a similar problem

I apologize that almost i can't speak English, I have a problem like everyone .. But the problem is that I haven't the kernel sources .. I have a sources of driver from 2.3.6, can anybody help to modify them for ICS 4.0 (sdk15) and modify into .ko module? or.. maybe anyone know another solution? IDC is 100% impossible?

thanks in advance..

I tryed to fix it for 5 days .. Once the touchscreen was fixed for 5 minutes, and I do not know how i did it, because i did a lot a lot of modifications .. I

think it was fixed by me when i set the 777 permissions on /dev/input ..

I flashed firmware without fixes and changed permissions.. But touchscreen is not working .. and now I can not remember, what i done..

now i pushed "adb shell sendevent" into commandline .. and it's not working too.. is that is normal? getevent show me only physical touch... and android not perceives any..

Unsimilar problem

Hi, since you seem to know a lot about importing a driver. Could you tell me is it possible to make zip so I could totally disable my driver. My screen got damaged and I'm using a bluetooth mouse to control it, but now it's showing phantom touches on the screen so watching videos or dealing books has become next to impossible... Thanks

hi [MENTION=2570969]tj_style[/MENTION] .. can you help us with a similar problem here.. The touchscreen fix would further help us develop/debug the kernel for the XPeria Play. all the development is on halt because we cannot get the 3.x kernel working for it.

[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Please excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't know much about these kinds of topics.

I wanted to know if anybody could be kind enough to explain the dangers and negatives of an overclocked CPU and an undervolted kernel?

I know their benefits because of some research I did, but I could never find a concrete answer explaining the negatives and dangers.

I've heard some horror stories of overheating handsets that get so hot that internal components fry, heard about damaged radios that need to be replaced, and loss of signal. But I'm not entirely sure if those instances are correlation instead of causation.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[HTC Sensation] Mastacheata:
The general issue that applies to both modifications is that you are using the chips outside their specifications. Their whole behavior might no longer be as expected.

This is usually happening at such low level and in a so small range that it doesn't affect normal use.

Overclocking will definitely produce more heat. That's why people that overclock pcs to insane levels use non-standard cooling like dry ice or even liquid nitrogen.

As you can't change the way your phone will transport heat, there's only very limited room for overclocking.

The phone is designed to switch itself off if it gets too hot, however this is not something one should rely on.

Not sure about any specific risks of undervolting, but the general issues will definitely apply. Noone can guarantee for stuff to work as expected when you run components outside the specifications, as they were tested to run safe only inside the specs as supplied by the manufacturer.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It can cause permanent CPU damage which can lead to you bricking your phone, but the chances of that aren't that great. Usually if you undervolt too much, your phone will just reboot.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Stability is the biggest issue. It can put the components too far out of their comfort zone.
[HTC Sensation] brannos99:
Unstable, unexpected behaviour and/or (in very strange cases drastically) reduced life expactancy. However, if you do undervolt your cpu, the only/main issue becomes unstable.

In my experience (lot of pc overclocking), you will notice when your material can't keep up with the settings and if you change it (back), no problems will occur.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
So would you say it's worth the risk to flash a ROM that has an overclocked CPU and undervolted kernel? I'm so scared to damage my device :(
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Yes I would, in a way the lower voltage cancels out the higher voltage, and even produces less heat overall. There are no dangers of undervolting AFAIK, saving battery is good, although if you set the volt extremely low the phone will freeze up. Devs put the volt at a good level but most of the time you can lower it by a notch or increase it for no reason. If this phone ever gets 2GHz clock that would be a danger to run at, because the voltage would be insane. :D

Does the captivate or any of the kernals support init.rc? If so how do I enable it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
I don't know what init.rc is, but several of the custom kernels use init.d in them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmokey:
Init.rc Is the file IN the kernel that tells the system what directories to make, how to mount them, what services to run and sets various system parameters. In other words every kernel has init.rc in it. If it didn't the phone wouldn't be able to boot.

I believe you are referring to init.d in your op though which most modified kernels do have enabled as the previous poster said.

Hello

I recently acquired a nook color and i am going to install cynogen mod 7.1 and google apps from clock work recovery method, but i want to overclcok to 1.2 or 1.3 ghz, i understand that cynogen mod has an overclock facility built in, the part i am not sure about is to reach 1.2 ghz or 1.3 ghz do i have to use dalingrin overclock kernel to achieve these speeds, or is it possible in cynogen mod 7.1 without the kernel.

Any info would be appreciated.

[Nook Color General] Colchiro:
It appears the GPU may run best at 1200, even thou the CPU can do up to 1300.
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
It certainly seems to be true that going past 1200 can slow down graphic intensive operations. I am guessing that's probably because the graphics processor has to run at a ratio of the CPU and going past 1200 ends up with a lower graphics frequency.

But depending on the type of applications used there can be benefit in going higher and most Nooks seem to be capable of 1350. This can be seen in two different benchmarks. Quadrant gives significantly higher scores at 1350 than 1200 whilst the graphically more intensive Nenamark is slower at 1350 then 1200.

