Great improvement!

Lagfix works like a charm!

Autobrightness leveling is much better (indeed there is a step to lowest brightness and then step up...but it's a cosmetic issue ;) )...what about implementing this > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899540 ?

Sometimes I see the "brownish" (or "redish") brightness step...

Thank you, your work is very appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Im guessing 4.6.7 for the brightness is purely based on HC's K12O ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laststufo:
No i'm doing it in another manner
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ccid0724:
I flash 4.68,it works well

but I want to know should I convert system to ext4 or not?

Usually I do my lagfix is a= e4 without bind

is sys=jfs,a=jfs better?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
What are the risks of EXT2 vs EXT4 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] amrdia:
ext2 is ext4 without journasomething which is needed for speeding up start up but ext4 wears ur flash memory

Go to recovery (volup+home+power) wipe data/factory reset and it will work, happened to me also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
No, you are not the only one. I have ringtone thanks to PowerAMP, but I don't have any notification tone....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lukabers:
I set the values of UV as written on the first page.

The phone was switched off after a few hours of use and I had to attach it to the USB to switch it on.

What did I do wrong?

Possible JFS-system conversion bug

Me too; looks like some sort of bug in the JFS system conversion. I loaded 4_6_8, thought I would give JFS data+system a try to see if i could improve battery a bit. No errors during conversion, but when rebooted, and after recieving my first call, I had only a basic alarm tone. In settings/sound for ringtone and notifications, the only selectable option that was listed was 'silent'.

Reverted lagix back to ext4 all, and full list came back.

Then did JFS-data, rebooted, no problem with tones.

Then did JFS-system, rebooted, and lost tones again.

Reverted system to ext4, rebooted, no problem with tones.

(so current config is system/EXT4 and data/JFS).

What lagfix were you using, and does reverting to ext4 fix for you too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
I'm trying now. Thank you!!!

EDIT: In EXT4, ringtones and notification tones are present. Thank you very much!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mazroui:
Lol u know u could do the same with the stock player, poweramp is much better imho too
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
laststufo,

Not sure if this is releated but I flashed 4.6.8 last night and with NO usage the battery fropped like a brick.

I have not changed anything from before, 4.6.5, which was fine.

Anyway, heres a screengrab..

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vanahaim:
Last 4.6.8 works for me perfect, no problem, everything is ok (no problem in recovery etc.). Battery consumption seems for me better since 4.6.6 changes..

Memory output is always the same for me - can be new XWJS3 moduls solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laststufo:
had you wipe battery stats after fashed it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
I have similar drain .... could you please check what % is in "Running" - its part of Battery History. You could view it by:

1) use Spare Parts OR

2) *#*#4636#*#* -> Battery History
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laststufo:
Since last midnight i have 9.1%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
I have over 35% laststufo - its <10% with speedmod. Cant figure out why.

PS: do you have Wifi sleep on screen off? I have it on Never and I dont know why but i think wifi is causing the drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Same here.. Had 30% drain last night.. We really need to figure this out!

Switched back to speedmod for now..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vanahaim:
For me about 9-10% in 8hours..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nanu_x2:
24hours (6hour standby)

still 23% remaining

very happy...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _PrEzi_:
Testing it for 4+ hours with Wifi and GPS off - was 72%, stayed 72%, screen off.

Must be something with one of those modules...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Its definitely wifi - i dont use GPS and I still have drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] farid993:
tnx laststufo

i update to 4.6.8. it is brighter than 4.6.6 but it reduce or increase brightness in 2 step! :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I get the best performance results with this kernel, but my phone 2 times rebootet without any message, this kernel is not 100% smooth. Can I create logs for error report? At the moment I'm back on speedmod kernel 12p.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Looks awesome, great work mate :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
This is related to the brightness: about every 10 seconds or so my phone's screen dims drastically then auto-adjusts to the proper brightness. This never happened on earlier revisions; only when the brightness fix was added.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sKweezr:
Lagfix still seems broken. What happened to v. 4.6.7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laststufo:
what is wrong ?

edit : for me all ok
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
Lagfix works better than always since 4.6.8. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] amrdia:
lagfix was driving me crazy before 4.6.8 now its working flawlessly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ThickSquirrell:
Hi Laststufo,

Can you confirm whether this is a bug in your kernal/conversion process, or a problem specific to system-JFS.

