[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mother abdulsamad:
me too the link is not working i tried all my browsers ???!!! any solution
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adeklipse:
I'm using fla.sh X2 on top of XXKPH, and so far, so good. Have yet meet an error; no SoD's (yet), everything working as it should be, etc, etc.

I've tried GingerReal and coderom, they're both excellent, but my preference is to fla.sh X2.

:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] vaibhav011286:
Can you provide link to download and procedure??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] fery6767:
Sangingerace 2 is best for me
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adeklipse:
Sorry, I've been on my phone for the last few days, so it'll be rather difficult for me.

But why not use the search feature? Just go to the Galaxy Ace Android Development subforum, and search there! :)

In fact, I don't think you'll need to search; the Fla.shX2 ROM is very popular, so it should be on the first page.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] fla.sh:
I would recommend you all to choose:

BLACKHAWK

It's minimalistic, and user friendly with less modification (so it should be stable). SGA newcomers should try Blackhawk ;)

Respect the other devs, my ROM isn't the best at all..

Making ROM isn't as easy as copy paste-ing :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adeklipse:
He's being modest; his ROM is great. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] silver2706:
I agreed with adeklipse..he's modest...but I am agree with fla.sh also...

ROM making is not just cut copy paste thing..

In my opinion all of the publised ROMs are different from each other..

It depends on pure personal perception, which ROM suites you more..

Like me..I always keep on changing ROMs ..

Now using Fla.sh x2, previously Blackhawk, Code ROM, Ginger Real etc..

and must say all were working fine..

So I suggest, just try few ROMs and see...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] shreyanshr:
I personally would refer FirstUA v1.2 ..... too good i loved it.... i havent tried a lot of ROMs but i personally liked this one a lot.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dipidabelyah:
my personal recomendation for SGA

01. Fla.sh X2 + Update

02. Ketut's Blackhawk

03. CodeROM v2.2b

these are the best in my experience.. sorry can't give you the link but you can easy found them on SGA development forum.. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
So this is interesting. There was a lot of confusion about T-Mobile U.S.' new phone the Hercules and whether or not it was an SGS2 variant. Well it is and it isn't. This link talks about a SGS2 version launching in Korea and Germany that uses the same Qualcomm SoC as the Sensation. That's an interesting choice because the Sensation does poorly on benchmarks. Other than being LTE equipped it's the same specs and looks the same at the T-Mobile U.S. Hercules. So apparently Samsung's being pretty liberal with what they define as a SGS2.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smartbot:
I'm not sure I would be interested in this. It's a larger screen (4.5" is too big) and it will probably get worse battery life with LTE. I think I'll wait for the Galaxy S III. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
The 8060 SoC sort of sucks in the Sensation. That would kill it for me before the 4.5" screen. It's actually using the same chip that's in the HP TouchPad. Interesting choice on Samsung's part. The radio is market specific so LTE won't be everywhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghost77:
It looks like Samsung is trying to cash in on galaxy s name and push as many phones as they can.

Probably short term business decision regardless of consequences to its name.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jlevy73:
Actually the Sensation chip sin't nearly as crappy as it was prior to getting s-off. Once developers were able to make kernel mods and other tweaks the chip performs much better than it did out of the box. I think some of the poor benchmark scores can be attributed to the qHD screen of the Sensation. However, I ran cf-bench last night with both my sgs2 and sensation clocked at 1.5ghz and the Sensation beat it each time. The gpu of the adreno 220 is surprisingly good. I would be interested to see the qualcomm chip properly implemented such that the hardware and software were coded in sync
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
If the same chip performs significantly faster in Samsung's implementation the Sensation folks are going to be pissed. I'd also imagine Samsung will do a much better job with video drivers so it'll support tons more formats than the Sensation. With all the rumors about Tegra being the alternate due to Exynos shortages it's interesting they went with Qualcomm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sp1tfire:
I'd like my SII to have a 4.5" screen and the back cover of this phone. That's all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockky:
I'm not real smart on this aspect of this technology (chips and perfrormance), but I really have doubt that the benchmarks accurately reflect real world performance.

I have an SGS2 and say take my Evo 3D, turn on hotspot, run my SGS2 off the Evo, and do a Speedtest app test on each; the Evo measures 7-9M's, the SGS2 runs 3ish.

