No problem, didn't took it as an offense. Just wanted to explain some facts and why it can't be kernel related from my point of view. And also wanted to give some hints for improving GPS lock. BTW: are you connected to internet (WiFi or data connection) when you try to get a fix ?

Yes, that's the international version instead of a localized Dutch one. It's from Darky ROM by RJLM, he also posted it here on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13114192&postcount=125

More output to gps log with 5, none with 0. You can set it to 5 and look at log messages with a gps test tool.

Perhaps the driver is not properly initialized: got something like this once on an HTC WM6 phone, even reboot didn't help. Had to fiddle a lot with a gps test tool, soft reset and hard reset the gps hardware with different options.

Same to me, did only change some sdcard code in kernel ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] iLpirLa:
well.. I was outside so I tried with data connection enabled some times and then again with data connetion disablde.. but same result.. did not tried with wifi cos there werent open wifi networks where I was :(

I thought the same indeed.. as if the gps module didnt load correctly or didnt really enable itself..

I tried also using google maps and the odd thing is the Gps signal icon was blinking as usual but with no results (ok it showed me an approximated position with a range of some Kms..obtained from the cell network or throught the data connection I guess)

this hadnt really happened before.. and I use the gps quite often (more than twice a week), so I think I should have noticed this before..

Anyway thanks for your preciuos work and support :)

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
dude i agree so much. the time when u need it the GPS just dissappoint u. one time i got lost and i waited like 10 minutes still cant get a lock. other times when im just playing with it, it can lock my position in a few minutes..

oh and i guess AGPS help out a bit too.. otherwise it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 10

ok new gps update.. ill tried using another time "faster fix" from playstore as suggested by someone (I know it does same modification I did before in gps.conf file but u never know :D ) and nothing changed..still 0 satellites

so I tried to recalibrate the sensor ... and nothing changed neither..

then I gave up and flashed the new skyhigh update (1.4d) , and surprise : gps now is working properly (even if the gps.conf file contains the international settings ) ..dont ask me why .. it's crazy and nonsense I know ..

is possible that the problem was this:

NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.it.pool.ntp.org

.. I mean the combination of the row without the number with the rows with numbers 0 to 3 ? maybe they create some sort of conflict each other? because I noticed that now I have only

NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org

(yeah 2 identical row) and it works as usual...

thanks all

edit: also lookin at this site: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/it

they suggest to use only the 4 rows with the initial number..

oh .. Happy easter to everyone!

We had this topic about 300-times. Just because it has the same GPU and the same CPU-frequency, it isn't the same hardware ;) Furthermore this thread is dealing with his kernel, not CM-port.

To topic:

I still can't push files via APK-Manager. It says me that the file system is read only. Was there any solution and can I fix it by my own or should I send you something like a logcat? With FeaCore Phoenix everything works well.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
Pull out your boot.img.

Been using 1.4d for roughly 2 days, and I can confirm that there are no SD Card issues thus far.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
/system is always set to read only, look at the stock kernels. This is the Linux default mode and there are millions of good reasons not to compromise this safety feature. It is also astonishingly easy to remount system as read/write with Root Explorer or adb for example if you really need it now or then. There are only two reasons FOR mounting /system as read/write by default. One is lazyness and the other is you are a developer and you need the phone to be in full debug mode permanently. But in the latter case you know all of this anyway.

Anyway, against all recommendations you can change that like FeaCore Phoenix does it and chasemyass already exactly described how to do it.

But remember that this is a debugging option for developers only and can cause great harm to your phone why I won't integrate it in SkyHigh which is also used by many normal users.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] capillonpub:
Hi,

Exactly the same behavior for me! Was initially in stock rom & kernel with a fast gps fix. Flashed Skyhigh 1.4 and everything was fine (no SD issue) except gps fix that was verrry loong (sometime i gave up before having a fix!). I've installed "Faster Fix" from market, that gave me a fix after some time (not as quick as with stock kernel but at least i can have a fix waiting around 2 minutes). Then i've read your post and decide to flash skyhigh 1.4d : Bingo, now the fix is very fast, maybe faster than ever for me.

Hey skywalker,

Here is a tutorial which may help you:

Tutorial

thanks in advance :D

greetings fabsau
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
This tutorial is for the samsung s5p6442 hardware. Except for the display we don't have any samsung hardware at all, mostly qualcomm and some others, so it won't be of any use.

I actually wonder if arco68 got BLN to work on the i8150. Did anybody ask him already ?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fabsau:
Thanks for your reply...

Sorry for the wrong tutorial I thought it could help you maybe a little bit, but forget it...

But the most important do you want to give it a try? If not, do not make big thought about dissapointing someone, you are and will ever be a good dev for our phone...

I searched in the i8150 forum for "bln" and I found only posts like mines, so I guess there is no bln support for the 8150

Hi skywalker, in your kernel v1.4d you solved SD card problem but for me the battery life is not as good as 1.4 so can you check the changes you made try to fix it? Others also can compare it and see the difference in battery life and comment on it.

Thanks!

And since you seem to be the only one who still has this problem with V1.4d I'm not completely sure if this is still related to the kernel. Did you already try to reflash V1.4d for example ?

