[Q] JP2 vs JPF vs JPM

Hi all.
I have been waiting for the official Froyo update for G3 since last year August. I haven't tinkered with my phone at all and it is the stock 2.1 FW available by default in India (DDJG5).
However since the DDJP2 has been released, i have read forums with people having endless issues with this build. (Which is really disappointing from Samsung considering they made us wait so long).
So I have finally decided to flash froyo as i don't think Samsung will bother to provide a fix for the JP2.
And i wanted to know which stock ROM is the best, with least number of issues - JP2, JPF or JPM??
Also will i have any issues with network connectivity if i am flashing a ROM from a country other than India?
It would be great if we could also have a comparison of the custom ROMs available. (From what i have read so far Kyrillos seems the best IMO, but i am not too confident with flashing and partitioning as i have never done it before)

Well, you can only try for yourself. One thing is certain though, you can forget JPF. It's old and outdated.
I haven't tried JP2, but JPM in my opinion is the best froyo rom out there. Haven't had a single problem with it, and battery lasts very long. All major custom ROMs are based on JPM, too.

Thanks for the input.
I see you are using Kyrillos 4.1. Can i flash it over JPM if i consider a change later? Or do i have to flash JPF first and then Kyrillos? Also is it required to partition the sdcard for Kyrillos or can i just flash it and it will work fine?

yes you can flash it, and no, I don't think it's necessary to partition your sdcard

Thanks again. And one more question. I have seen a few versions of JPM floating around. Some with bootloaders, some without them, some say it is onepackage, etc etc. I don't really understand fully what they all mean by that, so could anyone point me to the latest JPM build, (with the least possibility of getting my phone bricked).

If it reads JPM then It's the latest build, always. There might be different ways to flash them (it can be a one package or in parts, as you said). So yeah doesn't matter, but if your JPM comes in parts, don't flash the bootloader. The only way to brick your phone during flashing is if you're flashing the bootloader and then lose USB connection for a reason or another.
As for partitioning sdcard.. I think you need to do it in Kyrillos. At least I did, as it showed me 0kb as internal memory. Kyrillos (and\or his thread?) can confirm this.
Oh and I cannot remember what ROM I flashed before flashing kyrillos, but I've seen the man himself suggesting people to flash JPF first if anything goes wrong or the phone doesn't boot. And I this was what I had to do to get Kyrillos' ROM to boot

I was using stock eclair 2.1 DDJG6 in India while other was flashing custom rom all around. I had a facination with live wallpapers so i rooted my phone and used it. Then i got offcial update directly from kies. Probably the first one in India. After checking it out i figured several bugs such as the youtube,camera,music player,stock browser. So i was wondering to take a risk and flash my phone confused betwwen JPM Stock and Krillos 4.1. Then i plucked up the courage an then flashed it with non overclocked version without partitioning my card directly from DDJP2 to krillos 4.1. Its pretty good atleast better than so called OFFICIAL FROYO DDJP2 we were all eagerly waiting for. **** YOU SAMSUNG.

Just saw on Samfirmware.com:
Europe releases XWJPE(March 30) and XWJPF(April 5) are they improvements on the XXJPM (Feb)...
It would be great to have all the issues and advantages of the latest FW in a tabulated format won't it? Would sure help a lot of people in deciding.
@ayan - How is the Kyrillos working out for you?, facing any issues in usage? Just flashed it using Odin with the tar file and the ops file?

I haven't tested these new roms out, but they most likely wouldn't release 'em if there was no improvements.
Oh and XXJPF is the outdated one I was talking about, this ROM is XWJPF, which as you said, is newer then JPM.

thanks
thanks Nice idea !!! ^^

Yes i just thought its better to do that way. And as off now Kyrillos is good. But the camera bug is still there. I dont know. I am thinking to trying the new firmware XWJPF . Lets c how it works.

I just flashed JPM build from samfirmware.com and it is root by default. Some issues i am having:
1. GO Launcher Ex keeps restarting 90% of the time i hit the home button.
2. Not able to log into facebook and twitter account sync, however facebook and twitter individual apps are working.
3. The sizes of most apps in the App Management list is shown to be below or around 1mb.
4. GPS signal not locking on.
If anyone else is also having these issues or can remedy them please tell me.

