And you think that is suitable behaviour?

Consider it a warning not to go about demanding releases from developers.

RyanZA put a lot of work into this - why should he have to update NOW for YOU of all people, just as you ask in a rude manner?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] awesome-member:
i am NOT demanding any thing here.i am simply curious as to if RYANZA is still working on it(like many of us here).looking at this thread been idle for a while,i thought 'bumping' would get this thread would get the attention(more devs?) it deserves. i never wanted my 'bumping' to come out as a rude gesture, if it has i am sorry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
I wonder if it was just a proof of concept. I guess if anyone wants to pick up where he left off, they can. Nothing is stopping them. He already informed us it's completely AOSP and what he had to change to get the radio working. He also tried a few things to get audio to work, and it's all here on this thread. I believe that's as far as he got, as of his last post.

If anyone wants to take it further, the source code for AOSP is available from Google.

Samsung sent these phones out to the cm team from the first galaxy s series. They are working now to get cm7 on here. But they have several projects still going on, on the first sgs lineup. But they are in the background working I believe ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
right, we're working on hidden repos until everything is fixed. then we'll push out nightlies and release sources.

for now it's only sound which is left. ;-)

but this will take some time. so be patient and don't ask anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
That's excellent news! Thanks for the update. Hopefully everything learned on CM7 will transfer to this AOSP build of Gingerbread.

PS: thanks for working on the first sgs as well. I have the Vibrant, so I am double stoked. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RyanZA:
Hey -- yeah, still working on it. It's pretty useless without audio though!

Me and the CM guys are trying to get the audio working (they're closer than I am, but we share what that we find (which isn't that much other than it's harder than we thought it should be :D )).

The sound issue really does seem pretty nasty as configuring ALSA is very difficult. As I understand it, for most audio devices either the hardware manuf makes the config, or the ALSA devs themselves do - it either requires a lot of reverse engineering or a lot of detail into how the audio hardware works. Basically the hardware provides alsa with a ton (hundreds) of mixers which need to be mapped correctly, etc.

I personally just don't know much about linux audio (and from what I've looked at, it really just isn't very pretty - no wonder there are so many 'audio solutions' like pulse audio floating around... :D ) so I don't really feel that I'm making much progress. On the bright side though, it does sound like the CM guys are making good progress with it, so hopefully them or someone else (or me if I get a lot smarter one of these days) will figure out how to do it.

TLDR: ALSA is hard, anybody got any info? ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RyanZA:
I'm sure you'll have it sorted in no time!

You're right about the patient thing - people seem to like jumping up and down as if shouting will help heavy technical challenges be fixed faster. ;)

Specially when you consider that a team of engineers at Samsung and Yamaha earning top rates probably spent a big chunk of time getting ALSA working on the SGS2/Linux themselves - obviously a volunteer community team must have it done in a week! ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vorcigernix:
you can use vendor here: https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_device_samsung_galaxys2

but it is exactly as they said, sound not working (and you need to hack init script)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vorcigernix:
Well, what I don't understand is samsung take on this. They sent free sgs2 to hacksung team, so it will make sense to send proper info on how they got that working. It should work with correct kernel and binaries imho, it is a linux after all (correct poor me if I am wrong, but this way it worked on Hero) .
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
This is outdated and not very usefull. Our real repos are private and hidden.

And no, using binarys is no solution for sound. Everywhere hooks, welcome to touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vorcigernix:
Sounds like welcome to the hell :) Hm..patience is not high on list of my advantages, but I don't have knowledge to help :-/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blickmanic:
any updates guys?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
A completely stock AOSP ROM is a great idea. I wonder why no one made them for other devices. I mean CM is ported to a lot of devices. Why not a completely AOSP ROM?

I wish I have the time to learn this stuff. I would like an AOSP ROM for my SGS Vibrant. It's my play phone. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
AOSP needs a lot of work to make everything working. Most of the stuff is already done on CM. Why doing it again? It's a waste of time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] copponex:
I might be wrong, but i remember once a guy tolled me that MIUI is builded opun aosp, so if we want the Original MIUI team to support SGS II we need an aosp build.

This was what i've been tolled, so I could be wrong :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pume:
I believe MIUI is based on Cyanogenmod which again is an AOSP enhanced.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
That's interesting. Does this mean a complete AOSP ROM could be possible by taking a completed CM7 and just stripping off the features?

I know some will say "why bother", but it would be nice to have a Google Experience like the Nexus on a device like the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kawa636r:
why this port was interrupted?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Because especially the audio drivers aren't opensource so they have to reverse engineering it. And that is really difficult.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
Hopefully the OP can learn from what the CM7 team has done to get their audio working for this AOSP ROM.

