Quick & Dirty: My experience with the leaked I9000XWJV1 Beta-ROM for Samsung Galaxy S
March 15th, 2011

The I9000XWJV1 was installed with Odin 1.7 and the 512.pit file. The first look & feel was very nice. I looked around to find out whats new in this ROM. First of all the new status icons and the strikethrough between the gingerbread design and Samsungs own TouchWiz design.
First of all I tried to get it rooted. For Android 2.3.2 you have to use the SpeedMod Kernel for the SGS. You have to wait 5 to 10 minutes to get the new android market app (google remote installation). Samsung is still using the RFS file system. This was annoying me. So I tried to convert from RFS to ext4. To be continued…
Noticed Bugs
- Sometimes Odin 1.7 stucks. Try again…
- The new ROM seems to be faster than older versions using the cranky Eraser File System (RFS)
- Maybe when the display is turned off and you try to turn it on the display will still be black. You have to reset the battery.
- Some applications stuck (e.g. WhatsApp, SMS, E-Mail)
I will keep you in touch.
Cheers.
