Game works, but...

Hi!

Ive got psx4droid v1.5 in my galaxy s, froyo. No root, no custum rom.

Games works fine, final fantasy 7. Played it all throu.

But final fantasy 9, it as playable as ff7 but with more sounds glitches.

Then I get to Dali and have to get on the plain to take off, after fight with black wizard no.2. In the FMV the whole thing crashes, the phone doesnt crash, and the psx4droid closes. It is really a shame that it does accur and I cant seem to get by that part. Ive tried two other roms, Ive tried a newer and an older versioner of psx4droid. But it doesnt seem to help

Anyone knows how to get pass that? Maybe link me to a savespot, save file, after that I could accept.

So a tip, dont just type if the game works. Also please say how far you have played.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slider2828:
Hey guys, you don't have to pay for V2 as stated in his download. If you paid once and you update, those files are V2 files even though it has a V1 build. So dun worry you are getting the latest software.

Right now there is no compatibility list out there, but its very good. I played like Metal Slug X, I heard Metal Gear Solid works good, FF7 is almost perfect, I play also NFL Blitz that works fine.....

It also has a lot to do with the kernel you are running as well.... Hope that helps. I've been on this since like pre V1 release and I like it more and more....

I'm getting this on 1.6 Running Perception 10.1 on my i896 captivate.

It's not every time with 1 start in 5 or so getting the boot screen up and the game running.

I've only tried FF7, and it has worked so far with little troubles (in game battle music runs at about 1/10th normal speed, in battle gameplay slows down somewhat)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slider2828:
I think its ROM specific. I had the same exact problems on my Galaxy S, until I went to Paragon and it sped up instantly.... no problems.... Give other ROMs a try but it returned to normal after I got off some roms.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.... I dunno I got that problem once. Maybe it wasn't a clean system....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liorkesos:
Currently from our initial tests only video can be delivered to an external monitor through the hdmi port.

What would it mean to develop a rom or an application which will route all of it's screen experience to an external monitor?

If there is an existing ROM that can deliver these capabilites , we'd be happy to root the evo and use it.

We have some in-house android talent but we will be considering a bounty if high end development might be needed for customizing a rom or even guiding us by mail on how to tackle the challenge.

best regards

Lior
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bradleyw801:
So far I have only seen one development team that has even hinted at the undertaking, and they are vague about how much effort they will put into it.

Cyanogen hinted early on that he was going to implement bluetooth profiles for HID support, which he did, but the mouse only works in portrait mode. When you switch to landscape, left and right becomes up and down, etc.

He also hinted that he would get HDMI working. Thus allowing you to project your phone UI onto a TV or DVI/HDMI monitor, and use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to control it.

He also hasn't made any progress on getting 4G working with his ROM.

If he were to get all of that working, I would donate a whole paycheck! In the meantime, I would be glad to see some other developers jump in and try to implement it. Either in his ROM, or through their own methods.

Bounty's are usually kind of a joke and stir up unconstructive comments and feedback. I would like to start by finding a dev that thinks this is possible, and wants to try, then PM him/her about donations.

I have enough space, and i cant put a 4gb movie on my phone, 720p mkv.

Im assuming the phone is FAT not NTFS how can i change this or get the movie on the phone?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
You're right, it is fat32, so no, I don't think that you can. I believe that all sim cards are formatted as fat32. You could go and try to format it to ntfs via windows, I think that could work?
[Vibrant General] designerfx:
Hmm. I remember from G1 you could format as EXT3/4, but edit: the other half had to be Fat32. Damn.

The thing is, you might be able to format it to NTFS, but that doesn't guarantee that the phone has NTFS support
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Yea, But if he's willing to try, he'd find out lol
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
We need a custom kernel before we can start adding ext support...
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
The phone DOES NOT have ntsc support. The only way you're going to get that movie on you phone is to down-convert it. Handbrake can take care of that for you. Besides, who needs a 1080p bluray rip in their phone.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
...wat?

They're talking about file systems, not tv broadcast formats.

Unless you typoed NTFS.

Also, 4gb movie files are not 1080p Bluray rips. More like 8-9gb for a 1080p, 4gb is a 720p, and you CAN tell the difference between SD and HD on the Vibrant's screen. Not so much on a lesser screen.

