It's not a waste of my time! My experience with OpenGL shaders (where the lag is coming from) is extremely low, this is something to maybe help me learn, which is part of why I do this in the first place. :good:

It's an ambient temperature sensor. It'll let you get an idea of what the temperature is wherever you are. Obviously it isn't going to be very accurate if you've been playing a bunch of video games and draining the battery on the phone, but that throws off the barometer too then (where it gets the temperature reading) so the phone's internal heat is already a possible issue with that sensor in the first place. Might as well have either both available to use or neither...

FML has had support for this since about the time of KitKat's release, and recently it's starting to get picked up by some other devs too!

Here's a little story as to how I got the idea for it etc:

I was annoyed looking at all the sensors listed under Device Info in AnTuTu Benchmark and seeing just about everything marked as "Support" except "Ambient Temperature Sensor." I then faintly remembered that in order to get an accurate reading with a barometer you have to account for the temperature as well. I looked up the sensor the Galaxy Nexus used for the barometer, the Bosch BMP180. I saw the data sheet for it and it said it did indeed read the temperature. I checked the code for it in the kernel, figured out where it read the temperature, and after a bit of tinkering and experimenting I learned how the driver for it in the kernel worked and how the Galaxy Nexus read the info from the kernel.

The result:

I'll have a look at that, chances are OmniROM has it fixed already and I just need to get out a new build. Thanks for the heads up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
My car needs about $150 worth of parts. I'm planning on doing the work on it with my dad because the labor costs would be ridiculous at a repair shop.

Unfortunately, I don't have the money for it.

I'm here asking for your guys' help. If I could get even half the cost ($75), my parents would probably be willing to cover the rest.

I haven't received much in donations, in fact I've only received one donation (which was very generous though!). With all the time I've put into FML, if I made even $0.50 an hour I'd be able to cover the $150 in parts entirely, and then some.

While "car repair" isn't really something listed on what I'd use donations for, without my car I won't be able to get to college, so it does involve college expenses, which is listed.

Don't take this post as "I'm not going to work on FML unless I get donations!", that's not the case at all! I didn't even accept donations for quite a while, I'm by no means in this for money.

So, if you guys can help out, even just a few bucks, I would really appreciate it. You can donate via PayPal by simply clicking the little button under my name that says "Donate to Me", if PayPal won't work for you and you'd still like to donate hit me up with a PM and we can maybe figure something out.

Thanks,

-MW

FIXED - camera issues after update to 2.1.037

changing video to 720p fixed my video issue. you have to change it while in camera mode, if you switch to video to modify settings it freezes.

[MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] you ever consider trying to build your rom almost entirely with clang compiler like codefirex did? I'm just curious if clang with -O4 optimization does a better job than linaro gcc with -O3 optimization and LTO. (If I remember correctly -O4 optimization for clang adds LTO).

Btw, soon you'll be the only one working on a custom omnirom build for the gnex (with the exception of one final release of my rom), since I'll be moving onto a new phone this week so good luck :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Wow. I cannot thank you guys enough. I've been able to get enough money from donations to cover nearly the full cost of the parts I need, and since my dad doesn't have to spend much money on those parts he's going to get me a new set of spark plugs (which we both think my car is slightly overdue for) and a Haynes repair manual too. I will be sending a thank you to all of those that donated as well as people who have been long-time users of the ROM and helpful in the thread here, but I have to head off to school soon so I'll have to do it later. I'm not even dressed yet, let alone taken a shower!

I'll see if I can do something special for the next FML build, which will probably be tomorrow as I'll have the day off.

I must admit, I felt a little weird asking for your guys' help, but I had tried everything I could think of to get the money I needed and was just out of options. Gahhh, I'm starting to cry...

Every donation really added up. If I didn't have people that donated even just a few dollars I'd need quite a bit more. Thank you all sooooo much!

