this phone camera is really >.<
the picture is blurry and the video only QVGA (320x240) which is super low pixel..

even the old htc legend can take VGA(640X480) video..both are 5mp

any method to improve the video and camera quality ..?

try to take some video..
you will feel the limits (320X240) really like back to 2005 (2mp camera)...
galaxy S 5mp can take 720p...(1280X720)

hello all!
if you want to upgrade to ginger bread you will need to give up the stock rom, as i dont find it on the internet.

i dont mind to flash to european version as it has everything i need. (just that do not have BM/Chinese pre installed)

1.the moving of screen and menu is obviously faster
2.the ram its slightly (just little) higher usage than previously
3.the camcorder is great now! 640x320
4.enhance menu for better grouping and easy navigation
5.battery usage is better (but i haven't feel this)
6.copy paste function enhanced, and its easier to use now
7. icon change, color in notification, the short cut button are different in notification

so far thats all for now.

so far half day usage no lag/no bug.
very sastisfy

i bet this firmware is a leak from the coming official 2.3 firmware for europe region, might be samsung developer purposely leak out to check the feedback from usage.


so no doubt the galaxy ace will very soon has a official gingerbread release. (european first and than only asian, weeks/months of waiting time la )

not much different
mainly is language

let say malaysian stock firmware, the system language might have BM/Chinese preinstalled

but the european one might have english/french/spanish/turkist/etc preinstalled.

it doesnt matter because i use english.

only extract one time..
than can start to load those files.
the zipped file (.tar) no need to unzip...just load it..

i also just update the latest gingerbread from samfirmware.
but there is one problem displaying chinese characters.
many chinese characters displayed as rectangle box.

any body know how to fix it? add a language pack or something
