[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
I am liking the CM9 Alpha 3, it has a few minor problems but no show stoppers from what I've seen. I have tried most of the popular ROMs and this one is the best in my opinion (at least in terms of interface and lack of bloat)

Note: Possible 4G issue with this ROM. I am in area with HSPA+/4G (not LTE) through Rogers but I can't seem to get anything but 3G with this rom (works fine with other roms). Would love to submit this bug or post it in the cyanogen thread but I need 10 posts first...

I liked the GB version of Sky ICS (the speed-stripped version), but the ICS version (4.2E?) has way too much bloat for my taste, 3 different launchers, and a tonne of apps I will never use. I have read in more recent updates that some of the bloat may have been removed but I haven't tried it yet. I was able to get it cleaned up by removing a bunch of stuff via Titanium Backup, but I still like the interface (especially the lock screen) in CM9 a lot better. CM9 also seems to have better battery life, but could related to all the bloat in Sky ICS.

SKY ICS does seem more polished, but CM9 is still Alpha so I am sure it will get better.

I just switched back to Skyics since the 4.0.4 leak and I have to say, with touchwiz 4 and some of the GS3 stuff going on this feels like a brand new phone. 6606 antutu score with no tweaks. My phone is the envy of all my nerdy tech friends at work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iinfam0uzxflip:
well sky ics rc7 speed stripped is GREAT ! Its not the NEWEST . But in my opinion , i think its the best for a daily driver . Great battery life and it runs smooth and fast ! And according to the Antutu benchmarker results , i score around a 7200 . which is the next best thing behind the SGIII and the ASUS Transformer Prime . Rarely FC's and restarts . Thats a very BIG factor for me .

He removed the bloat to make room for bloat (s voice)... why no one seems to get that its JUST vlingo... unmodified, useless, rebranded bloatware.. oh and added the updated accuweather.

I love his work on skins, but prefer a lean light rom. I even debloat cm roms.

This ROM is a Galaxy Note clone for DS5 with Samsung TW.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Loco007:
No Landscape

Yeah, just installed it and i can confirm its a clone of the Samsung Galaxy note TW, with Galaxy S2 boot-animation.

I nandroided back as i cant live without landscape mode, it seems to be locked to portrait.

Seemed to work pretty fast, didn't have a notification bar up the top but was definitely smooth.

The only problem i could find was when you selected CM7 settings it FC.

Also it installs at 240 dpi.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nom051205:
Looks like cm7 + samsung touchwiz ui (in Korean language), need to flash gapps from cm7, the performance same as cm7 and miui (still hv lag issue when open and sync gmail).

I uploading now to my dropbox and will give u the link after finish.

Thanks a lot Sinan for your info.

[Streak 5 Android Development] besony:
Any clue on the Landscaping?

Hey,

Guys on page 1 said- it is locked to portrait mode.

Any idea to turn it to normal ( auto-rotating) mode?

Downloading now!

Guys-gratitude-hit thanks to the person who uploaded to dropbox and gave us the linky! :)

( and obviously who gave the main link too! )

Thanks,

Sony.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Loco007:
Rotate

I think Samsung touchwiz is locked to portrait, but if you use another launcher you should be ok.

How did you other guys get the notification bar to show?
[Streak 5 Android Development] kenlah:
Las Piñas?! Kapwa pinoy! Hehe. So how's the performance? Any issues?
[Streak 5 Android Development] angelerikz:
It feels like running hpa's cm7 with 240 dpi. I still preferred the dsc rom. The only thing that I like with the Leedroid was the touchwiz
[Streak 5 Android Development] GT247:
Rotation...

I use an app from the market called "Ultimate Rotation Control"...it has a free 7 day trial and then after that you either pay for it or go back to however your phone was before you got it. Worth every penny I paid for it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kenlah:
I just installed the said rom, after a few trials I returned to Longhorn, its a bit weird looking at a CM7 based rom and on 240 dpi. I settled with 160 but the screen or launcher look odd.
[Streak 5 Android Development] VU HEO:
I had flash it yesterday, it play good with my DS. I thinked it faster CM or MIUI because it 's removed too program inside

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
Hello everyone, I was trying to install new rom by using hd2 toolkit, first I did a task29 then I flashed radio. I mixed the steps and installed hspl, so after that I am not able to install anythink on my phone. First I tried installing Magdlr but it wouldn't passed 0%, then I tried task29 again and 0% again. Then I think the problem would be hd2 toolkit but no, I tried task29 standalone and no work, flashing a radio rom and no work. What can I do now? Thanks in advance..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Don't you read things carefully before doing something like this? :rolleyes: If you had another phone, there's a chance you could have bricked it by doing something stupid like that.

