it's a dual core phone, if it's not smooth and responsive then what's the purpose of dual core?

this is a simple story on a noob trying to root:

my friend (who's a girl) actually love this phone so much, she bought it, tested the stock ROM for half a day and decided to root and flash custom ROM on her own! and she's not a techie, she doesn't has any experience in android whatsoever! she spent 2 days reading all the technical stuff (she said thank god her english is good enough) and then tried rooting it. first time she got it right (rooting done, no flashing yet). then don't know why when turning the phone to landscape mode the whole UI lagged like hell. it happens every time it switches to landscape. so she un-root it the other day, did a factory reset and then re-root it AGAIN! after she root her phone the 2nd time (in 2 days...) she was stuck on what to do because she doesn't know whether it's rooted or not since she forgot to flash a file on Odin (i forgot what file already). she obviously has no idea how to test the phone to see whether it's rooted and panicked....she called me.

after i tested it on terminal emulator and some apps that needs root access, i confirmed it is rooted. the next step (obviously) is flashing custom roms, so she did that on her own (with me by her side)....she said later when she got bored she'll OC it...

damn that girl has balls...errr...not real ones obviously but RESPECT

actually all telcos in malaysia also the same, maxis also sucks during special occasions
