I thought you guys might have Just in response to the comment above about the potential battery problem.

Seems like only tegra 3 has this extra companion core, not sure whether other quads have this or not

guys,is this the stock firmware for ICS ???


http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s2-ic...firmware-xxkp8/

Even most PC software these days don't utilize 2 or more cores... Only when it comes to professional software/games then Dev would spend more time to enchance/compatible with today's evolving hardware. 4 cores do look nice, but doesn't play nice on today's apps...

KP8 is one of the leaked firmware and not new.

Companion core helps with idling, like when your phone is in deep sleep state I assume. Which in general your phone doesn't consume much in deep sleep anyways.

When cores are booted up, depends on how often all 4 cores get booted up I guess. vs actual usage.

The only apps that utilise quad are probably minimal tegra 3 optimized games atm

Try clear data for whatsapp and try sync again. Mine no issue after flash checkrom v6

One of old saying is "better have it although not needed rather than don't have it when needed"
Same goes to quad cores :-P

Meh sometimes less is moreeeeeeeeee

Got pros and cons la obviously, but I'm not particularly excited about it. Though if Tegra optimized games grow, might be rather attractive

but tis is for ics ryte?

Yes its ICS but it have bugs. Latest is KPH.

touchpal keyboard are indeed amazing
i actually throw away all those samsung stock, swype keyboard and even those purchase keyboard

with touchpal keyboard i can easily switch between english and chinese input in the keyboard screen itself
but only draw back is that they lack of malay language pack

other than that swipping and text prediction is awesome

Just consider it as one of the future feature. One year from now..who knows.? :-)

is tis original samsung firmware bro?

Then when the time comes baru beli. Don't wanna jump on bandwagon as guinea pig

Same here. Not so excited as i would rather they focus more on batt life instead of giving it more power that would probably not be fully utilized. But depending on the architecture of the cpu, the cores should be easily controllable with the right kernel.

do those unlocking shops in LYP does custom ROM too? Coz its too mindfucuking for me @@

Its leaked samsung firmware. Not officially release.

You trying to root your phone or building your own roms.?

For me, if I want to Swype = Touchpal Keyboard

If I don't want to Swype = SwiftkeyX keyboard


They are both very good keyboards and what I like most is the word prediction.....
