guys, pls recommend good custom rom ? thx!

HAH! find the root cause

i put phone on table and accidentally while typing on pc keyboard, i smack a bit my phone. but my phone rotating itself and stop. weird. take my phone and inspect at the back part. i feel it with my hand, surface not flat. like bloating. then i open battery cover. oh my. my battery BLOATING.... already curved shape. so this was the problem

i've bought battery yesterday for rm90 original

the most stable build will be GB rom but it was kind of boring right? Go for CM9 if you want a balance between battery life and performance. CM10 or 10.1 will be good if you wanna try the taste of JellyBean (but the battery drain is quite serious)

Hi....just updated my Galaxy W with [ROM][JB][4.1.2][JZO54K] CyanogenMod 10 BETA (Build 1).

Somehow, the external sd is unavailable. But if go to root..the external sd is all intact, only by normal file manager it's unavailable.

Tried binding it with terminal emulator and directory binder however the app keep stating could not find directory...

So sifus....any help.

backup first

try wipe and update to 4.2.2 alpha 3?

About 1.5 year old, and battery not holding charge. Goes flat in half a day when normally can last for 2 or even 3 days.

Standard original ROM, not heavy use - thought it might last longer but doesn't look like it.

Any recommendations on battery replacement?

hello to all sifu, and some galaxy w user.
i'm a Galaxy W user, i've seen some Galaxy w is root and something like CM10
what is different between them ? and is there any high risk of upgrade that ?
any tips before doing something like that ?

I think that is custom rom,
Like you I just a newbie,recently just root and put CWM and then flash to custom rom slimbean 4.2.2
So far more smooth compare with stock rom.
But just notice, there is no option for video call using 3g network.

hi guys, is there anyway to backup my phone that cant be turn on? my custom rom rosak ><

Can't even boot into cwm recovery?

read through the thread will helps you a lot.

recovery is the only way other than titanium backup

can boot into recovery. how can i backup the data [contacts/photo/video using that]
my phone stuck on the CM10 loading --got a green circle, cant turn on.

You can try to flash the CM10 again. Wipe /system in recovery. Dont wipe /data. Maybe then you can boot your phone again. Or if you have some apps (downloaded app) that prevent you from booting, try to boot into safe mode and delete that app. IINM, holding volume down button while turning on boot you into safe mode.

If cannot, u can always mount the sdcard to pc from the recovery and then copy your photo/video there. But for contact, i'm sorry i dont know about that.

will try your method. mount the sd to pc, is it connect the phone to pc while in recovery mode.
sorry for so many questions

Ya it suppose so. You can connect either sdcard or external_sd storage from recovery. At least that what i can do with TWRP recovery.

recently my sister complaint that her galaxy w cant install too many app due to small internal storage.
so i root the phone, do the storage swapping trick, but then the phone become too slow to use. checked at the back, only class 4 microsd.
so if i replace it with class 10 microsd, does it make any significant difference?

Sure it will make some differences, but if it involve RAM, i think that doesnt solve it. You know right, the more apps you install, the more RAM it will consume. Doesnt matter if it running or not. Galaxy W is limited on RAM. So i wanna suggest one app for you to try.

Try this if you never try it before. Since your sister's W is root, try Greenify app from play store. Just select any app (downloaded one) to be greenified when screen is off. It will force close those apps. Save the usage of RAM, and battery too. Just be careful selecting the apps. Example, selecting whatsapp will prevent you to receive the msg.

i dont think its due to ram, because she only like to install games.

thus, i would like to know does using class 10 microsd vs class 4 microsd have any significant difference after we swap the internal storage to sdcard?

I think it will be faster when running apps or games installed on that sdcard. Even on xda they recommend to have at least class 6 to do the swap. But if the phone lag in UI, thats another story i think.
