[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mshoss:
Hello,

I'm getting a free Blackberry Playbook, I know it runs on QNX OS, but is their away to put Honeycomb on it, seeing as it has no physical buttons.

I want a 7 inch tablet, and the Galaxy Tab and Flyer(wi-fi) is not doing it for me, seeing how the Playbook is 1.0Ghz dual core, it will keep up with every one else.

Plus the fact Android on BB would be pure swagger.

Iv spent 3 hours researching it and all i get is the fact that their porting apps.

Thanks

Since Google didn't release the Honeycomb source code, this task may be impossible.

but they will release for 4.0 ice cream sandwich... will then be someone who will be brave enough to unlock the device and port android to BB?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] meltbox360:
Instead of posting in a new thread I will post here. Where can I find anything that would help me port android as an app to the playbook since the playbook as of now has a very secure boot mechanism. I have not tried to exploit it but from what I have seen QNX is insanely restrictive, you cant even read system logs. Is it even possible to port android as an app?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blogbytes:
Afaik RIM added Android app support to the playbook?!

The classes are identical (j2me/java) so as a developer it shouldn't be to tricky to port it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] meltbox360:
I'm asking about running android (the entire os) as an app. The android player wont do android native sdk among some other things so not all apps will run. I'm asking if its possible to for example take android and run it through a translation layer that will take calls to the gpu and just use opengl on the playbook to render things. So kind of like vm but specific to the device and version of android so its actually fast and not an emulator.

HC source code is released comparative with ICS one. You need a good experienced dev for that type of action.

Does anyone know if qnx uses a bootloader/recovery layout like Android? I would be interested to know how much reworking of the firmware would be needed and even so, would it be possible?

Deleted. Wrong thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RoadTowed:
Got one also.

Great video quality, fast, QNX not so bad;

but

App Store a real disappointment.

RIM wants paid for Apps that are free on Android; big big fail!

There is a loader (PowerUp & Volume + and volume minus; hold for 20 seconds)

Hopefully some xda weeney will jump all over this thing.

Great hardware.

Actually faster than my Gtablet w/FB10 (which is great too)!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chaose:
Picked up one when it went on sale, and has been playing around with it. hardware is nice, QNX is very smooth. The machine is a multi-tasking beast.

Some android apps work,but you have to convert it to a .bar file first. The process can be frustrating.

Apparently people have gotten android app market to work on the playbook through the app player; not exactly sure how it's done but this gives me some hope.

App World, on the other hand, subpar apps that offers a quarter the functionality of free apps on the android market have a price of >$2.99. I can't find a single decent e reader on the app world.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] minerva1961:
As far as I know the Playbook has a encrypted locked boot partition and no-one but BB knows how to hack that...

Sadly booting anything other than QNX is not going to happen until that major hurdle is overcome, I think Bingleberry gives root access but not sure if it will allow overwriting of the actual boot loader (but I may be wrong). I would love to run Android on my PB.. or Ubuntu 11 and have put some thought into it but there are no Youtube vids demoing even a severely hacked version of anything and I certainly don't want to risk bricking my 64G PB experimenting.. :(

I am SOOOOO sick of checking every other week for some news of someone finally making this a useable tablet it is a steaming pile with out a full droid os.

I hate they way rim acts too

"cant have side loading" case you know someone might not fork over money to rim 0_o they removed the ability to have add for the droid apps ????????

when is the hacking community going to say enough and fight back !

this is OUR hardware lets put on OUR own software no more walled gardens no more lock down

why have we as a people stepped back ?

this is bull

a tablet IS A PC

would you ever let someone tell you what software can be installed on your home pc ?

HELL NO

they call it an app. and because of that one Word we allow them to tell us what to do.

Hope someone goes for it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Playbook has a locked bootloader, and there is no way to unlock it right now. The last two versions of the OS have not been rooted publicly. Prior to these updates, all OS versions could be rooted, but it was still not possible to replace the OS. There was talk of CFW (custom firmware) coming for future updates at that point, to keep root, but the developer behind this upgraded his playbook and RIM have now prevented downgrading, so this developer is stuck without root. I am not sure how this CFW was going to be done, but it is possible it could have led the way for custom OSes running on the PB. As it is, there is no progress worth talking about for this device.

But even as it is right now, it is a fantastic tablet.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzz:
I know there are a lot of threads already but bare with me....

A lot of users have been having issues with battery (me inlcuded). These are the following things I have personally tried:

Screen Filter

Freezing Apps in Titanium

Green Power (though I had issues with it not enabling data when screen on)

I have tried VillianRom the CF-Kernel and currently I am on stock K7 and the stock Kernel (rooted using insecure kernel then flashed stock again)(figured that might help since Samsung wouldn't actually sell a phone without testing the battery).

I am not a gamer nor have I been abusing my phone. Today scenario:

(3G/HSPDA always switched on or wifi when available)

Removed phone from charge at 1400 Hours.

Wifi was on till I left home at around 1530 hours during the process I must have barely checked a few messages on Whatsapp and made one phone call. Since then I have been out met a few friends showed off the phone. When I say showed off the phone all I did was this:

Showed the S2 playing a video

Played a song from google music (streaming over 3G)

Used whatsapp for about 10 minutes

Spoke on the phone for a total of 30 minutes

Got back home around 2200 hours and the phone was screaming for attention which I believe on stock is around 15%.

As you can see from above I have hardly used the phone. Now my query is for those users who are not having battery issues. We have had a lot of threads complaining about issues can we just have a brief post from you guys who are having fantastic battery?

