Okee but how do u know what string data to write to change productcode to baaxen? (trying to learn / understand)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
You don't need to memorise or know what code to write.

You can use this online hexadecimal editor.

Open the link, and paste the value you wish to convert to hex.

Example, to convert GT-S8500BAAXEN.

Just copy GT-S8500BAAXEN into the upper column of the page, and press Convert.

The value 47542d533835303042414158454e will display at the bottom column.

Any idea for S8600 Product Codes? Especially for :

I've tried GT-S8600HKATPL, but this seems wrong...

GT-S8600??????
S8600BOKJ1 (SW Version)
S8600TPLKJ1 (CSC Version)

Confirmed, because downloadable

[B]GT-S8600HKAXEF[/B] (France)

I managed to connect to revskills (after reinstalling twice) and updated succesfully to BAAXEN and Yes kies told me there was an update available. So now Im back in line with kies with the latest official firmware. Now waiting for samsungs update to bada 2.0 cause the beta versions were promissing!

Hello,

I have a Wave 3 S8600 that when connected to Kies in registry has the product code set to XXXXXXXXXXXXXX . I tried changing the product code in the registry but kies 2 is ignoring this it seems.

Do you know how can I change this using PST? I tried the steps described in first post but my phone doesn't have Usb DM/CP. It has:

1. USB DM []

2. UART [*]

3. USB ACM []

Upon setting the Usb DM and after that connecting to PC it doesn't do anything, QPST is not seeing any new port. According to kies registry should be on Com 13

I am using a Windows 7 32 bit.

Thanks

Is there any Qualcomm drivers for 64-bit copy of Windows ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
Thanks adfree, havent noticed that 0x2757 = 10071

Also it is possible to change

10072 (in revskills 0x2758) which is bada's NV_SI_PRODUCT_INFO_I

It's 2byte value, usually 0.

The rest of bada nvdata can't be changed using qualcomm nv editor, because only these 2 does synchronise between apps and amss.

Qualcomm standard Tools use DEC or HEX...

QPST is known with DEC ID... and QXDM uses HEX Value...

Then Read/Write protections...active/inactive Mode on off Security on off... blabla... :eek:

But maybe with S8600 we could revive this topic...

Hi all.

The issue has been

SOLVED

as of today (9 Nov), thanks to marc1706. He successfully identified a line in the kernel video drivers, which has completely eliminated the color banding from what I can see. There is no need for any other fix to be applied.

The thread for his kernel can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282435. Be sure to thank him for his wonderful work!

For kernel devs interested in applying to fix to current kernels, his commit can be viewed here: https://github.com/marc1706/cm-on-wince-htc/commit/dfe41d02cac454e3e58c583cd4fa0c0825160d1f.

Thanks for all the support guys, glad it's finally solved.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NRGZ28:
It's a great thread, but the kernel developers are already aware of this I'm sure :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Thanks for the compliment.

I'm sure they're aware of it, but possibly not aware of its solution. Hopefully this can serve as a general thread to discuss its solution for all devs to benefit from.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
One other thing - if anyone has any ideas of what the video incompatibility might be related to, please let me know and I'll play around with possible fixes.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mackj020:
Maybe this will help?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Thanks for the heads up.

I am aware of that post and I'm actually busy looking into it. The only problem with simply bringing the Desire libs over is that those libs are designed for Sense builds, so as sybryan12144 has mentioned, it will work for bringing those libs over to our Sense ports. The real problem is getting them working under AOSP builds. Shall take a further look never the less.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] consolation:
The easiest way I found to reduce colour banding is to set the DPI to 217, although that means losing a lot of apps in the market with my rom.

I don't think we can ever fully eliminate due to our 65k displays...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Contrary to popular belief, the color banding in Android is not necessarily due to a limitation of our 65k screens. Although the pictures in the OP are representing the fix for the notification pane only, there were no color banding issues that I could find anywhere in the ROM. It truly removed the issue completely.

If you'd like to test, you don't even have to reinstall your current ROM - just grab marc's 2.6.35 kernel, and warrenb123's 2.6.35 kernel. You should be able to install them over your current build, but you'll notice that warrenb123's kernel eliminates the color banding, probably due to the fact that it uses the Desire GPU driver. Marc's kernel, despite being a 2.6.35 kernel, does not solve this (yet).

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobiascrystal:
Try changing this in your build.prop...

debug.fb.rgb565=1

Works wonders for sense builds!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NRGZ28:
That only works if you already have the Desire kernel installed though...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobiascrystal:
I am using heiros kernel and it is working fine for me!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] consolation:
things like notification panes etc which have simple gradients can be nearly eliminated. But look at more complex ones eg photos of clouds. 65k is 65k and 'you cannae break the laws of physics.. .'
[HD2 Android NAND Development] famewolf:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268085
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
@consolation - no doubt, I agree with you. However maybe I should more clearly state that I am referring to the quality of ROM elements. 65k is 65k, and some gradients will be visible obviously, but the quality of ROM elements without the fix is somewhat disappointing.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
@famewolf - that doesn't truly solve the issue, nor does it work well with regards to ROM elements. Already tried it on typhoon, banding issue doesn't change in the notification pane at all.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
I belive that, as most android comming after 2.2 came with 250k+ colors, the gradient algo was not updated. Try this, on CM roms, add the music and the analog clock to your screen. Notice the heavy banding. Now, try to move them. Notice that a different algorithm is used whyle moving.

