Hi all,

My first post in this thread :D

So let me start off with saying THANK YOU for the work you're doing. Really good stuff :D

I'd like to ask the people here abut the status of A2DP. i did a quick search, but the thread being as big as it is... let's say i don't have the time to read all of it.

So, are there any intentions of getting a2dp working in the near future?

In case it is helpful, let me describe a little scenario i've had with my car stereo:

Connected via bluetooth. says a2dp is supported. Now, when playing with PowerAmp: music playing, i can hear nothing from car stereo. Phone listens to commands from car stereo (pause, forward, back, etc). Here's the funny part: if i hold forward button (so fast forward), i can hear the audio from PowerAmp. just while i hold that button :D

Player that comes with the ROM works (audio and commands), though it has the habit of not reacting to car stereo while screen is off !!!

I have no sound whatsoever when in call, and my partner does not hear me... so that doesn't work...

Also, if any of you installed skype, in my case my partner can hear me speaking, but i can not hear him/her.

So maybe there is a problem with the way the audio streams are processed internally, and what goes to what mixer...

Hope the above information is of any use... Hope this part of the ROM gets some attention in the near future, the lack of this functionality caused me to go back to droid 2.2, just so that i could use the phone with my car stereo...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] vivekchamoli:
No its not supported yet, You don't need to check the whole thread , just look @ the 1st post that will show the status of working functionality
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] misha0209:
Did look at the first page. Saw that. That's why i asked: "So, are there any intentions of getting a2dp working in the near future?" :)

So, are there? Or does the team have other priorities right now? - not asking when btw :P

Irony is that play store displays that its incompatible with gti5800. that's why it was invisible when i searched it from the mobie.

How can a simple search app be incompatible. Had it been a 3d game...it could be justified.

Battery draining fast :(

Cool. But the battery isn't lasting a full day. Settings are GSM only+2G data only. Use is very moderate(no wifi r gaming). Any one facing this issue?

Actually the battery is charging very fast,in 30 min 100%, and ofcourse discharging too. Battery life over or some battery sw to be flashed?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] DoR2:
Wipe battery stats from recovery when 100 percent charged. I think this will work
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] MicroGeek:
Turn the phone off, then charge to 100%. Then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. If yoir battery still drains the you need to replace it. Also, a full charge takes approximately 4 hours so be patient

Please, all, be patient.

Alpha5 won't come until sensors are fixed.

Bluetooth is working (running) but not tested (I don't have any other bluetooth device).

CWM still need bugfixing.

FM radio should work but there is still a sound problem. The fmradio app seems to be buggy and could be the cause. I won't spend time on it for now.

Filesystems are now ext4.

Improving Battery Life

I noticed that default installation of this ROM consumes a lot of battery.

After investigating the matter, I found out that battery consumption by 'Display' is not being displayed in Settings -> About phone -> Battery use, but 'Android System' is eating up too much battery on 'Wake Locks'. Many system applications are shown collectively under 'Android System' out of which VPN services causes a lot of wake locks. I anyways don't use VPN on phone so I disabled/removed vpnservices apk from /system/app and voila!, battery life increased considerably.

You should refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128135 for wake lock issue.

TIP: After removing VPN services apk. the time consumed on wake locks by 'Android System' increased approximately by 12 to 14 minutes per hour for about 5 hours i.e. total 55 to 60 minutes. But after approx 5 hours, it does not increase.

Whereas, with standard installation (with vpn services apk not disabled/removed), the time spent on wake lock keeps on increasing considerably; resulting in battery consumption.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
I'm sorry to say but the battery life is really horrible, at least for me. Battery decreases from 100% to around 60% with minimal usage from 6am to 6pm
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Boboop:
i have better battery life than with any other rom. It could be interesting to know why there is such differences between users.

I didn't remove anything from the system, i'm using app2sd. My launcher is Go Launcher Ex. I activate data connection only when needed and my battery last for at least 2 days with a few calls and 20-30 min data connection per day.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] (•.•):
If the camera could be fixed soon, I would install it.

This rom would be greatz in final!

please keep it going!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhijeet.pathak:
CPU Voltage

I have generally seen that higher voltage is used for higher frequencies if CPU is overclocked.

But in default installation its

1000 mV for 333 MHz to 800 MHz

1050 mV for 222 MHz and

1200 mV for 83, 166 MHz

Why so?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TheCreat:
are you using SetCPU? It has a bug that displays the frequencies in the wrong order on the sg3. Apparently the next version will fix it, and it's in it's way. See the setcpu thread for more details/updates...

@MARCELLUSBE

hi dev

reply me if am not bothering u.. can we expect any bug fixes/ updates for cm7 ?

though mr.venkat is working hard to fix the bugs..but they seems quite unstable..(not discouraging)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Stanislaus:
"yes ... with mtd driver normally (kernel 2.6.32)."

Thats what he said about a week or 2 ago.

