I remember thinking before smartpush might be OTA updates, or sycining facebook/daum friends or something, didn't look to important to me? Annoying though if its there sucking battery.
I've managed to get Nakyup downloaded now, deciding whether to go through with now or wait till I'm back in Korea, bit eager to try it out asap but need a quick step by step guide to make sure I've got everything backed up. Also never flashed a ROM and Kernel before, is it one then the other or both at the same time? I've read boot the rom first boot, wipe the cahce and then flash the kernel, but would it boot without the kernel installed (or is the kernel 'ontop' of the rom install wise?)
-On that, I was thinking if I have everything backed up though TitaniumBackup when I install TB on my Nakyup, it might install all of the preloaded crap I don't want anyway. I think I'll have to go through TB now and uncheck the things I don't want. Seems a bit long winded unless I'm missing something.

This is a step by step guy on how to do it.

You need to flash the ROM first and then flash the Kernel. I do those and then once it is all on there, I do the factory reset and make sure it is all smooth.
It will boot without a Kernel installed, so do not worry about that....Once you flash the ROM, your phone will boot automatically.
Im not too sure with the back ups....I dont worry about saving any SMS messages and all of my contacts and apps are backed up through my Google account. I just copy the pictures and videos through my PC so I do not lose those. I have only used Titanium for deleting bloat ware and other programs that I do not want, so I am not too sure how to use it for backing up, sorry.
Are there any other ways to post pictures on forums? It says to use the URL, and thats what I did (I used the dropbox) URL for the pictures, but they only stayed up for so long for some reason. They were showing on the thread for a few hours and then just decided to disappear....
awesome, had that guide (helped me get Tegrak on my phone) didn't know the process for ROM+Kernel but thats easy then 
Decided to wait another 2 weeks though before I put Nakyup on, took me a while to get my phone working here (India currently) so as it's kind of a lifeline whilst working going to leave it!
I looked into the TB situation, I was confusing 'user apps' and 'system apps' it won't restore all the system apps just the user ones, so need to make sure the SK bloatware doesn't come under system! But assume not as it;s not mentioned in this thread. Also the seamless google app backup is fairly swish too, had that after I deleted the cache last time, so pretty handy! I thought you could backup/restore SMS through Kies but it looks like you cant, good chance to dump them all and clean out the phone though really!
Played with an app called 'Screen Filter' today. It makes the screen darker than the 0% backlight setting, I always found even 0% too bright indoors, this helps! and quick to toggle via the widget for when going outdoors.

Wow, thats awesome!
I think I am going to buy Titanium....worth having around and will get to play around with it more.
Should make it easier when I do flash a new ROM.
Ill check out Screen Filter....I always have my screen set to 0%, so it should be helpful for sure!
I just found "Andross" for taking screen shots. Best one I have found so far, just set it to shake and can even leave it on for as long as you want.

got tired about flashing wrong rom's to m110s. some of them require a factory reset from recovery and that requires the home key (doesn't work for me). I'm going to disassemble the phone and try to solder the broken flex cable from the original buttons board using my replacement i9000 flex board. So i'll be keeping the original MCU and resistors but i'll solder the capacitive sensors from the i9000 flex board.
Pretty good occasion to check out the hardware layout of this phone. At first, the antenna placement is different, the casing is also different since m110s must also include that tv antenna. The display unit looks the same, i guess it fits a standard i9000 unit, however the display controller IS DIFFERENT. So, if you break your m110s display and replace it with a i9000 one, you will either achieve only partial functionality (displaying anything else then native 800x480 will fail) or it will not work at all. I can't test this "theory" but looking at how the display is linked to this controller, it's a fair guess.
I'll also look into the video out function, although m110s is supposed to.. not have one, as this is part of the cortex a8 SoC it must be implemented at chipset level. However there are some missing components that are supposed to signal the SoC that a video link is established. Other then this, the phone is perfectly capable of tv-out, but... lacks kernel support and the A8 chip doesn't know when to enable this option or not (no hardware detection).
The back case of the m110s contains an antenna array, i'll have to hook it up to some measuring equipment to see what it's supposed to do, the original i9000 doesn't have this.
For now, i must figure out how to solder some 8-10 tracks per sensor button on a space 3mm wide and with a track width of about 1/4mm. That sucks more that anything that ever sucked before...
PS: how did some dudes managed to kill this phone by flashing a wrong rom to it? This thing is like Rambo or Mell Gibson... it simply doesn't die. I always manage to recover it using a single usb cable and no special tools.

