This there anyway you can make a captivate version of 1.8 kernel? We cant use the new version without updated kernel. We dont have a fix for the lag that works with out bugs and theres a lot of people willing to donate to who ever comes out with a fix. Thank you for the work you have done already.

What we have working but with issues.

I've tried this like 7 times. Everytime i get some market problem like FC's, or the files get stuck in downloading. Problem with SU. Phone gets blackscreen at startup.

I give up. Would have been nice to have this though, but i'll just use 1.7 for now..

Is there any way to format the external SD card without using a card reader? I don't have a card reader with me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kmrdeva:
If your computer or laptop has an SD card slot, you can consider putting the microSD into an SD adapter and inserting that into the SD slot and finally, formatting/partitioning the card from the computer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Yeah, I don't have ANY card reader at the moment.

I see that there are a lot of ROMs and similar for the HTC devices that let you do it on device, but none for SGS? It looks like all it needs is a rooted rom with gparted installed on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
I'm interested to see how you can install gparted on Android.

I had a few of them too, but now I can't find any! I think someone took them! I'll have to go buy one tomorrow. I looked into making a rom with parted, but I have no idea how I would compile it in!

Stuck on boot screen

Hello,

After installing the rom fine, i've downloaded and installed the SamSetKernel_v1.2 but my phone won't boot anymore. It's been stuck on the boot screen for over 15 minutes.

I had previously made an ext4 partition on the sd card.

What did i do wrong ?

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Checking a bit deeper, it looks like all that would be required is an update.zip file, with a copy of 'parted' compiled for ARM/Android in /system/bin, as well as the gnu parted libraries... somewhere.

Anybody with experience in making update.zip that could help out with some advice here?

work like a charm. Score, 1787 with 1go ext4 and 14go fat32 on class 6 card.

thank you.

Can you apply the lag fix kernal thing at a later date? Would it be ok to just install samset and then run the phone like that for a few days.. then later on hard reset and apply the lag fix kernal thing ?

Or.. do you have to apply both zips one after the other straight away ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xfile087:
It will install and work fine no problem without the lag fix kernel and yep should work okay if you hard reset and apply kernel at a later time though I have never tried it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mark99uk:
Ok thankyou. Just installed samset1.8 (without kernal lag-patch) and it works great and looks great :-)

Only problem is the FancyWidget weather isnt displaying.... anyone know how to get this working? It was happening when i manually installed the apk too prior.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xfile087:
If you mean the widget loads but no weather shows? I had same problem and had to enable gps and tell it to use my gps location, once it found and updated the weather I disabled gps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bhonka:
It's probably not finding your location because you're indoors or the GPS is off.

I just set the location manually since I'm not travelling.

changed the MicroSD

Hi setenza01 , greeting form Hongkong !

thanks for your nice rom first !

but i got 1 question about it, now i'm using samset1.8 with a2sd no lag fix

i'm using a 8GB class 2 microSD and running normally , but only got 1516 quradant benchmark.

So i try to format another class 4 8 GB to replace it , but it seems everythings is gone including the apps. is it need to do sth before swap another MicroSD ?

P.S. those 2 MicroSD already formatted with Fat32 then Ext4.

Thanks for yr reply !!

and please keep working in the screen on lag problem , thanks !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] one4spl:
Sorry, I've read the first post several times, and I still can't figure out the Kernel part of this.

I've installed the first update.zip ... all good... works well.

The bit that isn't obvious is how to install SamSetKernel_v1.8_PDA.tar.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Also, even if I don't have an external SD card is this worth doing? Or is it only relevant to the ext4 hack stuff?

EDIT: Sorted... sifted through a few pages of posts and found the answer - you flash the kernel in with Odin... just as the PDA... overwrites the kernel keeps everything else. yay.

After initially installing 1.8 and lagfix had the 3 second lock screen lag and gps still pants.

SLOOOW.... and benchmark gets stuck on I/O test 3/4?

