Why all the ICS for Samsung galaxy s i9000 don't wanna to be together if really together will be perfect phone and is the best for the best??
send by DickyLikeToCrazyOnPhone
When I heard that the first ics rom was being ported I was so excited, with all the new features, the user interface, I said finally were all going to look alike "One OS to rule them all" all android phones I mean, sadly every company had gone their separate way to make it theirs and that wasn't the intended, what I want to see is the stability of the iOS, plus the customized powers of the Android, let's just hope huh
BTW I am not saying it should be like the iOS, ui wise but battery, performance, and unity between devices, that's all

Personally I think ICS is overrated for I9000 at least...
Samsung should just implement TW4 to I9000 which has all those features without need of any extra hardware...
TW4 has all those capabilities such as MTP without need for phone to be locked etc.
why ICS
why ICS? Because it's better than Gingerbread simply.
couldnot send mms with darky rom (provider: fonic, germany). with team hacksungs build 14 it works.
ics is looking nice and i dont miss anything.
because I don't need Arabic/Persian/RTL fix. (ICS support RTL languages already)
ICS is faster than GB
No battery drain any more!
I feel really more stable in ICS (It's beta version and what's gone be Stable version, will be realy ROCK)
hey Samsung lock at me [LOL] I'm on ICS and this hard-wares working perfectly.
Thanks to teamhacksung/

Agree 100% GGB has been terrible with every version.
What we're really looking for in ICS is hardware acceleration and general speed increase. I ultimately don't think samsung will be able to add an option "Force 2D acceleration" onto gingerbread.

agreed, Froyo 2 versions (2.2.1) before being fast, stable and efficient. It took 6 Gingerbread versions (2.3.5) for android to not be a battery/resource hog, fast, stable and efficient.
Once I tried ICS, I don't want to be back to Gingerbread again, even if it means non official ROM's/some bugs. Pro's are more than con's

ICS is very good but there are still bugs and some instability. If the developers fix them ICS will be very good for SGS
Yes definitely I can't wait... Literally I look at the forums every hour if not more often than that, I have a evo3d and I want the update already but I want it senseless I think for now maybe HTC makes ics with sense better who knows

It's more aesthetically pleasing. :>
ICS has fast performing... battery life is fab.. I had GB and CM and today i use ICS.. And once u have ics u dont come back for sure... its like u have a new phone once u flash ics.. it really works amazing...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why?
Because it runs smoother, battery lasts longer, default font looks better, GMail client is better, uses less RAM than stock GB roms...
I'm on ICSSGS RC3.1 and it is already very stable for day to day use... I'm gonna use it until ICSSGS final is released and than flash it and wait for Jellybean
ICS is more refined. GB settings menu went on forever.
Flashed ICS on my SGS1 and never ever wanna go back to GB again, it's a better phone. Yea, there are still issues and bugs, but I'll live with them.
Can't wait for the official ICS for SGS2.
You guys are missing the point
I think you guys are misinterpreting OP's post. It sounds like he's asking why are there so many different versions of ICS rom.
Well for starters, you have the AOSP ICS rom, which is compiled from the ICS source code from Google. Then you have CM9 alpha, which is compiled from...well, cyanogen mod codes, which is a modified version of the ICS source code. Most if not all other ICS roms are based on the previous two roms with slightly different tweaks, kernels, etc.
P.S. For someone who came from Singapore, OP your English is just terrible. A quarter my family's in Singapore, so I can spend a good chunk of my time there.
What are these bugs I keep hearing about with ICS and CM? I'm currently trying to find a build of rom that doesn't have any issues, though through my vast searches and trials of roms I find there are bugs on most if not all the roms currently availible including the gingerbread roms, so i guess it's a case of whcich bugs can you live with..
Well, I'm an x8 user, I'm gonna change the phone in some months and wanna ask if i really should buy this device
I know too much about roms cuz well I'm developing one
I wanna ask you guys, should i use it in stock and then wait for official ics or stock roms suck?
Does this phone really need all the stuff to work smooth? I mean custom kernel, rom etc because well its dualcore phone and looks that in some post i read, my phone works better
Thanks

