don't u guys read or what ?

it was all fake..and nobody can make a bugfree cm for our broadcom chip unless he has the drivers (which i strongly doubt that marion have it)

Very good phone... :)

Is there any way to port some rom, I'm asking because of /custpack dir which have this phone? I do not know for other Alcatel phones, but hierarchy of files is strange on this model, with that /custpack, all vital files are there, for example build.prop is there, in /system/ is just link to that file... That's only one example...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
Every Alcatel has this problem, the darn /custpack partition. I owned a 995 before the Idol and the hierarchy is quite similar but it had the Quallcom chipset... A lot of roms has been done for that phone but as much as I get it, we can only port a rom from a phone with MTK chipset... I am not familiar with Android development at all, that's why we desperately need a Developer who could bypass this /custpack partition and create or port some ROM for this phone... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
Any devs interested for this phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dany547:
there is any source code for the device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
There is some, but people say that it is not complete... Here's the link

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dany547:
there is full kernel source :) 3.4.0.0

i found the partition layout, also the Device it apares that it has CWM istalled by default, i found the device config.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
Cool :) Can someone make a custom rom based on this? I'm a noob so I must ask... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dany547:
first we need to compile a kernel compatible with CM/AOKP, then build a device tree for building a custom rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
Is there any way that you can do this? And i have seen that the chipset can be a problem because this is a Mediatek chipset... as far as i understood, CyanogenMod can not be built for this chipset... Although i prefer AOKP :) but i dont know can even AOKP be made or maybe ported to this chipset...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lenks:
is Alcatel good with firmware updates? I hope this phone gets android 4.3...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theshrink89:
Alcatel will not update this phone further than 4.1.1... that's why i want us to create a custom rom...

Any news for Android 4.2.2 for this device? Or maybe working custom ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PsicoPete:
Hi guys,

Since there are no more updates on Alcatel side for this phone I wonder if it could be possible to mod an Idol Mini ROM (which is already 4.2) to fit this phone. They share the same chipset and basic features so this shouldn't be so hard, should it?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dvd777:
Since Alcatel 6030 models will not see any update or modded ROM, l decided to kill my 6030X. Display cracked and l throw it out of my window and made someone happy who will replace the screen. I rather use Jiayu G4C than that Alcatel forgotten son.

I have previously rooted an htc evo 4g and achieved s-off, I use Amon-ra recovery on that phone and was wondering if I was stuck with cwm recovery for the htc evo design. Additionally is it possible to achieve s-off on the htc evo design? There is just not a lot of support for this phone and I am not sure all of what is universal for android or htc phones. Thanks for the help in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Sheemon7:
Hi,

today, I found out, that transfering files via usb is so slow on my device.

I've got sd card class 10 (and also tried out some other cards which had the same issue, so perhaps the problem is not there)

I also tried to transfer some files to internal usb storage and it didnt aproved any upturn. Neither did different cable.

Transfering 3,5 GB card takes about 16 minutes,

using mtp, rooted Galaxy Beam I8530.

I am vanilla user, but I think it should be faster.

Any types for improving transfering speed or is there any other problem which needs to be solved?

Thanks in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
The issue is not your sd card, but the USB interface itself is very slow. There isn't much you can do other than using a different interface. If you have a card reader on your computer, you can take out the sd card and put it into there to see if it will read faster.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdubcr250:
First sorry if this isn't in the right area. Ok I had a thunderbolt with soff and flashed roms,kernels and mods. From what I've read I can install goomanager use it to install a recovery then just flash roms and kernels straight from my sd card ? Sorry for the nood or dumb question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
First you must root. Then install recovery. You can use goo or the all in one tool in the development section to flash recovery also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdubcr250:
Sorry guess I should have said I'm rooted did that today got the phone yesterday. So basicly it just like flashing with soff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdubcr250:
Yea im rooted did that today got the phone yesterday. So basicly its just like flashing with soff because of the loci hack ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Correct if youd like download my tool in development section and start at step 2 it will prep for recovery then oick your recovery select that option and hit enter. Your ready to go
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] halomademeapc:
I thought we could use an organized thread for focusing on getting the camera to work on 4.2-based ROMs for the Galaxy Player 5. Right now, there are three iterations of CM10.1 threads, and discussion is also going on in other ROM threads. I'm basically putting this here so we can all talk about it in one place and not have to dig every time we need to find a piece of information that was previously mentioned.

I'll update the OP as more information surfaces.

