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.

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?

Can you point me to a location explaining the issue?
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.

Custom Image in sight? Read on...

The defy doesn't have some proprietary kernel lock like I was told, the kernel and ramdisk are just packaged different than normal.

Good news from Handler_Exploit ???
Check out his twittering

sounds interesting!

no bootloader？

Steve that's not what he meant. There is a bootloader, and a recovery. What he's saying is that the kernel doesn't have to be signed with a proprietary encryption key from Motorola to be able to function. At least that's my interpretation.
Meaning that once you get a recovery, we will be able to compile stuff from source. Meaning 2.2 it's possible before released by Motorola

sounds good,whatever,defy is great phone

If it turns out this phone is wide open for hacking, that'll be a sign I should sell my Milestone for a Defy.

sense
I am porting sense from desire hd to the defy . who has time to support me

What about Froyo Vanilla?

Just hit me up if you guys need hosting for your roms. I have 30/30 fiber at home, lots of space (relatively speaking) and I could dial that fiber up to 90/90 if necessary

Oh yes please! Froyo w. LauncherPro is so damn nice!

Awesome. I just didn't get a Defy yet because of this Motoblur ****. As soon as custom recovery or custom roms are out I'm gonna rush to the next shop and get one.

No need to wait
Install Launcher Pro from the market and you'll never see MotoBloat again. You coul root it, install Titanium Backup and get rid of anything you don't want

Right, but I just don't want to be forced to stick with a stock Motorola kernel and Andoid 2.2 or whatever they release...

How about stock Gingerbread ???

Uuuh, I guess I'd like that one. But I'd like to have that one when I decide it's time and not when Motorola decides to do something.
I guess I really need to get that phone and start hacking myself.

Maybe I just don't know enough about these things but that strikes me as a good question.
If it's possible to get Froyo on there before Motorola pull their collective fingers out, then it must be just as possible to get a working Gingerbread ROM, right?

[q] [rom] uk3.4.3_11 2.2 rom

I wanna flash CM7 but my defy is still 2.1 now and I need to flash a 2.2 rom first? Nevertheless, I can't find the UK3.4.3_11 2.2 ROM that does not affect the bootloader. May anyone help me

Well, as I don't care much about flashing lots of cooked ROMs which are released on the development section all the time, or even going back to the stock Eclair ROM, I decided to flash the full version. Decision I haven't regreted so far, by the way. But, that's my particular case! So, if you plan to flash CM7, I think it will be better for you to pick the fixed version.

Carlos

What is meant by flashing the full version? I know nothing about flashing Android Rom, but I only want Froyo or even Gingerbread if possible...
Anyway thanks again, so kind and helpful!! :-D

I don't know much, either. Android is new to me as well. Anyway, what I've called 'full', ketonkss4 has called 'Regular'. It's the ROM as leaked from Moto. As far as I know, a fixed ROM is recooked to remove some CGs, which would prevent your device from being downgraded, if you intended to do so.
Anyway, here is a guide for flashing CM7, in case you haven't already read it, that is.

Carlos

Thanks for the help too

[Q] N7100 MI6 4.3 Touchwiz Port to N7105(and others) impossible? Insane?

Ok, so I downloaded Dr. Katan's MI6 ROM for the 7100 and with a touch of insanity installed it to my AT&T phone. IT BOOTED RIGHT UP!
All while using the stock 4.3 Kernel that came with it!
Whole ROM runs perfectly, I have WiFi and GPS and everything's great EXCEPT, no cell signal :crying: When I try to look at the APNs it says No Sim Card.
I flashed the AT&T modem again. That changed nothing.
So, I figured I'd follow a port guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40575946
It didn't work. Installs fine, but the phone just won't boot with it. Just sits there and vibrates occasionally with a black screen.
I figured since it's a 4.3 ROM, I should use a 4.3 base, so I used Beanstalk for AT&T (my daily driver, NOT a Touchwiz Rom).
Should I try it with the stock 4.1 Touchwiz ROM as the base? It seems counter-intuitive, but I could be wrong, as this is my first stab at this.
Since just the modem is the issue, is there one part of the porting that I should be paying extra attention to?
Unfortunately while typing this, I just discovered that the S-Pen isn't working either... It detects it's being removed/inserted, but it doesn't work on the screen.
I'm not seeing anything else on this topic other than "WHEN", "WHY NOT ME", and "THIS IS N7100 ONLY, IT'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE DON'T TOUCH IT GET AWAY FROM IT GO BACK TO AT&T"
Obviously it doesn't brick your phone and I don't want to until December if I can help it.
I'm no dev. I'm what could be considered a Script Kiddy at best, but I'll do all I can to make this work.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Strange that there's no actual developers on this... My attempts thus far have failed.

15. Reboot to Ubuntu.
Open dsixda's Android Kitchen
Decompile both boot.img/kernel
Open both init.rc files
In CM/AOSP kernel replace BOOTCLASSPATH by the one from PORT boot.img ROM
Save and recompile kernel
Use CM/AOSP modified kernel in your rom.

You can stop trying to port and start flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496292, it's officially leaked... That is if you have a AT&T Note 2, which I take it that you do after reading your post.
