Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there's a dual boot that I can use for my skyrocket. I looked around other threads I spent about a couple hours (2-3?) and no luck. I did find that a lot of other galaxy variants have it like the Galaxy Y and the S2 but I can't find one for the Skyrocket. Any know where I can get it?
Edit: I wanted to install another ROM like Sky or Paranoid one of those JB ones not Windows/iOS.

I may be mistaken but, I believe this was mentioned a while back. If I remember right, it's next to impossible or would take a LOT of work to happen.. something to do with our hardware. I could be wrong.
Yeah I actually asked this over a year ago when I first picked up my rocket. So sad there's still nothing :-\

I have finally decided that I need to get a better phone, since allot of phones are getting these new hardware such as NFC and all the new bells and whistles. The SGS4G community taught me allot, because they are helpful even though they can be rough on the edges. I might also be planning to sell my phone but not anytime soon but defnitely in a month or two. I'm planning ahead so I don't get all panicked when I pick a new phone. Also if you are interested on buying my phone please contact me, we shall discuss about the price. (Includes Otter box casing for protection, optional but I can give you the unlock code if you have a different carrier, I can pre-install ICS Google AOSP (from Erikmm) or stock Gingerbread with or without root)
Which next Samsung phone should I get?
I could ask on their forums yes but I want the opinion of the people here in my community. I am thinking of either getting the Galaxy Nexus or the Galaxy S III, but I can't decide, each phone has their pro's and con's.
If I get Galaxy Nexus I get direct updates from Google without Samsung/T-Mobile holding firmwares at bay. However if I get GS3 I get ton's of features extending from hardware to exclusive applications.
So please answer it below, you can suggest another brand phone but I highly doubt I'll get it.
The galaxy s 3 is without a doubt the best phone out there right now.
People will argue that the nexus is better because it gets updates faster. Yes, the galaxy nexus will get software updates directly from Google but software can only go so far and the hardware is almost a year old. The s3 has a huge development community so expect to get the latest android version with all the top roms (cm10 aokp miui paranoid android) on it.
If you're willing to wait, get the new nexus or the galaxy note 2.
If you are planning some months ahead then by that time there will be newer phone than the GS3. Which is the best phone now, but just now. That could change easily with the Note or a new Nexus.

They are already talking about a galaxy s 4.
http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/world/...a-5-inch-screen-one-inch-bigger-than-iphone-5
Getting a new phone now is pretty dumb. Waiting til later this year or even the beginning of next year to hop on a quad core s4 or exynos is the ideal thing to do. I'm talking the s4 pro with the new architecture by the way. You'll also get the new adreno gpu or what Sammy offers depending on what device you choose. For instance many signs are pointing to that new LG Optimus G being a nexus device. That would be a gigantic leap from the sgs4g, even more so than the gsiii, by a lot. I'm just advising that you wait it out a couple more months cus it'll be worth it

That's funny. I have the galaxy s3 and I use my sgs4g as a music player because of voodoo sound. Mind you the sound on the US s3 is not bad but could be better like the international one.

Take a look at Tmobs website. You can get an S3 16GB for 99 bucks or the 32GB for 149. It's a pretty damn good phone and at that price you can just sell it when the S4 finally hit the US a year from now. If your not under contract and have some cash to throw at it get the international version.

Yeah I'm not under a contract :\ I might as well get it on a contract cause I definitely don't have 589.98 dollars lying around LOL. I might get the 16 GB version since I don't really put stuff in my phone, everything is in the cloud except for my music. I also have my old 16 GB card that came along with my SGS4G. So I might get a contract to get a lowered price.
This is what I found

Well I did say if you have some cash. lol Not being under contract opens up your options quite a bit though. I switched over to ATT about a year ago cause TMOB where I live sucks. I just unlocked my 4G and used it for a few months. When the Skyrocket came out I was able to score a refurbished one for 10 bucks with a new 2 year plan. The thing is if your a good costumer you can get that same deal again in about a year. You'll have to talk to upper level CS but they always will do it. Not sure if the same thing works with TMOB or Verizon.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V)
Hence... This forum.
You should wait a month or so to see is Sony, LG, and HTC have in the pipe in the way in a nexus. Then decide between those the s3, note 2, and incredible x...
If you are planning to keep a phone for 2 years then you should have the best roster possible... I know you asked only about Samsung... and I love Samsung but I am growing ever tired of their plastic builds and home button...

