yesterday i had no gps for a short time, i restart the phone and it works again. i installed a gps test app. and it says gps is ok, but gps didn't works. no idea, i couldn't force the error a second time, so no idea.

with the cm9 i have gps lock after 1 or 2 minutes its really fast.

Does data usage works for you ? i mean it's working but after i browsed with 3G on 9gag for about 1 MINUTE, it told me i consumed 10 mb of traffic. :eek:

30 seconds browsing on google play without downloading anything, 3 mb traffic. :eek:

Are these values correct or they are fake ? :eek:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] drummer1839:
I Have it all ready instaled
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] _strauch_:
I have 32mb in 4days so it looks ok for me, i have 9mb with google play but i installed some apps over the 3g network.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] bruzzler2809:
i have 4,72 mb in 2 days, and traffic monitor says 4,5MB. so it is pretty exact..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
for me battery is good enough, on the old boot.img (before the boot1 and boot2 zips) , on 60% battery today i i flashed the boot2.zip (i skiped boot1.zip) , and it drained faster. i'm reverting back to the old boot.img, before the cpu scaling and new audio drivers. (hope arco too reverts what he did with the cpu) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
may i know what is your display time?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
And what's wrong with the cpu and sound drivers ? i don't get it.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] eBug:
It doesn't, that's why I'm puzzled. Here's the content of Boot_loader.tar:

-rwxr-xr-x 0/0 875040 2011-04-25 13:41 osbl.mbn
-rwxr-xr-x 0/0 29184 2011-04-25 12:56 partition.bin

No such thing as boot.img
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
These are the essential things that get started when you switch on your phone. These files then start the kernel (boot.img). So if you mess with these files and want to flash them with DD - just go ahead. But as I don't think anybody ever tried this and can tell you which file goes on which partition on your phone, your risk of a permanent hard brick is VERY high.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
it doesn't show the actual %, but u can deduce it from the second picture..

sound drivers are ok, i'm talking about the new cpu scaling.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
About the vibra...you know what's funny? That my haptic feedback from exDialer for example is stronger than the one when someone is calling me...

This is my battery drain
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Yes as Wintel_Mac mentioned these files are used to start the flashing process,

so before proceeding with the flashing the phone dds zeros to the partitions.

similar to what we do using terminal.

so the boot loader doesn't have the actual img file only some some files which do the cleaning up.

if you know how to make an odin flashable file you'll notice that you will have to include the same files in you'r tarball :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] shahbaz5588:
hmmm interesting... can someone test the vibration in the app ViBe (or something similar) and actually test it out further... just to check if there is a similar occurrence as described above

Link to the the ViBe app:

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iYXNlMmFwcHMudmliZXMiXQ..)

p.s. i would have tested it myself, but currently i don't have CM9 installed on my sgs+
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] seba2121:
Vibe is not compatible with our smartphone

Sorry for my english.

Napisane z SGS+ Brood RC4
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
installed it now, u can feel the different vibrations, but it's soft, i mean, it's been already said that the vibration level is a bit weak on cm9.

Another appeal to arco, plz revert what u did to the cpu in boot1.zip, wake lag is present, even when the phone is on charge :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
WHAT is wrong ? i see no difference. Wake lag is present with every rom/kernel for this phone.

I don't get it, explain what's wrong with the cpu change.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Harrocan:
Vibration is very weak.. are almost undetectable...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
YOU DON'T SAY ?

We already know that. Arco already knows that, be patient.

Anyway, just browsing through arco's github repository, and i saw this: "Revise vibration patterns" - 11 hours ago. Could this be the fix ? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
I upgraded to the latest Flash player, but still flash videos don't play through the Browser.

And has arco done any changes to wifi ?

cause my signal strength has reduced after flashing the new kernel

before only the wifi indicator would show less signal bars, but would work fine, but now the wifi signal is weak.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

This is offtopic

but where is skywalker01 anyways ?

we really need a powerful kernel from him right now.

i'm sure he can solve the vibe problems.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
Nope, wifi is the same as before.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
yes mate i know u are having lag on all version, but before the last 2 kernels i would see wake lag every 10th or 15th waking, now it's almost everytime.

this is the change that in my opinion might be reverted (maybe i'm wrong, maybe i have no clue what i'm talking about, i'm just saying in real life usage it's lagging).

here and here are posts that back my saying.

these are all test kernels btw, and changes made are not final.

a lil bird told me sky is working on a soon to be released project, but everything in it's time ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
I don't have any lags with the lockscreen, it's because i enabled Kernel samepage merging from performance settings.

maybe this might work for you.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
i haven't had enough time to mess around with those settings, will try it, thanx for the tip mate ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
Don't make me force you. :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Harrocan:
Nope. That's just changed vibra values. And added some new for other actions
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Ostatni:
Someone can tell my why my phone always is Awake? Its draining my battery

EDIT.

