Darkys rom on Samsung Galaxy S

PogMoThoin · 14-05-2011 1:18pm

Just preparing myself here, I have everything backed up and am disabling lagfix atm. I'm going with odin JVH and will install the sensation theme (I use launcher pro). Any tips before I start?

Is`nt Swype left out of that?
Or did you flash the CWM one as well?

Yeah it is left out. I just joined the beta and downloaded swype from there.

And as for tips. None really, its pretty easy. backup everything and then flash. Takes no time to flash it really. I really like the gingerbread red theme. But I like the fact that the sensation theme modifies things such as the dialer and the music player.

I didn't uninstall launcher pro before I did it. Didn't seem to make a difference.

Just go to the swype website and then look at the beta section and sign up.

Let me know what the sensation theme is like on ficeto.

I`m reading through some of the posts on Darky`s forum and see what people are saying about it, all looks for so far.....but once I flash it I`ll go to Insanity, when v10 is final, I might try it then...how about you?

Edit: This was said by one of the dudes there....Odin 1.7 sucks bigger balls than TW4 lol.. i always use 1.3 never had an unrecognised phone or a failed flash.. and i flash at least twice a day lol...I take it you used 1.7 to flash and had no problems?

Edit Edit: Yeah it seems 1.7 should not be used, 1.3 is recommended...

I used Odin v1.3 with no issues

Ya. Don't install the Sensation theme. After a while any time you open the dialler it will close again on you. You won't be able to make a call.
Happened me and a lot have reported that issue on the Sensation thread

That was happening me too on Darkys. It is such a nice theme though!! Probably the nicest out there.

lewis · 14-05-2011 1:40pm

I`m on page 40 of the thread, lol I`m not sure if I can go on any more, but I`m glad I read what I read, I don`t understand why Odin 1.3 is`nt in place of 1.7 in the OP?

Shít, too late, just rebooting after installing it.

Can I just flash another?

I agree. It's the nicest theme. But the dialler closing issue is a huge flaw. Whats the point in having a phone that you can't make a call on!!
Gotten well used to GB red now though. Like it a lot.

Ya. I think you can jush flash straight over but In case of any clash I just wiped cache and dalvik cache in CWM before flashing new theme. That way you know your getting a clean install

Does anyone know how to backup WiFi passwords. There are a few places I go with secured wifi and after each flash I have to go get the password and re-enter manually. Pain in the @ss

Sorry. Just realised that I can do that with Titanium Backup

Voodoo Control app says I have Kernel Driver Version 8.
I just thought that meant that I had Voodoo sound v8

I should have slapped up the Swype.apk I used, it went it no problems,

I've been away from custom ROMs for a while due to getting a job and not having as much time to mess around with them.

Currently on Darkys V9.5 and Dark_Core1.o

Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to go next? Had a look at DarkyRom.com but there is way more activity in the Beta releases rather than the stable.

Cheers.

Darky took time out and the Darkys rom has been a little messed up, latest has some bugs, most are sticking with rc5.

I only flashed from 9.5 yesterday, what most of here are doing is just flashing Ficeto's JVH base rom with Odin and then a theme with CWM and not bothering with Darkys at all.
