[Q] How is 2.3.7?

2.3.7 was out on September 20 -- why nothing about it here? Anyone tried it already?
P.S. I am not happy with my 2.3.4, XXJVP at all. It hangs, com.adroid.phone keeps crashing, phone is not much responsive and it all gets only worse and worse over the time. Now I am thinking, should I look towards 2.3.7 or should I wait until 4.0 comes? However, I guess 4.0 will come to I9000 with a significant delay, right?

Why not try 2.3.5?

Source? Imho 2.3.5 for I9000 is the latest available version - even for the nexus, just 2.3.6 is available...

btw, I didn't say 2.3.7 for I9000. Here is the German article mentioned from German wikipedia about Android:
http://www.appdated.de/2011/09/nexus-s-4g-bekommt-android-2-3-7-update-fur-google-wallet/
Then it comes down to this promo video:

I can't find more details to be honest

CM7 is 2.3.7. coz is build from nexus sources ... and i thing there is nothing extra for i9000 users ... we dont have NFC chip ....

btw, what about "No tethering" bug / feature in this 2.3.7 ?

These updates hardly matter.We already have few ROMs of 2.3.5
Now we want ICS....and our device is very capable of running it

I don't build any illusions regarding Samsung's official releases. They are rather out of scope until Summer 2012 ;-) No joke, SAMSUNG sux big big big time on rolling out updates.
My concern are ROMs that are created by community heros. When'd you expect such?

I agree to some of your point but telling that samsung sucks in update is incorrect.Galaxy S has got updates more frequenty than any other android phone.We already have 2.3.5 leaked stock firmware and in comming days u will some 2.3.6 updates as well.Comming to other brands,take example of htc,they are still on 2.3.4.Motorola donot give more than 1 update to phones and forget about LG(they think that customers must be deprived of updated,so that they can ultimatly sell thier mobile industry)

I think we will have to use CM7 to get a taste of 2.3.7...

OK, and what are your bets about availability date for ICS on I9000 ?
(unofficially of course, there is no much sense to discuss official one)
UPDATE: OK, I'll try CM7 with its 2.3.7 and that's it. It will probably heal my SGS for next months ...or will brick it

After being hesitant for a while ( losing the whole samsung apps/feel ) ive finally made the jump to CM7. I must say its really stable and smooth, its packed with lots of options and tweaks .. so far im simply loving it. I think my search for the best custom ROM is done .
Btw, Cyanogen mod 7.1 is out for the i9000, which is considered as the first "stable" version to run on the i9000.
Also, im pretty sure cyanogen will get us ICS way before Samsung does.

I cannot really bet but after Nexus s recived ICS then it will hardly take 15-30 days for devlopers to port ICS to galaxy s because both nexus s and galaxy s is running same hardware except camera chip.

Well from what I understand, manufacturers are not required to release android updates to devices which are older than 18months. Anyone know the exact launch date of the sgs? So I guess it depends what the age of the sgs is by the time ICS is released. Even if we don't get the official ICS, I'm not so sure whether we will get it through cyanogen due to the sgs ram limitation. From 2.1 to 2.3 the average amount of free ram on the sgs has come down quite a lot, to a point where through average use you can end up in a situation with only 30mb free ram (depending on your rom and kernel and what apps and Widgets you use) after a days use. ICS will obviously have even higher memory demands than gingerbread, so the ICS experience on a sgs if it is provided unnofically by cyangoen may not be very smooth and user friendly.
That's just my opinion though, I'm no expert! And obviously I'd love for us to get ICS on the sgs

The most stable version I experienced till now is XXJPY. I'm using it for more than 2 months with no problem.

I guess the only way I'll ever use the new version will be through a ROM, probably same for many other people in here.

Jelly Bean 4.1 Port

Hi, i have been working on this for a little while, since the Galaxy Nexus ROM was leaked I'm working on this
Many features are not working at this point, I'm using FOP Nightly 5 kernel as a base for the ROM
Not working:
Google Now (working on this)
Camera (will wait until FOP solve it, to update the kernel)
2/3G (same thing as FOP)
Browser (any browser) keep force closing
Play Store partially working (sometimes FC, some times you cant download any app, it's totally random)
it's very slow the ROM
Expandable Notifications are not working (can't figure out why o.o phone reboots when you try to)
Features:
Added power control widgets to notifications
Some CyanogenMod stuff (many of them are not working but appear on menu)
As you can see this isn't even close to stable, I'll post a download link when the ROM is stable enough to get some testers
Some Screenshots:

Seems like the Screenshots cant be shown ._.
here are the screenshots on imageshack

Wow, you should talk to FOP team and see what they have to say about the idea of porting 4.1 to OB. Otherwise, I will stay tuned and it's fun to see that someone started the Jelly Bean train

Awesome work...
But... First ICS, it´s more important in this moment, and make a stable Jelly Bean for our OB is almost impossible
After we(FOP) make a ICS stable i´ll work on jelly bean.

I think we will start working on Jelly Bean after we got a stable version of ICS. Port wont work perfectly now, maybe when CM start working on Jelly bean we can compile it from source and then, just then, we can make an acceptable version.

I think they are too busy with CM9

Will 4.1 be even compatible with OB hardware? Hopefully it is..

I guess it is, on many things it is similar to ICS, except about the fact that it was modified internally to make it more smooth (irony)
anyways, I will continue working on it, but maybe the reason of having so many bugs is that is not compatible

Thats great. Hopefully after ICS is stable, 4.1 will be on the way. Better to have one at a time i think. Great days for our OB!

