Brazilian Galaxy S with Digital TV Root and Mod

Hello everyone!
I'm from brazil and our Galaxy S comes with built in 1seg digital TV (it even has an antenna), and I got mine today. Seems a root isn't available yet, so if anyone need me to dump anything or anything else so we can make this work, fire away!
Thanks!
Carlos

Have you tried any of the available methods of root? But first make sure your phone can go into download mode in case anything goes wrong. I'd like to see a picture of this Galaxy S with a TV antenna. Sounds pretty cool

It's been rooted, check the forum.

Did it today using the forum's tutorial.
Has anyone installed ROM's on the i9000B?!
Cheers

Not yet, still trying to figure out how to install all the gapps I want. Gtalk workd fine, but no gmail yet.

Ok, phone sucessfully rooted! now, anyone done any of the most popular hacks? Like the lagfix one? Seems mine doesnt have enough space on /system/ for ryanza's one

froyo 2.2 ?
The big question is : Will be Brazilian GS upgraded to Froyo ? Its the only Galaxy with tv ...
Does it suffer the lag issue ? The gps is good ?
Thanks

I have applied Ryanza's Lag Fix and Market Access, but I'm still an Android novice. No problems whatsoever with Ryanza's, my Galaxy S is the Brazilian model, unlocked and unbranded.

Mine already came with Gmail and Google Talk (haven't tried it yet), or are we talking about different applications? By the way, mine is unbranded.

How do I know if my phone suffers from the lag issue? I applied Ryanza's fix but to be honest I didn't notice much difference.
I think my GPS reception is poor. But I had previous phone models which didn't have good GPS reception themselves (Nokia N97 and Sony Ericsson Vivaz) so I don't really know.

I'd love if someone can dump this firmware.
I'm looking at swype and the modem.

Tell me what to do (or point to the appropriate topics) and I'll do it. Any risks involved?

i don´t know what the problem with brazilian SGS, works perfect to me with root, lagfix, we don´t have roms just it, you can use froyo beta but you need a way to extract apk of digital tv and swype language module (pt-br) just it, and we will have a galaxy like any other

Well I had to xchange my galaxy s for another because I semi bricked it LOL so before I did, I tested the froyo beta firmwares and on all of them the touchscreen didn't work. maybe our kernel is different somehow?
Seems we will have to wait for an official I9000B firmware?
Also, my galaxy didn't come with google apps, I got samsung email and some customized gmail application and some claro ****. Where can I get the regular gmail or another as good email client? Or even better how can I completely unbrand the phone and leave it like the one bought outside carriers?

Did anyone here rooted the Brazilian Galaxy S ? Anyone using Claro ? Thanks.

a lot of peoples use rooted SGS of claro in the orkut community of SGS, try this update.zip man

Now that we have paid apps in Market I cant see why to root . Anyway, I was not accepted in the orkut community . I am working on it right now to figure out what happened .
My big concern is : will be there Froyo for us ?

hi
Maybe this is a stupid question, but would it be possible to use the digital TV app on our "non" brazillian phones?
-TB-

Digital TV it´s hardware thing...
Our cell phones have a TV antenna and a digital receptor.
I´ve instaled clockwork and backuped my phone.
These files will help someone in xtracting swype language and TV app?

Samsung released an oficial Froyo update today.
Let's see how long it will take for us to get it here in Brazil.

Umm.. I have no idea what you mean, but you can't just simply jack roms onto another device. I assume you are chasing HTC sense?

you'll probably kill the phone beyond flash recovery
you don't need to install the HTC Desire ROM to get the software.
the only thing you need is to download the .APK from a HTC Desire phone
then install it on to the SGS i9000

No, it's highly unlikely you'd "kill" your phone irreversibly by trying to flash a Desire ROM, those phones are too different for it to be of any real danger. But it won't work, of course, and would require reflashing for sure.
And no, installing a Sense UI application from Desire to SGS is nowhere near as easy as you suggest - you'd need to make the application independent on Desire framework at the very least.

the italian guys forum did it already on the previous Galaxy
we just need to get them to share that with us, as they made it part of the rom for Galaxy instead of having it as an idependent install
it was to do with a special promotion they were doing to advertize their site.

