[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
Note: lag is very subjective, each individual has their own view, I just want to share my experience here. This tweak may or may not work for you

My Froyo version:

Baseband: I9000XXJPP

Build Number: FROYO.XWJPA

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 curio@carton #6 (indicates Froyo with Voodoo5 beta Pre6)

Launcher: TwLauncher (default)

I had voodoo5 beta Pre6 installed on my Froyo, but I still feel that the performance is still not as good as my previous ROM (Eclair XWJM9, Tayutama full version + voodoo4 beta + OC + Spare Parts + LauncherPro).

After Install Spare Parts, I make the following setting change, and now I feel* that my Froyo is better in response (by reducing the animation waiting time)

Download Spare Parts from market

Launch Spare Parts, under General > Window Animations, adjust it from "Normal" to "Fast"

DONE.

You can chane the Transition Animation speed too if you want to.

Of course, changing launcher will help, I do like some feature comes with TwLauncher (not a fans to look for application by alphabetica order, prefer grouping).

Hopes this will help, maybe you can leave a msg or feedback / or vote to see if this works for you.

* This is very subjective, I do not have any figure or benchmark to support this.

By the End of November for sure....For now i am using JP6 Froyo...But need Public release now... :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
All's good... Except battery life. :-( and growing tired of waiting for official froyo! Even worse is knowing I have to deal with crappy kies when it does come out instead of getting it OTA like how the other brands are providing the update...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Kies update on air. Should be getting froyo soon. Froyo roll out in Europe has started. Pl post any further news.

Hi,

battery life is not good at all.... 1 day max usage.... :(

other than that.....phone is pretty good. there is some lag in it ......hope froyo will fix it.

Update Kies. NO froyo on kies as of now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Guys any idea as to when do we get Froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Got kies update today but no froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
If the phone is generic, why is update taking so long to come to india. I would think they will release generic version first!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spankyu:
the froyo update is out in the uk only.. as of last night officially through kies.. no sign of it here .. guess it should be out by the end or mid-way November:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rachitboom2:
Well i am currently on JPO via odin (obviously not via kies), with lag fix, and i must say this is the fastest and the smoothest rom i have used on i9000 yet !

I just hope whatever rom that is released for india is as good as JPO cuzz i dont want to be on some other regions firmware.

And by the way all my friends who have iPhones are really :eek: when they see my i9000... So m pretty happy with his awesome cell.

Hope froyo is released soon in india.

Cheers.

Query about battery

Hi,

Anybody seen this?

1) Put the phone on charging at night. I try to avoid doing that but had to do it this one time.

2) The phone shows charged 100% in the morning, with the notification to unplug the charger.

3) I start using the phone and within 3 hrs it goes to 0 and conks off.

4) I put it again on charging and within 5 min, it shows 40% charged!

Nilesh

P.S Any news on Froyo in India?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lasitha85:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Pl do let me know where to get these batteries from. Will surely need them once 3g rolls out. Anyways was hoping that Froyo would be my Diwali gift from Samsung.......... Anyways Happy Diwali to all.

wat do u guys think :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
The screen is too small. And isn't that vibrant. Though it runs quite smoothly, easy to root and a lot of roms roaming around. If I were u I would wait for Froyo on galaxy s or wait for desire hd.

Is there a way to turn off the HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH button light permanently? I just want the screen on and the buttons to remain off.

LED'S HACK keeps restarting my phone, Some script i found in XDA turns it back on when u turn on and off the screen.... I was hoping for something permanent

thanks

LED'S HACK keeps restarting my phone,

thanks[/QUOTE]

I use LedsHack, turn off, then go into froyo manage applications and force close it. It you don't it has a running application..The program stops asking superuser rights and the cap lights stay off until a rreboot.

I have never had it restart my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamDonot:
Hello all, just picked up my shiney new HTC HD7, very impressed with it so far. Only thing is I cant seem to get my contacts sync'd. All my contacts are saved in my google account, so I it set up, even have the contacts options checked on the mail setting, no joy, will retrieve email find, but no contacts. I then allowed my hotmail account to access my google contacts, so they have all appeared in my hotmail account (when I log in using my PC). Now I have added my hotmail account to the phone, contacts now sync, but the numbers do no, just the names, any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamDonot:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Argh! I just tryed to restore back to JM1 from JPO due to official FroYo being near. Flashed plenty of times before so I know what I'm doing. Set up the usual pda, modem csc etc and it started to flash then my phone went from the download mode screen to a greyish colour. I left it for a few minutes and nothing was happening and the flash had failed. Took the cable out pressed the power button and that was it, it will no longer turn on. Has anyone got any ideas, I wouldn't ask for help if I didn't need it.

Thanks guys.

Edit: My phone from stock has been able to access download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bsamurai:
Hope you have your lagfix disabled prior to flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yep, always make sure thats the first thing I do. I'm quite an avid user of xda so I tend to keep up with what to do etc. I really have no idea whats happened. I've tried holding down the download mode combo for a while and nothings happened. When I connect the usb to the computer nothing happens, take it out and put it back in a few time I hear the 'noise' thing from Windows 7. So there must be some kind of life in it :\
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdyl69:
I recently did the same thing with my SGS. I bricked it once already trying to flash so was really apprehensive about doing it again but I'm addicted to flashing from my WinMo days with HTC phones.

