Just wondering, is it better if I set up a swap now-a-days on ICS? I heard some rumors of swap fixing low mem. issues and reboots; mainly on TexasIce's thread. Also, is it ICS that is allowing our phone to use this swap if it does? Thanks for the help guys
We could have always used swap, but it wasn't really necessary for GB. ICS ran fine without swap for me so and I would rather not use it. Try it with and without and see what works best for you.
That's just the thing. I wanted to hear what others had to say because I did not want to have to go through the whole reformatting my SD for no true reason. I have over 20 gbs I would be having to transfer back over and I would have to deal with the slow SD transfer speeds of ICS. (And yes, I know it is a bit faster with 3rd party app or via recovery mounting).

It's more than just a bit faster, my friend. With the paid version of multi-mount SD, you can hardly believe it. Lightning fast.

I havn't tried the Multi Mount but how much of a pain is it to go to the recovery and mount from there, I have a class 10 SD and recovery mounting I can get about 15-20 mb\s, but while in rom i'm limited to probably 3-4, Ill have to try out multi mount though.
Okay cool, a violin. But this isn't about Multi Mount. A bit off topic now. I'll try it and report back my findings (swap, not the app).
I have repartition with swap, tried any ICS roms, but couldn't find any different with that of no swap. Need some wider explanations, too...

With texasice's ICS ROM, before he added his reboot-fix, almost everyone faced reboots because of out-of-memory errors. Now, however, there is little to no need of a swap partition.

After trying it out, I can +1 this now. ICS seems to work the same w/out swap, no performance increase. I just brought this topic up because it was mentioned and I wanted to test the myth to see if ICS actually worked fast/stable with a swap.
Conclusion: Myth / belief busted, swap will not increase performance / stability when running ICS. Thanks guys

im going to get a vibrant, but a few questions first
is the vibrant 16 GB or 8 GB?
i noticed the vibrant removed the front cam, but added in a 6 axus gyro for 3d games, so what i was wondering, if you install firmwares for the factory phone (JG5, JM2, ect) does it mess up some settings? like offer an option for the front cam, but then crashes, or something like that. and do 3d games actually exist yet?
is the gps any better than in the i9000? and is the read/write speed any different? actually i guess you could sum that up as 'is the hardware any different?'
anything else i should know about getting the vibrant? thanks alot for any answers anyone can give
Is your Google broken?
is the vibrant 16 GB or 8 GB?
16GB internal + 2GB MicroSDHC.
do 3d games actually exist yet?
3D games look absolutely amazing on this phone. I play Asphalt and Nova all day long.
anything else i should know about getting the vibrant? thanks alot for any answers anyone can give
Just get it. I've been using Android since day 1 and I love the Vibrant.

You can have a total of 48GB using a 32GB MicroSDHC.
I don't think anyone has come out with a custom firmware yet. But the stock firmware is very good already.
im sorry, im not sure i understand you correctly, i apoligize. are you saying you still are using the firmware that came with the phone? i am aware of a quite a few firmwares, and custom firmwares available for the Galaxy S. are you saying these do not work on the Vibrant?

Some people are reporting stability and connection issues with custom roms for the i9000 Galaxy S when used on the Vibrant. You should probably wait until there are roms built specifically against the Vibrant's kernel available before trying out custom roms.

i dont care about custom roms that much, just basic roms, JG1, JG3, JG5, JF1, JF3, JF5, JM1, JM2 any of these, will they work? im googleing but cant find anything, were supposed to leave to go pick ours up in a few minutes, i need to know before i go buy it

No. 14GB for storage. 2 GB for app downloads. That's 16GB total on the phone itself. And then the 2GB external SD card for good measure.

You cant get more ram than what the phone already has. If you want to clear out more memory, move your apps to the sd card, or flash a rom that has a smaller footprint.

two best options. have u removed bloat from those roms? ive run across some devs still bloat roms with other apps that i dont use or need. same with it being a sense rom some sense stuff can be deleted. in doing so some background services should be gone and free up ram. anywho my two cents
and what rom? most of team nocturnals threads are not very legible to me. i like simple op over flashy lol
and maybe just try a new rom? u'd be surprised
What about swap? When you partition your sd can't you use swap as an extension to ram incase it runs low when using apps that use a lot of RAM????
Edit: if your not on shooter nightly 1.0 I highly recommend you flash it Im on it and no memory problems

I just managed to get ICS on my SII! Waited for so long and a little disapointed... There isn't that much of a difference from what I can see.
What were you expecting?
ICS is good as a secondary rom. This goes for official samsung releases as well as cm9/aosp/aokp.
Stick with gingerbread. It's still the best.

I'm not going to compare AOSP/AOKP roms with Samsung ICS. They are a joke compared to what you get in a stock samsung firmware.
Comparing samsung ics and gb... GB has less gestures and small polished features (contacts, dialer) however it offers the best browser on any phone. As a comparison, install flash player and open up youtube.com, scroll down and switch to the desktop version. Compare scrolling. zooming in. Now try to play a video using the browser. GB is super smooth never lags. Same goes with big websites that have lots of ads and flash content.
GB never force closes. It's super stable. It doesn't eat as much battery with screen on. It doesn't have the data usage info, nor the fancy task switching.
Also the stock samsung gallery is awful compared to what you get in aosp ics...
However, overall I rate it the highest for stability, functionality and great battery life. I'm sorry but ICS just doesn't cut it for me. To be honest I wish they would put out an anniversary gingerbread build with everything maxed out (like they do for the I9001 for example).
I'm not hating on ics. It's a step forward, it's just it hasn't reached the level of GB in terms of daily usage. Maybe one day.
if it wasnt for this free community android would be a mess or the manufacturers may feel obliged to make a better rom,
when you think about it samsung must use thier Android phones stock i wonder if they think its sufficient
go with hydrog3n-ICS ROM

This is the way it is in 4.2 onward. Google is unifying the look so it functions the same no matter what screen size (like everyone's favorite fruity rounded rectangles). It's Matias Duarte's vision for the UI. Personally, I have no real issues with it, and I'm sure CM or AOKP will bring back the old functionality.
I read somewhere that android 4.2 changes something in the render script. I know that this changes somehow the performance of 3d, does someone knows if this can relate to our egl leak? If yes, how does it affect performance and the random reboots we have been having?
Thank you for the efford random blame, as always I love your work, and I would donate if my stupid wall art debit card would play well with PayPal. As soon as I get another debit card you and the amazing quarx are going to have a beer from me.

Did I miss something? Did you release another preview build tonight? I was just going to report that Storage FCs but I see you already know that. I also had an issue with USB MTP connection, it also FCs and fails to connect to the PC. Well, just finished d/l the file in this thread and it does indeed look new, is USB MTP now working? Thanks.

I never heard anything. For the time being I've built the CM10 and ported the AOKP framework.
CM10 is going to final builds soon, and AOKP has already stopped at M1, so once this gets all ironed out there won't really be any changes. Future updates will address bugs only until I can figure out the Git myself and add the Camera.

I had no problems charging as mtp was already checked off from my previous install of JC Sullins' preview CM10. Matter of fact, if you plug into usb, even though it won't connect you can then tap usb connected from notifications and see whether mtp is checked off or not and check if needed.
