[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StaticSample:
I have the same USB issue...tried everything its has been a real pain in the ass . I am currently rooted with jf7, flashed cognition 2.1.3 voodoo enabled. The phone runs better then ever but I gotta have my USB just in case **** happens.

I would like to go back to stock unrooted before I exchange the phone . I searched around the forums for the recovery-update.zip mentioned above. I assume it was a private exchange. I would really like to get that file, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow65781:
what I did was put design gears jf7 onto a microsd along with koush's recovery update.zip

you will need to remove your lag fix because it doesnt play well with clockwork if you dont have clockwork, all you really need is the recovery update .zip and the jf7 ota .zip if you can manually get into recovery you might not even need the recovery update.zip I had to use it because after I removed lag fix it would reinstall upon boot so I removed the lag fix and ran recovery update.zip upon the next boot( you will need to rename this update.zip and go into recovery by holding down power+both up and down vol until screen comes on then let go of power and continue to hold both up+down vol till you hit recovery then select to run the update. zip which is actually clockwork. then you can select to run the jf7 ota update . zip

that how I had to do it you might be able to skip the recovery . zip and just run the jf7 update.zip

be sure to rename it update.zip unless you use clockwork

just make sure you get the lagfix off before you run clockwork.

fell free to pm me if you need anymore help as Im not really good at explaining things sometimes

Hope this gets you back

ps you will need to move the files from micro sd to internal sd

So when running android on the sd card. Is there a way to create another partition for things such as music and a few documents?

The reason i ask is because i love testing new builds but hate that i have 10.5GB of music that i have to transfer back onto my card after I change to a new build.

id like to partition the card to 12gb for basic storage and the rest for android/etc.

Hello,

I'm using my Hero as car navigator in car holder,

but it's not comfortable without external manipulator,

for example, for zoom in/out, switch between apps etc,

I've tried this:

http://forum.legendroid.com/android...)-use-your-bluetooth-mouse-as-your-trackball/

it works with my bt mouse,

but for the car - mouse is not usefull,

do you know some bt trackball or joystick for car mount?

I know there are too many car joysticks on the market,

but they are for carpc, not for bt devices.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Hhmm... Great idea but I think you would need to find a Bluetooth joystick first like you said, and the way you got the mouse working may need some tweaking ;)

Using Darkstones FroyoStone build, but I really dont like the lock screen slider, it just visually clashes with every wallpaper imo. I would much prefer to use the default Froyo one or HTC hero one. I have only found 2 apps capable of this, lockbot and widgetlocker. Lockbot has terrible reviews and doesnt seem to work well at all (i tried it), and widgetlocker is payware.

Seems like changing the lockscreen should be easy enough, if not a basic system default option. Does anyone know how to do it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byrdman443:
Make a backup of anyfiles before you edit them!

I used astro file explorer, but just use whatever file explorer you like best. Go to /system/app and find the file called "HtcLockScreen.apk" make a copy of it and put it somewhere safe, then delete the original and bam there you go. I just restarted android when done, and when it comes back on you should have the stock froyo lockscreen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Piemole:
Does that mean I could dump the 2.1 lockscreen.apk in and have that one instead, I don't like the 2.2 one much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byrdman443:
I have not personally tried to but I would assume that you could, just make sure you copy the original .apk file and try it out.

Find one of the old 2.1 builds in the forum, load it up and copy the htclockscreen.apk to your computer or sd card. Load up your current build of android and place it in the system/app folder.

Hello all,

My first post. Sorry to say I'm an absolute newbee to all this.

I started searching for ways to upgrade my X10a because of the poor voice command software available for hooking up my Blueant S4 here in Ontario where "handsfree only" devices must be used while driving.

I found this thread hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717949 and successfully brought my phone up to xxx23. I then ran the Marketfix but didn't run the X10i to X10a patch. Strange enough, I found some great voice command software in the market (for instance Google Maps Search by voice). Things weren't quite working the way I wanted and further digging brought me to: hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907. I followed the 3rd post instructions and brought my system up to xxx26. I also ran the x10i to x10a patch.

