Any word from any one on when the devlopers will get the source code for this phone? I realize that this will help everyone developer wise get a better handle on kernels and greatly help the community.

I went back to GB for a second there but the charging issues have gotten out of control with the kernels which is why I'm starting to wonder when the sourrce will be released. We obviously need it to make further advancement with the community ROMs at this point.

I also seen where HTC said that they will unlock their bootloaders here soon.

Thanks for any one who contributes to this conversation.
[Thunderbolt General] Kid_Cudi:
Gingerbread? Or Froyo? Cuz Froyo been out...

Thunderbolt «» das BAMF Remix
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
I like Kid Cudi as well first of all.

What I mean is and I'm probably not going to use the right term here but the RIL or perhaps SDK.. Bear with me here I'm good at trouble shooting stuff but not programming.

I was googling it didn't help me get the right term lol. Chime in who ever knows what the hell I'm talking about here lol.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
The kernel source itself has been out for quite some time. We will never see the "source" for the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) because it is proprietary on both HTC and Qualcomm's side. That's about as simple as it gets.
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
Yeah I think it's RIL. It's what the Cookers keep stating they're waiting for to finish their ROMs like CM7 for instance. The developer for it states that he's waiting for RIL to be able to officially finish his work. We really need to get this released from HTC so we can fix some of the issues people are having with CM7 and the leak for GB. I went back to Froyo because of the issues the leaks having with charging etc..
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
HTC and google do not have to release any of the android source if they don't want to because the source (NOT THE KERNEL) uses the apache license, which is very permissive like the BSD/MIT licenses. It lets you use any code additions you make to the source for commercial projects without having to give it back unless you choose to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_license. This is why google doesnt have to release the Honeycomb source as long as they didn't make any additions/modifications to the kernel itself.

Google went through lots of effort as well to make sure they would not be bound by the GPL by writing their own clibs based off of code from various BSD ports. See here for an interesting article on some of the low level features of android (it's a bit old, but most of it is still relevant). http://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2008/11/six-million-dollar-libc.html

The kernel (like all linux kernels) is GPL and must be released.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
RIL will be released when it is finished. Slayher is working hard as hell on it. Not saying anyone is under appreciating just give the man some time and soon we will all have MIUI and CM7 running flawlessly on our devices.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
I think there is a misunderstanding here. The RIL from Slayher is not the same as the RIL from HTC/Qualcomm.

Slayher will merge his "source" into the public CyanogenMod repo once he deems it's ready.

On the other hand, the "source" from HTC/Qualcomm is a whole different subject. We won't be getting a drop of it from them. Not now, not ever.
[Thunderbolt General] thewebsiteisdown:
I deffinately appreciate all the hard work. I just thought that HTC had to release this info. I didn't know that Slayher or any other coder could just reverse engineer it.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
No the RIL source and Sense source run under the apache license which states that the software developer can use the open source code but does NOT have to repost anything he or she produces.

So it is up to our dev's to do that and make it readily available.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks07:
Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to install DSP manager on a stock ROM (rooted)? If not, is there another alternative on NS to boost bass? On Galaxy S I had "Galaxy Tuner" and it was awesome... Too bad it doesn't work on NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
Voodoo sound v9 with hardware EQ sounds awesome.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks07:
Does Voodoo sound have an equalizer now? I tried to find a change log for v9, but their XDA page ends at v7...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks07:
Just found out that Voodoo Control Plus works on any kernel (including stock - just needs root) and has a Bass boost! Awesome!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
No need for any special kernels or voodoo. Just take the DSPmanager apk file from the latest nightly and save it to your SD card. Browse to it using a file manager on your phone and select to install it. Works just fine for boosting sound. Been using it on stock rooted when I first got the phone and ns4g nightly was not available yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks07:
Thanks. Tried DSP Manager from nightlys - installes and works fine, even though effect of equalizer is very subtle. Voodoo Plus works as well.
[EVO 4G General] asvgothen:
Hi, i guess switching between roms made me got lost with all the NECESSARY FILES that my phone came with, lets says i dont have or did not back up any of them, which files do i need for a restore and where can i get them.. all the help will be much appreciated... thanks in advance...:):)
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
what 'necessary files' are you talking about? Every rom should come with everything you need. Most roms remove a lot of the bloatware that came with the stock rom, if that's what you are talking about.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Are you talking about going back to stock? If you didn't make a nandroid backup of your stock rom, you can always flash the rooted stock rom. If you need to unroot, flash the unrevoked s-on zip and then run the RUU.

