Gaosp

dryhte · March 17th, 2010, 06:23 AM

Hi folks,

Is there anyone who has their I7500 flashed with GAOSP instead of an original firmware (for day to day use), and if so, what's your experience?

I'm probably not the only one who's fed up waiting for Samsung to do a proper release of 2.X, I'd much rather have a community backed, 100% stock android system... (I don't really see the point of mods that install other homescreen software, loads of programs I'll never use, while I just want the bugs in stock android 1.5 fixed or an upgrade to 2.1)

unchai · March 17th, 2010, 08:57 AM

tried, GAOSP 2.1 is good, I just wait the CAM app is includes in Further BETA.
some minor bugs not affecting me, I didn't encounter a serious battery drain when I was using GAOSP Beta 7, but the battery life is shorter than IL3 (1.5) or JB2 (1.6).

Performance so far was ok, you need to understand i7500 is running with 528MHz CPU + 192MB ram only.

You can upgrade to JB2 or IL3 if you don't want a beta.

gaosp is nice in the things that work.

3d, videos, camera, bt, secured apps on the market don't work.

Mordred · March 17th, 2010, 05:40 PM

Can anyone compare applications loading speed between 1.5/1.6 and GAOSP?

Since I've flashed to JB2 (now JC4), I got big lag when starting Handcent or any other app,...I can wait every app, but not for SMS

Andronix · March 18th, 2010, 02:12 AM

didn't notice that on gaosp.

Broomfundel · March 18th, 2010, 05:41 AM

Mordred,

Sorry to say I had the same thing. Wipe / Factory reset from the recovery menu resolved it. Obviously that then means you have to restore all your settings again. God Bless Titanium Backup.

It is worth it, as JC4 is noticably faster than any 1.5 / glaxo / Jb2 etc.. that I have tried.

Mordred · March 18th, 2010, 06:31 AM

I applied wipe before and after updated from H8 to JB2, but from JB2 to JC4 only update PDA...I'll try wipe later today...

I can also spell. which makes me 2-0 with you.

Seriously, give the man time. It will be out when it's out, and a link will be posted both on the gaosp site and in this website.

i just ugrade my phone with public beta of gaosp.it's great...

Thank you Drakaz

voulis · March 28th, 2010, 12:26 PM

I installed 2.1 before and have certain observations: 1. kamera does not work. 2.the reproduction video does not have picture only that sound. 3 I could not syghronise the telephone with google, it gave continuity fault.4 I could not charge the applications google according to the directives gaosp (possibly I am to blaim also i for this). At other I liked a lot and I want to say one I thank in the gaosp for effort that makes also the time that it dedicates for this.I wait for the next publication him to try.
thanks gaosp

FadeFx · March 28th, 2010, 01:26 PM

@voulis

this is all knowen missing parts in the public BETA, except the google sync wich seems to be caused by not restoring google apps correctly which is for sure you are to blame for... ;-)

dryhte · March 29th, 2010, 03:18 AM

Is google sync safe? I mean, If I sync with my google account on gaosp, will I still be able to return to another firmware (say, jc2) and sync? (there were rumors earlier on that you should create a new google account)

he reason for that is because of the market and not because of the synch
the market caches info on your phone kernal version and doesnt seem to drop it so when you return back to 1.5 you cannot see all the 1.5 stuff

Broomfundel · March 29th, 2010, 07:27 AM

I have not tried the beta because of this, but does anyone know if it happens going from 2.1 back to 1.6 (Instead of 1.5)

Thanks

cryingfreeman · March 29th, 2010, 10:44 AM

benner · April 5th, 2010, 10:46 PM

I can see from their page how much work has been done on this project so far. It looks like a monumental effort from where I stand. The list of remaining stuff looks short and I guess the project is waiting for the source to be released to take the next steps, right? So let's say that the code is released tomorrow, is it still a huge task to finish things off (ie camera, 3D) or will things happen pretty quickly? The reason I ask is that my phone is currently running so slooowwwly that it is driving me nuts. (newest 1.6 release) I am trying to decide whether to reset and/or install the newest Galaxo or just wait a bit. I read somewhere here that the sources ought to be released the first week of April (if that actually happens) but I don't know if that means weeks or months for us.

informale · April 12th, 2010, 06:01 PM

Installed today (couldn't wait any more

).

It's usable, if you disable animations. And don't try restoring ANY system settings from 1.5 or 1.6 firmware. I tried restoring WiFi password - ended up reinstalling the whole fw, as wifi declined any attempts to even scan and just shut down

Rolled back to Galaxo 1.6.2.

Had some weird issue with flickering screen.

stephnd · April 12th, 2010, 11:11 PM

so to install this GOASP beta 2.1 I can use ODIN? and then if I wanna switch back to 1.6 ODIN flash again? right?

Err, these two comments don't play well together. But really, all that I'd be interested in restoring would be my SMS history (everything else is just settings that can be set up again).

Can you save & restore your SMS messages after upgrading from 1.5? If so, how?

dryhte · April 13th, 2010, 03:57 AM

I use SMS Backup & Restore SMS Backup & Restore - Android Stuff so if that's available on GAOSP it should be a piece of cake to get your sms history back

KlaymenDK · April 13th, 2010, 04:30 AM

Great news, thanks. However, I seem to recall there was an update to the internal format that the messages are stored in?

Sorry, don't know about that (I didn't have the guts to try GAOSP yet)

Me neither!

But, reading up on that backup app, it says that the messages are stored in xml; I'm pretty sure that means that they are converted.

someone correct me if i'm wrong (because i really aren't sure), but afaik, while mustymod is done exactly like any other firmware update (via odin), installing gaosp is a little more involved than that

Mustymod is flashed with Odin.

GAOSP is flashed exactly (mostly) like Galaxo.

It is done from Drakaz's Recovery, but with slight differences, which you can find out if you go and read the instructions. I'm not going to retell them - what's' the point.

obviously no point; and obviously i wasn't suggesting you should, but was referring to the oxymoronic (and hence funny) use of the words exactly and mostly

dryhte · April 23rd, 2010, 11:16 AM

I hope we'll see some progress on last couple serious issues (edit: camera, bluetooth, 3d, performance) now that the 2.6.29 kernel source has been released.

Does anyone know how active development is? Nothing much changes on the official website, to say the truth...

MichaelW · April 23rd, 2010, 11:27 AM

Well Drakaz' last tweet was "two new branch on git : gaosp-2.6.29 and galaxo-2.6.29. Still working on !"

I would hope we get a GAOSP beta2 to test next week

dryhte · April 23rd, 2010, 01:41 PM

So do I...

Not really interested in galaxo but gaosp might be where it's at...

KhaaL · April 24th, 2010, 12:56 AM

Thats great, i thought GAOSP was going to be dead.

mrqs · May 10th, 2010, 05:53 AM

does gaosp have the 710oc option like galaxo? what about swap and/or compache?

MichaelW · May 10th, 2010, 06:20 AM

Not yet. The last version of GAOSP was before we got the sources for 1.6 so couldn't do any of those things.

Development seems to have stalled, Drakaz was really the only person developing it and he seems busy doing other things. I hope he'll get back to it soon.

stephnd · June 1st, 2010, 09:07 AM

I really like GAOSP... its awesome. but my phone gets all black suddenly.. can't unlock or anything. have to pull out the battery. :/
