I'm considering switching to this ROM from ICSSGS 4.2. What advantages does this have over that? What's the battery life like?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Flash it and you'll get the answer.

Battery life? It depends on you.

Sent from IMM76I.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HiKsFiles:
Made that exact same switch yesterday and here's what I found so far...

1) Slim = 4.0.4 / ICSSGS 4.2 = 4.0.3 ... no big deal, but still

2) Less services running in the background meaning more memory available

3) Configurable toggles in the status bar

4) Configurable lock screen options

5) Adjustable gamma setting via Galaxy S app ... those settings aren't available in ICSSGS 4.2

6) DSP Manager in Slim vs Voodoo Sound in ICSSGS

7) working auto-brightness out of the box in Slim

8) OTA upgrades and ability to do so without a complete wipe.

Overall, I find it's a better experience.

Only time will tell if I truly like better but, right now, I do not regret the switch.

Oh, almost forgot... the biggest advantage of them all : continued support for Slim.

We must be gratefull to OneCosmic for being the first to bring ICS to our SGS, but even though they say it is still in development, I doubt there will ever be a RC5.

i installed the semaphore kernel 1.1.1sbm and also the devil 2 bm kernel but after tht video recording with the back camera isnt working.. what is the problem?? any solution???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
... you are on either semaphore sbm and/or Devil BM and don't have video recording? I would assume the app is set up for 720 recording and BM kernels kill 720 recoding...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ionutzvio:
i solved my problem. wipe data factory reset, cache partition and davlik cache, installed 3.5 clean and restoring with TB all apps.

i belive my problem was that i upgraded from 2.8 to 2.9 until 3.5 and change kernels between. i never did a clean install from 2.8 maybe that it was who knows ;) tnx for replying

krarvind's work on ICS

@krarvind

I really like the way, you release updates, not of this 4.4.4.3.2 with beta add-ons The updates are Small and refined. But really, so far, bugs are well, worked out and really, I rarely see any problems that are caused by the stock rom, and those are noted and fixed promptly. Having one Dev (with help) is sometimes better, too many Android geeks trying to cook the same rom on the same stove, you'll almost certainly will burn something. LOL :D

I guess all that to say, stable, frequent updates but with working refined fixes.

I take my hat off to you Krarvind !

greets.

Hmmm ... how good is your battery life with stock kernel? After 18 hours I have 10% left (conservative governor)... under the same conditions with semaphore I get more than double battery life, about 36 hours +-3 hours (smart ass v2) ... that's strange
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Screenshot or gtfo. I can never get past 24h no matter what kernel or settings I use. Now obviously if my phone is just sitting there, then I can get over 24H no problem, but if I add in a bit of texting and stuff.... Good luck to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Have two strange bugs in 3.5. Lockscreen is not working at all and home button in nav bar does not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
I will upload or send a pm to you after flashing semaphore and using it :D ... did you wiped battery stats?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mnazim:
Use stock - conservstive - SIO ...

After two to three battery cycles the life improves to over two days for me on medium usage...!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eths83600:
all those battery stats posts are useless .

I always have 10hours when using my cellphone like a smartphone.

And 2 days when using it like a Nokia 3210.

No matter what kernel/governor/scheduler I use.

Don't expect an amazing battery life if you let your screen on/brightness Max/3g on. All the time.

And its useless to tell us that you have 3weeks of battery, because when we look at the stats we realize that everything is turned Off with 10minutes of screen on.

Using a 'smart'phone won't make you smart, but you can try to be.

Every users got different needs don't be jealous of one's battery life because you probably don't have the same use

You need to press the home screen to open the louncher aplication again . If louncher aplication will be excluded from this back key action will be awesome.

i only have one bug, when i call someone, the phone app doesn't respond, and i cannot hang up, the screen with that option comes after the person i call to hangs up... it is very annoying...

does anyone know how to fix this? is this a common problem? i've already read the faq..

Sorry if this was discussed already, but I wasn't able to find an answer: is it possible to switch USB connection mode in Slim (e.g. MTP etc.)? Or just disable data connection when USB is plugged to recharge phone? Fastcharge mode is not an option for me as it's not supported by Semaphore kernel. I don't need to charge faster, I just want to avoid connecting my phone to an insecure PC when I just need it as a power source...

some days back I read that someone installed I9000 patch on fascinate and it was working without the need to reverse back and home key so I thought of flashing I9000 patch on my captivate and I found that

*menu was working like menu,

*back key was working like home key,

*home key was working like back key,

*didn't try search because I was testing it in recovery

so I can say that I9000 patch can work on fascinate without the need to reverse any key

but don't think that now fascinate is supported device

wifi toggling

Redone, from clean stock. But every time I install, wifi keeps toggling on and off... Nothing of the kind was happening with 2.5, I think I will keep with that...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lxixl:
well...

Rom is good, allmost perfect in my opinion i just personally miss long press back button to kill an app in developer settings.. :P

wifi is working fine to me, b4 i tried this rom i installed stock JVU and i always use kernel cleaning script just in case for every update i do... i did not used any gaps apps except launcher2..

Rom is very stable to me and fast

WIFI is working better (faster responses) than on 2.3 CM based rom

me like AOKP toggles but i dont mind to have an option to add more stuff :P

TY krarvind for this most useful release (at least to me :P )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] diverblue:
Unfortunately I have to agree :(

2.5 was very smooth but 2.6 just feels more laboured when in use.

I'm also getting the wifi toggle issue, though not all the time. After inital flash the toggle worked fine then after a few reboots it has decided to toggle on and off.

How did you update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MagicOnline:
running as expected. nice and smooth.

before flashing do a clear dalvik cache.

i was on gingerbread 2.3.5 and did a factory reset before flashing slim 2.5. now with 2.6 only clear dalvik.

btw: wifi symbol in task bar looks strange after phone standby.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
not in 2.6. I am still debating between 2.6 style and 2.5 style. I need volunteers to provide input.

Do a factory reset, flash 2.5, boot up, load your apps, try how smooth scrolling, opening apps etc is.

Do a factory reset, flash 2.6, boot up, load your apps, try the same as above for 2.6 and report your findings.

Copying files from PC to phone crashes something

I've searched and can't find this issue reported from anyone else.

I'm copying multiple files from my PC to the external SD card in my phone, it works initially (there are several different copy pastes that completed successfully) but now I've got a copy paste that reached 90% and won't go any further.

I click cancel and Windows is unable to stop/undo the copy.

It's been sitting there for about 20 minutes trying to abort the copy.

The only way to get it to stop is to disconnect the phone, but that causes Windows to prompt me about an issue when I reconnect the phone, clicking resolve the issue then causes Windows to go and delete half the contents of the SD card.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 and I dragged a folder with approx 25MB to copy it to the external SD.

There's approx 8.5GB free space on the external SD.

This is the second time I've had the issue.

I'm not sure if it's caused by the phone or pc, but I never experienced this on ICSSGS.

USB debug was already unticked.

I don't know why this is all of a sudden happening (twice in the last week and half). I've never had this before on ICSSGS or the various GB roms I ran.

The worst thing about this is something crashes on the phone and I'm unable to connect it as USB storage until I reboot, and I can't reboot the phone either as it sits there with the rebooting message for as long as I leave it.

The only way to get the phone working again is to remove/replace the battery.
