RUU is the way to get back to stock by simply running one of the actual real verizon released ROMs. Sometimes a RUU won't run it you have a newer <something> on your phone; in the case you are dealing with, HBOOT.

If you still want to RUU but it won't let you 'downgrade' your HBOOT, then you need to follow the other thread to get to a lower HBOOT version to then allow the RUU back to stock.

Got it?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
I just found this picture

dev.odroid.com/wiki/odroid-t/pds/FrontPage/s_blockdiagram.jpg

So does it mean only 384MB DDR is available in system?

May be this is the reason why 305M ram shows in JP3 firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
That could make sense.

I wonder what the difference between them is?...Could one be dedicated to the GPU or in charge of background stuff?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rah77az:
Did anyone notice MFC 1080p 30 fps there? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
That system block diagram isn't a Samsung official one, and frankly, i think it's wrong.

If the main memory in the Galaxy S was LPDDR1, we'd see lower GPU performance, MUCH lower. Memory bandwidth is everything when it comes to GPU on mobile devices like this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
GPU RAM must be OneDRAM，OneDRAM is much faster than normal DRAM.

You can google "OneDRAM".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ^Sbk79^:
So I guess we might not really have 512MB of ram (as advertised)... isn't it? I mean, if these MBs are reserved to GPU use only. There will come a day when they will be needed for other use than graphics :|.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
They are not reserved for GPU use only.

OneDRAM is like an intersection for routing information with as-little-as-possible blockades in the middle.

Splitting the memory to "conventional" ram and onedram is going against the very principal of onedram. I am having a hard time to believe they actually did that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
There is no official statement about RAM size.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
I noticed the diagram says "TFT LCDC". That seems wrong, does it not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bookwormat:
This. You'll find a lot of press about the Galaxy S having 512mb RAM, but where does Samsung itself advertise this? I cannot find anything about it anywhere on Samsungs website. Maybe we should ask them?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
GSMarena pressed on the issue when the phone was released, and samsung replied that there are indeed 512MB.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
Lol....So do we actually know if it has 512MB of RAM or not? As some others have stated it might help explain why the Sammy has lag issues and the Desire does not..

BTW, I dont own either at present and am just going by what I have read in these forums.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
That diagram also doesn't list wireless N, does that mean our phones don't have wireless n??? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
well..... using my onboard math processor I compuete that 384+128 = 512..

So samsung wouldnt have been lying if they had said there was 512.. even if 128 might be dedicated to the gpu or something else. 512+128 would have been nicer though.

I wonder if this diagram is accurate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dkcldark:
The picture is of ODROID-T which is a tablet style device for developers.

Its hardwares are quite similar to SGS but I don't think this block diagram should be showing exactly the same informations as SGS's.

Have a look at this site;

http://dev.odroid.com/wiki/odroid-t/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Well, the S5PC110 doesn't have the memory built in beforehand. It's changeable, the controller supports OneDRAM, LPDDR1 and LPDDR2. You can stick whatever you want in there.

Remember that only what's in the blue square is the actual SOC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
How does this differ from the HTC Desire setup? I know it has 576 MB RAM, but not sure how its split up...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ^Sbk79^:
Well, I checked before posting. Google for an official press release from Samsung Australia. Xda is not letting me post external links due to my low number of posts. However, I love my S. I'm just saying that this mem thing is starting to smell a little bit of i7500, from a customer relations' POV. Let's just hope we actually have a different design and that, as rumors say, new kernels will unlock all available ram.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
I also found a tear down analysis of Korean version galaxy s.

The author said it has "4Gb NAND+3Gb DDR+1Gb OneNand",which is incorrect.

Some comment below said it is OneDram actually.

If not for the OneDram,How can samsung declare 90M triangles/sec instead of powerVR's figure of 28M triangles/sec.

OneDram is more expensive than DDR.

