[Q] Voodoo with US Cellular's Froyo update - Samsung Mesmerize

I currently have a voodoo kernel on my Mesmerize with 2.1, and now that the update for Froyo is available as of today should I wait for a compatible/updated version of Voodoo to arrive before performing the update?

We've all been running 2.2 for months now with voodoo. It's not a full voodoo kernel, but that is coming soon. If you are completely happy where you are at, you could wait a couple of weeks and by then the new kernel should be out. If you want to update and use what we have now, it's all ready to go.

Yeah I've known about the leaked version for a while I just figured I'd wait. Good to know there will be an updated voodoo kernel in the near future

Ditto. I rely on my Mez for work in addition to play and even the occasional FC is unacceptable. It needs to be rock-solid stable. I had an issue with my first SD Card that came with mine that was triggering incessant scanning and lock ups... and at very inopportune times... and I nearly had a meltdown. I wish I could Beta test for you Devs that are doing such amazing things, but I just can't. (But keep up the good work!!!) I'm also running just Voodoo on a rooted 2.1 Mez and the performance is far from lacking, but like wcouri I just need a stable voodoo'd 2.2 where everything just works to make me happy.

Old thread is old, we have a new froyo build and a working full voodoo now.

Another Day, Another 2.3.3 firmware for the I9000 released. (JVO)

This was released on Kies It's the official GB rom for unbranded Galaxy S devices in Europe... I wonder if it's any use to the Captivate (since the leaked ones were, I bet it is )
Hope it is of some help to us.
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
I'm wandering if it fixes the charge drain issue since I believe the release was pulled/delayed in some euro countries because of it.
I just flashed JVO stock w/ xcal 1.2 w/voodoo. Works perfect, just no home haptic feedback since this is I9000 ROM

Hey, can you tell me if the google music program works on this ROM? I just got my invite and I'm trying to determine if I need to flash back to 2.2.

It does not work still... I think it does on CM7

Who did not update to GB?

I kinda feel left out. It seems everyone has updated or at least tried to update to the Gingerbread release on LGs site.
But after reading how many people had complications or even bricked their phone, I decided not to try and update, hoping that an official "over the air" update will come from tmobile.
Am I the only one that decided it's to risky to try the update and is still on Froyo? Who else has concerns like mines?
I have not either. So far it seems more trouble than it's worth... Waiting on a good, stable release of GB from the devs!

I did not update. I've waited this long.. might as well wait for the official T-Mobile version.

Haven't updated either...I'm running xboarder's GB 2.3.4 and it's pretty stable...still get sod and have overheating issues but they don't happen often.
I want to try out the new update and baseband but don't want to brick my phone as so many have done, so ill just wait a littlebit longer...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Me neither. I wait for a flashable version with new LG drivers and baseband.
I have not either I'm waiting for the Ota...I'm still trying to find out if the update everyone is using is really official or not.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I haven't updated either, mine is the LGP999DWP phone and it keeps saying that my software is up to date. when I read the forums and see how many people are having issues updating to it, i am somewhat glad i can't update right now...wiating for the OTA from T-Mobile I hope they deploy it soon.
i'm also waiting for CM7 to get the latest drivers. but cm7 is already running 2.3.4 so i don't see any reason to downgrade to 2.3.3. from what i have been reading, my cm7 is equal to being as stable as the "OTA". it works great for me.
What GB update?
Lol. Its a downgrade from CM7. While it is nice sometimes to "just work" but my G2x is pretty good on CM7. Occassionally does a nightly give me fits.

Faux123 for Dev *Join the revolution*
yea me neither plus the new miui rom for the g2x is sick
I have not. I tried but the LG updater freezes in Vista.
No update here. I am staying with froyo Dark &Sinister with Faux's kernel. I will only change after the Faux and the other developers incorporate this release inbto their work.
Why didn't LG update to 2.3.4 and skip 2.3.3?

Consensus seems to be that this is still just a development build. Also, given the amount of time it takes to test a ROM on a phone and the frequency that Google updates their OS, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the final shipped version is still 2.3.3.

GB source code released. Build EP4D.

OTA is coming by end of month according to tech support.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
mmm ep4d wonder what is changed in that hopefully the modem issues.
a leak would be great
It appears to be an older build than what we have. It's apparently based on 2.3.5. not sure if this is the OTA and is more stable, or if this is just something that Samsung released on their own.
this means cm7...right?DDDD

It might help improve the kernel, but I doubt it will get them any closer to the RIL, which is the real holdup.

NO it means nothing except a possible tool to improve the GB release........If you want CM7 then build it yourself
On the cm7 problem. Is the RIL problem that they can't get lte working? Could it be fixed for just 3g maybe? I remember When it came out for the evo. It didn't have 4g or HDMI for a long time.

Its not really a leak now that the source code has been released to the public. This is a very strange situation, though, that it appears to be an earlier build than what was leaked weeks ago.
p3 tweeted me that their leak is newer - also, it is the ver. being pushed OTA by VZW today (i created a thread)
ED4 must be the kernel, EP4 must be refined in some other fashion.

