Rom Samsung galaxy SL I9003 don't running ?????????

THIS IS A FAKE. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. AUTHOR: DELETE THIS.

Hello, i think that i saw you vstiied my web site so i came to ?go back the prefer?.I am attempting to in finding things to enhance my website!I assume its ok to make use of some of your ideas!!

That takes us up to the next level. Great ptoisng.

The Listed Download is a Development Pre-Testing Version. It basically means it is a raw form of the proposed ICS update for the device. It will not have necessary device drivers. Basically the touchscreen will partially work and nothing else will work. If there is a failure in the flashing process, you need to know your way around recovering the device back to a working firmware. Advise To Beginner Users: DO Not Do This. Advise to Author: Remove this. This will lead to problems for people.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery is not avilable in ROM Manager in Samsung Galaxy SL I9003

This is just a SDK port and is for development purposes only. It's only meant for developers to work further on an actual working version. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, works on this build. I would request the author of this post to add a suitable warning that this is not even an Alpha ROM. It is not at all recommended for anybody who isn't a ROM developer. Work is currently in progress for a working version of ICS for the i9003 but it will take time. So, if you're not a developer looking to help with the ROM build, DO NOT PROCEED. I'd also ask the author to not post misleading articles like this one. It could leave a lot of users with a non-working phone. The dev gets flamed for no reason and this gives him a bad reputation. This is the original XDA thread. Please go through it and modify your article. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328296

Hey Author can read first the original developer of this port??? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328296 dont misled i9003 user for this kind of wrong information you are giving..
