QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 12:56 PM) Hi, I read in /k/ that Samsung Galaxy isn't getting a ICS update, and most similiar spec model will probably not a ICS update too. Is that true? And can we still use a ROM based on ICS then? asked a 1000 times..the answer to that question - no official ICS - you are right. can we use rom based on ICS - yes of course....TS need to put this up at first page..

QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 01:52 PM) Well some said its no ICS at the time being. So now that this is confirmed, I'm thinking of getting Galaxy Nexus S. actually its not confirmed yet still but galaxy S isn't getting it so i dont expect galaxy w to be getting it either despite it being a newer handset. go ahead with galaxy nexus s if you really care about getting ICS

QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 02:19 PM) I'm will be using the phone for internet banking, and I might not wanna risk it using a ROM. But if anyone else got experience of using an Android Phone for personal banking, please share.  dude..using a custom ROM won't make you risk your online banking la..come on..as long as you are using a popular ROM it is fine not some shady one...what you are saying is more akin to like using a different operating system other than windows will risk spoiling your PC hardware...that's..rubbish. do you even know how custom ROMs are built anyway? The ROMs are built from the AOSP - Android Open Source Project and its not like the browser is written by some Ali/Abu developer, etc...so rest assured, it is safe.

QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 02:55 PM) Thanks for correct my way of thinking. So, is Galaxy W getting attention in the ROM community? Or is it somewhat of unpopular device (I know its popular here, but we're not the one making the ROMs). Yes there is already work in progress on an ics based custom. Don't worry. A popular handset will sure have custom rom. This post has been edited by CyberKewl: Dec 24 2011, 03:00 PM

QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 04:05 PM) I don't know how popular it is outside of Malaysia/Asia. We spend RM800 - RM900 to buy this phone. With 800 USD, you can get an Iphone4s in US. Low/mid end product is definitely not as popular there as here. Anyway thanks, I think thats the last question. Will wait for some announcement from banks before actually buying the phone now i'm a bit confused..what kind of announcement are you expecting from the banks? Are you actually expecting them to say something like : Maybank is compatible with Galaxy W - Custom ROM XXX with ICS?

QUOTE(kalandra @ Dec 24 2011, 06:50 PM) Not that. Its wasn't a question. You don't need to know. Anyway thanks. Edit : But now since you mention that, I wonder will there be any compatibility problem? nope no compatibility issues AFAIK. I've been using the popular cyanogenmod on my nexus one for months...perfect..

QUOTE(PoPoBear @ Dec 26 2011, 09:11 AM) Hi guys , need to ask few questions >.< 1. It's best for me to root my phone right ? It won't affect anything , I mean , let's say if I have musics/video/games inside the phone , will it affect them ? 2. The downloaded apps will be stored in my internet storage ,correct ? How can I make it stored in my external ( SD Card ) storage ? Thanks! 1) Well if you root just bear in mind that your warranty will void although you could un-root it back but I recall there's a way for samsung to tell that you've rooted before via some sort of counter..i cant be sure as my wife's SGW is not rooted..other than that, it doesnt affect whats in your phone. Unless u tinker with them yourself. 2) Can only be done by mapping the file path if u root it OR through some patching of the game APK, need some skills to do this - I guess u can get cowithgun for help on this, i never tried it before since my wife's SGW s not rooted. My nexus one only have 2 layers of memory so dont have such problem

QUOTE(gastacopz @ Dec 29 2011, 10:58 PM) lets say im browsing using opera...and widget locker i set 30 secs... then while loading opera and took more than 30secs..the widget lock my screen..so i need to unlock it back... so how to prevent the apps to lock when there are active apps??? inb4 disable the apps..  sounds more like screen time out setting - go to your settings > display area there and set a higher timeout. alternatively get an app like screen on toggler (my own app) - see my signature to temporarily toggle the screen timeout via the notification bar.
