I totally agree. Samsung would have hit a homerun with the Epic had they given it some harder corners and a little more heft but if the GSII comes in some professional packaging I may seriously consider it.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
The dual core processor isn't going to make it that much speedier. Sure it will let you listen to music, browse the web, and play games at the same time. But actual game performance won't be that much improved. Just as it was with PCs and multiple cores.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Not Getting the GS2 AT ALL!!

im Getting the Evo 3D

why you ask? Looks like neither will have keyboards and the Evo gets all the Dev love.

Plus 1.2 Dual core ... i don't need more than that these processors are sooo overclockable its crazy...

Also i think alot of people will never buy Samsung again so its Dev community will even be smaller....

I hope Sprint changes the looks of it if they get it, I dont like the way it looks.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Name the era. Of course a 2010 2.1ghz is going to blow away a 2006 2.1ghz. The refinement isn't the cores, but how much the processor can do with a single clock.

2006 dual cores were no faster than 2006 single cores, except for multi-tasking.

Just as quad cores in 2009-2010 had little benefit over their dual core counterparts, unless you are doing video encoding or 3d rendering via blender or maya.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
you'll barely notice the speed difference in the Evo3d or The GS2 compared to the Epic right now... but it will make a HUGE difference overall like the battery life and other thingys
[Epic 4G General] sheltem:
Here's a preview of the international version of the Galaxy S II. The 8 megapixel camera is the best they have ever seen and can record 1080p video with full 30 fps! I hope for the Sprint version they leave out the keyboard and put in an even bigger battery (already a solid 1650mah). I'll take this over the HTC Evo 3d. 3d is such a silly gimmick.

[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Howso? Larger screen. Dual core. Those take up a lot more battery.

The only way I can see it being better is gingerbread, or they include a much larger battery.1800-2000mah.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Dual core != worse battery life. They split the workload resulting in the same (if not better) battery as a single core thanks to improved efficiency.

If they do get better life it is because they are created on a smaller die and take less volts

More cores on the same die size always takes more power to run.
[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
Gonna ride out the Epic I think. I dont get a upgrade for another year plus so unless I find a good deal on a used one. Speedwise, the Epic is still near the top of the market as it is. Only thing that worries me with the SII vs Evo 3D is development.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Keeping my Epic until it no longer runs the apps I need it too.

I've said this before, but I read peoples posts through here talking about if it is sexy, and I cannot wait.. etc . . .

It is a phone, a tool. I've never considered my hammer sexy, so I guess I just don't get it. I mean it is almost as if people act as if that next upgrade will make life oh so much better. I hope for them it does :D
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
I am waiting for a Dual-Core Nexus phone. I'm tired of carrier/manufacturing skins leading to delays (this goes for HTC with the Hero, Samsung with the Epic, Motorola, etc.).

So if the SGII is a clean installation, then I'll think hard about it. If it's preloaded with skins and carrier programs that will affect upgrades, then I will pass and gladly wait.
[Epic 4G General] derrickmd18:
i'm sorry but the hell with epic. they messed up the phone from the jump and still and screwed us on the upgrade. I'm going HTC EVO 3D or just getting Boost new android phone and pay only 50 A MONTH.

Do you have a woman? If so, did you just pick the first one to come along and call it good? After all, they all have vaginas.

What about your car? Did you grab the first one you saw or did you actually CHOOSE your vehicle?

If design was irrelevant, all woman, cars, clothes, shoes, houses, computers, roads, bridges, etc would be exactly the same.

So yeah, I want a friggin' sexy phone, girlfriend, car, etc. I want one that I like to look at as much as play with.

Imo who cares what samsung of anyone has loaded on the phone. You're just going to flash a different rom lol.

I really want an sgs2. But I don't really dig the looks. Epic2 is what I'm truly waiting for :) 4.3 inches with a keyboard. The insane thinness of the sgs2.

=best keyboard on a phone ever. I I have to guess it'd probably be the same thickness or less than the i4. My hopes are up lol im one of the few people that actually love the way my epic looks. The only problem i have with it is the camera placement and it isn't flush to the phone. the flash is too bright too lol but other than that I love the rubberized back and black slab face.

Btw I really hope they keep the usb door slide thingy. After having my phone for months my usb jack is clean. I love that and don't want to lose that feature. One of the smallest yet biggest feats for the epic imo

I have a woman, but she is called my Wife. I would never think of her as upgradable so I won't even go there, but really you compare your woman to your cell phone?

I choose my vehicle, but sexy is definately not a criteria I went out with when looking.

I guess in this day and age you can design a woman. Pick what plastic you want where, but WOW!!

And I have other concerns if you are just staring lovingly at your phone telling it how sexy it is....

I am a bit concerned if others share your opinions. I hope you still live with your parents.
[Epic 4G General] akijikan:
Not after my experiences with the Galaxy S aka Epic 4G.

I've learned some valuable lessons in weighing user experience vs. sex appeal.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Industrial design can be considered sexy without delving into the weirdness of caressing it and talking to it.

Comparing a woman to a cell phone? Why not? I'll compare women to cars and fruit baskets if I need to make a point. Drawing similarities is NOT the same as placing them on equal level.

That's quite a big, sad leap you made.

