Sorry to trouble you
[Fascinate Android Development] netqer:
i updated the officail ei20 rom

my software Version is SCH-I500.EI20.

kernel version is 2.6.35.7

i wonder if this offical kernel supports the ext4 filesytem and swap?

Or how can i hack the kernel to support these features

In additon, i downloaded the kernel source code from OSRC, how can i modify the source code?

thx.

Hi..

I am using Total Recall recording app's latest version right now.. All recorded clips are shown in stock music player as well as in any other music app I install.. Although there is a file named .nomedia in the folder existed all clips are shown still in stock music player..

I ever set the folder to hidden, yet clips are shown.. Is there any way they won't show up in stock music player or anywhere and considered to be hidden..

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Create a file named '.nomedia' in that folder. It shouldn't show up after that.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
I've been ignoring it all this time cause I was on stock and I thought imei were a GSM version of esn and sprint phones didn't have them

Can someone tell me the effect of having no imei on a sprint phone and how it happens

Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Success100:
sprint and cdma phones don't use imei numbers. so no there is no imei bug
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
That's what I thought but if you go to settings>about device>status we have an imei number

But thanks for telling me it don't matter

Now I can go on a flashing spree with no concerns
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
Sprint does have IMEI numbers but they don't use them like the evo lte, you might loose it but you won't problems connecting to the network a verizon guy loss his but still connected to network lte like normal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
If you lose your IMEI you will probably not be able to connect to LTE. 3G and everything else should work, but I'm pretty sure LTE will not.

I say this because LTE is a GSM technology, which is why I think we have IMEI on our phones in the first place. I haven't heard of anyone that reported the bug yet on Sprint, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chewcracka:
Flashed on verizon CM10 and now 4g does not work. wiped and flashed again and still 4g does not work.. so confused :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elysium1215:
Did 4g not work from the start? The most important thing to make sure is that you don't mess with any settings under the Mobile Networks menu in Settings. I've found that when I even look at that I lose data, don't mess with mobile network toggles either. Also download the Phone Info app from the Play Store and set the network service to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL), that has worked for some people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chewcracka:
Yea thats what i did. I messed with the Mobile networks. I changed everything back, what do you suggest i do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chewcracka:
Seems to be a common problem, reverted back to stock fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elysium1215:
Yeah, did you mess with them the second time? I did the same thing and I just backed up my user downloaded apps with Titanium Backup and then reflashed CM10 and the GApps and stayed away from data, so far so good (although I've only been running this second flash for about 4 hours). If you want to try that I believe it should work for you too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kchitown1977:
My experience running CM roms 4G is usually one the things that don't work in early stages of the rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremytheindian:
Phone Info from the app store fixed this for me. Switched it over to LTE/CDMA/EVDO (didn't have a LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) option...?)Currently running 4G just fine on Synergy 1.1.

The first step in prolonging your battery life is to find out which apps and components are using the power.

Press the Menu key, tap Settings, scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu and tap About Phone. Tap Battery Use in this menu to see what's eating the charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheeWolf:
Better is use Gsam battery monitor, if you have apps eating your battery this app will find them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kagadar:
Lock maximum frequency to 800 or 400. Phone will be slower but you'll get better battery performance.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
it wont let me post my question on that thread, so please don't get mad at me for asking here.

in the tutorial, it says to put the phone in download mode and launch odin3, okay, i have done all those steps and not done anything different.

It's connected and odin3 isn't doing anything after i press start, is this because i need the android sdk? if so, is there something more i should have as well? I am fairly new to this, just bought the phone off amazon, works nice, hate that I cant delete the bloatware and not loving the idea of CarrierIQ on it. Its taking forever to do anything and i am sure its not the computer, octacore amd fx processor, 8gb ram, windows 7 64-bit ultimate edition.. just need to understand and it sucks we cant ask a question directly on the topic at hand for us new to the site, but i can understand that it must get old answering the same questions over and over, specially if no one bothers to read.

many thanks to those who are willing to help.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
nevermind, i got it.. the next time anyone else has this problem.. yes, you must have adb somehow to issue commands for this install.

