Why should I upgrade my firmware ?

Hello all- I am currently using my SGS with the old JPY firmware and see there are quite a few upgrades but I am happy with JPY and am wondering why/if I should upgrade ?
The only reason I can see is simply to be compatible with some of the newer themes but is there any other reason to upgrade, performance, visually, etc.. ?
Is it worth it or will I basically not really notice any difference ?
Cheers for any help !!!

Personally, I'm waiting for the next ginger rom (official is due very soon)

Yes, it's worth upgrading. Try Ultimate rom 8.2. You get a lot of performance improvements which lead to a smoother experience, and you increased features. Follow the instructions carefully!
This is in the wrong sub forum. It should have been in questions and answers.

why should you post this in development section and not in questions and answers?
we need a anti-thanks button!

Speed is the first thing you will notice,then being able to change your phone to how you want it not how your Phone Provider wants it eg themes no adds,no crap apps
By the way this is the wrong place to post try the Q&A section

Wrong Section of the forums.

Why should I answer your question?

I see you have posted 67 more times and I asume you've READ the threads you are posting too... You think ALL this people spending their time reading /writing /experimenting with new ROMs (W/O counting this AMAZING devs who they spending countless hours/days/weeks for this ROMs) they doing it for JUST making their SGS looks a BIT different?
READ MORE and POST the right way and more important THINK before you ask!...

OK, did not realise this was the wrong section
If the moderators would, please move it to the correct area.

[Q] Android 2.3.3 for the Tab

As I own a Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2 I would like to change to Android 2.3.3
The Basband version in use is: P1000DXJJ2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root(at)SE-S604 #1
Build number: FROYO.DXJK2
Now my question is: could I just manual upgrade to version 2.3.3 which I had downloaded, in total 4 files:
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1q000XXJPZ.zip
dbdata.zip
gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip
ODIN3 v1.83.exe
Could someone please tell me it's ok to use that files or, if not, point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much for any answer.

This rom is for european galaxy tab, but I think you can flash it on an asian version of the tab. Look at the development section for this rom.

Can I ask two questions...
(a) Where did you get the download from and (b) have you installed the ROM and how did it go?

To your question:
a: androidtotal. com/manually-install-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-android-2.3.3-gingerbread/
b: I asked my question in the OP before I try to install!
I do NOT like to brick my Tab with an unsupported Rom! That's why I ask upfront the Rom could be used on my Asian Tab or not.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunate, I couldn't post in the Dev section right now because of my post count.
As my Tab is an unlocked Tab with Quadband and 3G (900/1900/2100 MHz) I hope that everything will works with the Europe version, I just want to be sure not to brick the device!

You shouldn't have been posting in the dev section anyway, that is for posting of dev projects/reference.

No, you are wrong. We have a Q&A forum, try using some common sense. Do you honestly think that its sane to allow questions or other type of topics to be created in the dev section? It would just lead to a complete un-organized mess and browsing the dev section would be a pain in the arse.

First at all: The Q&A forum haven't gave an answer within a week or more! Do you really think that's OK?
Secondly: My question were for the Gingerbread Version (Overcome Beta) which is running in the Dev forum and therefore I really do believe that those forum were the right place for to ask questions about that specific version.
After NOT getting an answer in the Q&A forum, I done more researches and found the Samsung Stock Rom (NOT on this forum) and was asking my final question in the Samsung Galaxy Tab General forum.
My remark about the min. post count for to be able to post in the dev forum were just that: A REMARK.
Last but not least, this is a public forum and as long as I stay to the rules, I could post as I like and as it is allowed! There only the forum staff, means Admin's and Moderators who have the right to limit a action or posting ability of an 'normal' user and those will be done in case of an breach of the rules only.
I'm Administrator on one Board and Global Moderator on an other Board and believe me or not, I know what I'm talking about.

And YES, it works!
I updated the last night from 2.2 t0 2.3.3 and everything is fine now. It's quite a bit of improvement compare to Froyo.
Thanks for the info.

Hey pcinfo1, I'm searching around the forum, we are on the same stock ROM.
I like to know if its ok for me to flash to Overcome ROM v3.1.0-KRATOS???
Thanks!

Ok to flash overcome rom ONLY if you update to stock gingerbread 1st. You need the gb bootloaders installed otherwise you will end up with your tab hanging on the samsung logo. Thankfully overcome has the safe stock gb rom v5 that has the gingerbread bootloaders. All you need to do is find the modem.bin file for your region/carrier and you're set.

