koush is probably working on ClockworkMod for the epic. He already has a version out for the other GS phones that can be flashed with Rom manager. I'm sure we'll have a good recovery sooner than later.

We probably won't get a RA recovery, but instead get something more akin to the custom recovery SDX made for the Moment (forgive me, I can't remember the name/dev of that one).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xzhuang:
I have bought a Galaxy S from e2save (UK) a week ago and found that the 3 button combo is disable on that phone.

According to the date marked on the battery, the phone was produced at around 9th August.

Today I went to cpw to claim that GPS doesn't work properly on my phone. The guy firstly said this is a software problem and I insisted to exchange for a new one. Finally, he agreed to replace the phone for me. As a result, I got a new one with 3 button combo enable!!

According to the date marked on the battery, this phone was produced at around 17th August, 2010 and the IMEI number is much larger than my old phone. Delight!!

If you have the 3 button combo disable problem, you may want to have a try!

BTW: the version of the firmware of my new phone is the same as my old phone--JM1.

hi

I face two serious problems on my N1 which is running the latest CM stable version

Well i use my sdcard to install apps on.Today i install many themes and icon packs through market and those were not all installed.After that i could not access my sdcard and also couldnot unmount it.i tried to remove apps but on the screen i saw that was looping on calculating size of each app.is this my sdcard problem? or i am doing something wrong

Other problem is that on gallery i see fotos and videos stored everywhere on my sdcard.Is there a way to stop specific folders to appear on gallery?

can also anybody tell me where i see which radio image is installed on my phone?

is cm updating radio to latest version?

Regards
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aconner22:
To exclude certain directories from the gallery, put a .nomedia file in the directory you want to exclude.

I use Astro file manager to just copy an existing .nomedia file from a directory that already has one.

thanx m8 for the reply.i will try your suggestion as soon as i get a working phone :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
CM or any other custom ROM doesn't update radio.

When loaded, Settings / About / Baseband will show you the version.

Both of the problems you describe aren't CM bugs, or bugs at all, for that matter. Looks like your SD card got corrupted, if you're not able to read it correctly - get it out of the phone and work with SD card reader (save the data and format the card). I'd suggest changing the misleading thread title.

After successfully extracting the ramdisk for zImage, I would like to edit init.rc and repack my chnages back to zImage.

I have searched throughout the forums but didn't find it, only guys like me who were able to extract the ramdisk...

Can anyone help here?

Thanks,

Johny
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gshklover:
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot to it.

The ramdisk is compiled into the kernel object with some symbols/labels that point to the start and the end (subsequently giving the kernel a way to access the image).

It is more than just repacking that is required - you would also need to update the symbol tables/data where it points to the ramdisk - basically redo what linker / compiler have done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnyboo:
I'm inclined to do so. How can I find the info required to do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gshklover:
Look at ./arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S and ./init/initramfs.c in kernel sources.

There are two labels defined in the first and used in the second. The lds is a script that directs the linker when creating the vmlinux kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnyboo:
will look into it, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki4242:
There's a neat trick: make sure the initramfs archive is the exact same size as the original before you gzip and cat all the kernel pieces together again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] precurse:
Did that actually work for you?

I tried it. the only thing I changed in the kernel file was changing a single bit, ro.secure=1 to 0, and gzipped/catted it all back together again - and my phone wouldn't boot.

Looks like these guy have a way...

The search is on for an App that does LED notifications. I'll try and keep this thread updated as the search continues.

Wish List:

- no LED on while charging (so it can be used for notifications)

- Red Blink for missed call

- Blue Blink for new text

- Green blink for new email

Can't be hard. This was the most amazing thing ever for my Blackberry. There's a video on youtube, i'm not yet "allowed to post links" so here goes...

I've seen red and blue, but not a green led.
[Epic 4G Themes] truprettyboi:
When do u see the blue LED light?
[Epic 4G Themes] NeonMonster:
Colored trackball was single handedly my FAVORITE feature on my Blackberry, my Sidekick and my NexusOne.

