i had the same problem over and over again till i read some pages above that you have to partition with a card adapter and not with the phone acting as a card reader. now it does work for me!

everything is fast and snappy but quadrant hangs at the "I/O Database writes" test. any solutions for this so far?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
So after creating the FAT32 partition and the EXT4 should I format the FAT32 partition using the SGS ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
Absolutely, NO!!!

I know is a long thread, but we had said earlier that using SGS to format the card, it would wipe out ext4 filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yc1437:
I tried the adb method but get the su permission denied message, what's wrong? Anyhow i type in all the syntax fr first post via phone terminal & finally i get the quadrant score of 1440 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SLX69:
Same over here :-(

I've read in other forums people with the same problem solving it by uninstalling Quadrant, rebooting and reinstalling, but it doesn't seem to work for me :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I did this on my vibrant and it worked but i had some FC so i did a factory restore and was about to do the restore with clockwork but now im stuck at the factory recovery and my power button doesnt work does any one have a idea how to fix this is ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
what do you mean by that? you don't get into the (clockwork) recovery?

have you tried taking the battery out for some sec's?

do you get into download mode, because than you could reflash with odin. that always works ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
ya it didnt work i used "adb reboot clockwork recover" and it rebooted me up normal kinda scared to flash my nandroid back up now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
ähm. have you tried to run the update.zip in the recovery as the clockwork recovery is not permanent but in the update.zip which you have to flash every time (rom manager does this for you). try it!

also you can go to the recovery with home+volup+power when the device is off.

i guess the power button issue could be because this kernel is for the international version and not the vibrant ... i have read somewhere that the button-codes are different for the various models.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Ok, thanks for the heads up!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Devil-D:
Well, i`ve been trying this for days, but still the same results. Here`s what happening... I`ve done these things over and over again and all failed! :mad:

Format sd Fat32/ext3 (1600 mb) (with gparted) (total sd-card is 16 GB)

Flashed the sgs with I9000XXJP2 Pit 512

Flash ext3 with the right file from mimocan...

right after the ext3 flas the phone reboots and comes every time in the "manual mode", with the 4 blue lines (whatever i do, this mode keeps coming up:()

Could someone please help me out?! :confused:

(wordt gek van het stalling/lagging probleem!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slas111:
how did you get it working iv'e spent a full day trying to get this to work:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fAtaXe:
Little problem here.

I have a 32gb card and I formatted 1,8GB as ext4 and the phone is working alright now... (1514) on Quadrant but the external card doesn't show up as a drive anymore when I connect the phone to the computer as "mass storage" so I can only use the memory of the phone and not the external card.

When I look at the phone settings though I see that the internal memory is supposedly ~27GB

Edit:

Also I checked, when I connect the device as a Mediaplayer it shows both, the internal and the external memory and I can copy files directly to the external sd via adb push.

So apparently everything is fully functional except the "mass storage" function.

Also I can see the card under Paragon Harddisk Manager but it shows up as "WPD FileSystem Volume Driver" under the Hardware manager of my Win7 x64 with errorcode 10 (This device cannot start)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Slugster:
JP2 you say.. i dont think this fix works on Froyo yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fAtaXe:
I don't know if it changed but the last thing I read was that it doesn't work with froyo and JP2 is android 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RayEarth:
Can someone please please upload the /system/media directory? I accidentally deleted mine...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Android 2.1 and 2.2 uses different versions of kernels. So we have to wait for source code to 2.2 kernel. And hope Mimocan will update his fix :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dahool2008:
how big is your ext3 partition? because in the german board we had another person that has the same problem - with a 16gb sdcard and running out of space error in market.

what is the vendor of your sdcard?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danielherrero:
I set 2GB for ext3 in my 16GB class 2 sd card. And most of those 2 GB was used with films...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mimocan:
my ext3 partition is 1gb. And the vendor of my card is sandisk.

I am working on a new kernel to fix this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mimocan:
download this one and please test to fix the market issue:

..is there a fix for none rooted phones.. i mean stock SGS firmware..

..dumb question but reading from the posts [correct me if i'm mistaken].. it seems one needs a rooted phone..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalaxyFan88:
You're definitely going to need a rooted phone. Without it won't be possible to apply this stalling fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hkfriends:
hi this link is dead

pls upload again , thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:

i mirrored it, anyway the link still works on mediafire

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalaxyFan88:
So I did everything according to the instructions now.

How can I see if everything works correctly (ext3 mounted on device)?

my phone seems to be snappier now but when I access the music player and scroll through my library it sometimes stutters.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lio78:
Great work, I would try this but for install the new kernel I need to rename in update.zip?