Well i guess what im trying to say is this.... if you just have an EMPTY SD CARD and NO ROM whatsoever, which files would i need to put on the sd card and where to get it from, or just put any image or rom and just flash it, what about radios or kernels...
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
Is the phone rooted and have a recovery installed?

If so, just grab any zip from any rom you want, put it on the sd card, boot into recovery, and flash it.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Hey guys,

I'm sure most of you know about the Battery Calibration app on the market.

For most of you, calibrating at 100% charge should significantly increase battery life.

After playing around, it seems that the phone can't seem to "keep" a sustained "track record" in battery life over the days and repeated charging.

Once calibrated the first time, battery life seems to be exceptional. Allowing the phone to die and charging again without calibration seems to degrade the battery life yet again. It's definitely something with the batterystats file.

Also, once calibrated, if your phone is charged (lets say from 25%) to give yourself some extra juice, and you do not hit 100%, remaining battery life seems to suffer.

I've repeated this multiple times as well. Last night, I charged from 25% to 54% and my phone couldn't keep a good charge and dropped to 19% with light usage in about 2 hours.

The Point: Calibrate your battery every time you hit a 100% charge. (For me, each morning). By doing this, I've went from 6-8hrs of total battery time to about 22-30hrs.

I've even managed to squeeze out 2.5hrs of display time as well.

Maybe the dev of the app should add an automated scheduling feature, or one that calibrates every time the device hits 100%.

Hope this helps!
[Atrix 4G General] binary110:
Im going to try this, charge is at 80% so i'll throw it on charger, and then calibrate at 100. I hate how the battery in this phone is so sporadic, i've only gotten 30 hours out of it once. and never again.
[Atrix 4G General] alistair3149:
Do u sure it affects a lot?

Swyped from MB860
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Made a huge difference for me, give it a shot.
[Atrix 4G General] binary110:
charged to 100% and then calibrated the battery, i will update you on how it fairs, and what kind of usage i do. I usually am pretty low on battery by the time im on my way home in about 6 hours.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
It varies for everyone; hence "calibration". This gives people the battery life they should be getting.
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
This usually only makes a (or I should say the most) difference with freshly factory reset phones, or right after flashing a custom rom.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Nice, let us know how it goes.
[Atrix 4G General] binary110:
1 hr 50 minutes unplugged so far,

15m 7s display @ 26%

3m 9s Voice calls @ 18%

idle @ 15%

wifi 9%

SYStem 8%

standby is 7%

com.motorola.service.main 4%

launcherpro 4%

android OS 3%

Email 2%

Only down 10% battery. normally im down roughly 10%/hr when ive so much as used voice/email.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I agree with the OP... This seems like a much safer way to keep the battery accurate, etc. I was told a while ago that the Battery calibration app doesn't work right on the atrix, so I was told to manually wipe the stats in CWM, then let the phone die and then recharge to 100%...BAD idea. Battery seemed completely fried after this, only about 1/4 as long as it did before.

I think the app does work, and it's much safer. I don't really recommend ever letting the phone die though, after what happened to me. Could have been a freak accident, but not taking that risk again!
[Atrix 4G General] W0nderBread:
28h 30m, 46% battery left.

2h display

30m talking

30m plants vs zombies

All I've ever done is charge phone to 100% first charge, let it completely die, and then only charge to 100% at night, with occasional car charger use.

