You still judge the ROM performance based on antutu score

Actually benchmarking doesn't mean the ROM have good performance for overall

Black Notes Chapter 3 maybe just same point with antutu

Have you try with "Quadrant Advance" yet ? ;)

If you have 2 phone to testing you will know the performance differences ;)

That's the real benchmarking test for developer..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Ya, you are right. Good benchmarking doesn't mean good overall performance. I wish I could have two SGWs for testing, but I am poort :(

I would try Quadrant Advance later.

Btw, Black note rom is really good and stable that suits my usage after using for 2 days. Thanks a lot.:p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
I even don't have the phone yet bro :p

Those phone are my friends...

Wait for essential version is release ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smhybrid:
As my opinion in first page, for me, 2 days sint just enough to tell it is a test, maybe a week or 2 weeks is the best test

Proud to Ur friend, if I were them I don't want to risk about it.. but keep build it, maybe sometime I'll try Ur ROM

agree.. testing isnt enough just from benchmarking, need to be reality...

Im using cowgun right now, I'll try it for 2-3 weeks, then I'll try black notes, maybe I will post the result in another thread (if i may)

Well, yes it is, but Im just wanted to those 3 ROMs, too many roms just made me more confuse to choose it :D:(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Wow:) That means u are developing Custom Rom for friends. U are so nice ^^ keep on the good job.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Qzem's gingerice 2.1 rom is prob one of the best ive used. 3 days battery life for me thats using phone as normal. Plus qzem uses cow's kernal. Fast and smooth for me. Tried all of the other dev's roms and each has there strong points and weekness. Its all down to preference really try each rom and use it as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smhybrid:
Agree.. but unfortunately, I dont like to always factory reset.. Im tired to install all my app+games again.. thats why I ask this question..

but right now im using cowgun, so far its good... but it have minor bugs + major problem... it always restarting sometimes...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gyxter:
3 days? how is that possible?

I'm using the same rom with the latest xxlb4 base rom. I like it because of the way the memory is managed by cow's kernel plus the launcher and the framework combined. unlike other roms my games tend to lag in the long run but with this rom it doesn't.

The thing is I only get one day max battery life. That is from a few hours of internet, games and regular sms and calls.

I got some questions:

1. do you have apps in your phone?

2. what is the baseband of your phone?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
I switched to cow v6 rom now but still have qzems on load if i want to change back. Getting few more force closes on cows rom this last two days, never got any with qzems but cows is abit smoother and faster but i dont know cause antutu scores confuse me cause even though on paper cow's rom is faster but in antutu qzems rom scores better?? Cant expalin it. Antutu is random in my opinion.

To answer your questions though i have apps on the phone but not heavy ones. Like setcpu, Titanium Backup, Opera Mini and es file explorer. They are only the main apps i have the rest is games and the heaviest one being stickman golf..

I wouldnt be a heavy user on the phone so my 3 days could total an hour on the net. 2 hours on wifi and maybe 5-10phone calls not lasting more than 2 minutes and then an hour tops on games. And maybe about 50 sms.

Baseband was xxla2 im fairly sure whatever qzem used. Cause im on xxkl3 on cows rom

Plus i has setcpu set for 1401mhz to 368mhz on ondemandx setting. With screen off time at 1017mhz to 368mhz on ondemandx as well
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Switched back to qzems GI 2.1 as cow v6 started getting slower than a snails race and aload of apps started to force close and wifi errors. I didnt even install anything since i falshed it 3 days ago so dont know what happened.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Edea:
I tried every rom from the dev-thread and went back to rooted stock xxla2. On some the samsung keyboard don't work right, on others theres no german language and no samsung keyboard. Another one getting slower and slower or all is good but bad battery. And on my opinion the stock rom runs smooth and stable. I was surprised because my Galaxy S runs much faster and smoother with a custom rom, but here it isn't the same. But I will wait. Maybe in time there are more roms with better releases. But I will thanks the developer! It is hard work to make a rom and I have a great respect for their work!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] souwatt:
I'm totally agree with you ! I also tried custom ROMS...

I liked them all and mostly they are stable, some are more battery draining, some are faster... But unfortunately I had FC issues, massive lags, freezings after a period of time :(

So I'm planning to switch back stock firmware (rooted) till more stable ROMs are published...

By the way I thank to all developers and respect their hard work !

They offer us alternatives though Sammy does not anything for customers...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Edea:
I think the custom roms will getting much better in time. Our device exists only a few month and it lasts till the developers find out the best tweaks etc. I have the galaxy s since 1 year and it was fantastic to see how much better the development grow in this year. And I think its the same with our wonder!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smhybrid:
well.. i have tried many custom roms and stock roms and finally i choose bionic v2, i think it has longer battery life (really) and stable until now... i have used it for 3 weeks, and i love it..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
I'm happy with cm9.. the lack of camera does not bother me.. I never face random restart with cm9..

