Gingerbread preview by LG Italy

[work in progress version]

this is already in other posts

Seems exactly the same as froyo, same speed at menu changes ect look exactly the same, will probly just stick with stock froyo if thats the case.

Stupid LG didn't even updated the kernel...

They still have the same kernel because they are waiting for some thing from nvidia. (That is what I understood)

Updating the kernel doesnt do ****, how about a cup of 'inform yourself'.
They have most likely fixed the old one, which is enough.

Original Gingerbread has a newer kernel so that should be better, why would google implement it then?

Vista is newer than windows XP, so it should be better according to your logic.
New doesnt mean good. The kernel isnt that bad, just bugged. My guess is they're just going to fix the old one, which isnt a bad thing.

I dont follow your logic, so you mean its better for LG to make som arbitrary bugfixing on the faulty kernel than using a newer one, which of course has a few bugs killed by nvidia themselves.
Honeycomb does not use this old kernel despite its working, why is that?

Definitivelly they solved that instalations freezig problem I am really looking forward to that ROM

Battery color is really ugly with the rest in gingerbread green...

Yea, you clearly don't follow my logic or else you wouldnt have anwered that question.
Because honeycomb is something completely different with entire new features and hardware supports.
GB is just an upgraded version of froyo, hence you wont need a completely newly coded kernel.
You guys need to get into coding before you open your silly mouth.

You don't need it, but it IS better. Vista isn't better then XP. Not the kernel but defenitely also NOT the whole OS. But I guess we have to agree that Gingerbread is better then froyo right? Then why would google implement a new kernel? Because it's better and adds a few more features. And if LG doesn't, I don't like that.
I agree that it's not necessary but in my opinion it is a bit stupid.

And 2.6.36 IS totally new kernel???? NO!! Holy ****, nVidia released new VERSION of android/linux kernel for Tegra2 with some improvements (which can be used in GB), but STUPID LG continues bugfixing old one.... great example of stupidity!
And you are defending LG... Are you on of LG stupid managers leading LG SW development?

I just hope they will bring Icecream Sandwich to the O2X!
Off Topic:
Vista has always been better than XP.
Have had Vista professional x64 from the beginning and it was way better and stable from the beginning. I don't get the whole Vista bashing thing.
Probably because it was a bit different and people didn't want to learn something new.
Windows 7 x64 is far better then Vista of course but I recently had the opportunity to use a win XP PC again and I was shocked how antique and dull this OS is.
(All of the Microsoft Operating Systems together are quite ok and I'd still take a proper Linux distro over all of them when it comes to working with a PC. But for a mix of work, media and gaming Win7 is the way to go.)

I'm no LG fan boy. I wont sit here and defend them for there choice of kernel. If they pick a new one they probably have reasons for that. If they keep the old one its because they thing that it wont make any big difference with a new one. But what does the Linux kernel get each update??? Hopefully some people here like my self might be Linux users on desktops to and there for be able to answer that question. But for you them that might not know. Its drivers updates and compatibility with new hardware. Does the O2X have some thing that's shining new inside? Not any more. The kernel that they are using now in 10D does have support for all the current hardware inside the O2X and from that point of view no reason to update it.
PS: I'm a arch user and always love to have the "latest" but I'm afraid that even if they pick the last one by Nvida it wont change as much as people here thinks.

Vista is a load of bull****, and far from being stable from the beginning, what are you talking about?
Wanna know something funny? Win 7 is heavily built on the Vista kernel, they just updated it. Bam.
And we're still able to get the newest updates.
My point is -> Just because something was ****ty, doesnt mean you cant improve it.
You guys are just crying for no reason, an old kernel doesnt mean something bad.

Kernel is a important thing too. Gingerbread was specially made on .36 kernel. Upgraded kernel adds many new features regarding sched, io operation and overall performance if specific hardware driver is well written

But that is the problem, without .36 kernel we can't use everything form GB, because some things need .36 kernel... This (.32 kernel + GB) will be only new problem-making "solution" from LG.....but that their way of doing things... my girlfriend also wanted 2x as I have... no no dear LG....I bought her Galaxy S2... and why? YES WE all know... so dear LG, continue in making this **** and loose all your customers....

what are those things that need the new kernel?

Android 4.1

Google is expected by some to announce Android 4.1 Jellybean next week along with their Nexus 7 tablet. Besides chrome integration and a new search widget, what do you guys think will be included with this update?
Since its coded 4.1 and not 5, i expect Android ICS devices will be updated to 4.1 as it is pretty soon to updgrade hardware requirements as 1gb is pretty muh still the standard adn most ICS devices have this amount of RAM. This said, do you guys think any developers will begin porting 4.1 to our devices, even with the hardware codecs and other issues still being prevelant? Would you guys really want it like this, half built?
If this update is good, would this persuade you to upgrade to the droid4, as it will have a higher probability of having a completely working port? since it has ICS now leaked and working, and still a high end phone, when not compared to the SIII atleast.