That algorith is probably used all the time on the gallery, solvind the banding issues.

That yellowish/blueish gradients on the background should suffer from the banding also.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Well put daedric. I am therefore assuming that this 'algorithm' then has been updated/fixed/implemented properly in the Desire GPU driver.

To everyone - I think what we need to understand here is that the issue exists, and it's main cause is directly related to the GPU driver. Yes, there are one or two things that possibly ease the issue (saturation fix and rgb565 flag in build.prop), but the proper, native fix lies somewhere in the Desire GPU driver. Now, seeing as I am not a kernel dev, I cannot pinpoint the cause/solution.

So, the main point that this thread should express is that the issue can be fixed, by applying the Desire 2.6.35 port. However what we are trying to achieve is using this port without breaking video/camera/camcorder compatibility.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
Might just be a simple setting. Let us remember that there are no HTC drivers for the HD2 in particular. We got everything from the Desire and probably the Nexus.

Now, those two devices are 24bit color from ground 0, and the driver problably belives that we have a 24bit capable screen. Warren's driver must have something in it, that makes it behave nicely with RGB565 instead of RGB888.

I have a questions. The Desire came out in two versions, Amoled and LCD. How does the android finds out which type of screen is being used? Or is it transparent to the OS?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobiascrystal:
I may be wrong but during the initial porting days wasn't the chatter saying that we were using the evo display drivers? It has been so long now I can't remember for sure.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
Possible... i'm kind of new to HD2 :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] consolation:
Btw, I found that ticking the 'use 16bit transparency' box in settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance greatly reduces banding in the gui. (Needs reboot ) And since we only have a 16bit display, you get a slight performance boost without loss of quality.

Clearly visible on the xda app boot screen, for example.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Understood, which is why I think it's either a simple flag or series of flags in the kernel config, or a certain section of the GPU driver file(s) that simply need a change.

Yeah, we are using Evo GPU Drivers.

Aware of that one too, but also still doesn't solve everything. What I think I'll do is update the OP to reflect all these little tricks or link to the respective threads, so that people can use them until a fix is sorted.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] marc1706:
This should solve the color banding issue:

https://github.com/marc1706/cm-on-wince-htc/commit/dfe41d02cac454e3e58c583cd4fa0c0825160d1f

Just tested it in my kernel and it is fixed as far as I can see. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jolas:
Could you explain in more detail (...just for android noobs :p) what should we do to implement that?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Absolutely beautiful - the suspicions of it being one setting (line in this case) was somewhat correct then.

Thank you very much for making this a priority. I'll update the OP to link to your kernel thread.

MrP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] marc1706:
I already compiled my kernel with that change (it can be flashed on Magldr if you are using a CM/AOSP build), but if you want to use that on a stable .32 kernel you probably need to wait until the developers of the .32 kernels implement that change. ;)

You're welcome. I already had a hunch that it might just be this setting, but I wasn't sure until I tested it an hour ago.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

right now Color banding fix is not added in tytung kernel... so it's not ok in your current rom..

hopefully tytung will test and add it in his kernel
[HD2 Android NAND Development] vua777:
can you share a better screenshot of how it fixed
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrPadie:
Unfortunately I do not have the time to flash the old kernel now and show you a before-picture, but if you're on any stock-themed CM7 ROM, pull down your notification pane. You'll see distinct banding behind the power-widgets. I have attached a screenshot however of how it looks now, after the installation of marc's kernel. The difference is very evident.

As a side note guys, this really is a fantastic kernel, and everything is working as it should. It will most likely work on many current CM7/AOSP/MIUI ROMs, as it only replaces the zImage while maintaining your ROMs init file. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose (with a nandroid of course).

MrP.

Can you guys try to apply this image as a wallpaper ? Color banding has grealty improved but this image (and others) still show a lot of banding, especially in its center.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
You have to understand, even with dithering, you're comparing 16bit color against 24bit.

You also have to understand, 16 bits has twice has many colors as 15bit, and 17 twice as many as 16.

In general terms, the number of 2 ^ number of bits, so

16 = 2 ^16 = 65535

24 = 2 ^24 = 16777216

Dithering, probably gives you more 2 bits, so... no miracles :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] psyCORe:
We almost there !

I hope someone could fixed the widget color banding issue, checkout my attachment, clock widget looks great when applying Live Wallpaper compare to non Live WP.

my rom is Langthang NDT MIUI v35 with Tytung R14 ,
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KrewsialNL:
No matter what kernel is used, the color banding is still visible in MIUI roms, when using the MIUI launcher.

It only disappears when using 'high quality scrolling', which slows down the overal performance of the ROM.

Perhaps I am making too much if this but I want to unroot my transformer to install the new update. I have not flashed/installed any custom roms onto my device. So other than being root it is still completely stock.

The first question that I have is that when I unroot my device will I loose everything? When I root I didn't so would think it would be the same for unrooting.

Would this be the correct procedure for unrooting my transformer using BRK's root toolkit?

1. put transformer into APX mode

2. connect transformer to computer & confirm ADB is communicating.

3. In BrK"s Root Toolkit go to tab 5 "Restore backup" & click on "Unroot pad (delete supperuser & busybox)".

When I root I did not opt to backup the partition.

4. Do I then just click on restore boot then restore recovery & that is it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brk:
first, use the unroot button and then restore backuped boot and recovery
