Jelly Bean Upgrade for Galaxy W is Here CM10 Alpha 4 1
Jelly Bean Upgrade for Galaxy W is Here CM10 Alpha 4 1
Jelly Bean |
Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book. Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your devices CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you dont need it to improve battery life.
However, on Samsung Galaxy W you cant expect to have Jelly Bean updated by Samsung since they have stopped making update for this device. After successfully made ICS update for Samsung Galaxy W, CyanogenMod comes back with CM10 which introduces the sensation of Jelly Bean to this device.
This CyanogenMod 10 for the Galaxy W is built from source (based on Jellybean 4.1.1).
It is still in alpha stage, which means it has its own bugs along with bugs deriving from CM 10 itself, which is still in experimental stage and is under heavy development.
Huge thanks to arco68 for his work on bringing CyanogenMod 9 (ICS) to the Galaxy W. This one is heavily based on his work, including his kernel and everything. Download CyanogenMod 9 for Galaxy W if you havent tried it yet.
Also, thanks to the CyanogenMod team who keep working on improving their ROM and creating possibilities for many devices to get updated goodies.

The 2.6 kernel doesnt have vsync required for full project butter experience. The 3.0 kernel version has this though. Camera is not working on the 3.0 kernel version.
Annoyances:
Artifacts in preview for panorama shots
Green color when taking pictures (saved picture is ok though)
USB tethering must be activated twice if its the first boot
The fix for HSDPA causes an issue with APNs in Jelly Bean if you use SIM pin lock. To workaround that turn on and off airplane mode after entering pin code.
Installation Instruction
Preparation
(First three are optional. If you want to start fresh, these can be skipped)
- Install AppBak from Market, run it and save a list of all your apps.
- Install SMS Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your SMS history.
- Install Call Logs Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your call log history.
- Boot into CWM6 recovery. Make a full backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
- WARNING: Many apps will Force Close crash if you restore data from a previous ROM.
- Boot into recovery mode. Only use CWM6 to flash CM10. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone! Turn Off the phone and press power + home + volume up.
- Wipe data and cache.
- Flash CM10.zip.
- Flash gapps version 20121011. zip and gapps picasa add-on 20121011. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM10 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
- Reboot phone.
- After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
- Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
- If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
- It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.

Upgrades
Upgrades from previous versions of CM10 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM10 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.
