QUOTE(ZRong223 @ Dec 11 2011, 02:40 PM) Wow! Yep, just buy original G set with 2 yrs warranty from Samsung instead of AP set with no warranties (AP warranties as good as no warranties!!).If so, then we don't need to worry about the performance difference between G and non-G version, do we?  |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Dec 11 2011, 01:26 PM) Official Malaysia one lar...i just log on to KIES (install KIES yesterday) and check the latest firmware.. i bought my phone also already come withAndroid: 2.3.6 Baseband: I9100GDZKJ2 kernel version: 2.6.35.7 Just run the antutu benchmark and compared the below: http://10division.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-gt...ow/#comment-525 This blog shows the G running at 1008Mhz at the Antutu benchmark results and scores much lesser 4xxx. Mine managed 54xx (compared to the 56xx of the non-G shown above) and the CPU frequency on mine shows 1200Mhz instead of 1008Mhz.  So the performance is almost on par whereby previously quiet significant gap.Official firmware yah, no hack-hack coz i dun want to kill my new SGS2 yet...  ..Android: 2.3.6 Baseband: I9100GDZKJ2 kernel version: 2.6.35.7 and i use antutu bench mark also around 5455 for 2nd time.. but if not wrong i benchmark point for 1st time is above 5.4 maybe 5.5 i not sure.. but my cpu dint go to 1200.. even i set it 1200 it go 1008 erm i have a question, if ICS out i update throught KIES i need to UNROOT? or just update like normal.. and it will become unroot after the kies update This post has been edited by eddie2020: Dec 11 2011, 03:31 PM |

QUOTE(kldoc @ Dec 11 2011, 03:44 PM) More likely a bad integration of the browser into the rom, tried changing browser ? I personnally use Dolphin HD browser which is excellent ! nah, i am just waiting for the stable ics to be released, so far been playing around tweaking my rom.. So Creezalird, no idea about the fact that Galaxy Nexus and i9100G are very similar ? I really don't know where to find this kind of information, chinese forums are stuck on flashing kernel for rooting, and in XDA no one seems to have an idea, nearly no mention of I9100g on cyanogenmod, not really surprising, and MIUI chinese forum says all dev on ICS. Fact is Nexus already on ICS, that's why i ask ... And there are some custom roms too ... Ok i found someone on XDA who tried, but failed so far ... Netchip  |

I didn't mean that it would be interesting for unofficial release, but rather for custom roms

I'm more laidback with this phone. Found "stable" Custom ROM and stick with it. Hence the decision to stick with SuperROM v1.0 and superatmos kernel v1.1.
For cooking and baking, I have Nook Color to play with. |
