[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I'm pretty sure that with "change log" you mean "files changed".

I don't have an answer for that, I usually look at CM changelog (CM10 is pretty much the same since months, the only apps which are changing in my builds are Superuser and Trebuchet, everything else receives some minor updates) and don't care that much about which files are changed, I build and flash.

If you really mean changelog there are no device specific changes in my last build, as I've already said, I just backported three patches from cm-10.1 (see my previous post).

My advice is to get rid of swallen batteries as soon as possible. They are dangerous and provide an awful battery life, other than being very unstable.

I'm going to post an Odin flashable kernel sooner or later, made specifically to run CWM only.

FSync can't cause such a thing, it may corrupt your personal data, because in case something happens while writing in memory (from the simple crash to the unusual scenarios), nothing guarantees the integrity of what has been written. /system is a read only partition though, so it doesn't matter if FSync is enabled or not.

For now, if someone of you has the same issue, you can use the Odin flashable kernel available here. There will be issues with modules (not working sensors, battery level not shown etc...), use it to reboot in recovery and do whatever you need (UMS to backup your data, flash kernels, ROMs etc).

I'll post something better sooner or later, something which let you use CWM only.

Anyway, I think personal data are recoverable even after the flash of the .pit file. I think Odin only touches the OneNAND when you do a repartition (your data are somewhere else). As a matter of fact, the last time I did a repartition with heimdall, all my data survived (maybe I did something wrong). I think the repartition only erases param (that's why the screen is just black after a repartition), boot (that's why it doesn't boot), recovery (that's not used anyway) and system. The rest is not touched (otherwise, your IMEI should disappear after that, same for the bootloaders). It's the content of the PDA to erase your data.

Just to be clear, I'm not sure of what I said, it's just a supposition. When I use heimdall (or Odin), I simply flash kernels. I rarely use it to do repartitions, wipes etc, so I don't know how it works.

This is actually weird, your device shouldn't vibrate. It's like as if the OS is aware of the reboot. It should just shutdown all of the sudden.

EDIT: now that I think of that, I maybe had a reboot while I was testing zRam. Try to disable it if you are using it and see.

What's the problem with the RAM usage?

Android is designed to use as much memory as possible, why are you all trying to free up more than half of the available memory? IMO some free RAM prevents lags when you need huge quantities of RAM very quickly, less apps must be killed, but that's it. I want to take advantage of all the RAM available and run the apps I like, even if they are memory hungry.

Anyway, as I've already said, I'm currently busy and I don't have time for anything.

With "free", you mean "of wasted space", right?

/system is read-only. Ok, you save some "precious" seconds while booting (correct me if there are other advantages in removing so much stuff from /system), but is that so much important? How often do you reboot the device?

My kernel is working correctly, same for the ROM. I plugged my device to two different computer and two televisions. Everything is working. I didn't try to remove the SD to see if anything weird happens, in case it does, I'll let you know.

EDIT: try to format your internal SD card as I already told you the first time you reported the bug, in case you hadn't done it already.

EDIT 2:

As you may noticed, I mirrored the last files. dev-host wasn't working today and copied the last zips on GDrive.

PS: v4.1-test2 is the kernel with zRam renamed, not a new release.
