[Q] I8150 and I8150B: any differences?

Hello,
I'm new here and bought a version of Galaxy W sold in Brazil, which is I8150B, not I8150.
Is there any differences between them? I've searched the entire web and found nothing about it!
I want to flash a custom ROM and I only see ROMs to I8150 model; I'm a bit afraid to flash those ROMs in my phone and lose any capability.
Thanks in advance.

Radios might be different. What bands are used in Brazil?

LOL... Same here joaocadide... Good to know I'm not the only one...
I have the same question and so far I haven't found what the difference is...

When I bought mine December last year it came with 2.3.5 and my Baseband is different: I8150BVJKJ4.
You can flash any custom ROM available here, but you're gonna lose pt_br systemwise. Only pt_pt, English and other languages from Asia or Europe will be available.
Not a problem for me and some optimized ROMs are quite good, but since you already have 2.3.6, if you are not in a hurry to experiment, wait for CM9 to come out with ICS (it may a while though...problems with cameras and bluetooth are being worked out AFAIK).

I tried to install some ROMs from I8150 in my I8150B (actually they were Kezra Value Pack 1.1 and Black Notes Hybrid roms).
Everything seemed to work fine: 3G, GSM, Wifi...
But I messed with some configs (Zram and Vsync stuff) and the phone got very slow and didn't turn on again.
I'm going to try some new ROMs from I8150 version. I think it is okay.
The problems are that there's no PT-BR language for the system and Swype (I really love Swype) and it lacks the "Código da operadora" option in "Call" menu.

Man, I was looking just for this thread, about difference of i8150 and i8150b. I flashed some custom ROMS. Really loved the RebelROM Milestone 2, it is based in CM9 and have no problems with cam and wifi.
The problem is losing pt_br and swype. I thought I could try a custom ROM, to see how it works and I tryed. But it seems that I will have to wait CM9, unless that there are another custom ROM multi-language
Sorry, I just realized that this custom is not based in CM9. It just use CM9 themes. In fact it is based in black notes hybrid xD

[Q] Which 4.2.2 ROM and when is 4.3 coming?

Hey guys.
Coming from Desire S that went swimming, I found Ace 2 pretty similar, but missing more support in terms of ROMs.
In Desire S part of forum, there is a thread that has all the ROMs linked in one post, separated by android version. Could somebody do that?
Which ROM is currently newest and fastest?
Also, when can we expect 4.3 ROM to be available? Excuse my ignorance, but I really dont know what it takes for a ROM to be compiled on this device? I always thought that android is backward compatible with older devices..

answer:
1. all roms on 1 post are on ace 2 general section. please search before asking...
unfortunately, ace 2‘s jb still has lag eventhough already stable. Most people use CM..
2. Recent news, ace 2 only support until 4.2.2. source: www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18/galaxy-s-ii-galaxy-note-to-get-android-4-2-2-android-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/

Which one is "best"? Whats with that GPS bug?
4.2.2 is last for official version, but why cannot 4.3 be ported to this hardware? What are limitations?

1. you still can‘t use gps. I use sygic and when I opened it, it force closed automatically. no one is the best at this cm‘s rom because now there is only one cm builder (cm10 is dh.harald and cm10.1 is bagnzor. CM 10 is 4.1.2 and CM 10.1 is 4.2.2. eventhough both of them have bugs, you still can use it as daily purpose. you will get better explanation if you ask on rom‘s thread
2. 4.2.2 for ace 2 is only for CM version and for official is still prediction. Samsung has not release any official ROM 4.2.2 for ace 2, but instead they release ace 3. No further information whether this device will get 4.3 or not (don‘t know the limitation yet, but from the experience of jb I think ram is not high enough for 4.3 and samsung has already release ace 3 so it may be favored to it. From the news also known that samsung only release 4.3 for quadcore devices). So, if you want 4.2.2 but liked ace 2, go buy ace 3. if you want 4.3, go buy nexus series

Hey, actually I am still using the old galaxy 5, which supports officially only from, but one developer gave us cm7,9,10 and now 10.1!!!!

