[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofpain69:
Thanks. So how would one go about backing up their boot loader or is that a mute point since the phone won't boot without one anyway? And if your bootloader did get screwed say from a bad flash and you couldn't get into download mode is that whats considered a hard brick and would a jig allow you to fix this?
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
I've only had my Xoom for a day, havent had a chance to use it much. So far there are a few minor problems, but one is really bugging me. The battery level is constantly changing from 100% to what I can only guess is the actual level. Most of the time it reads 100%, but for whatever reason sometimes it will briefly show the actual level for awhile, then back to 100%.

I did some searching and couldn't find anyone talking about this problem, any idea what it is or how to remedy it?
[Xoom General] keitht:
That is odd. Unplugged, it switches to a lower number then back up to 100% again? Did you install any battery apps or monitoring tools?
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
Not at first. I watched it happen for awhile then I installed a gauge to see what it would do, and it matches the stock battery meter perfectly.
[Xoom General] erzhik:
Looks like your Xoom actually came with a magical unicorn inside that chargers it with magic dust...lol, j/k. But I wish mine had a unicorn.

I say drain the battery, recharge and see if that does anything..or just exchange it.
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
Been sitting here using it for awhile, and it seems to be time based. I would say 5ish minutes at 100%, then it changes to the actual % (which has been going down) then back to 100% in about 1 or 2 minutes.

I'm going to kill it, then charge it while its off and see what happens. I guess we have no way yet to delete the battery stats?
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
Killed the battery last night, charged it fully while it was off. Same problem. I guess the next step is a factory reset, then if that doesn't work its going back.
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
Factory reset didn't help either. I also noticed that the charge light isn't showing the right colors while charging, it just stays white. Guess I'm going to return this thing for another one.
[Xoom General] Xatt:
The manual is incorrect re: charging colors. It is just white and only when off. It will turn green if off and fully charged, but there is no red and none of the percentage variations.

Where are you looking at the battery level? Are you keeping the little window in the lower left hand corner open?
[Xoom General] BoostedSR20:
Actually just returned it, the new one is charging now, haven't turned it on.

It didn't matter where you looked at the battery level. I looked at the notification area, and the setting/status area. Every couple of minutes it would switch between 100% and actual %. Also, when it was plugged in, when it switched to 100%, it would say charged, and wouldn't charge.
[Xoom General] onicrom:
http://twitter.com/#!/Motorola/status/46027762670108672

doesnt look like it includes flash, but has the *things* required to support it once 10.2 is available for android

here is the changelog.. a bit vague though

[Xoom General] MrZ123:
Is there going to be any problem updating for us rooted folk?
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
My xoom is stock but I only have the wy fy model how can I get these updates?
[Xoom General] onicrom:
the wifi model isn't out yet... how do you have it!
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
I went to Best buy today and asked for a unlocked xoom for wy Fy use only and they sold it to me. I didnt sign up for any service at all. They took it off the shelf and took my cash.
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Apparantly the official files to unroot and lock again are posted to the motodev site but noone on the moto forums will tell me where. I am not seeing them anywhere.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
like me and many others here, he probably ordered it without contract and not using it on 3g but just wi-fi. who knows haha:confused:
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
Thats about it! I just walked into Best Buy and told them I wanted a xoom and didnt want to sign up for any service. I am just useing my home router to get on line. I had to pay the full cost for it. I hope I didnt do anything wrong? Anyway, my question remains unanswerd how do I get the needed updates?
[Xoom General] ryan562:
you should be fine. you can still receive the OTA update via wifi.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
if you find them please post them thanks
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Matt, the Moto forum mod, is working to fix the link for the official software. As soon as the files are accessible I will post them in a new post.
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Motorola official relock Files are posted here

http://bit.ly/dX9few
[Xoom General] Deleted member 5132789:
How do you know this is the update? There is no date/info on the page.
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
This is not the update these are the files for those that are rooted to get back to Official software so they can fastboot oem lock
[Xoom General] Deleted member 5132789:
And by doing this, the device will go back to stock/out of the box status?

