In TorchX10, LED looks invokated like this :

(in FlashDevice.smali, l.9)

.field private static final DEVICE:Ljava/lang/String; = "/sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:fled/brightness"

In CameraSettings.smali (l. 1226) :

invoke-virtual/range {v30 .. v30}, Landroid/hardware/Camera$Parameters;->getSupportedFlashModes()Ljava/util/List;

"/sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:fled/brightness" refers to what we need to reach : that's the "real" LED torch enabler...

I've stated the link in my first post. Problem is the torch won't work in stock app with this fix.

To remove almost all graphics and that ugly border, you can decompile the APK and edit xml/png ;)

Percy,

Cant u code the correct way to route the lantern command in camera.apk?

I cant code at all, but i can help in png and xml editing
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Perceval from Hyrule:
I'm just like you Pedro, I'm not a dev but I can work on xml/png :p

The trouble may not come from camera.apk but from driver.

Logcat returns nothing about zoom or flash, so trouble might come from android.hardware.Camera.Parameters.

I guess Camera.Parameters.getSupportedFlashModes() returns 0, just like Camera.Parameters.isZoomSupported().

Sooooooo my main trouble is to know where the hell is this Camera.Parameters file ! I've reseted a long time ago my Linux so I've no more Android sources.

Can someone tell me where is the file ? For help, it's Landroid/hardware/Camera$Parameters.

My logcat returns this, you should get the same - note there's no flash, and no zoom.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] diimaan:
hi would it be possible to implement the exposure value in the 2.2 camera?

I found it more important than zoom or flash! as we can get good pictures with exposure compensation than with the flash in X10!

In the SemcCamera, the exposure related settings are available in

but I couldn't find any such file in the 2.2 camera! any lights on this please?

Here are original sources for camera.apk, directly coming from latest AOSP :)

It will be easier to find interesting stuff regarding all our needs : exposure, flash, zoom, etc etc.

But do not forget these files need to be compiled :D
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Wanted to know if theirs a way or if somone has already done this.Connect a Monitor, mouse and keyboard to their phones somehow and use phone as a portable pc. would be cool. maybe possible with right drivers? maybe bluetooth mouse/keyboard.
[Thunderbolt General] techspecs:
Not that I've ever heard of... I've heard of people getting various linux distros going but not so much on the using it as a mini pc
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
If you have a PC, use PhoneMyPC. Works perfect and can use multiple PCs.

If you don't have a PC, use "Always On PC."

Edit: Just re-read your post. I don't think there's a way.. I did see a commercial for a phone that plugs into a laptop "dock" though that seemed to be a lot like what you're looking for. Can't remember what its called though.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Linux would be a running as a PC. It is a fully functional OS.

Not you fat Jesus
[Thunderbolt General] techspecs:
I meant to satisfy the OP's desire to use external mouse/keyboard. I haven't seen that, have you?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
It already is a computer (and I would consider it a personal computer with a few limitations such as not having the processing power and harder to port software). You can ssh into it all you want and use any shell you want, though have fun compiling from the source for things or finding precompiled ARM binaries that work on android. There's tutorials out there about how to install ARM linux distros like debian on android as well as x-windows so you can have a pretty GUI desktop, but you will lose the functionality of it being a phone while it's running instead of android os.
[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
If you are want to dock it and make it into like a laptop, i suggest you go for the ATRIX. I believe thats the only phone available in the market.

However the dock is gonna cost you the same if not more than the phone off plan.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
thanks for replies. was just wonderin if i could. had extra monitor, keyboad and mouse laying around and just wanted to know if i could do it just incase somone was on my pc and i needed a quick backup or somthing to mess with. thanks yall.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
atrix is just a hack though. it runs a version of ubuntu stored on the phone dock (not even on the phone itself). At that point you might as well just buy a cheap eepc netbook for 200 or so dollars.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Ah I see what you mean, don't think I have but don't see why it wouldn't be possible if someone really had a desire to try and know how to make it happen.

But have seen Ubuntu run an on screen keyboard on a tablet.

Don't think it would be real user friendly to use keyboard and mouse on such a small screen though

Not you fat Jesus
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I wish it was, but I don't think it is possible. I wanted to turn a LED projector to a a HUD display so I could watch football games on the HUD in my car. Or use it to browse the internet. But for that to happen we would need some kind of mirror display, or so I understand, and given that we don't have hdmi, I don't think it is possible. Maybe our awesome devs can come up with something for us though. (or atleast one could hope.)
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Just a followup, if the OP really wants to, you can dual boot into debian on your phone and run xwindows with a couple various GUIs (such as XDE, which is pretty similar to gnome). After that, you can ssh (via wifi) into it and use a vncserver (over the ssh connection) installed on the phone to remotely connect to xwindows and see it on a monitor. When you want to use your phone as a phone again, you just reboot back into android as you would boot from linux to windows on your pc.

Debian maintains all the packages available for x86 on ARM so you'll find plenty of stuff without having to compile.

For those that don't know ubuntu is basically debian with a few extra packages and generally newer packages. Same filesystem, etc. Debian has been maintaining one of the oldest distributions of linux for ARM so I recommend it for that for the amount of documentation you'll find.

[Thunderbolt General] bunklung:
I think there are two types of approaches to this:

Video Out/HDMI

and

USB Display Adapter

Video Out/HDMI (requires HDMI and CM6/7):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038840

w/ video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbm0JhGVxCA

USB Display Adapter with USB host/OTG support:

http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

w/ video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-bLOc1qnMM

The Thunderbolt does not have HDMI out (nor will it ever) OR USB/OTG mode (yet).

