To be fair, I don't think we've had any legit bricks on our variants, just people who don't know how to recover from a bad flash. The thing that *really* throws people is that after they flash (even unsuccessfully) an international firmware the key combo changes from both vol up/down + USB to vol down + USB- this immediately incites a panic response in which the user becomes completely panicked and unreasonable in most cases ;) I manage to guide the ones that come to the Captivate forums back to functioning devices most of the time though :D

It really is silly to have so many variants of the same device though, the only differences are mostly annoyances, but Samsung really overcomplicated the process for themselves- especially when it comes to new firmware releases... instead of having one solid team they need a separate team for each device :confused:

Don't even get me started on the stuff AT&T does to their phones though, no sideloading, kernel limitation on modem files to purposely disable HSUPA- it's a disaster- We do come out on top in the pure looks department though ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Yea that I don't understand at all. AT&T seems to be the worst of them at that.

The product differentiation I think is mostly the fault of the carriers demanding their own special versions though, as the U.S. seems to be the only country with all those different models (Canada does have one carrier with the Vibrant I think). Everywhere else seems to be the bone stock Galaxy S i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hey guys. I managed to flash beta1 of the lagfix. T'was posted thru a link. So far so good. Exceptionally fast and responsive. But i couldnt connect to the app market. Rebooted twice coz a prompt popup said. I have low memory on my internal sd card.red micro sd on the notification tab. I managed to fix it with reboot. Will donate to supercurio once bugs are fiixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cba1986:
You are surely doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
Why do people keep saying we have 320 free and system uses the rest? What system? We have 320 available and system uses 200 and were left with 100+ free which keeps dropping due to memory leaks till it either reboots or dumps memory and reloads the screen. Atpk helps but that's another topic. If we had 320 free do you think anyone would complain?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
I have market issues as well actually. I get "Download was unsuccessful, please try again" for everything. Tried rebooting and killing the market, restarting it.

I'm on JM7 with supercurio's Beta 1 fix.

Is the market down right now or is this a legitimate bug? I may try removing the lag fix, doing a fresh flash and reinstalling the lag fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bratfink:
Video?

Just wondering if someone could post a link to this youtube video? Wanna see how fast this thing really is!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc_PbQe1WVk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYcRq6ln0fc

Could a beta tester make a video showing app loading times (Samsung + 3rd party)? Touiteur did take a few seconds to open up in the second video.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
It's fast. I prefer it over RyanZA's so far because the normal memory allocation shows up for Storage, Programs, etc. Quadrant scores really mean **** all to be honest. Particularly when it comes to every day use.

If you can give me 30 min to an hour, I'll make a high resolution video and post it to YouTube. I'm removing the lag fix and fresh flashing to JM7 again before reapplying. I forgot to remove the lag fix after reflashing the last time and I think it might be the root of my market problems.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like there's already a video.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Looking forward to it! :) Please cover any and all aspects you think are worth covering, no matter how small! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Looks like the above poster beat me to it :p

But I'll make one anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toca79:
Same issue here, the phone is a lot snappier than stock but not as the video, especially when installing apps from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cba1986:
You can try undoing the voodoo fix. Doing a factory reset, clear cahe and reflashing to see if it is fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lmfwtw:
hopefully a full lagfix for 2.2 will be out soon
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Doing that as we speak. I ran the remove script using the blank file, then did a clear cache/factory reset.

Then did a fresh re-flash of JM7, and going to root then add the lag fix again. Rooting after applying supercurio's lagfix doesn't seem to work so I root before applying it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Yep, it was my flashing over with a new JM7 without removing the lag fix first that probably borked it.

Removed lagfix with the nofile script. Did factory reset/wipe cache. Flashed fresh JM7, rooted it, then reapplied supercurio's fix.

Market working perfect now.

I are tard. :cool: :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cba1986:
Glad you can fix it.

Sadly i can't offer Bounty because Paypal doesn't let me transfer money from my bank account to my Paypal account. Country limitations. Only from am US account. I live in Argentina so...

Only beta testing for me. Sorry Supercurio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
I had the same problem last night... cept when I reflashed and tried to use the voodoo kernel it was causing everything to FC, but that might be due to using two different firmware versions instead of just a reflash. Took me about an hour to start digging around supercurio's posts until I found the gem with disable-lagfix. What a headslapper :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Huh

I ran the uninstall with the no extension file. Verified that it worked, since Quadrant gave me the old crappy 900 score. Then I did a wipe cache and factory reset. Flashed a new JM7, did another wipe cache/factory reset, rooted, reinstalled the lagfix.

