1 thing i realise is JPU's browser is super smooth, feels abit like iphone because checked box will appear if you scroll too fast

Yo I have the checkered boxes too. So you are saying that's just tat the browser is fast? No worries then?

Hey people.

I noticed Doc's JPU Samsung App store has 17 updates at first boot compared to 6 from Darky's?

Is there a way to get these apps if I am on Darky's?

Btw, I am on Doc's now, love that Goal.com widget rclxms.gif

Darky's Rom internet browser not so smooth.
When loading pages can see cheqeured boxes, when pinch zoom into text, the text appears blur first before sharpens again.

Don't have this when I was on Docs v3.0.1.

Do u guys face this? Any fix?

Thanks

The reason why I went to Doc 4.0. Can't tahan the distortions. Moving around zoomed pictures also had issue. And Max tabs are 4pages?

Anyways..morning people smile.gif

I actually love the browser. Checked box appears because it prevents the page to process during you zoom, so zoom and scrolling is super smooth on that browser.

This is how it works also on iOS and also Windows 7.
*
Have you tried zooming on images and scrolling after that? The image "tears" when you scroll.

After about 10secs, its back to normal.

Tell me if that's not your case.

10 secs? Mine recover right after i stop scrolling. What site you tested?

I think I need to elaborate: when you open images up on another tab full-sized. (you can try on any pictures from google images viewed FULL sized)

Double tap and zoom in=fine,
Hold and scroll = visual tears.

Since we're on this, I noticed the browser on Darky's 5.5 still has 4 tabs maxed?
Doc's is unbridled, no max.

my plan is RM 50 + 78 .... so every month is RM 128 ...
but they set my credit limit to RM 100 ...

so every month when my bill date ... i confirm over limit ...  then they barred my line .... coz i over limit ...
i wanna pay online ... but website not yet update .. i cant see my lastest bill yet ...

so i called to the customer services ...  asking for a solution ..

the cs ask my credit card number + cv + my secure code , said will help me pay now .... & he said this is the only way .. unless i go to maxis center ...

i fxxk tat cs ...kau kau .....
later will go maxis center to make some noice ....

Exact same scenario for me except that I didnt fxxk them cos both also ladies sweat.gif

Anyway, they understood our case and 1 person even said that they are amending their system. <-- this month I did not get barred, probably it is fixed?

For those who wud like to know how I customize, here how it works..

This is what I do before flashing ANY ROM. I strip any unwanted apps n put any KERNEL OR APPS before flash so everything can be done in 1 flash smile.gif

1) I download any latest ROM that I would like to test (eg : now im on Darky's v5.6)
2) Since I dont wanna use voodoo which already preinstalled in Darky's, I download speedmod ODIN version which contain .tar, extract it u'll get zImage in it.
3) OPEN (DO NOT EXTRACT) Darky's v5.6 using 7zip, go to /updates. Here where kernel n modem are placed.
4) Just drag zImage which u extracted earlier from TAR file and put it in /updates. If u feel to customize ur modem (JPD for example), extract JPP_modem.zip (u'll get redbend_ua and modem.bin), drag n drop it in /updates.
5) if u feel to delete or add some .apk to be install during ROM flash, go to /system/app and add ur favourite .apk (eg : 8pen.apk) or delete any unwanted installer (eg : FMRadio.apk) .. BUT always refer to SGS Spreadsheet so u wont accidently delete any important .apks
6) Close 7zip, transfer to ur internal-SD n flash via CWM

By doing this u wont need to flash many times just to move from default kernel to another.. default modem to another or base-medium addon and medium-full addon... all these can be perform in 1 step

p/s : You might also install the theme as well using the same method. its located in /system/framework. same method in case u need to flash .apk via CWM, edit any addon zip file and drag in ur desire .apk and flash

Hey nice info for a layman like me.

Will certainly keep this in mind when I feel "experimental"

I am on jpx v5.1 doc and it's fine. Speed, GPS and batt life just as good as jpu.

However it has that same checkered browser and max 4 tabs issue I hate from darky. Plus Samsung apps show only 7 apps compared to 17 from doc v4.

Guess I'll head back back to v4 doc and wait for v5.2 or better yet..gingerbread port! drool.gif

I use mine "out of the box." No other fixes like editing GPS.conf or messing withe GPS settings with dialer.

Did you edit yours? If you did you can try a factory reset/undo changes manually and try again. Some reported after a few phone restarts the GPS tend to get better too.

By the way I use papago x5 from market although Google maps works just as fine.

Also something to note. The weather and where you place the phone affects the GPS as well. For instance I get less accuracy during cloudy skies or if I place my phone "in" the dashboard of my car. You should place it as close to windscreen as possible.

Hope that can help.

Nope previously i done some tweaking but then it is reset to the default settings by now with all the flashings and so on.
I'm using Papago as well... seriously hard to get a lock... too hard

Maybe you can lay out in detail the rom kernel etc you are using. Also how you flashed to those roms. Maybe then someone here can also lend a hand.

Last but not least have you ever had good GPS? What rom were you using then?
