[Q] Wave 3 s8600 + Galaxy S Plus ROM

Hey guys,
does anyone know, which CPU the Wave 3 has? The Wave S8500 Hardware was verry similar to the Galaxy S Hardware, but it was not the same..
The specifications of the Wave 3 and the Galaxy S Plus are the same. Maybe it's the same Hardware?
Maybe we have got already a good base for an alternative operating system on the wave 3.
best Regards
According to GSMArena, Wave 3 has 1.4 Ghz Snapdragon processor, While Galaxy S Plus has 1.4 Ghz Scorpion Processor. Most likely the GPU would be Adreno 220..but it may as well be the Adreno 205 as Galaxy S Plus.
Okay.. there is 1 Snapdragongeneration that contains "Scorpion" SoC's with 1,4 GHz..
Snapdragon S2:
"MSM8255T 1,4 - 1,5 GHz, Adreno 205"
"MSM8655T 1,4 - 1,5 GHz, Adreno 205"
Both of them are Scorpions... the Generation is called Snapdragon.. so the same CPUs in Galaxy W, Galaxy S Plus and Wave 3
I don't think that there is a driverproblem.. now we have a third phone, that is similar (not the displaycontroller and modem from Galaxy W)
EDIT:
Okay i c, this CPU is used in the most Samsung Middle-Class Phones:
MSM8255T 45 nm ARMv7 1.4-1.5 GHz Scorpion Adreno 205 Dual-channel 333 MHz LPDDR2
GSM (GPRS, EDGE), W-CDMA/UMTS (HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+), MBMS
Samsung Focus Flash, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Galaxy S Plus, Samsung Galaxy S II Mini, Samsung Omnia W, Samsung Galaxy W
This Specifications match to the Wave 3

In 2 days I'll get my Wave 3. Just begin to try some funny things with that SGSPlus Kernel. But don't expect too much.. I have got a lot of work to do for the next months...

Just grab camera, disassembly S8600 and get macro photos of mainboard.
But seriously doubt it would be so similiar to SGS+ as S8500 to SGS,
I hope we got soon Service Manual from S8600...
Best Regards
using samsung own app "badasi" will tell you the cpu: S5PC110A01 and gpu: powervr sgx540
BadaSI is done by Larieto not Samsung
but nice to hear that you think that it is made by Samsung
Best Regards
Me to, but his name is:
larioteo
If I name an user, I need to use copy and paste to prevent funny mistakes.
Sorry for laughing.
Best Regards
Lol
i always write his nickname wrong...before I was copying it too
i'd rather write his real name because I never wrote it wrong D.....
no problem for lauhging about it...i laughed about it too
Best Regards
ooOOooh, If that phone is running a Snapdragon it'll be similar to the current crop of sony ericsson phones and a lot of HTC devices... First things first, Whatever it is (SPC, MSM or QSD) check that damned modem chip and see if there are drivers for it :-D
Yeah, i would love to put my Wave 3 to tests if anybody starts porting Android on this one.
you can help them. Disassemble wave, make same macro photo of PCB and send it them.

[BuyingIn1hour]Should i go for this or the S5 mini?

Hello, i have to order a phone in the next hour to replace my S2. The S5 mini cost 100 more but maybe it's worth? I dunno..
Originally i'd like to get a dual sim phone, looks like S4 mini has such a version but hard to find and probably not much custom rom if any..

At the moment there's no custom Rom for s5 but maybe there will be some later and the s5 is faster.
But the stats aren't really better

of course s5 mini !!!!!!! ... basic reason is that its newer !! .. i wish i could have your chance :silly:
Go with the S4 Mini! It rocks! More value for money! Cheap. More mods. Better looking.
How aggressive is Knox on the S5 Mini?
Just remember, the S5 Mini has an Exynos chip, and Samsung does not have a good track record on releasing sources for those. So there might not be any custom AOSP based roms for it. It also lacks OpenGL 3 support, whatever that will mean for future Android versions.
There aren't any big differences from the S4 Mini to the S5 Mini other than the fingerprint and 16GB ROM.