I ended up using 1200 anyway as it feels fast and probably also helps with battery life.

Check the voltage settings as well as these can normally be lowered a bit to help again with battery life. I use the one's originally quoted by Dal and don't have any stability issues. ( 09.25 / 1.05 / 1.2 / 1.275 / 1.325)
[Nook Color General] swaaye:
I did a comparison of 1200 and 1350 MHz with the Sunspider JavaScript bench. 1350 is faster but frankly I have a hard time telling the difference between even stock clock and 1350 in actual practical usage. ;)

The most obvious speed boost I've found is running 16bit color. Big difference in browser scrolling performance.
[Nook Color General] GuTsaV:
Is overclocking it fully safe?
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
From the standpoint that breathing in a metropolitan area is not fully safe, no it is not.

I use the stepper built-in to 7.1 stable and have never given it a second thought.
[Nook Color General] bionicmonkey:
Try nook color tweaks.
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
I have run at 1200 / 1350 for the last 4 months and it has been stable and I have not seen any real detectable difference in battery performance or in how warm the device gets. The governor means that a lot of the time the Nook is running at lower clock speed anyway.

I don't recollect seeing any reports of damage on this forum to the Nook through over-clocking. Increasing voltages from the stock values on the other hand is probably not a good idea. There may possibly be longer term effects from overclocking but I'd guess the effect on lifetime is small enough that most people will have changed their device before it is significant.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Being that Nooks CPU is underclocked by default. It is very safe.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Don't know how it works in your country. But in Sweden we can take broken things like phones on our home insurance if you have a further addition to it that's called "blunderhead" insurance. Then if you drop and brake the phone or something you can take it on the insurance. But not just for some bad sectors ;)

So you would have to be illegal to pull it off somehow I guess and manage to get the whole phone replaced. But as I said don't know how it works in your country.

It would be illegal to take insurance out after the device is damaged, then claim on the insurance. It's called insurance fraud :p

1. Download the apps you want and place them onto your SD card.

2. Open Root Explorer.

3. Find the old apps, delete them or copy and paste them somewhere safe.

4. Reboot? (I did).

5. Open up Root Explorer again.

6. Click sdcard.

8. Click Multi-select.

9. Check the apps you want.

10. Click copy.

I just wanted to say wassup to every one. I am new here from the Evo 4g forums. I loved the evo 4g but got a chance to pick up a motorola photon for real cheap and I didn't have to sign a new contract. I am in love with this phone only wish it had more dev working on it but I know things will pick up soon.

this seems to be the fastest phone I ever owned. My cousin has an atrix with att, and I think my photon is faster.

The first day I got it I had some friends over and I was playing Galaxy on fire, one of my friends asked me what I was playing and I showed him, I then hooked up the photon to an HDTV that was like 22 inches. I started playing on TV and all my friends were jealous.

They said the games are the best graphics they'd ever seen on a phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
jami1:

i moved from the original evo to the photon a few months ago and i haven't looked back.

not as active of a dev community because the bootloader hasn't been unlocked without side effects.

i suspect once that's resolved it will get much busier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jami1:
I know there is a few things I am confused about though, one of them being that this is a tegra 2 device it should be able to play any game. I am also confused that I know chainfire 3d is used for devices that do not have tegra 2 SOC's but want to play the tegra 2 optimized games. Do I need to install chainfire3d to run non-tegra games?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah, this phone is quick, and super smooth. Our kernels we have are smooth, fast and stable. Way better than the Evo. And the Dev support we have is amazing. They're super helpful and they keep up to date as best they can. I dig it.

As for Evo vs Photon, it's no contest, Photon wins hands down. But welcome to the community.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Welcome. Like you and many others, I came from the EVO and being an HTC fan, didn't think I could appreciate any other manufacturer. But since having the Photon - I've learned to really love the quality of this phone. It has all the best features of the EVO and then some....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Eguy:
My thoughts exactly when I made the switch. I never thought I could love a Moto phone and much as my old RAZR. The Photon is great, although I have noticed the EVO's front camera was WAY better than the Photon's crappy VGA camera. It's a shame this phone hasn't received the explosion of attention the GSII, EVO 3D, and EVO 4G received, it is by far a better phone. I do like that we can have root without unlocking the bootloader too :D.

I too came from the EVO...I would not of stuck with that phone if it was not for all the roms and kernels...seriously doubled my battery life and ran smoother

Out of the box my photon runs great way better battery life vs the custom EVO

The photon is a very refined supercharged EVO....once the base ground work is worked out im sure we will see some really cool dev work...their is a bounty on the bootloader ..looks like yay4juggs is getting closer to a solution

Anywho welcome to the forums
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I never really got into modding my Evo. I couldn't figure it out and didn't know about XDA at the time, so I was kinda assed out. And I can understand three ROM's and a couple kernels to improve things. But are 40 different ROM's necessary? That's all I'm sayin'. There are three ROM's here. No CM7 or MIUI yet, but still, that should keep people happy, plus we have more kernel updates rollin' out.
