[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Just a quick question...

There are several phones running a stable version of CM10. What is about the Samsung hardware that makes a stable CM10 harder to achieve? And is it the same thing that impedes Samsung apps from running on a CM10 I9300?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
It's because Samsung won't release Exynos sources needed for better communication with the hardware

can someone tell me how to repack the RAMdisk into .img file please

thank you

p.s

i'm building kernel for the xperia x8 and it has no fastboot support
[XDA-University] roofrider:
I think pl scripts and makebootimg,(it's been a while since i did that) search you'll find many tuts.

Think there is a simplified tool by ketut, search for ketut kumajaya dev tools.
[XDA-University] :
yeah i tried that already but the problem is that i don't need boot.img i only need ramdisk and then i pack it in a .ftf file that i flash with xperia flasher
[XDA-University] roofrider:
The last time i checked ramdisk was inside the boot.img, u want to pack that ramdisk alone into a .ftf?

Never had a sony, u'll have ask this in the Xperia forum.
[XDA-University] :
let me explain my problem, i've created a .ftf (kernel for xperia x8) and it is boot up but i missed some files inside the ramdisk, so now i need to repack my new ramdisk folder into ramdisk file and i don't know how to do that .
[XDA-University] roofrider:
So u have the ramdisk and now u want to zip it to boot.img-ramdisk.gz?
[XDA-University] :
i need it to packed like this one

i mark it in the picture
[XDA-University] roofrider:
I can barely see the detail but it's enough to say that it's different from what i've been doing with my sammy.

DSIXDA'S Android Kitchen does it this automatically.

when working folder has been setup:

0 > 12 > w (to extract boot.img)

then you will get BOOT-EXTRACED, inside there will be a ramdisk folder, once finished editing enter "b" to build the boot.img again

[HTC EVO 3D] lokster:
I have just bought MHL adapter for my Evo 3D GSM.

At first, I tested it on an older LG 720p TV - everything was perfect - the display was cloned on the TV by just connecting the cable.

The games were perfectly playable, etc.

I'm not sure if the stock ROM supports cloning, but it does not matter - I'm using latest CoolSense.

However, on my Panasonic 42" LCD TV it sets the resolution to 1080p@24Hz, which introduces considerable amount of lag between the phone's screen and the TV. This makes almost all games unplayable on the TV.

I've found that running the following command as root can change the resolution on the TV to 720p@60Hz (and everything looks fine), but after a second, something reverts it back to 1080p@24Hz:

echo 4 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb1/video_mode

I think that the following command lists the available video modes:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb1/edid_modes

After some experimenting, I've come to this:

echo 4 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb1/video_mode ; sleep 1 ; killall hdmid

This changes the resolution to 720p, and kills hdmid before it's able to restore the previous resolution. And there is no lag at all when playing games (Dead Space, Need for Speed, etc...)

I'm sure it's not very OK to kill the hdmid service (I suppose it manages the HDMI connection/detection etc), but after I kill it I can still disconnect the MHL cable, and when reconnect it the picture is still cloned.

However, the "HDMI" notification icon stays even when the HDMI cable is disconnected (I suppose the HDMI port is still powered and draining battery because the hdmid is not running)

Btw, I'm not Android developer, I'm just using my linux skills here :)

I am wondering why the resolution gets restored to 1080p@24Hz?

Also, how can I safely start/stop this hdmid (or other) service?

If there are some developers here, I would like to hear some thoughts...

Maybe this will be my first android app :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mybook4:
Excellent work! I'm interested in doing the same thing on the galaxy s iii. Does your ROM have init.d support? hdmid may be a daemon that starts with Android. On some Linux distros, a bash script may be present with the "stop" and ”start" commands. I'm not in front of a computer right now to dig deeper, but you might be able to do something like "hdmid stop" as root.
[HTC EVO 3D] lokster:
Yes, my rom has full init.d support, but unfortunately I've already tried "hdmid stop", and it does not do anything (it just hangs after executed).

This is frustrating - the problem is common, with different phones from different manufacturers, and yet, there is so little information (and no real solution)...

