yeah

yes I was sending reports with logcats links here http://nikez.nu/yuno/ since the first JB pre alpha and nothing is published. I think that the comments need validation from nikez first, maybe
[Desire Android Development] digit-all:
Ay .

I can't do the logcat because the problem with the pincode screen starts by fresh installing rom.
[Desire Android Development] jdstrydom:
Does it happen too when you disable sim card pin and reclear and flash?
[Desire Android Development] Drunken-Monkey:
You can perform a logcat with your laptop/pc via USB and the adb.

have a look here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Logcat

1. get the android sdk and install platform-tools.

2. connect your device with usb

3. then start the logcat via adb logcat > logcat.txt ( > logcat.txt means the output will be forwarded to a file called logcat.txt )

4. start the app

5. have a look in the logcat.txt file.

good luck with that

I submit a patch longtime ago, but I don't know if the evervolv team tried it.

https://github.com/napodan/android_...mmit/09ce134c449141f8b38500fade43aebafb4e9765

This patch fixes a bug when you disconnect your headset and reconnect it.
[Desire Android Development] KernelDev101:
I can see you submitted it 4 months ago. They probably get so many people submitting fixes and so on they probably never get round to using or at least trying all of them. Wait to see what nikez says im sure he can give more light on the issue x

[Desire Android Development] ukanth:
Can you please submit the patch in http://review.evervolv.com/#/q/status:open,n,z ? They have a gerrit review and they don't pull requests from github.
[Desire Android Development] napodan:
I will try to use their gerrit review, but I have hardly used one (the google one). There is also a problem : I discussed this fix with google (https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/48011/) and it seems that my fix doesn't fix all problems (pb with BT devices). Their fix seems covers more problem.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/7408/ I cherry-picked the one from AOSP. We'll test it and if it works, it'll get merged. Until then, you can only wait.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Alright. I've been busting my ... (you know what) trying to find anything that could help us. Unfortunately I didn't. So, here's the problem; As we're going to use ION to allocate memory for the different parts (Camera, Sound, Video, etc.) of our beloved Desire we need to rewrite the stuff (drivers etc.) that expects PMEM to use ION instead... Everything except the proprietary libraries is possible to rewrite, and we're almost done with that. BUT the camera uses some proprietary libraries which ONLY HTC has the sources to, thus we can't do ANYTHING about it.... Unless ... We somehow magically convince them to release;

A) liboemcamera.so with ION support.

B) liboemcamera.so AND libcamera.so with ION support.

C) The source code for liboemcamera

D) The source code for liboemcamera AND libcamera

E) (This is winning the lottery right here) The source code for liboemcamera, libcamera and the cameraHAL.

If you want to search for this, we need a liboemcamera.so that supports s5k3e2fx and ION. The rest is possible to hack.

So.. How do we progress? Twitter? Forums? Calls? Cries? Chicken? "Accidentally get access to HTC's servers"?

Please only comment with SERIOUS propositions.

EDIT:

Here's a suggestion for the twitter-message;

PLEASE DON'T TWEET ANYTHING YET!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire Android Development] RegMaster:
Nexus One and the HTC Desire not use the same camera?, I believed that in the relationship nexus, one of the clauses is that google available all sources of the drivers of such devices ... so Google should have the drivers .... but perhaps this is not entirely correct and is this one of the real reasons so the Nexus One never went beyond Gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] tuxy81:
I think that twitter and forums are good ideas, if we not get satisfaction we can go with cries and your last option :D

Just need to have the right coordinates and standard messages.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Google aren't allowed to publish the proprietary files. =(
[Desire Android Development] KernelDev101:
So i take it that HTC is the only way of getting hold of the proprietary files then ? I am sure there is another way to get them
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
I believe we should start a massive tweet campaign. Forums are no good. Than we could try a more direct approach by emailing them. But we need to have a standardised text message as you mentioned. Anyone care to try formulating one with the proper technical details? We should hurry.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I find it very hard to make a valid point in 160 chars.. But meh, here goes nothing;

So can we shorten it? We could use a hashtag if possible.

Edit: PLEASE DONT WRITE THIS YET!!!!!

Edit 2: Added a hashtag
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Or... we could attach a link to an extended list of whatever is needed next to some text where we sound like beggars.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I doub't they'll open any links.. ;(

Edit. We could however do a petition later on. After the first twitter-bomb
[Desire Android Development] RegMaster:
[MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION] Please, release the source code for #QSD8K's libcamera,liboemcamera,cameraHAL.We need it to use old bravo cam with ION & kernel 3.X
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
So, is there upper mentioned tweet good to go?
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Apologize me if I slip off but Desire Community may be considerably smaller than in the old glorious days when we force HTC to upgrade to GB as to be able to move them now by a "massive attack".

