[HTC ChaCha] tokafondo:
Hello. I finally decided to test CM7 in my ChaCha. I'm used too much to Sense style of work, but I'm trying to get used to this.

With stock rom, lgCamera didn't allow to record 800x480 videos, being 720 the most. Now with CM7 I can select that resolution and record videos in that resolution. I can even select 1280x720 but the screen get garbled. I think that is a limitation of the camera firmware, and being that it's the same camera modula the HTC Desire Z has, maybe it could be 'ported' to chacha.

I'd like to know if the kernel the latest CM7 port has /proc/mic_level enabled or included. I'd like to be able to set the mic recording level, and there is an app for that (Mic control for HD2), but it can't work because the absence of that /proc/mic_level stuff.

Thanks for your work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkypotatoe:
I'm not an Android guru, i'm just investigating what's going on with my phone and now i'm completely lost after reading tons of topics & googling about all that Apps2SD, Data2SD, Data++ etc. stuff. I'm wondering is it possible to move the WHOLE DATA partition to SD Card, so original Data partition on internal memory would not be used? Like in Linux, where you can mount external disk over empty partition/folder. Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sm_rasmy:
yes

there is script called data2sd

like in droidzone rom

supernova

starbrust

internal become the ext partion :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swemoza:
You can search for :

DATA2SD

Data2ext

Data2whatever

And also modified amarullz script.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Well sort of. Have a look here using your phone not the PC browser ;-)

[Atrix 4G General] SpiritCrusher:
Hallo there people,

I've got one question. I'm wondering how hdmi mirroring works on our atrix. I mean do we need the dock or just we plug the cable? Im asking cause when i plug the cable and i choose mirroring from the drop down menu nothing happens. I looked at build.prop, i enabled hdmi mirroring but nothing happens. I tried with Darkside and Aura roms too.

Do i miss something? Do i need the dock? All answers are welcome.

Thank you in advance!
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
you prolly need to do the hdmi without dock

mod google search it and that should work also in about phone in settings what is ya webtop version

if it says unknown you need to fastboot flash

the webtop.imgv1 but make shure u on at&t atrix or the ones it supports
[Atrix 4G General] SpiritCrusher:
Thank you for your answer mate.

My webtop version is OSHWT_U1_6.61.20. This webtop i think isnt ATT's cause my atrix is international one. Thank you for pointing me out where to start looking!

Regards!
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
also try alien rom see if its support cause have had success with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
yesterday sound was awesome screen on or off. i did the update this morning just for hah's. now my music crackles occasionally after screen goes off. anyway to uninstall update so i can verify?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i think i may have fixed my problem. google music was fine. in poweramp i unticked "high priority" in settings and the crackling seems to have disappeared. weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] طوني تبولة:
I had tried changing every setting and couldn't get it back to normal until I wiped the app data which solved the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
if anybody having problems with the crackling i mentioned above with poweramp go into settings in advanced and audio engine and tweak your audio buffer to huge or large. auto i guess doesn't allow a big enough buffer and creates the problems with sound. google music plays fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BroChaos:
my regular sound notifications crackle when the screen is off...not even playing music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkhyper1:
I haven't seen this issue at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
There are a few threads about this with more info. Definitely 48KHz sample rate mp3 don't work well when in low power mode (screen off), only 44.1KHz. Seems some people have found various ways of stopping it. One is turning on the eq in music, another the buffer size in power amp.

Google needs to root out the problem. I was hoping 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 would have a fix for everyone. I personally have not seen it happen outside of someone sending me a 48KHz sample rate mp3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidman:
I have an issue where offline Google Music flac files will suffer from this distortion when the screen is off. It happens to most of my flac files, and to none of my mp3 files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GnexDenmark:
I experienced this problem even when playing Youtube vids... I am just testing it now.

Video and sound would crack and pop for brief periods seemingly at random when playing songs in various players - I thought at first that I had a bad wire in the headphones, but it happened without headphones as well.

I never had this problem before and I installed 4.1.1 update a few days ago.

