Good Evening!

Its night time here in my country and just a couple of hours back flashed the recent updated rom. First impression after 2 hours of used it seems the battery performance improved without sacrificing the speed. I don't really play games but just to test the ROM, installed and played fruit ninja. Used internet through wifi, made a couple of calls and watch a 50MB video. The battery just fall by 12%. Im going to used it a little bit more to further evaluate its performance.

I'm on semaphore kernel and convert the filesystem to ext4. No OC/UV, just enabled VM dirtyness, Kernel scheduler and deadline I/O scheduler.

oSerX, you are the man! Thanks for this ROM! If the ROM stands by my first impression a while back, this is for keep while waiting for some other enhancements.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Thanks legola ...

LE: REMOVED Multikernel Version because I have some strange errors. I'll test it a little bit more before re-uploading !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miguelm75:
forgot to say: thanks a lot for your ROM, dev :-) battery life is very good and with last SpeedMod kernel even better. battery indicator is very nice, although unique - any other dev is using it. strange...

thanks one more time :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
@miguelm75 - how does speedmode kernel feel against cfroot/semaphore ??? I did not test it ... I'll check it right now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
hi! i just flashed my fone and followed these steps:

http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/samsung-galaxy-s-updates/i9000xxjvt-android-2-3-5/

***ive been experiencing a lot of FC's and sudden reboot of my fone so an expert from sgs forum advised me to flashed it with jvt rom. it's my 2nd day now. yes there are improvements. but my fone still hangs. ive experienced it twice already since i upgraded last night. i saw this forum. is this the same as the one i attached above? or this is different? is this better? pls enlighten me. thanks****
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
cant wait to try your rom!!! will comments later~:cool:

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
@softpinkishlips - The kernel is different from stock and some fixes... Use Odin to flash JVT, then flash CFRoot Kernel as PDA, then ... see first post ! ++How to Install++
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
im done with that. im on xxjvt rom and rooted it as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
then download CF-Root or Semaphore based version of this ROM - you'll find download links in the first post ... then it's easy :), copy downloaded version to sdcard and using CWM app you cand flash this rom ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
ill use odit and pit for this too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
you use Odin ONLY to flash stock JVT and after that open Odin again, select CF-root kernel in PDA field, no repartition, nothing else ... click start !!

after that copy downloaded rom version ( choose an wipe version ) to SD Card and you'll have in your apps an app called CWM ... using this app, Flash Update option you can upload this ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
do i need to back up again all my apps before flashing? what will happen to my fone after that? improvments? yes i saw the CWM on my fone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
you can back your apps in CWM - Wipe version will erase all your contacts, sms, apps ...

i think you will have smoother interface :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
i hope i wont experience FC's and freeze. ill give it a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
I can only hope so ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] softpinkishlips:
what will i us cfkernel? or sephamore?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
it's the same ... almost the same .. use the one you wish ... Semaphore has some more tweaks, but you don't have to worry about this ! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
oserx, could u pls tell me what's the "oSerX.SpeedUpdate.zip" for??

i gotta install it too?? thanks.

btw, when in stock JVT, i cant not flash CF-root..as it's 3E on my i9000, i hv to odin the Semaphore Kernel..before flashing your ROM.

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
oSerX.SpeedUpdate.zip is already included in this ROM ... It was a small update for about 53 downloaders yesterday... It was a small mistake in customboot.sh ... I'll delete it now :)

Flash semaphore or CF-Root whichever you want using Odin, then install downloaded rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
all clear!! thank u.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
I found this !!

" For this (fast dormacy) to work, both networks and smartphones have to implement the standardized version of the fast dormancy feature."

"If you have it enabled it will fall from H to 3G in 7 seconds when connection is idle, otherwise in 30 seconds. 7 seconds are to short it will lose time and battery renegotiating to H to often. Ex: when you read your rss feed it will renegtiate higher speed for every article you read, very annoying.

Belive me, you are better off by disabling it."

