[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.

[Q] CM9 official port?

So is the N1 going to get an offical CM9 port or is going to just be an unofficial one?

I've heard rumors saying it will eventually get official CM9. For now, though, use samuaz's CM9 build.

In high hopes that cm9 might be arriving anytime soon for our n1.
Fingers crossed :thumbup:

In the last "CM9 Progress Update" on the cyanogenmod website :
Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan.

Best ROM for PDroid? With close-to-stock experience?

Hi folks,
what's currently the best ROM to use PDroid on the Nexus 7?
I'd prefer an experience as close to a stock ROM as possible. It seems that 4.2.1 ROMs are out (not supported by the AutoPatcher), and I've tried to patch a few of the 4.2 ROMs floating around and haven't had much success either. Who is currently running PDroid and what ROM did you use as a base?

You haven't had much success because development was dropped a long time ago. It only supports gingerbread.... sorry bud. I loved pdroid too

I should have clarified that I'm using PDroid 2.0, which is under active development for Jelly Bean.
Thanks for the tip regarding OpenSensation. For the time being I now patched a vanilla 4.1.2 AOSP build (4.2.1 is being worked on). Will look at OpenSensation these days.

Well I don't have a Sensation... and OpenSensation for the Nexus seems to be pretty much in beta... not to mention that the OpenSensation developer has been warning people that his server is compromised and that they shouldn't download anything (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35428325&postcount=9591), so I'll be taking my time with this.

Stock Android 4.3 for i9305

Does anyone know anything about android 4.3 for our SIII LTE?
i9300 had android 4.2.2 even though it was a leak and now they have 4.3 but there has been no leak at all for i9305 even though it has better hardware and came later than i9300.

I'm also waiting for it in here, the stock customized 4.3 since I don't want to use the custom roms as it contains bugs. Hope it can be shared here soon.

The stock android 4.3 for i9300 rolls out. I hope for i9305 arrives soon...

Let's hope for it i'm sick of 4.1.2 but i like 4.3 and since 4.2 wasn't launched because it had some minor fixes 4.3 would needed to be launched because it has few major updates.

There are just a few changes. I don't know, but i could live with 4.1.2 if I would'nt use CM at the moment. I'll give stock 4.3 a try but if it's not a faster fw than 4.1.2 is won't use it. I don't like the new settings menu and knox

:laugh:Well 4.3 offers approx. 20 changes in compare to 4.1.2 . The one I like best is the ability to move apps to sd card. Amazing function. Also,multiple lock screen pages with widgets on the lock screen,is also amazing feature.
Camera has been improved. Settings menu contains tabs...I truly like the 4.3
But,honestly 4.1.2 has been very very good. :good:

Looking forward to the 4.3 update but even more so Kit Kat

If you want stock android try CyanogenMod 10.1 (4.2.2) is rock solid. As are the nightlies for 10.2 (4.3).
Much better than Samsung's bloated iteration of android imo.
Also they sold way more i9300s compared to i9305??

CM10.X roms are solid, but not as solid as Stock roms. Even if they're stable they still have bugs, lack fearures and some things won't work properly, like Camera quality, which I find much much better on stock roms, specially the video recording quality, and overall sound and battery experience is better on stock roms.
If only AOSP roms could work on our devices the way they do on Nexus devices... blame Samsung for that...

I so much agree with @KillEmAllx as I also prefer a customized stock rom over custom rom as despite of custom roms having plenty of features and improvements still the countable bugs are those more usable one like camera. Hoping for i9305 in the near soon.

in my opinion,Android is born for rooting,for flashing and for customize roms,especially here with so many geeks.compared with all the new features in customize roms,little bugs are totally receptable.

I´ve installed Liquid Smooth 2.37 ( Android 4.3 )
and 4.3 it´s working fine ( almost no bugs and no crashes )
you can give it a try

LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project!!!
No based on stock ROM!

Does anyone know if either EE (Everything Everywhere) UK or Samsung publish an Android update schedule or roadmap for the i9305 ? If so could you please post a link?
I don't want to root if 4.3 is in the pipeline.

Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for GT i9305

Hello,
I just recently rooted my Samsung GT i9305 and completed a nandroid backup on CWM. I was wondering if I could still use the Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for Samsung GT i9305. I've tried flashing it and gave me Installation Error 7, which basically means that CWM checked the rom and wasn't the right rom for GT i9305. Is there a fix for the Error 7 or should I just get another ROM instead? Any Android L look alternatives? Hazy Rom is one but thats for GT i9300 aswell :/

This may sound naive, but why are developers having such a hard time building ROMS for the the LTE International Version of the GS3 when, compared to the i9300 model, is exactly the same (but of course we have more 1GB more RAM).

Yeah I saw pics of PA and I was addicted! But I checked their site and the i9300 was part of their "legacy" program, maintaining Paranoid for i9300 International and US users. Therefore, I doubt they will make one for i9305 since two years is probably the ending time for OS updates, but of course its different for custom ROMS. I still hope that they do develop one though :/ But don't get your hope up.
