GPS Fix possibly soon

Hey Eugene not sure if you seen this news. But there is a possibility of you being able to fix the GPS feature soon. Aperantly Samsung releasing Froyo to all systems end of november. At least its what has been reported not sure but it could be something to look forward to

Down below is what i found in their site engaget

The Android 2.2 upgrade situation on the Galaxy S has been a veritable rollercoaster of emotions for owners recently, owing in no small part to the seemingly final firmwares that have been briefly posted and pulled from the company's servers in parts of the world over the past couple weeks. Nordic countries have already sample the goods, but Sammy says that a "new" firmware update will be available in early November in the UK and should hit "all operator versions" of the phone (presumably including the Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate) by the end of November. YouMobile is reporting that existing regional updates have been pulled due to general not-awesomeness, so hopefully they'll have a chance to get it right over the next couple weeks before it starts hitting again. Follow the break for Samsung's press release.

After reconditioning the battery I'm still getting horrible battery life . In 2 1/2 hrs I've dropped 30% . This is with no phone use at all except to post this . I am also still getting dropped data after the update . Switching to airplane mode then back seems to fix that .

[ROM] Vibrant AOSPish FroYo 1.0 - JPM Based - *10/22/2010*

Reminds me of days of slackware redhat ect. Let me just theme linux this make it a pretty gui theme and call myself a DEV....bleh

Even Apple used open source BSD and made Mac OSX. Just to funny...Eugene thanks(and your other real devs porting the I9000 code)
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
What are you referring to about this thread with what you just said?
[Vibrant Android Development] sadkorean34:
After flashing ROM, and applying the updates,

I flashed the JI6 modem binary.

No drop outs of data, nor any malfunction.

This is sweet!
[Vibrant Android Development] option94:
Actually, now im having the data issues again. Have to go to airplane mode and back to get data to work after the phone has been idle for a while, or when switching from 3g to edge.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Are you referring to works like these?

[ROM] Master Rom 1.1.4

[ROM] Vibrant AOSPish FroYo 1.0

If so, I suppose there's some truth in that. :p More choices is still better though, IMO. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] Cal-El:
Someone posted one here already yesterday. Use the search or at least hit the paperclip on the thread and you will see all the attachments for that thread. I am using it now, works great.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
If this is actually the case / safe then I'd imagine that using JI2 is would best for those that are crying about battery life in this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] mdanerd:
no, the problem is all i get is 640x480 and 800x480 options
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
I see. Thanks, Eugene! It showed up after I posted my thread, searched beforehand, etc. That's irrelevant now, though. If it's the "most current" version then I'll post it over on my thread so it's more visible / available. Then people won't have to dig for it here. Yeah, I'm sure if I searched for it now (again), it'd show up. :rolleyes:

Email app

Does anyone know how to get the email apk from the original stock rom to work? Its the only one that works with my yahoo account without having to jump through hula hoops. I tried deleting the other email.apk, pushing the one i wanted, then clearing cache and rebooting. The program seems to work, but FC's in the middle of setting up the account... Any ideas?

edit: Nvm. Found another method in the thread to try besides replacing the apk.. Gonna give it a shot
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
this is a simpler method. downloaded from samsung apps. it was free so i believe i can post it here. its samsung email app and im app. works with yahoo with 0 hoops. lemme know if it works for u. i have one for 2.2 and one for 2.1...idk remember which is which
[Vibrant Android Development] :
in regards to this, idk if anyone has noticed this, but even at 8% battery my linpack score, quadrant, etc. didnt go down. I think the battery life issue is related to the cpu not downclocking right, because at 8% battery my scores should be alot lower, such as linpack should be arounf 5-8mflops instead of 14 still. Im pretty convinced this is the issue, if i wasnt at work id like to take a look at the kernel, but sadly cant XP If someone wants to confirm this and possibly check it out that should hopefully help the battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
If that's the case, then using the app SetCPU might help with that.
[Vibrant Android Development] harabinger66:
Thanks! that worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Ehhh... guess I'm gonna just have to take the plunge first hand. Will report back.

Update 1: Power Button Works in CWM Recovery but Home and Back both act as Home when using phone normally

Update 2: I ran this conversion method - No-RFS Advanced: all partitions are ext4 - and it successfully converted /data, /dbdata and /cache to ext 4.

