This is stock kernel better to flash Ardatdat's kernel which is safe one buddy....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] harshb:
thanks for the link buddy..i just need to flash that kernel with odin right?..or do i need to factory reset my phone first?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
No buddy. Just Flash that zip file from CMW recovery & then do next step. Don't wipe data or cache if you are on stock kernel. it may brick your phone.

Status in Spain

I've asked Yoigo and Samsung for a release date in Spain.

Yoigo says that Samsung has not given the source code yet to them to make his own rom.

Samsung Spain says that they have no release date planned... (also they insist in checking kies often for an update, as if we were stupid).

¿Anyone knows how to push Samsung to continue their releases in Europe? I'm scared of installing another rom via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] harshb:
thanks man..it worked..am now enjoying mazel 2 with ease

@harshb: Happy to help you. But pressing thanx button speak louder then words here.;)

@Yer0: buddy I think Northern Europe got the ICS update. NORDIC ROM is already been released. You can check at sticky threads in Devs sections.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
nice to hear that its working.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] yer0:
I know that. Northern Europe is not Spain. Spain is not a Nordic Country. I guess Samsung means that they've not release date for Spain and then, for Yoigo.

My sgr with 2.3.4 have about 12/14 hours of battery life. With ICS nordik y ardatdat kernel 4.0 I've got more than 30 hours of battery. I use the mobile with twets, music, some games, watsapp... Normal use i think

Can Understand

HI. Today some new firmwares had appeared in sammobile, some are 2.3.6!!!

In my case GT-I9103	Spain (Yoigo)	2012 September	Android 2.3.6	I9103XWLP3	I9103YOGLP3	Download	Unlock	Info

We already have 2.3.6 since September 2011, as you can see in the same webpage. ¿Can anyone confirm that this is 4.0.4? 2 Other countries are in the same state. I've checked kies and have no updates. ¿Does it mean that it's going to be released?

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

It issss 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
I tried the I9103DXLP6 11/10/2012 singaporean rom.. had some pre installed apps like sonar, citibank, B-Secure etc. I uninstalled those using TB :).

Performance wise i cant comment anything as its as usual as any other ICS rom thats released !!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Could you please test if games run smoothly? Most of the stock ROMs were buggy and caused random freezes in most games.. thanks

From my CM10 powered galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Let me know which games you want to test?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Temple run, subway surfers, fruit ninja, almost all used to have the freezing issue... you could test anyone or any other game from your preference as well..

From my CM10 powered galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
was able to run fruit ninja without any freezes.. played all modes..

Let me try temple run and report..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Sandheep:
Could you check any version of angry birds as well. I am on the stock Nordic ROM and it freezes every few minutes for me. Be aware that the Temple run game itself has a bug that makes the chatterer skip forward (this is a game bug and not a problem with the phone)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Yes Sandeep you are right the game itself stutters when apes come behind you. Other than that I didn't see any freeze per se although I played for few minutes only.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karan_chopra:
I want to ask About this Brick Bug or emmc check bug, So what if we use the latest European Ics firmware to flash via Odin and then wipe and clear the cache via normal android recovery (not with cwm) as we don't even need cwm to instal offical ics roms, do i still have chances to brick my phone?

if yes then what to do if wana format it?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Buddy after installing ics u need to install the ardatdat's kernel coz if u will delete data or cache after installing ics, can brick ur phone. So, if u want to wipe data then do it on ur GB. After that dont wipe data or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karan_chopra:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gelezniyden:
Hey guys,I'm greeting you! I'm new member of your community. In Russia we have own forum about Galaxy R and of course about firmwares. So for Russia Samsung hasn't provided firmware update so we can use only 2.3.4 which is most staible by my opinion such as I already tested 4.0.4 (Nordic contries, Poland, Taiwan ) and I'd like to mentioned that I used only official firmwares. I didn't change any kernels and so forth. So I liked Nordic most than other but it still has so many bug and issues which need to fix like following: player stops to play I even if don't touch it, games like angry birds freeze on one moment, I lost my screen locker and power menu, then I started to get one error don't remember how it called and at the end my phone stoped charge. I deceided to rolle back to 2.3.4 and I live and glad my old firmware. I flashed it through Odin. I'd like to hear feedbacks from users where samsung officially released their firmwares and they already flashed through Kies how your firmwares work with same bugs and issues or not ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Well ICS ROMs by any country are buggy... the build quality is not good...

also i would recomend you to move on to CM10 or cm10 based roms....coz you want have any bugs..quality is 10times good than ICS...games wont freeze...and also you would never feel to revert back...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gelezniyden:
You know Man anyway I'd like to hear opinions from people who use official firmware for their countries. And cm 10 else has many bugs like

following:

Following isn't work:

- Video recording and related apps (Recording can be started but the videos can't be saved) - Anything which requires a functional mic except for calls, which aren't affected. - Wi-Fi tethering with secured / password protected networks. - Bluetooth tethering - Bluetooth A2DP - Searching and selecting a network manually - Secondary microphon

End I don't like that cause I have stable firmware and want or better one our noting.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
no problems.. its ur decision.....just suggesting you...

i stick with cm10, because the bugs you mentioned are hardly been used by me..

you can go with Stock Nordic Rom as it has less bloatware as compared with Austrian ROM

or you have amazing Custom Rom BB rom or Mazel II.. these ROM will really enhance the UI of your phone
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gelezniyden:
As I've mentioned previously I already tested Nordic and didn't like it cause so many bugs. So I didn't read anything about Rom BB rom or Mazel II. Found thread about BB rom will read. Thank you for help Man.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] yer0:
The Spanish (Yoigo) one works flawlessly. If you experience some little lags on games (0,5 seconds unresponsive), then you can close all other aplications and clear the memory, and it does not happen again until you use some applications after you finish playing.

Hey everybody, I need your advice. I tested all European firmwares, each has own bugs, so and the end I chouse Open Austria android 4.0.4, so but when I turn on "Data network mode" it doesn't work through my cell provider (Operator), works only wi-fi, when I tried to requst setings of network my provider said that your divece doesn't support GPRS technology that's rediculous! I live in Russia and I suppose may be it doesn't work cause firmware for another country (Austria) ? By the way on Nordic countries is same situation. Guys who knows what's going on there please give me good explanetion. Thanks before.

First of many posts? Not sure but anyways just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to this post. I just updated to ICS after much deliberation.

BTW. last message from Samsungs Facebook-wall:

Hello again, Henrik!

Unfortunately, this is not true, and information on the page is now fixed. Many thanks to you made ​​us aware of this! Galaxy R / Z will be updated but when it occurs is still unclear. When we know that we put this up on Facebook: **link**

**link** - enter facebook.com then "/samsungsverige/app_208195102528120", and you will reach the swedish updating list.

Here's the link for everyone: Samsung Sweden's ICS update list(It's an image so can't use Gtranslate)

Though Galaxy R's ICS info hasn't been corrected / added on the tre.se website let's hope they correct it when they next update the list.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Screw you Nvidia. Closed hardware always causes problems when it comes to porting new kernels. I'm sure its the tegra chip that's causing the problem. Proof? If Samsung was to be blamed...what about other manufacturers MOTO:p? or LG? Even they haven't yet released ICS updates for their Tegra phones. In short there are many obstacles between us and ICS...to name a few:

1. Closed Hardware

2. Now discontinued

3. Not Famous ==> Poor Support

I tried reaching samsung_india on twitter...but they are not even replying:mad:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Henrikwango:
Thanks for linking! If anyone wants a translate, just reply and i do it.

In the link it's basicly said that Samsung Presents the Update-list where all further updates are being presented, and it keeps getting updated.

:D:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
ingen uppgift = no data! lol
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Yep that's funny cause that word has 'gift' in it. :silly:

That's fine it's not required cause only thing that matters is to have 4.0 besides 2.3 in that list. :D

When they update the time of release it's also going to be in numbers like 'Q3' which everyone should be able to understand.

Thanks anyways & the link has been added to the OP as well. :)

Cheers !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Henrikwango:
Lol xD Wierd translate. I prefer "No Information"
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karan_chopra:
i don't want to be all negative or anything, but i don't think our device is gona get ics update, Sweden has changed there status for our phone to no data (XDD), any other country which has information on SGR ics update?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
heh, just "gift" means "married", but for example "giftig" is "poisonous, venomous" ;)

Seriously guys, that's really shameful what it'is going on here with ICS update. S2 has already got: 4 ICS updates and it's no longer a flagship. While SGR's (not much less powerful device) users in Sweden still "enjoy" 2.3.4 I guess. (Är det så Henrikwango ;) ?) Ridiculous!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Henrikwango:
Well, seems like samsung is holding on to ICS-announcement as long as possible to keep us as customers.

Haha, ja det stämmer (fortfarande 2.3.4), det har inte förändrats eller uppdaterats sedan enheten lanserades i Sverige (i juli/augusti förra året).

(translated: Haha, that's right (still 2.3.4), hasn't changed or updated once since release in Sweden (july/august last year).

Firmware in use is still 2.3.4, but it works more than fine. Never experienced a single lag.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Dev_Tony:
I have asked samsung india facebook page about Galaxy R ICS update. they didnt respond to me.

see this news about android update alliance of google

"Google's Android keynote was packed with announcements, most prominent among them the introduction of Jelly Bean, the next version of the Android mobile operating system. While it looks to be a solid update to last year's Ice Cream Sandwich, there's a big question that always looms large over the announcement of any new Android version: these features look nice and all, but will my device ever be upgraded?