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miguelm75:
i'm not sure what you mean... ;-)

battery life - much, much better. speed - little worse, but barely noticeable. stability - hard to say, but didn't have SOD's or sth like that. overall score: better :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] albxx:
hi guys, for more battery life, should i install cf-root or semaphore rom? or is it better i flash speedmode kernel?

i don't care about quadrant, i care about battery....

thanks!

edit: will try speedmod and see...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
i am using semaphore, so far so good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wittanny:
Not sure if it is only me. I get a FC when trying to change Lock screen wallpaper. Anyone has the same problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thez3ro:
Is camera hack implemented?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] albxx:
i've taken a picture using power button... so i think it is hack implented... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
I have the same problem trying to change lockscreen wallpaper. i'm in the car now and for two days i'm away. i'll check this meanwhile...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
+1... no problem here. enjoy your break~LOL.

dude, i love your rom, really fast, stable & good battery life. thank you!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] styxx:
Wifi tethering does not work with the latest JVT version and semaphore kernel. When i try to turn it on it says error. Will flashing non-wipe with CFroot kernel solve this? Otherwise I'll have to swich rom again :( I don't think you can create a fix in a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fISKARgUBBEN:
Use some sort of root explorer and copy "enable_netfilter" in "res/scripts" to "system/etc/init.d" and give it "execute"-permissions.. Once you've done that you reboot and Voila! Your tethering should be working! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] styxx:
please provide the full command. I am no expert like you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
You may use Semaphore application (bundled with the kernel) and enable the netfilter option.

It will copy the script for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Stratosk is right... use his included semaphore app to enable netfilter.. i had a lot of questions about that issue, but after explanation the people were happy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fISKARgUBBEN:
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm the least expert in here ;)

Use a file manager with root permissions (I use ES File Explorer, Go to settings and tick "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System".)

Then you locate (from root) the "res/scripts" folder. In there you have a file named "enable_netfilter". Long-click and select copy.

Then you go back to root and locate the "system/etc/init.d" folder. Once in there you paste the "enable_netfilter" file. Once pasted you long-click and select "Properties"..

Where it says "Permissions" click "Change". Then make sure you tick all the execute boxes and then go for OK!

Once this is done all you need is a reboot and it should be good to go! :)

Haha, had no idea that was a feature..

So yeah, you can do that too then.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] styxx:
Thanks for this. Works. And thanks for all the others, you saved me from reflashing :) by the way also thanks for the rom creator, it works well, i'm satisfied. You just cut out way too many of the apps that I need and I always find myself in need of putting them back... today: sound recorder. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mneekhrey:
netfilter turns off internet

hi..seems like netfilter enabling turns off mobile data when used on the phone..weird

sorry if it is a noob question

cheers..great rom btw... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
Hi this 2 options means better 3d performance in games no?

video drivers from CM7 ( now I'm testing them )

some kernel tweaks ( it improves fps for some 3d ) **own mod**

thx

Respect!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
a better battery life with Speedmode kernel K16-3~
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jackmax32:
Will Darkcore kernel 4.1 JVT work on this rom??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
as far as I think, there is no problem using any kernel with this ROM ... you should have no problem at all. I did not try it ...

@burner07 - I'm testing this ... it's super ok in every 3d game I bought ... I saw improvements in Quadrant FPS from 28fps to 55-56FPS in hallway animation and from 28 to around 41-42 in DNA animation ... ( using semaphore/cf root - deadline and kernel tweaks enabled !!! )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
finaly a dev that says exactly what does his tweeks do! this problem kept me away from stock ginger to miui... 3d performance

tine`o tot asa, daca poti porta si tema de sgs2 esti tare!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Hi oserx,

What specific kernel tweaks was done? May I know?

Was it vm tweaks? Or CFS scheduler tweaks?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eiben_robert:
I see that in the latest version (23.10) the browser is full screen so the notification bar is not visible. Any way to come back to stock behaviour?

Thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
sorry I was a little bit out of this thread ... I was in another city for one night ... I have to take care of my biz ... anyway ...

@eiben_robert - tommorrow I'll check this issue

@burner07 - thanks man - ( nu cred ca este fenomenal de greu - daca nu plecam in weekend pe undeva - o sa ma ocup :D )

@pikachu - Look down this post to see my customboot.sh - I think it's self explanatory for you, as you already combine your script collection from different sources and some of your settings are quite the same with some small mod. For VM tweak I found a website regarding linux optimizations ( vm and kernel ).. Some I tried, some I modified a little bit ... I think these options can work different for different people, exactly like linux servers ... some you make for samba, some mysql, some apache or email ... I was lucky with this because I know how to master linux and I understand very well what's behind the "scene" ;)

Anyway, regarding all these mods - too many modifications can lead to unexpected results ..

All the best,

These settings work best with deadline, vm dirtyness ( some settings are changed by this script ) from CF and Semaphore. =

#! /system/bin/sh

sync

sleep 1

# vm setup

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes ]; then

echo "4096" > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio ]; then

echo "93" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio

fi

# I modified this against cf-root cfg

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio ]; then

echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio

fi

if [ -e /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure ]; then

echo "1" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

fi

# mi'a dat bine pe 3d -

busybox sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns="600000"

busybox sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns="3000000"

One more small item: the wifi notification remains now white even when connected.

Thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cordonblue:
Yes, same problem here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
changing wallpaper for the lock screen gives a FC - that is a fact !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
hmmmm， finally i know why u guys talking abt the fc for changing LS wallpaper!! its not support to change the LS wallpapet in this rom, so, dont try it in setting menu. and just forget it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cordonblue:
I think I've found my ROM. I test it for a week now and have no problems. Very fast and without FC up to change the lock screen. Thanks for that!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jackmax32:
This rom is stable n fast..Didn't encounter any fc till nw(5 days n running)..Lockscreen fc is not an issue coz i don't change it..Looks like it vl be with me for a long time..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cordonblue:
+1

I forgot: The battery life is also very good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] filchi756:
Yup! same here.Didn't encounter this Lockscreen FC yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
+2

an encouraging rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Thanks guys for your kind words :

I have to do the following,during the next hours :

switch to non-full screen browser - it's also very annoying for me too

check the lockscreen FC - I think it may be a problem of original Tornado Theme

i'll switch wifi connected from green to white/gray color

i'll upload an update for SMS/MMS (mms.apk) that supports BLN
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
30-oct-2011 - 11:02 GMT+2

stock browser used - no fullscreen ( status bar is now visible )

working BLN - download bln control from market to enable

no more updates will be done using ChainFire's Kernel because it does not support BLN
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ProgMaq:
oserx, very very thanks!!!

This is the best ROM, clean and fast! very fast!

Can I activate the auto-update of the Market? How?

A greeting from Spain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Please find attached in the 1st post - oSerX. MarketUpdater ... it should work :P

Thank you for your comments !

Gotta go now for about 1-2hour(s) ... See ya.

----------

LE: Some new tweaks in TEST VERSION
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geyes:
Greeting.. thanks for the ROm, been using for 1 week now, very stable. but I notice the norm known issue for GB is still there on the batery drain after fully charge. ie. when fully charge need to unplug the phone else the phone will be using the batery instead of the connected cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
please guys ... if you can check TEST version you find in first post **NEWS Section or 2 posts up ... I'm interested in battery life ...

Now i'm modifying a little bit more .. but until tommorrow I'll check the changes on my phone only ..

I have around 3050-3100 2nd run of Quadrant ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ProgMaq:
I have this version since 5 hours ago. Work fine.

The last night, with the version of day 23, the baterry drop from 100% to 97% in 6 hours.

This night I will test again ;)

Sorry my english, I don't use google translator.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legola:
Hi oSerX,

I've been away for couple of days and your 23 update has a good battery life. I've been using it for almost a week and never experience battery drain. Regular used with sms calls and short period of wifi internet gives me 3 days of battery (20-25% left). Never tried changing lockscreen wallpaper.

Downloading the 30th update and will try it maybe tomorrow. Report back after 2 to 3 days to evaluate battery life. Thanks also you include the bln hack in this update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ProgMaq:
I'm using TEST version.

Full charge 100%, WIFI off, GPS off, GSM only, screen OFF, 1500mhA.

When I remove the USB cable, the battery shows 98%.

4 hours and I have 98% too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TwistedG:
oSerX is there a way to change the lock screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ProgMaq:
Now 97%, 5 hours ;)

With other Bluetooth drivers, would it work the Wiimote control?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
@twistedg - which lockscreen do you want ? there is no option for this rom... i may try to include multiple lockscreens from other developers.

@progmaq - don't know about wii ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
same here for the 98% after installing. hope it can be the same when 4 hours gone as you. LOL.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adriankim1984:
:-)

i will try this ROM.. can i use Tornado Blue JVT Odexed Theme on this ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
I got a silly question...sorry. forget this one... LOL.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knesz:
I believe, on the first page there is link for cwm contact sync app, as op doesn't like his contact to be synced with gmail.

Btw, fantastic rom!

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
You can use without anyproblem ... By the Way ... this Rom uses modified theme from Tornado Blue Odexed. So first install it, and see ... it has Advanced Power menu, CRT off, transparent status bar ( only empty space ) ... I hope it is good for you...

@NickDunn - you can find cwm package for adding GoogleContactSync at the end of first post, as knesz already told you :)

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

I tested some more modifications on this ROM, it is faster, really faster in Quadrant - I reached maximum 3241points (2nd try) - no overclock, but, because there is a BIG BUT ... sometimes it feels like lagging - it moves so fast that it lags - if you can understand my meaning... all was done by modifying kernel parameters.

