Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (Singapore) DXJPA (Froyo) ROM is out!


Yeap! For all Southeast Asia Galaxy S users, upgrade your firmware to Android 2.2 Froyo now! :)

Before you upgrade,
  1. Backup all your important data, e.g. Contacts, Memo, although your data will stay intact with Kies upgrade. Just precaution.


This is what you can do to upgrade to Froyo using Kies:
  1. (Important!) If you installed any Lag fix before, e.g. "OneClickLagFix 2+", undo them.
  2. (Optional) Get the 3 buttons DOWNLOAD MODE working.
  3. (Important!) Update to the latest Samsung Kies, refer to my post here. 
  4. Install and run Kies.
  5. Follow the steps in the Upgrade wizard. The process takes about 5 minutes.
  6. Done!
If you prefer to flash manually using ODIN, download the firmware from this thread, and follow this post




If you unsure or whether to upgrade or not, these are the few advantages you'll get:
  1. (So far) No more lag that you experienced in Eclair 2.1.
  2. Added "sensor aiding" (to enhance positioning and save power using sensors) in Location settings.
    • Basically means better+Faster GPS support compared to Eclair 2.1.
  3. Able to use Froyo 2.2+ applications.
    1. Chrome-to-phone extension in Google Chrome. (Not available in Sg yet).
    2. updated Gmail App for Froyo 2.2.
