REQUEST2.Please post some screenshots showing different dpi/screen reSolutions in galaxy S .

i9000 being the international version definitely has a Big community. So more roms/kernels to try and ton of tweaks too.
As for the other questions you'll find better comparison on the Internet.

But i googled a lot.. .. lots and lots !
Didn't get relevant answers !
Well, i wanna buy a second-hand galaxy s or s plus .
Which one is more expensive ?
Which one is better if we don't consider xda/rooting/custom_rom/developer_community ?

I don't really know, your gonna have to ask someone who has had both phones to really know, but in terms of "stock", the I9001 is Android 2.3 while the I9000 only has 2.1

As I understand it:
Q1.) I9000 seems to have the bigger community
R1.) I don't have any pictures, but...
AMOLEDs have a wider colour gamut than standard LCD screens and so are able to produce a wider colour range than LCD panels are.
Also, LCDs have a backlight that powers the display while AMOLEDs run by lighting individual pixels. What this allows for AMOLED screens is to light only the neccesary pixels, meaning blacks look really... black. As opposed to LCD screens where the whole screen is lit up even for the colour black. To a lot of people AMOLEDs tend to have colours that pop out, even on the early I9000 AMOLED.
Q2.) I'm not entirely clear on the playback capability of the Galaxy Star/Star Pro, however, I can say at least that the I900x has really good playback support on stock GB, only a small number of files can't be played (.3gp, some mkvs)
Q3.) The Galaxy Star/Star Pro runs Jelly Bean, no idea how well its optimised on such a device, but chances are it'll be smoother than stock GB on the I900x
Q.) I'll let you decide:
I9000:
-Greater dev support
I9001:
-1.4Ghz Snapdragon as opposed to 1Ghz Hummingbird
-Slightly bigger battery (?)
Otherwise both phones are more or less the same

Correct, we have a 1650 mAh battery. But if you look at the community for the i9001, there's not much we're missing. We have CM9, CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 (being developed) so there are enough options to upgrade your phone. Our development team may not be the same size but they make some awesome software

i9000 has a bigger community + CyanogenMod official support.

Please give the best thread & download link to "latest" firmware (odin) for GT-i9000
Also I heard there is something like plus pack/upgrade pack which can be flashed to upgrade stock rom..... Anything like that..? Link please

Check this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
I mean 2.3.6 value pack ...could be the last stock ROM

What is value pack ?
A complete firmware package ( which can be used to unbrick via odin ) ,
or just an add-on package ( which has to be flashed over default firmware, and cannot be used to unbrick directly )
??

Galaxy s

I want to buy a new phone, and just want to ask it worth to buy galaxy s or should i go for another phone??

That kind of depends on what you're looking for in a phone. I have a Galaxy S, and I'm very happy with it. However, it's now been replaced by the "Galaxy SII", which is probably considered "nicer" by most people (slightly better screen, faster dual-core CPU, etc, etc). The SII will be more expensive, so that may be a factor for you.
If you want a phone that just works, can play .mp3 files and games, and has good screen and memory as standard, then the Galaxy S will do all that and more.
Thanks for your reply.... i was more interested in is it a good phone to root and does it have many stable costum roms

Yes; very easy to root; has a wide choice of custom roms; is "officially" supported by CM7; and the community is working very hard to port ICS to this phone. Also very hard to "permanently" break from a custom-rom point of view - "download mode" means almost any other problem is fixable.
I got one more question before i buy it..... which one is best galaxy s plus or galaxy s
There are a lot more ROMs out there for the SGS compared to the SGS+, although some/most (not sure about this...) will work on both phones..
I don't have any experience with the SGS+, but if you're looking for ease of rooting and ROM choice, I'd go for the standard SGS

