[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Well... Thank You for caring... LOL!!! Ya, I hope we can expect a new version soon and I hope the themes that seeARMS was working on porting are up soon as well.

The Hardcore kernel I flashed yesterday seems to be working very well indeed.

It actually charged up to 100% and after my regular usage as I had stated in previous posts, my charge is holding steady at 86% since 7:00am this morning (now 2:00pm my time). I installed juice defender as well so I hope it works out for me now... :D

I hope seeARMS returns to Hardcores kernels in the future unless SOK gets rid of that AWFUL VSF flickering screen thingy. It was making my screen go all "liney" and weird...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] homergoalie:
Hardcores 12R, currently for the kernel.

I used the sgs tools app to install a different gallery, it could be the same one seeArms has in his rom currently anyway so that could be a moot point.

I try to only use wifi when I'm at home and it hasn't been a lot as of late.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yep, that's it. Added the fr-CA dictionary / help files, and added it to the languages.lst file but it didn't show up in Swype settings. So, I just replaced the English-UK language with fr-CA and it worked fine.

I've tried Hardcore's kernel previously, and SOK is a better kernel in general imo. I might be able to create a flashable .ZIP to disable VSF if you'd like?

Also, I should have the blue theme you wanted up later tonight. Sorry it's taking so long.

Yeah, but it'd erase all data on your phone. First, open up the stock JL2 firmware and confirm it has the "Sbl.bin" file. Then use Odin, select the JL2 firmware in PDA, and select "Flash Bootloader".

Never considered that the gallery may be causing the battery issues... I'll look into this, thanks.

You shouldn't get any lag after a fresh install. To reinstall the ROM, just disable the lagfix, boot into recovery and choose Factory Reset, then just install the ROM again.

I've been working on essentially an all-in-one kitchen, built into the ROM (that doesn't require the use of any software or anything). You'll be able to choose kernels, themes, etc, and completely customize your ROM before flashing. Have just started on this, so hopefully it works out!

Stay tuned, folks. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
Sounds great seeARMS' I look forward to the next version especially if we get the option to customize it on our end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hey seeARMS ...

All that sounds great and I can't wait to get my blue theme... thanks so much for that.

I am really getting upset about my battery though... I don't understand it.

I flashed hardcores kernel,let the phone die and it charged up to 100%. Yesterday I got approximately 20 hours use which was way better than I was getting before but...

Last night I plugged in at about 40% battery with my phone on this time. When I unplugged this morning it again only showed 99% and now I've lost 7% battery in like half an hour. Grrrr... This is with juice defender as well.

I hope u can maybe solve this by changing back to stick gallery? Perhaps this IS what is causing the drain.

Keep up the awesome work bro and let me know what you find out...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kLuMzi:
Great news seeArms, cant wait for the new update.

Anyone else have problems with their touch keys?

Sometimes my menu/back keys lag. for example i press back, it wont go back instead the light will disappear and the only button that will work is the middle home button. When i press that it will then do a screenshot image without holding the back key? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
I have the same problem with my keys. Some will say it's a hardware issue but I disagree. I never had the issue with stock JL2. I gave up trying to figure it out and just deleted the screen capture app. Doesn't completely fix it but it is less annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dark4eons:
anyone else having issues with external sd?

I need to remove it physically and then replug it in to get access to the files stored in it, is it something to do with the lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Post #419 in page 42.. there's fix for the external SD problem..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dark4eons:
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the help and kinda feel a bit stupid since I should've done a search first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Still no blue theme? :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
No prob... I did the same thing... Twice :-S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
great job with the rom, thanks seeARM!

I noticed that the aosp lockscreen can be unlocked with the menu key. i don't think it's a bug with the rom but, from my research, a "feature" of the lockscreen. Just wondering if there was a way to stop this.

hope your exams went well!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pileot:
using STOCK ROM! (Not sure what will happen if your using custom roms, sometimes it can do bad things, be warned)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gfacer:
Some issues I am having

First of all - digging the rom. Its been fast and pretty stable and battery seems OK (its actually really good but most of that I have to give to changing wifi settings and juice defender which has basically doubled the battery but anyhow).

