Originally SGW is using ADW Launcher?
*
Original launcher would be TouchWiz UI. It's a Samsung developed launcher, just like HTC Sense and Motorola's Motoblur.

Probably that's the case. What program are you using to check?

SGW already got white colour  rclxub.gif

But it's still black in the front. The Christmas white for the SGA is totally white like the white S2.

hi guys...
can i get a bit more info on how to play gba games like pokemon on my SGW?
i mean, what kind of app to download and where...
tq..
*
Use an app like Gameboid as the emulator, follow installation instructions for the BIOS, then look for the ROMs at a site like coolrom.com. Run and play.

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 11 2011, 04:45 PM)
I doubt so since there's already a "white" version
*
Well, look at the SGA. Finally came out with a full white one after so long whistling.gif

I know I am a bit confused too I would rather wait for a certified method as I know there is a method at XDA and most of the users here had used it.

But it seems the popular among all is via Odin.

P/s I shall wait for arco68@XDA  release his is just the simplest using a Rooting apps n ClockworkMod Recovery
*
Odin's for flashing ROMs.

DiGi finally offered Galaxy W. Do you think I should get from DiGi or Outisde? Hmmmm~

If you're getting with the plan, then it's more worth it compared to buying the phone first then getting a separate plan.

Hmm... W runs smoothly on all apps? Any spikes or lags like Ace? I am Ace user but would like to upgrade. Cannot tahan Ace, slow. I need to change to custom rom like coderom v2x-2b and then face some other problems like swype don't hv chinese or bahasa, etc... I like iPhone 4, runs smooth, no hang or lag. Sometimes apps can load slower, but at least while using no issues. So how is W?
*
Well it's smoother than Ace since I was an Ace user last time. Most apps work fine, don't expect miracles from very resource intensive games.

Like those HD games?

Yup, HD games might stutter a bit but it's playable. GTA III runs fine if you don't mind occasional stuttering.

Now that I have the dough to buy...just wanna to reconfirm the following :

..screen is scratch resistance ?
...got no MC in box
...black or white..which is better ?
*
Scratch resistant confirmed. I even tried it with a knife on my own unit to show a customer.

No memory card included in the box.

I find black nicer to look at on a while since the front bezel is also black. If the front bezel was fully white, then white is pretty. biggrin.gif

actually nothing to be surprised about since xperia play also using this very same GPU and i think the developers purposely optimize their games for this GPU too so that they get a wider audience smile.gif

Don't forget that the drivers Samsung use make the Adreno 205 in our units far superior than the competition. icon_rolleyes.gif

bad news - galaxy S 1 wont be getting ICS - not sure if galaxy W will get it officially either:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/23/samsung...touchwiz-to-bl/
*
Well, S is still older than the W. I say we still have a fighting chance. But then again, S can run ICS fine (alpha versions looking good and has the same hardware as the Nexus S) so looks like Samsung is just not willing to support it.

PS: 2GB ROM on the S doesn't the 2GB on the W look any good either.

QUOTE(ekudz @ Dec 23 2011, 09:33 PM)
what is so hot about ICS? i think current vers is ok what ..
*
Go see the videos and you would know. It's more intuitive than GB.

Hmm... it mentioned S and Galaxy Tab which I assume is the Old Tab. There is no reason the new tabs not to get ICS. All Dual cores from Samsung I think can confirm get ICS.
*
Yes, it's the old Tab 7. The one with the same specs as the S.