I just uninstalled a media app (don't remember the name now haha - but it's similar to imedia share) and did a cold reboot (removed battery) and I have now been testing for 15 minutes, and so far no problems with MP3 players or Youtube.

Honestly - I think it may have been an app running in the background - so try uninstalling media apps and do a cold reboot.

I still LOVE this phone!
[General Questions and Answers] MilkyJoePD:
I've read about updates needing the system applications installed to work. I have a few questions:

Do all apps have to be installed (including games)?

I've uninstalled some apps to download again to install them as user apps to move to my SD card. Do I need to re-install these back to system apps? Or is the fact they're installed good enough?

Will a factory reset put everything back the way it should be so I can just do that?

Finally, why do you have to have it the way it was to enable updates?

Thanks in advance. I've read quite a few posts about having to have system apps installed, but not why or which ones.

Hey,

I'm one of Any.DO's developers. I developed most of the UI on the app and I can tell you that I didn't use any special SDK/Toolkit for that.

To get most of the stuff done over there, I just build custom component that gives me the actions I needed, for example the Drag and Drop list.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Stevieboy02008:
For some reason my phone keeps saying up to date & I have no idea if I just got a bad unit. Can anyone tells me how to get it to update? I'm still under my 30 days but time is ticking on me. Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
when you go into phone info does it still say 2.3.5. are you using CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Stevieboy02008:
Nope my phone is stock. No root. Yes it says 2.3.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
i have heard they pulled the update.....but silver posted a Zip file that you can flash to get the update in the dev section.

others have the same issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Stevieboy02008:
Oh OK. I went to the AT&T store last night & their demo phones have it so I felt left out. LOL thanks for all the help. I'm new to android development but that's my 4th android phone from a long line of iPhone users used them all till the 4S. Can't seem to like them again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
that is correct, for an unknown reason they pulled the update. It was only available for like 5 days =(

nobody knows the changes in 2.3.6 and nobody knows why they pulled the update either =(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Those who are not aware of the fact that the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is delivered with Android 2.3.5 will be surprised when they receive an update notification that will allow them to upgrade their smartphones to version 2.3.6.

Although the carrier is still mum about the update, AndroidCentral reports that lots of Galaxy S II Skyrocket owners started to receive it in the last 24 hours.

No word on what's changed after the update, but those who upgraded noticed that it keeps root and boot-up seems a bit faster.

In addition, the speed of the new radio firmware on HSPA has been improved, and several changes on the camera interface have been included as well.

What's certain is that Android 2.3.6 fixes a Google Voice Search bug. Other than that AT&T may have squeezed several tweaks and possibly a few more performance improvements.

My phone still saying up to date. Did I get a bad headset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jdsemler:
I am in the same boat. I have heard that carriers will often roll out updates to only a certain range of IMEIs over a period of time to reduce bandwidth/server constraint... usually one batch per week until all the IMEIs are white listed.

I do not know if this is the reason many of us (myself included) are unable to update, but I consider it possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Stevieboy02008:
Just got off the phone with at&t tech , they told me the update was pulled out then re-released but based on market to market basis, so all i can do is just sit & wait till my phone tells me its there or just keep checking every 24 hours , as of what the update changes they couldnt tell me because simply they have no idea what does it fix they just know that its live , thank you all for the help if anyone knows what does that update fixes please let me know , thank you all for all your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pcrat:
They probebly pulled it because of all the white screens everyone was getting. All Stock, and rooted alike.

I wont touch it unless it has something in it worth the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
Exactly. With the exception of the removal of CIQ (which we can disable anyways), there's really nothing that the update has to offer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
This old thread was in refrence to the other 2.3.6 update att started then pulled. It was kk1

Lol so the new ucla3 is there second time ...hmmmm
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
Why need it be so hard to support the developers working on Samsung phones....releasing code that is impossible to work with....as on the sgs2 for example.....there are ways to work with and support those working on porting phones...Sony Ericsson has made that effort to support the community....so should Samsung....they make great phones wich could be even greater.....if only they embraced the community and made an effort to work with, and not against......
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
maybe you should research before you post pointless threads that have nothing to back up your points.

Samsung have arguably been the most developer friendly company.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
If you're talking about releasing proprietary drivers then what the fk can SAMSUNG do about it? It isn't theirs, they can't give something that doesn't belong to them.

$1 gets you a reply
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
So then there is no way to make it easier to get things working without releasing proprietary drivers .......then i give up on believing there is a way to get a working port to the sgs2.....but as i refuse to accept that reality , i still believe there are things possible to be change.

To make it easier without releasing proprietary drivers ......
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Well people could make their own drivers, but I believe they'd need the full architecture map and the details outlining. Moreover testing and refining would take an immense amount of time.
[Galaxy S II General] svladimir:
It's slightly more complicated that this in the software world.

1 - as soon as samsung release anything they become responsible for it, i.e. they also need to release manuals, maybe maintain, support etc.

2 - samsung have how many different active handsets ? And each of them needs to be supported. It's one HELL of a job. I wouldn't be surprised if they just don't have time or don't want to spend money to support community.
[Galaxy S II General] TheiPhoneKiller:
Either you have no idea or your just impatient,Think about Samsung,there one of the world largest electronics company's in the world,while your sat at home drinking coffee or tea,there bashing out a new product and ideas to try and make electronic lives that more easier,from TVs,Phones,Fridges,Microwaves,laptops,sound systems,mp3s,hardware for other manufacturers,every second of the every day there working on something,its amazing they have anytime to actually release stuff like this but they do it,they try and support our device as much as they can despite having a patent war with apple at the same time.There about 10 different variants of this device,each one is slightly different,each one has there own different hardware,each one needs there own drivers,each one also needs supported,S2 is also not the one they need to support,Theres S,Nexus S,Galaxy Nexus,ACE,W,R,all need supporting so when they release the code when they do,you have a think of what else there doing and be more grateful they do it compared with say htc,who only manufacture mobiles but are tight arses,Samsung even sent several Galaxy s2 to CyanogenMod to he could bring his software onto the device,they didnt have to but they did.If they didnt care,they wouldnt do any of this,There not perfect but trust me they do try
[Galaxy S II General] NickoPulver:
http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/

And i agree with you about all they are manufacturing and that they have a lot to do....and need not support all of the products if so needed....
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
wtf are you talking about? Please state how Samsung's released code for the I9100 is impossible to work with. Yes, apparently the original source release had some stability bugs (see Ninphetamine kernel thread), but Samsung fixed that MONTHS ago with update1...

Samsung is, in my opinion, the most developer-friendly manufacturer out there. Download mode (Odin) makes it almost impossible to hardbrick, and they're now the only major manufacturer that is not locking their bootloaders. They also usually release kernel source BEFORE a product even officially launches.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
LOL.

ROFL.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
duno why your laughing, they are, not only did they even hire the founder of cyanogen, but they also sent the cyanogen devs a bunch of SGS2's when they first come out so that they would support the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] d3ck4rd:
I don't understand why Samsung sent team Hacksung free SGS IIs only to hold them up by not giving them what they need to develop on them.
[Galaxy S II General] Matriak31:
Good point there my friend.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Name a manufacturer who has done a better job.

HTC? Locked bootloaders, kernel sources withheld for extremely long times.

Motorola? Locked bootloaders

LG? Don't really know - at least in the US, their devices tend to be such bugridden **** (such as the battery-hogging Thrill) that you'd spend months just getting to the point of a stock Samsung firmware.

Samsung donated devices to the Cyanogenmod team and gave them nearly everything they needed to port the device - the only thing that isn't working very well in CM7 is Bluetooth, and you can blame Broadcom for that. Broadcom are ****ing douchebags when it comes to open source, they are one of the LEAST developer-friendly companies on the planet. Unfortunately it seems like these days, your only choices for Wifi/Bluetooth implementations are either the BCM4330, TI's WLAN solution (which is tightly coupled to OMAP), or some wacky niche player (Samsung tried to do that with the Infuse and the STE CG2900 - that epicfailed for them.)