Maybe we should try to think on new and creative approaches.

I can't stop myself thinking that our resilience is one of those strength we should explode in front of them.

If HTC would consider having and old classical Desire running updated OS a sing of prestige among competence is something we can't be sure of but it can be worth a try.

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Welp, I disagree. This is a matter of zipping up 3-4 folders and upload them. Basically, there is no work required. A ROM is huge.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
well, could be a good propaganda too. Htc releasing a piece of source for 3 years old device, many blogs and sites will report this.

I vote for RegMaster's twit
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
What about this?
[Desire Android Development] nickleby:
This seems to be great for me! Waiting for your command to start the massive tweet campaing :good: :D
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Nikez not talking about making HTC release a hole ROM, just the needed folders, but instead of pressured them makes them to belief that having an old Desire as a "classical" running updated OS is a sign of quality they may want to explode in terms of marketing.

That's just a suggestion of thinking of and finding creative solutions to politely convince HTC of the advantages to support Desire community.

Whatever the strategy is decided we all will support it as one.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Well, some of us could attend to the "bombing" and others could blow smoke up HTC's ass with what a great device they have built and how much progress it has made with developing. It is a very good ideea to do both at the same time. Beats the hell out of just begging.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
wait, did they remove previous twit or did the user remove it?
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Co.Tibia we all are ready to act as one man no discussions on that.

There is a hole community in my country just waiting to whatever the decision go ahead

Enviado desde mi HTC Desire usando Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] :
Maybe you could try ask other people with other devices who have kernel 3.0. Maybe those devices are not qsd8k, but you could ask them how they got the source. ( like DHD, they have msm7x30 platform, but maybe their source was not available too. )

Hope it helps a bit. I could also go and ask people on DHD forum.

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Alrighty then! Let's start.

COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE AND TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET;

Post it wherever you want, just make sure to have the correct facts and "demands". Anywhere is as long as we can get some attention from HTC. Reddit is a good idea, but welp, I can't be arsed creating a new account :-]
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Maybe you could post this request on OP too. It may help get new comers to tweet this to HTCdev as well. Just a thought.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
Sorry for stupid question, but I don't use twitter very muh: is it normal that twits aren't in [MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION] page? But if I click #QSD8K I can see all twits
[Desire Android Development] nickleby:
Twitter doesn't work like the Facebook Wall :D Don't worry, they will read the message
[Desire Android Development] TimHermans:
Try search in Twitter with [MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION]" this way you can see sort of wall from [MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION]

[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Off topic though worth mentioning. Kudos to you Nikez. I haven't seen a more passionate developer. Your enthusiasm, dedication and technical know-how is just unmatched. #Respect!!

And to the topic I would highly doubt if HTC would help us in this regard. We certainly put forward a petition but their priorities are clearly different. We may just have to find alternatives or if possible chuck the camera thingy and use 3rd party ones if possible.
[Desire Android Development] kl1k:
Tweet sent. Let's hope this works
[Desire Android Development] Nbsss:
http://www.htc.com/www/contact/email/

Maybe we can bomb this also? I already have :D

Edit: Here's the email i sent...

Please release the sources for #QSD8K's libcamera, liboemcamera & cameraHAL. We've ported ION/Kernel 3.X We only need this from you. Show the HTC Desire community that we can trust you in the future. The publicity from XDA and other android blogs will only benefit the "HTC" name, so why not?

Also sent a tip to the 5 most popular android blogs

THere's been 106 tweets :eek: omg
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
Bombarding their email server too would be a good option, as long as we all have a subject like :

"Request for resources for kernel 3 for HTC Desire"
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
I think twitter is enough for now. Bombing them in too many ways may have the opposite effect!
[Desire Android Development] PuffMaN:
Yep, good point. I hope the twitter bomb will have the desired effect in the first place, instead of the opposite. They may go something like "omg u annoying pricks, u aint getting sh#t" anyhoo, we will see in the near future i guess. Did they reply yet? I'm not on twitter/facebook, so i cannot see myself.

Sent from my HTC Desire with Tapatalk Red because my XDA Premium app is beeing a female dog!
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
They didn't reply yet.

I don't see why they would not do us this favor. After all, they should see the passion and dedication some people have shown to this porting project, and appreciate it.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Wait until Monday. I don't think they work on weekends :)

I put up a new subdomain so you can keep track of the number of tweets using #qsd8k. This does not include re-tweets! http://beta.nikez.nu/ (Im waiting for my hoster to update it's DNS.. Shouldn't take more than an hour. Then it will be http://tweets.nikez.nu).

I exhausted the number of api calls really quickly. I need to set up a streaming api. Give me a minute.
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Nikez, while were waiting for HTC to release the sources, could you pls look into the low audio issue on P5 test build. Its freaking fast but that issue makes it unusable.