Unfortunately for the OP, the phone doesn't support NTFS, so you will need to re-encode the video to a lower bit-rate to get it on the sdcard or internal memory.
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
My bad, I meant NTFS. It's my day off and I'm just not waking up. My brain's not fully awake just yet. I do have some 4gb 1080p BD rips. They're made for the PS3, since it has the same issue with fat32. And yeah, you really can tell the difference between HD and SD on the Vibrant's screen. Regardless, down-converting it to 2.5-3gb isn't going to drop quality too bad.
[Vibrant General] Lemur19:
I thought android has a 2GB limit on file sizes.
[Vibrant General] pychobj2001:
Get mkv2vob its for the playstation 3 but it will make your dts mkv's ac3 for you and split them for fat32 use and put it in a mpeg container by default.
[Vibrant General] mystycs:
Thanks for the info guys =) Downconvert it is
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
No reason not to anyways other than saving time since the phone can only do 800x480. If you downconvert you got more space to fit other movies in.

So which rooting method and firmware rom can I use for this phone?

I am trying to get t-zones working on this phone (getting internet for $7/mth). The stock rom it always detects and won't let me use it. I heard Cynogen it works. So that is the rom I want, but I am not sure which phone I have? 32A?32B? How can I tell?

So, all those who have upgraded the firmware to Froyo, please answer this.....

Is your GPS/Google Map finally working in perfect condition?

If the GPS still have problem then i think we can probably say with high degree of certainty that it is a hardware based problem....

I mean with all the firmwares that they have leaked so far, wouldnt fixing the GPS issue be priority number one for them? If it was software/firware fixable, then i would think that they would have solve it by now....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] heygrl:
If they haven't fixed it yet for us on Eclair what would make you think FroYo fixes the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bajo76:
The next official release will be Froyo, so it makes sense they do not work at eclair firmware anymore. So if they fix GPS it will be with the next official firmware and this should be Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] heygrl:
They need to patch the GPS before September. If they had a patch we would be hearing about an OTA and it would be included in later leaked firmware revisions.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] widjaja74_us:
Yes sirs..... i sold mine couple of weeks ago ...

i couldnt find any good or better android phone ever since... all have their flaws in one way or another... so if they fixed the GPS issue, i might go back to this phone because it still offers the best features compared to others....

i'll probably wait to see until september wether they have fixed this GPS issue or not.....

Iphone 4 seems to have the phone signal problems taken care off in their later batches of production phones... so i might consider that phone too if that is really the case.....But still, i hate the thought of having to cut up my sim cards just to be able to fit in the phone... it will give me problems when i want to use the sim on other phones.... i think the use of different size sim card is totally dumb move on steve jobs.....its a differentiation feature that offers no benefits at all but headache....But coming from someone who said "you are holding it the wrong way" about a phone, it is no surprise for me......

GPS on my Galaxy S works perfectly on all firmware, so if gps does not work on yours it must be a hardware problem. Take it back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pepitodequetequejas:
Why with froyo, if is a software issue must be broadcom driver problem libgps.so ,

android interface with driver gps.h is clear(http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/gps.html).

So you "only" have to replace the driver and possibily related config files.

If GPS is capable of 24 satellites (bcm4751 seems a good GPS chip) simultaneus tracking why only can lock 8 (this is not explainable).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alain57:
yeah sure .... using the GPS with GPS test in your house and having a fix in 10 sec is the main use of a GPS ... at least for all people saying it work

Just for information, the main use of a GPS is for car navigation, and there the GPS is kind of useless .....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] buddy01:
It's more likely that the flaw is in software than hardware, and samsung has said multiple times that they are looking into it, so i bet there will be a fix for it.

The problem with the iPhone is that you can't fix a design flaw, without new design, understand? See, when you connect 2 different antennas with your finger, you kill them both.

Anyhow, if you even consider iOS over Android, then i guess Android itself just isn't for you. The thing in Android is customization and if you don't like that, then you're better off with Apple products. I tend to recommend iPhone for girls and hipster friends, because they don't understand anything about personality or care about the latest and greatest hardware.

[offtopic rant]

In fact, Apple products scare me a little bit; so much fanaticism. I happen to work in a web development agency and we have to use mac's. Everyone except me in my office praises Apple and i absolutely hate it, mainly because my WIN 7 machine at home is just, well, multiple times faster and better for everything (crapbook in work is the latest and greatest). To me it seems that they are in some sort of vista (before SP1) hating time continuum; they can't escape, even though snowleopard is a joke update to the previous cute cat. They seem to hate all Microsoft, because of IE6 and vista(before sp1); even though they have **** like iTunes, QuickTime and well OSX(my honest opinion, have to use snowleopard every day).

[end rant]

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bajo76:
Is it for sure that our Galaxy is using this chip?

