[Q] Couple of newbie questions :) - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Phk said:
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the lag problem does not accure instantly after startup, it takes a while to do so.
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this release is, lets say, alpha quality, however some do use it daily and seems to be stable so far, but the jit is broken, so dont expect it to be faster than eclair
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can run the clockwork recovery from original recovery by simply running it´s update.zip, this does in fact load the clockwork recovery into memory
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff
Cheers

If JIT is broken, the rest of new 2.2 features can be achieved through Market tools... I'll stick to 2.1 then. By the way, where's a CLEAN 2.1 Rom? this one has lots of service-provider tools... They suck.

Now That's a fix! So i just have to keep my update.zip of Clockwork Rom in INTERNAL SD CARD so that anytime, anywhere, i just have to perform update.zip and the Clockwork will boot ONCE from RAM and them be cleared at next boot, right?

Give it a try, it clears out the stock rubbish and leaves it in a folder on ur sd card to install later if you need it.

[REQUEST]Hybrid R4 Final > AOSP Clone <

Hello,
Is there any chance we will see Eugene's AOSP Vibrant ROM on our I9000 Froyo ?
It would be what a lot of us are looking for in a while.
Link to Eungene's ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773018
The vibrate version is fully functional on I9000,
Use odin to flash JM9 first, the apply the ASOP on top. Very nice rom and the fastest for SGS, apps open instantly.

He did ask for a Froyo version though
Was not aware that this can be used with 2.1
Maybe I will give it a try
@DocRambone: I saw that you asked Eugene on how to optimize his ROM for I9000. What about porting this to 2.2 ?
I will buy you lots of beer.
Thanks
do the download and recovery keys stay in the same place if you put this rom on?

Well, I am not rich enough for a truck, but I can give a pack or two
EDIT: I am currently flashing to JM9 with JM7 modem and CSC, then will apply R4. By any chance are you aware how to remove Vibrant logo at boot ?
what thas it mean can we put this rom in our i90000 with no trouble and the other rom like bionix?could we put them in there?
Dont know about bionix, but as Doc said, it should work with JM9. As said, I will flash and try and let you know the result. Fingers crossed.
Jm9 and this excellent rom is ok, i use it right now.
There is a bug tho:

This ASOP r4 is not froyo, its 2.1 rom. Make sure that the rom you take from Vibrate forum don't include kernel or modem.. or you may brick your phone otherwise
So wat exactly do you need to do in odin after flashing JM9 with the zip file from the vibrant forum and the freezing fix?

Install jm9, factory reset, install the Hybrid r4Asop, use rootmangager (or other filemanager or adb) to put the playslogo file in system/bin
When you install the Hybrid r4Asop rom, do you use the normal recovery or something else?

great rom, going to keep this as the daily runner until something else happens..like honeycomb, lol..
you forget how much you miss sense when you have been on GB for so long.

Also using this one now, it's very nice!

Just do a full wipe in recovery and flash an other ROM.
You can also try to do a full wipe and flash this ROM again. Must simply work...
Sorry - wasnt too precise. I'm running RUU version of this one. My phone just came back from repair and they've (T-mobile UK) of course upgraded it to the latest available version which happens to be this one.

When I tried the Stock-upgraded-version I could root it with Universal Androot, then copy a custom recovery.img to my sdcard and go into terminal or ADB and type:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
The recovery.img-part can be replaced with wherever you placed the image file, and whatever you named the file..
Then boot into recovery: Turn off -> Press&Hold Home and turn on -> Flash whatever ROM and get on with my phone
In Denmark however, the carriers don't lock the phones, so I don't need a goldcard..

I have tried both. At Villan rom I had problems with app2sd (when I installed over 50 apps it took all the phones memory and almost nothing at ext. sd partition) so I've switched back to Ele..
edit: + battery life seems to be better on ele rom..
Conclusion: On villain rom dalvik cache is on the phone and it's faster if you have slow sd card.
On other hand, if you have a fast sd card and a lot of applications, use Ele's rom.

wait a few weeks and we'll have a fully working ROM (hopefully), but for now it's just best to leave it unless you want to test it and post results on the spreadsheet they have, saying what you're using, what works/ doesn't etc.. if you have that much spare time on your hands lol

[Q] [PROBLEM] GNexus slow after installation whichever ROM unofficial.

Hi Guys,
it's the first time that I need your help with my galaxy nexus.
5 months ago I rooted my phone and I installeted a ROM( maybe Revolution ROM ) and my phone was fast and perfect.. without problem.
After 1month or 6weeks I had my first random reboot and began the lags, and i decided to install a paranoid ROM. Before to do the flash, I did a full wipe but my Phone was immediately slow while i was doing the configuration.
I thought that the rom was not stable and i decided to install another ROM but I had the same behavior... Phone slow and reboot everytime!
I decided to flash the custom google factory ROM by toolkit and to install again the recovery and try to flash another rom more "stable" like a CyanoGEN RC5. IN the first time was amazing! my phone was perfect, without lag and very fast, but after 4/5 days started the random reboot and lag!
the problem is that this problem emerge often but not always!
I tried to install 5 different rom, but I have always the same problem! after 4/5 days i have the same lag, delay and random reboot!
especially i have the problem with the original keyboard and swiftyFlow KB, often it's very slow...
normally I have 95/100 apps in my phone.
What can I do?
thanks a lot!!

Try Installing a rom of your choice, but don't download any apps (outside of the core GApps), or restore backups.
It may be to the fact that several apps are trying to sync data at the same time, or update through the Play Store. I know with some ROMs the scrolling its very jittery at first but once all the services connect and settle, its works fine.
I'm not sure if you've tried that, but let me know
ok, thanks!! tonight I am going to try!!
thank you!

How about flashing a new kernel? I only get this kind of lag on Paranoid Android when Halo is activated, using swiftkey is a nightmare, very slow to load, and other apps as well. Now I'm on Liquid Smooth 2.5 with Fancy Kernel and I'm very happy, not lag at all, it runs very fast even with the stock kernel.
Also, you should monitor your apps, may be one is running in the backgroung when you are not using it and it is sucking all your RAM.
Hope it helps!
Ak256 will speed things up a bit also lagfix is available from the play store also of you haven't already the transition speed to .5 in the developer options that also helps
sent from Atlantis
If nothing hepls, backup all your data, flash google stock image via fastboot, flash custom recovery and then try to flash any ROM you want. Also use a good ROM and kernel combination
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

unfortunately I try all combination that you have wrote but after 2/3 days it arrive the problem.
Can I try something else?

Franco has been really good for me in the past, however to really gain the benefit you need a ROM that exposes the ability to adjust the CPU type/performance.

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.
you're right. I just said. Don't be mad on me :|

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.

So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.

I would recommend Mildwild MW rom based on redux2.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.
