Forget endgadget's superficial review. Anandtech's the one you want to read. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/lg-opti...core-smartphone

I have mixed view on this phone. While I'm happy that tegra2 isn't a too big jump from hummingbird, it certainly has an edge in gaming.

For my needs, looks like galaxy s won't be outdated for at least another 6 months biggrin.gif

Using CWM also have the same result.,. ahh.. any of u encounter the same problem as me?  rclxub.gif

for another 6 month? okay.. october buy motorola atrix. lets  tongue.gif

My speculation only. But buy any phone that you want, if you wait, wait, wait, you'll never buy one smile.gif

I hope I don't have to buy a new smartphone. galaxy s should last a good few years. The fact that our current galaxy s is smooth enough (for my needs), I expect the next gen phone to be better in performance than a netbook, or match a common laptop! rclxm9.gif

Tegra2 phones are definitely for those who are looking forward to 3d games.

Hi sifus,

Need some advice here.

I have been playing around a lot with flashing ROMs, Themes, Kernels etc but have no experience in setting up email account.
1) If I want to enable my Gmail to push in emails to my SGS, how do I do that? Need to install any extra apps?

2) In order for it to work, must my 3G data be always on? That means if I use APN On/Off to switch off data, then the email will not be pushed in?
Thanks

Want to add. Both gmail and gtalk are push services.

Dear All,
    I am on Froyo 2.2 now and still feel the SGS laggy here and there. Is there any alternative solution to overcome this problem without flashing to 3rd party ROM? Thanks
*
- True, updating 2.2.1 will lessen the lag.
- Try OCLF
- flash speedmod or super-optimized kernel

QUOTE(Star_knight79 @ Feb 9 2011, 10:51 AM)
I find that I more ok/used to the original Samsung theme. The color scheme is nice. Do u guys think it's available somewhere in this world?
By the way, sifu taught me about root explorer. I can't find it in the market. Can I usw EZ explorer?
I download Diopen Chinese Input. Need to be placed at system folder. Can't find it, anybody know where is it?
(I'm on Darky ROM 9.2.)

Should appear without market enabler right? I never had missing paid app in both insanity and doc's

Hi sifus,

Wanna ask a question. Is it possible to sync my contact's birthday to calendar and set reminder ?
All my contacts are sent from my previous phone via bluetooth.
The contact already have all the information including birthday, but calendar dun hav.
Is there any possible to link it ?
*
Yes, easiest is by syncing with google. Create a google account, login with your phone, and your contacts will be synced with google's server.

If you look at Settings > Accounts and Sync > Manage Accounts, you can sync gmail,, calendar, contacts and picasa

Killing apps manually is not recommended. Instead, use it only for hanged apps. Autokiller is the way to go.

thanx..on speedmod, is it better to convert to ext4 or just stay with the rfs? any difference if convert to ext4?
*
ext4 has faster data read/write, but almost no observable difference in smoothness against RFS. If you have an app that uses a lot of database like newsrob, you'll see a lot of difference in the speed. But the smoothness will be the same.

I think I read hardcore said about optimizations he made to ext4 that it uses less battery because of fewer data write. (less data write --> less work --> less battery consumption). If this is true, there's no reason to stay with RFS anymore.

Thoughts?

i remember the app "spare part" has an option to set the autokiller to aggressive too... no need for another app if u have that preinstalled with the custom ROM

Yup, forgot about spare parts. Only that Autokiller has a few more options on the profile.

Guys, actually what is Cyanogenmod??? After read thru i still not understand what is it...
It is a ROM or a kernal??
*
It is a an extremely popular whole ROM replacement, made by cyanogen and the team. It is available now for a lot of different phones.

What made it special is that they made the android ROM wholly from open source software called AOSP (android open source project). This means, the rom is 100% android, no touchwiz, sense, blur component at all.

It is popular because it is extremely configurable. With frequent update, you can get the latest android like android 2.3 gingerbread rather quickly rather than waiting for samsung to release an update.

There's still alot of work to be done to make the rom compatible with galaxy s. So please don't flash it if you don't know how to find and fix the bugs.

A lot more poeple wanted cyanogenmod more than a sense rom. Which is why the development comes to almost a halt.

Dear sifus, how to enable notification light (is there such a function?) for incoming sms or missed call?
Can this be done??

No led in galaxy s. But you have two options
1. Use BLN(backlight notification) control download one from the market. it'll use the menu and back button backlight https://market.android.com/details?id=nelda...ln.control.free
2. install NoLed, this will use the main screen for notifications. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.led.notify

ok something weird happened. i left my SGS on the table and it suddenly rebooted itself (like the phone just booted up) but it didn't ask me for SIM PIN.

everything rebooted, scanning media etc.
stock JPE+speedmod k13a

couldn't be rom related. kernel panic is more likely the problem. or some rouge app?

the best way to find out is to have logcat sent to an expert. since hardcore disabled logcat logging, you'll need to enable in recovery mode first. once your phone reboots by itself, save the current log. can use app like alogcat https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat

I had a strange mmi code popping up, I used alogcat to find out what's wrong.

p/s using SO kernel, I also had sudden rebooting when I did OC/UV.

That sounds promising. I might flash doc's rom from the kitchen for the first time. nitr8 is still on holiday so no updates for insanity rom yet.
