^^^ low end phones can get good benchmark scores because of the very low resolution.

hmm yea... could be the case...

earlier before the update on stock rom.. the score used to come somewhere in the 400 to 500 range though.. atleast some improvement..

I installed Froyo on Samsung Galaxy 3 and its working pretty fine.....

What changes did you notice ? Does the Multitouch work ?

 

[dhanraj]

No multitouch support yet.. the developers seem to be working on multitouch for G5..

Changes that i noticed are..
it seems to be working bit more faster.. got rid of the rfs filesystem & got ext2..
Battery life too seems better than before...
has support for apps2sd..

Wifi tethering works on froyo.. tried it.. and its cool..

and slight change in UI and looks..

I just wanted to confirm. Thanks. I'd better wait for the new Galaxy phones. They would come with Froyo & might get the Gingerbread update.

I flashed my Android with I5801BVJP9 which was made for the Orange Service Provider in France so I have 2 different UIs so that I can switch if I get bored of the other one

Battery Life has improved for me by like 25%.....

Cool

thats for galaxy 3 i guess..

^^ Sorry for disturbing you once again but does the 2.2 update comes with Touchwiz or its just the vanilla Android ?

Official samsung update (& tweaked by carrier) will have samsung's touchwiz crap for sure.

Yeah....
I purposely flashed my phone with the OS from France cause thats the only once available for I5801 with 2.2 Froyo...
The other ones were for I5800 and if I had flashed my I5801 with the I5800 Froyo OS then I would have had more problems and probably would have lost my IMEI number.....

Touchwiz....

The new version of TouchWiz (v3) is not that bad....

The one i flashed doesnt has the touchwiz UI. it uses some other custom launcher for UI..

 

[pauldmps]

I kinda like the side-scrolling mechanism in main menu inTouchwiz rather than the bottom-scrolling in the native UI. That's all.

my friend upgraded G5 to Froyo but downgraded to stock soon as battery life taken a hit. got the rom from XDA.

not that bad but could have been far better. the new features of touchwiz is really worth it, but seriously not the homescreen. looks like a Java mobile. looses badly to Launcher Pro & HTC Sense.