I have considered that, but I just can't find a way to reliably measure speed of Android, so I'm going to stick with GCC for now. There's been lots of work in AOSP to fix things that don't build with Clang, so they might be taking a stab at compiling it with Clang. If I see that they're going to make a full jump to Clang, then I'll definitely use it, as they'd be the ones to know which of those two compilers would be best.

Good luck to you and your new phone, I'm still under contract with my Galaxy Nexus for another 7 or so months, and I won't be switching from it until there's another fully unlocked phone on Verizon anyway... let's hope getting Android 4.5/5.0/whatever running on it isn't much of an issue! Considering there's probably devices that are so old that their stock ROM is 2.2 and they have ROMs as high as 4.3 or maybe even 4.4, I can't imagine a phone that came with 4.0 won't be able to keep going for a few more Android versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
I haven't had a chance to make the donation yet, but I still want to make it as a thank you for keeping my phone out of a recycling bin. I never would have thought my Gnex would still be so usable today.

I'm sure everyone that's donated already, sees your passion for the ROM. You deserve every bit of help, even if it's just filling up your gas tank to get you to school the next day.

Just don't go and spend the donations on meth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Thank you!

Don't worry, I've never touched alcohol or drugs and don't plan on it. (Well, I can't say I won't have an occasional beer eventually, just not yet.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ulnevrwalkalone:
So i left my phone on my desk at work for awhile and go to check it and all the settings are back to stock as if i just flashed the rom... did not run any update or flash the rom (at least not on purpose) can anyone think of how this could have happened?

update: changed the wallpaper back to my picture from phone and all my icons widgets returned :eek:... :confused: ... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Maybe some jerk in your office decided to run a factory reset on your phone? That's all I can think of that'd cause something like that, that doesn't just happen on it's own. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
The sad truth is that stuff like that isn't uncommon.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Slight change of plans. Wednesday (or um... today, that is) won't be as free as I thought, I got a project I need to do for this "Living On Your Own" class. I'm supposed to design a small apartment with these guidelines e.x. function over style etc... usually with any sort of artsy thing like that I end up taking too long as I'm so picky and detailed. After half an hour of trying to come up with a way to do the project so that I felt it looked good but didn't take forever, I remembered: The Sims! So I'll be pulling out The Sims 3 and using it to design. Much less time than trying to use a 3D modeler or something like that, and much better looking than the usual 2D boxy boring thing drawn on a piece of paper!

So now instead of being overly ambitious with a build tomorrow, I'll just have to get a sync up with Omni's latest changes and a couple small bugfixes in there at best. All the big ideas I got spinning around in my head for FML are probably best tried on a weekend instead anyway, as usually it results in requiring multiple builds until I get it all right.

"My software doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features!" :P

Around here I think that'd only happen if you really tick somebody off...

Kind of a long story, so I'll just shorten it up:

A friend who had moved away was back in town for the summer and needed some help on a math class he was making up. It was quite a bit of work, and I made sure that I didn't do anything for him, just explained it so that he could understand it and get through it quicker. He had said he'd pay me $20 for helping him out, and as he was a friend I thought it'd be fine. Shortly after we had finished up everything, he moved away again (I'm talking out to IDAHO, not just a few cities away) and didn't pay me.

A few weeks after that, this showed up: http://bgr.com/2013/08/29/iphone-vulnerability-coretext-webkit/

I decided to text him one of the strings that caused Messaging to crash (yeah, he had an iPhone -.-). On Facebook I saw him asking for help about it and he ended up having to reset his phone and didn't have a backup of any kind, and he had to ask people to text him their name and number to add them back to his contacts list (I didn't text him my name/number though). To this day he still doesn't know it was me who did that. I had just noticed iOS 7 was being released within a few hours of when I sent the text, so I thought he'd just be without texting for a few hours and then update his phone, not have to reset the whole thing... kinda felt bad that's how it turned out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ulnevrwalkalone:
Its possible but I doubt it since all the icons/widgets came back. Which launcher is the default for FML? I have launcher3 and googlenow, I wonder if the launcher changed with an update and that reset the desktop interface?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Recently similar happened to me!

