[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
It is impossible to enable an IRQ from userspace, that can only be done by a kernel driver.

The Irq (IRQ_TOUCH_INT) is only needed to detect an input on these touchkeys.

So i was right, that this dont be needed to control the leds.

But these lines are needed therefore:

gpio_direction_output(_3_GPIO_TOUCH_EN, 1);
gpio_direction_output(_3_GPIO_TOUCH_CE, 1);

These GPIOs are necessarily to be set (probably only one of them, i didn't check that).

But it is not possible to export them into sysfs. Samsung has protect these GPIOs.

May be i've missed something, i'm not so familiar with gpio handling via sysfs.

If i am do that:

echo 199>/sys/class/gpio/export

nothing happens.

In summary, that means the cypress_touchkey.c need to be modified.

And atm I'm doing that. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I have done the driver modification.

The modification is

ONLY

for firmwares with Android 2.1 (eclair)!

You need to flash an new kernel image with odin.

Select the appropriate PIT-file for your firmware version and

select the Kernel_i9000_notificationLED_neldar_v1.tar as PDA.

DO NOT select Re-Partition or anything else!!!

After you have flashed this kernel image you are able to turn the leds on and off while the touchkeys are disabled. If the touchkeys are enabled you probably dont want do get the leds enabled/disabled.

Led notification for SMS/calls/whatever does not work without an application at the moment, i will publish that later

.

Perhaps i will also publish a new kernel image, with real led notification support.

Atm, this kernel image is only for testing purposes!

You

dont

need to be root for this:

To enable leds:

echo 1 >/sys/devices/virtual/misc/melfas_touchkey/notification_led_control

To disable leds:

echo 2 >/sys/devices/virtual/misc/melfas_touchkey/notification_led_control

Download (only for testing):

(edit: removed download link, this does not work!)

Also with ext3, ext4 and tun support. (For mimocan fix and OpenVPN/get-a-robot-vpnc)

Issues:

does only work with an usb cable plugged in (reason: suspend/hibernation) => not usefull in everyday life

kernel is outdated in comparison to samsung offical firmwares and testing firmwares

I have attached complete source code and patch of cypress_touchkey.c to this post.

Download it to use it in your custom rom. ;)

Wow, great job mate :D Thank you for your progress!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lilHermit:
you shouldn't need an application, all you will need to do is modify the lights.so library, the source is available in aosp. simply point it at the correct device file.

You have done the hardwork.

~
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Well i have the aosp for the eclair release and the only liblights i could find is for msm. And just hypothetically if this is the right file, how can i replace it in the samsung firmware? isn't it linked in libhardware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lilHermit:
no the libraries are dynamic and stored in /system/lib. there is no reason why you cant adapt mahimahi.lights.so which is in aosp.

Any progress dev's ?

I would like to thank you guys in advance ;)

If there was progress, it would be posted. Posting, asking for progress reports isn't going to make it come any faster. Patience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I have now a working lights.default.so.

This means the backlights turn on if there is a notification.

BUT only if an usb cable is plugged in.

Without a cable android suspends the phone and also some device,

(that i dont know atm) that is connected to the touchkey controller.

And that means no cable no notification (atm).

And there is no animation of the light, simply on/off.

Flashing would need the cpu and that would drain battery much faster.

And it is not possible to turn the backlights separated of each other on/off.

That feature would need to flash a new firmware to the touchkey controller.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riwarren:
Whats the problem with flashing new firmware? if it gets it done right it, gets it done. no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Do it. Submit it to the CM6 developers also to include in their ROM. That would be AWESOME.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hacksome:
I was thinking about the same idea.

- Signed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Thats very difficult to accomplish. It would need a lot of reverse engineering to get this firmware, to understand what it does and to flash it back to the controller.

Thats not a simple task like an odin flash to the phone.

If anybody want to do that, do it. I dont have the time for that (and it will take a lot of time, for sure).

And at the moment my solution with the custom kernel and my liblights is not ready to publish it .

