galaxy s2 is more moddable than s3? - Galaxy S II General

dorimanx ported the 3.1 kernel to s2 while for s3 kernel is stuck at 3.0.x, and s2 has many more roms updated than s3, do you think that s2 will live also for android 5 and next kernel releases like 3.4 or 3.6?

Who gives a **** .....v'll it later in the future.

most of the patches submitted in linux kernel are for servers and desktops
but if we get support from samsung the s2 can be the next hd2 a device that refuses to die

that would be awsome. We have to pressure them

i think the last official rom from Samsung will be jb 4.2 but we will still uptodate with custom rom

i dont think soo... :cyclops:

as long as s2 users exist,developers will not stop giving as the best they got.

Isn't there a Google agreement that if the phone meets the minimum requirements for a Update then it gets it
Plus Gingerbread has not been the best rom for most phones
Froyo was the best as it had alot of development Gingerbread still needs work to fix the FC problems, They can't leave there phones like this as it will spill over to the other devices
Well, Samsung is busy on ICS, so probably no more GB firmwares.

Surely the people to ask are Samsung Technical Support, as the members of XDA do not normally have a priority information feed from Samsung.

hi guys whats up?

i want to ask you what the best rom now to samsung galaxy i 9000 //// and If you have any recommendations for lg p500 roms I would happy to take it....
That's up to your personal taste.
If you like a stable rom, try one based on gingerbread.
If you want to go with the trend,
try an ics-based rom.
What do you recommend?

He means that the era of Galaxy S GT-I9000 is OVER!
Now phones come with at least 1.2 GHZ dual core CPUS with more than 1GB amount of RAM meaning:
Better Multitasking
Faster Response
Latest Application support
Please notice:
Today, there is a big gamma of smartphones including android and windows phone devices and because of that some developers moved to other devices.
My advice:
If you want a fast and clean ROM go with stock 2.3.6 version.
Find one that suits your country and needs and install root or buy another phone.
Samsung caused a lot of frustration to many users for not including ICS support and that's why most developers focus on an ICS support and ICS ROMS are known to be buggy and glitchy (no offense meant to anyone).
I can't blame Samsung for not including an ICS port, it's true that ICS require more RAM

The ics ports are running very well on our galaxy, and if f***** ram-eating Touchwiz wouldn't be there, I'm sure Samsung would provide us with an official ics firmware.

Development slowed down since there are no updates from Sony.. I am the one who likes to work on Official ROMs as it lets u use your phone with full hardware features working with stability...
You saw how I changed an Official Sony Stock ICS ROM to a completly AOSP ROM ... let JB come in, maybe I do same with that too but only if sony releases it..
For time being I dont think there is any use working on JB ROMs as performance will be the same and the extra features are not mind blowing enough to satisfy me of working on it...
cheers..

I guess so.
coz all the GUI is taken care by the GPU.
and making it to do multiwindow will increase stress on it.
even adreno 205 scores better than SGX540.
may be we need to overclock our gpu for a decent performance.

Samsung may include a premium update with these features along or after the 4.1.2 or 4.2.x update. I'm waiting for the similar update on the s3 mini, but knowing Samsung this will take a while with the release of s4.
A large part of these "premium" features that the s2 got along with the 4.1.2 update could work on other Samsung devices like smart stay or smart rotate that are very useful on a tablet that can be used for reading ebooks. All we can do for now is wait.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat

What do you think about the new android version. In my opinion, it's great , with better UI( if the leaked photos are true) , less RAM usage and new kernel. What do you think about the S2? Will Samsung update our phone ? In my opinion Samsung will not update the S2 or the Galaxy Ace or Mini...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No they will not update our phone. And im also not too sure about new kernel. We do have dorimanx kernel which is light years ahead of most kernels... We have 3.12.rc1 while the Nexus have 3.4?
I don't thing Samsung will just think about updating the S2
It's an old device, it still an amazing device though
But updating it will not benefit Samsung
So no updates
But we still have AOSP

Huh I find no issue with 4.2.2, its the best thing yet! We have spent so much time optimzing 4.2.2 that it is so stable and usable. Fast forward to 4.3 which is much newer we have spent much less time on it so for sure it is not as good. However I dont understand which part of either these versions, 4.2.2 or 4.3 is bloated care explaining? Even if Android 4.4 has so called less RAM usage and kernel improvements it would not really matter to us. Take kernel changes for example. We can't just port AOSP code and use it for our devices correct? Remember the time when we only had official 4.0 and 4.1 was released by Google. Everybody wanted Project butter. Due to Sammy not giving us official 4.1 and its source code on time (thank god they actually gave the source code..) we would never have gotten close to full project butter experience which we still lack fully. So if Sammy does not give us what we need then we can use 4.4 without its so called perks like "less RAM usage"
Yeah 4.4 should have lower hardware requirements. However, it doesn't matter because our exynos device still lacks proper drivers. That's worsen by the fact that we currently have no Galaxy S2 devs left working on CM to port new android versions to our device