And after I need insert commands via "adb shell" (first post)?

Thank's and sorry for my English.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalaxyFan88:
You can also enter the commands via a terminal app installed on the SGS. I've done it this way. Much easier in my opinion, since you don't have to connect your phone to the pc and start adb-shell afterwards.

Make sure you have busybox installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rizlo:
Sorry mate, this is just not true. If I patch my PC and then remove my hot-swappable hard disk for whatever reason, I expect the system to keep working. Same thing on my GS, I have a hot-swappable SD card and I'm not giving up the ability to move cards around. That's why I'm keeping that stuff on the NAND until Samsung fixes the whole thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glenner05:
Isn't it possible to use the internal sd for this fix?seems my external sd is broken. Can read from it, but when i try to delete files, format it or even repartition it, all content just comes back? Like nothing was erased...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] glenner05:
can i apply this fix with sera's JIT enabled custom roms? If so i will try it tommorrow because i need to buy me a new sd card first....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lio78:
Thank's, this is great :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WhatZitTooya:
Hello!

I hope u could help me!

My phone is rooted, has busybox and everything installed and i followed the HowTo but when i enter the command "cp -rp /data/data /disk/" it says

"can't create directory '/disk/data': Read-only file system"

What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rizlo:
^^ Did you enter "su" before that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WhatZitTooya:
sure^^......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mimocan:
please use the v3 posted on the first page. This is a new release of the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sdub78:
thanks for a great guide!

I've been reading through this thread wondering whether I should have a crack at doing this myself on my 4 day old galaxy.

Just jumped from stock quadrant score 903 to 1102 on Ext3 then reversed and repeated on Ext4 for a final score of 1638.

now this little baby flies!

Edit: Just backed that score up with a 1711. very happy with the result.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tuxing:
thanks for the excellent guide

got a quadrant score of 1792 on xxjg5 with ext4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davbran:
After spending many hours attempting to fix this, I found that you need to either be able to use a card reader, I don't own one, or if you own an android phone using AmonRa's recovery, you can partition there with a small swap (just to take up the first partition) and ext partition.

We need to get that information in the instructions. People who don't know will waste a lot of time trying to partition the sdcard via USB Mount
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mimocan:
it is stated clearly in the instructions.

partitioning the SD card is out of the scope of this tutorial.

you have the 1st partition fat32 and the second one ext4 then it WORKS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] halabibk:
mimocan, when we are going to get a mod for the JP3.

thanks....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mimocan:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
You mentioned an update to the current fix with some additional goodies....?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sdub78:
I ended up mounting my SD card via my blackberry and did all the partitioning from there. Worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milk_vanilla:
Hi Mimocan,

Just wondering if there are possibilities for us to fallback to normal (running under internal SD card ), without restore/reflash back from beginning.

For eg. the SD is tampered, or urgently needed for other device/purposes. Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] husq510:
@mimocan so why samsung decided to go for RFS/vfat instead ext3/ext4 ? Do you think ext3/ext4 would give the same ‘robustness’ and provides journaling based error recovery mechanism and guarantees that the file system runs at all times even if there is a sudden power loss?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OMK1210:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
the script they are using also moves the dalvik-cash to the sdcard. i tried it and now i'm up to ~ 1700 (from ~1600)...quadrant still hangs for 5 min at the db-writes tho. to be honest, i'm starting to think that the score doesn't really get so much higher but quadrant just skipts the io-test and therefore it's getting higher.

does anybody get higher scores without quadrant hanging at the io-tests?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] incubuz:
I've same situation there, anyone could help? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
you have to copy the media and data folders from the ext4 partition of the old card to the ext4 partition of the new card, of course! otherwise you will loose all the app-settings...

edit: be careful, the file-permissions have to be the same so you have to copy them with the -p switch (eg. cp -rp)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] incubuz:
Thank for your help, can I do this with 1 card reader and how? Sorry to ask a lot but I quite not used to linux things.

Help please

When i command

su -

busybox cp -rp /data/data /disk/

it says

cannot creat directory '/disk/data2 : Read-only file system

what does it mean? what can i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Been trying to get the vibrant hack to work on the galaxy... using their userinit autoscript causes wifi/network/app problems for some reason.

And it doesn't seem to link the /data/ files to an ext partition, only a fat32 one.

Even after changing the userinit to send the files to /disk/ it still causes instability.

they seem to use a different system to link the files to the SD card. can anyone explain the differences between busybox mount -o to busybox ln ? i presume mount -o can only be done during boot?