The prospects are daunting. I think CM will get on board with desktop support at some point, but it won't include phones that lack HDMI out.

I think there is a lack of enthusiasm for this type of feature too. Just my opinion. I wish there was more enthusiasm, because I really feel desktop support is the future of smart phones.

I wish Google would dump Chrome OS and push desktop support in the next version of Android and make certain all hardware supports OTG and HDMI simultaneously. GS2 fails in that department since the HDMI port and USB share the same port (MHL).

Hi

My current Jabra Arrow Bluetooth headset doesn't work with the sgs2 voice dialing (Voice Talk). I can fire up Voice Talk from the headset, but the sound/voice from Voice Talk doesn't appear in the headset.

Anyone who can recommend a good Bluetooth Headset for sgs2 that works flawless with Voice Talk?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
I have got SE MW600. I love it. I haven't used the voice talk option as it doesn't support Finnish. But I can try it for you.

How do I fire it up? I heard you should be able to do it by saing hello galaxy but it won't launch. First have to start it? Does it stay in the background after that eating my battery?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kmadsen:
Thanx!

Just hold down the button on your headset, that should fire up Voice Talk!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] travisb:
Good news about the mw600. Mine arrives tomorrow :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] airwater9:
MW600. Stand alone FM radio, long battery life (for bluetooth), v good quality audio, tiny and light, supports track ID, voice calling. Not a great clip or volume adjustment. Overall the best. Buy it, end of.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kmadsen:
Yes, yes, yes: The recommendation of MW600 is overwhelming :D

But, please, spell it for me: Does the MW600 work flawless with Voice Talk? Is it actually possible to hear the voice from Voice Talk in the earplug and can you command the phone (dialing contacts) from the headset without problems?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] scarecrow2012:
Yes it does, you can hear confirmation through the bluetooth headset on the MW600. I bought a Blueant T1 today and it also works with confirmation over bluetooth headset.

The T1 also works by just saying "hey galaxy" not sure about mw600.

Sometimes the T1 says "this feature is not supported on this handset" but you can still call people through voice command. It also gets a bit annoying having to say voice command and waiting for the T1 to say "activating voice commands on the connected headset" then saying call contact.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kmadsen:
Thanx, that was just the answer I was hoping for! Unfortunately I can't get the Blueant T1 here in Denmark, but Ebay might be my friend :)

Voyager Pro+ which is available on amazon is the best bluetooth headset which allows multipoint and a2dp as well. I might have used 13 or 14 headsets and this is the best even for noise cancellation, one word amazing.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] msjfb:
I have had no joy with a Motorola H700 and a BlueParrot VXi Expressway. When initiating a call by pressing the button on the headset the audio/mike used is the one on the phone, and not on the headset.

I cannot believe Samsung still has this problem: a couple of years ago I had an Omnia and only a custom ROM with a different Bluetooth stack solved the problem. My last 2 HTC phones worked flawlessly...

This is an important security issue for me, and if anyone has information on what can be done ( I am new to Android) I would appreciate it. When I call using my VXi my callers can never detect I am on a cellphone:noise cancelling on this unit is outstanding, and I want to continue using it.

But if I find nothing to solve this I will have to go with one of the headsets confirmed to work in the maner they should...

[Galaxy S II Accessories] msjfb:
I have found a workaround to enable Voice Dialing and Digit Dialing from a Bluetooth Headset on my SGS2:

I purchased Cyberon Voice Commander and Titanium backup from the Market.

Titanium backup anables me to <freeze> the vLingo Voice Command so that it disappears from the installed apps, and installing Cyberon enables everyting I want:

- Tapping the button on the headset starts Voice Commander

- Bluetooth headset is connected to Audio and Mic

- I can say: "Call Jim", or "Digit Dial 8045551212", or "What time is it", etc.

The number of available commands is not as numerous as I had under Winmo and Microsoft VoiceCommand, but it suits me for now and the recognition rate is 99.99% with my Vxi Headset.

Be aware that this breaks all VLingo Voice Recognition apps in the phone because <it is no longer there>.

What I would prefer, and will continue searching for, is to have the headset button start Cyberon Voice Commander (since it handles the bluetooth stack correctly), while leaving VLingo active for other applications.

I am sure there is a setting somewhere that controls what application is started when the Headset button is tapped.

Of course none of this would be required if VLingo handled the Bluetooth headset correctly...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kmadsen:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] fergusstrachan:
Seems like the T1 would be superior to the Q2 thanks to the noise reduction; is this right?

I'm convinced enough to buy ONE of the Blueants. :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeandujardin01:
Q2 & T1 are top of the line

T1 is though because it's rugged & have slightly better battery life but it has simple voice commands

remember T1 doesnt come with ear hook so you can't attach it to your ear...

you can get a sweet deal on ebay for the Q2
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fergusstrachan:
Thanks garden jean,

I lost something in translation though... :-)

It seems to me that both come with voice control (is one better than the other?), both have ear hooks (according to Amazon), so the differences are that the Q2 (Edit: sorry, T1) is rugged and the T1 has noise cancellation.

Is that right?

Can anyone say which they think is best from a usability point of view?

The transformers display is better than the Zoom as it uses an IPS panel and has much better viewing angles. The software itself is as demoed, one of the best tools for annotating documents and you should easily be able to fill in PDF forms with your handwriting.

If you are going to use handwritten notes then there are a few available, they are:

Handrite

Tab notes - still under development but trial available. Looks very promising.

With a combination of the above software and a good stylus such as a Boxwave one or one that I've ordered by Wacom called the bamboo stylus which I should be receiving on Monday, you will have the right set of tools to fulfill your requirements.
