Thanks guys, I took the plunge and installed a couple of days ago and all is proper stable . Although I flashed the finger scanner fix but still not working though. Still, great ROM

Atrix 4g running jokersax 4 cm9
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian426:
The fingerprint fix is for navigation, not security. There hasn't been a build of CM9 with the fingerprint sensor rolled into it as a lock option since Acerbix's early build.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acondie13:
haven't used turl. i'm on jokersax .4 and it's pretty good. few problems including crash when using browser in landscape. and a few features still missing but overall very stable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewishnl:
Working/Borked

I have used both turl's and jokersax's CM9 builds for a while now. Originally I preferred jokersax's since it seemed nicer with less rubbish and was getting many more updates. However, the latest jokersax broke the camera totally ("Could not connect to camera" or something of the sort), so I switched at turl's build 10. I also noticed that some of the more recent jokersax builds camera's stop working after taking a picture in portrait.

Borked in both:

Video recording,

Landscape browsing,

Chrome tabs,

Fingerprint unlock,

Apparently some 3D gaming multi-touch issues, however I haven't noticed anything major (it is a little slow but not massively),

Battery life is not brilliant and they do get hot sometimes

Borked in Jokersax's:

While jokersax's was updated more often I did notice that there were more bugs (basically he pushed updates even when they were more broken than the last to test stuff with the community), these include random Wifi and 3G issues and the like as well as the camera issues I mentioned earlier.

Borked in turl's:

Haven't noticed anything major other than the stuff borked in both in turl's yet, will update soon if I notice anything.

And btw turls has fingerprint sensor working for navigation (which admittedly is a bit weird).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
Has anyone noticed that the bottom keys don't light up anymore with turl's 8-10?

Not sure if mine burned out or just stopped working (and i don't wan to go to stock just to find out)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vazay:
Turl's v10 bottom keys light works fine, must be your hardware
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I think you have to turn on auto brightness
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabod:
mine don't work also. :confused:

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

just noticed that this solved the problem, however auto brightness turns the screen too dim for me. Anyway to overwrite this setting to turn the screen brighter but without turning off auto brightness?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
That's what I found too...On stock roms, the nav keys are independent of the brightness setting, while with Turl's v8 it's tied to auto-brightness.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doolittle Duckbill:
At the moment, CNA is gathering momentum with their nightlies. However, you have to copy about 1/3 of the files over from Jokers CM9 to get it working.

But I think those people over at CNA have a nice setup for maintaining up-to-date files. Promising.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I set mine up to work in the notification bar by sliding till I get the brightness I want (cm7) they should also have that setting in cm9. Just make sure to turn off auto brightness.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Hi All

I found out that it is easy to replace the Wifi driver of any firmware

Wifi drivers & Sound control are located at FFS file

\SystemFS\Driver\

Wifi uses simple Wlan_bcm4329_***.bin files

So a simple replacement of these files will lead to a change in the driver (Can be done with PFS file)

I tried this with Wifi driver from XXJL2 on XXLB2

I am satisfied with Wifi performance now but i like this game :D

I am looking for a firmware with the best Wifi driver

Any suggestions will be really appreciated

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
I don't remember all the drivers, but never had problem with wifi. :o

Maybe someone who take more care than me can help :D

Nice find, will wait for your feedback ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
A PFS file to test old Wifi driver from XXJL2 on any bada 2.0 firmware

Please test and give feedback if Wifi is better with it

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] anghelyi:
So we a can add the drivers from 1.2? I always felt that wifi was more stable under 1.2 than 2.0...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Yes

It is like a router firmware

Flash the file attached above with Multiloader to get Wifi driver from XXJL2

Please i need feedback on this :D

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] pawlakpl:
Maybe in drivers we can unlock wifidirect options ?