When I flashed from JPO to JM1 I used all the JM1 files (PDA, Modem and CSC), the 512.pit and selected repartition and all went well. Sounds like something may have glitched when doing yours, maybe a spike in the power or temporary loss of comms between phone and PC?

Have you looked into the homemade JIG thats been detailed in XDA? Might be worth a try if you're completely locked out
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
You could try this as it happend to me a few time backs

Remove the battery, hold down the buttons for download mode and dont let it go find a way to insert the battery.

Let us know when its done!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yeah I've seen those JIG's and I think atm that may be the only thing that will save me atm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Tried that :\ No luck unfortunately! This is what happens when your addicted to ROM flashing. Maybe I need help haha. Going to hold in download mode buttons for as long as I can to see if anything happens, will report back.

EDIT: Right finally getting somewhere. After holding in the download mode combination for 5 minutes I managed to get into download mode. I really have no idea why though? Anyways Odin isn't playing ball. Odin won't get past factoryrfs.rfs. I'll leave it there and see what happens

EDIT 2 : Nothing. Can anyone help me on this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Got help elsewhere, run kies in comparability mode for windows xp and run as admin. Phones working for the time being (:

Thanks for the help from those who contributed, it means alot.

Edit I didn't notice how many errors i had when trying to use the 8pen keyboard To type my post i think i will just stick to swype its much easier
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crotchety:
Wow...the level of hypocrisy on XDA is just astounding. You have people playing the warez police (some of them moderators, some not) in every thread when someone even asks about an app but none of them mention anything about the "tweaks" and "fixes" to get tethering for free which is flat out ripping off the mobile providers (not that I'm crying for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint etc). I get that they have to cover their asses and distributing warez on XDA is not a road they ought to go down, but to **** a brick when somebody links to an article that links to yet another site where an app may be located is just asinine, especially while deliberately overlooking things like unlocking free tethering which is basically theft of service.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Product F(RED):
Back on topic, I kind of see this as counter-intuitive. As said before, Swype makes more sense because it improves on something we already know how to use vastly. This is like reinventing the wheel. Almost literally.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Biofall:
Everyone referring to warez and hypocrisy, please sh.

Anyway, I kinda agree with yall. The way it works is simple enough, and it doesn't take as long as you'd think to learn where the keys are. Just like swype, it takes time to get used to. Literally with ten minutes I've got it down, just by typing the same couple of words over and over again. The key behind this is that it becomes a muscle memory process of thoughts to words, without the middle ground of a keyboard layout.

I'm still the world's biggest advocate for swype, but I'll sure give this a chance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Igotsanevo4g:
Its just a 1.50

Cmon ...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] daktah:
good post!

really awkward at first but really cool! ill probably make this my new default keyboard after it starts to get second naturey

just wish you could go between the regular ordered layout like in the beginning of the demo vid and the enhanced layout it actually has
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
its not worth the 1.50 its a POS keyboard imho
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] backdown:
For people saying its junk and blah blah blah..you have to give it more than a day to get use to it >.>
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lithid-cm:
I am using 8pen and actually like it. I like different. Its very easy to use once you get used to the letters layout. While i still switch to the stock board every now and then I use it every change im not pressured to type fast. I think that once I have this keyboard understood I would be able to type way faster then a swipe or qwerty user imo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
I agree with an earlier post, he didn't technically post Warez, just an article (while I would say it's still against the rules, this is still kind of a grey area haha). However, those of you calling him an idiot/saying he should be banned because he's distributing all I can say is really? How many of you are using Swype? How many of you are tethering without paying your carrier? Don't act all righteous, he's just new ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] abe_ahmed09:

Lol we may never know.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] crpercodani:
I actually bought 8 pen and have been using it the past 2 days. Its tricky at first because your learning a whole new way to type but once you memorize the layout you never need to look at the screen again.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Brutal-Force:
I am giving this a try, but so far I can't even type a damn letter. I will have to do it when I have more time. Good concept, poor implementation. Should be some sort of gradual upgrade. Or maybe allow you to tap the letter on the screen as a backup.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pinksupervisor:
it's actually not that hard. there's a tutorial that shows you how to use it. I'm not fast by any means, but i'm a lot better than yesterday.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheMagicalSock:
I'm getting this pretty well now. Things are picking up pretty quickly. Once you memorize all the gestures, it gets a lot easier. I use it whenever I'm not in a hurry, though. Haha.

You can use it blind once you know the layout. Pretty hard to blind type with swype and the stock keyboard.

Factory reset will only reset current firmware. You need to get the 1.6 flash tool from the development section and install the 1.6 firmware back onto device. REMEMBER use 1.6flash tool not 2.1 flash tool.

B. Install a custom rom?

C. Apply SAPPIMG if I seriously **** something up?

D. MOST IMPORTANT - nandroid back to where I am now?
