I had added the latest Voodoo sound in the last test build, the sound Quality was horrid & echo to bad on speaker phone. ( This is since I updated to the Latest Sound Drivers )

not how I remember voodoo sound & I would have gotten to many complaints by leaving it in. Why not Use DSP Manager?

Exceptional Battery Life

This is literally the best kernal out their for CM7. I typically get around 12-16 hours of heavy use. I am always using wifi no gps or bluetooth and get really good battery. I really hope you dont add vodoo color to this already great kernal. I think it will ruin it. It makes the screen look like your cat pissed on it :) . Anyways i have one question...would anybody know how to replace the boot image (the southpark logo) at the beginning? Im really not the biggest southpark fan and was just wondering if it would be possible to replace the image with another of my choice.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Are you able to tune colors in the device setting section in latest CM7 nightly on this latest kernel? If so I might try it again.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Tested without Voodoo Sound and the sound got worse, very noticeable with high-end earphones. I for one don't use the speakerphone and would've loved a choice as stable as this kernel but with Voodoo Sound...oh well. Thanks for the experience and I hope Voodoo Sound gets back someday. Back to Froyo.

I don't know why or what I'm missing but I can't GPS to get a consistent lock. I've flashed everything I can think of to help out the GPS and still nothing.

Currently running nightly 153 of CM7 with EB5 kernal (The 11/4 update )

I have flashed the GPS fixes (both the newgpsd and the nogpsd varients )

I installed angry GPS in order to assist and that kind of helped it got me a lock with around 100 ft accuracy (I cried a native American tear of joy ) but no luck since

Before anyone tells me my GPS is faulty, I have had locks on froyo accurate to within 10-15 ft and a few of the same on earlier CM7 nightlies.

I'm ripping my hair out over this cause I know I'm doing the right things for it and nothing wants to catch.

Could someone please advise what I should do.

I flashed this from a neo kernel on MIUI. The lowest setting for brightness seems brighter than the neo kernel. I have customized the sensor values in auto brightness and there's no change in brightness until it hits between 25 and 30. So, it seems this kernel's lowest brightness setting is where the other kernel was at 25-30. Is this because of the new driver?
[Vibrant Android Development] JediDru:
With EB5 I get 16 ft accuracy in <30 secs indoors! Crazy good job Eugene.

I think part of your problem guys is that you are applying the other fixes on top of this. My GPS is as bare as Cartmans ass. Omfgb plus this ftmfw!
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Regarding GPS!!!

I Know there is issue with GPS, but lets face it, if it's not hanging & making the phone not sleep we are in Good shape!

With the Current Kernel Posted, GPS ( GPS TEST ) Can hang for over a minute making it look like GPS stalled!!!! Give it a total 2 minutes before calling it quiets on gps ( Most case gps stalls on maps ).

Brightness Question>

yes, the setting is 20 & not 25, I cant lower this if people would like?

All feedback is good feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll support what everyone thinks is best in this kernel! All suggestions are welcome....

~Eugene
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
Thanks for the quick response. My vote would be to lower the brightness. As it is, I rarely (if ever) put the vibrant screen over 50-60% brightness. There is plently of room on the high end and sometimes the lowest setting is too much.

Overall, a great kernel, thanks for the hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] murse:
I've been testing 3 different kernels on MIUI Lithium and this one has the best GPS by far. It's better than what I had on 2.2. Excellent!
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
Thanks for a great kernel Eugene.

If you have the time, I would like to have Voodoo Sound back, the version used in the earlier kernels seemed to work well.

Or, at least make the kernel compatible with Voodoo Control so those who wish to can load the sound drivers through the app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Carlos1970:
EB5 has fixed my GPS!

Running CM 7.1.0.1 and KB5 radio, no GPS patches or fixes of any kind.

With EB5 I get GPS locks in less than 90 secs. And Google maps is finally picking it up.

Btw, no wifi location assistance.

Thanks Eugene!

