Hi!
I know there are many people thinking the same than me. I have a TouchWiz based phone (Samsung GT-S5600 Preston). It looks nice, has some nice features but you can't get any of those great applications that are available for Android, WM or even iPhone - like a car navigation software etc.
So is there a way to replace TouchWiz and install Android on it?
I mean Samsung has already one Android phone (I7500), I can't imagine that the hardware components are so much different to the S5600/Preston or other newer Samsung phones.
Has anyone experience with this?
Thanks
Hi, we have the same problem.. hope that some one will port the android to preston 5600..
I'm assuming you want the Android interface and not Android OS itself (which isn't availlable and most doubtfully will ever be available for your phones). But even that isn't possible (at least that I know of)... While there are today plugins with those features for WinMo your're stuck on a Symbian phone...
it is not a symbian phone, and the specs are, in my opinion, enough for the phone to support an alternative OS (not just an interface) such as android donut or probably WinMo 6.1.
By the way, I was in the same situation looking for another OS for this phone
At first I was in love with the iPad but now I've began thinking to go a much different route for a tablet..
after searching for android tablets I ran across two that caught my eye, one on ebay the sungworld 7in tablet and the Haleron iLet mini...
both feature similar hardware specs (same screen size, resolution, CPU speed, memory, price,etc). the main difference from what I can tell (aside from aesthetics) is the sungworld model looks like its running standard android 1.6 with gapps, whereas the ilet is running android with some UI.
does anyone have any input on how customizable these devices are? any chance of custom roms or app2sd or at least gapps on the iLet..would porting a version of 2.1 be considered impossible or at least not probable?
I love the idea of a cheap android tablet and would appreciate any input on this!
thanks in advance..

Have you looked at the enTourage eDGe?
I just saw your post on the other tablet thread..I'm not really a fan of the design, its very strange. Plus i already have a netbook, so I'm in the market for a tablet now..
Check out enso-now.com for the zenPad..its a pretty cool 5'' android tablet starting at $155!
Hi everyone,
What is your favourite ROM for your android mobile ??
w8 ur post
My favourite Room for my HD2 is the [07 Feb 2012] [CMR] Team Blue Droid V3.5 Sensation xl Gen3 EU & Tmobile SonyXloud. I'm only one problem. I can't connect with my own wifi, but Dansta34, it's on this problem, because another people have the same problem than me. The room it's simply SPECTACULAR, my phone works better than all the rooms i prove, and also my battery don't need a continous charge and i also charge my battery one time to day.
Quite a subjective question, but I've enjoyed CM7 on my Nook Color, Evo 4G and Hero (CDMA). It's been nice to share the platform/experience between devices.
Rom Rom Rom
My favourite Rom isnt a particular rom per say but i prefer the stripped back roms with the bare minimum done to them so that i can customise myself not really into the cyanogenmod thing where everything is done for you but i do see the appeal for some
CM7 for my G2x and Overcome for my Galaxy Tab.
For my HTC Sensation ExtremeSensation™Series|ICS|Blaze|Blitz5|Very FAST Stable , good battery, stable and everything is going smoothly for now
I really like AdyScorpiusMIUI v4 based on ICS but it's not stable enough for me yet. I'm currently on CheckROM RevoHD™ V4 and I like it because it's stable and highly customisable with Kitchen Pro and JKay settings.
See my Sig.
I miss the WM days when Chefs would release Lite/Standard/Full Fat versions of each ROM. It makes me wonder why that has never really happened with Android.
Answers on a postcard...
i really like for my samsung i9001 the Broodrom RC3 Revision 2, very fast, low ram usage and smooth, easy installable through odin, pc setup tool for 1°installation and Broodrom Configurator to easily set and change all system settings such installing tweaks, accellerators and much more, a must have for samsung Galaxy S Plus!!!1
BroodRom for 9001
Best rom I've used is the Valhalla rom for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It's just a single core old phone, but with this rom it is so fast and smooth. It feels much faster and more stable than any of these new ICS rom for the Nexus S. Ofcourse the hardware has limitation, but interface wise its faster than some dualphones I've used too. This is of course coupled with the phone having Wolfson DAC for excellent sound quality.

