when any rom just install it did not need lagfix, but later yes
It seems much better than JPH (which was unusually bad) - quite close to the performance I was getting with JP4, but slightly better.
I haven't applied any lag fix yet as it doesn't really seem necessary on these ROMS, but I'm going to give that a go later.
One word of warning though, JPH, JP4 and now JPK all hate corruption in user databases. If you're getting FCs / massive delays at startup, this is what will be causing it.

The Device is rooted, i get access with rootExplorer and can delete any App from system/apps but everything appears again immediately.
I wanted to uninstall the crappy Voice Dialer App. Because it is absolutely bad if i use my Helmet Headset on Bike and my BT Handsfree.
Voice Dialer starts and recognize NOTHING right. Even if i try to speek english.
In comparison. Voice Dialler on my Blackberry Bold 9700 works absolutely great and recognize also if i speek German. And it tells me who he dial before he do it.
Voice Dialler on Galaxy calls any Number (and in nearly 100% of trys the wrong) without any comment.
And.
Once again.
Since the first releases of Froy Samsung has broken the connection between Google Sync and third Party Apps. Specially Calendar Apps.
So also in this release.
All Tasks that are created with third Party Apps (Jorte, TouchCl .... ) Appears in Calendar on Device and ar dedicated to the right Google Calendar on Device. But not synced with Google.
After open, editing or new saving with Stock Calendar it will be synced.
This belongs to ALL Cal Apps i have tested!!!!!!!!
Absolutely bad (for me)

To keep this post useful try to specify ALWAYS what you flashed (odin version, pit verison, etc) and how you rooted the phone.
Moreover, report if you installed any other app, or had to restore nv_data, or made any other modification to stock system.
Lagfix is an absolute MUST. Anyone with more than 50 apps will need one sooner rather than later. Don't believe any clowns telling you otherwise. RFS is here to stay and RFS is nowhere near as good as ext4. The sooner Voodoo can get ported to Froyo the better!
Product code changed and the backup of the nv_data.bin is crap. Restoring it resulted in a corrupt imei! Needless to say I have multiple offline copies of the EFS files for this....
GPS is complete and total crap. While it does lock to many satellites and it does lock quickly it seems to have this nasty feature where it just 'assumes' where you are going to the point where if you stop abruptly it keeps on going. I also misses sharp turns etc. While you are going in a straight line it is almost spot on but I assume it outright 'lies' about the position in an effort to hide the lag. How else could one explain the other symptoms?
Generally JPK is usable but still very beta in a few places. I sure hope GPS goes back to what it is in JM8. I ran a few tracks with JM8 and it is almost always spot on and without any errors.
For those that have the issue: to edit things in /system it must be remounted rw......
Database and File system still very slow, quadrant score 992
Netflix has released the app for the Evo and Nexus S but not for the Epic. Would anyone be able to port it over to the Epic?

Anyone try it yet on the Epic? I don't use netflix, but once I can get it streaming on my phone, I might have to sign up.

Just attempted. I get audio for afew secs ten it crashes back to que. Get longer audio in portrait, landscape is just a blurp... resolution/video problem?
Its soooooo close....
New app is cooler too. I use it to manage que anyways.

The referenced Android Police article involves a change to build.prop to make the phone report itself as an HTC G2. Considering that the Epic and Nexus S are both Galaxy S variants on Sprint with 4G, I am curious as to whether it would be preferable to use:
ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
just tried the Nexus S. get device not supported and app crashes on login.
edit: HTC Vision no longer gives me device not supported. but app still crashes on login.
also: swype refuses to swipe words with the build.prop change. can any one else confirm?
The very first release never crashed but since the first update it's never worked.
It might just be the rom though.

Thanks for that app. It works perfectly on my wife's evo. I wish we could have it.
Sent From My Evo Killer!
I had copied build.prop to the SD card, edited in a terminal emulator using vi, used some command line magic to copy it to the system folder, then rebooted the phone. After starting the Netflix app, it notified me that this phone was unsupported, then force closed after a login attempt.
Interesting they made the app for the evo over the epic at the very least released both at the same time collectively aren't there more galxy s devices over the evo...
first modify /system/build.prop
replace the like values with the below
Code:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
**** ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/252548:user/release-keys
only add this line and comment ou the other if you dont already have the apk
then reboot the phone and go to market and install netflix.
do NOT load it.
once installed open up adb shell and as root
Code:
cd /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/lib/
cp libnetflix_device1.so libnetflix_device1.so.bak
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_devicex.so
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_device1.so
you will now be able to sign into netflix, view whats available and manage your queue.
but cant watch movies, in most of the ec05 and eb13's that we have it gives an issues with being unable to enumerate OMX device drm.play
if you install stock odin EC05(just the raw stock flash with nothing done) it will say that it throws an java exception and will just freeze lock
if you flash ED12 it works perfectly out of the box(but ed12 has issues)
Still working on it.
PS the above build.prop edit works for the nook colour and viewsonic Gtab and a host of other CM7 based devices as well.
All of the above is completely unnecessary if all you want to do is open the app and view your queue. It will do that without modification.
not on the epic it wont.
itll tell you first that its not in the market
then itll tell you its not for this phone
then itll just exit out to homescreen once you login.

