REQUIREMENTS : GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADER
This a stripped down, patched and stabilized version of Perseus X2 based on 2.3.6
The kernel is Didy Mudjeri ‘s mixbeta config based on the Perseus X .(Compiled by Him )
This is not mixbeta3 kernel btw (which was based on Perseus 2).It’s stripped down Perseus X2 .
This is a rfs ROM .
Based on 2.3.6 ,it has all the features of 2.3.6
Additional support for init,swap and zram retained .Also ext3 and ext4 are fully supported (Link2SD compatible)
Shell rooted .
Some binaries are required to run system init properly
Translation :
Link2SD wont require two reboots to work .
You can use whatever a2sd you want since no default app2sd is present .
Remember you can use either DT a2sd ,Link2SD or mad2sd at one time .
Clock is unlocked till 800Mhz . Above 728Mhz ,it is dependant on phone .
Regular governors are included only
The apps have been patched or updated from Ganymede .
Kernel clock is 600 and init clock is 691
The final Perseus X boot animations is released by Karim and his friend XeeD

Yes i had beeen desperately waiting!! :p Thanks..! : Wil flash tomorrow. Should i flash Directly frm the current perseus x?
No backup the apps .factory reset . and then flash .
use stock recovery since the links are broken in Px recovery .
Flash stock ROM .
factory reset.
Flash Einherjar
Ohk so u mean backup n recover apps in stock rom first and then again back up n recover in arkas 1.5,right? N which stock rom? 2.3.6 or 2.3.4? Thanks
No
backup apps
Flash stock ROM
it wont boot (File system restriction when jumping from JFS to RFS )
go to recovery with T+power or
#reboot recovery (it’s shell rooted so you can do that when you see I5510)
Factory reset and you are done
Thanks for support , n pls tell me which stock rom should i flash .
Do whatever you want.2.3.4 or 2.3.6.the rom is based on polish 2.3.6. So only radio matters .KPA OR KP1
Thanks .will come back with good feedbacks by tomorrow hopefully 🙂
Just flashed. Things are looking good 😀 But one strange thing happened. Titanium backup is recognizing only 16 apps out of 50+ apps that i had backed up. Although i havent lost anything really important, as I had backed up individual app data separately like go sms,contacts,ultra notes notepad etc……but this may have been serious if i hadnt done so:p
The backups are still in sd card, but manyyy , infact most are not detected by titanium. i wished i used the other backup app lol…and perseus x had actually messed up a lot of things like incorrect backups and restores etc , that may have been a reason too.
But it feels good to start afresh esp. with only required data n apps in phone.!!This ROM seems awesome , n no problems yet like i had in persues x 😀 ..Hope it will be another long term ROM for me like Arkas 0.543 🙂
Oops really sorry. i was a fool yesterday . I had used filter in titanium backup, hence many apps were not visible. titanium backup is great, and so is your ROM… this is the best by far! simply superb… enjoying each moment using my phone..and im not exaggerating! lol
Downloading ….
downloading
was so much awaited for this one
downloading
so it just use usual flash with odin?not little complicated like perseus X right??
One package odin flash.easy .simple. no fur .
PX was/is in different league altogether.
thanks skilled 😀
I dont know how and why!!! but after flashing it as one package in odin, my phone language changed!!!! i did try ur *#272*IMEI# method but it shows XEO and option as instal.. when i click it shows a msg “must be 3 chars” !!!!!!
Just flashed indian csc file using odin! back to ENGLISH!!!
you should have just changed language to english using locale and text .
will the system run if all partitions are on ext4? i’m running Perseus X with willing’s CWM (and it’s actually fairly stable [wifi tether has workaround]). was planning on doing an update.zip method for this.
Well since many problems are encountered due to rfs-bml-ext2-cwm ,this doesnt have ext4 mount point .
Arkas will be rfs-bml due to sheer simplicity .
Perseus will be ext4-CWM for sheer performance .
That way confusion will be less .
The system will RUN with Perseus X kernel btw on ext4 . 😉
i see. thanks for the clarification.
so i can extract the files and build an update.zip using the updater-script of perseus x and use the perseus x kernel while keeping cwm or not possible?
Change to willing’s update binary since I haven’t tested my scripts on CWM .
Use Perseus X update script however .
hory sheet it works!
built an update.zip, works with cwm! thanks for the info.
uses Perseus X kernel.
Arkas 1.5 Einherjar, Perseus X kernel, flashable without Odin. just need some adb commands.
permission to upload and post link here?
Shure .
No problem 😀 .
thanks.
oh, wait…having some root issues. going to try to find out why.
superuser permissions are automatically denied even if set to allow, no prompt comes out at all.
Yeah . I had the faint idea that may happen .
Dont worry .
Anyway I am gonna release Perseus X2 soon with dmesg off and some more stuff .
SOC also does not work.
i get this
????dtoolbox???????: permission denied
busybox was not symlinked correctly?
nope
toolbox was not symlinked correctly .
you cant symlink files already present .
tried removing the symlinks in bin and xbin. shell works correctly now. but i’m still getting instant denial on su permissions.
