Froyo kernel for battery and camera work on defy mb525

Can I change the kernel and so make the camera work? Root is not important for me, but I have camera issue. Any solution?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MERKJONES:
Since megapixels don't mean much when taking a picture with a camera, is there anything in dev / on the market that will improve the quality of the GNex camera? I love this phone so much, but the Camera makes me a bit sad. I know Cyanogen and Co. worked wonders on the Camera for my G2 and G1 back in the day.

Anything like that (changing ISO, and other options) for the GNex right now - without flashing an entire ROM?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
Hello people, thanks for reading and trying to help in advance hehe :P

ok here it goes ....

i bought a galaxy tab 10.1v "Australian Vodafone Version" a while back, and since me and other users that own this pices of **** didn't get updates and stuff i decided to "unlock+Root+rom". I did that successfully after following guieds:

unlock :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064793

root+room: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079781

Everything wsa fine and i had the super user and everything, but in the second guide it says it is recomended or something like that to download ROM Manager from the market which i did, and i started the app and and did a backup. My Tab rebooted to a blank screen , i waited for a while but with no luck so i turned off and tried to go to DW mode or recovery mood so i can at least connecte it to odin3 and do something. When press V- + Power theres no DW nor recovery mode all i see is one smmall line on the left top corner that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"

When i plug the usb into my computer nothing happenes no sound , no new device installing no nothin. but since i have been reading alot regarding this issue, i read something about APX mode and NVflash here and many other websites but i followed this guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574

i got my tab connected but i couldn't do NVflash because whenever i do

"--sync" or "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"

i get this :

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

some say that that means the device is locked eventho i pretty sure it not because i had the lock logo. anyway ...

just to answer every possible question in advnce and give more info :

*its a 10.1v "Vodafone Australia Version"

*was working fine after root/rom

*stoped working after using the app "ROM Manager" (i think its not compactible)

* the device on somekinda boot loop, the screen would turn on and off "blank screen with nothing in it no sound also"

* pressing Volum down + Pwer will taking me to a blank screen with one little line that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"

*when i plug the usb to the computer nothing hapenes

* in APX mod is working but i cannot do anytning since the NVflash won't work.

* I followed everything step by step

Does that mean my device is useless ? is there anyway to get it back to life ?

Thank you and sorry for the spilling mistakes as im using a F'ed up keyboard

Hi Barry. Welcome to XDA. One quick suggestion: If you want to get help in an enthusiasts forum, don't call the object of everyone's affections a "pices [sic] of ****."

We all understand the stress of having non-responsive electronics; but you'll catch more flies with honey...

***edit. Wrote some stuff for you only to realize that you're on a 10.1v. Not sure how I missed that in your title (and thus, I suppose I can't comment on whether or not it really is a POS!). Until just now I never realized how different your tab is from the regular 10.1 (guides are much more difficult to follow!) Anyways, I found these threads that might be useful to you:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
i apologize for that, but i was referring to my tab only ... anyways

thanks for your reply and for the links you gave me .. but still the biggest problem is i'm unable to connect my tab to odin, and downloading mode and recovery mode are not even there .. theyre all gone, only APX mode is working and even with that, NVflash won't work and i would give me this error

"Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)"

if i could connect to odin i could actually do something, or even NVflash i could run bootloader and it would install image files and all.

i'm not sure if i can do anything with APX other than NVflash .. or if i could somehow bypass Nvflash error .. :confused::(

i just have a feeling that my tab won't make it :(

Just an idea... did you try to do the work with another pc?

For example a fresh XP 32bit install on another pc.

This "usb write error" seems strange.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
Thanks for replying. .. Yes i tried with anither pc. . I have read in this forum and others that this error means that the tablet is somehow locked even tho it wasnt before i root/rom it

Its like not writable, ill install a freah xp pro and givr it another try since i tried only win win 7

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
Yes i did as i metioned in my post, didnt help

When i charged it after i drained the battery, the screen light will turn on but no battery logo or anything.. The only thing that would show up on the screen is when i try to enter downloading mod/recovery mod by pressing power+volume is a little line on the top right corner which says : " booting recovery image# "

thank you for your reply, what do you guys recommend since i can access APX mod, will i be able to do anthing other than nvflash in APX mod?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgip2000:
Since you are getting a usb write error as well as no charge indicator, is it possible that your USB cable is bad?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
thanks for your reply

when i charge, the tablet does charge but no Battery logo, i can tell its charging because the screen lights will go on.