The latest ep4p leak is 2.3.6 and the OTA ep4d is 2.3.5. It's not really that strange at all considering they build iterative builds with constant changes, bug fixes, etc. And a later build can easily have changes that introduced a new bug from a previous build. With iterative agile development this is not strange at all, in fact I fully expect it, as well as fully expect there are even later builds than ep4p.
That makes no sense. The ROM and kernel versions usually match. This is leaving me scratching my head.
My brother's phone is still running an old version of EP1W and I have to wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to EP4P or wait. I'm not sure what to do.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.

Is it True? Samsung pulled Gingerbread from server?

Samsung said they found a issue in the gb released and pulled it from their servers, is this True? Samsung claims to have the issue fixed by Friday.

Why Bother
Why bother with this total fail of an upgrade when there are so many better custom ROM's to choose from right here on xda?
I'm on Infused v2.2.3 and really like it but considering making the move to ZEUS soon.
I just can't see any reason to make a giant leap backward with the AT&T GB upgrade. It's just too little too late. YMMV though.
Maybe Samsung decided to use Zeus?
(Actually the GB release is running really well for myself. I haven't even rebooted yet since install last week.)

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.
now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)
If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that
sent from my baby girls rom
hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.

Dani, you are running zeus with the stock kernel?
I remembered dman said trying to run stock kernel in zeus will boot loop.
There were scripts not supported by stock kernel.
To make it run, just disable lagfix?
Just curious...

the init.d scripts wont run. that's true. but you should be able to change kernels after a reboot. its running for me. I didn't look at the scripts to see what other things I'm missing but the rom runs fine without the tweaks and lagfix.

well I ran it with infuseion a few days, but I get the themes, the rom is deodexed, and when ever I deodex something it seems to run weird either slow or choppy. Zeus doesn't. I dunno what dman uses to deodex but it works better than what I have used.

Roms that allow call recording.

I am in serious need of a rom that will allow me to record my calls. I recently (yesterday) was awarded custody of my son. I now have to schedule visitation with his mother and would like to have recorded proof. I will be notifying her at the onset of each call that they will be. These will all be in case she doesn't show for scheduled visitations.l to prove that I have been setting time aside. Please any he'll would be good. My system is a rooted captivate with stock kernal running stock gingerbread minus some bloatware. Ive only wandered across thread discuasing apks and other files that ive no clue about changine to do so. Thanks for any help.

The Firefly ROM can record calls. IMO Firefly was one of the most polished ROMs out there. Unfortunately it is Froyo, but it's still an amazing ROM. Check out this post I made a few months ago about getting call recording to work as well as the whole thread on call recording. Hopefully this helps, good luck.

I'd like to run that as my phone ran better on and came stock with froyo. Once I updated to Ginger it began to suck. Force closes, lagging. It been terrible but I can't upgrade the phone until next year at upgrade time. It has been a great $0.97 phone. I've tried to load roms and it doesn't work. I get some e:signature verification error. What would be the best way to load this rom. I am new to all of this and would love to learn more. However even in the tutorials I run across acronyms I don't know. Could someone please give me the easiest way to load this rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA
Two things:
1. If you're having trouble with acronyms, take a look at the "XDA Terms and Acronyms" post. That should help you out.
2. To get around the 3e signature issue, your best bet would be to flash a Froyo kernel with ClockworkMod recovery already included via Odin or Heimdall. I would suggest Onix, as it's a good kernel and I know it works with Firefly from previous experience.
thanks
thanks for the help. it is certainly appreciated. i just flashed the odin kernal. does it matter that the phone is currently running stock gb? also how long does it take to load? i like literally just did it at 10:14pm on wednesday june 20, 2012.
Well I flashed a stock kernal with cwm already inside and was then able to download firefly and flash it. I really like it. Ultra smooth. Much faster than stock gb. Thanks to all who responded. Thanks to all the guys at xda. Y'alls work is great. Too bad they haven't tried updating firefly to gb. I think it'd be great.

Team Phoenix aka The Collective aka The Family did come out with a great GB ROM called Mosaic. While Mosaic is themed blue, it does have a flashable Firefly theme here if you're partial to that.
They also came out with an ICS ROM, Fusion. Unfortunately it doesn't have a Firefly theme but it does have a green theme that looks pretty good as well.
It is important to note that the Firefly ROM is the only one that has call recording. It was never implemented in any of the more recent ROMs. Hopefully this helps.
I like firwfly in that it is quicker than the stock gb and it supports call recording. I needed it at the request of my attorney to record all calls with my sons mom. Id like to get back to a gb based rom that supports call recording. I don't want to try a ics rom until its more stable and safer. Don't want to render my phone useless.

di11igaf's Rom on 2.2.1 also had call-recording. LOVED this rom!!!
Does anyone know why this feature is left out of all recent and current Roms? Currently on an ICS Rom now, and the only thing that I really miss is the call-recording. There is a post about this issue for the SGS II on 2.3.5 & Mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482721.