Hi guys,

I have flashed this rom as many of you have had fantastic speeds... but I am suffering the slowest rom I have ever had...

Here is what I did, please let me know if there is anything I left out:

1/ formatted micro SD using ubuntu 15gb fat32 then 1gb ext4

2/ flashed phone using Odin with I9000XWJM2 from samsung-firmware site

3/ flashed phone with SamNet 1.8

4/ flashed SamSetKernel_v1.2_PDA using Odin

My phone still stuck on test 3/4 IO database writes. I have restarted the phone and the same thing happens.

EDIT: after writing this message, I looked at my phone, the benchmark had eventually completed and I had a score of 1555??? wowie!

I ran the test again with a similar score, but again, the test got stuck on I/O 3/4 for at least 3 or 5 minutes... I dont recall that happening with my previous roms, and before I had formatted the ext memory with fat32/ext4...

Your input would be much appreciated, tx

Hi livegod

Did u done a full reset before flash.

Try this :

*2767*3855#

if nt solved

reflash jm2 with repartition enabled

then redo *2767*3855#

reformat ur sdcard to not retrieve old app

nd redo samset procedure (dont forget to put sd just after flash samset rom nd just before app2sd kernel

this solved pbm for me

At least you could warn me that this command will REFORMAT MY F****** phone?????

I thought it was a fix, not a complete wipe!

I was not prepared to wipe my whole phone, I wanted help, not to be completely screwed. If you advise someone to do something so destructive, you should at least warn them. I was asking how to do something because I did not know how to do it myself.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gogibyte:
You must always do backup for your phone if u doing something like that. ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
something like what?

I was believing it was a code to fix the lag or delay or something like that, not wipe the whole phone?

incredible.

besides, the sgs has no proper backup method.

titanium has not worked between roms for me

and there is no nandroid like there is with hero etc...

I wish there was a way to make an image of the installation like with nandroid.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gogibyte:
Something like that :) to put code in phone for full reset :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] medimel:
So sorry livegod

Thought it was clear.

A full reset liked its name erase all ur data nd reset phone like fresh wipe.

In future will post some warning with this command.

Hope u wont hate me for this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
I have tried rom manager and its pretty usesless since it does not work between 2.1 and 2.2 and also only works with some roms and does not work when you have to wipe/clean your memory all the time. An image file is better, you can copy it off the SD card and keep them on your computer for restoring later.

anyhow, yep a warning would be good, I thought it was a minor fix and that if things did not work out I could then wipe as a last resort!

Hi. Thank you very much for the ROM. Its much faster than my previous one.

But I get only 900 points in quandrant... What have I done wrong?

1. flashed with JM2

2. Updated with SamSet 1.8
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Without the kernel and ext3/ext4 installed u won't see more than 900.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jam3sjam3s:
Oh I see. Thank you. I didn't know that the kernel would make such difference (this is my first Android phone and first flashing).

So I should format my SD card (the external one, not the internal?) to fat32/ext4 and then flash the kernel with Odin?

Hi (great ROM btw).

But is there any way how to reset (restore) default theme?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hi there Medimel,

I managed 1700!!!

So I guess after doing the *2767... I had to reflash jm2, and samset with 1.8 kernel then the v1.2 kernel.

I was not sure what you meant by putting "sd just after flash samset rom nd just before app2sd kernel" Do you mean that I should remove the external SD card and replace it only just before flashing with the v1.2 app2sd kernel? I didnt do that, and got a few apps giving me fc's so I uninstalled those and reinstalled them and things seem fine...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
Lag fix is not mandatory
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sl8125:
Oh Thanks. BTW how about a captivate fix? Any way you can build us a kernel to use with your upgrade. Love the work. Alot of people who is looking for it. I am sure same kernel could be used in the Vibrant as well. Not to bribe you with money or anything but, there is alot of ppl who will fund your work if this is possible. Penny for thought???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dykast:
First I did the I9000 JM2 rom install from the Captivate Android Development sticky.

Then i just updated with the samset 1.8.