Quad Score: 1558
[Vibrant Android Development] aaron1992:
Thank you for posting the samsung email social hub, that fixed the email linking thing, plus it works amazing, I got my notification within 15 seconds of sending from a different email from my computer, over 3g not wifi either. Now if GPS was fixed it would be set! (Even though right now we can still get directions via maps>my location)
[Vibrant Android Development] kingzeus:
How do i get swype to work i pushed it with adb now its telling me it needs to foreclose
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Does The "fix permission" option in ROM manager work for anyone? Mine just starts and stops immediately...
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Maybe try running the permission fix from clockworkmod instead?
[Vibrant Android Development] seandavidfebre:
i need my root permisson back...idk how to get it...i reinstalled super user...and still no root...what do i do.
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
I have the usual CWM recovery, you need to odin this kernal using the pit 512 file, and once rebooted jump into recovery. Goto advanced and reboot recovery from there, you will see new items in CWM recovery called advanced ULK. Ive tried a few of them, and I prefer the advanced overkill, which completly removed RFS from what its telling me. Smooth and no other issues, give it a shot for yourself.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
flashed the new recovery, rebooted, tried it again in Rom Manager... now gives me "Error trying to run privileged commands". Rebooted in to CW as a Vibrant and then tried "fixing permissions" in CW and says its "done" immediately.

Oh well I guess its not that big of a deal for me. Just thought I'd mention it... wondering if anyone else is getting the same outcome?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thanks for getting back to me. I can confirm everything said here. I tried the first advanced setting and it was successful. Guess I'll try overkill if you are reporting no issues. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
Yea ive tested out the ext4 only mod and got a ~1500, right now im at the advanced overkill with jfs and got the higher quadrant score. Now if I could only get this baby running at 1.2 we will see something special happen here.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
I flash the JI6 modem . I found a clockwork version found here http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=415619&d=1286557210 . Data seems to be fixed i'll report back on battery life when I get this thing full charged .

[Vibrant Android Development] Kryptyx:
In the OCLF click Restore Boot Animation, then you should be able to install the V2+ lagfix.
[Vibrant Android Development] techpreneur:
Is this better than sombionix Rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] mightykc:

[Vibrant Android Development] thekidshellz:
oc kernels for this build

i too am getting the install errors with some market apps, my angry birds that worked with bionix now wont install, my other question is , is anyone using any overclock kernels or lagfixes we had with the 2.1 roms with these to help out the speed? with this froyo i m getting quadrant scores around 970, i used to get in the 1200s with the stock and kernels it d make this rom even that much more awesome , its definitely stable i m using it for a daily driver now that the major bugs are fixed, keep up the good work guys!
[Vibrant Android Development] Kryptyx:
Getting 1900 with RyanZA's OCLF, I'm hosting it on the market for him you should see it there or his thread over in the i9000 section.
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
2.1 kernels or custom kernels wont work. Jac has said this, Samsung needs to release source for this to happen. And this was from a leak, so the source can be a lot different than the final release
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Those are paid apps. I'll compare the build.props to see if there is anything causing it.

Edit:

Only thing that pops out is: ro.build.id=ECLAIR
[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
2.1 kernels wont work properly on 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
I flashed it myself, was able to get a lock indoors(in a large commercial building mind you) in just a few seconds...
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Yep. The only thing I found that doesn't work is the LbsTestMode. So For those that want o know how many sats lock.... sorry, it wont tell you.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
^^this. Was just about to post that. Until Samsung releases the source for the 2.2 kernel, we are limited to what we can do with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
I found a pretty good solution for this. Follow every Samsung group on Facebook and Twitter that you can find. Make sure they are official Samsung groups.

