[Kernel] init.d support for I9000

First of all, I need to tell you who has made this AWSOME thing.
Have a look at here
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744655
Above is the original post written by justanothercrowd, A.K.A. JAC.
Thanks JAC for allowing me to release this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL RISKS ARE ON YOUR OWN.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Features and benefits are described in the OP.
So, I'll just upload the files needed.
Attachment has named as "I9000" and it contains two files which are;
initd_for_i9000_update.zip
vibrant_initd_for_i9000.tar
You NEED to install initd_for_i9000_update.zip first otherwise something bad is gonna happen.
And this file is only compatible with ClockworkMod Recovery ATM.
After that, Just flash the kernel, named vibrant_initd_for_i9000.tar, via ODIN.
Hope this helps you guys be comfortable.
cheers!
EDIT: this doesn't have the "dc2sd" script because we are having the brilliant tweak which doesn't need a MicroSD card any more!
EDIT2 : this is only for 2.1 based roms.
and it doesn't include the fix from "Quadrant score 2234 with rooted stock FW I9000ZSJF7 [EDITED 09AUG 0039HKT]" thread (actually, I've got one for me but it's rubbish... however, somebody must be working for it.)
this kernel supports the EXT4 partition but not includes a fix for it.
it's just been ready for them all!

As this is a kernel, does that mean 2.1 base roms only?
Or will 2.2 roms such as JP3 work?
Also, does this use the fix from this thread: "Quadrant score 2234 with rooted stock FW I9000ZSJF7 [EDITED 09AUG 0039HKT]"
But stabilise it through using the kernel and EXT4?
Maybe some further info on what this does please. not so much the kernel side, but the FS side.
Awesome work BTW

[KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Brazilian I9000B

First of all, thanks a lot to franks.maia for your I9000B initiative and support and patience.
The kind of kernel published here are only stock kernels, which means the exact same code build by Samsung for Vibrant phones.
Of course, there's a difference: Voodoo lagfix 5 stable has been injected in them, with its extensions and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
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.
Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)
This kernel also installs the su binary for your convenience. Only activated once you download Superuser App from market. If you don't want to "root" your phone, skip this part.
How do choose the version?
The best version is the closest to the one of the ROM / system you run.
If you use a custom ROM instead of an official Samsung one, ask your ROM dealer which one is closer
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e) or SGS Kernel Flasher
JPD+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...Voodoo-Froyo-I9000B-VJJPD-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin or Heimdall
JPD+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I9000B-VJJPD.tar
Note, please disable any other lagfix previously installed, especially OCLF-kind (the conversion to Ext4 would take ages)
These kernels are only for I9000B, available in shout America like Brazil, Argentina Chile and Peru. (thanks guys!)

Thank's a lot supercurio, we already have a ported speedmod kernel, and it's good to have this one too, oh, a little correction, I9000B it's available in Argentina too
Edit: What about a 2.2.1 kernel with all the features? (Voodoo sound, BLN, sharpness adjustment...) It's possible?

Also Chile and Peru.

Supersurio thanks for the kernel, at the beginning when I bought the device attempts to place the Voodoo, and the phone was bricked, i was felt hopeless and was from that experience that I began to flash with customs ROMs. Here we have of customs kernels and we install the Voodoo, but until now it did not get digital TV with this model, I think that this kernel can be Ext4 and TV. Thanks again.

Odin3 1.7
Hi.
Can you describe which options should be used with Odin for this kernel+recovery update?
When I first upgraded to JPA, and then to JPD, I just used the PDA option, and flashed twice (first attempts never worked, somehow).
Kind regards
Marco

man, i'll need to donate 4 u after that!!!
thanks
one question:
we can use this kernel with any ROM we want herer in XDA base in 2.2 and above, can't we?

digital tv working perfect?
BRAZOOKA!

Scary fuzzy characters during rom flash... Now stuck on the Boot Logo, with metal voices telling me to wait... I hope it doesn't screw up xD
I'll post results

HELL YEAH! SUCCESS!!!
And the difference from OCLF is HUUUUUUUGE
THIS IS DEFINETLY A MANDATORY PATCH FOR ALL I9000B USERS!!!

What about tv. It works?
Kernel working with what rom?

Everything works, including TV
Just flash it and you will see the difference!
By the way, say thanks for me, I tested a ROM lol (I want my first thanks )

nice job man, really god mod
but how can i undo the ext4 lagfix ?

Great Supercurio, donation really deserved.

You can do the unlagfix using clockworkmode included in the pack. There's an option in CWM menu. Take a look. Regards

ODIN Parameters
Hi all. Hey @Helvio88 (already "thanked" you )
Any special configuration for ODIN?
Can you or someone put a screenshot if it before hitting the "gogogo" button?
Thanks.
"If you brick it, they will came" (Field of Dreams)

Excelent!!!
I Will test.
And Battery, normal?

Some people are reporting 3g problems. Is there any sugestion about lagfix config, in CWM Recovery, to solve this bug? I think debug mode on/off might be related whit the solution, am I right?
Thank you,

Hi criscan!
About 3g (and, well, about everything^^) It should behave like the original kernel, as It's the original kernel
The operation made here is wrapping the lagfix around the kernel and integrating ClockWorkMod recovery but that's all

Speedmod
Is there any chance you could also add to the kernel the changes done by hardcore on his speedmod?
Like, having a Speedmod+Voodoo for GT-I9000B?
That would be truly awesome.

