[Samsung Infuse 4G] J101:
Just trying to put some of the different information together. I'd seen bits and pieces but wasn't aware of it all...

A previous thread in this forum showed that the Infuse uses the CG2900 by ST Ericsson.

In jt1134's ICS Rom thread, pdtp stated that the Sony Xperia Sola uses the NOVATHORTM U8500 which contains the CG2900. This phone is expected to be released with 2.3 Gingerbread but updated to 4.0 ICS.

Other device(s) have used the CG2900, with the attempt at integration discussed by LinuxBozo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Alright, I've taken my first steps into a larger world. I've installed Linux to my laptop and I'm gonna see if I can start the long and seemingly complicated road to kernel development.

My ultimate goal is to attempt to create a kernel with HDMI out support, working Bluetooth, full HD video playback, and a few more needs for the Infuse that need fulfilling, including better battery life and greater wifi range quality.

I know it wont be easy at all considering the two ICS kernels we have are made by tried and true pros, but even they started somewhere, and made some mistakes. No greater teacher for software development than trial and error. Wish me luck folks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] J101:
Best of luck to you. If you go out and search Google for CG2900 Snowball you'll see that even the original developers of the chip were seeking help determining how they should implement their driver. There's open issues with it under Linux as well. I'm amazed it made it into a phone in this kindof shape.

Perhaps that's why the hope is on the Sony phone - they've been fairly transparent as of late with source code drops on their Android phones. Maybe they'll take the time and clean up the driver for the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Thanks, hopefully there is a way to integrate it. I've got a ton of reading to do, let me ask this, is a device's kernel limited to programming native to that device only? I.e., porting that bluetooth tree over to the Infuse? Or that of the Galaxy S II?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aly_hosny:

it's out
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Interesting!! I'll figure something out. Pm'd Entropy on some starter advice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mushroom.:
Bravo to you sir, you are far braver than I. I would imagine there would be many a donation coming your way if you were able to figure something out. Best of luck.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Thanks Mushroom. I want to just say that I'm not doing this because I'm unhappy with our current ICS Kernels, but because I want to give our devices more variety with development.

We're at the mercy of the kernel no matter how impressive the Rom, just imagine having full capabilities and having our community push out ICS original Roms and other devices seeking to port from us!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Yay! Does anyone know if it will be in a carrier?

Wish you luck. Probably best if you start of his, then build around it modding the kernel, as i think building it yourself is very hard.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Its very intimidating. May start with a Gingerbread base and see what I can migrate over to ICS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SayDfuse:
so what changes do you have to make to the kernel to allow bluetooth to work?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
From what I gather it's a total kernel overhaul.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
Exactly!! Frustrated as a constipated monkey!! Already had alota respect for kernel devs, have even more now!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
I have to give them massive props as well. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't even have ICS on our phones. Someday they'll work it out.

I wasn't trying to seem impatient when I posted this. Just wondering. They once said we'd never have mhl-hdmi, that was fixed and is now available for gb. (not sure about ICS)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdsatyr:
from what I've read tamelion is very correct it is gonna be a total kernel overhaul and I believe that it also has to do with the BT drivers not being available to this point.... and like every one else waiting with baited breath.... and just reverted back the the ginger flavor cause of the need for BT in my area while driving and I need it a lot... LOL... and as everyone else has said mad props to the folks who make the kernels.......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No - it's almost entirely the userspace Bluetooth stack. We only needed a small kernel patch for CM7's bluetooth support.

It just doesn't work in CM9. I don't know why - hciattach seems to run successfully, but when you try to enable Bluetooth, it tries to start ANOTHER hciattach instance which, of course, bombs because it can't open the file. I poke at it once every few weeks but at this point - I've nearly given up.

Depends on what you mean by "usable" - many are already using CM9 as their daily driver.

Nandroiding back and forth between CM and Gingerbread isn't too easy right now, I'm hoping to make that a little easier (by upgrading GB TW kernels to CWM 5.x) but I just haven't had the time.

No, the NOVATHOR U8500 doesn't contain a CG2900 - it's just STE's recommended chipset to pair with that CPU. No guarantee that the system actually contains a CG2900.

Just like the following devices use BCM4330 for Wifi/Bluetooth even though all of TI's recommended block diagrams for OMAP4 show a TI WLAN/BT chip:

Galaxy Nexus

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Samsung GT-I9100G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
I swear even more than new roms, i find technical discussion so interesting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
I agree. especially the information about kernel dev.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pdtp:
Here is a dmesg of the Xperia sola and it looks as though the CG2900 driver was started, although i have no clue what i'm really looking at.

http://pastebin.com/DKtG7qYP

oh and here is a pdf for ST-Ericsson Analyst & Media Briefing stating (on page 24) that the u8500 is already in production with the u8500/cg2900/cw1200

http://www.stericsson.com/investors/Analyst-Event-Presentation-MWC-12.pdf
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aly_hosny:
hopes entropy finds this usefull

need bluetooth and cant give up ICS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
This at least confirms that the Sola does use the CG2900. Now let's hope that Sony will provide useful source for the driver.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
Question:

Why couldn't someone just rebuild the driver using the GB driver as a source? Is there a more complicated scheme in place in ICS for driver signing?