Are you able to enter the bootloader? What SPL version does it show there? Have you tried flashing a stock ROM via the SD card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
First task29 was completed, then radio rom installed, and then hspl. All done by hd2 toolkit. After that I couldn't able to flash anythink like rom, task29 or else. So my phone only enters when i open it with volume button, else it only displays htc logo.

PB81100 SS-BC

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
I even tried installing stock rom but still no good! It stucks at loading... screen, help me please!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengfei:
hi, check the link Below, does it show the same SPL?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
nope, mine is SPL-2.08.0000, but I can change it with hspl4, but can't downgrade it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thamlim:
U mixed up the sequence mate, the guide says that 1st install HSPL then Task29 then Radio.

Did u still have connection between your phone and computer?

if not try hit reset button while holding down the volume key.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
yep, i mixed it. i can reset it but without any rom update or any update (it won't pass 0%) it has no meaning to reset the phone. I have connection between computer via usb in bootloader mode only!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thamlim:
If u can connect the phone to your computer via boot loader that's a good new's mate. There's still hope to fix your phone.

So u currently has SPL 2.08 right?

and please check if u has radio ver 2.15.50.14?

if u has both of this and u still cannot install MAGDLR.

I used to has this problem. After i decided to switch to cLK it Fixed everything.

may be u should try too :).

U can do it via HD2tool kit. by connect phone to your computer under bootloader mode (the red green white blue screen)

** Dont' for get to chosing cLK partition that's match your ROM requirement **

after install cLK then install Recovery then Flash the ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Please, if you don't know exactly what you're talking about don't give out incorrect information. It is NOT possible to install cLK without HSPL, and thus the Task29 won't work either.

@OP, have you tried installing a stock ROM from the SD card? I'm not sure exactly how to do this (see, not giving incorrect info ;)) but if I'm not mistaken the procedure is to rename the stock ROM to a .zip extension, unzip it, copy RUU_signed.nbh to the SD card and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, then enter the bootloader and follow the onscreen instructions. However, please check somewhere else that what I've said is correct as well. From here, you can just flash HSPL then MAGLDR, CWM and a zip ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejjjjj:
Problem solved, thanks for your answers!
[HTC Sensation] demonsavatar:
Anyone else notice the framerate in the camera viewfinder is kinda slow? Its immediately apparent when you move the phone in camera mode suddenly and you see the screen blur.

I compared it with my Galaxy Blaze and you can really tell the difference.

I have tried stock, ARHD ICS 6.6.4, and ARHD with the High Quality camera mod, all have the same problem.

Turning down the picture quality makes no difference (didnt think it would) since the viewfinder still displays the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
I have a P6800.

I think it's a great tablet with many technical innovations.

I accept it wouldn't be to everyones taste.

I've worked in electronics in both retail, wholesale and manufacturing for a fair proportion of my working life.

Why haven't Samsung yet worked out that announcing a new product, then making the market wait months and months for shipment, while continuing to announce new products (which also won't ship for months) is undermining their impact in the market.

The new product announcements deter individuals and more importantly retailers (bricks and mortar not virtual) from carrying the product as they'll be concerned they'll either get left with stock or get hit with price drops.

Grey importing from the Far East destroys retailers willingness to carry a product with a RRP of £350 when it's available from Far East drop shippers for around 2/3 of that price.

This scattergun approach to product launches and lack of discipline in global pricing is seriously undermining Samsungs long term success in my opinion, someone somewhere high up in the organisation should really step back and make some hard decisions on strategy.

With so many products to support it takes a disproportionate amount of time to release updates (as we've seen with the P6800 6 months after ICS release) and the customer experience is therefore diminished.

Fanboiism only goes so far, a coherent, global, long term, production and marketing plan is what works in the market.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 55brianb:
They also need to work on their pricing - I'd have bought one of these 7.7's long ago if they'd been realistically priced. As they are (in the UK) they're simply overpriced.

In general the Galaxy Tab range is just way too expensive - I know 2 people who bought iPad 3's instead as they were the same price as the 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
You have to differentiate between lower price and diifferent price.

