Is there an All In One guide for this phone?

[sixaxis94]

Okay, so my dad had bought a fit a few months back and he's sick of how slow it is and how unstable the stock is...

I'm not a newbie when it comes to this but I've only messed with my Motorola defy and after some looking around here it seems like things are a bit different for the fit (apart from rooting which is very simple)

So I basically want the most stable rom (oc'd as well hopefully) and a small guide to get there from an untouched stock rom

Any help? Any help appreciated

oh crap!! I was scanning through this forum on my phone, and I forgot about it before creating this thread.. my bad :\

alright then, I'll flash that, but I need some instructions from start to finish

I'll root it first using superoneclick..
then what?
On my Defy I had to install CWM and 2ndInit because of the locked bootloader, but I'm not sure how it happens on this phone.

(on a side note, I'm quite surprised by the level of activity on this forum
Didn't expect the Fit to get any attention over here)

edit: I'm referring to this thread for installing CWM, but the instruction make no sense to me

First of all upgrade to Gingerbread via Kies/ODIN.
Then, install CWM via ODIN.
Download any ROM and flash via CWM.

Didn't understand the french thread but I did have a look at yours. Great work with all the videos... sadly the only video missing is the one for CWM
and I just can't understand tjstyle's guide
is there any other guide floating around?

Is this really necessary? I don't wanna download an entire GB rom just for CWM
Isn't there an app or something for this? I don't remember how I did it for my phone but it was quite straightforward

EDIT: I just looked up how to install CWM on my phone and it's a simple app from the play store. Isn't there anything similar for this phone?

You've got Froyo atm? If yes, then you do need to install GB first

don't use rom manager... it'll brick the phone

 

[sixaxis94]

Okay then.. I'll do that first thing when my dad gets back.
also, will this work for custom recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623761
Is it reliable? The thread's only a page long, so i'm not sure

So finally, just to make sure I've got all the steps in order (before a moderator deletes this thread!!)
1. Install GB through Kies
2. Root the phone using SuperOneClick
3. Use ODIN for CWM (what exactly is ODIN? is it an app or something?)
4. Download ROM and GAPPS and flash it through CWM

That's it right? No messing with kernels or SBFs??

Well fit got a very simple system ...
no bootloader problem nothing locked ...neither the recovery is integrated with kernel !!

so to get a custom rom...
jus upgrade to a Gb rom.(Download a firmware from sammobile.com and flash via ODIN)
Using Odin(a Windows Tool) Flash the Cwm .
then using CWM flash as many custom roms as you want !!

 

[sixaxis94]

well, that's good to know.. but I have a problem

I do remember seeing Kies when my dad got my phone, but right now, it's not showing up on the app drawer. And the Play Store isn't showing up either

Almost no apps were installed since we got the phone, and it's only been used for calling and the occassional texting

Any idea what's gone wrong? And how do I proceed with the flashing now?

Samsung Kies is a program for the PC.

Oh right.. my bad
Not that it matters if I do manage to fix it up with a custom rom by the end of the night but do you know why the play store isn't showing up?

 

[Aspire]

maybe it's still called the android market?

Hmm I had made a guide, just for this same exact thing...
Its stickied in the general section...
Here it is

[sixaxis94]

haha, but nope.. can't see it as either of them.
it's okay though, since my dad's probably never heard of it yet anyway.
I'll probably keep having problems through the setup tonight :\
Hope you guys don't sleep too soon

Oh great!! Exactly what I was looking for
I guess I'll just follow the steps on this instead of installing GB first.. no problem, right?

EDIT: Seems like according to the guide, you need GB to install CWM.. oh well then

If you do read the instructions carefully, you'll find that gingerbread is a pre-requisite.

Yup, that's why its there in the first place...
Though read through the whole thing...even if you know stuff...things might be a little different...
