check if this helps.theres audio boost apps too but i personally feel these apps take the quality of sound down to increase the volume.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I hate trolls, so its a bit disturbing to be called one. Anyway, i know you didn't mean it that way.. ;)

I'll sort your audio issues once I get everything else up to scratch.

Jesus!

Converting File System

Hi Guys

I have an Idea for the ones who converted their phone to EXT4 filesystem

there is a file the we used to format our phone to ext4 (ext4-format.zip)

the content of the file is

ui_print("Formatting partitions with ext4...please wait!");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/datadata");
unmount("/cache");
unmount("/data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl9");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl10");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl11");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);

so I think we can change the EXT4 to original file system format by editing this files.

by doing this we dont need to flash with all files.we can use the PDA file only

I have PM skin about this idea

If you know this method then please Respond

Did you tried equalizer?

It really increased my phone sound output.

I am quite happy with my sound now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
LOL WOW You had to quote it to fill 3/4 of the viewing page ROFL. Well I did quote. LW stands for Live Wallpaper :P! And LW is lag.free :D! I would tap the water in the water LW and then quickly tap dialer press a few buttons, then home and I would still see the ripples fading off. That's how smooth it is :D

Angry birds doesn't lag, haven't recalibrated it yet as I am on the verge of a complete drain :D. Also take note this is an official release :P Haven't tried GChat yet, as I don't have much friends on it. FOREVER ALONE GCHAT. :confused:

@jit, Thanks for the hotlink to that thread, But I doubt it will work on SGSL, Plus im pretty on edge with firmware codes :P We had a few bumouts with member's who bricked camera firmware with the update code.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It is possible but the problem is it'd be too complicated considering KPH is a one file ROM. You'd have to go through pit flash and repartition in order to get back to rfs anyway. I don't think zip flash of a script can simply restore it back to stock rfs. But I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
I tried to see may be Kies update my firmware if I change my ip address to UK IP.

But after connect my phone with pc kies detect that i am on kpe so it write "this firmware cannot be upgradable"

So upgradation will not work on phone with leak kpe.

Register there as a free user then install a plugin for browser. Then you can convert your normal url into premium link for free.

It is a one time long procedure but try Worthy in your situation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
I actually have the same idea as vivek, considering on my Galaxy Tab with Voodoo lagfix kernel, I can simply convert back to rfs and flash a newer firmware with no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jooode:
Hello All:

First of all thank this great work and I e know many waiting to be ported to a custom rom.

What I've done:

1) install the firmware THROUGH Odin. XXKPE

2) Install the firmware PDA XXKPH as Odin.

3) install GT-PDA-XXKPE I9003_PDA-fixed with Odin.

3) open and press SuperOneClickv1.9.1 GingerBreak and Root.

4) installed by Deodx_XKPE cw

5) install CF-ROOT - I9003 - Beta as a PDA with Odin.

and voila, I have installed Legen _x_tripin and so far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kumar.gaurav85:
which theme is this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
And you have a Frankenstein firmware mixed of KPE and KPH as you're using the KPE kernel and deodexed system apk from KPE. This is not the right way.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
so...kind of a dumb question (i guess), but if i've done nothing to my phone (i.e xxkpe and NOTHING but xxkpe), i can just flash that one PDA file without problems? (...ok, flash twice without problems?)

@jooode: You used CWM for XXKPE which includes the kernel of XXKPE, next you deodexed using leo's CWM zip which contains deodexed system apks of XXKPE. Those replaced your new and shiny XXKPH respective components. That's what I meant.

Wait for the dev to actually port stuffs over, if you can't do it yourself.

Does this method by [Ramad] could work?

[Guide] How to re-package firmwares for Odin [Windows & Linux] :

This will demonstrate repackaging a 1 file firmware to a 3 files firmware.

By following this guide, any firmware can be repackaged as re-partition ready firmware that can be used directly with any pit file.

Any boot.bin and Sbl.bin can be removed/deleted/excluded during firmware repackaging.

Also, in "original" I9000 CWM, there were an option in recovery to switch between RFS & Ext4 filesystems, isn't it the case with Skin's CWM?

