Video facetalk on N1 - now working!!

Dk,

After disassembling and lots of code reading, I discovered that all we need is a simple change to one of the config files for the Talk app in order to enable video chat on the Nexus One.

Specifically, in:

/data/data/com.google.android.talk/shared_prefs/deviceCapabilities.xml

change "frontCamera" from "false" to "true".

Talk will then enable video chat mode. It will use our rear camera and we'll be able to receive video from other folk. Turning the device around and using a mirror gets us something close to the real experience!

Perhaps you could make this change in the deviceCapabilities.xml that is installed? Thanks.

Edit: It seems that this file is re-created at boot time / when Talk first starts up. But force-closing Talk and restarting it doesn't re-update the file. So if you edit the file, then force-close and then restart Talk, it works. Which means this change needs to be made to the file after it is first created rather than when the Talk app is installed.

That's what I feared. Is there any way to know for sure what's going on ?
[Nexus One Android Development] hmuboy:
I tried.but it doesn't work.are there something wrong ? :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] lenrek:
You need to make sure the USB cable is connected to your PC.
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
I also forgot that if you are using Windows, be sure to obtain some drivers

Hi, i flash this rom, and stop it in boot animation, what can I do to work?
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Wipe the data and flash it again.
[Nexus One Android Development] Vedro:
I make 2 times, first time loads but dont loads the launcher and menus just the statusbar, then reboot, and stop it in boot anim. I use BCM kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Format all sdcard partitions using 4Ext Recovery (not CWM). If still no go, provide a log
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
Hey DK, how goes the JellyBean battle? Ive been playing with Drew's, is a WIP, but definitely daily useable....except camera. I love the work you do and cant wait for your version of it....willing tester if you need one.
[Nexus One Android Development] Vedro:
Now dont work the launcher just status bar, i reflash rom then i wipe all formating and partitioning sd.
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Since your running ICS, I assume that you have Blackrose installed. That being said I should recommend that you should change the partition scheme to 210/10 which is my config for BCM ICS, if that doesn't work, re download the zip file.
[Nexus One Android Development] Vedro:
220/16 also good?
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Yeah lol that's good, but just change it to 210/10 and see how that goes, try Shakys kernel and re download the ROM, this is what you should try to make it work.
[Nexus One Android Development] Vedro:
I try all of your advice, but dont work.
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
When you are in the aroma installer, the installer will ask you to choose which launcher you want, choose Trebuchet, Stock or Nova Launcher
[Nexus One Android Development] Vedro:
220/10 + Nova works
[Nexus One Android Development] slooky:
Somehow I've managed not to - been two days, no SOD.
[Nexus One Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Well current ETA is the beginning of next week, if everything goes as planed. Just finishing adding everything from ICS. Then I have some ICS fixes and updates.
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
Sounds great, I can't imagine how much work goes into building from source on device not designed to accommodate it...I for one appreciate all the hard work. Thank you!

JellyBean animations in nova launcher

I always hated ICS animations on my nexus one as they never looked smooth however with latest update of nova launcher they added Jellybean animations and provided an option to render faster than light that finally has smoothed animations on ICS ..finally I am liking everything in ICS with this mod.
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
I researched this a bit, since I had the problem even with the latest ROM.

The issue is that there is a watchdog thread which regularly sends messages to each running app. If an app is not responding within a minute, the watchdog thread restarts the system.

One reason may be an app that's not compatible with ICS. If you check which services are running, and remove some apps that have services running, you may find the culprit. I removed two such apps and didn't have the reboot anymore.

Also, if you change the background process limit from standard to 3 or 4, the problem may go away as well as a side-effect (as an aside, that setting doesn't seem to be persisted across reboots.)
[Nexus One Android Development] djxcee:
If you guys are experiencing random reboots try removing your sd card. Use without it to see if that fixes your problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] srnoth:
I can confirm this... had a cheap 32GB Class 10 card which apparently didn't agree with ICS... random reboots every couple hours. Changed it to a Transcend 16GB Class 10 at the top of the class 10 list here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SDCardSpeedTests

And from then on ICS has been rock solid on my nexy.
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
Just to be clear, in my case, it wasn't random. I saw a reboot very consistently, shortly after an app was installed or updated from the Market. Didn't matter which app, the act of installing an app, any app, resulted in the reboot.

