guYs,

SGY is among the top 4 Samsung Androids, in terms of number of posts, in this forum. i9000 clearly leads, but we are much more active than 10 other Galaxies or so.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

hey why not drop Android altogether and turn the SGY into a pure Linux machine ?!

I've read some article here (in XDA's portal), mentioned that someone have succesfully install linux on android device. but, even if someone could do that for sgy, personally I wouldn't install it since my sgy only has ~200mb system partition, 190mb data partition and only 290mb ram.

EDIT: here is one of the attempt

Drivers for Android and i-phon ... are they really same.

xactly.

cuz we needa fix a severe problem I found: you cannot install more than roughly 10 typefaces ! the settings.apk FCs when too many fonts, i.e. 20 , are installed.

so the videocore must render em fonts without interference from settings.apk

    How To Get Logcat For Windows User
    Here's how to do a logcat, providing you have installed android sdk.

    1. Turn off your phone (if stuck, just remove the battery).
    2. At your command prompt, do "adb logcat > logresult.txt".
    3. Plug your phone to your usb and power it.
    4. After at least 1-2 minutes or until the phone has fully booted up, terminate your logcat session (ctrl+c).

    By then you have created a logresult.txt which contains your logcat entries. PM your results to the devs.

    Sir Maroc,I Dont have Use System 1.0.8 to v2,its make any issue?

    Amazing PowerSave Governor ;P
    ---------------------------
    in 2.0 do i need to use the system.zip of 1.0.8 ?
    ---------------------------
    I'm not using it, I just flashed the kernel using faqbly method and that's it. Not sure about custom roms though
    ---------------------------

    Flash the Kernel with any method you want (Odin, Mai77, or Faqbly).
    For better speed :) install ext4.zip
    For better performance :) install system-1.0.8.zip

    Reboot Twice :) Enjoy.

    If you have a fresh install (Stock Rom) you need to do it (Install System.zip from 1.0.8) :) but if you have an old rom that have already the system folder (Kernel Modules) installed on it it's not a problem.

    MT Kernel Developer Edition 4 ( v.2.5 )

    Hello Guys :) Uploading The New Kernel :)

    This One are relly Good :) you need to test all things and see if the performance are increased :)
    Notice : Superuser.apk removed :) so if you wana root the device just put you new files in :

    /system/rooting

    we support : su, busybox and Superuser.apk in that folder

    For ext4 this one are really do the job :)

    To convert you STL blocks you need to do this :

    1) - Make a Nandroid Backup.
    2) - Install the attached EXT4 Zip file.
    3) - Restore your Nandroid Backup.
    4) - Flash the PDA.merruk.tar (cause the nandroid backup will flash back your old kernel)
    5) - Enjoy The New Speed :)


    This File do 2 things for ext4 :), & reset the custom bin counter (Bin file used from docky Thanks for him), and finally Flash the kernel.
    Convert the blocks to ext4 filesystem, and tune the filesystems with ext4 specs :)
    You can easely turn you system to ext3/2 to have more speed (ext2 is better cause no journal there so it turns fast recording to the checks found in internet)

    For Kernel if you used the EXT4 Zip File you are done, if not flash the PDA file attached via Odin.

    After Installing please let the system take the time nedded to full booting and reboot twice to take effects :)

    Have a Good Day :)

    Please Your Reports improve the kernel, so send them :)

    EDIT:

    guys please read carfully it's not for noobs.

    if you wanna convert your blocks the partitions system/data/cache will be formated and converted to ext4, the Ext4_Converter-signed.zip attached also flash the kernel.

    if you don't wanna be in ext4 FS just flash the attached kernel as pda (PDA.merruk.tar).