I bought a new s2 which looks to be european because the box and manual are in french. i live in canada and i put my sim card in it and the reception bars icon in the status bar keeps showing that im roaming. i've made a few calls and everything works fine but i think the phone thinks its supposed to be in europe.

Hey guys plz help me fast i was using mik's cm7 6.5.8 yesterday at night i switched off my phone now today at the morning when i tried to switch it on it showed 0% charge then shut down now when i try to charge it its stuck on the grey lg logo after leaving it for an hour also it is not working even after tryting to reboot its happening.when i booted it into emergency mode it was booting but my phone cannot b detected by my pc to use kdz plz guys help.....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
after u plug the charger, switch on and go to custom recovery, leave it for half hour and then reboot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
you didn't understood when i plug the charger it turns itself on rather than charging and i can't boot into recovery either only emergency mode can be done
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thachtunganh:
I understood your problem, the fastest way is using LGMDP ( the Russian's LG P500 tool help us to flash baseband ) flash the baseband that your phone is having. EX:

Now your phone have the old baseband , so you just go to LGMDP , choose your phone , and then flash the old baseband .... It should be get out of emergency mode. If the LGMDP Freeze when it's flashing the baseband , you have to use the Task Manager on Windows ( Ctrl + Alt + Delete ) , it should show up the task manager or a board that have the "start task manager" line and you have to click that line. After open the task manager on windows, see on the top, click on the "Processes" Tab , and then find the "LGMDP.exe" and then click on "End Process" :D. And start LGMDP again :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] s0v3r3ign69:
Maybe you should return to the default 2.3.3 and stop using experimental os-es!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
@thachtunganh my phone is not detected by pc even after i flashed cm7(this is bull$#!T)

@s0v3r3ign69 i am never gonna do dat...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
Hope this might work for u:

1.plug in charger to ur phone without switching plug on.

2.keep vol down and home butoon pressed and then turn on charger(with buttons pressed).

3.Then u should enter into recovery mode.

4.then do fresh install of this rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
nope its not working yet...

but now i can say i have charged the battery by some exteranal source now the problem is that my phone is still not booting up(Its stays on the first Grey LG Logo) neither its detected by my pc in emergency mode....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
cant u enter recovery mode???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
i can but my phone is not detected by my pc...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
In recovery,enter mass storage mode and ur phone will be detected.Then copy zip file of rom and flash it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ndmuni:
I dun know if this helps i had mine stuck in emergency mode no matter what i did when i power up after the lg logo it goes into emergency mode n also not recognise by pc so i use the kdz updater and instead of DIAG i set it in emergency and i updated stock rom and it works of course i rooted it straight away ...hope u had yr problem solved by the time u read this cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ndmuni:
Sorry i forgpt remove yr battery when u connect to pc and just before the kdz finishes insert yr battery done
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
If you can boot into custom recovery then y dont you flash mik's rom 6.5.8 again over the present one without erasing anything, try it your problem might be solved
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
i can boot into only emergency and there is some problem with my phone's usb port whenever i flash any unofficial rom its not detected by my pc anymore....

and guys if my phone was ever detected by my pc i could have used kdz by now cause i have flashed more than 30 times using that and 4 times to unbrick my phone yet....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
In recovery go to mounts and storage and in the select mount USB and boom ur phone will be detected in PC:-) now u can reflash the rom after copying the file to sd..remove to wipe everything befpre u do that !!:-)enjoy! N press thanks..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thachtunganh:
WTF? ..... i think your PC have the problems.... check the driver in device manager....

