Galaxy S fre3 2.57

Hi guys, welcome to Galaxy S fre3. This ROM is 'Wizless' in that it doesn't have the Samsung launcher or widgets, and tries to remove as much bloatware as possible while maintaining a fully functional ROM.

Kernel now ADBs with root access by default
and more!
7/24/12-1.61:
Tweak CPU scaling slightly to eliminiate lag when turning on the screen. Let me know how it works. I may need to loosen the frequency a bit more.
Enable dual core always when charging, but back to defaults when on battery.
Remove "Hot Boot" option as it apparently either doesn't work, or freezes the phone until it works. Besides, it's not a very "graceful" way of shutting down the system. So, I guess it's now considered a 3-in-1 reboot menu.
Renamed the power menu option "Download" to "Download/Odin Mode"
Updated kernel to support bootanimation.zips
Added ICS bootanimation
Added back universal search from LF9
Default kernel governor is now MSM-DCVS.
7/28/12-1.7:

Updated to LG8 kernel
Added "all rotations" per request (Thanks fergie716)

Removed CRT animations per request (Vdubtx) and because they didn't properly work with the new surfaceflinger in LG8.
8/7/12-1.75:
Added browser debug menu by default.
Removed ContextAwareService (that is responsible for the headphone/headset icon and popup when inserting one. Also, FCs sometimes)
Removed mms server settings from messages. Causes server changing randomly. EDIT: Just kidding, it's purely cosmetic.
Updated 70cputweak to switch back to OnDemand governor as the current "msm-dcvs" governor stays at 1.13GHz almost all of the time, degrading performance slightly but more in benchmarks.
Added back "hot boot" option, but renamed to "Quick Reboot". It works, just not like I thought it would. This also fixes "Download/Odin Mode"
Odexed Framework.
Fixed data roaming issue.
Enabled long press volume to skip tracks when the screen is off.

So I flashed this and all went well but the superuser I already had before was version 3.1.3 so it automatically downloaded it along with my other apps. Went to use titanium backup and got a root permissions error. I'm assuming I'm now unrooted? Suggestions! Thanks for the rom by the way!

Yeah. I just realized that the new superuser has some strange issues with this phone.

Well, by Superuser I should have said binary, which looks like you're still running the old one, which is good.

Tried to install Titianum and SU would deny root access. Reflashed ROM and same issue again. I didn't update SU or touch it anyway. Thanks

Hmm...can you try opening Superuser and requesting the binary update a few times?

How would I update the binary for Superuser?

See in your screenshot where it says tap to check for updates?
