[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
If anyone wants to help with the camera, all you need to do is install the rom and the Bravo Greenbread. After that, just try replacing libsoccamera.so with whatever camera library you want to try. To give an example with the libkobecamera-- adb push ./libkobecamera.so /system/lib/libsoccamera.so followed by adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libsoccamera.so and reboot. From what I can tell, libcamera.so only detects if the camera is Bayer or SOC, then that calls on libmotocamera.so to then give commands to libsoccamera.so to take the photo. The error is not taking the picture, it actually does that correctly, its taking the picture from the buffer and writing it to the SDCard where the error occurs. That could be either libsoccamera.so or libcameraservice.so causing the problems, they both have errors at that time.

If we can't get it to work the copy\paste library hacks, the only alternative is to recompile Motorola's libsoccamera.so from gingerbread to 3MP, and and accompanying libraries. I figure Quarx's CM7 driver could be a reference point.

I have a bunch to do today, but if someone here could do a bit of research on how to compile individual drivers and report back; it would save me the time and trouble. We really need this rom working. Making MS2 fully work also means MIUI v4, Wajkiui, Argen2Stone and 3Stone, or any 2.3.6 Defy or Milestone2 Rom for that matter since they all have similar frameworks.

And I forgot to add, for those who do want to help. Don't bother with anything Bravo Froyo or CM7. I've tried all combinations with no success. They actually make it glitch and crash. You gotta think outside the box. Just stick with Gingerbread 3MP Motorola phones, because we need a library that understands libmotocamera.so.

With it could help it to taste but I do not have knowledge of system linux I am a novice...:( MIUI v.4 is as the delay of games of ps3.....:D

aleeyt is very good can request aid to him to
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
I would, but I don't think he can help until his sim card is unlocked. I tried helping, but I don't have access to the family plan account code. What I don't understand is why they require you to have a valid account to get the phone unlocked??? Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The only way I can help him at this point is to have him send me his phones and go to the ATT Store 2 miles away....but that's a pita sending phones from the Ukraine to Arkansas and back. If he'd pay for the shipping, I'd be able to go to the ATT Store and have them unlock it.
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
Can someone test attached patch? Did camera work?

!Start with a clean install. !

- restore backup --> system only

- install View attachment GreenBreadBravo-Bravo-newlibs.zip
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
About to install, at first glance, they appear to be the Froyo drivers. Noticed mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin was missing, I'll add it in and test.

I also going to test only using libcameraservice.so from Froyo and the rest being the Defy camera drivers. Just a hunch, but probably wont' work.
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
My file was without mot_ise...bin for testing. Normal bravo and milestone 2 froyo did not need this file. only defy need it because of 2 camera. Can you test my patch without add something and with a clean restore of /system ?

Quarxs told me not to use camera libs from defy for motorola roms on bravo.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
I did, but it didn't work. Normally, I'd completely agree with you and Quarx, but the logcat output and how it behaves tells another story. It's completely working, it just doesn't send the camera buffer correctly. Pictures are the correct size they'd normally be if they were correct, but the data gets corrupted from the buffer to jpeg output. Lgcamera even show the preview, it just gets corrupted when saving the image.

I have another thing I'm about to try, and that's replacing /system/framework/com.motorola.android.camera.jar. I'm thinking that using the Froyo framwork camera bootclass file with the Froyo Camera libs might help. I'm downloading BravoX right now to use its deodexed camera.jar since I can't get baksmali.jar to deodex the stock froyo.

I have to help my Dad move our camper and I'm not sure when I'll get to test, but it will be tonight, eventually.;)
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
Here you go. deodexed stock froyo
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Didn't work, but the Defy libs boot, still same issues, with the Bravo Froyo com.motorola.android.camera.jar.

