Samsung Galaxy S I9000 was the first popular Android-powered
smartphone manufactured by the South Korea-based company. European
Imaging and Sound Association named Samsung Galaxy S the European
Smartphone of the Year 2010, while Samsung reported that as of January
2011 more than 10 million I9000 units were shipped.
The Galaxy S was Samsung’s first attempt to build a smartphone worthy
of competing against Apple’s iPhone, which, at that time, was
controlling a large chunk of the smartphone market.
Samsung Galaxy S packs a 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a
resolution of 480 x 800 pixel and a pixel density of 233ppi, protected
against scratches by a Gorilla Glass layer.
The smartphone is underpinned by a Hummingbird chipset based on a
Cortex A8 core at 1 GHz and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The device also has
512 MB of RAM, 8 or 16 GB of internal storage, expandable using a
microSD card, 5 megapixel camera autofocus, face and smile detection and
a secondary VGA camera. Even though now it looks like a low-end
smartphone, in March 2010, when the Galaxy S was officially announced,
those were technical specifications worthy of a flagship smartphone.
The connectivity features list includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0.
Samsung Galaxy S runs Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box, but you can
upgrade it as high as Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Of course, unless you
chose the unofficial update way, because there are a lot of custom ROMs
out there that will bring Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on your Samsung Galaxy S
I9000.
All the custom ROMs require root access to your device. Fortunately,
