I have just gotten some user reports saying it's the fastest they have tried. Not sure how many fw they have tries and which, and it may be slower then someone els.

Link to Nor fw should be in first post by OP, if not working send me a PM and I'll give u download link.

EDIT: I just saw that u need premium user to download (wtf). I'll upload it on another site asap.

So...just tried CE1 and NO generic FW, coming from the ES-PT. In both CE1 and NO I noted the phone faster loading the widgets and then smoother in general.

Did a AnTuTu Benchmark test (I think there's a discussion in the forum about this) just to have a point of comparison:

ES-PT - 6211
CE1 - 6320
NO - 6512!!!!

That's so cool my friend! One more that can confirm the Norwegian firmware is one of the fastest fw's (if not the fastest?).

Yeah, been some discussing about AnTuTu but I think it's a decent benchmark app.


I will upload the Norwegian firmware at another host soon!!! So you guys don't have to be premium Speedy user to download, but you can always send me a PM and I'll provide another link that are for "emergencies"..

I can't upload until tomorrow but send me a PM if you want it now. :)

I think the battery life is pretty good. It's lasting just over a day with not much use.

You are suppose to get a image file when you extract the content in the .rar file.
Have you tried flashing the image file in Flashtool? Prerooted img is not the firmware itself, it's just an image of the system firmware that is rooted.

Lol, I forgot. You can not use flashtool to flash the img, you need to use fast boot "fastboot flash boot YOURFILENAME.img" and replace the yourfilename.

Phone screen turns on and off automatically while listening music

Hi,
I recently flashed my phone with .73 Central Europe FW and strangely sometimes(not always) my phone wakes up while listening music. It turns on for some time and then turns off after a second this repeats 3-4 times and then stops.
Also i listen some creaking sound when the volume is full and the volume automatically sometimes becomes low and then suddenly high. Any ideas about this? Is my phone OK or did i messed up anything while flashing this FW?
Thanks for helping.
Regards
