ATTENTION: This is exactly the same way to flash any other custom samsung rom.
You can't flash with this procedure roms like CM7 MIUI AND ALL OTHERS ROMS BASED ON CM7.

In first procedure in recovery (vol up + power + home), DON'T do a factory reset !
First, with repartition in Odin everything should be clean and second a factory reset seems to remove "sim toolkit" app and at next boot you'll be stuck at "Unlocking sim card" step.

Please, edit this tutorial or add "sim toolkit" app in the rom.

what's wrong with it?

i followed it to the letter except the factory reset in recovery (for the causes Wendigogo already mentioned) and everything is working fine.

I am using a Galnet Twooey III (2.3.5) with Gingerbread bootloaders.
Do I need to go back to Froyo bootloaders?
Or the only thing to do is just to flash the CGR v79 using CWM?

Hi,
currently I am using v77 with darkcore 2.9 that matches jvq.
what is the procedure that I need to follow to install v79?
install v79 from cwm-> replace kernel to darkcore 3.1?
or install stock jvr->replace core to darkcore 3.1-> install v79 from cwm-> replace core?

or any other solution?
thanks a lot!

Just flash it from cwm, than flash the JVR compatible kernel of your choice

FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final - how to install

Hello

I have an samsung galaxy i9000 with
Gingerbread 2.3.3: JV9 - JVO - JV7

I downloaded the file
FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final: CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v77_I9000-I9000T-I9000M.zip

Lets try it...

 

[jodahush]

After installation

This is a GREAT ROM.
I am really happy with it.
Very awesome.
Everything works fine!
And my i9000 has bekomme even faster, so I can underclock for saving battery.

Keep up the good work.

 

[jodahush]

Finally after all joy of this mod I have some suggestions.

I am using the version v77.
When trying to apply the battery mods or the blue theme, the phone loops while talking to the SIM card. Only way out, to restore my backup.
There might be the possibility, that I did not read enough about the battery mods, however, my knowledge of spain is zero.
Another question. I like the gel type style of buttons, as shown in gingercriskelos adress tab. I themed a lot for nokia. Would it not be nice to use this kind of tabs (buttons with gel effect) for the selected tab at any modus?

 

[jodahush]

dark side of dark core

I am happy with v77. My prob. unfortunately i used a ext4 and forgot to reset!
When I saw v79 I tried it.
Install ZIP from SD Card.
I did not consider, that another kernel was included: Darkcore.
I end up with the astronaut.
All my cwm backups became unusable.

So I went for a clean gingerbread install and put v77 on top again. So I lose my product code.

Why didnt you stay with the old architecture, so that users can follow upgrades easily with cwm zip without wipe.

best regards
jodahush

 

[jodahush]

not much movement in this thread anymore. People moves to v79

Just want to mention, that I can install battery and theme mod now.

My problem was the ext4 lagfix i used before.

I am interested to know, how those mods works with darckcore, since this thig is allways lagfixed. (v79)

Criskelo seems to move to Galaxy S2. I hope somebody continue his great ROM

 

[mindless666666]