I remember all the troubles we had in the dev forum for the Tilt, drivers, kernel issues and the like. I even proposed making 3 separate kernels for the 3 phones in use. I did end up rewriting code for WiFi/BT on the Tilt, but that was taking from one base system to another (2.2 to 2.3).

I hate to be nosy or sound noobish, but things like this bug the fire outta me...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] NunHugger:
I understand the frustration with bluetooth not working...however, the man who has the wealth of the knowledge needed to get it working said he "has damn near given up" on it ever working. This issue is way above my knowledge base, and as a user who never uses bluetooth, it's not even on my radar as something to fix. If there is someone who gets it fixed...fantastic, but until then, if bluetooth is a must, you know where you can get it. There are plenty of gingerbread roms out there that provide what bluetooth users need. We are lucky to be running ICS on our roms at all.

Not trying to preach...but just my take on it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wickedninjalo:
the only reason I want Bluetooth on ics is the HID support. I use a mini Bluetooth keyboard in my car to control my music and type and such (when I had a captivate) and there isn't a gingerbread ROM that I can get to work with it because of the absence of native Bluetooth hid support. otherwise I would gladly switch back, but since it doesn't work on either I will take the Bluetooth loss on ics and the absence of native support on gingerbread and just use ics and hope for the best.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
The thing about bt is it is a necessity for a lot of people due to driving laws, and because of that they cant try out any shiny new ics roms. Its different than a wonky camera or hdmi-out, and it sucks. Thats why it gets brought up so much.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aly_hosny:
he said "near"

thats mean there is a tiny little hope that it will be fixed

Sola is confirmed to have the chipset and I think SE is going to release its source soon
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
cm7 doesnt do what you want?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wickedninjalo:
does CM7 have working Bluetooth with hid support?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jammol:
Honestly, bluetooth is the only reason I don't stay on CM9/AOKP. Just because when I mow my lawn, I like not having to worry about wires sticking to me because of my profuse sweating!!! Not a big deal though because I can't even sit on the same Rom for 2 days!!! Lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
I can't say I use bt all that much except for long drives.

The reason I want to get involved is that, as with anything I get my hands on to fix, I want it to be perfect. I'm completely OCD when it comes to building and fixing things, so much so that I can see it being a hindrance to my job in that I take too long to finish working on things.

That being said, I would like to help in any way I can: testing drivers, writing code, whatever I can do, as long as I can find the time for it I can help.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
For myself, I'd love to try one of these roms. But BT is a MUST. I'm a truck driver and if we get caught talking/using a cell phone it's a $2750.00 fine. We have to be handsfree. Meaning no picking the phone up to dial either.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Why don't you guys who use Bluetooth headsets just get headphones with an inline microphone ?that way you can have ics and be hand s free, works for me :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pdtp:
or for that matter just rubber band your phone to your head!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
If I used my phone enough to justify that, I may have tried it.

Since I refuse to look like a fool, and I don't use this phone as much for phone calls as I do for social networking, I'll forego looking like the dude in the pic and just use my work phone which, BTW, has a working bt connection, not to mention an unlimited night and weekend plan...

ICS and BT together = not high on my priority list right now.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] veener79:
This is where I am stuck too with the local laws. :(

I am glad to see this thread on the talk about BT. I know it is not fixed yet. It is nice to see that it is being talked about. I hope there will be a fix down the road. I am having to stay on GB because of BT.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wickedninjalo:
same here :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
DooMLoRD is using the Sola stock zImage. He didn't make any changes that require source. Once source is dropped for the Sola, though, we may have something to work with.

EDIT: If the Sola was released with Gingerbread, and doesn't have ICS yet, then we have even longer to wait to see if there is anything of use in Sola source code. ICS source code for this device is what will be interesting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aly_hosny:
any idea when ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
No, sorry, Sony Erricson hasn't said when they will release source code for the device. Also, when source is dropped, there is still no guarantee that we will be able to use what is there to get Bluetooth working completely in AOSP ICS roms.

Here is where source code will be made available. Once it's there, we will know more of what we have to work with.:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/android?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pdtp:
you have to remember, ICS is NOT released for this device yet, so the source that will be released first is going to be for gingerbread.

