Anonymous, 02 Apr 2010I wonder, is it possible to upgrade to 2.1 or 2.0 designed... moreIt's not possible to be achieved by following any simple means, unfortunately. There are lots of lots constraints! Take an example of Video/Audio drivers. These drivers are specific to samsung and one need to know where and how to obtain those drivers and compile those with the generic 2.1 f/w. So things are not as straight-forward as they appear!

I tested most of the leaked v2.1 ROMs and learned that it is only Home launchers which are not snappier, else everything works almost smooth. And in that we can consider rooting our official f/w and replacing the default home with something more lighter and smoother e.g. GDE.

Cheers!!!

        this is bad..i tested the german version of the eclair firmware on this phone and felt there were many firmware glitches and it wasnt ready yet.. now gsmarena is going to review on 2.1..as i have read it on their blog they already feel it is not as good as on 1.5,,,i think they should thoroughly review 1.5 firmware on phone as well..or else this phone is sure to get low rating..

                  I tried the Asian firmware i570EDDJB2 aswell. Seems as if it does not support 16M at all. The screen is not as crisp as the UK firmware I570EXXJCB. well what surprises me here is the difference in the available internal memory which is 168MB in the Asian firmware and 130MB in the UK firmware. I,m sure this is gonna trouble a lota galaxy freaks.
