- NOTE: The Samsung Today screen is offset from the top, showing the background from any previous screen. This is a Samsung issue.

[Guest c3p9]

Hi Gary,

first of all thanks for the firs 6.5.x JB3 ROM. Seems master kstan has company under the Cookers Olympus <_<

I'm currently using kstans 6.5.5 JA5 UL Timebomb patched and I have a few questions:

1) Is JB3 still faster as people are mentioning under Secanys thread even using 6.5.x?

2) Is Smart Memo included?

3) When using Samsungs dialer can you see a scroll bar on the right or is everything normal (this is a bug in kstans ROM)?

4) Can you send/receive MMS normally?

5) Did you keep Samsung's crappy launcher?

6) How is the GPS FIx time on this ROM?

7) Did you also changed Pagepool to 8Mb on this one?

Thanks in advance for the support and for sharing your great work with us!!!!!

1. I think it is a matter of perspective - I think it is faster.

2. Yes.

3. Yes, but it is very narrow - width-wise, that is. Can change width through registry.

4. Yes, have already tried it.

5. Did not remove it.

yeah thats a major problem with his builds, i wonder what the issue is. As i mentioned in his other thread i changed the pagepool to 12MB, 16MB 18MB and 20MB all have the same results of the omnia hanging. Oddly though 16MB and up the phone would not freeze anymore but still would not sync with mobile center and WMP.

3. To change the width of the scrollbar:

To change the scroll-bar width – open your registry editor and go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\

Then, Adjust the following values:

cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)

cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)

3) Soft-reset

Extras:

cxHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 20)

cyVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 20)

Hi Gary,

Currently I'm using kstans 6.5.5 JA5 UL Timebomb patched, and my device dessting is as follow:

PDA: I8000NXXJA5

CSC: I8000XSOIJ2

Phone: I8000DXIJ1

Can I flash your ROM for PDA part only? the phone and CSC remain the same. Is there any conflict if the PDA become JB3, and CSC remain IJ2 and Phone remain IJ1?

thanks

I get the offset issue on the Samsung Widget screen as well. This rom does fix a problem I had with JA5 where the vibrate will continue after a call is connected and the other side hears the buzzing sound. Many thanks to the author of the Rom.

It has to do with how the modules are relocated when building the ROM.

I use the default relocation when using Wes58's RomTool.

Wes found that by relocating some of the modules to slot 0, it fixed the problem.

Not sure how that affects available memory.

You're welcome. <_<

[Guest PeterTW]

You're welcome. <_<

I also have unusual behaviour where the screen doesn't lock when the standby button is pressed. After putting the phone in standby, pressing the button again brings me back to the original screen rather than the lock screen. This is problematic cos i keep the phone in my pocket. Is that because I dibn't flash the eboot (JA5) or just a feature of 6.5.5?

Just tried the Samsung Widget screen again.

Offset is ok. No previous screen shows at the top.

The background goes all the way to the taskbar.

The Samsung lock screen has been disabled.

To enable it go to:

Samsung Settings\Display and Light\Lock Screen

From there you can re-enable it.

[Guest jkgtan]

Seem like I just cannot flash Gary's ROM.

I just get a blank screen after initial start up alignment and hang there.

Same situation flashing JB3_6.5 and JB3_6.5.5.

Now total lost where went wrong.

Has anyone had trouble extracting the file? I've downloaded the files twice, but when I double click on the .zip, click extract then go through the wizard, I get a message telling me that the zip folder is invalid or corrupted.
