Thanks for that, i'm using JVR and pleased with it. Does JVR from SamFirmware have the bootloaders included?

Sent using geek power
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssdd48:
Yes it does include GB bootloaders. Running it now with Semaphore JVS 1.7.0 and just going to try the Semaphore JVS 1.7.0bm version :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I'm curious about auto brightness in JVS, if it's still slow with brightness update or not. And if the values are changed, because 5 different values are useless anyway. It should be like

0-1000lux = min brightness

1000-5000lux= medium

5000-15000 = maximum brightness

Because as soon as you're out of a building, only useful brightness is on max. Hell, even 2 settings would be better, max and min brightness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i think its the same as it was so -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15591210&postcount=571

but as i am begining deodexing/moding/looking into files am not 100% sure

also keep in mind that above 'spotings' are made with 'crt screen off animation' enabled that seems to mess thing abit regarding

will check that later

[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoon:
So can anyone sum up the thread.. Whats the verdict on JVS? is it an improvement over the other 2.3.4 firmwares?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Interesting. Can those values be modified on odexed stock, or only on deodexed one?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
on both Oo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
mmmhhh i think theyve changed something (but can not remember how it was on 2.3.4 exact)

but now there is no light sensor spam every X seconds reporting like 5 luxes - 5 luxes - 5 luxes - ...

for now i see it only reports when the light value changes (and it still seems to need 4 seconds + 2 to change)

you can check this by looking at your logcat and pointing some bright light to sensor and when you see repor like

move the lamp out of sensor and it will pop up with

with no light intensity change you will see no reports poping up every X seconds what was the case if i recal goof on 2.3.4 ...

--------------------

the 2 second delay i mentioned

and the 4 seconds you can check by yourself by moving the lamp on sensor and from as said eariler ;)

ok back to moding :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Sounds good :] Almost makes me want to flash the stock ROM back, this was one of the worst quirks for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
the spam at log? :)

its probably not putting info on light change to log but must be working anyways :)

irrelevant anyways ;]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Nah, the light values, didn't know that it's possible to change them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you can also change the 2 seconds to 1 or 3 for example but why

same with those valuse - they are good as they are
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Any improvement on the gps? Mine's totally useless, but I think it wasn't all that bad when I bought my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
nay, none ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I'd change the 10000 lux setting to 255 also, 177 is useless outside. ;] For instance, if I put the phone into the phone holder on the car dashboard, the sunlight doesn't exactly shine on the display - but visibility is crap, since the brightness ain't on max. Same thing if you take out the phone on the sun, then use the hand to block the screen - the brightness will fall to 10000 lux value, but you won't see ****. Pretty useless auto brightness if you ask me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ive read somewhere that best for power usage is to keep screen at one brighteness (a bit less then 50%) ofc aautobrighteness off and that other option also unticked.

so i use only on brighteness - a bit less then 50% ;]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ingineru:
There has been an interesting talk here around kernels..i pretty much prefer the stock kernel because it seems it gives the best battery life..BUT, since i discovered how BIG difference makes a kernel that has sharpness fix and color fix i can not live without those two features.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] christian5916:
Ok flame me if I'm wrong here, there's no video on talk app, no new apps, no new features, nothing special about it, so I have to flash somas mods, TW4.5, hacked browser for user agent and gingerbread 2.3.3 phone fix for no fc with bt????? And if go to the benchmark test JSD 2.2.1 does 1400 to 1700 stok no custom kernels no nothing :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
hahah BSOD is here :)

funny thing that it happened right after i pushed moded android.policy.odex and framework.odex - makes you think that basksmali/smali tool still aint perfect ;]

BUT i think i remember someone saying he had bsod also on stock - curious if it was deodexed (posted somewhere in this thread) or pure stock leak version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] allotrios:
did you try this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043034
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I get about the same battery life on a decent modded kernel as with stock. In my first full charge run with JVS and semaphore 1.7.0 I'm sitting at 37% after almost 15 hours unplugged, 2.5 hours of screen time and a just under 1 hour music time.

Pretty decent and actually slightly better than the 20%*(screen hours) + 5%*(music hours) + 1%*(idle hours), which gives 70% usage for my current scenario, that I've grown to expect from custom 2.2.1 and stock 2.3.3 roms.