I immediately run a series of graphic heavy site's simultaneously and the SG will finish quicker every time.

I'll run a comparison of Thunderbird on the almighty Verizon LTE.

The Speedtests are Th:19-21 lol, SGS (Hotspot... ting to Wimax) measuring 3ish, and and AGAIN,when it comes to site downloads SGS2 is just faster (more marginally).

That said, the Sensation was a disappointment. Makes sense to me that it wasn't all the chips fault.

But...all that said,gut tells me, those enjoying the SGS2 like I have are gonna be up for a let down in performance with Herc.

Hope I'm wrong. Been anticipating it myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
You're basically comparing LTE (VZW), Wi-Max (Sprint), and HSPA+ (AT&T) which has nothing to do with the phone's processor. Play HD videos on the Sensation/E3D (Qualcomm) and SGS2 (Exynos) and you'll be quite surprised at the difference in real world performance. jlevy73 brings up an interesting point in that devs seem to be getting better perfromance out of the Sensation now that it's unlocked than HTC was able to. But devs are still dependent on the drivers provided by the OEMs so the Qualcomm chip on HTC phones might still end up having a real world performance deficit no matter how much dev support it gets.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockky:
OK...but still don't totally understand. Processors aren't a factor in how fast data is transmitted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
The incoming data isn't coming in fast enough to tax the processor. Testing something locally on the phone like video, flash-based web pages, and running multiple apps are a better test of a processors performance. Software and drivers make a big difference too. The browser on the SGS2 is hardware optimized where the Sensation/E3D's are not and it shows in everyday use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockky:
Thanks. Good to know that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockky:
Suffice to say then that the US devices will suffer some in the performance debt if the Qualcomms are employed vs

Vs the Exynos??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nraudigy2:
lol 3G/4G is like your internet connection on PC has nothing to do with how powerful the CPU is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jlevy73:
That's true, but how fast a page renders, especially one heavy in javascript and flash does provide an insight into the cpu/gpu. I have the crapbolt, I mean Thunderbolt and LTE absolutely flies (i.e. 30mb/down). With my SGS2 on AT&T's network I get about 5mb/down. If I load up androidcentral.com (which is very heavy on graphics, flash, etc) the SGS2 renders the page 2-3X faster than my Thunderbolt. You can see the rat in the cage processor of the Thunderbolt choking to render all those graphics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Maedhros:
Unfortunately....

qhd dosent have much to do with it.

the gpu on the SD gets OC'd as the cpu is oc.

the Ex is a more robust processor + Mali is a more powerful GPU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FishTaco:
The sensations qhd screen has 35% more pixels than the samsung s ii. It has a significant impact on processor work load and benchmarks. At 1.2GHz the Exynos 4210 is much better than the Qualcomm 8060, but at 1.5Ghz the Qualcomm will outperform an Exynos at 1.2Ghz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jlevy73:
Sadly, it doesn't. Maybe if you removed vcore it would but I have both devices and even clocked to 1.7, the Sensation cannot match the SGS2 in any benchmark I tried except cf-bench.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danielsf:
But if that is the case, then there isn't much excuse for the fact almost every Tegra 2 device with qhd displays out there, 1ghz, has beaten the Qualcomm chip in the sensation on every review I have watched. The Tegra devices use qhd's and yet are clocked lower the the sensations, yet out performs it significantly. Further more, about the pixels, the sensation only displays most quadrants on the 480*800 pixels anyway, because for some reason quite applications aren't scaled propyl for example in quadrant benchmark. Also, because most bechmarks count frames on 2d/3d graphics to help sus speed, I often find my galaxy s2 always hovers around 60fps. Thats because it has been limited to that by Samsung, so the true bechmark speed of that galaxy s2 is higher than what is show on stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KingKuba13:
Yes qhd makes a difference. Look at PC's as an example.

Have you seen what a SGS2 does with Tegra 2? You'll be surprised.

Sensation is not even A9 cortex based, can't compete with the rest of dual-cores.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KevinMArchibald:
I'm mainly interested in the SGS2 browser performance, which appears to do a better job handling Flash content (playing, resizing) than the Sensation in part due to the Exynos-based browser hardware acceleration. Is it possible that Samsung could turn on browser hardware acceleration in the Hercules's Qualcomm SoC and improve on the Sensation's browser performance? The better Flash handling (at least the resizing) could be in Samsung's browser code, too, so we'd get that in the Hercules, correct?

