If you're on G3MOD then try one of the BLN libs, if you're on Serenity kernel probably the same thing but I wouldn't know.

My Battery Backup On Serenity.... :)

Ain't that amazing... :) :)

/----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

By the way, before the last update, i once got a GPS lock after some time, though I didn't try later or on this build, but just thought to report as it is included in not working list....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Galaxy3User:
Wow, nice battery life.

But I think mine is broken or something, have to recharge it everyday. :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] propsia:
your battery is new? it is samsung one or manufactured by another company?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Galaxy3User:
It's the samsung stock battery. But doesn't matter what ROM i try, it doesn't last longer than one day.

I'm using internet a few times a day and about 30 minutes of phoning friends or something :rolleyes:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] propsia:
same here i am also thinking to buy a new battery but i wonder should i buy samsung battery or from any other manufacturer

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

please give me all details of your battery eg how old it is...and its manufacturer details all thing including price if you have bought new...:o

New battery... Bought this month for rs500 from official Samsung service center...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] simbawimba:
are you a light or heavy user? do you have wifi or mobile data always on or do you keep them turned off?

3 days of battery life is amazing, I'm the same as above can only get a day but i am quite a heavy user.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
My G3 with no usage whatsoever after a life of being treated pretty kindly with only WiFi on lasts about 3 days on battery.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] propsia:
then i think i need to buy a new battery ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Is there any ETA for the next release?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bioniclizard:
I bought a new (Samsung) battery and still can only get about a day per charge, so I don't know. I always did get just about a day, even when the phone was new, though.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Want me to make one tonight?

Well it all depends upon usage. I hear about people who last like two days on the SGS2 meanwhile I struggle to get 24 hours and that's because I have imo always signed into Skype.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Fikul:
I think you should focus on the 3.0 kernel :) The development of this soft does not make sense without working camera, BT, FIMG and other stuff...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
no need. Take your time :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Y0RGI:
+1
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well creating a new build involves me just pushing the button and walking away. I have a build server, so while its working I can do some reading.

As for concentration on kernel 3.0, I'm not doing any work in Kyorarom apart from updates for my GS2 which leak into the G3.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] VinC0deur:
A build every 3 - 4 days would be nice :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
I'd say it would suffice to make a new build every time there's something new in Kyora / G3Mod / the CM9 nightlies, which happens irregularly every few days / weeks.

Otherwise we can just rename the most recent build to the current date without having hillbeast waste electricity for the building process ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I'm thinking about once a week would be fine.

That's what I was thinking too. Now that I'm home I'll push the build button.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Halco:
Hi mark.

Third camera apps work with Serenity ? If yes, which one do you use ?

Thanks for your work :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I don't know but I doubt it. I don't think it's an APK issue, I think it's a library issue.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Galaxy3User:
I guess if 3rd party apps would work, every developer of other ROM's would already

have applied it.

By the way: Don't stress yourself too much with the Serenity ROM, hillbeast. I read

that you want to do weekly updates? Ain't you developing for SGS II too? :eek:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Nope. I don't develop on my SGS2 because it's my main phone. I don't want it out of commission. When I was devving on the G3 and it was my main phone I didn't care so much because I wanted to improve it, but because the GS2 is so fast already, I don't feel the need to improve it.

I will however most likely be developing for the Galaxy SL soon. A bunch of people on the XDA have organised to send me a device so I can port kernel 3.0 on that. Being an RD is tough work sometimes...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
...and so it came that I felt relationship anxiety and jealousy against a phone.

Damn you, SL! You think you're so hot? The only reason you get all the devs is because you dress like an iPhone!

Apart from the background and updated CM repo, I can't think of anything new.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bscraze:
Contrary to your believe, my forum is short on devs actually :rolleyes:. The reason I asked mark to take over a device:p. But still, the g3 forum is the best :)

Cheers:)

Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by Stable and Smooth CyanogenMod 9!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] raja4sure:
indeed...I think G3 forum has been one of the best forums in XDA.......

Saw your SL forum......quite inactive.......

saw the galaxy ace(Successor of G3)/Fit forums.......They are now in low activity & legacy forums....

So I think mark would be really helpful in your forum as he'll be developing kernel 3.X.X now.....(Hope he gets it done in both the devices soon)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] DiGaTTo:
Did some one able to fix issue with call is in wait (awaiting call) issue? Wrote many times in different threads but no one is fixing it
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
Sorry, but I can't be bothered by facts and numbers when I'm trying to show off my wit by adapting a Futurama quote :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Sorry no, as I don't even know what's causing it.

Yup, i know, but on CM7, we can record with an third app so i just ask to be sure. :)

Thanks for the answer

can you add dictionary(atlest English)?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Oh dear that was a major oversight on my part to leave that out. See this is why I need you guys to submit bug reports because I wouldn't pick up on stuff like this.

