my feedback on kp9 ...

camera started to work after second flashing .. But GPS is not working as expected in maps, even though it works in GPS Test. During calls the volume will slowly go down to mute (crazy ... happened twice) .. No GPRS ... WIFI works ..

Good points ...

phone is more fast,

sound quality improved (especially speaker volume)

My verdict .. do not update to KP9 .. wait for few more weeks for the stable version of 2.3.4

I am going back to KB3.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
What I don't seem to understand is why don't they just include the whole overglow. CRT and whatever feels great so it's user choice to keep or disable them in settings. Im actually annoyed by their lack of customer feedback. It's like a gf. Your forced to accept the changes and not ***** about it

Hello guy should i hab 2 wait 4 official update via kies. Or should i flash via odin.waiting is irritating when gingerbread is floating all around us..please suggest me wat should i do?.will samfirware gona provide us with official gb after dev gb?

Wait if u dnt wana experiment.

Yea, samfirware wil provide d official GB, as soon as its released/leaked
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chiran123:
google video chat is not working for me ..... what should i have to do to enable the video chat ....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
IMO, You should experiment while you have the chance. Atleast you will learn the two and fro of the Odin flashing ways. It's tedious work but atleast you will get the hang of what to do incase your phone acts up. After all Android is still in this nurturing stages. So expect reflashing often---That and who updates using Kies anymore? Kies is a horrible software we're tied down to.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Yea bt some ppl might nt wana do such stuff tats y i jus mentioned...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
True :P But then again, Kies only gives regional firmwares. I doubt there's a way you can get XXKB3 by Kies. Unless you live in EUR. He'd have to learn to flash one way or another or India's version of GB will be released probably late sept. Till then he's going to be stuck with FROYO when everyone's in GB mate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Yea, correct.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Thanks for this version dude.. Been looking everywhere for this version..:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Please do not quote whole long posts unless utterly necessary. Just a part of relevance from within the post would be enough.

If the bluetooth is left on and its been a while since the phone's been in sleep, the system auto-switches it off to save battery. It should not happen while music is playing though. Hasn't happened with me in 3 hours of playing music through bluetooth.

Please remove previous Samsung drivers and re-install.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kuyagic:
I'm not use the stock music player, I removed the stock music player and use PowerAMP instead. Is the stock music player needed ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Not really, but why would you do that on a DEV ROM? Anyway, it should be fixed in the upcoming public RC release/leak in a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kuyagic:
I've configed poweramp to keep back service solved this. :D

waiting for the rc
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Thanks for the root explorer. Here is my first feedback for XXKP9:

1. XXKP9 has rfs file system instead of ext4 (read somewhere that GB has ext4)

2. touchwiz 3 and 4 has a noticeable lag. You close an application and go from one page to another or hit Home key and move from one page to another and there is a noticeable lag, which was not in froyo

3. I have many games, naming few: angry birds Rio and season, asphalt, avatar, fast n furious, lets golf, jet car stunts, NFS, aging thunder 2, samurai 2 etc. None of them worked with GB, which for me is not good.

Good things have already been mentioned for the ROM.

Currently, back to Froyo because of games not working and lag
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
My opinion/notes/feedback of xxkp9 (using for 24hrs)

1. Flashed twice since coming from KP3 - no issues

2. Kernel panic numerous times after installation (using Adfree, removing app via Titanium) but this is understable given its a dev ROM.

3. The touch sensitivity of the ROM is different from Froyo. I felt like I could move/navigate faster in Froyo vs GB. Eg: A quick flick of my finger in contacts/launcher does not register when the same one used to in Froyo. A lighter touch was needed to select apps in GB it seems my actions need to be more deliberate. (Edit: Anything I am doing wrong here?)

4. No performance improvements. All my apps and games work, however no performance improvement noticed, infact there is a bit of a lag in the stock launcher.

