Did you actually find the driver source for the chip in the code drop from Samsung? If so, where is it?

Thanks,

According to this post here, it seems as though they fixed a hacked kernel's GPS and audio problems using some files from a vibrant ROM. I know that compiling a stock kernel from source causes similar issues, could applying these files fix them?
[Captivate Android Development] schmedigans:
nope. I haven't downloaded the source yet. I thought it was found :rolleyes:

I was just going to start reading up on the IC, then poke around in the source to make sure it was being set up properly.

I thought I saw a post stating that all the driver source was just released. Oh well.

edit: downloading it now. I'll update again if I find anything.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ok - I didn't find it, and so I'm also downloading the Vibrant source to see if I find it there.
[Captivate Android Development] NukaCola:
There is no gps issue with the i897 sources as released from samsung. Just the audio and the lag problem. Audio problem is fixed by using the A1026 (and related) files from the Vibrant source tree.
[Captivate Android Development] hallfleming:
Where did you find the driver source?
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
Please see the Original Post!
[Captivate Android Development] hallfleming:
Thanks for updating!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Are you sure there is no gps issue with the latest i897 sources - I'd be surprised if this is the case because too many people are waiting for this fix and someone would have built a new rom with these fixes if there was a real fix. Or did you mean that there is no driver source for the GPS - that I can believe, I haven't found it . . .
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
There are two different GPS issues and I think you are not aware of both of them. The first well documented GPS issue is the flaky and incosistent satellite lock that all Galaxy S varients currently suffer from. That issue is unresolved and unchanged whether you are running the precompiled Captivate kernel that was already on the phone or a kernel based on the source that Samsung has released. Nothing has changed on that issue.

There is a second and totally unrelated GPS issue that occurs on the Captivate when people have flashed in a Vibrant kernel to see if it fixed audio or lag issues. When a Vibrant kernel is flashed on a Captivate, any applications that access the GPS crash. This issue does not exist when you use a Captivate kernel, and is therefore considered resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ah - I didn't know about the second issue since I never flashed a Vibrant kernel on my device.

Thanks,

Missing Driver Source

I'm working on putting together a full build of the source with all fixes and using the link in the OP it seems I am missing driver source for the pvrsrvkm, s3cbc, and s3clcd modules.

Am I downloading the wrong thing? Can someone go into kernel/modules/pvrsrvkm and see if they have anything other than a makefile and an object file?

Thanks,

Josh
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
Download the file from the Samsung opensource site, the others haven't been updated to include the additional source.

The additional files should be in the 3d_module_GPL.tar.gz archive. After extracting, look in the Services4/3rd Party folder for the s3* source. I think the pvr* is one level up in the Services4 folder.
[Captivate Android Development] jhulst:
Thanks, didn't even think to look in a separate tar file...
[Captivate Android Development] TimF:
Update OP with info on how to fix the wakeup lag issue.

Yeah, he built his kernel using the alt toolchain from the link I added to my original post.

I find it a lot easier and quicker than doing adb because I'm such a fail at adb commands.

[General Questions and Answers] faceqt:
I'm new to Android, converted from Crapple. So please, bear with me.

I've successfully rooted my HTC Desire with rEVOked, so it said and the special permissions is there.

I tried partitioning with ROM Manager and it just breaks my Recovery mode, and I have to re-boot, reflash the old Recovery through Rom Manager and it's an endless loop.

I've been TRYING to get GParted to work on my PC(W7) and I can't for the life of me, I've tried mounting the image through Daemon Tools, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be executing.

Basically;

I want to partition my SD Card so I can flash it with LeeDroids ROM, but I can't partition.

Any ideas?

ps: I've tried searching all over the net/xdk forums and I can't find anything that worked for me. :[

Hi All,

I'm looking for a HTC EVO 4G-like keyboard app of skin. What's so special about this keyboard?.... well it has "arrows".

I'm currently using a Android on a HD2, and like the EVO 4G a HD2 doesn't have a optical trackpad of trackball.

It would be great if there was a skin of app that could solve this issue.

[Desire General] Zaphodski:
How do I stop this?
[Desire General] joe_998:
I had this before I rooted, never did find out what was causing it. It started about a week after I got my Desire for no reason!
[Desire General] snudel:
i use app called: silent boot
[Desire General] Zaphodski:
The thing is that it has started doing this all by itself and it is incredibly noisy when switching off very late at night with no background noise . The other Desire acquired at the same time is still quiet on boot and power down. Is there a setting somewhere that I can change?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Have you tried putting your phone on silent (long press on power) before powering down?
[Desire General] Zaphodski:
No, however I'll give it a try. This would have to be done everytime though?

Just to be clear, is everyone else's phone quiet (by default) on power down or beeps like mine now does?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Yes that would have to be done every single time, so not the best of the solutions, if it works at all.

