This is a development thread. If you want a conversation thread, please open one in the general forum!

I've released the source a little early of completion, so I can get others on teamacid to help out. So until we get on the android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread branch and changes added, tested, pushed, and tested by a more general audience, I would NOT SUGGEST FLASHING THIS. Don't expect any wiz-bang features added or anything like that. This is a port. After the port is done, we can do all sorts of stuff.

Milestones to complete:

Scrub existing code that does not relate to Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V/VibrantPlus) from arch/arm/...

Move architecture specific code to mach-herring.c (as it should be) and make the changes diff cleanly with the aosp samsung android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread branch

Scrub and import needed drivers to new android-samsung-2.6.35-galaxys4g branch with herring conversion stuff imported.

Try to get rid of dvfs stuff and move to stock cpufreq (for easier future porting to Linus's mainline, which is the goal of this kernel, amongst other modifications that will open up...)

Get all components working (wifi/bt/gps/etc. It may not be possible to use bml/fsr/rfs/ext4, because of the symbol table changing, but lets try to see if we can get it working before making the kernel compatible with cm/aosp)

investigate BML<->MTD rom conversion kernel

I have currently completed Milestone 1. I am currently running stability tests with unnamed rc2. The binary should be the same as the minimal changes to stock source to make it boot and work with a standard bml rom, but without the other board code for dempsy, kepler, vibrant, vibrantplustelus, flemming, aries ntt, and others. All code is cleaned up and specific for VibrantPlus/SGH-T959V.

I've put together a new initramfs/recovery based on v5.0.2.8 to work on BML. This does not contain the voodoo lagfix support.

You WILL have to use an updater-script that forces conversion to ext4.

GitHub:

Kernel - https://github.com/bhundven/android_kernel_samsung_galaxys4g

Initramfs - https://github.com/bhundven/android_initramfs_samsung_galaxys4g

Stay tuned... I will update with progress.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
OP updated. Using new initramfs (gingerbread branch), some kernel and build.sh fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Just a note, I've made a little progress on m2.

Looking at possibly having something releasable here in the next week or two.

I've been out of work now since may 1st and its been hard to motivate myself on anything phone related.

Much thanks to the members of teamacid and teamkickass for keeping this stuff going!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] smontero:
So these are BML kernels converted to MTD?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You missed the point entirely.

EDIT

Look under "Milestones to complete"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] smontero:
I see but I don't completely understand. I just found out the difference between BML and MTD but I was asking cause I'm using the miui MTD and i wanted to know if these kernels would work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
He hasn't posted download links to them yet. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Right. If you know how to compile the kernel, you could. If you did, you would currently have a BML kernel. (note there is also no mtd support in the current initramfs either)

I'm not sure if Milestone 2 will be able to support RFS. I may pull in the FSR code from supercurio's repository so that we can still have BML+ext4, but that code was for a froyo kernel.

If I can't get that to work, then this kernel will be MTD only. I'm still having some problems where my current Milestone2 changes (not checked in) is not booting correctly.

As I said, I'll have an update soon.
[Kindle Fire General] FinalJenemba:
I know im rehashing allot of stuff already said and I apologize for that. But dev information can be overwhelming when you come late to the game like im doing now, just trying to sort this out in my head before my Fire arrives tomorrow. :D Not new to android, rooted and romed plenty of Android phones including a G2 so I know my way around the basics like adb and the like. I've just never seen so much talk about bricking as im seeing around these fire forums.

From everything im reading it seems pretty straight forward, you use KFU to root (should you perm root or temp at this point or does it matter?), flash FFF, then flash TWRP, and then just flash whatever rom you want, right? Is there something im missing, do kindles just randomly brick while doing this or do you have to do something wrong? Also, it sounds like the way FFF works as long as you have that flashed and you don't dink around with bootloader it should be impossible to brick no? And assuming this is true why doesn't everyone just flash FFF and be done with it, are there any drawbacks to running it?

Guess im just trying to figure out if these things are brick machines or are there just allot of new android folks around this device that aren't following the steps properly? I suppose I better make a factory cable just in case lol :p

Thanks for reading, any help you can give a Fire newb would be appreciated!
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
No, they are actually pretty difficult to brick. A lot of the "brick" threads here are usually one of two things.

1) Users who can't get their devices to boot normally because they don't know how to change the bootmode.

2) KFU stops mid-way through some process and they are not familiar with the tools to reverse or finish the process.

