this is so fugly.
sigh....
I didn't upgrade this time due to issues like this.
is there a way to stick to the nexus boot animation after upgraded to 8.1?

what is bolehvpn actually? is it gonna improve our data connection (3G/EDGE) or just for the wifi only?

Simple.

Extract whichever bootanimation.zip from system>media via 7zip
then transfer to ur sdcard
root explorer transfer the extracted file to replace the one in system>media (pls make u r on rw mode)

speedmod k12m is out ... might wan to check it out ..
yea one of them is me, and that was while i was using official firmwares of DXJG4 and DXJPA, even last up to 3days+ ... but for custom rom no, coz alot of customization and optimization implemented, for the speed u have to sacrifice something else ...
17hrs for me is good, and usually my phone can last even longer .... brightness set to low, no background sync, disabled data network, super duper heavy texting, roughly an hr calls daily ...
its li-ion battery, just charge whenever there is a plug and charger with u, it is safe to do so ... but dont let the battery to go under 10% which is unhealthy for the li-ion batteries ... lazy to dig out the thread about li-ion batterys, sorry dont have the source ..

1st....Wow..just left the forum for a day and its already 39 pages.

Alvinz....
after i install speedmod k12l, battery is getting better. Now can last for 20+ hours... Thanks anyway for the advise on how to maintain the battery.
Btw, no wonder ur batt can last up to 2 days....So I got the wrong info then...

Enjoying my SGS so much...Luckily I made the right choice for not buying Iphone4.

Cheers

Jz out of curiosity, downloaded Darky 8.1 as wanna see how the bootanimation. I must say.... THAT is absolutely CHILDISH and Downgrade the SGS... it is not because of Transformer, it is because of the DARKY ROM wording, Custom ROM Guru been in the field for so long, i have not seen DOC design something which put his name there.

Would try to get a snatch of it if i can find another camera to do it.

No wonder some of u who upgraded to 8.1 complaint about the bootanimation.

[/quote]
FWIW, it is just a boot animation. The only downside is maybe the ugly bootanimation will not appease your non-android-using friends. If you want to show off, you'll want a cool one right?

BTW, in my personal opinion and observation, his attitude does indeed a bit childish. That is why I avoid his rom and go to other pro and experienced rom cookers.

Bottom line, if you don't like it, change the boot animation or switch rom. It takes no more than 30 minutes.

speedmod N version is out already. I switched from super optimized kernel to hardcore's M version together with switching from JPY modem to JPP modem. I got excellent battery life. Zero percent battery loss when data is off (at night).

gmhafiz,
can you give me the link for the JPP modem? is it gonna make any changes in terms of connection like wifi and call signals, or only the battery life differs?

http://insanity.rollus.net/index.php?dir=rom/modems/

BTW gmhafiz, when u switch from super optimised to hardcore kernel, don't u feel the sluggishness? I've been following all the latest hardcore's kernel and up to K12O I stopped and used super optimised instead. Gameplay begin to be smoother, UI is smoother I didn't know it can go smoother but it did. Especially gameloft's games, don't know why since last time hardcore kernel already have probs with gameloft games for me.

I don't know if the improvement is made by switching to speedmod alone or together with the modem. I used JPP modem with earlier version of speedmod. I can say that I got better call quality and gps navigation than JPA modem.

Link to JPP and other modems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...postcount=14434

Although it is from Doc's thread, I use it for insanity rom and it works just fine. Should work with darkyy's too.

For radio signal and gps performance, see these threads:
Radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...postcount=11945
GPS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...postcount=13293

Depending on the region/area, you may get different performance. So my advice is to try all of the modems and see which one suits you best. YMMV.

Added on January 17, 2011, 8:07 pmMaybe, there was a bit lag for a few hours of usage. But even now, there were few occasions where I experienced some delay. About to test playing asphalt now.


update: absolutely no problem with asphalt on hardcore M version. But I have applied ext4 lagfix. On SO, I didn't apply any lagfix.

gmhafiz and freakfingers,
thanks a lot guys. now got much more information about SGS modem. hehe, maybe after this i'll try SO kernel pula. hohoho

actually if i just install speedmod kernel without doing any tweaks or lagfix, the performance just the same as normal stock kernel? another question is is it possible to flash another modem in the dxjpe rom?

This post has been edited by daryl020189: Jan 17 2011, 08:59 PM

for the speedmod kernel, my opinion its better if you apply both. then the performance will boost. for the modem, better wait for gmhafiz @ freakfingers to explain to you. im using custom rom, and its fine to flash with custom rom.

thanks mate.

ic...i wanna know whether i using dxjpe stock rom now..i wanna flash a custom xxjpx modem coz i saw the review that modem have good gps lock...wonder if i just flash the modem...will my phone data gone?

nope..speedmod kernel is modified kernel..it will be different from stock in speed signifantly...and u may flash other modem in other rom as you like

i just flashed to JPP modem and my phone data is still there.

oh ok...install modem will not affect any apps or data? the language also won be affected? how to install through recovery? i downloaded the zip file of the modem already..wat name should i rename it?

They will not be affected.
No need to rename. When you are in recovery mode, choose "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard"

Use volume rocker for up and down, back button to select.

ok thanks...then the part that will affect the language and keyboard is the phone tar in odin?
