It's better to start/clone from pure CM 2.6.37 kernel, then add new commits when adding any new functions.

Would you please add a new commit when adding a new function?

Otherwise, it's very easy to lost the way in the source code.

A commit "Update some board files" doesn't tell the whole story. I want to know why to change.

Comparing the source code manually and guessing its function is not convenient for any kernel devs.

For me, I won't add any code in my 2.6.32 kernel until I know the meaning of the changes of the source code.

Thanks.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Blubster:
I may be wrong, but this thread is not supposed to become a bug fix request thread. It is aimed at developpers, so that they collaborate on a merging of HD2 specific stuff onto a cyanogen 2.6.37 kernel...

This would most likely result in the resolution of a lot of our issues, but in the mean time, [DEV] in the thread title means it is for devs only......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Keep this thread clean please.. there are only a select few devs who actually work on kernels around here. Let them use this as a way of communication to generate a complete kernel, then we can test it for bugs.

Very excited about the prospects of this, if you guys get a working kernel with all the new commits shoot it over and I'll test it out on one of my HD2's.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dan1j3l:
I looked pushed code and it's ok, at least for first few commits. But it needs some deep cleaning an optimization, also there is some bravo naming convention used in leo specific files. You should put this tree on gitorious so we can do more work on it, but anyway i will clone tree and do some cleaning and porting new stuff.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] giorgio130:
This could be of interest, and not too much off-topic.

This kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966786

is being abandoned and it had some patches for performance that I think are valuable. It had linpack scores that can be achieved only with heavy overclocks on other kernels... The problem is, the source is being distributed by a .zip, no commits, nothing... the only way to get those would be to issue a diff with... something :P and guess where they are. Staying on topic, I've already adapted cm-kernel for another device so I think I'll be able to help when I get enough free time to spare.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
Yes you are right. Unfortunately many threads like this one get's filled with off topic chatter, complaints etc. I will try to keep my eye on this thread so the dev's can communicate. If your not contributing to the DEV work on the HD2 kernel's, please don't post your wishes and thanks post as this will quickly clog up the thread. I'd hate to lose progress due to this. That's why many DEV's end up not using XDA and reverting to IRC only. Thanks

[Captivate General] kxb:
Hi all -

AT&T just replaced my captivate, under warranty. (Yay - it was bricked, so wasn't expecting much.) All they sent was the phone body - no back cover, no battery, no SIM. So I've still got my original battery.

Interesting thing is that the battery life seems significantly better on the new one. I had 2.1, and at one point, a version of Phoenix ROM on the old one, and made it about 36 hrs max on a charge. This one seems on track to go 3 days, with Wifi and GPS turned on.

So, is Samsung's version of 2.2 that much more efficient, or did I end up with some upgraded chips inside? Any thoughts?

Original was REV0.4. New one says 10.12 in same location on sticker under battery (I assume 10.12 = manufactured in Dec 2010).
[Captivate General] clocke:
I dont know about that, but I know that my refurb has better sound output through the headphones and the gps locks in ten seconds without any bandaids. First phone was a day 1 captivate.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Highly doubt that the battery life is that much better. Its pretty much the same phone just with a different build date. It is all perception in my opinion with the possibility of better battery stats
[Captivate General] kxb:
2 days and counting since last plugged in, with GPS and Wifi on. Battery only half empty.

On the old one, with GPS and Wifi off, I rarely if ever made it two days on a full charge.

Definitely not just perception - something is different. Could be the 2.2 build vs 2.1, instead of the hardware.

I also get much faster GPS lock. 10-20s vs 3-5m. Yay, me.
[Captivate General] studacris:
I believe we have a winner ...
[Captivate General] tigersunlimited:
I found the stock 2.2 has MUCH BETTER battery life than any other version/ROM that I have ever tried so far.

I flash the Rogers 2.2 stock ROM and I can run the phone 24 hours with ~30% battery left. I use K9 mail and receive 30 - 50 emails a day and poll every 5 mins. No WiFi, all 3G data access. The Rogers stock ROM use JL1 modem.

For comparison, I'm on FireFly 3.0 right now and the phone is dead after 12 hours. JK4 modem is used here and WCDMA 850 is enabled.

I can't see what triggers the battery life, but so far I've gone back to the Rogers 2.2. stock ROM twice because it has unbeatable battery life, albeit how much it sucks feature-wise.
[Xperia Arc General] hargibi:
Hi.

I'm use runkeeper pro to track my walks and such, but with the arc it does not seem to stay on and continue tracking when I turn the screen off.

Are there any program or setting I can change to make the gps on while the screen is off?
[Xperia Arc General] bobbanj:
Id like to know too!
[Xperia Arc General] Ptvinh:
I don't have problem when screen off, it must be you task killer keep the gps shut dow.
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
I have used RunKeeper with my arc for a few times now. Everything works smoothly.

