Hindi font can be installed on any rom just by replacing fonts. Best would be if some one can make Indic font pack which can be updated via CWM

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

Not sure about this I know that this is suppose to be faster file system but I wonder if the phone can be made faster by this why has samsung not done it by default??

This may be the reason that my phone lags on Gb whereas stock rom xxkb3 it was perfectly fine last 6 months of using.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
No. No Problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
Updated directly from DDKF1 to the XWKPG through Kies. No issues faced and the update was smooth. But it took almost half an hour to complete the process. After updating performed a factory reset and started using it. Running very smoothly and i had observed charging is also a bit fast. Battery draining i did not observe much drain as other people are complaining. Yes i had disabled Backgound data, Auto sync, GPS and Wifi, Edge and using only 2G mode. Need to observe more on this. Will post my observations.

No significant changes in the UI, but one new application is added "Press Reader" (An application to read newspapers online. Trail version).

But i am able to see only one stock wall paper. When i tried to change the wallpaper, i found only one in stock Wallpaper gallery. Not sure if they had removed other wallpapers or this is a bug.

I did not like the status bar icons as they are too small. Like the Froyo icons.

Also there is no Wifi disconnection issue as i had read in other threads that people who upgraded to GB faced this. Maybe this is fixed.

This INDIA version is really surprising. I have not booted my phone since last 4 days and there is no lag! else in earlier versions, i had to reboot atleast every 2 days to avoid lags. This ROM seems the best stable and performer. To get most of every ROM, pls follow the steps:

Don't use Tweaks that come with CF-Root (they are not meant for every ROM by default)

Don't deodexed, you will find your phone more touch responsive, snappier and lag free (i have observed it every time)

Don't use themes etc. (your choice but you will loose few things like pull down notification bar scrolling etc..) atleast i don't prefer any theme over default stock.

Don't use any RAM/optimized scripts, no significant gain (i always have > 100 MB available even using multitasking most of the time with 5-10 apps opened)

Definitely use EXT4, big impact on IO performance (mostly in file managers, data transfer etc), also keep journaling OFF.

Don't upgrade Super User, you will disturb it's root some time and most likely your rooted apps will not work.

Use Mobo task killer, its safe out of many others i have tested, it will keep ur phone in slim fit shape.

Delete unnecessary pre-installed Samsung apps

And most out of it, use ICS Roboto font. Very crystal clear font.

BTW i am heavy user and always installed around 70-90 apps for all purposes.

Try using a Static IP. It may work. Just pick up an IP in the DHCP IP configuration range of your router and configure it in your phone. Do not forget to configure Gateway, subnet mask and DNS. See if this method works.

Please see my post above. See if that works for you too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
How is it that, the same phone works flawlessly for one and presents problems for others.

Take the case of

WIFI connection drop

.

I don't remember reading any post about this when our phone was on Froyo.

But the moment we went to Gingerbread, post after post after post has been posting problems about the WIFI disconnect. I see the same few people posting the WIFI issues in different posts.

And we all know that this phone has been brought by many in Europe and Asia.

After seeing the posts, I think there should be around 5 to 7 % users who are facing this issue. It can be that the others are not forthcoming it. Even then taking that into consideration say +- 2%, what about the other 90% I9003 owners.

I Never had an issue with any Rom, and i have tried most.

So where is the Problem?

Is is the Firmware?

Is it the Hardware?

It has to be Hardware related, as for the rest of users, it seems to be not an issue, to say the least.

I think we need to look at the WIFI issue with a new perspective.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
misledz was facing the same problem with both kpm and kpn.

but he somehow found that his wifi wasnt working only on belkin routers.

Could be possible ganesh but if you take my or some other users case, push messages dont work on 2g or 3g connection when device is in sleep mode. If we revert back to froyo, it works great. In this case i will not call it a hardware but a firmware issue.

Dont know what the exact issue is but want to find out :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
Has any one tried using this:

I read it in some other post, and not from my experience.