It's an awesome phone with cm7
well the stock rom it's not the best out there obviously... blatware apps, poor kernel make it a bad choice if you have alternatives.
for me, the best one is CM7, even better with a custom kernel like the Etana one. lots of tweaks and optimizations if you know what i mean

But an official update to ics wont be enough? cuz i guess LG will fix lots of things in ics

Hi leroy.
I will give you my personal unbiased opinion about it.
I bought the phone and it came with stock froyo (android 2.2). And I thought it was fine. I could play games with no problems at all. Didn't experience any of the problems that lots of people were complaining about (SoD, bad battery life, etc). I "test-drove" it for three weeks more or less, just to make sure everything was working fine, and it was.
And then I flashed temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel. And I do not regret it one bit. The phone is smoother, more responsive, and battery life is better by at least 25%. Unfortunately I did not do a quadrant benchmark before flashing, so I don't have a before and after comparison, but the phone "feels" much better, no doubts about it.

I tend to believe that what differs from phone to phone is the "bloatware" that carrier dependent phones have installed. I bought an unbranded phone, so I am guessing that is the main reason why I was such a happy customer to begin with, even with stock ROM. A stock unbranded ROM, I might add.

sent from my x8 using TecnoBread
Sorry But i dont know what bloatware mean
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread
My definition of "bloatware" is basically crap software that your carrier (for example vodafone or movistar or whatever) preloads in your branded phone (phone sim locked to your carrier). This software is usually very bad software poorly developed that has memory leakage and drains your battery.
This might be a very biased opinion from me, but usually I like my operating systems to be as clean as possible, only with the software/applications I really need and use. This usually makes for a very fast, responsive and efficient system.

Well, so installing custom rom will replace craping software or just similar unlocking phone?
Also i have hear this is a great phone for developing, but why there's not too much moves as in our threads? Couldn't it be because the phone doesn't need too much developing?
Another question, will official ics fix that or i should upgrade to cm9?

Trust me, the devs for the O2X are awesome. They seriously do great jobs and even create miracles for this device. Just about a month ago, CM9 wasn't available. Many things didn't work, but now thanks to awesome guys like RC and Owain, they made it available to us.
If I were you I wouldn't wait do the official LG release. The GB release was way overdue. LG promised release dates they didn't met and I think this will also happen with ICS. LG said that they would release ICS during the 2nd quarter of this year. I bet that LG won't release it then but probably in 2013 .

I don't know if there is HDMI out or not in CM, because I've never used it while using CM, but it does work fine in MIUI.
And what do you mean by "8 MP is 6 MP"? I thought the resolution just stays the same. Either way, the stock camera app has been ported over to CM7 based roms, and it works just as good as in stock ROM.
Honestly, using MIUI (Wiui to be exact), the experience is alot better, and there is almost no feature sacrificed compared to stock

I only have 1 complain, The battery.
But once you get an extended battery, this phone is perfect.
But once you get an extended battery
What you mean?
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread
There are batteries you can buy with more capacity than the stock battery that comes with the phone.
However, I can easily get two day battery life with the stock battery, so personally I don't understand why so many people complain about their battery life. As far as I know it's about the same as other smart phones.
Okay so looking at the roms usually I'd use cyanogen on a phone but idk if 3d works on it and well no point in a 3d phone with no 3d now I noticed a few stock roms and read someplace the optimus 3d and thrill at the same similar situation to the optimus v and the optimus s can I flash a optimus 3d ROM with no out of the ordinary worries

