Hello developers!
I have a question about the gingerbread update (2.3.3 & 2.3.4) on galaxy ace.
I'm using froyo 2.2.1 because of 1 thing in the gingerbread... the lock screen. It takes 2 seconds when you press any button to unlock screen to appear that's why i don't like it. And i was wondering is there any fix or anything? I don't want any custom roms or something like that.. I like stock better.
Thank you
I don't think there is a fix for it...
Gingerbread has so many advantages over froyo, so I think you should give it a try....
Actually, the lag in the lock screen is one of the features of gingerbread... Whenever you lock your phone, it goes into deep sleep... Hence It improves the battery life...
Thank you for your answer.
I have already tried it but the lock screen really bugs me :/ I know that the gingerbread is better and the performance is better you can feel it but that really bugs me like when I answer the phone or when i end the call special when i end the call or anything ...
I hope there will be a fix or something that could work this thing out.
I think it is ACE or Galaxy only. My Xperia with 2.3.3 doesn't have that annoying lockscreen delay.
Actually even with that delay, after 1 week with 2.3.4 for Ace, I still think it is better than 2.2.1.
I know that galaxy ace has this problem... but this really bugs me... like i said.
I hope that in the future there will be a fix or anything. I'm hoping for Ice cream sandwich update if it would be possible we'll see
i got Ginger 2.3.4 and works ok =)
Nope my friend who has a desire has that lock screen lag problem aswell

Gingerbread
Hi guys, so what are the "many advantages" of Gingerbread over Froyo?? I'm staying on Froyo because of all the bugs I'm hearing about ie/ screen lock, lagging, SOD, can't app2SD etc... & I haven't heard of any major add-ons. Camera/video is adequate for my needs. My carrier has said wait for 2.3.4 in UK, don't go to 2.3.3! So can somebody convince me to upgrade please? Thanx. Graham. London.

Before someone starts to throw things at me let me just explain my doubt.
As many of you I have been waiting for the update to 2.1 for a long time.
I have read most of the reviews that cover what changes from 1.6 to 2.1, but I see many people trying to revert back to 1.6.
I would just like to know if in your opinion it is worth updating an U20i to 2.1.
Thanks for your input.
i updated my x10 to android 2.1 for the sake of very good apps
So there are no unbearable bugs or drawbacks in Android 2.1 from 1.6?
So far we have 4 votes for 2.1, anyone care to explain what were the major gains or major drawbacks / problems after the update?
Keep the votes coming
there are no diffrences except the browser the base system and the skin

This almost sound as a funny answer. "There are no differences, only everything changes" hehe
Rofl, I like 2.1 now after getting it to work, wouldn't want to go back tbh.

More than one Gmail account. That was killer for my gf

rlly how much ofthe updates do u rlly use???
2.1 is useless
i want 2.2 so i can get the flash playeer
yesyes i know the stupid snapdragon
however NO MULTITOUCH in 2.1
thats an biig bug!!!!!!!
stupid SE shoud go and kill themselves
well now we know who voted against the 2.1 :=)
I should do the update tonight if I am able. Then I'll leave a comment too
My phone got slightly faster. But I updated mostly for the apps
I've just updated to 2.1 and I too note less freezes and a smoother operation. Plus I got my phone debranded and I have access to all the nice applications available on the android market.
Lets see if we can get the bootloader cracked and are able to eventually get 2.2 or even 2.3 on this wonderful device.
The only annoyance I have with 2.1 is I can't seem to get default input to stay off, something keeps reactivating it.
I´ve just bought a Vibrant Galaxy S and I was thinking in updating it to gingerbread. First I thought there was an official release since most of the galaxy s have gingerbread now but to my surprise no gb for Vibrant. After reading this forum I have come to no conclusion whether I should update to 2.3.4 by using CyanogenMOD because if I read it correct it seems:
1) that Cya 7 drains battery faster than samsung stock 2.2 rom.
2) Also, it seems that all the samsung stock apps doesn´t come with Cya7. What app does it comes with for SMS, dialing, etc?
3) Why can´t you use roms from Samfirmware.com, there´s a I9000BVJJW4 2.3.3 there, is it incompatible with Vibrant?
4) What about the Dark Rom which also features 2.3.4, what´s the main difference from cyanogen? does it comes with touchwiz?
Thank you guys.