ill try to make some
actually the user name was the name of a rock band i've played in, some good years ago. In romanian it actually means fac demol = "i break stuff" - hopefully not the phone...

You're cool...hope to see more post from this thread. We can learn more from you.
Thanks
thanks for good words but actually i just got the phone, it's my first samsung since omnia i900 some years ago, i'm just figuring things around.
about my problem.. that should be the wackiest repair i've done this year (month.. a year is a long time, plenty for more gheto style repairs).
So.. my sensor buttons were dead, seems a flex cable problem, and i wanted to replace them, but m110s parts aren't compatible with i9000. I also cannot find a sensor flex cable for m110s so i decided to investigate things a bit. Both my sensor pads were ripped from the center button/flex assembly so no back and option keys. A solution must be developed.
Galaxy S devices use something called "capacitive buttons" "touch buttons" etc. It's my first phone that i disassemble and has these type of buttons, i previously owned a Htc Sensation but hated it and sold it before i had a chance to disassemble it. So, while disassembling the phone i found out that these buttons are in fact linked to some coils and aren't in any way "capacitive" but.. inductive in nature. 2 small coils sit just underneath the button area and react to the variances in their normally generated EM field, induced by fingers pressing onto them.
Here's a standard i9000 button board, the orange rectangles being the sensor button coils. These parts were both ripped from my flex cable, so that small black flex cable was broken.
So, since these were dead, i've decided to make 2 buttons of my own, based on the same principle. I've analyzed the pcb and looked for the input stage of the MCU - the area responsible for processing the signal from the coils. I then soldered 3 wires onto some resistors i found there. 2 of them are responsible for each button and one being the ground connection.
I then tried to figure out a form to wind a coil using these wires. Each signal wire was winded in a circular shape over the original place of the pads. The ground wire passes over each button area. The wire used is copper enameled 0.4 mm type. It's actually insulated by a thin layer of enamel.
First setup:
Pretty ugly looking ain't it ?
So I reassembled the phone and tested my new "buttons". They work, but the option button is waaaay too sensible. Placing my hand over that area (not touching the screen) triggers it. Back key works fine.
Second setup. Smaller coil, actually they act as antennas, external ring being ground connection, internal ring being signal wire. Option button setup is made by parallel wires in order to test witch setup variant is more efficient.
This setup was more successful but now the back button responds by tapping the device on it's outer bezel, that crome like ring around the screen. Pretty strange, i guess i must reposition it.
The back connections.
That's about what i managed to do today. Now i'm still in the repositioning stage of my repair, i'm trying to make my buttons to respond as much as the original sensors, not too sensible, same tapping position etc.
I guess, tomorrow at this same hour i will have finished this job and revived my phone. At present time, i don't think i'll place some new led's to light out the buttons, since i hated how their light tended to leak in the space between the screen and outer crome bezel. No led's for me.
Anyway, it was a fairly simple repair, although a more ghettostyle approach.

HAHAHAHA simple.......to some maybe, not for this kid!!
Must admit, this is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing the photos and the work that you are doing. I personally would never be able to do this or even know where to start if I tried.
Keep us updated!
Do you know where to get the current versions of each? I saw your previous post about Jacob's and Nakyup, but I haven't seen JC or Icarus in a while...
On a side note, make sure to check out TeamViewer (remote desktop control) and AppZorter (for stock TouchWiz Launcher; lets you resort/compact your apps)
ScreenFilter ROCKS it saves me TONS of battery life when doing simple stuff...
I've used only Nakyup - but it seemed to freeze from time to time - had to reboot the phone, don't know why.
Then reverted to stock gingerbread + tegrak kernel - i need tegrak and that voodoo thing to fix my audio since i find the stock settings to be a bit too quiet when listening on headphones.
Don't know about Jackobs, Icarus etc.. haven't tried them, i'll start to test some roms when i fix my phone. Aah, what's the latest tegrak kernel for m110s? I've used ver. 26. Also can tegrak kernel be used on other roms?