Or is it blocked in firmaware ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] ~MaX~:
this method can lead to small patches for firmwares. i like that :D

we can use this to create customized firmwares for everyone by using pfs updates.

for example: i hate it that they removed the front cam option in the new betas and it would be great if you could upload the latest cam driver with front cam option as pfs file

greets,
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
Max: it's already done, using camero.so file from kk5 firmware and modifying signature in GeneralSoInfo.so.sig

pawlakpl: don't think that will work... but cost nothing to test... maybe with S8600 wifi drivers.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] anghelyi:
OK, I uploaded the file, wifi works as before :) I'll test if I can feel the difference... Is there a method to check the version of the driver?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Yes i found the version stated in Wlan_bcm4329_rte.bin & Wlan_bcm4329_rte-wapi.bin files

You can check it by opening the file with Hex editior

For the one from XXJL2

For the one from XXLB2

Strange thing that both has the same version stated in there !!!!! :confused:

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
Hi Mylove90,

For testing, I took all Wlan_bcm4329*.bin files from S8600 XXKI9 firmware.

It's still works on wifi, no difference.

But strange thing, it change something on volume.

I can't explain it because my poor english... :o but it seems there is also for audio in this files :confused:

Edit: my falt, I used all the driver repertory lol
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Is it possible that you took WM8994_EQ_Data_Load.txt in your PFS by mistake ?!!!

Because this file is for sound driver :D

If you didn't then I've no idea WTH is going inside these files :D

Sorry further research need to be done :o

i tested your wifi.pfs file but i still have weak wifi signal even in front of my router. where i can find .pfs files of different firmwares?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Sorry

It is already included in Elite Rom so you didn't have to try it

This is the best Wifi driver built for S8500/S8530

I guess that getting source code for the driver appears to be easy as it is used in Galaxy S so it should be open source

But not idea how it compiled for bada :(

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] cyber kamikaz:
I'm using connectify in my laptop to make a hotspot, I get full signal in the top menu bar

How can i extract the wifi.pfs from the fw i have?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
you can get wifi drivers found in your firmware files by extracting FFS file from your firmware and going to path

you can compare files after extracting my file

all extraction process is done with Wave Remaker

i worked for camera driver a bit more (i'm still have final exam :( )

in bada 2 we have a folder which name is "CameraCaps" i fond it on derives folder (i don't know if it's the only driver for cam!)

but in bada 1.2 there is no "CameraCaps" in drivers folder i found it in "SystemFS\User"

but there is another problem! in bada 1.2 there is 3 files While in bada 2 we have 2 additional files!

now what should i do? replace the file and ignore that files added in bada 2?

guys! i don't want to get camera fail ! :D

Screenshot added
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
I guess the two additional files are from the emulator from bada SDK

CameraCaps folder is for just the layout

The driver should be *.bin files

Also i edited these xml files before...Camera failed appeared to me just one after editing the file 4 times and trying it & i just fixed it by placing original file back

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] VIVASAMSUNG.:
Hi !

i think maybe "CE147_F2_0x05_0xSB.bin" , "CE147_F2U.bin" , "CE147_F3_0x05_0xSB.bin" and "CE147_F3U.bin " are camera drivers.

we use these files for fix camera fail and these file with the same name exist in bada 2. i replace these files from S-Tune and restart the phone but no change in camera quality . :(

any idea?

ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

should i use camera FW upgrade instead restarting ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
It is not possible to replace these files through Stune

Try replacing them with a PFS file

Please don't try Camera FW upgrade...it is unsafe

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] VIVASAMSUNG.:
Open S-Tune

Browse->SystemFS->Driver

we can see all drivers from S-Tune.

anyway !

How can I create a PFS file?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandrew:
I'm curious as to the importance of CPU vs GPU in our phones. The two big processors from MWC were Qualcomm's S4 and Nvidia's Tegra 3. From my research, it seems like the S4 has a better CPU but Tegra 3 wins in graphical processing.

Is the speed of android usually limited by CPU or GPU?

Which one would be more important in apps like web browser and games?

