[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
well, you check out this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9cyf-4CIZw

I managed to disable the bootloader image which the kernel loads...

so the starting image is a part of the boot loader only, for which i have no guts to try and change :D

so its like 1(logo by bootloader loaded by bootloader)+2(logo by bootloader loaded by kernel)...

i managed to disable 2...and replace it with that screen and progress bar...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Congratulations !

:)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
so your mysteries are done or still searching for more answers?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
for now that'a all folks ! :D

But if you find a way to load a personnal logo from kernel ... it will be great. :)

(I imagine your logo is part of your kernel)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
yup, it is a part of the kernel...and i am not sure, if there can be a way to load it separately like bootanimation.zip...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
i too got it working(with a lot of help from dharam :D (TY DUDE))

i too think its not possible to load a file like bootanimation but the process to make the file needed can be simplified
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
i think this logo file has to be either directly in kernel, or at least in initramfs, because it should be displayed before the filesystem is initialized, am i right dharam?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Yes it is directly inside the kernel in a "C header" file which has all the hexadecimal values for the complete image(each pixel) i think...not even a proper image format...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] BeriCud:
Is it possible have it progress bar after samsung logo appear ? I think it will be usable to know how long takes our phone boot up... Maybe is it stupid question but I don´t know anything about compile kernel or other things about develop I only think that can be usable for people who flash some rom and boot up takes many time... Sorry for my english
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
you mean during boot animation?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ABD3Fs:
So, guys, just a question...it is possible to change this the logo.png file? I say the black init screen with the GT-I5800 word, not the samsung bootanimation.

On my old htc magic(sapphire) it was possible with a tool that create a .nbh file and flash it with fastboot, but samsung don´t has fastboot, and in odin it looks like it don´t works.

Thanks in advance.

My audio Jack is not producing sound out of the left channel unless I wiggle the wire or hold it in a certain direction.

I just made a Nandroid so im safe to restore when it gets back.

My question is, if I send it in rooted or modded in any way, do you think they will void my warranty? If so is there anyway to just hide root from them?

with nvflash you can flash both a custom rooted rom or a stock Asus rom.:)

Wow.

By far the most useful android tool I've ever come across. I thought I was forced to load a custom rom with it. Do many phones have this feature?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Normally this would belong in general, but right now the dev section is high-traffic thanks to the Rogers GB release and there is a lot of activity connected with the development effort on IRC.

Multiple devs here have received "why am I banned" PMs, and the threads here are cluttered with them.

We had a troll in the channel last night that was severely hampering development and testing efforts. The troll was using webchat and it seems that it is impossible to ban a webchat user effectively without outright banning ALL webchat users.

So if you are using webchat to access IRC, you will get a message that you are banned when attempting to enter #infuse4g on irc.freenode.net . As a result, you need to run a native IRC client on your machine such as xchat, Quassel, mIRC, irssi - the list of choices is quite long. Just not webchat.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] superweapons:
Make sure to register and identify your nickname so no one else can jack it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Thanks for the reminder.

To start the process, once in IRC:

"/msg nickserv register" - nickserv will msg you back with more details.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fredrick_Falcon:
The Atrix can't use 4G on tmobile.

Can the new roms with the unlocked bootloader change the radio frequencies to work with tmobile's network?

or

Is this a hardware problem?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
No unfortunately it is a hardware limitation.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Yep, the ATRIX radio doesn't have the band needed for T-Mobile 4g.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Are we sure it is hardware? The specs say qualcomm mdm6200 which via software (as per the qualcomm data sheets) is able to use umts 1700/2100 bands(ie AWS bands).

Let me grab the links.

Qualcomm data sheet. http://www.scribd.com/mobile/documents/54154049
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrogerw:
On the Qualcomm datasheet, I found frequencies beginning on page 111.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
I was reading the pin outs and that is where I determined that there are no seperate pins for AWS or well any band and so I would assume the frequency is baseband determined.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
If anyone is still looking. Pages 102 through 104 is interesting as it gives the pin outs that need to be programed in software for the correct bands. If anyone knows how to break open a radio firmware or program the radio that would allow us to get all bands working I think. This would also possibly allow for targeted radios that use less energy since they only rx/TX on the frequency that is available in that location.

I can acess to internet through the set and hav uninstalled "Viber" but still the problem remains.I cant format my phone as i cant access the menu or settings.My friend is using "viber" in his android LG set and he has no problems.I think its a virus in my internal memory.How can i solve this problem.If not how can I format my phone without opening the menu or the settings.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Bringing firefox to wp7 (wince build)

- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org//firefox/releases/3.6rc1/

In the ftp there is a wince-arm build & source code. We do have c++ full access (compile, run, call, etc); where the whole firefox runs from within "taskhost.exe" (COM+) instead of the "firefox.exe" (due we cant launch our own exe's).

As of we have now (The Dllimport Project):

[ComImport, Guid("F0D5AFD8-DA24-4e85-9335-BEBCADE5B92A"), ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class FileSystemClass { }

[ComImport, Guid("2C49FA3D-C6B7-4168-BE80-D044A9C0D9DD"), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
public partial interface IFileSystemIO { ... }

- It would look something like this in the "fiinixfox" :P :

[ComImport, Guid("F0D5AFD8-DA24-4e85-9335-BEBCADE5B92A"), ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class FirefoxClass { }

[ComImport, Guid("2C49FA3D-C6B7-4168-BE80-D044A9C0D9DD"), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
public partial interface IFirefox { Start(string args) }

- Yep, one method "Start", which actually imitates the "mozilla.exe" exe entry point 0x00400000 (standard entry point address).

- Then from there taskhost is just a "host" with as little Silverlight code as possible (best if just App.xaml) (no MainPage.xaml, MainPage is actually started from App.xaml) (or no Silverlight at all).

We do have the full source (3.6) (wince-arm), so there is not much preventing us to replace (hehe) IE9.

Well, as said before, im on vocation and i don't have my desktop (just my phone :P), so this is just speculations witch i will compile later on bringing "fiinixfox" to Microsoft Windows "locked down" Phone :)

Hope it sounds good :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] singularity0821:
Oh that sounds totally awesome! :eek: Can't wait!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stan2:
FF isn't the most mobile friendly in term of optimization and performance. You would have to do a lot of backend work to make it 'usable' on any ARM device. I hope you can get some blessing from mozilla, but most of them are anti-microsoft. So good luck with your effort.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Ever heard about fennec?

The mobile version of firefox produced and optimized by Mozilla themselves :)

ARMvX wince compatible.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] diboze:
i remember fennec being awfully slow and crashing :x
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Relief2010:
And Fennec is the crappiest browser ever made. I am more interested in what Opera has to offer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
On what device?

Did that device have 1GHz, 500MB ram~?

__

It probably crashed alot due incapability or unstable code, a browser does not just crash randomly if its valid code through out the whole program (valid method pointers)

- Invalid method pointers: Static compiled dll reference (method ptr) that is pointing to wrong ram method (due wrong ".lib" - contains the ptr's). = Crash
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Is opera even open source?

From what i have read/searched its closed source :/

To be able to run any "other" browser i must have full source code.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Your idea sounds interesting, but we still have this Mango COM Block problem to solve without going back to NoDo. I'm wondering what the authors of TouchXplorer & Co will do about that.

Yet another problem is that Win CE was more like Windows as we know it from the Desktop. Point and Click, Hold Click for right click and so on. I doesn't exactly know how we can refit Firefox for newer Touch Devices with Gesture and Multitouch support. Wouldn't it not be easier, if we just use the rendering engine from Firefox and port it to an Silverlight app? Guess this won't work due to some WP7 limitations and we would end up rewriting it completely?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Aaron McCarthy:
Opera is said to be releasing an official browser for WP7. They announced that a month ir so ago. I assume it will coincide with the release of Mango
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] day2die:
Actually, Opera did not said that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] day2die:
Currently, the only two are available with source code.

Firefox for Windows CE: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/WindowsCE

and

WebKit for Windows CE: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WinCE

Seems pike the rumors got you; turned out to be "False alarm".

> At the bottom: false alarm (also "next week we will see opera" < did never happen

Microsoft have protected their phone to only run IE :/

They don't want competitor's

- Only way is homebrew, sry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] day2die:
fiinix, I am wondering if it will be easier to port Firefox for CE or WebKit for CE to Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
There is full touch support and multitouch support due some wm6 had touch screens :)

Mango.. yeah.. Im currently still running NoDo due i hate block. But im perfectly fine.

I did actually find a possible interop bypass in Mango (fake marketplace, OEM hijack)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Webkit is also a possible but i havent looked at it yet; maybe port Google Crome? :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] day2die:
No, I mean WebKit was already ported to CE: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WinCE

It's also the base for Isis Browser.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Yeah i know Webkit is already ported to CE; Chrome uses it too and combined it makes Chrome super fast if it would be used on WP7 (CE).

Well we cant only have Webkit, we need a Javascript engine too (witch google is combined with (V8 JS engine) + built in Webkit).

Maybe Chrome or Firefox, both are c++ and open source :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Useless guy:
Prooflink?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmelugin:
I wouldn't mind seeing Opera for WP7 - mainly because I was always impressed with the combination of speed, stability, and functionality it produces on other platforms (in particular WM6.x). Dolphin would be interesting as well.

As a Mango user, however, I must say I am thoroughly impressed at the speed and stability mobile IE9 produces (in beta, no less). At release it will undoubtedly be the superior mobile browser on the market.

