I have a few things to say about XXKPE..

1) I believe this is still a beta rom meant for testing , as there are vestiges of developer tools present. For example, notice the 'developer' only battery monitor in the 'Storage' section of Task Manager.

2) Stability is great and everything's so fluid

3) For some reason, Ram usage is higher compared to other firmware like XWKB1. Might be due to developer apps running in background. But this hasn't caused any problems so far.

4) Voice dialer app freezes sometimes.

5) After flashing CWM recovery , minor problems arise for USB mass storage and offline battery charging. I believe even these have been fixed now.

6) After ext4 conversion, benchmarks increase though I noticed no other improvements. A couple of seconds may have been knocked off boot time, but that's it. XXKPE is quite lagfree by itself, so I don't think people need install ext4 support.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
I have installed & used XXKPE for few days now without any problem till today.

But today morning when I switched the phone, it started as normal. But now on the bottom of the screen, only 2 buttons (links) are there.

Applications & Phone are there. Messages & Contacts buttons are missing. Restarting the phone did not fixed the issue. How to correct this?

But when I click Applications & goto the apps menu Messages & Contacts icons are exist in there & work without any problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] go4saket:
I have been using XXKPE for 4 days now but I feel that the battery drains out faster than it did in XXKB3. Does anyone also feel the same?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
I flashed it twice after downloading this ROM after reading the early feedback. I have no issues. Music plays fine for me, even when the screen is off. I also use the Equalizer app which switches presets automatically depending on what type of music I'm listening to.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Ya... You are right.. Battery drains very fast. I can hardly use it for 14 -16 hours then have to find charger.

I did not see any comments on missing textures while running the Quadrant. Or did I miss it. Anyone tested the textures, How about textures in Games? I do not play them, so do not have much idea. If someone report this, it can help other users.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
yes..the textures are missing. For the time, i used kpe all games were working fine including gameloft asphalt6, fast five but sygic is not working fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Strange that I don't see the (excessive) battery drain. Its not any worse than KP9. In fact, it went about 27 hours since I did the 0 to 100 calibration. Use was moderate with about 20 mins of voice calls, 30 odd texts, 1 hour Wi-Fi and about 2 hours of music, 20 to 30 mins of browsing over Wi-Fi and some RSS reading over 3G. No gaming though.

What happens after the ext4 conversion today is another story. I'll post about it tomorrow.

Note: No texture issues in Quadrant or Antutu. Asphalt6 and Angry Birds Rio are the only games I tried and both seem to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] devilz666:
Battery Test

Yesterday at around 10 pm i fully charged my mobile and began testing the battery. I havnt calculated exact figures but I was on wifi for about 16 hours and rest of the time i was connected via gprs.

Sync was on, tweetdeck, facebook, ebuddy, gtalk, skype and gmail were all running as usual ( yeah I have too many IDs that I HAVE to be online on).

This is what I did (approx)

Calls - 80 mins

Chatting - 30 mins

Music - 70 mins

Gaming - 40 mins

And rest of the time my phone was on standby. This was a fairly busy day for me and I wouldn't have played games or turned the music on if not for testing sake.

I got 25+ hrs out of my fully charged phone. It's just purely amazing. Check the image link below

Quadrant textures seem fine :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Hey Misledz and spacebar... thanks for all the amazing work that you people are doing... I hope to flash soon and apply the supercharger script... any chances of cooking up a stock kernel which provides overclocking?

And a small request to both of you..

Can you please post quadrant scores after the supercharger script? Thanks....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Quadrant score's don't get affected with the Supercharger V6 *Sounds like a car :rolleyes:*, It only optimizes the RAM in a manner to make it more responsive and snappy by changing a few values. It's as spacebar said. Quadrant score's are usually heavily dependent on Read/Write + 2D/3D scores.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Then there is some thing wrong with our device compatibility:(. I have at least flashed 10 times. All the time same issue. May be will try to switch to Froyo once again and revert back to GB to test if there is any improvement...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
I tested with quadrant standard from market. The textures seems good.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
In quadrant advanced there are missing textures while in quadrant standard the texture is fine..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] henry2265:
Hi all,

I facing some problem while done the flashing on XXKPE. I have vac unknown so I wanna continue to flash for the second time. But this time my odin didn't detect my phone. USB driver look like fail to detect my phone. Have tried to reinstall latest kies but useless also.