what i have tried so far :

* installed APX but when i try to nvflash it says something like writing failed

* tried both windows XP and windows 7

* drained the battery twice for 2 days

* changed USB cable

* tried to connect it to different versions on odin but computer only recognise the device in APX mode

* device still showing ( booting recovery kernel image#) when a try to access DW mod.

it all started when i used a backup program after rooting it, i don't get .. is its a backup it shouldn't delete everything (the system) and brick the tablet...

whats Kernel ? << noob

any new ideas guys ? is there any other programs/methods out there ?

anyone have the same problem ?

thanks

When it says booting recovery kernel image, did you try to just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to find out if it boots again, or try logcat command?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
yes, i left it like that till the next morning :(

** update **

Today i disassembled my tab after i read somewhere in this forum that i might get it back if i take the battery out or unplug the screen cables. Some claim that the touch screen could cause the tab to go into a boot loop; however that didn't work :(

i decided anyway to buy a new tab either Asus Transformer or Galaxy 8.9, even tho I'm kinda worried that this thing could happen to my new tab when i try to root it and install roms. I don't want to spend that much money until i figure out the problem, so i'm making this tablet "A testing Device" i'm gonna test every possible way to revive it for me and and others. I'll do my best with your help guys to solve this so we can provide help for others.

There was a Guide here in this forum about JTAGing that tablet along with a software that some company use to unbrick devices but i cold not find it, my cousin owns a hardware store and i could use everything i need .. i just need someone to guide me.

Thanks :)

bumb!

im still looking with no luck :( ... please help ?

can i do anything with linux ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
As far as I know linux won't help, what % is your tablet charge at? Since you've opened it already why not just de-attach the battery and reattach it back and try to power it directly into fastboot. Normally draining is the same as stopping the flow of current into the tablet. Unlike phones where you can pop out the battery you can't do it to the tab unless you've opened it.

Can you please let me know what steps have you tried so far? Would be nice to know in detailed :) So I can help you out at best.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
i think i have third every possible way out there... and the steps that i did to revive the device your way was :

i taped the power button and left it for like 2 days, then i plugged it to the computer in APX mode to check if its drained or not, but i think it was charging off the computer. So i repeated the first step and left it for 3 days, then plugged it into the socket. after couple of mins the screen turned on, but no logo or anything, just black screen (same issue). i decided to disassemble the device to take the battery out which i did and yet same result. i had hope so i re-did the battery drain thing and left it for a week and when i plugged it i pressed pwr+ vlo + and something.

my tab turns on, but just a black screen it won't that up, and power + volume up will show me a kernel message.

thanks so much, i aprreciate your trying to help :) any other way you think i should try ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
What sort of kernel message do you get? As far as I know maybe perhaps the contact's arent touching properly? Seems to me you did everything right but when it turns on you don't get the charging icon.

The good part is the display works and atleast you can boot up *Somehow* the bad part is you can't get it into Fastboot mode.

As far as I know the tablet is supposed to light up but have you checked if you get the offline charge icon (That green battery that sits in the middle of the screen and charges?) once you get it to drain/disconnect you should leave it to charge via wall socket for about 5-10secs for that icon to pop up. If you get that icon atleast then you know you are getting somewhere :)

I wish I had the tablet in hand so I could see what's going on. The whole oceans away solution makes it hard to guess what's happening
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Might just be typos but I see a few errors in your posting about what isn't working. Could just be my eyes right now too.

First one I noticed is you should be pressing and holding power + volume down. You're saying volume +, but it should be volume -

To explain, after the complete battery drain when you are ready to power the tab on you should be holding power and the button directly next to it which is the volume - button. If you do this and are lucky enough to see anything at all release the power button but continue to hold the volume down button and hope. If you get the two icons you're getting even closer.

If you're sure you are pressing and releasing the buttons correctly, please excuse my ignorance and accept my apology for uselessly posting.

Best of luck wishes in any case.

Yeah it should be fine. Download the rom from humberOS website and the p1000 kernel. Boot into recovery, flash the zip and then flash the kernel BEFORE rebooting.

