Paul, I asked this a few days back but didn't see a response from anyone, so here goes again. If I wanted to place some apk files into the .zip file so they became installed on flashing, where would I put them? TIA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cem Kamoy:
Hi everybody,

I recently switch to RC4.2 and it's overall really good.

Thank's to everybody for the development.

For me the main reason was a stable OS and battery life.

Now we can talk about 50% success :)

Battery life is still a problem. Battery is draining within approx. 12 Hours with moderate use. a 5-10 Phone calls of 4-5 Minutes, E-mail, and 3-4 Minutes of Facebook from the browser. Rest Stand-By

I tried now Stok 2.3.3, Stok 2.3.6

xxJVU, then Darky's ROM 10.2 and now RC4.2

I am reading the forums now for the last 2 months and there are lot's of suggestions regarding the battery life. I focus on those with realistic references and I've seen battery lifes (screenshots) with 50% after 2 Days.....

Now the question:

HOW THE HELL DO YOU MANAGE THAT??? :D

I returned to xxJVT modem and using that one now.

Almost no background applications.

I've seen that the G-Mail push service is using the most.

With GMAIL disabled the best I've got was 42 hours. with only 3 phone calls of 3-4 minutes and rest stand-by.

I also replaced the battery. Reset battery stats with each ROM flash etc.

Slowly I believe that my device is defect or all those screenshots are fake :)

I thought you wer kidding yesterday. Wie ca fix this later.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trizzo:
Screenshots colud not be fake. The trick behind is pretty simple - disable data connections via GSM/3G network, or use pure 2G (EDGE) data connections. You will loose the comfort to use this device but the side effect will be nice battery life. From my side - my device lasts for 24 hours (approx.) with moderate usage. Every evening I have to put it on charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cem Kamoy:
It's correct what your say. When I disable 3g or/and GMAIL my best shot is 1.8 Days :)

And that was as I said above with really almost zero usage.???

I've never been able to get above it! while some guys talk about times above 3 days!

I've attached a screenshot from today for example. it's at 50% alraedy after 7 hours. it's 2PM now and if I have to make some more phone calls I can forget to reach home with a lasting battery :)))

I remember that it was not that bad when I bought it. it took at least 1.5 days even with everything enabled.

Maybe I shall try to revert to FROYO... or even ECLAIR..... :)))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trak-X:
It will not work. You might get in a bootloop. The zip has a script with the location of each file and folder. So those that you will put in the zip file will not be installed. That's what i understood. You need to unzip .. modify files/scripts .. recreated the CWM pack and then flash to phone.

@PaulForde

Why did you remove the Devils Kernel 1.1.5 with google logo from dropbox? =/

PS: Can you tell me what file i need to change (if its that easy), so we can do that by ourself in future? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
Awesome, great to hear it worked!

Devil kernel is awesome right?

/data/app/

Waiting for you in IRC =)

Yep, you would need to make an updater script to move the files to /data/app/

Guys.

If i flash a custom kernel and dont like it, how to revert to stock kernel? Where do i find it or can i flash the complete rom again? Is it a no wipe rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dom89:
Change governor for smartassV2.

Open camera then close it using Home button.

I want to ask anybody if have the same issue as me: when is gps locking there is small gps ikon in left upper corner of screen - thats normal. But when is there this ikon alone the center of ikon its not flashing while gps is locking signal. But when is there some another notification ikon like talk and atc. with gps icon together so the gps icon is flashing normaly when locking... when is alone it shows the center of icon only while gps is locked... somebody have the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
Because the versions are messed up, and its not that easy. The images are baked right into the kernel source and that needs to be change in the source and compiled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] abazz:
Brilliant! thank you very much for posting this

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Another excellent tip!

I've gone from slightly less than 24hrs to 19% after 3 days with similar usage.

Didn't bother with any calib app, simply fully charged, rebooted into recovery and deleted battery stats
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dinagoshen:
Hi all,

Can anyone confirm that ICS doesn't have ad-hoc netwroks support ?

