hi i have an galaxy s...and i think my phone came from singapore coz it has apps like singtel radio etc...and i think its one of the main causes my phone lags sometimes..even my facebook app takes about 2 minutes to load..i saw on some of your forums that there are other users of the galaxy s phone bought from Korea they have changed the korean android operating system to the local O.S of the galaxy s...i was wondering where i could have this done and also install a custom rom..I live in the alabang and paranaque area could anyone refer me to a good repair or upgrade store??

Hi giehgieh,
The best place to ask about updating the firmware on a particular phone is that device's own forum, in this case the Samsung Galaxy S section. The users there will be able to give you much more accurate advice, and you'll probably find that it's something you can easily do yourself.

That's all very well, but do you also have the Galaxy S and can confirm that this procedure is safe? That's why I advised seeking advice from those who own and use the handset.
More specifically, you should check out the Galaxy S's All Things Root standard sticky:
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/489555-galaxy-s-all-things-root-guide.html
It has loads of good info on how to root, some recommended ROMs and kernels, some themes, etc etc. You should definitely check it out.