All the programs I had installed from the market are still there. wtf? :confused:

It's clearly not completely removing anything when I do a fresh wipe. I even did a fresh wipe with re-partition, and all the programs are still here from before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
How are you using this on a captivate? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
Easy! :D Just ditch the Captivate firmware! JM1R3 + Voodoo kernel + JG8 modem (To circumvent AT&T crippling our HSUPA >=( ). Sure my screen orientation is busted, external SD isn't detected, and I have to reflash stock kernel if I need to use an update.zip- but other than that it's smooth sailing ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
Weird, there was a similar report from someone doing this on a Captivate, but I chalked it up to him not running the disable-lagfix first. I haven't personally had this happen though so maybe it's an intermittent glitch of some kind
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
Since I installed the voodoo fix I can't connect my phone via Kies anymore .. I never had problems with Kies before, but now everytime I connect my phone Kies says it can't connect my phone while it is usb debugging mode .. I checked on my phone but usb debugging isn't checked ... Very weird
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
I'm wondering if maybe the theory that a stock Odin flash won't touch an EXT4 partition is true, I know a stock kernel is incapable of interacting with it, but maybe that EXT4 file remains and as soon as you use a Voodoo kernel it resurrects what was left behind. I suppose this theory could be tested by applying the fix, doing an Odin wipe, and then checking your available internal storage space to see if it's consistent with what a real stock install would give you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
Holy moley now THAT is a round-about fix :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
EDIT: Nevermind, moved this to it's own thread so that discussion doesn't get mixed up with bounties! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
EDIT: Oops :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titovic:
Had the same case of old apps refusing to go away when XWJM7 is re-flashed even after doing a wipe cache/factory reset on Recovery and following a disable-lagfix-flash-voodoo-again run. Finally got it stable after doing an extra Privacy->Factory data reset. All installed apps we're nuked but those in /system. Superuser.apk works again and i'll be installing important apps before applying Voodoo again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arj03:
When I try to flash it seems that Odin is stuck in File Analysis.

It normally doesn't take that long and the file is really small. Anyone with the same problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arj03:
Found the problem. Fixed now. Booting JM5 with lagfix :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
There wont be as the source code for 2.2 is not available at this time and 2.2 has not been officially released.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllTheWay:
Nuke from Orbit...it's the only way to be sure. Quoting from Aliens...great movie.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vinnie8018:
Me too

$10 for a full
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
count me in for $5 for a full fix. But $10 for a full fix without any hassle, with just one click of a button support :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
I'm good for $10 USD.

And this method SHOULD be easily ported over to the Captivate and T-Mobile Vibrant as well, so you might want to ping those guys to see if they'll chip in as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dirk1978:
Have to say I've just eliminated lag on my galaxy s by just uninstalling the facebook app..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rolphez:
Count me in too $5/$10
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
there already is a fix for this.. the fix that moves the data to dbdata... there is a script you once rooted copy to system and run once and that is it as long as you dont install huge apps.. i have no lag at all on any app opening..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hcarrega:
Same here 10$ for full and simple fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bazzo2006:
My donation

I would give 5$ for an efficient and final solution that fix the lag problem.

Bye
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] satta:
$15 for a fix IF it

does not require modification of the external sdcard

can quickly be adapted for new ROMs, and

is compatible with backup apps like MyBackup or Titanium. That is, backup/restore must work regardless of whether the fix is applied or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Wow bounty is getting really high!

:) This gets thing up to speed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Lol at this thread..bountys are so annoying and unrealible simply because, just because your offering money dosnt mean that a kernel dev will pop out of thing air and say "hey il fix it for 1000000000000000$", things dont work that way, its not that easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Agreed. Almost all developers do it cuz they like doing it and not for money. However to change this thread into a bounty to buy a i9000 for a Dev like wesgarner might b worthwhile.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jimbob1981:
ten chars!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Exactly my point. Wonder if cyanogen would support it if we got him this phone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Well it sure makes it more interesting. And bounty's do work! because for some WM HTC phones they offered bounty for a android port and devs did it!

