Hey devs, lawyers and people who know about GPL

I have a question about using GPL'ed source code in a closed source application.

Another question has been easily answered in the news comments, but as libav/ffmpeg is LGPL and has a nice legal.html it was solved quickly.

Here is what it's all about:

- I'm going to use Linux kernel drivers code (several (ten-)thousand lines of code across 10+ files) for several USB devices using JNI and the Android USB host interface

- I'm writing a wrapper / "glue" library so almost no changes have to be made to the GPL code (to keep compatibility with newer versions of the GPL code)

Now my question is: Can I link all the *.o in one shared library or do I have to separate GPL code and wrapper (may be closed source) code into different shared libraries (wrapper may still link to GPL code). :confused:

If this is illegal, does my wrapper code have to be GPL'ed as well, because it links against GPL code?

And how much / what of my application has to be GPL'ed since it uses GPL'ed code in any way?

As you can see I'm a bit confused about all the GPL stuff and don't want to get sued or blamed for violating the GPL. :o

PS: I'm still not sure if I may open source the app or not, but in case I don't want or can't to, I want to be legal at least.
[General Questions and Answers] chrulri:
I've done some more research and found out that it is not possible to link closed source directly to GPL'ed code, BUT it is possible to link against LGPL which itself is compatible with the GPL.

So in other words: The wrapper library itself will be open-sourced under the LGPL but the Android application, where most of the work will be done (UI, services, device handling, interfaces, etc.), may be still closed source.

Does this work?
[General Questions and Answers] chrulri:
No, it doesn't. Read me. Unless one will pipe all the data flow through command line interface where the GPL'ed binary is running in a separated process (e.g. child process). Well even this is still a "slippery" path, concerning legal issues.

I guess I'll just GPL my app and hope for donations once it's published. :o

[Trophy General] Keefo:
Hi all,

Im currently trying to downgrade my SPL so I can load on a custom rom/XAP's

but im having major trouble trying to do it!!

First off, here in some info.

Its a Vodaphone UK HTC Tropy.

Currently running Mango

Bootloader is

PC40100	SS-BC (4K)

SPL-5.12.2250.1(134400) MNG

MicroP(LED) 0x09

TOUCH A1(v10,20)

SD SANDISK 7580MB

Partition Info-V211V413

F400

Now... as of a few mins ago, my bootloader has stoped recognising that I have a USB plugged into it...

Anyone care to help me solve this?

Have I crapped up my bootloader?

Have I now got to go the Goldcard route and get my self a Y cable etc??

Or can I do it another way, as im changing the internal SD card anyway...

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Yeah, you half bricked the bootloader. It's fixable though. You have two options:

1) Wait for a new driver update via Zune Update and install it. Downside is simple... you wait.

2) Best method, fast, not to expensive, is to build a GoldCard. Not only will this let you do some fun things, like unbrand the phone, but its a much easier method for downgrading the bootloader. This guide is a newb guide that doesn't require soldering wires (all plug and play), or using a Win 6.5 or Android phone. This GoldCard setup will let you use the debug flashing function of the phone to restore the SPL to flashable status and/or downgrade it to install HSPL.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellydeath90:
Hi, I just recently bought a Sandisk 32GB card and have it reformated before transferring it with music and videos. All is well, I can play all of my music but randomly, the music player will stop playing and I can't access the contents of the SD card anymore unless I reboot the phone. Tested it with H2testw and its genuine. Is there any way to fix this?. TIA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpressler:
Sooo, I am NOT the only one who has this problem.

Yes, this happens for me, too, with a class 10 Samsung 16 GB SD Card.

Just yesterday the card also lost files when this happened. Checking the SDCard revealed no problems whatsoever.

So now I wonder: Is the card reader not okay, is it a compatibility issue between certain cards and the S III or is it a firmware bug.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Format the card via windows as FAT32 may fix problems .

I'm using the latest versions of cm9 skankwich and devil kernel. I have auto rotate checked under dock/general, display, and accessibility. The screen won't rotate on homescreen, or any app, including YouTube. No problems a a few days ago on cm7.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I don't think Devil Kernel is compatible with Skankwich. Try out Icyglitch or the stock kernel.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
Auto rotation is broke on the latest Skankwich build and makelegs (the dev that works on it) is aware of it. You can try TeamHackSung's build 13 or if you're not mind set on running CM9 you can use the latest AOKP version.