Consider already published code only as proof of concept.

I have to revise the driver modification and probably have to modify more drivers to get this fully working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Good work! I hope this mod sees fruition someday :) or even better.. samsung integrate this feature into their official FW (god knows why they didn't think to).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
That would be the easiest way. :)

In the mean time i have improved my patch.

I've implemented a wakelock in the driver to avoid, that the touchkey/backlight controller will be disabled while suspend.

BUT this means that a full/deep suspend is suppressed and that means enabling the notification leds will drain the battery a lot faster. Only screen and touch input is disabled. This should not be the final solution, but atm the only one i know. If you have an idea for a better solution, please let me know. :)

The second version of my patch, along with a lights.default.so, is attached to this post.

This patch is only meant to be used by people who are able to build their own testing kernel!

Please do not publish a kernel image with this patch included, it is not final. Only for testing purposes.

Copy the lights.default.so into /system/lib/hw/, backup the old one before!

You should then be able to activate notification leds through apps. (I used the app "Calendar Notifier" to manually activate a notification.)

So there are two things to do:

get rid of this nasty wakelock in the driver

activate notifications in the apps:

call: dont know

sms: notification by default

calendar: see Calendar notifier

Can we make the back button for calls and the menu for messages?

Or are they bound together?

[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
Soon after I got my Evo I made a video recording on my way into my apartment. One of my neighbors cats was being very frisky in the window, it cracked me up so I made a recording. I think it may have been my first video recording.

I had it set to 640x480, mpeg4. This video is 29~30FPS and is as smooth as can be. There is lots of motion in the video and no flicker or choppiness whatsoever. After watching this video I was very pleased with the video performance.

I have not been able to make another video that comes in at much higher than ~10fps since then.

I did install Fresh 0.2. I've been figuring it must be a bug in that, but I've tried since tried Bugless Beast, Superersonic, rolled back to stock and God knows how many other roms trying to get this smooth video back. I can't get decent fps at ANY resolution.

I don't even particularly care for video functionality, but after seeing that this phone CAN do very impressively smooth video I was eager to use it for that. Needless to say I can't figure out how I did it or what I did to alter the performance.

What gives?

I'm running Fresh 0.3, made a 10 minute 720P video of my dogs and it was able to capture at 24fps. My videos have been very good no matter which ROM I'm using.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Lighting can make a HUGE difference. In low light the Nexus (and probably Evo & other HTC Android's) have their lowest framerate set at 8fps in the kernel. Try shooting another video in the same location & conditions and see if you get similar speeds.
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
This probably explains my 12 fps as it was an indoor movie.

Thanks for the info. :)

Yea. The same thing is happening to me. The old videos and all the old pictures i had installed as well would show up in the gallery with the little error image, until they just stopped showing up all together.

It happened after either slideroot2 or the newest slide radio update. I have been assuming its just a memory card issue caused by my computers media sync software being disconnected or something.

Are you rooted? on what?

fyi, getting root access and flashing the phone are major processes that can be described as simply "hacking" the phone. The procedure for hacking the xperia x10 and x10 mini hasn't been created yet. The forum has a handful of people working on hacking the phone. Unfortunately, the forum also has hundreds of people whining and nagging those few people to finish up.

I dropped my HD2 and the screen broke so rather than having a go at fixing it myself I sent it to undercutter.co.uk. This was a big mistake. Although their site states a 7-day repair and return, it took a whole month because they "ran out of parts". When calling them you will have to try for days to get though and they ignore email webform contact too.

So I finally get my HD2 back and the screen repair is far from perfect. There is glue on the speaker, covering the left LED and my call and home buttons don't click anymore. I'm pretty sure that the amount of glue that they've stuck around the screen will make it un-repairable if I ever drop it again.

Last but not least, my beautiful HD2 now has a disgusting T-mobile logo at the top - I can never look at her the same way again.

Moral of the story - get a good case for your HD2 and never take it out of the case.
