@zacharias

your 0320 kernel broke my system.

no camera, but worse: cwm absolutelly not visible, so I can't use cwm to repair it.

oh great - after 5th retry I finally had a visible CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
My camera also doesn't work (tried with complete system update), but more important to me lcd density is back! ;) I am sure that we will have working camera very soon. P. S. I also had problem with barely visible cwm, upside down too. :)

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
So that means the previously not working density changes it most probably due to CM7 changes, nothing to do with kernel right?

Will be coming back to this once the camera issues are fixed. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crypta:
beside of multiple tries: do you have some kinda workaround for using such a CWM?

barely visible a gentle understatement, aus I saw something ...maybe orange.. mabye letters... but couldn't estimate only the stringlength... as I got it working again, I counted "the clicks" to be prepared... but seriously... that's barely a solution ;).

testing as kernel is ok, as you know you have to take risks, but also here it would not do any harm to test ist slighty more... that state I would call pre-alpha ;).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] giannir1988:
Why don't apply standard density in your kernel?

If we set it otherwise, we do.

or, we might think of creating an automatic in CWM to set the density?

it would be nice
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
Mine was barely visible, but still enough visible, so it wasn't to big problem to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Yeah...as much as I love lower density values, I doubt most people here would love it. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
afaik that's a CM7 specific issue or maybe something with Voodoo Sound

you also get that with bilboa1's kernel and stock kernel ?

how about when removing Voodoo Control App - as a test ?

sorry about that,

I'll see if I can upload a build with the newest FFC limited fixed omitted

let's hope Samsung will release the sources soon, then this will be even sooner

most probably yes

the problem is: I get none of these issues atm,

and when they occur they only occur once in several boots/reboots

so rebooting takes care of it for me and it's almost a non-issue

EXPERIMENTAL in opensource terms means: it might break, eat your mummy, kill your kittens, lose all your data, etc. (that's the title that codeworkx wrote for CM7 on the SGS, btw ;) )

I'm pretty sure that the culprit is the framebuffer and things interacting with it

like I already posted: even raising timings of the cpu scheduler (CFS) significantly, applying some really nice improvements or lowering the ticks (CONFIG_HZ) to save more energy isn't possible - because either the screen turns entirely black (off ???) during where normally the bootanimation is and CWM or other weird distortions (hazardous bleached looking colors on the bootanimation and hardly readable text - anyone ?)

the probably get triggered a little easier with my kernel due to optimizations

done ...

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod7-for-samsung-galaxys/issues/detail?id=101
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok folks,

I'm gonna go back to the old optimizations flags (for good)

the new ones don't seem to be working to well (yet)

probably in a few months when a toolchain update is out from CodeSourcery it'll work and not cause those upside-down screens & distortions to accumulate (happen) that often
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
In a later update or already in ur latest kernels?

Just downloaded, maybe I should wait some more. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
in this kernel

the FFC fix is reverted (removed) so camera is working again, maybe it needs some more additional fixes from the system

using old (extensively) tested optimization flags

full update currently uploading ...

edit:

it seems however that the usb-storage issue seems to be caused by latest upstream changes :(

(but I also so this in the past)

the GUI just hang again

so there's no "fix" for this yet

edit2:

so:

- back to last known working optimization flags

- no FFC fix (so it isn't working) but at least camera app and rear camera should be working

- default resolution, if you want a higher one - change from 240 to another value in /system/build.prop
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Hmmm....inability to access usb storage in recovery could be not ideal in the event of any problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
huh ?

sorry,

I was referring to using the system (not in recovery)

usb access (via adb) should always work

strange thing:

I already had this weird issue with that when enabling usb access (clicking on the button)

that it stayed that and the GUI frozen

now I got that again

I already reverted back to older system-update, kernel ,etc. etc.

but it still hangs there

it's definitely NOT a problem of my kernel-modifications - I got this, too, with the stock kernel before I started with this development

and the only "solution" (that worked) was to revert back to Froyo, Eclair (stock samsung) ROMs

which sucks

with the Nexus S it probably wouldn't be so complicated :(

edit:

hopefully a factory reset helps ...

trying now ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Ah...thanks, but I still don't get exactly where the hang appears. :D

Sorry for my lack of comprehension skills. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
a factory reset solved it :D

ok:

1) your phone is running (not recovery or during boot - it has finished booting)

2) you connect usb-cable to your phone, then to PC

3) message appears in notification area for usb connection

4) you click on "connect" (or activate usb storage) (or what its name is)