HTC Desire features on Samsung Galaxy S
Sorry for the weird thread name. I'm stuck between the Samsung galaxy S i9000(SGS) and the HTC Desire. The SGS was a winner but still the SGS has issues that can't be overlooked by me.
1) Will Samsung support SGS till android 3 is released and if not is it possible to install stable version of android 3.xx on the SGS. ?
2) Can the HTC Sense UI be ported on the SGS ?
3) Has anybody noticed any lags while using the SGS ?
4) can the touchwiz UI be customised ??
5) when is the froyo update coming

1. Nobody knows how Android 3.x looks like or when it'll be out, so that's a question without answer both for Galaxy and Desire.
2. Yes, but might be a lot of work to port it properly and completely
3. Yes. There are community fixes and now it's been pretty much fixed in some of the leaked Samsung firmwares as well.
4. A bit.
5. September.

I gave Galaxy S a go.
Lag issues are fixed by now.
GPS issues are being investigated, but since this doesnt concern my particular device I dont know much about them.
Well main SGS's annoyances for meh are missing LEDs. One for notification, and another one for camera flash.

[Q] HTC Desire Android port
is it possible that someone makes an Android with Sense port like the HTC Desire one...?!
I think this version with the HTC Sense interface is just more usefriendly than the interface from Samsung...
would be great!

There have been enough threads about this topic already. So far, it's not happened. Perhaps it will eventually happen. And when it eventually does, everyone will know about it.
So please, people, stop asking (making threads) about Sense on Galaxy.

The closest is to use a Launchpro plus theme that does sense. The theme is in the Themes and Apps thread

[BOUNTY $427,5] Desire HD rom Port? (for Vibrant [$80])
The Question: Is there any programmers/devs that think its possible to port the new Desire HD ROM to the Samsung Galaxy S? I think it would be very nice getting the ROM on the SGS.

Update:
- As more and more posts come, I realize it's possible to port the ROM. But it will take time, and effort from probably a lot of people.
- Also some in the thread wants to create a post/thread for donating to the porting.

This question keeps getting asked and as far as I'm aware there are no developers (unfortunately) who are working on, or plan to work on this.
I'd love to be able to try and port it myself. But I don't have the time/skills.

Are there any possibilities that we (a couple of folks) go together any try? Like I wanna learn, want to develop a ROM for my new device. I have not got it yet, but once I do.. I want to customize it.

If it was that easy there would be plenty of custom roms already. There aren't yet, even if there are lots of great developers. Maybe when samsung releases froyo official firmware and kernel something will change, I hope...

Has anybody played with this HX Camera Mod?

hey all~
just curious if anyone here in the AT&T S3 XDA Community tried the HX Camera Mod
http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-mod-hx-is-back.html
Some threads poped up in the search, most though, were asking how to instal it or for like the T-Mobile variant or an international varient ...
anyhow, I trust XDA ... and usually search here before installing a mod ... so that's what I'm doing now
Thanks ... and no rush ...

I would recommend just giving it a try. You don't have to flash anything and there is really no danger in replacing the camera APK. Just make sure you copy the old SamsungCamera APK somewhere safe in case you wish to revert later. Worst case senario your camera won't function with the new APK and you just have to revert back to the old APK.
Other people's opinions on a mod are going to vary vastly. Some people may like mods, others may not. You won't ever know unless you get your hand's dirty =)

I installed the HX CAM on GalaxyMod ROM last night. Just inserted the apk into system/apps directory, set permissions to rwrr, & reboot. no apk to rename since GalaxyMod ROM uses best face cam apk (GNote2). No FC so far. Still need to test features.