Let's see... if no dev fixes it! then we don't need to pay bounty! it's as easy as that!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlazerRazor:
It looks like there is a fix underway. Look in the thread talking about this issue - they got quadrant scores of 2700+ with the applied fixes. Now we just need an easy fix for the noobs ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eduard3040:
Ill donate 50$ for the fix. Im sick of messing with this phone. Id rather spend my time at work than sit here messing with something that's supposed to just work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
I contribute not for money but for community, this thread need to be closed or deleted.

Wait this phone is very new we need time to read cpu specifications, rfs ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hcarrega:
I agree
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Well actually this is just support from the community. Eitherway i'm also supporting the cause of buying a respected dev phone. Whatever fixes the lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kemal_ob:
how did you fixed your problem. I too have problem flashing the voodoo lagfix. First of all i flashed my galaxy s with JM1, repartition clicked. first reboot was a success, then i turned my phone off and put it in download mode, start odin, connect the phone then i select the pda file with voodoo lagfix and click start. After that odin just closed it self. Does anybody has the same problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tranhq:
my odin crashes when i try to flash.

currently on jm6
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Where is the beta kernel or the update.zip? I only can see the source package on his github page?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Removed. Too many useless morons flashed it and then screwed it up and complained.... Pm me if you want a copy but make sure you know what you are doing......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dckiwi:
I had same prob. Try another pc, one without kies.

(for crashing odin fix)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
Anybody else experience the same problem ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Beta 1 was solid about it's main feature but a non-planned situation (re-flashing a whole firmware without disabling the lagfix before) got stuck some people who didn't come to IRC to read instructions.

That's essentially the only bug report I have, plus an unconfirmed issue with the Wifi auto sleep.

That's why I put beta1 offline because it wasn't meant to become "public".

I'll publish beta2 as soon as it will be ready, in a few days max, and it will be immune to this situation :)

I'm sorry if you're deceived temporary but trust me it's part of a plan to improve user experience by a bit of quality control.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Try to activate the proper USB mode after unlocking your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RADLOUNI:
me too

yes i have the same problem too, kies detects the phone always in debugging mode although debugging is disabled in settings

removed the voodoo fix because of that

other than the above problem, this voodoo fix is MAGIC
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikelyon:
I can confirm the issue with the wifi auto sleep. I forgot to disable wifi last night and looking at the phone this morning i was surprised about my battery drain.

Switching on the screen the wifi was already connected and not in sleep mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bandis710:
I tried that allready .. Usb debugging is off , usb settings is set to Kies ..Still Kies keeps saying my phone is in debugging mode ... I know Kies is very quirky but never had a problem with Kies before ..;

Just thought I would report it, because it happened after applying voodoofix .. If you say Voodofix can not cause this problem ..Then I have to look furhter into it ..

I apologize Curio .. The problem was related to Kies after all ... Uninstalled Kies , cleaned my registry reinstalled kies and my phone was recognized again ... I am sorry I misreported this problem ... Just bad luck I gues it happened right after I applied your voodoo fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Orcie:
I cannot understand how you could ****up a flash dat is as easy as this. Just factory reset the phone or flash new firmware. Afterwards flash the file from this topic with odin with 803 pit file without repart....

I can report a working beta1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ichengwan:
how to use "voodoo_lagfix-GT-I9000_beta_1_ramdisk.tar" ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Orcie:
Are u kidding?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
You just wait for the higher quality beta2 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RADLOUNI:
no kies connnection

Hi Curio

any idea why kies connection does not work after applying the voodoo fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
ok let's be clear :

(OFFLINE) BETA1 IS NOT SUPPORTED

I need time to work on the beta2 ;)

If you're not able to provide your own support, don't install the private beta1.

PS: you can still come in the irc channel #project-voodoo to say hello
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
Thanks for the update, take your time buddy, constantly monitoring your tweets for beta2 :D...

Feedback for beta1: No issue runs like a dream :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
One post so far. Reasonably dumb question. My recommendation to the guy.....DON'T USE IT AT ALL!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Yep same here. Is there a fix for the Wifi sleep or anything we can try? I've re-partitioned and flashed so many times that the lagfix is long gone, yet the Wifi still won't sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
ewok, you've got mail
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
OMG... people are really risking bricking their phones...

If you don't have the knowledge don't do it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
The reason is simple: the firmware is the problem, not the Voodoo kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Maybe the problem hasnt to do with the lag fix? did you create the lag fix undo file just to be sure?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Any firmware I try now has the problem.