5) you get the circle animation, the button temporarily changes its state and the Android should turn from Green to Orange

BUT IT DOESN'T :confused:

the button still says the same like in 4)

the GUI freezes, the softtouch keys don't light up anymore, the only 2 buttons being able to half-way wake the phone up are:

home button & power button

and the only things you can do is to long-press the power button to let it

reboot :mad:

this is a pretty serious bug on CM7 & SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Not sure if the upside down problem was fixed in the latest CM7_SGS_platypus-kernel_20110320_16_update.zip, I flashed to this from stock 0318 update, first reboot the screen was upside down. :D

Reboot solved it. Just fyi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Hmmm...this has never happened to me so far on stock/bilboa or your kernels.....Touch wood.

Maybe not kernel or CM7 related, more ur phone related?

Sorry for my questions and no thanks...somehow the thanks button don't appear on my browser. :(

edited : switched to another browser and gave my gratitude. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
Can i flash "CM7_SGS_platypus-kernel_20110320_16_update.zip" over the 0318 Cyanogen Update ??

I heard there was issues flashing a kernel over this update.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
good to know, thanks

I also got the upside down with the old flags

but it was WAY LESS likely to get and usually was fixed by a reboot

yeah, could be

the phones are very different - seems like the quality varies a lot between them

thanks ;)

remember:

the beauty of using vanilla / AOSP Android is that it'll restore (almost) all apps after a factory reset or other weird issues

saving you much hassle :)

nope,

it should work

but do a nandroid backup before - just in case
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Moudii:
Installed the full update , first impression is wow love it. Will report after some more testing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] redbull320:
can you integrate darkyys Memory Tweak?

LG
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's already included ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
It happened to me after flashing CM7 update 0318, re-flashing and flashing voodoo kernels didnt solve it, had to do a full install to get rid of the problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Can anyone tell me what the difference between just flashing the kernel or the entire system update is? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] last0ne:
+100000 :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sewe:
for whose benefit
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ciex:
Just a question. Is there any possibilities to enhance/amplify the sound for Bluetooth? I usually using my bluetooth mostly everyday to listen to my music when I'm taking a walk,and training.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
more security, (probably more speed),

--> currently mostly tailored to those who have lots of apps running & doing several things in parallel

- simply everything
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sewe:
To bad it doesn´t includes voodoo colour
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Awesome work mate! As stated, will you add voodoo colour?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lightarrow:
Hey, zacharias Nice kernel, works well on my I9000m and makes CM7 very fast :)

Is there any way you can include cifs support in the kernel ? The cifs manager program cannot mount my windows share right now :(

It's the only feature that i am missing from Speedmod ;)

Thanks again for your work ! really appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lmulli:
I flashed the Kernel + System but noticed that my phone would reboot itself randomly - edit - this happens with the original CM7 files aswell so clearly nothing to do with this update, which is now going back on!!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] redbull320:
*delete* .....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
Great kernel, loving the cm7 support
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sideeffects:
zacharias.maladroit do you know why is the sgs cm7 gingerbread kernel still limited to the samsung RAM limits like 342mb available? Instead of the 400+ available on nexus s.

Is it because it was built from the froyo souce code and moded for compatibility with gingerbread?

If thats the case would it be possible to free up more RAM like in some other kernels where 350MB is free when HD recording doesn't work? Seeing as HD recording is already broken in cm7 it would be nice to have that RAM back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
Wouldnt boot for me...strange, reverted using nandroid. Am I doing something wrong? Will redownload, reflash. Offer any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it will :)

yeah, sure,

currently working on porting additional features

the cifs modules are there

can you try opening up a shell

su

insmod /system/modules/cifs.ko

whether that works for you ?

seems like I have to compile those modules in ...

thanks ! :)

the hardware is a little bit different from the Nexus S,

e.g. the SGS has a FM radio tuner (and probably some additional stuff),

sorry, I'll leave that to more knowledgable kernel hackers for now :o

your base system is CM7 2.3.3

afaik there's a problem with it when using with 2.3.2

it might be due to CM7 incompatibilities if you're not running a current (up-to-date) system

I'm also having problems with codeworkx' initial package, like I already wrote in the thread

this is currently under investigation
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
No I'm on latest cm7 build. Are you saying it shouldnt work with that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
no, quite the opposite:

it should work with the latest (which is currently 2.3.3)

you tried whether the whole update package works for you ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
I tried the larger one first, trying smaller now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
Thank you for your work looks great

Ps mit meinem linux wurde es nix hab nen neuen pc geordert ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks !

vielleicht läuft ja linux auf dem besser :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi mate, thanks for your work!

