my next phone thinking of HTC, after trying out the sense, really love how they make it simpler for everything

omg... im give up and tired.. until now i still cant connect my phone with odin or kies... haishhh... now stuck with JVB... is it possible to flash JVH using CWM?

too bad I found out the lockscreen's not the same with prototype SGS II's lockscreen, where it'll bounce. no $$ to change to SGS II for me la
wanna ask, how's 3d gaming on JVH? laggy compared to 2.2.1??

For me I've been using Darky 9.5 + Damianto for months and I can say it's stable and snappy.
I've tried out Speedmod, Dark core and damianto kennel with benchmarking. And I find that Damianto is edging out the other kennel.

Many forumers have tried Gingerbread, I'd like to in future (not sure when?)when everything has become stable (lagfix..etc), but I need to gather more information when I have time. I see some forumers also soft brick their SGS (sounds a bit scary to me). Anyway, I can't really sort out what are pro points of Gingerbread over Froyo (I'm still an happy Darky 9.5 user, as it's snappy, and I like the input methods in this ROM esp the Chinese Keyboard-with traditional chinese and not to forget the voice record for phone calling)

gingerbread is smoother with some extra features like crt animation, scroll overglow and etc

yeah I actually noticed that when I'm on CM7. no need to lock-unlock to enable data. but I need codec support from Samsung.

1) yes, it's true. CM7 doesn't lag at all. I know this very well. but codec support is what makes me jump back to Samsung rom. I want to be able to brag to my friends that I don't need to convert any of my videos to be played in my phone.
2) as I thought, there are still lags in MIUI.

now waiting for full TW4 icons on Goatrip JVH. that's what this rom lacks. everything else just AWESOME!

Has any forumer tried Modded maps?
Mind sharing some comments?

After using the SGS for a week, here is my little review of the Samsung Galaxy S

The main problem with this phone is the firmware. With the stock firmware that came with the phone from samsung, most people will hate this phone eventually. I try the stock firmware by installing a live wallpaper and put a couple of widgets on the screen and that is enough to make me wanna flash custom firmware immediately. With just a few widgets and live wallpaper, the phone start too lag and quite badly too. How could the stock firmware be so laggy even with a 1gz cpu?

But flashing the phone to custom firmware did solve part of the lagging issues. I am on Darky's Extreme v9.5 and its extremely smooth but still lag in certain places. Things are really smooth on the home screen but the icons scrolling in the app drawer is not as smooth. I have use use the iphone 4 a lot and I can say the iphone is a damn smooth phone. The other area I notice lagging and quite badly is the call logs and the call favorites. Is this a problem with is particular firmware andcan this be solve is not sure. But that somehow shows that this is not a very smooth phone.

I have read a lot about other custom rom and all seems to have a fair share of bugs. So there is really no rom that can make the SGS works like it should be.

The next thing i wanna talk about is the screen. I heard a lot about how great is the Super Amoled screen on the SGS but my feeling is somehow mixed on this one. The super amoled is indeed a colorful screen and its really sharp. The black is really beautiful too and i love the 4 " size which is not too big and not too small. But somehow the color is too oversaturated and inaccurate. My wife was asking why is the screen color look so fake! I was comparing the same web page with my friends iphone 4 side-by-side and the iphone 4 screen is brighter with the background white that looks white, while the same background on the SGS is blueish instead of white. I was applying a screen protector yesterday under a bright table lamp and I can see the SGS glass is actually blue color. This really affect the color of the picture as it looks very un-natural.

The other thing I notice is that the gps is broken. Sometimes I can get a lock on the gps stations, but sometimes it just won't work. Considering that I bought this phone 9 months after its official release, how come samsung continue to produce this phone with a broken gps that is not fixed?

Battery life is quite good as I can use the phone for the whole day till i need to recharge before I go to bed with moderate usesage.

The other thing I find lacking is the Android Market. I am starting to miss the Apple's App Store. The apple store have both quantity and quality software to suits almost anybody, but the same cannot be said about the Android Market. Its just no comparison.

Anyway, the above is just my views regarding the SGS after 1 week. Hope there is a better firmware coming up.

lol customization is home screen is d same lo, but der is touchwiz 4 port for d gb rom

smoothness of d appdrawer scrolling depends on the launcher you're using

you can change the screen colour through speedmod kernel

gps is noticeably better in the gb rom. darky's 9.5 is a froyo rom i suppose?

I am on Darky Extreme v9.5 too. Very smooth home screen but do you notice any lag in the call logs?

Ya, still enjoying the lagless CM7 ha ha. Codec support not critical to me ever since I dumped my iPad and got myself a Galaxy Tab, a much better MKV/AVI/RMVB/WMV/FLV/MP4 player gadget than the SGS can ever hope to be.

Yep, MIUI still has lags, sadly. Good thing I didn't like its UI.

not really sure about the 3D gaming, havent tried it out yet as i only flashed JVH last night and i dont really play much 3D games. perhaps someone who plays those kinda games frequently can answer your question. but im quite happy with the battery performance so far, was around 85% when i flashed last night, now almost 17hrs still got 33% left. for me that is good, cos on previous 2.2, the battery would be drained by now. but still, its too early to tell if this performance is consistent.

sorry guys, will be leaving this thread, just got me a galaxy s2.

if anyone's interested in a mint condition, absolutely scratchless Maxis set (Galaxy S), please PM me.

sir, perhaps you can read this article to give u a better understanding and comparison with IP4 : http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_gala...-review-500.php

for me, there is no such thing as a better phone or the best phone, each individual have their own requirements and they make their own choice on what phone they want. the problems you mentioned has been around for a long time since SGS was launched, the good thing is there are fixes for it and most SGS users like the phone because of the they get to play around with different firmwares and not be bogged down by I-OS rigid control. still if one wants a good reliable phone, i will advise them to get IP4 but for me, SGS is still fun and i chose it cos of the specs of the phone.
