Gingerbread vs Ice Cream Sandwich - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

We obviously know Gingerbread is Rock stable then ICS. I am currently planning on going back to Gingerbread WITHOUT leaving behind any ICS feature like the Multitasking feature or the Apollo Music app. Is there any possible ways to do it?

First of all , you should go to recovery mode (clockworkmod) and go to mounts and format ( /cache /data /system) and reboot the phone ,
when it shuts down press power+vol down to get to the download mode
and then you do a regular software via Odin .. here is the link of how to software your Galaxy Wonder!!!

for the firmware go to sammobile.com and choose the galaxy w (you should sign there ... )
Cheers..

I think you misinterpreted his question wrongly. I think he was asking if he could bring over the multitasking features over to GB. Not removed it clean

oh , silly me , in that case i don't really know but you can use ram manager and and apps ,

Sorry to tell but I didn´t Honestly Gingerbread was really unstable for me. Rebootet almost everytime I took a look at my SGW.
No, not really that bad but sponatnious reboots occured sometimes whereas CM9 ran rock solid even in Alpha stage. This for months without turning the device off and it´s performance didn´t decrase like GB when it was already running for 2 or 3 days.
Another disadvantage in using GB is not being able to Greenify your Apps and and the worse memory management and thus all your apps like facebook running all the time in the background till you kill them manually.
But to answer your question, no you can´t exept you are a really skilled Dev who will rewrite all the code. But in this case you also could develop a completely new ROM or simply port Ubuntu Touch, Apples IOS or the Firefox OS within 5 minutes on this device.

stock gb is rock solid.
99% bug free (it means all its functions on the phone r working),
1% human bug (screw up the phone n blame it).
new jb/ics kernel/software r not 100% backwards compatible due to old hw becoz lag of newly design functions.
most universe scripts in xda r generally for other hp.
lucky scripts did no harm, becoz most scripts written on non existence parameters on sgw.
if they do hits on some parameters, it likely will brick ur hp or do nothing becoz already at its optimal.
so far, i've scan many scripts n found tat they r completely no use except for two (zip_init and adrenoboost v0.3) r useful.
stock gb rom r optimized, fine tune vm if u know wat to do. :good:

Ok, if the stock GB is so fantastic can you explain why Samsung released several updated to fix some "issues"?
Doesn´t make really sense if it´s 99% bugfree.

Sorry but that´s another nonsense. Never kernels, software or firmware not compatible with older hardware just because the older hardware might be to slow and therefore lagging?
Sorry to tell but this is bull$hit and contradictory. It´s the other way around. In newer software, be it kernel, rom or whatever, the developers take care to support older hardware, but can´t do this in older software which is outdated and not developed further and often also missing drivers for the newer hardware.
They can also fix bugs which were made in older software (kernels, firmware and apps) and the timeline is going forward due to it´s physical rules, not backwards.There were also no Aliens or machines who developed GB in the past but humans working for Google, who lerned further by knowing the issues they have made in the past to make it better in the future.
ICS and JB is the further developement of GB and the developers behind this newer ROMs are still the same humans. Just more clever now then they where while developing GB
Between a newer ROM just lagging and an older ROM randomly rebooting there is a huge difference.
So stop spreading such nonsense where you contradict yourself, else I will suggest you to use the oldest and "most bugfree way" (as a corollary of your statements) to comunicate by using carrier pigeons.

u r confused.
there r no update after gb kernel 2.3.6, gb kernel 2.3.7 is for nexus wallet update only.
wat update r u talking about??
if it is software, old software need to update so tat it can work with new or the latest.
i still using stock gb with my own tweaks, works perfect fine n bugfree, there no need to tell me.
u dun have to be so work up, u only screw urself up more often than not. :cyclops:

I´m not confused. It´s more you are confused because you obviously have no clue what you are talking about, nor why there is no kernel update for GB and even what´s the difference between 2.3.6 and 2.3.7.
And just by the way. The latest GB kernel for the SGW is 2.6.35 but not 2.3.6.
And since you even don´t know what update I´m talking about, I suggest you to flash the very first GB ROM the SGW was released with. I bet it will be better than the current one you are using

ok, u r rite about kernel version, android version stop at 2.3.6. n 2.3.7 is for nexus.
is stock gb rom is unstable? :silly:
my stock runs better than b4 (wo samsung widget apps).

Dude, what are you talking about.??? This is really pure nonsense. I can send you a 2.3.6 ROM for a Huawei Smartphone. You can flash it on your SGW and see if it works and I assure you it will brick your phone. Or I can send you JeallyBean for the same phone which is older than our SGW but got updated to JB.