Honestly, I havent seen Icarus in a while either.....
I have posted latest Nakyup and Jacob's recently.
Here is the latest JC ROM that I have found....anyone know if JC is any good? Never used it before.
http://jctool.tistory.com/m/118
Tegrak Kernel is up to Build 30. It is for WA03 obviously
Only reason I am thinking about switching back to stock and Tegrak is for Voodoo, the sound really blows without Voodoo......
It can be used with other ROMS...I know that the new Jacobs ICS ROM supports Tegrak Kernel, but thats the only other one I know of.

Hello all,
after I tried to install Nakyup 4.3, I get to be happy about, Nakyup 4.3 ROM now using 1.4 Ghz OC with Theme Whitesky Center lock. very good and beautiful. and now I want to share how I use this ROM and there are also some screen shots
1. I installed M110S-Gingerbread-PDA-PHONE-movi-REV03-1531 VK22-USER.tar
2. after that I turned it off. entered into the system recovery partion do wipe and reset, reboot the system now, do not let all the running I unplug the battery and reinsert.
3. press the power button and home, go to donwload mode.
4. Nakyup_M110S_GB_VK22_G4.2_Turbo-rel.tar enter the PDA and start.
5. after entering the phone normal viewer. I came back into donwload mode
6. Nakyup_M110S_GB_VK22_G4.2_Kernel_origRGB-rel.tar enter the PDA and start again.
then your job is completed. you download a theme that live there like. and do your own OC.
I just got a little trouble when I do the settings in some applications of nakyup. because the Korean language. I do not understand the meaning of the text in an application in the show like SDFORMAT, THEMERUN, THEMESET, UNROOT, overclocked, APPBOOSTER. and others.
I am very grateful if anyone help me to change the words in the English language.
because with the application is the use of ROM to be very maximum performance.
The difference between Jacob's and Nakyup 4.3 Turbo is as follows:
Jacob's ICS 1.4
1. I combine the Maximum Extreme Overclock Tegrak OC 1:25 GHz with a minimum of 200 mhz Temp (26 'C)
2. application support for OC must use the change to Tegrak Kernel Ext4
3. based and Quadrant Advanced 1.7 that I use achievement scores only until 2300 + +
4. memory usage is very good. Themes can only use ICS only, if you want to be able to use different launcher. so the memory usage for other applications become larger and often slow.
Nakyup 4.3
1. Nakyup have an application that is used for setting the OC, EXT FORMAT, THEME, APPBOOSTER, and others. This is very helpful for the stability of the mobile phone itself.
2. Kernel Nakyup entered with a maximum of 1.5 GHz maximum. so that elections can be done with the use of OC 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz (course must pay attention to temperature hangphone itself). (see Figure)
3. based and Quadrant Advanced 1.7 that i use achievement scores only until 2800 + + (see picture)
that's what I can for for shared knowledge.
Thank you for all that has been in working and sharing together

done!
fixed my sensors and home buttons, phone is working fine now. Swapped the case with another one while at it, so that crome like bezel looks like new again.
Flashing Jacob's rom now...
I also think i'll be doing the wrong stuff again and flash some i9000 ICS rom just to see how native ICS runs on this phone. Just curiosity...
Since i'm also new to tegrak kernels, does the clockwork-like menu (that can be triggered when you start the phone by pressing home button) enable real device backup? For example, if i backup both data and system, will i be able to restore it later just like in htc phones clockwork recovery backup tool?

48efs problems and solutions
efs folder is found in your root of your Internal Phone memory, which contains encrypted information with regards to your phone identity, passwords, baseband etc
This folder can get corrupted or deleted when we Flash a custom rom...as many have experienced causing them to experience any of this
1) Corrupt or incorrect ( FAKE) IMEI number. (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
2) No Network and Signal ( calls, sms and mobile Internet not working)
3) No base Band or Unknown Baseband
4) Sim card lock missing
5) Undermentioned appearing in red on your desktop after phone boots up normally
HW: Not Active
BOOT: SHW-M110S Vj04.1944
PDA:SHW-M110S Vj04.1944
Phone: M110S.VI27.0941.ST
6) Undermentioned appearing when you try to boot
E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E: check_selective_file:Can´t mount /efs
7) Undermentioned appearing when you try to boot
E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
install_application_for_customer:Can´t mount /efs
copy application failed.
8) Undermentioned appearing when you try to boot
E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E: multi_csc: Can´t mount /efs
Multi-csc applied failed.
9) Undermentioned appearing when you try to boot
E: failed to mount /dev/block/stl3 or
E: failed to mount /dev/block/bml3 corrupted
Hence DO YOU WANT TO RISK IT? by not making a backup of this important file , which can cause any of the above problems?
You guessed it, the solution is to backup BEFORE flashing anything .
How ?
Number of ways
1) S2 repair or Nitrility or GPS AIDS apps from google or all this
2) You can use an application Like EFS Pro developed by an XDA member lyriquidperfection
3) Or use a Root Explorer or any file manger with root permissions, to Zip it and save it in another location
4) Use ADB to copy to your SD card than move it to a safe location in your PC.
adb shell
su
cp -r /efs /sdcard/efs
exit
exit
Remedies for those who have a efs backup
If you Have a Backup and you want to restore it, this is one method
1) Download Root Explorer, or Xplore, or any root browser from Play Store and use it to
2) Search you internal SD card for sdcard/backup/efs or any other backup you have for your efs
3) Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 paste them (means overwrite existing files) into /efs in your Internal Phone memory
4) Fix permissions by Click on efs folder and keep it pressed to open the menu and click on permissions and set them to rw_r_r_ ( Owner = read & write - Group = read only and Others = Read only), after this Save using menu and exit using menu
5) Power down phone and reboot into recovery and wipe cache before rebooting phone to get back your original IMEI
Another method Here or you can use the restore function in the app that you used to back it up
If restoring the efs folder or you have a nv_data.bin backup but if you write nv_data.bin or .nv_data.bak it's being deleted on every boot, than follow this [GUIDE] how to get IMEI to stick across reboots to make it stick.
In the event you have Failed to SAVE it and now would like to solve these problems
Following remedies available for those who DO NOT have a Backup,
Download EFS Folders for modification and restoration My Android Collection
These methods had worked for some but not for others.
1) Flash a stable stock ROM preferably an earliest version
i9000 use JVU without repartition or JVZ or JPU ( Froyo)
M110S use Eclair DG 23
or
2) In recovery mode , wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Then reboot
or
3) Delete efs folder (by using root explorer), clear EFS (using Odin) and flashing a new ROM.
or
4) Replacing keystr file ( If missing) in efs > imei folder
or
5) For Unknown Baseband just install KIES and then connect Phone to it...
and now Baseband will be correctly detected
Final Solution:-
When NOTHING works and its going to drive you nuts, just walk down to your nearest Phone repair shop, find out how much they will charge for using their Riffbox/z3x/spt/octopus box to fix the IMEI, and it can be resolved in a few minutes when the problem is software related.
IF it is Hardware related than it could be due to base-band problem and may need an IC replacement to resolve.
to verify do the following test
type *#06# , and IF you get message "imei null" or imei starts by 0049XXXX or 00000 it should be resolved by software .
but IF nothing is shown when you type *#06#, that is a hardware problem or look at attached picture below. .
You can do a search on this forum to see the rest of the problems and remedies associated with EFS, but seriously ......DO YOU WANT THIS PROBLEM?
SO BACKUP and STORE your IDENTITY
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER BEFORE FLASHING

This file will be updated and linked to Pit Stop39[Noob Guide] Flashing and Recovery using Repair Kit on M110S
Flashing can brick your phone but is needed to upgrade your phone or root your phone.
So beware of the consequences arising out of using wrong firmware or incorrect flashing procedures or failing to observe requirements.
Requirements :-
1) PC or Laptop installed with samsung usb drivers
2) Use Only Odin3 version 1.70 (attached below) on your PC/Laptop
(later versions works but seem to have problem flashing Bootloader and gets stuck)
3) The latest Stock ROM (WF07) or custom ROM (only M110S ROMS) of your choosing
4) The Korean Galaxy S (SHW M110S) Note:- NOT OTHER MODELS OF GALAXY S
(you can download your software requirements from Pit Stop)
First and foremost you must UNDO any lagFix or partition you had made in your phone. Never wipe data if you had enabled Onenand Mode before! or you will end up in serious problems.
Second in order to Save your important files like efs folder /backups/Images/ downloaded game content etc, use a file manager and copy paste them to your external SD card and remove your external SD card for safe keeping or use USB Mass Storage mode to save them to your PC/Laptop and remove external SD card
Third you need to Format your Internal SD card by:- Touch Menu> settings> storage> unmount Internal SD card> Format and
you need to Factory reset the phone as well by:- Touch menu> settings> Privacy> factory reset + wipe SD card
Lastly Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>, You need to shutdown phone , boot-up into 3e recovery (press and hold Volume down + Home + Power) Here you need to wipe device as well as wipe partition and reboot.
Make sure you have more than 50% Battery Charge and Never interrupt Flashing process and also Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PCAgain check battery Level every-time before you start
Above are REQUIREMENTS , you MUST and HAVE to fulfill them for a clean and safe flashing process
Flashing Procedure :-
1) Shut down your phone and remove battery, press and hold power button for a minute than reinsert battery
2) Put your phone into download mode Like this (press home + power buttons)
3) run Odin, select the file (rom or kernel you wish to flash) under PDA
(do not tick or click any other button, restart odin if you made mistakes)
4) Connect USB cable to PC and wait for Odin com port to turn yellow Like this
(your phone should and must be recognized)
5) Press start and wait for the green PASS signal from ODIN Like this
(on a successful flash, to disconnect the USB cable)
Its all over in five seconds for a kernel and a few minutes for a Rom, IF there were no problems
6) Once your phone has rebooted and you are full of joy, shut down the phone again insert your external SD card and reboot by recovery mode (Volume down + Home + Power) Here you need to wipe device as well as wipe partition and reboot for the phone to function without complications.
Thats it, you are on the new firmware
But.. in download mode it may get stuck or fail to complete, thats when you need to
1) remove battery and reinsert
2) you may notice your phone going into upgrade mode Like this or BSOD Like this and cannot go into download mode
3) just run Odin (when you connect phone, Odin will recognize and turn yellow)
If not press Home + Power to enter download mode
4) Re-Flash again after making sure you had followed above procedure No. 3 to 6 , it should pass
In the event It failed again and again, you may need to use the repair kit to resolve this problem you can download Recovery guide or attached below

This post will be updated and Linked to Pit Stop post13Hi All,
I'm going to put this upfront, because it's more important than the FAQ. Though there names get repeated a bit in this post, a major credit goes to Koe & Appagom for providing a lot of know-how, testing, information sharing and answers to questions users have posted here. This thread wouldn't be half as valuable without them. They should probably consider getting donate links, as it's the popular thing to do around here anyways, and I'd surely give them a few 원 for some soju or their beverage/food of choice for enhancing my phone experience. If they do decide to do something like that, I'd encourage you to do the same if you've used their methods or have even delayed taking action until you saw and read about their successes, trials & tribulations before proceeding with anything risky.
Next important thing, please don't try to flash i9000 or any other SGS variant's firmware unless you are really prepared to experiment and fix your own problems.
I'm writing this because perhaps it will help us SHW-m110s users spread information and have a point of reference, perhaps even bookmark, to spread information specific to our phone. Many of our questions just get posted in the most recently replied to thread with the word "Korean" in it. Part of my goal will also be to provide an area that Korean users who speak little English will be able to post and have a discussion. I will start that process on my own and enlist help from others I know. Please feel free to contribute in any way you can in any of these areas.
With the Froyo update, I'd like to link to one of the more newsworthy and relevant development's due to increased system functionality we have at our disposal. Koe's guide on HowTo OpenVPN on the SHW-M110S (via StrongVPN and maybe others) can be found here Thanks KOE
By request, other links to other guides or important topics available on XDA (or elsewhere) for the Galaxy S series if you haven't already come across them or just need a point in the right direction will be posted here. So, please let me know if you feel there is some other required reading before the test:
[REF] BIG FAQ! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} {FW-Guide} [MUST READ!]
So, on with the FAQ/guide:
*please note, this is a highly work-in-progress thread and is meant to be supplemental to, not in place of, better, more refined guides featured in the I9000 board. I started to plan this about 24 hours ago but there continue to be questions asked out of place so I'm rushing this a bit
- Where can I find ROM "(insert name)"?
- How do I update my phone?
- Can I put a ROM from the i9000 or another SGS family on this device?
- What frequencies does the cellular radio operate on?
- Does that make this a world phone?
- What limited functionality have users experienced overseas?
- How do I use Voice search in Korean?
- What else is different from the I9000 and other versions of the SGS?
- How do I root my phone?
- Where is Samsung Apps/Samsung Apps store?
- Are there any other ways to download games in Korea?
- Does SK Telecom support OTA updates?
- How do I work the DMB tuner?
- Why aren't the Secret Codes aren't working?
- Can I change the SMS character limit from 80 to 160 characters?
- Can we get Social Hub on the phone?
- I want the boot animation, do you have it?
- This FAQ is terrible, but I have a question...
- Where can I find ROM "(insert name)"?
Koe seems to have kept a good list, here.
- How do I update my phone?
Download Kies 2.0 here > click on the magnifying glass to the right of "Kies" > click on the white button "Kies 다운로드" > run the file > install > important set your location (left box) to Korea (I assume this to be the default) and your language (right box) can be the language of your choosing.
- Can I put a ROM from the i9000 or another SGS family on this device?
This is one of those, 'if you have to ask...stay far far away questions'. Essentially you can come in here if you want a suggestion on what ROMs we might be using at the time, but no, for the love of God don't ask about i9000 or other device ROMs. If you know how to get yourself out of a pickle you wouldn't even need to ask, and if you try and fail you'll be asking us to get you out.
Right now most users are content with z4mod, though there are some Korean ROMs that will be brought up from time to time.
- What frequencies does the cellular radio operate on?
*To be updated*
- Does that make this a world phone?
XDA users have reported some phone functionality in Russia and the Philippines. And know specific carriers in the US that the phone may/may not be compatible with, and if this will work for users in the EU. It seems that most people, if they have the right APN information, have gotten working this in a variety of countries though there will be at least some U.S. carriers that aren't available and potentially other non-standard frequency users. Still, if I were living in another country I'd probably only get this from a distributor who I'd be able to get a refund from if I couldn't get it working - anything else and you're doing so at your own risk.
- What limited functionality have users experienced overseas?
User ulrauko has reported no data functionality on his device in Russia.