I will make a working zip after some time . 😀 .Not to worry . 😉
thanks. this is driving me insane. tried several times and several methods. can’t root to work for the life of me. the rom itself, however is really fast. next to useless though without root. oh and willingmagic’s tun.ko works. hexedited it to match kernel’s vermagic.
I should do that in next 2-3 days . 😀 .Perseus X2 for power users .
thanks for the fix.
in the meantime though, couldn’t resist. installed it the classic way.
cool bootscreen though i liked dmesg better. makes people go wtf when they see it 😀 hehehe
dmesg is awesome .except the lockscreen sometimes gets on the nerves .LOL.This Rom is actually like Leviathan of Froyo .Stable and Good check point . 😀 .I should dabble in ext4 some more . Though I want a Odin ROM for pX2 since I can use NJ-ext4 instead of ext4 (CWM is good but not that good ) .Will dabble for some time and see the options for the X2
i don’t mind the lockscreen dmesg popup there. something nice to look at
ext4 is nice. ext2 tends to crap out a lot on me.
one more thing though, where can i get mad2sd?
going to try to take a crack at this again.
so next step would be how do i unroot this?
Eiherjar ironically works faster on rfs than on ext4 .ext4 is giving a hell on my phone .root is working.
but music playback is really choppy (try pulling down the notification bar while playing music) and the song will skip. then tested using PX kernel, music playback is fine.
unfortunately, PX kernel does not support rfs. so i’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. i don’t mind using rfs when this problem is solved though.
PX on ext4 is faster than jfs but lots of silent crashes and kinda unstable. strange that ext4 using trisk recovery doesn’t work but when on cwm it boots.
yeah .its repeated on pX2.
what do you mean it’s repeated on pX2? as in the bug still persists?
ext4 is still unusable on ext4 as compared to JFS or reiser .
well as long as there’s a journaled fs in there. i’ve had ext2 crap out on me several times and was greeted with a lot of fc’s then after.
though any idea on the music playback problem?
and unrooting this one? i removed su and superuser.apk and SOC still doesn’t work. hangs at gingerbreak.
us the other method to root since pX kerenel doesnt have ro.secure=0 which is needed for gingerbreak.
what other method?
In the end Rooting means pushing su binary and superuser.apk to /system
gingerbreak is just an exploit used to push the su binary and superuser.apk
Flash as one package in CWM recovery
ah this one. thanks. going to try it out once this boots.
nope, both root234 and root2342 doesn’t work. i type su in adb shell and it still gives me regular shell. like this
$
$ su
$
and logcat shows
/system/bin/sh executing 0 on /system/bin/sh using shell /system/bin/sh : sh
when i type exit it’s as if i have another shell running.
I will post my broken build tommorow if you want .No guarantee if it will work smooth.
sure. thanks for your patience.
@skilled: off the topic question…. interested in mythology eh??? Ur names are named as leviathan, perseus, Einherjar
Well the names are also ganymede ,mercury ,energon ,……
Interested in bit of astronomy too lolz 🙂
Hey skilled can you check the download mate… I downloaded the file twice… Cant seem to extract the .md5 file from the downloaded .tar.7z file… Anyone else having issues??
what error are you getting .Use 7Z archiver .Winrar is not that good for 7z .
a noobs question :
ext2 ,ext3 and ext4 for the second partition on sd card…using link2sd works.
i havent tried before but main sd card partition will it work with ext2? or should i let it be fat32 itself..
i got 8gb class 6 sd card 1gb is ext4 for link2sd and 6.75 gb in fat32 format… can i try with ext2 or ext4…thats m asking
sure you can try
Music wont auto detect mp3’s
videos wont auto detect
ans you will have to use root explorer for all navigation .
wow awesome…
will play once..lol
hey skilled,
off topic ques..
jus flashed cwm on polish 2.3.6 and i went to revovery..
its giving many mount error like recovery log mount error..
however they just pop up below on the screen.. otherwise recovery works fine..
so is that ok? i want to be cautious cuz dont wanna brick my phone again hehehhe.
i want to flash cyanogen mod so wil it work fine?
CWM doesnt support rfs .so it’s just useless on Arkas and Stock ROMs .
ext iterations of Perseus X are only supported by CWM
i am not goin to backup or do some change i jus want to flash cyanogen mod as update from sd card via cwm.
will that work? or it is also not supported?
if not than tell me the sequence of flashing.
thats supported .
You can check the older posts or the google group for details about flashing CWM .
awesome ROM….
thanx !!
is this rom support cwm??
Nope . Last time checked ext2/4 was not used in Perseus X .
can i use this rom even i have a stock rom 2.3.4 ..?
can this improve the performance of my phone thanks..
yeah can be used on 2.3.4 .
definitely noticeable increase in performance .
for installing this rom is need to format the sd?
No need to format sd . Do factory reset however .
thanks 🙂
everything is working smooth…..find it better than cyanogen
just videos are lagy on mx video player
Hai skilled
having arkas 1.5 in my phone testing link2sd and mad2sd and work but dt doesnt work when i check via TE its always said ‘a2sd not found’ try to run from system/bin but still got same result…running out of idea”
Any suggestion??