And the sd-card is fine. I had the same issue with a class 4 Transcend 32G sd-card and also with a brand-new class 10 Samsung card.

In my case, logcat showed a watchdog thread killing the system process, and that got me to do a Google search about the watchdog, which led to articles explaining that the watchdog thread sends messages to apps, and if they don't respond within a minute, the watchdog assumes that there is a deadlock and kills the system_server process.

http://debuggingisfun.blogspot.com/2010/11/androids-watchdog.html

Based on that, I went looking for running background processes, and removed apps one-by-one to find which ones were causing problems...

Update: logcat attached (had it on my office machine.)
[Nexus One Android Development] miker525:
interesting issue. Since I installed it a week or two ago, I've had no issues, besides the music issue I posted about the other day. That fixed itself with a Gplay update, but this morning I tried to make a phone call. The phone shut off. When I turned it back on the battery is now showing a constant 0% with a plug in your phone. When I plug it in it says charging but it never goes up from 0%. Then every couple of minutes the phone randomly reboots itself. I'll look back through pages and see if I can find a solution. If not I'll just wipe and reinstall. See if that fixes it.
[Nexus One Android Development] happyassshit:
@JoeF2

Very interesting indeed!

I had similar issues with every ICS rom and all kernels (texas,bcm,miui,aokp/shaky-,texas,bcm-kernel).

Usually I got random reboots. The most stable rom was aokp which gave me mostly one hot reboot after the phone was started.

Changing the sd-card didn't resolve the problem.

Have you tried texas' Jelly Bean?
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
I only put BCM on 3 weeks ago ;)

Since the N1 is my daily driver, I don't really like putting any pre-alpha stuff on there.

I'll wait for the JB ROMS to become more stable.

While BCM is stable for me now, I had some weird stuff going on during calls today, wifi dropping during calls and then my audio and mic being gone for a while until the wifi reconnected. That kind of issue is more important for me than JB right now. I'm already happy that ICS is mostly running on the N1 ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] nitasamurai:
Hi

First of all, I'm sorry in advance if this is not the right place for my question. Please feel free to point me to the right direction.

My problem: I installed the ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC4.1U2 on my N1, and it works very well. The only problem is that, every apps that required root tell me that my phone is not rooted. I don't understant why, bcause it was working with my previous one (cm-7.2.0-RC3-passion).

By installing root checker for example, it says I'm not rooted.

I have the superuser app installed and can give permission without problem

By running superoneclick, it says I'm already root.

Did anyone already experienced this ? and have a solution.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] XeloOw:
I had this problem with Es explorer

Hé told me i wasnt rooted
[Nexus One Android Development] nitasamurai:
Did you manage to resolve it? How?
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Go into the Super user app and delete all the allowed / denied apps list, update the SU Binary and reboot, then attempt to run a root app.
[Nexus One Android Development] XeloOw:
No i used Root explorer
[Nexus One Android Development] nitasamurai:
I followed the process you mentionned. The update went well, but then when attenpt to edit a system file, it keeps telling me that I do not have enough rights to do so or impossible to save the change.

By running the Root checker, it says I'm rooted.

I don't understand :(

Just for a note, I'm a real beginner so don't take my comments as saying that the ROM got problem. It's me.

Dany
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
What recovery are you using? If you are using 4EXT touch, do a advanced backup if your data only, then format all partitions except SD card, then reinstall the rom and restore the data
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
Probably a permissions issue.

Run fix_permissions.
[Nexus One Android Development] nitasamurai:
I formatted everything and re installed. The I use " root browser", it works like a charm.

Don't know thow what was not working. In case this help.

Thank you all for your help.

Disable zRam...or not

I've had similar issues, along with cell data simply stopping despite good signal (I see the "H" and have 5 bars...but no packets pass). These all seem to be related to zRam. Increasing zRam causes the chance of these happening to increase, and disabling zRam makes none of these shenanigans occur at all.

Unfortunately w/o zRam I get occasional spontaneous reboots, which aren't much fun.

