Android 2.2 changes in Galaxy S

After a long wait since 15-Oct-2010 got the Android 2.2 Froyo update for Samsung Galaxy S (SGS). Here are some things I found, I liked and I despised.

I FOUND:

1. Pinch on the home screen to go into edit mode.
2. Pinching on the main applications menu, shows all the screen. The animation is too slow/jittery. I have 6 screens. 
3. Long press the 'back key' and press the 'home key' to get a screenshot. They are saved in the screenshot folder in phone memory
4.  To mute the ringtone of an incoming call. Press and hold the down volume key. Earlier just pressing it would work :(

I DESPISE:

1. The new volume bar in the music and video application. 
2. The inability to exit video using back. Maybe thats to enable taking video screenshots
3. NOT all of the fonts and GUI control styles are anti-aliased (clear type).
4. The animation in the gallery is too fast AND jittery
5. The gallery tilt mode doesn't anymore show images out of the window. Is that a on demand show/cache working ? 
6. The email application is  terribly slow.

Android Alchemy hints: Spoiler ALERT!!!

I am documenting all things I unlocked and their formulas. Don't read ahead if you don't want to cheat. But then a look or two wont harm much ....huh;)

[Mac] Web Sharing/Default Apache not working

On Mac OS X (10.5.x and 10.6.x) systems with MacCleanse (1.4.x) if the Archived logs are cleaned the following folder is deleted:

/private/var/log/apache2

This results the "Web Sharing" feature to fail, as Apache Web Server fails to start

To make Apache work again just create that folder again
Steps to create the folder:
1: Open the Terminal (It is in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
2:Type the command:

sudo mkdir /private/var/log/apache2

3: When prompted for password, type your system password

It should start working again. If it doesn't there might be another problem. Check your console logs in "/Applications/Utilities/Console"
