would anyone care to make a flashable version for KG2 based roms ?! ..

thanks in advance

Villain is kg2 based bro.....first post
[Galaxy S II General] xryptic:
Can we have an updated 1 for villain rom 2.3 based on kg3? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] EyeTech:
Can someone explain why there are 2 sorts of CRT animations on android.

1. Type where whatever is visible on the screen is squashed down to a single white point in the middle of the screen.

2. Image on screen is instantly replaced with a white screen that is squashed down to a single point.

Version 1 is way cooler and more realistic to a crt. I have version 1 on my 7" galaxy tab (running a modified stock GB rom, called overcome). I also have this same version on CM7 for my HD2 (Typhoon rom).

I have only ever seen version 2 for the sgs2. The version with the white pixels, now fixed by modifications in this post is again the less realistic version 2 type.

Why???
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
The Electron beam (CRT animation) is the one and the same on all versions. The "White screen to single point" (Or #2) you speak of is a graphics glitch that is caused by poor rendering of said animation (or #1). There aren't multiple Eletron Beam animations.
[Galaxy S II General] EyeTech:
Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was that. Is that what the update in the opening post describes? If so, doctorcete says he has the glitching crt animation on his galaxy tab? Well my galaxy tab has the proper crt effect. I don't suppose it would be any use to getting this fixed if i posted any of my tab framework (or other) files?
[Galaxy S II General] D.O.C:
No bro, the galaxy aint got it the wqy for ex hd2 does....dont knw exactly as how to describe it.....

Maybe ur right, ghere arent multiple.versions of electron beam...buggy surfaceflinvelger i think is the way to go......easy way to find out....if aosp and cm7 got it right...lets make a diff out of them...or even test them on each other
[Galaxy S II General] EyeTech:
Ok, lets just check we are on the same page here. I've just taken a video of my HD2, Tab and SGS2 CRT effect and uploaded to youtube. Is this the same as you've been seeing? I think the effect on the Tab is good. Certainly the image on the screen is reduced. On the SGS2 there is nothing of the background.

Here is the link

Somebody tell me how to do crt effect myself. Noone seems to help me :-) Help please :-)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I asked once before but nobody helped me :(

I have a Galaxy S II. I am on KE2 stock rom. I have rooted my device. I have some knowledge of how things work... but I am no expert.

Could somebody tell me how to fix my CRT effect? Because right now I am clueless!
[Galaxy S II General] D.O.C:
It is not about not wanting to help.....but here....I will help....adding CRT with blur set to slow was for testing purposes about correcting the pixelated effect.....I you guys want to add a CRT effect to your current build (whatever it is u are using) follow these instructions...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152668

for decompiling and compiling back use this

and that is it...it aint that hard.....only thing hard is to make time to do it right?....I wish I had the time to make custom request but the truth is I dont.....nevertheless you guys have all the tools necessary to make it yourselves...in fact I think youll be more happy and satisfied about not depending on others to mod things the way you like it...

Remeber the thread was about finding out about the CRT effect pixelating bug....not enabling CRT...for that use this thread instead....

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I already have the CRT effect for 2 weeks. I want to make it look good, like the Nexus S. And I see people here have been able to do it.

I just dont know how. I see you talking about some blur set to slow or something.. I have no idea how what to do
[Galaxy S II General] _JKay_:
Its kinda wierd... I think the effect should make a screenshot and then use it for the effect. But it looks like it does not.

But I can see that the pixelation changes after I use home key plus power button to make a screenshot.

If you make a screenshot of a white background then the CRT effect is all white without pixelation.

You can test this by using the quick test menu (*#7353#) and select test 8. Make a screenshot of it and exit.
[Galaxy S II General] D.O.C:
That is a very nice observation.....based on this....take screenshot of anything not white.....CRT pixelated....then take screenshot of white using method above....crt fixed again...and you can go back and forward.....so.....maybe fixing the image that crt is taking could fix it, this means CRT is definetively taking screenshot....using the screencapture application, not using inside libs.......going to run some test now..... now what I need to do is find where the image is temporarily storaged when taking the screenshot...

maybe we are messing it up while deodexing?, I mean the screencapture.apk....has anyone tried it on deodexed builds?

here is a warning of logcat when taking the screenshot...

Warning surface flinger (duh)....[61] is not removed from mLayerMap

So, doing some further reading....again, damn surfaceflinger.cpp coding

http://gitorious.org/android-eeepc/...05ab4c/libs/surfaceflinger/SurfaceFlinger.cpp

look at this

156

ssize_t SurfaceFlinger::LayerVector::reorder(

157

LayerBase* layer,

158

Vector<LayerBase*>::compar_t cmp)

159

{

160

// XXX: it's a little lame. but oh well...

161

ssize_t err = remove(layer);

162

if (err >=0)

163

err = add(layer, cmp);

164

return err;

maybe we got it worng on our libs?

