Hi 0tt0m@n,

thanks for your reply!

I'll try to contact codeworkx, though it seems he had not only left CM team but XDA-devs as well.

Anyway, i know that there are many parts of code involved to make the MHL interface work, so the main part for me is to know about the missing link.

I guess i'll try to get a better understanding about the kernel side the next days, as there are:

- do we have all parts to map the virtual I2C port for SII9244

- does the initialization of the SII9244 look complete

- what's the state of the HPD GPIO

Next would be of course, to understand how the interaction of framebuffer mapping takes place.

There's the GPU MALI stuff which uses parts of RAM and some framebuffer as well :p

The internal HDMI logic of Exynos needs some mapping of course to get access to this memory.

This could be the most complex part and maybe this information is missing or done by proprietary stuff...

Let's see if we could get more detailed information about it in the next weeks.

So please help out with useful comments :o

Best regards,

scholbert

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] scholbert:
Hi there,

again thanks for the reply so far.

I did some further research on this issue on my own....

- Yes, there are proprietary files which handle HDMI (TVOUT) in stock ROMs

- Yes, these libs and services do not seem to match the AOSP implementation

After some investigation on the proprietary files and searching for some ASCII snippets in the binaries, it seems that at least some parts, or better call it functionality, is covered in the HAL present in the AOSP source tree, which had been released for the SMDK4412.

My guessing is that the "framework" is little different in these sources and some of the libraries of the AOSP version have other names, if we manage to compile them.

I still wonder, if someone did ever try to set all necessary compile flags for HDMI and give it a try with the settings i posted in my first thread. So i guess i'll have to do it...

Maybe it's all nonsense and the sources of Exynos HAL which are used by the AOSP ROMs are completely unusable, if it comes to HDMI implementation.

On the other hand there's Hardkernel's odroid platform which has a working HDMI port.

So what's the secret here?

Cheers,

scholbert

Hi DerTeufel1980,

thanks for pointing to this patchset... i've already seen some other related patches some days ago.

Looks promising and hopefully this time these hacks will be successful!

Though i'm not sure about the management of the i2c ports at kernel level or maybe i just don't understand its mapping.

While it is correct that the MHL PHY is connected to the physical interface i2c-5 (the pins), it seems that the kernel uses some virtualisation based on the devices address connected to this port...

AFAIK Exynos 4412 got five physical I2C ports, which are used by a variety of physical devices (the real chips).

Each physical device should have a unique i2c address to get addressed by the CPU.

In the end we got multiple chips with different addresses connected to the physical ports which are presented as virtual device starting from i2c-0 up to i2c-21.

So if i interpret the sources correctly, the device id for DDC function should be i2c-15 at userland, or better spoken: Android world.

But as already stated maybe i'm wrong here...

Time will show :o

Thanks for contributing!!

EDIT:

Just contacted one of the hard working developers at Nameless ROM and he pointed me to another more frustrating issue, which is the missing source code for HWC.

See this information (which is quite old, but you need to find it :p ) which covers the Exynos CPU's in general:

https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDodd/posts/DHg5z62CHHu

So this snippet says it all:

EDIT2:

Some more tech talk to understand the flaw:

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] scholbert:
Hey there... it's me again :o

I thought about missing source code and how all stuff get's arranged in the variety of ROM's.

Especially MALI, HWC and proprietary stuff...

Quite irritating though because i'm no hardcore software developer :angel:

Anyway found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55809089&postcount=1508

In other words, there is some HWC source code for exynos4.

Why was it dropped then and latest release of Nameless Lollipop ROM stepped back to the older MALI release?

This led to a more proprietary codebase.

I read about r4p0 would not be the best choice for mobile device or is there another reason :confused:

Please leave a comment, if you know more about it.

Would be nice to have some open discussion here anyway...

Have fun!

scholbert
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] KNIGHT97:
The problem came with r4p0 when the proprietary HWC blob was made working with the kernel rebase from fni1 source drop of n7100. The amount of glitches occurring were too high, and the r4p0 drivers used in the device were blobs. There aren't any display related open source Hals for exynos to have a reference from and fix the graphics part having glitches.

As is already notable with chrome, GPU rasterization is broken and had even more issues with newer blobs, which actually even I'm not sure of why so. R3p2 drivers we use actually are based on a newer api as compared to r4p0 and as a result, the blobs are more updated than the r4p0 taken from the Odroid board.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabuser:
Please post a video comparison of a 2013 Nexus 7 and the Nexus 9, preferably with both running Lollipop.

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 that has served me very well these last 2 + years. But it is now time for me to look for a replacement tablet.

I'm still having trouble with the Nexus 9 (32 gig) price of $ 479 with all the marginal reviews thus far.

I do like the N9's larger screen, but a good portion of my tablet use is watching movies and TV shows, so I'm not a fan of its 4:3 screen ratio.

If there is not a significant showing of superior performance of the N9 over the N7 (32 gig), I would prefer not to spend an extra $250 or more for a tablet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thepar:
I kind of have a troublesome story. I bought a phone on ebay and activated with freedom pop an MVNO of sprint. I cancel the service after the gigabyte was used. I then tried to activate with sprint and was unable to do so. They said the ESN was in use and could not be activated. I called freedom pop and completely deleted me from the databases and removed my account. I am still having trouble activating the phone. Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
What is the actual message or error it gives you when trying to activate? Have you tried dialing ##72786# to do a carrier reset?