My favourite ROM and the one that actually works for all my phone features is NeroDroid v5 for Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i. Everything else has many bugs and most other ROMs doesnt work with the Hardware keyboard. The only thing I hate from the NeroDroid ROM is the bootanimation for the CWM, I had to use a custom kernel.
My favorite right now is Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on my Aria, but I have a feeling that one Cyangoenmod 9 can make it out of alpha beta, it will be my new favorite ROM. I am super impressed with the CM developers. If you have not checked out Cyanogenmod, I highly recommend it.
I liked the Android 4.0.3 CM9 ROM for the Kindle Fire. I really liked the way it ran versus the stock OS.

This guy has ported Miui ICS to I9100 Like a boss
i am using Razodroid on my Galaxy Fit, its pretty fast and stable...
I have had a few smartphones and used dozens of ROMs and I always go back to Cyanogenmod.
Very reliable, great power management. It's the best way to get the most out of your hardware.
I've got to agree, ICS on the Kindle Fire is very nice, especially now that the touch screen issues seem to be fixed. It is very smooth, compared to stock or even CM7.
the latest and the stable one,,ofcourse..

Codename-Android ROM on my Nexus S. I like it because it is simple, clean, fast and full tweaked ICS .
Which Custom rom provides support for Chinese and has normal screen resolution?
What I mean by Normal resolution is that the text, menu and icon on CM10 and SlimBean roms are smaller than what you would find on other Android devices with a 4" screen. I've tried these on the GS4G, both roms have very small text, icons and menus, and only SlimBean provides (a lackluster) Chinese support (not very well translated compared to the other Official CM roms).
I bought this phone for my mom to use whom don't understand English and can't see very well (old age). So far, both of these roms I've tried don't meet my requirements. I have a Nexus S that my dad is using, and it's terrific for both of these regards. Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
CM9 has all that I am looking for. Thank you!
Try HebMIUI... MIUI has Chinese built in.

I like my Note Pro. I use the pen and have quite a few pen apps.
Can someone who uses the tablet give a quick review og how it works, what's great and what's not so great?
I'll then be better prepared to decide if I want to flash the ROM
I'm particularly interested in how the SPEN works and if it's any different to the stock rom. I know I'll be missing the Samsung apps. Just want to see if the pen works the same way in 3rd party apps.
How fast/Slow is the ROM?
Thanks
I JUST flashed my tablet yesterday with OS 14.1 on my P900. It really runs great. Still haven't most things but I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom in TWRP and I can flash back any time I want.
It's fast and so far stable.
Maybe I just got really used to stock-based ROMs, but I'm not a fan of how Lineage runs on the P900. I mean..It's stable...Everything I need works. I use Lineage on other devices, and pretty much all of my old devices have CM on them. I just can't explain why I don't like it on this.
(I am currently using it on this...Probably going on two months)
I've been using it for 1 month and it works quite well. All the features are great and the system runs really fast. The problem is that some of the old features (floating windows, specific software for s-pen and quick access) are not available in Lineage OS 14 for sm-p900... so I ended up missing some of them. I will try the Touchwiz adapted to sm-p900 (based on android 6.0 marshmallow) which is still an upgrade for what I had at the beginning... I'll tell you about this when I try it.
PD: I've been using CM-Spen Add-on as a substitute for SPen software, but it doesen't feel the same.

That review would be really good thank you.
I have a few questions if anyone knows....
I assume the Nougat Split screen works OK - I don't really use floating windows much
And palm rejection when using the stylus? Is that a hardware feature and still working OK?
Is the stylus lag more or less noticeable?
I'm using MS OneNote for it's syncing features, and it's really quite good these days. Does this work do you know?
Does the stylus need to be calibrated? Or does it match what you touch on the screen 100%
Is there a continuous dot on screen, when the stylus is very close to the screen or touching?
Is the battery drain better or worse than touchwiz?
Thank you
