no zip can be installed through recovery, i dont think you should use this yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
You can use filemanager in the recovery to install zip.

Some stuff in the recovery dont work thats why i choose to call it alpha.

Do try that first.

Would be nice with the log file;-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
I just thought i'd try that. I went to file manager, tapped on sdcard. It showed it was empty. I tried a couple times. Then i tried apply a .zip from the 1st menu and it installed so 4.6.2 cwm.zip. I'll go back to steam in a minute and try getting you some log files
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
This is steam kernel so try to learn about it. All info is on the first post.

I just support this now. Don't do much development. But it should change with gingerbread.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rgb2003:
oops, I forgot this is only odin flashable :o.

I was actually using steam before ultimate.

Anyway, all working now. But maybe you should write to flash with odin on first post to avoid confusion.

Any chance of a zip-recovery install package rather than a tar-Odin one. Thanks. Makes easy to do it on the fly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Never done a cwm zip install file.

Maby i do an app, but i need to test it first that it work. Some tryed an old steam kernel, but it did not work.

Hi..

Am I okay to replace the zimage of your Kernel straight into the .zip I have generated on the kitchen ??

I have done this but I still have no root.. I have superuser installed,

I have just factory reset.. Booted and still not root...

A positive is that I can install any .zip from recovery, so trying booting up with supercurio, and trying Steam again with odin this time..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Try it:-9

Go into recovery and install superuser. That should solve it.

lol. so clueless.. i feel sorry for you ryanza ;(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Woow ...

Nice to see the progress of your work!

Will check it out later today :)

And like you said in an earlyer post ...

The most of us dont know how to recompile it with jpx sources. Thats why nobody did this before ;)

I tryed it, but since all that stuff is way to complicated for me, as i just started, i quit that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
It's strange.. I have done that many times.

Now I can flash a new rom from steam recovery, I just can't get root.. If I flash a different kernel from recovery, reboot root os fine.. Please see my log report, wee shat you can make of it ..

Sorry Damian I should have uploaded this last night.. I fell asleep on my sofa.. Phone in hand.. Fridays are never my best night for staying awake. Not like they used to be.. Getting older now. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
a lot of bad stuff

just cooked a rom from docs beta-kitchen.

there wasnt a single thing working with the steam kernel.

lost root, couldnt be rooted again

sim-card not found

half of my apps dont work anymore ......

gonna check the logs to see if i can find anything interresting

couldnt read the logs :S

recovery not working!!

not able to flash anything!!

biggest bug: after flashing another rom, sim-card still not found.

the rom/kernel made some changes that aint good!!

will reflash stock with odin. see if it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Hint: to make a CWM package just download ANY CWM package containing kernel and replace zImage. Easy as pie.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Damian... what up with the kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Borky_16:
A short Question.. :D

When the Kernel is Stable.. OC? UV?

and another Question.. I think the convert to ext4 is included to the Steam Kernel.. I like ext4 because it is a bit safer than ext2.. i think so ^^ or i'm false?

So whi you only have the option for ext2/rfs ? -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
It will be almost the same that the other kernel i make.

This is my own steam kernel. So no ext4.

Not much safer and you could use rts if you want to be safe..

I want speed and the only filesystem that get speed is ext2.

I know some people say ext2 is so unsafe, but thats a lie.

many system run ext2 without any problem and sgs is alot safer then a computer system.

Also oclf run ext2 on the rft filesystem and so far there is not many that has any problem with ext2.

The true is that i have seen alot more strange thing and corruption on ext4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Hi all.

I been working to fix a bug with this kernel. Its random when you have root or not. Somtimes you even have a half root. :’(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Good morning damian

From the last 5 flashes of a kitchenrom + steam, 3 times my S got messed up bigtime.

Now its working and i managed to get it rooted like this:

Full boot after flash, install su from recovery, reboot into recovery, install su again, full boot.

Maybe it was just a coinsidance, but it worked 2 times for me.

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Tryed that way to. Worked one time.

I think its some file thats messing up all. 2 of 10 times i flashed now i get root.

2 times i did get a half root.

Some program get root some don't.

So i need to know why.

I hope i will solve it in a couple of days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
A quick thought ....

doc roms are pre-rooted, can that create some issues?

Dont know exactly where all the files are installed, but can it be that the pre-root from doc doesnt work ok with steam. As some of the files got mixed up?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
I tried with Rom and stock.

But i guess its some file that mess up. I just need to find what file.

Lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
That means replacing files one by one? Good luck! :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Some more things found ...