I'm gonna search for 3MP Moto GB phones, but there aren't that many. Actually, I've only come across the Defy MINI so far. But, I've only searched for about 10 minutes.
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
you can use libs from mini. It is a msm device and not a omap.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
I realized that a few minutes after once I found the full product specs. Other than the Defy MINI, I've only found one other Motorola phone that has both the 3MP camera and runs Gingerbread....the Motorola Fire. But I don't think its a 3630 device.

While looking up 3mp gb phones today, I realized that the Droid2, Cliq2, Milestone2, Defy, Bravo are all the same phones with different layouts and keyboards. Hell, the Bravo is the only one with a 3mp camrea, the rest are 5 or 8 mp, makes me feel really screwed over about having a Bravo now.:mad: Apparently, the Milestone2 and Droid2 are the same phone with different names, just ones American and one's international; at least from Motorola's sources, the probably take different sbfs.

What I'd like to know is if any of them happen to have the same bootloader version. The Bravo is 9.12, Defy is 9.10, MS2 is 70.12 (I think), not sure on the others. I'd love to come across a 9.12 GB kernel and flash the image like a Defy "CM7" kernel.

Still nothing new on the camera\tether front. Tethering's gonna be the hardest to figure out since neither logcat (adb) nor ddms show that any errors are occurring.
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
Motorola Fire = qualcom MSM

tethering: apn setting is correct?
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Haven't found any camera that fit the requirements, only cameras for non-motorola devices. Reading the init scripts, /system/bin/mediaserver is part of the camera group, and is one of the few things where the camera is mentioned on boot up. Replacing that with the Froyo or CM7 causes the rom to freeze on boot, same as adding the camera driver. Do you happen to know what libraries and other files accompany mediaserver? I'm just adding in everything that's possibly camera related at this point and hoping for the best. All I know is that some file some where doesn't like the Kobe camera driver, or mediaserver apparently.

Apn is correct, used CM7's which works perfectly. Our last CM9's tethering didn't work either, but when viewing logcat you could see usb_mode_switch errors. The only thing on logcat I'm getting when activating tether is the graphics drawing the screen, nothing more.

I've been a bit busy lately, helping a freind whose getting married tomorrow, so I haven't had much time to mess with the rom, maybe an hour a day if I'm lucky, but it has been my primary rom for a while, and runs great other than camera and tethering.

Would it be possible to just replace the blur apps\system apps for the Bravo's stock Froyo, and add in Defy Gingerbread libraries where necessary? Just thinking of a different approach to the problems. Since the wedding is tomorrow, I probably won't be back on here until Sunday....Hungover. Got a fifth of Parrot Bay 90 Proof. Usually drink Jose Cuervo, so rums gonna be different change of pace.
[Bravo Android Development] walter79:
I released 4.0 for defy. We can try to get camera working. maybe we should replace camera files with original motorola bravo froyo files.
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
The froyo libs cause it to freeze on boot.....Personally, I can live w\o the camera as it takes crappy photos anyways (except for the new CM9 libs), but the entitlement check with tethering is what keeps me from using this rom, seriously. Basically it phones home to see if you've paid the $20 a month to tether, and if you don't, you can't tether. That'll just take some playing around with settings.apk's smali code to fix, I believe.

While I have something else I'm working on at the moment, I'll give it another try (in a few days) for the camera since I've learned a bit more from the last attempt. If I remember correctly, liboemcamera.so checks for red or green lens and directs the camera to the proper library for decoding -- since the Bravo is green lens it sends us to libsoccamera.so which will only process VGA video for the Bravo. Simply renaming libkobecamera.so to libbayercamera.so or libsoccamera.so doesn't work and will freeze on initializing the camera.

I have a hunch that the problem is in one of the framework jars not loading the froyo driver correctly or an /etc/permission error -- I've heard about other ports' cameras not working because of the flash xml and autofocus xml files.

Well, off to make coffee and go to work.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikidntu:
I try to partition my sd-card using ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.0.0.