Nb: i tried link2sd mad2sd and DT separately.
technically all three of them should work .check permissions of a2sd
oh yeah skilled
i just want to share my ported themes
it based on ice cream sandwich
i take the icon from galaxy 3 and galaxy gio ics themes
this theme for 2.3.6
maybe you can include it in one of your rom :p
but it still have some bug
i can’t explain that
because i only can speak english a little bit
here is the download link
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3l745ny1hjr1618
i already make a update.zip for that 🙂
The framework is great !!! .
i think the “bug” is the Notifications banner .
lets see if I get time to fix it .
thx 🙂
yes right
at the notification banner
i’m get confused and lazy to fix that 😀
Flashed this rom. lang is in polish so changed the language to eng(us).. lang changed to english but titanum backup is still in polish..
reboot should fix it.
how to fix lag of videos ??
and how do i install stock rom keyboard from your other custom rom to this rom??
overclock ?? Actually I can run 480p videos without any lag .MX player with SW Fast mode .
Install the keyboard from market .I had given the link earlier.
please help me . My version is 2.2 . I flash 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 by odin and my screen is to get dark.I never seen anything.what can ı do ?
Phone doesnt support GB sadly .Try going back to Froyo and then to GB
thank you skilledchaos. I back to froyo . am ı the 1.5 einherjar flash by odin on the 2.2 ?
No you need to have stock GB installed for the bootloader .You can use the stable 0.564 Leviathan (Only ROM other that the Ganymede 1/3 to cross the 1K mark ) on Froyo .
I don’t think its d case…..but just an idea….can one package flashing be d source of such a bug……if so…..can u prepare a doownload file with individual pda etc.. for stock gb atleast?????
well .Odin OPS dictates how afiles are flah. A tomato will be tohmato or tomahto

my phone doesn’t support GB too!
i’ve tried flashing stock GB, Ganymede3, and Einherjar but all failed. screen got dark and blurry. do you have any solution or suggestion for this problem? or patch maybe?
now i’m back using DarkEnergon… 😦
don’t know why, but some phone got this black blurry screen problem (mine not)
and still no solution about this
check the video about that GB screen problem at youtube
yup, i’ve seen that video on youtube too. which is only showing a problem without solution…
does flash player works??
about to test that one.
doesn’t seem like it. someone please prove me wrong.
Very strange .It works fine using this method .
ohhhh! didn’t paste it inside lib. just in com.adobe.flashplayer/
silly me.
is there anything to get the battery icon in percentage format..
u suggest that icecream sandwich update “seven” posted above what say??
otherwise a great rom… works well and smooth and finally my link2sd reboot problem also solved..
no fcs so far…bit problem restoring apps with titanium backup..but that maybe just me…
thanks to u skilled
cheers.
well tried cyanogen mod for 6 hours and my conclusion is that it isnt my cup of tea cuz of the bugs that are still present..
specially the call dissconnect error.
so i flashed this rom and its awesome.
no fcs no bugs.
however i have two ques..
1. why is availble internal memory so less by default?
i checked the apps but i guess they dont take so much space ie. cpu tuner, filexpert.
2. what is the default setting that i shud set in cpu tuner so that i get the same value of stock 2.3.6.?
1.)Deodexed ROMs take some space in /data
2.)600Mhz Ondemand governor deadline governor .
One question, Why it states Perseus X as boot loader animation and not Arkas animation? Though it is not required, but thought asking you once.
Anyways, thanks for the rom, you rock!!.
lol cos there is no Arkas boot animation .
umm… okk..
this is my cpu setting
max: 600mhz
min: 245mhz
governor: ondemand
I/O: sio
is it same as stock?
I/O is deadline for stock
Does TouchWiz still stay.. Does it still retain all features of touchwiz??
hey skilled, a ques, how to deodex ROM??

@skilled : hey Odin doesnt detects my phone??? i dnt know wat i hav usb debugging on… but however adb commands works and i can transfer files between PC and my phone…. Kies also dint detect my phone???? Plz guide me….
P.S I formatted my PC day before may be i think i dint install the drivers properly
You need Odin drivers installed
Whr can i get that????
On Vista and above it is installed automatically.
Well i have xp 😦 and wat may the reason y kies doesnt detects and whr can i get those drivers ???
Answer me skilled a bit worried….
It should detect automatically even in XP .You can try SS_DL.dll available in stock GB ROM
i’m using win xp and flash my phone with odin without any problem!
u must go to downloading mod for using odin, did u this?
wt* i jus changed my usb port and it worked!!! anyway tanx:)
@skilled Hey i jus flashed ganymede over cm7 now its stuck at the boot animation i did factory reset still stuck???

Hw to go to the bml recovery coz wen i do adb reboot recovery by default it goes to cwm???
flash stock recovery or complete stock ROM
can u give me the link to stock recovery… I installed stock rom and it worked tanx 🙂
Hello Skilled,
first, thank for this rom! 😀
I’ve flash it from GB 2.3.6 stock. very fast boot, very fast cpu, stable. Awesome rom !!! 🙂
Only one thing. The boot animation. On my phone, boot animation is “cut” in 2 part, first part look good, other part is shady color, buggy…
But it’s juste a graphic bug, nothing serious.
however, can i download and install other boot animation on this rom? and how do this ?
