Ok, seams like JAC have added steps instead of replaced:

Or i'm misreading it?
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
On Linux it's just "diff". I already have both sets of source in a local git repository, though, and the differences are pretty much just audio codecs and a few added arm asm headers. The module sources may differ, I haven't examined those, but I've been using the modules from the stock initrd.

thanks guys with this and EXT2 lag fix my quadrant score is 2706 ,

Dolphin works like a champ and absolutely no lag !!!
[Captivate Android Development] NukaCola:
For some reason YAC's exact patches don't seem to work for AJerman.
[Captivate Android Development] NukaCola:
Vibrant has the same lag issue as we do. I9000 had it too, but it is fixed in the new samset kernel. We don't have access to the fix (yet).

And yes, when we get the fix it will work on all kernels / fixes whatever out there.
[Captivate Android Development] XorZone:
FFS. Why don't we have (Or do we?) irc channel/wiki page for the Galaxy S developers to share this fixes instead of pinging everyone in a loop for the patches.

Hope we will get wake lag fix and working added steps soon.

P.S. And I'm wondering how stable/coherent the froyo source will be.

I've considered a public git repo too, but honestly I'm not sure what to do about history here... can we reasonably deal with these sources as though they were based on stock 2.6.29 kernels, or do we have to start history from the samsung release on with our changes? I suspect the former will lead to massive merge pain...

I worked on setting up a public svn repo today for my own work. Since I can't post the links here, you can see them on my blog (my username + .com).

[Captivate Android Development] :
A word to the wise.....I had this kernel installed right after the OP put up the first link to it and never had a problem with it, but after having to use Odin to flash back to stock (damn speed fixes) the next few times I tried to flash the kernel it would shut my phone down and I had to use Odin again to flash back to stock....turns out I had to add .tar to the end of the file name to get it to work. I have no idea why, it flashed before without any hiccups and I used the same file every time but I guess WinRar kinda hi-jacked the file and removed the .tar somewhere along the way. Stupid mistake on my part but just thought others should know. It also would've helped if I had the right version of busybox installed for the speed fixes /facepalm.
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
If I flash just the kernal like I did for the I9000 rom will it erase my inter nal memory?
[Captivate Android Development] AudiTuner:
It shouldn't. You can make a backup with ClockworkMod Recovery though.
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
Hours of line by line comparison... I was looking through the i9000 and Captivate to see if there could be a way to fix the rotation issue but get the added benefits of a stock i9000 kernel.... long process.... (and the Captivate Kernel appears to have extra files at that....)

Has anyone tried packaging it into Koush's anykernel and flashing through clockwork yet? I personally do not have a captivate or I would try, but I do have the signing software and the kernel....

Hmm, lets try this..... I hope it works... (as always, no guaranties, no fault if doesn't work. I would personally suggest to have Odin and the stock or this kernel in the above fashion just incase. :) )
[Captivate Android Development] THATTON:
Thank you sir!!!! This makes things much easier considering I have a Mac and no Odin...

[Captivate Android Development] BplusB:
with this kernel, I get extreme wakeup lag and sometimes my phone wont even wake up at all. It's already happened 4 times in the past hour. Any way to remove it until it is fixed?
[Captivate Android Development] dalingrin:
Wake up lag is an unfortunate bug with any compiled kernel.

The phone locking up is most likely due to SetCPU and having the "OnDemand" governor. Use the "Conservative" governor instead.
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
I tried to pack it into AnyKernel, but it felt weird not having any modules...just a zImage from AJerman.

When my friend flashed said zip, he says the install completed without problems, but the kernel didn't change?

My update package is pretty much identical to the one posted by bedwa...just edited out the system lines in updater-script, and credited AJerman in ui_print.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/4021jccmtbd2int/captivate-OCd_kernel.zip

edit: can someone attempt to flash and provide a recovery.log? When in recovery, flash the update. After you flash, scroll down to "Advanced", then select "Report error". It will move the recovery.log to the root of your sdcard. Post that recovery.log on pastebin and link to it on this thread or pm me.

You've been noticed!
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
For those of you that were interested in NukaCola's ext fixes, he's combined this OC kernel with his to provide both, so check his thread for that.

In the mean time, I don't mean to be so quiet recently, but there hasn't been a lot to talk about. I've been a little busy in the last couple days, but I'm working on a few different things with overclocking right now, but nothing that is ready to be released yet. Supposedly mimocan fixed the wake up lag issue, so we're trying to find out more from him. Hopefully that can be fixed soon because that's the biggest issue we're facing now.

I just a detailed user manual for the CPU yesterday, so I'm hoping that will help provide a little insight into what more we can do.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Nevermind, I understand what happened.
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
That's exactly what I'm talking about...It says it works, but it doesn't change the kernel...