To resolve this WiFi issue, just disable DHCP in your router Settings and assign STATIC IP ADDRESS to your mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
@Jas

That is what I also want to say. It is not happening to all the I9003 phones.

All the problems like Wifi / Push mail sync and some other issues is with only with a few. the rest are not experiencing it or not coming forth with it.

This is really a ....... issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deadlyweber:
Tried everything before posting this post. But some told that its only on belkin routers and its working fine on other routers. will try dlink if that too wont work then will flash to some other rom.

Fitzelgard from the facebook group found out what the issue was ,has something to do with the router,maybe go check for wifi drops at your friends wifi,it seem to work without drop on wifi router with 802.11n but with 802.11g it seem to drop.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
Even i am facing the same problem... on froyo its fine... but on GB there is some serious sync problem...... hope we get a solution for this

It is the same for I900 and I9100. This is happening after GB update. So our phone is not alone.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DeepakG:
Anyone finding Lbstestmode (or AngryGPS) in your phone after the GB update? I'm trying the same froyo code (*#*#3214789650#*#*) as suggested by many but nothing happens. Any pointers?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
it has been removed in gb lol
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] skchattha:
Keep the things simple as it is. You will get the answer.

If on Froyo, its working fine same phone, same router, then its a firmware issue. Means the new firmware changes are not compatible with existing router. Try changing the router once.

The others are using Wifi router fortunately compatible with both firmwares that's why its working.

For e.g. Beetel 450BXi Airtel modem with Wifi should work with all firmware, i am sure.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] srain:
It might be possible because i also have belkin router. Anyway after flashing three-four times with the rom and without setting up anything flashing with CF-root somehow my problem is resolved dont know how but wifi issue is resolved in my case.

This firmware is great for me because it has devnagari font support with complex scripting which renders hindi and marathi correctly the manual method to add font was really not that effective because it had script rendering problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Does this display the Hindi matra (vowels) correctly.

try reading these hindi words, Hindi, petrol, kingfisher, breaking news, boys, etc etc it displays 70% words correctly but 30% with wrong matra not sure if this is font limitation or android limitation.

Try reading these site & post screenshots if possible of hindi webpages

http://aajtak.intoday.in/

http://in.jagran.yahoo.com/

Is there hindi keyboard included in this rom?

What else is included which is India specific & not available in other roms?

Guys anyone facing battery problems ?

I updated via kies and didn't do any factory reset.

I'm on roaming so practically not using the phone. It's been 10Hrs since full charge and used only 20 mins of wifi.

Battery now stands at 64%.

Any suggestions ?

P.S : no modifications,cf-root nothing applied. Plain stock
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] skchattha:
At least this ROM shows hindi font and words perfectly alright, see here
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DeepakG:
applied cf-root on my new GB i9003 :-)

Thanks Ganesh.

rebooted once but then i flashed again and no problems yet.

converted to ext4 too, but i cannot see much speed/performance improvements directly as such (although quadrant score is affected to quite a huge extent, for the disk writes)

anybody give me some clues on the CF Tweak Manager; what is good and what is not so.

Can anyone of you who has rooted device using this FW extract the fonts & attach here please so this can be incorporated into other roms.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
As stated in my previous post, battery drain is partially true. If i charge the battery to full and keep the phone idle(with all the unneeded services killed) and absolutely no usage and kept idle, the drain is minimal and battery is lasting for around more than 1 day but less than 2 days.

But if i start using the phone, say attend a few calls, play a game and the total usage is for around 45 mins or less and then again kill all the unneeded services, battery is draining very fast and not lasting for more than 8 hours. Even i checked many time if any services are running in the background but i could not find any unnecessary ones.

:confused: Clueless on what is eating the battery. I am not using any wifi, GPS and 3G and the using in GSM only mode. Sync is off and Background data is off.

This is on a very recently updated GB 2.3.5 through Kies and plain stock rom. Not rooted.

Can you explain how you had observed the difference? Is there any specific way of using the Mobo task killer to get more battery?