@downI have clear CM9 by arco
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Harrocan:
Meaby you have some tweaks? Some task killer?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
Anyway, arco, is this helpful for a possible camera fix ? https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Camera

There are some files or i don't know what from i9000 cyanogenmod WORKING camera.

Anyway, arco, in case you missed it a couple of pages back, about camera fix:

This is pawtip's repository, i think: https://github.com/pawitp/repositories
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Harrocan:
Camera is not really needed, but.. Vibra is more important! :D Anyway, meaby i run ICS on my own, but anyone can tell mi, what kitchen i need?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
Camera is needed. Oh, if you don't need it, it's your problem. :D

But yes, vibration and camera should be the priority. And also the call quality.

Anyway, i guess these are the libs from pawitp's repository which has to do with camera: https://github.com/pawitp/android_frameworks_base/tree/gingerbread/libs/camera (or i might be wrong)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] arco68:
I've been looking into this vibration thing a little bit. In case of your phone, it's using a kernel driver named vibetonz and a userspace service called immvibed. Then in stock rom, Samsung has some custom code which communicates with this immvibed service. Of course this is closed source, so it can't be used in ICS. Only the standard Android vibration service can be used, but it seems to expect higher values from kernel space than what it gets. On the Galaxy W there's a different kernel driver for the vibration, but it has pretty much the same issue with weak vibration. I've tried changing some parameters in it, but no luck with it yet. That said, on the Galaxy W with stock rom, the vibration *is* very weak and mostly non-existent. Dunno how it is on the Galaxy S Plus though. I'll continue digging around.

About the cpu stuff someone mentioned, I'm still experimenting with this and doing testing on my own phone. Expect more test kernels to come. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AndrolinRoot:
if arco get all work he would get a lot of donations...so I think he gives the best
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
What about the camera things i posted on this page ? :D can you look over them, please ? :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] annqx:
I would say vibration strength in CM9 is about 5-10% of what we had in GB ROMs
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mobuch:
Vibration strength

I agree with the above.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
And wouldn't it be possible to port the vibration drivers from Gingerbread on ICS ?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] arco68:
And about the camera, I can't really test those libs you're talking about since I don't have this phone. But if anyone wants to test it, go ahead. Even if the camera sensor is the same, I doubt it will work cause the drivers are for a different SoC, and the kernel stuff it communicates with are different.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
I don't know how to implement them. But i can try it for you if you would make a flashable zip with them. :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AndrolinRoot:
I dont think so,because this is a rom which isnt based on a stock rom like roms we used (broodrom etc.)

correct me If I am false
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
Yeah, you're right, but after all, vibrations are vibrations, right ? they are all the same. :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Xistance:
Maybe not 5% but more like 20% for me.

I am getting MAJOR disconnections at random intervals. Sometimes doesn't disconnect for 1-2 hours and sometimes it disconnects 3 times within 1-2 minutes. This always happens when I am using an app like a game (Asphalt 6 in this case) or watching some videos on Mx player or vplayer. Lol disconnected while I was typing this -.- . Well, whatever. Doesn't bother me that much as it comes back a few seconds later.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Ostatni:
Someone know why awake is on always? Someone know what i can do?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AndrolinRoot:
You must calibrate your battery..

search in google play market for a app...but read how to do it
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Xistance:
This has happened to more than 4 people now including me so I am starting to think it is a rom bug rather than an app causing it.

