If you have KPH not need to reinstall KPE :)

Please before send request, read posts.. this question have replied more times :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neojith:
Thank you, nama !!

If NAMA feels unappreciated, its our fault... The first custom rom for our phone came from him.. Great work, buddy.. Thanks for putting up with us and continuing to develop the ROM.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Namaless:
Yes I know.. More developers learn to my rom :=)

Thanks man ;)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jooode:
I spent some time reading other threads, and have not found anything about that at present the only rom that works is his.

implies. that developers do not want, to promote the path of I9003. but his own fame.

a union that would be better to work at ports and enhance the performance of I9003 for us.

thanks Namaless:(

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
as promised, i flashed this rom

quadrant scores are actually LESS than my previous setup (kph, ext4, skin's OC kernel); 1764 without ext4, 1816 with ext4. overall performance is silky smooth, though and there's some improvement with live wallpapers, which is awesome. as is the amohnt of available ram. further testing with games and battery later (gotta charge this thing!)

i have three minor complaints, though:

1. the alarm app really does force close; not a huge problem, but i'd appreciate your fixing it. and when you do, could you make the update a cwm flashable zip? thanks!

2. i personally wouldnt use the xperia arc launcher. you lost that dock background, which is good. but still...luckily, i had 4 or 5 other launchers on board (;)) and can get tw 4.5 easily enough

3. wha, no swype or gmail AT ALL?

in all, definitely worth flashing if alarms arent too important to you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
My backup app is expired.. ^^
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] madi3d8:
I got auto-reboot everytime i use something relate to root.

For Example: i open add-free and update new hosts, phone autoreboot

or I use "Market Enabler" to fake to us-Market, phone auto-reboot too.

Something wrong ? I got FULL KPE, then flash this.:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
adfree is SUPPOSED to reboot. i can't explain why off the top of my head (the contents of that warning message keep slipping my mind), but it's supposed to. haven't used market enabler yet, but maybe it needs a reboot too

you know you have a problem if root explorer or something makes the phone reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Just flash the Gitaxian file through Odin again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
I have used adfree every time i flash a new ROM - it DOES NOT REBOOT the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
If i am correct - there are two clock applications in the ROM

Both are called "Clock" - but one is 96.00 KB and the other one is 1.17 MB

Go to Setting -> Application -> Manage Application -> All --- and check

Start using the one that is 1.17 MB - it does not give any FC error
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
perhaps you choose your external sdcard and it hampers the scores.

try choosing the sdcard in the phone instead.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
one question: how to get ext4 and w/o ext4?

I thought it is already ext4 when we flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kuzkuz:
Flashed in a snap from clean xxkpe:

-clock and alarms working great out of the box

-the default launcher is smooth and simple, really liked it. It also loads correctly every kind of widgets (tw 4 or 4.5 does not e.g. controls) so kudos to it.

-wifi syncs faster and i have the feeling that it keeps better the signal

i applied some mods:

-pushed new market from blaqkarma rom

-pushed socialhub and im from sgsII thread here on xda

i also re-installed gmail (personally i think most of use use it so it's not worth removing it, plus it's a "small" app so no big improovements in removing it

The design is very nice and simple: 100% usability oriented, love it.

because of the stability and the general improovement i suggest making ext4 by default

Great ROM, good job Nama i really appreciate your work, keep working on it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
^ afaik its already on ext4.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
it does that for me every time i run the app or even update the hosts file

hm...thanks for the heads up, i'll look into it

EDIT: this man speaks the truth ;). a shame that the smaller clock.apk doesn't work - apparently, my beautiful widget was set to launch into that one when i pressed the hours side and it had a nifty interface, but force closed at alarm. oh well, now the disturbing lack swype and gmail are my only problems with this rom

from nama's OP:

"Default file system is RFS - EXT4 required"

i got the first score soon after flashing the rom, so no ext4

in order to get ext4, i flashed this zip file in cwm:

https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/ext4-format.zip?w=dbae8e6a&dl=1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Kernel Supports EXT4 is one thing - file system actually being on EXT4 is another

Gitaxian has a kernel which supports EXT4, but by default the file system is RFS

You quadrant score will shoot up once you convert the file system from RFS to EXT4.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kuzkuz:
correct me if wrong but it's not on ext4 by default
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Actually that OP is from my feedback post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17172337&postcount=234
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
I agree with you....