I guess samsung does't say anything about RAM because it's a different structure,and hard to explain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] habs101:
gosh i have been lurking on these forums to buy this phone

but with this memory issue it seems like the OMNIA II all over again

there the phone was advertisied with 512mb but only so little was left to the user!!

samsung samsng oh samsung!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madjsp:
What memory issue is there? Honestly. When my phone starts up, EVERYTHING seems to be running and yet i still have 70mb free. I clear most of it and i have 150 free. Everything works fine in that regard, right?

I used to have an n97. Coming from that, this has enough ram to run a google search engine...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
Desire has 576M RAM,but only 400M in OS use,176M is not available.

Galaxy s has 512 RAM,325M(305M in JP3) in OS use,187M is not available.

so there isn't much different between galasy s and other android phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] habs101:
nexus one has 512mb

after boot i start with 312mb
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
312MB free? Does it show full 512MB in the OS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Can anyone confirm this that the galaxy does NOT have an actual 512MB usable for its system ram.. 100mb free is cutting it a little short and the system will always try to free as much ram as possible..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
I believe we won't get any words from samsung about it.

so,anyone who never play 3D games and wants more free RAM,better wait for official froyo update,and see how it performs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Well the updated kernel that supports HiMEM is already with JP2 and its showing 305MB of ram, so i guess the device does not have a real 512MB for OS use
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
HiMEM is already in most devices with Eclair actually.

305MB of ram is just a figure.

We don't know how the ram has been located,used,or maybe wasted.

So I think the overall performance is the most important.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I guess the most important thing is that the phone isn't held back by a lack of RAM, which doesn't seem to be the case? The lag issue is to do with the speed of the internal SD card, not because the device keeps running out of RAM.

No-one has problems multitasking several applications, I'm assuming?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Actually, it's not because of poor internal SD speeds (do some transfer tests from the pc yourself, you'll see), it's because of poor I/O routing and instruction sets in current firmwares.

It's a software issue, not a hardware one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] coocood:
I noticed that samsung never has any RAM spec of phones mentioned in their official site.

Is that a convention or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kpkpkpkp:
Can this be fixed by froyo, or do we have to wait for samsung to issue a separate fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
But how does mimocan's or paul's lag fixes that work by moving the app data to the external sd card / nand memory improve performance then?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bookwormat:
Yes, I know that page. Like I wrote earlier, there is no hint on RAM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
back in the days of PalmOS those phones had very limited RAM, it was a must thing to install.

most of these applications used to move apps/data from RAM to the SD card, and then run it from there, only leaving a pointer in RAM to let the OS know this application is over there.

this frees up RAM space and speeds up the software by not clogging the system and providing it enough RAM to run

in Android it works very much the same way.

another simple way to view it, is like the Pagefile of windows that you are moving from C: to D:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Wasn't that back when RAM was used for storage as well? I never had a PalmOS device, but my Psion Revo from the same era had 8MB total memory for everything. Pre-WM5, Windows Mobile also used RAM for data storage.

The lag fixes involve either moving the data from the internal SD card to the NAND or the external SD card, but none of those locations should affect the RAM. Whatever the problem is (whether it's slow I/O or slow hardware), it seems to be interal SD card specific - moving the data anywhere else helps.

Were a lack of RAM the problem, I would expect to see out of memory errors or programs being aggressively closed all the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ^Sbk79^:
As posted before:

hxxp://www.samsung.com/au/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19544&page=1

(change xx to tt... too few posts to publish links...)

I know it's just a press release. I kow it says "subject to change without notice". But come on, who do we think gave info to the press??? Did reviewers dismantle the phone to check markings on chips??? I don't think so, or they would have been visited by police (Hi Steve :D).

BTW: I love my phone and own many SG products. But, personally, after the "i7500 affair" (I remembe almost the same topics about its "undisclosed" ram size), I'm going to "judge" SG from a customer's point of view (no fanboy) on topics like these: RAM, GPS fix, support for releases up to 3.x, release of sources to the community. I mean, this phone is just astonishing. But, just a personal opinion, companies must learn that products are their core business but communication plays a major role.

