Bla, ill end the conversation there, purely because of the massive drive of boo to rfs, lets have a faster system, oh man my phone last one hour..

Just gets silly after a while......

I must be in the wrong job if I work with file systems...

At the end of the day its down to user preference, and that the user must understand the pros and cons. Simple. Can't have it all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brunes:
NO, the theory is NOT SOLID. Nothing you said makes any sense at all and your analogy makes even less sense.

EXT4 is a filesystem, it is the default filesystem of the linux kernel. Every single Linux install uses it by default, from set top boxes to laptops to netbooks to server farms. The idea that it somehow "eats battery" is total nonsense. It's a filesytem, filesystems use very little CPU relative to the overall system. The idea that EXT4 would use more overall CPU than RFS is crazy.

The only POSSIBLE reason ext4 might use more battery than RFS is if someone did not disable ext4 journaling and thus would be writing more to the SD card than RFS, but if they're doing that they are not following instructions.

And even then the amount of additional battery drain would be minuscule, we're talking fractions of a percent / day, and only if you were writing data all the time, which would be highly unusual. It would certainly not add up to the 10%-20% / hour battery drain people have.

Hi all,

This is a great forum, but im new to this stuff.

Will the Theme template (Stock Android (AOSP) lockscreen, JPO) work on a original JPO rom updated via Kies?

If yes should i just flash the zip via recovery mode?

I just bought my great SGS on Saturday, and dont feel like installing a full rom just yet.

Tnx

Hi Doc, any intention to have an add-on pack for the latest Swype beta? I managed to fudged it to replace the built-in version, but I'm sure many would appreciate an easier way.

Of course, I'm also not sure if it's legal to do so with the beta, but since Swype is built into SGS, might it better?

Some details here.

I suggest you to use the sgs for 1-2 weeks, fall in love with it, identify your problems with it, then try a different rom and start over again:-)

You'll definitely not be dissapointed with it.

DocRambone,

Thanks for your great work, as well as other contributors!

This ROM flies! It's the best 2.2 ROM I had so far. I can really feel the performance uplift! much better.

Keep it up!

Hmmmm.. You are really going to make me have to reflash aren't you.. Just when I got everything perfect in v5 slim! :D

Thx for all the hard work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
You can go to recovery menu and wipe the cache clean. And while you are at it you can also flash the Dalvik-Cache cleaner the doc posted a few posts back from cwm.

PS: For the dalvik-cache cleaner, you will need to use adb push filename /sdcard if you are getting FCs which keep you from being able to mount the USB though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
just reflashed JM8 back, then flashed v5.1, and the process took like ~ 1 min, not 5 mins as kalpik stated in the faq, i hope it is normal :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
it varies - safer to say 5 min so people dont start worrying too early and jump the gun. But 1 min is fine - dont worry.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] initrd:
got the same issue. ugpraded to v5.1, rebooted, applied doc's theme from cwr, rebooted, applied (supplied) voodoo pre6 from cwr, rebooted. phone never made past the galaxy i9000 screen. no recovery but have download mode working (phew!)

can i simply flash a different kernel like cf-root v1.2 through odin and get the phone back up? or should i redo vanilla jp6/jpm from odin? :confused:

edit: i remembered too late that i had not deleted the "disable-voodoo" file. but that should not have stopped the phone from booting, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalpik:
Hmm.. There seems to be an issue if you flash Voodoo kernel after enabling any lagfix/tweaks from the sztupy kernel.. Try and avoid doing that..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
ok, just flashed the 341mb kernel and applied ext4 for all, seems good, but i have 2 question, to add stock lockscreen via CW do i need to rename it update.zip? to install touchwiz back, i just move the apk to /system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
If you are ready to flash vanilla firmare, you might as well check if flashing kernel alone works.

If you lagfixed, you are better off flashing one of szutpy's kernels. If not lagfixed, you can flash cf's kernel. Before flashing cf's kernel, make sure your partitions are rfs - mount command from adb shell will tell you that even if the phone is not up fully.

PS: leaving disable-lagfix shouldnt stop you from getting it up.... it wont convert to ext4 - check the status with mount command from adb console.

PPS: given that you want to try voodoo - why not flash a voodoo kernel instead of CF or sztupy's

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] initrd:

I changed the background icons to transparent ones in your optimized TW Launcher. You said I should "at least" zipalign the changed apk.

I already zipalign it with

zipalign.exe -v 4 TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.ori TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

but i have no idea if you would do something else.

If you need gps like hell, try ONBOARD/offline gps navigation programs. or try a external gps bluetooth receiver...or both.

Google Maps is free but.... unstable and dependable on many factors like good 3G/Gprs coverage and stability - the right full A-gps(supl) settings etc.:

Some bluetooth gps receivers have a size of a keyholder

The one I use is a little bigger but it got a large (replaceable) battery that last forever:

But....the moment that the BMW starts to really make use of that horsepower to run faster than the Prius (real life) it will consume more fuel.

You dont buy that BMW to run as slow as a Prius.....

Just like when the sgs starts to open programs faster, going threw menus faster

it will need more energy.....

Or is the modding bringing the original linux file system to life?

I just got too lazy to read all those tutorials.....

Spend all that energy with WM abd Symbian devices.....

I never experienced serious lag problems,not with eclair, neither with froyo, but I will try this rom (after I'll learn and understand a little bit more about Android and Linux) just because I want it faster....it's more fun.....

SD Card Capacity

Thanks for the Rom, I have already installed a few days ago and little by little I understood how to do it.

I have only one question after making reeboot, I done it with backup and restore alternative (I cant remember now the name of the alternative but it was with back up and restore). I've done it several times and saw how the memory consumed, I guess its by the successive back ups. I want to delete the backups to recover memory and I can not find them to delete, can someone guide me to do it? Thanks, sorry my English, I'm using Google translator but some changes are mine. Thanks again for everything. Carlos

Doc, Kalpik, to the WiFi issue:

As others, i had the same wifi problem that it stucks at "obtaining IP address" state, not able to connect to a specific router. I solved it with wifi static application, and it appears now that the problem is connected with one router only. We have a router at my workplace and the problem with DHCP doesn't persist.

Probably sth remains in some sort of caches, but neither wipe cache partition nor wipe dalvik are able to clear it.

I understand that you cannot reproduce the bug, but maybe you have some ideas what the problem's origin could be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:
Or with the original one..you just have to install ScreenCapture from the medium or full package and then when you want to do a screen shot just hold the back button and press the home button ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uppon2:
I didn't know this. Thanks for the extra information. With drocap2 you can set it on a timer or simply shake the phone when you would like it to capture the screenshot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dbchoong:
I think I experience the same thing. I noticed my battery was dropping about 10% every hour even when I did not use the phone and all apps were closed. The phone was also warm (not hot) to the touch.

What I did was un-mount the external SD and I noticed that the phone cooled down. Battery consumption dropped to maybe 1% per hour.

I remounted the external SD and I moved all apps installed in the external SD back to the phone. Results is good. Phone feels cool and battery is also 1% per hour.

Btw, I'm using JPO + Full Package + Lagfix No-RFS Advanced EXT4. Galaxy S GT-I9000.

Hello. I am testing kernels for battery usage and I am now using Hardcores speedmod kernel i1_2-250hz-r2-CWM - All tweaks enabled - No lagfix

I would like to say that i was using i1.1-250hz for about a week but this new one is working much better for me.

I believe my phone has a very honest battery :) I'm not claiming my battery is lasting for 4 days with moderate use and I'm not claiming that I'm losing 30% every hour. Hopefully this might interest average users with average battery usage

I am using JPO Doc 7.6.2 - JPD Modem - Dena theme - Launcher pro plus - Beautiful Widgets

Below are the figures. I played about 20 minutes worth of games but didn't run anything else serious besides using WiFi for an hour or so

Ok this rom really rocks! Fast, lite, perfect.

Just a question though. I try to enable the BLN via cwm, but it fails everytime... I doubt that I'm doing it wrong, since it's nothing that complicated anyway, point is though that I cannot get it to work... I even downloaded the app from the original thread but it detects I'm using an old kernel version or something, so no light there either..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w83:
Followed the procedure and ended up with no phone:

Baseband: Unknown

Any solution to that ?

Tried applying the JPD and JPM modems manually but still nothing changed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -Loom-:
I'm still trying to understand the difference between a full firmware, like from samfirmware.com and a custom rom like this.

The way I see it: The original full firmware is a huge package of over 280 MB, and contains cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, param.lsf and zImage.

I know that zImage is actually the kernel itself, which is easily replacable by a different one, like Hardcore's.

What about 'factoryfs.rfs' ? I suppose this is the whole system, including all apps, folders etc. Like a system image actually, which explains the huge file-size of over 270 MB.

So, when you install a custom rom on top of the complete firmware, how is the rom been integrated? Or is is really necessary to install the complete firmware before installing a custom rom? Or could I like, for example, just wipe the phone and install only a custom rom with all the software packages?

When you got a bricked phone, and you want to revert to the original firmware, it's advised to first flash to an older firmware, like JM, then to JPO or whatever, and then install the custom rom and kernel on top of this. Why the downgrade before the upgarde?

Sorry if some of these questions sound stupid, but I just want to understand the installation process, in order to avoid some mistakes in the future, and of course out of pure curiosity. Just like the feeling of control over my gadgets ;-)

You need to restore your EFS data from a previously backed up EFS backup.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] antarctos:
That reference was not meant as a sane analogy :) What I was trying to say is that no matter your hardware, in the end it's how you use (or abuse) it that decides how much juice you burn through.

But sure, I want to utilize the power of my phone to the fullest. But then I don't complain if I drain my battery quicker! If I need my phone to stay alive longer, I'm more careful with what I use it for.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zzz777:
when i had that problem, i flashed again my phone before applying simple root

i don't think you can swap from advanced to simple root

Hey guys, I have a small problem, which is I can't apply any lagfix from Clockwork Mod :(

I had NO-RFS overkill ext4 lagfix, and everything was working perfectly. I had to reboot my phone, so I did it the soft way, normal shutdown then turned my phone on.

After that, the phone got stuck at the Galaxy S logo for a couple of minutes, then it vibrated just like it does when the system wants to Force Close an application... I rebooted again, kept having the same problem over and over.

So to fix this, I restored a backup I made, and I had to disable the lagfix, now every time I try to enable any LagFix, I face that same problem.

Any idea on how to fix it? Should I flash the ROM again? :/
