Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570) aka Samsung Pop/Tass [Official Users' Thread]
Upgrade to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) now available!!!
Guys, ito na lang gamitin natin thread for our Galaxy Mini para ma-update ko regularyl
Comparing it to my previous Android phone (Samsung Galaxy 5), ito so far I think is the best budget/entry level Android phone because sa price to peformance/feature nya. Price as of 10/04/2011 is around Php7,000 na lang daw. Bagsak presyo na! Bili bili na!
Compared to Galaxy 5
Con:
Display resolution (pinaka downside nya, 256k colors lang)
Pros:
MULTI-TOUCH!!
Froyo 2.2.1 stock OS (upgradeable to Gingerbread)
3.14" display size
Mas responsive yung touchscreen yet hindi masyado sensitive
Mas malaki yung RAM
Gusto ko rin yung matte casing nya dahil hindi prone sa scratches
Ayos din yung proximity sensor (auto-off ng screen during calls)

5. Open 'OpenVPN Installer'. Tap 'Install' > 'Install' > '/system/xbin' > 'system/xbin/bb'
6. Open 'Terminal Emulator'. Type the two commands below -
su
sh /sdcard/script
7. Open 'OpenVPN Settings'
Click 'Menu' > Tap 'Advance' > 'Load tun kernel module'
