[Galaxy S I9000 General] zoubidou:
tks for your good work first.

And here are some thoughts.

You know Murphy's law (if something can go wrong, it will go wrong earlier or later)

The question is: how much time are you ready to spend on answering questions about problems people have, which you have already answered. It makes you even angry sometimes and I understand this. A better Q/A separated from the thread would make things easier.

In fact there is a view points which should be changed.

First of all the whole kernel problem. Different kernels do or don't work with your rom.

there should be a way to be more collaborative and make sure every kernel writer has the spec's to work with your rom, or at least can state that his don't work definitively.

Even if you do derivative work, it should as much as possible come closed to the specifications of the stock kernel, this way it prevents from the different kernels not working with yours.

Second: why do you have to release the rom with a kernel different from the stock.

with ODIN you can flash separately PDA, MODEM, CSC why not adding kernel to it.

And there is certainly a way to include the parameters concerning lagfix and anything, this way one composes his ROM, and loads it into his phone. If not using ODIN, it should be possible to workout something similar with CWM like including an xml configuring the whole thing.

Third: I have done some customization once yours is installed (theme, animations, and different launchers, circle battery etc..)

and each time i upgrade I have to start the whole sh... over.

In fact what you are doing is allowing the people to customize their galaxy s as per there whishes, and thats the whole purpose of this. The battery and GPS pb a part, and the performance is only dependent on the kernel anyway.

Who says customizing says every and each installation differs besides common trunk.

Thus there is now way of delivering something very standard full blown.

It would be good if you look into , how people can keep their own customizations without redoing the whole thing again which often is tricky.

I think about something like the kitchen for circle battery.

It would be nice if something like this exists but specifically for the Galaxy S (I will have a look into this) were you just throw in, different apps (like gingerbread keyboard), frameworks and so on, and it cooks your rom, you could also include modems and CSC's.

Now there is even KIES over the air, why not use this to update the rom.

well thats not all, but some thoughts.

By the way concerning Battery and GPS, I figured that the performance of both vary during the lifecycle of a ROM and may change from one day to another without reflashing.

Concerning GPS I think the pb is definitively hardware related (ie the chip used by SAMSUNG) which is probably instable. I have never experienced such a problem on an iPhone which sync's a soon as you hit the GPS on button, because even 5 sec's is to long.

Concerning battery life, it is very much the same and it can change from one day to another without any explanation. It is probably environment dependant and somewhat battery dependent.

In fact I found out that if your battery drain goes bad, it will remain bad no matter what ROM you are flashing.

Maybe just completely discharging the battery and recharging it to 100% will help, maybe just removing the battery for an hour, let it rest will also help, who knows.

Happy flashing (ahem merry christmas to everybody, and happy new year).
