Hey!

Firstly, XXKPE is a dev release (i.e. unstable). Install XXKPH and see if it works well for you. Read the installation instructions carefully as it involves installing XXKPE first, flashing it twice, and then XXKPH over that (again flashing twice).

I would recommend using CF-ROOT as an all in one solution for rooting, recovery and optimization.

Download an app from the market called "fasterfix". It requires root access and is free. It basically optimizes your ntp file. All you have to do is install it, open it, choose your region, press go, close it, and repeat once more to make sure. It did wonders for me!

As for google navigation, it is disabled for anyone outside the USA. So you must use something like brut.all's google navigation with world nav unlocked. If so, make sure it is up to date (current version 5.10.1).

Hope these suggestions work for you too!

Cheers!

Jeff,

please post on the Q&A section (to follow the forum rules ;)).

My phone is on KHP build and GPS fix takes about 10-20 secs.

It might be wise to upgrade your ROM version.

Good luck.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with Revolver Parts 3.0.3 and Revolver 3.6 on their Transformer. I can see some menu items w/o fatal error - specifically: OTA Updates, Info, Statusbar, and System. Selecting Mods, Kernels, Themes, and other ends with a force close and "Fatal Error" message.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling of parts - no affect.

Logcat isn't exactly helpful either.

Any ideas?

Actually, I'm answering my own question:

From the developer. It looks like a user is pirating his app/rom, and doing a DoS attack on his server.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
With the 7.1 release the other day and all the newly supported devices, I kinda felt like the GS4G was the red headed step-child.

I brainstormed... what is the best way to get CM7+ on our device?

Best result I could come up with was to ask the guys who helped get it on the OG Vibrant.

Their response was abbreviated. (A) do it myself (not possible) or (B) get them a device.

Well, I guess that leaves trying to figure out how to get a device into the hands of an official CM team developer

OR

Coming up with a better idea.

I am soliciting advice/feedback for either of these two options.

EDIT:

Just realized my thread title is pretty misleading... but if it helps get views, sorry. It was not intentional, promise

EDIT 2:

I should also point out that I have been sending tweets to Samsung / and their support, for kernel source.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mzangui:
so they don't need the samsung to release the official GB for our device? cuz the source code for GB kernel will be available after that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
we need the gb kernel source... mabe cough samsung cough leak us some kernel source instead of updateing the rom every 2 days :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Whitehawkx:
I don't think we need kernel source at all. CM and Miui are both on the Vibrant and it doesn't have any GB source because, well, there is no GB for the Vibrant.

The SGS4G and Vibrant are so similar I think a CM dev could get this working NP with the help of a couple users. But hey, what do I know?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
We always say this. Can't smmy be nice enough to leak us some source?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
Also the vibrant section got more kernel developers than us. We only got one atm :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
lol just was trying to get some kernel source :P it can be done with the stock kernel just going to have to do alot of fenessing of the rom ;P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
it'll be different that the vibrant CM kernel. This is due to the source being COMPLETELY different. I've diff'd the sources, and nothing matches up.

The vibrant is using a modified I9K GB source. That is what is making it work.

As far as using the stock kernel, sure, we can do that, but it would have to be modified for every update, and nightlies... yeah, you can forget about that. RFS/EXT4 wont be added as an official CM build due to it will break the i9k/cap/fascinate/vib builds.

Once I get a new 4G, I'll continue working on the kernel/build.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
let me know if u get one or not if u are cough in my area again cough il just have u pick it up :P snece they were kind enough to get enough money to have me buy one :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Krylon, have you looked at the galaxy s 2 kernel source for comparisons?

It may have similarities.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you mean besides the sgs2 uses quallcoms snapdragon processer

sgs4g uses hummingbird

Fail to Samsung. Dumped their own processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
CM7 would be awesome for the SGS4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
It was Tmobile's decision. The Exynos processor didn't support Tmobiles 42mb HSPA+ network, I think the Exynos maxed out at 21. So that's why tmobile opted for the Snapdragon as it supported the 42mb HSPA+.

I would love cm7 on my phone. Let's start a phone fund for krylon and/or the cm guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
But what's the point of it being able to support that speed when the network doesn't even get close to that fast? And do we really need speeds that high especially with the data cap? My phone averages 10 down and 5 up, which is MUCH more than what I need.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
a major percentage of overall data use on smartphones involve streaming media.. and that number has skyrocketed over the past few years.. yes browsing xda and the web is fast on the gsg4g, but you really see the differences when downloading large files and streaming

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Wait if the vibrant doesnt even.have gingerbread... How did they get the source kernel? And why do we need it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
But 10mbps is already twice as fast as what I have at home and at home where I'm able to watch Netflix on my ps3 in HD with like minimal loading time and I can video chat with like no lag or anything. Maybe the speed would help on downloading files but with that data cap, especially with it lowered to 2gb on newer customers, I wouldbt be downloading much on 4g. And like I said, their network doesn't even get that fast so right now and maybe for a long time, this phone and the galaxy s 2 will have similar download speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
The US SGS devices are using a modified I9K gingerbread kernel source for cm. We can't do this for the sgs4g because the source is totally different

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
I'm with Jonathan (whitehawkx). I've been scratching my head, granted i'm ignorant and krylon clarified it some... But a LOT of phones have cm7 without gingerbread, I'd say most.