I shall figure out what files are missing and fix it in the next version.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Thanks to the kind folks at Dev-Host and the XDA Portal, I now have a premium account on Dev-Host (which because of the nature of Dev-Host), it shouldn't be blocked by any ISP (at least any sane ISP).

And because I have more storage and better limitations there, I will now be uploading my files there from now on.

Other cool things about using Dev-Host now:

Comment system

Share via Facebook/Twitter/Google+ and various other services (if you're into that stuff)

Shows that it's me who uploaded it (branded with an XDA RD badge)

MD5 Hash for checking integrity

I have a 16GB sdcard, class 10 (I know the SG3 cant go that fast). I want to install the Serenity build - I have been using [DEV][WIP] Ice Cream Sandwich Port (AOSP/CM9) for about 3 months.

What is the preferred format, and number of partitions, for the sdcard?

What is the preferred format for the various system partitions?

Thanks you in anticipation and well done to all concerned.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well all the settings should be around about the same as on the old ICS. I recommend EXT2 on all partitions. Less overhead on the CPU, and doesn't reduce IO by any noticeable amount.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmanian:
@hillbeast

I see that for LG P500 device, they use 2.35 kernel with kgsl drivers back ported from 3.0 or 3.1 kernel. Can we do like that same. I hope it helps ICS development as with that they can able to make most of the things (camera with no preview and bluetooth) work.

It really isn't a good idea to use a kernel with backported drivers. The bad drivers will taint the good ones.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmanian:
Could you please tell me how to build https://github.com/hillbeast/android_kernel_samsung_apollo/ Kernel separately. I mean without building with CM9 source. Please tell me the procedure.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
You will need to pull the repo obviously, and you need to use the apollo_defconfig (I can't remember all of the name, it's in arch/arm/configs).

You'll also need to get the ramdisk cpios from the original kernel. I don't package these with the kernel as they are built by CM9 normally.

I have uploaded an ODIN version for those who experience issues while flashing for the first time

It includes G3MOD 2.5 as the kernel as it's the safest choice for most people.

I would write what's in this new version, but I'm tired. Check the first page.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
I installed this over the 05-21 build (skipped 05-28) and already had 2 instances of being thrown back to the boot logo, one just after the first boot (homescreen was already there but system was still very busy / laggy) and one while swyping a text inside the stock browser.

Might any recent change be the cause of this? I ran the 05-21 build for 2 weeks of moderate/heavy usage without a single reboot / bootlogo-crash happening.

Not complaining of course, just wondering. I guess there's a timeout when Android decides to reload when the system appears to be unresponsive for too long (system was a bit laggy both times, but still responsive). Or might something like memory management (compcache file empty, zRam not yet activated) be involved?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
updated to 5h Jun version.... working awesome. Lockscreen weather is awesome. Apollo music is super awesome. And one thing I was eagerly waiting for, hell yeah, screen off crt animation is here on CM9 now... COOL !!! Thanx for the update Hillbeast. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] DiGaTTo:
Sorry, I understand that things already implamanted are cool, but is it morre nassery to fix that thing which are not working, I mean problems with awating call, gps, camera preview ect. I cleary understand that them could fix new kernel written from the very beggining, but will it help?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I'm not surprised as I am experiencing issues with the latest release too and as far as I can tell it's nothing I've done. My issues are on the SGS2, but my orientation doesn't work anymore.

Will make another build and see if it fixes it. Until then, just go back to the old build.

Yes it's more important, but adding/fixing these features is too much work to be worth it on the piece of crap kernel we're currently on. Might as well just get kernel 3.x working and then try fixing these issues because as far as I can tell 99% of them are kernel related.

And the reason I am making releases and not building the kernel is because I haven't had much time in the last few weeks to do any work on the kernel (had a friend come in from out of town and generally just wanted to relax), whereas making a new build of Serenity involves me connecting to my server, going

cd ~/devel/android/cm9
repo sync -j16
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch apollo

Then downloading it from the server (the server is actually local) and uploading it to my Dev-Host account. It's really easy as I don't have to add the features myself. CM9 does it for me.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
Is the .tar file the latest build?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
No I believe it's the second to latest.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Smonic:
And what do you mean by live audio streaming not working? Do calls still work?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bioniclizard:
I think that's referring to apps like Spotify and maybe stuff like TuneIn Radio. Calls still work.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Darius_AWS:
spotify doesn't work on all ics rom but tune in always work on all ICS roms :P

And here comes a problem... the com.android.phone crashes as soon as i try to call someone... though I am still able to talk, but it displays my homescreen rather than the call screen and I can't end the call. Kinda irritating. Any quick fixes ???
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Oh whoops. Sorry.

Exactly the same way as in G3MOD, except use /sdcard/Android/data/kernel, not .../g3mod/.

I will look into it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] strofo:
I replace Phone.apk and Phone.odex in /system/apps with this one , change permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot and com.android.phone doesn't crash but answer button for incoming call is in the bottom of the screen.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well I bought a SIM card for my G3 today, and I managed to call from it and to it and it was working fine. Try wipe dalvik-cache, format /system and reinstall the zip again.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
Tried that...didn't help...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
Oh great... I somehow managed to delete the phone.odex lol and now i am not even able to call...

