Hi All,
I have a Samsung galaxy R, i Think i have done a big mistake. i should go for SII but i decided to buy Galaxy R.. dont know why... its approx 6-7 month old now.
so i decided to have some fun with Galaxy R..
First: Dual Boot Galaxy R
Android Vs Android
Android Vs Windows
so, is there any way to make Galaxy R dual boot. if yes then how?
i saw some people in android group who put 2 custom os in S2 (dual boot)
i think we also can do that. but i dont knw, wait for experts reply

and BTW, good night, have to sleep
I'm sure-ish you can port Android to Windows but not the other way around.
Why was this Q & A thread started in the Android Dev section ?
Use the General section for such threads, post in the Dev section only if you know how to dual boot Galaxy R & not the other way around.
Oops.. Looks like you've done another big mistake..
Lol.. Relax buddy, SGR is a great phone for its price, we're just waiting to unlock it's full potential. So far I've not come across anyone dual booting SGR, do share if you find out how it's done
From my galaxy R
If the galaxy r is a great mistake for u, better u sell it and buy something else.

Be Proud Coz You own, Galaxy R, which is LIMITED EDITION Phone
Do not sell a Galaxy R except for limited support there are huge advantages when it comes to sound, as it has a wolfson dac audio chip which the s2 doesn't have
Secondly the screen on the S2 is better but when it comes to life the super amoled plus or anything that is amoled suffers from burn in which is only solved by changing the display(Which is expensive as well )
So, I would suggest u all to stay with R, I want to get a R as well. Can't find one now.
Btw Please post these queries in Q&A or General
Cheers

yes the galaxy r have many advantages over s2 but when it comes to dev support we are far far behind than s2.
btw if u r interested in buying galaxy r check the ebay, olx u can find a used or new galaxy r easily there.
also brand new galaxy r is available at saholic. but price is lil bit high 22740 INR. (~410 USD).

We can install 2 rom's at a time, i have seen Galaxy S2 with that,
just like Win7 and Win XP
the dual boot thing is tough job, and i dont think any dev is interested in porting that thing to SGR. and our devs have many important unfinished task than this. like CM, linux 3.x kernel, miui, etc.

SAMOLED+ is much nicer for me, but I must admit that lighter SLCD is much more useful on sunny days. Sometimes it's really hard to see something on this dark screen. But the problem you mentioned is not that common so I wouldn't overreact. Remember that it's very rarely that somebody keeps its smartphone for longer timethan 2 years. 2-3 years for SAMOLED+ is generally not a problem.
My friend cdesai is making dual-boot for the GTab , maybe we could see from there

Why would you install Windows Phone instead of Android? The latter is much better I think.

Hi friends,
I was thinking of buying Galaxy R. But wanted your review..How is this phone? and why very less development in this forum? I heard it will get Official ICS update in mid 2012..but over all would you guys recommend me this phone?
how is the battery life?
Would you guys recommend me this phone over SE neo V or xperia pro?
is it worth going for this phone for its dual core and nvidia GPU?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You
There are already few similar threads on previous pages of this section.
Thanks but its been many days since anyone asked such question
and also now there r more users hence more view on this phone
Get it as soon as possible..The phone is running out of stock everywhere.

Ugly? Seriously? It sexy to me. Its a good phone, but if you want more Dev support buy the 2X or wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA App
Better than the Sony phones. Battery life depends on hour usage. Generally lasts a day. Worth buying. Less Dev support because it launched quite late and after the S2. So not many people bought it.

I meant its UI is like their non-android phones(cheap phones)..they look alomost same...hence it doesnt feel gud
development is importart for me..i am coming from moto defy...lots of development happens over dere( 2nd rank in CyanogenMod ranking )
Galaxy R has got very good hardware..dunno y dev is so less...
HW is pretty decent! I have never had any single issue with this handset. Aftermarket development is unfortunately an Achilles heel for now, but it can change for better. FW is very good, stable, you can hardly notice any bugs. But yeah I admit touchwizz is really ugly. I came from HTC and I really preferred Sense UI. But sammy's stock roms have this advantage that they are quite easily customizable, and you don't have to be a dev to do that.

Yes they have already stopped manufacturing i guess. Yesterday sulekha tech shared the specs on their facebook page for galaxy s advance and on asking if this is a replacement for Galaxy R, they said that Galaxy R has been stopped by samsung.No more would be availaible. I think the people who got it on time are lucky.

