i would already have rooted, and installed a custom 2.3 rom

only you know how strong your aversion to rooting is, and imo
that is the deciding factor. i've been rooted for a year np, and
from what i read, there are many repair shops that don't check...

To do the fix it includes: Rooting my phone, downloading a kernel and inputting some run commands which will make it run faster and fix the screen bug though it will run on 2.2

Or w8 1 month till 2.3 comes out which SHOULD fix the bug and increase performance all round.

Well set my sights on the LG G2x, should be picking it up within the next two weeks.

Will report back with details on the Nvidia dual core processor and the whole Nvidia gaming they are packaging.

Wish I had a DLNA HDTV streaming from the phone would be sick!

My thoughts on a performance increase when an upgrade is around the corner? One month is a long time. Between my phone and my gtab, I have flashed 5-6 different combinations of roms and kernels...in the last 2 weeks. I tried 2.3.3 on the grab, but went back to froyo. I would not wait. Beware only of this...once you get the hang of it, man, you'll be a flashing fool.

Also think about what happens if they have to extend that "one month." Next thing, its Christmas, and you want a new phone!

The support is out there, people have worked their butts off to deliver a solution, use it!

Happy flashing!

Edit

You already have root? You could have applied the kernel and scripts in the time in took me to type this post.
And let me clarify why I didn't keep GB on the tab...no hardware acceleration with GB or honeycomb yet...talk about a fps hit.

So currently with my phone atm on 2.2 there is a bug when playing 3d games that when you touch the screen cpu goes to 100% and fps is taken away. There is a rom now on 2.2 that will fix this and OC my cpu.

Or i wait 1 month for GB and it will fix the problem. Which one do i choose?

Guys for some reason after changing my password for my gmail account, I can no longer login to gmail on my phone. I put in the correct password (that logs me into gmail on my PC) over and over and each time it just does a brief Authenticating for a split second and then goes away.

This prohibits me from gaining access to the Droid App Store.

Last thing I remember doing was getting the Google Authenticator App (got it from the App Store). After that its logged me out of gmail, for good. I'm think I must have had the password change while I got it, but I can't recall.

What could be wrong?

The good thing about these phones is that they are very very hard to brick. Just as long as you make a nandroid back-up of your current rom before flashing a new one & don't bork your recovery everything will go ok.

Hmm... with talk like that I think I may be ready to start adventuring with my phone in a few days time

 

[t_ski]

Got the Android 2.2.2 update on my Ally yesterday, and the phone seems to be running quite a bit smoother.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Been running Chevyno1's Simply Stunning 5.2w/patch on my D1 lately. Trying something new over Ultimate Droid. Something new is always a plus. Noticed "out of the box" it plays really well, i installed imoseyon's memory scripts which helps with the launcher redraws & what little lag was there is now gone. Very nice I will add. I might be moving back to ultimate Droid though.

Which phone you got?

Never thought I would see the day. I noticed going from stock 2.1 to 2.2.2 OTA before installing a cooked rom on my D1 it helped ALOT!

Android 2.2 will be faster because of the Dalvik JIT thing.

 

[1freedude]

Aphex ...check your sync settings. I would erase the current one and redo it.

 

[Techtu]

Which phone you got?

nothing too special but it suites me well, Samsung Galaxy Apollo.

Just curious; Is it part of the Galaxy 3 series? I think model number is i5801. If so you may want to read this over

[Techtu]

That is exactly what it is - Galaxy 3 (apollo), kind of think of it like "Socket A" which is also known as "Socket 462" (an old CPU socket but I couldn't think of another right now).

Now is the part what confuses me, my phone is on the Orange network but the model of my phone is the i5800 but Orange also have their own branded version of the Apollo (3) which is known as the i5801. So why don't I have the i5801 I have no idea but on the upside I do have de-branded phone - The downside is that apparently there is an official Froyo update via Samsung Kies but for Orange users only (which I am but just don't have the i5801 model).

I know exactly which phone it is then. Upon reading it looks as though you can use SuperOneClick method. After running/rooting with SOC, download Busybox installer from the Market and get the latest.

Here's a nice little subforum to run through

Are you still running a custom ROM Dave?

I was running Darky's Rom 10 RC3 but I didn't have a working mobile data network so I went to stock 2.3.3 for a while, now on GoaTrip 1.8 but I don't like it so I'm going to check out Darky 10 RC6

 

[Techtu]

@Jr (or anyone with the knowledge) would this firmware be alright? Looks pretty safe to me but I haven't a clue in all honesty, they say they are "stock firmware's" which obviously means an official update so yeah... thats good right?

 

[pantherx12]

Still can't find easy to follow instructions for rooting my phone : [

So instead, recommend me apps.

Mostly I've been messing about with photography apps and stupid games.

Anything useful worth downloading? And free just for now.

have you tried the rain apps? im sorry idk the current one, but they go "yellowra1n, greenra1n, etc" check xda-dev

a good free app for keeping a task list, is taskos. easy, intuitive, and syncs with a google calendar.
also sms scheduler will delay sending a text - like if it's early am so you have to wait but you don't want to forget, just schedule it to send later.

I know you asked for free but i've got a few paid ones i highly recommend.:
tasker. it is a necessity, best app for android. i cant do it justice, so read on it
extended controls - create custom toggle widgets, for most settings on your phone.
wolfram alpha- math search engine, super powerful and fun
sms2pc - allows you to send/recieve txts from your pc, through your phone.
robo defense - awesome tower defense game

so yeah, i know there are good free apps, but i have found that to be truly impressed
i have to spend a few bucks, happily though in most cases

@Panther

Battery life widget
What phone?

@MoonPig

Metamorph req's root and can seriously destroy your current rom. ALWAYS BACKUP WITH NANDROID BEFORE MESSING WITH IT!

@TechTu

What's your current firmware build?

Read research read again and then read once more. Can never be safe with messing around with this stuff.

Also upon looking and reading double check to see if this is compatible with 5801's cause this rom looks astounding

[Techtu]

I don't have the i5801 though, even though I'm on Orange I somehow have the i5800 (de-branded - no Orange software appears to be on the phone in any way from what I can tell).
