[Galaxy S II Accessories] Thenetstriker:
I'm trying to connect an PL2303 USB serial converter to my Samsung Galaxy S2 (to use in Slick USB 2 Serial Terminal app) but the device is not regonized by my phone. (dmesg reports hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1) I've allready tried to compile my own kernel with different configurations (including the serial port driver) but non of them seams to work. Is there a way to get this device to work on the Samsung Galaxy S2? (On my Transformer Prime TF201 the device works perfectly)

Edit: I' am using CyanogenMod 9. (Misstyped it when creating the thread)

[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
For the last 3 times in a row I have attempted a CWM backup the phone always reboots when it gets to "backing up dbdata". Does anyone know what's wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
OK now I am trying another CWM backup and it reboots randomly in the process.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Zerg The Bear:
I had a similar problem a little while ago. I never was watching the phone during the backup, so I don't know what was happening when it would reboot, but the phone did reboot during the backup process.

The way I fixed it was by mounting /data and /datadata, in addition to /system after CWM started. Once I did that, the backup happened successfully and didn't reboot the phone.

I do have to do this every time I enter CWM to perform a backup or restore.

Hopefully this helps.

Bumping an old thread. I fixed this backup reboot error. I did a fix permissions in CWM and mounted /data /emmc /sdcard etc that was not mounted and it worked. I t happened to me twice and this is how i fixed it

Actually the underlying problem was a bad download. All 3 charges that I flashed this to have this problem, and when I redownloaded it it fixed the problem.

Remove back of tablet. Unplug battery. Replug battery. Gtab started right back up!

Can somebody tell me if the gophone plan for 50$ works and does it have internet?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Mom's AT&T go-phone ($25 plan) runs on call minutes. Not sure about $50 plan or T-Mobile, but I think internet is a no-go on go-phone.

Of course, you could go Google go-phone and find out... I just wanted to say no-go go-phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Since GoPhone is an AT&T service:

1) No need to unlock. However:

2) AT&T will detect that it is a smartphone based on IMEI and will block the $50 unlimited plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Najuto9tail:

I didn't start that rumor...;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's possible but difficult. The carrier used by ST varies from phone to phone - some are T-Mo, some are AT&T, some are CDMA!

Also, many have SIMs that are device-locked (kind of the opposite of a SIMlocked device).

As I understand it, there are two $200 Nokia models that you can purchase which have non-locked AT&T-compatible SIMs. These will work in unlocked (and maybe locked?) AT&T phones. HOWEVER - you must NEVER activate another SIM in the original Nokia - if you do, your old SIM will get deactivated. So the $200 Nokia needs to sit collecting dust.

A few guys in the Infuse forums did this, I never did though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Najuto9tail:
I had a conversation via email with support from straight talk and they will send me a sim card for use with at&t network using their 45$ unlimited plan. They explained to me with details how it works and I am really happy for their support.

Compared to the offer they give here where I live 50+ 25 of data= 75$ and the same with them for 45. I am saving 30$ every month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

Thanks

Got it here, StraigthTalk plan but still wondering it is truly unlimited or any restriction behind.

It is not overclocked, 1000 mhz.

[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
This is my first camera mod and I want to share it with you.

First of all, big thanks to somemadcaaant who helped me very friendly!

The mod is based on V20s (the old one on V20q), very fast and stable! It works on V20s, V20q, maybe on V20l,r,h,i and o too, you've to try for yourself.

I made following changes (in both mods):

- disable shutter sounds when recording a video

- increased sound quality to 96kB/s

- increased audio sampling rate to 44.1kHz

- .mp4 video recording instead of .3gp

Quality steps:

1080p:

Set FPS from 24 to 30

1080p Superfine from 9 to 17mbps

1080p Fine from 7 to 13mbps

1080p Normal from 5 to 8mbps

720p:

720p Superfine from 4 to 15mbps

720p Fine from 3 to 11mbps

720p Normal from 2 to 5mbps

The rest is stock V20q, so the camera is very fast and stable!

There's an additional "stock" Mod with these quality steps:

1080p:

Set FPS from 24 to 30

1080p Superfine: 9mbps

1080p Fine: 7mbps

1080p Normal: 5mbps

720p:

720p Superfine: 4mbps

720p Fine: 3mbps

720p Normal: 2mbps

ToDo:

- maybe heavy-tweaked version with upto 40mbps if the hardware allows this

- disabling camera not starting on low battery charge (can someone help me with that?)

[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
hope that your mods doesn't have sync problem between video and audio! Thanks bro!
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
It shouldn't have. If yes, it's only when watching it on your phone, on the PC it's generally fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
syncing seems to be fine but the video is recorded at 25fps not 30 :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:

[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
your mod, not stock :D
[LG Optimus 2x] elk80:
Good work :-)

I have 30 fps with your cam mod.
[LG Optimus 2x] mpoumpis:
May i install this mode over the tweak pack for your rebuild v20q?

Do i have to wipe cache & dalvik?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
No, just install it and reboot.;)

And I've 30fps, too:
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
bs player shows 25 fps for me... i will try stock mod :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Maybe that's a mistake of some apps. They show 25fps when there are 29,xxx (nearly 30). Put the videos on the pc and use MediaInfo to show video information. I get 30fps like you can see above.

