[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvergold:
Hello. I have recently flashed my phone with darky's. I got very disappointed mainly because of battery drainage and I switched to Doc's Custom Cooked ROM from romkitchen.org

My MAIN problem with Galaxy S is that after about 15 reboots (NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE) I get the force close loop and everything goes straight to hell. All my apps are invalidated and nothing works anymore. I am tired of flashing and reflashing my phone. I just want to USE IT, NOT WASTE TIME FIXING IT!

I kindly ask for a solution on this forum. I would also like to say that I have applied the "/system corruption problem" but this didn't work at all.

I am eagerly waiting for an answer. Currently there are 2 sollutions:

1 - Solve this damn problem

2 - Throw SGS to trash can and buy an iPhone

Please help!

Just flash with the stock v2.2.1. Use your phone...

If you go with a custom rom, you gotta expect issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splish2010:
To be honest with you, it might just be your phone...I've flashed countless times and not had a bootloop in months. Try doing a factory reset and start from scratch from either Darky or Doc's ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_anuj:
+1 to that.

If you really want a custom rom with good battery... I'd recommend a clean 2.2.1 JPY flash and then Darky's 8.0/8.1 . The battery life is much better in those versions. I get ~1%/hr drain at night with Darky 8.1 vs ~3% with 9.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvergold:
I have recently tried Insanity 0.6.1 and find it very good. It actually doesn't have all that bloatware from Samsung and therefore it has more stability! I have been using it for a day. Given ~ 20 restarts and no problems. I hope everything is going to be allright. I'll report back in a couple of days or as soon as it gets problems.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versp:
I'd like to use AirSync so that I can sync my music with my phone without bothering to plug it in, but the problem is that it puts the music in the internal SD which is only 6GB and half full, rather than my empty 16GB external SD card.

My first instinct was that I should make a symlink from /sdcard/Music (where AirSync puts the music), to /sdcard/external_sd/Music instead. Can I do this, how do I do this, and would there be any problems as a result of doing this?

Any developers care to give an opinion on this development
[Android Software Development] kornyone:
Personally, I wouldn't want to run a SDK version of Honeycomb on my Gtablet. I want to see the real thing, and I am willing to wait for it.

For a real build -- at minimal -- the AOSP needs to be released.
[Android Software Development] gotwillk:
i hope the devs are able to work on this soon. do they even have the time? i'm not gonna get my hopes up about using Honeycomb anytime soon though...

WHEN IS ICE CREAM GONNA BE RELEASED??????????????????

ITS ALREADY BEEN ! HOUR SINCE THE HONEYCOMB SDK WAS RELEASED?!?!?!?!?!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR DEVS?????????????????

I WANT ICE CREAM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd join in on the.......well...you know
[Android Software Development] xmr405o:
Lol. awww man! Well maybe it'll be used by the NI folks. I posted on another thread that I heard that they had a semi working build for the NI but was missing a few things to get it functional. Maybe this is what they need.

There's still hope.
[Android Software Development] xmr405o:
Lol. Imagine the other threads after this one.

"THIS HAS BEEN POSTED A MILLION TIMES!!!! THIS IS THE SDK NOT AOSP! SEARCH!!!!! IS IT THAT HARD?!!?!?!? "
[Android Software Development] WantADroid:

[Android Software Development] philipwest:

I think they have to wait for the Zoom to come out before they can port it over to us. Just be patient and I am sure they wiil get it to us as soon as possible. Please stop posting these useless honeycomb threads.
[Android Software Development] jpmi23:
Geez guys. Chill out. Forgive me for having hope that this tablet could bt what it was meant to be.
[Android Software Development] thebadfrog:
The files Ni is missing are from Nvidia....same ones the GTab is missing. Its the same people working on the roms. They have no advantage or anymore information than anyone else. They just act like they due cause they think they are that important in the tab world
[Android Software Development] xmr405o:
Lol. I was being sarcastic. It wasn't about your thread. I'm just trying to forsee the future when other people post threads similar to yours. And how "some" will respond to them. That's all.