My must-have features are voodoo sound and BLN, I really missed them. I'm looking at the voodoo colour now it looks pretty good too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nash123:
I like this new version. Very smooth and stable.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
Agreed, the question is, is it worth the hassle of flashing jvs and why?

Sent using geek power
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dani_z:
This is not good...I will stay with JVR :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] diamond69:
My 2 cents about jvs:

I flashed it strait after release and deodexed+rooted+added aosp lockscreen to it. (I had to mod framework.jar ofcourse, otherwise the browser laggs)

- Fast and responsive rom, good wifi and call reception!

- Gps quite okay, but the new nexus s files + jvr-rom were better for me.

- battery-loaded -> draining-bug is present

- phone.apk crash not yet reproduced (but i didnt try headset yet)

After 24hours i went back to jvr because things like "flip2mute", batterymod, "scrollable 7 toggle statusbar" and "browser with user agent" have to be build from scratch, but no time :(

(Modded) apks < 2.3.5. didnt work for me (except clockpackage.apk and another one i dont remember right now)

So when you ask me what rom to choose:

-if your current jvr rom is good and you are satisfied with its features and mods, KEEP IT! (But you might change modem to jvs)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] badmania98:
This is real? If yes welcome to the past.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
I'm waiting for $omator to write his usual review on jvs. Gogo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
;]]] i did already
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
Well we now no its real but what has it fixed

JVQ,JVR had the same bugs on and so has this

The Phone FC seems to be the main Bug i no there working on a fix, as this was one of there bugs they had to sort out.

Like every update there is always a massive rush to get this on

But as allot was already done on 2.3.4 is there any need

2.3.5 has been done for a reason But what ??? and why ??

as this is a XXJVS then it is for the UK/Europe but to do what !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I bet that there will be another 2.3.5 till the end of the month. This looks more like a beta 2.3.5.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wcg707:
Looks like i'm going to stick to jvs stock your awhile cause after months of fishing this and that including cm, all the modded rom have the same bugs and plenty of basic stuff like wifi, bt, phone fc on me.

at least with stock all are functional and lagfix is no longer an issue ever since gb came out. Bloatware from samsung is still irritating but something that I can live with.

So far no fc for me yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onetik:
Does it have the Phone FC bug (in speaker mode)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yup phonce fc bug is present (as mentioned in first post)

one thing soembody reported already is ability to set for how long bt will be visible (i guess there were no such option in 2.3.4)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onetik:
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't fix this crucial and annoying bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
xda member fixed it with few lines of phone sgs2 code - so they will do soon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
Only a couple differences I've noticed after using this build for about 24 hours now:

1. There is no Video Call ringtone setup in the options, only phone ringtone and notification sound.

2. The browser issue where scrolling would show the checkerboard pattern in the background seems to be much better, that checkerboard pattern shows up less frequently.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i might be wrong but i do not recall "Video Call ringtone setup in the options" earlier

the checkboard pattern means that www is not loaded in 100%. when it is there will be no checkboard
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zamcum:
wrong post
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
Your right on stock JVQ No video call settings i have never seen one :rolleyes:

i agree this does look like a beta Test and if it is its Failed !!!!!!

Send it back and try again !!!!!

Strange how XDA can fix a phone Bug but Samsung seem to drag there feet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 5nakedoc:
Much improved for me. The bug where my contacts and texts would simply close when opening has gone. (The one which a certain troll blamed a poor flash even though it was flashed with two different sources of firmware and had a phone reset before hand) So I am pleased with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
what does that mean
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
I think, that means, that you try to open "Contacts", it immediately closes itself. I had this once. Also, sometimes it happened, that when trying a different tab in "Phone" (e.g. from Protocoll to Favorites), Phone immediately closes. All on JVR.