[Q] Flashing official 4.1.2 onto i8150T

Okay so at the moment i have the 4.1.2 Xperian UI ROM which is based off arco's CM10 installed on my gt-i8150t. I've been using custom roms since samsung's official 2.3.6 gingerbread rom, so i've never had samsung's 4.1.2 installed. However I feel like i want to install it right now (the 4.1.2 XXAMH2), but the only problem is it is for the I8150 and not the I8150T. Will this cause any issues with basebands or bricking, or will it just flash as usual (the only difference in the "T" model is the network band it uses).
Thanks in advance

Samsung stopped supporting the W at 2.3.6......so if you've found a 4.x.x rom....it ain't official....it's a custom rom.......

Bro. Its not new. You're flashing the wrong thing. XXAMH2 is for Galaxy Win, not Galaxy W. There have been plentiful rumors of this, but its not true. Samsung (being the arses that they are) ditched this phone and its community. XXAMH2 is for I8552, not I8150.

[Q] Ace II ROMs -> Ace II x compatibility?

Hi there!
Do anyone know if ROMs cooked for Ace II would work on Ace IIx (GT-s7560M) and, in consequence, on Galaxy Trend (GT-s7560)?
I'm asking because due to the low popularity od Trend, I can choose from stock TouchWiz ICS and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292696, which is also ICS and that doesn't satisfy me. As I can see, there are lots of JB ROMs for Ace II, hence the question.
Thank you for your answers

No. I see cm10.1(or 10.2, whatever) for ace 2x, thats android 4.2(jb) why not use that

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. You could attempt to port a ROM from the Ace 2, but it wouldn't be bugfree. Getting it booted would be a feat. Like the previous commentor said, there is a CM10.2 and CM11 (JB and KK ROMs) ROM for the Ace II X, though it isn't completely bug free. You could also try my Mod Pack (link in my sig) for the stock ICS ROM. The next update will include some AOSP ICS themed visuals, so it'll make stock ROM feel more AOSP and less Samsung-y.

Well, I haven't noticed at first, there's even 4.3 ROM cooked for Ace IIx ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518416&highlight=ace+iix ), thanks for hints.
I'll try to set it up and running later today and confirm if it does the trick on Trend.

AFAIK, YoshiShaPow's Slimbean doesn't work. Bootloops. If you want a good ROM (and pretty much the only real custom ROM), try SeannyM's CM builds. There's 10.2 and 11 (Android 4.3 Jellybean and 4.4 Kitkat). All the source built ROMs for the Ace II X are currently buggy. There in his signature here. They'll definitely work with the Trend, but I'm not sure about RIL compatibility with the Trend. If it doesn't work, you can try flashing the Ace II X 'MG2 firmware from Sammobile with Odin, then installing CM.

For future seekers:
Well, after hours of flashing, wiping and testing, it's CM 10.2 ported by SeannyM which appears the best ROM for Galaxy Trend (originally meant for Ace IIx), CM11 has less features, ART doesn't work like it should and it's too buggy tu use so far. 10.2 has a couple of bugs but it's definitely usable as a daily driver. The most gear-grinding bugs are:
WiFi (either you have it turned on all the time or after turning it off you have to turn it on back again and reboot your device, otherwise it won't connect to any network saying 'authentication problem occurred'. That can also be a RIL issue with my device, as you've stated above),
Bluetooth, which simply doesn't work yet
Camera - you can just download any other camera app from play or whatever.
Some may also consider message which shows up after entering PIN ("a SIM card has been detected; reboot your device to install it" or something like that) a problem. You just bypass it by pressing 'back' button and everything's fine.
I use it with JB gapps and 1208MHz kernel, both also got to work by SeannyM, he has links to download all of them goodies in his signature.
Thanks for all the hints

I recently bought an Ace IIx, I quickly found out that it is different from the Ace II and there are less custom rom available. I would flash CM10.2 but I need bluetooth in my car, so I can't use CM10.2 until bluetooth is fixed.
For now, I'm running Daver's MG2 deodexed stock rom and I added a few tweaks (patched services.jar, installed busybox and enabled init.d support). Now, I would like to know if there are some init.d scripts available to improve performance?

Hello.
I have a Galaxy trend s7560
Root is working and cwm 5.x
Also. I flashed cm11 Android 4.4
On it from the Ace 2x.
This is working fine.

Hi I am not sure about the ROM you speak of, but I just managed to update my 8160L which was on VIVO running JB. I used Mclaw and the procedure required you to take the TEE folder from your current JB rom and insert it into the new rom before you flash it. I also had to edit the updater script and it was pretty straight forward from there.