Process

What would be of great help and save a lot of time is if someone(who knows) could do a write up on the process of porting this ROM. This would reduce the amount of knee jerk reaction posts about Honeycomb.

Just my half a cents worth.....:p

Yes I am clueless on the process...

And with that I am sure this thread will be locked.... ;)
[Android Software Development] thebadfrog:
Sorry...this will be the final post for me. You did ask a legitimate question. This is not a rom Its just the developer kit for Honeycomb. Its what the developers use to build apps. Without some files from nvidia its completely worthless to build a rom from for the Gtab. You still need source to build a rom and the sdk is not it.

Now I'm "gtfo"......hahahahahahahaha:p
[Android Software Development] WantADroid:
Thanks

I understand that this is not a ROM but it would be nice to have a quick guide type thread explaining the process completely to the unwashed(myself included) so we will understand a little better.

Sorry to see you leave!
[Android Software Development] xmr405o:
Yeah right, you'll be back. :p You'll be too bored waiting for your Asus. I think most of your posts have been helpful.
[Android Software Development] jpmi23:
I feel like I should apologize. :-/

Seriously though, maybe a MOD can move this so we can discuss.

My question is, what do the acronyms stand for (SDK / AOSP)?
[Android Software Development] MarkF001:
Software Development Kit and Android Open Source Project
[Android Software Development] tcrews:
Bingo. The SDK is to build apps for whatever version of the OS you are targeting and you have an emulator you can test your apps in....without having to have a device running that version of the OS.

AOSP is to build roms and is the source code for the OS. You also need device drivers from the hardware manufacturer for the device you are targeting.

Thank you for being the voice of reason.

Not to burst anyone's bubble here, but it's probably not going to be all that easy. We ALL want HC (myself included), but this is an entirely new animal. Just be patient and eventually something will happen.

Give these guys a break! When they get what they need, they will be all over it. They want it just as bad as we do. Thanks to all the devs for everything they have already given us. A tablet that does what it is supposed to at half the price of what everyone else will be paying.

Thanks again:):) to all the devs.

PS.

By the way Badfrog, come back
[Android Software Development] philipwest:
I know right

I feel bad for these guys sometimes. Everytime they get a rom close to perfection Google releases new version (usually with tons of buggs). And a bunch of people start posting the same questions and starting the same threads (do a search people).

Since we're on the subject. The Moto Xoom comes out tomorrow. Can a developer pull the OS off of the Xoom or do the have to wait for Google to release the source code(which would probably be a month later)? Anyone locate additional RAM for the g-tab? I want to test my soldering skills.

Thank you to all you developers out there. You guys rock. Rock on.

I just saw that announcement as well. Seems like good news. I'm a little shocked honestly.
[G Tablet General] brutusbucknuts:
I'm sure its only a matter of time before someone yells at us for talking about honeycomb in a forum, but I too am curious about that. I know that Roebeet was answering some questions on another honeycomb thread, which I really appreciate. Seems to me, now that honeycomb is right around the corner, that some discussion about what must be done to get honeycomb on our g tabs would be useful.

Is anyone who checks this forum getting a Xoom? It would be great if a developer could let us know what might be needed from a xoom to begin work on a gtab honeycomb rom (if it is even possible). Im much more hopeful now after learning about the unlockable bootloader. I'm not asking for honeycomb tomorrow by any means, but am very curious about what steps would need to be taken to get honeycomb on the gtab. Thanks for any help!

[G Tablet General] cjackxiii:
Exactly what I was thinking. If anyone in the know could explain whats the approximate timeline for Google's releases of AOSP in relation to the release of flagship device with the corresponding update.
[G Tablet General] gunkle:
Read in another post here that Google has 30 days from the release of the first device running an OS before they have to release it to AOSP. again this is from a post I read and can't locate at the moment (too many Where's honeycomb threads to deal with looking through) so take it for what its worth.
[G Tablet General] ajkid93:
Even so, would you like a rom that is a port of another device or a rom built from source using the same version of android?

