Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what I did but I must have done it right because I'm now on the gc01 rom. I followed the instructions to the gc01 link you provided. I downloaded the rom and zarchiver, moved them to my phone, extracted and open the rom zip, then installed mobile odin from google play, run the rom from that app and bam, it installed. Everything seems to be working perfectly, I even have the native e-mail and the widget, the emergency alert notifications and all the good stuff. I am happy. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't appear that I have a recovery to do nandroid backups, or did I miss it somehow? If its not installed, how do I go about installing one and which one do you suggest??no no no the exe is the one click installer you run from the pc. run it and it will make a folder with the installer inside. Which you run from the pc. Make sure you have the Samsung drivers for your phone on the pc (install kies but don't run it). Run the installer, put the phone in download mode then connect it to the pc via the USB cable, and when you see the comport light up on the installer click start
Codegerm, thanks for all your help and explanations, you have been great.