Connectify is installed on my laptop but the sgs does not see it all at the wifi section.

i found some fix about replacing wpa_supplicant ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pipperox:
True, and as a computer engineer i'd rather rely on measures and hard facts to make such comparison.

The sad truth is that there is no single decent benchmark on Android to asses the performance of a kernel or a ROM, so we have to rely on impressions.

Maybe I could post on youtube a couple of videos, one using Glitch and one using Devil, doing the same stuff with the UI, opening the apps drawer, launching browser, email, etc.

Devil 1.1 (i haven't tested 1.1.5 yet) is definitely sluggish compared to Glitch, and even to Semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cb95amc:
Yes, unfortunately this is the case...

I was able to get it to work via a hosted network under Windows 7 though...its not as convenient as an adhoc network, but it does the job.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vijai2011:

Hi, Just wanted to make sure i've done everything right before flashing the ROM.

I had recovery version 3E so I changed the firmware so im now on 2E, then using ROM manager I installed CWM and have rooted, Although when I boot into recovery it still appears as 2E, so can I now put the zip on the internal sd named Update and flash it?

Im running 2.2.1 Froyo

A quick note, backup efs folder and read for getting gingerbread bootloader before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
Wait! you need to flash a GingerBread rom first! use JVT or JVU, but the important thing is this: ICS needs a Gingerbread bootloader!

so load JVT or JVU, then root it, then flash ICS (and get a bootloop, remove/insert battery, go to recovery, flash again)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liam12189:
Yes, could I just flash the Gingerbread bootloader using ezboot so I don't have to download the full ROM?

Thanks

Thanks I was just about to backup efs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andifds:
Hi guys, I need your help, I'm having some annoying problems with ICS RC 4.2. After an exelent and clean installation my phone worked very good, but after a week my phone is not getting signal (2G and 3G hungs), the wifi sometimes deactivates and the most annoying is which the phone restarts to CWM recovery.

So I made a full wipe, and nothing, then I thought was the modem, re-flashed but nothing, then I thought was something wrong in the installing,so I re-flashed JVU, wiped all, re-flashed ICS but nothing, so I don't know whatto do, because I'tried JVU but wifi is annoying too, it disconnect every 10 seconds.

And now, I don't know which rom use!

Now I'm using ICS RC4.2 for I9000B

EDIT: when type *#*#0011#*#* appears UE YET TO CAMP when I loss the signal but then when is back:

UMTS: HOME (CS+PS)

RRC STATE: IDLE

WCDMA 850 BAND 5

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qpakao:
xD thx for "fixing" my gps.

When I was trying to get gps working, icon was not blinking. It finally started to blink after I took screenshot while running gps test app.

I tried modems JVU JVT JVR JVS JQ1 and kernels devil 1.0 devil 1.1 and semaphore 0.8 and 0.9 ;) but nothing worked.

Is reflashing only solution to this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Weetbix:
No, just keep taking screenshots :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qpakao:
:D I guess i will do that till RC 5 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dani01c:
Ok so I've been on this rom for 10 days. So far everything works fine except the auto brightness and so far mms which for some reason I can't see them. But the strangest thing is that I get an excellent battery life with wifi on but not on 3G. I could have sworn that I read someone say that you should change the modem to jvt or jvu. I'm on jvu and still have better battery life on wifi than 3G does anyone have a suggestion? I'm on the stock kernel that came with this. And came from darky rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
the kernel and other stuff work with odin and heimdall, only the modem is set to another place, so odin and heimdall will not work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsiftsism:
I wanna thank Ciao99 and Don MC for their help.

Finally got it worked. I was aware that i was having my brother's phone bricked since Download Mode was active but it was 1st time that CWM recovery got disappeared and wanted to know if there was an easiest way to get it worked without flashing a rom via Odin.

So the steps for me were: flash any rom via Odin (due to broken CMW) > reboot in recovery > flash a MIUI rom > reboot in recovery > flash the kernel (voodoo) > battery out and in > reboot in recovery > factory reset > flash the ROM > flash SU > reboot > Voila.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Onecosmic and team, you guys are awesome.