The Hercules screen would be better than the Sensation's, so that's a plus.

And maybe the HSPA+ 42 performance and battery life would be a better compromise than the supposedly better performing, but more power hungry LTE radio that will likely be in the Verizon SGS2 (whatever it will be called).

Hopefully Samsung can avoid the Sensation's landscape death grip issue since the packaging will be different. The death grip issue is avoidable, since the Slide doesn't seem to have it.

If all these things are true, the Hercules would at least be a more attractive phone than the Sensation, if someone wanted to stay with T-Mobile and could wait until the end of September. But let's say an Exynos-based Verizon SGS2 LTE phone comes out at the end of August. Not so sure I'd wait for the Hercules (with my criteria met), unless the LTE battery life was horrible or somehow gimped compared to the European SGS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
It'll be interesting to see what Samsung does with the Qualcomm chip software wise. If through better drivers and tuning they get a 25% performance gain over the same chip on an HTC phone than HTC's going to look pretty feeble. If you have to stay with T-Mobile, based on their current roadmap, the Hercules will be the best choice. The s/w on the euro-SGS2 is rock solid which is more than can be said for the Sensation and LG is just a train wreck.

I was just reading something about AT&T's marketing of their LTE network in comparison to VZW. On VZW, if you're not on LTE, the fallback is EVDO. AT&T's going to promote their fallback (HSPA+) as being twice as fast. True and an interesting selling point. Part of the reason LTE sucks so much power on VZW is their phones literaly have two radios running at the same time. Imbedded CDMA and GSM-chipped LTE. I'd imagine since AT&T's phones will use a single radio because their network is GSM to start with they'll do better battery wise than VZW's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kotaro_14:
Sensation does poor on benchmarks b/c of Sense... And the new Processor is going to be a 1.5 GHZ Qualcomm Krait... Why would they put an old processor when the Qualcomm's roadmap specifically showed that the Krait would be released during this time of year. SMH......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
They're using the APQ8060. It's the same as the one in the Sensation, E3D, and HP TouchPad. The APQ designator (vs. MSM) means there's no on-chip GPS. So Samsung must be using their own. It's clocked natively at 1.5ghz and has been underclocked to 1.2ghz in previous devices.

http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/showcase#snapdragon-s3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] euphoria47:
Why are we comparing different chipsets with the same (or even different) clock speed? This is total nonsense given that a clock speed is a measurement in cycles per second; a measurement of work done in a given amount of time. Since the work unit is variable between chips, to say one is faster because it is clocked faster is like saying a sportscar can carry more load than a truck because it is faster.

This goes back to the old "My phone has a higher cpu speed than my x-year old computer so its moar-faster"... I thought this was a better realized fact!

Either way, real testing will determine which is a faster machine, if I might observe, Qualcomm hasn't always had the best driver-dealings for their chipsets with manufacturers, if anybody remembers the HTC MSM720X based phones and crappy drivers. Not to say this will be the case here, but it can be assumed that a chipset manufactured in-house (Exynos) will have the very best possible driver support, therefore maximizing potential.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockky:
Uugh! Yeah stuff I'm afraid of!

Hopefully the Qualcomm chip is hardware optimized right?. ..in a way that the Sensation isn't?

My hope also is that they know the SGS2 is market-hyped to the gills here (unlike anything since the original iphone) and that many are acutely aware of the European SGS device, it's build and performance....point being that it'd be illogical to release the 'same' phone here with substandard real world performance.

But to the poster above, browser performance is absolutely a joy on this thing. (course I use boat browser cause Samsung won't use gingerbread browser...and modifies it in a few ways I dislike...like for example...on the world's greatest screen they dumbdown the displays to mobile only options! It's insane to me. Must third party app. (Boats amazing btw.)..... AND no the useragent:debug option is a pain in the ass workaround).

