I just got the Galaxy S a couple weeks ago and I love it. A question about the music player though - how do you change the order of tracks in the playlists? Whenever I create a playlist, the songs are always in alphabetical order! I know there's a "shuffle" option, but how do I play them in a particular order? Is there an app for that?

and no wipe slim ( i didnt tried yet)

its worth a try. to install his rom no need to use odin also.

I am happy with this rom, now i am eagerly waiting for actual 2.3 gingerbread ROM....

Darkys new rom is available from today. V9

Awesome! I'll probably give it a try (with Speedmod kernel k12 Q).

But, right now, one issue I am facing is, I am not able to find the talk application..(stock google talk), possibly because I installed Slim Version (although had restored the missing apps)..

Any idea how to reenable/reinstall it? Tried downloading googletalkservice.apk, but it says not installed. Those with talk working and rooted, can you check whether the apk is found under /system/apps ? (Like the installation process required for installing swype required?)

i was using darky 8.1, and i upgraded to v9 i even tried wipe and then installed v9. gtalk is always there.

i suggest to re-install the v9.

i guess v9 with voodoo 5.2 is better than speedmod kernal for battery, you can try both and let us know how is your battery.

cheers

Yeah, after switiching to v9, the issue is fixed. For now, I'll probably stay with v9 ,as it is working fine for me..(hate to do wipes..)

Any of you guys tried Airtel 3G in Bangalore? I subscribed for it and facing a few issues: I am able to browse the net using the browser, but none of the other app (Market, Maps,etc.) are able to use this connection. Note that these other apps used to work fine on Edge and still work fine on WiFi, but do not get a connection when I switch to 3G. Any body else seen this? Any solutions?