Some newbie questions (I'm a veteran linux administrator and programmer, so I know what a kernel is, but still too worried to hack my root'ed SGS with official 2.2 from Samsung and Vodafone Australia):

1. Once this is installed - would the rest of my system/applications stay the same? I just don't want to lose Navigon which came free with the official Froyo.

2. Will this new kernel be able to use ext2/3/4 natively (i.e. it can boot straight into it), so there won't be a need for the lagfix hack if I manage to shrink/partition/copy the system files?

3. Can I backup and re-install the original kernel if I have to for some reason?

Thanks,

--Amos
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cocchiararo:
Latest kernel from bilboa1 and the 318 nightly from codeworkx has no main camera issues, and the ffc shows image (wrong orientation) and freezes when you take a pic (home button exits camera app).

I tried your latest kernel with the now removed optimizations and had no usb issues.

I do need to remove the battery saving script, cause my phone takes a long time to become usable after boot with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sideeffects:
Yes I also have this. Strange thing was that the issue seemed to be fixed sometime before the 18/03 update. It used to be that if you connected USB storage to PC while WIFI was enabled it would freeze and sometimes but rarely when wifi wasn't enabled.

In the passed I had this problem and another issue with reset when copying large files from internal to external SD or vice versa. The copying problem seems to be fixed with the 18/03 update but the freeze when connecting USB storage is back after being fixed in the 15/03 build.

I have also noticed a new random freeze when the USB connection is terminated after copying files over to the SD. This was not there before.

So the new SD 'fixes' are somewhat no better than before but at least I can now transfer large files like movies again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quadix:
in the 20/03 update of your kernel, the browser doesn't work it make me fc, either the SGSTheme removed from my "theme chooser".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Kindly remove it please. Darky's settings is better for stock Samsung roms where free ram is a premium. Instead now the settings are making apps that should be able to stay running in the background close prematurely. For example, my Tweetdeck is no longer giving me updates because the new settings is making it stop running in the background.

CM7 is much better at ram management than stock Samsung or the JV1 leak.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure,

and - hey thanks for Voodoo Sound V6 ;)

and those are very useful - that way it's somewhat easier to distinguish between updates

you have a clear view what belongs to what

browser making FCs: non-issue, reboot

I get them too, from time to time - even with Samsung ROMs ;)

SGSTheme removed: upstream issue

sure, will do

guys, btw,

this kernel already includes VOODOO SOUND V6 :D

it says V5 but Supercurio just changed the name tag to V6 (the changes from initial V5 to V6 are already included)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SquirtingCherry:
shame the sgstheme had to be removed i really liked it, will it be availible as a stand alone theme download?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok, this is a pretty big update:

Changelog:

I need some timeout now

will wait for things to mature (BLN, OV/UV) and include them at that point ...

enjoy ! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alberto96:
Please add oc/uv version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Looking forward to BLN..... Either u or bilboa... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
will add that in the next weeks

TheEscapist (captivate) has kernel-sources with it working with OC up to 1.4 GHz & stable :D

sure, will add that, too

bilboa1's already testing it

so he probably will have it first
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Big thx's for your amazing work, Zacharias!

Will be great to see UV settings in your kernel. :)

I have a big issue - short battery life. :( I take it from charge at 94% and with small usage (5-10 min of XDA-reading, 1-5 mins for calls) and it goes to 86~%. I have 3-4 full recharges.

And sorry for my English. With respect from Belarus. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalvinlou:
The Hi-res version make the system cannot detect the sd card, however I can see the sd card in andexplorer, please fix that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Steyux:
It would be great if you can add OC/UV like bilboa1 and maybe BLN (taken from Nexus S custom kernel released today!) :D Great work zacharias!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, this should help to get a longer battery runtime :)

if it goes down that fast it's either a bug in display (it's not really down at 86 but higher) or wiping the battery stats & doing 3-4 recharges again (over a longer time perhaps is better for the battery)

might help

thanks for using !

could you describe that a little more in detail, please ?

with sdcard you mean the internal (phone's) sdcard, right ?

are you using the base from march 18th ?

you tried a reboot ?

generally a reboot takes care of lots of those "issues" - the first boot oftentimes seems to be needed to kind of "initialize" the new kernel

yes, looking forward to have working BLN & UV

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Steyux:
Thanks to you!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalvinlou:
I am using the 21st high res one, I can see sdcard in andexplorer, but in the settings->sd card settings the option mount sdcard is grey, more most other program like fancy widget cannot see my internal card
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
BLN FTW! I don't have to add anything
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sorry but I can't reproduce this:

you mean

settings -> storage (settings) ->

SD card

[Unmount SD card]

[Erase SD card]

so for me the sd card is mounted by default

what are you trying to do ?

inserting the sdcard while the phone is on and then mounting it ?