Thank’s a lot for all your job’s!
just replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media/
I had not seen that “root toolbox” allows the change of the boot animation …
Anyway, thank you for your reply 😉
@skilled once i told u cm was one of the best mods i hav ever seen…. bt nw wat u know i say this rom overwhelms cm in its speed hats off to u…. gonna use this mod to cm 🙂
I prefer speed at this moment 🙂
hw do u know wats the stable freq in no frillscpu ??? I tried to keep at 800 still worked wit extreme speed ??? wat freq do u have in ur mobile???
691 is my speed for gaming
480 is my speed for everything else .
Can u tell me hw long will the battery last if i run it at 245Mhz(thats the stable lowest freq right) ???? I want to know that… So if i am travelling i want to know hw long the battery lasts….
245 is the minimum value when the wifi is active but maybe without wifi and on 2G network only you could increase the autonomy and lower the cpu. Not sure for this. Maybe skilledchaos can confirm this.
I think the battery can run two, maybe up to 3 days … depends on your usage. androphone all have the same problem: – /
Correct .
For max battery efficiency .Turn data/wifi off .display brightness minimum .dont play games .and use the smartphone as a regular phone .You get a battery of regular phone then .
internet has become very slow.,,,,,help….

HI
i have installed arkas 1.5 , no issues except luncher hangs some times.
i need to ask coz i’m new with 5510
plz advice me how to install CWM.
i used to have froyo then installed stock GB as one file
i have not installed bootloader for GB.
thanks
One package odin flash as I have explaineddd many times. Use cwm only if you want to flash cyanogenmod
1- How can i install recovery (CWM) on this ROM?
2- i have tried many time to install Arabic patch but always boot-loop!!!
i have tried the Arabic patches many times on other phones and just perfect, why here (this ROM) not working? very strange
appreciate any help
thanks
it means that normal 1 package flash with odin..callisto.ops as ops file…the downloaded tar file..then take the phone to downloading mode (Q+power button)…the port will open in odin…and thats all..then start and this rom will b flashed…nothing else…??
and my phone is not rooted..so is it necessary to root if i want to flash this..??
Yeah .exactly.
No need of root.
Hey skilledchaos…really thanks…..:)
Hey skilledchaos can we change the theme of the notification bar with this ..i have flashed this rom but how to change the theme of the notification bar?
depends on what you want to change .
i want to change just the theme..like the default one is a gray coloured one with 5 options…i want to change the look of the notification bar…colour and the options,etc
Just download CM 7.0 and install that ROM .It has theme manager support .
I dont have enough time to theme these days and I an NOT going to insert Theme manager .
ok ok…i just wanted to know….anyways this is a real good rom..and a stable one..cm7.0 still has some bugs….thanks for this…your work rocks…:)
1 last thing….looking overall launcherPRO,that u have provided,is better or go launcher ex..i dont want 2 launchers..so asking for ur recommendation…
GLEX doesnt have stable version .Removing LP in next version .Reverting to stock Touchwiz
ok…thanks..:)
so no modding of notification bar available for this rom??
A couple posts john did some 20 or so frameworks.his .9.pngs don’t strech well .
You can try stevens mod als but his fws have problems with the classes.dex.
Both are good replacements.
If you can live with some little bugs then install them.
ok..thanks for the advice..i would rather wait for the stable cm7 rom..that would be good….
how can i get qwertz from german rom in your new rom?
greetings?
I will create the azerty and qwertz patch soon
qwertz patch would be the icing on the cake that is already fantastic – soo awesome!
hi skilled,
does the CRM mod work on the rom or is it unsupported??
Yes it does
hey skilled does this rom have a preloaded tun.ko
also can i flash this even i have a rooted and custom rom.. and i dont want to do a factory reset do you think it work..? also i have a titanium backup already installed
@skilled, I wanted to use touch wiz, pls tell me how it possible…..
Skilled, Arleady flash this rom, first running smoothly.
then try install DT a2sd, from recovery mode. install succesfull, but after reboot a2sd couldn’t mount SD (using ext3).
Also got bug, when i connect to charger/cable data, after several minutes, could not wake up from sleep (look like hang), and any data connection failed. back to normal when unplug cable data connection/charger.
Try, do a hard reset, but until now still stuck on boot animation ?
any suggestion ?
hi,
had the same problem try reformating using ext4
stuck on boot animation solve after re-flash stock rom and do a hard reset again.
but dt a2sd still couldn’t mount SD, also reformatting using ext4 still got same problem :(.
another question skilled does this rom have a preloaded tun.ko
i think it does.
how to root gb 2.3.6
hi karan,
Two questions..
1) I always do titanium backup of user apps as well as system data..
Is system data backup and restoring on the newer version than earlier is proper or should I not do that??
2) class 4 16 gb should I go for ext3 or 4 as second partition?
maybe just used ext2, the common one
1.)No need for system data really .
2.)Class 4 should be ext2 if you want fast at cost of instability and ext4 if you want moderate stability at cost of speed .ext3 is pretty much useless .
Just Flashed.. Experiencing Some Hangs Here and There
Whats the safest and the best speed for overclock..
Thanks
safest is 600 Mhz .Best is 800Mhz
Flashed this rom.
My wifi keeps getting turned off and when I try to Activate it it just says “error”. I have alredy wiped, battery pulled and entered *#*#526#*#* it works again for a little while and then it happens again.