You might try spoofing the firmware instead of your IP, as I suggested before :
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jooode:
so we should understand is that not put the files Deodex XXKPE

is yes? :confused:

XXKPH works just fine on my mobile so far. I was using XXKB3 before and first upgraded to XXKPE and then to XXKPH. Samsung Kies recognizes my phone as PDA:KPH/PHONE:KPH/CSC:KPH (KOR)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gmacev:
Hi. New here. Just flashed the XXKPH like this: first I flashed XXKC1 (official European stock rom) than using KIES I updated to XXKPH.

Short feedback:

GPS is amazing, I got lock on 9 satellites in <5 seconds when in froyo KB3, with all the software gps fixes out there, I had to wait, on best scenario, half a minute to get lock on 6 satellites.

Stock Quadrant result 1210.

There is a strange texture bug in Sygic navigation when viewing the map. Also noticed it in Quadrant during GPU tests.

Battery seems more long-lasting.

There is a new default GPS navigation app "Drive & Walk" with ability to download maps for offline usage.

The phone seems to be more responsive, less laggy.

Thats all for now.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
Flashing from KB3 (Froyo) -> All of KPE files -> KPH as PDA worked a treat for me. Thanks for the guide and feedback everyone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Feedback as of now:

Rooted using SOC, running amit's new CWM, deodexed.

Flash procedure:

- Flashed clean XXKPE. Factory reset and flashed KPH as PDA.

- Flashed the Battery_Fix KPE CWM and rooted using SOC 1.9.1. That version seems to work flawlessly everytime.

- Flashed the normalboot.img from KPH.

- Deodexed using xUltimate 2.8

- Restored user apps with TB.

- Flashed amit's XXKPE CWM.

All up and running fine.

Feedback

:

- Everything seems to be running fine. No lags at all. A little loss of snappiness compared to KPE but I guess that'll be gone with an ext4 conversion.

- The usual system apps i.e. Camera, Wi-Fi, 3G data, all work fine.

- GPS locks within 5 secs and found 12 satellites and locked 10. I used GPS Aids though. Before that it was taking about 10 secs and found about 6 to 8 satellites.

- Audio is exactly as it was on KPE. Pretty good. Equalizer app with tested settings make the sound punchier and round. No complaints there.

One thing I noticed is small skips and cracks in music that occurred on KPE while multitasking PowerAmp with other apps is gone now. So, pretty glad at that too.

- Video at 720p records fine without any stutter when recording moving objects or moving the cam itself.

- Video formats tested include avi, mp4, mkv, vob, divx. HD mp4 and avi played fine, HD mkv was fine at 720p but fluttered at 1080p.

I'll update when I test more formats.

- Antutu scored 2694 while Quadrant scored 1379. Pretty decent.

- Network signal strength is fine. Calls are clear and loud. No surprises there.

- I'll update about the battery life tomorrow after it goes through the cycle.

I'll suggest everyone to use the tweaks in the CWM carefully. I'd recommend to avoid using Governor settings as of now. Everything esle is fine, although I'm not very sure about Kernel tweaks yet.

I'll update this post as and when necessary. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
actually all you have to do is download the country specific kies from the country specific site (means: go to russian samsung site, dl kies from there, install, connect phone, should work)

did that on my last froyo FW to wait for official GB for the region and well my phone got recognised with "no new updates available" instead error message thingo...

then again for that to work you would need RU Froyo

any1 in the mood to try?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gentlemenkiller:
many thx u
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Did anyone notice the new option in "Vibrate"? Also I noticed the following,

-Lockscreen sound has been increased, It sound's pretty loud compared to the soft "plok" Now its sounds like you chopped vegetables.

-Sound with headphones sounds louder and intensely crisp now. I noticed there's a slight improvement with the audio quality, That or it's just Equaliser showing it's best performance in a stable release.

-Notifications are now at +20% Louder. I noticed when I was in the taxi today despite the radio being turned on to average the phone made sure it was heard.

-Offline battery charging seems to work fine now, Used the XXKPH normalboot.img after rooting and I've had no issues, using the XXKPE+RAMScript+BatteryFix, Even though some claim that this didn't rectify the issue.

@space, When flashing the CWM+RAMScript, I noticed that the snappiness of the phone seemed to have died down a bit, There are super tiny hiccups but that's not an issue. Although I did like feeling the snappiness.