My desire sucks

I have TELUS HTC desire 2.1 no root or mods when I go to text everything i type is delayed and then will just pop up all at once and then when I go to actually send my text it takes up to two minutes sometimes to appear in the messages as being sent. Quite frequently it will also force close almost daily. Anyone else having a same issue?
I have this exact same problem. My Telus Desire seems to be so sluggish. Would installing a custom ROM fix these problems?
HTC desire is one of the snappiest devices I ve ever used. but I have unlocked phone so not sure If it is carrier specific . I would suggest getting a replacements or flashing. A cUstom Rom or factory reset
And TELUS promise 2.2 mid October and still nothin idk how to fix this phone its very sluggish I have unlocked the phone and using it with Rogers
Unlocking the phone will not make it faster, your carrier has filled it with bloatware or screwed the rom.
Install one of the many great roms from here and you will see the difference.
Can u please tell me how ? And do I have to be rooted ? Is there any one click rooting . Which Rom is good that must have app2sd . Sorry I came from xperia x10 , HTC desire is totally different
I have the same phone and is unlocked to Fido.
I don't have much delays anywhere yet.
I only gripe about the battery life !

yes you have to be rooted, use the unrevoked 3 method for mine worked piece of cake follow the tutorial on here, then install a custom rom after you do a backup, you will definetly see the difference try cynogenmod, my desire is definetly the fastest ph ive ever had and have certainly not had the problems you guys are talking about! let me me know how u go
desire with 2.1 is sluggish, 2.2 is a massive speed boost and if you unroot it add ad2sd+ and some custom kernel with CFQ scheduler the speed will amaze you

im going to assume you know basic computing, like finding device manager etc?
after youve rooted the easiest way to install roms is to download rom manager from market. MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW ROM
then you can download a rom straight to your ph from this website in :desire android development forum and then install it via rom manager,
happy ROOTING!!!!!
Thank you soo much bro ill try that ASAP. Does the Rom u have does that have sense UI and app2sd ?

I think u should update your phone to android 2.2 froyo.
Super fast!
Not running Froyo yet, no root, stock ROM (waiting for Telus Froyo release).
Super fast, super smooth,
I find it slows down after about 2 weeks of always on, but a re-start fix's that.
I read 'droids have slow-down because of how the OS operates, so restart your device at least once a week.
I won't even bother to flash a ROM until there is a stable Gingerbread ROM available........maybe Root after 2.2 update.
Still very impressed with the device + GPS connects in 3 secs ( much to dismay of my samsung friends )

cm9 AOKP a joke ?

All the effort i see invested in CM9-CM10_AOKP with as mayor problem that all the memory gets consumed so that only few applications can run ????
I ask myself why !!!
Tried out CM9/CM10/OAKP(franklin)) and installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
Not only is the thing getting horribly slow and very buggy it is in fact completely unusable at this time.
Ex standard applications as Google play are completely failing ....
it is possible to download aps and install them manually but then you can not support it any more.....
These are NOT rom's for daily use. not in a long shot .
its back to good old Piethtz who took pride in finishing stuff untill it was WORKING AND STABLE.
Bugs in AOKP (franklin) just use it it fails and crashes
bugs in CM9 lagging like hell practicably impossible to use the keyboard
and do not tell me not to use a2sd functionality it's simply not worth it for 2 applications/not even for 30 ... then Stock roms are way better.
A long as that memory limitation problem is there android notebooks and phones are dead, not worth investing in not in 2012
If their architecture is such that this is killing the use we should abandon android architecture its mis concieved
this is not the quality of windows
this is not the quality of linux
this is not yet .....
if installing multiple applications use a simple symbolic or direct link is getting in so much trouble the real quality of the whole is not Good
with all respect for the work of ericas and ....
signing off
you should know there isnt an old windows phone or whatever that can run windows 8 via an unofficial way.
ics/jb is not made for our gio's, and so, it wont work as good as you want it to be. if you want that, buy a galaxy s3. they even give you a better screen and processor.
so stfu and live with it or get rich and buy high end smartphones.

