Day 4

Day 4... this is a bit of a geeky one I'm afraid.

 

My mobile phone is a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and it runs on Googles operating system called Android

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)

 

Phone manufacturers always customise the version of Android they put on there phones, this usually means hey fill it full of rubbish that slows it down. The good thing about Android is that it is open sourced. This means anyone with the knowledge can create there own versions.

 

Due to the Samsung version being rubbish and slow developers have made there own versions. The latest and fasted is by a dev called 'Darky' who uses a website called XDA developers:

 

forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665

 

So, I loaded this version on my phone today and it's fantastic! Very fast and smooth, unlike the official Samsung version!

 

If anyone wants to do this is very easy and all the details are on the XDA site.