No, I didn't undo it the proper way, which was a stupid thing to forget, I admit that, and flashed without using disable-lagfix. At the moment it now seems that the Wifi not sleeping is a permanent thing, regardless of what I try, which one again I admit is because of my stupidity. Just wondering what else I can try..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
Switch the phone from kies mode to storage mode a couple times and it will sort itself out. I have mine set to 'always ask' and kies connects just fine. I believe this is the firmware and not related to voodoo btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Then undo it just for fun and test if the problem is still there. Or flash the kernel again and then undo it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Have you done a wipe or factory reset?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
Everything I can think of that should've resolved this. Factory resets, the 2767*3855 combo, different firmwares, reformat/repartition. Even reinstalling the lagfix and then uninstalling the right way using disable-lagfix. As far as I can see, there is no trace of this kernel on the phone, but then again, I guess there must be something left behind that I can't see. The question is what...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Do you got my mail, ewok? I have the feeling that they dont were sent. -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
When youve done all of this, there CAN be no rest of the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lpy:
That's what I thought. And that's why I can't understand why the problem remains. Other people have also reported the Wifi problem directly after the lagfix, but I'm not sure whether they have been able to fix it. I don't know what more I can do at this stage..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Wait for the new beta and dont forget to turn off your wifi, when you dont need it.

And i hope you know that the wifi goes to sleep after 5 to 10 minutes not after a few minutes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rajendra82:
Supercurio:

I know you are very busy with coding and testing beta2, but when you get a moment, can you update us Captivate owners regarding the information on the potential port being done by Unhelpful. Your last forum post on this issue (#308) indicated that you were still waiting for an answer from him. Are we Captivate owners going to get a taste of some of that voodoo magic soon, or are we going to get left behind again (not your fault, just tired of the CM6 team and everyone else jumping all over the Vibrant only).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jim_panse:
Wesgarne makes CM6 vor the Vibrant. ;) The I9000 is left out by CM6.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zilch25:
Just let the man code, once it gets out of beta (hell maybe sooner) Unhelpful will use the source to port it over to our kernel. Patience! The more time he spends answering forum questions and PMs the less time he has to actually tweak the code and work out the bugs :)

Give it a week or two, I'd rather wait a little longer and have a clean, polished end-product than to have it rushed out the door with funky issues :D

(Besides, since we're both waiting on the Captivate port I'd imagine Unhelpful would have a better idea on the status of that- but most likely we're waiting on stable source before the ports start rolling)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rajendra82:
Serenity Nao!

I was just wanting him to say it's coming. Then I can whip someone else (once you put it down to flash a new firmware). :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
To bad the download link is removed for beta 1 :) i am happy using it on my SGS! but i wan't to flash it on someone elses phone but the fix is at home and i'm at work :( can somebody send it to me please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eikka85:
sorry to bother again with this same stupid question ( i feel like a total retard) but how the hell i remove this lagfix ? i did create a folder named "disable-lagfix" but nothing happened...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
You need to create a empty file with no extension named disable-lagfix..

could you send me the .tar please? :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achraf06:
Don't create a folder, create a file without extension
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Tnx guys for sending me the fix :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrissyg123:
where does this file go? on the root of the internal sd card? when/how does it disable the lagfix? when you reboot the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] emelie:
yes and yes
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Guys just wait for supercurio to release this officially, and you'll have an app that enables/disables the EXT4, downloads and installs the kernel for you, etc etc. Plus, there might be problems with the beta that could cause you a lot of grief if you don't know what you're doing.

Just wait for supercurio! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
haha, sense says to wait... urge says to go for it ;)

But it works so nice, wonder if the beta2 has improvements on performance or just installation/usage :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
installation/usage/bug fixes
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] °Dexter°:
Check all the passages to uninstall (eventually),then:use disable-lagfix file,wipe everything/every way (especially reset from privacy tab,seems more effective than other methods),then flash other normal firmwares? Or is it better to flash a stock firm and then all the wipe stuff? I admit my idiocy installing this without being informed about kernel "treatment" (i thought it would have been easy and harmless like all update.zip installs,erased by a simple reflash)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
1. Create /sdcard/disable-lagfix

This can be done easily with

echo "bla" > /sdcard/disable-lagfix

2. Reboot the phone. It will take a long time, do not pull out the battery.

3. Flash another kernel or just leave it now if you want to keep your data

or

Flash another firmware which will overwrite the kernel and your data
