[Galaxy S I9000 General] stratosk:
OK, I'm sorry about my last sentence.

But I still cannot understand why using custom kernel is bad.

All gingerbread roms use the same linux kernel version (2.6.35.7). I believe that samsung makes only minor changes for bug fixes. Have a look for example the latest update in sources. The only thing that actually changed was soeme code for light sensor (auto brightness issue).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Flashing custom kernel is bad if it is a product of a developer who doesn't know what he doing.

Stratosk is a magic developer for sgs.

Ok now you have latest JW1 kernel with latest changes. What you feel?

I'm on semaphore.

-Undervolted and now using 1300 mhz on stock voltage. Others are -125. No issues by months with that values.

-Converted ext4 + flashed thunderbolt scripts.

-CFS settings making my sgs a gaming console. I play hi end games with max fps cap on my sgs.

-My browsing speed is better.

-My battery life is much better. And my colors too. On stock my sgs looks like someone pissed on it.

-I can install apps bigger than 50mb because of semaphore manager. (Not kernel reletaed but easier)

-Touchscreen is more sensivite.

-Sqlite optimized (so faster phonebook etc)

-Better sound because of voodoo (for me)

Now say me why that is bad?

And say me If new sources rocks, why games lagging on gingerbread and smooth on froyo? (don't say me ram because I know what causes it. if you want to know because of gpu drivers.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adityak28:
From where did you get the JW1 semaphore?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
I said it to somator. JW1 stock kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
people that flash custom kernels do not see the speed difference i saw from jv1 to jvq to jvt to jvz/jw1 - every firmware revision adds a little responsivnes here there and the change from jvt to jw1 is one the most noticable i think

they say that all the versions seems the same in terms of responsivness and i can understand now their frustration when new firmware comes - why should they flash if the only change they notice is some software bugfix like phone fc :)

thats why i say custom kernels are bad :]

do not understaand me wrong i am pro modifications made to UP-TO-DATE sources and any modifications made to system files as samsung aint doint its best with the firmware and system software but i require some standarts to be met for me to use particular modificaation or kernel

so keep on researching :)

ive got absolutley no problems with browsing speed of stock browser

only difference comes when i am not on wifi and on weak data connection reception

but that is unrelated

the biggest difference in bttery performnce so far came with jvz/jw1

when phone stopped to consume battery in horrible speed when sync on accounts is on

so i guess some code was patched for phone to realy go to sleep with all its modules

as for colors i am happy with the ones that my displaay got now :) depends on particular unit i guess

never had problem with installing bigger apps

my touchscreen sensitivity is ok since froyo, you do not need custom kernel to twek that anyways

and guess wht there is aan aapp for that https://market.android.com/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com

have checked some time ago on jvt the latest sqlite files and saw aabsolutley no difference in phone speed,

contacts/massages as usual were loading longer when opened first time and every next load was instant

i find that patch 1)placebo effect 2)unnoticable wo deatailed tests 3)latest i9000 files got it optimized already

there is an app for that and it is worth every penny to support curio

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate

and you willl have voodoo sound kernel inderpendent
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stratosk:
I have never said that flashing a custom kernel will solve all your software problems in our device. Or that there will be huge difference in performance or in battery life.

I believe that custom kernels gives you some extra features (OC, BLN, Voodoo snd or color, different governors tweaked for phones, schedulers that fits best for a phone, ext4, etc). I fully respect that someone don't want to use some or any of them. But saying to other people that custom kernel is 'bad', is something that I disagree.

About old sources: samsung use linux kernel 2.6.35.7 for all gingerbread versions. Don't expect huge difference between rom's versions in kernel code. This is almost the same. Maybe some bug fixes. They will not rewrite the ondemand module, or frame buffer driver, ext4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
I am guessing that $omator never actually tested the custom kernels before. Judging by the sqlite statement, you've never played with an app that does heavy sql writes before, hence your inaccurate conclusion :/

$omator, try them out at least before giving a biased point of view. At least give ThunderBolt! a try for at least a day. Or load up Semaphore for a few days then give an unbiased statement of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
And I have 24 mb more ram because I use 353 mb ram version.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KMino:
Is a huge improvement here. No lag with all the widgets I have. Always test stock before, was still slow scrolling screens. Talon sped it up somewhat and TB made it silky smooth like a Thai girl :)

Stock JW1 Odex - latest TalonDEV & ThunderBolt!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mialwe:
Your opinion. Any proof (kernel related)?