Now my phone facing csc unknown, I do like to ask is there any solution for the this. I also try using other computer but still the same cannot detect my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Does anybody here have their unit turning off frequently while on standby? It happened 5 times already since last night. To think i have already re-calibrated my battery from 0-100. Still i got the same problem this morning. Anyone care to shed light on this? Is it the battery or do i have to re-flash again? It seems to me like there are still some bugs that needs to be ironed out for this FW. Although over-all i'm satisfied with this GB version, except for the aforementioned problem. Btw if it matters i have rooted and installed CWM, but not deodexed and ext4. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Have you tried using ccleaner after uninstalling kies? Or you could try installing the USB driver again for your unit. :)

CLICK ME. You can also use this driver (courtesy of trip007in)

See if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
Does gtalk video and skype video call works. If it works somone post the link.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] henry2265:
Ok .. Will performs this once I reach office later
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@joe.

My unit seem's fine. There's no sudden turnoff or anything. It's all good. Have you tried disabling data package and checked?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
After googling the past few minutes. It seems like it's a common problem for SGS and up to SGS SL all over the world. I thought it's just an isolated case. But anyway i have tried almost any combination i could think off. From turning on/off Wifi, GPS, Data etc. So i'll just post whatever works or not. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeah but the ironic part is your the only user experiencing this o.o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Here in this forum maybe yes, but i'm talking about the entire world. Try googling about Samsung phones randomly shutting off and you'll see what i mean. :) That's why i throw the question here, since most of the techie or people like who tinkers a lot on their gadgets/devices. Would most likely one time or another had/have an experience. And me being a user of Apple and RIM devices. I am somewhat disappointed on my first Android phone. But hey doesn't mean i gave up. I just need some more reading and experimenting with my new gadget.

OT:

And btw i'm planning on going to Cebu either next week or week after. Maybe we could meet somewhere and talk more about my experience. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
@joe: let me join.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
It sir ephrahim can you give me the link of the quadrant advance?

Because I can't see it in the market..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
That would be awesome :D

OT: Then let's all 3 of us meet. Ayala?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
No textures on Quadrant Advanced but games work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
games are working fine but have you noticed the texture problem

Except Fast five Not working
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
Noticed the texture problem only in the Quadrant available with me, i.e, Quadrant Advanced. Never tried the normal Quadrant. Also, I have tried only two games so far, NFS Shift and Splinter Cell Hd, both works fine, and as they did in FroYo.

Are you experiencing texture problems in games as well?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
I'll just inform you once i have my schedule checked.

It's almost two hours since i activated data network mode. So far i haven't experienced random shut off. It seems like the phone is constantly checking/pushing data to and fro the network and phone. And if the phone senses that it takes a long time to connect to the network to fetch the data it puts itself in sleep mode. We'll that's just my theory. :) I hope other members could shed light on this matter.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
I hope someone explains how to re-calibrate the battery. It'd be a real help to newbs like me.

I understand re-calibration is necessary after a ROM change.

Can this done with an App? Or is simple charging to full needed?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
According to misledz let your battery drain till it shuts off itself and charge it till 100..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
I hope he's sure about that. Because, elsewhere I have read draining a Li battery to 0 actually reduces it's lifetime.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
That sounds a lot like hardware creep. Please take it to a service center before it gets worse.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
If you do that 10 times a week, it'll sure affect your battery's charge holding capacity, but once in a while is no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
GTalk video works, as I posted earlier. Make sure you use the version I attached.

Skype, well, very buggy, unreliable and security issues over Wi-Fi. Wait till they release an official working version for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I'm pretty sure about it. Also make sure you do it once per firmware flash. I've done it and so many other's have an it's worked I assure you.

@Space, The i9000 Theme's area has Skype uploaded on it. They say it works for SG2 and etc. And both camera's work. So I'm curious about it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
And should the battery stats be wiped in CWM? When should this be done?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
That's what i suspected at first, i thought there's something with the battery or the board. But as what i have mentioned in my last message after activating the "Network Data mode". I have not experienced the same thing so far. Because i have disabled it yesterday, that's when i begin to have those random shutting off. If ever it will never happen again within this day or after tomorrow. Then i guess it must be culprit. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Aaahhh I knew it... how could I miss it..... damn... anyways thanks for clarifying this clearly to me! I seem to be forgetting things these days!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
yes in Asphlt 6 i have played that one only

take a bike or car in asphalt 6 and you will notice the texture problem

or in the tracks also
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bulimic:
I agree to this..my battery drains fast compared to froyo..maximum of 15hours usage.. But other than that there's no problem as for now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
1. You can't drain your battery to 0 when you are using your phone.

2. To make Li battery fully discharged you have to discharge it with your phone, then don't use it for some time and leakage current will drain it (but very slow)

any devices, that uses Li battery, have blocks to do not charge it to 100% and discharge it to 0.