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] electric bill:
I'm having the same problem. I Bought a used Sprint S3 and activated it on freedompop. I deactivated the freedompop account. When I check the ESN / IMEI on swappa.com it shows :

Activation Status Clear (Sprint / MVNO)

Device appears to be activation ready.

However Sprint will not activate it. Their system gives an error. I don't know what the specific error is. I put the ESN into Ting.com and it said that it would activate. Interestingly, I bought another used Sprint S3 and did not active it on freedompop. It did activate on Sprint without any problems.

This is the second phone that I've tried this with. The first is a Samsung Victory 4G LTE that I had purchased from freedompop a few months ago. I found the stock Sprint ROM and reflashed it. Took it into the Sprint store and they couldn't activate it. I've reset the phone and done the carrier reset. No joy.

It's starting to look like once a phone gets registered with freedompop, it can't go back to Sprint. Which is sad, because I think a lot of people who try freedompop are going to want to find another service because freedompop is just not reliable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thepar:
I tried the same thing. Checked ESN on swappa and ting ESN was clear and ready to activate. I have heard multiple answers.

1. You need a cool down period after freedom pop

2. You can not activate on sprint after flashing to an MVNO

Sprint would also not add the ESN back into there system. I guess it is time to sell phone on ebay as a freedom pop phone. Can phone still be activated on ting or just freedom pop?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] electric bill:
I read a thread on Sprint's forums about someone who tried this and succeeded. I pm'd him and he said that he had to open a service ticket with support. Eventually, he found the right person who knew how to add the MEID to the database. It seems when you activate with an MVNO, the MEID gets moved to a different database. And only a few people know how to move it back.

I did check the MEID with ting and it said it would activate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TdiGuy:
Personally if you use WIFI a lot and dont use a lot of mobile data i would suggest ting.

They also have tools on their web site to help figure out how much you can expect to pay moving to them. I have had ting for about 6 months now ( after walmart family mobile) and I save money and have better coverage. I have had great experiences with customer service.

If you are inteterested in joining ting send me a PM and i can shoot you a referral and we can both save some money.

Freedompop = bad

I'm still trying to get this phone back to Sprint, but I'm getting worn down. Their tech support is non existent. If the problem can't be corrected by a factory reset, they're lost. Not one of the people that I've talked to so far even knows what freedompop is. I can completely understand why sprint is losing two million dollars a day and their stock is in free fall.

It's so easy for freedompop to move a phone from sprint to MVNO, but it's looking next to impossible to move it back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thepar:
I called sprint customer care. They told me to call a sprint repair store to fix my problem. I called a corporate repair store and said it could not be moved back to sprint. I don't see why it is so difficult. Seems like any easy database move.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] electric bill:
As I understand it from reading posts on Sprint's forums, the hard part is finding one of the few people at sprint who know how to add the MEID to the database. The people at the stores are not useful beyond doing a factory reset or replacing a battery.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MHzBurglar:
I just upgraded my Nexus 5 using the Lollipop factory image, and while I love the new OS overall, I despise the new calendar app. The removal of a monthly view that shows appointments is such a glaring flaw that I would like to remove it from my phone completely.

My question is: Is there any way to install the KitKat version of Calendar, possibly by flashing an older GApps package, without replacing the rest of the GApps? And is this possible to do so with the stock ROM? I'm not interested in throwing a custom ROM on just yet, as I'm still exploring the stock one, but not having a useful calendar is making it difficult to keep track of my day.

My goal is to: 1) replace the Lollipop calendar with the stock KitKat one while leaving the other GApps on their Lollipop versions and 2) updating the calendar app to the latest pre-redesign version via an apk sideload (I have the apk.)

Is this possible?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I doubt it will work but you can modify a gapps package by deleting everything else and test it. You'll want to nandroid backup though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
I'm not positive what the stock calendar is in kitkat but IIRC I downloaded the old version of calendar from the play store - at the time some guy (Thomas something?) was hosting it, essentially rebuilt from the old apk. Might be worth a look.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setiawanjimmy:
But it does for me. It shows months and appointments.. Or maybe i just dont understand what he means.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MHzBurglar:
The difference is that it the month view used to be a static view, as opposed to a fly out menu. It also used to show coloured boxes inside of the day boxes to represent appointments. Now, the month view is no longer an actual view and it doesn't show appointments at all. Clicking a day from the month menu takes you to the cluttered schedule view, which I find to be too busy and more difficult to read.

The thing that sucks is that the month view that I want is still available on tablets. They just cut it from phones.

They pushed an update today that makes the "5 day" week view more tolerable. Hopefully they bring back the full month view too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeTheMusician:
I'll be watching to see if anyone is successful in this. I do have the monthly view on my Nexus 7, but the aspect that annoys me the most right off the bat is the new layout with the gratuitous graphics at the top of the screen which waste valuable screen real estate without any function. I have to scroll around more than before. Honestly I preferred the old email app to the new Gmail app.

If I can't revert to older apps then I may just roll back the tablet to Kitkat entirely, which seemed to be snappier on the Nexus 7 than Lollipop anyway.

It provides a Motorola Gallery .apk which brings the standard KK Gallery Icon BUT also has Material Design and basic functions like the KK Gallery. And it shows up in the recent apps tab :)

You may need to move the apk to system/apps to get it working, didn't work for me though, ES File Explorer still seems to have problems with Root rights (moving the apk didn't work), another Root Explorer could move the apk..

In the linked thread you can find a flashable zip (which you have to install via Custom Recovery). This method worked fine and now I have the old gallery simplicity with Material looks :)