I think our device runs fine on Gingerbread still...
It would be nice for a port but the little development we have now is already stable with gingerbread.

It was leaked that the GNex will be getting 4.1. As for us running it... I would bet large sums of money against it working right.
From RootzWiki: Galaxy Nexus to get Jellybean 4.1
Screenshot proof:
http://rootzwiki.com/uploads/monthly_06_2012/ccs-808-0-41169000-1340388367_thumb.jpg
Although this is the GSM versions pictured, it won't be tough to build it from source for the CDMA GNex before it's pushed.

4.0.3 to 4.0.4 was pushed to most if not all custom ICS roms. I don't see why 4.1 would not follow, unless there are MAJOR changes which from what I've read there really aren't. I would expect Gummy and AOKP to bring it to their roms in the near future.
However I highly doubt it will change how we stand with our current issues and most likely may cause some new ones.

Ehhh gingerbread runs ok on our phones in my opinion, ics was ALOT faster for me. Im using elcipse right now and its fast but my benchmakrs with ics were much higher, os ran smoother too.
That is a good point by the poster above, so that is high hopes of seeing a port even though I know it wont bring any more features than we already have, except the minor changes to the OS. It will be fun to test though. In around 12 hours we will have better knowledgge of what Jwlly Bean has to offer

I'm sorry but what's the point in upgrading if we won't have a proper ICS on D3 anyway?

I'm working on a kexec based bootloader bypass on droid3. It's coming along and the kernel say half boots. Once it is going I think jellybean is a real possibility. Probably will just skip ICS all togeather.

Oh really
So if you were able to get custom kernels working does that mean you could use something like a modded Bionic ICS kernel (since its very similar hardware) or would a kernel have to be made from scratch.

The Nexus S is getting an official Jellybean update, and it only has 512MB of memory, just like the Droid3.
I read that memory limitations are what prevented devices like the NexS and the Droid3 from getting properly updated to ICS. I also read that Jellybean probably has looser system requirements than ICS, due to optimizations.
I do hope we can get JellyBean, either officially or otherwise. I'd love to have Google Now and I'm only halfway through my two-year contract.

Correct. Also he has said that we will be able to get Jellybean. I would imagine with all he has learned this year, he can probably get it fully running now. Hwcodecs may be the showstopper though...again. In theory a workaround may be available since we have a custom kernel.

512 is enough but I think the issue has something to do with RAM being shared with the GPU so there is less avaliable, I get something around 330MB as total RAM when adding the 2 numbers under running services. My Droid 3 running stock 2.3.4 with bloat frozen is using around 250 MB. My Touchpad with CM9 and a full 1GB of RAM idles at around 300MB of RAM used, and its going to be less conservative on RAM usage since its got a GB.
The point is I don't think a CM9/10 ROM will be much worse than a bloated GB ROM as far as RAM usage goes. I really wish we had some more RAM, but I could see CM9/10 being a daily driver sometime in the future. The rest of the hardware in this phone is still pretty decent and CM should be no problem for it as long as the team can get some drivers working.

Jelly Bean on I9000...why bother?

What are the benefits of installing JB on an i9000?
I'm aware the FM radio on JB doesn't work and some other function too....then, it seems that all the sleek design of the new ROM will slow CPU speed - surely, is it worth bothering to install the latest ROMs on near outdated smartphones like the i9000?
I've stumbled on the JW4 stock and represent a worthy alternative to Gingerbread 2.3 - then for the sleek look I'm considering some themes....
Have I missed some relevant facts about the JB 4.2 on the i9000? Right now, I wouldn't bother.

For as far as I know, Cyanogenmod never really got Project Butter off the ground on Samsung devices running Exynos processors, like the i9000. I'm running 4.1 Cyanogenmod as well, and it does seem a tad more smooth, but I've no idea if that's because of Project Butter, or just the fact that it's a very nice android version.

I've just tested JB 4.2....nice and sleek look but not Swipe and what happened to my external SD? no "My File" is found so I can't search...no wonder when I check Storage on Settings gives me an error. The Camera also seems very limited (have I missed something?).
Exactly as I initially thought....
All this hype to get the latest ROMs are mostly superficial fads with no substance - good only for greedy developers and bored teenagers in search of new trills to impress their mates - nah, I like using Swipe and FM radio (and searching my files) - back to JW4.

Yeah. They came up with a neat intuitive interface with 4.2 but stripped out so many features. Honestly who in the right mind thought it was a great idea to get rid of the timer option. I used the 4.2 camera for about a day before I just rolled back to the 4.1 camera

You're comparing a ROM that's barely even alpha. Try CM10 4.1.2 stable. That will give you a better idea of what cyanogenmod is capable of. And you can still install Swype. I'm using it right now.
And don't be a troll, it's not very nice
CM10 powered by Mackay kernel

Try Mackay ROM or CM10. Both are stable and fluid and you will be happy with them. But if you don't even know how to install Swype you should probably stick to stock.

Android jelly bean is fantastic because it is faster and smoother. To solve the problem of radio you should download spirit fm radio light that is NOT a streaming app, but uses the FM radio receiver installed by Samsung on Galaxy.

An upgrade should include all the best functions - swype represents in my opinion the best way to input text - go figure why the developers forgot about it.

ok, if the FM radio isn't lost then this might save the bacon...the future is radio via data or podcasting but when traveling abroad it might be useful to use FM radio to save data roaming (and power too).
I've tested 4 new ROMs (in 2 days): aosp, aokp, xbean, cm10 - the camera has lost many functions - still, the Galaxy doesn't even offer a flash - so, no big deal there.
The JW4 I'm using right now seems faster than any of the JB tested, but I agree about the new ROMs being smoother and more stylish.
The DSP on offer might be worth upgrading...
There are too many new functions which are a bit too geeky and many customizations are a bit OTT (reminds me of some linux distros)...so, I might be tempted to opt for Slim Bean (jelly bean without the fat)....still, I'll wait a few months

no videocall facility
I belive the custom Roms not support videocall fascilty, (correct me,If I am wrong). But rest everything is OK in JB Roms.
I have tried more than 4 ROMs including latest 4.2, None of othem having videocall button not integrated with .
But there are improvements in audio & video perfomance compare to Stock GB ROM.

Can JB camera save to external SD? Try saving HD video on limited 8 GB internal storage

U should try "c-rom Mix v8" or "mckay rom build158 or 161,in my opinion its the two best roms available in JB,in McKay's build there is a small difference in smoothness between the two builds..
C-rom v8 is my favorite,its d... good

Just Because...
Because we can. You, good sir, are asking the wrong question..LOL Why wouldn't you want the latest version of android on existing hardware? It is like having the best of both worlds. New Software, same phone.
Imagine putting windows 8 on a 486, and having it run smoothly. That will never happen.... with android on the other hand... okay, perhaps a little exaggeration there, but you get the idea. (Unless you are to young to remember a 486,)
For me personally, it negates the need to buy a $500 - $600 phone, just to have the latest version of software.
I do however, understand your point of view. I hope that I have answered your question thoroughly.
My swype on 4.2.1 works fine. I do have an sdcard 0/1 bug. I consider that perfectly acceptable, in this scenario.
Panorama camera feature is neat. Although it is not something that I can see myself using a whole lot.

I think the choice belongs to everyone to flash JB...or not.
I tried but i'am back on GB with the sauRom V2. The BEST rom ever flashed on my phone ! ! !
I have tried Miui, Cyanogen, Ics, JB...... None of those roms compares to SauRom in my opinion.
Really worth a try ! Smooth, fast, stable, Very good battery life ! !
Since i'am using it, no need to flash anymore !

Is it possible to port JB Camera to GB?

Hello, I'm waiting for my phone to be delivered again (as it had a hardware malfunction, but the warranty covered it) and i'm planning to stick with GB... i'm tired of fighting with kernels, scripts and everything to make the phone work like it should. I want something that just works (sounding like an iOS fan, I know lol)
That's why i'm on a quest to bring some of the improvements of JB to GB. One of those improvements which i really liked was the camera. In JB you can zoom digitally, and also, very important to me, you can pause a video recording and then resume it. These features don't exist in GB Camera app.
Is there any way to make the JB camera work in GB????
Thank you very much in advance

I mean, obviusly is a software issue, if people can port apps from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, why can't I do the same with GB ? Is it because the system structure is so different in JB and GB ??

Thanks frapeti, that's the answer i needed. Guess i'll have to learn and do it myself.... f***ing samsung and it's sh**ty JB release, making me use an older OS for performance, it pisses me off !!!!
No more mid-end phones for me, i'll buy only flagships from now on... those phones get all the love

once, while i was sleeping and no app was active, my battery went from 100% to 50% IN 6 hours! that's what killed stock GB on my phone :laugh:
i agree about higher RAM load on JB.