It went ok, and I can see my partition using adb shell

# mount
...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard type vfat (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

I want to convert ext3 to ext4 so I plug my phone in the USB and mount it in the recovery.

However Gparted can't find any partition in my sdcard. When I try to view it using disk utilities It only shows the FAT32 partition.

I don't understand why gparted can't detect any partition ( it shows unallocated ). Something wrong with the partition table of the sd-card formatted by CWM ? Anyone have solved this before ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Delete all partitions on your SD card and then partition again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikidntu:
How to delete them if I can't see them ? I try to re-partition using CWM but still the same.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Delete partitions with cwm, and then create 1 big fat 32 partition. Alternately use Linux fdisk, which will "see" it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
After one partition is created, use parted, or 4ext.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikidntu:
fdisk or parted both can't find any partition...

But anyway.. after installing MIUI which convert my partition to ext4 automatically the problem is gone, every partition can be seen... So it must be some problem with CWM partition script
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
It ought to detect the partitions if you use a micro sd card reader. I assume you connected it via the Desire, in recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikidntu:
Yes, maybe that's the problem. I connected it via the Desire in recovery.

What could be wrong ? Because now (after flashing MIUI_xj xpart), I can see all partitions though connected via the Desire.

UPDATE : I still can't see the sd-ext if I mount USB storage in the recover...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
First, erase that crappy recovery from your phone. Then install 4ext. Should fix it. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikidntu:
... :D exactly what I thought atm
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
when you mount ur desire with usb mass storage option under recovery, it mount ONLY the FAT partition...

put the microsd in a microsd adapter on ur laptop..u will see both...

@droidzone come on, don't call CWM crappy :) ..every recovery is based on that..koush did a great work in order to write it for about every device (a tons of device support it now)..i agree it's a basic recovery (and maybe there are some limitations)..but it's thanks to that base recovery that now devs can easily mod it and improve it...it's like you and ur rom..ur rom its probably the best htc sense based rom for the desire, but you will never be able to do that without the crappy htc rom, and htc was never be able to do that without the crappy aosp rom made by google..i hope you got what i mean lol...modify is easy than create something from new
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
@andQlimax, my bone of contention is not with Koush's CWMR. It is with that half baked product called "Clockwork mod touch for Desire" that was recently released here without proper testing (the OP was using this, and his problems are directly caused by the faulty recovery). The very least the "developer" should test is to do a full backup and restore on his own phone after compilation. He has no right to treat poor hapless newbies as guinepigs. I wonder if that person even owns a Desire. If he did and he missed the fact that the recovery he released does not have the capacity to make sd-ext backups, I really feel for him.

People trust developers who release Recovery. If they cant trust their recovery to make proper backup, what's the point of calling it a Recovery software? ;)

I have the utmost respect for Koush, Paul O'Brien and others for their development work. I dont intend to mean any sort of disrespect for those masters and pioneers of Android development. I also respect them for keeping CWMR; and Cyanogen for keeping CM open source despite all circunstances.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
anyway i think the touch recovery posted in the dev section come directly from the koush build, he released it and it's on its site http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager for some devices

koush usually ask some people to test the recovery for him before he release it, probably someone didn't noticed that bug
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Thank you. I wasnt aware of that. But I see that the subversion has increased to 5.8.0.2 while yorzua has still attached the faulty 5.8.0.0.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jianzhongwen:
my atrix 2 was rooted and everything was good. a few days ago I copied a new su file using "Absolute System root toolbox" from sdcard to /system/bin, now i am still struggling to find a way to change the permission of the su file. looks like it's locked as a read-only file, now I can not use root explorer to change permissions of files or folders, and on my laptop using adb it gives me a $ rather than a #, it reads "operation not permitted".

any clues? thanks in advance!
[Motorola Atrix 2] SeekerLoki:
**One quick note** If you got the 2.3.6 update, zerg doesn't work. In that case you will need to wait for a new root method to be made available.