Edit: I fixed it by deleting setcpu and calibrating but I don't know :/
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AndrolinRoot:
I had the problem too...you must calibrate your battery only this could help
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Harrocan:
arco, meaby open roms from samsung can help you? Dont you think? I'm not expert, i'm only PHP programmer, so i can be wrong.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] arco68:
With boot2.zip test? Don't panic, I'm aware of this and are investigating. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
No that's nonsense. :confused:

Those files do not start the flashing process, these are the files that are flashed. As they are of course closed source, you can't tell 100% what goes on in there, but

dbl.mbn might be the download mode or something (maybe device boot loader)

one is the file that loads the kernel (should be "osbl.mbn", may be abbreviation to OS boot loader)

Don't know really what EMMCBOOT.MBN is, but I've seen it on other devices, too. Some more boot code probably that deals with file access, as the internal memory is referenced as EMMC.

partition.bin may be a similiar thing as the partition table on a normal hard disk.

The actual boot.img of course always goes to mmcblk0p8 since this is the hardcoded boot partition, whereas recovery will always be booted from mmcblk0p13. Maybe these are defined in partition.bin? Don't know.

Btw: if you take a normal ODIN stock ROM (from Samsung), open it with 7z, extract amss.mbn and open this file with 7.

Then you will get some of the early parts. If you know how to disassemble them, you might get some more insight in this. Unfortunately I don't.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Just one question arco do you buy our phone ?

Because i want to donate in the next time so if you need more donations to buy it i will hurry

Yep. If your need donation, just tell about it. :D You're doing a really good piece of work, so I see no reason why I not help you
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
That has become pretty normal unfortuntately. They do it like this, since the most crucial parts are already loaded, so the app seems to start faster. Those Devs are bad ones and don't care about your free RAM and battery drain. Your only option is to contact them and ask them to change their apps.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] blubberheld:
Just do it.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Ostatni:
Yes i use your boot2.zip with new boot. This boot is my problem? For this awake?

Edit.

Does anyone else have a problem with sending and receiving mms?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] arco68:
Do you mean stock roms? Then no, not really. Only for some stuff.

I'm not sure. I realize now that working on 2 phones (well 3 actually, as I'm also doing some work for the Exhibit II) is a bit too much. So the best I think would be to pass this project over to a developer already owning this phone, to take care of primary maintenance, and I can co-maintain it. But I dunno, we'll see.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Thank you for this information

i wanted to donate anyway

And thank you for this big and great piece of work !
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] bogac94:
arco please dont leave us. youre the best dev i have ever seen. please buy our phone and continue this awesome work !
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
That's the main problem, we don't have any developer. You are our only hope.

@PortoBraso, you can donate, we can all donate so arco will buy a phone and continue the development. Or maybe Maclaw is interested in a port, but he already said that he will do it if we buy a phone for him. So you might pass the work to him, but he needs a phone too.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ilpianista:
my /proc/mtd is empty. Can someone post his /proc/mtd file?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mobuch:
If someone asks for a phone in front of doing anything then something is wrong.

Arco gave us something big, without the phone in his hands, without asking for one. He deserved to be donated as he gave something to the community.

You want to buy phone for a guy who tells you "I'm able to give you Ics for all devices out there, but buy them for me first" - go for it, I'm not going to take part in this as long as I don't see any efforts from his side. Otherwise it is just hiring consultant/ developer to do the job, xda is not the job portal, its community portal.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] eBug:
Thanks for the info!

So what is the point of this particular boot_loader.tar if it doesn't include any img file but only files to do the clean up. What happens after the clean up in this specific case?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
There is no cleanup done.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Ostatni:
Ok Im writing on xda PM with Macław because we are from poland. He can start port CM9 and dev it but he rly need phone. Probably a lot of people do not trust him with the first phone later effects, but if you look at it is working on four different versions of the CM9 phones and has over 10,000 thanks so is a trusted person. He need 250$ if you want donate him for this phone there is link https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...l&item_name=Donation+XDA+Forums&no_shipping=1. Donate him normal from this link but but in the commentary should add that it is for SGS Plus
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Karls0:
Don't you think most people can feel deceived? Ok he made great job but they paid for the phone and now he said "no". Don't understand me wrong, he can do what he want with this money but i think it is not fair in 100%. I really hope he will change his decision
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] RavoxX:
Why should we donate now to him? Arco did a really amazing job, he deserves every donations now. He ported a version in 2 days, I don't think that anyone else could do this. Furthermore he said that he doesn't know if he'll go on developing for this phone but he didn't said that he will stop. Let's hope that he won't stop or he fixes at least the main bugs as Arco seems to be a very nice guy so I don't think that he will leave us from one day to another without at least trying to fix the last important bugs.

