Hi,
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
Is there anyone who also has the I9070 and can give me any suggestion?
I am a bit worried about development: since our beloved I8150 is much more widespread, there's a lot more here than for the I9070, but it's just probably a matter of time... hopefully!
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, thank you very much.
I have a friend who uses I9010. Although it is good from spec, and bigger screen.. But well, XDA has only few devs. Seems it is a bit minus points since many of 'em were stock-modded.
€200 off-contract? Cheap..

Thanks for your answer.
I don't understand what you mean by "seems it is a bit minus points since many of them were stock-modded", may you please clarify that?
Re the price: 200€ off-contract, yes.
I've been watching this phone since last year and the best offers I found were 250€ at the end of November 2012, 230€ now in most of the shops. A local supermarket is going to sell it for 200€ in the next days.
So the price doesn't go down fast, but slowly it does!

Many of those ROMs were not pure AOSP/CM-based and just stock, with some mods/changes, so maybe you may expect 'bloatwares', including that useless apps etc. Well there is actually CM10.1 but it is not that reliable since mostly it is for hi-level devs (as you can see there are many bugs there including the Phone.apk (that is for the calls) so it is impossible to make calls), the BT, the Wi-Fi if I'm not mistaken. But well if you can stand that it's yours.
Also, I think the newest S4 will fit. Well its announcement is still on March 14th (15th GMT+7, if it is announced at evening in NY). And I don't think if the price would be another 200 Euros off-contract.
Again, it is your privilege to buy a new phone and leave the other. So, choose it wisely.
Maybe you can post this question to the S Advance forum so that the user of that phone can share their experience with you

I see, thanks for the info.
Well, surely CM10.0 is not usable at this development stage... but it will probably in the future, hopefully soon!
From what you write, I got the impression that Galaxy S Advance does not (and will not?) have so much development/ROMs/etc. as for our beloved Wonder...

Yep, I'm not interested in high-end devices, my budget being around 200€.
That's why Galaxy W is good for me, it does what I need for a reasonable price, imho.

That's clear.
I won't leave my Wonder completely though, since it will stay in my family.

Thanks for your suggestion, I did that already, just trying to get as much feedback as possible from both Galaxy W and S users.

Well, my friend has a I9010. In fact, I9010 *did not* receive ICS. But it did receive official JB (4.1) update.

R: Samsung Galaxy W I8150 vs Galaxy S Advance I9070
Anyway a bugged cm is long way better than a stock Samsung rom. When you install a cm rom is like buying a new phone. Maybe w with cm is better than s stock...

You only say this only because you have that phone. You must be OBJECTIVE and not SUBJECTIVE.
Do you have tried this phone? No, how you can say that?

actually I would recommend you to buy S advance.
with the JB update, the phone is really smooth even without any custom rom or tweak.
But the only big problem is there is not much special tweaks and custom rom available for S advance. So when you are bored of stock S advance, there's nothing you can do unlike our lovely W with so many awesome devs.
Both phones have their own pros and cons. It's up to you.
Samsung Galaxy W Vs Samsung Galaxy S Advance = DRAW :highfive:
I do not know anything about s advance but i'm so in love at first sight with my wonder. Before bought wonder i do some search and comparing but i dont know that our lovely wonder have so many cusroms , mods , tweaks and kernel developed by many brilliant devs. And i never feel regret to bought wonder . This phone is just awesome , and completely helpful

Surely Wonder has a lot more mods, roms, etc. available.
However, I also had a chance to try the S Advance and I must say it's much more comfortable just for the slightly bigger screen. The keyboard is easier, and the GPS works perfectly in Advance whereas in my Wonder takes ages to get the fix or loses it every minute....
All in all, if I had to buy a new phone, between the 2 I'd go for the Advance I think.
I choose wonder because wonder is my device

Well sorry bro ... The thing about nexus people is that we're hardcore android purists and hate adulterated versions of android. These people never get enough of a faster better aosp. They sell one nexus and buy the next nexus. Looks the same works the same. But it's latest nexus. So dude if your looking for skins You bought the wrong device bro.

Hmm....thanks .... May be I'll wait till android 4.3 comes out and will see how things will turn out

I actually agree with the OP.
When I bought this phone I thought there was going to be multiple Ver of android available to us since it's a developer phone. The themes make up for it though.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Sounds very much like a best rom thread hence it's closure.
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
Question: I'm strongly leaning towards picking up this 2nd-Gen Nexus 7 next week.. ( I have never owned the 1st-Gen ) and I know the 2nd-Gen is shipping with Android 4.3.. Since this is still Asus with upgraded internals, Will these 4.2.2 ROMS run on the 2nd-Gen? I know it's only a matter of time before 4.3 is ripped apart and reborn as Custom ROMS but I was curious if anyone thinks 4.2.2 would boot..
Thanks for any answers anyone can provide.. :good:
If these said ROMs were ported then maybe. Although I doubt it because 4.3 is better in pretty much every way so what's the point. 4.2.2 software made for the Tegra Nexus 7 won't boot on the newer architecture in the 2nd gen model (Snapdragon S4 CPU).

I think not. Wait for custom roms for the 7² to appear, which they will pretty soon I guess.
But you should definitely go for the new N7, it looks so much sweeter than the 1st gen...
direct ROM flashes Wont work, but if someone ported it over, I dont see why not. but that would probably take just as much time as it would to merge the features to 4.3 so no one will do it.

For which update you are waiting?
Take a look to the dev section, you will find the NoleKat Rom which is a KitKat Port from the SM-T211 .This one is really stable a good for the daily use with agreat battery life.

Yes bro. Im using nolekat rom for awhile now. What i was saying was the original kitkat firmware from samsung so developers can make custom roms out of it. Not ported from another device. I think this is a very god rom, the nolekat rom. I have only one problem in nolekat rom, the videoplayer cant find my tv for casting. It was noted by gr8nole already. I hope he finds a fix.
I'm kind of into that theme. A lot. Now I just want to know if anyone can port that theme to Note 10.1 2014. That would be awesome. Thanks.

That most likely wont happen as not many devs have this tablet. There use to be a lot of devs in the beginning but the majority have moved on to other devices. Like with the p600 version we hardly have anyone left and are stuck with old roms.
I personally think this is still the best tablet out there and will remain so for a while unless Samsung releases a new note tablet version and if that happens then they will most likely Support the Samsung theme store.