Did you try link2sd?
By the way I've just installed this rom, and I think it's the first usable Android 4 for Gio.
Camera and camcorder working finally, everything's running stable and smooth (yet).
The only thing I haven't experienced yet is battery life. If it can take 1.5-2 days with average usage, it will pass my high standards that no other non-stock based rom have passed yet.
Oh, and after installing some basic apps(Skype, Maps, GMail, TC, etc...), I still have 108MB free on internal mem.
So no, it's not a joke, it's the best ROM out currently for Gio (a smooth camcorder like the TW Camera in stock would be good, but this is just a minor negative point if you take the features that ICS gives into consideration).
I say this after trying about 30 different ROM's in the past half year...
I'm sorry to ask you this: did you pay for his work? which makes you right for komplain about it?
installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
this is your problem
two scripts that do the same thing
chose only one of them (i recomment cronmod int2ext+ if you want that kind of script, i use link2sd and link only the games)
and in developer settings choose force gpu rendering(for better battery aver all) and smartassv2 or interactive
Some bugs
Can someone please post this in the dev thread? I don't have 10 posts yet...
So far I've found these four bugs:
-(MINOR) Ringtones play only once if there's no ANDROID_LOOP=true OGG metatag in the sound file. By the metatag it seems rather a feature than a bug, but in 2.3.x roms it was not needed, and it can really troll new rom users. Please fix if possible, or write instructions (convert file to ogg and set the metatag, that's all but it needed me a lot of googling to find it)
-(MAJOR) Init.d settings (at rom settings) cause heavy load, and settings won't stay (su permission request accepted of course). It can't be enabled at all because of this.
-(MAJOR) Google Talk from gapps-ics-20120429 FC with "Need GTalk_SERVICE permission".
Tried first by just installing talk.apk (extracted from gapps) as system app, then by flashing the whole gapps zip, then with full wipe, rom reflash and flashing gapps immediately after rom flash, but no luck. Tried CWM fix permission too (no effect), but couldn't try rom init.d feature fix permissions due to the previous bug.
-(CRITICAL) If I go outside the signal area of a WIFI AP (without turning off wifi) and there's no other available connection (I don't have mobile net atm), the whole system crashes when an application tries to initiate a connection.
No response to:
-Touch
-Back softkey long set to kill
-Pwr hardkey, home hardkey
Only removing battery helps, however my live wp (phase beam, the one that's integrated in the rom) moves until that.
It happened two times:
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, push browser icon, browser icon glows, crash
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, open wifi settings (with wifi powerswitch longpress), select another ap to connect to, start to enter wpa passphrase, crash after typing 4 chars (some process in the background may have tried to initiate a connection meanwhile)
If you can't reproduce tell me and I'll try in USB Debug to get a logcat dump.
I still say this is the best ICS/JB rom out for Gio, but if you can fix these it'll be completely perfect

installing multiple a2ad.. methods one after the other gives similar errors that disappear when not installed. Up to no one published this serious memory handling BUG in the center of ics cm9/scm10/aokp biggest problem area.
problems in the center area need to be solved if people want to believe in any future for the Rom.
why invest time in any os if people are not assured the main problem lack of memory handling poses a risk of complete failure
that is the reason for the"is this a joke?"
the hard work of the developers is NOT assured questioned nor diminished
I refered to linux and windows as basic fundamental robustness as a base.
individual apps anoi one person.failure into the core make everything fail

In my opinion I find your AOKP to be the most efficient and stable ROM I have installed on my phone so far. The battery so far has lasted up to 2 days while I have been receiving calls and playing games and its only at 66%! I am loving your ROM. No crashes so far. Thanks for all your (and erikcas, jellaxy's) hard work.

No tweak. Some apps uninstalled from system (trebuchet, live wp's), and link2sd that's all. With link2sd Google Maps is on SD, maybe it's background service doesn't like it, apart from it there's nothing wrong I could've done.
CPU settings: clocks at stock, governor is SAv2.
About 1 crash / day. Newer crashes seemed unrelated to wifi signal drop.

My S2 is slower than my Sister's S2???

Hey Guys recently i got the S2 white on Tmobile for free and it came with the 4.0.4 ICS Firmware and ive notice that my phone is kind of slow comparing it to my sister's S2 wich is black and its on the 2.3.6 Firmware. I dont know if its the phone with a problem or if its the 4.0.4 firmware causing that my phone is slower than hers. Anyone that can tell me something about this??? Another thing is that she got her S2 when they first came out on Tmobile and i got mine just a couple a days ago, so for me it doesnt make any sense that my phone is slower and laggs a lot.
You sure you don't have anything running in the background, or is it just laggy without anything installed on it? Might be because of some background apps that you do not know of

I dont think is that because i only have a few apps and im always doing the task mannager clean up, so i did a couple of tests with both like entering to the contacts,phone,txt,apps,browser etc and my phone was always a little slower than hers in every area. And when im scrolling the app list my phone is slower and laggy and hers fast and smooth. So i dont know im thinking about doing a downgrade to 2.3.6 since i dont see a great difference on the OS, to see if my phone works better that way, im waiting for the jelly bean update so i can enjoy my phone more. I dont know what do you think i should do?