Any Suggestions?
No Idea .WiFi works fine on mine .Try changing raio to KPF or KPK .Unless your phone is I5510M or I5510L you shouldn’t have any problems
How do i change the radio to KPF or KPK?
you can change it by using one package flash option of odin .
radio is also known as baseband or amss.
KPF_amss.tar.md5 for KPF and KPK_amss.tar.md5 for KPK
Tried it with both KPF and KPK and it keeps happening. Any other suggestions?
Nope . you can try
#rmmod ar6000.ko#insmod /system/wifi/ar6000.k0
When you encounter error
@Luis I think thats what the new post is about….
How to use mad2sd?
Su
mad2sd on
not worked, “mad2sd not found”
Install. Mad2sd .this rom only supports a2sd .all a2sd have to be installed including link2sd,dt a2sd (which is not working) or mad2sd
Hello skilled, I think I bring a good news 😀
finally after several trial and error i can use dt a2sd.
I combine your ROM with CWM and do mount data and mount system in cwm before installing dt a2sd
i am using dt a2sd v 2-2.7.5.3 beta from developer site on xda
😀
Hi
@skilled
There is a buig in the lock screen that when the battery is charged 100% it still displays charging not charged! Any fixes/??
anyone else facing this problem also???
Unless you get the green notification saying 100% charged it will continue charge .
And Samsung batteries are pathetic .
My older se has never suffered a battery drop in four years .
hey skilled does this rom have a preloaded tun.ko.
probably .
skilled i install this rom but i cannot find any tun.ko can you give me one.. thanks
have you checked at /lib/modules?
Sadly nothing has worked yet for solving the Wifi turning off and giving me an “Error” and never turns on again.
Tried:
1) Full Wipe
2) Battery Pull
3) Dialing *#*#526#*#*
4) Flashing KPK and KPF radios
All of these methods turn the Wifi ON for a short time and then happens again.
Do any of you guys have any other solution for this problem?
problems….
whenever i clear memory from task manager
after then when i press back button it show contacts and after then whenever i press back button it shows contacts……how to recover this contacts loop……m using 2.3.6 arkas

sorry for my mistake i find it now.. it is in the lib/modules..

Hi, i’m looking for mad2sd for my Arkas 1.5. where i can get it?
HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP
how to get the stock rom and leave the galaxy as a factory 551?
reason: failure wifi router and wifi
PS: I am in Arkas 1.5 Einherjar
flash stock 2.3.6(KPK) if you want gingerbread
flash stock 2.2.2(KD1) if you want stock froyo
I do not understand, I lay on the subject
willyam just flash the 2.3.6 rom on ur phone through odin..like u flashed einherjar…the same method.
its 1 package only…..and u wll have stock 2.3.6 rom on your phone..
then after flashing 2.3.6 go to recovery menu(T+power button) and wipe data and clear cache…and there you have the factory 551 with 2.3.6….
im using this rom 1 day after… luckily i have no problem until now..
my wifi is working also the youtube is not crashing..
so far so good..
hi,
coming rfom perseus x with lots of apps (100+), i ran out of space and could´nt reinstall all of them through TI backup. Does anyone know how to set it up like perseus x using the sd card instead of internal memory?

you can use DT a2sd but the installation will require some tweaking. you’ll encounter a bootloop on the first install, you have to shell in and edit the script in init.d
hi g.jie,
thanks for the suggestion. could you specify how to edit init.d to make the script working?
http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
from my experience, initial dt-a2sd install is
a2sd install
then phone will reboot. at first, as if nothing happened. there should be a /system/sd folder in the phone which is mounted to the ext partition. if not, create one. then go to /etc/init.d (or /system/etc/init.d) and you should see some scripts when you do an ls. if you find a file named a2sd but without a number at the start, rename it so that it would. maybe 04a2sd would be fine. after that, reboot. you can now run other a2sd commands like
a2sd cachesd which moves dalvik-cache to sd.
have fun.
hi again,
i had luck with an older version of DT a2sd. just worked out of the box after installing via recovery mode. silly me, i wanted to have the newest version and updated via the same method…
Now i´m stuck at the “GT-I5510″ after rebooting and nothing else happens. Could youl please tell me how to proceed?
can you access adb logcat and adb shell?
if you can, post a logcat and put it in pastebin so we can start from there.
adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt
sorry,
no adb since i´m at work now.
But reflashing via T+Power with the older version braught my phone back to life.
The version dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed.zip works like a charm so far.
But i dont know the difference between these versions.
in that case, if it works, it would be best to leave it be.
i agree – never touch a running system… 😉
thanks for your support!
hi
i have a Q.
how can i increase the notification sound as well as it plays in media?
cuz when i play a sound in media it’s higher than when it play as notification even the notification volume is up at the end!
There was an app for that . I cant get its name .It increases the sound but it royally screws the speaker .
