Whew! Finally upgraded to 2.3.5. Took me 1 hour 40 minutes now how to root this firmware?

Ok thanks a lot!! But is there any other way not requiring flashing? SOC or others.

as far as i know,no other way.from what i read previously in xda,people say gingerbread has some different setting(which i not really understand)that prohibit u from rooting by soc or other.thats y cf-root is created.maybe u can try with soc 1st,but from what i read,it will not fully root ur device

After upgrading to 2.3.5, anyone here notice that when full animation is on, the lockscreen tends to lag awhile after you sweep to unlock it?

For those who have a battery problem with SGSL, here some tips base on my experience and its really works! before this my battery seem so massed up! just 8hour with nothing?? WTH!! Now im just enjoy my long life battery, its been 1 day and 7 hour of using it..

here some ss..


1. I just prefer to use the 'manual ways'..
2. This is for a root user, meaning root your device.
3. install root explorer. download from here! smile.gif

RootExplorer

4. Use your phone until the phone switches itself off (battery empty)
5. Switch on once more to make sure battery really is 0% (it will then immediately switch off once more)
6. Now, keep switched off (!), plug in charger & leave in charging until 100%
7. When battery is full, switch the phone on, unplug & check if the batter immediately drops 1 or 2 %
8. If battery immediately drops, plug in charger once more (while running phone) & let it charge completely
9. Once charging to 100% is done, don't plug off your charger, open your root explorer, at the top just click mount R/O, then it will set as mounted as R/O.
10.Ok, now open the 'Data' folder.
11.In the 'Data' folder, keep scrolling at the bottom and you will find 'System' Folder.
12.Open the 'System' folder and find 'batterystats.bin'.
13.Now you have to delete the 'batterystats.bin'. How to delete it?
14.Tap the 'batterystats.bin' and it will show the file option, select 'delete'.
15.Once it done, quick the root explorer and use the phone as usual until it switches itself off (battery empty).
16.Please don't charge your phone if the battery are not completely empty.
17.Charge your phone while running phone as usual until it shows 100% battery.
18.make sure that during discharging,don't reboot your phone or the system will create a new batterystats.bin file or if already made, it will get corrupted and you will have to start again from first step
19.Done this in 4 or 5 cycle, i mean the step 15 until step 18.
20.Now enjoy the 'long life' Samsung Battery Life!!

Note: these methods are not permanent and your battery stats may again get messed up any day, then you should repeat the method from first step.

After upgrade to gingerbread, the touch screen feel as same before, still slow response and not smooth.

Bolded steps may be replaced with the Battery Calibration app from Market, which may be easier...

Gonna try it. There are 2, CF-ROOT-DXKP9-10-11-2011.tar and CF-ROOT-DXKP9-Ext4-With-Extra-06-11-2011.tar. Since I'm on stock 2.3.5, I should get the first one, right?

EDIT: rooted succesfully. Now might wanna try EXT4. How to reverse from EXT4? Does EXT4 give a significant speed improvement?

there is slight improvement in my opinion.people say ull get significant increased in benchmarking with ext4.but benchmarking is just not my toy, so i really dont know. i read somewhere if u factory reset,ext4 will be reversed.need to double check about that

EDIT:i think the only way to reverse ext4 is by reflashing,since its the only way to reformat ur file system.
and plz take note the steps of do backup before conversion and restore after conversion and only then reboot is very important to be followed.phone may end in bootloop if u straight away reboot without a restore.

Thanks for the advice

So, all are in consensus that 2.3.5 brings better GPS performance? For those who agree:

1) May I know how you determine a GPS lock (other than use GPS Test)?
2) Did you upgrade at service center or yourself via Kies?

Thanks.

1.i just test it with papago x5, unbelievable! 7s to get voice navigation command in my house..
2.update by kies should b fine if you previously nvr flash any rom to your phone b4, it's just plug and wait..

wahahaha...gps really great....last time i gave up using the gps in the phone...cause it took really long to log signal......sumtimes as long as 20 min........even i follow the fix posted earlier...

after the upgrade...now less than 10 sec....


eh but batt life not much different??

any other improvement??

btw, updated thru kies...took around 30 min or less....with unifi connection....

Don't see any other improvement other than the over-scroll animation... and now my Power Widget for GPS cannot turn on and off, it will bring me to the Location settings page instead. Maybe need to upgrade my widget.

GO Launcher homescreen is very unresponsive now. App drawer is ok. Anyone else facing this?

more or less all 3rd party launchers are worse in GB than in Froyo...sigh...

If you are really critical, can notice that touchscreen is less responsive in GB too. The pin # lock screen is very unresponsive.

less than 30 min using unifi

anybody knows how to swap int<->ext memory after upgrade to GB just like in Froyo using SOC? After upgrade to GB, all application move to SD card (internal memory in Froyo) can't be used...

want to let go my SGP Case (1 day used).. pm me if want..