For example, I'd prefer to know that they made a specific engineering choice (and maybe why) than knowing nothing. Specs on paper, fanboy/bloggers and rumors are easy, good products and good communication are the real deal.

Let's see and, in the meanwhile, have fun with this little monster!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
and i still dilemma on whether to flash OpenDesire or the Original rooted froyo....

Need to clear something in my mind for flashing steps;

1)Root my device(DONE!)

2)Backup Nandroid

3)Run Titanium Backup

4)Flash my chosen custom ROM

5)Restore files using Titanium Backup again.

a) thats it right? btw whats with the Radio? do i need it? i see some got with radio and some dont. what is it for and why?

b) and about Titanium backup, i just backup all the stuffs, and restore them all just like that correct?

c) and all my settings/preferences/options for my apps will not be lose right(for example fonts, colours, settings in handcent sms, etc)?

d) and one more thing, all of my purchased apps from Paid market still be useable ? or need to download again?

Here is the DroidX Multi-Touch Keyboard Port that works on the vibrant, just tested it :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?lumzzhdjnij

The original thread is here

Enjoy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rhcp011235:
Nice fine.

But, question.

The keys are super tiny. compared to the IME-HTC (EVO keyboard) and the default samsung.

What makes this soo good?

Sorry i am quite new to all this.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] the3dman:
Thanks will try it tonight. *Update* Letters are way to small
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shznit:
Really small font on keys
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rhcp011235:
Yea. thats what i said :P

Im curious as to why this is soo good :) whats the main KILLER feature? Ive been hearing alot about this keyboard.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The_Chrome_Coyote:
its worked on the vibrant for awhile now, the font is way too tiny on the keys.

Id be interested in finding out why, but I dont have the knowledge to do so.

One of the main features is true multi touch, which on our screen will allow for significant error correction when typing.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ed10000:
This works perfectly on the I9000. Samsung keyboard has multi-touch too, I don't know what all the fuss about Droid X's multi-touch keypad is. But Droid X keypad certainly has MUCH better auto correction. That's why I use this.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] designerfx:
okay so lets see. it's been confirmed many times it works right on the i9000, but doesn't work right on stock or rooted vibrant firmware. Meanwhile, the file in question hasn't been changed (other than being hosted on mediafire, which is something to be careful of sometimes).

So why is this being reposted here when even the op confirms that it shouldn't be?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kolyan:
Smart keyboard in market claims true multitouch........how do i test if it is ? Thats what I use now, its very good, its multilingual, and its just very nice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] genibus:
? lawl

hold one key press another
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chaoscentral:
Why do we need this again when the Samsung keyboard already supports multi touch?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The_Chrome_Coyote:
What he said :)

Will it recognize both keystrokes based on when you remove your finger from each one is the best indicator.

And to respond to the Samsung KB comment, I think its auto correct is just rubbish which is why I dont use it. I have to fight the KB's piss poor prediction more than the HTC's KB's lack of MT bothers me.

I really like how the Droid X KB feels when I type with it, and its auto predict feels as good if not better than stock Android. I just need the bloody font to be larger on the keys
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gravis86:
Better Keyboard from the market is true multi-touch. I'm using it now.

Samsung KB is not true multi-touch.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blanked:
How do you turn off the keypress sounds for the Samsung keyboard? They drive me crazy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
You can't, unless you disable haptic feedback all together, which turns off vibrate on the home keys as well, under settings and then sound.

