[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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DsaJMhcLm_A#!
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.

[ROM] DUAL Roms (GR-5+MIUI-1.12.9 & GR-5+CM-204 both by ChinaGB) at Modaco

Found a great ROM totally based on a new concept of DUAL ROM. Both GR5 by Paul & MIUI12.2 bundled together by "ChinaGB". I have flashed this ROM today and its working well since last few hours. If interested you may try the ROM at link below. Screenshots also available there at Modaco.
http://android.modaco.com/topic/349332-gr5miui1202-double-system/
All credit goes to ChinaGB for bundling the ROMs. Thanks to him. I have only posted the link as the concept is great to me.
11.12.2011: Subsequently another DUAL ROM developed by ChinaGB again with GR5+CM-204. Link attached. Downloading. Will flash in free time.

great going.
Thanks to ChinaGB for the ROMs & S.don for providing the link.
Edit: Actually both the ROMs are bundled by ChinaGb. S.Don only provided the link like me.

any tutorial? or any specific flashing procedure? wipes? can you guide please? As i read the Modaco thread, there are some functions not working...what are those?
Thanks Partha...

No special tutorial needed. FULL WIPE needed, i.e., wipe data, cache, dalvik. Run CONVERT TO EXT3 by Paul and lastly flash. ROM will boot into GR5. Dont skip initial android screen. RONs can be changed by tapping dedicated icons. Lastly till now I have not found anuthing not working. Using MIUI at present. Only thing is battery seems to be draining faster than Topo's ROM & SPICA kernel. But nothing wrong in trying its an unique experience. Apps installed in one ROM shows up in other.

Partha, Thanks for the information. But, what about the free RAM? HD Video, BT, Wifi, 3G mobile data, etc?
How long is the battery after a charge?
BTW, I just downloaded tht...waiting for your answer....
Thanks once again

how will you install the available tweaks in each type of the rom? it will surely get into bootloop, afaik..

BT wifi working. 3g i cannot check. RAM is more than 100mb and UI is fluid. I have mostly used the MIUI part but I think v20l will also be stable. Battery is one point which I am still testing.
Regarding tweaks as pointed out by Helldroid nothing can be done. Both the ROM uses different kernels. MIUI uses swiftextreme and v20l uses probably default with tweaks like support for voodoo. RIL is also different for both ROMs and only customisation i have done is flashed RIL in MIUI part.
Thanks

I haven't calibrated my battery. You try and advise us if successful. I think try the MIUI side first because MIUI seems to be draining faster than v20l. BTW you can download ONLY 1.2MB updater in the Modaco site and flash it (I flashed it after wiping Cache/dalvik cache) to update your MIUI version to latest 12.9. Very Simple. I Liked the way of updating. BTW while flashng the update I first booted to MIUI ROM and then booted to CWM from MIUI ROM so that after flashing it boots to MIUI. Don't know if flashing from the v20L side would do any harm but I thought it safer to go by MIUI side since its a MIUI update.

I have applied the fr version changes to the rom for miui part so i think i wont be able to update the ota method . but i will try...
anyway there's currently a fr version being cooked with a customized miui
regards

does anyone know how to change gr5 to cm7 in this rom and if it is possible?

[Q] What mod?

The Galaxy Note is my first Android device, after enjoying a couple of years with the absolute freedom of Maemo. It was a sad day when Nokia decided to ditch MeeGo, and go for Windows Mobile. And a couple of months ago my dearest N900 decided to call it a day.
Now I think I had enough of the Stock installation from Samsung (after flashing the German Stock ICS).
Yesterday I flashed Criskelo, and it was an OK experience, but not quite what I was looking for.
My wishlist for a ROM:
1. SNote, SPlanner and the E-Mail app from stock.
2. Focus on speed and battery.
3. As minimalistic as possible (Drop all the eye-candy)
Now for the question: Which MOD is matching my criterias, or atleast as close as possible?
And yes, I have read page up and page down in the Dev-section, but a lot of the ROM's have a content-list which is very incomplete. So I'm asking you, who have been using mods for some time, and perhaps have been trying a lot of them.
And in light of the possible LPY-bug, which might have caused a couple of hardbricks (Or was it just 1 hardbrick?), I rather not flash through all of the mods.