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

What are you talkinh about? the PC can not detected his phone , it mean this problem is causing by the driver on PC or his phone... and what can mount usb can do, the option mounts usb mass storage doesn't help anything , it just can like mount usb mass storage when your phone is on....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
i have reisntalled all the driver again but its not wokring yet buti think its time to goto the F**king service center **** this i cannot even flash a official rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
dude

you can enter into emergency mode right??

so restart your phone(press power button+volume up+back button and enter into emergency mode)

then in kdz instead of DIAG select Emergency/CS_Emergency

and try

it should work!!:)

EDIT:going through the above posts looks like your phone's USB port isnt working

maybe its better you give the phone to LG for repair :/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
What do u mean,his battery is charged man.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jwilli25:
Find another charger win u leave in your computer it wont reconize it till its on.o the charger might be to weak to charge from dead try another then reconnect
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:

[Android Apps and Games] cat.elevator:
You shouldn't need S-off for non-htc devices.

Your device should be rooted for the old market to work though.

You can try going into settings>applications>manage apps then search for Market then choose uninstall updates. That should get you back to the original version

And, thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it (:

If the apps are uploaded to the market in a particular language there's nothing you can do about that but try Setting->long press T-Mobile(us)->Set fake provider now.

I'm on Virgin Mobile...not T-Mobile...i see in many posts to do that Settings>T-Mobile>Set fake provider now, but I'm not understanding how to do this. Do i go into the old market, then press the menu button to access settings? I'm so confused.

Can't increase RAM, and CM7 is 99% fully developed only thing left is camera flash.
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
512MB RAM is good, no reason to expand it by swap or something else.
[HTC Wildfire S] kp.nikhil:
tat 1% is oly important 2 me...hope it is fixed soon....512 ram in tat 250 is always occupied
[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
are you talking about RAM or system flash memory? both start at 512mb but both go down quite a lot. RAM ends up about 300 before boot and about 200 after everything's running. System memory goes down to about 70 with stock ROM and about 120 with a cleaned out ROM, but drops by about 40mb just from syncing contacts and gmail, etc.

data2sd or another similar app let's you have up to 2gb of system flash memory. Remember these are completely different from RAM. you can't really increase the ram.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tectas:
The only way to 'expand' your ram would be a swap partition on your sd, but this isn't the best way, because it's damn slow and should only be used as fallback within alert situations. I also don't know if sense roms support it.

Swyped from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
What obvious reasons to use swap in this device? Which app consumes whole system memory? Any ROM with plenty widgets fired on gives 200MB free ...
[HTC Wildfire S] kp.nikhil:
im talking about the RAM...200 is always occupied...250 is free after killing all the unwanted apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h_r_j:
Have any of you app developers faced this situation: You have an app that needs to download data from the Internet, but don't want to add the Internet permission to your application, because it may deter some users from installing the app. Moreover, the data may be large and may need to be saved to the SD card, which requires yet another permission. You also need to ensure that a network is available currently, which means more permissions (WiFi state, etc).

Here's my proposed solution: A URL fetch service

This will be a simple app which accepts URL fetch requests from other applications and fetches them (HTTP GET) from the internet as a background service. Upon completion, the data can be returned to the application as a byte stream.

Since this is based on a callback, the network need not be currently available. The service will (optionally) queue the request and fetch whenever a network is available.

Another useful feature would be avoiding duplicate requests. For example, an app may want to fetch some data periodically, say every two hours. But if the network is not available for two days, then only one request should be made when the network becomes available, not 50! This could be done by letting the app assign a unique id to the request. Requests that have the same id will over-write other requests from the same app with the same id.

Logging and Filtering

From the user point of view, there is tremendous advantage in having a centralized URL Fetcher, because she will be able to Log the requests that go through it, and also filter some requests. For example, she could filter an app that she doesn't want to be updated (for whatever reason).

Distribution:

The app will be open-source and made available on all App markets and also as a direct APK download.

The only hurdle to this idea that I can see is that the app will have to be installed separately by the user. The problem will be reduced over time as more and more apps use this service. So the chances of the app being already present will increase. Also, custom ROMs might pre-package this app, so it will be present by default.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
For an app like that, you are not going to be able to not allow the internet permission. It needs it to fetch the URL (from the internet) so it has to use it... Unless you have a huge database of all URL's stored on your sd card :rolleyes::p.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h_r_j:
Yes indeed. The fetch service app will have the Internet permission, and the read/write to SD card permission. The idea is to reduce the number of entities that the user has to trust.

