PAPAGO! M9 for Android Mobile X8.5 Map for Malaysia

The wait is finally over !

I have been using Papago! X5 for many years and after they decided to stop updating the map for X5, I have been looking for the latest version of Papago! that works on Android with map update.

Tested on my Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3 ~VK ROM) and here are some screenshots ;

Move over PAPAGO, here comes Sygic for Android

Note: You can download Papago! M9 for Android here



Just installed Sygic on my Galaxy S2 and it's quite good. The accuracy between what you see on the map view and the real thing is very accurate.

The thing about papago X5 is, they have stopped updating the map.

Here are some good things about Sygic;

1. You can get map update for Malaysia and it's pretty comprehensive
2. There are maps for other countries too
3. It's screen-size friendly so you can install it on your Galaxy Note - see picture above (and maybe Tab as well)

Email me nazri.jamil@gmail.com if you want to have the registered copy of Sygic APK installer for Android

Note: Sygic is for free but I ask for no-obligation RM5 contribution for maintain my websites

ICS ROM for Galaxy S2: VK ICS ROM

Hi guys !

Installed this ROM on my galaxy S2 several weeks ago and it is so SWEET !!!

Here's a quick low-down;

1. Battery - Awesome ! I use my phone for conference calls and occasional Facebook and the battery lasts for 1.5 to 2 days. The best part is, I put it on standby before I go to sleep and when I wake up, it only uses 1% of the battery !

2. GPS - Satellite locking is super fast

3. WIFI, Camera, 3G, Video - No complains

4. Performance - very fast. No complains what so ever.

I highly recommend this ROM if you want a fast and stable ROM.

You can download it from this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009

ICS ROM for Galaxy Note: Criskelo ICS ROM V2

It's AWESOME and SUPER FAST RAM. I'll update the battery performance for this ROM in a few days

Here's my experience upgrading from Stock ROM GB 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.2

Briefly, here's the step;

1. Root your galaxy Note - For me, since I was on 2.3.6, I have to use Method 2 in my previous posting here

2. You should have ClockWorkMod app installed - look for CWM icon.

3. Reboot your Galaxy Note

4. Now, download the ROM package (in .zip format) from the link below and save it on your phone memory

Download ROM Here

This part is really tricky so pay attention :-)

5. Launch ClockWorkMod and select under Reboot the option "Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery"

6. Once it's reboot, navigate the menu to install a package ZIP file from phone disk. This is important - you can actually select your options using the touch screen, i.e. no need to use volume up and down buttons.

7. Once install, please reboot

8. After reboot, YOU WILL GET SOME "Unexpected Stop" messages for several application. DON'T DISPAIR. I got the same messages so just follow the steps below.

9. Launch the CMW again, similar to step (5) above

10. Wipe Dalvik cache via recovery (advance section)

11. Wipe data, factory reset again

12. Wipe cache partition

13. Reboot – all ok. – this time booted as if from new, rather than straight into homescreen

Thanks to RootGalaxyNote.com for the guide and instructions

BTW, here is a video on how to install a new ROM using CWM. This video could be confusing so let me know if you have any question.
