Although they googled the method, but dont understand especially the term used
in flashing the rom. Some websites did show the steps need to flash phone but didnt have the details..
Now, I want to share a way to update sgw to android lollipop the easiest way..
Perhap those who even dont have any knowledge in flashing rom also can do it

Fyi this rom is still in development. To make sure that the phone run at optimal speed, install memory cleaner to kill the unnecessary background apps from running. From my post, you should know by now on how to update your galaxy w by using recovery mode with ease. As you said, definitely this ROM is lag at some parts and you have the option to change/try other ROM that suited you the best. Here is the link to the page that contains ROM for galaxy w. Good luck

ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for the great tutorial. I get to the stage where I open Rashr, choose 'recovery from storage' , choose recovery.img and it tells me "the chosen image (10MB) is too big for your device (partition 7MB) If you are sure this image is the correct one you are able to skip the size check before flashing. Checkout the settings" Any ideas if I can solve this and still use the method you have shown please?
ReplyDeleteHi-any ideas on this please-i.e. can I increase the partition size, or can I clear down some of the space used by the partition? I've certainly run all cleaning apps I can find (!) and cleared down lots of space on the phone generally...
DeleteHi,i want to update my phone galaxy w and i need the gapps file for kitkat ,but the links doesn't work..
ReplyDeletewhich one i should download?stock,mini,full,...?
can you please help me?