@Ponda, Did you flash it already?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
xxkph? nope, gonna do it first thing in the morning
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Like what the mother duck, It's like 6am there, You fasting? :O Then again, In regards to your question, It's worth the flash btw. So far so good it's pretty stable. Just there seem's to be incompatibility with RAMScript at this time with hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
To add to misledz and space's impressions: Comparison between stock XXKPH and XXKPE with CWM/CF-ROOT ext4

I would say stock XXKPH without CWM or anything feel smoother than XXKPE with CWM/CF-ROOT ext4. I don't know why that is but for example TouchWiz AppDrawer Pinch to zoom out is butter smooth on stock XXKPH.

AAC in mp4 container with mp4 tag has issue. Artist tag can't be read. This is the same as XXKPE.

2D rendering speed is a little bit better on XXKPH (Plants vs Zombies).

3D rendering in Raging Thunder that used to failed on Froyo because of some missing texture or completely failed on XXKPE due to more missing texture, now works perfectly.

Still can't play any 720p/1080p HD anime mkv fansub. Most of them can be played on Galaxy Tab, weird as others reported otherwise but might be because of different files.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
I think it has more to do with ext4 module as I have disabled everything on CF-ROOT with ext4 and the phone is still not as smooth as without CF-ROOT. This is XXKPE experience. Haven't done anything to my shiny new XXKPH flash :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] n50user:
Hi,

I am already on XXKPE so i assume i just need to factory reset and then flash KPH as PDA? Just 2 steps rather then reflash KPE again or latona.pit.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well, I don't really know if playing 1080p videos on a 4" makes a difference :P But 720p should suffice unless your on a G|Tab.

Id stick to stock if root was permitted via stock. Sadly you are required to flash a CWM of some sort to get it alive and kicking.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
I just tested for the sake of testing. I can't stand watching anything on a screen smaller than my LCD at home (23" IPS display), still prefer my DLP setup though.

Updated To XXKPH

How I Updated To XXKPH

Note: I Was using EXT4 Format For My Phone

1) Select The New PDA ( I9003XXKPH_I9003XXKPH_I9003SERKPH_HOME ) File in Odin and Click Start

2) After the pass is shown,Phone Rebooted

3) Stuck at the booting

4) Boot into Download Mode & Select GT-I9003_PDA-XXKPH-CF-Root-v1.0.tar as PDA and click Start

5) Clear Cache & Dalvik Cache

6) Done !!!

No Need To Flash With KPE files
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I'd suggest you do a clean reflash if you've done ext4 conversion in the past. Its not a big deal, will take 5 odd mins anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
How's the lag on that CF-ROOT version vivek?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
I didn't Find The CRT or Overscroll Glow In this firmware !!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
hmm seems worth a flash :P

but 1 question... i keep reading flash CF-Root - deodex - flash latest CWM << whats the difference? i mean CF root comes with CWM no?

well waiting for KPH deodexed system files before i flash - not comfy deodexing em myself messed it up before and had to reflash the whole thing again :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
As i said in my feedback, no noticeable lag anywhere. An ext4 conversion will make things a bit snappier though.

None of Samsung's bloody ROMs have it, for God knows what reason! :mad:

Their design team is nuts. Touch**** launcher and cutting out the cool stuff from the stock UI. No one has been able to understand them.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
All that "flash older CWM>Root>Flash new normalboot" stuff was before there was the CF_ROOT version for this f/w.

Now you can just flash the CF_ROOT and bang!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
i u're in clean xxkpe, its won't be a problem using steps that u mentioned but..

if u're in xxkpe with ext4/cfroot u'll have sammy kiss ur boot :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
As I said in my feedback, mysteriously as it is. Stock actually feel smoother than CWM/CF-ROOT w ext4 for me on XXKPE so I have been reluctant to do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
thats what i was thinking, thanks for clarification
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Slashed12345:
I think it's because of that overscroll (don't know what it's called but m talking about the effect in which the list scrolls a little bit more after the end of a list) effect. Samsung put a lot of effect to include that in their firmwares rather that the abrupt end of list in previous versions of stock android. Maybe that why they didn't include the glow effect. Also noticed that the developers option is still present in task manager.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Something I just noticed:

RAM is at 190 MB free now most of the time with the same number of apps installed. On KPE, with all mods and tweaks applied, I never had more than 100 to 110 MB free. :eek:

Pretty neat!!!