Hi
Ok, im not recommending this rom just because im using it. I have tried all kinda roms around and finally im using Darky Rom for like few months now and it works great.
For galaxy note current stable rom is :
Build : DarkyROM_Note v 3.4.1 Extreme Edition
Kernel : NoteCore 0.1
but the only thing is it runs n android 2.3.6. ICS rom is still under development. Their kernal is in-house developed and most of the thunderbolt scripts removed. Battery life is way too great. 24hrs connected 2G network and my battery lasts 1day 6hrs+
give it a try. u wont regret..

The positive thing is that LG is almost running out of letters for their V20 GB releases, now only u v w x y z. Almost V30....ICS? (froyo was V10x)

When the letters inevitably runs out it may be the start of the symbols era::laugh::laugh:

For ICS i have the feeling that lg may copy from CM and use v40 instead of v30 (it's only my opinion)...
Returning on topic, some people suggested (Hope dies last) that may be the a preparation for the big ics jump... But i'm very skeptical about it...
(i know that my english is sh*t)

I think ICS for o2x is still far coz they would not still work on GB (v20t?) if they were to release ICS soon

still they are releasing gb 2.3.4 at least they should have to update their version from 2.3,4 to 2.3.7

Hm, why should they have done it? Only to have the latest 2.3 Android version, or is there a solid reason why you're asking that?
2.3.3 brought us dual core improvements, 2.3.4 the improved Gtalk (voice + video calling).
2.3.5 to 2.3.7 are mainly updates/bugfixes for the Nexus S (and AOSP apps like camera). There's no real need in adapting these - and as there's always the possibility to break other things by a version bump I can understand the decision to stay on 2.3.4.

No they have to make GB perfect which almost is before going to ICS otherwise ppl will complain neither stable gb they've to use nor stable ICS, as early ICS build are supposed to have bugs
And after making gb perfect they will merge their latest gb changes directly to ics so less work for them

If LG wants to perfect GB for releasing an update to ICS, we can wait an extremely long time...sometime around 2250...

They also can start this way v21a,v21b...
So we can keep GB 4ever

Why block ? whats wrong with this ? This is LG tool to check firmware by IMEI model

Mm Okey, but i didnt trusted it becouse the website wasn't verified and he is asking for imei, was thinking of phishing site.

Its not fishing http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/ this site belongs to LG Electronics, they host they're firmware here

Because LG have problems with servers. Nothing more. I checked it.

There is V10K added on 18.04, I think they found some serious flow in JB, so they removed the update. Hope they will fix it soon....

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean when you say "they found some serious flow in JB". You mean the ROM has bugs? Or there is so many downloads and the server collapsed
Enviado desde mi LG-P700 usando Tapatalk 2

I dont have exact information, but logicaly server is not colapsed, as You have 10K for download, if there were some minor bug, they would fix it, and release 20B, so I gues there is some more serious thing. I am on 20A and it is working fine, I like the new camera, only two problems are: bigger battery drain (about 30% vs ICS) and often very slow gps position lock.

Most interesting is that the statistics software downloads V20B grown and you can't download it...

The only JB firmware available to download is v20a DEU/GERMANY added 19.4

This situation is strange. The latest version of the software in LGMobile Support Tool is ICS V10K... However, this is not the servers...

I have a problem with official JB. After 2 days of using it normally, apps start crashing, alarm doesnt work ( because of that i was late 3 times for my classes at college ) and i have to restart the phone to get back to normal. So maybe that is the problem with JB

any update when will be the jb v20B will be back ?