Hi,
I want to apply this ROM but before , WHat i need to do (resest, nothing…)

hey skilled i think it good to port touchwiz from stock 2.3.6 to apk install file or make update.zip cuz i think a lot of people(me one) love touchwiz
thx skilled
hey skilled i have a question again with this rom..
when im using data packet after a few minutes my battery gets hotter? What do you think is the problem?
i Never experience this before with stock Rom? Do you think i need to underclock my phone..?
hi skilled,
have you taken a look at the ice-cream framework… i installed it, i think its quite good, but there is still an error with the notification bar, and I have expirenced that the wifi symbol is changing sometimes from the new style back to the old one.
hi again,

Now i´m stuck at the “GT-I5510” after rebooting and nothing else happens. Could youl please tell me how to proceed?
haha can’t get the upgrade itch out? i’m also having issues with that version. using it with perseus x. i guess it’s best not to use that version. should you choose to proceed though, first things first: can you get to adb shell with root? rooted shell is essential in repairing this.
Hey skilled
I am using link2sd
but my internal memory is getting full(only 15mb free space) and 2nd partion is only 15% filled(123 mb)
any problem
did you transfer the files to second partition ??
First switch off Froyo app2SD then transfer with Link2SD
Wats froyo app2sd??
standard android method of moving apps to sd card (goes to fat32 system, a.k.a. the normal sdcard partition)
okey thnx……advanced a2sd can wait since i still hav abt 50pc remaining after clearing cache n all……
Link2SD and ROM Manager have an option to disable Froyo/Stock/GB a2SD .Default and Link a2sd dont work together
50 apps n it shows 40pc internal remaining…..on link2sd on leviathan……wt to do???…when I moved gmail from /system/app to /data/app….it force closes….n btw….how to switch off froyo a2sd????
Froyo a2sd is off on Froyo by default .I have had over 250+ apps with Link2SD without a hitch.
i dont hav any “hitch” too….no fc due to apps……but internal memory still getting used….any idea wt to do????….wt all should i move to /data/app????
Then dont attempt anything till your internal falls below 20 p.c . 60 MB is used by Deodexed apps ,that leaves 120 MB .look at /data apps not /system apps. /system is not taking the memory .Link2SD is just enough .
Go for Flozd2SD,mad2sd or DTa2SD for advanced a2sd
hey skilled can i uninstall the file expert apps from your rom..?
my galaxy 551 is bricked up! help!
Alright I am impressed !!
i used the OPS file castillo.ops
and this package.
my cell is showing sansung logo at reboot but not starting!
plzz help!
How about some useful stuff like
Previous ROM
Current ROM
File Flashed
Recovery Flashed
adb logcat
Dmesg
Previous ROM- I5510DDJK4_ODDJK4_DDJK4
Current ROM- no rom!!!!!
File Flashed- i used this as the single complete package (Arkas1519.tar.md5)
plz tell me that where i am wrong in the procedure!
You used Arkas 1. build on Froyo bootloader which is no-no
You need stock Gingerbread ROM preinstalled
*SAMSUNG
I think you need do “wipe data” in your cell
with the same off, press T+Power and go wipe data.
hi
plz help me how can i do app2sd with this rom
i don’t konw anything about it 😛
An old post of mine .
thanks skilled 🙂
how much space of sd must be ext? for a 8gb sdcard
10 p.c is optimal .SO in your case it should be 750 MB – 1GB depending on your necessity .
i made a rather basic a2sd script specially made for our phone which moves
/data/data
/data/dalvik-cache
/data/app
/data/app-cache
you can do this without resetting your settings but at its current state, it does. you’ll have to copy the files manually.
manual installation required
adb push 06mountsd /sdcard/
adb push 07a2sdprep /sdcard/
cd /etc/init.d/
cp /sdcard/06mountsd ./
cp /sdcard/07a2sdprep ./
chmod 777 06mountsd 07a2sdprep
sync;reboot
to keep your settings (hopefully)
mkdir /system/sd
chmod 777 /system/sd
busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
mkdir data
mkdir app
mkdir app-private
mkdir dalvik-cache
chown 1000:1000 *
chmod 771 *
cp -a /data/data/* ./data/
cp -a /data/dalvik-cache/* ./dalvik-cache/
cp -a /data/app/* ./dalvik-cache/
cp -a /data/app-private ./app-private/
good luck.
ps: if you get stuck in a bootloop, sorry about that. just remove the two files from /etc/init.d and reboot
http://www.mediafire.com/?rqaxd86yiy143cb
manual_a2sd.zip
Just remove the swap lines 😛 .It’s already present with zram/compcache .
will do. thanks for the feedback.
did it work for you also?
tried bindmounting /data to /system/sd but it doesn’t work. oh well, this is close enough.
made a failsafe for this which will not get you stuck in a bootloop if ever there is no sdcard or one without an ext partition (hopefully it actually works). or is that a standard feature with other a2sd scripts?
try adding using an “if” 😉 to the script for failsafe .
and i’m testing this on XT4 also. it works…so far.
kinda miss dmesg 😀
considering I am counting XT4 downloads on my one hand ,I will upload the dmesg kernel one since it’s much more robust even on NJ ext4 !!!
and the failsafe works! too bad data isn’t copied. oh well, that’s for another script’s job. syncing between /data and /system/sd
can’t wait to try that one out. i’ll be out for a few days for a school trip though. be back soon.
strange that twlauncher crashes on most bootups but works fine after. meh.
hey skilled im having a problem with link2sd..?