By the sound of your post, you are ahead of the game and KFU will probably get in the way of where you want to go. You don't even have to root the KF if you are just going to flash a ROM. I suggest you skim this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547

Post #2 will get your drivers installed and the bottom of post #3 has step-by-step directions on how to get your device ready to flash a ROM. I think that's all you're going to need.

EDIT: I forgot to answer your FFF question. Yes, if you have an intact FFF bootloader, you should always have a solid base from which to rebuild your system. You could basically wipe everything else out... as long as you have FFF, you can recover without having to do anything drastic. The only drawback I can think of is that it takes a little while longer to boot because it pauses for about 4 seconds while it temporarily gives you access to fastboot mode. IMHO, this is actually a huge plus because it means you can always get access to fastboot mode without a factory cable, so it's definitely worth the tradeoff.
[Kindle Fire General] Krunk_Kracker:
Like said already, they aren't easy to brick.

What is a pain in the ass is getting the computer to recognize it correctly sometimes.
[Kindle Fire General] Masssy:
No, they are not very easy to brick. Most of the "bricks" are not permanent and quite easy to fix if you have some ideas of what is wrong and the methods of fixing it.

To actually brick it permanently so that there is no way to fix it without proper hardware tools is very hard and I believe that is very uncommon if you follow instructions and do everything with care.
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
Here's my very own anecdote of a false-brick panick:

It was my first day with a shining brand new kindle. I read on xda that KFU was the easiest way to get into the world of custom roms. So I downloaded it, followed the steps exactly and ended up with a kindle which won't boot. I was lost. I didn't know what went wrong, as is usually the case with such scenarios.

After a few hours of head-screatching and crash-coursing through these threads, I finally figured out the problem. KFU attempted to flash TWRP which was not properly downloaded. I think my internet connection must have dopped. But KFU thought the download was done and proceeded to flash anyway and long story short, I lost a precious few hours of my life but did gain heaps of experience in the process.

Lucky for me, FFF had been flashed earlier and I was able to recover my lovely kindle.

Moral: xda rocks! (may not be obvious from the story, but it's true) :)
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
I've managed to permanently brick my device once but that was out of sheer stupidity and messing with partitions I didn't have any business messing with.

I'm not sure if it's failure to pay attention or some people don't want to take the time to learn what they are doing before doing it, but it simply amazes me how many people can't grasp the basics of how the Kindle Fire/Android works, even with one of the most comprehensive and easy to understand beginners guide I've seen.

As long as you understand that when adb/fastboot doesn't connect it's a driver issue, and you have a good understanding of the different bootmodes, with a little research you can fix 99.99999999% of the problems you'll encounter on the Kindle Fire.

Most of the problems you'll see are from Windows users (imagine that) because of Windows' lack of a good system for dealing with device drivers. And most of the rest are from just plain ignorance, refusal to learn, and trying to take the easy way out.

If you have problem, chances are 250 other people have had the same problem and a simple search will usually get you the answer you need. And while XDA's search function has a lot to be desired, Google's search function works quite well and should definitely be put to use. You'll be amazed by what you'll find just by putting "site:xdaforums.com kindle fire" in front of your search criteria.
[Kindle Fire General] FinalJenemba:
Thanks guys, you pretty much confirmed what I was thinking.

And thanks kinfauns, I did read your guide but totally missed post 3, that's pretty much all the info I need. I would much rather use ADB when the steps are that easy. I remember when the devs first got s-off on the G2 and the ADB/Terminal emulator steps and this looks allot more straightforward lol.
[Kindle Fire General] FinalJenemba:
Just wanted to update to say that I got my Fire and got it rom'd. Nothing to it, kinfauns guide made it incredibly easy. If you can read you can root a Fire :P

Thanks again kinfauns!
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Such a simple concept, yet it alludes so many.
[Kindle Fire General] thebageldude:
ha

Not gonna lie, it is kinda funny to watch so many people freak out...but I guess I was there once too.
[Kindle Fire General] Kcuhc:
ive rooted 5 kindles now.

