Hi seeARMS,

As you know, I am currently running your custom JL2 ROM as I am with Bell, etc and I am loving it except for the speedmod kernel as that VSF function just drives me crazy so I flashed one of Hardcore's kernels instead.

I have read your info on this JS3 ROM and I am curious and may like to flash it to see what it is all about but I have a question.

Obviously my base is the Bell JL2 and in saying that I should have the .SBL file that I need in order to keep my SGS from bricking (or so the theory goes) so my question is... If I want to flash this JS3 ROM, do in need to first install the JS3 firmware and then flash your ROM "OR" can I just download the .zip file, make my modifications (as described in your instructions for kernel, bootload animation, wipe, etc) and flash directly over my current seeARMS ROM / JL2 and keep my important JL2 items?

Sorry if this question is confusing but as my signature says... Im still a bit of a NOOB and still learning.

Also... Still waiting for my Blue theme for your JL2 ROM! LOL!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
To flash this ROM, all you need to do is download the zip, follow the instructions, and flash it from CWM recovery. This will leave your secondary boot loader untouched, hopefully preventing your phone from getting bricked. The only way your Sbl.bin would ever get overwritten would be if you flashed a ROM in Odin that contains the Sbl.bin, with "Bootloader Update" checked. (Or, updating it from Kies to a ROM that has the Sbl).

So, you're generally quite safe regarding the secondary boot loader.

Lol, sorry about the theme :/ Good news is, if you flash this ROM, you should be able to flash the blue theme right after installing it without me needing to port it over. (If it's compatible with JS3, which I'm pretty sure it is.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Ok, so... Would you say in your EXPERT opinion that me flashing this onto a Canadian i9000M is safe?

Also... When and where do I make my modification to the install .zip file? Do I download the package to my desktop, make the modifications and then move it to my internal SD card "OR" do I download the package directly to my internal SD card, navigate to the package (with Astro for example), make my modifiactions from there and THEN flash?

Please advise...

PS... Id still like to see the blue theme available for the JL2 ROM just incase I get too chicken to try this JS3 one... LOL. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
Hey yiannis.

Here's what I did:

Download to computer. Unzip it to the sd card when,plugged into computer. And just under my computer, I deleted the files I didn't need. Also, remember to disable lagfix beforehand
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'd say it's quite safe. While building this ROM I flashed my device well over 30 times, and it's still running great. My previous SGS I flashed less than 10 times and it died, so I'd wager it's perfectly safe.

And it really doesn't matter where you do the modifications. It's probably easier to just copy the files over to your internal SD card, delete anything you don't want using your PC, then simply flash the ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmmm... Ok. I will keep this in mind. And you are SURE this wont kill my 850 band? LOL... Just being paranoid... :D

I may wait until after you make a new JL2 ROM version before I muck with this one but it is nice to know that I have options... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
Funny thing .... tried to load the JS3 ROM with speedmod/JL2/wipe/Nexus S boot animation as my selections over Darky's v9.0.2/Voodoo 5.2/JL2 modem. Everything went smoothly except that "wipe" didn't happen. When it loaded up, all my apps and settings were still there - for good or for bad, I wasn't quite sure. I checked my "About Phone" settings and saw it had your ROM under Build Number, but showed the original voodoo 5.2 kernel. Then, the battery drain started - 10% in 10 minutes ... so, on to round two ...

I know switching ROMs is not advised without a wipe, so I did a factory reset. After the reset/wipe data and reinstallation of the ROM, it still showed "curio@carton#Voodoo_stable_5.2" as the kernel. At least, it was the base theme with the ROM, rather than Darky's theme on your ROM. Battery drain still bad, though ... so, on to round three ...

Now I'll revert to stock UGJL2 via Odin, then install CWM then re-flash this ROM using a fresh download. Will report back later ...

Wonder why "wipe" didn't happen, and "speedmod" kernel didn't install? Thoughts?

[EDIT: And, yes, Voodoo lagfix was disabled]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w98seeng:
I have tried 5 or 6 different custom ROMs and the only one I kept for more than a week is seeARMS JL2 ROM. Having liked his other ROM, I'm gonna give this a try also.

Many Thanks seeARMS,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I believe it's a problem with Voodoo. When I was testing this, the only kernel that I encountered minor problems with was the Voodoo kernel. No idea why. I'll get this fixed in the next update.

Please let me know what's in the file "seearms/log/seearms.txt" on your SD card. It'll say what was performed (if wipe occurred, which kernel was installed, and which modem was installed). If this file doesn't exist, then the script was not run. If it does exist but has nothing in it, then the script was run but was unable to flash anything.

Thanks. I'll look into this tonight.

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlzp:
I wiped and flashed twice but it didn't work, when i factory rest and a changed the setting to enable lagfix then its ok overall i love the rom Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
Sorry, I already deleted the seearms directory. I tried to recover the file, but according to Recuva, it was already overwritten.

EDIT: Update - from stock JL2, CF Root and CWM 2.5.1.2, I tried to install the ROM, but something is not going right. I ended up with the dreaded stuck at the boot "S" screen, followed by the vibrations of a dead phone. I wonder what I did wrong. Here's are the steps I went through:

ODIN flash stock UGJL2

ODIN flash CF Root/Busybox/2e Recovery

Updated to latest CWM using ROM Manager

d/l seeARMS.XWJS3.v0.1.zip and copied it to /sdcard

extracted the file using Root Explorer to /sdcard/seeARMS.XWJS3.v0.1/

in that directory was ../seearms and the seeARMS.XWJS3.v0.1.zip (which I assume is the ROM to flash)

I deleted the files from ../seearms/modem and ../seearms/kernel I didn't want

booted into recovery and installed above "zip from sdcard"

I get your custom ROM screen and all the updates saying what is being installed/flashed/etc. It ends with "Install from sdcard complete.", so I rebooted, got to the splash screen and crashed the phone. Thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kLuMzi:
Did the clear Market cache worked for you? i wiped(factory reset) and flashed twice also but i still cant get Market to install apps.

I instead went for JL2v.03 and its pretty stable, also battery is holding well.

my flashing so far JPYv2 - JL2v2 - JS3v1 - JL2v3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Are you sure the file structure you used was correct regarding the kernels and modem? I just followed the above procedure (excluding Odin flashing CF root - I instead flashed SpeedMod kernel, much easier) and my phone flashed fine. The only thing I can think of that would cause it would be incorrect file structure (or perhaps Root Explorer not fully extracting the files, causing the kernel to get corrupt before you flashed it somehow?)

You should have the following files on your SD card:

-the extracted "seeARMS.XWJS3.v0.1.zip" anywhere on your SD card, doesn't matter

-one kernel located exactly in "seearms/kernel" named either speedmod, sok or voodoo depending on the one you wanted to flash

-one modem located exactly in "seearms/modem" named either jl2 or jpy, depending on the one you wanted to flash

-wipe or nexusbootanimation located in "seearms/extra" depending on your preference (this doesn't really matter much; wouldn't cause the boot failure

Do you have the above file structure? Also, if you'd be able to post the logfile from this install, that'd be great.

Quite odd, I haven't experience any problems regarding the market. I'll take a look at it. Is the market just crashing after selecting an app or refusing to install?

Also, I want to add that my battery is the best I've ever had on any ROM - been using my phone all day and it's still at 70%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
The file structure was as you just wrote. I will try it again now that I've revived the phone with another ODIN flash of UGJL2. If it doesn't work, I might install the Speedmod kernel and try that. Maybe it is a Root Explorer problem. Maybe I'll extract it on my computer and push the files to /sdcard. In the end, this is what I hope to have:

../sdcard/seearms/kernel/speedmod

../sdcard/seearms/modem/jl2

../sdacrd/seearms/extra/nexus_bootanimation

../sdcard/seearms/extra/wipe

../sdcard/seeARMS.XWJS3.v0.1.zip

As far as the logfile, if the install doesn't go right, there's no logfile to find - at least that's been my experience with my previous install attempts (ignoring the attempt where I bricked my phone). Here we go again ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Alright.

I edited the scripts a bit. It's building the ROM right now, I'll try flashing it on a clean install.

If the log file doesn't exist, then the script was never run, which means no kernel or modem was installed...

Gonna try to get all the bugs ironed out.

EDIT: Flashed the ROM, SpeedMod kernel and JL2 modem installed fine, ROM wiped, and market apps install fine. I'll add a bit to the first page saying to post your log (if it exists) in order to help me create a fix for the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
Finally! Seems as if either the Chainfire kernel or the CWM from ROM Manager and your ROM do not play well together. Bricked the phone (again!). This time I used the Speedmod kernel and got to install your ROM.

I'm hoping clearing the Market cache, Gallery cache and a factory reset/wipe will fix the force closure problems. Will let you know.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kLuMzi:
its actually doing both. when I choose an app to install, status in Notication bar is stuck at 0%, Market will crash, get a black screen and slight vibration, then soft boots to main menu
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
I found that clearing the Market cache fixed this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I figured out why some users are unable to install apps.

The permissions of /data/app are set wrong so a temporary download directory is unable to be created. Simply recreating the /data/app and /data/app-private folders solves this problem.

Fix should be included in the next release.

If you want to fix it now and aren't afraid of the command line, do the following using ADB:

shell

su

rm /data/app/* /data/app-private/*

rmdir /data/app /data/app-private

mkdir /data/app /data/app-private

Works fine after executing the above commands.

i never tried that once i enabled lagfix everything worked

I found my phone to go through the battery the same or use a little more then the stock JL2 from bell.... I did what you said to do in the first post. what are your setting ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
SpeedMod kernel, JL2 modem, lagfix (EXT4) enabled, all tweaks in recovery enabled.

Battery is great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlzp:
i have all of that on and i find it the same as the stock JL2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Try going to recovery and wiping your batterystats.bin when your phone is fully charged. Some users have reported better battery life after doing so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kLuMzi:
awesome! can't wait to switch to your JS3! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlzp:
going to try that once my phone charges but just wondering i flashed a theme will that have an effect on battery drain??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlzp:
When you say enable all tweeks do you mean even the ones not recommended? I made sure all tweeks are enabled and wiped battery stats then didn't touch my phone. In under an hour with no use I lost 6%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Charge your phone a few times fully (by using it normally then charging it). Sometimes the battery needs recalibrating.

No, I didn't enable the optional ones. Depends on what kernel you're running.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radeon_x:
Hey seearms, how come you removed the AllShare app? That's the best part of the SGS :-)

Any easy way to add it back in?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlzp:
do i just use it till it dies then charge it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canad1an:
My personal experience with the JPY-based ROMS, and now this JS3-based one, is that when on 3G/HSDPA, my battery drain is huge. I can lose 50% in 4 hours. When I'm at home, I switch to WiFi, and my battery drain is much more respectable at 10% in 5 hours. With the previous JL2-based ROM, as well as the stock JL2 ROM, my battery drain was also around 10% over 5 hours, regardless of 3G or WiFi connectivity. In order to keep usage consistent, I tested this by letting the phone sit on my desk and only do background syncs. No phone calls, no web browsing, no games, no texts, etc.

I'm not quite sure what it is about the 2.2.1-based ROMs and background syncing over 3G that chews up the battery must faster than 2.2-based ROMs. Any thoughts? I know a lot of work went into identifying a WiFi drain bug with the 2.2.1 ROMs. I don't know if there's a "3G" drain bug too? Or if it has to do with a 2.2.1 ROM with a 2.2 modem? I'm certainly no linux expert, so I have no idea. Just throwing it out there.

@seeARMS and others ... anyone noticed that Samsung's E-Mail program doesn't check emails every "x" minutes, even though it's set to do that in the settings? Push emails come through fine (Gmail, Yahoo, etc), but POP-based accounts don't get checked in the background. I have to enter the Email program for it to check for new mail, and only then does it give me the notification of new emails in the notification bar. Hmmm...

lags

Does anyone have problems running some things on the phone i am running game dev story and sometimes is lags really bad then it will run normal again. i am using super optimized kernel and have lagfix enabled is there something i'm doing wrong?

i have been trying a few roms, it seems i am adicked. this rom seems to be really stable and i have had no issues with it. i am with Bell and like when i can use jl2, but have tried other roms with very little problem. i did however bricked my first sgs and have learned to format sd before i install any new rom unless i am just up grading then i just up grade. battery life is good. been using for 4 hours and have made 6 phone call and is just at 93%. wifi as on all the time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Thanks a lot - it's very appreciated. :)

I'll be working on getting a JS5-based ROM released in the near future. Gonna see how it runs in terms of speed first, not much sense in upgrading if it doesn't bring any new features.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
can you overclock with speedmod or do you need voodo kernal
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
this rom is working really well do you think i should stay with this or go to your other bell rom.

i decided to try your jl2 rom for bell and it also works great, think i will stall there for awhile
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JJustin:
You can't overclock with speedmod. I'm using Super optimized kernal with voltage control for overclocking. One of the main reasons why I'm using the JS3 rom over the JL2 is because of all the themes available (some include extended power menu and 4 different lockscreens)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtoad:
This was the first ROM I have tried since having my phone since Aug. I was attracted to the 9000M focus. I had no trouble customizing it or installing and have to say it is nice!

Thank you seeARMS.

I upgraded to the latest Speedmod kernel and enabled lagfix and all recommended tweaks and am happy with voodoo sound and the display improvements. The only thing I had noticed was a slight decrease in battery (about 24hrs vs. 30hrs on stock for my normal use (calls, SMS, Wi-Fi, light gaming).

I then changed the Wi-Fi timeout (in advanced settings) to 'Sleep when off' and am getting ridiculous battery life! Currently at 33% and 1d 14h 51m 48s since unplugged.

I will be following his updates! Thanks again.

edit: I also added Allshare back. I like it...

edit2: Oh yeah, I also didn't wipe anything and have had no problems.

I also updated the Camera firmware via Samsung Apps a while ago and it seems to still be there after flashing this ROM.

But one of the things I think I did was flash a vibrant stock rom on it by accident.

ended up having to get it to download mode using a jig.

The one click stock captivate odin doesnt work for me.. tried several times with rebooting phone and PC.. always freezes.

got it to flash with another captivate odin and used the stock pit and tar that came with the download.

Now when it boots it looks like this.. see picture

Ive reflashed it a few time and always get the same results

Does it get pretty far into the boot process and then do that or does it kernel panic immediately?

Will this update happen without my consent? How do I avoid this intrusive measure?

(A co-worker who owns an Evo recently lost his hotspot app when he got an update from Sprint...he is LIVID because Sprint requires $ to enable tethering.)

I don't believe you will be prompted to update your phone since you aren't on the stock firmware (or one of the Liberated Eclair ROMs that were based on it).

Even if you were using stock firmware, it is not forced on you -- you are prompted on whether you want to update. I imagine your friend accepted the update without realizing that it would cause his hotspot app to stop working.
[HTC Aria General] JCreazy:
Just curious, what forum did you find this information at?