Is it worth it to wait for Cortex A15 processors this fall, or is that much speed just overkill?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
I'd saymthe CPU is more important, since there's phones out there that don't have a GPU and because pre-honeycomb, the GPU was mostly used for minor rendering and inside games.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
The gpu is a graphics proccesor unit, it is that which processes the graphic information displayed on the screen, having one of these takes the responsibility away from the CPU leaving it to do the other things it needs to do.

Having a gpu on a phone I don't think is really that nessasary yet as we are not doing anything that intensive with our phones graphicaly, who's doing cadcam or 3D rendering or graphic animation or anything else like that on a phone? However as time goes on and phones get used more and more then a gpu will be a must...

just look at the PC world say 20. Years ago we were using Hercules 2 tone graphics cards, then 4 tone cga wow then 16 tone ega then omg 256 colour vga. Then started the 3d era when a really fantastic gpu was a must in stepped the voodoo 3d graphics.....

Anyway I could go on for hours I think u might get the idea..

Sorry for long post :p:D:)

sent from my legend, currently using extream legend fuse™
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schriss:
I'd say both: CPU and GPU are equally important, to allow for super smooth UI experience AND some decent gaming.

So now we have Tegra 3 (A9 + nice GPU) and Qualcomm S4 Krait (A15 + average GPU), both being great.

If you want to wait, there will be Tegra 4 coming out next year, S4 Pro (quadcore + more powerful GPU) and not forget the TI OMAP5.

I usually go buy whatever there is best at the moment and I enjoy new hardware while waiting for new stuff to come out. The waiting for better stuff will never end as new devices are coming out every few months, so up to you how often do you want to upgrade.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shroomr:
I keep reading that you need linux to correctly partition a SD disk for booting on the NT. I suspect that most people are just not familiar with the new Windows diskpart command. I have created several bootable sd cards with no failures on Windows 7. Here is how I do it. The diskpart commands are in quotes.

1) mount sd card in windows with usb adapter or whatever.

2) Open command prompt as administrator

3) open diskpart

4) list the available disks with "list" command

5) select the disk with "select disk 1" where 1 is the number of the sd card from the list command.

6) list the partitions on the disk with "list partitions"

7) delete all the existing partition with "delete partition 1" where 1 is the existing partition - repeat if there are multiple partitions.

8) create the new partition with "create partition primary" this will create a partition using all the sd. If you want it a particular size add the size parameter "size=20" with the size in MBs

9) select the new partition "select partition 1"

10) now format it to fat32 "format FS=Fat32 label='boot'" -- this will take a while

11) now set the partition as bootable with "active"

12) copy the boot files to the the sd card

I used this method to create a 4gb boot sd card on which I loaded the files from

R3 Card for the Nook Tablet [Root, Rom and Recovery] by Albert Wertz to create a 4gb version.

This is not free, but really easy and working well: Acronis Disk Director Suite, under windows lets you play with partitions all possible ways.

Hi guys,

Right so I own both Galaxy SII(personal), GT-S5830(business) and my wife has a GT-S5830. Located in the UK

Now I have been looking at the latest CyanogenMod and would like to install this ROM on my GT-S5830, as I understand this is one of the best custom ROM's available for this phone.

However every where I read advises me to first backup my /efs folder, only problem is I can't find this folder to back it up! So far I have tried EFS Pro and a few others, but they all fail or give me an empty folder.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I have been researching this since Friday and I'm pretty much ready to blow a gasket.... :mad:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Dont ever try to touch ace efs partition as its dangerous. Many had hard brick their ace because of tinkering with that efs partition. Ace's efs partition is abit different from other device because it's hidden and unmounted upon booting.

Don't listen to anybody who says to leave the efs alone. I don't have your device but I STRONGLY urge you to find a way to back up that file. If you have already rooted the phone then a good file explorer should allow you to make a copy and send it to dropbox or save it to your external SD. Even mass storage and copy/paste it to your hard drive on your computer. And yes... CyanogenMod is the very best.

Good luck!