3 of my own, as i had to return 2 because of a ghosting issues apparently from a bad batch that got out. Note to self (and by proxy, others), buy your kindle from Amazon instead of a 3rd party store. At least Amazon has great customer server.

was very easy, never had a single issue. Even returning them back to stock.

sorry for post in here. i have not permissions for development board. :mad:

as i know, moto leaks a razr(omap 4430) ics rom, it seems the final version.

i downloaded it, and found a ducati_m3.bin, can this help to our kernel 3.x? :confused:

it has been attached.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigBentley:
Has any devs seen this yet? I'm surprised no comments yet. Is this what they have been looking for?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
The Nt seems to be a bit unique in using timer 11 for backlight instead of the default "stock" and ducati uses... timer 11. and you cannot use 11 for Both. any ducati that has gptimer 11 for ducati's watchdog will not work for the nook tablet, we NEED to build one ourselves (and ti has not released the code) or find a phone/tablet that uses ics and has a ducati not using gptimer 11(which is the default timer location)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigBentley:
Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate General] xboxhacka:
My phone will not go into download mode. The phone seems like it is dead no lights nothing. But when I plug in the phone in my computer it shows up as a Mass Storage Device. Then after about 10 secs it disconnects itself and then reconnects right back and it keeps on doing this. Anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Does the battery charge screen come up when it's plugged into the wall? Since your computer is seeing the device it is not bricked.

My Theory:

Your USB port on the phone is probably starting to go bad. You may not be getting a full charge which is why nothing shows up. When you plug it into the computer it gets a small charge and shows up. Then the port get wiggled and it loses connection.

If this is the case, you might want to get the usb port repaired before you attempt to flash anything.

If you're feeling daring, try using a jig to put your device into download mode. Wait until Odin sees your device and then flash back to stock without moving the phone.

WARNING: Disconnecting during the flash could cause additional problems. Make sure to choose a stock 1 click ODIN WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS.
[Captivate General] xboxhacka:
I dont think anything is wrong with the USB port as this started to happen after I ran the "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe" It also said that everything was successful and rebooted the phone, but instead of a reboot it went to a black screen.

No nothing comes up at all. :-(
[Captivate General] Red_81:
You sir are displaying signs of it being a hard brick. This usually happens when something goes wrong while flashing bootloaders. You should try all the various methods to get to download mode (a jig will be your best best). If you can get heimdall or odin to recognize your phone you will be able to save it.

If you can't get into download mode via jig, then it is a sad day. You will need to contact someone to Unbrick the phone. Josh over at mobile tech videos could repair the device. He's an XDA member and does great work.
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
But if your computer can see it as mass storage then its not hard brick. Hard brick won't even turn on and computer won't recognize the life of my phone back then. I plug it in a wall or pc and nothing would show.

Try making a jig just in case or buy one and see if you can get download mode.

Edit: Your USB port gone bad. Type mobiletechvideos.com on your browser. They have a repair for that.

I bought THESE for my wife as an Xmass gift. They're called Woodees :) . Had to borrow them cause I lost mine. Now I want a set, the sound is outstanding. Price is resonable considering the sound quality. Only downside is, I've heard they're not compatable with all devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allanitomwesh:
Woodees are great, but yeah they're picky on android, and abit wide so not for small ears

Hello Guys,

Don't know if already shared.. Instagram is working on Galaxy 3 running Froyo!

Here are screenshots -

Known Bugs -

1. Takes some time to apply filters.

2. Few options like Contrast etc. don't work.

Instagram - 1.1.7 -

Thank Him Here!

Instagram 1.1.6 -

Download

HOW TO -

1. Download the Latest APK (1.1.6) [ 14-7-2012 ]

2. Copy to SD Card

3. Do a normal install

4. You are DONE! No tweaks required.

1. Oh! Wait, I am on CyanogenMod 7/9 and this does not work. Why?

Ans - CyanogenMod 7/9 ROMs and/or ROMs based on them have OpenFIMG GPU Drivers which are incomplete. Froyo has Samsung FIMG Drivers which are complete.

I will regularly give the link to latest APK file when it is available. ENJOY YOUR INSTAGRAM!! ;)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dhirend_6d:
Arrey Aimad baba where are you nowadays?? :D:D Eid ka chaand haan?? :p:p Yeah works nicely on Froyo. Does not work on any other ROMs that use Open FIMG as those are not complete.

Well sometimes you loose things even if you don't expect it. It could be something falling out of your pocket, forgetting a bag, getting a bag stolen. Many people have recovered their devices thanks to app like this so I do find them useful... although I don't use one myself I'm sure I will regret it once I loose my phone :P

And it's not always you can choose who you live with.
