ported 2.3.7, working smoothly, UI is way better than ics, battery life and performance is way better than ics.

but of course this kind of things/answers depends on the user's preferences. as for me, don't think i will ever go back to ics.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Gee I wonder if, instead of muppeting about with lame opinions, if anyone has written up a well researched technical document about the differences.

That'd make a change.

Also, and I hate to say it, but if your opinion of a good ROM is that "it's smooth" then you're probably a smouldering idiot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
wheres the problem, i already played games like asphalt 6 and me: infiltrator on my ray running ics.

some lags here and there, but all in all pretty playable. overclocked, of course.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kriomag:
Hi, do you mean new adreno drivers for 562? that supposed to be faster etc? i installed this driver and i dad even lower score in antutu 2D & 3D :/

Where this driver is faster than the old one? i felt like it was slower in Reckless Racing 2 on new drover than on old :/

i use 4.0.4 with 7.2.6
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AeonWorld:
I think your phone is screwed up ics 4.0.4 is dam fast and when u root and apply some scripts and tweaks it gets more smoother

Hi everyone...

I was a ray user but now i've shifted to HTC one V...one V has same processor and GPU which ray has but i really think that kernel is the main problem in Xperia lineup

All xperias are still on 2.3.XXX kernel while other ICS devices are now using 3.0.XXX

I think that's the problem :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
whats "damn fast" for you, i tried several 4.0.4 roms, none of them is as fast as gb is.

just switched bach vom rayonium 6.2 to fxp cyanogenmod 7.2 and there's a big difference

in speed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
Hi. I just wanted to update the situation on GB vs ICS now that I finally had some time to downgrade.

I have been using ICS 4.0.4 stock rom and KA20.2 rom, both of them supercharged to 100%, bloatware removed, sirkay kernel (no overclock).

Games that I found unplayable on ICS run smoothly on Gingerbread. For example, Let's Golf 3, Wind Up Knight, Riptide GP (worked fine in ICS but sometimes hanged and caused the phone to reboot in ICS), Asphalt 6. Games that ran with some lag in ICS are smooth as silk on GB, for example Fruit Ninja and Falling Fred.

Apps that work with some lag in ICS work perfectly in Gingerbread, for example the launcher, any live wallpaper, video recording.

The browser is much faster in GB but is not as compatible with desktop pages, some things show up with errors or not in the right spot. The browser itself though, is WAY more stable and less prone to hanging when using the flash player. Flash player works perfectly in GB and you can actually watch 720p youtube videos in the browser, if I tried to do this or do some flash heavy browsing in ICS, it was very likely to slow down to a crawl and eventually crash and force the supercharged launcher to redraw too. I also had the entire phone lock up and reboot after browsing some flash heavy sites like Gametrailers in desktop mode. Also, sometimes, after the browser crashes in ICS, it would stop loading any page or the ability to refresh or stop the loading of a page.

Also, there are the bugs in ICS when it comes to light notifications, choppy video recording with mono sound, and no compass in google maps.

As it stands right now, the only features ICS has that I really miss in gingerbread are the NXT ui and rotation animation (rotation is much faster in GB), but that's just eye candy. What's the feature that you guys cannot live without that's in ICS and not GB?

I think I'll just keep GB on my Ray, but I have to say that this whole ICS fiasco for me has made me actually get buyer's remorse for the first time, before this, I actually loved it. On GB it is very smooth and 100% usable, reliable, fast, but not being able to upgrade to the latest stuff is always disappointing.

That is all.

I don't really care about the technicalities or eye candy. It all comes down to "the system is not as stable, reliable, fast, usable" for me.

If I was able to play some games before but not anymore, that's a problem. If I was able to browse the web in desktop mode before but not anymore, that's another problem. If the compass in google maps doesn't work, that's a big problem.

The list goes on and on.

If I just wanted to make calls and send SMS, I would not have gotten a smartphone but a 50€ generic cellphone. I think a smartphone should be able to do certain things properly by default without requiring some heavy tinkering just to make the piece of crap run at a near acceptable performance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kieran1981:
I agree with the gingerbread version being faster than ICS. I have used JJdoctor's gblite rom for a week now and it truly flies, everything is instant, there is no crashes or errors I have come across and it's just over all better than ICS.