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
bad flash / crappy mem scripts =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
So-called optimizations ;) which I am using as well :D with semaphore kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stratosk:
Only different LMK settings are used in semaphore (thanks to chainfire) but you can disable from his application (tweaks: ram min free)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carmatic:
WOW!! how did i not come across this before? pressing the top end of the gps antenna is almost like an 'on' switch for the gps!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
Flashed it yesterday with the root kernel i've mentioned. Runs good so far - maybe a bit "smoother" than the previous 2 versions. Phone FC bug seems to be fixed. I could easily reproduce this in JVQ and JVR but i did not get to happen it again with JVS. Layar is not preinstalled anymore, but i don't really miss it. Needed to use USB teathering during visiting a customer today and it did not break, but i still can not confirm it's fixed. Need more testing this. GPS is still as good as it was with JVR. Battery life... OMG, need to wait one or two weeks to write about that but the diagram looks similar like it did in JVR version so far. Internet browser still does not close when you leave it, you'll need to kill it with the onboard task manager.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I had this on JVS with Semaphore. Wiping data of Phone app in Titanium Backup cleared it right up. It might work on Contacts as well if that is having similar problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
- every firmware freshly flashed is smoother then 'used' one

- phone fc is present

- usb thethering was broken on custom kernels i think

- not closing browser is a feature, still when you will run out of mem system will close it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n99flake:
Why is that a feature?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Maybe you are referring to lack of netfilter on Semaphore by default?

I have enabled netfilter on mine and just tested USB tether it works fine.

What is the trigger for phone FC? I fixed my phone closing (not FC just closing) by wiping its data. I recall something about headset/bluetooth? If the trigger is bluetooth I can't test that as I don't have one.

Well people who obsess over free RAM like you and I aren't really doing the system any favours by killing all the tasks that we can.

As I understand it if you use the app again before you need the memory, you waste battery life loading it from the SD card again. It's more efficient to just keep things around and only kill them when you need the memory. When you go to the program monitor and clear memory and it kills a bunch of apps that you didn't even see running, the phone was attempting to save those in case you used them again but you're thwarting it lol. I do it too. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n99flake:
So we're our own worst enemies....

shucks :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Yep.

Many threads are about explaining that exact thing. Android sorts and kills as it sees fit. No need for task killers.

Once I just kept opening apps and tapping home to not close any. Browser was first. After opening all 5 pages of apps I opened browser again and it did so and with no hangups. Not bad memory management.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ohmygod1986:
If there was a method to use part of sd card as ram :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
For sure. Would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] qtekker:
If the memory is needed and Android kills the browser, then the next time you start the browser Android will reload the last page. That's not always what you want. Mostly I want to start with my homepage. Best is to build in an exit in the menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] santinel:
Can the Phone FC problem be resolve like on the 2.3.4 by replaicing the phone.apk with phone.apk from 2.3.3 ???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danycxxx:
Regarding wifi problem

I have a TP-Link wireless router and after I flashed JVS the wifi connection kept dropping after ~ 1 min.

Resolution: I removed the Address Reservation entry on my router for my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rhatt:
Same thing here: After upgrading to JVS, I got disconnects from WiFi every minute. Solution for me, too: delete the dhcp reservation for my Galaxy S on router. Type of Router: D-Link 615, WiFi Settings: Mixed Mode 802.11n,g,b , WPA/WPA2 automatic detection, TKIP, 3600s renewal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dzirt012:
Hello everybody, how about phone fix jvs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
If it would be there, yes! You'll need to delete "DialerTabActivity.odex" and "Phone.odex" and replace "Phone.apk" + "DialerTabActivity.apk" with the ones from a deodexed 2.3.3

But i can not get the FC to happen anymore. With JVQ + JVR i could reproduce it 100%, with JVS not!

Wifi does not disconnect for me, but i'll never use the "mixed" (or "protected") mode b+"something" on my router, cause this may cause problems. If you don't have old devices that still need "b" mode, switch to n+g only! Some routers have automatic detection, if an old "b" device is present, some not.

Noticed differences from JVR

Guys,

I have flashed JVS to my phone (from JVR) yesterday during the day and the differences I noticed so far:

-Daily-briefing is present (I did not have it in JVR stock)

-Browser is way smoother and faster

-Browsing through the phone is noticeably faster (freshly flashed?)

-Layout/look of keyboard is different, much slimmer

-Swipe seems to have been improved (less errors as compared to JVR, and no I have not improved my swipe skills since yesterday)

-Several swipe languages available from a single touch "switch button" in the keyboard (sorry, I never noticed that in JVR, but could be there...)

-Battery somehow seems to be consumed a little faster than when I had JVR (normal usage as with JVR)

-Start-up & media scan is WAY faster than with JVR (I have exactly same applications as I had with JVR)

-WIFI worked flawlessly for me (did the cache formating etc via recovery mode)

-no phone fc so far

-no layar application (as already noticed here)

-phone signal is definitely improved, I almost never got a full bar signal with JVR, but with JVS its all the time full (I really like this since several times people complained I had my phone off, while it was not...)

