the ONLY reason i jumped to android bandwagon was cause of DEFY - the only RUGGED phone .... so there is no chance for me to jump to any other phone unless it can ACTUALLY replace the awesomeness of DEFY .. sure the bootloader problems are there , but hopes never die ... ;) ... but one thing for sure ( though personal opinion ) , a mobile , can never replace what a ' Computer ' can do .. and already have a good laptop , so will never buy a high end hanzy panzy mobile .. main duty of a mobile is to let the user be connected , that DEFY does easily and more ... soo ... M STIKIN WID IT .. ;D

With that new linux+android project u will only need ur phone! No need of pc...

Carry the phone and the dock... u only need to connect a display and u have freaking ubuntu plug the phone off the dock u get android! with Ubuntu u can pretty much do anything with the android system itself...

just pop the phone in pull framework theme it push it! everything on the go!

one disadvantage is the keyboard and mouse...

this will never come to defy coz lack of hdmi!

No, they were made to generate money. It goes like this: the company releases a virus/uses a backdoor in the system (obviously, it's done incognito), then the same company "suddenly" discovers the solution and puts on the market an antivirus or upgrades the existing one.

I like open source software :).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megapleb:
What are the benefits in daily use that you are seeing from ICS over GB?

I'm running my SGSII on GB and have a few minimal issues:

I have the calendar notification bug where following a notification, the calendar will regularly wake up the CPU, causing battery drain

Occasionally unresponsive home screen for a second or two

Audio volume from the handset isn't great

I think ICS may fix the first and last, but would guess the second is launcher related. From reading ROM threads, people on ICS are getting random reboots, smoothness is poorer than GB, battery life is generally a bit worse, there's been issues with SMS (blanks and duplicates). Overall, it seems like I'd be swapping some issues for others.

Overall, I find my phone a pleasure to use most of the time, so am not keen to mess with it, unlike my previous ZTE Blade which was poor out of the box, so I was always trying new custom ROMs.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
hey thanks a lot for this but we'd like it more if it was a CWM flashable zip as the odin one increases the custom counter and we all do not have the USB jig... Can you help us with that if it's not much of a problem ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Definitely, I will make one asap. So it will also flash superuser, su and voodoo sound @ once.

btw, I have already found a bug in voodoo sound. So I hope it can be patched in next build.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
You can create it on your own.

follow these steps.

1. Download ardatdat's 1.7 kernel zip.

2. Download the Ultimate Kernel for XW.

3. Now unpack ardatdat's zip and Ultimate Kernel zip.

4. Replace Boot.ing of ardatdat's with ultimate kernel Boot.ing.

5. now zip it again.

Now you are ready to flash the Ultimate Kernel with CWM.:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
guys, is it possible to do so would have created backup on a removable flash drive?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I have made a CWM flashable zip now. Check first post for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
put the package cwm + core, cwm and does backup on a removable memory stick, and, in principle, not bad!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vrajan:
Thanks for the wonderful kernel. It makes my phone with titanium ROM silly smooth and voodoo really rocks. For some reason I find the bass effect in ultimate better than ardatdat kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ganucci:
Flashed the new kernel. Smooth no issues as of now.thank you
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Amazing sound performance with your voodoo enabled kernel.. Thank you UnknowzD...!! you rock..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] azhar.munshi:
i had checked this rom

but it giving error while updating zip from recovery
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Thank you for your hard work and efforts for our Device.

is it possible to flash CWM 5.0.2.8 with CWM or can you please make it a separate file which we can flash from ODIN because if we flash this with kernel the Custom Count will be increased, as many of us are not having USB JIG it will be more help full for all of us:(.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Yes it is possible, coz I have made my recovery image seperate from the boot.img and actually you can use my recovery image with ardatdat kernel as well.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] emanoj.i9103:
The Cwm zip package includes the CWM 5.0.2.8. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Thank you i haven't checked it:D, flashed it now ....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
I'm getting a problem with the CWM Recovery.

Whenever i try to backup my system, it starts to backup perfect and when it reaches backing up data, data of external sd, it stops saying error in backing up data of external sd... It think it's because it's backing up in the internal sd which runs out of space...

Can you fix CWM to not back up data in internal SD and to not backup the external sd card ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I am also having the same problem, its trying to take all the data which is present in External SD and dumping it to internal SD and giving error, may be because of insufficient space..