And why does everyone say what the next important fix is? Arco has a Galaxy Wonder with the very same bugs as our phone, he'll know what the next step is for a better handling in everyday-life. Let him make what he want.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
just as a comment on the donation talks, if anybody deserves donations then it's arco. Period (also skywalker for all his contribution in general).

as for getting a device to a dev, the best option would be to get it for someone who would know how to mess with the camera and get it working, like it's working on I9000.

arco is not closing the door,y u guys always dramatize about it,and sound like development will stop. i don't see y anyone who'd be working on the camera and the rest of the major bugs couldn't count on arco for any ideas/support.

anyways, in conclusion, if we'll donate to get a device for someone, imo let's keep the camera as one of the priorities :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] [GR]Frostbyte:
Well, personally, regardless if arco continues development or not.. regardless if he buys the phone or not.. regardless if he fixes the camera or not.. he has earned my donation fair and square, because he bothered and delivered. (And still bothers and delivers)

I guess I'll be getting my salary once the easter vacations are over (part time job at university :p), but once I get it, expect a neat donation. ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
We still have Skywalker thought, who already owns a i9001.

hope he contacts arco soon
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rayiskon:
well arco has his pm's OFF , no one can contact him, so it can be done only the other way around.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] kellermanv:
I spoke with skywalker. He is still working on CM7, got some things fixed up, but it's in the same state as CM9. He will also take a break from developing in the appropiate future, and he also said he doesn't like ICS and will continue his development of CM7.

So really our only hope is Arco.

And yes, the MAIN priority should be CAMERA now. I think we can all live with the other features not working or working partially. But camera is a great feature that must be on top of the priorities.

I am willing to test every build arco creates for camera testing. Just give me something to test with a possible camera fix!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] eBug:
Is that recovery needed only to flash the cm9 or is it needed to boot cm9 too?

Since I experience recovery bootloops with that recovery my idea is to:

flash cm9 recovery -> flash cm9 -> flash previous recovery1.

Would that be ok?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] [GR]Frostbyte:
We all test arco's builds, regardless on what he focuses on fixing. Nevertheless, you can count on me as well, for testing. Just be sure to include the necessary adb/log/debug commands or procedure, so you get as many logs/info/feedback possible. ;)

Btw, messages apk doesn't seem to have a key for "new line" in the keyboard.. is that due to ICS? Additionally I noticed that there's no option to force GSM alphabet on texting. I did tick the "strip unicode characters" option, however everytime I wrote stuff in Greek, I was forced to 60-70 characters limit. (Is it the counter that counted wrong? Or would it ignore the strip option and actually send multi-parted messages regardless?)

Also, I seem to be having two issues with the reports:

1) Messages that weren't received for a long time, didn't get a report (might've happened because the tested sms was a 2-page one). What's the timeout time before the phone stops asking for a delivery report?

2) Delivery reports don't seem to have a timestamp, so you don't know when your message was received. (If you hit the report details it only informs you about the state, delivered or not delivered, no timestamp)

Also about typing into textboxes in the browser, now it seems that pinpointing the cursor, moves it a line higher.. but dragging the blue arrow across the textbox works correctly.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

Recovery bootloops were adressed by flashing a bootloader thingy from odin, I guess. Look back a few pages and you'll find the solution.

Overall I'd suggest keeping arco's CWM, since he said that it has correct partition info. Plus, its required, but not limited, for CM9. You use it as a normal recovery, because that's what it is.

PS: now pinpointing at the textbox places the cursor a line below.. whacky behavior, seriously :p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] xeGox:
No arco...You "MUST" stay with us.

We need you...our phones need you!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] eBug:
As I said in a previous post, I can't use Odin, so I can't fix the recovery bootloop with that bootloader. Hence my idea of flashing first cm9 recovery, then cm9, then flashing back a non-bootloop pre-cm9 recovery. My question is whether I need cm9 recovery to actually _boot_ cm9 or whether it's only needed to _flash_ cm9.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] [GR]Frostbyte:
I don't think you need it to boot it. As the recovery is in a separate partition than the system. But I guess you'd still need it to apply CM9's updates.

Why you can't use odin? Can't get into download mode? As for a PC I assume you have a usb port :p
