- Compcache tunning
- Few other things, don't remember
1.6.2
- based on JC6
1.6.1
- Restore original SMS/MMS app

Looks like 1.6.3 is going to be badass!! There seems to be a nice list of changes in this version! I havent tested it yet but I will as soon as i finish playing with Galaxhero haha

 

[muitommy]

Does Galaxo have the repaired OpenGL drivers? Might give this a go this afternoon

 

[Rastaman-FB]

well seems hes fixed the volume, cant wait for this. need some loudness back

 

[muitommy]

oh yeah, it's released. but the server is jam.

 

[golanster]

if i have 1.6.2 i need only to apply the update.zip and restore gapps
right?

 

[muitommy]

no, you need a wipe.

I have tried this, the core keeps quitting without a wipe.

 

[CCCP20]

What does Compcache?

 

[golanster]

thanks forgot to write it but i did the wipe

if i have 1.6.2 i need only to apply the update.zip and restore gapps
right?

I updated without a wipe and so far so good. probably depends what you installed in the meantime....

edit: Dialer force closes. Off to wipe I go

 

[Matenrou]

Whenever I try to restore g-apps it gets aborted. I had no problem to do it with 1.6.2, I also wipe before applying update.zip

I get the following, anyone got any tips?

-- Restoring Google apps
-- Press HOME to confirm, or
-- any other key to abort..
-- Restore started...

i just updated to jc6 and galaxo 1.6.2 a week ago and i have installed only my essentials while waiting for 1.6.3 so i didnt mind wiping
after installing 1.6.3 and setting the cpu to 710 it feels like a new phone
no lag no nothing, i had alot of issues with 1.6.2 with apps hanging and lagging
but now i'm loving it
will let you know about battery time in the next few days

 

[tsphere]

Without wipe, after enabling OC to 610mhz the phone feels snappier. Usually I wipe before update so it's difficult to compare, but I think this is more trustworthy.

 

[golanster]

something strange
when i'm in a call i cant get the dialpad up and when i use the menu key to load it i cant press any key
also when turn on the speaker it doesnt work
any one else have it?

i'm using jc6 and 1.6.3 recovery 4.6.2

I think samsung.tar is for restoring gapps as update.zip(galaxo1.6.2) does not contain google apps.

Follow these instructions exactly (see 2nd post), you can start at B3

Note:

update.zip is the galaxo 1.6.3 zip file renamed.

SAMSUNG.tar is your JC6 update renamed.

If you're having problems getting those files over, mount the SD card on your computer and just copy them over in windows explorer.


***You do not need to enable root, as this happens automatically with Galaxo.***

Hope that helps

hi
use this Flash rom Galaxo 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 - Windows tutorial - Samsung Galaxy
use the 1.6.2 only with the 1.6.3

be sure to download his samsung.tar
worked great for me

Can I update even though I have recovery Version 5.0 flashed on?

on www.drakaz.com they say yes

No they don't, they say you have to use Recovery 4.6.2 (Recovery 5 is for GAOSP and will not work, it won't restore the G.Apps).

All you have to do is replace the RECTOOLS.tar.gz file with the 4.6.2 version though.

yeah. sorry about that.... they say: if you don't need gapps,you can flash it with Recovery V5.0