Cheers mate!! (tweet and mail sent...fingers crossed) :)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
The issue will be resolved. Don't worry. I know the reason for it and I know the fix. :)
[Desire Android Development] ToastnButter:
Crap, I really think we should've waited until monday with this. Anyway, it's too late for second thoughts now.

Just please everyone, let's try and be polite, we don't want to make an impression of a riotous teenager.
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
You are perfectly right. But if I remember well there were similar requests that have been done the same way by the Desire community a couple of years ago. For them to hear us we need a big voice and I still think we're not big enough.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
If it's not a big deal for them (i dont know what are their policy about such sources), then even 1 guy requesting it could succeed.

So i dont really think number of people asking for it matters.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Unfortunately it is a big deal for them so the number matters. I think it is ridiculous that it even is a matter... But well. Capitalism at its finest.
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
Thanks so much for that. I look forward to seeing it in a new released. I know it's cheeky, but this chap says he's fixed the headphone/bluetooth/speaker issue, so it might be worth your while to take a look :p

[MENTION=3678722]LaidbackNikez[/MENTION]: there's no way to port Tytung's camera? maybe a kernel without ion?
[Desire Android Development] Nbsss:
Got a reply to my email....

We certainly understand wanting to make sure that you can properly developer software for the Desire and will certainly document your request.

We do work to release appropriate kernel code bases as soon as possible after device launch but we cannot guarantee the exact time frame. Please keep an eye on http://htcdev.com for more information. Also, not all sources can be released as they are proprietary. If the source parts you are looking for are not available, there is a chance they are not eligible for release.

Feel free to reply should you have any further questions, john. If you feel more comfortable discussing issues by phone, you can contact Technical Support at 1-866-449-8358, 8 am to 1 am ET, 7 days a week.

PS. I also wrote on twitter
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Meh, he's rambling off topic. Could you ask him why it's not eligible for release? It's a 3 year old device for **** sake. I do however believe this fellow has no clue of what you're asking for. Ask to speak to a developer :D
[Desire Android Development] Nbsss:
Yeah it does sound like a generic reply...

Here's my reply:

"You mentioned the required code is not eligible for release. What do you mean by this? It's a 3-year-old device.... May i request to speak to a developer, as they will better understand my request. It's not that big of a deal, i'm not asking for the whole kernel source or any effort from your part, so please... There are hundreds, if not thousands, of consumers awaiting your next response for me to update them on XDA and we are eager for your co-operation, please work with us."

Hey,

Should we post in the K3 thread as well? Not all desire users use this ROM but I am sure many of the device users/developers are following the other thread. Maybe other ROM devs can ask their users to tweet as well?
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
Looks like they aren't interested in this stuff. I feel they are getting annoyed.... Seems like they wanna get rid of us. Nikez is right, we should ask for a developer....
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:

[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
Can you post a log here [MENTION=3678722]LaidbackNikez[/MENTION]

Or pm me
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Uh, I think you're missing the point with this request. We already have a custom made HAL. We know we can make our own HAL. But we need the sources to liboemcamera and libcamera as they are using PMEM and we aren't. And the only reason why I asked for the cameraHAL is because it would make it easier. And it was optional.
[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
But assuming the port is from a 3.4 kernel you are aware it isnt ION dependant only, it compiles pmem its a half ass job on there so where ever you need to use pmem instead of doing ION Do, if it supports ion use ion allocator otherwise use PMEM?

Also im assuming v4l2 api is being used? Ion multimedia? Newer vcd binarys and updated vcd in kernel?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
We're not going to use v4l2, we just changed the adsp-heaps to use ION. http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/6619/1/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-bravo.c
[Desire Android Development] siavash2death:
I'm sorry.I really like to help you all.at least,to tweet that request.but unfortunately, so much sites like tweeter is filtered in my country,so I can't help so.sorry guys. and thank you so much for your hard work.very appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
Why not use v4l2? What abt vcd? Ion multimedia? That adsp is part of ion multimedia afaik but there more to port from drivers/cam i think

Edit: any logs?
[Desire Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Use a VPN.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
That requires a serious rebuild of our camera chip in the kernel. Why do you want logs? :S
[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
3.4 kernel port? Lol

Logs just to see where it is but imo k3.4 ports better but im sure soon Android4.3 with k3.9 coming soon
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
I'm not porting 3.4
[Desire Android Development] Shaky156:
The new cycles starting soon best waiting imo unless someone gets 3.4 ported within a week or two then its worth it, mind you 3.4 can be a stepping stone
[Desire Android Development] TimHermans:
CronicCorey and Noonamer have worked on 3.4 lately.. You can check their github.. https://github.com/croniccorey/WIP-8x50/commits/CAF-3.4