Nice, nice.....now we can go back and forward without reseting.....you are totally right....thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Im currently in a odex XXKG2, taking a picture of the white test page does kinda resolve the CRT pixelated issue.
[Galaxy S II General] D.O.C:
Damn, I was hoping it was something caused by us while deodexing.....

jpeg screenshots

I stumbled onto this thread while looking for a solution for this issue.

The work around does work for me for now, although i force the phone to do a screenshot (either shortcut or long press power) of a pure black background not white. I saw how the effect looks on a nexus s, where it shrinks the image on screen, and i want that... :(

Now what i have noticed, after borrowing a galaxy tab, is the screenshots the tab takes are png while the s2 takes jpg. Maybe an issue with it trying to use a different screen buffer. I'm new to android so I'm not sure, but wanted to throw it out there to see what other people think.

Also, can anyone confirm if the effect works correctly on different roms?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp33d_:
+1 ;) ;) ;)
[Galaxy S II General] GanGs_KiD:
Hi there :D

Sorry to say this....but both "Tab & S2" are take png files ;)

Also i did modified the Tab's ScreenCaptureService.apk and i make it works on S2 and...........:eek: it has the same problem:(

Any new ideas :)

peace:cool:

Ok but, how to turn off crt, cuz i dont like this :(
[Galaxy S II General] donchen:
Was this fix ? I am getting it right now. Pretty annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] Azriaphale:
While not directly applicable to the thread (was looking for info on screencap).

I’ve had a thought (rare thing for me), I’m wondering if some of the issues with the CRT effect is something to do with the keys used to run screencap (home+power) on the SGS 2, on the orginal SGS it was back (hold) and home.

Home and power seem a stupid set of keys, normally takes me 3 or 4 attempts to get it just right.

Just a idea, feel free shoot this thought down lol

By the way does anybody know how to change the keys for screencap :-)
[Galaxy S II General] MICa.fighter:
i used to need a few attempts to make a screenshot too, but i just didnt know the "proper" way. try this:

1. push home button and hold

2. then push the power button and hold

3. hold the 2 button at the same time

4. relase the power button

5. relase the home button

btw you have to do it fast, but the important thing is the order of buttons, and that you have to wait a little between every step. hope this helps

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
Please refer to my post yesterday when comparing I/O schedulers on Galaxian V1.8 running at 1Ghz using the Androbench storage benchmark tool.

I came to the conclusion that there is actually not much in it and that I would use the noop I/O scheduler.

I decided (whilst on the train) to compare these results to RFS mountred file systems using the Androbench storage benchmarking tool.

Androbench runs sequential reads, sequential writes, random reads and random writes and displays MB/s throughput for sequential I/O operations, and IOPS for random IO opertions.

Typical average I/O benchmark results using /data mounted as EXT4 (noop)

Sequential Reads:	19 MB/s

Sequential Writes:	9 MB/s

Random Reads: 1161 IOPS

Random writes:	45 IOPS

I then converted all file systems to rfs and re-ran Androbench @1Ghz

Typical average I/O benchmark results using /data mounted as RFS (noop)

Sequential Reads:	19 MB/s

Sequential Writes:	9 MB/s

Random Reads: 1150 IOPS

Random writes:	91 IOPS

The results are the same except random writes are at least twice as fast on RFS than they are on EXT4 - WTF!!!

I then ran some Quadrant tests and guess what, I got a score of approx

1750 on RFS against a score of 2200+ on EXT4 - WTF!

Hang on, the only thing I have changed is the file system and I've changed it for a faster file system, yet Quadrant returns a lower score??????

Guess I could run the tests using a different benchmark but I've stuck with Quadrant as this is the standard test everyone uses....

If RFS is faster, why does quadrant return lower scores?

Is ext4 only needed to get a reasonable quadrant score?

Comments Folks !!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Peacemanibk:
Try a benchmark for database operations - as quadrant also measures this and they depend on the filesystem too - maybe the difference pops up there ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
RFS IS Faster then EXT4 !!

Used RL benchmark which uses SQLite database to perform :-

1000 inserts

25000 inserts within transaction

25000 inserts into indexed table in a transaction

100 selects with no index

1000 selects on string comparison

create index

5000 selecsts with index

1000 updates without index

drop table

This obviously uses CPU and RAM but the greatest influence will be I/O.

Note that RFS and EXT4 tests were both performed after a fresh file system conversion.

RFS RESULTS (1Ghz CFQ I/O scheduler)

=============================

Run #1 42.171 secs

Run #2 55.54 secs

Run #3 53.417 secs

EXT4 RESULTS (1Ghz CFQ I/O scheduler)

===============================

1Ghz CFQ scheduler

Run #1 64.981

Run #2 74.136

Run #3 73.441

Well, there we have it, RFS is faster than EXT4 (at least after a fresh install), I did find an article stating that Quadrant doesn't cope very well with Samsung RFS file system which is why Quadrant results look lower than what they really are.