=your opinion everybody has to adopt (you say "is" not "in my opinion is...") ?

It's 2.6.35-7 which it was for previous releases, too. Not even the "-7" has changed. What makes you so sure that there were so many changes?

But it is true. To be honest - I never thought users would be interested in the date but you might be right here.

EDIT: Thre Update2 release was about beginning of August (if I remember right) that's less than 4 months - what makes you tell the users the sources are "half year" old?

I have not been following what you were doing but maybe there was a reason for that?

People who are interested how the new stock kernel performs try it, no?

- Like with AndiP/his UI mod you are judging about other peoples work.

- Nobody is forced to use other peoples work.

- If custom kernels work better (people must decide themselves) than stock ones or have features users need/want to test people will continue using it.

Going to check what I wrote about kernel source date now, I think I deleted it some time ago as I thought nobody would be interested anyways.... and nobody asked since then...
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I was expecting overheating issues lag and crappy controls but no its runing smooth 0 lag and kind to the battery too. 30 mins of playing = 10% battery

The phone does get warm but nothing even close to high temps or overheating 38.4C after 30 mins O.O

This fixes market I hope.

1. Download the stock T-mobile rom from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308078 (Version doesn't matter)

2. Open the zip file go into the system folder and copy build.prop

3. Place the file somewhere on your sd card.(remember where)

4. Clear data from Settings > Applications > All > Market

5. Download and install ES File Explorer from the market

6. Launch ES File Explorer. Enable both Root Explorer and Mount File System under Settings > Root Settings..

7. Navigate to /system. Here you will find the build.prop file. Take a backup of it by copy-pasting it to your SD card.

8. Replace it with the one from step 3 (the one in /system)

9. Reboot & try to find the game in the market.

10. Let me know if it worked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiznessMan:
I've been playing it quite a lot of on my Amaze as well.

Great so far, but I have noticed some slowdown in certain areas, especially when driving into multiple cars at a high speed (probably due to the physics)

Controls are nice too. Shooting is a little difficult, but it was like that 10 years ago. Great game, worth the five dollars
[HTC Amaze 4G] alexp162002:
Did you have to change your build.prop to download it? It is showing as not compatible with the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeRRiiN:
It won't even show up on the market for me :(

Does anyone know what can I do to get it? I really want that game so if I have to change something in the build.prop like it was mention then I could do that I just dont know what part to change.
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
there are couple versions of the game just make sure you type in grand theft auto 3 and you should find the right 1 that's the 1 I download

Im runing quicksense 1.5.1 maybe it has a masked build and i can see all of the versions dunno
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Also try looking for rockstar games they are the publishers of the game
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeRRiiN:
No luck.

I'm pretty sure the developer of the ROM you're using made some changes to the build.prop because I can't see any version on the market.

I'm rooted but running stock ROM
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I have a friend using htc sensation and he can run the game without any problems .he is running stock rom and I'm guessing it should be released for h t c amaze pretty soon

the only other thing I can think of is this application called market enabler ive used it before but not on the amaze so I'm not sure if it works
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeRRiiN:
Alright, I'll give that a shot
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeRRiiN:
Well, neither recommendation worked so I had to do something I don't like to do and only do in times of suffering....I had to Google the apk lol.

I agree with most of you. The game is smooth but when you're driving and there's lots of cars around and/or raining it does get a little slow but overall It's a great game.
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I'm sorry you couldn't get the game started I really don't know what else you can do at this point.on the other hand for everybody else got the game going there is a graphics enchantment patch

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399258

it does make the game a little bit slower but it's definitely worth it ha I'm using it and it's working fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeRRiiN:
You completely misunderstood me.

I said that I already have the game but I got it from googling the apk since the market wouldn't let me buy it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
It runs smoothly for me as well. Sometimes its choppy but that is rare and only when i'm hauling ass in the banshee. Great game for the amaze.

With chainfire you should be able to install nvidia tegra games
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
I sent rockstar an email they got back to me that they will have there tech department test it on some amazes and verify it runs fine and add the amaze to the compatibility list.
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
ok i think i figured out why it does not work for some people but for others it does

i just flashed beastmod 2.whatever latest ver. and tried to install all of my apps back.

i got all of them except gta3 so i went to the market trough my pc and looked it up clicked install and it made me choose a device - HTC Ruby (grayed out) HTC Amaze (compatible) and some older phones. So... im assuming the htc amaze is my first amaze that was broken and i returned it so that leaves me with HTC Ruby. then i went into the build.prop and saw that the device was marked as HTC Ruby not HTC Amaze. Even though its the same device the market does not recognize Ruby.