One thing I did notice is maybe the accuracy of the GPS. The reason why I say that is because I have been running 1.5mi daily through the exact same route for almost 3 months. Before I was using the X10 which shows 1.55mi (+/- 0.01mi) every time I finish running. But after I started using the arc, it shows 1.66mi (+/- 0.01mi). Not sure if arc is more accurate or X10.
[Xperia Arc General] hargibi:
Anyone got any ideas for my problems? runkeeper and other programs just updates my location when i turn on the screen...
[Xperia Arc General] istyle1129:
Have you tried reseting your phone?
[Xperia Arc General] hargibi:
Tried both factory reset and just a normal restart b4 running the program yeah =/
[Xperia Arc General] SKIBBE:
Using Sporty Pal Pro, no issues when the screen is off.

and just a thougt my x10 had a-gps, does the ARC have that? can't find any choice for that.

I have a non activated G1 with cyanogen 6. I would like to use it as a wireless mp3 player for my stereo system. My ideal set up is, control music from my PC. Send it to my phone via wifi and output to my stereo from my phone. Winamp seems like it can only wirelessly synch music to my phone and other software will play music from my computer, but when I press the play button, i want to do it from my PC and the music plays on the G1. Does anyone know of an app for this?

I'm currently using racht's 2.3.3 rom but due to stability and battery draining issues I want to try miniCM 2.2.1 since I've read only good reviews.

Anyway, is there a way to directly go back to 2.2.1 (via xRecovery / Advanced Restore / system restore ) without losing my data (ie sms, phonebook).

Thanx in advance

[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
Titanium backup is the answer :)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:

You have to do factory reset, so Titanium backup.

Go to second tab, click phone's button left one, select batch and then run the option you like.

Don't buck up system data, you may brick your phone on restore.

I was just wondering, has anyone done anything like running Debian in a chroot jail on their Fascinate? Since I wasn't around for the early days of Android I'm not sure whether this is still possible or why it's not being actively pursued as much anymore (haven't done much research on it). Especially now that Android tablets are coming out and tablets and phones with video out are common (hopefully the Fascinate in the future? gogo SirGatez et al) I'd really love to be able to use my phone or perhaps future tablet as a thin client for getting work done. If I was a real terminal ninja I'd be fine with something like screen over connectbot but I'd really love to have Debian and/or X11 on my phone.

What are people's thoughts on this?

Edit: I might try out https://code.google.com/p/android-cruft/wiki/LucidWithAndroid on my Fascinate, see how it goes. This isn't terribly useful for the Fascinate due to the smallish screen (relative to a PC) but if this works it would be handy, and would sway me towards purchasing an Android tablet during the summer with income from a summer job (as opposed to a netbook).

Hi Guys,

I often use default wm Notes program in my htc.

Recently i thought about creating a simple and pretty program with htc manila style, instead of boring wm notes.

Personally, I can't create such a program, because I don't know the programming language :P

However, I made several assumptions that I should comply..

*very simple -just basic funkcions: add, view, edit and delete notes

*Fast loading during startup (in my opinion the most important)

see attachment

So if someone can create that app or something like that it will be great

P.S.

I made some graphics which can be useful and

if anyone would be interested in the "project" I can send psd file

write any ideas and attentions ..whatever you want :P

[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
I currently have a HTC Desire which I have had since it first come out and am in line for a new handset... I always get mine sim free or pay as you go.

Been looking a lot a lately of the Optimus 2x or Galaxy S2 in regards to gaming. Now, I know there are threads about both GPU's but.... which one is more powerful and will be best "future proofed"?.

Heard a lot of things on both handset forums saying that Tegra 2 is a year old, has 8 cores and the Galazy S2 is newer and only 4 cores.

So, as a potential buyer of either handset... am looking at the best gaming platform based on games.

At the moment, its a hard choice because I want to purchase the best fone I can at the moment...

Any thoughts on which platform will be better?, or.... get the support from developers?. At the moment NVIDIA have got the marketing right imho, but could the Galazy S2 overtake that and make "it" the most optimized platform for games on a Android device?.

A lot of questions, which I am unsure of the answers?.

Any thoughts?.
[LG Optimus 2x] siggehandf:
While i can't tell you which is the future proof, i think its worth remembering that nvidia is very old school in gaming and i am sure they are doing what they can to promote tegra as the ultimate mobile gaming platform and i am sure they know a few in the business.
[LG Optimus 2x] iceman92:
Can non tegra phone play tegra games ?
[LG Optimus 2x] MoFosis:
@iceman92

Yes.

