Its the standard preloaded on the phone right?

You could try to enter the incorrect password 5+ times.

Then there would be a 'forgot password' menu on the bottom.

It will ask for your gmail and password and then the phone password will be removed.

It worked for the pattern unlock though, dont know it'll work on the password unlock.

You could try it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] holleywood25:
As many audiophiles know, using a external DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with the GS3 tremendously improves sound quality over the built-in chip found in Verizon's GS3.

Currently, the GS3 will output USB audio over a USB OTG cable to many external USB DACs. A list of some of the currently compatible DACs can be found here:

head-fi. org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/240

However, the dilemma lies here: some USB DACs are not recognized by the GS3, likely due to the GS3 refusing to recognizing devices that have a power-draw of more than 100 mA.

My question is this: would it be possible to create a kernel/ROM that would allow an excess power-draw from USB devices like the portable headphone AMP/DAC called the Fiio E17? There have been unconfirmed reports of a modder (somewhere) doing this (read comments section):

[Galaxy S III General] Phantom Zone:
Hi All,

I've recently installed the new Jelly Bean Miui update and have come across a few issues...

I backed everything up with Titanium Pro, flashed and restored but had a fair few programs crashing (mainly system ones!)

After a bit of cache clearing I had it down to Google apps which I assume I need to stop restoring when flashing as the JB ones are newer than the ICS versions I'm restoring (obvious really lol - edit - gapps files?)

Anyway...I'll do it all again but are there any further hints?

My external SD card is now also corrupt so should i have unmounted it before doing all this?

Edit - it seems version 2 will fix most of my issues....any idea on the SD card? Is there a way to ensure it doesn't corrupt other than unmounting and removing?

Hi all. I just went from the HTC MT4G to an S3 on Tmo. While I love the S3 so far, there are a few things I miss from my HTC. The main thing is the HTC Calendar and it's widget. I figured out (by searching) how to bring over my ringtones and notifications, but when I tried copying and installing the Calendar.apk on my S3, but it says it can't.

How am I able to do this? Surely there has to be a way. I've tried searching, but can't seem to find what I need...

Most of HTCs applications have stuff and resources in the framework-res and htc.framework-res (or h/e it's named).

you COULD port it by porting the resources and then install the application.

But this is actually not easy.

The easiest thing you could do is search an alternative in the Play Store.

If I'm wrong, pelase correct me.

I hope I answered your question suitable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazingwolf:
You would have to port all of Rosie to get it working. All of HTC widgets will not work without the framework they created.

I believe there is a port for older Samsung devices but not the S3 as far as I know.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcreichelt:
Hi there!

I am still working on the CM 7.2 port, and right now I am working on the 3G/2G power consumption of the custom ROM.

During power measurements of 3G and 2G in standby (original 318 firmware and CM 7.2 with 318 baseband) I noticed approx. 30 mA increase in 3G standby and 5-10 mA increase when using 2G standby.

As I am using the same baseband version, it seems that some kernel methods or maybe services seem to be responsible for the power consumption increase (or maybe power savings on the original ROM).

Does anyone have a clue what I should try to fix, which services to activate or which kernel options I should include?

Thanks a lot!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
welcome to the club. Right around a month ago is when I started seeing numerous threads appearing around the internet about the digitalizer on this phone breaking, so I'm assuming it's happening to a lot of Atrix owners at around the 16 month mark from launch day in March 2011. The particular digitalizer this phone uses costs about $100 to repair as well I've been told by 3 sources, and it's not foolproof that it will install flawlessly. I just spent $280 and got an entirely new Atrix to hold me over until my upgrade eligibility comes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
I've been playing around with my kernel lately and got caught up in researching in what actually the device reserves itself and where all that memory goes to that's not available to the user-space.

To keep things short here's a breakdown of the biggest users:

62464kB FIMC0
15360kB FIMC1

12080kB FMIC_IS

71680kB ION heap allocation for FIMC

50176kB MFC secure
4096kB MFC normal

These values are defined in the defconfig and structured into S5P device resources in mach-midas.c, device drivers being in /drivers/media/video/samsung/{mfc5x|fimc|ump} and the ION allocator in drivers/gpu/ion/.

There's several other resources out there including things like the framebuffer (only 8MB, contrary to popular belief and myth) and so on but hey are largely insignificant. The above resources eat up 202MB of reserved kernel-space alone at all times;

FMICx are the Exynos camera interface S5P device resource allocations for the camera firmwares themselves.

FMIC_IS is the memory block for the imaging subsystem.