Test Kernels From Adrynalyne

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED!!! USE AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!! Make WORKING Odin Files First!!!
Hey folks,
I do not have a Continuum, but I noticed in a few threads that some folks are seeing trouble with the cdrom/mass storage bug that the Samsung Fascinate users are plagued with.
I cannot test this kernel, as I do not have the device. However, for the brave (and those who have ODIN images!), please try this:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/adryn_continuum_02.zip
I wish I could test it beforehand (especially since I saw no Continuum kernels), but I do not have a device to test. This was built from DL17 source.
Features
---------
cdrom/mass storage fix
undervolted
cifs support
tun support
bunch of debugging crap in the kernel removed.
Hope I was able to help, and please, be careful with this!

Do you just flash this in recovery?

LagFix... Please Let Me Know...

Hi Everyone,
I searched the forum for Lagfix tool... and i found all the apps to be either deprecated or development stopped. Could you please post me the link for the best one to use right now?? Thanks.
Oh forgot to mention i am on the Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.2).

Most lagfix's are built into custom Kernel releases such as CF-Root, Galaxian or Semaphore with some of them using an addon app to apply the lagfix. If I were you I would do a bit of reading through some of the kernel threads in the Development section.
The basic app versions of lagfixing such as OCLF have all been abandoned as they eventually proved to be a little unreliable I think as opposed to kernel lagfixing methods.
Have a good long read through the FAQs for the I9000 if you're unsure of anything, they're well written and explain pretty much everything you'll need to know

Sorry to post and not come back! Thanks bigdyl69 for the reply.
OK... so i went through this thread about fixing niggling issues with SGS. And i sure am confused! Sorry if my questions are silly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
And in the General section's #6, is something that relates to Lagfix i think. So i can see all the older one's striked out which would mean they are no longer any good. But i do see three names there:
- Voodoo Lagfix
- Universal LagFix
- Fugumod Lagfix
So are these LagFix tools or custom ROM's?
But before anything, let me know:
1. I cannot do a Lagfix on a phone that has ROM's downloaded/installed from Kies? Am i right?
2. To do a lagfix first i have to get a custom ROM and custom ROM's have an inbuilt Lagfix tool?

It depends only from the kernel.
Lagfix is changing the file sysyem, so you need a kernel that support different file system.
Some kernel have inbuilt tool ( Speedmod, TORNADO) , others use ChainFire app to do this.
But when you flash new rom it's recommended to be on stock file system (RFS)
Само Левски S.U.R.F.A.C.E. ROM + BAT + TORNADO KERNEL

So if i upgrade to from Kies, it will be to the 2.3 platform dont know exact JP number now. Then i will have the default file system. But then i wont be able to do a Lagfix right?

[CWM] Perm. CWM included in Stock boot.img

Hello everybody,
I don't know if this has been done already, but I couln't find it so I thought why not make a version of my own.
Next to WhiteXP i'm also working on a version of CyanogenMOD 7.2, but with a different approach.
In my oppinion before even trying to release something it's important to have a permanent and working version of instead of the stock recovery.
The difference between this phone and many other phones is the fact that the recovery is included in the boot.img file.
My own phone for example, a Samsung Galaxy S Plus, has a seperate standalone recovery.img.
Because I don't own this phone myself I hope another developer can test if this is working properly.
I didn't change the kernel or important boot files other than the recovery itself, so booting into android shouldn't be a problem and remember it's build upon the stock kernel for now.
Here is the downloadable boot.img: http://depositfiles.com/files/90ye57wtm
The kernel should be flashable through the existing CWM which is already posted in the forums with this file:
http://depositfiles.com/files/e21qacxo9
Hopefully somebody is willing to give me some feedback.

Hello
Here I am again with a little update.
This version doesn't seem to work okay, it gets into a bootloop.
I will try to fix these problems at a later time.

Thanks...for your work merge CWM into stock kernel...:thumbup:

Here's a little update of the work i'm doing right now.
As I already said I'm also working on a version of CyanogenMod myself.
The problem is not anymore the availability of the drivers, because BroadCom released their drivers to the public.
In my opinion the next bottleneck is the Kernel. I didn't own a Galaxy Y at first, but I recently bought one to make it easier to test different configurations.
My main phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Plus which already has a realy stable CM9 version, but also the kernel is already updated to version 3 from 2.6.35.14.
This is also my goal ultimatly, but the Galaxy Y uses RFS filesystem in combination with FSR. These are closed source modules from Samsung, which make it difficult to update kernels.
There is a known hack that you can alter the version in the make file of the kernel to 2.6.35.7 while it realy is patched up to 2.6.35.14, but i'm not very fond of such hacks.
I'm a daily linux user already since the year 2000 or so, and build many kernels for Linux computers from source. I can say I have good knowledge of the compilation proces and what's going on in the kernel.
Now back to what i'm doing at the moment:
I already converted the complete galaxy y to EXT4 file system, incl. the EFS partition, and yes I still have my IMEI data etc. so this is considered done [status: complete]
Next step is getting rid of the RFS & FSR kernel modules, which are proprietary [status: complete]
At the moment I'm busy updating the kernel to version 2.6.35.14 the proper way, so I have a stable base kernel to build CM on [status: WIP]
After this I will add CWM recovery to the updated kernel, and make sure everything works as it should, like ADB in recovery mode, formatting, and all these things. [Status: Planned]
When CWM recovery functions as it should work, the proces of building CWM into the Galaxy Y can begin [Status: WIP -> Stalled until kernel stable].
This is a little update on the things I have in mind.
If you like it, please post a comment, that also lifts my spirit in the lots of things that have to be done.
Greetings