MX Video Player showed 25fps and sometimes 30fps, too.;)

But for safety, I recompiled the camera again and changed download link to the new one. Please download the mod again and test again.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
Thanks bro!
[LG Optimus 2x] Nicodroid:
Hi, just tested your mod but I get my videos out of sync, either played on the phone or on my pc. So I reverted back to the previous Camera.apk (DjangoManouche 1.3beta).
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
In which quality did you record?

That shouldn't happen with 1080p fine/normal and 720p super fine/fine/normal.
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
When record with super fine and fine in 1080p, sound is before that the move happen :(

Sent 2X faster with my LG
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I think, it's inevitable with lg camera and high bitrates. Maybe lg gives us this low bitrates because they cannot fix this problem? :D

But is the move from the beginning equal or does it get bigger with the time?
[LG Optimus 2x] Nicodroid:
It was in 1080p super fine. Sound was ahead of video.
[LG Optimus 2x] carburano:
Hi flix! Congrats for your mod!

Could I include it in my rom?

Inviato con il mio P990 DjangoManouche!
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
No problem, you can include it in your rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] zic1:
Hi Flix123,

First, big thank you for your great work!

Please, can you compare your mod with maniacdave's?

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Maniacdave's mod is based on V20l, so it's slower and the picture quality isn't as good as in this mod (because of V20l base, too).

The quality steps are not the same, you can compare it by yourself.

Btw: I used maniacdave's mod for a long time. I made this mod as a successor of maniacdave's mod.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
i think you should make a mod with 30 fps and mp4 instead of 3gp..
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
Did you read the OP???

Sent 2X faster with my LG
[LG Optimus 2x] Skyfall007:
30 fps, .mp4 and without higher bitrates and sound improvements. That was what I want!
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
So... what wrong.... take the 2nd version... it's .mp4, 30fps, no sound and bitrate improvements... what do you want else? :confused:

Sent 2X faster with my LG
[LG Optimus 2x] Jimboi2008:
Thanks for the mod its amazing... call it cheesy but thats what i felt :)
[LG Optimus 2x] DupleX01:
Noob question. Would it work with P999(G2X) our is it only for the O2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I don't know. You can try it but do a backup before.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] MisterM3780:
Really nice job! Finally good videos again! Thanks a lot.

But I still have the problem, that the video numbering is continuing (I am now at MOV008.mp4), even if I have no videos on my SD-card. Can this be fixed anyhow?

One more question: Have you also tweaked the photo quality? If I remember right, this was also tweaked in other older camera mods.

Nevertheless: Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I don't know how to stop numbering, I didn't modify it.

Increasing photo quality is no need, stock photo quality values are good enough.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] MisterM3780:
OK, continuous numbering is not really a "problem" though... I can live with it! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] andresilva:
Good work flix123, thank you for this mod and your v20q tweak pack.

Absolutely must-have options!

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] RonaldF2X:
is this compatible with cm9?
[LG Optimus 2x] andresilva:
I think not, just compatible with stock rom.

Hi Flix123, please camera.apk with 16:9 photos!!! Today is standard. Please. 4:3 picture format on 16:9 plasma TV or LCD PC is ugly. Please ..... ! Also 2 year old Nokia N8 have picture 16:9. I thing no problem in pixel. 6Mpixel is good for 16:9 mod.

[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
What do you mean with laggy? I don't have problems with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Body_Link:
Hi Flix123, Thank you for your dedicated work. Question: if you upload your tweakmod for V20Q where the camera is improved, and I then put the camera that is? I think it's unnecessary. The camera in this mode is better than in your tweakpack for V20Q? or the same? Thank you for your response and please continue :-) Work With people like you, optimus 2x is not so bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
This camera is better than the camera in my tweak packs. Just flash this mod after the tweak pack.

In the next tweak pack, there'll be this mod of course.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kenks:

[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:

No the mod don't have continuous auto focus (in the video)

i hope someday have continuous auto focus.
[LG Optimus 2x] CoachC:
Hi there,

Great work ,but i was wondering if this mod will run on my version LG990-V20g ,and if not ,what would i have to do ,to get it going on ? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
It should work. Do a cwm backup, then test the mod and if it doesn't work, you can restore your backup.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] MisterM3780:
Oh no... Please not again. 16:9 formats only, if additional resolutions can be added. Don't mess up the stock resolutions! I hate that!

If someone wants 16:9, edit the photos with any photo editing software.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Yep! I think so, too.

My mod isn't a heavy mod, it's stock camera without all the bad things of the stock cam. I don't want to change the resolutions. This mod should stay stable.

For me, the mod is final.:)
[LG Optimus 2x] feav:
Flix123

Could you please add GPS tag always on?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:

[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Hi,

I would like to know whether it is better to record 720p at higher bitrates or 1080p at around the same 720p birates? For example, What benefit 720p@11mbps gives that 1080p@13mbps cannot provide?

Is it true that recording at higher resolution and/or bitrates translates into more battery drain?

Thanks.
