It was fun while it lasted, but I think we can safely skip KA1. I'll leave everything here for those that want to play, but I'm going back to Roto-JME and crank out a new release of that.
Here are the pre-packaged KA1 firmwares, pre-rooted.
I am recommending that you flash CF-Root-Tab-KA1 to get ClockWorkMod 3.0 if you do not have a protected bootloader.
Use Roto-KA1-Full.zip if you are coming from any firmware other than Roto-JME.
Use Roto-KA1-Upgrade.zip if your current firmware is Roto-JME.
Use P1_add_hidden.pit if you're not coming from Roto-JME.
I have made the following filesystem changes so far:
Deleted Gmail.apk, Maps.apk and install_flash_player.apk to free up space for rooting.
Added AppWidgetPicker-1.2.1.apk
For those of you with protected bootloaders, either package will work for you too.

JL1 modem. So far gallery hasn't went 100% cpu. Theres a new "Active Applications" widget showing how many apps are in the background, with some type of meter or display or something.

Hi, Roto
I have flashed the original JM* series ROM so the bootloader already got protected. Is there any safe way to downgrade?
I went through the whole thread of downgrading JM6, but eventually was confused and didn't dare to try.
Any of your advise will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I will give a try no matter how according to the guidance.

Thank`s Roto
but update fails from JME v2

Pit yes - no

Sry for my English........
Arguments for upgrading?
Excuse me, but isn't KA1 an Asian ROM?
What are the arguments for upgrading from Roto-JME, if you're an European SGT user?
Thx!
Just flashed Roto-KA1-Upgrade and CF-Root-Tab-KA1 over JME(non-protected bootloader), everything seems excellent so far, very smooth moving through apps and menus, no problems with screen auto-dim, even the Readers Hub is updating properly(hasn't updated properly for me through the JMx roms).
Edit:
Market just updated properly.
Swype v2.4.44.10881 is full-screen for those who were wondering.
Thanks rotohammer and chainfire for all your work on these releases.

There is no known way, yet.
There are already rooted GSM custom rom's based upon the 2.1 releases which have happened so far. It takes dev's a few hours from release usually to get them into the public domain.

If you installed the latest ota just downgrade & root.

"First, you need to downgrade your ROM to 2.73.xxx.x"
Like: "Also downgrade 2.73.405.93, even if it starts with 2.73...".
Btw: If I would flash Part 2 OTA update, 2.1 andoird, would it be as easy as now, to downgrade?

You can't downgrade once you flash part 2 as the version will change from 2.73.xxx.xx

You could use it - just don't flash the bootloaders! Use Heimdall after extracting the bits you're interested in. Personally I'd avoid it and wait for a modaco-based version with working recovery .

DO NOT DO THAT. Playing with locked bootloaders is almost surest way to get bricked. Either flash with heimdal or wait for a version without bootloader.

I'm assuming your really really new to flashing so before you flash anything you need to do some hard research. GB is Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) they are completely different os's that are nothing alike whatsoever. This phone comes stock with GB and will be receiving ICS ota soon. Flashing specific things for this phone can be dangerous and brick your device, so look around majorly before altering your device. lets start off small. First off are you rooted? (is your phone stock?)

Use this to root and install CWM found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Using sfhubs autoroot package would do the same thing as both those steps since he is already on EL29 wouldn't it? Autoroot, roots and then installs CWM recovery right? Maybe Im wrong as to the point your making with both steps.
If you just want a nice theme, you could always download Go Launcher and find one there. Otherwise, use the AutoRoot package by sfhub to root and install Clockworkmod. Then you can start flashing ROMs.

Hey Dutch,
So just to make sure that I understand this response correctly, if I back up my current stock slot [Running B4 in Stock slot], flash this ROM over it, then restore the backup I just made, would I pretty much be all set with the JE update?
Thanks!

Flashing via safestrap only updates the framework to the latest build so I believe you'd still have the old kernel and modem. As far as I know, (correct me if I'm wrong @beanstown106), since our bootloader is locked we have to use Odin to flash modems & kernels.

Gah,...that's a bummer.
I'm looking at how to unroot and was worried I'd softbrick the phone or something if I flashed an older/incompatible firmware
I made a backup of my original stock TW installation, but when I hit the Update button in About Phone, my Settings app just force closes and stops responding.