Droid x keyboard was always my favorite, can't use it with tiny font though. Why? Not because of multitouch, but because of How it looks and feels, very easy to type fast on it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blanked:
I installed the APK but it's not showing up under Input Method list... how do I use this? :)

Well that sucks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
I think this keyboard is by far the best i've used... but ditto on all the small letters comments. Is it at all possible to mod the size?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] scoochv:
I haven't downloaded it yet, but if it's like the rest of the third party keyboards, go to Settings > Locale and Text and make sure the box is checked.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kolyan:
well then Smart Keyboard is also multitouch, and i find auto correction work pretty good.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] camit34:
Agree with the font size needing to be a little larger but i'm pretty good with a qwerty kb and it doesn't bother me too much. The kb itself is quite nice...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masr1979:
The DroidX has a higher screen res than the Vibrant, so we would need to resize some images, at the very least... maybe mess around with some xmls? If you open up the apk as a zip file you'll see a folder called "res" which has all the images, but I remember that those "*9.png" files need to be edited a certain way in order for them to work. We could also shrink the apk a few if we delete unused ".dict" files, though I tried that as well as removing the folders for the unused languages and though it installed it wouldn't work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shznit:
Samsungs keyboard is awesome until it gives you seizure by constantly popping the prediction bar on and off. I would use it if it would just keep the bar enabled but i haven't figured out how to do that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SlimJ87D:
I can confirm that this theory of yours is incorrect.

I have the captivate, my friend has the vibrant. I do everything for him rooting and hacking wise since he doesn't know how.

When I put the keyboard on my phone the font is normal. Only your guys variant has tiny letters for some reason and this is most likely do to some other part of the software, not the resolution.

Our phones have the same almost everything besides case and antennas.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] temperbad:
Smart keyboard works great... make it look like android stock. Has true Multitouch and a dpad , can't beat that.....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masr1979:
Interesting, so the keys appear correctly on the captivate. What software could be causing this then? Maybe we need to make a comparison of the stock software on both devices. Being that they are both basically the same phone, I doubt that they have different drivers... well maybe we shouldn't assume that they are as identical as we think. After all, look at the issues Koush had with porting Clockwork to all the different variants.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Chalup:
I like swype for portrait mode and this keyboard for landscape. The reason is that I like to Swype with my thumb. I just tried the other day to make an ime that automatically switches between the two based on orientation, but it turns out to be impossible due to Android's security :(

Also, I have been trying Smart Keyboard Pro and so far like it more than the droid mt keyboard. If you are hesistant to install a keyboard file linked to from a forum, I'd recommend trying Smart Keyboard for 24 hrs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
It doesn't have higher Res, bigger screen, yes, but Not higher Res. On the vibrant, you get more ppi, you alsoxhave better screen, making it look better. Droid x keyboard works great on the nexus one, which has an identical res to the vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masr1979:
I seem to remember reading the droid x has a 480 x 854 vs the galaxy s' 480 x 800, but that's besides the point since I was made aware that it works fine on the Captivate. Now the question is, what's different on our vibrants that would cause this effect?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] designerfx:
Nothing to do with resolution.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] masr1979:
....... I feel this conversation is going nowhere. You're right though, so line up the firing squad to execute me for my putting forth my erroneus hypothesis.

hi i was wondering. i've been using CM6 lately updating to every nightly and i've noticed that with CM6 i can do a full wipe and when i sign in the market automatically starts downloading my apps that i had before the wipe.

now the question is, does the new ota rom/custom rom have this feature as well? i tried OMJ's froyo and AVA's froyo and neither one does this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
When I flashed CM6 it did this; when I flashed the leaked 2.2 rooted ROM, it did not do this. Personally I like the latter, because then I can just use Titanium to restore the things I wanted to keep.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trobb09:
The auto download of applications has nothing to do with CM6 vs. stock Froyo vs. other custom ROMs. This feature is part of Android 2.2. Some people love it, some people hate it. To skip the auto download of applications when you first flash a new ROM, just skip through the tutorial! By not signing into your Google profile right off the bat, you do not have to go through to process of re-downloading all of your applications. This is mainly beneficial to those (like myself) who utilize Titanium Backup and prefer to restore apps/data that way. This is also beneficial to those with slow Internet connections and bad coverage that need a quick way to restore their files after flashing.
