1. Its Not the question of "better". Its Android vs iOS. Android wins in my Eyes.

2. Wait for the off. 2.2 ROM from Samsung. JM8 and Voodoo is for me now the Best. Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNEunD2Fsrg

3. Install what you Need. But AppBrain is a cool APP for App-Management.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonghj:
The phone is great.

Someren me ik minor tweaks are myserver rcommendation:

-OneclickLagfix

-Apps2nand

Then your phone is and stays

the fastest handheld around.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the "Froyo" is beta, it's not official, of course it's buggy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] smashmouth:
I have the SGS Vibrant and I getta tell ya, it's an amazing phone..

You can start with RyanZa's one click app from the Market "I like AppBrain also"

the One click app has been updated and will give you Root and Lagfix. Just follow the one click directions... Once done, the phone is super fast..

Once you get up to date on the specs of the SGS and really read up on the "How To's" listed here at XDA, you can then start modding your phone for a more personal feel.

Currently I'm running a deodexed rom with an OCv4 1.2Ghz kernel update.

Their are lots of metamorph mod's to choose from and lots of rom's to fit your own personal pallet..

Good Luck and enjoy... and welcome to Android !!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
+1 for JM8 + voodoo and i tried about all firmwares so far.

It's the best if you want it stable and speedy.

For the apps that's mostly what I use:

xda app, engaget app (yeh lol)

fring, skype beta, msn talk (messengers)

google sky

tasker (i dont like it so much but i didnt find better for automation and app lock)

rockplayer (plays everything)

es file explorer (root file explorer, but also supports ftp/smb)

newsrob (rss)

k9 mail (supports imap push a must)

irssi conn (a must for ssh)

gameboid

adfree

Glyder 2 (game)

ping chat (like whatsapp but free)

SIP droid

lastfm

ringtone (makes your own ring tones easily from various sound sources)

titanium backup (if you switch roms around a lot especially)

have fun ;)

Thank you for all your replies,i wanted to get the HTC but as you say it has a boring display compared to SGS :)

Ok so i downloaded 1000+ apps and there all waiting on my pc :)

I was wondering could anyone provide me with some links to apps that speed SGS up a bit so that i can transfer them from my pc to SGS and install or just tell me wich ones are the best to use on android 2.1?

Thank you again in advance

what do you recomend to use to speed up the phone then?

EDIT:im going to try out OCLF 1.6.7 to speed it up a bit because i dont want to flash my rom just jet im waiting for the official swisscom update to froyo
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Maybe i am a little naive but I have only just noticed that not only do Google names their firmware for Android after delicious sounding pastries, BUT they also do it in alphabetical order too!

Untitled initial release - 1.1 (lame/lazy effort by Google!)

Cupcake - 1.5

Donut - 1.6

Eclair - 2.0/2.1

Froyo - 2.2

Gingerbread - 3.0

Honeycomb - 3.1/3.2 ?

Ii was trying to figure out what dessert started with an I and couldnt come up with a good one :/

Ice Cream maybe? xD
[Desire General] tolis626:
If that's the case it probably started with Biscuit and will go to Ice Cream after Honeycomb! :p
[Desire General] AndroHero:
have you only just noticed this :confused: back in the days of cupcake and donut we use to have threads deadacted to guessing what pasty google would use next lol
[Desire General] tincmulc:
Also ubuntu distributions do this to.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Ice Cream seems too odd in the pattern to me...

all the releases have been a single word - and also Ice Cream is probably too similar to FroYo to come in line... although I can't think of anything else :)

Also they'll probably change the name anyway if people guess it too early! :)

wow I never eaven realized this! haha, good to know this now :D cheers :)

What was the "A" foodwise? Not apple surely

or if ice cream is an option then angel delight ?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaBu72:
Hi,

I had the following problem with my HTC Diamond 2 (it might have got wet & it might possibly have had too much pressure on the screen)

Problem:

The mobile boots ok and the normal buttons at the bottom work fine, as do the volume up/down buttons. The display, however, has what looks like the newton rings and when I press the display it detects a 'press' about 1cm to the left of where i pressed. This means I can't use the right hand side of the display and also can't enter my pin.