I say our very own honeycomb will do!
[G Tablet General] Legacy2385:
I'm getting a xoom tomorrow and i'm pretty adventurous so if there's anything I can do to help just let me know.
[G Tablet General] jrfree:
I am also getting a Xoom tomorrow but definitely not throwing out the gtablet as it is one of the best learning development tools I have owned. I will probably be a bit more cautious with the xoom out of the gate just because of the cost, but guaranteed I will be testing Honeycomb ROMS on the gtablet as soon as they are available.

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You need to sbf from the bootloader if you didn't hose that by installing clockworkmod because it sounds like you didn't use koush's bootstrap to install it the way the D2 needs to have it installed. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

There are two tutorials for flashing the sbf one in windows and one in Linux but both have information worth knowing. I'd link them but I'm on my D2.

EDIT:

Windows.

Linux.

but you should read through BOTH of them before flashing.

p.s. I don't mean to criticize but a more informative thread title would be nice. If you had "Bootloop after ClockworkMod install" for a thread title that means more to me than "I need help".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwolf0:
I've seen a lot of youtube videos of the galaxy s II and from what I can tell, the screen is still oversaturated like the original galaxy s, with the same blue tint on white backgrounds. Any chance this would be adjusted, or even have a user-adjustable option, by release? I'm guessing a majority of people outside of forums don't care and prefer the gaudy colors, like how they crank up the color on new TVs and everyone's face looks red, because buyers prefer it. But an option would be much needed for those not so inclined to the heavy colors. Another thing I would want is a lower brightness setting. LCDs get washed out but AMOLEDs can handle lower settings and still have good contrast. With that, the ability to adjust the minimum and maximum threshold for the auto-brightness instead of one predefined setting, as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
I doubt Samsung (or any other manufacturer) would let you modify that much in the settings. The phone is not a monitor, however I certainly see the possibilty of changing those options (or at least some) once some kind souls will start messing with the firmwares and kernels.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2_d2:
I only see a blue tint when I tilt the angle of the screen. It doesn't take much to see it and becomes more extreme the more it's tilted. Looking straight on is fine. I didn't expect there to be perfect viewing angles but tilting just a little the blue tint is really prominent. Easily viewed on a pure white screen.

Great phone, though I want to use the device to watch videos and two things bother me: the blue tint when not viewed straight on and the over saturated colours. The colour green is very oversaturated much to the point where I think there's green in the videos showing up that shouldn't be there! I know you can adjust the colour tones, that include warm, cold and natural. If the image looks too yellow/green then the cold setting looks a bit more natural on some videos. I would have preferred a proper configuration for adjusting the complete colour balance.

The screen is wonderful but is let down by these two things. If it's something that can't be helped then that's the way it is, but it would be great to have more control over the colour settings and if the blue tint is really a limitation of the type of screen/glass, or the first batch of phones have an inherent fault with the screen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puremind:
On thing that is also off is the gamma curve!

greys become dark too fast, shadow details are crushed, even though the screen has the potential not to do this. On the contrary, with such black levels, the panel should be able to show more shadow details.

I suspect this is a battery saving choice, rather than a screen limitation. I'd rather have an accurate gamma though.

Google will need to allow custom color profiles in Android soon!

How come you guys say that the SGS2 has bluish tint? While when I compare it to my SGS(speedmod) and my friends SGS(voodoo) my SGS2 has a yellowish tint to it? I'm a bit confused. Anyway I've bought it and my only complaint is the sound. Voodoo control plus please! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
There is some degree of control (not much though) over the saturation in Settings > Display > Background effect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2_d2:
The easiest way to see this is to view a white page/screen. Look straight on and then begin tilting the phone in any direction. The blue tint becomes noticeable and more extreme the more you tilt it. I wouldn't have a problem if it was only noticeable at extreme angles, but I do see it if the viewing angle isn't straight on. For phone use this is fine, not so bothered. Not so good when watching media.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nongrata23:
Regarding the tint,

Also when i purchased the phone in may the gray was going into pink!

On later updates colors seem better! aswell i rember i posted a request in chainfires 3d drivers tread were i ask the guy kindly to add support for custom rgb mode nightmode tones...

So from his application if u play with nightmode function you can tilt your color as u like!