It is recommended to work with a local carrier to get APN information to enter into your settings in order to maximize phone functionality. Some users may continue to have 3G problems after this, it might be possible to check setting "data roaming" in wireless & network > Mobile networks, but it'd be wise to check with your carrier to see what happens if you end up roaming onto another carriers towers.
Users precious_mew has reported that he can't use MMS due to his carrier while chester_go has reported an inability for his phone to see his phone number requiring him to edit his phone number (to any number, not necessarily his actual number) to send SMS without any problems receiving SMS. Since then, Chester has been able to "program" his SIM by using the following method:
- How do I use Voice search in Korean?
Voice Search can be changed in settings>voice & input>voice recognition settings>lanugage...
- What else is different from the I9000 and other versions of the SGS?
For now, I assume that we have different cellular radios. Also, we have a T-DMB tuner. We were given different stock software, originally missing Swype and a few other things, since then we have received Swpye through a firmware upgrade. We do utilize different firmware for our SHW-m110s than the typical international versions.
- How do I root my phone?
Appagom's Evolving, and well well-supported, Post.
- Where is Samsung Apps/Samsung Apps store?
The Samsung Apps store in Korea is a subset of SK Telecom's store, I highly doubt this would be accessible overseas as I think it's SIM card dependent. There you will find a full version of Asphalt for a free download. Please note, some games, even western games such as Farm Frenzy only have Korean language menu, while Asphalt has both English and Korean. I'd also guess there is no 24 hour return policy, but any confirmation would be great, and I have to presume that charges will be added to your monthly phone bill. *As of Froyo SK has partially, and poorly, integrated part of their(?) app store into the marketplace in a separate tab called "SKT"
- Are there any other ways to download games in Korea?
Being rooted will allow you to run MarketEnabler and fake a SIM code to be in one of a few countries. I don't think anyone on this thread knows the legality of such actions, so do so at your own risk.
*Note, as of Nov 15th, the Froyo update fast web installer is not functional. Will update if there is a change and I remember. Also, see Koe's guide to getting VPN working which can give you access to location restricted apps.
I hold out hope that fast web installer for AppBrain will be updated to work on the SGS, there are reports that some items such as GoogleEarth can be installed in this manner where users can't find the app in the marketplace.
There are also always "other ways" amongst them there are 3rd party sites such as slideme.org where you can find both paid and free games (some of which might not be available in the marketplace due to developer preference and/or marketplace restrictions). Slideme will work direct on the phone and you can also use it on your PC to download and sideload apps. As a matter of fact, games can be found by developers here at XDA which can be sideloaded. If you root your phone you will, hopefully, be able to use market enabler to sign as though you aren't in Korea (use wifi + airplane mode) and be able to download games directly from the marketplace. Additionally there are always the less legitimate ways.
- Does SK Telecom support OTA updates?
User akbk84 reported to me in August that he did receive an OTA udpate. However, this was weeks after I had received my first, and I was perhaps on my 3rd or 4th update by then.HeShe (my apologies) did, however, receive the most current update. I do not know what SK/Samsung plan going forward, perhaps just critical updates will be OTA. I personally have, and I kind of recall reading someone else might've, received an OTA camera update.
Update: In the t-store there is an app called T-Upgrade, we believe it is supposed to give OTA updates to the phone. After downloading it didn't help me get the newest FW, so I'll post further information when I hear of a success story.
- How do I work the DMB tuner? The DMB tuner works best with the DMB antenna extended. Extend the DMB tuner, located on the top right of the phone above the power button.
- The secret codes were changed, or removed from, or broken during, an August firmware update. For now, we will keep a running list of working secrete codes here:
SKT Admin menu (general settings, such as: network, system, sms, etc.)
thanks koe1974
- Can I change the SMS character limit from 80 to 160 characters?
This seems to be a common question posed from people living outside of Korea. Handcent defaults to 160 characters before changing the message to an MMS, how this will affect your message setting and carrier costs have never been verified so please do some sort of conclusive test and update us. Within Korea, MMS/SMS have the same pricing and free allotment, so it doesn't seem to be necessary to have the 160 character difference, also I haven't heard anything about how this might affect the messages and how SKT would deal with and treat extra long SMS messages.
- Can we get Social Hub on the phone?
As far as I know, no one has successfully extracted and loaded Social Hub onto our phones. - I want the boot animation, do you have it?
Yes, please go to this post for more information.
- This FAQ is terrible, but I have a question...
Please ask, provide better answers, do whatever to help us improve our SHW-m110s experience.
