i am sorry...asking this noob question for my friend. Cause I have no time to do research as galaxy w have tons of mod firmware.
My friend complaining his phone very slow. He is using latest firmware from samsung.
Anyone can suggest what's the best firmware now for this phone and how to go about updating to this firmware? Cause I read that 2.3.6 cannot be rooted easily to install CWM. So he have to Odin to 2.3.5 then root then CWM then only install some modded rom?
Please advice. Thanks.

already did the CWM v5. Don't want to spend too much time on this cause my friend is really technically not good. The odin CWM also took me more than 1 hour to teach him.

Use CWM5 or CWM6.
Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe data and cache.
Flash update*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
thanks bro!! upgrade is successful. User is happy cause upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 is a big leap. I also don't want to make things too complicated since 4.0.4 is good enough for galaxy w. thanks again all the guidance. |