So can you please change the Back up location to External SD and not to take the back up of External SD card please:(:(.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Minns:
I have the same problem ( I installed Kernel package with voodoo via CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
Just flashed 2.3.6 and first thing I did was install cwm and ur kernel. One word.. AWESOME dude. Really too good improvement in sound. Its almost equal to my clip+.. Bass is too good even with my pl-11.. Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I will try to fix the problem tonight. Thank you for reporting the problem. In addition, I will roll out another build tonight that supports init.d script as well as installing busybox in /system partition (yes latest hacked busybox src that compiled from CM repo that gives you a much better bash shell than the original one @ /system/bin/sh. And no more crappy toolbox binary as well if they can be replaced from the one in busybox). In addition, it will also supports sysctl in the system partition so all the ROM developer do not need to use the echo '0' > /proc/sys/blah/blah/blah any more. You will just need to ship 2 files to change those values, a sysctl.conf and a init script that invokes sysctl.

brb in 2 hrs, I have to go now as having dinner with my gf.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
take ur time mate, thanks a ton looking forward to test ur new update.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Thank you, take your own time and enjoy your Dinner.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay first post updated now.

The major changes would be

- Automatically installing all the application (superuser and voodoo sound) even you have deleted them by means of accident

- Automatically installing latest busybox binary in /system/bin based on latest CM repo src code

- Dropped a sysctl.cfg which boosts the the system performance and avoid frequent read / write to mmcblk to prevent the NAND broke too fast

- Allow a modder to mode the system with sysctl now :D (actually I have made this function enabled for my default speed up script as well)

However there is not change made in recovery.img atm. I guess I know whats the reason of the backup and I will later try to port vold back to recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jason11:
I think it didn't find sd card .
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mrsaccess:
With your kernel the cpu cores' frequencies seem to change together, while with ardatdat they change independently. I wonder how this affects battery because with ardatdat's most of the time the second core remains offline.

Great work until now though, thanks! A nice bash executable (and maybe sshd, htop, nano ones) would be a great addition! :p

Thanks again for all the great work!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Yep thats the problem that I need to solve. That is because the recovery is lack of vold.fstab as well as can only be mounted with recovery.fstab .... will solve it later.

Okay 1.2c1 is released as well ..... so no more crappy separate installation for Superuser, su and voodoo sound @ all.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
That is because the kernel src file is needed to be patched for supporting separated frequency. tbh I don't have much time to finish this @ once. May be I will roll out the patch 1 week or later (after I have got a summer job and pass in the exam as well). And I need to focus on ROM building more as well.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
Unable to install it over 1.2b.. It says installation aborted. And the cwm can't find my external sd. I had to copy to internal and run. Yet no use.. How to install 1.2c1 now man?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
I understand that the CWM 5.0.2.8 has not completed the?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I have found the problem, it is due to the conflict of different binary.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nedooo:
How to solve this? Any manual workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay sorry for you guys, that was because I have enrolled a development build for the CWM ramdisk into actual release. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Yes there is a workaround for it to fix the problem, please check the first thread for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
Guys yesterday CWM 5.0.2.8 and made backup and took place 1.2GB

and the memory is almost gone because the Backup was made to the internal sd

First vopros.pochemu so much memory

And the second question, why the internal sd rather than smny sd?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jason11:
it's known problem!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25756352&postcount=26

he will fix it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
I will wait for the patch

well so far rolled back to 4.0.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Because the CWM is compiled from CM repo without editing, that means I didn't patch out the source to make it export backup in external sd instead. I promise you that I will patch it in the future. But first let me finish somethings in the kernel first.

For the upcoming releases, my schedule is like this at the moment (Each phase will get a separate release) :

Phase 1 : Boost performance and network speed boost by using the property I have set via default.prop and sysctl.conf (so it will work on any rom if the ROM developer doesn't override them, work best for stock ROM)

Phase 2 : Removing those sysctl setting from the init script so that no duplicate entry is made in the ramdisk

Phase 2 : Enabling overclock in the kernel (yes 1200mhz by default but no longer 1000mhz)

Phase 3 : Patch out CWM to support backup to external sd, as well as supporting installing zip from external sd

Phase 4 : Properly adding zipalign to the kernel such that files will get zipalign-ed by default

Phase 5 : Add IO scheduler

Phase 6 : Allow the user to set CPU frequency for different CPU separately

The reason of not making update to CWM atm is that I need to focus on performance boost on the device atm (as I need to give my device to my gf for daily usage very soon). The CWM part is always replaceable without any problem so that I can work it out in the future.