Hi all,

First of, if this is in the wrong thread, then I apologise.

For those of us looking for a nice bluetooth keyboard for their touchpads - and other bluetooth stuffs of course then, if you]re in the UK you should check out these on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOROLA-...ssories_RL&hash=item1c281baf6f#ht_2270wt_1144

The seller, amobiles has a number of these and the pack includes the motorola bluetooth keyboard as well as the mouse and the Atrix multimedia dock, which I don]t have any use for. Put is, my auction ended for 19.00 and I got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse brand new in mint condition

Just my little tip :)
[TouchPad Accessories] BVader:
Hy!

Thanks for the info. I've won the auction and got the item for 19.99 pounds with included shipping to Slovenia (15 for the item + 4.99 for shipping):) I hope it will work fine :p

[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
I bought one of these Motorola kits, have to say it's great quality and works like a charm.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sonyalpha350:
Hi, I just got the 8.9 3g Tab (P7300).

when I insert the Sim card to the device, it still shows "Please insert sim card"

and when I go to Setting, Network service. It tells me "Insert sim card to access network service".

I tested my Sim card to my Phone, it is ok. and i don't think there is anything wrong in the position of sim card when I placed to my 8.9 tab (metal surface face down)

I also did some research on the possibility of lost/corrupt data in EFS folder.

However, I saw my IMEI and Serial no is showing correctly (Not "unknown" or the default one). and I tried to odin the stocks 3.2 rom, wipe eveything. And i also tried to recover the nv_data files and do the chmod radio radio to that files under EFS. it still doesn't work.

does anyone here have some advise for me?

Thanks so much.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
sounds silly but did you insert it far enough?

you really have to push down hard until you hear a little "click" the card then should stay in position.

did you install a p5 (3g) rom and not a p5wifi only?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sonyalpha350:
Yes. the rom i flash is P5 3g room and for P7300 not P7310...:(

and I do hear the sound and the Sim card totally locked inside.

and I need to Push it to eject it out.

So i have no idea why it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
is your phone 4g? if you insert a 4g sim into a 3g device it wont work. this probably isnt the case, but who knows....maybe they messed up your data plan and gave you a 4g sim for your 3g device.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
did you get your tab from a carrier? did you buy it used and the guy before you had it from a carrier? if so maybe its sim locked?!

just guessing here though :S
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sonyalpha350:
How can I know whether my device has sim lock or not?

And how can I get it unlocked if so?

As my device is given by my fd so I don't know whether it is locked or not.

But I am sure it is 3g device instead of lte and my similar card is also 3g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ronaldruy:
Hello I'm fairly new to Android and I'm just getting to know about flashing and hacking. But what does aokp stand for and what is it, along with cm9. I wouldn't be asking questions but I don't know where to look here. Can someone give me a thread where I can find out about all these terms and what not.. Thank you, greatly appreciated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project, CM9 is CyanogenMod 9. Basically they are both similar roms that are built from open source vanilla android, and can be built for basically any android phone so long as a developer is willing to put in the time. They both share some code with each other, yet AOKP tends to have a few more tweaks, and both are crazy fast. They also have a theme engine that allows people to make themes that can be applied on any phone running AOKP or CM9, regardless of which phone.

As for learning other stuff, I point you here for terminology: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22223555

And for how to root/rom go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24539068

I suggest just taking some time on stock to learn the ins and outs of how the stock software works, and reading as much as possible on here, before you try to do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Both are based off of AOSP which is the Android Open Source Project. Google released the source code for Android ICS and developers take that code and make their own roms. CyanogenMOD is basically pure Android ICS but with some extras. AOKP is based on AOSP but with themes, tweaks, etc. They both are different and both very good.