Where do I get Flozd2SD ,mad2sd or DTa2SD
Hi, thank you for this ROM. I just flashed it to the 551 of a friend and he is really happy with it. He is now waiting for the qwertz patch, because he uses a german model.
Also we yould like to know why this app (https://market.android.com/details?id=de.schildbach.oeffi) does not work. It worked flawlessly before and does so on other phones we tested it on.
Thanks again!
I cant test that app but it seems to be working .Have you enabled GPS and data connection in “Location and security” . What problems are you encountering ?
I will get the qwertz from stock GB soon .
hi skilled,
been away for sometime with some work. Couldn’t follow the blog closely for a months or so. I see a lot has happened in time..
I’m running Perseus X (1pkg odin) and pretty happy with that.
The volume of comments here is tempting me to make a move.
Couple of things confusing me.
1.No backup the apps .factory reset . and then flash .
Flash what? if Stock 2.3.4, then why flash again?
2.use stock recovery since the links are broken in Px recovery .
????
3. Flash stock ROM .
Which stock?
factory reset.
Flash Einherjar
1.)Px uses JFS ,Arkas 1.5 uses rfs
2.)TO combat the above issue in stock recovery auto-mount is removed
3)Stock 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 . Wipe data/cache ,factory reset .
how can i remove launcher pro and cpufrills, i dont like two of em.
hey skilled how to
skilled how do i transfer the files to seconde partition do i need to link on it..?
and how to switch off froyo app2sd?
Use .”Create Link”
There is an option Link2SD to defauot install to internal memory .
Hey skilled…
am on Ganymede… Can I odin flash this as a single package? Will that be suffice? 🙂
ganymede 1 ,2 ,3 or 4
1 or 2 no you cant ,you will need stock ROM
3 0r 4 yes you cam
hey im in argentina, do i need something special to flash my cellphone?
you may lose 3G and GPS ,since GB amss_phone is not released for I5510T phones . I suppose it will come out soon. You will need stock GB if you are willing to forfeit 3G/GPS .
[…] Arkas 1.5 Einherjar […]
Hi, please help me out here…
this is my first time of doing this,
so, I try to do the first thing, ->install the polish GB 2.3.6,
2.2 Froyo is what I have now,
I open Odin, went to downloading mode on phone, put the md5 file to Odin and pressed start:
I get is this (please take a look):
what am I doing wrong, help please, I want Arkas on my phone 🙂
Callisto.ops file is required to flash all ROMs
hay, can anyone give me link to flozd2sd, mad2sd, i try installed DT a2sd but it isn’t works.
try the old version it works, but you cant move the data to sd-ext.
i’m using ext4 partition on my handphone.
thanks
try using this one. moves app, app-private, dalvik-cache and data. will not relocate /data however but it’s almost like that now since all space using files are now in sd.
flozd2sd was used in Perseus2 and Px .It has no control but it supports every FS including xfs and btrfs (mine) .
mad2sd is in Cyanogen Mod
got FC !!!
i got force close for apps that have a big size!
try to test some games, they installed successfully but when i run them got force close.
apps are:
world of goo
sprinkle
blood and glory nr
they size are over 20 mb
None of the games are officially supported so how do you expect me to believe they worked before ?
right
i write this comment for help and knowing that anyone else have this problem?
may be it’s for ram?

Mr. skilledchaos after a few hours of working on installed Arkas I would just like to inform you that I am not having any problems whatsoever.
For now, I like it very much.
A lot better and faster than default Froyo.
In this case I would just like to thank you for your effort!!
Regards with best wishes
I´m a noob in this, and i have a rooted froyo on my 551, never installed any rom, i was wondering if this one(the last i suppose) does have any issues or bugs and since im from portugal if it is for qwerty european phones. I wonder what steps should i do in order to put gingerbread on my phone! Sorry for noob questions i know you don’t like it but i just dont want to brick my phone! Hope you understand
Thanks a lot, and once again sorry for noob question
Hello .
The reason I have no Odin tutorial is that you need to stick to he guide and rules available .
The actual guide to flashing via Odin is here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=6&t=1&o=1#osa
You need to select one package option in Odin to flash Gingerbread and Arkas .
Lastly a dude from brazil created this video .check it out
So and sorry again for the question! I just have to download the file that is here in the post and flash it has one package! Or i have to download first gingerbread of the samfirmware website?
Another question and im sure it is the last one. Does the rom has something not working? or i will have my phone camera, bluetooth and wifi working?
Thanks a lot for the quick answer ive been following your work since the real beginning and you are doing a great great job!
Thanks
Download the Stock Firmware from Sammobile.com (earlier samfirmware)
Flash STock Gingerbread (2.3.4 or 2.3.6 doesnt matter )
Then flash Arkas
Everything is working according to me if you are using qwerty 😉 .
BT,WiFi,Phone Camera , Tether All are working 😀 .
I made as you said but this is in other language can i change it to portuguese? If yes could you tell me how ? Im sorry, im sure everyone asked this already lol
Thanks for your help
Sorry for question already done it 😀 Im really happy the performance of my phone increased a lot im just crazy about this!
Thanks a lot should done this a long time ago!