But still i'd say tegra is more furute-proof cause the developers will focus on the more mainstream processor which will be tegra... only a suggestion.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nitroz:
With the future-proof part, I would say Tegra is the best to go with. Nvidia have alot of plans for releasing smartphone CPU's in the future, I mean, they are due to release a quad core CPU this summer. I've had my O2x for about 2 weeks now and I've had no problems gaming with it, smooth as silk. As long as you use Launcher Pro then you're fine :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
The Mali-400 in the SGS2 SoC is older than the Geforce ULP in the Tegra 2 I believe but the Mali should outperform Tegra 2 on paper. Currently, gaming on "superphones" is still murky. You have different approaches to how you make (e.g. Adreno and PowerVR parts are "tile-based") the chips work. Therefore some games will play better on some chips because they are optimized for a certain kind of graphics design which is good on certain kinds of GPU hardware.

So here's what you do. Focus on good "Families" of GPU. First we have Adreno found in Qualcomm Chips (Adreno 220 in the HTC Sensation slaps Geforce ULP hard). The Adreno 200 is in the Nexus One and several Android phones. It's a well known and widely used GPU in Android.

Next you have PowerVR by Imagination, a very proven family. The PowerVR SGX540 is found in the Nexus S and the Galaxy S i9000 class of phones (Very popular phone). So expect a lot of marketshare in that. PowerVR is also used in iPhones and iPads. So expect some advantages when an iPhone released game reaches an Android platform.

Next you have Geforce ULP in the Tegra 2 by NVidia. Geforce ULP has not had much time to shine HOWEVER Tegra Zone has demonstrated NVidia has been encouraging developers on the platform. NVidia has a good history with developer support on their desktop chips and it is quite evident that they are doing the same with their smartphones. However, Tegra 2 is only in two (three if you count g2x as separate from o2x) smartphones in the market so far.

From what I can see so far, the Adreno, PowerVR, and Geforce ULP are very relevant in the future of mobile gaming and will be for a long time. There's no chance in hell you can futureproof with any phone you buy now. On average, smartphone GPU performance appears to be breaking Moore's Law and is becoming well over 2x the performance year over year with no sign of slowing down. What you want is something that's on the market which you will be satisfied with now. That's all you can count on.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
Thanks guys.. in the end i went for the 2X as i paid £278 for the handset with a trade in for my desire.

Am very happy with the fone at the moment but having a issue with the free Shrek Kart voucher as it seems the voucher may have been used with someone else, not too worry.

Haven't had chance with gaming on it but just hope that we get games that are optimised for tegra 2, rather than ports from another more powerful GPU?!.

Hey guys, I have been trying to cook up a rom for the past few days but this morning I hit a roadblock :eek: ..... Anyways, my problem is with the updater script. Everything is fine till here:

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/flashkernel.sh");
ui_print("Flashing Modem");
run_program("/tmp/flashmodem.sh");
ui_print("Modem Flashed");
ui_print("Flashing Kernel");
run_program("/tmp/flashkernel.sh");

I want to run a shell script to flash a modem and a kernel. This is kinda important because I want to include multiple modem(s)/kernels with my rom and flash them based on user's choice / phone (captive/I9000) (Somewhat like Darky's roms :D ).

When the script reaches the part where I call then next script (flashmodem.sh/flashkernel.sh). It just doesn't run it. It zips past the shell script. :(

Here is my kernel script:

[COLOR="Red"]echo "Kernel Flash Reached"[/COLOR]
if [ -e "/sdcard/updates/no-kernel" ]; then
echo "Skipping Kernel Install"
else
if [ -e "/sdcard/updates/captive" ]; then
echo "Flashing I897 xcaliburinhand I9000 reoriented Kernel..."
/tmp/redbend_ua restore /tmp/i897/zImage /dev/block/bml7

/tmp/redbend_ua restore /tmp/i9000/kernel/zImage /dev/block/bml7
echo "Flashed I9000 Chainfire's root kernel"

I don't see anything when the updater reaches this part.. nothing happens it just keeps going.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Here is how you fix your problem (and any problem) on the Vibrant. Make a nandroid back up and backup through titanium. Then copy the whole int sd card with all that data on to the computer.

then: Depending on your problem you can follow this guideline OR--- you can just do the JFD only depends on what your phone is doing to you..........

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin (use 1.7 or higher), plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!

15. Then, root the phone Then> download Rom Manager and then> you can flash your new Rom.

doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work flashing a new rom without problems just like it did right out of the box

good luck

Hey guys,

Just as an update, I used Odin and got everything stock 2.2, then I followed the instructions in a stickied thread to get the "green" version of ClockwordMod on it and have it rooted.

I then installed the Dead Horse Kernel which has been a blessing. I don't know if that MBR error is still going on, but it hasn't caused me any issue.

I suggest everybody who is looking to have rooted stock 2.2 w/ some nice extras go w/ Dead Horse... doing straight up Voodoo Lagfix will just cause you grief if you're not an advanced person.
