??? Why disappoint? I read review said it's built quite nicely. If I'm not wrong. Huawei devices are made by foxconn(I think so... Can't even 50% sure). I think everything is fine here. Somemore huawei is now into malaysia market. They provide two years Local warranty. Last time rarely see huawei in Malaysia. Huawei big chipset company lea. One of the giant manufacturer in network communication devices.  laugh.gif  Bluffing around... going to sleep soon. Good night  yawn.gif

Agree with you....Somehow i see Huawei also very popular in singapore for their communications gear...

What dissapoint me now is why Samsung still yet no release 4.0 for Galaxy W sad.gif

if yes, be prepared for bumpy ride! you may make mistake, stuck somewhere, but trying out new stuff and ideas give you more experiences. you will love you SGW even more biggrin.gif

+1 experience  rclxms.gif

kezra v4 is a good choice! but, step by step, root first... get ClockWorkMod first...

Okay about ClockWorkMod...Ive read the thread in XDA about it...And my brain just rclxub.gif

Can you explain to me about this mod...Whats the function...Advantage of it... rolleyes.gif

ClockWorkMod replace your "recovery" partition. Every smart phone has a recovery partition. Something bad happen, you can press the magic key, code inside the recovery partition will execute. Usually used to restore the phone back to factory setting.

Once you follow the process to replace the default "recovery" partition, whenever you press that magic key, ClockWorkMod will start. Developer added functionality in CWM so that you can format phone, install custom ROM, etc.

Un? Heheh
*
Okay I understand now...Seems like that mod is important if im gonna root/kernal...

Another question from me, let say im gonna root my device...Do i have to make a backup first for all the apps ??
And whats the different i will experience after rooting my device ?? And is it safe to root via recovery mode ?

you seem quite confused about rooting and recovery.

root = get admin access in your phone. u can root by:
1) running exploit such as zergrush, may not work in your phone is fully udated
2) flash the recovery partition using Odin. should always work regardless if your phone is updated. but installing CWM only first step. you are not getting ROOT yet. you still need to use CWM to install a custom ROM / kernel that will root the phone for you.

so, usually installing CWM is normally quite safe. no need to backup anything. wont change your app. (but i did backup my original recovery partition just in case if wanna claim warranty or anything)

once u use CWM to install custom ROM, this is the part that will drastically change your phone OS and app. that is why, before you install any custom ROM, you are always reminded to use CWM to do a full backup on your phone. the built-in backup and restore in CWM will do that for you.

without them, very hard to install custom ROM. moreover, they are good because if anything goes wrong, can use them to restore the phone.

aiyoyoyoy!!! did u read my previous post to you? got the logcat? if not, how can i help u ler???
*
Dude I kenot brain all of this... rclxub.gif But still understand the basic of it...Maybe? erhh doh.gif

Okay bro...I intended to just root my device first...And about the custom ROM maybe next time...
So if I just root my device using the instruction HERE ....How about my apps, settings and all that ?? Will it be lost or still intact like
when I update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6...??

okay if u want test the behavior of rooted phone, then find n install Root Explorer in market.
u will find more hidden files in ur phone than normal file explorer(stock My Files)

so basicaly the root phone is purpose to install others ROM, or let say change our pc OS like
ubuntu-windows-linux-redhat

but in android we called ROM with many version (CM,MIUI,Cow)
*
As if I want to disable some startup programs per se, does rooted phone can do that?

Because I sense there is some unknown program at startup...Like AP Mobile and others...
Cannot be killed before...Any advice?

To change launcher, simply install a new one. It will ask whether you want to make it default. About the turn on wifi +sleep crashed, this has been fixed long time ago... emm... Slim Shady no affected. Latest ROM not affected...


Added on February 10, 2012, 4:08 pm

Actually, you dont need root to see that. Reboot, Go to settings, application, running services. check what is running. on my rom, only the following running:

- Settings
- Task manager
- Swype

(Sometimes Google Services too, but safe to kill)

Can definitely kill any of them. But if u dont want it to start after reboot, should uninstall it. biggrin.gif

if rooted, i think can use tool to freeze it...


Added on February 10, 2012, 4:11 pm

definitely not everyone. LOL. those post here, mostly got problem. LOL. headache! not easy to maintain a ROM. easier if i just get it work in my phone. anyway, i m now testing another fun stuff minmax cpu governor.

ICS for SGW got already... but alpha 0 version biggrin.gif


Added on February 10, 2012, 4:14 pm

may be it got to do with Market cache. try go to "Setting", "Application", "Manage Application", "Market", "Clear cache" ?
*
In my running services got too much annoying apps...Is it safe to kill ?? This is the list of apps that running :

- Email ( Got 2 of them )
- Google Services
- Social Hub
- AccuWeather.com
- Yahoo Finance
- AP Mobile
- SyncmIDS


All of the above im not using and never use it actually...So is it safe for me to kill it and uninstall ??

How about startup programs? Some of them cannot be killed...
