gps on JPO 7.5

I'm having trouble on getting constant gps fix with JPO 7.5, and I'm sure its not hardware related because gps works fine with JM8_JM4. Searched and found no one complaining about this, am I alone with this problem? :confused:

If yes, do you think is flash related? Found no other problem on this rom, actually is fast with no FCs and I feel no battery drain (ext4 on data only). Thumbs up to Doc ;).

Before you ask, come from JM8_JM4, followed instructions, factory reset before and after flash, wipe data and cache.

Already changed gps.conf to europe settings, and tweaked as suggested on the (unfortunally) numerous threads about gps on sgs, but no success. The only way to stable gpx fix, was using TrackerBooster but of course readings were very inaccurate.

Come from windows mobile, where radio (phone in android I think) could be installed with several roms (pda) versions. Do you know if I could mix JM4 phone with JPO pda?

I'm out of ideas :(, any help?

Anyone else having problems with Swype?

When the auto-capitalisation option is on, it sometimes capitalises my first two words (or first two letters if I'm typing) and with the auto-space option on, it sometimes adds a space before my first word.

I've tried installing the version linked in this post, but I keep getting force closes (and I followed Pele's guide from a few pages back, but I still get them).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
funny you should mention that, as when i was like half asleep, and using IE, i noticed that i got TWO capital letters... i thought i was double tapping lol.

ok which rom version are you running ? JPA or JPO v7.0.1 or v7.5
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lunasea:
No prob here. Have you tried any of the swype versions on the 2nd post?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
No it deos not...

This rom changed my salescode to xee or xeu, can't remember... Gotta change my csc via the *#272*imei# method
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
I did get the double caps but weirdly it fixed itself.

Hi,

I have a Vodafone UK (16GB) SGS and would like to upgrade to 2.2. What is the easiest way to do this as I'm not very techy? I heard that it was possible through Kies?

Thanks, Ash

first BIG THNX for Disable_increasing_ring for JPO !! : ) ) )

battery: went to sleep, it was 97%, woke up 9 hours later and it was 92%. sweet, i think :), well it did go to 90% in a 15 minutes of morning work, but i think the result is great. jpo7.5 ROCKS my world :)

So any way to install Samsung Widgets on JPO. I used the full package from the first page but they didn't come up in Widgets list.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
hey doc! putting your optimized LP in the rom would be great.

stock kernel perhaps? with a goodies section with all the great kernels available for that certain firmware? or have the stock kernel downloadable ;D

some really like the modded TW launcher stop that might be a good addition!

just some ideas! thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] parikksit:
This is screwing my battery like anything... any fixes for that please? Used WiFi all day long and battery went down by 60 % in 8th hrs..

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrjay:
don't worry dude. i have a backup. i backup the phone almost every day. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:
I think we should consider what someone already said..a DocRom-Wiki where we would have different topics..because if you're offline for a few hours you can't really catch up with the whole thread and the biggest problem is that there are the same questions 20 times or so..people should SEARCH instead of just asking the same and the same again! I think in a wiki you could better split things up and then the search would be easier for lazy people and therefore there would be less SPAM :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
nice one... your comment just made me laugh

"excellent, now my phone resested :( "

hahahhaah

btw why did you have to do your csc ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zurchpet:
question to selfmade update.zip from SpeedMod GT4 Kernel

Hy guys

Is it save to replace the zImage of one of the addon kernels by myself and flash it, or do I have to do something first for it to work?

I'm a little afraid to just flash the modified ZIP and wanted to ask first.

Thanks for your help and this great ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
yeah i think its wise now, im like a Doc's helper now but its getting to much... i even woke up in the middle of the night to check posts WTF !?!?!?

I think there is already work under way for some sort of DOC's BIBLE

He guys, how is your battery? I have lost 15% in 5h standby? Normal? I use the JPA 7.5 Rom with the JFS no overkill Lagfix and DenaTheme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrjay:
not sure :)

i'm kinda slow today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhpianist:
Got to do something with Gallery app, it seems to be using the Sensor, even if you force closed Gallery, it still uses the battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danmullen:
I wish someone could shed some light on this, as I'm not almost at the point where I need to plug my phone in again, even though it was 100% at 8am!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lunasea:
I don't think this is only related with Doc's rom. And it's not only related to people asking the same thing over and over again.