I've had a couple of issues that I am curious if anyone else has noticed or experienced. The first is that I have had some force closes and then 'lost' the market app twice. The odd thing is that I can go to another launcher that is included and find the market app, use it and then its back in Touchwhiz (which I prefer still) albeight in a different location in the apps pages and the shortcut is still gone.

I suspect that I may have lost other apps too but since I had to reinstall all my apps when I installed the rom I am not 100% sure except that there have been gaps in the apps screen and I haven't removed any apps since I flashed. But that was more in the early few days, since then I've noticed no new gaps so I could be just a little flakey on that one.

The market coming and going is something I can live with but I thought I would toss it out there as a possible bug.

Also, I have a few apps that I have repeatedly placed on a home screen and then they remove themselves. They are mostly ones for my daughter (princess fairy and princess coloring and disney princess puzzles).

I also seem to still have spotty gps but as I don't use that a ton its not a huge deal.

I have however wondered on the modems and gps issues that seeARMS' mentions in the FAQ if it is related to western vs eastern Canada? Since Bell and Telus share a network now basically I was wondering if a traditionally strong Bell area might yeild different results than I traditionally strong Telus area... I am in Vancouver myself.

Anyhow, keep up the good work. And yiannisthegreek, hows the hardcore kernel treating you?

Oh finally, does anyone here know if the gt-9000m screen on bootup is part of the boot animation? My previous flash changed it to say gt-9000m and then drop the m after a second and I had expected that to revert back to the regular 9000m when I flashed this rom, but it still lingers on.

Oh and like another poster, I am not coming from the official JL2 so if there is anyway to flash the secondary boot loader to be safe? (I actually have a virgin phone which may be a different batch? I certainly do not any specific reports of failures for virgin branded phones but it had Bell crapware on it when it was stock so I also can't see how it would be different).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
gfacer:

The boot screen 9000m -> 9000 is just from the custom kernel. They were pretty much all made for the international ver. Not an issue tho. Guess you could edit some files and compile your own kernel to 'fix' it, but it's just cosmetic!

I've had issues in the past with my phone becoming unstable after a week or so...then I get a rash of FC's, then apps would dissapear and eventually the phone would refuse to boot. Flashing to stock JL2 with bootloader option ticked in Odin seems to have fixed that. Then flashed a 2e kernel through Odin and flash seeARM's ROM from clockwork after that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gfacer:
Hmm problem is I cannot for the life of me connect to a PC via Odin or anything. I am no expert so I might be missing something but I've tried for days. Anyway to do it from the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
Thanks for the try. I guess it doesn't help with this ROM. Now my BACK/MENU don't work at all. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
When you plug the phone into the PC you should get the USB notification in the notification area of your phone. That is what happens with mine at any rate. Do you get that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gfacer:
Yeah I get the notification on the phone side (ie pick kies/usb mass storage etc) and on the notification tray. But nada on the computer side. I've removed and reinstalled drivers a billion times, tried on my computer and my wifes (laptops with win 7 and vista) with adb and odin and kies and then kies on 2 work computers (windows 7).

I've only tried odin/Andriod SDK on the laptops so I certainly could do more work on that side to see if a direct to the motherboard USB bus will work with ODIN on the computers at work or try an older xp machine too but its all just guess work.

When researching the issue there seems to be a different 'solution' on each post. That is if anyone suggests anything more than removing and reinstalling the drivers.

Anyhow, I'm going to leave that for now as its not really relevent to the ROM other than I need to look at everything through the lens of clockwork or steam until I try to figure it out again but PM if you have any other ideas and maybe I'll try them next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Sorry :/ Been trying to fix the black text but I keep running into errors. This, combined with trying to release the XWJS3 ROM, has been keepin' me a bit busy. I'm at work right now but I'll (hopefully) get the blue theme uploaded tonight.

Disabling that feature would require a small change in /res/values-hdpi-v4/bools.xml. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll look at getting that changed for you tonight as well.

That's odd that your apps are randomly disappearing; I haven't experienced anything like this.

Yeah, as someone else stated the dropping of the "M" is because all custom kernels are built off JPY/JPX sources, which isn't a Canadian ROM.

To flash the secondary boot loader, download the JL2 ROM from samfirmware.com, load up Odin, and put the file in the PDA box. Check Bootloader Update, and flash the ROM. It'll erase everything, so back up your data first. I'd do it if I were you; it really sucks having to send in a dead phone. I believe the "Vibrant" versions of the SGS are Bells, so I'd do it just to be safe.

No idea why it was doing that in the first place. To fix your buttons, flash stock JL2 then do the above commands. When you flash back to a different ROM, it should work fine.

Also, next version of this ROM will have multiple kernels, modems, and applications which you'd be able to choose before flashing. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
Interested to see your solution :)

loop

Hi seeArms,

I had the old v0.3 and my phone just 'bricked'. I tried to pair with my car's bluetooth (as I do every morning) and it didn't go all the way through. After that, my phone restarted and now I'm stuck in the home screen (eternal loop).

I downloaded the new v0.3 but, according to your instruction, we need to install from the sdcard (which I don't have access at this point). Can I install using Odin? If so, I use your room as PDA?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Did you have JL2 previously on your phone? (As in, you had the JL2 secondary boot loader installed?)

Don't use my ROM in Odin - my ROM is only available to flash through CWM. Try flashing official JL2 using Odin when your phone's in download mode, then flash my ROM afterwards.

Do you have access to recovery? If so, are you given any messages?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Thor_BR:
I had access to recovery, but I was able to find a JL2 room. I did what you just wrote. Now is working. \o/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Sorry Yiannis :(

I was aiming to release my XWJS3 ROM by tonight (And I did!) so I was working on it all day, and it took long than expected. :/

Tomorrow it'll get finished, I promise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:

sorry i am a noob, but i am trying to install this, but where do i put this in this internal sd, cuz when i try to do it, its telling me no file is found:confused:

do i have to change the name to update.zip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
No you don't have to rename the file.

Are you still running the stock recovery? If so you will have to flash a kernel that has clockworkmod recovery.

After that you should be able to choose the option to install zip from sd card. And pick the the file you want.

Check the install directions from one of the first posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Haven't fixed it yet; been working on my JS3 ROM. Now that it's released I'll try to get the themes fixed and released as well as a new version of the ROM including the customizable scripts.

Also, working on the blue theme Yiannis... Trying to get it uploaded tonight. Clearly I'm not the best at working with themes, that's why it's taking so long... :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:

@seeARMS,

I had asked D3StRoY to port me over his and R64's Generation X Blue Theme to use on this JL2 ROM and my wish has come true.

D3StRoY has made me a Theme Package for v0.3 of this ROM and I will be flashing it tonight when I get home from work.

If anyone is interested, take a look at the following link for screen shots of the theme and a list of goodies included. Again... It is the BLUE theme that has been ported.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898892

I will be giving it a test run starting tonight and if all works well then D3StRoY has said that I can post here in the thread for others to use so I will be the guinia pig for this theme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dark4eons:
I'm waiting to hear news on that, I'm on my third phone so I've learned to use proven software :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'll hopefully get it released within the next 3-5 days. Gonna try to get another version of my JS3 ROM released then get this one all fixed up.

Sounds good yiannis. Let us know if it all works great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
OK so...

I have installed the Blue Generation X theme that was ported from me but it seems to be missing the extended power menu and the extra lock screens (puzzle, epic, etc) other than that though it seems to be working very well ans is VERY nice... I will keep everyone posted as I hope D3StRoY will be able to get it fixed up for me / us.

@seeARMS, could the extended power menu and lockscreens be due to that they are not currently included in the ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dark4eons:
Is there anyone else using the Android keyboard (gingerbread)?

Did you notice that there's no haptic feedback on keypress? (or is it just my phone having this issue)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I believe it's an issue with the actual keyboard. See top of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930449
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dark4eons:
Yeah but it says it has the support and I've enabled it prior to posting in here... still no go, so that's why I was wondering if I'm the only one with the issue

*edit, downloading the zip from the thread seeARMS linked and installing it from cwm and haptic feedback is working, the one already onboard (Android keyboard) doesn't seem to get haptic feedback working on my phone

Need urgent help...

seearms,

I have sent you a PM with my issue and I hope you can help me. I was running great with my new theme and then tried to install a themed market and then my troubles started. When the new market installed and I went to reboot it now wont get past the BLACK SCREEN and the lights turn on. I dont see any error messages in recovery and I can get into recovery and dl mode still.

I tried reflashing the v0.3 no wipe rom and still no go.

PLEASE can someone help me? I may have to start over but if someone can tell me where to get the JL2 firmward for odin from and how to flash it then I will give it a try... :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Good to hear, I'll try including that one in the next release.

I had to do a Factory Reset and once I did it from CWM / 2e recovery and rebooted it worked just fine.

Again, I did not have any error messages coming up saying anything about sd cards or anything. I concider myself LUCKY and am very grateful for seeARMS help as I was scared SHI*LESS last night...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seven2099:
Love your rom!

Best one yet for i9000m.

only problem is stock lockscreen has menu button to unlock enabled. Its a bug because I know many custom ported lockscreens had this enabled but stock Gingerbread has none of this. Is it possible for you to disable this please?

Nothing sucks more than accidentally pressing the power or menu button, the screen turns on in my pocket and then i accidentally hit menu and the phone stays awake while i walk around or move around.

Very fast way to drain the battery.

Anyways, thanks!

After installing this ROM my phone stuck on Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen :( Had to reflash JL2. Tried two times - wipe-no wipe - same result :( What's wrong?

Flashed Super Optimized kernel. In CWM I click "install zip" - choose "seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.3-final.zip", it' shows installation process, making few very quick flashes in process with big blue sings "restarting" or something like that, than says "installed". I'm returning to the main menu, choosing "restart" and the phone hangs on Samsung screen...I wait few minutes - nothing happend.

The SuperOptimizedKernel causes the Samsung i9000M with Samsung Stock ROM - froyo 2.2 to fail in the mounting of the external SD card in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.

Only the Internal SD is accessible thru mass storage, while the External SD drive is greyed.

In fact, after plugging and unplugging the USB cable in Mass storage mode, upon checking "SD card and phone storage" in control panel, you'll find that external SD card is showing the same specifications of the Internal SD card, it looks as if the system is confusing the external sd card with the internal sd card.

SD card issue

I know I can look around (and I have a bit) but since I have had a few issues around this rom, I thought I would ask here first.

I think I have the SD card issue (rem I could not flash the full version with the secondary boot loader). Anyhow, my question is that most people talk about the phone dying and not being able to enter recovery etc. But mine will load up (with some for closes for widgets that no longer seem accessible) and enter CWM recovery (steam recovery is no longer available).

I cannot mount the sd in CWM or format it or do anything. It just seems a bit odd that the phone still loads up and I can still chose the launcher, still access the internet, still log in to gmail (I have to reenter the details each time though).

Yesterday I had an issue (should have been my first inkling) and I solved by flashing another speedmod kernel. Well I still lost my apps so today I got Ti backup and that ran twice so it was stressing the card more than usual.

On a side note, my ext sd card also seems to be sort of wiped. Just a log file re permission fixes, and android.secure folder and a lost.dir folder

Anybody know if its official?

Thanks G

I had similar issues with other ROMs before I flashed the offcial jl2 with the bootloader update. Since I flashed that, my problems seems to have disappeared. It's been almost 3 weeks without any of the symptoms (which would rear their ugly heads in under a week).

What steps did you take to flash the official Bell JL2? KIES is a POS and has never worked for me, but it was pretty easy to flash with Odin.

Have you looked to see what the partitions look like for the internal SD card (adb shell -> fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0) ? There are a few guides on how to try to fix issues yourself.