-email application is definitely way faster than in JVR

-IDLE Ram consumption seems to be less with JVS (I used to have around 270mb, and now it remains on 225mb on idle with same amount of applications as in JVR) -> naturally this varies a lot, so do not take this last one for granted

I hope this helps, since there has been so many questions regarding noticed differences. I will add more items here as soon as they come by.

Thanks for the leak and good work for the members in sharing so constructive feedback and information to a rookie like me!

Laters!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] malcho:
My impressions about JVs

48 hours using stock JVS with semaphore 1.7.0 bm.

Same setup on the phone as it is on JVR.

Generaly this rom using more ram.I'm using options in tweak manager ramminfree.I had more free ram on JVR.

Nemus launcher working better on JVS.No lags.

Wifi works ok.

Autobrightness working better much more responsive and quicker adjustement.

GPS same.

Overall not much quicker.On first install even slower that JVR but butt after a while it's ok.

Test for few more days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
These files are neither for JVR, nor JVQ. They are from and for a 2.3.3 version and "incidentally" still work with JVR and JVQ. I suggest to use the deodexed files from the latest and "official" 2.3.3 version JVO, not the ones you find in the Thread with the patch for the phone FC.

You'll find the deodexed 2.3.3 JVO in one of Ramad's threads.

But as long as i still don't get the phone FC, i'll see no need to patch anything.

What happens if you use these old files ("the patch"): Do you still get a FC after a bluetooth call where the screen on your phone is off and the other party ends the call or does your phone shows looping crashes of applications while it's idle?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] raosid:
finally the latest version available. will keep it for reserve
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wurstel:
for me battery on jvr was draining battery when the screen was on noticeable faster than on jvq (thats why im back on darky 10.2). i know this could be due to leftover files or the wrong kernel, but i formatted everything (including internal sd card) before flashing jvr, but still poor battery life. hows it on jvs, is it possiblx to tell already since the firmware is a few days old?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dfolt:

Anyone try this new firmware on an i9000M (Canadian Version) on the Bell Network?

Now that we've had a couple of days, wondering if you've experienced any problems with it? Further, does the speech to text button on swype work?

Just looking for any problems/issues/market issues/force closes you may have experienced thus far seeing that this rom is not specifically for Canada.

Also, when you installed, did you use JVS(PDA) and KG3(Modem) KG3(CSC)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgsshedden:
running the JVS version of Tornado kernel and Tornado Rom, with KG3 modem and CSC. No problems with market, phone initially can have FC issues with bluetooth and/or regular use but Brotuck quickly uploaded a phone.apk fix, similar problems existed with one of the earlier GB firmwares. Seems the kernel has elements of 2.3.3 in it more than JVR, certainly anything set up for a JVR kernel has the potential for issues with the JVS one.

Don't use the speech to text option, so can't comment but haven't seen any reported issues. Swype is working in just text form.

No problems on Bell or with the KG3 modem and CSC, so its just down to whether or not you want to jump into JVS now or stick with JVR until the minor teething issues get sorted (as they always are).

Q score on JVS using Tornado kernel @1440 and ext2 with the Tornado JVS rom is 4148.

Too early to say if battery is any different from JVR. GPS seems fine and quicker to get fix and running (but that is often phone dependent rather than firmware IMO).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I'm also using JVS with KG3 modem and CSC.

I installed the modem with Odin and the CSC by putting the BMC folder from KG3 into /system/csc and using a CSC selector app. (I did this because I'm not too sure what the CSC tar files contain. They contain some apps too I think while I just wanted the right CSC code and automatic settings).

I've been on semaphore 1.7.0 kernel and it is OK. No OC or lagfix just enjoying root, Voodoo sound and BLN.

One issue I had is that I had to clear Phone app data with Titanium Backup as it was closing randomly (not FC just closing). I also did something I've done on every GB ROM I've used and wiped Dalvik cache to get rid of Android OS drain. Other than that smooth sailing. Great battery life and smooth operation. GPS seems OK, quick lock but seems ~50m off, probably about as good as my hardware will do as lgsshedden suggests.
