hey guys i am trying to keep up with these roms but its kinda of hard cause i think there all dead i might be wrong but dont know whats going on ive been on olympus for a while now and even tho its a good rom the issues it has of rebooting and messing up with data corruption and having to erase data and start fresh again its not worth it so if anyone still alive in here can you direct me to a stable rom for everyday use....like is ec05 version of era real good? or if anyone know of anything thats real stable...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
This forum is far from dead lol. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 is a great choice and a good alternative is urban regen 1.1.1 as well as simply aosp 4. Try to stay away from gingerbread til it officiallly drops if stability is your #1 concern.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Use revolt rom, syndicaterom 1.2, or urban regeneration.

Yeah, thousands of posts a day sounds like there is life to me. As for the reboots and data corruption. Get journaling On! And look at our thread in General about possible fix for random reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
Samsung Italy announced that the Samsung update for Galaxy S i9003 Gingerbread to Android will be delayed. The motivation is clear: To avoid delays in updating to version 2.3.5, we have chosen to update the terminal S Galaxy Super Clear LCD (I9003) directly to the latter version of firmware. So still waiting to see the final distribution on this Android smartphone although the consolation would be to have the version 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.4.

It depend on what do you need from your fone:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Somebody just crazy about numbers !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
2.3.5 has hardly anything new with it(probaly samy gives more sources?)

but 4.0 is really something diff
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Who cares! I think, like we port themes and ROMs we can try to port the 4.0 from SGS or SGSII,rrahigt?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yes,or may build one from stock android.....but it isnt as easy as porting themes!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
It is that easy...It is not easy as porting rom or themes..If it is that easy then why that time when our device only support Froyo,why no devs port gingerbread to our device before official release?

In CM7 also we found difficulties to port it and fix the bugs...it is not easy and need many efforts and experience devs to work on it.Sad to say that our communities also lack of experience devs like skin and amit..:(

*Just my opinion..:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
We can try it! I think it is useless. Before dropping into conclusion, I think, we must have atleast some hopes. Galaxy ace,Fit and 5 are gonna get the update, so why not SL? We will obviously get it. If we don't the Asia-pacific team of users in gonna get on the nerve of Sammy! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bajju123:
y android 4.0 or even if there is any android 5.0 if we have all the features available in 2.3.4 :)

Darn samsung..why not u give announcement that our phone will get ICS in half year 2012! sure we can wait bcoz it more worth ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fuss132:
Nobody knows if there is an update for I9003 or not. These are all speculations.. Even Samfirmware.com don´t know it exactly!

BTW, what do you expect from Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Ice Cream Sandwich?

In 2.3.5 there are only Bugfixes and closed security gaps. ICS is only fusion of Tablet-Android and Smartphone-Android.

Really new features will only come with Jelly Bean (that´s android version after ICS) and I´m sure neither the Galaxy S or the Galaxy SLC will gain an update to this version
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tamaleddon:
The 2.3.5 update is important because it fixes at least a security vulnerability in the browser, which may affect you even if you don't use the stock one.

Before Buying this phone i made a study on internet abt updates frequency of diff. brands. i saw somewhere that HTC is No.1 in delievering Updates on their phone and after that LG and then Samsung And SOny is Worst In Providing update. Bt now it Seems SAmsung is Worst to provide updates Atleast for i9003.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
ll devices are getting 2.3.5 update so we are on due to get this and its good that we ll get it by next month :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ryouza:
Htc may be the first,but community is the true force,because official update are slow as sammy... Lg is good,but update frequency depends on model... Lg dual is a mess, and still no ginger,or bugfix update,even is out month announce. Samsung came out with new models with updated software,and old will follow... The lesson is if you want updated firmware ever and ever, buy google experience phones, nexus one, s, and prime when it will came out.there are the only truly supported by google.

Guess...if Samsung releases 2.3.5 in November, then it will take an yr to get Icecream 4.0 for our phone...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Or maybe never! I made myself a promise after owning the SGSL. I will only buy Nexus phones here onwards. No matter even if they're slightly lower on specs than the latest greatest phone on the market, I care more about stock functionality and timely updates.

Also, the community support and development is way higher for Nexus phones than ANY other phone. So, Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime, here I come..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
Or we put all us energy in cm7 and get so for a year of 2 updates :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
You said exactly my feelings bro. But still I m happy that at least we are getting maximum best GB releases by samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
What about galaxy s3?

Tapashocked :) via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice ! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:
Am happy with this GB too, But One day or other, everyone gonna regret for buying this phone, receiving poor updates from the manufacturer...Samsung cares only top devices
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
Yup. I heard that Samsung were a bit slow with updates, but i should've read into it a bit more, heh. :/
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I don't care about a Galaxy S3 or S300 any more. I'm eternally pissed off with every single manufacturer for sitting on their lazy asses trying to make ugly skins on top of stock Android when they should be working on pushing updates first. Gingerbread was released almost a year ago and this phone got 2.3.4 when 2.3.7 is being pushed out. That's just stupid!