Its a gud thing and a bad thing..
Good thing coz they got very nice hardware for gud price
Bad thing coz as there are less galaxy R hence less development
One more good thing is that it will get official ICS update

I agree with you. It was a very nice price for such hardware and regarding the rumours about the manufacturing defects. i think as long as they have manufacturers warranty there is nothing to get worried about.
another strange thing which i noticed is that people started buying more and more R from the time it started getting out of stock. Hope development doesn't stop.
ICS is really the best thing about it and truly speaking i am not much impressed by the Galaxy S advance whcih i think would be around 25-26k indian rupees. so S2 or even the Note would be better option for buyers.
hi everyone i need ur valueable suggestions. which phone should i purchase after selling my galaxy sl i've short listed 4 phones
1) samsung galaxy note
2) htc sensation xe
3) samsung galaxy s 2
4) sony xperia s
plz give me ur feedback

i am a animator and love to click pics and do some sketching so my first preference is galaxy note but i want good customer support and dev support too so which one should i buy

I still suggest u upgrade to Galaxy Note
u are an animator and Note is a great choice for you as the available of the s-pen is really good for drawing , better than using your finger
second here xda have a particular page for Note
and the customer service of samsung is good also
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Check out all the development for all the devices you've selected in xda. S2 should have the most, I personally like sensation XE as I like awesome bass and stuff, but since you like sketching and stuff I guess galaxy note would be the most suitable.
Cheers

Go for the Galaxy Note! It has quite a pretty big user base in XDA. It probably isn't as big as the S2's but it's sizable enough, so nothing to worry about there.
I would advice you to wait until Galaxy S 3 cames out (May 3th). If you can't afford one then the prices of both (Galaxy S 2 and maybe Note too) will drop (they would became cheapier). Now it's time to wait for a few days.
If you are in hurry and you MUST buy one, then i surely recomend you Galaxy Note (if you find that the screen size doesn't bother you)
okay thnx for the suggestion will be buying on 5 th may and surely w8 for the prices to drop
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
The next galasy s3
The S3 is coming out on the 3rd of May.. Take a look at that and decide.. I would do that if I were in ur place.. It might take some time to get to ur place (depends), but it should be definitely worth the wait..
It's better to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3
It will come out on this May..
In OP's last post, it's clear he doesn't intend to buy the S3, in fact, he's waiting to buy after the release of the S3 so the prices of the current models will drop.
Sony xperia s or sgs3 or htc one x

Dude no matter which phone u buy make sure it's launched globally (maybe a flagship) and has a large user base.. These things are directly proportional to the Dev u'll get.. Development is what keeps the excitement alive, no matter if it's a s1, s2 or s3..
s1 after so f**kin long is still up in the Dev race.. All the i9003 users had pushed their budgets a little higher, we would be in a different world.. Hope u understand what I'm trying to say.. Cheers..

Hello all,
I want to buy a new phone, because I always do some experiments to my G3 and don't have sometimes enough time to recover it from bootloop or something... I also don't want to leave G3 comunity because you're the best friends now
So I ask, which phone would you recommend to me? As daily driver... I would keep my g3 for developing and tweaking . My requirements are the same as for this phone + root-friendly (if you know what I mean ) + CM available for it... Also it shouldn't be as expensive as sgs3 or galaxy nexus, etc... It also should have bigger screen...
So, what do you guys think? I thought about byuing sgs i9000 as it has almost fully working JB...

hi buddy this is just my suggestion as quadcore phones are already there and getting better every day and single core phone are about to vanish so i feel it would be better if you think about dual core phone as it will not only provide your better performance that single core processor but also will be future proof and supported with future editions of android phones.

Thanks, so, I'm going to save some more money, I'm sure it will be worth it then. I also don't want to go for SGSII because it has MMC_CAP_ERASE bug :silly:

Well, not fully agree
First - Nexus doesn't have slot for microsd card.
Secondly, the GPU is worse than the SII.
Thirdly - SII is more efficient.
Fourth - SII has better camera (8Mpix), Nexus - 5Mpix.
Nexus has higher screen resolution - 1280 × 720, but made in pentile technology.
Also, I'm wondering about these two phones, but more convinces me - Samsung Galaxy SII.
What do you think about Snapdragon S4 CPU and Adreno 225 CHIPSET? Just wondering how this will perform in Asus Padfone... I like the fact that this phone will get JB officially, but no forums here at xda...

Not yet, instead of it I have HP Probook 4540s as for the price of Galaxy S3 here in Czech Republic. It's for school now. I'm happy with it I'm now writing on this notebook. Perfect keyboard!
However, galaxy nexus will probably follow. I don't want the Nexus 4 for the "bad screen responsiveness" bug.

The pro book looks great and I also feel the same way about my g3 lol. I was thinking of getting a new phone but i decided to wait until marcelluse says if he's going to continue with cm10 development or any development on the g3. My parents gave me a tab 2 for Christmas so I'm not in a rush for a newer phone. I wished I could have donated to the devs for their work on the g3 for Christmas but I don't have a job I'm a student. I will try in the future
Happy new years by the way.

I have a Nexus 4 and the dev over there is amazing. Yes if the micro-sd card slot and removal battery is a bumper, then this phone isn't for you. I would suggest the S2 or the Note 1. The Asus Padfone is a good choice but it makes sense when you have the tablet as well as the phone.
PS My Nexus 4 dosen't have any bugs.
Hi everyone. After proudly using one of the root android handset of all time , i am planning to shift to a new phone. And for obvious reason cant find any better place to take some advice. My budget is strictly between 16-20k. I am considering few sets for myself, one of those is Tab 2 p3100. Wondering how will huawei be. getting some impressive reviews on the net about huawei. not sure whether i can get jellybean out of the box in this range but will certainly appreciate released JB update for the model i choose. Tab 2 has already got one JB update i guess. If any suggestion peeping through your head please help me out .. will always be grateful and amazed by the strength of our community out here in xda....... Viva xda. !!