I agree with icenight89 - why downgrade when you can use a custom ROM/kernel with more control over the performance of your phone? Many kernels have loads of governors to choose from that optimize what stock ROMs use, depending on if you're going for more performance or for more battery life (or some combination of the two). The KKO kernel has a lot of governors, or you can check out this new one based off KKO (keep in mind it's only for JB roms): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2111871
Generall, Task Killers aren't really that effective and invite FC's. You best bet is to root, remove bloat, and try some tweaks. Otherwise, like me, resort to Custom ROMs/Kernels. Take a peek at the Android Development Section and be prepared to be amazed at the plethora of choices you will encounter. While some focus on performance, others focus on better battery. It's all about trying out what's there and choose one of your liking. Good Luck. Let me know if you would like some recommendations.

clean Gingerbread vs CM9 rc5

Can anyone please name the advantages of CM9 installed on our phone?
Currently i use Bagux 1.4 and I've noticed these pros against cm9:
Better battery,
No connectivity problems,
Camera works faster..
CM9 r5
I bought my Galaxy W has 8 days and I am already using the CM9, not sorry ...
Advantages:
1- It is ICS so it has more features and options. CM gives even more customizations to Android
2- It looks way better than stock GB
3- There are many custom kernels!
4- It has more attention from the devs, GB has WAY less attentions now.......
5- The theme option in setting, this means that you can change the colours of the rom just by installing an app
6- You will be upgrading to a rom that has been made by Sir Arco..........Enough said!
Disadvantages:
No FMradio
CM9!
arco68 is very good at it ... CM9 makes! The samsung is so ***** that left us in 2.3.6, but for that there XDA developers! : D: D

You can download Spirit Light, it's a FMRadio and it works greater than the original one for what I saw till now.. =)
i would say if you've used stock GB for a long time like me, you will find stock GB's interface to be more simple haha. But learning a new interface is never too hard so this is not much of a pro.
some even speculated that GB roms uses less battery than ICS/JB roms since well u know... GB has not much to offer xD! But I believe with more and more kernels developed within the ICS/JB frameworks, GB will also lose in the battery department.
So in conclusion, GB is outdated and should only be kept for preference purposes. (right now, I'm too lazy to migrate due to all the customization I have to redo and the ICS/JB rom still not finalized yet, yes I'm unreasonably demanding lol)
I've tried a lot of roms. Thought i will stick with CM9, but after experiencing wifi, data problems, battery drain, I've came back to GB Bagux rom, which runs smoothly for me and has no bugs or problems. I always change the interface with custom launchers, so looks of GB isnt an issue, since there is themes for its framework too. I think its better to have more free memory, than to run on the Edge of memory shortage like on CM9. And battery is definately better for example 1d16h on battery and 66% left. (didnt use phone much but still on cm9 it was 2-3% while deepsleep)
We can talk all day bout this topic. But in my opinion it really depends on what type of user you are.
In my case, i use camera a lot at work, i also use fm radio, and plays a lot of 3d games.
It's a mix feeling when you try those different roms. When i flashed CM10 i thought i was never gonna go back to GB.
JB brings new stuff, buttery smooth as they say, and it's the latest Android. But there are still bugs in the camera, and battery life isn't that good yet compared to GB. After using it for more than a month, i decided to try the latest GB update (2.3.6 dated December 2012).
I think i'm gonna stick with GB for the moment. Not until battery life is improved and those glitches in the camera are fixed.
To compensate the feeling of being outdated, i tried different launchers. I mean really different, like launcher 8 which totally mimics the windows phone interface. Looks can be easily achieved whether you are in GB or JB as there are plenty of launchers and customizations out there.
When it comes to performance, i managed to get the best of my current GB rom by carefully managing start ups and disabling apps which i do not really use. It plays all the 3d games i have with no lag at all. I do not overclock my phone, coz it will just eat up more battery.
Overall, i think my current setup is better and just what i need for daily use. It's quick, no bugs, reliable, and the battery can last 2 days with minimal use. So I'm satisfied and happy with it. For now..
Do High Def games work faster on Ginger Bread or CM9? I'm thinking of flashing F.A.W stock ROM... For the sake of gaming...

if you want to try gb for gaming install the latest euro update XXLMI (december 2012). i think it performs better.
install "autostarts" from market and disable auto starting apps to save memory.
u may want to freeze system apps you don't use also with link2sd. this is what i did basically, without any other tweaks and i'm happy with the result.
same here ,,, im a big fan of link2sd apps,, i used to link all my apps to my 32gb class 10 mmc,,, so that my phone memory never gets full,, whenever new game comes,,,,

Some people told me to use other kernel . I have problem that most kernels I see are orveclocked or have options to over clock .... My question is there safe kernel without any kind of overclock and I need it without options to overclock that what I need please .....if there is solution without change the kernel that will be more perfect !!!