You can't do the lag fix as we can only use the captivate kernal for things to work right.

It isn't perfect but it sure is the nicest combo for our phone in my opinion. Biggest thing i can find it doesn't do is there is not haptic feedback when you press home.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azreil24:
Sorry if this has been asked, but, why the Quadrant stops at Database Writes. I did everything right, I think, flash JM 2, flashed SamSet 1.8 and then using Odin flashed the Kernel, and offcourse the microsd card with 1st partition Fat32 and 2nd Ext4 1GB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
Mimocan compiled me a kernel with my custom modification. And no lag is present on wakeup, really no.

I need to investigate my devel workstation. I'm in conversation with mimocan, maybe with hes trust i produce this kernel pending my investigation.

Whenever i call, the recipient will get it as voice call. Instead of video call. Once answered, it wil produce a noisy noise at the speaker and it hang up by itself in 5 second.

When i make a video call to the SGS, sgs sees it as voice call too... and same thing happen. Any idea?

One thing I noticed is that if usb is plugged in there is no lag on wakeup.

When you apply the kernel PDA on Odin, do you need to add the (512) pit file ?

I cant find anywhere on this thread that mentions this, so i tried without and it just hangs lol

edit: tried it *with* pit file and now it flashes the image.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mark99uk:
Ive applied the kernel pda, but then when it reboots it only reaches the black and white galaxy d & samsung logo and just stays there...

anyone know why this may be? Is this likely to happen if the external sdcard wasnt formatted correctly? Or should it still boot up anyway but just not get the high benchmark scores.

i can reflash jm2 via odin, them apply the samset1.8 zip and it works again. But when i apply the kernel pda again it dont boot up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:

cant see if its possible to flash 1.8 without wipe?

I'm currently using 1.7 and am happy about it. Can I flash the 1.8 on top of it without making the SD-card changes with fat32 and ext3/4? If I don't need I can I do the flash without changing my sd-card, or are the benefits so many that I have to do it :-)

Another question. What software do you use to partition SD-card on your laptop/PC. Heard somewhere that the recovery isn't good at partitioning :)

You have to wait, try booting with phone connected to pc and launch adb logcat

You can flash 1.8 over 1.7 is not mandatory to repartition sd, if you don't you don't have a2sd lag fix activated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] flochy:
Same observation here. It could be a lead...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
Yeah and if you have a apps like nimbuzz started you never have lag on wakeup, on usb or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
I think it's just because the phone also gets power from usb and doesn't underclock as much as when using only battery. This wake up lag is most probably caused by cpu frequency scaling.

What if you flashed to JM1, rooted it, and then flashed SamSet 1.8 (love the ROM btw), but DIDNT apply the A2SD Lag Fix onto it and re-loaded your contacts, calandars and apps back onto the phone using My Backup Pro, can you then apply the lagfix after doing all this?!~
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daemos:
Do android phones have cpu frequency throttling? like in a PC?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:
Firmware JM1, Samset 1.8, no A2SD lag fix Quadrant Score: 757 or something (was driving while it was running)

Just got home, go that bloody gParted working.

Firmware JM1, Samset 1.8, WITH A2SD lag fix Quadrant Score: 918

Why is it still so bloody slow ffs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mekwall:
Yup, they do. With apps like SetCPU or Overclock widget you can control that throttling and also what governor you want to use.

Never use the ondemand governor on SGS since that will make your phone behave really bad. Constanct FCs, hang on sleep, random reboots etc. Instead use the conservative governor, that will make your SGS fly ;)

It's actually recommended in kernel specs to use conservative instead of ondemand for mobile devices. The difference between them is that the conservative governor gracefully scale between frequencies while ondemand can scale from bottom to top in just one jump.

About the wake-up lag, perhaps it has to do with the phone waking from it's "real" sleep? Having the phone plugged in to a power source or having background applications like Nimbuzz (or latest Facebook, because of a nasty bug) running will stop your phone from entering sleep even when the screen is turned off...