[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
Just wanted to open up this thread to see how everyone's battery life is while using Wifi Tether 3.0 Pre12. My battery lfe while using it isn't to good. At 100% charge it drained down to 78% in about 1 1/2 hrs on a somewhat weak 3g signal.

Your input would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Tethering drains your battery fast because it is using data and wifi at the same time (and a lot of both, mind you). That is why it is recommended to have your phone plugged in or have a spare battery when you do tether. If you are tethering to a laptop, you can plug the phone into that. The slower charge rate should mean that your radios use up about as much power as the USB supplies. This takes care of power issues for me.

EDIT: On second thought, you may not want to plug into a laptop if its battery is small. I can get about 24 hours of usage on mine so it is appropriate for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
I wasn't concerned about how bad the battery life was. I know the battery drainage is normal. I'm just curious to see what other people are getting.
[Verizon Droid Charge] drewcam888:
3.1 beta 12 is much better
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Depends what you're doing. If it's just casual browsing here and there not too bad. If trying to download 700mb then it will drain pretty fast

It eats battery like cocaine candy. I am not sure what you are expecting and I doubt there is much difference between pre 12 and any other version.
[Atrix 4G General] qaplus:
I just came across this website. It's a $35 SoC system with a ARMv6 cpu and 256M RAM. The demo shows it plays 1080p H.264 video, XBMC, even Quake III well! Comparing its hardware with Atrix, I can't imagine how much processing power was wasted in Atrix. :)

[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
Yeah that's sick.
[Atrix 4G General] d3athsd00r:
Exactly what I thought when i saw it. They say the GPU can outperform the Tegra2. But my opinion on why it runs so well is because it is running Linux, which has been heavily optimized throughout the years. Android is still an infant compared to Linux even if it is running a branch of Linux. It still hasn't been optimized to run on all the hardware that is currently being produced.

I'm willing to bet that if you could get android running on that board, it would be horribly laggy.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
+1. android would lag the **** out of it. It would use 80% of the ram for itself.
[Atrix 4G General] cpuchip:
Raspberry Pi looks very cool. My co-worker wants one, A lot of the improvements to linux that makes it faster today then just a few years ago really is in the Kernel. 2.6.32 is a rather old Kernel. There are speed improvements scheduling improvements and ext4 support that comes later. all those would improve android a lot.

The other problem comes though that most of android runs in Devik (spelling?) or in Java. naturally it's going to be slow, and that alone uses much of the ram on our phones. (though I'm glad ours has a GB worth, which it had to for webtop's sake)

If more of android ran natively it would be better.

I can't wait to see what the community does though with these neat little Raspberry Pies. (how are they meant to be plural?)

I have been watching these for at least the last 6 months. I am going to pick up a couple and have a few projects in mind. The first one will be a portable media center that will access my server at home. Going to attempt to tether with my phone for internet connection and then use a rii Bluetooth remote. Then I just have to carry a remote, hdmi cable, and the pi and have a full fledged xbmc anytime I travel. Have a few other ideas but going to see how that works first.

These are a great idea and plan on donating one for everyone i buy and hope you all do also. Just think of what this can teach kids and what they will be able to do when they get in their teenage years growing up with something like this.

This is the one I use with my home xbmc setup and it works great. going with BlueTooth for the PI. Took a week or so getting used to the touch-pad but now I can go around and do everything I need without even looking at it. Ultimate would be that with ir basic control on the back that I could do basic controls for my plasma and receiver. But cant have everything. LOL

After I get the media center going I am going to work on a in-car cpu. Would like a touch screen, gps, basic surfing, and media center that I can get to work with the stereo. Google music in the car! We will see how that goes though, that will be way beyond my capabilities but that is a project to learn something on.

I have a HTC Evo 3D, and I absolutely love the phone. I am impressed with how much better this phone runs compared to my HTC Evo 4g. My Evo3D is stock, and here lately I have been looking into rooting it, allowing me superuser access.

The downfall, I get slightly confused to the whole thing. I am sure that I can perform the rooting task itself, but what has been keeping me from doing so, is I don't know what I am doing after I root the phone. I see stuff about flashing roms and kernels and all, but I do not understand how you do that? How do you add custom stuff? What is flashing? How do you add all the custom things? Can you add stuff to roms?

I know all of these questions come off noobish, but I am just looking for an expansion of it from other people. Anyone that has an idea of how it all works, any information provided is greatly appreciated.