I, for one, could never put up with this amount of bickering and whining on a release, let alone the same questions day in and day out from users who still don't know where the search button is, even though they can flash their phones all day. (I'm not calling anyone out by name, but if you're offended by my words, then you are most likely one of those people.)

You guys do this for the fun of it, don't ask anything in return, and continue to improve on this port that isn't even meant for our phones. The majority of us thought we would never see ICS, let alone this fast and this stable.

From one chef to another (and/or others), keep your head(s) up, and keep up the great work!!

Oh, you mentioned earlier you're on an i9003 I believe. If you want someone to test things for you on the Vibrant side of the house, feel free to PM me, I would be glad to help you where I can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maranevim:

New to this ROM (came from hacksung) and didn't see this in the OP, but my camera takes pictures upside down if I hold it with the 'Home' button on the phone on the right hand side. If I flip the phone and have the 'Home' button to my left, the pictures are fine. Just found it weird that the phone needs to be turned that way. Anyone else experience this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sideeffects:

Bug Report:

Touchscreen seems overactive when charging. Off charger it just rules :D

Thing i noticed:

I miss the feature of linking a contact tot a certain number in the dial screen. (Like 1 is linked to Voicemail)

Is this left out in ICS? Anyway, is it possible to integrate this?

A question:

I know google is the cause that the phone always turns on when charging.

But would it be possible to change this?

I mean, it does take the phone longer to charge this way

Hi Paul,

Yes, it is indeed very good, I had actually reverted back to 3.1 due 4.2 performance issue, but now with Devil Kernel 4.2 is working fine.

One issue, I am still facing is while shooting videos the effects do not work. Some times it does not even records video when effects are on. I have to force close the Camera and restart it again to make it work again properly.

Any Idea what could be the issue.

And I am sure, this was the issue with stock kernel also, nothing to do with Devil's Kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Weetbix:
Reflash the same rom you were on (JVU RE base edition?) via odin/heimdall, then restore from recovery using the same version of cwm that made the backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vijai2011:
Currently I'm doing that only.Asked because I thought there maybe a easier method.BTW i'm from India and When I flash this,there is no network at all.I even tried selecting it manually.But of no use.Any fix for this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dom89:
For battery life:

Use 3G only when really needed otherwise disable it.

I found Smartassv2 governor was the less draining battery. But you can try other governors.

It has been shown that camera process still running after a reboot.

So first thing to do is :

unlock screen with camera unlock and then close camera with home button.

After 17h I still have 74% battery after few calls of 3-4 mm and 30mn playing holdem poker.

SOLVED: Troubles with market

As I said before, there are a couple of applications that were not shown in the market.

Well, I've applied this solution:

- change ro.build.id

- ro.product.manufacturer

- ro.build.fingerprint

- delete market data (from app admin)

- wipe dalvik

Original values:

ro.build.id=IML74K

ro.product.manufacturer=unknown

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:4.0.3/IML74K/eng.onecosmic.20120204.223407:user/test-keys

Changed to:

ro.build.id=I9000

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.2/ICL53F/235179:user/release-keys

I've found those values from Dark Knigkt 2.1. Thanks!!!

hey guys,

i decided now to leave ICS on my device, because i really like onecosmics rom. To only problem i got is the GPS. It took sooo long on Gingerbread until one person ( Lukiqq ) fixed it with porting a nexus GPS driver. I got really great results with it, no with ICS i got a really really bad signal, even with GPS.conf files, XTRA Data download and other market fixes. Nothing helped.

So, my question is : Is it possible to port the latest Nexus S GPS driver into our Rom to improve the GPS signal dramaticaly ? This was the only thing , that ever get GPS to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yodanutz01:
stock kernel :) i feel the phone so fast like never before. i flashed lots of ICS Roms,including RC4.2 many times,but now it feels better than ever. maybe because i switched to MIUI Gingerbread and then flashed it again :)

everything is working wonderfull. GPS locks in couple of seconds,no app crash,perfect :)