Ext4 support and conversion out of the box.... :)

A stable gmail... with an option for new and old market... I personally find the older market much faster on edge and 3g... new market is all icons and flash...

An option for default two launcher or something like that...

Plus Google maps... and stable alarm clock....

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Alarm clock is stable - check my post about the same http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17180430&postcount=265

Gmail and Gmaps are must

So is EXT4 by default

But i differ on ANdroid Market - i like the features of the new one :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
It seems troublesome to convert to ext4. steps are:

1. look for cwm which supports ext4 and flash to phone

2. download ext4-format.zip

3. use cwm to format phone using ext4-format.zip.

4. then gitaxian can recognise the ext4 file format.

did i miss anything?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
1) Right now all custom kernels for I9003 support EXT4 - i.e. CWM and CF root already EXT4 compliant

2) The kernel Namaless has used in Gitaxian is CF Root - which as said in point 1 supports EXT4 by default

What you need to do is

Step 1 - Copy ext4-format.zip to external sd card

Step 2 - Boot in recovery mode

Step 3 - Take a nandroid backup

Step 4 - Run the ext4-format.zip file (do NOT reboot your mobile before step 5)

Step 5 - Restore nandroid backup

Step 1 to 5 takes 10 minutes maximum - if you know what you are doing

Easier option ofcourse is if the ROM is by default in EXT4 format :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Is there a way or command to check if the rom is on ext4 already? Something that we can type on the emulator?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] biloulou007:
But, where can I find this file ? Thank's :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] heavyarms:
just type mount in emulator and it will show you ext4 if you cant see ext4 then its not formatted yet :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
If you have installed adb on your comp - follow the below mentioned steps

Step 1 - Open the command prompt

Step 2 - Type "adb shell"

you should get a new prompt "#"

Step 3 - type "mount"

If you find something like "type ext4" somewhere in between - your are on ext4, if everything is "type rfs" - you are NOT on ext4 - simple :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] heavyarms:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
RFS and EXT4 are file system - Froyo or Gingerbread - Does not matter - same file will work for both :)

However same is not true for the kernel - kernel is very specific (XXKPE will be different from XXKPH)

What is adfree and for what is used?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9003 usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, i'm back with more details:

fruit ninja and angry birds are in tip-top shape; fruit ninja would lag at times if you gave it a hard enough time, now it lagged once in all the time i played it. angry birds has been acting funny ever since xxkpe (and all through xxkph), freezing my phone after a short time of playing - the recent update fixed this, but then it worked slower than before (it worked, at least). on gitaxian, it plays just like i remember it playing on froyo :)

4 hours ago, my battery was at 98% with wifi, gps, sound and auto-rotate on. when it was 80% or so, i turned wifi off (i was in a mall - didn't need wifi). 2 hours later, the battery was at 78%. i thought killing the battery on stock xxkph was hard and now it's even HARDER

since i missed my swype so much, i decided to do a little experiment; i grabbed the swype, gmail and maps (yeah, i just realized that was missing too) apks from the system.rfs of xxkph and tried installing them as regular apps. maps worked that way (i knew it would), gmail kept force closing and while the swype keyboard would appear, it wouldn't type anything. so i decided to use root explorer to put the swype and gmail apks into /system/app and boom! just as i finished, gmail synced with my inbox and told me i had message (nice entrance :cool:) and swype works fine too. [found out that i could've downloaded gmail from the android market -_-. ah well, the one i installed was outdated anyway. gonna download the latest one from the market]

NOW i have no problems with this rom. awesome stuff, nama. but lets not do this again, ok? please? :o

and because i love everyone here at xda, i'll save you the trouble of having to do this yourself and attach the apks i used right here on this post. remember, just mount /system/app as read/write and paste these into that folder (you only really need to this with swype. you can install maps as normal and get gmail from the market. this is actually 2.3.4, which is outdated by one version)

maps: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Maps.apk?w=2756610c&dl=1

gmail: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Gmail.apk?w=c889712b&dl=1

Does anyone have some problems for text selection? Here I find it is hard to select and copy. Maybe there is a bug in the theme.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
@all we need to install ext4.zip..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
I guess you are on older version - all the bugs you are reporting have been taken care of in Gitaxian 1.3.0