Personally I think the 7.7 is worth every penny and if Samsung did better marketing they could show the differences between the 7.7 and the IPad 3.

Instead they now have 5 different product ranges or 6 if you include the Galaxy Note....

7 Plus

7.7

8.9

10.1

7 v2

These, in theory, come in various memory sizes although I've never seen any memory size of more then 16gb on the 8.9, 7.7 or 7 plus ranges.

The average time between announcement and shipping seems to be 5 months and even today in the UK you cannot buy a UK sourced 7.7 3G as far as I know and it's 8 months since it was announced.

There are rumours of a 11.6? unit coming.

While I understand the desire to have a comprehensive range the reality is that Samsung are spreading themselves too thin and instead of launching 1 product in say 3 sizes they see each version as a totally new product. This means they themselves are confused about the offerings, this is reflected in the lack of marketing 'punch' in their message.

My suggestions for what could help.

1. Stop any new tablet announcements for 12 months.

2. Simplify the product range for an announcement in 12 months.

The range should be....

11.6 with no bezel (so same physical form factor as the current 10.1)

8.9 with no bezel

7 or 7.7

All should have Super Amoled Plus (or anything newer and better that's arrived by then)

The range should be technically identical except for the screen size (the specifics of the offerings would need to be worked out nearer to the launch)

Ship globally the full range within 4 weeks of the announcement, concentrate your marketing spend to this one 'product' in three size 'flavours'.

Sit back and reap the rewards.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
In what regards consumer electronics, Samsung is being crushed by its own growth, "ungovernance" and lack of focus.

I've noticed this has been going on since, at least, 2007 year of my first interaction with them on account of the BDP-5000 combo player.

Like many Asian corporate giants, seen from the outside, Samsung seems like either (1) they don't have anyone at the helm or (2) they have too many people allowed at that very same helm, just giving the odd directional input, as they cluelessly seem fit.

When I see a photo of Gee-Sung Choi I don't think "Hey!...So that's the man behind all those incredible devices...".

Instead I think "...So, this is the guy behind that ugly mess..."

(PS: Mine was 479 EUR at Dixons, in the Netherlands...excellent, excellent price)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jeremyr62:
You can buy a UK sourced 3G 7.7 from Clove Technology. Product code is GT-P6800LSAXEU. Price is an eye watering GBP478.80. When it gets to GBP350 I might get one. Current price is just too expensive for something which will be superseded in 6 months.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 2stepsteve:
Yep!!

I am no marketing expert but even I can say that Samsung are continually missing out on opportunities for more sales, and more to the point getting themselves known. This isn't just the case with the P6800.

I know marketing/advertising is expensive but the rewards they would reap would be huge. Especially with the new budget Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet, there are many people out there hungry for a capable tablet, but don't they want to shell out £500 for a tablet. An advertising campaign would make all the difference.

Look at the Galaxy Note! It took them 3 months to start TV adverts for it here. They really haven't a clue about marketing. Instead they are churning out products left, right and centre. Trying to cover all bases, it's an insane tactic.

The 7.7 is definitely over priced here, over £400 for the Wifi only model is just nuts. I don't own a 7.7 just yet, but I am very tempted. However, I don't have too much faith that ICS is actually coming to the 7.7.. also it's not been a very popular device for developers to play with, we can blame the price tag for that. It kinda feels like that even Samsung aren't really that interested in the 7.7. It's availability in general says something to me... then again Samsung are just a strange company.

Samsung have this frantic idea to push as many new products out the door, their business model is so wrong. They are shooting themselves in the foot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 55brianb:
Yea, Expansys have them too (SAMP680016GBS) at GBP479.99. I agree that GBP350's more realistic, but I'm not holding my breath.

I've just checked and you can pick them up on Amazon.com for USD597 (GBP371). Yet again we pay through the nose in Europe - Amazon.de's selling them for EUR742 (GBP591) and Amazon.fr for EUR683 (GBP544)!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Samsung probably doesn't go by the same metrics and ideas as you. People here often refer to the 7.7 as Samsung's "flagship tablet". It's really not. It's certainly their nicest one, and one that probably is the most difficult to manufacture.

The 10.1 is their "flagship" since that's what's selling and that's the direct competitor to the iPad (or least it used to be). The 7.7 is more of a niche edge thing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
The 10.1 isn't selling in the UK or quite a few other parts of Europe.