Do you know if this will wipe the 32gb partition (sdcard)?
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
Yes it does wipe the device. It is back to stock status but you will not have to reactivate the device. If Moto or VZ can tell its been unlocked I dont know.
[Droid 2 Global General] DroiDAddicT14:
i rooted the D2G with z4. now i believe i need to put clockwork on and i wanna throw on this "ROMer" thing to put D2 ROMs on the global...how should i do all this without messing up the phone because it isnt my phone (P.S. im very good at following directions and will hold it against no one if i mess up. i am well aware that i am doing this at my own risk. i used to do this with my droid 1 and i did it with my samsung fascinate)
[Droid 2 Global General] -Gilgamesh-:
Which rom are you wanting to install?
[Nook Color General] ChickenGod:
[Problem 1]

Wifi wouldn't connect to network

Check out this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964199

I only pushed tiwlan_drv.ko, tiwlan.ini, wpa_supplicant.conf, and firmware.bin to /system/etc/wifi/

Reboot and it should be all good!

[Problem 2]

Sometimes the touch screen was unresponsive

Check out this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934500

You can just download it to your phone and install the .apk.

Hope this helps!

If I find anymore problems then I'll post them here.
[Nook Color General] kp4c:
I tried pushing all of these, including the .ini, but it doesn't seem like they're being put onto my nook. adb is seeing the device plugged in, and I remounted beforehand.

Help please?

EDIT: Got all of the files in according to "adb shell ls /system/etc/wifi" but now it sticks me in Wifi "Turning On...Turning Off" Loop for a while, then takes me to the networks, but still doesn't connect to my secure network :/
[Nook Color General] comdei:
App will not download in the marketplace.

they all say unsuccesfull
[Nook Color General] ChickenGod:
Which app are you talking about?

How did you try to push it into your /system/etc/wifi?
[Nook Color General] kp4c:
I moved all of the files from the wifi folder to the Platform-tools folder, then proceeded with:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

adb devices

adb remount

adb push firmware.bin /system/etc/wifi

adb push tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi

adb push tiwlan_drv.ko /system/etc/wifi

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /system/etc/wifi
[Nook Color General] Compnetbobby:
god bless you, it worked
[Nook Color General] ChickenGod:
Did you mount your system?
[Nook Color General] kp4c:
It showed a successful file transfer...what is the keystroke for mounting?
[Android Software Development] nathanpc:
I've seen that almost everyone on the internet that talks about App Inventor and Android development there is someone asking for how to publish their App Inventor inventions to the Android Market, so I've done a very nice Step-by-Step tutorial of how you can make this.

I've used WikiHow for this because it will be more visible, so the tutorial can be shared on other forums, discussion groups and mailing lists. Just go to How to Publish a App Inventor Application to the Android Market

Best Regards,

Nathan Paulino Campos

[KERNEL][KB1]eXistZ KB1 Froyo Kernel #9[01JUL][Voodoo Sound 9, Lagfix & Color][OC/UV]

This kernel is for FROYO KB1 ONLY

This is a BETA, so there might be a few bugs. Im still in the process of adding features, so please bare with me..Ill update the post as I go along

As of right now, there will be no support..this is tagged BETA for a reason. However, its been stable for me

Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.

Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.

Big thanks to Hardcore, Xcaliburinhand, Supercurio, Raspdeep, sztupy, Designgears, Glitterballs, Morfic, Trasig, and eSPyel

As always, flash at your own risk, im not responsible for any damages!

Download older versions HERE

If you have problems connecting to Wifi, try rebooting your router

WARNING

Do NOT use setCPU.. The OC/UV code is actually wrote for Voltage Control.

There are 2 parts to the OC/UV code, enabling "States" and setting "Max Clock".

With setCPU you cannot do this and it will cause problems with stability.

Just use Voltage Control..<--you been warned!

NOTE

When flashing a new kernel/rom your battery indicator may be off.

This means that you can have zero battery drain or a huge battery drain at the beginning.

Let the phone go through 3-5 complete charge cycles for the battery to recalibrate itself.

[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
Nice a KB1 kernel., again, thanks for the hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
wait did 2.2 source come out o.o
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yes sir...
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Is it on samfirmwares?

I didn't really like KB1 but I want to take a peak at the source
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
Way to go existz... you are churning out the kernals lately! Now for my real dilemma... OC'ed CM7, or smooth KB1 battery life goodness...
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Not sure about samfirmware, but its up on opensource.samsung.com
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
source rarely goes to samfirmware....

source comes from opensource.samsung.com
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Wi-Fi doesn't seem to want to connect to my home router. Promising work though.