See post 2703/04 on page 271.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Antho02:
may i ask what app is this one? i only know snap battery but i want look at cpu activity?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
Help please !!!

Hi guys I really need some help here ! (Im sorry for the looks of my post but Im really clueless..)

So I updated KERNEL to 4.6.8 and wanted to convert system to JFS under lagfix menu. So I cliked it, system rebooted and asked me if I wanted to do so and what kind of I wanted, I selected JFS and it did somethign and rebooted.

thats when it started, it was loading forever (30-40 minutes on Galaxy S screen). Finaly I gave up and restarted it using power buton, but the same thing. Got stuck at Galaxy S screen...

So I went into Recovery (Recovery and Download mode both still work) and got the message:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SOK ULFK

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log

I tried to disable the lagfix but it got stuck on blackscreen saying something like:

E: Can't open lagfix!

I tried wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, but it still gave me the message after each one (even though it wrote that the proces itself went well)

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log

I even tried to restore, but the first time it was a way to short (one minute or so) and it said it couldnt restore something (cache and something else).

The next time (I choose different nandroid backup) it also gave me the message, rebooted and got stuck at Galaxy S screen again...

I really dont know what to do.. it probably went down when I force-powered it down when it was still converting the system.. but I dont see how that could have been considering normal lagfix conversion didnt take a third of that time.

Should I try to flash some ROM or KERNEL ? I mean it seems to me that thats about all I can try now :(

btw. if I for example go into TWEAKS menu in recovery it says

Enabled options:

Couldn not create config file

it really seems its all coruppted

thank you very very much for any kind of help !!!

Hey, new at this, but flashed 4_6_8 and 4_6_5 and each is successful with Odin, however when my phone reboots, I keep getting tons of force closes and my phone is not operational. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] junyp:
Reflash with odin (repartition etc.) Install latest rom and latest kernel with cwm restore nandroid backup and then apply any lagfixes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Antho02:

mmm my battery gone from 93 to 24% tonight (3am to 8.30am)

a lost of 70% just by sleeping, no connections no gps, no wifi, no data, no bluetooth. and my phone was shut down :s

i dont know if can come from this kernel or from my rom Insanity 0.4.2 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
My drain was only 2% in the whole night. Maybe you have to recalibrate your battery... and I have the same as you: Insanity 0.4.2 + SO kernel 4.6.8.

You don't say what modem are you using. Mine is ZSJPE...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] laststufo:
I'm now on a stock rom. And NO DRAIN IUSSE.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
seriously guys

DO NOT USE JFS

it already has eaten my data 2-3 times

it might be somewhat fast and eat significantly less battery than ext4 but it's not worth it - only for quadrant and other benchmark scores

real life experience shows that lagfixes seldom are needed anymore with >2.2.1 ROMs and kernels (even with stock RFS)

JFS is not widely used in the linux-kernel - thus has less testing than the other filesystems,

also during usage in my linux-systems has several times already lead to data corruption (luckily I had backups)

so DO NOT USE it !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sKweezr:
Lagfix still broken

OK I can reproduce every time.

If I choose ext4nj(3x), ext2 (3x) and data bind, convert system, and all tweaks, I get a boot loop where it wants to reformat every time. I get a message that data is on ext4, new configuration ext4nj.

The only way out of the loop is to choose "remove new config".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] junyp:
I use jfs for a few days now without any problems. I only had data corruption when switching from ext4 to jfs and back few times for testing. I goin to try it out for a couple more days see what happened
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] developer58:
I also never had issues with JFS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] developer58:
Happened to me 2. After the partitions are converted you can remove the config if asked, since u already converted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IntExCZ:
I've noticed a problem with scirpts in /etc/init.d - they are not executed after reboot.

For example, I want to disable laptop mode, so put script with

but after reboot, there's still 5 in /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode.