I was not sure if odin3 1.85 had it compiled into it or not, I'm not a developer, but I do test what I can.

anyways for those who also have the issue for path variables for installation of android software development kit, make sure you have the Java se jdk installed and read the readme guide that comes in the doc folder where you installed your jdk to. it explains what you gotta do to have android sdk install properly.

afterwords, you will want to install android sdk. make sure to install it into the c:\ root so you can access it easily. once installed, go to your start menu and run the android sdk app, this will open a launcher and you want to install platform-tools, as well as Google USB drivers as a precautionary act.

I would also recommend using Samsung kies2 to install your drivers for your phone as it seems to always get that right for my installs.

one more little thing, if you can't find the manual that installed the Java SE JDK, Google "Java jdk enviroment variable how to"

you might also add the following in your "PATH" environment variable, no spaces and keep all data there as is, just paste this in and modify the installed location to your android sdk.

;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools

now just click okay and your all set to use adb everytime, as long as you add it all right. I'LLC touch up this file after work as I am on my phone or this would be easier LOL.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
Never once have I had to have andriod sdk to use anything on odin.. maybe u needed the drivers installed first and sdk put them there for u if the didn't come ripped from the phone
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
I didn't think I would have to, but it made me this time and I dunno why. Like I said I'm no developer, but it seems like a lot of crap just to get adb running and I've always had Odin come with adb. I dunno. But thank you for this, maybe worth looking into deeper..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
I used kies for the drivers and I had to use adb, but never the whole sdk.

I used to own the older captivate which lead me to purchase this one because I loved my captivate. I also have owned a Motorola Droid milestone, Motorola Droid, Samsung intercept and, Samsung galaxy s captivate. All had to use adb to be rooted and unlock/recover at one point in time or another..

Maybe Odin just comes precomiled like previously stated? Again, thank you.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Hi all,

As you might already know, MediaPad touchscreen is kinda noisy. You can't get a simple touch consistently, because sometimes it will be recognized as a swipe. And when you put your finger down for sometimes, the touchscreen will start moving by itself. That makes it harder for precise finger work.

So I was thinking to implement some kind of filtering to reduce touchscreen noise. The result is quite good in my experience. No more tap misrecognized as a swipe. Touchscreen is still when holding finger down. Now I have one less reason to dislike my wife's MediaPad. :D

I'm sharing the boot.img I've built using HWMOD C232B005 boot.img as a base. Those who interrested can flash it using fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

boot.img:

http://www.mediafire.com/?qanekyco31c0a3e

Source:

http://github.com/arkusuma/mediapad-kernel-ics

Update:

Because this filtering thing is kinda subjective, I modify the driver to export filtering parameters to user. The parameters can be accessed from inside /sys/t1320 directory:

filter_radius only do filtering for samples inside filter radius. (default: 40 pixels = 95)

touch_thres minimum movement before a touch will be considered as a swipe, increase this value if you still have unrecognized tap. (default: 4 pixels = 9)

swipe_thres minimum movement between swipe. (default: 1 pixel = 3)

min_sample minimum sample that should be collected before filtering begin. (default: 5)

sample_size maximum sample that should be kept in history. (default: 10)

filter_radius, touch_thres, and swipe_thres are specified in touchscreen unit, that is 2.365 per pixel. (e.g filter radius of 100 pixels is 236).

Modifying these parameters can be done via console, for example:

echo 2365 > /sys/t1320/filter_radius
echo 12 > /sys/t1320//touch_thres

Feel free to experiments. And please share your findings about the best values for you.