But I digress....numerous times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i'm confident the Hercules is going to be another flag ship product like the SGS2, since it carries the same name, it just caters to the 1700 band instead of the regular 850 / 1900 bands
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsjusttim:
I just hope it has a HD screen. Otherwise there was no reason for them to wait so long for us release date.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the Hercules is coming with the same screen as the SGS2, SAMOLED+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ABC_Universal:
That will be a serious cpu/gpu downgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] euphoria47:
^ We will see. Maybe Samsung has some optimization tricks up their sleeve, to make the chipset more efficient with the OS. Either way, on paper the I9100 is more powerful than the Hercules. Whether day to day use for most people will differ, that's a different question. Can't wait to see though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
Assuming it does have the same chip as the Sensation, here's three reasons it'll perform better...

Samsung file system = EXT4, HTC file system = RFS

Hercules RAM = 1GB, Sensation = 768MB

Hercules storage = NANDFlash, Sensation = microSD

Between those three things and Samsung's better coded and optimized firmware, I'd expect significantly better performance from the SoC. I don't think they'd put the SGS2 name on it otherwise.

SGH-T989

it's no longer a rumor it has been confirmed to be a dual core Qualcomm 1.5 Ghz

but the advantage of the new SGH-T989 are made with metal back doors

and they are true QUAD bands 850/1900 1700/2100

so you can have 4G, 3G, and Voice/EDGE(2G) on any network you want to sign up to as long as it's GSM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BarryH_GEG:
The fourth band (AWS) is useless to 95% of users and even more so if the merger goes through. Great news about the back cover.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
SGH-T989 AWS

from AT&T/Rogers/Bell/Telus perspective is not important to have AWS

but for T-mobile USA/MobilityCity/Cinncinati Bell/Windmobile/Videotron, and all other networks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWS) that runs solely on AWS, it's the only band they can run on without getting dinged with roaming fees

I am running 2.2.2 Froyo with 1.77 build.

I unlocked and rooted via Gingerbreak.

I went into CWM Recovery, erased all cache and flashed Alien Rom v3 and immediately flashed the Alien theme over it (I think that is where I made my booboo). The Rom appeared to load perfectly yet when the phone restarted the Moto logo animation appeared to run then the screen would go dark. This process repeats every few seconds non stop.

I can get into Android Recovery, RSD, everything. I tried flashing the 1.8.3 sbf through RS Lite 5.3.1 and while it said "PASS" it still hangs at the Moto animation.

I have no idea what to do. I think I can get out of it as I have done A LOT of searching through the forums and google but I am terrible with CMD.

I ran into the same issue the first time I tried to flash Alien. Since you're flashing Alien, I assume your bootloader is unlocked (As it's required for Alien).

If you have an unlocked bootloader, do this:

5 satellites is not enough if they're too close to each other (as seen from the phone), so it might simply be an issue with bad coverage where you were. Please note that satellites are moving so it doesn't mean anything that it worked at another occasion.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
I figured this is the correct forum since it's related to the overclockable kernels?

Well anyway here's my experiences overclocking the U8800 (with geno's cm7 and oxygen I get similar results)

smartass governor 245MHz-1516Mhz

-----------------------------------------

About 2400 on Quadrant standard after a few runs. Stable (I don't remember any reboots atleast :)

ondemand governor 245Mhz-1516Mhz

------------------------------------------

About 3000 on Quadrant standard after a few runs sometimes, sometimes it won't get higher than 2800. Some freezes / reboots.

interactive governor

-----------------------

The strange thing is that the phone freezes if set the max. clock >1100Mhz with this governor. The phone runs fine for atleast ~5mins (haven't tested it for longer periods) even with the performance governor and max. clock 1516Mhz. (max. clock all the time). Anyway with interactive 245-1100 I get about 2400 in Quadrant if I remember correctly.

Anyone else been testing different OC settings? The strange thing with smartass is that you don't seem to get max. performance with it (3000 quadrant with ondemand vs. 2400 quadrant with smartass). I know there's a lot of stuff happening in the background which causes different results, but the difference is big. Could it be that smartass is is not giving max. performance because the temp is rising too fast or something? But on the other hand the score never is higher than 2400 even if the battery temp is 20C or something.

Also the interactive governor freezing if max. clock is above 1100Mhz is strange.

Oh yeah and the highest battery temp I've had is 41C, after which the phone froze (ondemand 245-1516).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Very odd !

Well I can say my highest temp I reached was ondemand 245-1516 is 39 degree celsius feels nice to hold it great heat warmer at winter !
