[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sys81:
Theres a new version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
it's just a small fix now ... i removed screenstate_scale ( which I argued with pikachu about it ) and for me it's really draining more battery ... whatever and removed zipalign which in my opinion is not needed !!! Switched back to Semaphore 1.8.0 because it seems much ... what I want !

Now I'm working to tweak auto brightness levels because somehow they are really strange for me !

LE: @sys81 - I also like odex, and it's o funny to deal with them :D... you make something here and something bad appears there :) :D

I don't know how much you guys like to have screen brightness in auto mode, so I'll make a setting for a little darker screen :)

LE2: I set up some values for 5lux, 1000lux, 5000lux values ( these is the highest lux value I got here now - it's really cloudy outside :( )... I think I have to go outside for bigger values, cannot get any bigger even at the window
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Can you guys tell me please which are values returned by light sensor ??

Until now I found 5, 1000, 5000lux ... there are not intermediate values I could find ! I'm doing this to try to save battery as much as I can by using lower screen brightness :)

if you have bright sun outside you can use andro sensors from market to read light values in different light conditions. and please publish them here .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
Hi Oserx ...

I tell you, that´s my problem is "solved" in some way :)

I´m runnning 30oct version now, and for me is a awesome ROM :), so thx for it

The Sygic problem is not a JVT problem. The real problem is that the registration of Sygic has been lost, and it keeps trying to connect with Sygic servers with no succes... so It keeps trying and trying :)

I hope they solve the problem soon ...

I´m also Downloading new teaser verison . I will Install and give you Feedback ...

BTW, THX again for such a good ROM and support
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Namiga, please if you can help me with light sensor values, because you, in Spain I think you have more sun than we have here, right now ... maybe you can please, publish some values here, above 5000 ... and please if you can use phone positions in the light it would be great.

Tease.NoWipe and Wipe version now includes updated auto-brightness values ( up to 5000lux ) ! Please test and tell me if it's ok under different light conditions !

NoWipe version had a issue - the addon.folder was not copied. Now it's solved !

Versions will be updated in about 10 minutes ! Please see first post for download details !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
I´m flashing nowipe version now :).

How can I tell you the values of autobrighjtness ...??

Now is a cloudy day in Madrid-Spain :)

EDITED: Teaser no wipe is working!!!! First impresion is that is even faster!!!

Oh, my god, I´m really enyoing this ROM!!!

THANKS AGAIN OSERX!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
from market you download andro-sensors and look for LIGHT .. there you'll have a value in lux ... I got, here only 5, 1000 and 5000value ... and I updated auto-brightness accordingly for my needs here ... Maybe at the window, you can get bigger value for this ... I don't know the next value for light sensor ...

I now updated wipe and no-wipe version, they are now uploaded to multiupload for 3-5 minutes. They both have new brightness values - they can be a little bit dark, but for battery life ... I think I'll make an cwm update with biggher values for brighter images !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
can i flash the teaser wipe from another rom or do i have to flash first the 30oct test ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
by using a powerful led light, i got values of 10000 and 15000 ... maybe this is maximum ... don't know ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
You can flash Wipe version over any Rom you like and then, to apply 14-toggle status bar please flash 14toggle-add.zip update from CWM ... it will work flawlessly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
what about the gtalk, maps latitude?any possibility for a flashable zip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
yes, I'll include all of them in addon.oSerX folder on sdcard, or put them in /data/app so they can be easily removed. Maybe I'll make an addon to complete addon.oSerX folder later this day ...

Now I want to finish autobrightness thing ... Please provide feedback about auto-brightness settings ... They are a little bit dark, to preserve battery power !

LE: Light Sensors values : 5,1000,5000,10000,15000 Cannot get any more values. Latest 2 I got using an high-power LED lamp... and I'm now sure what values to set for LCD brightness for them.

Initial values for lcd brightness were very strange set up by SAMSUNG. they had nothing to do with this values.

I think I'll increase a little bit LCD brightness from 5000 up, to provide good LCD brightness for higher values.