ICS does look better, but all that you need to do is download ADW launcher on gingerbread, download the ICS theme and download an ICS keyboard, and it looks like ICS, so it's a good compromise. I also find that the browser in gingerbread doesn't decide to close by itself randomly or crash like it does in ICS. I think I shall stick with JJ's gblite rom permanently, it doesn't need any overclocking either, it runs so perfectly you wouldn't notice any difference. Here is the link for anyone that wants to try. You need to install a gingerbread kernel (a link for one is in the provided link with JJdoctors rom) first or gingerbread won't load won't load: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560675

A complete thread for this?

I really hate this (I'm not judging your opinion, you can think whatever you want), because when there is nothing new: everybody complaints about 'why there is no development...'

Now, they actually came up with a new system (yeah, not bugfree yet and ok; still needs some finetuning), and still there are haters.

Why? They give you ICS (v4.0.4). Like it, use it. Hate it, stick with GB but let the development have it's way! When there's a v4.2 (let's say, BananaSplit :) ). It might actually work like a charm and you would regret your time spent on this thread.

I have the ICS on the Ray and it runs like a charm. So maybe you did something that affected that? I'm using ICS on my tablet and yes, works like a charm as well!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] buguk1010:
does that mean your idea of a good ROM is something that lags a lot, crashes every minute, and basically not usable?

guess it better to be a "smouldering idiot" idiot with a working phone, than a smart ass with a broken phone!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kenshinta:
SE themselves in their developer blog merely confirmed what many early adopters already know - ICS was made at minimum for 1GB RAM and higher CPU specs than 2011 devices., and anything less would pay for their hardware shotcomings, no matter how they will try to tweak ICS.

Which really makes it more surprising that most of the 2012 model range still sports those underpowered specs.

On GB itself RAM already is quite used at its limit.

People should differentiate "running at all" from "running well". I really think those who claim no difference from GB have adjusted their baseline consciously or unconsciously. The relative slowness IS a subjective perception but still quite noticeable.

I guess the only criticism here should be directed at the use of the word "horrible" - perhaps "not as expected" is a more PC term.

Also it's posted on the Development thread - a move would be warranted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
I was back on GB for a long time after the bad experience with the ICS leak a few months ago. I finally tried ICS again via Rayonium and everything has been working great. Sure its still not as silky smooth as GB but it is more than acceptable coming from a smoothness freak. Battery life and WiFi performance has improved lots.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] override187:
I dont see point of thread like this, someone like GB other like ICS an those two sides constantly argue which is better. Use what you like more and be happy.

I just want to say that we should be happy for getting ics and have choice to use what we like, also it is true that gb is currently better but ics is work pretty well it has some minor bugs but nothing too big and its stable and usable smooth and i think that all of that will be fix and improve in future updates and in the end we will have better ics than gb now.:D

enjoy your x-ray :)

why you fools don't understand the difference between dev section and general section.

Try to make out of my post and then reply if being a noob you still have brains otherwise dont even dare.

For the solution of the bug refer to cm9 discussion thread made by maclaw in general section of sgm.

Buzz has made some patches , learn how to apply them and find answers to your nooby problems...

I dont find good rudiments in mocking you , its just you should understand and follow the rules.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanquro:
My base band version is I9300XXLE8. I bought the phone in Spain.

Can I flash firmwares of other countries or I must stick to this base band?

I would like to flash another ROM to remove all the bloatware from Samsung, but other ROM's are based, for example, on STOCK I9300XXALEF 4.0.4, or XXALED, which are not the same base band as mine.

Is it safe to flash this firmwares as long as they're built for the SGS3?

Sorry for this noobish question, I've searched the forums and I haven't found anything.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
A good rule of thumb would be if its not been tested on your band then don't try it unless you don't mind testing it for the dev.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Having owned both S1, S2 and now S3 I would say you'd have no issues flashing any I9300 rom so long as you have an I9300.

I have an I9300T and can flash any I9300 firmware but need to flash a T modem (baseband) after that to get 3g reception.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searley:
My phone is a uk I9300XXLE8. And i flashed the omega 4 and 4.1 without any issue and thats based on XXALEF

Just remember to backup your existing rom, and you can go,back if there is a problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanquro:
That's just what I was going to post. If I take a nandroid backup before flashing and something goes wrong, I can always go back to the previous rom.

Thanks!

Thanks for answer :) Too bad... So I am impatiently waiting for new Icy Glitch kernel with CMW-based recovery. Hope it will be introduced soon. It would help many people because I have heard that some Icy Glitch users have problems with TWRP too. This kernel is really great. It's fast, stable and it has good battery life, but TWRP is disturbing its normal use. New version will be posted in thread for Icy Glitch, right?

http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/2051/20120609/what-samsung-galaxy-s3-users-will-miss.htm

"Apple has claimed that Samsung violated its patent for SIRI, the voice controlled assistant as it introduced "S-Voice" in its newest flagship phone Samsung Galaxy S3 and also infringed the automatic detection of certain types of data such as phone numbers, email addresses and hyperlinks as reported by The Inquirer."

Considering voice recognition has been around for over a decade if not closer to two, it's really one more pathetic attempt by Apple to control the market! I really hope they get some judges in there that have an understanding of technology!
[Galaxy S III General] katamine:
Meh voice control is just a gimmick, not to mention you look like a ****ing retard talking to a machine.

So Apple can take it imo their users are just a bunch of left handed facerolling dribble-sheep anyway :-P

Have you seen the new iphone design samsung should sue them for copying there round shape housing.. lolzz
[Galaxy S III General] kulzboy:
I'm not gonna go into how bad the editorial but just gonna go ahead and say that Samsung still have time to show them the source code and prove that they didn't infringe anything. The final verdict isn't out yet
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
The funny thing about source code, is that if the language is the same, the syntacs will be the same #main() is the same whether you a programing in windows, android or iOS. The proof is only in the comments not the code.

I could rebuild both Siri and the samsung voice system from ground up and there is a very real chance the code will look VERY similar. And when even the smallest program has hundreds of lines of code trying to prove this code or that is yours or theirs is very VERY hard. I personally think apple is trying to stop something that will decimate their iphone 5 before it's even out in market.
[Galaxy S III General] bondosho:
S-Voice is using Google's voice recognition API. Doubt Siri uses that.
[Galaxy S III General] doeboy711:
Well Apple is going at the Gnexus as well, but they haven't stopped the selling in the US, so why are they trying to ban the S3?

The same thing for HTC. Apple was/is trying to go after HTC for the second infringement from the OP. They are going after almost every HTC phone, but are only trying to ban the One Series and not the other phones that they are going after.

Apple is just trying to stop all of these new phone's that will put then to shame when they release the new iCrap 5 lol.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Interesting thread topic if anyone has produced the capabilities of a phone to do just that then Apple is more likely to lead the way .

[Galaxy S III General] tekhna:
I'd rather Samsung pull S-Voice rather than risk delaying US shipments. They can add it back later as an update. S-Voice, like Siri, is a gimmick and a waste of time. Not worth going to the mat over.
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
the people who want "just" a phone these days is so small a number, it don't make sense to even sell them anymore.

As for apple leading the way, doubt it.
[Galaxy S III General] slight22:
Right now, shutting apple down in any way is worth going to the mat over. Apple has to be stopped as they think they own everything.
[Galaxy S III General] BladeZero:
So true, I think apple is really worried, if I was Samsung I would tell them to stop hassiling us or find someone else to make the amazing screens, they advertised the iPad3 with an amazing one of a kind screen but Samsung made the screen, all apple has every been doing is taking an idea, changing it a little and saying that they created it and ever since Steven jobs died they have run outta proper new things to do and iOS users are noticing that, all my iPhone friends want me to put android on there phone cause whenever apple updates something the system gets slower not faster and they hate the control apple has over them.

No business is about making money. Apple has never been about business, Apple has always been a "crusade" against things. First it was IBM, then it was Microsoft, now it's everyone who has a product remotely similar to them. Apple's entire history has been "us VS them". Hell steve jobs even had bar "fights" where he would pit his teams against each other.

No this is a crusade to stop a cr@p company from selling anymore products that they can try to control how you run your day to day online activities.

I don't know, can anyone else see the irony of Apple today from their "1984" super bowl commercial??

Lets try and not get the thread closed for profanity ;)
[Galaxy S III General] voodoochild2008:
It would be nice if Samsung got so much money behind them that they could stop making parts for Apple, think 30 or 40% of the iphone 4 is made by Samsung.

There would be other companies out there...lg? who would step up but the change over would cripple Apple.

Always makes me laugh when Apple boys dis Samsung, if were not for them their phone would not even turn on.