You can flash Gitaxian 1.3.0 over XXKPH also (but preferred in flashing over 1.3.0)

Ext4 conversion script - convert some particular folders in EXT4 - rest will still be RFS. So don't worry - you are on EXT4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Now that you are working on custom installer - look at my feedback post and include few things as optional -

1) Latest gmail

2) Latest gmaps

3) go launcher

4) Latest swype

5) Latest android market

6) Shootme (screenshot grabber)

7)Sgs II camera.apk (this has more options while taking pictures)

And definitely EXT4 by default

No issues with text selection for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
How do you know it is 1.2 or latest 1.3? Can't tell from phone info.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kk1965:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
I follow the step and did a backup from CWM.

After running ext4-format, I cannot restore the file.

It says error mounting /system!

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount/cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I tried to mount system but it says error mounting /system!

ext4-format has wiped out the partition of my backup?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
1) Did you reboot/restart your phone after step 4 ?

2) CWM takes the nandroid backup and stores it on the external SD card (EXT4 script does not format external sd card) - so dont worry - worst case scenario - data is safe and can be restored anytime you want

3) You will need to reflash the firmware, and restore the CWM backup from ext sd card
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] heavyarms:
ok, downloading the 1.3.0, will give you feedback later, going to work now :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] donytsang:
Nama Thanks for your new version of Rom

I am your loyal user and I currently upgrade from your first release to this version.

But I found one issue, when install back TW4 and applied all tweaks.

It randomly reboots even when I scabbing pages in the apps menu.

Did you rom already did those tweaks already so when I turn on them it has some kind of conflicts?

Thank you~
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

1. Yes, I reboot.

2. I switch sdcard and external sdcard. Does it matter?

3. Yeah. that's the only way to save the soft brick.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Do not reboot after step 4. Thats the problem right there.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
1) I wrote clearly - DO NOT reboot after running the script ! ;) Its okay - sometimes we want to learn the hard way :D

2) Switching the sd card and external card should not matter - its to make the Operating system believe what is what - at kernel level - CWM/nandroid backup will still be made on external SD card only (Can someone with more knowledge about this help ? )

3) Just flash the ROM again - and this time just run the script (As you already have the nandroid backup) - and then restore nandroid backup immediately BEFORE rebooting :)

All the best
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
1) You can try some other installer - if the problem still remains - then maybe you did not flash properly. If the problem goes away - then we need to figure out why your TW launcher is not working properly ( FYI - i am using Go Launcher - its works like a charm)

2) CWM Tweaks are not applied by default - you have to apply it yourself and then reboot the phone for them to work
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
OK. I did not reboot after running ext4-format. But the backup cannot be found no matter what i try in CWM. So soft brick status.

the only way to proceed is to reboot and reflash. Anyway, it is working now. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Okay - maybe its because you swapped the sd card and external sd card- and the backup was made on the sd card and not external sd card

The solution is - after your first flash - first convert into EXT4 and then swap the sd cards - should work
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
Yeah. working now. thank you so much.

Now found idea.. mmm 2 ideas XD

1) Use config.ini and put this in external_sd and run in terminal "supernamainstaller" and install... XD

or

2) Not use config.ini and run in terminal "****inglauncherinstall" for install another launcher?

here's a second Feedback after more testing:

using 1.3 since yesterday morning and everything works great. Battery life is very good with data connection always up (way more than a day of use).

-Wifi and gps work perfect

-camera works fine

-the more i see the theme the more i love it

-needed to push gmail to system apps to make it work, simply installed from market gmaps (i suggest to keep it in ROM most of users need them)

-did not tweak anything about graphics performance

-converted to ext4 (i suggest to make it default :D )

-pushed new market to system apps as also social hub and im (do not push email.apk from sgsII it FC)

-installed Vlingo, now from market (it's the free version of the branded voicecommand of sgsII) and works great

-installed flash player (i suggest keeping it by default) but sometime when i browse (with firefox and even maxthon) it is not recognized and browsers warn that a plugin is needed

Got 2261 on quadrant

that's all, i really love this ROM and appreciate Namaless work. GJ!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Namaless:

i agree that the older market is "faster" under 3g but the new one also works, just a lil slower :) so i understend your reasons in keepeng the older one.

The new market has also a timeout setting that often interrupts tasks while under slower mobile connections (really annoying)
