[G1 General] Kaos Chase:
Well it finally happened. My G1 has finally taken the BIG plunge. It's totaled. Screen is cracked and won't even come on. I was looking for an outing for months now however. With two lines and my girlfriend already breaking hers, I was paying out the yin yang for service with T-Mobile and I also knew for months that with the company I work for I get a discount with every carrier but T-Mobile. My G1's will be missed. I do wish I could keep them and continue to follow the development that has carried the phone this far when everyone said there was no way. If I somehow get the screen fixed I will probably continue to do so.

However for now, I have ordered two new EVO's and I am switching my carrier to Sprint. I get a 15% discount on my bill every month and I am very excited with it's developing community and am looking forward to moving on with android.

I wish the developers and followers of the G1 the best and continue doing awesome work for such a great phone.

Thanks all.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Inspired by supercurio creating a master git repo for SGH-I997R development, I'm in the process of uploading today's source release from Samsung of the Gingerbread kernel for the Rogers Infuse 4G. (I'm surprised none of the other kernel hackers here have already done it... :) )

See supercurio's post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054738 for more info on why git is good, and superior to kernel devs using tarballs directly from Samsung. This method is already unofficially how the kernel devs have been working - nearly every kernel here is forked from gtg465x's github repo.

I don't plan on directly doing development on this repo - It's just here as a starting point for everyone else to fork from. Some of us have slow upstream, so it's easier to pull a fork than it is to push a tarball import. However I might consider pulling in basic fixes to this repo (.gitignore, Makefile fixes - basically the same things supercurio has fixed in his unified git repos). (Edit: I'm starting to consider doing things a bit differently in order to allow this to stay as a relevant reference - After all there are certain "core" features like Voodoo Lagfix/Sound that have no known detrimental effects and are basically expected from any kernel used by the community.)

One thing is that most of the other ref repos are on a github "team" account - mine is on a personal account. I'm going to look into whether I can change this without breaking the fork relationships.

The repo is located at https://github.com/Entropy512/linux_kernel_sgh-i997r

Initramfs from Wednesday's dump is at https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_sgh-i997r

Note: If someone creates a better "master" repo for everyone to track, I'll happily edit this post to point there.

Update: Merged a pull request from LinuxBozo that has a bunch of .gitignore fixes and Makefile fixes.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ookba:
Good work! Looking now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seemles:
Absolutely awesome news :-D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
Oh blast, hadn't even seen that kernel code was available... thanks Entropy!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A personal favor I'd like to ask of people forking - try to keep things to one feature per commit. An example being LinuxBozo's ext4 backport to the Froyo kernels - it was simple and easy to apply to other kernels. As opposed to someone had a massive supercommit that added a whole bunch of stuff at once, making it hard to either pick-and-choose or hard to apply if they had already applied a single-feature commit for one of the features. (One example being a commit that combined something like TinyRCU, jhash3, and BFQ all in one. I don't remember exactly what it was.)

Merged LinuxBozo's pull request with build fixes

Merged LinuxBozo's pull request with the rainbow fix

Added initramfs repo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ookba:
Nice!! Anything buildable yet?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
should be buildable since initramfs is available, tomorrow gtg's voodoo commit should be available too. this is all very exciting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A few more things got pulled in last night.

Kernel - not much

Initramfs - Working CWM - or at least it comes up, it hasn't been fully tested functionally yet

As of last night a few people have custom kernels running including myself, although some people still can't boot them. CWM wasn't working until past midnight...

Next up is voodoo - Not sure if I'll include that in the main initramfs repo or not. Maybe as a branch. It is a fairly standard mod, so it should be in a readily accessible repo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Bad news - as I said before CWM hadn't been fully tested.

Apparently, after further testing, it still does indeed have some pretty severe issues. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Sadface

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
We have what seems to be working CWM and Voodoo thanks to gtg - in testing now.

The trolls in IRC aren't helping. Not a good time for the ops to be AFK.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
trolls suck.

GL guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Gotta love the trolls.

