Hello, I was willing to step in Android, as I like the phones from Samsung, was to look into the Galaxy 5 I5500 already offering a good cost-benefit, but I came across a question, Android will have updates for this unit?
Hello! Yes, there is a forecast update 5 Galaxy for the month of December. The programming is that Android 2.2 (Froyo) is available in December.

look at the other thread of cyanogenmod 7 development for Samsung Galaxy 5 device)
Since I'm a developer of the Cyanogen port for this phone, let me answer:
Until the major bugs are fixed, we recommend you use Froyo. However, you will probably enjoy testing Cyanogen 7 for a day or so, if you can forgive the bugs.

In my current ROM - Indic font rendering is not working properly. I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf in font folder. It is having right font now, however Conjuncts are not working. Any idea about that..
Also is it taken care in Cyanogen 7
CyanogenMod
I'm using the subpsyke's CyanogenMod and it's really good. A little slow but whatever
I recommend CyanogenMod 7.1 hotfix 1.4 .. is f***ing stable and works fast....I like this very much....ADW Launcher is incredible.I like that the menu was changed from that page format to grid...I got a lot of apps and games and they works fine.
Cyangen mod
i use Cyanogen Mod 7,1, and has overclocked my phone to 768mhz.
Its a new phone, me like it now.
I would definitly choose Cyanogen over original rom.

[Q] Android 2.3.6 for Galaxy S2?

Hi Guys,
Terrible newbie question here; I have searched briefly but haven't found an answer.
Is Android 2.3.6 available for the Galaxy S2? I'm still on 2.3.3 and am bored of waiting for OTA updates.
I've seen that there is a 2.3.5 ROM available here on these forums but don't see the point in upgrading to that now then 2.3.6 is out...
Can anyone help me with my question for up-to-dateness?
Thanks.
2.3.4 just released today in some Nordic countries, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269607. Then 2.3.5, 2.3.6...
So why did you search about 2.3.6? Update to 2.3.4 first!

I was just going by Wikipedia which says the current Android version is 2.3.6....
Is there any indication from Samsung when they'll be pushing out 2.3.4 to the UK devices?
I would love to get a basic installation really without all of the Samsung crap on it. :\

Actually the current Android version is 2.3.7 for NFC capable devices, stop thinking about official 2.3.6, they barely launched official 2.3.4 for northern europe.
I'm in Spain southern Europe and still no 2.3.4. But I have had a few 2.3.3 updates which is fine by me. I love this phone.

stupid question our device is NFC capable isnt it? and well even if it is we dont have that over here in the UK anyway the NFC spots were to use it

Nope, european version doesn't have NFC, only korean and an american version if i'm not mistaking.
Just for future references, Google releases new Android OS versions, it first shows up in Nexus Phones. Then, manufacturers need to get the lastest OS to build their new ROM around it with their own skin/theme. This typically takes couple months and then a new ROM leaked or released. So, typically you will see a new Samsung ROM about 6 months later. You can't download or install Android OS directly. You have to wait for OEM to built it.

I advice you, if you want a stock rom, flash XWKJ3 2.3.5, is the best firmware for SGS2..

[Q] Which is Better GB or ICS?

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 having Gingerbread FIrmware XXKG3
i m new to android. i want to know is ICS is better then Gingerbread,
if yes, can any1 provide me official latest firmware of ICS which doesnt contacin any bugs.
i saw in some forum that some negative review abt camera n bettery life in ICS, please clear me that ICS is better option or GB.
and please give me Latest Official ICS firmware which doesnt contain any bugs for my Galaxy S2
thankyou
Froyo pawns them both!
There is NO official ICS. Like the rest of the world we have to wait until this is officially available.
Expermiment with the beta's if you like but MAKE SURE you READ everything and know how to get out of sticky situations.
Stick with GB.
GB works ICS works in parts .
But ICS is beloved of noobs that dont have a clue and choose to flash a buggy beta test rom as their first ever flash and then cry help .
Their is no official only leaked buggy beta test builds and some custom roms based on that leak . Easy to find just search the forum .
jje
Palm OS. 10 c
For now GB is better but when offical ics arrives it will be way more better

[Q] CM9 on Samsung GT-I9070 Galaxy S Advance

Will SGSA ever get CM9 or ICS ROMs?
Thanks!!!
It surely will - in Q4 2012, Samsung will release official ICS for S Advance - it's a matter of time when devs will make custom ROMs, such as CM9
I heard it would skip ICS and go directly to JB...
Yes, it will get JB.
List on TechCrunch (look at the end of the article)
tissues ntiaxta
Dat info made me happy ;] Anyway - Samsung wrote 'Q4 20120', so it'll be released somewhere before 2013.

[Q] need tamil fonts display on webpages on galaxy S2 with 2.3.6

Hello everybody,
I bought galaxy s2 before two days..
As I found various bugs, lags and irritating inbuilt ICS, I downgraded my galaxy s2 from ICS to gingerbread 2.3.6.
Now everything is perfect and stable.
But while browsing Tamil sites, there are irregular display of tamil fonts.
Earlier I used galaxy S advance which is gingerbread 2.3.6, having no issues all Indian regional languages support font display...
I think the problem for this is gingerbread 2.3.6 updated for galaxy S2 was on Dec 2012.
Gingerbread 2.3.6 for Galaxy S advance is the latest update (Probably on may 2012).
This is the reason for imperfect rendering of tamil and other indian regional laguages support on web browser.
1 .Now What Can I do to display indian regional languages (Especially tamil fonts) support for web browser on Gingerbread 2.3.6 galaxy S2?
2 .Do anyone have the system fonts folder of galaxy S advance in order to put them in galaxy S2 system fonts folder (after rooting)?
Or Can anyone give system fonts for galaxy S2 ICS?
Will this method work perfectly by replacing system fonts?
Have anybody tried this?
3 .Or what should I do for perfect display of tamil fonts in web browser in GB 2.3.6 Galaxy S2.
Because I dont like Inbuilt ICS anymore.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
(I also tried the last updated firmware UK Orange 2.3.6 for galaxy S2 which was April 2012. There are no issues on display tamil fonts, all are perfect.But It seems completely designed for the Orange mobile for UK)

Yes, I know S2 ics supports native regional langauges...
But I dont like ics...because many apps do not work on ics and laggy too..
So I want to stay with gingerbread with native language support.
(In galaxy s advance with 2.3.6, all indian languages are well rendering in browser and other apps.)
I am asking why the same can not be acheived in s2 with 2.3.6?
I want to know which parts of a rom involve for this fonts display?
BecauseI just collected system/fonts file from ics rom and put into gb system/fonts and rebooted.
No improvement.
I want to know what should be done for this?
