ok guys, time for tweaking the mem thing again. may be u have wondered about why there is no FIMC0/FIMC1/FIMC2 etc in the default config for 2.3.3 (me at least)... so, as usual, i started to take a look at this

for those who have no idea where to change the reserved memory settings, take a look at arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c and you will be delighted to get them back, plus some interesting things

the default settings for movies play back for general I9000 is:
S5PV210_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_MFC0 (35840 * SZ_1K)
S5PV210_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_MFC1 (35840 * SZ_1K)

while, for NTT, the settings for "1080p support" is:
S5PV210_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_MFC0 (36864 * SZ_1K)
S5PV210_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_MFC1 (36864 * SZ_1K)

u'll find also what we used to tune in froyo like:
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_FIMC0
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_FIMC1
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_FIMC2
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_JPEG
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_PMEM
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_GPU1
VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_ADSP


i've conducted a few tests with the min values for 1080p support but up to now, i do have the answer yet, nor the max available mem in Gingerbread this time. however, i can show you some of the rough values required for 1080p playback:


NOTE THAT THESE VALUES ARE NOT YET OPTIMIZED

MFC0: 36864
MFC1: 36864
FIMC0: 12288
FIMC1: 9900
FIMC2: 12288

flashed I9000XWJVB a few days ago and just ran a quadrant, cpu scored 5508. what?? 5508?? 4.x times of froyo's?





personally, i treat it as an incorrect result. i always believe it is obtained by misinterpreting the individual results so that the base number is much smaller, and thus produce a larger number and yield a higher marks. i don think my device runs a lot faster than before (talking about the cpu performance), and definitely no chance for a 4.x performance

in my opinion, it becomes meaningless to read or compare the cpu's result calculated by it anymore

it is reported that Gingerbread upgrade has been pulled by Google. the mentioned rom, I9000XXJVK, which was available in UK via Kies, was pulled off

below is an extract from the message posted by an administrator from Vodafone:

Due to an issue with the Gingerbread update for the Samsung Galaxy S, its roll out has been temporarily suspended by Google... we are working with Samsung to reinstate the roll out as soon as possible...




on the other hand however, some people claimed that it was due to a call delay bug on incoming and outgoing calls in 2.3.3