It´s not easy port roms... especially jelly bean when is not any sources out and devices that have jelly bean have a totally diferent hardware.

If you wait a little bit i'll prove you that this real, just wait until the ROM is a little more stable, with the actual state of the ROM, there is no point of sharing it, it's way too slow and very unstable, with random reboots all of the time and FCs and I dont want other devs touching my ROM
Just be patient

ICS vs Jelly Bean

I have read that JellyBean uses a new kind of engine that keeps the Galaxy Nexus very fast!
So, does this mean, when Jellybean is ported to Galaxy Mini, the phone's performance will increase?
:good:

Jellybean includes "Project Butter", which makes the whole experience, well, butter-smooth.
When ported, it should normally be as smooth on any other phone.

just wait till its ported and u will have your answer

Thank you very much!
And i guess JB will have to use the same drivers that had to be used in ICS.
So, We will have to wait for someone to develop something similar to the OMX drivers..

jelly bean is an improvement in ics with some new features added and it is also true that its framework is also a bit changed but still is 4.1 not 5.0, so not much changes are expected

Galaxy Ace ROMS

I've Samsung Galaxy Ace......running on Android 2.3.4.
and I'm wanting to update it to Android 4.0.4.
I beg all the developers to reply to this thread as soon as possible......
Please suggest me the right ROM for better battery performance and ICS looks......Thanks in Advance!!

First of all this isnt the right placeto post this. Go and post it in ace forums. That is all i have to say
Sent from Hell!!

1.) there will never be an Official update to 404 or 411
2.) unofficial CM9 and CM10 are on its way, but are still extremely unstable and/or buggy. so if you NEED (and i mean really need, not playing around) your phone i do not recommend those to you. if you dont really need your phone (business, etc) and want to have the latest 411 rom, you are free to try them, but beware of some bugs (cam/video, video/youtube, sometimes random reboots and no mobile internet,.....)

Go to SGA Android Development section and look for it.There are a lot of roms which are ICS themed...
Insert witty sentence here

I have updated my galaxy ace to android 4.04 through cynomodgen9 but after updation i have prob in playing videos and camera too doesnot work properly,Is there any way to get rid off these problems? In this rom there is no Radio,so is there any app that can be install to full the exact replacement of my previous rom Radio

for now its better if you stick to cm7 based roms... these are stable and almost bug free.. however if you choose cm9 or cm10 you'll have to face daily troubles.. i've tried almost 10 cm9/cm10 based roms but switched back to cm7 as cm9/cm10 are very buggy + unstable !!
press thanks if i helped !!!

Keep calm and wait because our fellow developers are working for us totally free spending their spare time. Not even Samsung, that we've paied, is working to bring us a brand new version of Android. I hope like you to run a CM 9/10/whatever fully working rom as soon as possible but annoying them will not make things going faster.

[Q] GB, ICS, or JB?

I just got a Galaxy S and am surprised to see so many JB roms available.
I would probably switch over to this phone from my Xperia S, just to use Voodoo Sound
My question is, is JB roms currently stable enough compared to ICS or GB?
Please provide feedback only if you've tried all three versions before :silly:

Yes jb is good i have tried most roms and i blv super nexus rom is very good .. But u cant customize it.. Try it your self ...

Dear,
I am developing only the FlymeOS for i9000 at now ; soon i will developing a Custom Rom with 4.0.4 base...
You can really forget JB Roms , the one good JB for i9000 is only 4.1.2 ; you can forget JB 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
They are quite fast at beginning , but you will notice how lazy they are going to be ..
I highly recommend ICS roms , because they are really fast and they haven't bugs.
There are some apps that are only avalible for Android 4.0+ (like Nova Launcher) , and so I really can't see that ICS is outdated.
Thats why i only develop and port roms for ICS on i9000 device.

Yup, agreed here. Don't get us (or at least me) wrong, 4.2.2 is fantastic. But ICS is rock stable in just about eery aspect and 4.1.2 is pretty damn good as well if you still want to consider Jelly Bean.
Although @UnlimitedRom, you have to admit Google Now is pretty neat
A lot of JB apks can be pushed manually or installed normally on ICS roms anyway.. Just that ICs roms in general are less customiseable than JB roms.
By the way, FlymeOS is looking goooood

Yeah, when google released 4.2 I don't really see the point of it except for some nicer animations or not so important functions.
I was shocked at the sheer number of JB roms for this phone at first because on my previous experiences, JB don't work really well on single core phones
I'd give JB a try first and if it's really bad I would try out the rom of yours, it looks great

Hey, you never know, rumours are flaoting around that 5.0 is going to be optimised for devices with a 1Ghz processor and 512MB of rom( (one or the other or both). So you never know, 5.0 might really bring the S back to life
But yeah, 4.0.4 is a really good base for the I9000. Smooth, stable but not too taxing for the processor at all (not to mention some pretty good battery life, daaaaaaamn)

Yeah, agreed. The JB roms optimised for gaming work decently- although that's HEAVILY optimised and debloated to give as quick an experience as possible. But it's an OS optimised mostly for dual cores and above. There are very few single-core devices- if at all- that run 4.1 officially, and for pretty damn good reason. Only one I can think of is the Nexus S (Nexus version of the Galaxy S, bearing in mind), and even then 4.2 was dropped for that device. So while its still possible to have Jelly Bean fully functional, at the end of the day...