The ION memory allocation is used by the video systems and MFC for a Video4Linux driver for playback and composition of media.

MFC is the Multi Function Codec a.k.a. the hardware decoder and encoder, this is the memory heap it uses while decoding things.

I already tried messing with the allocated spaces by reducing them and even removing them but anything less than the stock values causes the camera to crash and hardware video decoding to fail (software works without a hitch). Everything else works fine on the phone and you have 950+mB of user-space available memory instead of the 777mB we have right now.

I also tried screwing around with the memory management unit of the MFC as it seemingly had the possibility to use the subsystem used for the Mali memory through something called VCM (Virtual Contiguous Memory) but the latter part seems to be something outdated and no longer supported by the kernel and also haven't found anything newer about it since 2010. Regardless of that, it would have still been something allocated via vmalloc() and thus still residing in kernel-space.

The two possibilities I envision are:

That we somehow manage to clear up the DMA memory whenever any of the features are not used, especially the camera systems since they take up 150MB of RAM at all times.

ION is capable to have user-space CMA blocks reserved, one would have to write a user-space programm/service to detect whenever the systems are needed and allocate the memory spaces like that, and make it work.

Both are quite complex tasks, but the return on investment(effort) would be around 200MB of more usable RAM in daily operations, which is basically is a 25% boost in usable memory.

Different systems (HTC OneX I believe) already do without some of these device memory blocks (979mB user-space), although I'm not familiar on how or what they use.

This thread is meant as an idea-gathering and discussion on how to approach this and the feasibility of it, and I hope some souls can add something to it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
Andrei,I always loved your more advanced than average stuff.This is no exception. :)

Anyway,I just had a crazy idea.What if we could make these take up swap space?I mean,Gokhanmoral's kernel let's you create a swap file.Would it be possible to get these to take the swap space and reside there until needed?Maybe we could trick the kernel into thinking that swap is an extension of RAM and not swap or something.That would be cool.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
Kernel-space memory is not swappable nor is there any magic trick to somehow circumvent this basic rule, else it would have already been done.

I found a quite nice graphic in a presentation [here] which describes the memory model:

Basically, we're dealing with the blue stuff here, if I'm not mistaken on how the S5P device handler allocates it.

Afaik the drivers in linux phones usually use a predetermined fixed physical address ... Without the sources i see difficult force to use userspace.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] b-eock:
That is not true for the Android OS, as back on the Captivate, one of the best Kernel devs I know gave us like 403MB of user space in RAM when the stock value was like 337MB or something in that area. He took some of the memory from GPU, camera, and system!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] simone201:
It was a lot easier on the Hummingbird platform...less chance to break something

Here on the S3 platform everytime a value is changed it breaks the feature which is related at. It makes no sense theorically but maybe the hardware NEEDS that space as per firmware design.

I think the only way is to find out how the Tegra 3 plaform dynamically allocates that memory and port it over Exynos.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SirCanealot:
AndreiLux, this sounds absolutely amazing! Great work!

It amazes me how Samsung can have so many design wins in one product, and how many small things that don't really make a lot of sense (that our friendly devs are then tasked with fixing! :p)

I think it may be worth spending time on this. S3 already has solid multi-tasking once you clear out bloat ware, so I'm creaming my panties thinking what it'd be like with more ram! (I'm surprised Tegra 3 works better in this respect since most Tegra 3 phones don't have good multi tasking!)

I don't really donate to devs (apart from buying some paid versions of apps :p), but if you manage to pull this off, I certainly want to 'buy you dinner'! :p

Good luck, everyone! :D

There was be the same on the galaxy s1,

Some kernel makers, released a bigmem version, that breaks hd playback and camera, and one of them, was hardcore... maybe you can ask him, how they solved that on galaxy s1...

They fixed hd and camera, and all is working on the bigmem versions on the gs1...

What i would say, maybe in the gs1 section, you would get your answers...

Cheers:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
I'm already running at 832mB now without issues in Perseus. And to be honest I don't care what happened on the S1, what those devs did, I already did myself before I wrote this, I'm more interested in conditionally allocating these spaces which is much harder and trickier.

Funny though that LH9 has more space now... would be curious to see the changes. If it's the same, then I "wasted" a day or two of testing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
What happens in a situation where the free memory is low because of userspace processes, and the camera stuff needs to start working? Assuming no swapping mechanism is being used, of course.