My point isn't about this tablet or that tablet, it's about Samsungs lack of overall strategy.

Simplistically if you had 1 product in 3 size 'flavours' it allows you to price differentiate accordingly. Especially as the Internet means that your pricing strategy has to be global.

The current RRP pricing in the UK could work (and I know some people here will say it never would) if they concentrated their marketing spend and targetted it effectively, the reality is they're just spread way too thin with too many products and no clear strategy.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
Here (austria) you can get the 7.7 for 499EUR. Shipping in EU is around 10EUR. Just wanted to state that because it seems to me that everybody thinks you can't get this device at a proper price. (german price is very overwhelmed because the tab 7.7 isn't officially available in germany!)

By the way I don't think the price is a huge problem as you get the device for "free" when signing a contract for mobile internet, and without that the tab is pretty much useless anyways.

Back to topic: I totally agree samsung is carrying a very strange marketing strategy. Also I think the idea of "unifying" the tabs, so that screen size is only technical difference and launch all of them with one big marketing campaign would be alot better and more efficient than just rolling out device after device after device. I can imagine some people don't want to buy a tab because you can be sure 2 or 3 months later the next, better model is announced. I think better support (ie releasing updates in time and for a longer period of time) would be much better than having slightly better hardware every few weeks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
OP actually listed marketing strategies of Apple. Unfortunately Samsung could not, and probably never will follow the very same strategies.

Samsung actually follows the best marketing strategy, only that strategy focuses on profit, rather than customers, like Apple does. That's why you think Samsung made a mess in marketing, from customer's perspective.

Also, price segmentation, wide variety of product line and hidden product roadmap is exactly most vendors do for decades, for profit maximization. Not that I believe these are the best strategies, Apple for one has proven them wrong.

In short Apple's marketing strategies must accompany with market-dominating products, which is a very risky marketing model for most corporations. (I think I should stop at this point, I found discussing marketing in tech forum boring indeed :D)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
Errr...

I didn't quote use the marketing strategies of Apple. Apple have a very different value proposition which is based upon diverse revenue streams.

1. While they make good money on their hardware their tight control of their App and ITunes stores generate them substantial and very profitable secondary revenue streams.

2. They are single product focused (the continued sale of the IPad2 is to run down production lines in my opinion). They only have single products in a segment, albeit with different memory sizes.

3. While they present themselves as a technical leader they are in my opinion a very good marketing operation who package up others technical breakthroughs.

I met Steve Jobs back in about 1979, he was pretty good at pinching other peoples ideas even then.

I disagree with your assessment that Samsung focus on profit, frankly the marketing of their tablets in Europe has been non existent. Unless you're selling a product you're not making profits and allowing such large pricing differentials in markets just encourages grey imports and undermines your message to your stockists.

I know of at least two major UK retailers who carry Samsung tablets but don't carry the full range and don't have presentation units on display, when I asked them why they said "...because we don't know where their focus is...." (my paraphrase).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
I'm glad that you are interesting in this boring topic.

Actually I think we were not discussing above three point before. Anyway, I agree with you except point 3, I have problems with Apple in their motives on crushing technological advancement, least honoring them with the title of technical leader.

It depends on regions. As liberal as they seem to be, many EU countries have strict imports restrictions that effectively repel foreign imports. I can't speak for Samsung, but in our case our electronics products have to go through complicated regulations on standards and safety measures, before being allowed to import, with applied period and quantity constraints. Also, EU has their own patent office, on the top of USPTO, which in effect erecting a huge import barrier to all import goods, especially electronics.

Given such a huge barrier, it makes sense for a large corporation cutting back budget in marketing. For example, delay in launching Galaxy Tabs in Germany as a result of on-going litigation causing them to lose the time-to-market, and you wouldn't be surprise when they retreat all the marketing campagin planned.

UK has a different story. I cannot detail that without offending British Government or people supporting them. So please let me pass on that. As to the reason why Samsung widely expands the product lines in Galaxy Tab, I think I have explained before. This is not about market-focusing, it is about market-segmentation.

I wish my above points reaching you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
I think Samsung have got the right strategy by offering a choice of different tablet sizes in the same way that laptops are offered in different sizes. A lot of the big laptop players such as Toshiba are now entering the market and offering a choice of 3 or 4 tablet sizes. People have become brain washed by the Apple one size fits all approach.