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thehaikal:
best of the best!!

i have using almost all the custom rom..for me if u want performance without OC u can try Black Note! (my first custom rom!)..cows' rom also great and stable..kezra also great!..arggh!!..i need to decide to vote!!hhehe..

currently using COws' rom (OC version)..antutu score 45++ :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mzwr23:
Cant wait for essential version bro. SEMANGAT!! Try buy our beloved new phone:p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nubik:
why only 3 roms?
[TG01 General] gawein182:
step1

1. shut down ur phone,then hold VOL+&VOL- and press power on button,u will see some options on screen with black background.press vol- to move untill u see "Factory Test Mode" then press Vol+.now u can press vol- then phone will reboot into FTM mode.

2.conect phone to PC install drivers

run QPST latest version 2.7.366.choose "Ports" tab,click on "Add New Port"

click "Software Download", then click "Restore" tab,make sure "ports" shows ur phone model,then choose "Allsp.qcn" that i uploaded,click on "Start" and wait till phone reboot auto,that all done!

But I have no driver XG01's FTB mode.

I want need this driver for Windows XP.
[TG01 General] wylly:
/google tr/

it works fine on my old computer XP 32 bit

If your phone is in FTM mode, the Hardware Wizard in Windows XP should find new hardware (generic WinMobile Diagnostics) and try to install it automatically.

Sometimes with the automatic option, it can not find drivers, you can choose the manual option and browse to the folder Common Downloader \ acer driver \ driver.Win32 \ XP

and there, it will install your drivers.

If you start QPST configuration, it will find your phone.

I hope I have answered your question

good luck
[TG01 General] gawein182:
Thanks!

Special thanks!
[TG01 General] Tozzy2:
I had the same problem too using Win XP SP3 but I just got the drivers from

flash tools\Common downloader\acer driver\Driver.Win32\XP

and it seemed to work :)

Hi guys m running fusion cm9 beta and want to increase the size of ram with the help of swap size I want to know how to partition my sdcard and want to create 2nd partition as swap partition and which app to use to set the swapiness without moving apps to external
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
You are going to be dissapointed. Not possible...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
It is possible I have done it on my galaxy mini about 2 months ago and every Linux devices ram can be increased
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeowulfShaeffer:
Increasing your swap space on any operating system does not increase your RAM. The OS might be able to start more processes, etc., but your RAM size remains the same.

The RAM in the Captivate is just that--RAM. Its size is fixed. All of your other solid-state memory is not RAM--it is behaving as file system storage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
well how did you do it for the galaxy mini? I can't see there being a big difference in how something like that would be done from one phone to another.

Also, are you sure that there was an improvement in how the galaxy mini performs?

I ask because google specifically designed android to not have a swap partition nor to use one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
after creating swap partition the system thinks swap partition as ram and uses it for some background and foreground tasks it works great on mini

but the problem is I don't know how to partition sdcard through windows. before that I can partition through cwm recovery but in this mobile there are 2 SD cards so am fearing of partitioning internal one
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You can probably google it. To do it, I'm pretty sure you use command prompt in windows

Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I don't see that actually improving your experience. Android manages the ram pretty efficiently since GB (even better on ICS). As Danarki said google design it without swap partition. The method used on your galaxy mini should work (mostly) for our i897. If it was a .zip file open it up and look at the code see what it did exactly. Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
its not a zip file its a second partition of our sdcard and I want to know how to partition my external sdcard
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
I used Swapper from the Market when I tried your approach. The way I used my Cappy on stock GB the benefits seemed to fade over time.

I switched to SD Boost & SD Tools both before and after flashing Doc's Master ICS. Conclusion: speeding up disk i/o had a much more noticeable effect (especially on ICS) than RAM tweaking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
If the kernel supports it...

Open android terminal emulator and cd to /etc... run

$ cat fstab

(it might be a variation of fstab... its vold.fstab on my transformer)

This will give you you sd card device name... i think it is referred to as 'emmc' rather than sdcard... sdcard is the internal memory... idk why they insist on this.. it's just confusing.. in short locate emmc not sdcard!

Run

$ fdisk

Delete the partitions and create 2 new ones... you'll need to change the type of the first partition to swap and the 2nd to Linux..then write the changes to the disk.

Run

$ mkswap

Then run

$ swapon /dev/emmc0 (not literal... device is probably different but it needs to be the first partition..which is 0)

Then for the rest of the card run

$mkfs.ext4 /dev/emmc1 (again not literal)

(or mkfs.vfat)

The kernel must support swap before swapon will work. I'd make absolutely sure that the external sd card is emmc... it is on mine but this might be different between roms... also, a higher class SD would make swap faster.

I don't see how trying swap could hurt anything....other than potentially deleting the wrong partitions. That's part of the beauty of Linux... messing with it to see what you can do. It's one of the reasons i love android.. i wish more of these android newbs would realize this and encourage poking around with the coolest part of android and give the information that was requested rather than reasons why its dumb or impossible. Nothing is impossible or dumb except the ones discouraging you.