This Mod is flashed through CWM to enable 2 simple all-in-one commands to Freeze/Defrost SNS, DRM, and System Updates. Downloads at the end of this post. Read on to learn what they do and how to easily use them!
Fully Flash-able Test Version HERE
Freeze SNS, DRM, and System Updates for Better Battery
These services are, generally, best kept frozen 99.9% of the time. Not deleted, as I've experienced problems if they are actually removed, but disabling them saves me noticeable battery life.
You can use Titanium Pro, MyToolbox, ,Bloat Freezer, or Mybackup Pro to freeze services, but that's only after you've installed a rom. Then once you boot in, you have to buy and download that app, and then navigate a huge list of services to freeze.
But it only takes one line of code per service you want to freeze. That's right, the following commands can be entered into a terminal like Terminal Emulator to disable these processes:
Code:
su [I](Gains root)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm [I](Disables DRM launcher)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns [I](Disables sns)[/I]
pm disable com.samsung [I](Disables updates)[/I]
However, these commands are lengthy, not easily memorized, and just a pain to write. The best solution I can come up with is to simplify the commands.
[Note] You do not want to do this if you don't understand how freezing these services may affect your day-day use. This will save some battery at the definite cost of DRM content functionality and Facebook Contact integration.
How To Use This Mod:
Still using Terminal Emulator, after you flash one of the linked .zip files, all you will have to type is the following:
To Freeze Services:
Code:
su
superfreeze
To Defrost Services:
Code:
su
superdefrost

I am still in the works to make this work entirely solo once flashed from CWM.
PS: If you're looking for a free alternative to any of the apps I listed up above, this isn't it. This is only one small, dedicated part of those apps. I highly recommend buying one of them, you'll find them very useful.
PPS: This mod, and subsequent versions of it(hopefully!), is for the Epic 4G. I cannot guarantee that the script is accurate to any other phone. But the commands themselves are universal across Android.
Thanks to paulobrien for his explanation found here!
I can't answer you script question, but I have one of my own. Are those commands permanent, or will I have to type those in everytime I turn my phone back on? I'm assuming the latter, since you want to be able to do it easier.

These commands are indeed permanent on reboot. Pm Disable is exactly the function apps like Titanium use when "freezing" services. The goal is, I would like these commands to be executed while my rom is installing. I used a similar .zip file as a skeleton for the layout, but I'm just not sure what additional coding is required to make this work. I'm 99.9% positive it can be done.
Oh ok. So I now don't have to disable the drm or sns anymore. Cool, if I ever needed to re-enable them, what would I type in?
Sent from the only thing i need.
Surprisingly logical, you just have to type enable instead of disable.

It's a shame, it'd be nice to have a rom install with some services like this disabled by default. Then there could be a matching patch to re-enable them if needed.

I'm guessing that the Android runtime system has to be fully initialized and running for the pm command to work, and it's not in the limited runtime of the recovery environment.

That seems to be the problem, because I've gotten the tiny files themselves to run in the terminal, which is at least useful for streamlining this operation! But I can't get them to do anything in recovery, it just has no effect.
So I have come to the conclusion that this cannot be done from CWM due to reasons I've explained in post #1.
However, I have posted a workaround CWM flash-able which, still using Terminal Emulator, simplifies the commands down to 2 simple codes.
UPDATE: Turned out I posted bad .zip files with out of date updater scripts. The links have been fixed and should work as described in Post #1!

Yup, kinda! The guys that wrote apps to freeze services deserve a lot of credit. They are fairly easy to use in bulk.
I wish I could make this automatic, but this way I only have to type two easily memorized commands to stop/start the 3 services I hate most!
UPDATE: Mediafire mirror links posted for when megaupload wants to be wonky.
You might be able to make this fully automatic with tasker. There is an option "device boot," there is the ability to launch an app, and to type, then close the app. Might look a little sloppy, but it should definitely work. I'll try it and report back later today.
EDIT: Works like a charm. For the Context, go into Event, System, Device Boot. For the Tasks, choose App, Load App, Terminal Emulator, then Input, Type, enter the text, then choose Input, Button, Back twice to close out of the app, as the Kill command will just restart it.
For what it's worth, there must be a way to have an application start off as disabled, because that's how CIQ starts, as far as I know. Perhaps the dev of the paid application Autostarts can shed some light on it for you.

Thats a nifty trick! Now I could patch Tasker and it's data into the rom itself. Now here's the question, is Tasker a persistently running battery draining service?

That may be true, but SNS, Updates, and DRM have to run consistently. Unlike some certain apps that run non-stop for no reason.
Just make the zip add a file to init.d that executes the command on next boot then deletes itself...

I actually tried that, but the command "pm disable" just doesn't do anything from recovery for me. Unless I'm not calling for a function I need or something. Still toying around with it. I even tried to just patch it into one of the existing init.d files, but still no result.
Update: I'm a noob at developing. I can roughly understand existing script enough to rearrange it, but if somethings missing, I probably can't spot it. Haha
Can someone tell me why I still have ads on my apps?
I am rooted with one-click, installed Calkulin's rom 2.9.2 and went ahead and installed Adfree to see if it would help. Still have ads.
Never had a problem with the rooting or flashing the rom. I have also tried several modems trying to find the best for my phone. I currently have FC18 installed and it seems to be the best so far, Sat. lock is almost instant.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
OP where are you seeing the ads?
Did you run adfree and rebooted your phone ?
I'm on blazer and see ads in tweetcaster. That's the only one as far as I can tell

Odd...that is precisely the core of the ad-block... basically any address that points to that, say ad.doubleclick.net gets redirected internally to the loop address, i.e. it wont be able to load the ad since its being blocked. It could be that the application is getting the ad from somewhere else. Try droid wall.

Already tried that... the heading is "Google Search Settings" and the only option listed is "Google Search". My Vibrant (ICS) and my wife (stock froyo) shows a list of checkboxes there. I don't see that on my Titanium (ICS)
