I'm done with Samsung Galaxy i9000.

Hi all. I recently purchased a unlocked 16GB Samsung Galaxy i9000 because of the sound quality, expecting it to make it my main phone for daily use.

I've tried all CM and CM-based roms for it, expecting to keep it up to date. Developers have made a great work porting the roms and I can do nothing but praise what have they done.

But it's an old phone meant for apps of years ago, and now it's time to retire it.

I install facebook lite, tweetcaster, spotify and waze, and these are apps that create a zillion files for caching purposes and when I open them they take ages to load and more than desired, hang the phone.

512MB of ram and what I think is the speed of internal eMMC (moviNAND or whatever) are the reasons of this.

I tried different filesystems tuning their features but no. It's a hardware issue and this is what it is. WYSIWYG.

My brother has a Sony Z2 and this guy makes app fly. Not only more RAM and better processor, but a faster internal speed make the things happen as they should be.

So... bye, bye. SGS. You won't believe it, but I'm back to my HTC Chacha until I find a new phone that keeps up to what I need.