Nope, this is plain from Huawei source.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] CarpeNoctem:
really nice, it is a great improvement!! the touch is not "jumpy" anymore, thanks a lot for this patch
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
I can not flash it, when I hold power+volume down, I get this text: "Enter into fastboot mode, press power for 10 seconds to reboot", and when I try to flash it I got "waiting for device" in fastboot CLI.....what drivers I have to install? I have installed HiSuite from virtual CD ROM on mediapad
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Have you turn on Fast boot in ICS Settings? Driver for fastboot supposedly installed automatically from Windows Update. If not, try replugging the USB cable while on fastboot menu. (But I'm not sure, I don't use Windows for this)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
i have fastboot OFF in settings, Have I to enable it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Yes, please try enabling it. And reboot into fastboot menu.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
when I enabled it and tried to boot into fastboot, device booted into OS very fast, it looks like hibernation mode
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
While inside OS, press the power button until a popup appear with Shutdown and Restart options. Press the volume down button (the one near the power button) while selecting Reboot. Keep pressing the volume down button until you enter fastboot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
problem was that I was missing files "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" in same directory with fastboot.exe, now it is working, thanks for fix
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] taronas:
after flashing this, it System information, it says Kernel-version "unavailable". Does that mean I run your boot image? The touch behavior seems better but this could be just imagination ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Yes it seems so. Try pinch zooming a website, hold it for a while, and pinch zoom again. You'll see the difference ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] taronas:
Installed a multitouch tester and saw the difference immediately. It tells me touch point size is 7px now instead of 2, will see whether this is small enough to not cause issues.

thank you!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
Great that here is still someone alive from developers :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MrColdbird:
Great job! Using it myself and it really helps a lot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] after_silence:
arkusuma, may be you can make a commit with a patch to my github sources? I wish to unite all developers to work on one version of cm9 for mediapad to make it perfect.

Oh, ok, i see that you have uploaded your patches to your github.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
can you make also fix for light sensor bug? (unable to auto decrease brightness, only auto increase works)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] taronas:
Had two reboots since flashing. Could be coincidence, or not.

Is there a kmsg_last on the device? where to find it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Hi, I've create a pull request to your repo on Github for this patch.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
I haven't encounter a single reboot yet. But maybe there's a bug in the original source code, because others on CM9 threads also reported reboots on their plain-from-original-source kernel.

For /proc/last_kmsg, afaik it's not compiled into kernel.

I just upload BAT file to run with fastboot and your boot.img to easy in use

thanks!! very stable touch

How to use.just click update.bat in fastboot mode

http://www.mediafire.com/?8ts5azabb0e6r4b
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] athanaso77:
How do i enter in fastboot mode?

EDIT: Ok, i think i found it:

Reboot your Device: Push the power button together with the volume button (next to the power button) and hold both buttons until the MediaPad vibrates.

Release the power button and hold the volume down button.

After running update.bat device restarts automatically?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tinpak5536:
yep. I create restart command too.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] athanaso77:
Is it safe to use it in my stock rom C178B003?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:
ok flashed it

now if you try the app "touchmove" you will see that the touch sensitive is set to 3px, before it was 2px

it is a little better but the best setting will be 5px, can you do it?

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
Why did you think that 5px sensitivity is better? AFAIK, 5px sensitivity

means that no touch event will be registered if its difference from previous

touch is below 5px. So you can't move your touch per pixel, resulting jaggy

scroll, swipe, and pinch.

BTW, my filter can accept 1px movement, so it will be smoother.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
I don't know. You should try it yourself. But I think it's okay, since you can revert

to your original boot.img easily in case something happens.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:
because on an HD screen 5px is the best setting (galaxy note has 5px)

That's why with less than 5 px, the touch feel a movement instead of a tap

in the normal screen resolution you setting is the best, but I use hd

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
but galaxy note is 5"
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] arkusuma:
I take a different approach for handling tap detection. Instead of limiting that a touch must be > 5px before it's registered as new event, I register the first touch, and acummulate the next touches to a certain count (this will take some time), before registering a new event (as average of previously recorded touches). This way tap can be properly detected, and I can still move my touch pixel-by-pixel, which I think quite adventageous for

MediaPad 7" screen.