For that reason, I argue there has to be a way. I'm not smart enough, but i'm thinking there are enough smart people here that can.

Atinm is a genius. I wish he had a gs4g. If you've ever looked at his work, you'd agree.

Also, agree... Awesome seeing the people keeping this phone alive all in this thread!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I was working with atinm and codeworkx before my device died, so will work with them again once I get a new one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
I'm curious, and ignorant.. Dangerous combo, but I'd love to understand how the Galaxy S 4G and the vibrant have the exact same:

1GHz Hummingbird CPU with PowerVR SGX 540 graphics,

512MB RAM, etc...

don't take ignorance as being rude, trying to learn.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
^ yeah, leaks are great, but that has absolutely nothing to do with CyanogenMod and MIUI.

Lets keep this focused... my intent here was to brainstorm ideas with you guys. How do you feel we can increase the chances of getting CM7 on our phones?

I have been contacting samsung in hopes they will send a device to atinm or codeworkx.. I believe those two are our best shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Without source to the kernel which has been stated not likley to happen

Sence there not going to break 3 to for other builds to add rfs ext 4 support no way to add mtd to the stock kernel no way to use another phones kernel to many diffrences a proper port is out atm we could mod it to some degree of funcatility on the stock kernel but that means all nightlies would have to be ported to the build n as krylon stated no one wants to do that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
as far as i would like to see cm7 on our phones lets focus on miui .. raver is close to it ...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Its still not a true asop port n none of the updates will work without porting those
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
it worked great ...only drawn was rings,,,and u said u done it ... otherwise no bus i seen (the way i was using it)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Other phones have cm without source. Unless someone can explain why h kernel source is needed (won't get it), let's focus on the real issue.

^ that's not a real miui build. Trust me, you need/want cm7 so whitehaekx & raver can make a proper miui build.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
My moto defy can even run CM. With no kernel source, a locked bootloader and all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dynamicj:
Ya I second that you do not need the source just read up on the viewsonic gtab it runs cm7 without gingerbread ever being released or leaks for that matter... It can be done. Sheesh they even ported honeycomb to the froyo only tablet.

Sent from my Icrap killer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
LOOK,if you had a motoblur, aosp, sense, or lg whatever phone, it could be ported without source. Samsungs implemented touchwiz uses a completely different kernel format call zImage. All else use boot.img. A boot.img can be properly extracted without source and is also in AOSP format. zImage can't be fully extract to get the required data. The kernel source has this data. So when you complain about phones with AOSP kernels getting cm7 before samsung, think twice. The reason vibrant and other sourceless samsung froyo devices have a running gb cm7 is because their phones kernel is so damn similar to the original galaxy s gb source that not much data is required. This phone is different. So don't be surprised if the samsung hercules gets cm7 before we do. And of course the nexus prime will be the first with cm8.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

that is why the g1 can run cm7 and maybe even a future cm8.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
also note the vibrant is using the i9k kernel something that couldnt been done on the sgs4g :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
you mean not based off of, but literally using the same kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
it's using the i9k kernel source. Same way myself, eugene373, morfic, ttabbal, and drhonk where able to build Froyo Kernels and GB Kernels without source on the vibrant. change a few bits of code in the source, and walla, booting kernel with all button mapping and mic jack working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
kernel source not kernel sorry lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
If I'm not mistaken, the epic 4g are running cm7 on highly modified froyo cm7 kernel. They don't have gb kernel source but they have froyo source.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
no, its a stock kernel they are running it on. stock as in RFS. but yeah...

yeah...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Okay I get it now... So if we magically got a kernel source from samsung... How would you fond out where it is?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
because we have the source we know where everything is :P we can build asop kernels off kernel source :P lamens terms
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
well, hopefully we'll have something here soon. gotta rebuild, but should have something good in the next week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
B, glad to hear you are getting another device and will be working on CM7.

I have again reached out to Samsung. I am hopeful that we can get a device into the hands of a recognized CM developer who will also be able to help.

I still struggle with why this task is so hard, though there has been some helpful posts here. Here is to hoping...

I'd encourage others to do what they can to get atinm or codeworkx a device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Well, unlike the other galaxy devices, the 4g changed the partition structure. there isn't a dbdata, nor a internal sd partition and the data partition changed from a mmcblk to a stl block.