Works with fugutweaks too.

i'm a herp durp
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Yea same here... didnt notice earlier, but its at the top of my to-do list, ill get it fixed
[Captivate Android Development] crusecontrl:
Dock Audio

Since this is a voodoo based kernel...can you add dock support so that the audio plays correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
Should it be noted that this is a captivate kernel requiring a captivate modem? Or are i9000 modems OK to use with this?

Also does this contain the ~200 patch?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Use a captivate modem (KB1) ..and as of right now no..still working on stuff
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
WiFi connected fine for me.

Getting some odd system hangs, not lag so much as it just seems to freeze for a few seconds, and doesn't catch up like a lag. It just skips to the last action.

Didn't mess with OC/UV yet.

Looking forward to checking this out more tomorrow.

Thanks for getting this out!

Edit: SpeedTest results are showing typical upload speeds and about 40% faster download for me.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Im not sure if ill have much time to work on this tomorrow or not, but if I do, ill get voodoo sound put in.. plus fine tune a few things..but I should be able to put some work in over the weekend
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So the difference between this and those 2 other kernels you made is that this is made of KB1 source?
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Should this be S_disable_bln.sh? The file extension is not there.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Nope, it is correct..its suppose to be just S_disable_bln.., if set to .sh it does not disable BLN
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
I'm here to thank both existz (BIGTIME) and rajendra82 (for being so helpful in this thread)

existz, this kernel is AWESOME!!

I'm currently running it with Cognition 4.1.1 ROM + plumbob gps fix + FuguTweaks. So not only are my phone's data speeds matching and sometimes faster than the Atrix 4G, but at 1.3ghz via Voltage Control 3.0.3, my Cappy has never been this happy!!! Smooth as butter, and SUPER SNAPPY!! Dare I say that my Captivate is now, finally, perfect??!!

I haven't overclocked since back in the days of SRE's JF6 kernel tweaks and using SetCPU to yield instability and frequent sleeping/charging deaths. I came here to say that YOU SIR, ARE DOING IT RIGHT. THANK YOU!

Rajendra82, your posts in this and other threads have been nothing but professional and straight forward, so thanks again for that. Big help in understanding what we're doing here.

Cheers guys! Looking forward to more updates to this already amazing kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
So continuing the discussion, I currently have Voltage Control set for up to 1.3ghz at the default (stock?) voltages. I haven't tried UV yet, but my battery definitely is asking me (subliminally) to undervolt...

Rajendra82,

What are are you finding to be the most stable UV settings for a 1.3ghz profile?
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Cool, thanks.

EDIT: Just confirming that it works. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
My profile is not yet fully set in stone, as I am still to complete the stability tests at the slowest speeds. Based on testing so far my phone likes:

1400 MHz @ -25 mV

1300 MHz @ -75 mV (state is disabled currently, due to being too clustered with adjacent ones)

1200 MHz @ -75 mV

1120 MHZ @ -100 mV (also disabled)

1000 MHz @ -100 mV

800 MHz @ -100 mV

600 MHz @ -75 mV (just finished testing)

400 MHz @ -100 mV (this is the initial value, may need a bump up, testing right now)

200 MHz @ -100 mV (yet to be tested)

100 MHz @ -100 mV (yet to be tested)

Phone is running pretty stable for me, and only had one odd random reboot this afternoon while browsing some website, likely due to instability at 600 MHz, which was set at -100 mV at the time. I have not seen any sleep death at all. The lowest frequencies are the ones I am least sure about.

Please do your own testing though, as these could easily be damaging to your phone.

Edit

I am planning to use the following table of OC/UV until further tweaking is mandated:

1400 MHz @ -25 mV

1300 MHz @ -50 mV (state disabled)

1200 MHz @ -75 mV

1120 MHZ @ -100 mV (state disabled)

1000 MHz @ -100 mV

800 MHz @ -75 mV

600 MHz @ -75 mV

400 MHz @ -75 mV

200 MHz @ -25 mV

100 MHz @ -25 mV
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Should have an update later tonite, some speed improvements, a couple bug fixes..etc..nothing major..
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Fantastic. Look forward to it. Thank you, good sir.
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
Okay, I've been running beta 4 since it came out and I've run into a few things.

Stock KB1

KB1 modem

I am not OC/UV at all.

I've experiences a few random freezes the last couple days.

1. One was overnight, around 4am. When I woke up in the morning, the notification bar clock said 4:01am and the clock widget I use (Minimalistic Text) said 4:04am. It was actually 6:30am.