Before doing the required memory allocation for FIMC, is it feasible for the kernel to synchronously invoke the LMK to make some userspace processes go away to make space in physical memory for the new kernel memory area?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Interesting to see that Sammy, too, is going a direction to have more RAM usable, they must have noticed they just gave the device too little...

Any way to have a look behind the scences on what / how you did it to get the extra 45-50Mb RAM ? (github ?) I'd be rather keen on modding my kernel in such a way, too, until there's a way to go the whole nine yards with dynamic allocation.

I could really do with more available RAM ;)

As for using the LMK to free up space to dynamically for the camera etc., I don't think that was the intended design of the LMK ... I don't understand anyway why Google added the LMK wrap instead of tweaking Linux OOM to take care of freeing RAM.

JP.

PS: Wow, just noticed, you're the first fellow country-man I stumble on on xda :D With Luxembourg beeing so small, we wouldn't happen to know each other ?? ;)

EDIT : Forget my question about GitHub, I should know better : "to first search, ask questions later" :eek:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
When I mentioned LMK I was thinking of the mechanism in a broad sense, including OOM (I just had a look at mm/oom_kill.c which I didn't know about).

It looks like the logic is already there, but it's still required to understand whether it will kick in automatically - it looks like it's triggered automatically by pagefaults, but do these also occur on the kernel code? - if it makes a difference to have OOM sending SIGKILL instead of letting the processes be aware of termination (SIGTERM, or whatever LMK does), how can the physical areas be shifted (changing the virtual mappings) if that's important for the FIMC buffers, etc.

I guess this is already common knowledge for you guys. Don't mind me then, I'm just thinking out loud as this is new to me :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
I'm just getting into this, too ;)

We had a memory issue on a kernel on Sensation, which is why I've been digging a little into this stuff in the last few days / weeks ;)

I've not gotten to try to understand the fundamental difference between OOM and LMK, just noticed what may be one of the fundamental differences, LMK considers cache memory blocks to be free, and even though I've not checked OOM, I'd think it's not the same for Linux OOM.

But I'll stop here, I think we're maybe drifting away from the topic ;)

If pagefaults trigger OOM mechanisms, or free memory dropping below a threshold for LMK, it should be possible to trigger those when for example the camera driver is needed.

Maybe upping the LMK limits above the size of what is needed could do as well, as those would have LMK kick in, thus freeing RAM to at least that level ...

On the other hand I suppose what will be needed here is a big

contiguous

memory area, so freeing RAM alone wouldn't be enough if it's fragmented, a memory compactation would need to be triggered as well to ensure a sufficiantly sized bontiguous area of memory becomes available...

JP.

EDIT: Just thought of another detail, if kernel memory and userspace memory are two big contiguous memory areas (don't know this), the freed block whould need to be in the userspace block at the boundary of the kernel space block ? Since we would have to move that boundary ... to get userspace to kernel space ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
@ andrei and other experts here

Wanted to know something, as samsung has increased the free memory from 778 mb to 818 mb(40 mb higher) its clear that the additional 40 mb has been released from FMIC,ION,MFC blocks. my query is what impact it would have on the functionality of these blocks? also as samsung has done it officially in their rom it can be considered that there may be no impact but why did samsung didnt do it in the first place?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
If it was possible to look at their changes (sources) ... But the impact shouldn't be big / noticeable, else I doubt they would have done it...

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
True, but in practice that would be the equivalent of having less free memory because for all purposes the OS would start killing processes earlier, right?

So we need to keep a lighter limit on LMK (for RAM to actually be used for multiple open processes), but still be able to trigger it synchronously when RAM needs to be "reduced" to make space for the kernel memory for FIMC / whatever.

About it being continuous and/or needing to be on the boundary, that's exactly my point about whether virtual address remapping is required or not. Virtual remapping might be enough, bit it could also be the case that physical map needs to be compacted or reordered, and virtual mapping be fixed so all pointers keep working as before.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] teomor:
Charging my Nexus 7 with a 3m USB extension cable that I had lying around seemed to take forever (although I was using the charger from a Galaxy Tab, but I suspect the same applies with the Asus charger). So I thought maybe the cable wasn't very good and I start looking for different extension cables on the web and I find out that there are actually some ACTIVE extension cables that supposedly carry the signal without loss for as long as 5m. What I'm not sure about is if this is actually true because the store clerk I talked to about this particular cable recommended this cable to me, and said I needed an active cable, but he didn't seem very confident on the matter. I told him I needed it for charging, not for data transmission though. Anyway, just wondering what you guys think about these active cables, before I spend a lot of money on it?