And please dont go for galaxy nexus or galaxy grand. Nexus's camera and storage sucks and grand's screen. Also when i tried galaxy nexus, its brightness wasnt good. Thats why i took xperia s myself. IMO get one of the 2 optimus and enjoy tegra zone.

Nexus camera is good for me and there is absolutely no problem whatsoever with the brightness.

Umi X2, Lenovo S920, Star N9589, Jiayu G4 or some MTK6589 or MTK6589T phone, because they are so cheap but super fast
Today I saw at SamMobile a Article about the upcoming Galaxy Ace 3.
I think if this Phone really come we wont get any Devs anymore because it will be outdated.

Can you post a link? I can't find the announcement.
Anyway, I thinks it's good that this line of phones is going to continue - if Sammy will keep value/money index with A3 it will be my next handset. I'll wait 3-4 months from introduction, sell Ace2 and buy Ace3. It will be equipped with 4.1+ android, IMO first mature version of android so there will be everything we need. Update to 4.2+ is not essential as main changes there are for tablets. I only hope that they will make the camera batter, i.e. more responsive, current version and lags in it are terrible
Hmph.. our phone will be like Galaxy w ( Good phone , single core 1.4 ghz ,forgotten phone ) but it gets CM :thumbup:
GT-I8160 JB♣
So there is no Hope for our Phone?
Because i havent enough money to buy a new one but I really like Custom Roms like Cyanogenmod.
I think they will bring out an Ace 3 soon, the Ace 2 didn't sell very well over here. The Ace is still selling very fast in the UK! Still a really popular phone. My contract is up in August so I might consider it, that or an HTC. Maybe even WP, unlikely however.
I'm really interested to see what they do with the design!
Why are you afraid of? You have got great device for your money. Ace 2 would go to low end and Ace 3 will replace our device. Evolution, nothing new.
If you are afraid about of lack of development ... don't cause I do not think middle end devices (without support of producer) had ever proper development help. There are more than two devices which are close competitors to Ace 2 ... I mean SIII Mini and S Advanced and a whole bunch of Xperias. We still do not have working CM on Samsung middle class.
If I would like to have great support ... I would buy Nexus or any popular Sony phone. Ace 2 has just good size, its cheap and reliable device. With proper 4.1.2 ... I won't need more. If you buy Ace 3 ... it will be definately bigger ... it will get 4.1.2 right now and then ... maybe in a year Samsung would update it to next android. Samsung leaved such good devices like Galaxy S Plus or Galaxy W without support ... think about it choosing next Samsung phone.
1.2 GHz CPU dual core ? Maybe another Nova Thor -_- . Ace 2 is great phone but with this what we have got we need to start creating something better than stock ROM . OK , MC8 isn't so bad but our staff can be more powerful with longer battery life .

My question is - what else do you need in this ROM? In my opinion in 4.1.2 we've got everything what we need. Give me certain examples what else do you need in custom ROM.
For me just give me a CM 10 and i will be happy.

Look in features of Kyrillosv7b. There are all examples.
Also the long press back to kill app feature, which you can also find in CM is great.
Hot Boot is nice

Wrong example. Killing apps is totally stupid idea in Android.

I really can't understand people who wants to change Ace 2 into S4. If you want better battery life and amazing features - buy newer device - that is the manufacturer 's policy.
I am a true fan of CM, but I have a weird feeling, that many people thinks that CM can transform any phone into Galaxy S series, without spending any money - that is not the way it goes.

Try to understand that everyone have diferent need's and own taste. When stock 4.1.2 is good enought to you, means that you are lucky guy, but you cant expect same for every other person. I like much more pure Android vision, and if know, before i buy Ace2, that we dont have CyanogenMod or AOSP, never buy it. But this is my mistake. So my need's is clear:
- pure Android
- better ram mangment
- better battery life
- more kernels
- theme chooser and so on....
That's my personal opinion.

Want all of that? Buy Nexus. Simple.
I can understand that many people want CM. Personally I also like it very much, but I hate situations, when a group of people is complaining about lack of Cyanogen on our device. If I am oriented into CM ROM's I am buying a device with expanded developer support (i.e. Nexus, as I said before).
On the other hand, a lot of people is thinking, that if we get official JB 4.1.2 from Samsung, we will "automatically" get CM 10 support. It isn't working like this - no one said that if we have JB, we will get CM. It is only a good will of CM Team.

Yes, agree if you want to have multi tasking. Automatic task killers are stupid, I agree. But sometimes I want to have a app closed and not running in background. For example a game which makes my phone laggy while it runs in background.

Ahahaha yes. Buy a phone which costs 300€ more...
I already have this phone and I want as much performance as possible. Is this too much willing?
Yes my next phone will be a nexus but only because it's very cheap. Galaxy nexus and S2 wasn't so cheap so I bought this phone. (nexus 4 wasn't out there)
So I'm happy with every rom which makes our phone better in performance and features...
EDIT. and if you don't want custom ROM's, why are you on xda? You better should be on sammobile if you only want newest official rom...