I know that there are some mods which remove the boot sound, for example several roms of modaco which don't have a boot up sound. But never heard of any phone making a sound on shut down. Mine, unrooted stock firmware, just makes a sound when booting up, when the quitly brilliant logo comes. (although this should be gone when i put my phone on silent before shutting down, never actually tried it)
[Android Software Development] DatacomGuy:
After reading a few different articles on malicious apps in the market, it occured to me.

What about a developer (wish I could do it :( ) creating an app that operates similar to Little Snitch. For those that don't use a Mac, it's essentially a software firewall. You can set rules and permissions, and it informs you when an app is trying to go out.

http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html

It's a fantastic program on the mac. So what about something similar for the Android? Lets hear your thoughts. Wish I had the ability to code, but just don't know development at all.. but if there are any on here that want to partner up, hit me up!
[Android Software Development] ajige:
What about Droid Wall?

I use that to limit which apps have access to the internet.
[Android Software Development] DatacomGuy:

[Android Software Development] mxlab:
Droid wall lacks real time access to top dump log. So it's not that intuitive as Little Snitch.

[Android Software Development] kyedmipy:
I'd imagine you'd want to ask the little snitch people or start learning to code in Java or something. But really good idea. I love Little Snitch. It's a bit annoying sometimes but I'd rather shoulder the burden of inconvenience then to be willfully blind about the MASSIVE amount of data being leached by every other app service and process on my system.

It would be bad ass to be able to deny apps to sending special data OTA.

As you know, we have two different email program in stock rom. "Mail" and "Gmail".

You have to be a google account for to use market and other stuffs. If you add a gmail account to your device your mails checking by "Gmail". You cannot add any POP3 account to Gmail. You should use for stock "Mail" Program for this.

It's look like to for every account we need a different mail program. It's boring and stupid idea. Yes we can add gmail acc. to stock Mail program but this solution is not good, either. Because we are using same account with different programs.

There is a mail program called K-9, we can install this and transfer all account the this program but basic problem is continuing: We must continue to use for "Gmail". We cannot remove gmail acc from this program and to use mail we need 3 different programs :(

I find this really unlogic.

P.S. I'm sorry for my poor English.
[Desire General] kien:
Don't see the issue myself, Gmail is just that, an app for gmail, if you don't want to use gmail then don't sync gmail. I use Gmail, and Mail for a hotmail and an Exchange account. You can use Mail for gmail but you won't have the full functionality of gmail.
[Desire General] snudel:
i use k-9 since it supports push for imap

not using gmail at all. neither for desire nor at all.
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Hello Yappay,

You seem a little confused. There are two main ways to access E-Mail on Android:

1. A dedicated app for a certain E-mail provider. The Gmail app on your phone is such a dedicated app, and offers decent background syncing because it's tightly integrated with the system and is configured to poll and receive push notifications for new mail in a way that's very efficient. The problem here is that these dedicated apps can only connect to their respective e-mail services: The Gmail app can only connect to Gmail, the Yahoo!Mail app can only connect to Yahoo, and so on.

2. A generic E-mail app that can connect to various E-mail providers through interfaces like IMAP or POP. The app "E-Mail" on your phone is one of these, as is K9-Mail or Maildroid. It's possible to add multiple accounts to these, including Gmail accounts, because Gmail supports both POP and IMAP.

If you really want to use only one app for all your E-mail, you can add all of your accounts to one of the programs from the second category. I'd recommend IMAP for the connection, because it keeps the server up-to-date with any changes you make to e-mails in the program (moving them to different folders, deleting e-mails etc.).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attaturk87:
Hello!

I'm writing to you all as a recent user of my new htc desire which I

orderd from germany on Handyattacke.de and using it in Sweden, Gothenburg.

Handyattacke said it was a sim unlocked mobile with T-mobile software branding.

Now to the problem.

When I yesterday started to use the phone i quickly realized that the phone refuses to accept my Swedish opperators APN details... I've tried with diffrent simcards with same results.

I've even spoken with a nice lady on HTC customers support, who haven't been able to help and checked that my swedish operators (which I'm also working for) are correct.

What the hells should I do.

I want to be able to use my mobile data surf.

A friend of mine spoke about rooting the phone. Would that change and coulod the rooting chnage the software into swedish firmware.

Would appriciate all the help I could get.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
When you say that it "refuses" to accept your operators APN details what do you mean?

I'm assuming you are entering them manually into Menu->Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names? Once you've entered them, are you pressing menu and then Save?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attaturk87:
That's correct mate and on order from the bird at Htc support center.

However. When I save and try to connect it says that the connection fail...

I'm so botherd and handyattacke.de even reply my questions.

Is there any thing I can do.

Can I root to a swedish firmware and should I say, deleate the T-mobile software branding or does the problem occur from some other reason?

Flash support is alright though.