I think the logical thing to do is simply run with the RFS file system, and check the results of Androbench say weekly so see if results get worse as the FS fragments. Beats having to convert to EXT4 and proves that Quadrant is producing dodgy results when running on the Samsung RFS file system.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hybrid Core:
amazing but I had the stock firmware with RFS and now I have the lagfix with ext4, now is much faster... that's just a benchmark I think...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bavaria85:
Would be very interesting if someone checked it after being on rfs for a while. I'm always on ext4 since i thought rfs would be slower after some time. And i think most people are on ext4 for this reason
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocMarc73:
Why not use both fs? I have my system partition on rfs (as is should be read only anyway) and have data/dbdata on ext4 and cache on ext4nj. Latest speedmod here. Absolutely smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocky23:
even i thought et4 is fast but i saw afta installin plenty apps its the same as stock ,no diff....so i am on rfs ,no lagfix anything,only rooted thts it...well the benchmark is less compard to et4 but i think rfs works fine for me on gb....:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I don't know if it's just me but I do find RFS faster than EXT4.

Used to be on speedmod ext4 but I found apps such as worms, PvsZ ran considerably laggy on EXT4.

Converted back to RFS and lagging seems to be gone.

(sometimes still lags a bit but not as bad as on EXT4)

In my experience, RFS has come a long way and it is just as good as EXT4 now.

From now I'm going to stay with stock RFS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
Will check out speed in a week to see how well rfs is running to see if fragmentation slows it down. Perhaps we need to look at a new file system like btrfs which ubuntu are thinking about using as new default!

Sent using geek power
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
RFS is a FAT based filesystem, right? Fragmentation will definitely slow it down with the time. And that is something that does not happen with more advanced filesystems like xfs, ext4 or btrfs.

Using btrfs is a very good idea. This is especially true, as it also has some enhancements for flash based storage. But not as long as it is still not considered stable by kernel developers....

BTW. don't trust any benchmark that you have not falsified yourself
[Galaxy S I9000 General] me_ashman:
Try damiens latest ext4 and no jounals. I'm getting quadrant score 3300+.

Sent via ET and he phoned it in
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bavaria85:
This thread is actually exactly NOT about quadrant scores because they don't tell anything. I hear people getting 5000+ by just setting up things that quadrant likes. This doesn't tell you anything about the actual performance of your phone.

The only reason I use quadrant or other benchmarks is to see 2d/3d performance. Although this doesn't tell you everything since framerate is often capped at 56/67 hz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mucinch:
Is this possible with SGS stock-based ROMs?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/enter-godmode/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bavaria85:
No idea if it is possible but i think it is since partition is not that much device related.

Would be cool if some Dev took a look at this...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] invernomuto1976:
+1 my sgs is definitely faster with ext4 than with stock RFS.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] parhelion69:
The only filesystem that I've felt significantly faster than rfs is ext2. ext 4 feels a tad SLOWER than rfs and can fragmentation affect flash devices? I believe fragmentation is only an issue with magnetic drives...

Anyway, ext2 should be great since you rarely have a power outage (even if the battery runs out, the phone shuts down...) I used all ext2 with damian's kernel (back a while ago when I used it) and you could tell apps were snappier and started much faster, while on ext4 I even felt that the phone slowed down. I blame journaling (which imho isn't really needed)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblist90:
Hey all, was wondering if anyone could answer this who currently owns a Transformer Keyboard Dock.

Since the dock has a battery built into it, can I charge devices via USB without the tablet docked into the keyboard or does the tablet have to be docked in order to use the USB to charge the device?

Also, I have seen pictures of a usb adapter for the transformer but cannot find it anywhere. Anyone aware of it's availability?

Thanks so much for the help!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heman22union:
I just plugged a mytouch 3g into the usb port of the dock with the tablet disconnected and it did not charge the device. But as soon as I docked the tablet it started charging.

The usb adapter you describe I'm pretty sure hasn't been released yet.

hope that answered your question :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblist90:
yes thank you, just unfortunate as to what the answers are. have been putting off purchasing a tablet but after seeing that $100 coupon off tablets at staples this morning i am very tempted to finally pick up a transformer. Just concerned about keeping my Thunderbolt charged while tethering it to the tablet since I don't really have a strong need for the keyboard dock as of now. hope the usb adapter comes out soon.

what are your honest thoughts on the transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
i tried to charge my Blackberry with my keyboard dock and it wouldn't work at all..with or without the tablet docked.

steps:

1.root explorer

2.put the boot animation file you just downloaded on your phone.

3. use root explorer go to system/media and scroll down you will see bootanimation.zip change it to bootanimationold.zip

4.go to sd card and find the bootanimation.zip you just downloaded long press on it and hit move.

5. move to data/local (file must be name bootanimation.zip if not rename or it will not work)

6.Reboot and enjoy!

*in the data/local you can only have one file named bootanimation.zip so if you want to replace one name the old file bootanimationold.zip*