First people that never flashed a ROM before SHOULD READ THIS FIRST: [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!]

As stated on the title MUST READ!!! Unfortunally, imho it was a very bad decision to put this thread on General. Should be in this forum, as people jump right into it looking for the latest froyo.

Then, AFTER knowing how things work you can jump to your rom of choice and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS on first post (it might happen on some rom threads lack of info, but you can't blame Doc and Kalpin for not sharing with you all you need to know).

Another problem (again my two cents) in this threads is that there are some subjects that shouldnt be post here, for example the recursive subject about ext4 on data vs on all, or jfs, my battery is better than yours or yada yada yada should be posted on [KERNEL][101022] Universal lagfix [EXT4,JFS] and tweak kernel [BLN] {0.3}, which suprisingly is on page 3 of this forum. This lagfix is based on the work of sztupy (which is based on many other good contributers of this forum), I don't think it should be Doc making support on this issues. How many of you guys with battery probs CHECKED THIS THREAD ALREADY?

Then, theres the casual "I'm to lazy to do search", which I guess theres no need to talk about, anyone nows the bottom line. And don't come with "ho, this thread is huge, i'm totally lost in it..." thing. Here's a new flash for you: IT'S F*NG HUGE BECAUSE OF YOUR F*NG LAZINESS.

peace
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
I noticed a thing, if you have wifi settings/advanced at wifi always on, it will take 4-5% battery/h, against 1%/hour with "wifi off when screen off".

So check your settings.

For me it look as the latest modem JPP is very power thirsty. Thy to flash the jpm modem to see if its better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Well, good news, and bad news re: Gallary, Sensor usage, and excess battery drain.

Good: a quick google search shows this is a problem on even stock firmwares, not just Doc's.

Bad: I haven't found any solution through Google search yet.

Added info: logcat on my phone suggests it's the light sensor that is the culprit. I'd assumed that since it was the Gallery giving excess usage that it was perhaps the tilt sensors (for that 3D tilting effect).

Speculation: if it is the light sensor, maybe turning on or off the the "power saving" and/or the "auto brightness" modes in Display Settings may help.

Request: Anyone with this issue, please play with those settings and monitor. Report back if there's any impact, positive or negative. I will do the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
That's disappointing. I've always had WiFi never off with this phone without that kind of drain.

Will flash the JPM modem to check later today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lunasea:
I feel no problems on my battery usage, and most of the day have auto rotation disabled (issue already pointed out by kalpik on this thread), and auto brightness.

EDIT: and using ext4 on data...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CroSladi:
Would be cool if Doc & helpers were moderators and could just delete or displace offtopics and multiple questions..in a german forum "Android-Hilfe.de" it's better..there they're removing such posts ;)

hmm doc, quote me wrong, but i have a feeling you are working on v8.0...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Your point about these phones not being quad core computers is of course a good one, but it's not unreasonable to expect that a 1ghz CPU device working off solid state memory should not have lag. My Nexus One certainly does not lag…ever. It's had the same ROM on it for a couple of months, no wipes, no clearing, nothing; just good solid snappy performance.

It's not unreasonable to expect the same from the i9000, which is arguably equipped with much better hardware.

It's mentioned that RFS seems to corrupt many times in all the thousands and thousands of posts discussing lag fixes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lchsu:
And here I was thinking that I was the only one with this problem! Unfortunately, I have to report that this is not fixed in V7.5, at least for me - I am getting 3 copies of my pictures in gallery.

Strangely enough, I had this problem when I upgraded from V5.1 to V7 - same thing, triplicates of everything. However, that mysteriously went away after I flashed an add-on. Unfortunately I cannot remember what add-on but I believe it was either the circle battery mod (via UOT), or the extended power menu.

Not sure this is really a bug, but if anyone has an answer to the triplicates, I would appreciate it.

Also, with the reports of gallery sensor usage: mine also pretty much says the same thing - pretty much usage since opening gallery.

