1-3D performance

It's not as good as it was on 2.2.1. If you test some 3D games like NFS Shift, you culd see that it doesnt run so well as it did on 2.2.1

Some people even reports that they can’t even run lot of 3D games.

2-GPS

There are reports of a good gps performance, but I have read somewhere that it's contanstly throwing some kind of errors or bugs, I don't know how to check that. I guess they know it thanks to logcat or something like that.

According to what I could read on another forum they changed lot of gps files nad not is very similar to the ones of Nexus S, that's a good thing...

3-Keyboard

It’s also a shame that they didn’t include gingerboard keyboard…

PS: Some people might think that this thread isn’t useful, but as we are being kind of betatesters for Samsung it would be nice if we use this post only to report the most common bugs founds, so maybe Samsung could have a look at it and solve it faster.

Try to use supercurio kernel with voodoo lagfix enabled and it should solve the problem. Works for me when I used to have same internet browser issue like you :)

Skyfire is working very slow, I'm unable to watch ***videos
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GGSunny12:
Same here, it was so slow till i had to restart my i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Meister_Li:
I've been using it for the last two days now (one of them with Supercurio's Voodoo Hack) and I've been happy with it in some parts, but quite unhappy in others.

Lag:

First of all, it seems the "Lag" that was fixed in 2.2.1 is back. Especially with memory-Hungry applications like the Browser, the phone tends to just freeze up for a few minutes without really doing much. I even had to pull the battery one time. This does happen less with the voodoo-fix, but it's still noticeable. Flash also does barely work.

Gingerbread features:

The new Gyroscope-Driver seems to work and it works really well. Skymap and Starchart both looked a LOT better when using them, no fidgeting around all the time anymore.

The new Gingerbread animations are NOT present in this rom. It seems like Samsung thinks they don't fit into TouchWiz, which is a shame. So no glowing edges when overscrolling and no screen-off or screen-on animation.

3D Performance pretty much seems to be the same as on 2.2.1 Games load a little slower, but I think that's mostly because we're using an un-optimized kernel.

The Bluetooth-Driver unfortunately still is the same as in Previous versions. So Neither Wiiremote nor PS3 will pair with the SGS, unlike on Cyanogenmod.

Samsung-Stuff:

As was stated before, Swype does not work. However, I am in the Swype beta and was able to install the Beta of Swype into this rom after deleting the normal swype with root explorer. It works fine, even Voice input does work.

All in all, it is clear that this is beta-firmware and it doesn't really offer much in terms of improvement over 2.2.1, at least not yet. Cyanogenmod 7, even tho it supports less hardware and is more unstable, runs a LOT faster and smoother than this, is more customizable and uses more of the new Gingerbread features.

For now, I'll be going back to 2.2.1, it's more useful as a daily driver, but this at least looks promising so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GGSunny12:
Reverting back to 2.2.1. 2.3.2 is way too slow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] David Sebb:
Well considering this is a beta it seems alot of the features that are suppose to be in the final build are here left out. That will give the reason for quite some things missing ( some animations, effects, lock screens, keyboards....) Plus also cause of the beta build maybe even alpha who knows, the performance for me is really bad, it feels twice as laggy compared to the 2.2.1 releases. All in all this build is an striped down, not optimized build for the samsung devs i guess. We will have to wait for a better build leak. Cheers !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] esist:
Agreed, I switched back to JS5, but for the moment I'm keeping JVE modem. It performs WAY better for me. No random UMTS-disconnects.

But as others said, it's just a beta.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeARMS:
I've had nothing but good experiences with this ROM.

Default browser is the fastest browser I've used on any ROM. OpenGL acceleration? Great.

It's been extremely stable, quick, GPS is great, haven't tested 3D so I can't comment on that, Gingerbread screen off animation is great, Swype works fine with a minor modification.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sdolgy:
changing the default storgae from memory card to phone fixed the browser slowness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ed_Gein:
Flashed yesterday and here are my first impressions:

-Bad

BeautifulWidgets won't load any type of skins.

Phone has frozen up with firefox (twice, but have also gotten two good runs with it)

Lost my 3G when installed (ofcourse an easy fix)

-Good

Notification interface is new and gingerific

New shutdown animation

New sounds for calling and ending calls (less anoying if you ask me)

Downloads app, need i say moore?

Less revealing pattern lock when unlocking

All and all, 1 day in and I'm feeling the gingerlove
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titooo7:
IMPORTANT:​

I just read on a spanish forum that the reason why this rom has some RAM problems is due to the settings of /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

-If you are using stock kernel apparently it's set to 0.0.0.0.0.0

I'm not using stock kernel so I can't confirm it bymyself.

-If you are using supercurio's kernel "Hacking Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread kernel for fun" it gets changed to:

2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192

That's one of the reasons why the ROM works much better with that "hack kernel" ;)

Really looking forward to the final release! Maybe Samsung is sort of beta testing their ROMs with these apparently random 'leaks'.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Alright. Installed gingerbread and busybox on top of fresh jm9 via odin. Tried for a bit. Zzzzzz. So slow.