Good luck guys. I know you all will figure it out
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
Well, thanks to the blasted trolls and the unfortunate circumstance of my only internet being my phone, I'm borked from being able to participate in the main infuse4g room as webchat is banned (for a good reason) and I can't get past the SASL issue otherwise.... oh well. :(

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A few updates:

Pulled in netarchy's OC patch. It's in a separate branch (oc_netarchy) - builds but untested.

Added MHL support to defconfig. Builds, kernel detects an MHL adapter and HDMI cable in dmesg, but no video output. Something is still missing, either the (broken, does not compile) G2D driver or something in userland on Rogers-based firmware.

Cleanups to the build script to automatically copy initramfs from a git-repo and then clean it up - previous build scripts would kill the source directory's ability to be used as a git repo any more.

Build script enhancement - build both rainbow and non-rainbow (CWM) kernel variants. I think eventually I'm going to look into using sed to avoid having to maintain two defconfigs that only differ by one line.

TODO based on time (i've got a lot of stuff going on with evenings this week):

Further MHL investigations

Investigating improving defconfig management for rainbow/nonrainbow

Potentially pull in some of netarchy's other enhancements (SLQB, task grouping stuff) - this is "under the hood" stuff most users won't notice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Updates from this evening:

Fixed a build script issue that affects those that pulled the git repo and didn't already have kernel/user/initramfs

Kanged furiously from netarchy's git repo - .gitignore updates in master tree (only affects devs), updated the oc_netarchy branch, pulled in two commits into a new "staging" branch. I'll merge staging to mainline after chatting with LinuxBozo and gtg.

Update on MHL - After talking to gtg on IRC, it sounds like there's a lot missing on the userland side of things. So no MHL/HDMI until AT&T releases Gingerbread most likely.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Thanks for updates ent
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Mainline - committed a sleep of death/autoreboot fix from netarchy that affects people with "screen off" profiles that throttle to less than 800 MHz. Also committed some minor build script fixes.

oc_netarchy branch - undervolt support cherry-picked from his tree, seems to be working well for me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
I'm excited
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A bit of bad news - it may be specific to how I cherrypicked the commits into my tree, but the oc_netarchy branch in the git repo does NOT seem to respect min/max (or at least max) freq limits set by SetCPU profiles. End result is a fairly unstable system.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Any change with voltage control? That seemed more stable to me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I'm testing a non-overclock implementation of netarchy's VC. Dunno where that'll go. I'm leaving for business tomorrow morning so probably won't do much hacking the next few days.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Ok bro take it easy lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Current state, by branch:

master:

Moved to an autogenerated defconfig

Change kernel and initramfs compression to LZMA (really means nothing to endusers but gives initramfs hackers more room to play)

Merged LinuxBozo's pull request with the improved and likely final rainbow fix

Cleaned up build scripts to eliminate stuff that is unnecessary due to the rainbow fix

Removed some voodoo sound cruft that was accidentally pulled in with netarchy's big gitignore patch, this was interfering with attempts to actually put Voodoo Sound in

oc_netarchy:

Corrected a small typo. Untested. Prior to this commit the branch was known to be unstable and probably still is. Netarchy believes the typo probably wasn't breaking anything.

uv_only:

Netarchy's voltage control patches ported to a non-overclock kernel. These seem to be working, at least they don't break my device. However they might not actually be doing anything (a la VC in Infusion 1.0/1.5).

charginghacks:

IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY (except those who can read and understand git commit logs)

voodoo_sound:

Rebased bedwa's Voodoo Sound v10 commits into a single commit. Seems to be working, but LinuxBozo saw some stuff that looked "weird" - keeping this in a branch for a while, eventually it will be merged to master
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Just realized Charge has GB and MHL. We may be able to pull user libs from it as well as required framework modifications.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Sweet. I'll look at what kernel-level kanging is possible this week. Packing for a business trip tomorrow, but I should have some time in the hotel later in the week.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I thought the charge had a micro hdmi port? :confused:

not sure it will work the same. hope it is enough to hack something together though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Good catch... It isn't MHL, but it MIGHT be similar enough in userland to work - no idea.

I'll try to bring an HDMI cable along on my trip to play with the MHL port some more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Updates:

TinyRCU

CIFS modules compiled in

Something else but I can't remember what

My contributions to the repo are going to slow down now that I'm transitioning to CM7 work. LinuxBozo's CM7 kernel tree has nearly all of the features present here.

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
my original 3D was a HT16 serial # I got through the premier order deal and had a slight tilt to the screen so I got telesales to send me another. The new one is an HT17 serial #, both version 2's and the 2nd(HT17 having the OTA applied obviously but the original one still on first OS. Now on to the differences I've noticed so far.

HT16(original)

Screen-> darker/slight yellow whites(or more realistic) when compared to the new one.

dmesg showed the following:

"panel: mipi_cmd_novatek_qhd"

"<6>[ 1.797454] mipi_novatek_panel_type_detect: panel_type=PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT"

HT17(newer just received)

brighter whites somewhat fake at times i guess you could view it.

power button was very mushy and much tougher to work compared to the HT16 which was very firm and clicky.

dmesg showed:

"<6>[ 1608.757825] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT"

Now on to the odd thing. I took pictures with both phones in the exact same location and settings and you can tell when viewing on the phone that one has lil brighter(maybe faker) whites. I thought possibly that it could be just because of the screen and the photo taken would look the same on a PC but they dont. you still see the diff in whites on home PC. Also somehow the photos size were different with the HT17(brighter whites) coming in at 611KB, and the older HT16 file was 776KB.

Now whats even funnier is that when you select the photo in the gallery and view details the HT17(brighter whites) lists it at 478KB and the HT16(original) lists its size at 613KB. This is different fromt he size thats listed when you email it, and even whats listed next to it when you attach it in an email.

I double checked all settings too in the camera and even tried setting them both to manual settings instead of auto's and got the same results.

Now this had me wondering if maybe they used diff camera sensors or something along those lines given the pics look different on a computer as well, or maybe its an OS issue all together??? I got the replacement b/c my screen is tilted some but this difference in whites has me confused since the camera is doing it and not just on the screen. Not sure if I like the brighter one or not.

I attached the two pics taken of my american bulldog below. 25 is from the original one and 16 is the newer one. These were taken with flash off btw.
[HTC EVO 3D] bnl552:
I'll be you it's just a metering difference. Probably took two slightly different exposures.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
And I would expect that but I took many pics and they all were the same result when you compared the two.

is there a way to check for camera hardware manufacturers like we can for the screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
Interesting, I wonder if the camera freezing for people is related to this at all, doesn't seem like everyone has it or maybe people don't use the camera enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
i think its more because not many have 2 of them side by side able to compare. I know if i didn't i wouldn't know the difference or see anything wrong really.

[Android Software Development] nirgal2002:
I'm working on a side project to come up with a proposal for a better way of deploying apps. In a perfect world, a customer would come the a download portal webpage. It would have some text and then provide a "Download" button, which would animate as some form of progress indicator while the apk is downloading. Once done, the button would change to an "Install" button if the "allow non market apps" option is checked. Otherwise we would have a button to "change settings" which would launch the phone/tablet settings page where they could check "allow non market apps". My question is, is any of this possible? Is this possible via javascript? Android activex equivalent? etc? :confused:

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect.

Hi guys,

Well... I have installed recently CM7 6.5 and Kernel 18.1. I changed the kernel version (to v18) because of the big battery drain and i can't use Maps and Navigator!

I don't remember if i tried it with Kernel 18.1, but when i open these apps, they keep loading, and loading, and screen's light turns off and nothing... they don't run!

I have tested other apps, and they run normally, the trouble is in these two apps...

Someone have a solution?

Obs.: I have installed street view too and i don't use 3G.

Thanks!

Nobody knows about it?

Please, someone! Help me!

I reflashed maps application and for my surprise, the app run normally, without any problem... maps and navigator.

Well... i closed the app and when i tried it again, a problem appeared. I can see only the last map charged... if i search for any adress, it keeps charging, and charging, and the new map doesn't appear. In the navigator, the app can't find my location...

What curious case! Anybody knows what i can do to fix it?