A detailed if explanation if possible will be helpful to all the members here experiencing high battery drain issues.

Enable its scheduler for every half an hour to kill the tasks. Exclude foreground application from killing.

Result - almost 2% battery drain in 6-8 hours in sleep mode and phone running absolutely fine, no FC, no application malfunctioning, no misbehavior. Memory free almost 190MB most of the time :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
When you check the battery usage " Display" seems to consume more than 40 % of Battery and hence when the screen is on, battery is sucked faster this can be a bug. In froyo the same was around 15 -2 0 %, In froyo again there was a bug where in the " Cell Standby" use to consume a lot of battery power, due to which when the phone is on a standby mode mode ( e.g.during night when the phone is hardly used) the battery used to drain faster ( i faced this problem and saw many users in forum face it). Cell standby problem is solved in GB, hope there is a solution or a workaround for the "Display " Problem
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deadlyweber:
Solved this issue somehow installed wifi static and wifi manager . And now wifi is stable and doesnt drops. Thanks to Ganesh for referring this app.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
Currently though I am not using any task killers, the battery performance is very disappointing. But one thing is if the phone is restarted the first day the battery backup is good with lasting more than 1 day and gradually as the phone is being used, the second and third day battery backup will get worst even if the usage is very minimal without any 3G or Wifi.

So if the phone is restarted the battery backup will be fine for one day and will be more than worst from the second day until the next restart.

As stated by other members, Display is consuming around 36 % :-(

This is my observation over a period of 2 weeks.

Another interesting finding:

To increase or decrease the brightness, touch the notification bar and as the tab to drag downwards appears, do not swipe down but instead swipe left or right. Brightness will decrease if swiped left and increases if swiped right.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature implemented but interesting.. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
This feature has been there from the day one this phone was shipped in Feb 2011 even in froyo, you just discovered it NOW ;) You don't even need to swipe.

Hold the notification bar (left most)for 4 sec brightness will be minimum

Hold the notification bar (center)for 4 sec brightness will be 50%

Hold the notification bar (right most)for 4 sec brightness will be 100%
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
@sgsl9003

Thanks.. as you said, just discovered it.. :-)

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Any workaround for the battery drain? :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Brightness to minimum

all autosync off

switch to airplane mode in the night (tasker can automate this)

wifi/bluetooth to be off when not needed (tasker can automate this)

3g drains battery more than 2g specially when on roaming so I use only 2g now.

I get 24-36hrs battery using xxkpm custom rom.

On heavy usage I drain battery within 6-8hours.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
Already using the same settings as you had suggested. After a fresh restart, the first day battery performs well and i get around 1 day battery backup. But from the second day, it starts draining very rapidly (even if i do not use anything). From the second day onwards, i hardly get around 8 to 9 hours of battery. :confused:

1) Only on 2G network. Not in roaming.

2) No Wifi, bluetooth,GPS, Auto sync

3) Display at the least minimum

4) No games or apps installed. Just running on the stock

Am i missing something here?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Did you do the battery calibration?

after fresh install you have to do a battery calibration always, there is an app for it in the market.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
I had upgraged the Firmware - GB 2.3.5 (stock ROM, not rooted) using Kies two weeks ago. If i want to calbirate the battery, can i do it now or should i factory reset and do it? What are the prerequisites?

Yes you can do it any time no need of factory reset, I do once a month.

How did Hyperion suck your battery? It us very good withbattery. You must have a bad app installed etc
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
There are no custom boot animations on Hyperion V2.1, and the base look is completely stock on the last version. The RCTweaks come pre-installed, which can mess with the look of Rosie and the status bar, but you can configure them to behave stock-ish.

Anyway, what do you mean by "less bugs"? To my knowledge, there are no bugs.

One thing, and this should be made a sticky (hear me Ben?):

If you unlocked your phone using HTCDev, you are still S-ON, and the kernel is not being written when you flash the rom. Any rom. So you have to manually flash boot.img from the rom you want using fastboot.

If you try a 3.5 rom and it doesn't even boot, this is the problem.