Installed voodoo via odin. Faster but buggy. Installed Rom manager and selected reboot into recovery as 3 butt recovery not working.

In recovery did dalvic cache wipe. Did partition wipe and reboot. Phone now flies. Everything works and just opened 11 apps inc maps internet Facebook without closing any and then opened xda App to write this.

Think we're on our way.

Coming from Darkys truly great 9.3.

Almost went back till I did the wipes. Yea.

Edit. Bit too buggy still. Phone runs out of memory real randomly. Back to Darkys.

This is my 6 day with Gingerbread on board with Supercurio's kernel.

My observations :

-improved ui of keyboard Samsung but now edit cursor functions are useable

-very good battery life

-good wifi stability and gps

-for me seems bit slower than JS5 although can get higher quadrant

-to solve memory problems i`ve had installed galaxytuner and set lowmem kill to 13,16,26,30,40,50
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FRLinux:
Although i said i'd stick with it, had too many issues with missed calls. So reverted for now. Looking fwd to next beta though.

I tried it couple days still way to many issues for day to day use now back on js5 keep watching posts so as it improves go back to it come on supercurio get that kerrnell stable we.know you can
[Galaxy S I9000 General] abhklk4:
I fully agree with you.Two more issue with this release i want to add

1) RAM is used min 230Mb & goes even up to 270.So sometimes very sluggish operations.

2) weak Network & Wi Fi signal.

I love what the VEGAn DEV's have done with my G-Tab versus the crap that came with it. One request would be to modify the size/number/spacing of icons on the screens but I cannot seem to find that as an option in the default launcher? I see that if I use a different launcher I can but so far I have spent a lot of time getting the icons and such setup and do not want to have to start again.

Am I missing something or is screen customization not an option with the default VEGAn launcher?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webbsmurfen:
I have rooted my phone with FlashTool-0.2.6 (thanks Bin4ry & androxyde)

when "Titanium Backup" complained about an unstable Busybox, and wanted to install a more stable version (1.16.0), I started getting curious about what version I had.

After some searching I found a program that verified that "Busybox 1.15.3" was installed on my X10i.

I found a Busybox update on "Android market", but are very doubtful to install it, because I found this text.*V1.17.1 and V1.18.3 "Some roms require the BusyBox built for that rom and wont work with this BusyBox"*

Which busybox version is the best for my phone? (most stable)

Model

X10i

Firmware

2.1-update 1

Baseband version

2.1.54

Kernel

2.6.29

Build

2.1.A.0.435
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
YMMV.

When I put in 1.18.3 my phone was unable to auto update data in the background in some apps even though the system settings box was checked.

Also, I don't know that xRecovery works fully with 1.18.3 yet.... but if you update Busybox you'll have to reinstall xRecovery. When it says xRecovery depends on the Busybox it 'came' with, it means the one on the phone when it was installed.

I believe that most people are still using 1.17.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I've noticed that certain BusyBox versions (1.15.X, 1.17.X, 1.18.X) will allow certain apps that require root to behave differently.

xRecovery 0.3 will work better (for me) with BBv1.18

Titanium seems unable to find all the apps on my phone unless I use BBv1.17

Z's FreeX10 seemed to work fine with either version until I upgraded to Baseband .55, then BBv1.17 works fine and BBv1.18 crashed the system and I was forced to re-flash.

I haven't replicated this last error, so YMMV.

Well any ideas for a clock? Digital or Analog? And as far as softkeys?

It's been a while since I've seen farscape (last time was in highschool) so my knowledge of it is small at best, but I did like it. Maybe I can give some a go if we get some concrete ideas going.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey mrhayami! Yeah I was 19 when the came out. Am 30 now, but have been watching Farscape via netflix. Anyway, I was thinking maybe using the Moya communicator thing as maybe a sms widgit or analog clock. Some kind of wait cursor or any ideas you may have. Nordpolcamper has already made a few things for me. I also have a Farscape font but dont know hot to cab it up so the whole phone is Farscape font. Anyway, any ideas you may would be great!

Here is screen shot with the different toggles and slider that Nordpolcamper made, not all are shown.

I've created a clock out of the picture posted above in post #6.

With a couple of suggestions from darkwolfelite, I've made the hour/minute hands into Qualta Blades and it's now ready for release (cab file attached).

If you have any suggestions/criticisms, please feel free to do so - this is my first clock and first mod of any kind so all comments are welcome!

Enjoy! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Ive just made a cab for the font that darkwolfelite posted.

Im just about to test it and see what happens.........

**20 mins later.......**

ok...........

@ darkwolfelite, in response to the points you mentioned yesterday.

Ive got all the fonts within sense changed + 80% of the default Winmo menus.

The "Start" text is controlled by a .dll which is not something Ive ever tinkered with and can be notoriously difficult to get working.

Im working on getting the WM softkeys to appear in the farscape font.

The best part is......... the cab is uninstalling so no need for a hard reset.

Im gonna have a few more attempts at acheiving "total coverage"......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Ok, this is what Ive got so far. Softkeys arent happening and I dont know why. Still looking for the right reg entry I guess.

Quite a lot of the phone is covered, all sense menus, many wm menus, some apps.