I wouldn't suggest completely decharging battery regularly, it deteriorates lithium ion batteries faster
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I never let mine die completely either. Ill usually put it up to charge at night once it hits about 20% or so. Calibrating once in the morning seems to get me through the day pretty well.
[Atrix 4G General] binary110:
80% battery remaining. 5hr 2m 5s since unplugging.

32% - Display 53m 0s (rare for an even number)

14% voice calls 7m 2s

13% idle - 4h 9m 7s

8% wifi - 4h 52m 5s

7% android system.

6% cell standby

5% swype

3% android os

3% maps

2% com.motorola.service.main

2% LauncherPro

This is definitely better than usual. 2 hours in, i was at 80%. now after 5 hours, im at 80%...

On a side note, The phone hasnt gotten hot in my pocket like it usually does today as well.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
How long have you had your phone? Mine really didn't start performing well until I had had it for 3 weeks or so. I did a flash to the 1.83 SBF (at 100% battery - equal to a recalibration) and haven't shut it off in like 10 days. No recalibration and I can get at least 18 hours of use (with like 4-5 hours of screen time).

tl;dr - I don't think you need to recalibrate all the time
[Atrix 4G General] charlyee:
How do you figure the 100%, since the battery goes from 90 to 100.

Do you just let the battery calibration app beep when it measures 100%?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
Which battery calibration app did you download?
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I used this app:

As for my phone, I've had it since launch day on at&t.

Another thing to mention: add a screen-off profile using setcpu as well, definitely helps.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Yes, the app will notify you when your phone is at 100%, as well as the text reading "charged" on the lockscreen.
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
Funny, i was just about to post in an older battery thread about similar issues as the op. Ill give this a shot

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
Hey new member here,

I was wondering if someone could help me as I am ultimately (hopefully)trying to put Touchwiz 4.0 on my sgs.

I stumbled upon this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058164 from a responding poster, but rather than risking following it and possibly bricking my phone, can anyone tell me if its possible to do this if my version is already 2.3.3 and xxjvo? So basically can you put a ROM on your phone that is also 2.3.3/current firmware but a different X.J..?

I have been through the process of rooting my current version(successfully) and also I tried to manually deodex it too but get stuck using the cmd commands in the instructions in this guide: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/158274-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html e.g. I get "permission denied"...

Finally, considering my ultimate aim is to put touchwiz 4.0 on my handset, if there is an easier way to customise my current version 2.3.3. XXJVO i.e. a good ROM I could use compatible with my version that can use an available TW 4.O or any other good features this would be useful. idk, I think I don't really understand what is compatible with what and what ROMs etc I can use...

I am kinda new to this whole flashing, rooting stuff so please be patient with me...any help is very much appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
We're all new at some point mate :)

Yes you can revert to an older version, you could even go back to eclair if you wanted.

If your looking for TW 4 I would recommend Tweaky ROM 4.1 It has TW 4 and still has a stock feel. Its the most stable TW4 I have used.

If you already have Clockwork recovery you dont need to flash JVH or a custom kernal

Link for ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059561

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
Thanks for your response mate :D

I will defo have a look at this and i've got clockwork installed so I will follow your vids. Hopefully, it will work for me.

oh yeah, I'm stuck on manually deodexing stage but does my phone need to be deodexed to follow your vid? Is it ok if it is only rooted with CWM?

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
No problem mate. You dont need a deodexed ROM so long as you are on at least JVH and have clockwork.

Tweaky is pre rooted and deodexed :) If you like his work be sure to click the thanks button on his thread :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
Thanks again beerdaddy,

when you say "at least JVH" what exactly do you mean? does that have anything to do with my firmware version 2.3.3 or the XXJVO stuff? I kept reading other posts for a solution before posting and all the JVB, JVH and JVO talk confuses me.

