yeah it will be out in a few days i guess... im running DLH9 there now which has just been released today - its not official so you wont get it unless you do it yourself
its smooth alright.. settings have had a huge change.. theres loads more options and variations. the notification bar has changed somewhat, brightness doesnt take up as much room and other notifications are like as if they are in a higher resolution so more fit there, and things like facebook notifications show a preview of what has been said etc. so they utilise the space if theres just one notification. i got a boards email and i cud read it without opening it pretty much
theres a blocking mode option there also (where sound, sync, wifi etc are) so if you are going into a meeting or whatever it will disable people being able to call you. seems awesome in theory
phone is slicker. much much slicker. everything is instant. it was fast before but it just seems soooo snappy there now
it looks like the ram on the phone will increase as the default 208Mb that was reserved for camera and the other stuff is being changed, or freed up somehow so now there is going to be 808Mb available (thats what the current H9 version has) there was talks in the dev forums about freeing some of this up and it seems samsung have found a way.
i guess this adds to the slickness improvement. though jellybean itself is supposed to be smoother i guess thats why also.
ive also had no issues. in dlh7 there was browser issues and keyboard issues also had apps like facebook with problems. Swiftkey won't work on this though is all.
Stock keyboard is much improved though is all.predictive is way better and adds words 0 -

ugh. its getting annoying at this stage :P
im running dl9 and its perfect. no bugs except swiftkey keyboard doesnt work once i did a wipe, but stock has improved since it remembers added words now. i dont wanna have to wipe everything again to get this working is all, as i have gta, fifa and a few other games installed which are around 2Gb of download so id have to download everything again.. let alone backups etc which took a few hrs to get going.
the main benefit of the OTA that i see is the odin files when i check to see if newer software is available, say im on a custom firmware so it cant check. I'm guessing the OTA would solve this, and not require re-wiping every time you update it, but rather would just be the update each time instead of the whole file. (and ota can be flashed with odin anyway afaik, just the base firmware needs to be the correct one).
ill check it out later anyways when i finish work i reckon to see whats up
apparently an inside source revealed the update is set for late this month/early next month. though clearly they are still in the bugfixing stage 0 -

Also , when I 1st updated I was getting a continuous Media.process FC - Went in and cleared the Cache from the "Media Storage" app and that solved that problem..
i had that and did a factory/data reset to clear it :P
i guess your solution may have been slightly better :P
i also had google.process or soemthing else which was FC also, though, although i guess there is a similar workaround to fix that
recommendations are to check this new rom so?0 -

Actually, I was getting the Google.Process one as well , the 2 would pop-up one after another..
The Media cache clear solved both
In terms of the ROM - It's swings and roundabouts I think...
I was running LH8 and it never gave any problems
This latest one is smoother/faster and I like the new features like Blocking mode and obviously the fact that they tweaked the memory so that you now have 818Mb available instead of the previous 788Mb helps performance , but I do get the odd FC from TouchWiz.0 -

I updated mine yesterday through Kies, it's on build no BLG8 and baseband version LH1. I can't see the Block mode and my RAM has 779mb. Where do i get a newer build? Had a look on XDA but can't see it anywhere.
Thanks
since you are on BLG8 you will be able to get the OTA version and flash via odin. it will probably be included in the download on sammobile (linked above)
scroll to OTA files, download the DLI2 file i guess. looks like the latest version. flash with odin.
xda forums should have a link.
ill go at my phone later and then post u instructions how to do it.
downloading the files takes a while
its an unofficial update. kind of a preview of the upcoming version. should be good when released. at the minute even i cant see any bugs0 -
