The HTC One TV remote has an IR learning option.

But it seems that S4 don't have this option :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlarman:
There's a program on the Play Store called "Smart Remote for Galaxy S4." Has anyone tried it?

Care to explain then how to remove a single device, as I walked through every single menu and there is no way of doing it from within the Samsung supplied app that I could see.

And having been a user of android devices since inception I would state that even if it is possible it is far from intuitive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben81:
Go to SETTINGS select the ROOM you want to delete, go to the bottom and hit DELETE ROOM. How much more intuitive do you want it?

If you only have one room you need to create another first or it won't let you delete the original.

It'll be very hard to implement a learning function without an IR-receiver.

PROVE that SGS4 does not have IR receiving function...crapy samsung watch TV apk is not valid info for me! Show me datasheet of SGS4 IR diode and then think about alternate options!!! Otherwise its waste of time...why do things difficult...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozkaya:
If my memory serves me right, any infrared diode can also generate a small amount of voltage when hit by an IR beam, i.e. it is also a receiver. So it should be able to learn codes. Even $10 universal remotes can learn with a single IR diode. I hope this function should just be a software issue, it could be implemented.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
Can't the front-facing infrared sensor that does all the palm swipe stuff act as an infrared receiver? Maybe you could program IR codes using that sensor and transmit them using the other sensor.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
You didn't bother to look at my reply. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippyuk:
Seriously???

I hope it is just your English but really!!! How about you do the legwork and prove that is does have an IR receiver. Nowhere does it state that the S4 can learn IR codes so everyone is just going on what information is out there. I would have thought that Samsung would have marketed the S4 as a learning remote if it was able to function that way. Yeah, they may drop an update on us which may enable this but at this point in time there is no evidence that it does have a IR receiver.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
Was the HTC One marketed with having an IR receiver? Because it does.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippyuk:
Not my point, you are asking others to prove it does not have one. If you are so bothered about it then prove it does have one. People can speculate as much as they want but I doubt very much anyone is going to go out of their way to prove it does not have one.

EDIT: Apologies, you did not post the reply I originally quoted so my response was to that poster and not yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
No need for apologies. I knew it wasn't for me. But like seriously anyone know if HTC One was marketed with one? I couldn't find anything on it. Maybe I didn't search hard enough. I'm not trying to make a point or anything. Just wondering.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippyuk:
:) Yeah I get it. I was just rattled by the post asking people to prove it did not have one where it really should be the reverse if someone is that bothered about it.

Mentioned in another thread, I think the IR emitter is pants anyway, it has to be in direct line of site of the equipment you are controlling and is not very powerful either. I personally am steering clear of it until, if at all possible this is improved.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
Understandable. It should be the other way around. :p

I honestly don't share those complaints though. Don't know how far exactly my TV is from the sofa but I prefer using my S4 because it's a far more powerful remote than the one that came with my TV for some reason. My dad agrees with that too. (No I don't have a cheap TV. :D)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippyuk:
Well on that basis I may give it another go. Not that I really need it tbh. My whole house is kitted out with IR blasters and RF everywhere :) but thanks for the up, will defo try it again later.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyingwolf:
I did look at your images.

The problem is that the first image clearly shows that to delete anything you must delete the room.

And I cannot find the second screen which seems to allow you to edit or delete a device.

Care to walk me through your steps to getting there?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Completely off topic, but you should do a long exposure shot one time when using the controllers just to see the amount or IR shooting around the house.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
I just clicked on the thing I wanted to delete and it gives me that option. :p

Hmm, I do not get that option.

In /sys/class/sec/sec_ir/ there are functions for sending and self-testing but no receiving. I believe, at least with this iteration of devices, learning is not possible.

Isn't there an infrared receiver on the front of the phone? The one that enables all the air gestures and ****? Can't they use that to learn IR codes and transmit using the other?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
I dont think that is a receiver. It is a transmitter which beams out IR light and not even any codes. this light is detected by the front camera for gestures. same principle used by optical mice.

the S4 does not have IR receiving capabilities. Maybe unless someone can design an app to learn IR codes using the camera itself. or may an IR module on the PC can be used for recording the codes and transferred via a text file to the IR remote app on the phone.

that would be cool
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
No, if you shine a camera at the front of the S4, there is clearly an infrared light that is turned on all the time when the phone is unlocked. It clearly has to be a receiver as otherwise there's no other purpose for it!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeddi:
It is should be a proximity sensor.

