okay i've gparted the SD card, ran the kernel, how do u tell if the kernel is installed right?

Right now mine says:

Baseband Version: JM1

Kernel verison: 2.6.29 root@ubuntu #1

Build Number: Eclair.XWJM2.SamSet_1.8

How do i know if the lag fix applied correctly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
1/ did you do fat32 first then ext 4 or 3 second?

2/ did you first odin flash the base rom then

3/ flash the samset rom (renamed to update.zip) then

4/ odin flash the 1.8 lagfix

Mark
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:
1/ Yeah i did Fat32 first, then Ext4

2/ Yes flashed Odin base rom

3/ Flashed SamSet

BUT

then i installed my apps and calandar etc

Then

4/ Flash 1.8 lag fix.

When i put the SD card into windows it only sees the FAT32 partition, in system management it cant seem to see the ext4 partition, is that normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dena994:
Amazing...very very thanks:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mekwall:
Are you sure your settings in SetCPU or Overclock widget are ok? Also do you have any special apps running in the background?

I just tried this myself. First time I had Nimbuzz and Juice Defender running in the background... I only got about 900.

Then I shut them both time, and also opened up SetCPU and noticed that it wasn't detecting the frequencies right. So I ran auto-detection again, chose 1200 as max and 400 as min with the conservative governor.

The second run I got: 1504 ... however I am still having the problem with Quadrant hanging up on database writes for a couple of minutes (anyone figured this one out yet?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:
i'll have a look at set CPU

is it normla i cant see the ext4 partition in windows explorer when i look at the microsd, yet i can see the fat32?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:
where is SetCPU...cant find it, i thought i saw it before. Oh man its like $1.99USD...i bought it anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crabby09:
Sorry for the dumb post, but can you install 1.8 without an sd card?

crabby
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hi, Im not a major expert, as you could see some pages back I blindly followed some carelessly worded advice and completely wiped my phone... erm, but

yeah, you will not see the ext4 partition afaik in your computer.

I actually installed free linux ubuntu to format my sd card as I struggled in windows, and there you can see the ext 4, actually when you plug your micro sd into an sd adapter / card reader, the fat32 and ext4 partitions mount immediately and separately. I would suggest ubuntu, its rather big, but its the real thing!

btw, i also installed some apps before the lagfix, and it caused all sorts of problems with non stop fc when I rebooted. I had to start again, wiping external sd card clean again.

maybe a pro could give a more informed answer...

Mark.

how can i install : [KERNE] SamSetKernel_v1.2_PDA ???

i need to rename update zip or what ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] l.lai:
Put the kernal file into the PDA part of Odin, use a 512 pit file and then flash as u preivously did.

Can you do before and after quadrant scores for us?

I performed the lag fix and still only got a score of sub 900, no idea how those guys are getting 1400+ scores...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sullan:
my score before fixlag : 905

after fixlag with ext4 i got : 935

to make a2sd i put my sd card (2gb) on the phone (first fat32 and ext 4 (768mb)) after i put my phone on downloading and i install the kernel lagfix with odin on PDA and with pit512 after i start and when it's finished i kill every apps with task manager and make the test with quadrant (score : 935)

is it okay ?

Are folk using the pit file when flashing the kernel? Not necessary as far as I know, might be screwing things up for you.

Excited about jm5 samset.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sedinix:
ok So when Samset 1.9 come out I reflash again jm5 and don't use pit file yes ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mynx:
That's not what he said ^^

If you flash the kernel you don't have to use the pitfile^^

THX for patient
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sputnik.:
You need to format your SD card to 1. FAT32 and 2. EXT4 as explained in the "Stalling/Lagging fix" thread

The SamSet Kernel will do the rest... I think...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sedinix:
I alredy formated SD 1st partition 6.3GB (FAT32) 2nd 1.3GB(ext4) :/

"BACKUP YOUR DATA AND FORMAT EXT PARTITION"

What does he mean by this? format Galaxy's internal storage? I don't even use and sd card on the Samsung? How do I do this anyway? By checking "re-partition" at odin?

I'm a bit lost here to be honest. I've flashed at least two roms before and it's not a problem...just confused.

Thanks,

João.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dandarebr:
First I would like to thanks for the firmware work! Haven't flashed it yet, but I will definitely do it.

But, as a noob in Samsung firmwares (but I was an expert in Kaiser II firmwares) I find this topic with too much contradictory information. I saw people saying that you should flash kernel with pit. Than someone tell you to not do it. There's the fix information as it was added to the ROM, but then latter tells that the Fix is only on the Kernel and that you must flash it too.

So this is a “hell on earth” for a new user trying to flash his first firmware. I know that we are supposed to know how to flash, and that this topic should not have to teach you that, but the majority of the questions here are flash related. It could save some trouble by including a step by step on the first topic.