True, but 0.2 inches aren't much and water resistant is a plus but hey, it's a phone nit a water cloth

Well....... Far more resolution is not actually that true since the S4 Mini uses a full RGB matrix and the S5 Mini the crappy pentile matrix. I take the S4 Minis display any day over the S5 Minis, even though the S4 Minis is a qHD. It's more pleasing to the eye and less pixilated!
Just like S4 Mini the S5 Mini too has some variants.
3G International - Uses exynos 3 chipset(3470) 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Mali 400MP4 GPU - By far ugliest and creepiest chipset with no guarantee of kernel sources.
LTE International - May be the same exynos 3 chipset. If not then most likely snapdragon 400. Then just like I9195 this will be flooded with custom roms.
3G Dual Sim - Snapdragon 400 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Adreno 305. Good chipset with a lot of support. But I think just like I9192 aosp roms will be very less for this S5 Mini.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo or LG G2 mini

Hi everybody,
Which phone is better Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo or LG G2 mini? Tomorrow I will buy one of these two but I do not know which?
Thanks for help
S3 Neo !
Reasons:
1. Display resolution ( 720x1280 vs 540x940 )
2. Screen technology ( AMOLED vs LCD )
3. RAM ( 1.5GB vs 1GB )
4. Storage ( 16GB + SD vs. 8GB )
5. Processor clock ( 1.4GHz vs 1.2GHz )
6.NFC
If you're looking for better screen , processor and memory yu should go for s3 neo but if you want to play around with your device and install custom roms lg g2 mini will be a wiser choice because s3 neo is not yet that popular so as a result not a big dev support
Hope i could help , best regards
Not true, there is no big dev support for lg g2 mini
If you mean lollipop support or something ... it will be on s3 earlier than you think

I meant that the lg g2 mini is a couple of months older and got more custom roms than our s3 and it seems like afther a couple of months of creating a forum dedicated to the s3 neo there are almost no devloppers who are interested in this device exept for you sir which I am grateful for
Best regards

note 3 neo vs galaxy a3

Im currently using note 3neo and planning to buy Samsung a5
I want to know is this will bi a good move on performance basis
I know as per looks A5 is far more ahead of note 3neo
But my question is .Is A5 is also ahead in performance
Or any other suggestions specially in 4.7 inches display size
battery(3100mah vs 2300mah) and display size is much better in n3n,while Snapdragon 410 and adreno 306 together are much better in a5 .... for me the these two are the same,and dont worth to change

Is Snapdragon 410 better from Exynos 5260?
Also (Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53) better than (Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex A7 & dual-core 1.7 GHz Cortex A15)?
In my opinion nothing better than N3N than N3 & N4, even the price of N3N cheap comparing to other devices...but when you buy N3N its seem you bought N3 with cheaper price....our Neo deserve to be higher in his price.
I think you should go for A7 as a upgrade of your N3N instead of A5. IMHO, A5 is a downgrade of S4.
Any other options with 4.7 inches screen size
As 5.5 inches size is quite big
well, in my oppinion:
galaxy a3 < galaxy a5 < galaxy note 3 neo < galaxy a7
a7 has better cpu (octacore), better gpu and better screen resulution
and its made by aluminium
BUT it does not have a spen

HDC Galaxy A5/A5000 (Samsung Galaxy A5 Clone/Replica) 5" IPS HD, MTK6582, Metal Frame

HDC Galaxy A5/A5000 (Samsung Galaxy A5 Clone/Replica) 5" IPS HD, MTK6582, Metal Frame
Unboxing
Review
A replica of the Samsung Galaxy A5, called HDC Galaxy A5. I found this phone on Caymall. The metal build quality is pretty good, but the hardware and software inside is of course much weaker and lower than the original. But for the low price it is ok as a basic phone.
To switch boot logo to new or default, use code: *#0075#
The phone also support real wireless updates (FOTA). Very rare for a clone/replica phone.
Updated ROM with Play Store can be found here:
http://www.needrom.com/download/hdc-galaxy-a5a5000/
Specifications:
- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3Ghz
- 5.0 Inch IPS HD Screen
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- 1GB RAM / 8GB ROM (phone may show more)
- 8MP rearcam, 2MP frontcam
- Supports MicroSD
- Dual SIM (2xNano) Dual Standby
- 2G:GSM850/900/1800/1900MHZ - 3G:WCDMA850/2100MHz
do anyone have the same clone model? i need preloader file...please help me
*******.
