As the title goes, do the 2GB RAM version have the screen re-draw and other system wide lag like the 1GB version?
screen re-draw has been fix from the latest firmware ALF6, RAM is not the issue of the re-draws
Has ALF6 been officially released yet? Is it a worldwide firmware?
I'm unbranded in the UK. I'm on ALF2 with no update available.
Well I'm using Omega 6.0 which has the ALF6 firmware. You can just flash the Latest Official stock firmware which ALF6 here (if you don't want any custom rom):

@bordikun
Could you please tell me what are the improvements of the new Software update? Thanks
Can't really tell what exactly change/improved, don't know where to look for "changelog" but the main thing is that the re-draws are gone 99%. did not experience it since using ALF6
@bordikun - Thanks kabayan, I would like also to ask if you encounter the copy/paste crashing after updating to latest firmware?

I bought the phone in January sim free, for full price from my local mobile phone store. It is running stock android 2.3.4 (build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4). Its been in the online news a lot that ICS would be available by the end of Q1 but still, i am unable to update. I get a message saying my firmware is the latest available.
I live in New Zealand and as far as i understand you (USA) have ICS but what about for me? I'm assuming my phone is the international version so i thought i would have the update by now.
So does anyone know the full story?
Thanks
ICS hasn't been released by any of the NZ telcos yet (I checked with Checkfus). You can pretty much run any ICS stock (or custom for that matter) rom you want. Lots of Odin (mainly stock roms) & CWM flashable (mainly custom) roms on here (search the development sections).
One thing to bear in mind if you do flash a stock ICS rom from another region tho, you may have problems getting updates via Kies in future. If that happens, you'd need to flash a stock rom for your region in order to get Kies updates again. Or you could do what the majority of people on here do, bypass Kies completely (horrible excuse for software) & flash all your roms manually.
As long as you've got an I9100 or I9100T you can flash any firmware for these phones.
Fellow Kiwi here mate, just flash any ics rom thru odin. I've had no issues whatsoever, the latest Lp7 rom with speedmod kernel is the best I've had. You wont regret it.
I'm with telecom, they wont update anything quickly at all.
Hope this helps your decision
Anyone else facing the same problem on this version? Any solutions ? Just removed the orange imm76d.i9300bvblg2 rom and installed the unbranded latest uk XXBLG8 rom which is now giving this error on kies. Used to work fine on the orange rom. Mobile is unrooted and stock rom is flashed.
I think that the leaks can't be upgraded by kies. you should install the latest JB rom using odin
I know the leaks can't be upgraded. I meant the official updates.
sorry, i thought it was LI8 (the last leak before poland official JB)
to upgrade, you would need to have the poland CSC, it can be changed *#272*your_IMEI#
then you have to select the poland CSC:XEO
first BACKUP in the external SD because doing this you would lose everything in the internal SD (including tithanium backups)
sorry for my english
Please read my post. Im not looking to go to JB as there is no UK version and its not fully stable. I have the latest XXBLG8 uk version and was looking at the official updates for this version. Thanks
you can not get official update because your product code does not maches your rom.
You have to stick with ODIN or Use orignal orange rom.

It was due to the csc being KOR. Once i changed this to BTU the problem was resolved. Even though the rom was a BTU rom in the first place. Thanks for your help anyway.
Hey Guys,
I am in a confusion whether to Install Russian Version of Kitkat 4.4.2 Update on my Indian Version S4 Mini GT-i9192.
My Extact doubts are..
1. Whats the difference in countrywise updates? Additional/Exempted features?
2. What is CSC thing in an OS? I heard from someone about countrywise CSC.. I have seen the file while Flashing via ODIN.. if I replace Indian CSC via ODIN on Russian version, will I get future updates of official Indian Version?
3. If not, Is it possible to receive future official updates for Russian version while I am sitting in India?
Kindly clear my doubts.
Thanks in advance

I'm currently using the generic AU firmware and i want to know which countries firmware has the fastest and "stable" updates to the device.
And just a few random questions regarding the firmware that you guys are using on your devices:
- Why have you opted to use that firmware for your device?
- What variations in software did you guys notice when you flashed another countries firmware?( eg. the different bloat/preinstalled software on that specific countries firmware)
- Did you see a drastic change in performance when you jumped to another countries z2 firmware ( this question is in regards to .314 to.314 not .55 to .314 etc)
- Why did you opt to use the stock firmware that you received with your device and instead of flashing another countries firmware?
- From what i heard using the flashtool to flash another countries firmware doesn't void you warranty, is this true?
I'm merely interested because i want to have the best experience and have the latest updates as fast as possible without the need to continuously flash different firmwares to get the latest experience.
.314 ftf should be same everywhere except for baseband...I am using 314 after rooting, removing some bloat and unrooting...battery life is amazing... Easy 2 days without charge

Why did you unroot again?
I prefer it that way...that way I am not accidentally deleting system files from ES file Explorer and also getting rid of files and bits leftover by the root exploit (which are by definition viral in nature ) just makes me feel more secure....
Generic German seems to provide quite regular firmware updates and overall has great stability.

I believe there is a bug that affect all .314 FW - those firmware have trouble getting OTA. Did you receive updates on the AU .314 software?
Flashed Generic German 314 last night. Working very smooth. Hope i will still receive OTA updates. But will wait and see about that.

That's a thread I made, but unfortunately no one has come up with a solution. It also might be a server side error.
I'll keep you posted if I find something out.
EDIT: I just quickly flashed the AU FW, but still no go. If you revert to previous firmware (.402), all updates are displayed properly. That's an obvious glitch with the new FW and all regions are affected.

Hi guys and devs, I have few questions for you about my S9+ exynos.
It was precedently branded (TIM), but now It is without brand (I used odin to flash no branded stock firmware). I saw that now after the last update (August patch), my phone has some lag (stuttering) in the UI. Could be the no brand firmware? I know that the processor is the same, but I have rooted my phone to try some Rom and kernel, and with other ROMs it has no lag. And also with custom kernel, stock firmware no branded it lags, but other ROMs don't lag. Now, a download from sam mobile is long as 2 years of my life, I could try branded Rom, but I would like to know if someone knows already the answer.