Thats true. So i would also say I9000.
galaxy s
I have an option to buy my friends galaxy s which is used for a year in good condition. The i9000 is discontinued in india for some reason, and worse phones like the galaxy s plus and lcd are introduced. I just wanna know if its worth buying the galaxy s now or should i wait for the galaxy s advance so i'm more upto date on the technology? Personally i feel the i9000 was a phone ahead of its time when it was released it still can beat any 2011 single core 1ghz phone and the sgx540 is used in the galaxy nexus too so it must be a pretty good gpu. I just need your opinion on this. Thanks
Both S and S+ are great phones.
If you prefer lots of custom roms then you can go on SGS, but if you like faster cpu (can be overclocked at 2 ghz) and stronger battery life like me, then SGS+ is obvious choice at similar price range.
But don't you think if we use the sgs+ battery in the sgs and overclock it to 1.4ghz,the hummingbird would perform better than a scorpion running at 2ghz? I'm talking about overall performance which is including the processor and gpu.
Am not sure about that.
Adreno 205 is very good gpu used also in Xperia Play for example.
Together with 2ghz processor is still better solution for me.
I found this comparision test between two gpus:
http://www.grandmax.net/2010/10/adreno-205-vs-powervr-sgx540-mobile-gpu.html
Thats an old comparison between android 2.1 and 2.2 obviously there will be a big difference, according to the latest benchmarks the gpu's rank as mali400-adreno220-sgx540-geforce-adreno205.
Can you provide a link with those latest benchmarks, i like to read it.
Thanks.

After reading this thread my conclusion and answer to your original question remained the same.
These two phones are very similar to the overall strength and the only difference is in relation to the CPU/GPU.
However i9000 is discontinued and is more logical for me, to purchase a new model as his closest successor.
My feeling is the galaxy s if you are after adding custom roms to your phone. The community is massive. Personally I don't think the other phone will compare. Remember the S2 has actually replaced the galaxy s. I say this as the S was samsungs frontline phone at the time. All others are rehashed s phones aimed at a different market segment. If you are going to get a new phone i would go for the s2 or possible wait for s3. If you need it now i would get s
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
Yea i think i'll go for the S itself, S2 is way too expensive, the price hasn't fallen since its launch a year back nd besides i'm gettin the s for 1/3 the price of the s2 . But any idea how much will the s advance cost? If its somewhere close to she s2 itself then there's no use of waiting for it.

Bcoz of such lack of education many people hard bricked their S+ , no roms from s work on s+ , it's a totally different hardware, bootloader partitions etc..
As for those who commented the gpu, according to all benchmarks there is no big difference between adreno 205 (with updated drivers) and sgx.

[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich Should be available for SGA

Please don't consider it as a "another ICS blah blah... thread"
Just check this product from HTC:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_c-4759.php
Processor: 600
Resolution: 320 x 480 pixels
So Our SGA is way better than this phone by HTC. The most interesting feature for this phone is "OS Android OS, v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)"
On Xda, some days before I read a thread where expert developer confidently said that "Ice Cream Sandwich requires more processing frequency than that of SGA which is 800 and even it can not run on overclocking. So guys just forget about ICS on SGA."
So now what you guys wanna say?? If this HTC handset can RUN official ICS on 600 then why not our SGA??
Your clarification will help all of us!!
Regards,
Adwait
This has been said and discussed a lot of times here TBH.
regardless of whatever someone says our ACE is capable of running ICS but samsung SIMPLY REFUSE to support their older devices and so the fact of the matter is we will NOT GET OFFICIAL ICS. CM9 and AOKP is our best bet.
but can't we use the ICS of this HTC handset to port for our SGA?? CM9 is really a good option but it's modification! I mean to say stock 4.0 for SGA
That device uses cortex A8(armv7) processor,+512 mb ram.And ace has 278 user available ram+armv6 processor.Stock ICS needs 384 mb user available ram to correctly use/render API level 14 of 4.0.CM9 by galaxyics uses binary patches and kernel hacks if you see their sources.Therefore the performance boost ICS gives,is not visible because API level 14 neccessities are not met.Moreover i consider CM9 for ace just eyecandy(thats personal opinion).And I am pretty satisfied by gingerbread.Android 4 for ace would have made sense if it had 500+mb ram and 1ghz+ armv7 processor.What use is an OS if it reduces performance of your device

stable fast rom for galaxys I900

Hi There,
lets try find the most suitable rom galaxys, after all we have a decent device, nothing more then
this, and all the developers somehow manage, to upgrade it endlessly but still the device does not
respond that quick
so does someone has an idea, how to find the most suitable rom for galaxy s, for daily use
lots of internet,
messaging
social apps
GPS
stable
and quick responses
it can be any version 2.3.7>4.0>4.1>4.2 with any kernel, with/without overclocking
for now i use SlimBean 4.2.1 with semaphore. live OC 105% and the device is stable but a little bit lagy...
notice that i am fully aware that there is no "best rom" but lets try to find the most suitable one for daily use...
Thanks
Wrong Forum mate!! Should be in the Q&A forum....