I need someone to link me to a stock (or even oc'd) boot.img dump from a Nandroid backup to test a theory...Can anyone do that for me?
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
If reading some of the linked threads on this OC you have to be on the i9000 ROM for this to work. I am assuming because it is the European version but not positive.
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
Lame...Can you confirm AJerman?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
So you can learn how to create a signed update zip from here

Its pretty simple really and it would really help on pushing this new community forward
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
([OoPS!!!])
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I'm not certain I know what you guys are talking about. The zip version only works with I9000? I don't know anything about that.

I appreciate that. I'll read over that and learn it all.

However, I think the bigger issue right now is that on the SGS the kernel can't be flashed with an update.zip yet, at least that's what I'm told. With my inexperience with update.zip files, I'm listening people who know a lot more about it than me. So it brings up an interesting question of how updates are going to be pushed to the phone, and unless someone figures it out, we may have to wait and see how Samsung does it and replicate it.

Regardless, I wouldn't plan on making one for this until it's worth doing. If mimocan has fixed the wake up lag, I want that included first for sure, plus I may have a couple other small tweaks to the code before packaging it in a nice pretty package for everyone to use. For right now it's better being kept as something for those a little more experienced, because it's not ready for the prime time yet so to speak.

I know everyone is anxious, but this phone is still very new, so give it a little while and things will start getting smoother. There's people much smarter than me working on all of this too. The SGS has had a few snags so far, but I trust that most will be figured out soon.
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
What are these image tools in the update.zip? There is nothing to unpack or repack to install a kernel for Galaxy S, the kernel and root filesystem are both in the zImage. The kernel is stored in a partition of the internal flash which is locked when linux is running, so we are probably such with Odin until somebody figures out how to unlock it.

And there's Unhelpful being helpful again explaining what I was trying to say. :p
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
Flashman2002 suggested that you need the I9000 rom installed for this kernel to work...Just wondering if that is correct.

I'm trying to help a friend out, as I have no Captivate, with flashing your oc'd kernel. He's less "technical" than I, so he left it to me to figure something out. I always love a challenge!

BTW, you can use dsixda's kitchen to package and sign update.zips, as well as many other scripts for whatever you may need. Definite timesaver imho.

[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
edit: Nevermind...back to the drawing board

edit2: what filesystem is the nand? Is it YAFFS or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
RFS filesystem not YAFFS.
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
The filesystem is not really the issue. The partition containing the kernel image is not formatted with a filesystem, the kernel is simply written to/read from it directly. The trouble is the one the phone is booted, writes to it are discarded silently. Possibly somebody with a good understanding of ARM assembly code could disassemble the driver and patch it not to honor whatever labels the partition as locked - assuming it is not locked against writes in hardware either when the driver loads or by the bootloader after loading the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
How do I flash this kernel using odin, do I put it in the PDA part?
[Captivate Android Development] bedwa:
@vietphunguyen Use odin. (edit: sorry, misunderstood question)

@unhelpful Thanks for the insight unhelpful. Man, every time I look at another wonderful reason to move from my n1 I run into another reason not to move to the captivate. I am glad I have windows, but I don't like not being able to try out new kernels on the fly. I'll still help our my buddy at work though to hack his Captivate to the hilt. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] wdfowty:
Yes, put the zImage.tar in "PDA", power off phone, unplug usb, hold volume up&down, plug usb in to turn on phone (don't use the power button). Click start and you're done.

Just side note, there is no need to run setcpu to make this stick right?

and what is up with Linpack Scores and Quadrant scores....

I get like 9.8 mflops on linpack, but my quadrants are way high... whats the deal?
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Quadrant = BS. ;)

I'm preparing a video comparing all of the lag fixes that should prove that Quadrant ≠ Real World speed.

Having said that, the fastest configuration for my phone personally has been with i9000 ROMs, 1.2 GHz, and NAND fix. Although, that doesn't give me the 2800+ Quadrant scores some are getting.
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
I disagree that quadrant score doesn't reflect real world speed. Stock I was scoring 860's and it was unbelievably slow, I/O took forever. With this OC Kernel and ext2 2.3 fix the phone is much faster with average quadrant of 2500.

Now what I DO think is that the quadrant scores are not proportionate to the real world increase. My phone doesn't quite act like a phone that scores 2500 in quadrant if you know what I mean. It still stutters a little. Still struggles to download multiple apps from the market. But I don't think there really is a good benchmark out there that wouldn't be fooled by these lag fixes simply because of what they do.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I agree, I think quadrant does a decent job with benchmarking, but it doesn't spend nearly enough time on I/O. I'm willing to bet if it were a longer test you'd see I/O scores drop a decent amount.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
So how close are we to overclocking past 1.2 ? I think it time for more speeeeed. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
With this kernel, does anyone get screen wake lag from the screen standby (screen off)? I never got this with just the stock JH2 with the ext2 internal lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Yes, any kernel you flash that has been compiled will show the wake up lag. JH2 is a full ROM flash and the ext2 fix doesn't flash a kernel.

