Root Galaxo v1.6 is out!

Kouske said:
mine works just fine. 1.6.1 fixed all the call/sms issues for me.
all i did for it to work ok is:
- flash the new firmware
- wipe using old recovery
- flash the new recovery
- push the new update.zip and the firmware renamed as SAMSUNG.tar
- wipe using new recovery
- apply update.zip
- apply restore gapps

oh and before i pushed update.zip i deleted the old update file.

@mrbrdo - the first time i flashed from 1.5 to 1.6 it remembered my apps but after first reboot it forgot them. :)
i think it remembers the apps you had on 1.6 though.

Oh so you wipe twice? Once with the old, then once with the new?
 
i wiped once after i flashed the firmware and then enabled usb debugging. then i flashed the new recovery, pushed the files onto the device and then wiped again before applying update.zip and gapps.

You mean using the stock recovery (I've never actually went into recovery in stock, so I dunno how it works haha)? Or the one in settings? Thanks.
 
well the first time i flashed the firmware it didnt load so i used stock recovery to wipe (you just press the button above the call button) and then wiped again after 1.6 firmware booted.

btw note that you do push the files through adb, not through windows explorer like hoho said.
 
i couldn't restore gapps until i realized that there was another zip file inside the downloaded zip file. the one inside was the one i had to rename. duh! now it's working.
 
Does anyone know if copy protected apps show up in the market with Galax 1.6.1?

I use roadsync for exchange email. (while we're at it, any recommendations for another email app for exchange)

I bought a galaxy and could not access copy protected apps from stock firmware or new 1.6 firmware.

wondering if galaxo will work? If not, anyone have other suggestions?

Im using touchdown pro for exchange and its realy a stable & fast mail client.
Had to pay for it though.
 
nope.. galaxo is the unthemed one. galaxhero is the themed one. but galaxo works faster i think + 1.6 is amazing! works like a charm. :)
 
Indeed, and now that I've installed minfreemanager, I can even play speedforge 3d properly for once! Before, it was SO stuttery.

I'm not too sure, I'm new too it myself. I was just recommended it.
Anyway, both aggressive and mild seem to make my phone work smoothly, dunno about the detailed implications on my apps though.
 
cryingfreeman - yes its a lot faster than anything on 1.5
rellikzephyr - i dont have sleep issues with 1.6.1. in fact im having better battery time than ever!

Use the agressive setting, and set it only to Apply then play around with the phone. When you restart it, the settings will disappear. If your happy with the settings then mark them as Apply on boot.


Really niffty app, the phone is much more responsive!
 
Hey, today the "Home" button stopped working for me. Reboot didn't help. any ideas?

I'm on Galaxo 1.6.1, for two days everything was just excellent

the same way as it described in the guide. no witchcraft here. sounds like you forgot to enable USB debug in Settings - > Applications