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
As you might have noticed in the changelog sleep mode was the problem that caused the sd card trouble on some phones. And sleep mode is directly related to battery life. So every change in sd card power management will bring back the instability issue, at least on the affected phones.

So you have to decide if you want the longest battery life which means shutting down WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G and so on and removing the sd card completely from your phone or if you want to use any of the features that all come for a price which is battery consumption ;)

And yes, most of our phones even work flawlessly with V1.4, but that's something I can't influence and I already explained it in post #190: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24247858&postcount=190

Or in other words: sorry, but I see no reasonable possibility to combine that for your specific device without introducing the sd card error again.

All others - ie. those who never had a sd card issue - can stick with V1.4 if the battery life is really significantly better (I can't agree on that for my phone) AND if they don't care to sacrifice stability and safety for performance and endurance.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] addisuw:
well this is all I wanted to know and it's also the most reasonable answer. There should be always a compromise between performance and battery life. We can't ask more of you skywalker than you did until now so anyone with a problem should take his/her own decision.

Thanks man!

Car Charger not works

Hi, the car charger is not working with SkyHigh (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432587).

Is it possible to solve this problem? I use i9001 for sygic and i need car charger connected for long travel.

Thanks, bye.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Xistance:
If I'm not wrong the car charger doesn't work in any custom kernel. So if you want to use a car charger then you need to stick to the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
concerning car dock issue

I have sent Skywalker different logs to analyse this problem. As soon as he finds the time he will work further on this issue. He has detected the causing factor, but at the moment there is no solution. The problem is well known and occurs with all! Non-Stock-kernels. So if you really need the charging cradle you should use a stock-kernel for this time.

Cheers

BTW: I'm also using sat nav but with an usual suction holder and a separate generic micro USB car charger like this one for example:

This works perfectly for me (with all kernels) ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Only the original cradle is affected

Thanks for this :)

The problem occurs only with the "original" samsung charging cradle no matter if it is designed for car or for home use. The phone recognizes the original car dock and chooses the car-modus which means that the display never switches off during the connection and it charges too ;). (and some more points) If you just want to charge unplug the charging cable from the cradle and put it directly on the phone ;) But you can't use the cradle with this work around :D

The sdcard tweaks are only active when you boot into android. CWM (recovery) uses its own kernel (FeaCore) and SkyHigh (or vitaly's kernel) are not loaded at all for recovery mode. So it is impossible that these matters are related. But manveru0 describes the problem on his FeaMod thread and also make a solution proposal. Did you already test that ?

BTW: are we talking about the internal or external sdcard ?

And which command did you actually use to mount either card ?

(The mounting points are different in CWM and android !)

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Maxtorete:
skywalker01 I'm using your kernel on BroodRom RC4 and I must say that you have made a fantastic job.

The only thing I noticed is that SmartassV2 is not very reliable in my phone. I have tried a 3D game to test it (Blood and Glory, is free) and it runs choppy after a few moments playing and then the phone reboot itself. Then I switched to Ondemand with No-frills CPU Control and it runs better and without reboots.

Could be a kernel problem?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
1. Just copy to init.d like described in first post.

2. all patches in this script (tcp, vm & sdcard) can be used safely and should not result in any issues

BUT

3. I don't know if they are actually useful, you can test that and give your feedback here

4. I didn't test any altered tcp settings and sticked with the stock settings for now as I never experienced any tcp speed problems; your findings would be interesting though and I can consider to offer verified improved tcp settings as an addon script

5. the two vm settings are significantly higher than mine. This actually bares a higher risk of data loss and is IMHO more a cheat especially for Quadrant which I don't recommend at all.

6. This is even worse with the read ahead caches of the sdcards. Adrenaline Shot is known to highly boost these values, which means it primarily cheats benchmark results but actually makes system performance WORSE. You can learn here more on that and why extreme boosting of read ahead caches is way beyond smartness:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032317

Look at your current values eg. with

adb shell "cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb"

and if you are running SkyHigh V1.4 you should see that they are set to 512KB which should be the best option here. The stock default value is 128KB, the attached script sets it to 3072KB which is just mad in my humble opinion.

BTW: this is the cache for the internal sdcard, the external sdcard cache is totally missing in your attached script:

adb shell "cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:32/read_ahead_kb"
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Well, not a kernel problem directly but maybe a governor problem. I am using smartassV2 since 3 months now without any problems and i never changed the settings. But I don't play 3D games. If somebody else can verify that would be nice to know. Did you test other games, maybe it is game related and Blood & Glory doesn't like the smartassV2 governor ? You have to know that ondemand governor is the stock default on most phones and as most developers are lazy the makers of B&G most probably tested their game only with ondemand gov.

But luckily this is all customisable in SkyHigh ;)

TCP tweaks aren`t messing with my internet connection, so I can say that are stable and quite fast too ... faster? dunno it`s been like over 3 months since I used stock ones :D

and abt readahead, well I asked some time ago abt higher values regarding readahead in crybernation and I haven`t got any response ... ty for that link, i knew it and read it couple of times some while ago.