Btw, do you still found unrecognized tap using this mod? Please activate Settings -> Developer options -> Pointer location to visualize it. A tap should be represented as perfect single pixel dot when you're tapping your screen.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
Can you increase the filtering effect? Right now it's much better than the stock, but sometimes touch still registered as swipe (especially when touching using the whole thumb).

It would be better if you can edit the setting on the Pad itself so people can set whatever amount they felt comfortable with.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
Thank You Thank You Thank You!

This screen issue has been my biggest complaint with the device and your fix makes it 100% better.

Did I say THANK YOU?!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
Just flashed this also, seems to really cut down on the double tap to open apps.

Also the shaking when zooming in opera seems to be gone
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] athanaso77:
Ok, i tried that too but in Settings / About / Kernel version = Unavailable!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] monkeydrufy:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
Right now I'm setting my touch threshold at 30 (from the default 10). So far so good, but I probably need a couple of days to really feel whether this is to much or not. Probably going to bring it down to around 20-25. Right now the behavior is pretty similar to my HTC phone, which if you move your finger slowly it will snap after you move your finger a bit further. Basically at 30, you can touch the screen and wiggle your hand (while the tip of your finger still firmly planted), it would detect that the finger haven't moved. This is the kind of behaviour that I'm looking for.

There's a tiny problem though... It didn't survive a restart.

Thanks for this awesome mod :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] .dredd.:
Thank you for this touch mod... I just flashed it and the touch sensitivity feels really better as well as preciseness (or whatever it called...:cool:)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
Have you put your latest mod to github? Because I think Bart compile his kernel using the older ones where the value can't be modified. I miss my touch threshold setting.

how to boot up in fastbbit

Hi I try to bootup in fastboot by press power and volume -

there is a error -

update failed

press the power key for 10 seconds to reboot

can someone help
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
The volume - is the button nearest to the power button. You probably pushing the button furthest to the power button (which is the volume + button). If you have a hard time doing it, just download quick boot application and choose to bootup into bootloader.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wtleong:
I have try install quick boot and save the img file to the sd card choose to bootup into bootloader some how is working

I think I may miss out some step
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
Actually you don't need the quickboot.

Follow this from a few posts back

Reboot your Device: Push the power button together with the volume down button (nearest to the power button) and hold both buttons until the MediaPad vibrates.

==>> Release the power button and hold the volume down button.

You have to release the power button when you see the text "Fast Boot mode....etc"

Then you can run the fastboot command via command prompt, that's when it will detect the device.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
You need a pc to do it. Just search for fastboot on this forum or Google.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wtleong:
I think I figure out what went wrong eariler

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hamdimo:
after many times trying to boot into fastboot mode, I got to see the green android with animated gears. but I didn't get anything telling me the flashing went with succes. how do I know if I flashed it right? because I still have the jumpy screen!

another question, how to do a fastboot via my pc?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
The pad needs to boot into fastboot mode. I think it was volume - (basically one volume button is going into recovery/the green android and holding the other one going into fastboot mode/bootloader). You'll know you're in fastboot mode because the pad said so.

To flash the boot.img, you'll need fastboot software in your pc/computer. Just search for fastboot.zip in xda or Google and extract the content and put the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot software and run the command in the first post from the command prompt. If you don't understand command prompt, then make a text file in notepad containing the command and save it as anything.bat (choose the file type to all files or something like that) and save it/put the anything.bat file in the same folder as the fastboot software and run it. For preventing the windows closing so that you know whether the flashing is successful or not, Iirc, you can add @echo off in the second line of the bat file, so it would look like this

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

@echo off

I might be wrong though. If you dig the Olympic kernel thread, I think you'll find a better example of the bat file (and I think there's a link for the bat file there).
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hamdimo:
thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, i'll give it a try and post back.

one more thing i had to say, i actually got to see the green android just after choosing "reboot in recovery mode" using rom toolbox :(