After changing the bootanimation from the default samsung to the android, the animations got mixed!

Really looks like ****! :D

I dl the afterburner zip file and installed it ... I really dont notice any difference on anything??

If you are interessed, i posted some benchmark results in docs thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Yes the boot animation don't work good on the sgs if you choose other then stock.

I tryed that with my other kernel to.

But i use an other way to change boot animation.

Shall look at that benchmark.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
WTF :eek:

I lost root after converting back to rfs ....

Maybe using the fake /efs option is related to that.

When i used it i had root, and now im back to all rfs its gone.

Will try ext2+fake /efs again in the morning
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Hmm that was fun.

I must check that out. I know i had ext2 and fake efs when i did have root.

Edit..

I did convert and i did get the root.

I then did convert back and its gone.

Wtf is this???

I guess i have to wait for the answer from the steam creator.

But he is gone right now....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Update.

To get root you must convert system to ext2.

That's the only way right now to get root back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Converting back to ext2 + fake /efs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Efs don't matter. It works with system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Im on ext2 now and have root again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Good. I hope to find out what's the different is. The file should not change at all and it should not be any different accept for a different file system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
how long does it take to install steam?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Should not take long.

After you have flashed it then you just restart the phone and it will soon show you an option to install it. Then it will restart and run until you get the phone up. Then it will restart again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
new to steam

i cannot seem to install it, when i select install it shows the steam logo and nothing happens.

i can use it without steam installed, but tweaks,bln lagfix dont work.

can anyone please help

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
is there any dialog supposed to be on screen, is just the logo, nothing else
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
You can use the power button to change from log to meny.

But it should restart right.

I never had any problem to install it.

Had you some lagfix or anything else before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
disabled lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
So the phone works but freezes when you press install steam kernel?

Is your phone rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
i flashed speedmod, applied root again and disabled tweaks

trying steam install now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
i flashed speedmod, applied root again and disabled tweaks

trying steam install now

EDIT:

no go, when i selected install, some text came down from top to bottom in a split second. still it steam logo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
it was, maybe i lost it

i selected the root option in speedmod and it rooted successfully
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Can you go into recovery?

Try to wipe the catch and restart and try to install again.

If thats not work try to install supersede and restart the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
recovery works

i was able to flash speedmod from steam.

so you want me to flash steam and wipe cache and davlik cache and try installing again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Only if you want to.;-)

It should work.

But it seams that something don't let it install right.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
ok in steam

install superuser:simple

it says

partition /dev/block/st19 could not be mounted
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Did you let the phone start up after you did flashed it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
ill try that

but when i boot, it asks me to install or not, i choose not and it hangs at steam logo

grrr.

flashing again

edit: yep wont let me past steam logo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
YES GOT IT WORKING,it rebooting

Thanks damien
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
i made a CWM steam file in my appreciation for your work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donlk:
Damian, did you solve the zip update problem? Last time i checked both the root and the zip problem existed, now that one of them is gone, maybe the other is fixed as well.

Also, did you try to update any zip with the new update-script? How does it behave?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
i cant install zips either
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mark.doe:
Is there a tutorial around?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Have not checked. Tricky did say it worked for him.

But i can check it.

You can also check the log file.

Just go into recovery first and save it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:

We seriously need to debate File-systems again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Have not had time to check it.

But it should encrypt the partition so you can't look at it if you don't have the code. Can be usefull if you have important info on it and are afraid that it will come out if you loose the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
I remember thread ages ago about it; not here

Sent from that Green Robot Device with a 4"screen, chewing on some froyo(with an extra .1)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well i just think ext2 is the best file system. I want speed. If you want to be very safe then use iphone....;-)

I don't see the point to use very safe ext4 and got almost same speed that rts has.

But it drains more battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
So everything relatively works instead of zips.

I remember it working once, forget if I had root or not and if I was on ext2 grrrrr.

Hi and bye

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Thanks for chipping in here, I have FULL support for a working Steam Kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Yes i do understand, but the kernel will be bigger and its always wast of ram if you don't use them. Every bit you can remove from the kernel that's not used make it smaller and a bit faster.

I don't like to put more overhead in the kernel.

But i will look into it if i can make ext4 without wasting ram.

My thought is to use ext2 on /data for speed. Maby /system ( read only so it should be safe)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
Do you have any idea why installing zips doesnt work? I get the status 2 error.

Would love to see it working perfectly.

Sent from that Green Robot Device with a 4"screen, chewing on some froyo(with an extra .1)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
No. I have not been able to try it yet.

I don't have the control over steam module. Need to know how to compile it first so i can make change to it.

I guess i need to setup a new linux box for it so it don't mess with my kernel stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:

I can actually install zips from recovery ... succesfull!

Ext2 all, no loop, fake /efs and afterburner installed and in afterburner i changed something but cant remember what
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Dont know if he used the latest recovery.

Else its the same module i use.

I hope he will soon come online to sort things out.

I guess he is the only one that knows what to do with the errors.

I have done alot of test for him know and he could easy make e new version that works.

I also want to now if there is any way i can control the menys in the steam module.

Some stuff is not needed for my kernel so they are not any reason why they should be there.

None of the tweaks in there works. I do change them late in the boot anyways.

It also has optimized cfq io schedule, but i dont even have that in the kernel.

I use deadline..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Sounds good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
In fact ... I think/feel it is 100% working atm :D

I have uploaded a new version of the kernel.

I have removed all things that was not needed.

Steam has alot built in so i just made steam to handle it.

I also remove all symlink after boot, so it should not interfere with the phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Some Q's ...

*Why is steam running on older busybox?

Is there a reason for that, or does it not matter?

*And about the -0,4MB difference between 1b and 1c ...

what did you strip out?

*maybe an idea to let it convert to ext2 by default?

Like supercurio's voodoo does
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Busybox is in the steam module. So it run on that one in recovery.

When you booted up the phone it should use the one you have on the phone.

I did remove all bin files from /sbin and only use symlink to steam module. That saves space.

After boot i do remove all symlink that's not needed.

I want the user have the choice to convert if he want. But right now its a bug in the steam module that break root on rts, like you know.

I do like steam recovery but its need to be upgraded. But right now i can't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
Hi DamianGto

Back with Steam GTO, I inserted the z into a precooked rom, just booted about 3 times.. Seems okay (no root) so back to recovery and just watching it convert.

I hope this goes well, I like the touch recovery.. I hope you get the answers that you need..

Wierd my phone has factory reset.

I cannot install anything from the Market as it says 'no free space'

Even stranger, I booted into recovery, checked lagfix options, 'done nothing'

Backed out rebooted and all my previous files are now their eg sgs tools, quickboot etc, Zeam did not remember settings though
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Sounds fun

Check you catche partition is okay. If that's broken then you get error when downloading from market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
All seems fine after a reboot.. Maybe not quite finished lag fixing..

Going into recovery goes through 10 stages.. I don't remember that before..

Not able to flash cwm's this time.. Didn't try before changing to EXT2 .. Quadrant score was 1722 on 3rd run

Included Log for info.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
I don't remember if i turned off the log stuff in the config file. Lol.

You can se all message if you want, but most is not needed for a common user.

I make a new kernel right now.

I want to try to compress the initramfs again and make it 500HZ.

Need to have some fun. Lol..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
Good luck with that. I will check back in the morning :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
can flash kernel zips in 1c, not regular zips though :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Still on steam 1b ... Dont dare to flash an other rom or kernel.

Steam is still 100% working for me and dont want to lose it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Sounds nice.

I just flash the phone.

Just put the steam kernel in jpy firmware and Flashed.

Hmm. Did not like the stock firmware so i cooked a Rom.and put the kernel in.

Seems to work.

Have not tested a zip yet.

Have you time to upload the afterburner you did use and a theme that is right.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] racerboy3801:
ok big bug report

in 1c i cant mount usb, it just charges.

flashed speedmod and usb worked properly

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
auhauhauha :d
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Not much. Just did se if i could make the kernel a bit better.

But right now im installing a new linux box and all compiler stuff and the steam SOURCE CODE.

I hope i will find any fun in it.

I will compile a new steam module if all goes well and se if that works better.

But it will take some time before i can compile. Much to install and configure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cypher_X:
Time doesnt matter that much.

Better to wait a week longer, then that we push you to rush it all and make mistakes ;)

Just got home from a 16 hr shift :s

Im to tired to do anything atm.

Will pm you the link with my kernel/rom in it. Afterburner from "

nexus s ginger on steam" thread

Will note down my settings tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
** UPDATE ***

Now i have tested alot.

I have found a way to install theme with this steam engine.

1. you need to use afterburner to make them install.

2. you need to put the them in the afterburner.zip.

3. If the theme use updater-script and update-binary they DONT work.

you need to convert the script to update-script and delete the two other files.

If you dont know how to do it just ask and you will get help.

I will upload an basic afterburner file soon