Hii, thanks for the reply mate. how do i find modem.bin file for my region/carrier?
I'm from Singapore and it should be considered as Asian set right? Thanks!

The reason there are no answers given sometimes is because the questions are so weak, or have been asked and answered soo many times.
If you post a question that doesn't get answered within a day (not within 30 minutes like some people expect), rethink your question.
Posts that have "Hi guys, I'm new" or "Help, I've bricked my tab" for titles tend to get passed over.

(NOTICE) MIUI on LG Optimus Black? Maybe it's possible!

Hi! Today I was browsing MIUI's forum and I found this notice:
http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?8833-Notice-MIUI-for-Upcoming-Devices-***3vo-Update***
Does it means they are thinking in porting MIUI to our device? It seems like if we are able to have an stable version of CM7, we could have MIUI in our device.
As I can see, they are giving us the same priority as other HTC devices as HTC Sensation.
Its great, isn't it?
Regards

Lol, as soon as CM7 is out, they most likely will kang it and get MIUI for Black.
While MIUI is a good and optimized ROM, even though visually tiring, they usually only release for a device after the CM port is done.

OMG, another spammer!
There's already FOUR threads about MIUI!
What device do you want to see running MIUI?
Will we get MIUI Rom on Optimus Black?
[Q] Miui
Port of MIUI?
Next time, Sly90, move your lazy a$$ and use SEARCH button.

No need to be rude. This is the first topic where you can read, that MIUI port is actually waiting in a que. It's not one of those silly topics "+1" for MIUI. Please read the notice on miuiandroid.
For me - this post was a great news!
PS: And "thanks" was by a coincidence...

I posted it because its a great news that MIUI community has an eye on our device and it's not like all the childish and stupids "+1" posts I've found here.
And you don't have any right to treat me as you treated, because I was respectful with anybody, so don't be so rude and stop being jerkish.
I posted it in developing section because in the deep end, its a developing news from MIUI. Anyway, thanks to move it to General Section.
knzo, it seems like MIUI sources could be based on Cyanogenmod's ones, so maybe thats the reason they need a full port of CM7 to develop MIUI. After all, having it, they only have to work a litte bit to full port it.
Regards!

Please support here for optimus black!

In Miui forums, they say which steps have been done and what is not done yet. We can see that they're waiting for CM7.

[Port?]CM9 on Galaxy W

So i know the closest phone to ours in terms of hardware, is the Galaxy W right?
And guess what? They got the CM9 port this week.
So i guess this could help some developers to port it to our phone?
*_*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874
Here's the link btw

i thought it has been mention a lot of times although same specs but it is not possible to port as the mobo is all different

Yeah, I'm not thinking on getting their rom and trying to install it on my phone.
I meant get their base and develop something similar on our phone, using the same cpu/gpu drivers, wich i think are the main problem we have right now.
I'm no developer, but i don't think that this is impossible.

Their original developer is porting it as we speak, so maybe we should continue the talk here ?

If dev is porting... new thread will open
Hereby thread closed!

Go arco. He brought CM7 to my old phone (htc wildfire) so it is just a matter of time until we have CM9 for our S+.

Maybe i'm a noob. I'm not a develorper, but does it mean i shouldn't make part of this forum?
First of all, i've registered here not to create stuff, but to show my apreciation for the work of people who do create it.
I've donated to estimulate the development of other projects on other devices, but aparently people of the 9001 section don't actually care about this kind of user ( aka noobs).
And when i try to point that other developers managed to get CM9 on a phone that is very similar to ours you react that way? Seriously, you didn't became more of a man when you answered like a dickhead.
Anyway, i'm sorry for trying to help out the development of our device by bringing unharmful information.
C ya.

Your thread is in the wrong section. It should go into 9000 General section and the thread title should start with [9001]. That's the rules that were set up by XDA officials for us and our device. Not very handy but that's it.
This topic is not new and was discussed several times already in various other threads here. Ironically in the Cyanogenmod porting thread arco68, who ported CM9 for Galaxy W, has been around for two days and started to analyse out device. If you searched and read a bit, you would have found that. So this thread is a duplicate.
And thanks for the dickhead.

I can understand this reaction.
It's in my opinion the result of lacking our own general forum.
it's a shame that if i want to read topics in the general forum i have to use the search button to see i9001 topics.
When the Samsung Galaxy S Advance arrives does it get a subforum in the i9000 forum? if this is so this wil make things again more confusing.
And if there is a administrator then close this thread
But on topic there wil be a thread from arco68 ? about porting cm9.
