Ok did not know that, but since you have a capable processor what does the revision of the 2.2 has to do with if it is able to install or not? If you have it running now it will run with this JPA i guess.

Why do you think it wont work? if its Froyo 2.2 it will work.... of course it will install flash....

Flash has not yet been available on Froyo builds for I5800. And I don't think it will be, as Adobe's site mentions the hardware requirements for Flash are an ARM7 processor, while I5800's is an ARM6 processor. So not sure if we'll ever get to see it on our phones.

Try opening the site 'gamespot.com/pc' on the phone browser as well as on the computer. If it works as it does on the computer, Flash is working on your phone, although I think it can't..

Thats right but in august adobe said they will be supporting some new arm11(armv6) processors. Thats why i still have a hope. Google for 'flash on arm11'.

    Hi everybody,
    I hope that some admin will open an official section for this Android mobile phone, in the meantime I want to share some informations.

    Info for 5801 users at the bottom: read it carefully before do anything :)

    LATEST FIRMWARE:
    I5800XXJPD for I5800 EUROPE (February 2011) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)

    LATEST FIRMWARE:
    I5800XXJPM for I5800 EUROPE (February 2011) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)




    Seems that this firmware doesn't require lagfix and gps fix :)

    Instructions for upgrading: see below :)

    [size=+2]HOW TO ROOT/UNROOT (alternative method):[/size]

    Method 1: Simply use z4root. z4root it's an app you install from the market or by side loading, that has a single button that will root your device.
    You can find all infos about z4root here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953 This application is available directly from the market. Search for 'z4root' or click here for .apk

    Method 2: Simply use SuperOneClick. More info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 Direct Download CLICK HERE,



    [size=+2]HOW TO ROOT (old method):[/size]

    Actually it's possibile to root I5800 using "One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC" that you can find here. I used the OSX version.

    WINDOWS VERSION
    1. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
    2. For Windows x86 and x64 systems make sure that the Samsung Drivers are installed. You can get them here.
    3. Extract the contents of GalaxyS_I9000_One-Click_Root.rar to a folder.
    4. Connect your phone to your PC via the USB cable and launch the file "Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root" file.
    5. Based on the version of the Operating System you are running, click the "One-Click Root 2.1" button for Eclair or "One-Click Root 2.2" for Froyo Warning: Not Both!!. This will launch a command prompt follow the instructions in the CMD window.

    OSX VERSION
    0. Copy root.zip to your SD root and rename it as update.zip (you'll find this inside the package)
    1. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
    2. Connect the phone to your computer.
    3. Eject both the internal and external SD card from your computer and turn off USB storage in the notification area.
    4. Click one of the buttons depending on what you want to do
    5. After the phone has rebooted into recovery select "apply sdcard:update.zip", use volume buttons and home button to select.

    Superuser app issue: Found out the issue with Superuser App crash. If you install new superuser 2.3.1 the app will crash if you click on the Info Tab. The first Time you One-Click Root you will need to run something as superuser which will add an item the superuser will track then the Info Tab will not Force Close and will display details of the tracked app requesting root access. New Superuser bug but easily ignored.

    [size=+2]HOW TO UNROOT: (old method)[/size]

    WINDOWS VERSION
    1. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
    2. For Windows x86 and x64 systems make sure that the Samsung Drivers are installed. You can get them here.
    3. Extract the contents of GalaxyS_I9000_One-Click_Root.rar to a folder.
    4. Connect your phone to your PC via the USB cable and launch the file "Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root" file.
    5. Based on the version of the Operating System you are running, click the "One-Click Root 2.1" button for Eclair or "One-Click Root 2.2" for Froyo Warning: Not Both!!. This will launch a command prompt follow the instructions in the CMD window.

    OSX VERSION
    0. Copy unroot.zip to your SD root and rename it as update.zip (you'll find this inside the package)
    1. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
    2. Connect the phone to your computer.
    3. Eject both the internal and external SD card from your computer and turn off USB storage in the notification area.
    4. Click one of the buttons depending on what you want to do
    5. After the phone has rebooted into recovery select "apply sdcard:update.zip", use volume buttons and home button to select.

    [size=+2]GPS FIX (method 01)[/size]

    I5800 has many trouble with gps fix. To solve this just change NTP server in gps.conf located in system/etc. The simple way to do this is using FasterFix that you can download here: http://www.bernardbekker.nl/Files/FasterFixv92.apk
    Attention Root is required!
    Change NTP depending on your location. For a full list of NTP server visit http://www.ntp.org/.

    You can create also a gps.conf file like this:
    NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
    XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
    SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
    SUPL_PORT=7276

    and change NTP_SERVER with the one of your area.

    To push gps_conf in system/etc you can also use ADB (you'll find it into root/unroot package):

    From terminal wrote:
    Code:
    adb shell
    and then type:
    Code:
    su
    remount rw
    cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
    reboot

    Another suggestion:

    If I start gpssetup2 and close it immediately then the GPS works perfectly, retreiving up to 9 satellites in a few seconds, and provide localisation on Google Maps immediately :eek:

    You can start it with the following code : *#*#1472365#*#*

    [size=+2]GPS FIX By Octy: Fully Automatic (method 02)[/size]

    Octy makes an application that fix gps problems on 5800 and works great! You'll find this app for free on the market, just search for any of these keywords: octy, GPS optimisation or GPSopt

    Hi,

    I've try to find a solution to the GPS issue on my i5800.
    To do so I've developped an application that configures the GPS
    to make it work correctly (if it is not enabled it request the
    activation through the settings before).

    The application is still experimental but works very well on
    my i5800. The GPS work very well after.

    I put it on android market for free. You can search it with one
    of the following keywords: octy, GPS optimisation or GPSopt.


    If you want you can test it on your i5800/i5801.
    I'm interested by your feedbacks.

    If the application make GPS work better for a significant
    number of people, I will upgrade it to a better one with a
    more intuitive and beautiful interface.

    I personally tested it and IT WORKS! GpsFix in few seconds :)

    Great octy :)

    GPS FIX

    None replied any fix 4 GPS??

    The following settings worked for me-
    (do keep note of default values, in case you wish to revert back to your original settings)

    From your phone dialer type *#*#1472365#*#* on eclair or *#*#3214789650#*#*
    on froyo This will bring up the secret GPSSetup2 application.
    Settings\Parameter Settings\Address\Server Type: 1x MPC
    Settings\Parameter Settings\Position mode: option3
    Settings\Fix Request Settings\Session Operation: Standalone
    Settings\Fix Request Settings\Server Option: Local
    gpsOne XTRA\Xtra Enable: Enable

    Next, save the settings by exiting and then turn off and on your phone.

    I was able to get a fix with about 10 satellites within 20 seconds after this change!

    I guess people do not use Applanet??

    You can download paid apps for free, which looks just like the market app.

    There you can download all the apps you can find on market, for free.

    I use Titanium backup paid version, launcher pro plus etc..

    just for your information~ ;)

    Download .apk, and install! (find it on google for yourself)
