The problem is it doesn't always run fine. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.35 and it's a pain in the neck. It's slow and crashes regularly, requiring me to remove the battery to hard reset it. And the Samsung Kies software needed to update the firmware only worked on 1 out of the 4 Windows PCs I tried it on.
Got a Nexus 5 on the way, hoping that I'll have better luck with that.
- Qerub 13y agoI upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to Android 4.3 with CyanogenMod. Works really well!
- steveridout 13y agoThanks, I avoided rooting because I didn't want to spend the time and take the risk, but given the amount of frustration the it's given me I should have done it ages ago. If I wasn't about to receive a Nexus 5 I would definitely try this.
- king_jester 13y agoI had to bite the bullet on a Galaxy S a couple of years ago due to poor performance but it was totally worth it. Running a 10.1 or 10.2 version of cyanogenmod is very snappy, although there are limitations (e.g. storage space on /datadata) due to the age of the hardware.