I'm still very excited to use a Nexus-like AOSP ROM on a device like the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DiamondGar:
install standard launcher on CM7 and it will be very similar to standard nexus, except extra options in settings etc.

CM doesnt really change the look or feel of the rom, i dont really see why you would really want true ASOP over CM. However, once CM is released it will probably be possible for someone to use their work to create something more stripped down, i just dont really see the need.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] EleCtrOx666:
Easier and faster port of next AOSP version? Seems to be a good reason to me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
There really isn't any need for ANY of these ROMs, really. It's just cool to say "this ROM is completely AOSP, and is what Google would have on their Nexus phones".

That's all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
Yeah... as well as when Linux was born... with only text command line and no hardware compatible (and that was for years)... who needed it.... maybe it's personal choices? Or to give choices and then freedom.to users? Maybe he wanted to try himself he was able to do it? Liking a challenge no one else would dare to accept by himself? Hours of personal amusement coding and solving problems? Dunno... but there's no really need for ANY of these ROMS :(

Think if Linus Thorvald met someone like you developing his first kernel...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naddie:
Well, you can think of a fully functioning AOSP ROM as a base for others to build upon instead of building upon a ROM that already had another author or team's interpretation and ideas.

Right now we have a lot of TW-based ROMs because that is what is available as a jumping base. MIUI is a huge modification, but it's based off CM7.

CM7 is AOSP, but with a lot of features added (very nice features that a lot of people want, of course). But I guess a working plain AOSP ROM would be akin to a blank canvas.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ffosilva:
Hi! I'm trying to reproduce this compilation but no success. It stucks with a lot of libs errors. Any idea? I'm using a little modified device configuration from android_device_samsung_galaxys2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
AOSP doesn't support a second sdcard, 1080p, fmradio, tvout and so on. You will end up redoing the work which is already done on CM. Call it "a waste of time".

Work together and focus on one big thing to make it awesome.

There are 10000000 Linux distributions because every stupid dev wants to cook his own soup. But most of the soups doesn't taste good.

I'm currently experiencing a very annoying problem with the gallery. When I press on Gallery, it takes a very long time before it loads the pictures. Same deal after taking a picture, if I want to view it, it takes me to a black screen, but if I wait for like 5 minutes, I can view all the pictures on my Camera folder. This is very annoying. Where in the SD am I supposed to place my pictures?

- faster

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hellboyborn:
Yes very true use QuickPic. Much better than stock.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steve austin:
ok, none of the answers listed above worked for me. nothing against the posters. I was having the same problem with my hd2 running android. I just read an article and it said to create a ".nomedia" file (in notepad on your pc) and transfer it into the folder you don't want shown. NOTE: if you do a search for ".nomedia" there might be one already created in another file. You can cut and paste it if you don't feel like making one).

My gallery ALWAYS crashed when I tried to add .gifs to an mms. I would be able to scroll once and then the gallery would get stuck and force close. Since I added the .nomedia file to the .thumbnails file in dcim (where there were 2,550 thumbnails) I can at least scroll through the full gallery WITHOUT a gallery force close. Again, it is not perfect or extremely fast, but it is now functional. Hope this helps someone else.

[Omnia 7 General] s7yler:
Hi

I would like to know if it would be possible to change the sensitivity of the touch buttons somehow and the power of the vibration when touched?

Maybe via a registry hack? or a custom tool? or via a code in the diagnostic menu?

The problem is that my touchbuttons, back and the search (bing) are less responsive and when I press the phone vibrates only very little. I have tried another Omnia 7 (demo) in a shop, and its sensitivity/vibration of the buttons where much stronger.

I know mine also can vibrate stronger, because it does in the diagnostic menu when I test the vibration.

I know this is probably ancient news for most people but I just found out I can watch all the movies I want on Amazon for free. You have to have a Amazon prime account though. Just as good as netflix I think.

No charge? In any ways?
[Xoom General] ericman77:
No charge if you have Amazon prime accoun which is 79$ a year.
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
Cheaper than netflix.
[Xoom General] Daps:
What kind of movies does Amazon have?

$80 year and can watch as much as you want?

[Xoom General] okantomi:
Do you knowif it works with a rooted Xoom? Google rentals don't seem to work (drm issue?).
[Xoom General] ericman77:
youd probably want tocheck out the movies they have. So far the ones I've seen are alot like what they have on Netflix. They have a lot. And the $80 also gets you 2 day shipping free and next day for $4 when you buy stuff . that's the best thing about prime because I'm always ordering things from Amazon and don't like waiting a week to get it. As far as rooted xooms it should work because its just streaming the movie. The video quality is pretty good I was watching a HD Yellowstone movie that looked awesome.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Netflix is cool though, like the original. I don't think its cool when big company's come in and because they have more sources to draw from and offer a catch like cheaper shipping. Netflix is trying too, scoring Mirimax recently.