I haven't captured a logcat to see where the memory pressure is coming from, or to try and diagnose what is happening (timeout somewhere?) when wifi/cell/audio/etc. disappear with zRam enabled. Mostly because I'm a bad tester. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
Ahh. Thank you. I indeed have zRam set to the max. I'll try lowering it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Deliamber:

[Nexus One Android Development] plusforce:
I have installed this rom

I have two problems. anyone can help me ?

1- sometimes wifi doesn't connect properly and I have trun it off and on many times

Or I have to restart the phone

2- When I record movies with camera phone can not play it . it just can play the first frame !

it seems the file is too heavy for phone .

[Nexus One Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
No. Working my ass of trying to get both ICS and JB ready for next week.

Edit:

Below is what I have been doing since yesterday.
[Nexus One Android Development] mtmjr90:
Just installed and I'm getting a lot of reboots (about 3-4 mins into use). Curious if others are having this problem (ROM bug) or if it might be another issue.

I'm using 4ext Recovery with an sd-ext ext4 partition of 1GB. Can't think of any other relevant details, but if you need em, I'll provide em.
[Nexus One Android Development] paolo-red1:
I hadn't this issue (and I think others neither) so I guess there is a problem with your installation.
[Nexus One Android Development] mtmjr90:
Yeah it seems to have corrected itself, been going most of the day and haven't seen another reboot. I think it may have had to do with m2sd moving things into place.
[Nexus One Android Development] boypro25:
Can I delete phone number in Frequently caller of Dial?

:(
[Nexus One Android Development] mtmjr90:
While the ROM is working almost perfectly for me, there's one fairly major app that is horribly buggy for me...Chrome. It constantly crashes and takes forever to do anything when it's not crashing. Just me? I've also found that Google Listen flat out won't download any podcasts...but as that app is hardly even supported by Google and has never been all that good, I can't really tell if that's a ROM issue or a Google one...not as important as Chrome since I can just use another podcatcher.
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
Care to explain what that has to do with the BCM ROM???

The general support line is that-a-way ===>

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Firefox is nowadays pretty usable... It is my main mobile browser by now.Never had FF crashing on the phone, not with CM7 nor with BCM.
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Chrome by far is not suitable for the Nexus One, it lags, and it takes up 50-60MBs
[Nexus One Android Development] mtmjr90:
Not so concerned about the space given m2sd...but yeah it's clearly not gonna work on the N1 any time soon. While the stock ICS browser is much better...it's still rather laggy:( Pretty much every other app is fast enough that I don't "feel" the lag though.

Just out of curiosity, would going into the Developer Options and enabling "Force GPU rendering" actually do anything? I know it was suggested for the Galaxy Nexus, but I don't know if the N1 has the hardware to take advantage of this feature.
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
I tried that on my tablet which was quite spec heavy and it was running ICS, after a while the screen had lines in them and they had fuzzy sort of dots around them, so when you ever try it do it with caution.
[Nexus One Android Development] chefp:
Google Talk is acting weird on this ROM. When I'm on mobile 3G/"4G" data and try to start an audio chat, it immediately disables mobile data. After I quit Talk, mobile data comes back after ~30 seconds. This is very consistent.

Google Talk audio chat (and video w/ the config hack) does work when the phone is on WiFi.

A friend's One S can do audio/video chats on mobile data (no WiFi). I recall that also worked on the Evo 4G.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to work around it?
[Nexus One Android Development] ponces:
@dk_zero-cool

Hwa has been fixed in Texasice version of Jelly Bean in the last nightly (30/7)! Will you include it in your version along with the updated kernel of Texasice to make it running correctly?
[Nexus One Android Development] mtmjr90:
Is it recommended to try other kernels with this ROM? I asked the same question in the Evervolv JB thread and they said it wasn't due to certain "hacks" used to make the ROM function properly.

If this is not the case with the current release of BCM, does anyone have any custom kernel recommendations? Overall, I'm very pleased with the performance of the ROM, but I like to try lots of combinations to see what's best. Additionally, is the included kernel available as a flashable zip in case I want to return to it? Thanks!

[Nexus One Android Development] ivanoff7:
I also experience reboots from time to time. It's better with my new SD but still...

I am looking for a way of knowing why the N1 is rebooting in the first place...

I know that lacking permissions on some directory (/data/app for exemple ) when installing appli is direct reboot but I can't guess every problem.