When I subsequently ran the Marketfix patch I bricked my phone. So now I reloaded everything, except the Marketfix. Problem is, I don't see any of the voice command software in the market that I saw before.

Is there a Marketfix patch for xxx26, or do I even need it?

I've done a lot of searching, but can't find anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flypubec:
I have a Flash application that requires ~130Mb of RAM and I want to run it on my Galaxy S

I've installed Froyo JPK with latest flash 10.1, but just before the end of startup procedure I always get the "exclamation circle" icon which is apparently the "out-of-memory" message in flash.

I have tried to free up the memory with task killers and memory boster, but can't get it above 175 Mb, which is obviously still not enough, since probably browser and other applications/services use it back before the flash application starts completely. Or might be also some limitation my browser in Galaxy S ? -> see EDIT below

On HTC Desire this same application works like a charm.

So I wonder...

Is there any way to get more free memory ? [EDIT: Yes, with "Chuck Norris mode" app killers, but i does not always help and it's lame]

Is there any way to get more than 311-322Mb RAM used for Applications ? [EDIT: Yes, when developpers will found out the way how to get less memory used for video codecs or even found the misterious 32Mb which are yet nowhere to be found]

Can we expect to this memory issue to be solved in future Froyo releases ? [probably only Samsung knows that, but for now it seems very unlikely]

EDIT: Found out that I get out-of-memory with every single application when it reaches 128Mb of RAM usage.

This is again specific to SGS. Looks like this is some internal max memory allocation size per application/VM

So here is another question:

Is there any way to increase this limit (might be android internal or dalvik VM related)?

I would personally put up money to get the RAM issue resolved.

People keep saying that 324~ MB is enough. That's not the point though. The point is that Samsung advertised 512MB. Any reasonable person would assume that, like other phones containing 512MB of RAM, that the phone would have 400+MB available for general usage. 324 MB for such a power phone is dismal. I consider Samsung's claim to be a form of false advertising. Yes, technically the phone has 512MB of RAM, but not according to the reasonable expectations of a consumer. Almost half of the stated RAM isn't usable to the end user for applications. This is a problem with the phone from the standpoint of delivering the expected value to the consumer.

the phone has 512MB and you can use all. But the system use some of it.

Its only user that cant read and understand how it work hat keep asking about it.

And this phone has more ram that most have. So yes it is enough of ram.

'If you try to runt 50+ all time you will and up with low memory.

But its the same on a computer. none complain about that.

Only that you can only see 3.5GB on windows and use that on a 32.bit system. Well now you can see 4GB and all people are happy.. but they still cant use it, but its looks good.

That the same with this phone.

If samsung did show 512MB and did show how much that was free, all people that complain would be happy. but it dont change a bit what thay can use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
That make no sense

there is no reason to get less memory with the i9000 when comparable devices like the nexus one running the same OS version has 100mb+ more free ram
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andars05:
This misses the point of my original statement. The Nexus One is advertised (along with many other phones) as having 512MB of RAM. The N1 has 380-400+MB available of RAM available for applications, as do many other phones containing 512MB of RAM.

Yes, the system does reserve some for certain system functions. Even after those functions have been reserved on other 512MB models, the vast majority is still available to the end user. This is not the case on the Galaxy S series. This is evident by the original posters comment regarding his application.

To address your Windows example: Windows 32 bit actually states that only a portion of the 4GB is available for use. I don't see in the advertisements where Samsung states "Contains 512MB -- 324MB available for actual usage"

I think most consumers, like myself, would assume that the amount of RAM advertised is directly correlated to the amount usable for applications.

Otherwise, what's the difference between a phone advertised as having 384MB and the Galaxy S? They both could have the same amount of RAM available.

