxo files lined up on my desktop, ready to go. I like the phone and an looking forward to installing something other than relying on the original Bell firmware. Especially after Samsung e-mailed me and advised there would not be an update to 1.6 coming from them.

 

[dri001]

Which key is the HOME key? I am stuck here.

 

[weasel]

The little button above the end call/ power button. You won't regret going to Galaxo ! I recommend adding inFECT's Darksense theme (Downloads | Android Codex ). Makes it look pretty and it seems to run a little faster too.

One request though. Could you please edit your post to remove the quote. No need to re-post the ENTIRE procedure to install Galaxo. Thanks.

 

[dri001]

Sorry, I didn't realize that I included the whole installation post. I actually found out what he meant by the home button. I spent 4 hours trying to switch to Galaxo. I was getting error after error in the command prompt screen. Finally installed it but would not boot. Stayed frozen in the Android screen. Tried to install from scratch three times. No luck. I am back on the Russian firmware for 1.6 for now. I will try again later. Thank you for the response.

 

[dri001]

Galaxo is now up and running. Turns out I was a little impatient waiting for things to happen. Took my time and let everything do what is has to do in its own time. Thank you to DaSchmarotzer and everyone else who made this possible.

I just upgraded to 1.6.3.4. from 1.6.3.3. All went well. Just one question, probably a stupid one. There is a blue circle with the number 100 inside on the status bar. I assume it is a new battery meter. Is this true? Thank you.

Yes, it's the new battery indicator. It might only display "100", "80", "60", "40", "20" and "0", but there is a way to make it show every number, from 0 to 100. I don't remember how I did it, just look around here and you should find it.

 

[Lelouch]

Yes, that is a new battery meter. It's name is "Super Circle Battery".

Good one, I don't know much about the jit. Couldn't you just install another launcher from the market and delete the previous one?

I think that Darksense has the jit included, but don't take my word on that.

EDIT: It appears that I was wrong and the jit isn't included in Darksense. Thanks Lelouch.