Where is the log and how to activate it ? thank you !
[Nexus One Android Development] adio201:
My nexus is running fine with this rom but if ur getting random reboots you might have some bad blocks
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanoff7:
It must be with the internal memory then. But I suspect software problems too (maybe related to an app I have)...

Is there a log I could activate to make sure what's going on ?
[Nexus One Android Development] plusforce:
I have just one problem with this rom

In the browser , I can not select keys or bottons in pages precisely.

Speccially when there is two or three keys next to each other .

Or when I want to type username or passworkd in a login page .

They are not accurate.

any chance to solve this issue in the next update ?

I believe staibilty and speed of this rom is much better than jb and gb .
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
There probably won't be another update in quite a while, dk is working on jellybean apparently
[Nexus One Android Development] raist1976:
That might not be entirely true considering I can still see a lot of commit to the ICS branch from DKZero is on his gittub : https://github.com/dk-zero-cool.

BCM kernel has been renamed to SpazeDog :)

Well... can't wait for BCM with jellybean flavor ! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Before starting a lot of guess work in here, let me just clerify. I had planed to release JB and ICS yesterday, but some issues came up that I had hoped to have fixed to day. I am still working on these and as soon as this is sorted out (I hope to day, but it does not look good at the moment) I will release it. So it will not be a while. 1-2 days tops, or maybe just a few hours depended on how well this day will turn out :)

And yes, BCM ~> SpazeDog
[Nexus One Android Development] adio201:
Hey dk zero can you include the all in one script you posted on another thread with bcm jelly bean
[Nexus One Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
You are talking about Mounts2SD currently included in BCM? Trust me, with the new Disk Manager you don't want that. I have also removed the UI for it when I included the one for Disk Manager, so it would be 100% terminal controlled.
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
Disk Manager? What new sorcery are you brewing now? Sounds very intriguing....
[Nexus One Android Development] JoeF2:
I assume that can be disabled. I am using S2E, which works fine.

Yes.

If you read the original BCM thread OP, you would see that it is recommended to turn on KSM (Kernel sampage merging) in Memory management settings. These devices (Passion and Bravo) to not have enough memory to handle ICS with HWA without this or a SWAP partition.
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
Did that 1st thing
[Nexus One Android Development] Menelkir:
Just in case, you'll need/like to add this at the final of your /system/etc/init.d/05hostname:

Bootloop here too when rebooted. First attempt took ages and then I got lock screen but it was very slow and then hung and rebooted.

Back noe after clearing caches.

(Btw I have KSM enabled and have a 256mb swap also for good measure.)
[Nexus One Android Development] Menelkir:
Post some logcats (I made the same thing except for swap and doesn't had any reboot).
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
I don't have any random reboots. But if I try and reboot on purpose, I get a bootloop then.
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
Hmm. Have rebooted a few times since to test it out. No more bootloops so far.

The only other thing I did when I cleared the caches was to fix permissions, just in case. Fingers crossed anyhow.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
That's strange for me its fine!

Is your minimum CPU 384 smartass v2?

Did you use titanium backup to reinstall your apps? Hmmm

[Nexus One Android Development] genecor:
hi guys, was recommended to try this ROM out and am psyched to flash it and give it a test run. However, after getting blackrose setup with the recommended custom partition size and so on, I've tried installing this ROM a few times (standard install) and it seems to take either take a super long time or gets hung at the unmounting part of the install i.e. no progress for 20-30 mins easily.

Should I try a custom install instead or is there's something I should do to get this working?

thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] kodabmx:
I'd use 4ext recovery...

what does logcat say when you first boot it? or can you even get that far... I did custom and just played with the settings until it worked properly... (first couple times there were missing apps like static wallpaper...)
[Nexus One Android Development] pconwell:
Mine was doing the same thing. You can either force a reboot when it hangs (power+vol down+track ball), and then go into recovery and do a factory wipe - OR, what worked for me, is to skip the 'extra' apps during the install.

I can get it to install (with the above info), but I'm still seeing boot loops...
[Nexus One Android Development] Androidity3000:
My install was perfect and fast. I used the custom backup but only skipped like 2 apps not to install. Used all other stock settings.