(Different ROM though)

My device had a random reboot though that I saw(maybe happened while u were away) but when it came back on, all my system settings were back to stock settings. And on top of that all of my PAID APPS(anything in /data/app-asec) were GONE. Even though the files were still IN /data/app-asec(which caused me to have to delete those files in order to install without error again from Play).

And any system app(gapps) settings and accounts had been wiped. My gmail account was still saved/on device, but wasn't SET for any Google app(every Google app I opened afterwards I had to choose my account again)

Was never able to figure out WHY this happened though. (Different ROM, but similar experience is only why I mention this)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
My guess would be that Google Now Launcher was updated and while that happened you opened up the home screen which made the phone think Launcher3 was the only installed launcher, other than that I have no idea really.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
And of course I got caught up with homework and passed out pretty late last night without getting a new build out. I think I fell asleep before midnight for like... the first time this year.

May I also point out that not only is it double the RAM and double the CPU cores, it's probably triple or even quadruple the RAM speed and CPU speed too, so all things considered the Galaxy Nexus reeeeally is a beast for its age.

Scary night last night for me! Was driving home from my dad's after doing an oil change and tire rotation, and my car died on me. It was as if I'd just stopped it and turned it off if you get what I mean. Tried to start it back up a few times and it cranked but didn't start. Got the dealer it was bought from and that does most of the bigger mechanical work to give it a tow to their shop. I was expecting the worst... fuel pump, oil pump, etc. Call them this morning and they said it fired right up. They're gonna see what they can find of course so it doesn't do this again, but disaster avoided!

It's a 2000 Dodge Intrepid ES with a little over 120,000 on the odometer. It was my mom's before I bought it from her. It's got all the options... leather seats, power driver and passenger seat, 60/40 folding rear seats, Infinity audio, auto-dimming rear view mirror, rear spoiler, sunroof, 3.2L V6 engine, overhead console thingy (tracks current MPG, average MPG, distance til empty fuel tank, 3 programmable garage door openers, temperature and compass...), "automatic temperature control" (it's like a thermostat in your house where you set a temperature and it does what it has to for it!), fog lights, EDIT: "AutoStick" too, lets ME do the shifting if i want (minus the clutch), I can go up another gear in the city (compared to if it's in "D"rive) to drop the RPMs and get better MPG or take off from a stop in 2nd gear in the winter so I don't spin the tires or shift down a gear when I need to kick it without having to wait on the car to figure out I need that if I floor it in plain ol' "D"rive! [/EDIT]

You can see why I want to take good care of it! There's people with 350,000 miles on these engines!!! Right now it's just at that point where it's gonna need some TLC, but the core part of the engine will just keep going so long as I don't beat the crap out of it and keep on top of the basics like oil and coolant etc. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopstix9:
I know you like that car but it's a 2000 with 120k+ miles on it. The suspension, cv joints and everything else are getting old too. I'd think long and hard before I dumped the $$ into a motor for it ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
About the car, it's worth your investment in the long term to get something newer at this point. Is like buying a second hand BMW, only to find out you have electrical problems in 2 weeks. Save the headache and think about changing cars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I get that it might make more sense to get a different car, but have you seen what the prices are on used cars these days? If I can get the engine rebuilt for about $1500 or even $2000, and then even overhaul the suspension (yes, I already considered what stuff would still need work soon on this car!), it could still be $1500 to $2500 cheaper than getting another car. I haven't been able to find much if anything about this transmission (42LE if I'm not mistaken) needing a rebuild if the fluid changes are kept up with (which they have so far)...

In a way it's like this: at best I'd be getting a different car with 80,000 miles on it. It's probably going to have similar or worse problems at 120,000. If I spend that same money on replacing this Intrepid's engine and doing the suspension and a few other bits and pieces, it'd nearly be a new car that could go another 100,000 miles.

