[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
You could try booting into download mode, and then using odin to flash a new rom, but you could lose all your data unless you have backed it up.

Also you could connect your phone to your computer and access the file system through their, try and free upsome space, remove what ever you tried to download.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitzah:
I'm going to try that as well, but where I am right now I don't have a good usb cable (just one that charges and nothing else). Is there something else I could try in the absence of a USB cable?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
Not without having your phone fully running

You should try flashing a new Kernel first, one that will give you access to Clockworkmod
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitzah:
Damn. :( Ok, thanks for your quick responses! I'll be back in a few days, I guess.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitzah:
Ok so I've gotten my hands on a data cable, but I can't even enter download mode and nothing happens when I plug the cable in. The phone is completely unresponsive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Does the phone boot at all ?

If not & you can't get into download mode, your last (faint) hope before returning it to your carrier/Samsung would be a jig. Probably won't work, but worth a try for a few bucks. Actually, there's a thread on here where people have offered their jigs for other people to use.

Check that thread & see if there's someone near you on the list. Might save you a week or so waiting for a jig to arrive, that way if the jig doesn't work you can send it in for repair/replacement sooner rather than later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitzah:
Unfortunately there's no one near my location. I think I'll take the phone to a service since I'll probably have my waranty void if I take it to my carrier. I haven't installed a custom ROM, but I did root it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasra:
I've tried my share of roms for Galaxy S (currently at JVU 2.36 with Semaphore 2.5.0bm) and with various FS conversions (currently EXT4 on most partitions, except system).

However, all of them so far completely choke on one point:

Heavy multitasking with parallel downloads and media playback .

Let me give some examples:

- Downloading / installing updates via Market while listening to music => playback becomes choppy

- Downloading episodes and listening to them in Dogg Catcher (podcast app) => choppy playback

- Listening to audiobooks in Osplay (speed-up player) and surfing at the same time => choppy playback

This is regardless of where the apps & music are stored and which partition / memory type they use for their own caching.

Thus, I'm really to chug my Galaxy S even as a secondary playback device, although otherwise it performs wonderfully.

As a last ditch effort, I'm soliciting comments based on experience for a heavy multi-tasking capable ROM that doesn't choke on playback easily.

Is there such?

I'm not really interested in "try MIUI - its da bomb" or generic "CM is killah" comments. Only if you've tried the above usage scenarios and your ROM doesn't choke, would I like to hear a recommendation. I've already tried too many "this ROM is the best" variants to count :)

Or is Galaxy S just so memory channel and or raw filesystem limited that it just cannot be made smooth?

BTW, I wrote heavy, although the multitasking isn't even very heavy. My old Symbian and WinMo phones with 1/2 the CPU speed in hardware could do these things simultaneously, without the audio becoming st-st-st-stut-stutter...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaesterB:
I think you might be limited just strictly by the SGS.

Stock, Darky, or even now ICSSGS...I notice that once I have too much going on it can chug and I'm force to go to the task manager and be the harbinger of app death.

I will be streaming music from google music, through 3G, while trying to browse the web or play a game...and it chugs. Even the market can be slow.

I think if you're looking for something that can do more, you might be looking at a newer phone mang.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasra:
Thanks.

Galaxy S is not my main phone, but a media player (podcasts and such).

However, the fact that it cannot even perform this function without stutter and choppy audio, is a bit of a disappointment, especially when the audio out is of so high quality with the Voodoo Control installed and active.

I know it's not a CPU issue as the demand from mp3 playback is miniscule for the SoC.

It has to be a memory bottleneck either towards the main memory (RAM) or into the storage space (various flash volumes).

Now, whether this bottleneck is at driver/kernel or at hardware level, if not known to me.

That's why I'm trying to find, if anybody has found out a ROM that gets around these issues.

BTW, as comparison I was talking to a friend how has a year older HTC and no issues with audio playback under similar conditions, even with older Android releases.

As such, I'm still keeping hope alive that perhaps there is a good ROM out there that perhaps with an optimal combo of filesystems, delivers smooth audio performance under most multi-tasking conditions.

For now I'll try some tweaks on Semaphore using governor/scheduler/read-ahead settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] inozako:
Well, SGS is quite a few years ago phone for now, 1ghz with 512mb ram, definitely there will be some sort of lag no matter what rom you are using, but one thing for sure is that ICS are much more smoother and faster due to lighter and much more optimize rom..So go on n flash TeamICSSGS rom. I'm using it now and I will not go back to the past rom i have used(DARKY,STOCK,CM)..Hope it helps=D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasra:
It is in fact for most of the world 1.5 years old.

Also, just because it's old, it's HW hasn't gotten any slower.

1Ghz / 512 MB RAM is plenty enough to run a web server, not to mention a simultaneous mp3 decoding and a single file download.

It is a memory bottleneck, so I'm still soliciting comments from people who have actually tested differences between RAM or raw FS/flash access speeds across various ROMSs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shtonibudtakoe:
Opinion based on my own experience

After reading your post, I tried to do the same on my SGS.

During flac playback I successfully used android browser.

I also tried Google Listen (podcast) with browsing... with same results.

My configuration:

CM7

TK-Glitch Kernel V13.1

CPU OverClocked to 1300 MHz, little bit UnderVolted, I/O Shedeuler: noop, SmartAssV2 governor
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
go and flash any AOSP based rom, like AOKP port (by bhuvan) or Codename Android port (by daxinfinity).

link for CNA port is in my sig. don't forget to hit the thanks button if i somehow helped you. take care
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dragostis:
You can try Gamerz rom which is pretty good for multitaking. I hate the choppiness of music when on load, but I'm pretty satisfied with CM9 alpha for me, but gamerz rom is a pretty good rom for this scenario.

[Epic 4G Apps] DeeODoubleD:
Ok so I realize facebook won't sync with ICS so I get Haxsync that was recommended and its ok. However, I don't like this People app that ICS uses compared to the old simple Contacts. When I need to manually merge contacts I used to longpress and choose join contacts and now I cant . But I've seen posts where people say they manually join them, so there must be another way I'm not seeing. Menu options don't bring up merge or join either.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Epic 4G Apps] kobby2k6:
it is a bit annoying managing contacts in ics...i haven't figured how to automatically join contacts but I have been able to do it manually...for example...let's say your friend's name is "Michael B. Jordan" in facebook and simply "Michael Jordan" in your normal contacts...you have to change the name to "Michael B. Jordan" in contacts facebook and press "space" after the name change..you should see the "facebook name" be suggested right under the contact being edit..click it and it should say "join"..it is pretty annoying way to join contacts (maybe there is a better way, I don't know)...

it took almost an hour to properly sync my 70 contacts and their pictures with haxsync...sorry for the horrrible grammar and I hope it helped..
[Epic 4G Apps] Speedin07si:
Annoying it may be... But open "people" Menu> edit> menu> join. Then either pick a suggested person or scroll down to find the right person.

[Epic 4G Apps] big_bake:
Just made an already tedious process even longer. Damn girls and their stupid fb names. That's the only crappy part of wiping during ROM changes for me. Apps, data, ringtones, wallpapers, etc are all easy but damn having to manually rejoin contacts. Now even worse that's it's not native in ICS.
[Epic 4G Apps] klownin816:
I'm at the point now where I think I'm just going to manually assign pictures to my contacts. Maybe download them from facebook assign them thru my contacts in google. This way the pix will stick from now on. Anytime I flash a rom, I won't need to go thru this tedious process any longer. I've given up lol.
[Epic 4G Apps] KennyG123:
If you export your joined contacts to your sd card don't they come back joined when you import them?
[Epic 4G Apps] DeeODoubleD:
This works, I knew it was there somewhere, thanks! For anyone else reading this. You have to click on the contact first, then menu, then edit, then the menu button again, then join. Ugh! lol
[Epic 4G Apps] big_bake:
You know I think this would make sense, but I just tried an import and the only option is to import a single vCard file from bluetooth or email.

This used to work out nicely in the 2.x.x days. You sync your google contacts and then facebook contacts. Join a few that the names don't match (ie John Doe and John D). Now with ICS, it won't even try to join John Doe with John D. Doe or Johnathan Doe, even though they are the same person.