So stay tuned for those updates.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Serp87:
Sorry, I just thought that has changed, and has written on this!

as well as updates will be waiting with pleasure!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I have finished the first phase on the timeline and released ver 1.3, please check the changelog for more info.

For the upcoming releases, my schedule is like this at the moment (Each phase will get a separate release) :

Phase 1 : Boost performance and network speed boost by using the property I have set via default.prop and sysctl.conf (so it will work on any rom if the ROM developer doesn't override them, work best for stock ROM)

Phase 2 : Removing those sysctl setting from the init script so that no duplicate entry is made in the ramdisk

Phase 3 : Enabling overclock in the kernel (yes 1200mhz by default but no longer 1000mhz)

Phase 4 : Patch out CWM to support backup to external sd, as well as supporting installing zip from external sd

Phase 5 : Properly adding zipalign to the kernel such that files will get zipalign-ed by default

Phase 6 : Add IO scheduler

Phase 7 : Allow the user to set CPU frequency for different CPU separately

For ver1.3a -> ver1.3x ...... they will be some further optimization that I made work on the ramdisk and finishing the phase 2.

To reach ver1.4, phase 3 must be finished.

btw, if you have any problem after I have made change in default.prop. Please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
Can i flash this over ardatdat kernel

1.7b2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Yes but that means you will also lose the tweak in default.prop and sysctl.conf as they are stored in the ramdisk. If you just want to get the following things from my kernel, @ least install my kernel and restart the phone twice (one for dropping superuser, su binary, bravia engine and voodoo sound and one for dropping the library file for voodoo sound to start properly).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
i guess you have interchanged the links for the ODIN and the CWM version... :P
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
Dude, the Links for ODIN and CWM are Interchanged.

Please fix this :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
flshed your 1.3 cwm package.

after flashing device freeze on boot, boot animation continue displaying and phone not booting.

tried to go back to old kernel but after flshing ur old kernel or ardatdat kernel same problem persist, had to reflash whole FW to solve this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
I had that issue once.. Had to Reflash..

Just now When I was on 1.7b2, I flashed Ultimate Kernel 1.3 and rebooted twice.

Fixed all issues..!! 1.3 Is much better..

@UnknownzD, How does Bravia Engine Help us?? Any Change?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Hi UnknownzD,

I have uploaded your kernels to the Galaxy R Box & would request you to include the following links in your first post.

* Ultimate Kernel 1.2c2 [2.3.6][XWLA build][CWM][VOODO]

(Developed by UnknownzD)

* Ultimate Kernel 1.2c2 [2.3.6][XWLA build][ODIN][VOODO]

(Developed by UnknownzD)

There's no limit on how many times the files can be downloaded and they'll be available for download on this server the kernels for even 90 days after a file is downloaded so as top say till its relevant.

I have PMed you the link & pass to Galaxy R's Box so kindly use it as a Mirror to upload your kernels & ROMs.

Thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Weird I don't have such a problem @ all, but I will start investigate it now. In addition, there is NO NEED to reflash the whole fimeware. I will add a flashable odin package later for restoring the I9103 XWLA4 boot image and recovery image. btw could you please tell me whether you have flashed the ardatdat kernel or not (prior flashing my kernel)?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
1.3 is much better just because the code is fully optimized for our device. tbh I still have to port the overclock code such that all of you will get the best performance from the phone.

Bravia engine is enabled by default already and you should be able to see quality difference on phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
I'm having the same problem :/

i dont wanna flash the whole firmware again!! :/

any other brilliant ideas ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hllby666:
Even i had faced d same issue and installed whole firmware again. I was updating from ardatdat 1.7b2 to UK 1.2c2 kernel. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay try to get my latest version of CWM file instead. I have it uploaded now and its a new version. Please report if the problem persists or not.

To flash it, boot into CWM with 3 buttons combo and choose 'mounts and storage' -> 'mounts USB device' and place the CWM file there.