Error Diagnosis: (from Arvato Services in Germany)

Mainboard is defect. Cost to repair = € 303.17

Is this possible ? If there was a problem with the mainboard then I would expect to see other problems - and at present, I can only see that the touchscreen has a problem.

Please let me know what you think, thanks in advance !

(ps there should be a question mark at the end of the 'title', don't seem to be able to edit though)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Based on your description and from what I've read, it's definitely the digitizer.

It is possible that you have a damaged board, but regardless, your digitizer is bad.

I would attempt to replace this yourrself then see if everything is fine before sending it to repair.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] GMTOUCH:
I had the same problem! :mad:

The screen was getting worse in alignment over a time frame of a couple of days. If replaced the digitizer and screen and all is back to normal ..... however it seems to work better then ever before.

The only problem left is dust between the digitizer and my screen, but this is my own fault since I didn't glued the screens. I'll re-open in the next few days and use some silicone to close the gaps. Mainly the volume key has an opening to the outside.

Good luck with the replacement!

Thanks jonasl for this great work for HTC_IME!

However I was looking for HTC_CIME to work on froyo but couldn't find it, so I took some some spare time and modified the HTC_CIME from Hero 2.1

I have tested on froydvillain 1.5.0 and another device with eclair and it works.

And also, the settings for changing input method does not since it requires HtcAlertDialog Builder, I will look more into this another time.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chanbob:
some background. My wife and I both bought Slides. Shortly after getting them she had someone she works with root hers. Everything worked great, I liked the way it ran and the lack of bloat ware so I had him root mine. Well after rooting mine I noticed that swype doesnt work anymore and flash(Website Flash) doesnt work anymore either. Now he doesn't want to help or return our messages and I am lost as to what to do.

I am not sure much about how he rooted it or what he did. I do know I get a cynogen screen when i turn on the phone and the rom is up to date.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miharkula:
Do you know what rom he installed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
This is exactly the reason that you shouldn't have someone root your phone unless you know what you're doing to do it yourself.

Best thing for you to do is to flash the 1.35.531 OTA update, which will remove root from your device and return you to the latest stock mytouch slide firmware. But honestly if you don't know anything about rooting or its benefits, OR ITS RISKS, then you shouldn't have anyone do it for you cus it makes you and your device a liability to this community. Everytime you have the slightest problem you're gonna be back here at the forum looking for someone to hold your hand cus you have no clue what you're messing with.

So I recommend you unroot your device until such time when you are able to fully understand the risks and capabilities of root. Go back to stock, then spend a lot of time here learning about root and what you might be able to use it for. For starters, ROOT IS NOT INTENDED FOR END USERS. If it was, EVERY phone would already be rooted when you get it. But its not. Its intended for ADVANCED users as a sort of "service entrance" to your device. This allows tech support guys (and gals) to do things that you shouldn't HAVE to worry about as an END USER; or, (my definition) a person, owning and using a device, with MINIMAL knowledge of the inner workings of said device. Its just like with windows....ANY IDIOT can get on windows and check their email. It requires almost NO knowledge to operate. Just the same, these phones are made so that any idiot can operate them with a bit of practice, but the critical parts of the system, where an IDIOT could really wreak some havoc, is(are) sealed off to most end users, to make sure they don't mess **** up. ROOT unseals all that so that you CAN really mess stuff up. And that's what will happen if you mess with stuff without a clue what you're doing.

Its in YOUR best interest to go back to stock. For now, anyway. Don't just accept your current level of know-how...LEARN HOW. When I got my G1 when they first came out, I knew NOTHING about programming or any kind of code, or any of that. But I have spent A LOT of time learning it all, and I'm still learning stuff all the time, and now I create my own themes, I patch code to make things work the way I want it to work, I fix all my own screw-ups without asking for help, and I'm damn proud of it. And you will be too, when you root your device all by yourself and don't NEED some non-replying jerkoff to do it for you...please take my advice, you'll be glad you did. Play it safe until you know what's safe and what isn't.

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chanbob:
This doesn't help in anyway!!

I am not looking for someone to hold my hand. I am wanting to learn how to fix what someone screwed up. I am pretty sure during all the time you spent learning all the things you know with root you asked a question or two.

Back to the topic at hand. Is this something that can be fixed? Like I said I am not 100% sure what rom I have, pretty sure it is cynogen though.

The reason I want it rooted is because the stock slide sucks, I don't like all the crap that came preloaded. I like how the phone is rooted, I just don't like the things that are not working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel60104:
I'm pretty sure you'll learn the how's afterwards since you're going to be reading and absorbing info from this forum :D

But for now... fixing the issues at hand.

The problem on adobe flash is actually something not exactly fixable... the flash 10 is just not for our device (correct me if I'm wrong x_x) and so the current cm6 is just unable to use flash... =/

As for swype... I actually asked the same question when I flashed cm6 rom. The thread is in the Q&A subforum titled [Q]Swype on CM6? or something like that. There will be links to dl swype. Have fun =)

Hope this helps lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
Well the problems you describe are bugs with the rom you are using and they will be the same for MOST roms since they're all based off cyanogens work. You SAY you wanna learn how to fix what someone screwed up but nobody screwed anything up, you just don't know what you're doing. If you want to fix problems that are specific to a certain rom, you need to look in your "about phone" section in settings and figure out what rom you are running.

THEN, go to the thread of the rom you are running. DON'T POST a question about swype or flash or keyboard lights there...the questions have already been asked and if there is a fix for your issue it will already be posted there somewhere.

And for your information, I used to ask questions all the time, that's PART of how ppl learn...but I NEVER in my time with android, have let anyone DO SOMETHING FOR ME. And that's all you seem to want, somone to root your phone for you, someone to tell you the answer so you don't have to waste time reading or searching for the answer...you don't even know what rom you're on, am I supposed to tell you THAT, too? You've displayed no desire to help yourself and the only ppl that get help around here are ppl that are willing to help themselves.

Its NO ONE'S job to man these fora to help ppl...anyone that helps anyone do anything here, they do it out of either the kindness of their own heart, or sheer boredom. Either way no one is OBLIGATED to help you, especially when the fixes for the bugs you describe have already been posted, and instead of searching for the answers you start a new thread, asking an old question, in the WRONG SECTION. There is a section marked Q&A which is SPECIFICALLY for asking and answering questions.

And if you hadn't noticed, I'm about the only person even paying any attention to your plight so don't be too quick to shun my advice. I will help you learn how to do things, ill help you figure things out if you get stuck, but I'm not gonna give you the answers or do it for you.

Go find out what rom you're running. Then look up the rom and search the thread for the bugs you're experiencing. If there are fixes for the bugs they'll be there.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] encrypti0n:
If you didn't want anyone to hold you hand. why post asking for help? BMFC's post is actually what you should do. Also your phone isn't just rooted, its running a custom software. and as with any custom software its should be obvious that stuff you had from stock just isnt going to be there. (flash lite and stock swype.) Also THIS POST IS IN THE WRONG SECTION.

Your problem isn't really a problem at all. you are running cyan0gen mod 6. That being said since it is a 3rd party android build due to copyright laws, cyan0gen cant add a lot of the things you liked from your stock build. Like BMFC said rooting isn't for end users, you can really mess stuff up when you have root access and not know anything, My first android phone is the mytouch 3G Slide so I don't know as much as others but I do have a Linux background so as to knowing about root I am aware that it is something for more advanced users, and everything I learned I read in the stickies and through trial and error. Asking for help is fine no wrong doing in that but you have to understand that unless you have some idea as to what you are doing you shouldn't dive into rooting your phone. I didn't root my phone until after the first few ROMs were out. I read up on rooting and what benefits it could give me, also in my reading you come to understand what happens when you flash a custom ROM, and when I did it wasn't easy(it was a pain) but it got done. and yes I ran into some problems. but there was already answers for them in the stickies. My advice to you is the same as BMFC's advice and go to Chiefz' Stock OTA 1.35 ROM and you will back at stock with flash lite and you beloved swype, because apart from that you can only get swype on CM6 and thats if you download it through a third party, stay on that ROM until you learn a little more about how android works, getting and setting up the sdk, and getting comfortable enough with adb and what needs to be done with root, go ahead and root it YOURSELF. I wont link you to swype,learn to use the search button, and learn to lurk this forum.
