[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
While waiting for DZK to have a decent break from school, I have been talking with a great developer hashcode0f (Hashcode) about this exact thing. kexec _IS_ possible, however, very improbable at the moment. I've been looking into trying to build the 3.0 version of the kernel for the DX2, but things haven't been looking too good... Namely nVidia is VERY SLOW on releasing their sourcecode for both the kernel and the processor... :-/

Anyhow, back to kexec... Yes, it's possible, there is a developer for the RAZR that has kexec working, however it only fires up on one processor. That would not do to well on the DX2. I have been trying several things that "might" work for kernel space drivers, namely modprobe and insmod, but I'm not having much success with that either. (Damn locked boot loader!)

If there is anyone else here that has extensive Linux/Unix/*nix experience and has a DX2 and is willing to work with me on this, please PM me! Thanks!

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
how is putting kexec to use improbable at this moment? is it because of the kernel/hw release from nvidia?
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
There are several issues that stand in the way. First and foremost is the fact that nVidia hasn't/won't release the kernel sourcecode. nVidia HAS released the 2.3 kernel source, but I was looking to compile 3.0 or better. Another issue is the nVidia CPU and GPU devices. In order to compile a "working" kernel, one would need the sourcecode for those devices. A third, is "injecting" the new kernel into the operating space with a locked boot loader. hpark21 on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562133 has given me some great insight on the kexec issues. I've pm'd him and am waiting to hear back. Hopefully we can/might get somewhere with this.

Though this relates to Android Development, it is more of a question isn't it? So, it should belong to General or Q & A. Since when did Dev section become the general section?

There are 2 recent threads here that need to be moved. Anyway, looking forward to what Moonshadow learns about this stuff.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I wondered the same thing lol. Dev is where all the action is!! This is where all the cool toys are put on display so people flock to this section. The large majority of Q&A is made up of fairly general questions and this particular one doesnt fit that description. However, it is a question nonetheless.

I too can't wait to see what shadow does with this. I've become a fan :)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Ok...well figured it belonged here because it pertains to development
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
This would have to be developed...i.s the development thread only about roms?

This would actually have to be developed and will be worked on...hence again that funny "d"

My rant is over now
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I believe you can put almost anything you've created in development.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Its a speculative thread! To the general! Rant off.
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
INFORMATION ONLY: Regarding kexec for the DX2

Okay, I have contacted kholk, the guy who has kexec mostly working on the GSM RAZR. He has pointed me in the right direction, BUT, this is going to take a boatload of work... :D

The electronics piece, I can definitely do... Which will lead me to debugging kexec. Once I have a "viable" test platform, I will be PM'ing those of you who have volunteered to assist me... This WILL be a team effort. Let's get cracking! I'll update as I have information. Most likely in a new thread.

hey moon, ill help as much as i can if you need it, but im ready and excited, lets get going, this is going to be awesome!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] peslap:
Hello to everyone!

I have one simple question: do I risk something if I charge the Note with another charger than the original one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
I don-t know, but I think no.

I charged many time my note with htc charger and gs2 charger.

Ciao
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toofank:
I almosr never use the original charger. I use the charger that came with the bluetooth headset and everything is fine :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] david.huwyler:
It doesn't matter what kind of charger you have. The only thing you must look at is the voltage of the source (5V DC) and it must be a micro usb plug ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
im using my old htc hd2 charger as the samsung one seems to have packed up and isnt charging properly
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
The easiest way to charge your Note is of course via a USB>Micro USB cord plugged into a laptop or PC (where you are guaranteed the voltage is correct), however if you are using a generic or knock off wall wart charger than provides a micro USB connector there is some small chance that it will not charge your Note.. look for the charging icon and if its not charging, toss the charger and get another.