Also are JVO and JVH incompatible/compatible or two different things altogether?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
No probs

The JV1/K/B/H/O are all gingerbread firmwares but different releases. Your on JVO and that is the latest international version so your absolutely fine to flash from this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
Hey beerdaddy,

Thanks for the info yesterday. I managed to put the ROM on successfully :D. However, i have encountered a couple problems and the only thing i installed was Tweaky_ROM_v4.1_No_Wipe.zip.

Since you have used this before do you know how to fix two things that have FC on me:

the email app and swype

Swype lets you draw a line but makes a sound when you complete a word and the word does not appear in the text box. The email app just has a blank screen then FC. Also, are there any other common problems i should also know about too?

In this version I no longer have CWM there so how do i reboot into recovery etc? How will i apply any suggested fixes. Thanks in advance :)

Edit: i found cwm when pressing power and selecting recovery that put me into cwm recovery albeit an older version than what i had before e.g. Power button is used for select not middle button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
No worries mate

I haven't heard about the email app or experienced a problem with the email app so not so sure about that. Did you wipe Dalvik cache? If not try that.

Swype has a fix, you can find details on how to fix on the first page of Tweaky ROM thread under the tips and other things section :)

Edit: You can get in to recovery using the extended power menu or the three button combo (vol up + home + power key together)

Edit 2: You should wipe data for email app too from the manage app section in settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
Thanks for being such a big help :)

Both issues are fixed now and it is quite perfect except for the odd widget acting up but I don't use them. I think i'll just have a look round for other slight tweaks just to spruce it up a bit and i'm good. Any suggestions of good additional tweaks to this that work with my version? If not, thanks again. you made this a very easy process along with the help of Tweaky :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
No problem :)

Not so much a tweak but I would recommend Voodoo Control Plus app of the market. Makes it easier and clearer managing the ext4 lagfix and unlocks some amazing power from the amp giving you great sound quality.

The 7 lockscreen add on is good too which is found on the Tweaky thread, gives you SGSII lock screen plus the usual lot

EDIT: Which widgets aren't working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
K. I'm giving that voodoo control a go and have dl 7 lockscreen. I'm assuming you install it through cwm the same way as every other .zip file?

The widget that doesn't work properly is the "days" widget. I don't use it so its not really a problem. However, if you put it on one of your panels and try to click it it FC's the TW launcher and goes into the phone app. This means you have to choose a launcher again but I guess this would only really apply to someone who uses it; I was just checking out what the days widget was and how the diff widgets looked. cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
Yeah just the usual installation via cwm. Never tried that widget....you can use another app called Nitrality to remove system apps and widgets you don't want/need
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
I will defo give voodoo control a go and about to install the 7 lockscreen too. I'm assuming you install it through cwm like any other zip file?

There are two widgets that seem to not be working one is the "power control" widget which appears but with out any actual power controls(basically just a blank screen) and the "days" widget where you can place it on a panel but when you click to edit it it FC's the TW launcher and puts you in the phone app :confused:

I don't use them though but found this out because I wanted to see how all the panels/widgets looked.

btw does the SGS2 lockscreen work like in some video I saw where you get your missed messages etc on it and sliding across takes you straight to the msg app?

EDIT: This is kind of a repost because I came back to edit my original reply but it wasn't there for some reason; hence this reply.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
Yeah the lockscreen has the text and call slides

Edit: The power control widget will work, you need to stick on to a home screen and then reboot your phone. I personally use the extended power control widget of the market tho
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highaimer:
will probably get that one from the market. Thanks for all your help on this. I feel thoroughly welcomed! Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:

Lately my phone has been receiving the notifications for a new text, but as soon as I click on it it doesn't show up in the message thread. It also doesn't appear in the stock messaging app. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm running the VisionKernal 1.0 and was on the EE03 modem but switched back to the EC05 modem.

I've had this same problem with GO SMS. It seems to be an issue with the popup. When I disable GO notifications and simplying use the Messaging app, everything works smoothly. It's likely just a bug in the latest GO SMS version. Report it. Their dev team is pretty quick on updates and bug fixes.