Add to that, most video call apps do not work. Not even GTalk with video. Skype video receives but does not send video and/or crashes the phone. Google+ hangouts do not work. I don't know what the f*** that front camera is good for then - only 3G video calls? Yeah, I make like one in a month!

And never mind the zero knowledge of customer care when it comes to software/firmware. And this is true for all three - Samsung, LG and HTC. Never tried a Moto Android and never probably will, I hate those fugly phones.

One of the reasons I've not been on XDA for a while is that I was sort of frustrated about all of the above and a few times just wanted to throw the phone off a bridge and get a WP Mango device. At least they get updates on time, are not tinkered by manufacturers with stupid skins and don't have obvious issues. The only thing keeping me from leaving is the love for Android, the brilliant development around it and the upcoming Nexus.

I got rid of my Galaxy S2 some two weeks ago. The day the Nexus Prime arrives, it'll be bye bye Galaxy SL. Good riddance!

I'll never buy ANY Android other than the Nexus till I'm on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zhiavril:
I think it lie for us
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Ok guys. Just think in this way. If you are businessman & you want to earn more & more profit then obviously you will produce more & more new mobile with new features. For customer satisfaction u will give new update also. But if you want to sell mobile of price of 30k & if you are giving same feature in the form of update to ur old mobile to customer then who will willing to buy your new phone. Definitely u will face loss. If same stratagy is applied by samsung or any other company then whats wrong in that...! We should not forget that at start we were using froyo 2.2 but after 4-5 experimental gb release we got xxkph stable gb 2.3.4 firmware. Really we should appreciate this. Its a business guys. If u will get ice cream update then will u buy brand new s3 phone...? Definitely No. And plz dont compare with sony ericcson. Now they announced 4.0 update only because they want to improve image as they are famous for late update.

Overall i will say that how much u spend money that much u will get services, updates & benefits from company. But if we are expecting services of s2 for our SL mobile in low price then its our mistake guys.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neil05:
for me we are really blessd that we got gb update..tnxs 4 our devs they do everthng 2 help us..i salute them..but i thnk samsung really sucks!spacebar is right!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:
well said, but still samsung cares more about galaxy ace which is less priced than our mobile

If poor Sony Ericsson could get ICS 4.0, i bet Samsung will give update for us too
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
@vishal

If they want to continue selling the Galaxy SL, it's in their own interest to update it to Ice Cream Sandwich. It's still a new device in comparison to others in the market - a good price, good specs and good looks. It can still sell well if they update it...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] android_and_me:
I absolutely fully agree with everyone who said this is the last manufacturer phone, and from now on its Nexus or nothing, but i also wanted to share why i bought this phone and its most probably why all of us bought it too.

480x800 Resolution (The Ace is 320x480, terrible ppi (165) compared to ours (233))

Excellent AVI playback at original size (Ace have some jerky playback)

Plenty of phone space for apps (Another thing that Ace doesn't have)

Excellent web experience (Ace doesn't have flash support)

Above average gaming experience (Ace can't handle high density graphics, or even display them in the first place)

haven't seen any incompatible apps so far...

thats what i want out of the phone, and i can compromise updates for performance and quality (so please stop talking about ACE)

when we become extremely busy with our lives, the phone is not about its android version, but what we really need to do right now and will this phone support it.

I was actually quite aware of the updates issue even before i bought the device, but I knew doesn't matter what this phone is running, it will still fulfill all of my working needs on the go.

just enjoy the phone's features and buy the next jelly beans Nexus when its out :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neil05:
galaxy ace have cyanogenMod our phone doesnt..its very fraustrating for us..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I still dont understand why people are comparing our class high specification phone with low specification galaxy ace phone...? People dont have patience. They just want updates, updates, updates & more updates. But like one of member said instead of looking update we should concentrate on stability & performance of existing os. We dont look for what we have...we just cry for what we dont have. If you go in ace forum u will see lots of people complaining about its performance.

Ok Suppose we get ICS in future but totally unstable then whats the use of that...instead of that i will prefer super stable CM7.1 with almost bug free os. People dont go for fancy thing. Plz concentrate on stability guys.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] netchip:
I dont get it.

WHY you will A SAMSUNG UPDATE?

It is much better if we get cyanogenmod fully working.

We can then get the update after ICS, we have full AOSP and we can add touchwiz 4.

That is my opinion

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fxzy:
Don't use ace as comparison. Actually many phones with similar release date and specification like LG optimus black or HTC salsa or even dual-core MOTO atrix! They have less custom ROM than us, they even got less developer than us, they even got no gingerbread update!! What can they do is just shouting and crying? They just ask official update? No! They port every thing themselves! Their road are actually much harder than us. But as an I9003 user, I don't really care what official update will be. I only want every one stop asking and start working together!

