Develop Bugs

[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

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

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?

I've seen the fix but i'd like to understand if the bug exists in every kernel, since is a file-system related bug.
Thanks

I dunno about you but HACKECLAIR surfaced the day I got my phone so I thought it might be destiny, or you know just a co-incidence.

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.

Ok thanks bortak

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

Now the alpha 3.1
Sometimes 3G work very well,but sometimes 3G can't work. But call/sms work very well.
Did other people have the same problem?

Cool hope that we could install ics in the near future ;-)

Could not connect to 3g even once since 0.3.1 update. Sandvold is working on the issue (see irc...)

Yeah but it freezes all the time, reboots, camera don't work and still slow. Don't get me wrong it CAN be used (and I was using it for ages)... but the cons outweigh the pros as of yet and I rather use a GB ROM, a lot faster and a lot more stable. I mean kudos to the devs they're doing a great job, but it's still early days IMO

when autorotation is disabled, no more reboots or freezes in my case. And the freshnew version I'm downloading ATM should solve rotation issues
Only camera *preview* doesn't work.

If you are using anything but stock hboot you may have issues as Lenny does modify the rom to primarily suit stock hboot. It will work on other hboots but some apks are missing.
Look at alpharev website and flash back to stock hboot. Do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. From their you should find miui-au pretty stable

I had a problem once changing hboot. I read a few times on different forums that one should always use the "downgrade" hboot prior to changing hboot. Since then i did so, and did not have any problem anymore.

Defy Pro Rom

So, I've got the ugly duckling of the Defy line(but I love it), the Defy Pro XT560. I was able to root using some adapted steps from a Motorola Motoluxe procedure(http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173, not in english). I'm wondering if anyone knows if this would mean there's a chance the phones are similar enough to possibly, maybe, someday get an updated ROM on the thing?

Similar? Not. Screens are not similar, hardware keyboard. I dont think its possible cuz of the screen resolution. It will be a pain in the "face".

I don't know enough about it. Apps seem to work fine with the resolution...is there a good guide for rom cooking somewhere? Maybe I'll play around myself since I doubt I can find anything that'll work with the phone.

Most of the apps are able to run on many devices cuz they support different resolution. It has nothing to do with the ROM.

What is the fundamental issue with a different resolution?

Check some ROM porting guide. Its written there that you have to choose ROMs with the same resolution cuz it will be easier to port. It means that u cant use the same ROM on 2 different phones with different resolution.

Well, there must be a guide somewhere on how to cook a rom....I'd like to at least try, given that once the next version comes out, GB will be 4 versions behind...

I have a 2ndinit CM 7.2 port just about complete. Everything except the camera works and I'm pretty close on that. This is using stock kernel, I have not looked into 2ndboot yet. I'm also waiting on the kernel source from motorola. If there's intrerest still, one I get the cam working ill post it.

Yes, we are very interesting with CM7 ROM - I had used it on my ChaCha and it was very nice. But, I believe that if I want to install custom ROM, I must have CWM Recovery (custom recovery) already installed, isn't it?
Sorry for my bad English .

CWM is installed using the Bootmenu installer. Right now I am running CM 7.2 off my SD card so I can dual boot. To access bootmenu cleanly I am currently using battery_charger mode,but, I have been able to get into CM7.2 using the first run service vpnmanagerpm. also. I still need to get the camera working, but, hope to have something up soon.

OK, if you already have running CM7.2 on Moto Defy Pro it's very good news, so one problem is camera, isn't it?

Excited to see this. Definitely still at least some interest.

Yeah, cwm works using 2ndinit. The rom is pretty stable, but, I still have not got the camera going. I'm closer though Everything else works and runs really fast off the sdcard. If I'm stuck too much longer, ill take a break and get a version without the cam posted.

not all of us can post there
maybe you should look into particulars(and post them) about instructions in number 2 and installing 2ndinit

Ok, sorry about that. The bootmenu installer takes care of installing the initial 2ndinit for you. The rom has 2ndinit built in for future boots. You just need to connect your rooted phone and run the batch file.

maybe others can say something
tryied with and without adb, with and wihout drivers, with two different phones and with 2 xp pc.
maybe something is't right with installer, or it is necessary use other os or to install something for it to work?

The installer needs to access adb. So either set your path to include the adb location or copy adb to the same directory as the installer script.

[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

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.
