Not sure if this its related but my gallery is really messed up lol. The pictures show but I click them to preview and its another picture. Kinda weird.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Erm nevermind, I did a media scan and it fixed it. Still kinda weird lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Jeez I just tested that lol. I was going to say, no issues on my side. Still weird anyway- but then again your phone has never been normal.

Captivate with I9000 firmware and a vibrant kernel- so much identity crisis!
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I never did get fonts to work with ext2 lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Me either :o
[Captivate Android Development] wuxingwarrior3:
Hey zilch, you seem to be keeping up with both voodoo boards fairly well. What do you think about some beta testers claiming that they still experience a little lag with the complete fix? I was hoping this was going to be the end-all solution, yet there are still reports of sluggishness. Said testers have surmised its a RAM issue, would this be fixed with froyo? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Honestly, I still see a couple hiccups here and there, but it's nothing compared to how it was before. The RAM concerns might be valid, but it might also have to do with certain poorly coded apps or certain areas of the phone where Samsung may have crapped up.

I think at this point this fix knocks out all of the I/O problems, but what we're running into now is optimization problems with the Samsung firmware itself. Froyo will probably fix a lot of it with the addition of JIT on top of the many other Froyo optimizations, I'm also hoping Samsung will make adjustments here and there to their actual code to improve some of the jitters the phone has.

Basically we're not out of the woods yet, but this lag fix is a big improvement, and we're certainly nearing true cellular nirvana :D
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
you people(me included) are just greedy :p
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
All I know is that I love my phone over the iPhone 4 and their crappy iOS. I haven't had battery problems, GPS problems, and with the ext4 lagfix it is faster than my friends EVO4g... so if this fix is even better than the ext4 fix, then how can we complain?
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I agree, the older lag fix has a very noticeable improvement over stock and this lag fix has an even more noticeable improvement over the earlier lag fix. Especially when it comes to doing multiple tasks, there's little/no bogging.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
okay so... when is Beta testing going to be done?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It already is, just not the Captivate specific version yet. They're working on beta 2 atm, so I'd assume once it goes official Unhelpful will be porting the source into his kernel
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay then.

That sounds great.

I would be testing it out myslef right now, but for the next few days I can't afford to be without my phone in case of a mistake...
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Give it a shot when you get a chance, from what I said earlier basically what the earlier lagfix does for stock speed wise, this has a very noticeable increase over the lag fix even. You can literally go to the market and spam installing apps and you see almost no lag or slowdown.
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
So do any of our Galaxy S models actually have 512mbs of RAM or what. I'm hearing it confirmed that the Verizon model only has 300 and some odd megs of RAM. I mean in my opinion there's just not enough free ram after a fresh reboot.

I know my Nexus One shows twice the available RAM after fresh reboot.

My nexus will have like 280 free while my Captivate and my Vibrant only show about 170-185. That's significantly less.
[Captivate Android Development] naxir:
it has 512, you won't see it until froyo since the kernel will support HIGHMEM
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
Ah well thats good to hear. I wonder why Version opted to slack in the RAM department for their Galaxy S variant. Talk about a dumb decision if it in fact does turn out to be true.
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
Its actually an eclair issue. Not a samsung issue

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
all the galaxy s variants have 512, and none of them can utilize it all until Froyo...

no biggie, though, because free memory hasn't hurt me at all, and I have about 70 apps installed and use most of them fairly frequently. My main issue is storage lag and OS limitations... both of which go away with Froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] wuxingwarrior3:
Hey guys, if anyone is interested in keeping up with current voodoo progress (or reading a "spirited" debate over EXT2 vs. EXT4) then here's the official thread started by supercurio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774500&page=11

Not only is a lagfix in progress, but sc is also working on adjusting colors/brightness. This is great for users complaining of a blueish/greenish tint to the screen (myself included).
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Looks like supercurio is about to release beta 2 today (his twitter http://twitter.com/supercurio/) for the i9000 then vibrant tomorrow and sunday Captivate!!!! Well that's if he still going to release these a day apart for trouble shooting/ Q&A.

Plus he tweaked the LCD color setting and sharpness ...So a lot less artifacts and more flat(calibrated tones). I'm excited cause i am a graphic designer.

He also said he included something into the voodoo fix that will remain a secret till its released.

I'm excited!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah pretty exciting news :) I'll definitely be playing around with this once I get my claws into it
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
That is pretty exciting. Ive been waiting to hear some new progress on this for. The. Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] mesasone:
Are we going to have flash unhelpfuls kernel for this or will we be able to rock and roll with a stock rom?
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I am lead to believe that it will somehow come packaged together
[Captivate Android Development] andars05:
The ram limitation from what I've read is not because of lack of highmem support. I believe Froyo builds for the i9000 also show the same amount of RAM. I believe its because some of the ram is reserved for certain necessary functions, such as the GSM radio. I've also heard that there is an unnecessary ram disk on one of the mount points, which also takes up ram.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Have you spoken to unhelpful? Cause this would be the most awesome lag fix out there..even for those if us who have avoided the lag fixes that are out there now
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Unhelpful isn't saying a word, but I do know from both twitters AND talking to supercurio that Unhelpful is involved with the project... what that's going to mean ultimately though is still a mystery
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Yeah i tried getting a peep out of Unhelpful but like i said he is holding his cards really tight to the chest. I'm curious what the "thing that all geeks will love that he added to his fix" This is the real deal. I just think that curio is all about quality and that he dosn't want his project to be less then perfect and he want this thing integrated into "unhelpful's kernel" plus he is integrating Koush's modify Clockwork Recovery so this thing can get properly restored cause of the ext4 problem. This man in THOROUGH!!! Plus he got lcd calibration built in and something special he is keeping a secret...I'm hoping he adds BONZI BUddy to it...LOL j/k of course
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
In the words of the Hardy Brothers on South Park: "This is giving me a major Clue".

Can't wait for the weekend, Barça on Saturday Voodoo lagfix on Sunday, perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I got a raging clue!!!
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
That's right its a "raging" clue. Thanks for the correction.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Supercurio has got the website up now...http://project-voodoo.org/
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Beta2 Public Released!!! Lets hope UnHelpful is actually working on our captivate version!!
[Captivate Android Development] wuxingwarrior3:
How will we know when the Captivate version becomes available? When it is available, will it be added to other projects like SRE?
[Captivate Android Development] g0dzilla32:
look @ the website it will say when the captivate version is released... SRE is taken care of by dg its up to him if he will add it...
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I'm guessing we will have it in 2-3 days tomorrow will release vibrant then monday/ tuesday he will release captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
I'm running it now and its pretty decent. There's some brightness weirdness, but the colors look great. The phone flies though and other than the other i9000 kernel issues, works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
WELL VOODOO is moooving along quite nicely. Justanotherdeveloper just ported to the vibrant. Can't wait...
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Although to get HSUPA I think you'll still need to use the i9000 voodoo fix kernel....
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Any news on the captivate version? I read somwhere last week that it would be up on Sunday but no go. Ive been on and off the site but still only the I9000 version is up and available. I saw that they were having issues with the vibrant version.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Unhelpful is still working on it... I think he's probably trying to give his latest kernel revision some decent testing time before compounding potential issues with the lag fix kernel. Also keep in mind that the lagfix is only in beta 3 at the moment... I honestly wouldn't fault him if he waited for finished code rather than retreading it everytime a critical flaw is discovered.

These are just my suspicions though :) I know he's in the loop with it though
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
gracias senor. i will keep my eyes open
[Captivate Android Development] mesasone:
There is/was also a second developer working on a captivate kernel in the project voodoo IRC channel. Not sure how his work is coming along.

There was also some talk of creating a unified Galaxy S kennel with all of the improvements (ie: OC/UV, lag fix, touch button backlight notifications). Hopefully that will come to fruition.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
This might be the guy you're talking about:

"@supercurio thanks - hopefully I'll get Captivate working tonight if someone else doesn't get it first."
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Beta 4 is up. Any word on the capy version
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
Every time someone asks a question like that I'm reminded of my call center days. I would specifically say "Yes, it's a problem, it's being worked on, I don't know when it will be fixed." only to have the caller ask, "So do you know when it will be fixed?" :mad:

Patients people. They all know we want this, it'll be done when it's done. If not you have to answer a bunch of questions about how to restore bricked phones. Asking what the status is every day is about as useful as watching paint dry. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
@supercurio successful conversion to voodoo lagfix EXT4 using my native Captivate kernel! Testing now.​

Zilch already posted this link a few post up, but here it is again. http://twitter.com/atinm

He's currently having problems moving back and forth between ext4 & RFS, so he's not releasing it until that problem is fixed. Looking forward to it though. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Honestly is this response necessary? I know its being worked on but when its released it wont be on xda it will be through supercurios website which i dont check. There are those out there that do which is why i asked. It had been a couple of days since anyone posted in this thread so I thought i would.

This response is more informative. thanks draxionangel.
[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Sounds promising: https://twitter.com/atinm/status/24569979941
[Captivate Android Development] wpb2:
I'm not sure you can "watch paint dry". How will you know from looking at it whether or not is has dried. I think you would have to touch it instead. I think the saying should be "touching wet paint every few minutes until it is dry".

And while i'm at it "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" WTF is that? I don't know anyone that has killed even 1 bird with 1 stone, much less 2 birds with the same stone. The cliche should be "Kill 2 birds with a 12-ga shotgun" and even that would be impressive.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
I hope it gets done today.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I know people who have killed thousands of birds with 1 stone... the stone just happened to be an axe and the birds were all chickens.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
Its finally here.
[Captivate Android Development] wpb2:
LMFAO!....
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I am sure you can kill two birds with one stone. All you have to do is pick up the same stone and keep throwing till the second bird is also dead. Nowhere was it specified that the idea was to kill two birds with one stone and a single throw.
[Captivate Android Development] Divinedark:
Test!!! Test!!! Test!!!

Let us less ballsy know how it works. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Smooth as buttah says this observer :D

Paired with JH7

I'd expect DG will have a new SRE incorporating this sooner or later, so those less valiant than myself could go that route

Very nice work here.

i'll keep an eye on the battery life.
[Desire General] williap:
I decided to email Sky this morning to ask that now their Sky + app has been released for Android, when we can expect to have their Sky score centre and Sky news centre one. This is what they replied so I wouldn't hold our breath anytime soon.

Dear Peter

Thank you for your email regarding Sky on Android Mobile phones.

I can confirm that providing mobile TV for the Android phone is on the road map, probably spring next year before it is launched.

At the moment we don’t currently have the rights to mobile TV, sports news or football centre on the android. The plan is to hopefully provide these in the future however no dates or timescales are available.

I am sorry that my response is not more favourable however if you require further assistance please let me know.

Kind regards

I've already emailed back how they cannot have the rights to release both these apps as with Android already having the Sky + and Sky news, surely their must be some agreement already in place with Google.
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
Funny I emailed them about a year ago and got the same reply then.

However I tweeted Sky Sports the other day and they replied almost straight away by DM telling me that they are looking to port their sky sports apps (2 news and score centre) to Android ASAP, however currently cannot give any time scales.
[Desire General] williap:
Can you post that response here so that I can go back to this woman and ask to refer my question to perhaps somebody who understands what an 'app' is?

Hey

im trying to install another ROM on my device for the first time.

If I understand the tutorial something is to do before:

- downgrade

- root

- new ROM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VikingDK:
Hi all,

I've so far stayed away from flashing through ODIN,

but I'm looking into it now and have a quick question.

I understand that the .pit files handle the partitioning of the internal SD (right?),

but what's the difference between the various versions of the .pit files?

s1_odin_20100512.pit

s1_odin_20100513.pit

s1_odin_20100803.pit

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VikingDK:
anyone?

/10char
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexzander:
I read somewhere (on xda dev) that the difference between them is that they are for different partition sizes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ancient_One:
That's what I understand as well.

Most of the leaked firmware is running on 512 PIT so leave the others alone for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richthofen:
As far as I know .pit files are only used to tell Odin which file names to program to which "partition".

Even if separate images are used, Odin will treat them as a single image.

For example .pit file tells Odin to program modem.bin file to MODEM "partition", zImage to KERNEL "partition", etc.

If you use separate images (3-pack, CODE, MODEM, CSC), you can for example put CSC to CODE, MODEM to CSC and vice versa. Nothing odd will happen as long as you don´t tamper with the file names inside the tarballs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VikingDK:
OK, cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusCrazy:
Can someone tell me if the 512.pit file is generic?

Willl the one that has been used on the Galaxy S 1900 work with the Nexus S GT-I9020.

The .pit file I have is named: s1_odin_20100512.pit

This Is very important as it may help a couple hundred people restore there IMEI numbers and un-bricking them.

Thanks in advance

Used search and be informed. :)

Next time search. This isn't a development thread.

As stated 512 is the pit to use in nearly every case.

Angry Birds Begin Hatching On Android

This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make Angry Birds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.

Please note that this will be the beta version of the application which is still undergoing final testing before official release. Angry Birds Lite Beta is presented on an "as is" basis, and we cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device.

Angry Birds Lite Beta will run on second generation Android devices and upwards.

We have tested the game on a number of Android devices, and we would love to hear your feedback on how the game is performing on your personal device. Should you have any problems running Angry Birds Lite Beta, you can simply click the report a bug button in the main menu of the game to provide us with direct feedback.

We want to ensure that we will publish the best game ever released on Android, and we hope that this beta version will prove to our Android fans that Angry Birds has been worth the wait!

More information on Friday when we have the game available on Android Market.