Recently went to a yard sale and found a Nexus S for sale $5 Guy said his kid messed it up that it didn't turn on. I thought to my self what the heck and bought it when I got home I went on XDA. It was a simple thing all I had to do was access boot screen and do a reset. Working great..
But now i have a question to any who read this. Now so far all I know is that is Sprint Nexus S but I see there is also a 4g I know its a dumb question but where would I find it. Now my new mission for the week is finding out before I start flashing Roms. So far I have a Galaxy 2, a Nexus S, hopefully soon Galaxy 4 and the phone that started my addition Galaxy S Captivate.
Any one have any good ROM,apps, and kernal recommendations would appreciate.

I noticed this when upgrading from sgs3 to sgs4 last month.
I've noticed it as well. I miss the days of the S2 and siyah kernel. KT is the closest kernel were going to get to that kind of features. With the S5 due out soon a lot if devs are going to move on. This will be my last samsung. I'm tired of Sammy's ugly and bloated FWs

Nexus devices.

Hmm.. the biggest advantage, from my point of view, of nexus devices are, they'll rather have support for upcoming OSs such as Ubuntu, Mozilla etc. because of AOSP(drivers etc.). Samsung/HTC/Sony on the other side have always their customized Android OS, which is also a good thing because they have to be absolutely stable.
My SHV-E330S(same as I9506) has not less mods than my old S2. I would say, it has much more mods than S2.
The only difference - you wait when someone will do this for you, while i do it by myself.
Actually, i don't see what is interesting in using already made custom ROM which has be made in someone's specific taste.
Today, there are much more devices than before. Thus, concentration of developers for particular device is less and less. If you want to get something interesting for particular device, you have to become one of such developers.
Otherwise, just get Nexus - it already has naked Android which most people here is looking for.
The only thing i miss for my I9506 is the kernel developement.But if you think better why would you OC the Krait 400?Isn`t the fastest CPU avalaible on the market?A kernel with udervoltage feature enabled would be perfect.For the rest...if you have root you can make it all by yourself.There are a lot of tutorials on the market explaining how you can port a custom ROM and a lot of mods and themes ar compatible for this phone from I9505 thread and Note 3.For short...i`m very satisfied with my I9506.Way faster and less battery draining than I9505.I have them both!
If no-one is porting a rom from either the Xperia Z1, or from the Note 3 wich at least have the same CPU, i will probably look into how to do this myself.. I bought the i9506 yesterday and thought there would be a custom rom allready, but no.. My old Optimus 4X HD is still in use, cause i really hate the Samsung menu system!

I am from India. My friend is getting me a I9506 from US for 490 dollars. is it a good deal? Will I get OTA updates on it?

Think no.. New samsung devices have a region lock by default..
If its a new device and is unlocked maybe, but u need to activate in your region for first use..
Dont know if device only run in US if ur friend activate the phone there..
If not, you'll need to unlock it and pray..
Other thing will be flash ur own firmwares but this will flag a 1 on knox void warranty efuse and cant receive OTAs..

Sadly the data plan network on our country have no HTC One supplies, i would to get hands on it really. Also I am shock by the mods and also CM, i though Galaxy Line are the modfest.
Yes, I agree on this also.
I had an S3 before and I have to say that Devs were going crazy making new Roms/Tweaks and kernels almost every day!
I thought the GS4 would be even more crazier but turns out that it isn't. Should've got that Nexus 5 :|

Hey everyone little new to XDA forums basically i'm interested in buying a Android tablet preferably a Samsung Note or something along those lines I've always enjoyed Samsung's products but I'm looking for something that's relatively easy to root with some nice custom ROMs just trying to see if anybody out there you guys can give me any pointers it would even be better if I can get an older model that still runs pretty strong thanks in advance... I have done some digging and look in but I guess the fact that I don't know which tablet I want it's been kind of a needle in a haystack situation:good::laugh:
