To root Samsung I5700 you can read it in here:

Note: this guide is using older kernel, but you can easily apply newer kernel after you understand how it works.

Good info for Samsung I5700 user, we can easily set MP3 song for message tone, just make a folder named "Notifications" on your Micro SD and place the song you want to use in there, now the phone can detect your MP3 files in the sound setting.

This is my perfect phone running on Eclair 2.1 with a little work to do to this nice phone:
1) Root it to make it available for App2SD, the application installed on this phone won't consume internal memory anymore, currently I have 164 MB internal memory with lots of application downloaded from Android Market.
2) Apply SamdroidMod Kitchen to make it support multitouch and live wallpaper, work nice for me.
3) Apply Frozen Eclair on it to make it faster.
4) Install Touchwiz3 Launcher to make it have Galaxy S theme.
All the thing to do can be downloaded from Samdroid.net, just search for it, work perfectly for my phone.

> In reply to Oltan @ 2010-09-20 04:14 from PSkU - click to readA thought from me, this is running a 800 MHz processor, big screen and few big things. I say this phone has a good battery life compared on this category.
Camera: I'ld say mobile should have a better camera which this is having, if you want a good camera, then it should be Canon or Sony...
Music: I'm not good in the sound clarity, all I need is a song to be played when I'm bored, this is okay for me.

I too experience lagging sometime, but I accept that lag, soon I sent a msg and try to come out of the SMS inbox and trying to open another msg taking a bit delay which is acceptable. Apart from that while updating any applications from Market. No lag in Internet usage works perfect and fast too. Let me know when and how you experience the lag.

I recently cleared my SMS box which had 10k msg's. Even it can load more.
For SMS password use Handcent SMS application which is good and having more features to handle.

it says this phone can play divx. but i read some reviews that some phones with divx capability can't play files with more than a 100mb size. so i just want to know if this phone can play divx with file size up to 700mb

- 2.1 is official now.
- Multi-touch and Live wallpaper are a reality now
