[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] daniel_hk:
In my region, I can only access Youtube and Google services via VPN. Someone had set up a server for me to download the source. It is quite slow but working. I don't think I have the luxury and time to browse those...

Anyway, media codec seems not working yet. I think Omni team is working on it, I just don't want to repeat. I will take a look when official (or any other unofficial) is out.

1. I'm not a gamer nor an active Youtuber. Can't help much. Let the experts discuss and share.

2. I had tested adopted mode with no problem. Yes, it is a bit lagging and might took a retry in reformatting. After that, there will be two partitions, one small and the rest would be internal.

M use a new approach to handle Sdcards. Our good old way of file browsing (eg. with ES) need to evolve. There is a link in post#2 which is the "detail" provided by Google... It might take some time to digest.

1. See the above for video playback

2. I don't have problem in downloading with the included browser. Details please, to int. sd or ext. sd? which link? etc. It might be site related.

3. As before, I don't think I'm in the position to test third party apks.

4. What you described seems that it go to sleep and wake lock issue. MX might need an update for M.

5. This is another common question I don't want to answer. I'm not comfortable to compare nor pointing out who's right or wrong. Not long ago, someone think I ignored the fixes in S2 and keep on pressing and posting. Our mind is a funny thing. No matter how many time and whatever I said. I just can't change what someone think. Only if people willing to open their eye to see the fact. One man's candy can be the other's poison.:D

Nowadays, everything is efficiency oriented. People tends to pick a few keywords and think they get it. Only few would really read. I don't know how many people would read this but it's my habit to explain as clear as possible. ;)

For charging, I think it apply to all devices...

There were a few things we believed working. I can tell you those few "tricks" are all included in the kernel either before or after for years. After studied the specifications (from chip manufacturer not Samsung) of the chips inside our tab carefully, I can tell you it is not what we thought.

a. The boot loader firmware has a set of value for the chip. Something like current limit.

b. No matter how high the current is applying, the main decision is inside the battery's circuitry. To avoid "explosion", it would allow only the right amount of current to charge the battery at a specific temperature.

If the device is ON, yes, the consumption of the OS would account for the time to fully charged. It depends on how many apks installed and running, environmental aspects like wifi signals, carrier signals, temperature, etc. It is just too argumentative to "feel".

If it is OFF, the difference should be neglected. The boot loader firmware has its own set of value. No matter what inside the tab's memory, even without a kernel or ROM, it can still charge the battery. The kernel binary (which I already mentioned has the same "tricks") is account for showing the charging images and sensing the buttons etc. Yes, there are differences on the only few services (adb, screens, etc.) but it is simply neglectable.

The main aspect would be the age of the battery which account for how long and how fast it is charging. Just do an experiment. Flash different ROMs and time the differences.

Yes, the radio daemon crash because the ril blob is tooooo old. It would retry indefinitely even if you are in flight mode. It would be definitely a drain. The good news is that I think I found a fix. I'm working on it now. It would be the ultimate solution which I believe we can survive a few more generations. :D

To all:

This is a completely new OS. Some apks are not working as expected. When the time come, apks might have updates. In this experimental build, some features are not working yet. This is not the daily driver if you are looking for.

Thanks for the support and enthusiasm but no matter how many wants and hopes are there. No matter how many people mentioned how times times, I simply don't have the resource and time to fulfil them all. I appreciate the detail reports on issues which I miss or overlook. I'm humble to those pointing me out. Although only few people would really read, I'm polishing the presentation of my posts. I "hope" people would know what I'm doing. :)
