Hello there all you i5800 fans out there!
Considering that I've pretty much given up on the idea that any upgrade passed the Froyo (2.2) one posted here is ever coming for our device, I've started to look at the "exciting new world of custom ROMs". After looking at a couple and noticing that most of them contain the dreaded

section, I almost gave up. [Dramatically] Towards the end I found Kyrillos' ROM which seemed quite promising. Today I can proudly announce that this is Day 4 of usage and besides seeing no problems whatsoever, I can safely say that I've very pleased.

Among the top features I would have to say
- a fresh new Gingerbread-ish look
- more space for installing apps (+ the possibility to convert the SD card to internal memory -> a lot more apps) mainly due to removed Samsung-nailed-to-the-OS apps
- a new Image gallery (faster I might say), (resembles the Android 3.x one)
- pre-installed with a few launchers + multiple lock screens
- nice OS fonts
- rooted
- camera app has hardware button (the power button)
- browser seems to be loading pages faster
As for installing, it's the easiest thing in the world (especially if you've never used the Odin tool to flash your phone), but there are plenty of tutorials on the web. The full installation guide can be found here.
Enjoy
