Hi cowithgun!

is this rom compatible with cris555's ICS theme?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448394

if yes which version of it should i download?

thanks!

Hopefully this will be stable on my phone.

My non-OC score attached.

Thanks cow and team.

Dude, how did you get THAT kinda score?? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MAMUTHcz:
Is it somehow possible to add czech language to this rom manualy using root explorer maybe, or would i have to use completely different rom? Sorry for noob question, but i really want to use this rom with czech swype :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AdliHebat:
I dunno, it's default. I do swap my sdcard to original non-swap configuration.

Btw, I choose Smooth settings in Cowpanel and reboot.

After that the score dropped.

But I like the Smooth setting better, the fast settings feels staggering.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Performance on 1.8 GHz....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
You meant you get this score with original non-swap or vice versa? :confused:

Yeah the "Smooth" setting is more preferable! It's buttery-smooth and also fast. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Download this, extract twlauncher30.apk into your /system/app

You can get others default APK in the zip too.

Look like you select "smooth" setting :D How do you like the triple buffering?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Cow,

I forgot to mention this, when i flash your Bionic, the wallpaper for both homescreen and lockscreen are black, as i was using your Black previously. I want the Bionic's both wallpapers, is it possible? :(:(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Reboot to recovery....factory reset..wipe cache.n delvik....reboot...all apps will removed....ROM will be fresh as what V6 is supposed to be....My Bad Idea.....But It Works..!

Take this..............
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
If I select that triple do I need to reboot by hitting that icon or just continue using the device ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Need to press the button, it will ask you to reboot to take effect.

Thank you for your friend Cowithgun Rom. So far, the most speedy, stable, the most beautiful Rom;) I have a question, did you do with 5302 antutuscore setting which processor?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Awww Shucksss, isn't there any other way? Because i don't want the apps to be fully erased. :(

You're saying this Bionic has the V6 script pre-installed? :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
@almost everybody

Guys why are you so obsessed with the benchmarking score? If rom works for you and if it feels smooth and fast when using it, than why would you care if some benchmarking tool gives you lower score than someone else. I don't get it :D. Don't harass cowithgun here because of your "stupid" antutu score, give a man a break! He provided a very good rom and that is all that matters.

@cowithgun

Nice job bro :)! One question though. What files would I need to use for those memory tweeks to port them into my rom, beside kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Agree with you qzem..

After i check, CWG using 100mb zram

He put in init.qcom.post_boot.sh so it will running after the phone booting

Seems in there no I/O EXT4 script :(

Anyway i can add it my self

I didn't have phone yet to test

Great Job CWG ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
@Cowithgun the kernel is in the zip file called boot.img right?

I was looking at this buildconfig.mk file, googled and read through many forum posts (all over the internet), yet I can't still understand how to integrate Bionic Optimization into the rom manually. I'll just re-read the how-to's again later. Meanwhile, If anyone here knows how to do it, can you tell me the link/info about it :D

Extract

Hi,

In the first post there is this instruction:

2. Use 7zip, right click on xxxx.001, extract. It will create the zip file required for flashing.

but if I click on extract 7z I create a folder not a zip.

A suggestion?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ertank07:
I wonder what we can do to save battery power CPU settings rn good? could you help?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
use setCPU and create a screen off profile to underclock the CPU, I used 368-1017 MHz personally, great boost if you don't use your Phone that much :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Go to folder

Select all

Make a zip file

Buddies now??

I used the OC version !!

but came with the "Buddies now" widget problem frquently..

FC a lot !!

can anyone help?? other user do not have this problem??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] minatovladoski:
Same problem, uninstall buddies now...

No problem after uninstall
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] samuelcdh:
great thanks for your prompt response!!

but in addition..

may I ask from you that how to uninstall "buddies now" probably!!??

it is a system apk .. there is no option to uninstall!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pinkyunki:
use root explorer.

delete it inside system/app

otherwise use titanium backup or root uninstaller to uninstall system app
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] samuelcdh:
great!! thanks a lot!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] minatovladoski:
As pinkyunki said, use root explorer...i use titanium, much easier, it does the search...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Tried installing but sayin file is corrupted. Oc version. Will try downloading again...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
That widget is not supposed to be there...just removed it...plus do you guys noticed that MusicHub on startup..Malaysia not supported...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pinkyunki:
i think, it might have been taken from a non-deodexed rom.

the apk is partially there. another half is missing, so it gave u FC.

Ask around if anyone got a fresh, buddies now.apk for deodexed rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
More Locale 2 doesn't download anything, and it definitely can't translate the whole ROM on its own.

I searched around and there's a way to manually put a new localization in the ROM, but it's incredibly boring since you have to decompile and recompile all System apps one by one after adding the localization you need.

If anyone knows a better way, let me know it!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
jajanan...do you reslly have to re-quote the original post....:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
guys,

thanks for lots of feedback! i m going thru it slowly because i m out of town.

i took a slightly different approach in this ROM. i basically rebuilt it from I8150DXLA2 from scratch. due to high number of people complaining about FC, etc in my previous ROM, i decided to keep as many APK as possible. these APK will not start by default. so, should not occupied our precious RAM. but you should remove them from /system/app if you dont use it. i had to removed twlauncher, email, socilahub, etc because will start automatically. You can get these back, as well as the default theme from this link.

if you flash only the kernel, you will not be able to get the same performance of Bionic Cow ROM because the i recompiled part of the ROM to take advantage of the Scorpion Optimization.