Spam every post they make bugging them about Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] mightykc:
Anyone tried using the MobileAP? I enable it and it works, but If in disable it and re-enable it again then it says error and does not seem to work. Aslo after a few minutes my phone seems to then go into "Kernel Panic Upload Mode" and I have to restart the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] cruiserbax:
Is there a way to capture how a program interacts with the system, example: sensorcalibutil_yamaha? perhaps if I knew or could see how it is working I could try a simple app like the one in the froyo roms to invert certain axis and save those values as this utility does only with the desired tweaks instead of the ones that the utility is currently programmed to set.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Anyone else getting FC's on the Android Keyboard?
[Vibrant Android Development] kingzeus:
Can we get a guide for us noobs, and is this safe? All I really want is the flash player.
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
Yeah I was having that issue, if you download "vlingo" from the market, the kb is exactly the same...
[Vibrant Android Development] Kryptyx:
I flashed this, but GPS still does not seem to work for me. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Sane1:
Confirmed working. Thanks bird man! Power button works, up/down volume reversed. I used No-RFS Advanced: all partitions are ext4.Quadrent score 1537 :D Now we just need GPS and Overclock.
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
Hey just doing my part to help the people, Ill keep testing and post any new goodies I find out. Think eugene would post this in the OP??????
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
Anyone have the location of the kernel to Odin? Power button isn't working in recovery and i'm stuck - will only reboot back to recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
are the capacitive buttons still mapped correctly with that kernel and are volume keys reversed once the rom is booted up?

ADB reboot should take you back then try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
I'd say no, don't do it. The fallout of ppl bricking their phones will clutter this thread. If anything I would start a new thread with a preface and a link... that of course with the OP/Dev's permission.

Good find by the way. Not jumping into it just yet, but I've subbed to that thread. Interesting stuff. I think were on the verge of bigger & better things for the Galaxy S community :D
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
There still backwards, but the power button works for me, and for others.

[Vibrant Android Development] Sane1:
Is your back button also also mapped to home? Don't remember having that problem prior.
[Vibrant Android Development] crxforya:
Mine is, Dont remember this when I flashed originally either!!! On another note has any had any problems with applying the no-wipe update. Leaves me at the Galaxy S screen waited 30 min for it to complete and never did, ended up having to yank the batt.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sane1:
Did you apply the no-wipe update before or after you did the lagfix? If after you might have to try disabling the lagfix first.
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
Yes thats true, hmm, didnt have that before, looks like we found a bug.
[Vibrant Android Development] crxforya:
I have never applied a lag-fix to any of my roms so wouldnt think that to be an issue
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackElvis79:
I wiped data and cache before flashing this and my internal sd was not wiped. I've had that happen once before when i flashed without wiping first. Just an observation.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Battery is horrible. Everything off at night in 4 hours I last 30 %

... Bad

On the other side now ji6 modem bin seems to fight any data issues....

Seems a fair trade off...

So ji6 no issues with data...

Just need the gps fixed and some better battery life....

Any way to get that recovery without the kernel? Thats all we really need.

Edit: Here's the recovery by itself. Needs to be compiled and made into something flashable. http://github.com/sztupy/android_bootable_recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Why yalls buttons messed up still? Are you flashing some kernel messing it up? Or is it that new recovery zip..?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Why do we need this new recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
Good question, thats best left for the dev's.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Yes. It is from flashing the Universal Lagfix Kernel for JPM/JP6 over in the i9000 forums. You are able to convert all partitions except system to ext4/ext2 but at the cost of your back and search button.... worth it imho, but not for everyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] crxforya:
I didnt ever get to install the update and my buttons are jacked reflashed and the same thing.

Here it is by itself. Needs to be compiled. Anyone?

Ok data problem only seems to happen when going from edge to 3g . 3g will then lock up .
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
Thanks for that it's appreciated. And I either lack enough coffee today or something else is up - but after flashing the kernel (0.3) in Odin, rebooting, it still goes back to recovery every time. Am missing a check box in Odin? I'm flashing the PDA kernel, auto reboot and reset time is checked. phone bootloader update isn't and same applies with the phone efs clear checkbox, dump, no ID number, etc (all checkboxes in Odin).

I'm lost here and adb won't connect (hence the prob - otherwise adb reboot would have solved the prob).

Thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] coachmai:
The new froyo recovery kernel places a copy of su in /sbin (probably for recovery). That su, happens to be first in your path, cannot execute (i'm not sure why) when phone is fully booted. To get the correct su, type "/system/bin/su" without quotes when you are in an adb shell or terminal on the phone.

i think adb shell is already running as root.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Many have flashed the Voodoo kernel (or other GTI9000 lag fixing kernal) even though it was known fairly early on that it would do this. Aside from that, I wouldn't know.
[Vibrant Android Development] birdman6709:
Yea so after flashing the no-wipe update, i realized what a mistake I made do to me not disabling, so now im having to deal with everything again and it looks like i really messed things up. so back to the drawing board.
[Vibrant Android Development] All~G1:
Not trying to be a ****...

I'm just wondering, but dont you guys think you should possibly take this to another thread???
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
Ah man I need to buy you a beer for the effort - the power button or "ok button" doesn't work in recovery so I can't use recovery to install that.

So basically i have recovery with no okay button to select anything (battery pull to turn off the phone) which reboots back into recovery and I have Odin. Flashing the kernel using Odin works but I still can't use the ok/power button to apply an update, reboot, and no adb access.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Agreed. :rolleyes:

Stock Email Blur

First of all, thanks to Eugene and too all of those involved in this ROM. I was able to flash the ROM and the update with not problems. Although, I did wipe my data. But when you lose, don't lose the lesson right?

I did notice some blurring on the edge of my screen when in the stock email app. It's kind of hard to explain so I have a pic. Not sure how to get show it since I'm a noob.

I hadn't seen anyone else bring it up and its not a big deal, just thought you all would like to know.

Cheers

Anyone having charging issues? Seems when I charge my phone via computer usb it never charges. The phone gets very hot and once I unplug it...its dies. I had it plugged up for the last hour. Started with this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] ajftl:
exactly had that issue today.. rebooted fix problem..
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I'm charging mine at the computer right now. It has been charging ~20 min and it is not overly hot to the touch. I unplugged it and the battery has charged up some. So no issues over here.

You do not need to be using wi-fi,,, as long as the wi-fi is on,, it will pick up the nearest router location.

Do you want to be sure the GPS is working? put your phone in Airplane mode.. then try to get a fix....

If you still getting a GPS fix on ariplane mode.. do a video cuz I will not believe til I see it.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Or get GPS TEST and see how many sats you pick up.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Are you sure mine still does freeze up when going from edge to the 3g .
[Vibrant Android Development] spimonkey34:
You are right here. I took it out and tried to navigate but it was a no go.

I'm still also having issues with data dropping. I set it to WCDMA only and after losing signal, data won't come back up when it returns. Just fyi...

Edit: Data returns with cycle airplane mode on/off.

[Vibrant Android Development] In Absentia:
I'm sure you don't hear this enough, since the satisfied users are the least vocal, so here you go: Thanks, Eugene! Great work with this ROM. I flashed the no-wipe update last night and have not had any problems. Auto-rotate and data both work great (though I didn't have the data dropouts before the update, either). I'm not one of the fortunate ones whose GPS works, but I knew the GPS wasn't working coming into this and I don't need it; network location works fine for my needs, currently. If I ever find a job, I'll definitely be sending a donation your way!

Also, just to add to the dataset, I originally flashed from Bionix Fusion directly from Clockwork Mod (not through ROM Manager) and it wiped my internal SD.
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
Going to echo the sentiments already on this thread: thanks, Eugene, for your hard work *and* an awesome ROM. Hope you're enjoying fatherhood too! I'm not sure where you find the time to do what you do, but I'm glad you do it! :)

A few things I've noted:

+ Boot up time is amazing. How did you get it to be so fast? Is that just Froyo?

+ Really a fast ROM all around. That said, I still decided to go with this lag fix, since it's so easy to do. Personal APP space is limited, but I don't install much.

+ Swype is working again. Whoo hoo! Made me realize just how poor the Samsung keyboard really is. Geeeeez.

+ Looks great too!

- Battery life definitely seems worse. Reconditioned last night, but it hasn't helped much. Not a deal killer for me, though.

- Having "dropped data" issues like others. Locked it in "3G" mode, which seems to be working for now. Will see if a reboot or two helps.

- Crazy low earpiece volume. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm not going deaf or anything, but the *max* earpiece volume is very, very quiet -- even when I'm using it indoors. No "HAC Mode" setting that I'm aware of, unfortunately. Thoughts?

Thanks.