5. I had no problems with WIFI or GPS in Froyo, both work well/same in GB.

6. Call quality/sound seems fine (so far)

7. No SOD (knock on wood :). Have not used KP7 so dont have first hand knowledge.

Seems ok (minus the screen sensitivity change), but I wish I was seeing the performance improvements others are referring to.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
which games?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
There is an improvement. I don't know if you realized the apps launch almost instantly compared to the FROYO KB3 where it took its sweet time buttering the app to launch. Then again, Everyone's entitled to their own versions of what feels fast. If you updated from KP7 to KP9 then maybe you wouldn't feel much
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shariqa12:
Angry birds, trail extreme, dismount, fruit slice, etc
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dpkpkr:
Well as i know there is no improvement.only the sound quality is improved.i replaced my stock kb2 rom with this kp9...its feels like downgrade rather than a upgrade..it lags more than foryo..touch wigets lags more than before even the scrolling is not smooth imas foryo. neocore benchmark test show only 40 or 41 fps...were as before i used 2 get 45-46fps on foryo..also system is using more ram than before.i dont c improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well it is a DEV rom, So its bound to be bounded by problematic schemes like the ad free FC issues, and so many others. Probably this way only because its trial vs error. Probably leak it, Wait for people like us to test it and write up problems [Because truth be told we users tend to find problems faster than their team probably would bother] and then in a weeks time fix it and release another leak for us to work on :P But i like the minor improvements. Something is better than nothing i guess. Better than knowing samsung gave up development on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] podanimesh:
battery is draining faster than charging...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dpkpkr:
I think galaxy sl is power hungry device..it might b hardware or software issue. Dont know ..if the problem is in hardware it cant b solved...sl gets very hot more qugetkly like a heater so battery drains faster. Charge is being drained 4 generating useless heat. Playing phone while charging makes fone very hot like its gona explode.. portable heater in ur pocket:D ..will b good for winters haha..other smart fone dont hab heating features dat we r enjoying haha..samsung wants to keep their customers warmer as winter is near:D ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Okay! So here is my review after nearly a week of testing and stuff...

1) The GPS worked properly but when i move at a speed of 50-60 km/h it says no network available and closes itself.

2) When i download more than 3 apps at a time,from teh market of course, the phone either re-boots or the apps do no download.

3) As many said, the phone is prerooted..I believe it to be false...as my phone does not root!!

4) EDGE and 3G are working perfectly.

5) The USB connection is perfect

6) Wi-Fi - It take much time to lock in my Wireless device when i am at a distance of 0.3 meters to it.

7) Camera is perfectly working.

8) I am able to play .mkv and .avi files using Mobo player
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Most of the problems probably could have been resolved by doing hard-reset before and after flashing.

Phone should not be getting hot while charging. Generally it is due to loose connection. Otherwise give a visit to Samsung care.

Camera driver needs to be taken care of by Samsung to make it perfectly usable for GTalk Video. Although I was excited when I completed my first call ;) other person was not ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It is pre-rooted, your's is a unique case at hand. You cannot just believe it to be false! :cool:

Check this and also try keeping your SIM and ext_SD out until you've rooted and rebooted.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jmunge89:
Is it really worth it flashing this firmware. I guess what am asking, is it stable enough. From this thread it seems that everyone has their own opinion and am really confused.

P.S ive gon thru the FAQ and am aware of the facts.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
If you've gone through the threads, you should be in a position to decide for yourself. If you haven't flashed yet, I'd suggest you wait it out for another week or so, the RC will be leaked soon.

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
+1 on @spacebar2011 - it is your choice.

for what is worth, my phone works fine XXKB3 - I have no compelling reason to flash, unlike many, I don't flash just because.. - Its fine for rex, spacebar, trip and few others that know exactly what they are getting themselves into and seem to enjoy challenge -- I don't have the time.. If the RC gives me ext3 and working skype video that will be a compelling reason.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jmunge89:
Thanks. Guess i'll wait for the RC
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jmunge89:
Thanks also. Am also using KB3 and am quite satisfied with it. Though the extra modding features that come with gingerbread are quite attractive. But i think i'll wait for the RC release hoping it will be more stable.

This is a word of caution for everyone else too. Don't take this for fun as it might compromise your private and sensitive data over Wi-Fi.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
But space, As far as ive seen, There was an upload of Skype, Tried it on KB3, And it worked perfectly, Backcamera call and audio worked D: I tested it first with Skype Test Girl :P and it worked, Camera showed the back one only. But then again you cant shift it to front. Want me to post a link/reupload it? Try it :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
As I said, I've tried the mods but not keeping any as I cannot live with the security issues. And yes, the front cam either does not send a video or flickers solid colours. Everything else - audio, rear cam, video from other side, works.

The test reports a fail as the SU request is not handled well and the device does not respond to a SU request sent by SOC. Just reboot and check if you see Superuser in your app drawer. Its normal.

It should not, but you could always try. I haven't tried the newer one, v1.9.1 works fine for me and majority of others.

I reflashed today, and since adb shell already drops me into the # prompt I decided to install superuser manually.

I did

$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb push su-v2 /sdcard
$ adb shell
# cat /sdcard/su-v2 > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

and all apps have been able to get root access! :)

Unlike SuperOneClickRoot, this didnt give me any KP, even though I pulled Superuser.apk and su-v2 from the SuperOneClickRoot download.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] danzig_08:
now can root..

the problem is because the file that i download have problem + antivirus pc

so i try to download superoneclick on other source and pause antivirus

it have kernel panic but after reboot got the superuser.....

:):)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
That's basically the same as the rooting process. Kernel Panic appears only when you test the root success through SOC.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
Hmm. I've never tried SOC without the test.

Another difference I've noticed it that I still land in the root prompt when I use adb shell, without having to run su command.

This might be because I havent installed busybox yet.