Things that we already know

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1988153&d=1369421491 this fixes camcorder for the rear camera. Source

Speculation

The image sizes could be off because our CM10.1 was ported from the other Galaxy S devices. Source

The Galaxy Stellar also uses a 3.2MP camera and has native 4.0.4. This could possibly be of use.

Other things that could be potentially useful

https://sites.google.com/site/jaiprakashgogi/professional this is the website for the person who develops the driver for the s5K5CCGX sensor. We could try contacting him to see if he could help us out.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
The developer profile says that he developed for Qualcomm Snapdragon powered devices so the drivers are likely to be incompatible with our Exynos SoC. However, if our front facing camera is 1.3 MP, I think we might be able to use the drivers from the Galaxy Tab
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] halomademeapc:
Nope, our Front-Facing is a measly 0.3MP VGA cam like the other Galaxy S phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Well that put a spanner in my plan. I guess the next step from here is to work out why the FFC saves pictures but the RFC doesn't. There must be a difference in the method they use to store the image, but we need to locate where the code specifies the method of saving the image
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
A fix has already been found for video recording in CM10.1 and it changes the media profiles file, so we don't have to worry about that :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
We already have our fix for the camera without even touching the libcamera (for the 3.0 kernel). Here's the commit if ever you want to check it:

Not going to quote your entire post because that would be ridiculous, but thanks x1000 :D especially for those 2 commits

it's very reassuring knowing that we have another person helping who has done this before :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
This pretty much completely confuses me... Is CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYS defined for your device? A lot of what was added looks to be support for the P1. Is that because you took some of the code from the P1?

Thank you. I still have no idea what much of this does, but I will spend some time this month looking into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Final post for the day:

I decided to look into the kernel-side driver for some explanation for a few of these magic numbers, and here's what I found staring us in the face this whole time (drivers/media/video/s5k5ccgx.c):

/* Default resolution & pixelformat. plz ref s5k5ccgx_platform.h */
#define FORMAT_FLAGS_COMPRESSED	0x3
#define SENSOR_JPEG_SNAPSHOT_MEMSIZE	0x33F000 //3403776 //2216 * 1536 384000 33F000
#define POLL_TIME_MS	10
#define DEFAULT_RES	WVGA	/* Index of resoultion */
#define DEFAUT_FPS_INDEX	S5K5CCGX_15FPS
#define DEFUALT_MCLK 24000000	/* 24MHz default */
#define DEFAULT_FMT	V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY	/* YUV422 */

#define INNER_WINDOW_WIDTH	143
#define INNER_WINDOW_HEIGHT	143
#define OUTER_WINDOW_WIDTH	320
#define OUTER_WINDOW_HEIGHT	266

/*
* Specification
* Parallel : ITU-R. 656/601 YUV422, RGB565, RGB888 (Up to VGA), RAW10
* Serial : MIPI CSI2 (single lane) YUV422, RGB565, RGB888 (Up to VGA), RAW10
* Resolution : 1280 (H) x 1024 (V)
* Image control : Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness, Glamour
* Effect : Mono, Negative, Sepia, Aqua, Sketch
* FPS : 15fps [MENTION=366900]full[/MENTION] resolution, 30fps [MENTION=355664]vga[/MENTION], 24fps [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]
* Max. pixel clock frequency : 48MHz(upto)
* Internal PLL (6MHz to 27MHz input frequency)
*/

So the 0x33F000 is the correct value, and the postview defines in SecCamera.h (not to mention the rest of the values) need to be updated with those here.

The only problem is that some of the information is wrong. The resolution stated in the comment is 1.3MP, the beginning of the file says 2.0MP, but we know (and the resolution list later in the file confirms) that it is a 3.0MP sensor. Meh. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
I'm going to do that now
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
No progress :( [MENTION=4610477]Mevordel[/MENTION] the camera just force closes with the header changes. I think we might need to mess around with the camera driver in the kernel

Or maybe I need to allocate more memory to the camera

What I did was to take the 3.0 p1 drivers, then modify the ifdef to comply with our devices. (config_samsung_galaxys to replace mach_aries and config_samsung_ypg1 to replace config_mach_p1) with the 2.6 drivers , bbelos had completely copied the p1 which is why we have the camera working on it. We're only doing the same thing but with some ugly manners of implementing it. (it's implementation will be different with the cm10.1 kernel.). This is how we got it working.