This comes from the rooting thread in the dev forum. None of it is my work... You need a root shell to reset the permissions on su. Here are some instructions that should allow you to do that.

Download exploit ---> Exploit.zip

1) Unzip contents of folder to your Desktop

2) open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/Exploit)

3) type the following commands

---> adb push zerg /data/local

---> adb shell

---> cd /data/local

---> chmod 777 zerg

---> ./zerg

4) Wait for the root to be gained

5) type the following commands

---> adb shell (only type this if you are no longer in shell@targa)

---> mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system

---> chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Hope this helps / works...
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Yeah you basically need to re-root your device.
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
Hi guys,

I noticed theres a few safe lists popping about but none of them are very concise. I was thinking we should compile a safe list of apps to remove and apps to move to sd.

For example, if we force it using TitaniumBackup, will it stop functioning? I will be performing a full root in the next few days and I will produce a list based. I also suggest we recommend a full Link2SD explanation as that is very important with this phone having such crap internal storage.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
This thread should suffice. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382321

The title says it all: Deletable Stock-Applications.

That list contains things that have been tested by freezing/removing, in other words, other people managed to rip apart their ROMs (and soft-brick them) so that you can have a list of safe to remove stock applications and widgets.

Creating 5 threads of safe lists of random apps that are not part of the stock ROM should not be part of the XDA forum (in my opinion); the stock ROM on the other hand is something which we all have/had/will have at some point and we have backups of it in various places, therefore backups can be shared. As per other market applications, there is no warranty for that and each user has the ability to create his own backups when and how he wants. I presume that the warning Titanium Backup pops when trying to freeze/delete an application is enough.

If you require more info about how to create backups using Titanium or CWM, please consult the search function or Google.
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
Wow, you couldn't have been any more condescending if you'd tried. Regardless, I never mentioned anything about Market apps. TitaniumBackup (and other apps) have the ability to force System apps onto the SD card (by converting them to a user app) with mixed results. Freezing a system app, fine. Deleting a system app, fine. You know the end result, however forcing a system app to SD isn't deterministic.

That said, the link you provided is very clear and appears to be very useful.

Oh and by the way, telling someone to consult the search function or Google is a pretty stupid thing to say (despite the fact I regularly see arsey users say it on here). You cannot consult an inanimate object or service. You can refer to it, use it, operate it, reference it, try it... you can't consult it, as that implies that it's a consultant and as such inhabits properties shared by living organisms. Don't try and act like a clever **** when you don't understand the words you're typing.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Oh, I'm really sorry as I am not a native English speaker, but I used this as a reference and I thought to myself that it's correct. I'll email the guys and tell them the proper definition:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/consult

con·sult   [v. kuhn-suhlt; n. kon-suhlt, kuhn-suhlt] Show IPA

verb (used with object)

2.

to refer to for information: Consult your dictionary for the spelling of the word.

So the dictionary is not an inanimate object. I see..

But these guys are rookies at dictionaries..

Let me search the Cambridge page, oh yes, it's here:

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/consult?q=consult

consult

verb /kənˈsʌlt/

Definition

• [T] to get information or advice from a person, book, etc. with special knowledge on a particular subject

If the symptoms get worse, consult your doctor.

I'm not quite sure how to get there - I'd better consult a map.

Point taken. You're absolutely right. The map isn't an inanimate object. But first thing's first:

1. I did not insult you in any matter using offensive words or name calling, as you did above.

2. I pointed out a thread where you could openly speak about "moving internal stock applications to sd card" and the results of this.

3. If I did not make myself clear or my post seemed a bit out of tune, I don't care.

[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
First things first, you still don't get it Alex but I'm not going to get into a grammar argument with you. I'll let bygones be bygones.

It's just unnecessary. If every douchebag turned round and said "use google", "the search engine is your friend", you'd never have any activity on this forum. You're not only being unnecessarily rude, you're slowing down the progress of those who want to gain information.