Hello there chaos, ive been testing your rom and so far so good, but i found a little bug! I install endomondo, and then i can’t open it it gives me always error, its just with me ? or happens with everyone? is there a turn around?
i don’t know if it helps but the error is this “the process com.endomondo.android has stopped unexpectedly”
I will look into it though it seems strange.
Thanks a lot…. i cant seem to solve this problem :S
Im sorry for ask this again, but have you tried to install endomondo skilled? Did it worked?
Alrigh here is the Catch .I was on Perseus XT4 and it worked fine 😀
But When I switched to Arkas 1.5 ,your error was replicated so yes it’s a genuine bug .Dont know why .I will look into it and probably create a new build some time next week . Cheers and thanks .
Ok Thanks a lot i will wait for that build ehehehhe btw whats the difference between arkas roms and perseus? are perseus better? im telling this because u said you were using perseus LOL
Arkas are mostly stable with minimum amount of bugs .Perseus come with bunch of bugs and is hitchy . Main difference is Arkas uses Samsung rfs File system which is robust and safe while Perseus uses ext4(or JFS or reiser4fs or reiserfs or nill2fs ) which provides some extra boost to phone at the price of stability (ext4 has a couple of FC’s now and then ,JFS/reiserfs has time zone bug and may decay ,ext2 is plainly unstable ,nill2 had some problems so it was shelved ). The advantage of Perseus is starting from xt4 ,it is ClockworkMod compatible .
Cardio trainer doesnt work too i hope it helps to update this
successfully updated to 1.5 and restored all apps . thanks skilled. good and fast than before
1.5 supports flash 10.2? if not can i downoad it?
In case of any doubt ,just check the home page with sticky .1.5 supports (and all GB ) Flash 10.3
hi skilled 🙂
is there any news about new rom? did you work on new project?
seems to have a strange problem since few days… whenenver i keep the fone charging .. almost 6 out of 10 times it goes into bootloop.. i have to charge in switched off state..
is it a hardware problem?? or should i flash rom again…
and using 1.5 since you did it.
it works fine..
but there have been few FCs… especially when adding to new contact, tried various governers but it persists universally.
flash works, though leviathan was a faster rom.
and when i charge with my charger, the touch is unresponsive (though moms charger works well… and moms phone on my charger works well…) lol
Yeah .The touch irresponsive is a problem which happens on most samsung chargers . There should be a new version soon .
Try a factory reset and flash ROM again and try ? .
yeah gonna do that… but have a day off… so play with the new perseus xt4 for a while today..never tried cyan mod.. will give a look at that too..finally will be back to 1.5…
whatever problems, ur roms are miles better than the stock anyways…
everytime i restart my phone, launcher pro freezes. i would need to go to task manager and clear processes to make it work again. also, nfs shift is not working when i tried to install it. you think it has to do with this ROM? it worked fine on Stock ROM before. thanks.
Alright.
I have installed einherjar on my phone and worked. But the GPS seems not functioned.
Does Einherjar have bug on GPS ?
Thanks.
Nope .
GPS is totally based on amss .

The temporary QWERTZ keyboard is in this file
Check this post
https://galaxy551.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/radio-and-alternative-keyboard-layouts/
I will upload multi CSC with next Arkas build .
Place in sd card
boot to recovery
use update from recovery on QWERTZ.zip
I have two problems:
1. The music doesn’t sound fluent like before, it’s slow down and y can’t listening it good
2. With the QWERTY Keyboard the some keys are failing me:
Alt + F
Alt + G
Alt + H
Aren’t the correct Characters.
Please, help me!
Alt+FGH keys vary country by country . What are your keys ?
Look this image, my Cellphone is exactly the same with the keys and the same Alt combination like the image:
ohk mine has different layout .The remaining alt keys are located in the sym key .
Yes, I only have problem with the keys I said, the another keys and Alt keys are good
Well Alt-FGH differs country to country . Without proper CSC I cant make the layout .
Ah okay, and it’s no way you can help me ?
The required symbols are present in Sym key so you are not missing any symbols .
That’s true, bur my problem it’s with those Keys don’t are the correct characters.
For example, in my QWERTY Keyboard when I do Alt + G = :$ But it isn’t ’cause with this ROM when I do Alt + G = € and with the other keys its the same thing, incorrect charactes
hi skilled 🙂
i have a que.
if it’s possible please describe that what is I/O scheduler and what is the difference between of it’s option ?

No matter what rom i flash now, my phone doesn’t goes beyond the samsung logo. Please help
Go to recovery ,wipe data and cache …peace …
Well that didn’t worked even from cwm, i fixed it formatting /system then reflashing gingerbread, and wiping data & cache from original recovery. One thing, i have stock gingerbread… but i have the version released for venezuela/chile (I5510LVNOKP5)… Could that be the problem? Thanks
I meant stock recovery …That error happens if your /data,/cache is ext4(CWM) and you have Samsung kernel(rfs mounts) …(stock kernel)
Well i tried in another phone with original recovery… wiped data and factory reset, and flashed arkas. It boots, but the screens looks really dark i can’t see almost anything, what could that be? Thanks
Hmm…Some GB ROMs dont work on some GT 551’s due to the LCD differences ..Or it may be a bug …try flashing again ?