And oh yeah, Firefox is buggy crap - in any form.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
I recently got mine and I will leave a review on it on this thread in a week or so. Apparently the battery gets better and better if you charge it right, after about a week. That and I have a couple programs I'm trying, to correctly recalibrate it. Battery Left widget, Battery Monitor, which measures it by mAv rather than regularly. And Battery Calibrator, which deletes the battery file in the phone, and remakes it. I have the most hope in that one. Can anyone else give a review on a good program to CORRECTLY calibrate this battery?
[Streak 5 Accessories] aderickus:
i purchased one of these myself a while ago and unless quality has improved, i was hugely disapointed for the cost

the 2 internal elements of the battery are 'stuck together' with a black tape style surround. This causes after some use of separate device charging ( charging in a charger and not the phone ) the battery to lose its shape causing the streak to think a battery is not present

the life of the battery itself is good, but the.g
[Streak 5 Accessories] aderickus:
but the general quality of the product is very poor

the back case, with plastic clips is also useless after some use

these clips break, simple as

even the ebay ones of a lesser power have backs with metal clips on

mugen, im afraid i cant recommend your product, simple as
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
The 4800mAh one doesn't have a clip. And the only thing I don't like about this battery is the fact that the cover is plastic. But I'm in love with the battery itself. I've done everything I can to make it die. Streak's overclocked to 1.2gHz. Backlight's up. Bluetooth is on. Wifi is on. Even been playing music a -lot-. It's been off a charger for 83 hours.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
Update. The same thing I love with this battery, I also hate. The instructions said to charge to 100%, let it die, and repeat for about the first 5 charges. I haven't been able to do this, and I -have- to charge it tonight. I don't even know what percent it's at, which is driving me crazy... I'm literally trying to get the battery to die... This is a mere annoyance, for now, though... I'm sure I'll get used to it... I'll just charge it every 3 days, or something.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
My battery JUST died! Lol....Atleast 60 hours of use, with atleast 10 hours of playing music...
[Streak 5 Accessories] djscopesofm:

[Streak 5 Accessories] Streakin:
60 freakin hours? Crazy stuff! Tempted to also get one.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
My first charge was over 86 hours.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I see that all the Mugen Extended battery posts are from August so I have to wonder if the battery issue has been fixed. When I got my battery it would give me 3-4-5 days .. then as soon as I upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.2 I would get a low battery warning long before my battery was used up. I had to remove the battery and turn it back on for the warning message to go away. Besides that being a pain in the butt, you have to be VERY VERY careful to not break the plastic clips .. I could get by with one broken off but sometimes the phone would shut off .. so ... Are you all not getting the low battery warning ?? I contacted Mugen often and they couldn't figure out the problem. they said the problem was with Dell and Dell wouldn't tell them how to fix it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
Well, on my last charge, I got the low battery warning after 3 days...You have to delete the battery stats file then charge it to 100% and let it die. It calibrates it a bit better, atleast.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
I have read other posts that state that these extended batteries use a pack that actually contains two batteries and that power cycling the phone when it gets to or near zero causes the battery meter to properly read it after it has switched to the second battery.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bequi:
Where can I order one? Thanks.

[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I bought mine when they first arrived at Mugen. I don't remember how long ago that was but I was posting daily my battery status. Probably a year ago. I think I got 4 days. Not heavy usage. I was on T-Mobile Edge. That was before I upgraded from 1.3 to 2.1 or whatever it was. IMMEDIATELY the Streak could no longer read the battery. It isn't really 2 batteries hooked together .. or maybe it is .. there is the part of the battery that fits in where the original battery goes and then the rest of the battery is the size of the cover .. but thin .. Any way .. It would tell me that I needed to re-charge, but all I had to do was remove the battery and replace it and get more life from the battery. Still .. it never felt as long having to remove and replace. If I remember correctly - resetting the Streak didn't do the job, the battery needed to come out. It was a pain because the cover isn't metal and the little clips are plastic .. BE VERY CAREFUL removing the cover. Mugen will replace the cover but it sucks having to treat it so gently.

Whatever ... in the end. NO PROBLEMS with the original 1.3 version .. THAT could read the life of the battery correctly. I thought by now one of the XDA people would have come up with a fix. I think I won't buy another until there is a fix. If you have to constantly take it out and put it back, may as well have 2 of the regular batteries. Then you don't have to worry about that CHEAP plastic back cover.

I found this post of mine from BEFORE I UPGRADED to 2.2 ..

at 10th November 2010

"Today has been 72 hours since I unplugged it from the charger and I am at 58% .. I am not going to put it on the charger until it won't start !!"

I don't know where I posted after that ... but I know I got at least another day.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
Well, they tell you on the site that it won't read the battery correctly.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
Mugen didn't know that it wouldn't read the battery until people started complaining after the 2.2 upgrade. I know this because I was one of the first to buy the battery and the first to get upset after I upgraded.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
Well...If you've ever used Battery Dr., they calculate how long you can use music, video, 3g, wifi, etc. And since this is approximately 3x as powerful as the regular battery (Mugen says 3.14x) I just extended the times to calculate, by 3x.
[Streak 5 Accessories] procupine14:
Cool to see people having success with this.....I think I'm going to spring for the 1800 mAh battery from Mugen and see how it works. Not really into having a flimsy extended case for my phone. Even though multiple day charges would be nice, I'm just looking to make it through 10-12 hours.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
The 1800 isn't even worth it. And the clips on the 4800s back won't break if you pay attention. It also provides decent grip. I haven't dropped the phone since I got it, opposed to dropping it atleast 20 times, with the Otterbox on it/in the clip.