I made a simple test with my own script that raises alsa volume (by voodoo sound method) and creates test directory on sdcard by this:

...and nothing after reboot :-(

Directory was not created and volume did not set. When I run the script manually, everything written in the script works.

P.S. Scripts has eXecute attributes for everyone (user, group, world).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Only scripts starting with "S" are executed..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
Should I reflash stock or custom ROMS ? for example stock 2.1/froyo or can I go with darkys 8.0

for example, can I use this procedure for manual flashing of stock 2.2.1 froyo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818556 ?

thank you very much !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IntExCZ:
Good point, that was it!

Instead of directory wasn't created (maybe mountpoint /sdcard is created after execution of the script), new value into voodoo sound config file has been set :)

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sKweezr:
Thing is that when I reboot and check the filesystem, it turns out that the partitions are in fact not ext4nj but ext4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] developer58:
I converted to ext4j from jfs.

Also with me it shows ext4 afterwards.

So...it did convert, but how is ext4j shown! in cwm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mazroui:
now i wonder if the testers here noticed how low the mic is after the patch on 4_6_7

does anyone hear the other side complaining on how far/low they sound ?

i had a couple of complains recently and my 3 suspects are

1. the headphones mic gone bad ?

2. the modem - UGJL2 and XXJPY (either-or) both pretty strong modems and sure help gps a lot

3. the mic gain fix

currently tested both modems and it didnt fix the problem... will have to buy a new headphone n keep it as a backup incase it wasn't the culprit (tested my bros nokia headset and reported a sharper sound but still somewhat low). wonder if laststufo could point me in which direction i could test the mic gain fix( on-off settings possible? )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Antho02:
thanks for answer

i use JPY modem.

maybe was due to setCpu, i tryed make a profile at 800mhz max on screen-off

was ok in this day (99% at 10.30am, 53% at 10.30pm, with 1h wifi, 10min phone, 100sms), i ll test again tonight
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gembol:
Try JPA or JPE modem. In my experience, JPY drains battery a lot.....

I am having trouble with this kernel combine with the insanity rom

I tried to flash 4.6.8 that comes with insnaity 0.4.2, but kept getting the galaxy s logo loop when I try to reboot the system

I tried 4.6.6 and when I boot into the system, the launcher kept getting initiated

I had to go down to version 4.6.5 before I could get everything working, before I was using 4.6.4 which comes with insanity 0.4.1

Anything know what could cause this??

Anyone having any difficulties factory resetting on 4.6.8? I was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S text screen and vibration. Not sure if it's the kernel that's causing the problem or something else. ADB complains of a fatal error given by the power manager.

Gonna bundle 4.6.4 and recompile my ROM... if I'm able to factory reset then it's the kernel that was causing this problem.

Oh well, we'll find out in a bit.

might be an app or driver slurping your battery

surely it seems

but in idle (just sitting there with WCDMA + HSPA on) it almost draws nothing

referring to the following (German) thread:

JPB also seems to be very good (at least in Germany / Europe) in terms of speed and comparable to battery consumption with JPE

you know what i think. People wine a lot.

I'm here on this forum the first day i got my galaxy S (6 month ago). The guys who create great roms and custom kernels are doin a really great job! The thing i noticed is that people keep complaining on things where they dont have to PAY for anything. I know samsung isn't doin a great job upgrading our phones so put your anger on them.

The thing i noticed in this treat is that people complain on they maker of this forum because he is slow with updating. People are comp laing about battery life. but let me tell me YOU something. When your on stock your battery life is worse. When you switch from Hardcore's kernel to this one or the other maybe its slight worse but damn dont ***** about because you switch from one to another whitin 12 hours or so. you get OC and UV and THATS something Hardcore won't implant in his Kernel.

This Kernel is the best in its kind. Voodoo/lagfix/OC etc. try to find out what your problem is instead of blaming this kernels creator. If your to lazy to go true the first post then dont complain if something isn't working at the way you wanted it to work.

This is my third post on this forum. And it is just pure coincidence that i post this on this forum threat but i got the same feeling when i'm reading doc's roms post or Hardcore's post.