I have to try a wipe version of this modified rom to see if this is really good or not. I don't want to sacrifice user experience for a stupid Quadrant score.

I tried to use a modified version of screenscale_blabla ( one version is included in Thunderbolt ) and it really consumes more battery and really I think a perfect balanced ROM doesn't need to switch from "ondemand" to "conservator" governor, and current kernel version is mature enough to keep proper frequency for the CPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
.....my god. i lost myself!!!! :o

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grkmaster:
For some reason some of my pictures that are in the DCIM folder, are not showing up in the gallery but i can see them if i go to a file explorer.. any idea why that is happening
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adriankim1984:
thanks oserx. yes you are right. quadrant is stupid i dont even use it also. important is stability, smoothness, and battery life.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skodaslx:
Will you update your rom to semaphore 1.8.1? Or is it save to flash after your Rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
i am trying new semaphore kernel ... it seems that it moves smoother, but I am afraid to give you a review regarding battery life ... For me it's not very good, but I cannot tell you for sure because I did not charged my phone since yesterday and today only about 30minute of charge ...

You can easily flash new kernel, then run semaphore app, select ondemand/smartass governor, kernel tweaks, deadline io scheduler then reboot ... and voila :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
so you suggest the test version or the stable from 30-10-11?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
test version is very good so far .. it still has sempahore 1.8 ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
i will give it a try (i will flash semaphore 1.8.1) and i will report back;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] biggary:
Simply brilliant rom mate! keep up the good work!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] homerlovesbeer:
Yea and Talk which was a big one for me. And no Swype???

Otherwise I've been using for about 30 mins so far so I'll post feedback later.

Much better install without dramas unlike some other ROM's I've tried lately :(

Good work so far ;)

EDIT: To get such high Quadrant scores I assume you have coverted file system to ext4 because I can't get anywhere near that with rfs, only 1650 ish
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wittanny:
hi oSerX,

Any big difference in battery performance between JVT and JVQ modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] filchi756:
Thanks again oSerx on this Rom,so far so good.By the way I install this 14 toggle " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323975 " with your ROM so far no problem yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mdv53:
That would be great
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NickDunn:
14 toggle rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you dude!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grkmaster:
Test rom is running very smooth(havent noticed any lag either) Running it on a ATT Captivate(897model) with Talon test(with 1200 oc module) and button layout fixed. I got 3400 in quadrant if it really matters lol...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
ok finally i installed the rom on my phone and first thing i need to say is 3D PERFORMANCE IS GGGG CONSTANT 50 56 FPS IN TUNNEL lvl :)

but i don`t like tw animations they are laggy and can you remove miui music player and i don`t know what apps did you removed anyway its very nice hope speed is stable for a long time

and can you include thunderbolt tweeks?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
@burner07 - it's very strange that TW is lagging for you .. I'll try to disable concentration effect when app drawer is open and make a test. I appreciate pikachu's work, but in my opinion not all his work is really needed - in my customboot.sh, some settings are a little bit different than his and I didn't test very well new version, but battery life was a little bit disappointing for me ...

i also tried some settings which really speeds up the rom in QUADRANT and also in other applications, I have them in my phone now for 2-3 days, but i'm not 100% satisfied with this ...

I prefer better experience with every day use, than to have biggest quadrant score or top score in other benchmark app. You should be happy with overall good performance and balanced battery life... ;)

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

LE: I tested for the first time now Semaphore 1.8.0 with 1.3ghz overclock 3728points, 2nd run of QUADRANT - I think animations are limited to around 56fps - it cannot display more ( rarely it show 57fps for short time ). Do you guys know of such limitations ? ( now latest test 3896points - it's really amazing - I have never looked for extreme performance in my rom, 95% of performance goes to stratosk for his kernel - the rest are modified kernel options and touchwiz tweaks ..

LE: Guys, those of you who tested semaphore 1.8.1 ... how does it feel for you ?? Quadrant score is just a little bit lower, but seems smooooother :) Cannot tell yet about battery life :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Did you enable smartassv2 and/or SIO?

Because without these enabled battery life and smoothness should be identical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
I cannot tell anything about battery life, because I was all day on the run since 2 days and never fully charged my phone - smartass is really great. I really don't have time for tests these days due to heavy work and intensive use of phone for calls and emails...

I can tell you that yesterday I had strange behavior on my phone with this new version of your kernel and for the first time I had to reboot phone to make it work again... It was strange for me ... really !! The phone was acting strange :(