My understanding is that there is a fix out there.. Some of the Galaxy S guys figured it out. We just need to figure out what they did and implement it.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Thanks for the explanation makes sense, but still why is there wake up lag... does it not wipe the kernel completely? I assume its change code inside the current assembly inside the phone and doesn't make adjustments to hardware speed or voltage during screen off......
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Or there is something wrong with either the source release itself or with the default kernel configuration we are using. We know that it disables some options needed to work properly, but there may still be others we can adjust to fix this, perhaps it will help to enable kernel preempt or disable some of the debugging options.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Does anyone have the .tar kernel because the multiupload in the main post is not working? Is the .tar the same that is on the I9000 thread?
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I've hit 1.5 GHz, but we run into the same issues as why I haven't wanted to call this final yet. Right now I can only replace a speed with another speed. I haven't been able to add speeds. When I start going that high, if I'm replacing the 1 GHz step with 1.5 GHz, that means the phone has to take a 700 MHz step which isn't a very good idea. Jumps like that cause crashes which is why we need to be able to add steps. Every time we think we have it figured out, it doesn't work, but we're hopeful again that someone might have figured it out, so we're waiting to see.

Right now 1.2 GHz is a good solid OC, and it looks like most people can run it on stock voltage, but there are still some who are seeing crashes which is likely due to different chips handling the speed better than others. When I can get the wake up lag and adding steps fixed, I can do more to play with different speeds. I have the user manual for the CPU, so there's a lot of reading on calculations of clock speeds and ratios. I'll have to do more studying on that to determine the best clock speeds going any higher.

So no worries. I do plan on doing more, and even making a full topic on this and other kernel mods I've done to this point, but I'm really just waiting for some fixes first. I'm not going to make a topic and full release on a half assed solution. I've posted a temporary OC kernel here for people to play with, so I just ask that you guys hang in there a little longer until some things are fixed then we'll play around more. I just want to make sure that what I consider a final release performs like a final release.

It looks like their server is just down right now. The file should still be there. Give it a few minutes and try again. If they still aren't working in a little while I'll upload it again elsewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Yeah I noticed after I posted that. Thank you for the reply. Link back up and installed kernel. 1051 quadrant and 9.7 mflops in linpack. Not bad over stock JH2 update which I got 8.2 mflops and 905 quadrant scores.

[About XDA developers] chvvkumar:
A very good morning to all admins and mods!

As new ROMs and builds of Android for HD2 keep popping up, I think there is a need for a subforum for Android ROMs within Android for HD2 section so as to not mix all general threads with the ROM threads.

thanks for reading!
[About XDA developers] chris_ah1:
Perhaps Android HD2 Q&A and HD2 Android Roms within the main hd2 section?

Sounds ok tbh - but then what about winmo roms (that often come with someone else's android) designed to solely run android versus android builds? where do you draw the line?
[About XDA developers] chvvkumar:
The winmo ROMs should stay in the winmo ROM thread logically IMHO.
[About XDA developers] chris_ah1:
Yeah, but if you see some rom makers - like Energy and Chucky I think have posted 'android focused' Roms in the android section :(

so it has got a bit confusing tbh.

[About XDA developers] hazard99:
i posted this but i wanted it to be more visable

I would like to suggest not just a Q&A thread but a subsection dedicated to this.

The reason why is because to many random questions that have been answered before I being posted in the main section. I value all the members that we have but id like to see the forum's being used more productively.

I noticed in the Q&A thread a lot of peoples questions had been skipped over. I believe this is do to the number of post that get added to this thread at any one time.

I think that if we had a sub-section just for questions less flaming would go on. Also there wouldnt be a need for double post as these topics would have their own thread. I believe it would make the mods life easier to control all the unneed post without having to drop the ban hammer.

also there is a lot of information in the other threads that are about android. I think that needs to be highlighted so that the dev's dont have to deal with the I'm knew to android questions.

I have put a lot of thought into this and I would just like for us to get along.

mskip or joshkoss or dharvey would you please consider this Idea.

If anyone else supports this idea please say so. I did not give this post its own thread because I felt I would be adding to the problems of random uneeded threads. I also tried not to call anyone out so please dont be offended.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] marty1976:
I have all my contacts on google and they sync with my i9000 including the pictures and numbers and everything else. My contacts are organized in groups in google. The problem is: These group names do not show up on the phone.

I think I found out why: Because of Samsung's faulty implementation of the contacts app.

Check it like this:

Create a new group called 'test' in GMail and put a new contact in it. Wait for the sync. Now the contact quite surely _is_ on the phone.

Now try to create a group on the phone with the name 'test'.

==> Not possible, error says "Group name already in use".

The other way round does not work either. If you create a group on the phone, it's not synced to GMail, because the grouping function seems limited to the phone.

I found out that, using other Android phones, you can select "sync groups" in your google sync preferences. This is just not implemented on the i9000.

I'm really wondering why on earth Samsung did this.

Any ideas how this could be solved?

I tried aContacts, but it's more a workaround than a solution.

Can we replace the Samsung contacts app with the stock Android one?