[Q] Will the Cyanogen Mod V10 work with my Cricket Wireless HTC One V

I just got an HTC one v from Cricket Wireless and through a bit of patience (which i need badly ) Was able to root it with an AIO kit (Props to the dev of that kit.)
I Recently read that this phone won't be getting Android 4.1 or 4.2 .
I'm wondering (and this is why I posted in general. What roms would be awesome for this little phone and well...I've been all over the net and I'm curious as to "What's cool?"
Would Cyanogen Mod work with this phone?
Would I lose any services (Talk, Text, Data)
I'm aware of the possibility but what are the steps I can take to prevent it/recover from one (if it happens)
I do believe I have the original RUU from another website. and the android SDK on this computer.
I will probably have millions more questions and I am going through the forums, but, I'm interested in hearing what's up. I'm also new here.

Welcome! If I'm not mistaken Cricket Wireless is no sir right{CDMA}? You might want to check out the HTC Cmda thread. However most of the CDMA roms are for Virgin Mobile.

Thanks for the welcome
I believe this phone is PRIMO C according to what I've read. Yes, CDMA
Android Ver: 4.0.3
I recently did a TWRP backup (2 hrs ago) with Ver 2.3.3.0
I'm also reading about Slim Bean.
I would like to have the latest os on this phone, eliminate a good percentage of the crap this phone came with (from Cricket) and have a good time. Yes I know it won't run games very well...but the rest is fantastic.

OK Great! Unfortunately some of the roms like Slim Bean have a bug that Forces a reboot randomly. Usually when unlocking your screen. Another problem is that these roms are usually made for Virgin Mobile and that you'll have to modify them for your network. There is a thread that shows this I believe. I would suggest Rhythmic Rom. It's based on CM10 and doesn't have the reboot bug.
Sent from my One V using xda premium

I think I saw a thread on how to modify a rom to match a service provider. Like a text file or something like that. (Best comparison I can make is modifying the morrowind.ini (for the PC Game Morrowind) file to use a specific sound) So I shouldn't have a problem there. (Just found that thread think it's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120559&highlight=cricket)
Rhythmic Rom...I did read a thread about that last night. I think the guy's in the process of trying to solve a bug with the phone's 5mp camera not working and video recording crashes. It looks like a good rom. I might want to try to test this rom out on an emulator (if possible)
If I remember CM10 is based off of Jelly Bean, an OS I'd love to have on this phone.
While I'm at it. I'd like to say thanks for your help so far, and thanks to anybody else who jumps into this thread. This is the first time in a while that I feel like a proper n00b at something.
:highfive:

[Q] Samsung Multimedia Dock and Custom Roms

Hey y'all!
I've been scrooching xda forums throroughly, and there is very little discussion about the multimedia dock. (Which is going to be awesome, when someone here gets Ubuntu fully functional on the phone!)
Anyways, here is my problem. I am currently running ProBam 4.22, and it has no idea what to do when I connect it to the multimedia dock. Nothing happens, no HDMI output, no keyboard or mouse support.
The thing is, I don't even know if any custom roms actually support the bloody thing.
Is there any application, tweak or similiar that could be installed/flashed so that the multimedia dock would be supported?
I got so frustrated that I even tried flashing the stock rom back. Which didn't work out. Ubuntu on my computer, can't find proper tar.gz stock version to be used with Heimdall. (The thing keeps complaining something about Heimdall packages shouldn't include any links or directiories... I packed it myself and put none of that stuff there, what gives?) So, not going back to Stock, unless I install Windows. Which I hate.
Any idea on the matter?
Thanks in advance!

Really? No responses
Well, it would be quite awesome if someone would be able to add smart dock support to a custom rom.
I bought the thing for nothing, it seems :S

I would also like to know that!
I've had one N7100 and now I have a I9505.
I intend to buy a Smart Dock to use with the S4. I use the PAC-man ROM.
No one knows exactly if it works?
