The weird thing about this is; the press release for this upgrade mentioned the ability to choose the S Go Launcher. When I couldn't find the latter I went to Samsung Apps and discovered it was there; downloaded it, set it up as my TW launcher and haven't looked back since. I like being able to rename and resize icons with the Go. The only thing I miss a little is the list view in the app drawer but the ability to sort apps alphabetically goes some way to compensate for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Finguz:
I can't see an " S GO Launcher " on Samsung apps, but there is a Go launcher EX, do you mean that one?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Yes, that's the weird thing. I've not been able to find an S Go Launcher anywhere...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Finguz:
Thanks, it does seem a little odd, but then we are talking about Samsung :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:
I really doubt there are 364 mb RAM.

Go Launcher Ex is definitely the way forward, I can't believe I've been using the slow and cumbersome Touchwiz for so long. It's strange how the software from a multibillion pound company can be worse than some independent team/person!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Indeed. I wonder if Samsung's mention of it in the press release is a tacit admission of that?

JW4 with TW4 is a bad combination

My SGS experience with JW4 was not so good (freeze, black screen, restart) until, after reading here that the problem could be TW4, I installed GO Launcher EX. Now is like another phone. Thank you all.

Why can't samsung build a fully functional rom? Each release of theirs is just nonsens that shows their inability to produce something usable. The only thing that is better than in ics builds is the camera app

Go Launcher is the way to, er go...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OlivierTheBest:
The worst firmware for me :

Almost every day there is a problem from this list:

- Freeze during more than 10 secondes, then after it is needed to reboot or it starts to become slower and slower.

- Sometimes impossible to go back to main launcher (which is the Samsung one)

- Push on application doesn't show appplication list ...

- Black screen (of Death ...)

I was very please with previous fimwares and this one starts to make me very nervous and be afraid that it will happen again and again !

Please note that update was done with KIES and no KERNEL change have been applied.

I'm considering two options : Reset factory and hope it will solve this mess or Roll back to a previous firmware (with Odin this time as KIES doesn't allow to do that ...).

In both cases I will have to reinstall all applications (as phone is not rooted, I don't think there is a way to backup applications)

By the way the changes are excellent (when they work) .

Olivier
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lcampori:
Check your apps. Apart from lockscreen text bugs, this rom works as well as any 2.3.6 release.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OlivierTheBest:
Here are apps that are used mainly :

Quick settings

Aldiko + an Aldiko ebook widget

APN OnOff widget

Noled widget

Beautifull Widgets (weather widget + silence mode button) (from GetJar), I have already removed Beautifull live weather animated screen as it was a candidate of troubles ..

Google Music (from XDA)

Pulse (this one is probably the one that make use the more memory)

Battery Status (battery icone displayed on the notification bar)

Smooth Calendar widget

tm World Clock widget

Except when explained application used come from google play market or samsung market.

I agree that Pulse is probably consumming a lot of memory but problems happened also without pulse use.

Ram use amount is always below 300 Mb

Any idea will be received with a lot of interest.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MoshuXXL:
Use Go Launcher Ex instead of TouchWiz 4

What you are experiencing is caused by TouchWiz 4 Launcher bad implementation by Samsung in this software release. Use Go Launcher Ex (it's free on Google Play) instead of TouchWiz 4 and all your problems will be gone.

Not here.

I'm using tw4 and it's running flawlessly. I had some bugs (namely, FCs when I tried to open received gmails) with sgs2 email apk and widget, but these are ports, not apks designed to work with sgs framework from the start. Reverted to stock via nandroid and everything was running ok again.

Yes, I always save a nandroid backup before adding something non stock.

Really, I have NO problems at all. They must be somewhere else.

Battery is ok, signal is ok, no FCs, no SODs.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] OlivierTheBest:
Except an application that could create some troubles (like pulse for example or Beautifull Widgets or Quick settings or Battery status) I have nothing specific (no root, update done with kies).

Google music comes from XDA (which is I hope a reliable source !) other applications used come from SAMSUNG Market, Google Play Market and Getjar (Beautifull Widget only).

By the way, today was a good day (no problem encountered !).

Uninstall Battery Status and surprise. Many this kind of hardware polling softwares are battery hungry and make lag.

hi !

I have flashed jw4 four times cause I always come back to it. Its the best from Samsung so far. Some ICS is very good but end of the day all have their issues.

From Odin download xxjvu 2.3.6 ( or any other firmware ) and then after it's done wait for 10 minutes and go into Download mode again and open Odin and click on PDA and install XXJW4 and if u want to Root then use PDA again.

hope this helps. Take care.

What's bad:

touch responsivity is rly bad and because of that handling is very sluggish...so no comparison to ICS

not really more RAM because phone consumes more RAM from the start--> JVU 190-200 and JW4 220-230

still no google talk video

wifi is worse than it was on JVU or ICS-->weak signal!

still no chance to order ur apps alphabetical in app drawer

Hope that root will come out soon so we can change touch values...

but is this the aim? to change a new rom as soon as it is out to get it working properly?

it's annoying that there's never a rom that works out of the box!

Roaming Sign

Hi! I'm new to all this this but i have managed to update my phone to XXJVU and then to XXJW4. My problem is that i have the little "R" sign above my signal bar allways. I got my 3G working when Data Roaming is enabled and i put the APN settings manually. I have an operator (Saunalahti in Finland) that is a virtual operator and loans a network from another operator( Elisa). I have read and heard that this is somewhat expected problem but I would like to have it removed. I haven't rooted my phone(yet) only updated via Odin.

My question is: Is it possible to have it removed somehow and get 3G working? Without rooting or only by rooting?

I got some advice from another thread "[SOLUTION] Virtual operator & Roaming sign", but i understand those operations are only possible when the phone is rooted and if those are the only ways I would need a little bit more spesific instructions, please.

One more question. Propably not for this thread neither :) but IS GB 2.3.3-2.3.6 better then old Froyo 2.2.1? I'm looking for stability,speed and good battery life and don't want to use a custom ROM. Just stocks and maybe root the phone. Been trying to find this out but always find bad or mixed opinions about this.

Thanks for any advice!