I don't know if is fast enough to read a remote control ir pulse.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
A receiver will not shine light. It is an ir led and is used as a ir light source for the camera to know gestures in the dark.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie_mp:
guys i am almost sure ... there is no ir receiver on s4 , cause hold a remote and press its buttons in front of the front and back camera ... you would see both cameras detecting IR Light with the front cam detecting IR light more prominently.... might be because of resolution or what ever but the camera on s4 does detects IR Light ( and probably this very thing is being used for air gestures) .

regards,

richie

and yes there is another IR LED next to the receiver (on the right side)...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cee Vee:
Front IR

If you point a smart phone camera at a TV remote, you will clearly see the IR LED on the front of the remote. The bandwidth of the smart phone camera is sufficient to detect infra red.

I suspect (but I am not certain) that the front facing IR LED is an transmitter and not a receiver. However the front facing camera will detect reflections from your hand etc and so can detect movement.

I don't think that learning IR is possible as there is no receiver, definitely an oversight. I suspect that the camera has too much persistence to detect the rapid changes in an IR transmission and so while it can detect IR it can't resolve the modulation from a remote.

I'm not certain .... just an educated guess.

i'm having the same problem. ive got many roms. all of them are showing the same errors. its synced in properly. iam running 1.66 on my O2 XDAII . ive cooked up my own rom which i want to install. or maybe 1.60. 1.66 is not stable, i'm having a lot of problems with sound & missed calles etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Biso007:
Are you trying to flash your XDA II with a cooked ROM made for XDA I ??!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hyper:
no ... whichever rom i try... i get the same problem...

1. i double click the rom exe file.

2. a small dos window opens up, where i presume its trying to get some data from the phone.. it shows... FAILED TO GET DATA FROM PHONE...

3. the installation window open .... when i click NEXT.. it shows error getting data from phone. please check USB connection etc..

i phone is synced properly before i start the installation. i tried it by disabling the sync as well.

i even tried the i-mate 1.72 rom version . same thing. i even tried the A3.09 cooked rom for wm2003.

whats going wrong? is there a way i can run the exe on the phone itself, by transfering it to the documents file or something???

please let me know.. wierd thing is that i've got my O2 XDA II with 1.66 & not 1.60. i actually want to put 1.60, but when i log onto myxda.com & try downloading it, it says ur phone does not need to download it as it got a latat verion already installed.(obviously ive registered my phone there with my imei no)

any ideas?? please let me know. 1.66 is not stable & im having lots of problems with the sound. & sometimes i get a call, but my phone does not ring.

all this started with SBP's software.. especially Phone Plus II.

since ive removed it, its better but yet not good enough. maybe i should just do a hard reset. But how many times can i keep doing that??

its irritating.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Biso007:
I 'm totally confused!! ... which ROM you are using to flash which device ??!!!

cooked WM2003 ROMs (like 30.09 and 4.01.16) are made for only Wallaby devices (XDA I) ... the 1.60, 1.66, 1.72 ... etc are made for only Hymalia devices (XDA II) .... now what is the exact error you get when you are doing exactly what ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sdk234:
Just noticed that some events established through Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the One. Most events are syncing -- seems to be sporadic and random - I can't see a pattern to the events being omitted.

I discovered the problem when I checked on a reminder I set up during May 2014 as an all day event which did not sync over to the One. I started to poke around and noticed that another event during that same month didn't come over to the phone either. So it isn't just a one time thing. I tried clearing calendar data from the phone and resyncing, turning the phone off and on, deleting and re-adding the event - I even deleted and reimported all my events for the entire calendar through the desktop version, cleared calendar data on the phone and resynced. Still the same certain events that are established in Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the phone.

The final twist is that they are syncing correctly to my iPad calendar. This is what leads me to believe that it is a problem on the phone side.

Anyone else noticing something amiss with some calendar events around a year out not syncing to their phone?

(Also tested using the Google Calendar App in addition to the HTC stock app - same problem regardless of the calendar app)
[General Questions and Answers] Roman2025:
Howdy all,

I am a bit new around here but I stay pretty busy on some other forums and I run a site called rockchipfirmare.com. I don't consider myself a developer in the true sense of the word but rather I mix-n-mash roms primarily without getting into too much actual coding.

So I have a question that is slightly out of my league and I am hoping someone with a bit more knowledge can lend a hand.

I have two chipsets in front of me.

One is the Samsung Exynost 4412 (Quad-Core A9 with Mali-400 MP4 gpu)

The other is a Rockchip RK3188 (Quad-Core A9 with Mali-400 MP4 gpu)

Basically, I have noticed that Exynos pretty much runs EVERYTHING just a little bit smoother than the RK3188 does, even though the RK3188 actually does better in most synthetic benchmarks.

I think it -might- be a driver optimization issue as I am sure Samsung does a heck of a lot more with their drivers than Rockhip. I also suspect that the Mali-400 GPU in the RK3188 is running at a lower clock than Rockchip claims. Thus far I haven't found a way to figure out what the GPU specifically is clocked at.

Anyhow, here is my question....

