Supercurio is doing some fantastic work. Looking at the 2.3.1 build for the SGS, he's working at an alarming rate. Wonder when does he sleep. Even the other devs are working extremely fast. At this rate, looks like quite a lot of the major phones will see 2.3.1 by next week. :D

^ Galaxy S will get an Unofficial Gingerbread update soon.. Though lots of features are not yet working on the PORT, there are many developers working on it.

Supercurio has done awesome job :D Cheers..

^ Try using Test Mode for Kies -

1. start KIES > OPEN the firmware upgrade window

2. press alt+cntrl+u+p (while the firmware window is still open). you will get a pop up saying KIES is in test mode

3. Restart your samsung (simple restart). then connect to KIES.

4. I saw for the first time KIES telling me there is an update for my firmware.

I have tried bluray rips of 4.7 gb and they worked flawlessly. But they are in.mkv format.

Second that, I was initially very sceptical about updating with Odin as I didn't have the time to spare to research and fix things in case things went wrong, but I finally took the plunge yesterday. As long as you have the 3 button download mode working, you won't cause any permanent damage and you will get features/improvements much before Samsung will push it through Kies

Help in Reducing the lag on my SGS !

I am on Stock Froyo JP6 and I am thinking of Voodoo Lagfixing the phone, Its Recovery Mode 3e so can't accept unsigned update.zip.

My Question is

1. How do I Vodoo Lagfix ? (Noob Alert ! Please be as descriptive )

2. Is there anything better than Voodoo to reduce the lag ?

3. After I Voodoo Lagfix , If I there is a newer version of the Voodoo Lagfix How do I update to it ?

4. If I want to update to a newer version of the Stock OS through Kies will that be possible ? or if I want to update to a newer Custom ROM will the process be any different (Since I've Voodoo Lagfixed)

Thanks , any inputs much appreciated.

Let me tell u what idid

Battery charged 100pc

downloaded a clockwaork mod 2.0(please confirm the latest one)

It is a zip file

rename it to update.zip

place it into ur internal sd card but not inside anu folder but in root of internal sd card

then switch off phone

Then press vol up plus home key plus power key

Keep all three pressed till u see the galaxy s screen logo

leave all three

Now in the menu using the back and menu and volume keys select update.zip from sd card this will install the clockwork mod

Switch on ur phone

Now download any custom rom like docs or darky 7

Place the zip file again in ur internal sd card

Now follow same keys combination that i told above for installing cwm

Now in cwm menu select instal zip from sd card and then select the rom name u placed in the sd card

It will install ur rom safely in 5 mins

Bingo