There is no specific risk to the device, provided that it (the charger) has a micro-usb intended for charging generic devices..its just that some modern portable devices have a stricter requirement (tighter tolerance) for charging voltage and simply will not charge outside that voltage range.. my BB9930 does exactly this..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] esatch:
I'm using an hd2 charger without problems

:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Since all micro/mini usb chargers have the same voltage, and vary only in the power output - the only problem you could face is slow charging, or no charging at all if the charger doesn't have enough juice. But it certainly won't harm the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NataN_xy:
I'm using my old Nokia N900 charger without problems ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chaosdefinesorder:
I'm using an old HTC mains-to-USB and a Nokia microUSB cable...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
My stock charger has a slight squeal, so I usually use the charger for my BB Curve 9300. Does totally fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whmcal:
My Note was purchased from expansys UK but shipped in from mainland Europe. As it was to be sold in the UK, expansys had to supply a UK adapter rather than an EU one ...I received an HTC adapter with my phone. At first, I was worried, but discovered that it works beautifully with my Note. Charges faster than generic Samsung chargers too! You should be fine using another standard charger
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
For the first 3 weeks I was using a blackberry (original) Bold II charger.

I noticed charge time was too long. And maybe even battery life was shorter.

Im not 100% sure about the second statement but the first is confirmed.

When I started using the Note charger it was faster. Not super fast compared to iPhone or iPad but faster than using the Bold charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
I never use my samy charger..Im using my DHD charger..no problem at all..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ainidmor:
Tested three microusb from my "old" htc hd2, two original nokia microusb, and a sony ericsson original microusb.

HTC and Nokia dont work. Can't charge and no data connection.... I only can charge and data connect with the samsung and the sony ericsson microusb cables. I cant understand!!!

(the nokia cable also cant work with hd2!!)

microusb is an standard???

HTC minijack stereo earphone dont work with samsung, also dont work the nokia earphone...

minijack stereo is an standard???

Regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Most modern USB chargers should be fine (I use my old iPhone charger for the Note, for example.) Watch the power output though - some tablet chargers are rated at 2A+ and that could overdrive your charging circuit and cause damage. If you make sure your charger is about 1A (and 5V, obviously) then you should be fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
I use a nokia charger to charge mine!

Make sure it gives you 1A of output and you are fine!

:D

Well emuX said it all!

1A of output and 5V and you are fine!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
Actually the charging current is limited by internal resistance of the battery, so the battery effectively "accepts" charge. Charging current is not "pushed" in by the charger...

obviously a charger from say a BB is likely to be current limited and so longer charging times would be expected, but an iPad charger will work fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BuddyJoe83:
I am even using a charger meant for my old HTC hehe, powerful enough adapter :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RudiRulez:
I wouldnt worry too much, I charge my note with my iPhone charger purely because the USB port faces a different way so I can actually fit it on my plug extensions without loseing 2 sockets.

Pretty much anything with an output of 5Vdc and a minimum of 1A will do just fine.
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Apologies for what i know is another ICS thread but i read that it was being distributed in 30,000 batches based on CID.

now i just installed and checked my CID and it came up with CID_001 however i am yet to receive the update?

Does anyone have any ideas as to when/what CID's are being given the update first?
[HTC Sensation] calvin0512:
HTC__Y13 can make it.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
CID__001 doesn't exist, HTC__001 does

As to who's getting it, it seems to be going through the Nordic countries at present and will roll out elsewhere in the coming weeks
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Cheers Eddy i did mean HTC__001. Ah i will have to wait for it to hit UK shores then.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xepter Keedas:
Hi all,

I've just recently made the switch from CM9 FXP and Kieran's kernel. I decided to go back to a stock rom but with DoomKernel. I flashed both the .42 and the .62 but DoomKernel 12 fails to boot on both 2ghz and 1.6ghz. It just loads and then powers off. No blue light, nothing. I've used DK before in the past and I'm wondering why it's not working now. I even tried using the old DK v8 I had (that previously worked) and now the same problem, just a bootloop. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Did you try flashing to totally stock incuding kernel first?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
DoomKernel 12 is broken and known to not boot. 11 works fine
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shocito:
Doomkernel v12 has error on boot, don't install it.

I recommend you to install v11.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
The OP said he tried going back to an earlier known good version and still had trouble, so I don't think it's just a version issue. I believe I have read more than 1 post indicating that if you use DarkForest or DoomKernel and want to switch to the other, you need to switch to stock first. Not sure why, but hey! He's not working now so it's worth a shot.