If you see 100% on you phone screen this means that battery gives about 4.2V and when your phone is off this means that battery gives 3V.

The dangerous limits for Li battery are more then 5V and lesser the 2.5V

That's why don't worry about lifetime. Also if you don't use your battery for big period just charge it to 40% and recharge it every 20 days...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bulimic:
Just use launcher ebproductions it should be fine ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
Have anyone tested usb otg in the new firmware. Reply plz
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] theasters:
That´s the problem I found.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] viviswan:
+1.

With 2.2.1, I used to get about 1.8 days (minimal usage) and now I hardly get ~20 hrs for similar usage after upgrading to GB XXKPE
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
With XXKBE you have a firmware which runs faster, and so runs out of steam faster too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
So this is a common problem. I think XXKPE is yet another unstable release. Even though it appears fine on first sight, there are still some troubles..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I'm experiencing the Gmail sync issue as well now. Someone mentioned that flashing back to XXKB3 resulted in issues - did anyone else experience this issue, or have any proven methods to go back?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] omidsh666:
is vpn problem solved in this version??

because i had problem with vpn with all the other versions i tried , even 2.2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
At your own peril I'd say! Its a piece of c**p, not worth the hassle. My personal opinion of course..

Not necessary.

Haven't had any of those issues (yet). My network data is switched off most of the time as I'm on Wi-Fi. I switch mobile data on only when I'm out and need something. Its a battery hog!

No issues here. And avoid flashing back and forth too many times. It can kill your device..

A small update about Skype: New version has just hit Market and SGS and SGS2 are listed as officially supported. No SGSL in that list. But when I enabled Video calling, it said "Although video calling will work on your device, it's not officially supported."

The thing is, it hangs the device when you launch or receive a Skype video call. Bollocks! Talking about the front camera here, as the back camera on Skype doesn't make any sense to me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Yes i also have this problem but it starts occur frequently from last few days. Normally it happens when I put my phone on standby just after calls end or during playing games or any cpu intensive task.

I am just waiting for stable release, anyone have news from samsfirmware

Update: I have notice that Whenever I click on switch off button for standby then to game during playing homerun 3d. It reboot phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I'll keep that in mind. Only gone from XWKB1 -> XXKB3 -> XXKPE (flash twice) - not much from what i've seen around here, heh.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It was just advice along with the answer.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
Hey guys. Hope you could help me out with this. Date and time aren't automatically updating for some reason. Just noticed now after rooting and deodexing my phone (XXKPE) any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Check your date and time settings to see if Automatic Network Values is enabled. If yes, try a factory rest.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
Sorry for the noobish question but will factory reset remove root and my deodexed status? I'm currently on the ext4 file system, will that go too?

To sum it up, what's the extent of the factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Factory reset doesn't remove root etc. It doesn't touch the system files i think..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
Did a factory reset and time still doesn't automatically update. Something similar happened to me when I was on froyo. After half an hour my phone froze then started boot looping. Hope that doesn't happen again.

If anyone has a solution to this please pm me. I've been unable to find a solution elsewhere(I know it ain't a big deal, but it's still kinda annoying) . Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It will wipe user apps, data and cache. You won't lose root or deodex.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Boot loop after half an hour? Never heard that before, don't know how its possible unless you mess with framework files.

Right now, just reflash.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Does it have anything to do with mounting wrongly in CWM? I heard of someone who mounted incorrectly in CWM and it caused the phone to loop every few mins. Maybe he messed up.,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
Well to be honest there were lots of things that could've gone wrong that time. I was pushing lots of files to boost audio, etc. Then one day I wake up to a really warm phone with a display that didn't want to turn on. After removing the bat to reboot, I noticed the time and call logs weren't being updated. A few phone calls later. Phone hangs. Then boot loop. I won't reflash just to fix a minor detail. But thanks anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
If you mount wrong within CWM, that shows right then. You're screwed and you will know right away. Boot loop AFTER half an hour is strange and nothing in my understanding seems to explain how that's possible. Once you're booted into the system, there's nothing to do with the boot file. So, how do you get a boot loop after half an hour, unless you messed with framework files and tried to reboot. It won't go into a bootloop by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
In data network mode when using android market swith off screen and when returned goes into kernal panic. And when memory is over goes into kernal panic. Any one facing this issue
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I think I finally found the answer. He probably used kernels that weren't supported. Did you use CWM the APK and flash i9000 kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ynshetty:
Guys i flashed to this firmware,everything s great,but my keypad lags a lot in 3x4.i tried many different third party keyboards but everything s the same.any suggestions ll help :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Disable keyclick sounds and reduce haptic feedback :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
So far so good, i'm already at 2% since my last charge or basically 26hrs :eek:. I have used a couple hours of music/video, Wifi. So i could say the battery is great. I haven't encountered random shut-off at all after activating "Data network Mode". I don't know if it is indeed the cause but i'll charge my phone again and try to deactivate "Data network mode" and see if the problem occurs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
And i was just commenting on what i did - no need to be rude mate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Is Any one feeling Bit Slow in the keyboard response???