I have all except Governor & Stagefright selected in CWM "Tweaks" and it seems to be launching spacecrafts! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
That option is also available on official 2.3.3 asian firmwares for the Galaxy Tab. That's normal.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Well, NO ONE wants that bouncy nonsense they "so diligently" put in, replacing the stuff people actually want (aka overscroll glow and the CRT effect)! What the bollocks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
That's cool. Can you test TW Appdrawer pinch to zoom out for me, whether it's smooth or laggy? I don't want to risk another flash just to go back to stock (no CWM/CF-ROOT so no root) and reflash everything again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
woah, calm down! fyi, i am fasting and it was 5 AM when i posted that :D

well, it's 7:10, gonna flash now

Someone help me,i used to use xkpe,now changed pda to xkph,the live wallpapers lag like dog **** in this,it nebver used to happen in froyo,any idea
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
With LWP applied, it works absolutely fine. No issues whatsoever. Pinch to overview is smooth and fast with widgets and all that stuff.

But I'm with GO EX, heaven! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
It seems you tested at the wrong place I meant you can pinch to zoom out in TouchWiz Appdrawer (after you press on Application from the Home screen). That's the place that is ridiculously laggy if I applied CWM/CF-ROOT and ext4 conversion with XXKPE. Would you mind to confirm this again for me? Pretty please :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Never mind! I finished the download! I downloaded it at three in the night, so, I gt a 16 mbps speed !! Thank you anyway !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
http://db.tt/itxDOOT

Here's the screenshot. I got 3000+ qudrant score. Believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, flashed it, and i realize it's not that much different from kpe, but definitely an improvement. the lag i talked about in the games from kpe is gone (tried angry birds and diversion, nothing else so far). quadrant score after 4 homescreens, a couple of widgets, one full of icons and the other having only 3 icons and (i guess) a few processes running in the background (nothing big, the market might've been one), was 1170 which is actually greater than my quadrant score with kpe (1120)

no, live wallpapers don't work the way they should. on froyo, they worked (relatively) fine, on kpe they lagged the home screens and app drawer a lot and kph is something between those two. pinch to zoom out in the app drawer works smoothly (and yes, i know what i'm talking about), as does pinch to zoom out on the home screens

i was already satisfied (mostly) with kpe, and kph has so far proven to have fixed what i felt was wrong with kpe, so definitely gets recommendation from me
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Monkey balls... Big problem!

Busybox stopped working all of a sudden, kept saying "root access denied". Tried all sorts of stuff but had to reflash in the end. Now, Busybox won't install at all. su permission is given, but then installation fails.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
Just when i was about to flash this. Anyway it's worth waiting for the solution. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
were u using viveks exploit or amid/skin's CF-root? (just out of interest)

exactly my thoughts

rather impossible without "cheating" of some sort
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Its not cheating. More of optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
thats why cheating in quotes...

no matter what though, its not a real score...

only thing that matters are real scores (although i still fail to see what quadrant scores proof when it comes to speed)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Yup. I agree. They don't determine speed of the phone. Just r/w speed and visual that kind of stuff. So that's what u meant when u say cheating?? Sorry for misunderstanding.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I went through the PDA-hopping to get the root but then amit poted the CWM and I flashed it later. Caused a kernel mess I suppose.

Anyway, all's back to normal now. Had to do it all over again except that I didn't have to PDA-hop this time.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
And what exactly did you optimize, if I may ask?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
so if i flash a clean KPE - then the KPH PDA - then CF-Root - and deodex i should be fine?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
So you're saying that it's not safe to use amit's CF Root exploit (err skins :rolleyes:)?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
bro i also flashed cf-root posted by amit late night but everything is perfect. Not a single problem I am experiencing bro.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
i guess what he is saying is...

if u come from deodexed, themed and ext4-rd KPE and directly flash KPH (or KPH PDA with KPE CSC's modem etc) then use vivek's exploit and over that flash the -now removed- CF-Root, the system gets screwed

at least thats how i understand it