i specifically stated, it is not a question for the best rom,
its a question about how can we find the software that
works perfectly with the hardware we have in our "decent" device
for example the 4.2.1 was developed for a quad core 1.5GHZ, 2GB ram etc...
while we have a single core 1Ghz 512Mb ram...
of course the developers are doing magnificent adaptation and somehow manage the device to work good
but lets face its a little too much for this gardware...

Thats more because of the awesome dev support than raw power , although yeah , the tegra 2 chipset sucks big time , my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is so slow (on stock ROM , and it is even slower on CM10.1).
Also point to note that our devices performs much better(not in Raw benchmarks,but in real life performance) than the Novathor running Xperia U/P/Sola etc , which lag like anything with ICS+.
And with the latest 4.2.2 and new kernels , RAM performance has increased over 40% and CPU Floating Point went about +30%.
Thread Closed, best ROM threads aren't allowed. Everyone has their own preference. I suggest you install a few, look at features and see what is best for you.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s advance vs. Samsung galaxy s III mini

Hi.
I'll buy new phone but I need help... Which is better?? Exactly, I mean this:
Camera
Performance
SGSadvance has Auto-brightness and SGSIIImini no. So Which is better?
Thanks for the replies
First of all. SGSA WILL get 4.2.2, secondly, the S3 Mini is just so small. I recommend the Galaxy S Advance
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I think S3 Mini is better! Below is a list of things that S3 Mini has but (sadly) S Advance doesn't...
- It has NFC Support.. although a variant of SGSA, the i9070P has NFC - BUT there is (almost) no "developments" for i9070P, so its not recommended for people who would want to try out Custom ROMs or Kernels...
- It has Bluetooth 4.0
- It has MORE RAM than SGSA (1024 MB vs 768 MB)
- Faster Internet/Data Speed (HSPA @ 14 mbps)
- I think it also has 4G support (HSPA+)
- It has support for microSDHC
- It does have Additional Display Support
- Its "technically" newer in market, so there is a chance that this phone might get a taste of Key Lime Pie update...
- Other Misc things.....
So yeah, Performance would surely be better in S3 mini, but both phones have the "same average" Camera or Video Recording/Playback quality....
But I'd still prefer S Advance because I hate that "curvy" shape of S3(mini).. whereas SGSA or S2 or S2 Plus has a much more BOLD shape which I prefer to hold
S Advance is a good budget phone... no doubt. But stop misdirecting the guy by telling him the S Advance is better than the S3 Mini...
With the S3 Mini you get... More RAM, stable version of JB, better camera (we're not talking megapixels here), better looks, more ROM support ( they have an almost stable CM10 ).. It's just a better phone.

Also,for camera,S3 mini has only a vga front camera.
The only real advantage of s3 mini is the more ram which I would trade it with the ambient light sensor if you ask me...

Yeah, the most important part is the ram (for multi-tasking) ambient light sensor is not that important to me.if your buying it but it does not have ''big diff'' with s advance because it has NovaThor processor too.
But you might want to look up the S2 Plus or LG Optimus L9 (great development for this device available)... I just bought an S2 Plus and got to say that it's great bang for buck as the price of the S2 Plus was just 50 bucks more than an S Advance, and the difference in features and performance is really wide.

[Q] My Next Buy ?

I want to buy one of this phones Galaxy S1 vs Galaxy Ace 2 vs Optimus 2x.
How is the battery for 2x it is bad, because S1 has 1 core and the same battery ?? I saw on ace 2 and s1 on youtube it is running games like nfs and nova3. Can this LG run them ??

I would prefer the 2x over the other samsung phones.
I have played the nfs and works fine with custom kernel, great developers, unbrickable device and amazing community.

