I don't know if it is just me but for me this is considered a bug: Whenever I play a music it suddenly stops for 1 sec and theres an annoying sound and then resumes. As a music lover, it sucks. I experienced this problem since beta 6. Anyone else experienced the same?And anyone have a fix? thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] 008bond:
This is an old bug, please search or use general thread for queries, I help there.

Solution:

Freeze DSPmanager using titanium backup. I think permanently removing DSP manager from system should also work. Just freeze it, and that screeching sound will go away.

Haa, it's supported msm7x27 but Samsung didn't connect all needed pins from mboard to usb socket.

We know how to do that, it isn't so complicated, but it isn't working on our devices :-)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ilarrain:
I think Samsung probably didn't connect the detection and the power pins, but the data pins are shared (USB-OTG specs), so they should be there. Power is resolved using external power (eg a powered hub). The tricky part sould be switching modes (slave -> host, and back).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
You really want to get fun with it? It doesn't make any sense, more work than value of it ;-)

Or are pushing changes to public repos only when you release a version?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] djsky2011:
Does Marcin have access to the sources or is it just you Maclaw, the reason i'm asking is that a few other devs are interested in making commits and changes to CM9 but can't. They want to develop for our ACE but can't so our community is shrinking. If you have no time to make commits why not welcome them to the team? This is a serious post so please don't delete MOD.

Anyone who wants to experiment with the code and make positive changes to help Maclaw please reply to this post as it's important to keep our development community growing!

Their is no I in team especially if you alone posses the code, not complaining just being real in wishing the best for all of us.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Blekota:

Thats the proximity sensor

The brightness settings were broken a few builds back, guess its broken again if your brightness changes. :(

Have used the new build for a few hours so i don't know if the bug is there or not
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sentrax123:
Your argument is invalid. S5830i Have a GPU! Broadcom – VideoCore IV HW with OpenGL ES-CM 1.1 support!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SiccaGm:
usually proximity sensor is implemented using a light sensor chip.

i can't remember if the stock rom gives auto blacklight adjustement. :/

Its a Software based GPU that uses the CPU to render.It lacks a lot of GPU ONLY features needed in ICS.

Really old Android phones(Android 0.0-1.5) used this method to compensate the lack of the GPU i have no idea why did Samsung return to what is more or less the stone age.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mastermid:
You should also read all comments from the article which you've given the link to.

It doesn't depend on visible (day)light - it detects only infrared light which is emitted by itself. So this is the reason why you can turn your phone toward lamp and it still works (despite it is ligthed very strong) and why it works during night.

This is also the reason why you can't make it auto brightness sensor.

So, to everyone:

This is not a bug. Ace has never adjusted brightness automaticly, even on stock roms.

Only cpu intensive benchmark test...

Some other rom devs build their cm9 with linaro and without for direct comparsion. Only 3-10 percent better with linaro. So dont await a boost in performance with linaro. Linaro is cpu and kernel optimization and wont help with graphic acceleration. Only positive aspect we can await is a better batterylife because of cpu and kernel optimizations if im right. But google yourself and youll find much benchmark results comparsions dont thrust only the video from the linaro project.

Request:

Is it possible apply Tablet UI?

Answer

NO

Actually, I do not think this is true. I tried to set my DPI to 120. Having the opportunity to set the themes XHDPI-HDPI. If it is possbile to apply themes with those resolutions, as I believe that setting standards is also possbile that have permanent resolution and thus create a mod. a mod for the TabletUI. Am I wrong?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Lijop:
This is where you guys need to ask for the drivers

https://developer.qualcomm.com/foru...optimization-adreno/10412?page=1#comment-7058

this is where things get done, that is where we got our drivers. so you guys should bug (write) there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] cvs26:
Hi All,

Couldn't help but notice that my blog TheCodeArtist got a sudden burst of visitors from xda-developers yesterday. Referring to my post about proximity/light sensor on Android, the devs seem to have concluded that ambient light sensing(ALS) is NOT possible on Galaxy-ACE. This is wrong.

Galaxy ACE (cooper) uses TAOS sensor(taosinc.com):

https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android_kernel_ics/blob/master/arch/arm/configs/cooper_defconfig#L1277

Further digging thru the kernel code, it is a generic driver for TMD2711x series of chips by TAOS

https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android_kernel_ics/blob/master/drivers/i2c/chips/taos.c#L683

From the manufacturer website, (TAOS is now AMS) we obtain the datasheet for the chip which is "ALS & proximity sensor"

http://www.ams.com/eng/content/download/250283/976077/file/TMD2771-A.pdf

TMD2771 contains 2 photodiodes(channel 0,1).

CH0 is responsive to both visible and infrared light.

Of particular interest are the following registers for CH0:

0x00 Enable

0x0F ALS-gain

0x14 ALS-0:7

0x15 ALS-8:15

The current driver in the kernel-tree does NOT use these regs and hence ALS functionality is NOT used. (The h/w though IS capable of ambient light sensing.)

TODO:

1. In Kernel-driver, using above regs, add ALS functionality

|- register second input device

|- implement enable/disable, work_queue func for ALS

`- input_report_abs LUX values under new driver

2. Update sensor-HAL to use the ALS driver as Light-sensor.

3. Backlight Auto-brightness can then be implemented by using the light-sensor available above.

this cm9 has real tablet ui ( because it can also be made for tablets and is fully integrated

on cm7 it was originally made for Only phones but also came to tablets

thats why u can have full tablet ui on cm9

but to enable it you need to modify some stuff in frameworks_base in the source code and compile that part of source
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ZenPluS:
does not seem so difficult ... pity they did not know where to start (this is why you do not find the damn user guides)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] cvs26:
For anyone interested:

Here's how to implement both

proximity and light input devices in a single driver

file:

https://github.com/blindi/LameSung-Kernel/blob/master/drivers/sensor/cm3663.c

This is a driver for Capella cm3663 found on Galaxy-SII.

This supports both light and proximity functionality.

(just like TMD27711 on Galaxy-ACE)

Also a few interesting notes(from TAOS's site) for interested devs:

1. Reducing IR crosstalk in ALS-based proximity sensors.

2. TAOS I2C-comm protocol and Proximity-detection algorithm.

IMHO, light sensor functionality, though simple, was never added to ACE probably coz of lack of time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] :
Will check asap and let you know
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] kazoum:
The auto brightness feature isn't that important, as Maclaw said.

But if you want a similar feature, it is pretty easy. Just add the brightness button to the energy widget. Then, choose the values you want (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, I guess).

Let me give you my example. Most of the time, my screen brightness is by default 25%. But when I'm on the street, and the sun is too bright, I just slide down the status bar, and press the brightness button in the energy widget. And the brightness goes instantly to 100%, and I can see the screen perfectly. If I want to go back, just press the button again and the brightness is set to 25%. Very easy and useful!

Hope I helped someone ;)