Problems 1,2,4 resolved after a few restarts. No. 3 still persists (although one can easily live without a fix for this ).
Really love the JPM rom... No real issues as of yet ...

I also have that app size thing and think it as a bug that I can live with.. it also exists in other ROMs. My theory is that the system has moved it to external storage and for some reason reading it as if it was installed on internal storage, and reads that it takes 0mb of phone's memory. I could be wrong, though.
Hope that wasn't too messy explanation

One bug i noticed just now ... Wifi takes too long to switch on and most of the times gives error. Only switches on after 3-4 continuous tries. Is anyone else experiencing the same??
This also makes me ask a question, can my G3 work on a wifi created by my laptop? if so, then how? Because i have an internet connection through a lan cable, and would like to utilise it on the phone to save up on the 3G data charges.

I like JPM IT is stable

Uninstall Gingerbread MIUI 2.3.4 on Galaxy S

Hello, i need to uninstall Miui Gingerbread to install the official Gingerbread, i'm much more used to it, how can i do it?? Already tried to clean up the data and system and tried the Sam's firmaware last gingerbread but it would not worked.. Is it possible to downgrade to 2.2 and then install 2.3.3??
Greetings

Yes it is possible to downgrade for 2.3.3 to 2.2(.1 in my case)
I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I basically followed the instructions to install MIUI, but for a 2.2 ROM, so wiping data, system and cache, then flashing a darky ROM (but should work with any tbh)

Dead easy. Just install the Samsung Android 2.3.3 XWJVB ROM (link - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xwjvb-gingerbread-rom-gaalxy-s/)
But before you install XWJVB, install the EZRom to remove/uninstall the MIUI. It's available in two versions, select the one you want:
Android 2.2 based EZRom - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/
Android 2.3 based EZRom - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-rom-v3-0-full-installation-guide-w-video/
Credits and Thanks to Nitr8 for great EZRoms

All you need to do it , Flash the Official GB FW , using Odin (Repartition just to be sure)

Once done, if you do end up on your home screen again, you've made it.

Thank Vertumus!
Follow the steps there and you will reboot to a fully stock experience.
WHY INSTALL THE OVERCOME CUSTOM ROM?
Because alterbridge did a smashing job at keeping the OS as stock as possible, he even included a few things like books and the stock music player alongside the samsung one. He kept the kernel stock for people repulsed with custom kernels, and using his rom you'd get amazing speed and battery life, thats the reason its one step over the stock rom.
WHAT IS THE OTHER ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING THE STOCK THEME OVER THE alterbridge86's ROM?
Because Overcome is fast, lethally fast, and the stock theme removes the irritating and slow dock from the UI, hence taking up lesser memory and speeding up operations more.

[Q] Rooting and Installing Rocket Rom V7

Hello Everyone,
I have few questions which I know might have been answered before (and I appologize for that) but after seeing different responses, I am a bit confused. So here are my questions:
1) I've updated my galaxy note with the official ICS via OTA but after updating it my phone has gone slower and laggy and facing the problem of fast battery draining. So I've decided to install a custom Rom. So please suggest which ROM is best which is stable, fast and have a good battery. I have downloaded Rocket Rom V7. How is it?
2) To Install this ROM I know I have to root my phone but I have read that a lot of ppl bricked their phone. So is it safe to root this phone and if yes what is the best procedure. I have seen posted in other threads that some kernels are not safe. I am posting my Kernel version can u please tell me if it is safe to root and if yes which is the best way.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000DDLP8-CL551076
Build Number: IML74K.DDLPA
Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance .

Can any one please help....

I suggest you to use LiquidSmooth 2.3. Brilliant rom, the best I have tried on Note. But notice it only got english language.
/CK

Yes! its totally safe when done in the right manner....download stock LP3 rom...GB..from stock roms thread...download pc odin and unlockroot software from unlockroot.com...
Now put your mobile to download mode..vol up then lock then menu...press all 3 until you see a android bot...click continue...
Make sure u hav kies installed in pc...open pc odin software...connect ur phone to the pc..click on PDA in pc odin and direct it to the LP3 rom you downloaded..and click on start...wait till everything is done..your phone restarts in GB mod...enable usb debugging and connect it again..open unlock root software and click root..

Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.