Well. Frankly that's a question everyone asks at some point. I did it a few times myself. Also why your not getting a flood of replies. There is no correct answer here. The rom you choose should be based on some criteria. My personal criteria is as follows.
1. Battery life: The rom should never suck the battery dry. Keep in mind its dependant in you following the directions on the rom and how you use your phone. I like to see atleast a full day of stock battery life with moderate use.
2. Stability: Tricky to gage. Must follow the Dev's directions to the letter. Test apps in batches and make sure its not the app causing the issue before passing judgment. Also seek help from the Dev.
3. Speed: Not to important as long as it isn't slower than stock and won't mess with #s 1 and 2.
4. Communication : Wifi, bluetooth, and network signal are paramount for me. My thrill replaced my netbook for al my needs. All this must work flawlessly. Keep in mind there is work to be done on your part. Setting APNs and so on. All listed in most Dev's install instructions.
5. Basband: is it comparable with yours? Do you know what you have? Do you know what you need? Read the rom's requirements carefully.
6. Support: as it turns out Dev support can make or break a rom. Roms can be very needy and time consuming. A Dev takes on a huge burden making then offering support for there rom. Its crucial you become involved to help the Dev out so he can spend more time manufacturing awesome for you. If a Dev has ditched a rom understand you venture in to nomans land.
Seeing as we have no clue what your needs are and what you want in a rom. I suggest you pop over in the Development forum and snoop around. Personally The Dark Lestats Kitchen Rom has more than fit me needs. The tutorials he has made taught me everything I needed to know about how to pull the pants of my LG Thrill and have some fun.
Right then thanks sorry I'm not really a noob just having a little trouble getting acclimated a also my requirements are the same but I must have speed and battery is a must

And what about 3d on cyanogen
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
My apologies. I reread that and it did come across assuming you where new lol my bad.
As far as I'm aware most of the Ginger roms have full features ie: 4G and 3D. I did notice that the baseband plays a big part in how your phone interacts between hardware and rom. Just speculation but seems to be the case.
Last Froyo rom I used was the Doomed froyo. Got all the phone features and exceeded my requirements. For ginger rom I did not try cynogen but I went threw 3 others. Lestats Kitchen rom was the only one I could use to meet and exceed my requirements. Its flexible enough you can drop another kernal that is overclocked. I did notice its not the best on V20P baseband (thanks AT&T bleh) . After I loaded the V21D baseband and APNs my phone suddenly had great battery 2 days moderate use, Bluetooth worked stable and I have not had a single ghost call.
I had to try it a few times though. First reload didn't go well cause I didn't follow the directions. After I followed the each "how to" step by step my phone was cured.
In being fare I would note that the issues were fixed after I made the above changes. I haven't tried the previous roms after the change. Thays why I didn't name them. I can't say they work well or not without proper comparison. I would suggest paying attention to the bugs that appear in multiple roms you try. Might just be the baseband and not the rom.
Lestats it the best there are so many options to go with thrill seeker I think was ditched and Acura team is good

Hi I guys, I m new to smartphones, I oredered a 4X! I ve read and seen many issues but its still confusing what to do!
Some say that with JB the 4X is smoother and faster, and some advised to keep it running with ICS, because with JB the phone lags and it takes much more RAM.
I m using this smartphone for everyday, mostly browsing, youtube videos, some apps customizing and some games!
All I want is that it will be smoothest and fastest, without lags.
Battrey Issue is not a big problem for me.
And I want the best from its camera....
Suggestion please? Keep it ICS simple as that or update to JB?
Thanks guys
Use for a short of time ICS and then update to JB.If you dont like it rolla back to ICS.Noone can tell you if JB is BETTER from ICS.But i think that v20a is very good and and not so laggish like some users say.

I agree with the brightness slider in the notification area, it's a vital tool for me.
Other than that, I find JB to have a lot better battery time (I don't suffer baseband wakelocks too much anymore)
Too bad 80 % of the fonts are ugy (Can you add more fonts without any problems, by the way?)

- Camera with good picture and video performance
Preferable:
- Good battery life
- No lags
Doesn't matter:
