[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I'm giving feedback & help

and that's all you have to worry / care about ? :p

I could have merged, yes,

but now it's too late due to other posts following

anyways:

IMO readability is much more improved that way (I'm answering / post to different persons - if it were the same I would have integrated it into one post)

my best bet would be that "Notification power widget" ("Energiesteuerung in Benachrichtigung")

is the culprit

(afaik) shortly after I had disabled that the high load went away

but like I wrote it also could have been due to PowerAmp (ab)using system-services to poll - I uninstalled that, too

the strange thing is: I tried to reproduce / trigger it but system-load (of one of those 2 processes: system_server or com.android.systemui) only would spike to around 17 % max. but soon would go down to 1.5 or 0.1

I disabled several things (that I don't use that regularly):

CyanogenMod settings:

-> Input -> Long-press home settings -> [ ] Show recent apps title

-> Input -> Volume button music control [ ]

-> Interface -> Notification power widget -> [ ]

-> Lockscreen -> Widget options -> [ ] Lockscreen music control

-> Lockscreen -> Unlock options -> both [ ] (disabled)

-> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen gestures -> [ ]

-> Performance -> [ ] Enable surface dithering (known to speed up things)

-> Sound -> [ ] Notification focus; Always play on speaker -> [x] Ringtones & Alarms (that shouldn't make a change)

-> System -> Anonymous statistics -> [ ] Enable reporting (I'll re-enable that once it's clear that doesn't cause any weird cpu load)

besides that I killed some Services & Apps running in the background (Gingerbread now allows to also close background / cached apps)

Settings -> Applications -> Runnings services

* here close Google services, etc.

* "settings" (left) button -> show cached processes ->

then close any (user) apps that you don't need (WATCH OUT FOR SYSTEM SERVICES !)

once or twice a day I'm also using "Advanced Task Killer" (NOT automatically) to kill some apps I shortly used and certainly don't need in the background

ok, thanks,

I'll try to install the divx codec and sammy's video player then & see whether that makes a difference

@codeworkx:

awesome work !

by shortly flying through your 2.6.32 port of the FM radio driver there definitely is stereo support

hope it'll be able to work in stereo on CM7

when the FM radio starts to work & access to the external mmc via usb storae you'll get another donation from me :)

@others:

anyone knows exactly why the FM radio was set to mono on Samsung's ROMs ?

I read that there were problems with the FM radio with other parts of the hardware when running in stereo but couldn't remember what exactly :(

update:

ok, I did some research

and with eclair it definitely was Mono FM-Radio

according to Samsung support - with an update to Froyo (mid October last year) support for FM Stereo was added

forum thread on that issue: [Troubleshoot Discussion] SGS FM Radio issues, Stereo fix

Radio nur mono (Radio only mono, German thread & feedback a user got from Sammy support)

feedback, that it got fixed in Froyo:

Galaxy-S FM Radio not working in Stereo mode

FM Radio & GPS <-- Froyo fixed it for this user, too

so Stereo FM Radio should be no problem :)