Would it be possible to get the Samsung Mali drivers from the Siyah kernel and import them into the RK3188 kernal for a specific device?

I think I have most of the tools to do so already as I can unpack and repack boot images for the RK3188. Although I never have gotten into the extracted kernel image.

I guess I am asking if I should spend time on the above or whether it is a fools errand and if I do spend time on it what exactly am I looking to get from the SIyah kernel once I get into it?

Any thoughts our help someone would like to throw my way are most welcome.

Kind Regards,

Roman

[General Questions and Answers] willthrom:
Well, that is what I am try to learn, how to combine different modules drivers.

If the module is compile with the same kernel version (Linux 3.0.36), then maybe it could work.

How is going so far? I really would like to learn about that to be able to recollect all the modules for different RK3188 tablets and the be able to recompile new version of the kernel.

I am going to start playing with a PIPO M6 but any help will be much appreciated.

Note: If the GPU driver are integrated in the kernel I don't know you are going to be able to use them, as you cannot build a complete kernel for your RK8188 tablet.

For mali, the source code is open source and it can be found at http://malideveloper.arm.com/develo...source-mali-gpus-linux-kernel-device-drivers/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubei:
Here's the rundown of what I did:

Using Odin 3.0.7 on Windows, I flashed a kernel from Sakuramilk, don't quite remember which one. The flashing succeeded according to ODIN but the phone wouldn't boot and I would get the Docomo Logo with the yellow triangle.

Following that I downloaded the stock kernel from Sammobile and tried to flash that (SC02COMMP4/SC02CDCMMP4), but since it didn't work I tried to flash + re-partition using a stock PIT file I found at some thread. The re-partitioning went through but the flashing failed half-way. The result of that was that now, when I try to power on the phone there's no logo, only a message on the top of the screen in green text:

my guess is that my re-partitioning with the PIT file broke the partitions and now it can't find the logo (or any other file).

So this is an almost bricked phone that can go into download mode and is seen by odin but now odin can't upload anything (I've tried a few stock kernels from sammobile). I always get:

Any advice on how get this phone flashed back to it's original state or any other working state for that matter would be very much appreciated.

Alright, this mod is dedicated to mariog, who helped me to not give up on this idea.

Now, on to the MOD...

This mod is a ROM that gives the NST an experience that is as-close-as-possible to legitimate Android. This mod will be flashed using the CWM for NST. There's one problem, I had a release ready, but when I tested it, well that's another story. The point is, I deleted alpha-1 in a fit of rage over it not working, so, I need more devs to help me build this, because A.) I can't dedicate my every waking hour to this. (I'm in school most of the time) B.) Because my first attempt failed even though I looked it over like a Trillion times. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

In the future, I hope to branch this mod out to other black and white Readers, But at this point, I'm just worried about the NST.

THE MOD WILL INCLUDE:

-The best homescreen possible for the NST (Was using stock 2.1 Eclair launcher, not sure what is best. Launcher 7 looks good)

-Barnes & Noble stock reading apps

-B&N OOBE. (Modified?)

-Android Market/Gapps

-Dropbox included in install

-No bloatware (ie: phone.apk etc)

-Best NST internet browser (opera mini) installed as default browser

-"Chef's freezer" app (look it up)

-Probably more.

-I will also include a minimalistic version. (No: dropbox, browser, freezer, Gapps other than Gmail)

All I need is devs willing to devote just a little bit of their time to this project.

Note: ROM based on android 2.1, I will try to do 2.3 once CM7 support is made for the NST.

Note2: All you readers will be lucky if I get any sort of release anytime soon. Don't rush me. If you want to get this fast, then you can help me! I need beta-testers and devs anyways. No unofficial releases will be made to non beta-testers. If you want them, become a beta-tester!

And I have made progress! Couldn't unzip the stock update file in Mac or Raspbian Linux. (yes I code with a R-PI) Now, I have borrowed my friends windows machine and success! But, it is slow, and not a permanent fix. How do I unzip the update in Linux or OSX? When I try in OSX the .zip file unzips to .tar.gz and THAT unzips to .zip and so on. I am using the regular OSX unarchiver. In Linux, the unarchive just fails. (Any suggestions on that? I'm good with android, but OSX is a mystery to me)

Anyway, I have most of /system/app done, and I am REALLY exited. It looks like this project isn't going to fail, but I NEED MORE DEVS!!!
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
It might be because the B&N zips are signed and that causes problems with some unzip programs. Stripping the first 0x1a3 (419) bytes off the start of the file takes the signature off and turns it into a unsigned zip that most unzip programs don't have problems with.

NCT is quite useful, just also useful to know that certain options within it trigger a no confirmation reset to stock. I wasn't intending to deride it.

I was already aware of this issue with factory resets. That is why I am wary of including NCT in the ROM.