Make sure you reboot in between and maybe pop in and out of recovery before the next step.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xepter Keedas:
Yes, I did flash stock kernel. It's ok now though. I used DoomKernel v11. Strange how v8 didn't boot but it's always worked. Oh well. Thanks for the help everyone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Trinition:
I'm still on (rooted) Stock 2.3.5. Even the the last round of 2.3.6 failed to install, so I never got any of the new 2.3.6 goodness I heard some describing -- new modem, drivers, etc. for better connectivity and longer battery.

Does the ICS leak brought to us by DesignGears include all of that extra goodness I was supposed to be getting in 2.3.6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] afwx:
You will get a new modem, new firmware, new OS that will be better than 2.3.6. ICS 4.0 and GB 2.3.6, comparing the two, are like comparing apples and oranges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Trinition:
That's what I was hoping.

When 2.3.6 made the rounds I read some stuff got skipped if you just flashed the ROM (i.e. the newer modem?)

I guess this leak is more than *just* the 4.0 ROM then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
yup, its an entire **phone** update, and I'm jealous :-D
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] vlt96:
Am I the only one who thinks that an app doing something at absolutely anything you do with the phone, this is not draining, it just uses 100% of the CPU when you flip the phone...

And lets not mention that, to make phone silent when turned upside down means it has a permanent wakelock, and sensor constantly finding what is the position etc...

At the end, you will have a very smart phone, but you won't be able to answer a call, because when answering phone must change all the settings, and then reboot, and... whatever, this thing sucks! Just like juice defender, but it is oriented 100% on losing performance and battery and control over the phone...

Oh you can try to make it do a factory reset every day if it is so smart;)

.........
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Read first, post after. Tasker app does not keep your phone awake as most tasks are set to trigger while it is awake and the display is on. Like the task to open automatically wifi when you open your browser or xda app and set it off after closing those apps. And when setting triggers based on power settings or time, the wakelocks are not constant, being activated just like alarm wakelocks. In fact you can set smart alarms too. Or actions based on calls/sms/mms received from specific ppl at specific times etc., or actions based on gestures set by you, proximity sensor ...

Tested wakelocks with BBStatus and no wakelocks, the phone goes to deep sleep. Tested cpu freq with Cool Tool and max freq is used only when starting the triggered app or doing the task set. In the rest of the time the freq oscillates normally.

And please do not make comments on any app based on how other apps behave. Try it then post.

If anyone is using this app, post your profiles or the ones you think are usefull.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Hanny:
nice thread! let me share my fav profiles :D

@vlt

Yea, you are the only one who thinks it because otherwise the app wont get 4-5 stars at always if it is battery consuming ;) also, just because the developer had explained clearly how the tasker consume battery. its in the userguide inside and im vrry satisfied with it.

@voyager

tasker is just amazing to me :D ive been using it for long because it really makes my phone even smarter.

undoubtedly yes, using sensors as a context is the most battery comsuming but we can Limit the use of its detection by ourselves. not mentioning its pre-installed functionality that it wont detect when screen off, for your silent mode thing we can add another context - how about only when our launcher is in the foreground? that makes things even easier

now im glad to share my most frequently used profiles (not giving you guys my private ones XD) including

- vibrate 0.3 second with a little toast msg when power is plugged

- vibrate 0.3 sec and show how much battery left with toast when power is unplugged

- weekdays auto vibration mode in the morning

- auto rotation only on browser

- temporarily disable lockscreen when specified apps are opened (my default set for u is calculator)

- CM7 camera anti-flickering (good for those who OC with stock kernel :D)

- brightness 80% when camera activates and restore after exit

although gestures and proximity sensor contexts are SUPER COOL, other than the time i show off to my friends xD, ive always been avoiding the sensors to eliminate any chances of over using them and cause batteries.

so, i guarantee my profiles are super battery friendly.... :p

hehehe you must be tempted to download immediately? do it! tell me what do you think of my favourite profiles which are always activated on my P500 :cool:

to import, unzip my zip and u get xml files. go to tasker, long press "profiles" tab, import, choose the xml. done!

lol dont worry abt the little tip, Miasmic never gives malicious tasks :D

Happy tasking!
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
I suppose camera anti-flickering profile uses the OC task and downclocks the phone when opening camera right?