Not that the deal on amazon is bad, its just a shame.
[Xoom General] ericman77:
yeah I love Netflix. Have it on 4 devices works grate on my my Samsung vibrant. I just thought I'd let people know there is a way to watch movies on there xoom if there not going to make Netflix for xoom.

Searching the marketplace for Groupon just returns the Groupon Merchants app but not the consumer app. When I go to market.android.com and try to install it tells me to "choose device on which to install". But then it says "Tablet" and "This item is not compatable with your device".

So does anyone have the .apk file I can just download, or any ideas on how to grab it from the marketplace? I've applied the standard market fix, but Groupon still doesn't show up.

Dear G TAB Forum:

I have only had my G TAB for 1 month and so far everything works well. However, As I continue to download Android Apps, I am getting a little paranoid that the G TAB has no Virus Protection Software installed on it? First question...is Virus Protection needed? and second, what are the best Android Virus Scan downloads available? Thank you for the feedback.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Can't sure for sure which is the best in regards to actual protection, features & system resources footprint, but I will say that having it is better then not.

My main issue with the current anti-virus apps for android is that they only scan after an app has been installed which IMHO makes no sense at all. Shouldn't an anti-virus app catch a virus before or during a download or at the very minimum scan the install file prior to being installed?

The one I currently use is LookOut which seems to be quite popular, however it still has the flaw as those I mentioned above.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
The biggest problem I see is most anti-virus software on the market is for phones, or tablets that have a phone number (aka 3G). Lookout Mobile Security would freak out because the gtab doesn't have IMEI associated with it. There was one I was using that the free version didn't care about IMEI until it got an update (sorry I don't remember which app it was). Now I'm using NetQin Anti-virus Free for the moment.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baedamichi:
Hi guys,

I've searched this forum and haven't found an answer to my question, so I'm gonna post it here. :) (Hopefully I did the search right and didn't commit the felony of a double post. :D)

I'm planning on buying a new phone, mainly because my old HTC Charmer (WM 6.1) doesn't support SDHC cards and the maximum of 4GB of the cards I can use with it is just not enough any more.

So far, I've read quite some disappointing details about Windows Phone 7:

- No more "free" apps (by which I mean apps programmed by someone and offered somewhere, now it's the same sh** as with an iPhone or an Android phone)

- No direct USB-sync, which means you have to send your private information to the cloud in order to sync

- No "real" support for SD-Cards (and getting more storage space is the whole da** point here, otherwise I'm quite happy with my Charmer)

So, basically I thought about getting a second hand HTC Touch Pro II running WM 6.5 AND supporting NORMAL SDHC cards (meaning ALL cards which comply with the standard, not just the ones "certified by Microsoft").

But there might be one killer feature which could make me, well, not really forget, but maybe turn a blind eye to WP7's SHAMEFUL flaws: The new Microsoft Office Mobile. Often, I have some Excel spreadsheets which I need for work at different places. This is the only reason I have to take a laptop computer with me, apart from that my phone would be fine.

Office Mobile in WM 6.1 (or 6.5) couldn't display / make use of all the features the Desktop-Version offered (like extremely complicated formulae or spreadsheets and of course macros), and, moreover, after having worked on and saved an Office document on a phone, the features would even have been removed from the file in the conversion process, so the file was useless on the desktop as well.

Thus, I'm asking the following questions (which surprisingly haven't been answered on the net so far, or am I just too stupid to google it right?):

- Is the Office in WM 7 fully functional, meaning you can work on Excel sheets with the most complicated formulae and macros, or, asked more simple, can you do everything you can do with the Desktop version on your phone as well?

- If it doesn't offer everything the desktop versions offers, does it at least keep everything that was there in the original file after you change and save it on your phone? I mean, even if I can't use macros on the Windows Phone, it might still be helpful to open an .xls file on the phone, make a few changes (which don't require macros), save the file on the phone and after putting it back on a desktop computer having the file "unharmed" (meaning except for the small change I made on the phone everything else is as it was)?

Hopefully, I made my point clear enough, if not, I'm happy to answer questions on what it is exactly that I want to know. I think many users here already having a Windows phone will have tried working on Office documents on their phones and I hope those will share their experiences with me.

Many thanks for reading my post :) and even more thanks for answering. :D