2. Another was just a few minutes ago, when using the back button to exit out of Gmail.

3. There is at least one other time, but I cannot remember exactly what I was doing.

When I have the mini USB plugged into the phone, regardless of whether it is hooked up to a computer or AC, if I reboot the phone, I have no signal and the phone seems to think it is in permanent Airplane mode.

There have been a couple times when unplugging the mini USB where the notification messages that the USB is attached and debugging mode is active do not go away. They just stay in the notification bar until I plug in again or restart.
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
Captivate kernels need Captivate modems to work right, I9000 kernels need I9000 modems (like JK4) to work right. You could try installing this kernel along with the KB1 modem on Serendipity, but then Serendipity isn't really meant for KB1 so the experience might still be less than optimal. Best strategy is to use a KB1 ROM like Cognition 4.1.1, Fusion 1.8 (HIGHLY recommended).
[Captivate Android Development] Rrryan2:
This might sound counter-intuitive, but with many UV kernels people sometimes get this problem to go away by simply undervolting your highest state by one notch. I've never seen an explanation of why it works.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I was using this kernel with fusion 1.8, and I think it killed my three button combo. I had it on the rom prior continuum 3.3.1 and I flashed directly over to fusion. Everything was working just fine except for this one issue. For experimenting purposes I flashed sucker punch voodoo 6 and it fixed the problem I have 10.08 build phone. I posted this in the fusion thread and one person confirmed the problem is only mine. This might just be the result of a bad flash, but it would be nice if someone else could confirm. Thanks for all your hard work it was really nice to have a stock kernel and modem for a day before nervousness made me move on.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
My three button combo was not affected by the kernel. In fact I am not sure that anything short of a bad flash of the stl.bin can truly make it go away.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
The kernel doesn't break 3 button combo, not sure what would have caused it..but the kernel alone shouldnt break it..try reflashing the kernel, only use CWM and don't use Kernel Flasher app.. I've seen it cause weird **** to happen..
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
*UPDATE*

BETA #5

-add 'Simple IO' scheduler (now default)

-add 10 point multitouch support (fixes few multitouch bugs)

-few performance improvements

Simple IO Scheduler

The Simple I/O scheduler is an extremely simple scheduler, based on noop and deadline, that relies on deadlines to ensure fairness. The algorithm does not do any sorting but basic merging, trying to keep a minimum overhead. It is aimed mainly for aleatory access devices (eg: flash devices)

NOTE

This version will remove your Voltage Control settings upon flash.. Since I changed the default scheduler to the new Simple IO scheduler, it will remove it so the new one is selected.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Alright, copy that, it's me, must be some bad acid in the punch(;~{) punch
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Beta 5 is running quite well with no issues to note so far, but I don't really see any change in any of the benchmarks results with the sio scheduler in beta 5 versus the cfq version in beta 4. Under what conditions of I/O will we reap the benefit of lower overhead of the new scheduler? Or is it meant to provide the same or similar performance, but with reduced power consuption and/or memory footprint?
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
if your in the market for names for this kernel "Bad Acid Punch" kinda has a ring to it. Just say it out loud a few times you'll see what I mean.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
You wont see much, if any difference in benchmarks with different io schedulers.. the IO scheduler basically controls the way the Kernel commits reads and writes to disks..

an IO scheduler pretty much does..

Improve overall disk throughput by „

Reorder requests to reduce the disk seek time

Merge requests to reduce the number of requests

Prevent starvation „

submit requests before deadline „

Avoid read starvation by write „

Provides fairness among different processes

Its one of those things where its going on in the background, and depending on what you do, you may never notice a difference, but its there.. Virtually all applications running on Linux/Android do some sort of IO. Even surfing the web produces a great number of small files that are written to disk.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
i know benchmarks can vary but on beta 4 i was consistently around 1525 now on beta 5 ran 3 times all three close to 1700 lowest being 1676.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Does this Kernel support turning off signature verification? Cause I got a failure do to sig verification.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
How are you booting into recovery? Just power off and do 3 button combo and it will take you into cwm ..
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Sounds like you ran the beta 4 benchmarks before locking snd unlocking the screen, and the FPS cap was not lifted. The beta 5 benchmarks appear to have been run after locking and unlocking the screen, which gives an FPS boost during quadrant. Try it again with beta 5 after a fresh boot before screen goes dark. If you changed nothing else the results should be very similar too.