Dear friend hasan
I don't agree with you as the stock is not the best in game for many reasons even there is some kernels work in lower then max frequency as this kernels can be more safe then the original stock ROM ...

who said stock always runs ur game at higher freq...Download onscreen performance monitor app and yu can see the difference...for NFSMW at max it takes 3 cores to run but most of the times ly 2 cores are active....also there is a file called thermald-8064.conf in /system/etc which can be used to underclock the core to 1026 mhz which applies to all cores....If yu knw how to mod the stock rom for use everything is possible..also remember stock kernels are more safe than any custom kernels...may be it applies to ly LG devices fa sure...
No

Dear hasan
I thing there is miss understand I didn't mean that the stock kernel work at the max power but what I want to say that we must know that some developers can do good work even more better then some company's . CM is good example and even some company push customer to use non stock ROM with there weak support and update...
.... Using CM on your Optimus G let you make sure that the stock ROM is sooo bad behind it,,, I was thing different before ..
Hhhh
You let me lose my question friends any idea about kernel ???

@ramiab8,if you think an unofficial rom is better than the firmware lg provided,thrn why do you have these issues? Your post should be ignored from start,because no one will support you for a custom rom. There are so many things that could go wrong on cm/pa/aosp/aokp roms... and you have no idea what are you talking about. Could you tell me how does cm "let behind stock so bad?" For bigger results in benchmarks?who gives a crap about tests?I tried all custom roms out there,didn't missed one,but in the end i got back to stock. Why?well,for all lg features,for a stable firmware that don't crash on me when i least expect. True,it's a modded stock,but it's way better than any aosp. I play alot of games,i never encountered the slightest issues so far.

Indeed LG did a very good job in terms of gaming performance on android 4.1. Nevertheless it can be even better. I have never had those problems on CM10.2 nor on CM11. All mentioned games are running lagless, without reducing my display-brightness
maybe you can try again with another kernel?

Dear kimitza i thing that you don't know what you are talking about at all !!!! first everyone can have issues in original ROM and non stock ROM (you never heard about that !!!!) nothing can be complete be I SAID more better that is totally different !!! i thing you have no idea about what i am saying !!! and even you are talking about benchmarks !!! i didn't say any word about benchmark!!! even i didn't trust them i only trust the real use (did you ever heard about real using or not !!!) i am very hard user i find many disappointing in using the stock and these things i didn't find them in CM !!! (before i was thing like you but after test i found that is wrong) maybe as normal user you can find stock more better for you !!! if you are happy in LG features i find them like baby features!!! at the end i asked question but you are not able to answer me !!! if you thing that what i say not right for you don't answer me at all and don't try to give me lesson in something i know more better then many others !!!
Boing! Dude try latest version of Vanir 4.3.1. Thinks its the best performing aosp rom for our phone. And they're still updating, not like cm. MC4 awesome, A8 on highest settings also really good.
why did you bought a branded phone?to flash aosp based rom on it?why didn't you bought a nexus?it has vanilla on it,no "baby features". Then you wouldn't complain of laggy games on custom roms.I see what kind of power user you are ...I just don't understand how could someone complain about anything on a custom rom,without realising it's not the phone,it's the software with issues.Again, a power user would know the differences,but....what do i know?i'm a total newbie.

(((Then you wouldn't complain of laggy games on custom roms.I see what kind of power user you are ))))
i know what i am ,,, and i don't want any one to tell me what i am then i said i have problems in games i didn't say lag's at all !!! you thing that the problems in games is only lags !!! are you sure that you use mobiles at all !!! i see how much you know about mobiles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then asking is shortcut to many things friend if you don't know !!!
(((I just don't understand how could someone complain about anything on a custom rom ,,,without realising it's not the phone,it's the software with issues.Again, a power user would know the differences)))
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you don't hear that many custom ROM developers ask about any issues even in games i see that you know well !!! i will let you told somebody else about your fantastic ideas, but for me i need answer from someone who really know what he said !!! not just talking words without meanings at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks cyraxx84 i will see that one ,,,
ok...i give up...you are right...a custom rom will always be better than stock...i respect the devs for their work, i supported the asylum project(this i'm very fond of,but i supported many more) both here and galaxy note,even donate. But i'm realistic. I realize a code made from scraps will never be better than the official one. simple as that. Look more into it mr "power user" and learn how things work before making affirmations. Oh,and the font you used,yea...very mature .anyway...case closed...