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] trich025:
i also remove some other things listed

AnalogClock,Dlna,DrmProvider,DrmUA,Email,EmailWidg et,GameHub,Maps,MiniDiary,Memo,MusicHub,Phonesky,P hotoRetouch,SamsungApp,

because when i install your rom some of the apps listed here are in my device that's why i removed it, is it still ok? or atleast you can tell me what should or shouldn't be removed on this things, and one more thing i noticed whenever i click the task manager and hit the clear memory when i press back i am redirected to "phone" and cannot even press back again to exit to that application i need to press home is that a bug?

well anyway the rom still runs smooth on my phone so thx COW for the "WONDER"full rom :D:D

Hey CWG!

I'm trying to put your kernel into an EUR rom (XXKL4).

With dsixda Kitchen, I extract the kernel from your ROM and the boot.img from the EUR rom.

Then I get a MY_KERNEL folder, with your zImage file and a sytem folder with some subfloders and files, and a BOOT_EXTRACTED folder, with zImage file and another folder with many subfolders and files.

Do I need to copy all the content of your extracted kernel to the extracted one (in the respective folders of course, like I copy replace zImage, then what is in system/app to system/app etc) and then repack or do I need to do something more complicated?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] minatovladoski:
little feedback here,

battery consumption: better than v5, run for 10 hours and still 80% juice left.

just notice this, music.apk FC for no reason. maybe just me.

max number of antutu just 4800 at 1.8ghz but no problem, as long this rom stable yet powerful, i don't mind with antutu score.

no problem with dpi change

thanks for this ROM

Turn on Vsync and triple buffering fix the problem on my device
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] souwatt:
First of all thanks so much for this nice ROM ;).

Below are my ROM (non-OC) experiences:

Before installing Cow ROM v6, I wiped everything, formatted USB and external SD card. Then I installed the ROM from scratch.

I did not restore anything via TB. So I did not have any problem except "Buddies Now" force close. I solved that issue by freezing the app via TB. I also froze some other apps like AllShare, Accuweather, Game Hub, Music Hub, Kies Air, Samsung Apps, SNS etc.

Therefore up to now (~1 day overdue) it seems fast and stable, battery drainage is not bad.

By the way I need help on the following issues :confused::

1. I want to use SetCPU but i'm not sure which governor (ondemandx, ondemand, smartassV2 etc.) to use for general usage (not for a specific profile) ?

2. I'm also trying to make some SetCPU profiles for better battery usage but I'm not sure which governor to choose for specified profiles. By the way I could not see the previous governors "powersave, conservative etc." in 2.2.4 version. So here are my profiles with default scaling:

Temp > 40 Degrees C > 368 max-245 min > priority 100 > scaling "ondemandX"

12:00 am-6:00 am > 368 max-245 min > priority 90 > scaling "ondemandX"

Screen Off > 368 max-245 min > priority 80 > scaling "ondemandX"

Charging > 1024 max-245 min > priority 70 > scaling "ondemandX"

Are these settings OK:rolleyes:? can you recommend different scaling options specifically for above profiles?

3. Should I apply V6 Supercharger script on this ROM? does it make noticeable effect on performance?

I know I have too much questions to be answered:D but I'll be glad if you can help me.

Thanks in advance...

Because although I placed required animation files to the required folders it did not worked which was working with other ROM before .:rolleyes:

1- dload

http://www.box.com/s/31qjusb0aisp12yejen0

extract, replace in system/bin

2- dload any 480x800 pix bootanimation, rename to sanim.zip

add inside system/media

3- edit build.prop in /system

add # in front of the line so it become # debug.sf.nobootanimation = 1

Still getting use to the zeam launcher dont really like it but ill get use to it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
I don't see the reason why SuperCharger is installed by you guys here when the ROM is already optimised......A lesson learnt :)

Scorpion Bionic Optimization is the same one in used in CM9.....

Why re-optimised again ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
After seeing how arco68 uses this technique in ICS and gain significant improvement in performance I started to look into what he did:

https://github.com/arco

Basically, it involve recompiling code that will uses the NEON instructions:

http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/neon.php

Our SGW is actually a very advance Cortex-A9 CPU that support that technology. All credit should go to arco68...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Yes, you can extract the zImage that way. But I recommend you to simply use the boot.img since I made some changes in init.rc as well (as I remember it).

The kernel itself has been recompiled with triple buffering that will help speed up graphical operation. If you intend to port this to EUR ROM, should look at the build.prop as well since it contains property to use the triple buffering.

You also should copy all /system/lib/*.so to your ROM because some of the library here has been recompiled with scorpion optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
In my non-scientific testing, OnDemandX seem to give me more battery juice:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22261406&postcount=312

If you are using OnDemandX, you dont really need to use SetCPU profile because it comes with Early Suspend API that will automatically switch to low freq after screen off, etc.

About the temperature setting, I guess there is no harm? :D

This ROM already has optimized low memory killer which I think it's the best for stability / performance. If you wish to change that (say you want it to be more aggressive, etc), you can use V6 Supercharger.