Oh and if a phone is just a tool, why did you choose a fancy Epic? Why not a pink flip phone?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I'll stick with my Epic for the next year and a half unless something blows me away. Any of the upcoming phones don't seem like a big enough upgrade for me to drop another 200-300 dollars on one. When apps start coming out that the Epic has a hard time handling I'll change my tune, but I don't forsee that happening for a long time. It's not in the same realm as going from something like a PS2 to a PS3/Xbox360.
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I have to admit that, as someone with both a cellphone and a wife, I am deeply offended by his comparison as well, and I hope dchawk81 will see the error of his ways and issue an apology to my Epic.

Do for those that want the evo I know the community will be bigger but are you all worried about getting root/custom recovery on it? Its gonna be locked down just like the thunderbolt is and incredible. The only reason why they got root on the thunderbolt is cause they had an older prerelease ruu that they used. The incredible still to my knowledge doesn't have root yet. I do give sammy that they don't lock their phones down yet.

HDMI is handled by the new charging port (it's supposed to be the new standard to replace micro-usb, can't remember the name).

The iPhone-ish home button handles the Home key function, but god only knows why they didn't at least make it useful by having it be a trackpad.

1. What about SETCPU?

What about it? You can use w/e cpu OC tool you want

2.Where can I find out whats all in this Kernel?

Click on the link under CHANGELOG, I will update it with every change as they are completed

3.Why dont I get #### in Quadrant?

Quadrant is dated and is easily changed based on I/O and RAM. Use a better Benchmark like Nenamark, Smartbench2011, or Antutu Benchmark.

4.Can I use this is XYZ ROM?

OF COURSE! =} just credit me

5.Where can I get the latest news on anything your Doing?

my Twitter, link in the Sig

6. Will DragonMODz be for anything other then Tmobile GalaxyS/Samsung phones?

If someone else wants to do it sure =P I'm only one guy

Screen off Profiles are not needed or recommended on this kernel (its got it handled =P)

Just so people know, this kernel will stay @ 800mhz or less most of the time, you have to actually put load on the cpu for it to clock up (benchs, gaming,etc)
[Vibrant Android Development] wu_wei_lion:
I'm going to try flashing this as soon as I disable voodoo. I'm running trigger 3.0.1 so it's a 2.2 kb5 based ROM. A couple of questions... Will there be a voodoo enabled version of this once it's been tested? What would you need from testers?
[Vibrant Android Development] wu_wei_lion:
Lock up during boot with Trigger. I even odined back to stock, reinstalled trigger and flashed your kernel on top before reboot and got the same result. Any suggestions? What ROM are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Just flashed now - running at 1.4ghz w/ setcpu set to conservative with a screen off profile @ 800 max conservative. Ran Quadrant - only getting 1150 (I know, Quadrant isn't a perfect benchmark), I'll report back with more. I will say the browser was loading up pretty fast though.

Edit - First Nenamark run @ 41fps
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
You flashed trigger, then the kernel while still in recovery? You shouldn't flash the kernel right away, let trigger boot up and sit, then flash the kernel. Might be your problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackoakx22:
will this kernel work on 2.2.1? if so i will test
[Vibrant Android Development] ECOTOX:
1. Yes there will b a voodoo version with bln,etc and a beta or two more for when I add a few new features

2. I'm running a beta of my DragonMOD rom I'm working on

3. All I need from u guys is what speed u end up stable @, u can run games, benchs, etc. to determine stability. I can only reach 1.3, I had to set a profile in setcpu that puts it @ 1ghz on boot then clock up from there till freezing.
[Vibrant Android Development] ECOTOX:
I have only tested on 2.2, 2.2.1 will probably have issues. If u run 2.2.1 & it didn't work then that might b the problem and ill need to add support for 2.2.1

[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:

[Vibrant Android Development] wu_wei_lion:
Hmm... Good to know. I've done on a few ROMs with overstock as my kernel and had no issues. Time to go back to stock and try again! Is it better to let stock sit for the requisite 15 minutes before flashing or is it safe to just go right out of the gate?
[Vibrant Android Development] ECOTOX:
And nobody coimplained when my name got jacked
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
And you dont see me complaing that BlackIce got jacked, and the look as well.

This whole dev community went to **** quick, which is one of the reasons I left.

Im just saying that people might get confused, and flash this thinking it's tt's kernel, and if there were issues, go to tt with complaints.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dan_Brutal:
I never let stock sit. I get it rooted and flashed as quick as possible. Nothing stock is safe lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] ECOTOX:
Just before u start saying someone "jacked" a name, slow down and reword it dude. Thats offensive and this is a test, it's going to b an entire ROM not just kernel. The name is based on DBZ. My TOXIC got "jacked" and first thing that popped into my has was DragonMOD as I was watching dragonballz.
[Vibrant Android Development] rubbamade:
Ok..i remember reading something a while back about a DoW kernel that was screwing up phones because of the overclock...

this isnt going to happen with this kernel is it?

and also have seen the 1.48ghz kernel floating around...i guess that hasnt fried any phones either?

any input?
[Vibrant Android Development] ECOTOX:
Idk why DoW might b doing that, but with this one I cant say anything cuz its being tested. It shouldnt as the voltages arent high so not much risk there, and its really just a basic OC kernel till voltage and clock testing is finished, then i'll be adding voodoo,bln,etc.

You can take comfort and know I have been running this myself for 2 days now, I would not post something I wasnt willing to/was testing myself at the same time, so anything that happens to you will happen to me =)