The stock rom can be flashed without the battery.
The phone can be bricked but also recoverable, thats the reason why its known as unbrickable device.
And how to recover the phone, for that you need to search

Unbrickable doesn't mean it's impossible to brick the phone, it just means it's impossible to permanently brick it. Meaning that if you screw up a flash and the phone doesn't boot, it's very easy to restore it to working condition.
O2X is quite better than s1 and ace
Simply take a look into the specs.There is also a great developing community that makes your phone working faster as the speedlight,hehehe

O2X has more raw power and a better camera, no doubt about that, but the S1 has better stability from official CM10/10.1 nightlies due to better drivers. There's only so much our best devs can do for the O2X when a lot of things from Nvidia are closed source.
the display is much better on O2X, every game runs on it well, the battery is alright.
oh and it looks better than both samsung's
Next buy would be the LG optimus G.
No samsung for me,because you have to buy a new battery after 6 months.....
Advantages of O2X:
Better display ( i think that amoled displays show a bit strange colors)
Better Processor - yes Nvidia is closed source but the GPU in Tegra2 is better even compared with Samsung GS2 and if you want gaming console O2X is a better choice obviously
Better look - i dont like plastic samsungs
Advantages of samsung S1 and Ace 2
Better source - better ROMs for them
Ace 2 has more RAM
And that's it i cant think of more.
Battery life in O2X is bad .. but with good ROM you can use it for a day or two
my opion i have the lg o2x and my friend has a galaxy s1 and yeah galaxy s1 is cool but slow and even with a rom, i instaled a gaming rom, very clean it runs okay, but you instal 5apps its slower and slower, battery is okay, but yeah 1core vs 2cores
the o2x had 8mp dualcore, i had like 10+ games on its was on cm7 runed great, no lags like the s1, battery on 2g i had 1day, but i texte hole day and texting eats batery, but internet on wifi great, 3g eat battery but is acptable. so good phone and it is cheap
but if you text a lot the s1 is good with black sms back ground you can text hole day, and on 3g is does alright with good rom, but yeah if you want apps dont take the s1, it not so fast
then the ace 2, 3.8"' screen and 800mhz dualcore, i guess battery is also good like the most sammy phones, but yeah you get 5mp like the s1
and littler screen.
just say what you want to do with phone.
games and lots of apps O2X and internet browsing is so smooth. sms the S1 internet is okay but slow, due the 1ghz singlz core.
ace 2 dont know is okay but cant beat the o2x
i would like to buy an optimus 4x or htc one x, i dont which is better, but the o4x is cheaper

go for one X
realy good xda suport, my onlce has it, its great, battery also great, for the little battery, o4x is not bad but xda suport not much, and from LG also not for drivers, but the then other side o4x has SD and removable battery.
if you dont need that go for one x 32 gb, its good and has a nice desin^^
ow and even ONE X is faster, they may have the same tegra 3, htc did a better jobs with perfomance, LG is slower.
but if you go for one X, install a custom rom, HTC sense is heavy and eats all the ram, my oncle has it with a AOSP rom and the phone is o much faster^^
but then still like always depends what you wanna do with phone
btw i see you have lg o2x, if you know the hell we had with for drivers, with the o4x, its not that wel also.
HTC is realy good.
Is OPTIMUS 2X display really better than Amoled Plus from Galaxy S1 (pls no fanboys) ?
yes..
I haven't found any comparision between displays so i wait more oppinions

you want awnser, okay simple amoled has colorfull colors but no real white, its more green.
LCD of o2x has great white but yeah its lcd so colors are not the colorfull as amoled, amoled yeah black black, and lcd is juste black.
realy the difference aint that much, when you play angry birtds on s1 the colors will be very bright and shiny like little children toys/games
LCD of o2x is just more real. i have now a lg l9 and i can see the differnce the o2x has a very good LCD
even if my L9 has IPS lcd, the o2x is still much more whiter.
so yeah its just taste. when you have phone you wont see difences. only when you compare.
i only like amoled for its black (is texting app with black background its saves battery)
has no + or -
your choose its the phone that mathers