So this could be a solution but im not a dev so cant be 2 sure its gonna work.

I need a stock Htc amaze 4g build.prop so i can swap it out with the one that came with Beastmod.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
I was on quicksense and it didn't show after sending the email to rockstar and getting there reply just a couple hours ago it showed up in my market again I did nothing else nice :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
:( dont see it in my market
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
What rom are you running?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
beast 2.1.2
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I'm running the same rom and I have the same issue. My guess is that it has something to do with the build.prop. I'll try to get in touch with X and see if he has any suggestions.

how can i stop the running applications? because when i holding the home button there is no task manager and after i connect my phone to the internet it runs slowly , how can i stop and how can i view the running apps? is there any application for that?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jangrie:
wanna know why ur battery doesnt last long? cause ur killing apps.. android does that by itself and very efficient u dont need to interfere. DONT use task killer u dont need it and it causes instability and drains battery life even more..cause all the things u kill and android needs to run will be recreated by android ..so in the end u won nothing ;)

And u can find Stock ROMs here

And btw. Battery Calibration just replaces the existing system file of ur battery, so it doesnt do anything directly to ur battery. But because it is important to do that everytime u flashed u should do it..once not more cause it wouldnt make sense as it justs creates a new file.

So I had my Nexus S rooted running a ROM of ICS. I downgraded to 2.3.6. I signed into 2.3.6 and then rebooted into Recovery. I updated the zip file as an Update.zip and it said it was installed correctly. Now my phone is dead. I won't turn on, it won't do anything. So I'm screwed.

Can someone please tell me whether or not Best Buy Mobile will be able to tell that my phone was Rooted when I tell them this happened when I was doing the OTA or should I just drop it in a bowl of water and say water damage?

All of the "I can answer but now I won't" replies are just as stupid. A simple "You should have done [insert great idea here], but here is your answer..." would have done just as well. And saved all the arguing. But I digress.

I don't know if they would be able to tell the phone was rooted.

I assume not, if it's actually bricked. Obviously yes if they are able to get it running again... but that seems to involve some work, which we all know, store employees don't like doing. I'd throw it in the toilet, flush it, and return it saying you dropped it in the toilet.

Hi guys,

My xperia play became faulty with it mic a week ago and I sent it back to Sony under warranty

Sony states that it has a two year warranty which I thought was great but not so for me because it was unlocked to all networks they refused to fix the device yes I say refused to fix the phone I could not believe it after an argument over the phone with them regarding this as it was bought unlocked from an Internet retailer they said to me due to this it was not covered anyway under the international warranty if it is an unlocked device so buyers be aware of this.

I had never had any problems with samsung,apple or asus for phone repairs before and I did not expect Sony to shaft me. So I have invested in a phone that can't be repaired due to not purchasing from then direct.

I will never buy only again all products as I have now a phone which I had to pay for the return this is not good after sales at all.

I did like the handset but now I have ordered anew galaxy nexus where I do get a 110% after sales backup so stuff Sony.

Has anyone else had bad reports from sony like me please put your views down below as I have now just a gaming device for 400 notes he he.

Thanks

Also how was it "damaged"? Did you drop it in water or breach any of the other rules that are not covered by warranty?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
IN the EU is mandatory to have two years of warranty.
[Xperia Play General] jimmyvau:
Sony states in bold lettering on their bootloader unlock page that unlocking the phone will void the warranty.
[Xperia Play General] 007shark:
The OP isn't referring to an unlocked bootloader. He is referring to carrier unlocked which means it has generic firmware without the carrier specific bloatware and able to be programmed with different apns for different carriers with their SIM card.
[Xperia Play General] steelmm:
Hi again guys

Yes the phone was carrier unlocked i bought it when it was first released to the UK in April

I think it's a firmware issue not hardware so I will try to fix it by reflashing with a custom firmware and kernel at least I can still play my android games on the device.

Thanks

Hi guys, I got a refurbished galaxy mini a few days ago, I decided to see if I could update it with Samsung kies, I got the phone unlocked but before it was locked to Three and still has all the branding, when j plugged it into kies it said an update was available, but it was a Three ROM, my question is this, will updating it through kies with that ROM reactivate the sim lock?

I know its a noob question but I'm now paranoid about updating it incase it reactivates the Sim lock :(

Probably it will lock your sim card again. However, I am not so sure about it. Never tried that. :)