Tried factory reset, still no luck. tried replacing the phone.apk by the one provided by wheell33 but still nothing.. :mad::mad::mad: PISSED
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] raja4sure:
download the attached one.....

move it to /system/app.....delete phone.odex if you still have it.

make sure you make it rw-r--r--

reboot(Must).....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
^^^ worked .... last time I forgot to change permissions.. :p

Though incoming call screen is a bit buggy and located down the screen...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
You have to change smth in phone.apk to get back location of bottoms... But i don't remember what exactly. I did it 2 month ago:p Smth related to dpi

I have compiled it in MDPI as LDPI is being deprecated, however the phone buttons work fine for me on MDPI.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
We didn't know from where (HDPI/LDPI/MDPI) nishant_713 took phone.apk
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well if you use my foolproof ODIN method, and do a full data wipe after installing, then I can't see why people are having varied experiences with applications. It's confusing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
I don't know too. But i have such problems with com.phone when i delete stock browser through cwm and then do full wipe. This was on cm7 and 2.2.

P.S. I looked throuhg changelog. You fixed camera. Does preview working? Or what you fixed?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I think the browser is used in other parts of the system, but I may be wrong on that one. It might not, and other browsers just use the libraries (more logical).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
I think you are right. Maybe phone.apk use browser libraries. And when i delete browser - com.phome crashes:D

And what about camera that i asked previous post?

Can you please compile one build with Linaro Code ?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Not worth really, at it's current stage

Did a build with just the linaro toolchain earlier today, no other changes, and it broke kernel build, working on this since morning.

Just compiling with the toolchain and no other changes brings minor improvements, and the other patches need lots of work.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Our kernel is incompatible with Linaro. I tried building it a while back and it just came up with errors, and really bizarre ones at that.

I would like to use a newer toolchain, but this damned kernel keeps coming back to bite me. The only real advantages would be smaller binaries though and perhaps a slight boost in performance.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Yeah ignore that change. It's not working right still.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] f_ck:
Looks like the Dev community is on a long rest.. not complaining though, but all of or devs like @apollo @hillbeast @arakmar and others are a bit passive and since @apollo has abandoned the development of ICS4G3, nothing has been fixed in it. Well looks like the aging community of the aging phone has stagnated and the development process has stopped. R.I.P galaxy 3 :( :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I haven't gone anywhere. :confused:

It would seem CM team have changed the naming system for builds (the filename for the update.zips my build system produces is now different). This makes things a little easier for me.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Indeed, we dropped update- and -signed in favour of cm-

Btw, let me know if you want to do automated builds, i got a build server now :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
My build server works nicely. I have full control over it. Sure the hardware is outdated but it still compiles in a decent enough time. I just tell it to brunch and go play a game and come back and it's done.

EDIT: Do you know where it defines the names of the output zip files? I want to change it to output serenity-xxx.zip
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Here:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/blob/ics/tools/squisher#L81
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Thanks for the info.

Also I looked into the dictionary issue, and I have no idea why it's not putting the dictionaries into the LatinIME.apk automatically. Must be something not defined somewhere, or told to not do it on a small phone. Either way, until I fix it, I'll provide a LatinIME.apk that people can install by deleting the current LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex and then copying over this LatinIME.apk.

The keyboard I will provide is just nicked from Serenity for my GS2, so it is exactly the same in terms of capabilities, and it works fine for me and most importantly it includes the dictionaries.

The new version is uploading right now. While I wait, I'll play some GTA-IV.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
You do call vendor/cm right?

IF so, this should be added to LatinIME.apk

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/tree/ics/overlay/dictionaries

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/blob/ics/config/common.mk#L82 - should be working
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Yeah I am still calling vendor/cm. Only thing I have changed here is a few lines at the end of common.mk which call Kyorarom.mk.

I'll look into it when I'm not tired.

Serenity 2012-06-12 Uploaded to Dev-Host

Link

LatinIME.apk

As explained above, dictionaries aren't working by default. It is an issue I will look into, but until then you can fix it by installing the above APK. It may work installing it like you would install any other application from the SD card. I just tested it and it worked like that just fine. This will be a more persistent fix than replacing the file inside /system/app.

Don't worry, I won't be using this fix for long. I will MAKE it do my bidding if I must.

Hey, could you help me real quick? What format are the partitions on this ROM? My phone is bootlooping, and I think it's because of different partition formats. I tried the failsafe .tar, but had not luck. Could someone get me a fs.convert so I can flash it on the failsafe and update afterwards? Thanks.

EDIT: If you could help, just go to terminal emulator and type "mount" and tell me the formats of the different /dev/stl* partitions, please.

Ok, never mind. It seems my sdcard was to blame, maybe due to the different partitions.