1- yes it does. thats the catch that comes with speed and performance.
2- Yes, it comes with SMS, dialing etc. IT doesn't come with the samsung music player, but the default one that google made. You will have to flash GAPPS after CM7 to get the Market, and the other stufff.
3-I9000 is another phone. We are T959
4- i cant answer that because idk
get the revamped miui it saved this phone I was going to ditch ditch my vibrant the I discovered it along with bali kernel WAY better battery life then when I was I 2.2 rom I can't even remember which rom I was on before miui

Well I would say use TW roms mix between speed an battery aan HW browser is nice once it gets better kernel then it will be better but if u want straight battery froyo CM7 is stock so no TW its just raw speed only thing bad is that browser sucks without HW

So revamped miui will give me better battery life than froyo? is it touchwiz? any bugs (I will use GPS)?
Why gingerbread?? Its .1 more.
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
Its the same reason we were clammoring for froyo from eclair, but aside from that its the latest and greatest software, i will say that CM based roms are by far the smoothest my phone has ever been and if you are truly worried about battery life read up on the kernels you can add like bali and glitch then undervolt and you can get pretty good battery life or atleast comparable to stock. I personally get about 14-20 hours depending on my usage in a day. Typical day consists of several 100 texts 2-3 20-30 minute phone calls, maybe total 1 hour browsing and other miscellaneous use.
This is a noob question but I have not seen any answers to it yet.
I just flashed the new miui (11/1/11) on my samsung galaxy s2 at&t (i777) and all seems fine except for one detail: the touch buttons will not turn off for some reason. i checked everywhere but cant seem to fix it.
Thanks in advance
you know I wasnt paying attention to that .... until now...i would like to know this too?? i dont see a setting for it... i bet there is no way to kill it.. until maybe MIUI is official for us and not just a port? im just guessing...
and I bet that is where my battery drain is coming from.... battery has been better lately but still not as good as a touchwiz rom.... or even cyanogenmod...
Are we stuck in this 2.3.6?
I know that is almost 99% certain that we will never see ICS oficcial update for our beloved ace, but should we expect any other updates? Or this 2.3.6 that most of us have will be the last official update?
I sincerely hope NOT, that would be kind a sad ...
No point in 2.3.7 on the Ace, what else would you upgrade to?
I don'tm mind 2.3.6 but i would like if they did to ace what they did with galaxy w, where they changed lots of thing's but remained in 2.3.6
thing's like
- phone receiver
- lock screen
- Improved touchwiz
And i dint´t mind if they changed systemUI aswell!
With my Droid X I was able to use ROM Toolbox to customize everything. Now when I try, It doesn't work. Could somebody please either explain how or point me in the right direction on how to change the color scheme, battery icon, WiFi icon, signal icon, boot animation, boot logo, and anything else changeable by ROM Toolbox? Thank you ahead of time because I would really like to know how to do this!
So all of you AT&T Galaxy Note owners have no idea how to do this? Right along with me? Hopefully someone could help with this question....

Download cm9 or aokp if you want to customize
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
most of the newer ICS leaks don't allow you to do much of this customizing; the GB ROMS still allow this though..
it won't be much longer, once the "official" ics is released by sammy, things like this will be remedied
Thank you all! I appreciate it. So there is an official CM9 fully working?
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note Running ICS 4.0.4
the latest release on 5-25 pretty much works completely, just a few little quirks..you can use it for you main rom now though
im a person who likes to customize colors also .. im quite a nit-picker
I as well used rom toolbox on my droid x so I kniw what your expecting ir would like as those where good features to theme. Unfortunately it doesn't work for the note..if you are still on gingerbread try uot kitchen to build some tweaks to your current theme or rom its awesone and very very easy to use plau with alot of theming options available ..

The cm9 build here has many bugs so bad (speaker volume) very low.. I had to resort going back to my other rom..I really love cm9 rom besides the volume issues (hopefully you text more then calls) ..
Good ol days changing all the colors and what not on the Droid X....ahhhh I remember those..
Lol those were the days. I'm on stock leaked ICS latest version. Don't want CM9 if it still has all those bugs. Thanks though