Don't give problem! Give me solution!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
@Vishal - That's entirely wrong. That is not how a business works. I think you need to learn the AOSP policies. Every manufacturer HAS to update their devices to the latest firmware (Android version) as long as the device specs support it.

Imagine this - you bought a Windows or a Mac. MS or Apple continuously update the OS all the time. What if they only updated machines bought in the last 6 months and left out the older ones? Software updates have nothing to do with device sales. Anyone who wants better hardware will buy a new device. People do not buy a new device only to get a newer version of the software.

Software updates are the confirmation of a company's customer care and their commitment to customers. If you had to buy a new phone every year to get the latest software (knowing that your older phone can support the new software), how much faith will you have in the company after that?

It's just that the manufacturers are lazy. They update the newer and the highest selling devices first and take their own sweet time for all the other models. That is one reason why I'm against overly modifying stock Android. They have to do all that skinning and all those stupid modifications every time there's an update, which takes more time and effort. If they kept it close to stock, it'd take much less time to push out an update. These manufacturers do not want to spend a lot on software testing or maintenance.

Everyone would be happy if they put out lesser number of devices but stayed committed to those devices.

They'd have higher customer satisfaction and higher sales as a result.

Remember, quality is always greater than quantity. If you hit top quality, sales will automatically rise. Worst thing is to come up with a new model every 5 weeks and then shun the older ones.

Now of course, people who do not care about software updates are not the people who I'm talking about here. But even those people will smile if they saw that the software has been updated and their device is a little better now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
totally right and true.now something that is not related to your post.i see netchip comparing cm7 with an official new firmware(not only him),they cant be compared,and its not even important witch one is better,its our right to have official support from Samsung,its not about their time and that they are lazy,they are forcing us to trow our 'old' and 'bad' device to spend 500$ on new high end device.Like hardware differences aren't enough.Because really if i am buying new phone hardware is most important(talking about android devices only),if i have money i would never chose 's' over 's2' even if they both get ics,and i am sure no1 will.)i wont make same mistake twice,next time getting nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
@ spacebar

Ya i understand ur point. You are talking about improving quality of product than its quantity. Upto certain extent its right. If u compare it with mac or windows update then its very difficult to compare. Bcoz they release os as per hardware compability & not depend on specific model of any laptop company. Their update are common to all laptops & computer. But in case of android phones its completely different.

Lets take our example. Our SL looks very similar to S model. But if u look deep into it u will come to know basic difference in hardware. Thats why our phone become dead when we flash firmware of S (even though its android).

U are saying that company should build os depend on stock AOSP without modifying it so to update to a new version company will take less time. But like this company will suffer loss. Bcoz every company has speciality like we have twlauncher & htc have their very famous sense. Now imagine if htc & samsung updating their phone only depending on AOSP stock look then what will be the difference between them...nothing. Definitely people will not attract any of the company. But when company add their spicy look by taking some time then definitely it will attract people's attention.

The main problem with is that whatever its biggest disadvantage is, that is its biggest advantage also. U will 3g, 5 mp cam, wifi & android os in a phone in only 10-12 k rs. But when u want more features such as ram, processos then obviously its price will get increase & due to hardware difference company will take some time also to release its updates.

Its very natural & right kind of attitude of any industry that if a customer is paying more money then obviously he should get more benefits. But if low price product customer demanding same service then why would company waste his time & money on services for such custome. Company will give only that much what that customer is deserving.

Its totally different about Google's brand phone. They choose a phone in such a way that it should top class in all aspects for giving updates. But its price also is very high. Normal indian man cant affort such a phone. Instead of that he will choose laptop. Thats why google never release their nexus phone in india.

I know on some points u will not agree. But i am telling u this from my own personal experience which i got in 1 yr marketing job. Company has to balance between their own benefits & customer satisfaction.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rarap:
and thats the different between uk and india.in india,customer is king,but king dont bargain.in uk customer is king,they get what they demanded.

ok its off topic.samsung should really update their os for our device.abandoning updates for our phone is surely not proper for the customers.if they value us as a samsung user,then ice cream sandwich should be ours also.they had made so many models variations,they should now what responsibility they should take due to this.if not,ill never suggest a samsung phone to my friends or family later in future.i really should end up buying optimus 2x last time..

and i think we should stop arguing this for now.we all argued about rumors.we should began to fight later when this news is confirmed....

The same quest has been kindled in my heart....

All mobile phone manufacturimg companies are dumb !

And nexus series is the true answer to all the these update related issues!

Even I am also planning to wait for the upcoming nexus prime and the much hyped over ice cream sandwich.... Let us see what does sammy give in the hardware department and what does google deliver with the latest OS :)

Atleast all the updates will be on time and I am sure that the development for this phone also shall happen at a fast pace!