The downside, the font is quite small and some things can be difficult to read.

Its possible to adjust font sizes using a registry editor.

Go to the root of the registry and search for "font".

Flick through all instances looking for entries relating to font size and adjust as required.

Cab attached. Will continue looking into this in the quest for "total coverage"....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] superas:
Now I am watching Farscape season2 episode 4 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Thank you.

Hey conantroutman thanks for everything you are doing! I appreciate it alot! As far as the font being to small, I have the sk tools so I think I can change the font size with it.

And as far as the "start" word I was wondering if cabs can be broken down in reverse to like see whats in it and maybe how it was done? I don't know if that's possible but if so I have a Lucidia handwriting cab from I think sarcy (Major_Sarcasm) that I know changes the "start" but can't remember if it did WM softkeys. Either way I really like the cab and am looking forward to the "Total Coverage" :D but am very happy with what you've done!

BTW: Your taskbar? For 6.5 or 6.5x?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Nice! I only have one episode left :eek: Well also The Peace Keeper wars movie!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
No problem, happy to help.

Post that cab and ill have a look inside. I know how to do the start button in theory but I've never actually done it.

I think the soft keys are just a matter of searching for the right reg entries.

The taskbar is tacchan's dusk taskbar and I think there is a version for both 6.5 and 6.5.x

Sent from my fingers to your face...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
No problem! Side note, SK Tools didn't change the font size in Sense, but its ok I will try the Reg edit thing you mentioned.

Nice. I will look into the taskbar thanks!

P.S to all. The cab file in this post is not mine nor do I claim it to be. It is by sarcy(Major_Sarcasm) I believe.

Other than converting the existing png in photoshop, i'm really not sure how to get a psd file. I've had a look it the manila editor (CFC GUI) but there's only the option to export to png.

Any clues buddy?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey Bunglechunk!

I accepted your xbl friend request. I know my gamertag is crazy. I honestly thought I would have to change it, but I guess not. lol

Anyway, you like the changes to the thread? I'm trying to make look better. Im not used to doing this. Still learning how to use everything in this forum:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Yea bro it's actually pretty easy. I was asking for the psd because i'd need the background image without the writing included. Psd is short for photo shop document and its the file itself (all layers are saved) to be able to make changes to the same project. To save it just select psd in the format menu when saving. or you could just attach the background png without the writing..

And CFC GUI is only used to import/export images to or from manila files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Excellent mate, I was also thinking of changing mine too - but still unsure. They made me change it already a while back, guess they didn't like Assman! :(

The thread's looking very cool so far mate, very huge! I'm guessing it's a bit of a pain getting all the single posts there - never done this myself either! If there's anything you need help with mate, I'll do what I can.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Cracking. Here it is then mate - hope it's right. If not you have my permission to hunt me down!

I've had to compress it as it's 203 KB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Thats actually the same as the png. I need the background itself without the writing..did you happen to save a png w/out that? What I meant by psd is if you saved it when creating this image. Example: when you made the png you had a bottom(background) layer and then a 2nd layer with the font(writing) on top of the 1st. Here is were you could save this as a psd because this is as far ar you got with the project. If you wanted to come back at a later time and makes changes to it you could easily with the psd. With only having the png, you'd basically have to start over because it's only 1 layer.. Does that make sense?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Thanks Bungle! I cant take credit for the thread change though. It was you guys who made me see how boring and bland it was. Good looking out!

Maybe I can help as well. I only have gimp though. But will look into photoshop. If I get a version of PS let me know what you guys need and I will try my best:D

@Bunglechunk: ASSMAN- NICE! I am that myself lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, Gimp should do the trick as well if you can save the different layers or steps as "png" files... especially for Lnando without the writing. Otherwise you could also use Corel´s PhotoPaint...;) Thread is looking nice :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey BHS Interceptor, Thanks. It needed to have a fresh look. But I have no problems changing things whenever needed.

Ok cool. I do have gimp and am a little more familiar with it than Photoshop.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hi Nando,

Just had a bit of spare time so I've created another image, this time as a psd so it does have the two layers on it.

You'll see that layer 0 is just the original 50F29E37_manila file which is the lock slider and layer 1 is the Farscape image I've amended for it.

What I'd ideally like is to get rid of layer 0 and just have the sharp layer 1 because with both, it looks kinda faded.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
That's exactly what I was looking for/needed. Here's what I came up with so far, let me know what you think..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
That's excellent mate, nice one. I think I'm leaning more towards the textured one.

Would you be able to let me know how you did it so I can play around with this in the future?

Also, do you know how I can change the notification icons on the lock screen to incorporate the icons you made, and possibly change the number font for them too?

I don't think I'll have a problem cabbing it all up, just need to know what files etc. to change.

Assuming that is, that there's no reg edits to do like. I'm guessing it's just like creating a clock cab - select the file it installs to and naming the file?

Or am I being incredibly naive there?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
The textured one looks much better. The untextured one doesn't seem as sharp. It looks like it's a lower resolution than the textured one. Perhaps the texture just hides that better. Other than that, they look awesome!