Nice ideea!
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Hanny:
yup!! very handy, then the clock goes back up when leaving the cam ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] vlt96:
How do you change OC on it?

.........
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Set a profile which is based on a context on which the task will trigger, for example when open camera, set task to set clock to 600 Mhz, then set exit app task to reset the clock back to your usual OC freq.

You can play like that with almost everything on you phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] storm11:
I use a profile to like turn in gps when i open maps and automatically close it later
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] vlt96:
Doesn't it have an option for network location too?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Yap! Also can set to start wifi/data when opening browser and disconnect when closing it etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Look under task>net. If not there then no.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] mcc747:
I can't get it executes the task, the notification keep saying no active profiles. Imported missmic XML profiles (thanks to miasmic). please help, thanks....
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Try setting some simpler tasks like start wifi when opening browser. Miassmic`s tasks can be set manually too.

Here`s another profile

Enable WiFi when at Home

Context: State –> Cell Near

Tap the “Start” button and move around your home as your area may be covered by several cells (the “<” sign represents the tower you’re currently connected to). You may stop it after few minutes.

Action: Net –> WiFi

Another profile which sets up a shortcut on home screen for taking instant photos, without opening camera app (point and shoot)

Long-press on the Home-screen > Shortcuts > Task

Action: Media –> Photo Series Time (So that new photos don’t overwrite the previous one and every new photo will have the time attached with its name.)

If discrete is checked, there will be no sign of the picture being taken.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] voyager20021:
Profiles i use

I attached some of my usual profiles.

What they do:

Missed call> after any missed call with display locked the phone vibrates 0.7 sec than waits one minute and says "you had one call x minutes ago" every minute for 30 minutes. Profile must be used with display unlocked profile

Display unlocked> if you had a missed call and unlock the phone the missed call profile stops

Charging>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) phone will vibrate 07 sec and say "charging"

Battery full>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) and battery reaches 100% the phone will say "battery full"

Profiles can be improved or modified easy to reach anyones expectations.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] TheRedHunter:
This application has a few problems like battery drain .

Another one is UI....it's a bit unfriendly by the way the cool thing is that you have that if :

if condition1 = or anything with condition 2 then execute .

Yap, a bit unfriendly, but once you now how...
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] MrEgg964:
Hi,

On cm 7.2, how do you set tasker to enable or disable pattern lock?

I'm on cm 7.2 since yesterday on my Desire. It's my first time on cm, actually. Before that, I used to be on HTC Desire specific roms. I'm rooted.

I've been using Tasker for quite a while, and by now I have a number of profiles that make me feel my phone is smart :)

Now, the big problem with Tasker is that it spoils you by doing all sorts of things automatically for you. And when a profile no longer works and you have to do things manually, you get really annoyed :D

And so, in that context, I have the following profile :

Profile : Home

Context : Cell Near

Variable Set %HOME to on

Wifi Set On

Secure Settings Configuration Pattern Lock disabled

Previously, before I switched to cm 7.2, this used to work perfectly, with GO Launcher and stock pattern lock. Now that I'm on cm 7.2 also with GO Launcher, Tasker can no longer act on pattern lock.

Any idea anyone?

Thanks,

Egg

SOLVED :

I solved my issue by complety removing Secure Settings and re-installing version 1.2.2 from Google Play.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
someone knows of a camera hack for razr?

i found a little strange 8mpx photos of just 1,4MB,probably reducing compression would give us better photos (i found them already good, but better is always better) and would be good also a video mbit increase i think

no one knows about?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fjcaetano:
If you increase compression, you'll lose quality. Then why taking 8 Mpixel photos?

Just lower your resolution ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AndroidGreg:
I am to interested in this now that you point it out. Reducing or eliminating compression for pics and video to make them better, I can see why compression for video is needed though, i doubt the phone can write 1080P 30 at full file size with no compression.