And since the service app will be open-source, the user can compile her own version and install it. In that case, she doesn't even have to trust anyone else.

I have put up a tentative project and have some working code already in my local repository. If you would like to follow the progress or would like to contribute, here's the GitHub link:

Hello

I have problem after install new official 2.3.4 rom KH3 and KH1. No 3g connection

When i try add NEW APN i have crash window SORRY: process com.android.settings force closed.

I already try trick with APN backup and restore , no changes. :(.

Phone now CSC XEU. before it was 2.3.3 it MOT (unlocked and rooted )and modem BUKG1

any help ,maybe root and some operations with files ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tino001:
Hi Filant,

I was having same problem. Getting error on clicking on ADD apn. Would loose APN everytime I switch phone off, and be unable to add APN !! Only solution was a factory reset and not switching phone off...

Phone is galaxy s2. Problem started on updating firmware to 2.3.4.

The solution I found is to go into applications and find app simtoolkit. Force stop this and then go back into your APN settings and it should work. You may need to turn data - Use Packet Data on and off, and possibly manually select the network operator. Have lost track of exactly how these were set.

I guess my problem is that I have a very old SIM card (8yrs plus).

Hope this works for you as well - it was driving me crazy

Hi Tino, Hi Filant, I have started to face the same problem (APN error / completely lost 3G data) right after upgrading from 2.3.4. to firmware 2.3.5, the information mentioned on Tino's post was really very helpful, I think i'm half way there to solve the problem.

although I restored my phone to factory settings (that was before reading the post), same problem occurred after the first reboot. the question now, do i have to contact my network operator and change the SIM card as i think it is also quite old, will this help in solving the problem, i'm really bothered, i was having hell of problems with S1 and now hard times with S2, gonna lose my mind, and i would like to know what you have done both to overcome this issue

Hello

I just stumbled over this document: micro-modular.com/docs/AddlRsrc/GSD4e OSP Manual (CS-129291-DC-9).pdf

So, for example on site 119 for example you can see that it is possible to disable the static navigation filter by sending the corresponding Payload Sequence to the SirfIV chipset. The only question which remains is "how can we send these strings to the chipset".

And this is the point where we need some really brilliant XDA developers. If someone would manage to open the communication way to the sirf IV chipset, it would be possible to reconfigure this chipset totaly free.

At the beginning it can be a really simple tool where you have to enter the Start sequence, payload and end sequence which should be send manually. This would be good enough. But the biggest part will be to find a way to communicate with the GPS chipset. Maybe someone knows some good tools to find out how to communicate with the GPS chipset.

I'm very curious on your suggestions.

Best regards,

Chris
[Galaxy S II General] segelfreak2:
And here we can see what static navigation is doing with our tracks. On the right side I was running (high speed) and on the left side I was walking (slow speed). You can see that the static navigation feature freezes the track if you do not move very wide within approx. 30 seconds and releases the freeze if you moved a certain distance. This continues until you are moving at higher speeds.

To generate the tracks the original NMEA data from the SirfIV GPS chipset was dumped every second.

Because of the zoom level you can not see every timestamp, but there IS a trackpoint every second. While at higher speeds they are aligned along the track (right side) the are lying at exactly the same place during the freeze on the left track.

Best regards,

Chris
[Galaxy S II General] segelfreak2:
Maybe an interesting place to search for is the file:

/system/lib/hw/gps.s5pc210.so

Inside this you will find strings like:

MI_SetStaticNav

NL_GetStaticNavMode

NL_SetStaticNavMode

NL_Get_StaticNav_Status

NL_GetStaticNavMode_NL3

NL_SetStaticNavMode_NL3

NL_StaticNav

MI_GetStaticNav

StaticNav: %s3SV

NL_SetStaticNavMode()

NL_StaticNav()

Seems to be interesting.

Best regards,