Interested in their 2,000+ quadrant scores....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DraXkor:
zanbay, check in explorer if there's a disk directory

if it is, look if there are other directories inside, if that's the case delete them and retry
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zanbay:
there is no disk

cuz i did not name theme when partition prosess...should i do...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DraXkor:
no you shouldn't, disk diectory means that the card is mounted

you flashed the kernel? ext3/4 is the second partition on card? rebooted the phone with card inserted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zanbay:
Damn when i flash ext4 with odin my micro cd card was not in the phone...

thats why?????

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lauregos:
First, I'd like to thank mimocan for this great fix!

I've got a problem, though:

I've applied the fix successfully, after creating the two partitions with paragon, as I couldn't get gparted to work correctly on my laptop. The phone sees both partitions correctly, but when I connect it to a computer and enable mass storage, the computer can only see the internal SD-card. The external is displayed as an unformatted disk. If I check with paragon when the external card is mounted through the phone, it detects it as a functioning, formatted FAT32 partition. So it seems it's just Windows 7 that won't see it as formatted FAT32 partition.

If I attach the card directly into the laptop's car reader, both partitions are detected as "invalid" by Paragon.

I've made it work through Kies, but as Kies is as it is (crap), it only works occasionally, and it's not really a viable solution for me.

The weird part is that windows could see the FAT32 partition before I put the card in the phone.

I know the partitioning isn't covered by mimos tutorial in the first post, but I guess this thread would be the best place to find out if anyone else has had similiar problems, and how they solved it.

EDIT: I'm on JM1, and used an ext4 partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] teriemer:
Superb work Mimocan! Installed your fix (ext4 w/ JM2) and have now a quadrant score at 1777... What a massive improvement!

Again - thanks for excellent work. This definitely makes me wait a little while for installing froyo.

Hello!

You guys who get a score 1700+ with the fix. I need some help.

If you partitioned using Linux, and used a USB-card reader;

- What brand and model of the USB-card reader?

- What brand of SD-card?

I need to buy this stuff and only want stuff supported by Linux and want good results :)

Have a nice day!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maverickzero:
Hey guys, I just flashed JM2 and did the mimocan fix ext4, but it gives me lower result than normal :S I get 843... Do you guys have any idea why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmmusale:
Hi Guys,

I got 1654 Quadrant score after applying fix. Can't post my score due to forum restrictions.

I updated my Galaxy S to JM2 and then applied this fix with EXT4 on my Kingston 8GB class 4 MicroSD card. While getting this score, I had to wait for 12-15 mins to complete Quadrant test. It was stuck at Database Writes step for more than 10 mins.

After applying this fix, I can't notice any speed increase or my phone is not Flying as suggested by others. Only difference is Quadrant score. So I just want to ask everyone about their experience on JM2 before and after applying this fix. I am not quite convinced with this fix as I can't see any real world difference.

Your views are much appreciated.

Thanks to Mimocon for all hard work.

Regards,

Prasad
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fntms:
I had this problem too after coming back to JM2 from JP2, but I knew i could get 1400+ (previous JM2/mimo ext4 score), so I just reapplied the fix and it worked...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] teriemer:
Yep

That's the thing to do. Fire up Odin and re-flash the PDA file and it should work. I did the same and re-flashing solved for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
sorry about the noobish questions but whats the minimum size of a sdcard to make the fix? An how can i format my card if i dont have any card reader to attach it to the computer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sincci:
There's not really any minimum size for the card, but if you want it to be useful, get an 8Gb/16Gb microsd with an sd card adapter and some cheap card reader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
so i cant format the card without a card reader? i found a 512mb old sd card and was wondering if it could do the trick :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w1ll1m:
Once the fix has been applied can i remove the memory card? I dont want to move all my vids, pics etc over to my pc and back again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmmusale:
Nope...You can not remove your card as Data folder will be accessed from card only. It gave me blank screens when I removed it.

it is brilliant wonderful... Quadrant works also wonderful...

Now it is 1737 ...

USE SANDISK
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Did Quadrant run quickly on the Sandisk? Not the score, but the time taken to complete the test. Especially the Database Write test.

Yes quickly no waiting...That s why I told you... With Sandisk it takes less then 1 minute...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] meepmeep2006:
Those scores would rather indicate that the kingston sd card was ext3 and the sandisk ext4? I also think its kinda rough to generalize like that and say kingston dosnt work...... Im sure there are lotsa people with 1700+ running on kingston.

Which firmware version? :)

Also, I haven't read this thread completely - stopped following several pages ago. But I've seen people report that they're missing stock ringtones/message tones etc after this fix. Any of you guys still facing that problem? Or is this fixed as of now?

This might have been dealt with before. But Windows doesn´t recognize the external SD when connected. Only the internal.
