It's even less battery drain than

RFS

! So, i'll try it(coz i think that i have more battery drain with EXT4 FS and i thinked that RFS is the best for battery :\ ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaycee1981:
Hi Guys!

Would you help me, please?

I just downloaded DamianGTO_Steam_1j_500HZ

I've put in my internal sd card and went to recovery. I tried to intall zip but nothing happens it says "installing updates....." or something similar.

What's wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 0x000:
you have to flash the kernel via odin in download mode. you can use this guide for the speemod kernel: http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Right now odin is only supported.

I will add more support soon.

I need first to test it so it works.

You can also try to use an other cwm file and change the zimage.

Open it up with 7-zip and change them.

Do NOT extract the files and repack them.

The zip file must be signed.

But i never tried it so....

Hi Damian! Just for youre info, I switched back from youre speed kernel to 1j.

3 times the phone hang and i couldnt do nothing but hold the power button for a restart. Now with youre 1j kernel the phone is almost as fast as speed kernel so i think ill stick with youre standard ones :) Its really stable and fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] richyy74:
After the first day my impressions regarding the speed version:

Absolutly fluid and quick, had not a single glitch. Battery usage is noticably higher, my usage pattern is quite irregular so I can only say that after 11 hours I am down to 30 percent thats with wifi on, sync on, althougether
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] richyy74:
I messed it up

So altogether cca 3-4 hours of webbrowsing 1 hour game and I would say another one this and that, a few longer calls, some 20 minutes connected to usb with 3000mAh battery. I would estimate that I lost 15-20 percent of battery life with the speed version compared to h with my kind of usage. The stock battery lasted 9-10 hours for me, extended not double of that, but I use the phone much more with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
That sounds great. It also means that this settings do alot for the battery, but compared to stock it should be maby 5% more, but with more speed.

Hmm i will make a version that's use most of the speed settings but with a bit less battery drain. Will post it later.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
***UPDATE***UPDATE***

I made a new kernel(1K)

This kernel is a hybrid between 1j and speed kernel.

It should be fast, but not drain more battery then stock.

I use 600HZ for this kernel.

I also found out you dont need to use afterburner when you shall flash a theme.

But you still need to change the script to update-script.

Then use the zip flash option in the recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edwinlinkt:

Love your Kernel.

But, still hoping that you'll include the lower brightness tweak ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rgb2003:
Firstly, thanks for your work on this steam kernel. I'm trying to get it working right but I have 2 problems.

1. I have a strange bug with Launcher Pro. Any setting that requires LP to restart (eg. changing to 3D draw) results in LP restart with default settings. So settings are not persistent. Uninstall/reinstall of LP did not fix this.

2.The theme I want has updater-script and update-binary. How do I convert to update-script to flash theme on steam kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Hi.

launcher pro is a buggy old program.

try go launcher or zeam. they are way better.

i guess launcher pro still got some settings saved on the sdcard.

download the afterburner and extract the zip file in it.

look at the update-script in that zip file.

most of the time you only need 2-3 lines for a theme.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rgb2003:
Thank you so much!

Go launcher is great, and my theme flashed perfectly :D

I didn't change anything on update-script. I just copied "app" and "framework" directories from theme into your Test.zip template and flashed that.

I also am using GenerationX theme, but I prefer blue :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:

Hi, Damian. Thx for your great work, your kernel is blazing fast! )

But I have one problem : when i choose configuration ext4-ext4-ext4+system-ext4+fake-efs, I'm loosing my signal - there is "unknown" in my baseband settings (i'm using jpe-modem). How i can fix this problem, or fake-efs killed my modem? :D

Sorry for my english. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] foxtd:
Planned sharpness & color fixes ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 0x000:
i have the same problem (using ext4 with encryption, ext2 for cache, don't know about the fake efs setting at the moment). i thought it had to do with the latest doc rom i'm using.

after starting the phone, i don't get any popup for entering the PIN code for the sim card but after a (longer) while it usually pops up. most of the time i can also work around this just by copying Stk.apk over to /system/app/ again every time i boot (although the file's already there). until the sim card is recognized it also shows "unknown" in baseband settings and no imei.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
thanks.

just power of the phone and restart it and it should work. if not just do it again.

i have seen it on many kernels but i never figure out what it is.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**

Hello Damian,

i got a little Problem with the latest Steam-Kernel 1k. When i use ext2 or another Lagfix like ext4, my Camera can't acces to the Photos i made. I opend the Gallery but it doesn't show anything. Also the Sensor doesn't work when i rotate my Phone. When the lagfix is disabled the Sensor and Gallery works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
this is not a kernel issue. it seems that you have a corrupted file system.

what firmware/rom do you use?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] donlk:

did you just flash it without wiping all your old data?

what did you check the space with?

I used JPY with 512 PIT then i installed JS5 from this thread over it without repartion and than i flashed the Kernel. I go into Settings after first boot and look there at SD-Card-Information from the Settings-Menu. And by the last Point stand 0 MB after the first boot when i have flashed the Kernel. I do a normal reboot and show again and then the Free Space will shown normaly.

I am using the 1k variant for two days now. Battery life is quite good. I got cca. 21-22 hours out of an extended battery with my kind of usage /moderate-heavy/. That is a little bit better than stock. Kernel is fast and fluid, I have not noticed any difference to 1200hz speed version.

I am using the steam kernels with stock jpy and data on ext2 for some time now and never had any problem. I see no reason for me too convert any other partition than /data and /system for root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
thanks. this is great news. it show that setting i did try really works.

using ext2 on data gives the most effect.

i do use ext2 on all just to get the most speed and it also works very good.

but i always hear other people that don't use ext2 that its so unsafe.

well its not.

thanks for your help.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sarutobi:
No i plug off the Cable and start the phone. What's about the Sensor-Problem how can i fix this Problem? When the Lagfix is activated the Sensor doens't recognize the rotarie and doesn't switch to the Landscape-View.

I tried all Vaiations off the Lagfix, with Binds without Binds, set the Marker to fix /system or not. All things i try, the Sensor doesn't response and on all Lagfix the Space-Info from SD-Card-Inforation show 0MB at the First boot after converting the system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
all of that works on the kernel.

you must have a corrupt system. that's why it works when you are on stock file system.

i did get this one time, but that was on a doc rom and when i did flash a new one all errors was gone.

so its not a kernel issue.

Some good news Damian!

The problem that caused the vibrations at first boot was in the Doc JS5 rom i cooked WITH bootanimation. Of course it was put into /system though you kernel supports /local. When i cooked another one WITHOUT that, it was just fine, everything works, root, lagfix and themes as well.

pfuuh, at last, thank you:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
strange. i do support both. but data is the best place for it.

maby that bootanimation is bad.

btw im working on one more kernel.

will be a replacements for my z4mod kernel. it will also support all script.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
In the recovery you do have a 32-bit gui.

So you basically has the same that you have after you start the phone.

This system you can change all partition to the file system you like.

It also the only system that all normal file system works.

I do try alot and i have other kernels to, but if i mess up my system so other system don't work then i use this kernel to fix the phone.

This kernel has only 2 drawbacks

It only support the older script system and you must change system to an other file system then stock to make it work.

But it still the best and most advanced recovery.

I will put out a new version soon.

I also know steam recovery will be developed for 2.3 also and all function will work.

What is the mayor difference between this kernel and the ultimate. Beyond recovery obviusly. There is any perfomance gain between each other?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
I think the ultimate kernel is a bit faster.

The last version i was planning to us in ultimate Rom, but i was angry about the script issue. So i sat down and made a new one that all works in recovery.

In the same process i found a couple of things i changed so it was faster.

Well here is a test steam kernel for OC/UV.

Its the same kernel base that the ultimate kernel has, but with steam recovery.

So all function in steam recovery is the same as before.

BUT its over clocked to 1200MHZ and Under volt is 100 as default.

You cant change this.

So flash ONLY if you KNOW this working on your phone

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Hi,

Just tested your Ultimate and now Steam kernel.

In Ultimate I could not select convert /system so I select all EXT2

After conversion recovery said it was now EXT2 but it was actually still RFS!!

As I wanted ALL EXT2 incl. /system I then tried Steam kernel.

I selected all EXT2 and fake /Efs

After backing up data, creating md5, it rebooted the phone and all data was lost I could not recover!!!

So now I have returned to the Voodoo kernel and have restored using Titanium Backup.

note: Using nordic version of SGS I9000 (XEE) running stock I9000XWJS7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
If you did a backup in the recovery before you did the conversion you should have use the restore and all would work.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.2 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Well... I tried to. First I converted all back to RFS and then hit restore... nothing!

I looked at the log file:

-------------------------------------------------------

...

STAGE 3 STARTING

...

umount: can't forcibly umount /res/.tmp: Invalid argument

...

rm: can't remove '/system/bin/fat.format': No such file or directory

...

STAGE 5 STARTING

...

can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory

...

umount: can't forcibly umount /dev/block/loop4: Invalid argument

...

tmp/sys/efs/.nv2.bak.md5

mkdir: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/steam': File exists

--------------------------------------------------------

Last error was at last line and does not make sense to me... Of course /mnt/sdcard/steam/ exists.. this log file is in there!!!

This kernel is not very good at checking nor error handling... Does it make sure it got the right busybox etc before starting conversion? Invalid argument does not look good to me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well I think you read the logfile wrong.

Most its information and its not errors.

Sometimes its to much information and its easy to think all is errors.

But I know things work and I still font know what you did to break things.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.2 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rgb2003:
Could we have one with variable UV?

-100mv was not stable before on my phone :(.... but I want to try anyway, can always recover :D

I'm really hoping you can make something with the features and theming simplicity of Ultimate and advanced recovery of Steam. But I I know this is a difficult task! So, thanks anyway for your continued development of these kernels.

Edit:

Tried to flash from ultimate recovery but it won't let me.

-> Finding update package...

-> Opening update package...

-> Installing update...

Then, nothing. Just stops. Phone reboots fine though, so no changes at all are made.

Ey Damian.

Told you I'd get back with my findings.

So far it's very stable. Running all lagfixes on ext2 (wish it were ext4 default though). Not using loop-mode though (though I'm sure it'll work just fine, just didn't test it).

I also use the diskcencryption feature (THAT IS THE MAIN REASON I USE THIS KERNEL!!!) and it works flawlessly! Getting a quadrant score of 1700 with those settings, but I don't care much. Phone works fast, don't notice the encryption at all. Would like to just be able to type in a password the normal way. The current way is not the right way to do it, because it's insecure because of the fact that the movements can be traced later on.

Speed is fine, haven't tested GPS yet though. Will try that tomorrow on my cartrip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Its the right version.

Root should work.

**DamianGTO steam kernel.300HZ.346MB Ram. Doc beta theme**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Nice.

Well i will only support rts and ext2.

Ext2 is faster then ext4 and it working without any problem.

Many do talk bs on ext2, but they dont know what they talking about.

If you want safe amd slow filsystem then use rts or other system then ext2.;-)

I have not tested the disc encryption system.

I still need the steam source working before i can do any change to the default settings.

Im glad that so far none have reported any unstable thing in the kernel.