If you're referring to ICS - for ****s' sake, Samsung hasn't even released their own ICS firmware yet. The sense of entitlement on these forums is getting to be utterly ****ing ridiculous. It's almost unheard of for an AOSP bringup to be successful to an Android version higher than the latest manufacturer release.
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
Sony Ericsson has actually helped with development for CM7, I think they take the cake :).

Samsung is pretty cool too for donating phones to devs. Maybe they'll even help them develop in the future. One step at a time ;)
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
So what would you like us to do? Petition them?

What outcome would you like?

If the code is "impossible to work with" then why are there so many kernels out there based on their code?

Also, your ENTER key says "hi", and your period key says "ouch".
[Galaxy S II General] Tyrany:
Sammy might have lots of smartphones and lots of stuf to worry about and its all that story about proprietary drivers, software and all that crap, but the truth is if they wanted, it wasnt that dificult to help the team.

If you do a little search in the forum u will see devices sucessfully running AOSP cm9 alpha on Android 4.01 which is higher than the latest manufacturer release, since only nexus have ics lolol
[Galaxy S II General] io53:
That was just very very cheap advertising
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Why would Samsung even release ICS drivers for SGS2 when they are working on their own ICS release for it? You don't give out the plans to something that you are about to bring out to the market before you launch it. Think about that.
[Galaxy S II General] zelendel:
I have to agree. The sense of entitlement is a bit crazy.
[Galaxy S II General] d3ck4rd:
What?

10char
[Galaxy S II General] io53:
They got loads of positive publicity by giving away a few phones...
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Because they can't, if you do some research, you would find that there is hardware in the phone that is not made by Samsung so they can't release anything that they do not own themselves that may be related to the hardware

I feel your pain and I am not even a developer, but there are those here that would say we should ignore the "entitled" because it happens all over the world on other forums, no regard for the damage it is doing, slowly.

This should be put on repeat, it is truly getting out of hand, I come here to read/see what's new trying to stay abreast of what's happening, others come here thinking it's their personal Android ATM machine, log in and withdraw everything possible, no regard for the amount of hard work that has to take place in the background, they want it and they want it now.........
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nothing but true what you are saying my friend..Agree with you completely
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Phone can't be an ATM machine, comparing them is totally meaningless.

Samsung is load of crap when it comes to support, especially after sales support. I can't remember when and with which Samsung I received an upgrade, even if I did it was an unofficial one from some blah blah source. We all have to pay some huge bucks to buy these stuffs and nowhere its written that 'we won't receive post buy upgrades' or something like that.

Being idiot is a thing, but being blind and biased is nonsense.
[Galaxy S II General] :
i think you have taken his post in a different way my friend
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
You just reinforced my point - it's ALPHA. Stable AOSP bringups to Android revisions beyond the manufacturer-released firmware are EXTREMELY rare. Every time I've seen it, the effort is plagued with showstopper bugs.

The only real exception is TI OMAP-based devices that don't differ significantly from TI's reference design AND don't lock their bootloader (this latter condition eliminates many of the OMAP-based devices on the market - while TI is better than almost any IC manufacturer in terms of providing product documentation and IC datasheets, they're also the worst in terms of providing handset manufacturers with the tools to lock down devices.)

Unfortunately, as I've said before, you often have a choice of full buyin to TI's ecosystem, or a minefield of proprietary items that a handset manufacturer has no control over:

Wifi - Broadcom sucks when it comes to open source, period

Bluetooth - Broadcom again, the only time I've seen a BT chipset other than TI's or Broadcom's recently was the STE CG2900 in the Samsung Infuse - that chip is epic fail

GPU - Open source GPU drivers have never to my knowledge existed for Android. (The Mali stuff in kernels is only part of the equation. There's a lot of proprietary blobs in userland)

Sound - We'd probably be better off if Samsung had stuck with Wolfson here - They took a gamble with Yamaha and it didn't pay off (worse sound quality, less "open" driver.)