I don't think our phone has 512mb of RAM physically available to the system. I think the phone has 512mb of RAM in total but it looks like 128mb of it is graphics RAM or something. Meaning we only have 384mb available to the system. The maximum amount of RAM I can ever get free is about 175mb so I don't think that it's reasonable that the system is using about 337mb of RAM. My desktop linux system uses less RAM than that on boot.

Isn't the memory allocation for graphics dynamic?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franklin01:
Also, since it runs on linux, cant we assign some space from the internal sd (or external) to make a virtual ram disk that would be used as ram when needed? some king a paging file that we know on windows...

And if this is possible, can we assign it to video so graphism will be a little slower but app will become faster?

I think there is something we can do if we can change assignation of ram, apps, and video to make this phone way much powerful.

As you can see, all other Android phones reserve some memory to the system... It's just the way it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
the sgs kernel creates amemory blackhole, that is, it starts using memory after a certain memory address.

It does that because many things in the hardware are using fixed memory addresses to allocate their own memory which is not managed by the kernel itself and the kernel will never touch or see it.

what you call "system memory" is usually memory used and seen by the kernel, for the OS's functionality: various applications, services, daemons, kernel daemons, kernel memory itself (its not much) and some time some ramdisks.

Every phone also uses that of course, which amounts for like 80-130megs. They also often use small black holes of like a couple of megs, but that's so little that no one will notice.

The sgs makes a big blackhole. To me it's more of a design fault, but not much you can do about it I guess. It would need someone who's going to read the complete hardware sheets to bypass that, if at all possible, lol. Or samsung.

I bet they fixed the design issue in the galaxy tab and either the chip has separate dedicated memory either there's no blackhole.

Another theory why the blackhole is necessary is that there's a bug in the chip and it's messing up a portion of the memory, so this portion is left unused (blackhole'd - never seen by the kernel) for stability reasons.

i hope this gives some insight.

reference from the previously linked post:

- Galaxy S [2.1] RAM = 512 MiB | Linux = 325 MiB | Reserved = 187 MiB (with I9000XWJM2 firmware)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
No, *we* can't use it all , because we != system. The debate is not whether or not there is 512MB of physical memory; there could be , since Samsung advertises as having 512MB, but its not all user accessible memory. We don't know for what the system is utilizing that memory, I don't think its for loading some of the core system components; otherwise we should be left with more free RAM like other devices with 512MB of RAM (i.e Nexus One). Its more likely that 188MB is used by either the GPU and other hardware or as a Ram disk.

In contrast, other phones having 512MB of RAM don't use user allocated memory for system or hardware use (at least not the same way Samsung does). They are somehow handling it differently, maybe their GPU's and Other hardware software counterparts have dedicated memory. Whatever said, at the end of the day in the user's point of view, Galaxy S DOES NOT have 512MB of RAM as what we were all led to believe :mad: . That is pure deception !!

If they knew this was the case then they should have alerted this to the users. For-example a spec sheet for Samsung Fascinates says 512MB Flash/384MB RAM they should have advertised Galaxy S like that instead of lying through their teeth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andars05:
I hope this isn't the case. The list with other phones shows that the amount reserved on the SGS is indeed very large. Most of the phones appear to only reserve around 90~mb.

The OP, poochie2, in that post further provides evidence to my argument. Two phones advertised as having substantially different amounts of RAM, end up only have a difference of 5mb~ available to the user.

Is there a ROM for the Galaxy S that allows up to 384mb? I thought that I read that a few roms had 384 mb available to the user.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mundano:
HTC Desire is very close in the amount of RAM reserved to system.

But maybe that is one of the reasons why the SGS just beats all other phones when it comes to 3D performance. The RAM reserved to the GPU is also in that "black hole" as you call it. Maybe the power full SGX 540 need more RAM to run in an optimal way... Maybe.. Maybe.. Maybe...

;)

I just think that all this is a non issue... If the task manager just said 512MB instead of 325MB and everything else was just plain equal everybody would be happy...

Let's just be reasonable... What kind of mobile app requires 130MB of free RAM???
