Android 2.x on Galaxy

* Erratic performance under Android 2.1 (noticeable lag in some apps) (CPU issue)

By the way: 'Ha ha!' (c) Nelson from The Simpsons

That proves that i75000 processor is better, as I recall mustymod users did not have erratic performance.
 
on the other hand users of donut (including me) have experienced erratic performance in i7500, so it's quite possible that musty's rom was just better coded than the spica 2.1 update

plus the word erratic would suggest that the problem is indeed in bad programming rather than insufficient hardware
 
I must say, the guy that tried to prove that Spica's CPU is better was right. No reason to try to prove otherwise. For once and for all, Spica has a faster CPU. Here is some proof:
Samsung Spica I5700 C5Bench
http://www.c5bench.com/results/ (top are fastest, bottom are slowest)
Benchmark Tests C5Bench (tests are explained)

To sum it up. Spica with 2.1 had a sum of 454fps, 1.5 Spica had a sum of 331fps. i7500 uses the same CPU as Magic, Dream or Hero. Magic had 241, 254, 255fps, Dream had 252, 258fps and Hero had 309, 319fps.
There was a debate that i7500 has dual core. It has infact, one ARM11 at 528MHz and one underclocked ARM9 at 250MHz. But ARM9 is used ONLY for radio and is not available to the OS. So it's of no use when we look at the benchmarks.
Spica's CPU does indeed have one core. Radio probably has a dedicated chip, something like iPhone which probably is a stadnard ARM9. Galaxy's dual core should, as I mentioned, be taken with a pinch of salt because the other core isn't available for every day usage.
Anyway, this is Spica's CPU:
SAMSUNG's Digital World
It's clocked to 800MHz. It even has dedicated 3D acceleration capable of OpenGL ES 2.0, like the Droid.

I suffered from that too, then I installed SetCPU (edit: requires root) and set the CPU clock to quickly scale up to 520MHz when needed. And the lowest clock is at 120MHz when it sleeps.

You can download setcpu from the xda boards.
 
So any news? Why there are no further 1.6 updates? Does anyone knows when can we expect sources?

Give us some info, please...

GAOSP has been stalled for a while, there are minor things that can be fixed now, but there's not much point in working on it until the 1.6 sources are released.
 
Not just by Tele2. Vip also sells them. And they lowered the prices down so we can't even get 150€ for our phones. :(
 
Just bought a Legend 2 hours ago. Best 2 hours I have had in a while. The cpu may only be a bit more powerful but this phone is so much more responsive I can't believe it. The Sense UI is really well thought out. I am selling this to a friend so I will keep up with the news in case I can help her update. But thanks everyone for the help.

How long does your battery last?

I updated my Galaxy to Mustymod 2.1 and my battery barely lasts a day of normal use (sms, little talk, mostly standby). :mad:
 
I've had it for 13 hours now. Battery indicator hasn't moved much. Didn't install any tools to check. Anything you want me to do to test for you? (aside from rooting or new roms--at least not yet...)
