[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Expired Menthol:
So I have an SGS I-9000 and it's getting close to it's 3rd year now, so it's seen it's time even though the only damage is a slight crack in the rear cover.

a little while ago i tried my hand at rooting and some custom roms, trying out CM10 and a few others, and CM10 with 4.2.1 is eventually the one i've settled with. the problem is that the phone is really starting to slow down more and more, i could simply be an aging thing and if it is, then that's that. but i want to bring it back to it's 2.3.6 setting to make sure there's not much left to do about it.

So basically, I want to make sure each and every bit of bloated bits of junk that piled up is gone and bring it back as close as possible to it's state it was when i first got it. i'm just using it for calling, a little websurfing, texting, and low-res games (at least i think Rage of Bahamut is low-res). so it doesn't have to be powerful, just fast at these simple tasks.

got any tips, tricks, etc. or maybe i'm actually better of with something other than 2.3.6, any advice would be appreciated.

hi there ,

is there anyone out there that uses their xda2 with a mac

does it need special software to sync with the mac,?

any help on this would be very helpful.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] corum3:
personally is didnt notice any difference in speed with either OS on either kernel, but .55 seems smother running both stock and xzx2. I have used Xzx2 since its inception and do not have any problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
As I know it is not allowed to ask which rom is better...

From my experience XZX does not run smoother than .55

But it is not as laggy as hell...

Also XZX make my phone look like JB;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Clark Joseph Kent:
OP, to ask a question regarding which is faster... Xzxperience 2 vs stock 6.1.a.2.55 or 50, would be depending on your apps/usage and to the next Members apps/usage, as we all run differently.

I would just suggest run a test for yourself, and make the determination. Thank You.

Is there any way to get this through root or custom ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ackliph:
AFAIK no. You need the special SIMs just so you can use ISIS. Google doesn't show much love outside of Nexus I don't think. I say give it a few months and we may get official ISIS. Until then Dollar Generals and Home Depots accept Pay Pal (card less and phone less). And Square Wallet is accepted at a few places (card less).

IMO NFC payments are like 3D movies and motionflow TVs. Novel but not widely accepted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
You are correct, Google wallet and Tmobile's isis requires a secure element to which is not installed on the gs2. Tmobile has it is live in Dallas of i am not mistaken but requires a special SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
NFC payment systems are currently much more cumbersome than a basic credit card. I don't see them taking off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I dunno about all that, recently I was at a 7-11 and I had my nexus 7 with me which has goggle wallet installed. I made the transaction with no issue, in fact it was really easy and I wish that their has pumps where like that so that way all I would need is my tablet which I have with me all the time anyways. The biggest headache is finding places that would accept that form of payment and not looking like a douche... For the most part unless the NFC payment does not support one of the major credit card vendors then it would pose an issue but I would assume that they do so it shouldn't be an issue

it's not that they didn't want to, IIRC something changed in 4.1.2 update that doesn't support it any longer, there are posts about this in the thread. a quick search should show some more answers, I do remember reading you can still download some app that works.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisg405:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stkiswr:
Alsa mixer and call recorder by skvalex in the play store.

Very simple instructions.

Install alsa. It will say it needs to install other info. Let it. Once its done it will show you another screen. You do not have to adj anything in alsa. Back out.

Open the call recorder app. Your done!

Call recorder auto detected my i535 on beans ROM. I used it on moar. And used it stock with root. Currently I am using it with cm10.1

After every ROM flash even if its a nightly you will need to let alsa install and that's it.

Bad ass app for people tired of trying ones that don't work

The Battery Should work for atleast 4 Hours of Continuous Working and 16 Hours of Stand by

it takes 5 hours to charge it from 0:100%

(i don't know why didn't they just say how much Mah is The Battery)

weight : 750g

That's all what did they say about it so what do u think about a 1st tablet for egypt ?
​
[General Topics] DiscMan55:
I think the specs are good, rockchip 3306 is better than OMAP 4430/4460 which is still used in Samsung Galaxy Tabs, however I can see that the speakers are very small and weak (0.25 W only) and it looks like they used a battery size similar to the Kindle Fire (which has only average battery life).

This battery capacity maybe good enough for 7inch screen, but for 10inch, you need to up the capacity especially that the screen + backlight are the single most power draining components of a tablet.

Also, clocking the rockchip at 1.6 GHz will produce a lot of heat and given it is locally produced, I am not sure of their competence in designing for this heat dissipation. This can be improved (and maybe also battery life slightly improved) if we can underclock and undervolt the CPU.

The 1024x7xx resolution is OK i guess for a budget tablet, though I would have wanted at least HD resolution.

Still I think it is a good first tablet and it should help Android penetration in Egypt greatly.

(especially that the good tablets imported from abroad are overpriced greatly - "Tradeline (apple importer) I am looking at you").

For custom ROMs, this CPU already has kernel support (http://cm3066.com/) and Mali 400MP already has support I think.

It should be possible to get JellyBean/AOKP and future ported on this with a moderate amount of patience and effort.

Ok, I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of this phone so far (way too much bloatware, and a little laggy, IMO). But the battery life is effing fabulous. 5.5 hours screen on time with nearly 20 hours screen on time. AND THAT IS ON LTE THE ENTIRE TIME -- WIFI WAS NOT USED AT ALL.

Don't ask me why my "mobile network signal" bar has some black gaps on it. I was not in airplane mode at all and as far as I know I had a full LTE connection the entire time the phone was on.

I don't think I've ever seen 5.5 hours screen-on time on LTE on a stock ROM/kernel before, so I'm pretty impressed.

Info: Brightness manually set to ~25%. This was mostly browsing the web and xda, and using messaging. There was a short call and about 30 minutes of GPS navigation. One Gmail account syncing the entire time. Solid black wallpaper. Most of Samsung's gimmicky features disabled, and most of Samsung & AT&T bloat disabled (see my HOLY MOTHER OF BLOATWARE thread for full list).