I've talked with codeworkx and atinm about it, and the source would have to be merged into the hacksung source, and then heavily modified so that it wont break the source for the other devices.

I am however working with jit1337 and de3d from the Epic forums. They were able to port over CM using a modified stock kernel, which is what I will be doing on Friday night when I get back to work.

Once this is done, I can start making the necessary changes to make it a mtd build, which can then be added to CM. The Vibrant was the same way when CM 1st came out for it. (Remember the whole flash a ext4 kernel 1st, then all that other flashing through odin, then cwm), then the device can use the standard boot.img like all other devices that aren't Samsung/CMinized.

The biggest setback, was I was trying to do a straight mtd build, and it was failing at the updater.sh script. The kernel would boot if the device was already mtd, however, it was failing to do the initial conversion. (Tested the kernel on a Vibrant running MIUI)

With the info that jit and de3d gave me, I should be able to have CM running pretty quick now.

And I'll be the 1st to admit, this is a whole new world for me, I'm used to doing manufactured roms. Doing a complete custom build with kernel is pretty challenging, exp when you don't have a lot of help, and others don't really share their advice from other devices. But, with the guidance from the Epic guys, I should be able to do it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Locobato:
I was really shocked when I first rooted my phone and learned I could not get CM for my device. But I have to say with ROMs like Valhalla out there I don't see why I need CM anymore. I guess my question is what are we missing that everyone is hoping CM7 can provide?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
Once cm7 kernel is released the devolpment on the sgs4g will kick up into new generation. Ie more aosp roms, kernel and stable cm7 and miui build. Basically cm7 is the key into a room full of goodies :D

someone please enlighten me :o

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
But like what makes cm7, well cm7? All I see it as, is a rom that has a lot of themeing options. What makes cm7 soo good that everyone HAS to have it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Its also light weight and fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
Its not a most have rom. Poeple do like the rom because its really stable and brings more features to a phone others just want cm7 so they can't get others roms like miui, aosp or Sense ui. If we don't get cm7 in here, you guys will be stuck with touchwiz interface roms and probably end up gettiing bored from it and sell your phone. Other roms like miui, aosp and sense can use cm7 drivers and kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Think of it like this...

CM (AOSP) is the hot chick in a red dress that drives a sports car. Lean, clean and fast.

Touchwiz, Sense and what not are the chick that weighs 3 bills that you settle for... Sure... It looks good drunk bit its bloated slow and generally smells after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dynamicj:
^ pretty much sums it up.

Sent from my Icrap killer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
All the problems that have to be overcome to get a true AOSP build on a phone are just crazy. Times like these makes me wish Android was more like Windows, where 1 installation source could be used on any phone, and all you'd need is a set of proper drivers for the different hardware. Just go to Google, download the latest Android and install. The fact that a SGS4G has completely different partitions and file systems than the Vibrant make you wonder what the hell those particular Samsung developers were thinking at the time. They are almost literally the same exact phone save the modem. There was no reason for them to do that except to try something new.

I realize most phone manufacturers don't care about custom firmware and the people that use them, that their major concern is to cater to the 80% of their consumers who will buy the phone and do nothing but install apps. (80% is just a placeholder number I have no idea how many Android users mod their phone, I'm just going off an observation of how many of my friends with Androids don't even root.)

I know we could all avoid these issues by only buying Nexus phones, but for whatever reason we all decided to get a phone running Samsung's OS. I still don't know why I picked this phone over the Nexus S, I suppose I thought 4G meant the world haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
avril,

just to tack on to what you just mentioned. from what i can tell, a vast majority of people stop at buying phones with the best hardware. once they buy the phone, they keep it stock and bloated and think that it is the best. not many people look into modding their phone; mainly because they are simply unaware of the possibilities with android.

what sucks is that when i try to help my friends/coworkers get their phone to a "useable" state, and lets say they get an fc...they start hating on it. its a vicious cycle. im at the point where i just mod my own stuff and let everyone go on thinking their *htc hero* is the ****. i guess ignorance truly is bliss.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
thats why ill still keep this phone and enjoy it knowing this runs like a sg2 stock phone which most people keep it stock for some some reason..by quadrant its almost like im running a dual core with the tweaks etcc..satisfied me to know that,only my 2 cents on that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Locobato:
I guess I see the point of having access to the Kernel source allowing for newer better custom kernels. And I used CM like crazy on my G1 and MT3G. But as long as new roms and mods are being made like Valhalla and the transparent dialer the customization options available are enough to keep me happy with my phone for another year or two.

Read up on AOSP. That is your answer. No bloat. Just clean stock Google. (Mostly)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
But what I don't understand is if its completely stock and has zero bloat, why is it reported to have not as good battery life? I just got that from reading threads on the vibrant and i9000