Something like:

Firmware

Rom

Kernel

Root Status

Applications Installed/Frozen

Other Steps?

How much juice have you gotten out of it

I think all of this would greatly help. Coz clearly some of us are having problems and some aren't so could we just share the knowledge?

Sorry for my rambling but I wanted to explain all of it as clearly as I could. Instead of starting another thread as to WHAT CAN I DO!?

Cheers.

Kernel: OEM 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE1-CL182896

Root Status: No

Applications Installed/Frozen: None

Other Steps? : Wifi on most of the day, 3G off unless necessary. GPS off Screen brightness: auto

How much juice have you gotten out of it: 4 hours of screen on time, or 24 hours of light use. Usually 16 hours of 3.5-4 hours of screen time.

I hope this helps. Ah not to mention, I have had this phone for 5 days now, and I haven't had ANY Samsung apps show up.

Here is an image of my list of services, but I must say, I unplugged it last night at 10 PM, and left it mostly alone until this morning. That's why my screen usage is so low. In other threads i've posted a lot higher screen on time :). But it's just to show you that on KE1 there is no Samsung services going rogue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quarn:
One step forward two steps back while charging!

I had the bizarre issue last night where my S2 was losing power while it was charging. Only app running was Words with Friends (checked cpu usage and seemed ok) and I had Screen Filter running at 60%

Phone was near dead by 9pm even though I had topped it up during 2x 30min drives. Was playing Words against 4 family members (all on their iPhones) and I had to give up trying to play while huddled on the floor by the socket as it slowly dropped percent by percent lower.

Not Happy!

I had a ****ty battery life too but then after reading some tips how to improve it, I froze wifi sharing in Titanium Backup and disabled Google Latitude (not sure which one did the trick but if I had to choose, I guess Latitude was the issue since Maps was always showing up in Battery usage) and now my battery life is perfect. Before my phone would die after like 8 hours and now 24 hours is no problem :). I hope the new firmware will fix Latitude but until then, battery life > Latitude.

Haven't flashed it yet as phone is only 10 days old, so giving it sometime and probably wait for 2.3.4 to come out. I know KE7 is meant to give me better battery life, so may do the update or wait for 2.3.4.

My advice just get an external battery pack. My Energizer XP8000 will give me 2-5hrs extra S2 battery run time per 1hr on the charge (basically every 1hr 25-30% charged). So if you're away from home or at work, plug in XP8000 for 1hr and give the S2 a 2-5hr top up charge. But probably quicker to charge on S2 AC adaptor as USB = ~450mah and AC = ~650mah. So on AC every 1hr on charge = 40% top up on S2 battery life.

The added bonus of XP8000 is it has tips for 1000s of devices, so i can use it for my Acer 3810T notebook too which gets 10hrs itself and XP8000 can give it an extra 4 1/2hrs on top.

One thing I notice is I'm getting better battery life after each successive charge, with Juice Defender free started out around 17-19hrs, then 19-20hrs and now 23-26hrs. Been charging off XP800 @450mah for past 4 charges maybe it conditions battery batter than AC @650mah ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
A phone and a PDA (so called smartphone) are two different animals.

I forgot to say that my 3 years old HTC Polaris (with Windows Mobile 6 and a 2.8 inch LCD display) had about 12-14% battery discharge in the same conditions (but the battery was smaller, like 1300 mAh). Just for comparison for those who believe that Android is at fault.

I am unrooted, on genuine KE7 rom burned with Kies. Running no task killers of an kind, just carefully monitoring what is running on the phone, and how often my apps sync. I have not frozen any apps.

I get through the day (15-18 hours) with with about 2 hours of "hot" gaming, 30 mins of browsing and reading, and some background music playing.

This advice I had given in a different thread seemed to help at least one person.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzz:
Your absolutely right. Doing a stock reset does help. For me personally it didn't until just right now a few hours back when I updated my post.

Started testing from:

70% @ 4:53 AM

68% @ 6:34 AM

As from above the drop has significantly reduced. I am still going to do a complete test once I use the phone at normal hours and compare. Its looking fantastic. I could never really grasp how Samsung would let a device suffering from any sort of an issue be released just didn't make sense. Now I think I have it all figured out. After completing the steps I think I will update the op with possible fixes and different scenarios will take at least 2-3 days. I intend to test out the ROM's and do a comparison so perhaps more than 2-3 days. I am guessing for all of the tests to be conducted.

i get about a week from my battery, although it isn't the stock battery, i bought a 6500 mAh battery from amazon, have only charged it once so far so its not broken in,

Rom: Lightn'ng rom V6.1

Kernel: Siyah v1.8

Samsung apps: all deleted

Usage:

usually 20-40 min of hd video a day,

wifi/data set to auto sync every 2 hours for 4min using juicedefender,

about 30min of music a day

10 min of calls

20-40 texts

1-2 hours of gaming, angry birds ect/emulators

20 min using facebook or emails.

also i use 2 battery monitors (juice plotter and battery monitor), setcpu and a system monitor.

the phone uses setcpu to reduce the cpu to 100mhz when the screen is off and slowly reduce the cpu as the battery drains (from 50% battery) and is undervolted. I also use screen dimmer for night time use or dark environments, juicedefender sets my phone to flight mode between 2am-8am every night, as well as syncing apps and it turns wifi/data on or off depending what apps i'm using.

i'm about to change roms to see if i can get better stats with another, i'll let you know any results.