How hard is to just put a simple app to change the resolution... The chinese Android TV sticks all have it!
[HTC EVO 3D] mybook4:
I believe killall sends a SIGTERM signal to hdmid. Is the daemon open source? If so, you could check to see whether or not the daemon handles SIGTERM. It may be appropriately cleaning up before exiting. If so, running killall hdmid wouldn't be that big of a deal.

On the galaxy s iii, I don't have an hdmid daemon running before or after the mhl is connected. Some other process handles it.

1080p 24

hi folks interesting thread. i want to change the hdmi output on my s4 to 1080p24 with the samsung mhl 2.0 adapter. by default its 1080p60.

i'm rooted and using root explorer have found the relevant files, and sure enough the video_mode files has 16 in it - 1080p60. when i try to change this to 32 (1080p24) using a text editor (its mounted as r/w), the changes don't stick even though it says the file is saved ok. am i doing something wrong here? i noticed that you said "running the following command as root" - could you explain what this means please? i presume its in reference to using a terminal emulator?
[HTC EVO 3D] i_guana:
I'm curious as to why the topic of HDMI has so little interest. It just baffles me. We need to find a way to stir more interest in this topic. I have a Galaxy Note 3 and I am having similar problems. Mine is that when using MHL I only get 720p (I have two different brands, same result) but on my Note 2 MHL works at 1080p just fine. Using an AllShareCast dongle works at 1080p fine. I prefer MHL to the compression artifact laden AllShareCast so this is frustrating me. There simply must be a relatively easy way to just select output resolutions using an app. Why does none exist? MHL has been around for some time now (2 years?). Come on! We have powerful PC's in our hands now! Let's get them desktop friendly!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jack Barrett:
Turns out I'm not alone! Check my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49180834#post49180834
[HTC EVO 3D] ANDREtheG1ANT:
FIX!!!!!

To change the resolution and make games and all apps lag free (with the method I found) you MUST be rooted.

If rooted, download a root terminal/cmd and type ru in prompt and hit enter. Then type wm size 720x1280. ***Will stay on indefinitely until reverted back with command ru then wm size 1080x1920***

Now your device will be 720p, but you will notice that your icons are huge. To fix that in CM12.1 go to setting/look and feel/DPI and change from 440 to 320. If you don't have CM12.1 download a DPI changer and change to 320, or find corresponding root cmd to change DPI... I don't know it because CM12.1 has one stock.

Now everything should be lag free and awesome for gaming! I use sixasis and screen standby and have been playing Zelda on the couch the last few evening.

Hope this helps at least one person.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarvinPa:
Hello,

I'm a noob to all of this, currently running CM7.2 nightly on a green lens MB525.

I have tried to boot cm9 and 10 using multiboot, but failed. I assume this has something to do with the kernel?

I thought a custom kernel was not possible but has this really changed? I'd like to try some of the more experimental

roms, but especially, I'd like to enable USB OTG, which the omap chip should have. A robotics project

of mine could benefit from this greatly.

Is any of this really even possible, There are lots of documentation, but either it's out of date, or I'm just confused.

Thanks,
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
Hey,

custom kernels are possible, but at this time not in CM7.

Try the JellyX kernel for OTG.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarvinPa:
Looks like what I'd like to use. Just to make sure: I don't think the kernel can be loaded from the sd card?

I have never been able to boot any of the new roms which I assume require a new kernel to run from the sd-card using multiboot 0.8. The only roms I have successfully run from sd are 7.2 and older. using 2nd system, i think 2nd init uses the internal storage?

I'm a little careful not to install a new kernel in my main system in case I'll brick it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-piggy:
OTG on defy？are you sure？how to use
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarvinPa:
Not quite. I have no experience with OTG. I assumed (after the appropriate kernel modules were loaded) it only needed to be powered externally to make it act as a host, but apparently that might not be the case and an OTG cable needs to be purchased. But apparently it should work. Software wise I'll be using libusb which apparently is ported. Would like to hear if anyone has some experience with defy + otg.
