It looks like a fake cuz when u try to download the update the file name contains other device name "I8552" and as we all know galaxy w is "I8150" so just by flashing it u will brick your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
It's for Samsung Galaxy Win. And its not fake. Samsung called the Win, W. Sigh...

IT'S ANNOUNCED! LE NEXUS 5!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
I just installed a AOSP 4.4_r1 build compiled by the AOSPA-team on my Nexus 7, and it feels quite nice. The new launcher is really an improvement, though it isn't optimized for tablet screens yet.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Yep...? Nice, bro... What about the Nexus device? Are you planning to buy it after a birthday? :p

SlimKat

hi... SlimKat comin' ride up

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2508401

it's a good news for us to have it, due KitKat was aimed for entry level devices with 512mb RAM...

the great point is: the source are available :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Hm, not sure what the "Win" is but that can´t be the SG W as this was named "Wounder".
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Mind you. This ROM is for the Galaxy Win, which isn´t the same like the W(ounder).

The Win has a quad core CPU and is a totally different device. Read the comments over there. Some ppl flashed it and bricked their SGW´s. This guy has obviously no clue what he is talking about or most likely not carring what bull$hit he posted over there. He got reminded to correct this but he still didn´t.

So no, there is no official JB for the SGW and I doubt Samsung will ever change this.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yayakuya:
K... that's one answer just enough for me :)

let's talking about another... how about port the SlimKat from its sources...

hope there's someone (devs) who had enough times to do it :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Yeah, I am dreaming of kitkat too, but in first line I am happy to have Android 4.3.1 on my wonder.

Thanks for that devs.

What future brings...we will see.

I think kitkat would be a great experiment.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] xlollomanx:
i guys! after more than a year with cm9 I'm thinking to switch to cm 10.1 or cm10.2, so the question is: who have tried both roms, can tell me with which rom you found better about games and fluidity? And what about cm10?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Hey,

make a nandroid backup and try it. I switch between 10.2 and 10.1, because I can't decide for one of each. 10.1 is better in battery usage and 10.2 schould be better in performance and it's more interessting (because it is newer and sweeter?).

But before flashing something, change recovery to a newer version, because of problems with 10.2 flashing.

I have another question, can somebody explain me the difference (or changelog) from recovery 6.0.44 to 6.0.45? Are there important changes?

And I have read somewhere that there are recovery versions with the opportunity to do inkremental Backups is this possible for us too?

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
Try every ROM by yourself (and tweak it with mod, if you want). You can't rely on other people's opinion. Because everybody use their phone for different usage, different apps, different mods, and more differences.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Everything between commit "6.0.4.4" and commit "Bump 6.0.4.5" can be considered to be the changelog. Not sure what is that incremental backup or what exactly is it supposed to do so I can't really answer the second part of your question.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/cm-10.2
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hadidjapri:
what is incremental backup means?

if what u mean is u have option to backup either only some part (data,system,boot) then advance cwm by philz could do it. not sure if twrp can do it or not

Sent from my GT-I8150
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sigprof:
CWM Recovery supports several backup formats, and one of these formats (“dup”) provides features similar to incremental backups — if you perform a new backup which contains some files that are identical to files included in previous backups, those files will not be stored again in the backup, thus saving some space (e.g., if you perform multiple backups while running the same ROM, the whole /system partition will be the same, except possibly for some files that you edited using root privileges). This is implemented by storing all files in the “blobs” directory, and backups contain just references to those files.

However, the “dup” format has an important downside — instead of a small number of big *.tar files (or *.tar.gz supported by the most recent CWM), you will get a large number of small files on your SD card, which can result in performance and power consumption problems. In recent Android versions the builtin “media scanner” component scans all files on the SD card — even creating .nomedia files does not stop the media scanner from scanning files and adding them to the database, it just hides files in those directories from the gallery. This results in multiple problems:

Large database files are created in the internal memory (/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db).

Scanning all those small files on the SD card takes a long time (I seen scans taking more than 15 minutes). A rescan is performed after every phone reboot, and also after disconnecting the phone from the computer if the USB storage mode was used. The phone is still usable during that time, but may be somewhat laggy.

Lots of battery power is consumed during those long scans (the actual consumption obviously depends on your SD card contents and the quality of your battery; with a relatively old battery you may find that more than 10% of battery charge is lost during the media scan).

There is also no way to copy just a single backup from the SD card to some other place — the only thing you can do is to copy the whole “blobs” folder together with backup folders; in addition, copying lots of small files can be very slow.

And if you need to free some space on your SD card by deleting some old CWM backups, with the “dup” format you cannot do it just by deleting backup folders from the SD card using any file manager — you will need to reboot into CWM recovery and perform garbage collection to remove obsolete files from the “blobs” directory (this procedure will take some minutes to complete; it is also performed automatically when you make a new backup in CWM). There is also no way to estimate how much space will be freed if you delete some backups (if you are deleting a backup, but keeping another backup which has lots of files in common with the deleted one, this won't free much space).