From what i have been reading the release of ICS for the sola has been pushed back to end of this year.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Oh, in the case that Sola was released with Gingerbread (and it was, I just checked), then the upcoming source drop will definitely more than likely not have anything of use to us for Bluetooth in ICS. The ICS source code is what will be interesting for us, but if ICS isn't even on the device yet, we have quite a bit longer to wait to see.

Best option for folks that want Bluetooth for audio is to either stick to stock Gingerbread based roms or get a wired headset. From the looks of things, I wouldn't get in too big of a hurry expecting Bluetooth to work in AOSP ICS roms on the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
And not ask when bluetooth will be fixed for ICS 20 times a day. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
That's why I stopped asking a long time ago. I knew it wouldn't have sped things along at all and wouldn't have been even a little helpful. If it's meant to happen, it will.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Well the ginger source could help in cm7, because if you have heard all sony products of 2011 had cm7 avail as they wanted it :).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ombadboy:
Is there is a way to store the progress of a game (full unlocked) and restore it after flashing/etc?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmago:
Well... You could use an app that tells the game's name and its id (i.e. 1ccc6b7a-4985-4eb9- etc etc), like app Siege.

Since this id is also the directory's name, you could use a file explorer (i.e. wPhoExplorer) to loo into it (you will find it in \Applications\Data\1ccc6b7a- etc etc).

I think that the progress should be stored their.

Then you can use a backup application like WPV App Data Backup and you should get back your progress.

I have to be honest: each time I changed a new custom ROM, I never got back my Bug village progress....... :mad: Don't know wether this backup works only for sideload app or not... :confused:

SOURCE : Kickedface :cool:

Fans of custom ROMs may already know that there’s a rewritten version of the standard Android music app coming to CyanogenMod 9. Well, the wait’s over, and you can download an alpha version of “Apollo” now.

Click here for the APK file – you don’t even have to be rooted, just install it via the standard non-Market method. Unfortunately, you still need an ICS device to use it. Source : Android Central

Apollo takes quite a lot of inspiration from Google Music, though there’s currently no way to actually access your music stored in the cloud. The interface has a lot in common with Google’s own player, though the color scheme is an off white.

Theme support is planned for the project. At present there’s not a whole lot that Apollo can do that even older versions of the default music player can’t, with the notable exception of a built-in equalizer.

One of the more glaring omissions is the lack of a landscape mode, a big disappointment to anyone who listens to music while their phone is in a car dock. Even so, it should be a solid alternative when it’s finished – lockscreen controls are already enabled, I will suggest you to give it a try if you’re looking for something a little different in your music player.
[Android General] TheSniperFan:
I hope that still the issues get sorted out soon.

There are already many things that need to change and the more I use it, the longer the list becomes.
[Android General] ZachPatterson:
Nice alternative to the stock music player, it's "recently added" tracks view is a nice feature when you're adding tons of music a day ^_^

I can't get it to work via AVRCP and the bluetooth in my car, but that may be a ROM limitation because no other app will work either >_>
[Android General] seahorsepip:
Why don't they support Android 2.3 like Google play music :/
[Android General] TheSniperFan:
Can you read?

It's currently being worked on.
[Android General] seahorsepip:
My bad just saw it on the site after I posted this comment already.

Really excited about the app finally some real super app for music: D
[Android General] :
I used it for a couple months before it was rebranded Apollo, the dev never updated it, and it was buggy as hell. Now they took away the holo blue theme? Probably so they can release it as a paid add-on. FAIL. There are half a dozen better music apps than this.

[Nokia Lumia 900] Wintrmte:
All,

I recently got a Lumia 900 (yesterday) and for whatever reason I am having a hell of a time getting it to connect to my WiFi network at home, and other places as well.

The problem is that when I go to connect to my WPA2 WiFi network, I get the error saying that the network did not respond, please try again.

I have rebooted my wireless AP, router, etc. Other devices such as iPad, iPhones connect fine.

Another thing I noticed is that I cannot connect to some Open WiFi networks either, the error comes back saying that the Network could not be reached.

I took it down to the AT&T store and it connected up to their secure network so they said isn't the phone, it must be my router..

Anyone have any ideas on this? The phone will connect (as seen at the AT&T store) to some WiFi networks, just not the ones I need... :\

I set my main wireless router (CenturyLink Q1000) to match the settings of just 802.11g and still, the Lumia would not connect.

I even tried re-flashing the phone with the AT&T Black [not ALIVE] firmware, still would not connect to the CenturyLink Q1000.

I cannot explain why the phone works with some access points, and not others. Not sure where else to go from here. The fact that I got it working with a completely different access point running an opensource firmware and not a commercial (centurylink) unit is baffling, albeit most frustrating.

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. (So would she... she's still rocking an OG droid!)

Thanks much in advance for any help!
