This thread is aimed to help people like me who either own an Galaxy S2 I9100 or Galaxy S2 I9100G to compare and also to evaluate whether a switch to the other version would make sense.
My main problem is that I own an internation SGS2 which runs with the Exynos SoC but I kinda dislike stock Samsung crapware. The firmares out there are not as flexible and smooth as AOSP firmwares such as CM9.
Now the question is should I (or anyone with the same "problem") consider getting the G version of the SGS2.
There are several pros and cons on both sides:
I9100 International:
+Processor is faster than in G
+Display is slightly better (source: chip.de)
+Firmware gets updated on a regular basis
+Community is bigger
+...?
-Phone heats up more than the G (source: chip.de)
-Batterylife is worse than G (source: chip.de)
-Exynos closed source crap (hwcomposer broken on JB, memleaks, workarounds to make it work etc.....) <-- biggest downturn for devs to make the device make use of all its power!
-...?
I9100G:
+Batterylife is better (source: chip.de)
+No heating problems
+OMAP SoC <-- dev friendly (codeworkx recommendation: get a OMAP device the next time )
+All features the internation SGS2 has
+...?
-Smaller Community (a lot of ports but no "real" development - except cm9/10)
-Processor is weaker (source: chip.de)
-Display is worse (source: chip.de)
-....?
There is no way to get a Galaxy nexus, cause of lack of sdcard support.
The reason why I actually started thinking about this is that CM10 is already in nightly status and has working hwcomposer for the I9100G.
Questions to be answered
1. Is it worth to "downgrade"?
2. Which one is better for future?
3. Is Exynos so much better than OMAP in questions of performance?
4. Which one is smoother at the end and has an overall better AOSP experience?
other thread is more or less dead and this thread here is in consideration of Jelly Bean and CM10 for both versions.
This one here is to elaborate whether triple buffer and vsync and working hwcomposer (JB features working on G) make the cons of the G more or less obsolete. Its not only about the raw hardware info its about the user experience and the availability of future AOSP support.

If N7000 get JB and we don't it's still possible for us (i9100) to get JB working, it's not as big difference in hardware as with i9300.
I would suggest N7000 for upgrade instead Galaxy Nexus. IMO i9100g "dev friendly SoC" is worth it, but I will stay with Exynos because performance. If you own either g or intl i9100 it's not worth changing, they seem to be same at all.

Hi
1) Can't understand question)
2) I think International
3) I haven't tested OMAP, but i9100 have good performance
4) Maybe both, but for i9100G easy make fully working AOSP rom.
Sorry for my bad english)
Previously I had G version but I got it replaced with non g
Now enjoying better S2

I've moved on to greener pastures after a mishap with my Nexus S (dropping calls, spotty Bluetooth, etc) and bought a Samsung Galaxy S II X (Hercules). Thanks to everyone on here for providing an outstanding level of support, and thanks to all of the devs who made excellent ROMs, apps, and kernels, including, but not limited to:
Matr1x
Marmite
Slim Bean (see you around, I see it's available for the Hercules)
CyanogenMOD (may also see you around on the Hercules)
AOSP/AOKP
XenonHD
NSTools
Catch you later!
See you buddy. Have a wonderful journey with you Galaxy SII.
Hello, I found a secret Display Mode hidden in a system setting. This Display Mode offers the best of 'Adaptative Display' (a not yellowish screen) and the best of modes like Amoled Photo or Basic (a not saturated screen).
Here is the main thread about this Display Mode, where you can find many tutorials and Screenshots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3101547
---------
As for now this Display Mode seems be hidden on Lollipop Touchwiz based roms, so it works on:
- Note 4 (Lollipop)
- Note 3 (Lollipop)
- Galaxy S6
Therefore it should work on the Lollipop version of these devices too:
- Note 4 EDGE
- Galaxy S5
- Galaxy S4 (not working on kitkat)
- Galaxy A3
- Galaxy ALPHA
- Galaxy Core Prime
- Galaxy Tab A
- Galaxy Tab 4
- Galaxy Note PRO 12.2 LTE
- Galaxy Tab S 8.4
- Galaxy Tab 10.5
Please if anyone can confirm it works on the above devices I would appreciate.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.
But anyway I'm the original finder of this setting, as you can see on the main thread.
While the OP here is credited with the mod, the discussion here on the topic has been going a bit longer. It seems to make more sense to have questions/comments/discussions centered in one place for S6 users, and as there isn't much in this thread yet it seems better to close this one to obtain that centralizing goal. Please use the other thread for your posting needs
Thanks!

Hope you find it useful and enjoy watching it.
Could you do a review of software interactive as in different ways to respond to emails or text messages while in another app instead of going into the native app

So here it is guys I think it is somewhat of a relevant comparison. For some weird reason geekbench 4 gave an error message for the Mi6.
So what do you think? Are there other apps that can be used to better demonstrate a speed test?
