Anything anyone would specifically like to see in v0.4? (Other than the 4 lockscreens / extended power menu. I'll try to include them but no promises!)

Boot animations, applications, functionality, etc? I'm giving users the option of choosing kernels, modems, and a few other things, so if anyone has a request I could include it as an optional install.

I spent a few hours today trying to figure out why my installation script wasn't running successfully. I re-read the updater script and installation script many, many times and couldn't see anything... Then I realized I added an extra semi-colon in one spot which caused the script to exit. :( Such a small error causes such a big problem.

Unfortunately yeah. Haven't had a chance to look at it recently. I'll get it fixed up after I release v0.4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
Would be nice if ThinkFree office could be given as an option to be installed back into existing roms.

What happened to the USB options? Kies/USB Mass Storage/MTP ?

It just defaults to asking me if I want to connect with MTP. What happened?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
can't seem to find:

Settings --> About Phone --> USB

is it just me? or can anyone else find the option there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
It should be under settings > wireless and networks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
yes it is, thank you!!! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
You found a single extra semi colon hiding in a bunch of script? Wow. lol. That's like a needle in a haystack hahaha.

As for what to add to next release. Hrm....There is nothing major I can think of, other than the aforementioned multiple lock screens and extended power menu. It runs like butter as is. v0.3 comes packed with Super Optimized Kernel right? Can you swap to Hardcore's Speedmod Kernel for the next release instead? It also has the ext4 lagfix, Voodoo Sound etc, but seems to be less buggy (no random brightness fluctuations due to Voodoo Color) than SOK. Both yiannisthegreek and I swapped over to Hardcore due to issues with SOK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Maybe you can check if it's possible to add a landscape dial pad..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'll be creating a flashable application add-on pack which would contain ThinkFree.

Yeah, I'm including both SpeedMod and SOK in the next release. Users will be able to choose the kernel they prefer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
I would like to see titanium backup free (at least in the wipe version) and don't forget to keep french canadian swype in it... :-)

Thanks for all that work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w98seeng:
This is by far the best anf fastest custom ROM yet. I have tried Darlly's, DOC's and a couple of others and I always return to this one. No FC's, good bettery life.

The only thing I would like to see is a slimmed down version. The first thing I do after flashing a ROM is to remove all the apps (bloatware) I don't use, like the TV app, PVR app, Social Hub, Dual clock, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hey seeARMS

Perhaps if you take a peek into the Gen X blue themes code/script you can find something useful for fixing the Gingermix theme menu bug? I really don't know but its a suggestion... :-)

As for anything new... perhaps adding some different animations into the rom as I had mentioned before and really... for me I'm mostly interested in the lockscreens and extended power menu. Perhaps the removal of "bloatware" would be good too?

PS... to anyone using the Gen x blue theme... once a new rom is released and IF the lockscreens and power menu are added I will have to have D3StRoY add / modify the theme a bit before it will be complete for the NEW rom... Just a heads up on that...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Oh good. I was wondering about that. I killed the PVR and TV apps but I left social hub because I wasn't sure if deleting it would cause any issues. I see you have so now I can safely delete it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
V0.4 Requests

1. Extended Power Menu

2. ThinkFree Office

I would understand if you slimmed it down and removed some of the apps that are not needed (tunes, samsung hub and the remote pvr). My only request is that anything that gets removed also is available as a download addon. I actually use most of those apps so losing them would be a pain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Can you include the Bell PVR app if you end up stripping it out? I use this app off and on when I'm traveling to record shows remotely.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Will this be the case going forward? having to get D3StRoY to fix the theme if seeAMRS adds certain features to the rom? I wonder if seeARMS could take over this special theme, since it's been modified to our phones. That way he could fix/modify the theme as needed going forward.

Not that I mind someone else fixing/modifying the theme, just a thought :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
This could be an option as well if seeARMS is up to it and if D3StRoY doesnt mind seeARMS fiddling with his creation... LOL!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Will do, I'll include it as an optional install (using scripting).

Thanks!

I'll consider making a slimmed down version, that's actually a good idea. Or at least I'll make the PVR, social hub, etc applications as optional installs.

I'll take a look at the Gen X theme and see what I can do.

If I eventually make modifications to the UI, such as extended power menu and lockscreens, I could easily include in the Gen X theme, that's not a problem. The only difficult thing involving themes is porting them over to different ROMs entirely; making minor modifications is easy.

EDIT: Didn't see your post above this one. I'm up to it, and I don't think D3str0y would mind. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pileot:
When i tried that one there was a test function on it, basically it said my kernel was not supported.

Which kernel are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I was using Super Optimized Kernal and overclocking was supported, but I have since switched to Hardcore's speedmod kernal (I was having issues with SOK). Speedmod Kernal works with SetCPU, but overclocking doesn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Do I have to remove lagfix when installing a theme?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Nope, you can install it without removing the lagfix fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
I got the blue theme on there and I really am liking it. I have also moved to the speedmod kernel.

Is the samsung social hub the same as the samsung email app or are they seperate?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Thanks for the theme! I'll install it tonight!

Samsung hub is just samsung email and samsung ''messenger'' in the same app. You can use 2 apps or just Samsung Hub.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
So if I got this right, if the Samsung Hub is removed from the rom, then the Samsung Email will also be romoved? So if it comes to it SeeArms, please don't remove the apps without suppling a link to the apps so we can add them back if needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
I think you can keep Samsung email and delete samsung hub.. Check it with Root explorer...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trdcameleon:
Wow! The Blue theme is very nice!! Mixed with ADW Launcher EX Gingerbread blue theme and Beautiful widget, it's very very nice!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dj_m:
you can use a power widget like switch pro or extended controls to turn it off manually when you dont need it

@gibmcfragger thanks for the tip but it solved by it self
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Man. The longer I use this rom the more I love it. It's so wicked fast. Battery life is excellent and GPS is blazing fast too. Combined with Speedmod kernel it pwns. Oh yea.....I said pwns.....hahaha :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w98seeng:
SO, I've been on v0.3 for about a week and everything was going great. This morning I connected my USB cable to the phone and it started to run very slow so I closed everything and rebooted the phone. The phone would get past the Galaxy S splash-screen and then continuously repeat triple vibrations.

I had a bit of trouble getting my computer to see the phone in download mode and I couldn't install anything from the external SD card in CWM.

Finally I got Odin to work with the phone and flashed the stock JL2 again. Let's see how the phone acts in the near future. I hope my internal SD isn't going again.

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
Loving the blue theme and this rom. Roms been working great since you released it Seearms.

If you are still taking requests for v0.4, how about a blue theme Android Market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
@bdking2,

I am using the blue themed market found in the themes and apps thread.

IF you use it... make sure you install it through rom manager and NOT flash it through CWM. The CWM way almost killed my phone for some reason but installing through rom manager was quick and easy and the themed market looks awesome!!!

I'm on my device so I can't show u the link but search it the themes and apps thread and u will find them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
Gotta say, this ROM is like a supercar. Performance is like no other, but the mileage is abysmal. Get maybe 6 hours...

I have tried a **** tonne of apps and settings to give the battery life a helping hand, but to no avail.

If you have any ideas, please, let me know. SeeARMs any ideas?

I have a few logcat logs I will post later that may give some insight
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Went out of town to a bike show at 11am (97% battery), texted, phoned, browsed the web, installed a couple apps over 3g, checked out some live wallpapers, checked email and twitter for most of the day. Just got home @ 62% 11 hours later.

JL2 modem and speedmod k12r-500 kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
WELL LAADEEDAA MR. I've-got-a-million-hour-battery-life!

Haha, no idea why it sucks for me.

Others have also had bad battery life with it aswell though.

Edit: probably is superopto kernel. I dont wanna lose my overclock :( my battery sucks at 1ghz anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I had the Super Optimized Kernel for the first few days and it drank the battery. I couldn't figure out what was causing it. I could watch the percentage tick down.

I swapped to Hardcore Speedmod Kernel (for another issue I had with SOK) and now battery life is incredible. Coincidence? I'm not sure.

Yes, I lost the ability to overclock, but 200mhz is nothing anyways. Hardly noticeable.

I pull mine off the charger at 6am daily and do some browsing on 3G, some texting, and a phonecall or two, and I am usually at around 55-60% remaining 12hrs later.

At the moment I am off the charger 14hrs and I have 48% remaining.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Whoa, are you clocked @ 1.4ghz as your .sig says? That might be part of your poor battery life! Try out hardcore's speedmod kernel for a few days and see if you get better battery life. I had pretty poor battery usage with the default .3 rom's kernel choice as well.

How much stuff do you have checking for updates in the background? I've pretty much turned off most auto updates for apps as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
Ya it is, but like i said, it drains like crazy at 1ghz anyways. Its a hugely noticable performance boost that I cant think about not having. But i will probably take the plunge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Is there really a noticeable difference between 1ghz and 1.4ghz on seeARMS rom? Or are you referring to 1ghz on the stock rom vs 1.4 on SEEARMS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] markywylder:
Deodexing

Hey all...Slap me if I'm asking in the wrong place, but I'm taking a shot at my own firmware/mod based on JL2 for us fellow Canadians, but I'm having a bit of an issue with deodexing. I'm running Cygdrive Kitchen as we speak and ran the deodex command, (for System/App), but it seems like every file it comes across it tries a hundred different scripts on dependencies and ends up aborting anyway because none will work. ANY help is appreciated :):confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Got me. I know as much about coding as I do about knitting a pair of socks....:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
You are posting in the wrong place but perhaps SeeARMS knows what you are talking about... unfortunately I have no idea how to help you...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
That's unfortunate to hear, let's hope your internal SD card doesn't die.

It'll be included in v0.4.

I'd recommend giving SpeedMod a try. I'm uploading v0.4 right now, so wait a few hours and give it a go when it's done. (It'll include both SpeedMod and SOK, just select SpeedMod at install).

Try giving dsixda's Android kitchen a go, it includes a deodexing script which is a bit more user-friendly. Forgot to say, it's in the Chef Central section of the forums.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
v.04 is almost ready for the masses? Sweet! I can't wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] markywylder:
Thanks a bunch, will do. Awesome Rom btw, :) sorry for cluttering the page!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
SeeARMS,

Can u give us an update as to what's new in v0.4?

Extended power menu? Lockscreens?

Here to hoping... lol... :-)

PS... is there anyway to get us a transparent status bar?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
I installed it last night actually. Didn't notice any batt life difference for the first charge, but we will see over time. Performance is noticably lower for me, mostly because its no longer OCed.

Also, my GPS no longer kicks on. But it has nothing to do with speedmod as it first broke in SOK. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
v0.4 is up!

Major overhaul; allows users to select different kernels, modems, applications, Generation X theme, circle battery mod, wipe, etc! Read the changelog for more info. Also, read the installation instructions for instructions on how to install this ROM; it's different than other ROMs.

Just a note: I strongly recommend backing up your data before installing this ROM! It's always better to be safe than sorry, and something's going to go wrong eventually (it always does. :) )

Not too sure. I'd give v0.4 a go, and select SpeedMod (and wipe if you wish).

For the GPS, try following the GPS FAQ on the main page.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Sweet! Ill download it when I am on my comp next and give it a go! Thanks again for all your work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. What am I doing wrong? When I install the .zip from CWR, it installs 2 default.API files then kicks me to 3e recovery and then aborts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
Thanks for the update seeARMs!!

Does 0.4 include ThinkOffice?

Can there a way to install ThinkOffice for existing 0.3 users as a package?

I love 0.3 already and just want ThinkOffice back, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, in this case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. Tried again and now it's going. Although it's been sitting at "Installing update......." for a little too long now.. Hrm...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
Any further details on what is new with v0.4? Kernel? Additions? Apps that got left out? Downloading now regardless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. I rebooted and crossed my fingers because the install froze. It didn't even start as I didn't get to choose what kernel I wanted or anything like that. Maybe my downloaded copy is corrupt. I am going to re download it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Everything I changed is in the changelog, applications and all.

You should read the installation instructions. The reason it froze was because you didn't extract it. :) You don't choose the kernels you want after you start installing, you have to delete files after copying it to your SD card. Reading the installation instructions should make it much clearer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hahaha Ok, sorry. Maybe I should read them...............

*EDIT* Oh.....look at that. You completely changed the install instructions.........hehehe *whistles innocently*:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Lol, np, I woulda made the same mistake. I should have made it clearer to read the instructions, because installing this is slightly different than installing other ROMs, so it's easy to get confused. (and sorry if I sounded like a **** in that post, didn't mean to :p)

I'll upload it in a second.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Haha No worries man. I didn't think you sounded like I ****. I should have checked. I just assumed it was the same deal as v.03 as you didn't mention that you updated the install instructions, or at least I didn't bother to see if you did. I just downloaded and went to install. heh.

Ok. Time to do it properly.............. :D

*EDIT* Oh look, it's working this time......................hahaha

And now I have no launcher. Only a black screen. Perhaps it's time for a factory reset.

That didn't help. It's screwed. Damnit!

*EDIT* Ok. I re-flashed it again after doing a factory reset and it worked this time. I didn't even get the theme or custom loading screen the first time I tried it. I would recommend DOING A FACTORY RESET BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, because it didn't work properly when I didn't. I still don't have the Blue Market and the theme didn't work though. Hrm...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. It's up. I have these bugs so far:

-Blue theme did not install

- "Add" menu is not available, so I can't add any widgets and widgets I had running before won't show up. Not sure if that is a bug, or if I inadvertently deleted the widgets app when I was editing the apps/extras folders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Did you leave the "Generation X" and "Blue_Market" files untouched before installing?

Would you be able to post the contents of "seearms/log/applications.log" and "installation.log" on your SD card? This is to see if they actually installed or didn't for some reason.

And are you able to long-press on the home screen and select "Widgets"? I'm not sure which "add" menu you're referring to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. Redid the install again after unzipping the files again and re-deleting the stuff I didn't want (as well as kernel and modem). The theme did not install again, but I figured out the widgets issue. The blue market still did not work this time. :)

Something screwed up when I restored my Launcher Pro settings, so when it tried to restore the widgets it gave an error. Once I deleted the screwy widgets from my homescreen, the ability to add widgets (long press of home or otherwise) returned. All good.

As for the theme, I still have it on my SD card from before, I will just install it again from the zip.

I did not touch anything in the Generation X folder or delete bluemarket.

Give me a minute and I will give you the installation.log and applications.log

Here's a question for you. I noticed that every time I install your rom (v.03 or v.04) it reinstalls the default 3e recovery and I have to manually reinstall the hacked 3e so I can load Clockwork Recovery. If I don't I get the signature verification failure error in recovery. Is it possible to make it so it doesn't do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Here is a the modified 3e recovery I have been using. It has no signature verification check or forced wipe. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. I think I finally got everything working with the exception of the Blue Market.

I looked at my installation.log and it shows the Generation_X theme as INSTALLED, but not the Blue Market. Bug maybe? I did not delete or modify either one of the folders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
Is there an easy way to get Swype's GUI back to English?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
What do you mean? I just tried it on mine and it's in english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
it's not a big deal, but the tool tips, and help are in French.

ie: hold backspace, and you'll get french popup
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
I installed Swype Multi-Language package on to 0.3 via:

1. Copy "Swype-MultiLang_Final.zip" to Internal SD root

2. Enter CWM

3. Install from Zip

4. Select the zip file and select yes

This is the correct way to install such packages right?

I hope it didn't just copied the files somewhere pointless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Glad to hear everything's working; you definitely encountered more problems than you should have.

Check your applications.log, the blue market should be there because it's technically an application. Let me know if you see it.

Yeah, that's a known bug that occurred when I added the French Canadian swype language. Should be fixed in the next few releases hopefully, I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see what got changed.

In the meantime you'd be able to download and re-install a different version of Swype. Many devs uploaded it as a separate addon, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. For instance, nitr8 uploaded it here: http://insanity.rollus.net/index.php?dir=apk/&file=Swype.apk

EDIT: Also, for the person asking for ThinkFree Office, here it is: http://www.multiupload.com/6YUAV3J4BH
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
Thanks for the quick response seeARMs,

It's no biggie, I've installed your Multi-Language edition package on the false presumption that it was fixed on that package.

Do I just copy the zip file to SD root and use CWM install it as zip?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
SeeARMS, has anyone ever told you how awesome you are? Because... You're awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MaverickHHH:
Hey guys,

I know this was probably asked and answered before but is it recommended that you disable the lagfix before you upgrade seeARMS ROM from v0.3 to v0.4?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
THANKS SO MUCH for the ThinkOffice upload seeARMS!!

beer coming up :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
The one uploaded by nitr8 is just the application, not the CWM installation package. To install that file, get a root file manager (ie Super Manager or Root Explorer) and do the following:

-delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

-delete /system/app/Swype.apk

-install the .APK file you downloaded,

Or, if you're inexperienced with file managers / too lazy, I'd be able to create a CWM-flashable zip if you'd like.

Haha, thanks a lot man. :D

Yeah, you should really disable the lagfix prior to upgrading. It's always better to be safe.

No problem. :) Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
All my help is in English, and if I hold backspace, I get an English popup. It must be a setting on your end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Just checked. It's not there. It failed to install both times I flashed v.04, weird.

No big deal. Everything else is running like butter, and I don't really mind not having the Blue Market. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
forgive my ignorance, I'm more familiar with Windows Mobile.

Is it possible to merely copy nitr8's Swype.apk into the /system/app/ over top of your swype.apk, that way Swype remains intact in the ROM partition even after a hard reset?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Woot v0.4 is out, thanks seeArms ill be installing this tomorrow at work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I know what I forgot to ask. What lag fix option do you guys use? "Convert data to ext4" or "data and system to ext4/rfs"?