The other thing is that haxsync only does photos. I have friends that I don't have saved in my google contacts because their info is on their facebook. Guess I could go through them and manually save a duplicate contact and number to my google contacts, but that's something I didn't have to do in the past. Taking steps backward is not what integration is about.
[Epic 4G Apps] Speedin07si:
Then switch to Friendscaster or Friendscaster Pro.

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Apps] xtrezpasor:
Anyone know of a similar program that will work for syncing twitter?
[Epic 4G Apps] big_bake:
Well I got friendcaster then used it to sync and it copied over with crappy low res pictures, so that pissed me off. The haxsync ones looked decent at least. I'll be fine for now until there is stock integration built into to CM9. I know the OTA ICS guys have figured it out.
[Epic 4G Apps] jamesrt:
Haxsync does have an option "Additional friends to sync" under "Sync Preferences" - the help text says "These friends will be synced even if they don't match any contacts on your phone". Does this do what you want?
[Epic 4G Apps] Vizzo:
I think he means their contact info from facebook. The main app syncs not only a contacts photo, but any contact info they have on their profile.
[Epic 4G Apps] Ceelos09:
For those who have multiple accounts and want to join them in a few easy steps:

Log into you Gmail account and go under Contacts.

Right above your contacts list, right in the middle, there is a button you click and have some settings come down. One of them is a "join multiple contacts". Hit it and it will automatically join all of them together. A lot easier if u have LOTS of multiple contacts and dnt want to merge them manually :)
[Epic 4G Apps] eezdva:
I would love to have it sync the phone numbers . Like the FB app does.
[Epic 4G Apps] man4714:
haxsync is not showing my entire friend list from facebook :(

what is to be done??
[Epic 4G Apps] Crin:
In the options their is a setting which by default only syncs people already in your contacts. You can change it sync all your friends from facebook.

Also to some of the people earlier in this thread, the latest version of Haxsync lets you write HTC tags to the notes section of your contacts so at least you won't have to do it all again manually when you change roms :)

you should be fine without it...as long as you have ubuntu 64bit (Oneric).

If you get any build errors (like I did), let me know because there is a fix for it...:)

Also, please try out the HAL camera as I said in my first post before you compile the rom.

THanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] matrox02:
Hi there guys, Great to see that work is still being done on such an old phone, though its old, im stuck with it so a fresh look can be nice once in a while :P , Ill be keeping a keen eye on the updates , i tried the rom for myself and am impressed, not too far away from making this a RC imo, oh and, if anyone is keen, is anyone able to look into making the earpiece volume for incalls a little louder? I wasnt able to test it myself because no calls were going through, only texts , but if its anything like the original htc sence rims or the CM6-7.x 's they are a tad quiet and would do with some modding :) anyways thats just my 2 cents, Happy Modding!

Oh and i tried the camera "patch" I think, it didnt seam to fix it for me, though all i did is unpacked the files placed the renamed fixed camera .SO file into the correct location, then repacked the lot before flashing, I dont know if i was supposed to delete the other camera file that was there??

Sorry it's taken me so long guys, got sick and basically haven't done anything until today.

EDIT:

Nevermind, ran it again and it's taking much longer this time. Something must've stopped it the first time. I'll keep you guys updated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
I ain't a genius, but it's complaining about the processor. The Aria is an ARMv6 device. Make sure everything is set up for ARMv6 and not ARMv7, which is the default processor for ICS.

You can bet on this thread exploding once egl issues are ironed out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Man, this has been quite the process. Been learning a lot though!

Finally figured out a couple things:

-I forgot that I had an early ICS build running on my phone at the time, and it apparently didn't have the Adrino driver in it (or something, maybe someone can help solidify this finding for me). Switched to a stable CM7 build and things went much better during the ./extract-files script.

-For whatever reason, I didn't have the ncurses-dev package, so that caused the "Error 1" at the end of the build.

Running the build as we speak. I'll post it as soon as it's done, assuming all goes to plan!
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Alrighty, she's done.

First, my boot animation isn't showing, but that's not a big deal. I'll fix that next time I build. However, on my Aria, I'm getting a boot loop after it loads into the OS. Not sure if it's the camera fix, my phone, or just my build going wrong somewhere, but I'll post it up to see if you guys get the same results.