LE: lowest value set for 5lux ambient light condition gives best conditions in low-light when you want to read or browse. The eyes won't hurt ... just my opinion !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
now flashing teaser wipe:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
please, provide feedback about auto-brightness ... Thank you, :)

I think these values can be not very nice for people with protective foil on the screen ! I don't have :)

After we all decide about best brightness values, I'll make an addon for brighter screen ( this you can decide how much brightness is suitable for your eyes/ battery power saving )

Light values over 5001 lux are not optimized and can be very high ... Cannot test properly right now ! I'll change them, but based on ...

Salutare

The JVT roms are very fast and i would really like to stick with one. But every time one bug drove me away...first and foremost is

WI-FI: wi-fi doesn't seem to hold up the signal and disconnects very often, even if you're within 2 feet of the router. There is this solution with static IP, but that is solving the problem only when you are at home and defeats the purpose of mobility.

Bluetooth: connects with my headset and works perfectly first time. But if I disconnect, needs a restart to connect.

Market: several people had/have market issues.

Can't download apps due to market not recognizing the device and giving error such as "Your device is not compatible with ths app"

I would like feedback on theese maters, because i've flashed jvt roms several times and all of them had at least the wi-fi problem.

Does this rom have theese problems?

If not, congrats i'm a new user...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
hello

1. only one person complained about WiFi problem ... no other !

2. bluetooth - i don't know - I only tried to transfer pictures between devices. I use wired handsfree or built-in car phone

3. market - I have no problem, never heard of something like this, maybe you can try to change CSC, maybe your IMEI is no longer setup... Really never heard about this problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Some information about your misguided knowledge about screenstate_scaling:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7938151&postcount=32

The loop won't run, and it will sit there waiting until your screen turns on or off. Hence, the script itself is not battery draining. You can verify this on ADB by doing:

cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake

or

cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep

ADB will hang there (thus not consuming any battery).

Also zipalign can be left there. It's only ran once per boot and it runs fast if the APK is already zipaligned. The script is smart enough to determine if the APK is zipaligned or not. You can verify it by checking the script itself.

And finally, if you're including any values or script from ThunderBolt!, please credit me :)

Thanks!

i cant get landscape wallpaper only portrait

i like auto brigthness settings using a screen protector is very good
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
about screenstate_scale - i tested it, not included it - it slipped by accident in previous versions - I wanted to do different thing not to change governor ... Maybe the script itself it's not battery hungry, but, by using it I got about 2% more battery loose overnight. So forget it. I told before, I think ondemand governor is smart enough to scale frequencies by itself. If you don't have cpu hungry apps in background be sure that the cpu will not switch to higher freq just like that. It's up to the users if they want or not use this script. They can get from your thread ... I'm not convinced about it !!

about zipalign - I saw it's creating a text file with zip-aligned apks, I'm not convinced anymore that it's a must-have ! Maybe after big list of installed apps... maybe ... About this I have to study some more !

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

@didicola - TW3 is based on stock JVT TW3, slightly modified - it does not have landscape mode ... I'll keep in mind, maybe i'll modify this too !

Thank you for your auto-brightness feedback ! I'm now modifying setting for light value 5001+
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
The screenstate_scaling is not only changing the governor, it changes the VM settings to be more battery saving as well. And yes, ondemand now has a sleep detection patch, which makes it more battery saving than conservative. I've changed the script to do that actually.

Only for the "Others" version, I'm not sure if they have the ondemand sleep detection patch, and without the patch, conservative sleep a little better than ondemand.

Zipaligning an app makes it consume less memory. It's kinda a must have if you want to have apps not consuming a lot of memory. You'd be surprised that certain market apps are not zipaligned when published. I once noticed Viber and PlantsvsZombies not being zipaligned. Scary huh?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] didicola:
i was reffering to wallpaper set but i did it with quick pic
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
@pikachu - may I ask you something about VM settings ??? If your phone does nothing during sleep time, or do a little thing ... why do you need better memory management ??? to swap what ??? and why ???? do you think about this ??? I told you before - don't do things that they are not needed !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Your phone does nothing at sleep time, but the phone is not asleep all the time. Notice in "Battery Use", even when your phone's display is off, it still wakes up periodically to do something. That something might involve doing fsyncs, I/O transactions, updating the uptime, updating the /proc/sys files etc.