Also wouldn't be more easier to take your camera drivers from p1?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I had always thought that the issue was with the camera.aries library and not the kernel. I flashed back to my old CM9 build from a year or so ago (with the 2.6.35.7 kernel, that worked with Gingerbread and its camera) and used our camera library for 4.2.2 and I got the exact same errors with the rear camera, but the front worked fine as it did with 4.2.2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm to get mostly your camera working, you need the camera HAL drivers to fit with the FIMC kernel drivers. So if you want to use the P1 camera HAL, you will need to update your fimc drivers in order to get it working. In your case you would only need to add ifdef CONFIG_MACH_VENTURI.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
It seems that it might be worthwhile to take a look at the code that produces the preview images... I mean that technically is our device producing images from the BFC right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hbxd2010:
If camera work is impossible, i think we can make a camera app without any setting or anything( image preview only) and do something in such a way that touch any point on screen will take a screen shot.

Finaly, im sorry for my idea if its nonsensical. This isnt development. This is only a trick.

I tried it. Its without setting
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dr. Cyanide:
I think making a Galaxy Player 5 custom camera app sounds like a great idea until we can get all the drivers playing nicely together. I've programmed Android apps before, but never done anything with the camera. It could possibly be used to debug issues as well.

Right now I'm not sure where anyone would even start with such an app. I'm guessing the default api calls wouldn't work (at least, not all of them), otherwise the other camera apps would work just fine.

--------

Can anyone help me make sense of the previous posts? They seem like they were written for the benefit of those who have previously worked with the camera, not new recruits to the project.

From what I've gathered, there is one file for video properties, there is probably another for picture properties, and that the camera needs files in both the kernel and ROM (or app) to match up in order to work. Is this right? Can someone also name those files and where they are in a directory? Anything else a camera noob should know?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alanwyl:
I think we are dealing with something lower level than our app api.

and yes I have tried to use the camera api to take picture but it is not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
Yeah we're dealing with with the camera HAL and probably the kernel driver as well. I'll try importing the camera driver and HAL from the p1 today.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
To explain why I haven't worked on this much yet (in addition to not owning the device anymore), I have purchased parts for a new build server, which should get here Saturday. So next week I will resume compiling stuff, and if any of the other developers want, I can give them ssh access too. Here are the specs:

It will be running Arch Linux x86_64. Hopefully this will get a CM build in under 30 minutes.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
It's a machine that can compile android a lot faster than your home PC, so you can focus more on the changes you're making instead of sitting there watching messages scroll by for hours. Were you planning on compiling something? If so, PM me about it and send me your SSH public key so I can give you an account.

[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] I haven't gotten your key yet; still waiting on that PM.

(Here is an article explaining what I am referring to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_Keys).

The parts have come in and everything is built so tomorrow I will start compiling kernels to see if I can fix the camera. Zaclimon sent me a PM with some ideas, so I will try those first and report back any results.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
Zaclimon sent me a p1 camera kernel patch he made that works but I need its corresponding camera HAL :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] An1mus:
Um im not sure if this wil help or not but i got a SG Tab 2 7.1 and i has a 3.2 MP rear facing cam, and has 4.2.2. Could you guys use something from this to help with the cam dev?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Here you go, p1-common HAL modified for our screen size (preview sizes fixed).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sultanxda:
Results with the camera lib you provided and Zaclimon's kernel patch:

A picture I took with the back camera saved as a screen of solid gray.

Here's what the preview for the back camera looks like: http://d-h.st/Q8q

FFC crashes gallery upon taking a photo (the resulting photo is 0B) and in the preview the rotation is 270 degrees so my face was coming out of the left side of the screen and when I tilt the device forward and backward in portrait mode the FFC preview moves from left to right and when I tilt the device from left to right the FFC preview moves up and down.

Could I get the camera HAL source you're using? I'd like to try experimenting with it (though I doubt I'll get anywhere :p)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
That's about what the cm10 preview looked like... I should really diff the two HALs to see what causes that and how we can take the best of both parts.

Edit: original to p1 diff here https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6yu5fs788tamw9/cam.diff
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Sorry [MENTION=4610477]Mevordel[/MENTION] I was absent during the weekend, I will try to send you this pm today. Also, your s5k5ccgx drivers are different from the p1 one so I think you should be better to use the stock one, (mostly because of the flash drivers too). So I think the better is to merge the parts from p1 to the stock drivers.

Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Te interesting part is that we are using the crespo HAL with the crespo fimc drivers, so it should be compatible, right? Or is it that crespo fimc is not compatible with s5k5ccgx drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I do think this is it, but AFAIK your s5k5ccgx drivers contains part that I've seen in P1 s5k5ccgx drivers which I do think are not in crespo's too. Maybe try the stock drivers with the P1 FIMC drivers to see how it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I think I'll try all of the combinations :) Meanwhile, it does seem like the HAL and fimc driver are not cooperating. See logs.