I also think that it is an driver problem. while starting gps test at the first moment it locks satelites with signal under 20 snr, but it loose them again and do not lock satelites under 20 snr anymore.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
JM2 made it better for me too, at least to the point where its reliable enough for car navigation.

It's still not good enough though when you run gps test, it should lock more birds and at lower snr's then its able to right now.

the question is: have you applied the lag fix from mimocan? because if the gps error is fixed in JM2 but still present in the kernel source which samsung has released, you will just re-apply it with mimocan's kernel.

http://theandroidrevolution.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-tips-tricks-samsung-galaxy-s.html

it works great and gives an instant gps lock.

on gps test gets 8-9 satellites now , when previously i could max get 1-2, that too not connect.

the fix essentially involves changing custom config to auto config in supl settings.

outside this fix i also had operation mode as ms based and had skyhook on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chluk2425:
Half fixed?

what i found is, if you only use the navigation program to fix your position, i hardly get the exact location;

what i did is: use GPS Information to get a fix (that program aquire position fairly quick, like 5-10 seconds will fix your position while programs like google or marwick will take around a miniute but still not exact), then close GPS Information and open navigation programs, that will give me an exact location (Google map doesn't show the small circle indicating an estimate location anymore)

I've tested this in Hong Kong, that works for me, the down side is, that program will keep your GPS, I mean, the little satellite, next to your 3G network signal, on, which will keep draining your battery until you use Level 2 Memory purging in task manager

hope helps :)

JM2 GPS seems to be fixed

JP3 GPS doesn't work correctly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sjdean:
Too all the noobies, the problem isn't the GPS isn't getting a lock, the problem is that the lock then isn't stable, it fluctuates, and it doesn't maintain the lock.

This causes huge problems while out walking and driving.

XXJF3 just spat out the signal to whatever program you were running. If you lost GPS lock, you may see zig zag lines plotted all over your MyTracks map.

XXJG5 refines the issue in buffering the signal. When you lose lock, it may think you're now 50 metres away, and so it seems to take last known good and then work work out a path to where it thinks you must be now.

XXJM2 however, when you lose lock, takes last known good and keeps you there and plots a path based on I guess previous speed and heading according to the compass.

XXJM2 is great for walking, a very accurate track.

But when you're out driving, if you lose lock, you get cut corners, overshoots, you may even see bizarre track backs along the same path.

What have been the mooted fixes?

MS-Based - this I presume turns on A-GPS - great, except it doesn't tell you you're precise location.

Skyhook - This is just another fancy A-GPS mechanism that also uses WiFi.

SUPL Server - Change to supl.google.com - this will aid initial fix I believe.

Delete secgps.conf - This file isn't actually read by anything as far as Im aware. I've gone into LbsTestMode, changed settings to random values, deleted secgps.conf, rebooted to see a default secgps.conf and yet the setting remain in LbsTestMode. Guys, the information must be stored elsewhere. £10 to the person who finds it.

Change time server in gps.conf - I think this is a red herring. After all, the time should be collected from the GPS Satellite.

Turn off "Wireless Networks" - Ok, this does seem to have an impact, seemingly instructing the phone to stick with GPS more.

Unfortunately, this device suffers still from I think three main problems.

1) stabilitiy of gps signal and lock

2) inability to lock onto satellites < 20 SnR

3) inability to lock onto more than 8 satellites

I do have two further things that may help to improve but not fix your signal.

1) delete /data/gps - this gets recreated on bootup. as well as secgps.conf which is of no consequence, almanac and ephemeris data is stored here in .sto files.

2) Then, make the following changes (Im not going to tell you how, if you need to know how, you're not ready for this change):

The reason I make this change, is because I note the section previously which advise:

So I took out BrcmRFwildBase, BrcmRFclkDiv, anBrcmRFclkRefHz

Certainly doesn't have a negative impact.

Additionally, change the normal job to this:

To be honest, Im not sure of the effectiveness of these. They don't have any detrimental impact, and since changing them, Im quite frequently getting 8 satellites +30SnR, on the way home, 8 satellites, with 4 +40SnR.

But I can change the enable_low_power back to true and won't see any difference, so Im confused. Maybe it's just the first change to gll.

Hello, everybody.

It's partially offtopic but still...

I've been thinking here... Maybe somebody knows how is the situation with GPS on Samsung Wave? It looks like Galaxy S and Wave have almost identical hardware (screens are different). Something tells me that at least GPS hardware could be equal for sure. If Wave does not have GPS issues then at least we can hope for GPS to get improved because that would mean that hardware is ok and the problem is software that can be updated one day. Maybe that could help those people who want to return their otherwise nice phone.