(options to format or erase for the Internal SD card aren't displayed for me, btw. [Internal storage] so this could be an issue from upstream [upstream == what the devs from teamhacksung set up] so maybe it needs some fixes)

if there is an issue with that - it most likely is not the kernel's job / fault

you could try the full system-update from March 20th (or nightlies around that time), then apply the kernel-only update afterwards

perhaps your system is not new enough ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Steyux:
I also have this issue, I can't see the external sdcard but all my apps seem to work greatly :)

Edit: I mean I can't see /mnt/emmc in storage menu
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalvinlou:
I mean i cannot unmount the internal sd, the option missing and some of the apps dont know i have a sd like fancy widget cannot load the themes.

I know maybe my English is bad but I do know how flashing things, I tried almost 20 roms and kernels before.

The issue. Now is that: the system cannot recognise my sd, but the system can see my internal sd when i flash back the 20th one and also the ocuv cm7 kernel.

I dont know the reason and i am not here to complain, just reporting to see if this can help to improve this kernel!

To sum up, the problem appeared in 21st one, older one seems no this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
no problem I didn't take it as offense

thanks for the feedback

A HEADS UP ! / Warning

is this a known issue with WIFI that browsing the web is unstable (the wifi driver unstable) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Steyux:
I've just tried to open a bit.ly link from the official twitter application and my phone has rebooted :confused: Very strange thing :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
that's why I'm asking:

is this only happening through WIFI or also with Data (3G, gprs, edge, etc.) ?

thanks for your feedback
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lmulli:
I like all the features that you are putting into your Kernel, however, this last one (21/03/2011) seems a lot slower than your previous one, which i've now gone back to.

keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks

in which areas specifically ?

this might be a (bad bad) side-effect of the enhanced security

afaik performance goes down 5-10% in a worst case scenario

but overall the phone doesn't feel slower (if then only slightly) for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Zach, thx for ur latest release.

Now i have 2 issues - greater battery drain and hot battery (51c). Without hard usage, i manage my settings with 3g enabled. Only.

But it is SUPER smooth. No, really SUPER. Never had such smooth with my SGS. But battery with 51c...

Think, this caused by 1000hz. Could u downgrade it to 500 or 250?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure, I'll try 500 with the next one then

but first I need some more feedback with that WIFI / rebooting with bit.ly links issue from the ones using this kernel

maybe I need to revert to some even more conservative optimization flags

it first needs to be stable

otherwise it'll be hard to figure out whether stability problems are from UV/OV or the kernel (and optimizations) itself

thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Steyux:
After the first reboot my browser can open correctly all biy.ly links from twitter under the same wifi network, unfortunately I can't try with data connection because I live in a very bad place with very bad signal... However my battery is 28-29°C with normal use and a plastic cover :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mercury0660:
i tried opening a bit.ly link from plume with wifi on, no problem, also with hsdpa (2103 is running good so far). I flashed the kernel an tried that without reboot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Can tell u some info:

1st bit.ly works with wi-fi. No problems with wifi.

2nd after reboot my phone gone to normal ('normal' battery drain, normal temp)

But smooth.. I like this kernel. :D

Let's rock our SGS! :D

I suggest u make next build with 2 versions - 1000hz and 500 hz.

What about opt flags - 21 is perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
Just want to add- try conservative gouvernor.

I make short view:

When ONDEMAND is on - 70% of time on 1000mhz. This cause huge battery drainage.

Now testing conservative, but at the moment i see, that this number lowered to 60%.

All test time screen is on and browsing mode on too.

And i thing u need to have 1-2 people for beta-testing of your releases to avoid problems. Think about it.

UPD:

Also, i can say, that screen has too HIGH sensitivity. Con u lower it?

And sorry for my English. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Razer(x):
Please report back, battery life is really important.

How do you check frequencies? Do you have already tried the powersave setting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alerems:
In stanby 3% in 20 minutes. Sad. Will look on it tomorrow with ful charge and calibrated battery.

I'm cheking frequencies with Root System tool. Very good prog.

No, i didn't. But i'm on conservative. And I like it. :D