If you want to hack around on your devices... do it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
thanks man will surely do it in future after backing up my data and you are right it's emmc but it's mount point is /mnt/emmc will it be a prob

[HTC Rezound] Lazy8:
I just traded up to the rez from my dinc that I held onto all this time. So far I am loving the rez but have run into a few issues.

I use an app called voxer all the time on the dinc. On the rez I am getting complaints that my voice is muffled and playing back audio I can tell it is severely muffled. From my troubleshooting I am thinking that the app is using the noise cancelling mic for main recordings instead of the main mic because when the in call volume is reduced, the recorded mic volume is reduced as well.

If this isn't the issue then I might just have a bad mic but using other apps such as skype, in calls, and google voice all work normally and sound recordings are normal volume.

Anyone use voxer? or willing to try it out and see if they get the same problem I mentioned?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Yes there would appear to be a problem with the app. Using the mic and even a BT headset doesn't seem to work properly. I'm not convinced that it is using the BT mic when I tried it though.

I posted a support issue on their site.

I have not used this app in the past.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
also make sure that you have disabled the privacy mode under calls. Its on by default. Helps with muffled voice.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i use voxer too, and i just talk right into the bottom of the phone, and it works fine..

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

what does voice privacy do, btw?
[HTC Rezound] Lazy8:
I tried the voice privacy setting disabled...no difference.

Voxer works, just not loud enough to be usable.

Jay, is your voice volume the same as it would be for skype, google voice, voice recordings? etc?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
I think it is.. it sounds it.. i literally talk right into the bottom of the phone tho...

anyone else noticed it always turns the ir sensor on???
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
What ir sensor?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
above the verizon v, under the ear piece.. make a call.. look closely there's a red light on.. that ir sensor determines when to shut off the a teen when your face is near it. It activates with voxer.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Oh you mean the proximity sensor (happens to be done with IR).

That is turned on by the API for any app that is used for calling where you could put your face up to the screen. The proximity sensor senses that you face is there and blanks the screen to prevent your face from activating buttons.

When you end the call, the sensor turns off. Voxer appears to have it on all the time which is kind of strange as i suspect most don't use it close to their face and you have to push the button to talk which is not likely to be close to your face either.

Most likely a bug, and I suspect it does use more power to have it turned on.

One thing I don't like about Voxer and Skype and some of the others is that I many times simply want them off. They don't seem to provide a way of doing that (that I've seen). I rarely use Skype as a result, I freeze it and unfreeze it in the rare cases I actually need to use it.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yep, you're very right. now, with voxer, i literally have to put my mouth next to the bottom mic to be nice and loud...so if that's the bug you're all talkin about,t hen yeah i've got it too.

and heytell has the proximity sensor bug as well..it always stays on.

If you lay both doors beside each other you can see they are identical except for samsung made 5 or 6 of the feet twice as big on the U.S. version... also, the NFC antenna area on the U.S. version has an area that's raised and that had to be sanded too as it made the door not sit tight against the back.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vj_dustin:
so in short

AOSP - Basic Android Source Project (no Customizations) like Oxygen

AOKP - Improved versions of AOSP like CyanogenMod??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kokacrime:
and what's the difference between aosp roms and stock roms, besides e.g. preinstalled samsung apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtr_dhd:
aosp = android open source project

aokp = android open kang project (link https://sites.google.com/site/androidopenkangproject/)

It's not really about the Samsung/Sense apps more about the whole "layer" that i.e. Samsung/HTC put over the basic rom, (touchwiz and sense in the case of samsung/htc).

So if you'd take those layers/apps away you would just have the basis which is just AOSP.

This APK root method is currently based on the busybox exploit that rhcp0112345 found, so thanks to him. I currently do not have a donation link in the app for him, but I will add one if he sends me the link and anybody can jump over to his original post if they would like.

This is an interim step of this app as I have been trying to finish a more complicated root method, since this one is most likely to get patched shortly. Also, in future updates I will be adding an unroot method as well as possible rootkeeper type functionality and depending on feedback I may add a quick install for the unlock tool.

The steps are similar to the PC version except it only requires a button press to perform the step.

1.	Install this app (SparkyRoot)

2.	Click step 1, Exploit (will move the files around and replace the busybox file)

3.	Click step 2, Open up the ASUS App Backup tool and backup an app (you can use this one, its small)

4.	Return to this app and Click step 3 Install SuperUser (will install the SuperUser app)

5.	Click step 4, Cleanup (will cleanup all of the temporary files and revert the busybox file)

6.	Profit???

UPDATE: 3/3/2012 - v1.1 - enhancements

Added a button for opening the backup app.

Updated SuperUser app to the latest version (you would have gotten a market update anyway)

Added indicators for if the su binary is there and if it has the proper read/execute permissions

Added indicator for if the SuperUser app is installed

UPDATE: 3/5/2012 - v1.2 - minor update

Added donation link for rhcp0112345

Fixed issue where if you have never opened the app backup tool before the rooting would fail due to not accepting the terms of service

Added an unroot option (the current method requires superuser installed so that it can grant this app permission to unroot)