Let me know if you can boot into CWM or not.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
i have tried flshing both cwm and odin file and facing same issue.

i m currently on titanium s 2.1 rom which have ardatdat kernel 1.5 as default.

all other kernels r woring fine but after flashing ur new 1.3 kernel i facce problem what i reported, device freeze on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
That could prolly mean there is either a problem in the CWM update script, or a conflict from the files which has been dropped by ardatdat :\
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Uh that means after flashing ardatdat kernel, you will not be possible to use my kernel through. Anyway I am making a CWM file which contains stock recovery image file with ardatdat kernel. So that will restore you phone back to your original state.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
where is link of that latest cwm?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

before i updated to ur 1.2b from ardatdat 7b there was no problem, i think there is some problem with boot.img in this 1.3 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
On the first page. However since you have used odin to flash it, I think it is not a problem of the CWM package @ all (I have added command to wipe the boot and recovery partition completely). And I guess I have found the reason, that is because ardatdat kernel is using an outdated busybox binary / pre-packaged busybox binary copied from others, and it is conflicting with my kernel, please refer to the first post for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
so what should i do to use test your latest 1.3 kernel? i want to test this kernel and willing to move on to this frm ur 1.2b
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Well could you please try the latest CWM file once please? I have to eliminate the chances for other errors in order to get it fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] allinkiran:
Pardon me if I sound stupid, but can I use this kernel with the GLX-R rom? How high are the chances of me bricking my phone if I use the CWM package?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
u mean this file?

http://www.mediafire.com/?jq24w29d0lqaydd
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Yep that is the new file, the old CWM file is already deleted from mediafire.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
ok downloding, will report what happens
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Weird through, I think there should no problem as well. btw if the phone holds @ the boot animation, please wait for about 3 minutes to see whether it works or not.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Thanks for help through :) I will definitely give a credit to you as well as the ones who are reporting all the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Uh still no result yet? then I will work on shipping v1.3a instead
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] emanoj.i9103:
Should i download and try 1.3 or wait for 1.3a? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
sorry was testing ur new file, still i face same error. currently i m on tour so my sgr is only source of internet for me, so i have to wait till fw being flashed and my device boots perfectly. sorry for late reply :)

there is still problem, kindly look after this
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Well since ver 1.3a has added some binaries to it to further boost the performance, I would recommend you to wait for ver 1.3a unless you are using ver 1.2c1 to 1.2c2, since they are buggy.

In addition, I may need to port the SIO scheduler src code to the kernel now ..... just because I am using SIO in my script ...... so the phase 7 may be finished first.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
thanks buddy, as we have very small community and only few devs working for our device, i cant help by doing dev work as i dnt have that much of knowledge :D i try my best to test packages and to help u devs :) u guys r doing great work thanks a ton
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I will create several recovery file instead.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
thanks buddy, hope that will resolve the problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vrj:
cant understand

cant understand why this pop-up opens when im clicking on voodoo sound.... :confused::rolleyes::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
It means u have kernel which doesnt supports voodoo sound.

Try re installing app and than try
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
As I have said in the first post, if you have got that message, just restart once more with my kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Okay I have made some recovery images for you guys already. Please check the first post in 1 to 2 mintues.

The reason of unable to restore to ardatdat kernel is properly because the recovery image has been flashed as well. btw, for the problem you mentioned earlier (system halted) ..... did you try to put your phone on desk and wait for about 10 minutes? .... that is because the re-creation of the dalvik cache is generally long and I have no way to prevent it atm. However I may come up with a solution later which does not require you to wipe the dalvik cache on every boot. So wait for the v1.3a release please if you are not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jebaclament:
Im unable to use voodoo control.see the pic for reference.

Edit:just installed again the same kernel and problem solved;-)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
I wait for 20 MINS nothing happens, only boot animation repeating
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Thanks for recovery files, waiting for 1.3a, hope that update will resolve this boot freeze bug
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Re: [KERNEL] Ultimate Kernel for XW build with CWM 5.0.2.8 and voodoo sound [REV 1.3]

Try restarting ur device for 2 times
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
I hope so as well ...... problem is that I am still unclear about what caused the problem. btw as you are on tour, where are you stay in atm? still in India? coz I want to have a look on the phone as well :P

Well may be you can get into the IRC channel to talk with me later.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nedooo:
