[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyNT:
ok so looking at some other threads trying to figure this out, looks like I may need to flash new radios.

Have some questions:

In one tutorial it says to flash newest radio BEFORE flashing new custom rom, any issue with me doing it now AFTER I have flashed custom rom?

Do I just take the latest radios from this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and put them on my sdcard, and boot into recovery and flash em??

Toast had a post saying to do that, but one step says "Reboot to recovery and run .sh or .bat file to gain custom recovery"

Is this just holding vol down and power to get to custom recovery? What is this run .sh or .bat stuff? Also what's the difference between Radio and NV one's listed on that site?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyNT:
well flashed the newest radio and wimax (not NV cuz still couldn't figure out what exactly that was) and didn't brick anything :p and wimax mac is stil correct, but still no 4g when im in area that should be getting it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hairongreenfire:
I ended up wiping the fresh rom and flashed the evio one and now I have blazing fast 4G, maybe the fresh rom just has issues with 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
Maybe just a clean wipe will do the trick... I flashed the newest ota and wiped everything and my 4g magically started working.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmicjoke:
was curious if somebody could give me a run down of what the differences between the various king's kernels are, and what my best options would be for extending battery life w/o too much performance loss regarding setting up setcpu.

if anyone w/ extensive experience regarding such matters was feeling inspired to write up a guide, i think that would be totally rad for the community, eheh...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwoarang626:
i notice that if i have only 1GB left on my storage card ,, my pictures get deleted just like that ,,, i had about 2500 pics and now i have 1400 ,, how can i fix this ,, this is a very very big problem ....

PLEASE HELP !!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
I had a similar problem with pictures disappearing, but it stopped after I removed the 3D Gallery app... Do you have this installed?

I'm not 100% sure about that being the cause, as I did post about this a few days back, but I don't recall anyone else suggesting they had the same problem.

I'd be interested to know if it's relevant to you though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwoarang626:
yes i have gallery 3d ,, ill delete it and see if the problem will come back ,,,,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
That's interesting, because although as I said, I'm not 100% sure that was the problem, before removing the 3D Gallery, I restored my missing images and they were gone again within a couple of days.

It was the appearance of duplicate folders within the 3D Gallery app that led me to suspect there was a problem with it. In my case however, with a 32GB card, I had plenty of spare space and don't think I ever got anywhere near just having 1GB free.

I'm surprised more people have not reported this issue, but then it may also depend which version of the app you're using - as there seem to be a number of variants. The other problem of course is that in my case I was just loosing a few images at a time from certain folders, and not all of them, so it's not always immediately obvious that they're gone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PandaKiller:
Any news about this issue?

I 'm having this problem too whit my HTC Desire whit Android 2.2 and a SD card 8GB Kingston.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebbk:
Hi all,

I got the same issue. but I have only about 200 pics on my 8gb sd with more than 4gb of free space ...

I thought I had too many pics in one folder as the more recents pics where always disappearing after a few hours/days.

So i wanted to copy my folder on my computer, and then, SURPRISE : I could copy ALL my pics, even the "lost" ones. It seems that they are not deleted but only hidden in the gallery.

And I don't use gallery 3d.

Hope this helps.

EDIT : it's on a desire Z

Didnt see it in any threads, if its already posted, can an admin delete this thread? Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
That's because the other thread is not strictly speaking an official release more like a link to another version, JPH, of the firmware from Samsung. Samsung have not released it themselves via Kies as yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Correct....

[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
Installing now. Lets see what all this talk has been about. :)

My phone is talking to me! :p
[Captivate Android Development] muthaflaco:
Great. Another reason to flash. Thanks. :))

[Captivate Android Development] DOAlaboratories:
GOD DAMMIT! literally 5 minutes after i flash SRE this comes out. how should i flash over, just head back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
you can flash on top. you'll lose some of the things from SRE until I have the two merged fully.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Should I just Odin myself back to stock then do this or will it work over my root, lag fix, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
After a really bad experience with SRE and sleeping death, this is much needed. Thanks much
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
Ah.. so this is where everyone seems to be tonight lol.. going under my USER CP i see the vanilla/SRE/Capti-VibHybrid always refreshed!

Great to hear this :D I'm excited to see if anyone finds poquito bugs!
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
I just flashed this on top of SRE running jH7 and my

Phone is talking to me while

It's on the Att white screen! Crazy but it's sexy ahahahA
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
why not have this simply as a lagfix, and incorporate it into SRE, instead of trying to make yet another all-in-one tool?? It will be nice to just have one tool (SRE), and have the voodoo lagfix incorporated into that instead of the other way around.

Oh and btw, if you do incorporate unhelpfuls oc/uv kernal...PLEASE keep a version with stock clock speeds/voltages. Some of us have no desire for this, and as of now, it seems to be the source of most of the problems.
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
I have one request. I see that u are planning to incorporate oc/uv in this mod. Can u make a non-oc/uv version as well? My experie ce with it has been nightmarish
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
Just finished!

Got 1533 quadrant score with all my stuff intact. No fresh install! Loving this so far!

Edit: ran quadrant second time and I got 1785 :)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Hey, looks like someone stole my thread layout... pshhhhh

this is going to be in SRE :)

the fix, not this...
[Captivate Android Development] Reefermattness:
I thought I felt strangely familiar reading the OP.... lol

Can we get a lagfix only update like on the main voodoo page? This one messed up my theme and that's gonna be a deal breaker. :p lolz jk

EDIT: Ahhhh and removed my overclock!!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
wow, just downloaded the zip, not very happy about this...

that is SRE with a few edits to add voodoo...

shame on you

THIS IS SRE WITH VOODOO

ha, and this is the I9000 kernel, its not even for captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
first the thread layout, and now SRE! You should take this as a compliment, that means you are doing something right!
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
wow really DG?! dang .. something is very wrong with this IMO. :/ .. is this going to be another cyanogen type drama Dx ..

at least he mentioned your name in credentials.. :(

lol it's written designgears(SRE) .. it's openly written he literally used your code :o .. X__x.. not as bad as the cyanogen drama.. D: .. >_>..

am i making this too dramatic than it is o_o?

1726 quadrant and no sleeping death yet. Im keeping a copy of this version
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
if you cant get into download mode, I think you just have a bad unit. The way this fix is packaged, its impossible to fully brick this phone.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
Anyone else seeing that scrolling isn't very smooth while running jh7?
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Try unplugging the battery then put in back in. Hold the vol up and vol down buttons and plug you phone in to your pc. After a few secs it should bring up download mode even if the phone is bricked. If this does not work your phone is dead and needs to be replaced.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Atinm, You are the man!!! Thanks for making this happen. I was expecting unhelpful to port this but then out of nowhere you came through. I'm glad we got another developer on board. Look forward to trying this out when mobileAP gets incorporated.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL LAG FIX. IT IS ACTUALLY NOT A "FIX" IT IS THE SOLUTION. Supercurio did PWN samsung and their minions of delelopers. WOW,

thanks for the port...
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
I was using SRE 1.2.1a I think (haven't updated my sig yet, whatever it says there) which has Unhelpful's OC Kernal. I was not using the OC option though. Just wondering if it affect fps for games as well.

Edit: Just checked Deadly Chambers and was running solid 55fps.

[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
I couldnt get into download mode before but my phone is flashing again now.

It appears I have to put it in somewhere warm for it to boot up. Some hardware damage for sure

Update: Oneclick'ed but went to sleeping death again

My only wish is that people see my experience and not ever flash the OC kernel
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Things do seem less smooth. Not sure if it's because I'm no longer running at 1.2GHz or if it's just in my head.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
I was running JM8 and didn't have the scrolling lack of smoothness, and have never run the oc kernel. But i don't know if it's something to do with jh7 or this voodoo fix.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That may be a bit harsh, all things considered the processor should seize up your device before any actual DAMAGE is caused. Conversely if your device already had some kind of defect the OC kernel may have exacerbated the problem, leading to you getting a warranty replacement while your phone was still IN warranty rather than petering out from general use after a year.

There is a lesson to be learned though (in case people didn't know it before): Not all processors are created equal, some can tolerate an OC, some can't- and reading the red letters saying "THIS COULD DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE" should be taken seriously!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
alright,I am currently running eugenes hybrid rom.still on stock jf6. my plan is to use odin one click to flash back to stock . wipe cache and data, re root with one clik root/un root, and then flash this. should go well im thinking, unless someone sees a fatal flaw. also it i want to undo this i create a empty disable lag fix file in the voodoo folder on the root of the sd card. am I tracking?:)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I personally see no day-to-day benefit of the 1.2 GHz OC anyway. Does Asphalt HD load just a LITTLE bit faster? yeah, but I can wait the additional 5 seconds. the small boost to quadrant is nice, but if I was really interested in that, ext4 (non-voodoo) lagfix would achieve the same thing and more.

when SRE came enabled by default, I'd always drop it to 1 GHz anyway. I have no interest in undervolt since I'm able to get more than a solid day from the battery anyway. I've always preferred the non OC/UV versions, this is the first kernel that's provided a MASSIVELY noticeable improvement to day-to-day usability and offers minimal risk to your hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Assuming you aren't running any lagfixes already you could just flash in the voodoo kernel and continue running the hybrid ROM + voodoo :) (It's what I'm currently sporting)

And yes, you've got the uninstall procedures right :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I'm in complete agreement with this. I don't use the OC feature outside of my derpa derpa quadrant runs. I use the OC kernel for the init.d support and that's it. I've found that simply switching to Eugene's hybrid ROM was enough to bring my speed up nicely AND give me ludicrous battery life.

TBH the lag on these phones is due to the I/O, which this fixes- AND poor memory management which will still lead to different slowdowns after a couple of days running without a reboot. From playing with vanilla releases and TW stripped ROM's I've got serious reason to believe that TW on its own compounds this problem to an obnoxious degree.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
exactly, I think the whole overclocking scene is a gimmick with phones that are 1ghz or above. It seems more reasonable to do it with older phones like the G1 or the Droid 1, but with phones like ours, 200mhz isn't much and that iphone vs evo video is spot on making fun of overclocking.

Now, undervolting is a different story. If you can undervolt with stock cpu clocks to save battery, that would be great.

Like I said before, the perfect package would be:

Superuser + Voodoo lag fix + working HSUPA + mobileAP + sideloading minus the ATT bloat.
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
My thought exactly. I did not see any real world improvement with the OC at all and chances are the other members wont either. Do it if you are prepared for the heartache. Im not blaming any developer here. I appreciate their hardwork, I actually donated $15 to SRE over the past few weeks.

To the developers: Thanks and keep up the good work.

To the regular forum members: beware, and I thank you for the beta testing and the warnings that I ignored (error on my part)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yeah and since we've got the I/O thing essentially fixed, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to port to 2.2 once the sources are released (I'm assuming, can't say for a fact). And I feel like Samsung was pegging the 2.2 release to fix the memory management for it's HIMEM support (we only have access to 368 of our 512, minus what's set aside for the GSM radio). and yes, touchwiz definitely seems to slow down the whole experience since running even the buggy AOSP flies in comparison. and we've seen that a lot of these things can be fixed through ROM optimization even, look at hybrid as a perfect example.

I feel like a combination of this fix, 2.2, and (in a perfect world) AOSP... I can't imagine another of the current generations of phones keeping up even at stock clocks
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
Thanks so much for the hard work. Donation coming your way soon enough.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Cool! init.d support is highest on my list of fixes for tonight - should be easy enough to put in, just need the time to do it! Then I'll try Eugene's hybrid too - I haven't yet because I was using my phone for development (I really should have a second one for development!) and so had to keep reflashing and installing anything was a bother.

-Atin
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Ok, made it through all 20 pages of this thread.

Newbie alert... be gentle...

At first, this new fix intrigued me, since it seemed to be one of the lesser-intrusive ones, did a proper EXT4 partition (versus EXT2) and no buffering/virtualization, no filesystem limits, and didn't have lots of other junk included too (like overclocking, etc).

A lag fix that did nothing more but change the data fs from RFS to EXT4, with the option to change back and 100% cleanly uninstall would perhaps interest me.

However... upon reading it looks like this isn't just a filesystem swap, but a kernel replacement too... and you don't get your original kernel back even after an uninstall.

Faced with having to resort to a whole gamut of additional tools and hacking just to uninstall cleanly and get all my apps and data back, I become less-enthusiastic.

Can someone clarify, for the unwashed masses?

Thanks. :)
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Hey Zilchy, you remember that one guy in the i9000 forum that figured out how to add nilfs2 (dklcdark) what ever came out of that and him he just stopped development? Didn't he open this whole thing up for porting and what not?

Do you think voodoo will be incorporated with nilfs2, I remember him saying that it was better. Not trying to start up a ext 2 vs ext4 vs...bs. What do you think about it. I think it sounds promising (nilfs2)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You had no reason to believe it would have screwed anything up, and I'd bet you 10:1 that if the OC DID cause your phone to fail you dodged a bullet. The added stress might have pushed an already flawed chip over the edge, resulting in you hopefully getting a new and problem free device. Only pushing the limits of your phone over a long period of time would result in the average chip failing out- the thing that must be remembered is that the OC kernel adds an extra step, it doesn't mean your proc runs over 1GHz for more than the .5% of the time you actually NEED that kind of horsepower.

Voltage tweaking on the other hand... that could be a sight more dangerous to the processor if you grossly overpower it.
[Captivate Android Development] contentryder:
this fix is the best...not a placebo like other lagfixes! and quadrant is lower but probably more precise on measuring actual speed.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
sweet an no , no lag fixes.. they make me nervous. thats why i had so many questions about removing it .as long as I can get rid of it am am more than willing to try most things with this phone. i am gaining confidence with odin one click and getting into download mode, since i have had to use it twice and it has worked fine. do you have any issues with the hybrid and this before:) i flash it. I appreciate your help every one.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
So i jh7 running and voodoo. If i use rom manager to restore eugenes rom voodoo is there or would it be better to flash eugenes rom over my current set up
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nothing really materialized out of that, though you can still apply it manually- there are a few concerns that supercurio brought up regarding NILFS2 use in everyday situations which swayed my opinion a bit. More than likely once use of this kernel gets a bit more prevalent I'd bet we'll see some other FS variants for those unsatistifed with EXT4
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
This is true that it isn't JUST a filesystem swap. The filesystem is the actual fix, but it requires native ext4 support which the stock SGS kernels do not provide. the kernel is required so we can actually run the lagfix. After disabling the lagfix and reverting to RFS, your kernel would ESSENTIALLY be the same as stock. the only modifications to it as of now just add support for the lagfix, therefore it would be a "nothing lost, nothing gained" situation.

you can always reflash the stock kernel (available from Koush in the sticky about running i9000 ROMs and clockwork recovery) after disabling the lagfix (but only AFTER)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Revert voodoo using the disable-lagfix, then apply the hybrid rom, then remove the disable-lagfix file to reapply it. When I did it the other way I had noticeably less disk space on my NAND- I'd assume that's due to the ROM installing side by side with my old install since clockwork doesn't understand EXT4
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I can only speak for me, but everything is running like butter on hybrid R3 with voodoo :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
My kernel is actually built with nilfs support - so you could theoretically do it manually. Heck, I could even do it in the automated fashion if I actually understood why it would be better than tried and true EXT4.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I guess i missed curios concerns on that. I still curious to see what comes of that. Also of the "tools" he left for the dev. to use.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
from what I know about NILFS vs ext4 is that NILFS tends to perform a LOT more writes (and more frequently and smaller ones) than ext4. and that's the exact opposite of what we want on flash-based memory.

it's a lot more stable in the long-run on traditional hardware, but not flash based memory. the only system I haven't seen a good argument against yet is yaffs, which is actually designed for flash memory. though I believe our hardware actually treats the memory as a block device, but I may be wrong
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Man i knew i should not have gone to work today ;) This thread is already growing like DGs :p Ok time to start reading whats going on. Must be good though right?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I think most of the interest is based on the testimony from one person that NILFS2 ran faster than EXT4- which logically doesn't make sense because of how NILFS2 handles reading/writing/garbage collection, and all that jazz with the snapshots on the file system. At this point, we're not moving things large enough or in great enough quantity to really perceive much of a difference over EXT4 even if another file system is faster.

RyanZA disclaimer (since he has a way of showing up whenever someone says something wrong about a file system :) )- Yes some file systems will be faster at some tasks but most likely not a perceivable speed increase to the average user- EXT4 combines data security with more than adequate speed!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes - it does replace the kernel since that is where EXT4 support resides and that is where the init happens that does the conversion for you and makes sure Samsung's stuff doesn't overwrite it. There is a backup made of your kernel on your sdcard - /sdcard/bml7-zImage-kernel-backup.img as well as /sdcard/sd/bml7-zImage-kernel-backup.img so you could get it back but you would have to use tools like Odin. It's the nature of the beast. On the other hand, it doesn't do anything to your data and apps - you just convert back to RFS using disable-lagfix and they'll get restored as RFS. Then you could installyour backed up kernel again from one of the other methods. It is as unintrusive a fix as we could make . . .

-Atin
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
LOL yeah he does magically show up. HEHE I think you guys clarified this nicely. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] androidftwin:
Are they sending you a whole brand new phone or refurbished?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah for those that hear the word kernel and think it's scary, this is a way to put it into perspective:

Everytime you flash your phone to a new firmware version it reflashes your kernel.

If you've ever run SRE (outside of the super early builds) you've already reflashed your kernel.

Odin 1 click restore also will flash your kernel back to stock :)

This fix is muuuuuuuch less risky in pretty much every capacity than the prior lag fixes
