Guys, I know this question is general but which Custom stock base ROM do you think is the best for I9100?

I'm eyeing for lightning rom but just want to make sure. Doesn't have a lot of time to experiment different ROMs as I need to travel in a few days.

Thanks.
*
Lite'ning ROM is old and seem to be dead. I do not recommend using it. Better go for check rom, foxhound, androidmeda, villain, leomar, etc.

After fully charged, doesn't look good.

It was heating in my pocket, just listening to radio!

Was it the ROM's problem?

Again how hot is hot. This is a rather thin device and any heat can be felt immediately. Do you use casing? BTW do you have facebook install, if yes can you uninstall facebook app and monitor.

this one taken from my call apk. still need to press the noise reduction off manually?

I thought if you see no zigzag pattern on the call screen means the noise reduction is off. I also blur. rclxub.gif

turn off wifi sharing if not using it

Gonna be difficult for me to feedback. The kernel dun stay long enough on my device. LOL. Blame it on gokhan. Example I am on beta 6 now. shocking.gif

But i have to comment, any of the 2.2 beta is way smoother and better than 2.1 except beta 4 that gave me SOD.

So the 2.2b6 is running on 1 core unless I use Tegrak 2nd core? He makes no mention of it in his b6
*
Yeah same as 5.1. Its running default NOT 1 core. You need to use tegrak 2nd core app to change to either 1 core or 2 core and set at boot if you want.

Speedmod is good. No denying that. But I like to try new things that gokhan brings out. Speemod seems kinda boring to me.

Edit: I do not get better battery life with speedmod. For me batt life with siyah and speedmod is about the same.

Hi guys, want to ask how to block a number from sms my friend. She has added the number to the black list already but still the sms can get thru to her phone.

Please advice... she is receiving obscene sms from the same number for a couple months and seem the caller knows her name.

There are apps on the market such as call blocker droid, aFirewall etc. that can block sms as well. But if this is a real stalker wouldn't it be better to make a police report for her safety.

U mean the new siyah kernel only runnibg on 1 core?
*
Tegrak found a way for us to select how many core we want to run. Gokhan hav included it into his kernel. So we just need tegrak dual core app free on market to change it with either siyah or tegrak kernel.

I do not see why people would force it to run on 1 core. Using OndemandX, I can see the second core shut down and the first go to 100MHz even with the screen on but not touching the screen.
*
Hehe you should try with 1 core and see how smooth it is. Actually this help gokhan make an important discovery. When people start reporting 1 core is smoother, including myself (previously running smartassV2 or lulzactive make my ADW app drawer lag, with 1 core it is smoother meaning 0 lag), gokhan is thinking that the second core is kicking in too much. He have increase the value from 50 to 70 (i think this is cpu load) before the second core start kicking in in Beta 6. Also he remove the need for the second core to run when screen turn on. It really makes a difference.

why wanna use only 1 core if we have 2? will this extend the battery life more?

otherwise, we can just buy galaxy W then.hahahaha! just joking.
*
Theoretically yes. But as you know I am not after battery life, I want a smooth and fast device. Kinda weird that the device is smoother on 1 core than 2 core. doh.gif But gokhan seems to have figured it out why. brows.gif

Added on November 10, 2011, 2:23 pm
Im guessing Its smoother on one core cuz like pc rule, d interface doesnt necessarily benefit fr multi thread cores cuz d program written is not utlises 2cores. But thts just my hunch. .multitasking n video convertion n graphic work only benefit d most fr multicores.the best thing is tht it definitely more power efficient, just like why ulv laptop can powerboost to very high oc n can 1 core deep sleep when not needed e.g. 2nd gen intel 1.3 oc to 2ghz cuz d speedstep tech get so improved already. Tis myb cn really help on batt life if they can write the relevant app lol
*
Its smoother because the second core was kicking in too often.

antt00, you mean i have to add setting in setcpu profiles? or only set the Governor in the default profile? how to view whether is running single or dual core? need to install app?
*
I use voltage control to change governor. You need tegrak dual core app to change to single core. Flashing only the kernel will not give you single core. Its free on the market.

@ant00 any change in battery life with screen on usage with SINGLE core.. report here ar..lol

so far most governor gives about the same battery life in SCREEN-ON usage.. thruout my weeks of testing...

Dunno can monitor or not. I change kernel too often because of gokhan and also changing governors and stuff. Better you try out yourself and evaluate cos my usage and yours will be different.

Dunno. Checkrom 2.0 does not come with siyah kernel but hellcat kernel. You have to test other kernel. The rom is fine for me.

Hi all, can i checked:
when upgrade firmware via samsung kies,
how to backup the apps so my apps save file such as whats app conversation, viber conversation, game saved file can be restored when i finish the upgrade firmware process.

i only know contact, music, sms can be backup via samsung kies but not apps.

thanks
*
Upgrading rom through kies does not wipe. But you can use apps such as my backup pro to backup or titanium backup if your rooted.