I was thinking something like this:

1) First of all you must flash the STOCK XXXXXXX firmwares

It doesn't/does (?) matter if you have rooted your device or not. The procedure will be the same.

Also it doesn't/does matter if your device is running on other custom or stock firmware version. You can flash the XXXXX on a newer version like JG8 firmware without problems.

2) In order to flash the original stock firmware you must use Odin version XXX or latter (or any version)

You should select the XXXX file in the "PDA" section of Odin. You must also flash the modem and CSC firmware of the same (or not) firmware

Also you must (don't need to) use the pit file. You should only use THIS pit file <LINK>

3) After that you could flash the custom firmware. You should use the same procedure as before: File XXX on PDA. Also you must/don't need to flash SCS and Modem ROMs.

4) IF you want the Lag fix, than you must also flash the Kernel file. You don't need the Kernel file to anything else except the lag fix.

You first need the SD card formatted with two partitions. First partition must be FAT 32 and the second can be ext3 or ext4 format. Leave at least 1GB on the ext3/ext4 partition

Then you should add the kernel file in the PDA section of the Odim firmware. In order to flash the Kernel you must/should not use the pit file.

After that you should also root your device. You can find how here: <LINK>

As you can see there is several do/don’t in the text above. This is because I wasn’t able to figure out the answers. Like I said too much contradictory information. I can write this step by step guide but I must know the correct procedure first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedamen:
Should i need partition the 1Gb for ext3/ext4 or the kerner automaticall do it? It isn't wrote in the first post! I installed the JM5, after it the SamSet 1.9a after it the automaticall lagfix, and it's full of lags.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
haha then don't flash the kernel and get first a empty CD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
Awesome job dude! Best rom yet, sooooo smooth, 1700 in quadrant again. Perfectamundo. I owe you a beer.

And to the guy talking about contradictory information you should read the guides on this and other threads. The confusion comes from people asking questions that have already been answered elsewhere.

Fyi - firmware flash needs pit. Kernel flash does not. If people don't understand the difference put your phone down and wait for the official releases would be my advice!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedamen:
Okey, and my last question! If there will be a newer Rom, for example JP4, the programs on SD won't disturb the system ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Elitism is unpleasant...

With respect Bynar, the majority of people in forums like this are people who know a little about flashing and do it for fun/to see improvements. We try to follow instructions and to do our best to work things out. This is a forum where we are meant to be helping each other. Putting people down and being elitist does not help, it just causes bad vibes.

Most people asking the same questions here are not "lazy"... There are over 70 pages on this thread, and the instructions on the top page are definitely not 100% thorough or clear, so I think we should cut people slack if they ask questions which are not answered by the instructions on the first page.

I also think the people who make the roms could spend a bit more of their time making sure the info on the front page is current and complete. Perhaps he/she could appoint a rom-champion to do that job?

Regards, Mark, fredphoesh...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
My apologies, it was not my intent to come across as elitist, I was trying to be practical. It seems some people are not grasping some of the concepts regarding flashing/lag fixes no matter how many times it has been documented on this and other forums, I would not advise anyone to **** around with their shiny new toy without total confidence about what they were doing.

And with respect some people are plain lazy, some guy yesterday started a how do I root my phone thread. Come on, seriously?

I'm all for helping each other out, but when people are asking the same things over and over its why these threads become 70 pages long and completely confusing. I'm finding it frustrating reading threads and getting deja vu everyday.

I knew nothing about flashing my sgs a few weeks ago, its my first android and samsung phone. I spent 3 hours solid reading about flashing it before even picking up a usb cable, and managed to do it without asking a single question. If i wasn't sure about an aspect of the process I searched the forum and google for more information, and it was all there for the reading.

Again I mean no disrespect to those who genuinely are struggling and cannot find the answer after making an attempt to find it, and I and others here are willing to help out as needed. What I'm not going to do is answer questions I've seen asked and answered a dozen times already, but I'll also keep my trap shut instead of berating people for it.

Again sorry, don't want to get on the wrong side of anyone here - well unless they own an iphone of course.

Peace,

Brad

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
How long you leaving it? Can take a while on first boot, be patient.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredphoesh:
LOL

no probs mate.

I do think the first post should be a lot clearer and be updated with all the "gotchas" you can only (maybe) get by reading for hours.

Some quick examples of how confusing the first post is:

there is no mention of whether to use the pit file for the lagfix or not...

it does not mention you have to install I9000XWJM5 before flashing in the "install procedure", but is only mentioned in the changelog...

it mentions copying the install.zip to your sdcard but is that internal or external...

stuff like these could easily be made clear on the first post and really should be, so I would really ask that the cooks keep updating their thread with best practice info.

cheers

Mark.