We need better memory management at sleep because I've tuned the VM that while awake, it will focus more on keeping caches in RAM and not writing it to I/O as much as possible, making the phone very smooth.

When screen is off, I made the garbage collection slower, while making the VM less aggressive which makes it write all uncommitted data to I/O (we don't care how slow it does this at this point, but we need to make sure that the cache is kept as small as possible so that any transactions when it is awake is kept to the RAM as much as possible).

And I do think of it actually. Much more than most people do :P

Please let me know if you have questions regarding Unix/Linux in general and don't be misguided by your own theories or half truths. There's a saying that goes like "You're better off knowing nothing than practicing half-truths". This goes very much in line of what's going on here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Yes you may be right ... but i'm not convinced ... Until I take this to test some more, and convince myself ... I don't think updating uptime ( maybe few written bytes ) can influence memory swap too much ... anyway .. I used some settings from a linux tutorial for this, when run on battery - for me it's enough ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
AUTO-BRIGHTNESS has now values set up for light sensor values :

5lux, 1000lux, 5000lux, 10000lux, 15000lux ...

for 10000 and 15000lux I'm not sure about lcd screen brightness because here is quite cloudy and got it only under bright LED lamp. I also don't know if you can get values bigger than 15000 from our SGS light sensor. I cannot find this information anywhere .. Maybe I go later to test with my car's xenon headlights .. Maybe I can get bigger values. Until now ... 15000lux is maximum light sensor value I got and set.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
It was written that way because the initial VM while awake is very aggressive (in ThunderBolt!). Hence the need for screenstate_scaling to tune its VM when asleep so that the caches will get written out to I/O. Hence, it's not only a few bytes.

Consider this. You installed an APK while the screen is on. 30MB is written. Linux then writes around 5MB to disk and 25MB on RAM (making installation appear to be very fast). The 25MB will be kept in the RAM (as VM is trying to keep most of everything in the RAM). Then you switch off the screen. VM changes, and now it writes most of everything out to disk reducing the cache uses because VM is less aggressive.

my friend the 14panel works flawless u rock

i love your samsung tablet modem it connects instantly:eek: to the same wifi router that other days used to "negotiate " alot more

plz plz make us a flashable zip with google apps missing and it will be the very best rom;)

ps going to test gps performance on a cloudy weather
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
can you please tell me apps you want : maps, latitude, talk ? I don't use them so I don't know them all :)

I'll put them to /data/app so you can uninstall them easily :)

What about brightness settings - do you like them ? do you think that they are too dark ?

I looked in Market after Google and I found a lot of apps ... why you don't get them from there ?? They are really all ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
about brightness ...

As I said before, today is a cloudy day in Madrid,Spain ... but in the street i get 5000 lux, and I can see that the screen changes almost 3 times iys brightness ...

Inside Home, with no light, 5 lux... under a 60W light, no more than 1000 lux

I keep saying ... is a very FAST rom. I´m very pleased with it :)

EDITED: I come from another odex ROM, Milky ROM, JVR based. I tested about 5 deoxed JVT roms ... nothing compares to yours :)

BTW, to be better, I please you to include appwidgetpicker, to group all the widgets :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
is it annoying for you the way it changed its brightness ??? is it readable in the street ?

I don't know why at minimum auto-brightness level, after some time, just before the screen goes off ... it goes to a higher brightness level ... but just for 1-2 seconds before the screen goes off. dunno why.

automatic-brightness takes brightness level even lower than lowest value in manual config, for me it's very relaxing in the night to read/browse ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
For me is not annoying at all ....

Is a fact for me that ROMS with 2.1 has better autobrightness than 2.2 and later.

I suppose that I´d get used to it :)

But is not bad at all, for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
- the light values returned by light sensors are as I said before : 5, 1000,5000,10000,15000 , there are no intermediary values.

- the values set in SAMSUNG original config file are completely strange : 30, 2000, 6000, 11000 ... completely stupid values.

I just tried to optimize, I think I have to review the update interval for light sensor ( I don't know yet where this value is located - I hope it's not in the kernel, or we can change using sysctl/ echo val > ) .. .maybe a little bit more time between updates to avoid strange changes of brightness.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
Perhapas those values are "stupid" by a reason ... perhaps sweet spots ??