But hey, I don't even have an estimate on this yet, I'll need to get that before I make any decisions.

Don't trust the dealer! I'll write more when I get a chance, but a "knock" is not going to cause the car to shut down & not start up

Sent from a flashead cracker.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

OK. First, your car shutting down but still cranking tells me that it's probably a fuel issue (e.g., fuel pump) not electrical. I'm not saying that there isn't a knock, but it probably has been there for a time already and is less dire than the dealer is making it seem. Knocks tend to originate from pushrods being overextended which could be a camshaft issue, but typically they're due to a major mechanical problem. That's not going to cause your car to shut down all of a sudden and then start up just fine the next morning. If mechanical issues cause your car to shut down, it usually won't start back up, and you'll find chunks of metallic stuff and oil underneath.

There are obviously no absolutes, but trusting a dealer is the old scorpion and the fox yarn. I would check the fuel system first. Maybe try an injector cleaner (some say additives are bad), but PLEASE don't do anything drastic....yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
We know all the mechanics there very well, one of them has been a family friend for over 20 years now. I bet if they drop the oil pan they'll find a bunch of metal shavings there, even if it isn't exactly what caused this issue right now it's just a ticking time bomb as it is. It's a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer, they certainly have a lot of experience with these engines and the LH platform as a whole (in fact the family friend also owned an Intrepid similar to mine at one point, not sure if he still does).

The car shutting down all of a sudden could be the camshaft or crankshaft sensor shutting it down to prevent further damage, so yes this could certainly cause it to shut off with all these sensors in cars nowadays.

A few days before this the car had the oil pressure light come up while stopped at a stop light, it flickered on just for a brief moment and then the engine went up to about 1000 in RPMs, I figured it was just because it was idling a tad too low (it dipped juuuust below 500RPM when it happened, I have read that these engines idle at 540 so I didn't think 500 was out of the ordinary and was within an acceptable range) and it was about time for an oil change so we were just gonna try that first thinking maybe the oil filter was gunked up and wasn't allowing enough flow. If the oil change didn't fix it we were gonna take it in, but the car decided to do that for us...

As for a fuel injector cleaner, that was done this winter, and usually that's not something you'd do every few months either!

Also, my guess on what I'd maybe be able to get in mileage on another used car was optimistic, it's looking more like 100,000 miles or so, and I could just end up in this same situation 20,000 miles later. I was able to know my car's history since about 40,000 miles, it was all synthetic oil changes etc. etc. taken care of very well, that's not something easy to do on a used car at 100,000 miles.

Hey there. So I'm a former auto tech (about 9 years working in various shops- independent, dealers, and even performance shops). Often problems of this type are followed by more problems not too much later- then you get caught in the trap of feeling like you can't stop spending money because you've already put so much into it. Obviously- you should do what makes you comfortable- but don't let the sentimental factor cloud your better judgment. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Oh no, I'm not offended! I'd usually be saying exactly what you are about not trusting the dealer, so many of them are just trying to screw people over.

That's the thing I worry about though, it can hard to be sure that it's been maintained properly at that point.

I get that sinking money into this might be a never ending thing. I am talking with other Intrepid owners online about what things have come up for them at around this point of their car's life and am trying to add it all up and see if it would be worth it.

I know that the sentimental value of the car to me is definitely playing a big role in what I'm thinking, so I'm trying to get some more educated and unbiased opinions on it. My uncle is a mechanic, and he's really big on Mopar stuff (Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep), so I'm gonna give him a call soon and talk with him about it. He isn't one to sugar coat things, he'll just tell it to me like it is.

At least there's some good news this week for me to hear! I'll try and free up some time soon to talk with ya, I appreciate you reaching out to me about this, I think you're a pretty awesome dev so it's a huge honor to me!

That seems pretty reasonable. My mom actually used the money I paid for her Intrepid to get a Toyota RAV4, it could be nice to have two of the same brand of car haha.