At last year's Google I/O, the company announced the Android Update Alliance, an initiative through which Google would work with its partners to ensure that Android phones and tablets would receive updates for at least 18 months after their introduction."
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ZeXzr:
People calm down, If they told us later this month to get ics then should wait until the end of the month and the beginning of the next. If they are already on the 100 questions answered soon on Samsung India & other Samsung pages have made even some dates then should wait.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ofabhishek:
I agree...:fingers-crossed:

we should wait atleast 2 more weeks
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
How do they develop?

I couldn't find a proper thread to post this....thought this would be a better place.

All of us have heard about Nvidia's closed hardware policy wherein they won't release the drivers for our device. Am I right?.

Fine, So that is the reason why porting ICS to our device running the tegra 2 chipset is difficult? Right? At least thats what I heard.

Very well, If thats the case....

1. How are our dev's porting GB 2.3.7 CM 7.2 to our device without the proper drivers?

2. How did samsung develop GB 2.3.3 for our device without the proper drivers in the first place when our device was released?:confused:

3. If the dev's can do both the above things without proper drivers for our device....then why can't ICS be ported in the same way?

Note: Here I'm assuming (from what I have read) that Nvidia is not ready to release ICS drivers for their Tegra 2 chipset. So in all probability, they would have followed the same policy for GB drivers. So even GB drivers for our chipset are not available. This is just an assumptions...correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gkarthik16:
1. Because devs are extracting the drivers/libraries from the official ROM from Samsung

2. The official ROM from Samsung came because Nvidia will release the drivers only to Samsung. They will not release to the open source community. So the developers have to wait till the official ROM arrives, so that they can do what I told in point 1.

3. Now we're waiting for Nvidia to release the drivers for ICS to Samsung. (Motorola in my case). After that, point 2 will happen. After that point 1 will happen.

If Nvidia really cares about open source development, they should've released the drivers to everyone. Drivers are closed source. Nobody is asking the source code of the drivers. The developers are asking only for the drivers, not the source. Nvidia is not ready to do that also. If they do that, Cyanogenmod would be giving official ICS ROMs for our phones.

Thanks buddy

Dear all

Thanks to all you guys there who helped me to play around with my Galaxy R. I was worried if I could root my recently upgraded ICS 4.0.4. and was afraid to fiddle with my device without proper guidance. I was helped by your post and now not only have I rooted my device, but also have swapped the internal memory with the external memory. You guys are genius, not only because you know the answers but also because you make it so simple that even a numbskull like me can fiddle with my device, improving it further.

I just need one more help, my battery is getting drained quicker than when it was in GB 2.3.5. Is is because of the firmware upgrade or because of the rooting? Please help me to improve the battery life of my Galaxy-R

Amit Tayade
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Hey buddy,

warm welcome from my side on behalf of everybody here & thanks for choosing right thread for question.

Now, When you upgrade to ICS, battery drain faster then GB. so, what you can do..??

1) just stop wifi/3g/2g data if you are not using it.

2) Kill all process using Task manager/task killer when you are not using that.

3) Do check if your mobile is going to deep sleep. (what is deep sleep -> check here) using CPU SPY apk(you can download it using play store)

then revert back with snapshot of the cpu spy but after using atleast 3-5 hrs.

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
tayadeamit Thats ICS common Problem in ICS, Rooting will not do any thing....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
why..?? I usually kill the task using task manager & hence my battery backup increased. I m on CM10.1 & due to that I posted about the same in General thread of CM10.1

EDit: I have edit few words, check there.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Its really sad that Samsung gave us ICS just for the namesake, crippled with so many problems. Gaming is laggy, battery life is ****, people have been reporting missed call issues. In that respect GB was much more stable....Sad:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Actually some RD's in XDA say that Task killers need to be tweaked before hand, coz most task killers, kill ALL inactive tasks, even system ones. The battery wasted in restarting these tasks negates the battery saving effect of the task killer apps. That's what I read.:o
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Thats what i read also. but thing is that, the task which usually not to be run & still running which can be ended using task manager must be killed, so that battery wouldn't drain so much.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] tayadeamit:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Vikesh

Please find the screenshot of the CPUspy app.

Suggest me something regarding saving the battery juice. during the night itself I am losing 30%-40% of the juice with all 'sync' off, no Bluetooth, no WI-fi, no calls. only my data service is on. earlier with GB 2.3.5 it used to drain hardly 10%-15% of the juice.

Please help me buddy.

tayadeamit
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Calm down buddy.

As in attached file, your cpu worked over 760Mhz for 1 and half an hr. SO possibilities is there, it could drain very much due to this. So, in night please off your data too.