The Battery Backup Is Just Awesome:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
I think most of us here noticed that. I just followed Misledz suggestion on turning off haptic and key click sound. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ynshetty:
The key sounds and haptic feedback is switched off only,i don't use them still it lags
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I had a screen posted a few days ago regarding the keyboard. 40WPM afaik and no issues via SwiftKey, But there are certain slowdowns, If you combine the RAMScript+v6 Supercharge script it's flawless :). Which keyboard do you use? Go Keyboard and Perfect keyboard tend to lag a bit. I guess you could call it compatibility issues that still aren't resolved. Probably this is another pre-release prior to the incoming mentioned for September. But being a EUR firmware as Pralinos said, I'm highly content with this, EUR firmware's are famous for their stability

@jamsori, He's just being frank, It's not being rude rather--straightforward.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lbraddx:
Thanks for all the hardworking men on this forum for all your dedication to our device. Was able to successfully flash to XXKPE and rooted successfully too without any problems last 3 days ago. My problem happens when i reinstall titanium back, got kernel panic upload mode. Got stunned so i flashed it again and never rooted it yet. Hehehe As u see am a complete noob on this i just know how follow excellent instruction guide. Thank u guys....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
This happens if you root and don't reboot :P After you root with SOC, You need to restart. I know the phone doesn't show a kernel panic but you need to restart after you root. Also part, What rooting method did you use? Steps vary in that. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ynshetty:
Thanks misledz,actually i use the stock keyboard,i tried go keyboard but it lagged more than the stock..i ll try using swift keyboard today and give my suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] raj.amalw:
Does go launcher lag?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Nope. Go Launcher EX is flawless and works perfectly, doesn't lag at all compared to the stock.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Same here. Everything is smooth so far on my end. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Rude? Where did you pick that up? A little humour doesn't hurt mate.. ;)

Only so much can be done.. Oh well.. :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
Heh, sorry i've taken it the wrong way then... i'd say it's a language barrier, but i'm Australian. *cough* :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
One of those things.. forget it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
When applying the supercharger script should I leave it running in the background or "kill" it upon exiting script manager?

and to misledz regarding my past bootloop scenario; I was using an app "audiohack" which pushes certain files into the system in order to boost sound volume and clarity(Dont need that now with XXKPE). I was also tinkering around with service mode, lol. Didnt mess around with CWM back when I was on Froyo.

phone is now rooted, deodexed, converted to ext4, and running (I think) the supercharger script. no problems with lag whatsoever. even my previous issue with swiftkey x lag is now gone (joy!). proper "thanks" will be duly given

By the way I've tried video calls with that modified version of skype. screen would turn black upon initiating the call and phone would lag hard. the person on the other end of the line mentioned that it seemed like my video was loading but thats pretty much it. I uninstalled skype right after since It didnt appear to work and even caused stability issues after quitting :l

P.S.

I've always wanted to go to Cebu T_T
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
If you read my original post about the script, it says run Option 17 (Exit) after you're done. Its a 'run once' script. Doesn't run or need to run in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
my internet connection is nt stable.... it disconnects every 15 to 20 mints...

what to do...? flashed two times... all things work perfect except internet connection.... plz help!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Actually I didn't see the Option 17 either LOL. I was thinking the same, Do I leave it running in the background? Or do I close it hmm.

@sic :D Yeah sometime's incompatible booster's mess up with phone's audio kernel and that's what got the bootloop. A more reliable one is "Equaliser" was suggested by spacebar and I loved it since then, Audio is crisp with the settings he provided. Ah la grande!

PS: Cebu is awesome, Just too hot atm :\

@Additiya, in what sense "Internet Connection?" You mean Wi-Fi? Or your home router? I can't vouch if it's your service provider cutting you for unpaid bills :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Ah my bad, edited the post. I thought it was a bit obvious but anyway.

**If the OP would link it to the 1st post, we'd have a lot less questions about the script and keyboard lags.**
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Actually i was planning on that.. Will do it after i come back home :)
