Short review of Sweethoney 2.4 ROM: (I install the WIPE version)

UI: Sleek. But overall the colour mix and match still I prefer the Darkyy scheme.

Speed: Snappy I would say. Can really feel JS5 improvement over JPY. Everything loads and opens faster. For eg. task manager>application, can scroll straight away without jerk even though it is still loading.

Bootanimation: Some thing new and better IMO.

Bugs: Other than the gallery bug (already replaced), I don't encounter others yet.. Feel less bugs than Darkyy overall.

Icons: Acceptable to me.

Battery life: No comment yet. Haven't been thoroughly tested but so far nothing significant to report. Seems normal.

Browsing Internet: Good. Fast and smooth with JS5 browser even during loading stage. Miren is faster too here compare when was in Darkyy. Not sure why.

GPS: Incredibly fast lock up. Can even lock satellites inside my bathroom. (Not able to do that last time in Darkyy)

Current settings: 10 pages in appdrawer. 7 homescreens full of shortcuts n widgets. Auto-syncing on with gmail, facebook n whatsapp. Background data on, Location on, 3G n HSDPA on. NoLED on using Accessibility. WIFI on and never off even after leaving WIFI zone. All recommended tweaks in speedmod are enabled. RFS all.


Based on initial observation, I think this ROM can last me till a stable Gingerbread comes.

Uv is under voltage. Meaning setting a lower voltage to the current processor. Lower voltage = Better battery life. Setting the voltage too low will caused the phone freeze/hang because it is underpowered. Imagine (might not necessary be true, just an example.. ) u body requires 60% water. If the water level drops below certain percentage, ur body will collapsed (eg faint). So uv is something like that. A good uv is where the voltage is lower than current, without jeopardizing the stability of the phone itself. A further reading here would explain more about uv itself.


What do u mean replace it with OK one? There are many methods to replace the gallery if the current gallery is draining too much battery.
First method:
1. Install sgs tools. U can grab one from the market under 'Captivate SGS tools' although this version (4.5) has more features to suit captivate. Older version of sgs tools will do just fine.
2.Under Upgrade Stock apps, select Modded 3D Gallery (Make sure u have online access eg. 3g/wifi) as it requires downloading the files.

Second method:
1. U need to uninstall the current gallery. U can use titanium backup (easiest one) or using root explorer.
2. Install gallery 3d from market. Search for Gallery 3d.

Good review....yup, other than the Gallery bug (which is easily solved), I haven't discover any other bugs yet...

thanks for the explanation on UV.

i just bought a sd card n slot it in.

then when i open dungeon defenders, it didnt detect my data inside sdcard in my phone, but it re-download the file into my external card....

how to prevent things like that to happen?

did you use test the gps using the given modem?..ZSJPE?...i tried and cannot find any single sats yesterday...already flashed to GB modem JVE

Yea. I use the given modem ZSJPE. Already serves me well. No reason to change it.

i want to upgrade my firmware using the latest kies but every time i try my phone will disconnect. can anyone help me to solve my prob?

wierd tho'...are you from the first batch of SGS...mine yes...hehehe...hope it got connect with that..

You need landlines for stability. Because it is a big file and Samsung servers are slow at most times. This usually happens when you use the broadband internet.

Added on March 6, 2011, 3:15 pmI got mine in Aug 2010. Don't think it is first batch. Did you tried LBS mode to test then? But if now is working fine for you, then just forget it.

thanks 4 the answer..
btw is that the only way to solve?

There is another way. You use odin to upgrade your ROM. Refer to first page for details.

owh...when i'm used the zsjpe modem i tried using lbs test mode and gps test apps...standing under the sun for straight 30minutes and doesn't have any sat in view...

now using xxjve modem...don't try it yet...because it's raining and cloudy since morning...need a clear sky...nvm...thanks for the feedback lch....

so far satisfied with simply rom..don't have FC on dialer anymore like on darkyy last time...boot off animation like old tv..i like...and seem smoother than darkyys..did not activated any tweaks or lagfix....the only things bothers me now is gps...it's not a big deal to me tho'..hehehe

I have no good explanation on that, but i did encounter the same problem before. But in my case it re-download back into my sdcard. Sometimes data corruption happens causing lost of files. But it only happens with big games downloaded into the phone..

any1 having a problem of playing youtube?

i got an error for every video in youtube

I have these values as good UV values:
Good UV Values :
1600000 -150
1500000 -150
1400000 -175
1300000 -175
1200000 -25
1120000 -25
1000000 -50
900000 -50
800000 -50
600000 -50
400000 -75
200000 -75
100000 -75

If I step down the voltage, it should be this?
Good UV Values :
1600000 -175
1500000 -175
1400000 -200
1300000 -200
1200000 -50
1120000 -50
1000000 -75
900000 -75
800000 -75
600000 -75
400000 -100
200000 -100
100000 -100

I'm currently experimenting in the most optimal values. Can you post your values as a comparison? Thanks!

problem solved..
just finished upgrade firmware..
tq

So fast. Stock ROM or custom ROM?

Yup. Thats right. By increasing the the uv, meaning u are lowering the voltage. Because it measures in -ve. If u are using the latest voltage control, u are only able to apply for value of 1280-1200-1120-1000-800-400-200-100 only. Using the old version of voltage control, u can apply the all the values u post earlier (including oc up to 1600mhz, but i doubt that) Previously i can safely oc up to 1400 with so kernal.

Here's mine:
1000 - 50
800 - 75
400 - 75
200 - 75
100 - 125

I find these value give me good stability without crashing the phone. I can go slightly lower than this but now got no time to play with it.
Btw, i don't oc as i don't do a lot of gaming, thus oc give me no extra advantage.

stock..planning to use custom later..any suggestion?

This one worth a try: Simply SweetHoney 2.4.1