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
for now, no.... still working on mtd driver and camera.

mtd driver is working fine ... but the mtd-bml layer used to read the modem partition is not correct (although it's working on my phone), and could lead to hard brick.

then, there will be the param partition problem to solve.

about the bug fixing of Mr venkat, I didn't see any bugfix or source code modified in his github ... So, I don't know what he did and where.

Well, it's not easy when you own the device, so when you don't own it ... it's quite hard, isnt it?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bytebrahma:
Wow....it worked..battery still at brim after ten hours :).thanks a lot.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
FYI, on exynos3 devices supported in CM(aries|epic|p1), we made a new partition for modem and copied the modem.bin to it, and then symlinked it to /dev/block/bml12 (i believe it's bml5 for apollo).

Hi,marcellusbe,I want to build this rom from source code.

But the vendor files and cyanogen vendor files on github are for Alpha7.

Can I use them for building from the latest sources?

Besides,i found 4 branches in the repo of device config.

Which branches should I use for building? master but not cm7?

And I found the build stopping here. What should I do? Waiting for your update?

Sorry to bother you.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
For the copybit error, just delete the lines 135 and 136. Then, copybit should compile.

I reworked the device config repo, just wait until it's ready and uploaded.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
Thank you very much.

I will have a try.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
Hi,marcellusbe.

I got system.img, userdata.img and other things after building from source.

Now there is officeal froyo without cwm on my Apollo.

Can I creat a .tar file including factoryfs.img(system) ,datafs.img(userdata) and zImage(cm7 v1.9) then flash it by odin?

Also, can I flash only the kernel(cm7 v1.9) by odin then flash the otapackage I creat by cwm?

Thank you!

Edit:I flash only the kernel(cm7 v1.9) by odin then flash the otapackage I creat by cwm. But I find that the color may have problem.The boot animation is bule but it display in green.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
The easiest way :

- make a zip flashable by cwm with your system folder. You can take alpha8.3 zip file and replace system folder inside.

- flash kernel 1.9

- go into recovery and flash zip file.

It should work (I did like this every time).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
oh,I see.

But I got the color problem before. Maybe I should try again.

Thank you!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
@marcellusbe Hello! I have one problem while making CWM updates. I put whole rom in zip and flashed. But phone stays on logo too long. And then after 1 min appers rom's logo. But when flashing via odin everything is fine. I used your META-INF and the same situation. Do you know what the problem is.

I was using Rom Cooker for making update.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
no idea ... upload it somewhere then I can have a closer look

here http://kisadworx-mod.googlecode.com/files/KISADWORX_ROM_v7.2.1_CWM_Update.zip
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
I think it's a filesystem problem ... you want to format ext2 for system but fstab expected system to be ext4.

After flashing your rom and rebooted, the filesystems (system and data) are ext4. The entire filesystem has probably being checked the first boot, so that's why it's taking time.

ext2 filesystem is not recommended because it will lead to filesystem corruption.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
Ok. I understand. But why this appears only on cwm? Not on ODIN...

Is it better to use ext4 for data & cache?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
the initial ramdisk (unless you changed it) mounts filesystems like this :

mount ext4 /dev/block/stl6 /system rw
mount rfs /dev/block/stl6 /system rw check=no
mount ext4 /dev/block/stl7 /data nosuid nodev
mount rfs /dev/block/stl7 /data nosuid nodev check=no
mount ext2 /dev/block/stl8 /cache nosuid nodev
mount rfs /dev/block/stl8 /cache nosuid nodev check=no

system and data can be ext4 or rfs.

cache can be ext2 or rfs.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
Hi,marcellusbe,sorry to bother you again.

I made a zip as you said but I still got the display color problem.

So I compared /system(A8.3) with mine,and I found out these differences.

What should I do? Which file need I delete?

Thank you!

Left:A8.3 Right:mine

@marcellusbe how can i convert data and cache on cm7 kernel #889?

Because using datafs.rfs and cache.rfs from g3mod kernel in cwm i have lots of mistakes such as: can't mount cache/

or recovery/.....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yeeuyz@foxmail.com:
I don't know.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
it's not possible with cm7 kernel ... it doesnt contains any convert script like in fugumod or g3mod.

only way is to write a script to execute in the initial ramdisk or adapt fugumod to this kernel.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1trand1r:
or try converting fs with fsconvert file option with g3mod kernel...than flash cm7 kernel...

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] raja4sure:
well the changelog tells the basic thing for alpha9 itself.......

Apart from that, yes....there is performance enhancement more importantly due to MTD & YAFFS2 file system

the Wifi module is redone by marcel by removing wifi related samsung craps from kernel and merging with AOSP's sources....

Bug Fixed here : No Battery Drain Now

everyone keeps on asking marcel for update & all.......and the working of MTD needs proper testing.......

Thats why Marcel will release the alpha9 build in 2 versions.....BML version & MTD version.....

MTD version will be with a DISCLAIMER....i guess with all the notes about chances of going wrong and all ......this will be like BETA testing of MTD by users who are willing to .......

Getting MTD work properly on our device was the point in this update and he has done it...........it'll help in Kernel 3.4 also as he also got MTD working in kernel 3.4......
