Darky 9.5 flash tutorial
Credits to this rom goes to de darky team http://www.darkyrom.com

Im just a long time user of this rom, have tried many others up until ICS and allways get back to darky rom, maynly because its rock stable, everything works, its fast enough and it has call recording working perfect.

I want to share this awsome rom, that i consider to be the best there is, for people that want a fully stable 100% working rom with call recording.
when i have some time i will post a video showing off some stuff in the rom.

Enjoy

Download package with froyo js8 firmware, kernel, Darky 9.5, etc all you need to get this rom working on your phone.

WARNING
Before flashing check if you have keys installed or samsung usb drivers, and keys must be allways closed when using ODIN.

thxs u for share such good ROM.
I follow ur instructions and it works great.
but I have a problem, when I unplug the battery charge, the circular battery icon become 97% not 100%, how to fix that?

Just like any rom you got to give it some time, when you have a couple of cycles of battery charge and discharge it will be 100% when you unplug.

Also make sure you unplug the cable asap when its 100%....3 to 5 cycles and should be fine.

Good luck

Hi,

When I follow your procedure up to step 10, it finishes instantly and ODIN says "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". Any idea? :O

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

As it turns out, I didn't have any Samsung drivers installed. I downloaded the installer from samsung.com, it detected and installed the composite driver and after restarting ODIN, it found a device on 'COM6', working now

Good that you solved it, ill post a warning on the top so people know they must have keys or samsung usb drivers.

My extensive reading brought me here and this looks like a friendly place so here goes.

I'm considering trying Darky 9.5 specifically for the Call Recording.

Q 1: Can I simply extract the Phone.apk from Darky v9.5 and use it in DarkROM v10.4.2, or my current stock JW1 ROM?

Q 2: If I move to Darky ROM can I re-use the (stock) KG3 baseband/modem as it is for Canada?

Q3: As my sig shows, I am (at present) on stock JW1 + stock KG3 modem, + Semaphore kernel. Do I need to flash back to full stock KG3 or JW1 before proceeding? I use Odin.

Thank you!

Q1 Not possible, call recording only works on froyo based roms, DarkyROM v10.4.2 is based on Gingerbread.

Q2 If you move to Darky 9.5 you can use froyo compatible modems, so check if that one is compatible with 2.2.1 froyo versions.

Q2 if you want to flash darky 9.5 just follow my guide above, exacly as i say, you can be using any rom atm so doesnt matter, the guide is valid independently of the rom you are using because flashing with odin will erase all and install a js8 base.

Good luck hope you enjoy..call recording rulez ;P

Hey, this rom works great but I have one problem. The wi-fi won't work... I've tried the ad-oc one and the original one. Wifi is working fine though because my laptop is connected to it. I've tried forgetting it and reconnecting etc. But no luck. It says its connected but no data transfer. Any suggestions?

Never had a non working wifi in any rom, so ill try to help just gessing logicaly.
Try to see if the wifi works in another router, go to a friends house, if its not working i think either you did something wrong in flashing steps, or the wifi is broken at a hardware level.
Sry i cannot be of more help good luck.

Thanks for the clear reply!
Not sure I want to go back to Froyo. Is there any possibility for Call Recording with GB ROMs?

Do you know if the Call Recording is dependent on the Kernel, as there are market Apps that can do it, but not the one I was using, at least not with Semaphore 2.5?

I think there are some market apps that can record in GB roms not sure, i tryed some long time ago and no app worked, but it can only record with phone mic so you only hear your voice...maybe turning phone loud speaker on can be possible to record the other side also...but the quality might be from really really bad to even worst then that , if you want crystal clear call recording must be on froyo.

So if you really want and need call recording must be on this rom, best froyo you can get...for me call recording is a very handy feature that i cannot afford to not have.