We currently have both roms but unofficial versions of the roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bailey1:
An official before source drops :o Nice. Unofficial still works great though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
I thought AOKP was based on CM9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cozzeck:
I believe its based on aosp, and so is cm9. So there both just modded versions of aosp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
Yes sir
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Cozzeck is right, they are both based/built from AOSP, and they both share features with each other. Neither is based off the other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
as far as i know AOKP depends on CM9 device trees so yes it is based ob CM9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scyke:
No I don't think either from depends on the other. They both borrow features from each other
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Yes, AOKP takes from CM9, but CM9 also takes from AOKP, and both are actually built straight from Google's AOSP code with features from each other added in. It's the beauty of the Android Open Source Project. Working together, the two teams make each others product better and it results in our phones getting more and more awesome. =].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
I've used AOKP on my Google IO tab it is buttery smooth plus all those controls just gives you lots of flexibility
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dman3285:
This statement is wrong.. aokp depends and is derived from the cm9 source tree. If you will read their default.XML , its pulling from cm9 source and their own to impliment their own mods...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Not trying to argue, but I'm confused now... here's a quote I pulled from an interview with Roman Birg: "And on the subject of CyanogenMod – I just want to point out that I’m not in any way trying to compete with them. While AOKP is made from pure AOSP, we wouldn’t be able to get AOKP on any phone that’s not supported by AOSP without CyanogenMod and all of the people who contribute to it."

Here's the interview: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/2...-of-the-android-open-kang-project/#more-62706

Earlier in the interview, he explains that AOKP started when he bought a galaxy nexus and started modding AOSP. I know he uses some of CM's stuff, but did he change to actually basing AOKP completely off of CM9 source? I'm just confused because I know it started as pure AOSP.

Edit: what I take from that quote is that AOKP is built from AOSP, but does use some CM trickery to make it work for a wide array of devices. Hence the sharing of features/code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dman3285:
If you've read and studied their source you would plainly see its derived from cm9 source... I know this because I've compiled and built both versions a hundred times... weather they are or are not competing is irrelevant... their default.XML and android manifest tells the tale
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Thanks for your responses, I haven't looked at the code because I wouldn't know where to start because I have no experience with developing, so all I have is my Google searches.

I guess the only question I have about the default.XML/Android manifest is are those files that CM9 has modded from AOSP, or are they vital parts of AOSP that wouldn't change much anyways? I'm just curious and I know your input is more helpful and means more to me than a Google search.

I'm just trying to learn as much as possible because I would eventually like to get into developing once I have time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Whitehawkx:
AOKP does not depend on CM. Some of the device trees and qcom repos are used from CM yes, but the frameworks and core of the ROM are modified off Google's AOSP.

EDIT: Oh, I see you said "derived" which is even more wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romanbb:
If you look in that default.xml file that you are calling us out on (https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest/blob/ics/default.xml) you can see what we are using from CM: A few libs, a few hardware repos, and the theme engine stuff. That default.xml actually tells you nothing... we could have forked all of it from CM and just linked to our own (which we have in fact done on a few repos). So just because you've "compiled and built both versions a hundred times" still doesn't change the fact you don't know what's going on ^_^

Also, I'll just leave this here.

[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Hi everybody!

I've compiled a script with a few tweaks based on knzo post

This works on CM7, should work on stock also!

I've also added to the script a few lines to change the IO Scheduler and governor. You just have to edit the attachment (unzip it first :p) and remove the "#" before the line you want to apply (I've just add the lines depending if you have CM7's stock kernel or huexxx kernel, but you can edit for any kernel, you just have to edit for the governor/io schedulers available or just leave that lines commented).

# change Governor

# Huexxx's kernel

# echo interactivex > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor;

# change IO Scheduler

# CM7's kernel

# echo "noop" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler;

# Huexxx's kernel

# echo "sio" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler;

.....​

After this, do this steps:

1 - Install SManager

2 - Open SManager and go to the script, I put it in /data/script

3 - Single click the script "74diogo" and check "Su" and "Boot" and then save.

4 - Just reboot.

Note: It could take a minute or two to change the governor in Cyanogenmod settings.

That is it!

Feel free to leave to give your feedback :)
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
By the way... When I changed the default governor via CM settings and applied at boot, the phone becomes very slow in the first minute after boot...

Changing the governor with this script, that slow performance disappears :)

Also, you can activate JIT, use 16 bit transparency and disable scrolling cache (force disable) for a little speed and smooth...