By the way, I'm running V7.6 JPO with modified full apps upgrade; JPO swype add-on; stock SGS lockscreen with extended menu and Vi circle mod (via UOT); No-RFS Advanced Ext4 with all tweaks - so far, looks like the best ROM I've had! Many thanks to Doc and Kalpik!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
That's great that your battery is fine. It's acknowledged for some that there is an issue with battery and a couple of different causes: Kalpik says auto-rotate, Doc says perhaps the hardcore kernel.

There are numerous reports since the last 8-10 hours by different users that they have "excessive" drain and that Spare Parts reports the Gallery app is using excess sensor time and essentially never turns off. This is new to my phone on V7 of Doc's rom, which suggested an issue with the rom to me, but I believe it's actually an issue with some JPx versions of Froyo itself given that stock firmware (JP6) users report it in another thread.

It may be off topic to discuss it here, now that it doesn't appear to be a Doc-induced issue...

P.S. - I don't use auto-rotate just because the phone is too quick to rotate, and too slow to complete the rotation re-draw once it decides to do it, even with all the lag fix methods. Battery drain for that reason not an issue for me. LOL

edit 2: I suspect it's the "power saving mode" if it's anything to do with the light sensor - I usually have that off as I don't like the way it dims the screen sometimes; but I did have it on with the latest rom flashes. I've turned it off and will report back later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alekos panagulis:
Yes.

I flashed Dena Theme, and i dont like. Too sophisticated. I like the plain and simple Doc's Theme, but i also want AOSP lockscreen and extendend power menu. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Have a look at your sd, media-scanner makes thumbs of the images it find, so delete the thumbs and reboot, media scanner will update the media archive and duplicates should be gone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zurchpet:
I'll give it a go...

Galaxy is now fully charged. I'm feeling lucky. If I'm not, I'll have to be without my baby until I get home tonight. I have no Windows or Linux PC here at work.

Wish me luck...

OK as it stands NOW I am at last happy with my SGS, 1st time since I bought it ;)

Dena theme, docs 7.5, diabled increasing ringtone and OCLF v2 and its a nice bit of kit. Now I am going to leave it alone for a while...

Doc please DONT release any new roms for 24 hours so I can get a break ;) LOL

Yeah i know what you mean, i tend to class smartphones as mini centrino laptops.... things should start getting better once we see 1gb ram phones :D, then we wouldnt have to worry about the ghz.

mmm about the rfs, i have not really read much into it, but im sure samsung used it for a reason, of course there are so many choices out there with pro's and con's, i dunno. i just know from experience that any FS is prone to the failure, from dirty fat all the way to nano-system or what ever is in the pipeline after this and next generation is long gone lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lchsu:
Oops! Sorry, typo....should be V7.5! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zurchpet:
It worked!

It seems to have worked out well. The Galaxy S is now scanning media.

It booted.

New Kernel is loaded and running.

No need to resign. I just replaced the zImage file with Stuffit Archive Manager. :)

Great. I still have not replaced the SBL with one that works for Heimdall on Mac OS X. So this is a way for me to testout kernels by flashing them from within the phone. No need for Odin. :-)

Me's happy!

You mean the Denatheme? There are green dots over the icon..when the strenght is good there are more dots (5 or so) and sometimes there's just one dot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Well, it's not the power saving mode. Turned that off and it had no impact on the Gallery sensor usage constantly growing along with the uptime of the phone.

Rebooted the phone, haven't started Gallery, Spare Parts reports zero battery/sensor usage for Gallery.

However, Spare Parts now reports that Android System is using 100% sensor time matching the boot uptime of the phone. This is with auto-rotation turned on (by mistake, was playing with it before last reboot). Turning off auto-rotate does not stop the drain. This supports Kalpik's belief that auto-rotate kills battery.

I turned off auto-rotate, rebooted, and now nothing is using sensor time unreasonably, but I haven't touched Gallery, and I haven't touched auto-rotate.

I'm looking at different copies of Gallery that I have. From different ROMs, both eclair and fray, and they all have the same version number, but interestingly, they're all different sizes (from 400kb to 1.1mb). Unless someone else has a better suggestion, I may uninstall Gallery and try one of these other versions I have. There's even a copy of Gallery3d in the Market.

Just for record: JPO v7, Dena theme, NO RFS ext 4, no changes to modem or kernel.

I'm on JPOv7.5 with a few app from either medium and full. running the new dena theme. Also running superpower and autokiller.

I'm havein skipping during movie playback. Movies that didn't skip in stock SGS eclaire JM2.

Anyone else having video playback skipping in 2.2?

question for Doc

Hello Doc, are you in anticipation of releasing a new rom in a few days? because I want to flash the 7.5 and I would not like that after you release the 7.6 .... :p :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
Sorry, I should have put that. I'm running JPO 7.5, so I've flashed the JPO swype from the second post.

After installing JPA v7.5 the home button of the phone no longer seems to work in the OS (it does nothing). The button works OK when going to recovery. Is there any setting for this that I have missed ? Tx... :)

At some point on froyo whiskeybro added bar dots above dena icon (I left that in jpa) and I went different way for my edits making it change color based on strenght (blue full, and as.it gets lower green then brown etc. same as battery mods normally are) and implemented that on jpo.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
I'm rubbish at English today.

I'm running JPO 7.5, so I originally flashed the JPO swype from the second post, that's the one that's still giving me problems. It's version 2.1.41.10155, and there was a link to a later version (2.6 something I think), but I couldn't install that without getting force closes everytime I tried to use swype. I was able to put the original swype back without any problems though. I tried following your guide and completely removed all trace of swype through titanium backup and cleared the relevant files from dalvik-cache (I think), but I couldn't get it to work.

It's not a major issue and it doesn't happen all the time, I was just wondering if it affected anyone else and if it's possible to upgrade to a newer swype.

I did have the same sort of force closes when I first flashed JPO swpye onto JPO 7.5 and in the end I did a factory reset and started again, so I might have a look at doing that later to see if I can get it to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Und3rtaker:
same here, everything is ok, 7.5 JPO, after 9 hours of sleep i got drop from 97 to 92%, with wi-fi on..

dont worry about the english,... check my flag LOL, my english is shocking... dunno if its cause im british-caribbean lmao.. anyway.. hmmm

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Just copying my post from kernel thread, so everyone can see it, maybe even can be added somewhere in opening posts as advantages of this rom (as its really the advantage of this rom):

Tried out the highmem kernel. Works pretty good. And combining it with docs (without mods) latest rom, which due to extremetly good zipalighn uses 5-7mb less for each program/service makes just amazing phone.

I now have 22 aps running (including internet), launcherpro (also heavy ram) and 5 system processes.

All in all 28 aps/background processes/services. And I have 90 mb left! And, phone is blindingly fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kavsko:
First of all, congrats to these 2 devs...

Awesome work guys.

I'm using version 1.3 full, very happy with it but considering update to this new release, v5f full, specialy because of sztupy kernel enhancements.

Because I have the voodoo lagfix, how can I uninstall it for good.

I know I can disable it creating a folder named “disable lagfix”, but I wanted to know if I can uninstall it or if there's no reason on doing it!

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
The 5.1 rom will even be better, i try to optimize every apk, it takes a lot of time, but the result will be nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
There is no need to uninstall voodoo (which is just flashing different kernel) - since you will be flashing different kernel in this rom. Just disable it.

Also, there have been some reports in kernel thread that you can just flash universal lagfix ontop of voodoo without disabling it first. But I dont think it will work with full rom flash.

Very nice =) What would we do without you? Best of luck with your work (and everything else too) =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bierfreund:
This means that I can Flash the RAM FIX TO 327MB Kernel over your ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moreira86:
ok, after flashing this rom i dont need to put sztupy kernel because it already has it included right? the latest version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kavsko:
So, just to be sure, I create the "disable lagfix" folder.

Install this new version and then what do I do to the voodoo folder???

Can I delete it????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smacman:
Thanks! Off to go font hunting..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Yes, Though I recommend the kernel by sztupy (can be found in his thread or in ram thred, cant remember which). Its smaller, so you want experience screen tear on boot.

Yes, no need. It has latest released version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Yes, just disable lagfix, reboot (to system so it can be converted back) and after that flash this rom.

voodoo folder, well, probably can delete it, but it essentially does nothing - just sits there taking 2 megs of space =) Just leave for simplicity =)