As a noob in programing I must be completely wrong :)

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Just Flashed the last Teaser version ... and it looks a bit darker :), but not bad by the moment.

Will test it . Thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
i don't quite understand what you mean by "sweet spots" ...

The intervals I set are : 0->5 , 6->1000, 1001->5000, 5001->10000, 10001->15000, 15001+ ... ( don't have any clue above this value ... maybe 10000 is very big for sunny day - I tell you guys again, the value of 15000 I got under very bright LED lamp )

their values produce these intervals: 0->30, 30->2000, 2000->6000, 6000->11000 and above 11000, maybe just to lead people on wrong paths, or ...

equivalents :

light sensor values :

my setting - SAMSUNG original

0->5 = 0->30

6->1000 = 30->2000

1001->5000 = 2000->6000

5001->10000 = 6000->11000

10001->15000 = 11000+

15001+ = ?? ( this may be very hard to achieve/

maybe

very bright summer day )

LCD brightness - my setup :

0->5 = 5 ( samsung default is 30 )

6->1000 = 20 ( samsung default is 60 )

1001->5000 = 40 ( samsung default is 100 - I think I modified this some time ago - don't remember now )

5001->10000 = 90 ( samsung default is 170 )

10001->15000 = 160 ( I think this is the value which must be set during very bright sunny day - can be very low - cannot test until we have here a sunny day ) ( samsung default is 240 )

15000+ = 240

11000+ ( samsung default is 240 )

---

LE: I think I'll increase 0->5 value to 10 if I'll have more request for this. It's very relaxing to read in the night

LE2: or make what I said ... a cwm addon for brighter screen :) you switch from cwm ( lower auto-brightness/ medium/ higher )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Namiga:
for the "sweet spots" I mean values of light for wich the screen is made for.

Some screens are better for some conditions... perhaps the Amoled are well suited for some brightness instead some values ...

Is an opininion, not a real true :)

thanks guys ... did you install teaser version ?? can you report feedback about screen brightness please ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilalali:
I logged my account in today after a year, just to say thank you on a ROM well done. Its perfect, and you deserve all the gratitude. :)

I've been following this thread since page 1, and I must say i love where you are taking this. :)

Today I upgraded to the latest 13 Nov teaser, and have nothing to report but perfection in both speed and stability. Concerning the screen brightness, I usually keep it on the lowest manually, for maximum battery life. But I turned on auto-brightness for testing's sake, and have to say it was too dark in normal room lighting conditions. The brightness was too low to see anything properly, so I defaulted back to the lowest normal brightness.

But apart from that, I'm absolutely in love with your ROM. You have a fan in me. I would donate if I could, but I live in a country where paypal isn't supported.. :(

But still.. awesome work.. I greatly appreciate it.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
For me screen brightness seems to be fine. I don't use auto brightness anyway. I just to set knew to half and leave it. One quick question is why u chose the modem u have? Do u think I would benefit in the UK from a different one?

Thanks again

the auto brigthness works perfect

depending on the current amount of light i can read easily the screen

for the google apps i cant find them in the market honestly

so plz make a zip with gtalk with video support the google maps and latitude and the google contacts sync

thanks in advance

ps. one last with the 14 tab which works perfect the default power control gets stuck and the buttons dont work but it doesnt matter
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oserx:
Thank you for your kind words and your king offer, but I told in the first post if you guys want to donate please go and drink a beer or coke with your friend :)

I started this ROM because I didn't find something I like - I wanted something slim, fast ... and thanks to you guys I'm developing more and more :)

I'll switch minimum brightness level from 5 to 10 ( samsung default is 30 ) and test it - only minimum brightness seems too low, the rest for 1000 and 5000lux seems fine for me ..

----

@drew071 - I tested different modems for battery consumption during night time and call time. I personally like ZSJPG and JQ1 - My cell provider is Orange - I don't use other providers. I'm not expert in modem stuff ... I only read tutorials by Perka and some other guys here. I tried to get best call quality, and battery consumption. Cannot suggest anything for you in UK .. Just share experience with other guys in your country.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
ok, cheers anyway. the modem seems to be working good for me to be honest. JP9 works well for me so il see how this runs and then might change later.

thanks again