You would think they would make the notification light a BIT easier to control.... But you had to root the Nexus One just to be able to control them.

If people are making apps to mimic notification LEDs for the other Galaxies, I think its only a matter of time until a dev makes a nice LED notification app.
[Epic 4G Themes] Khemul:
When the battery has charged fully (which seems to be 95% :D).
[Epic 4G Themes] professoroak:
So has anything been found allowing customizable led notifications? I'm running Nebula 1.0.7 and I'm not sure if it's just the rom, DK28, or whatever that does not seem to have an led notification setting. Unless I'm just that incompetent to not be able to find it... :( I just checked my brother's stock Epic, and the led notifications are in the sound/display settings but it's not on my phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] OneEyedWilly:
I was having a hard time getting any led notifications with anything but the stock sms app. I had to open the custom color option in handcent to get my led to blink. Sadly I can't get handcent, go sms, or sms popup to give me a blue led no matter what I do. Also, I used the led test menu by using the dialer code and I can't get a green led. I'm assuming the epic is without one, but I can get purple to come up.
[Epic 4G Themes] 063_XOBX:
Samsung only put a blue and red led, which significantly limits our led colors (red, blue or purple)
[Epic 4G Themes] professoroak:
I tried running handcent to get an led notification for my text messages, but I couldn't get anything, even when I used simply red at normal blinking speed. Any suggestions of what to do?
[Epic 4G Themes] Xemantic:
Uh with any DK28 rom I run (running midnight rom right now) I can set my led blue for incoming txts in go sms and it works fine. I tried gettin the purple led to work but no luck
[Epic 4G Themes] Somvang`:
I've actually just tried getting it to flash purple and it worked. I was using Handcent and under the setting > notification settings > notification settings > color of led > green
[Epic 4G Themes] eheaps:
I recently started using Go SMS (similar to handcent, but I like the UI better) and was able to set my incoming SMS notifications to blink blue, while emails etc still blink red. If anything, it's a start. I haven't tried to squeeze a purple out of it.
[Epic 4G Themes] big_bake:
bump.

I'm mainly looking for LED notifications to work while the phone is charging. Seems there should be something simple to keep the charge LED state from overriding any LED notifications. Flip it around to make notifications take priority over charge state.
[Epic 4G Themes] Darkshneider:
Try NoLED from the market. I use it for that same purpose. It doesnt use the LED itself, but displays an icon of the type of notification. Default are SMS, calls and email, but you can "monitor" other types of notifications and will display the icon for that app. Icons skip around the screen so you wont have to worry about burning LEDs.
[Epic 4G Themes] big_bake:
I'm aware of the app, but since the Epic has a hardware LED that does work, I'd like to see someone figure it out. If I knew anything about android I'm sure I could poke around, but I don't know really where to start.
[Epic 4G Themes] Darkshneider:
Plenty of phones have LEDs and I dont think any of them do what you ask for.
[Epic 4G Themes] razorseal:
droid 1 did, and you didn't even have to root it.

I had orange for my SO, purple for best friend, green for email, blue for texts, white for for missed calls. red for low battery, which i could set myself.
[Epic 4G Themes] Stericson:
Hmmm, I have an Epic, I think I will take a look into doing this.
[Epic 4G Themes] MBM7881:
i would love to see this too on the epic. before i upgraded to froyo i only had the red led notification after froyo i have both red and blue. i do miss this from my bb...berrybuzz was cool as ish!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] Stericson:
Well I know how to turn the LEDs on and off via the cmd line, might be another way to do it using an available method within the SDK so that we do not need root to accomplish this.

The app to control this needs to run as a service so it can control the state of the leds, controling how long the light flashes, what color it flashes, the pattern, etc.

The good side of this is I am pretty sure I can make the app indicate all three notifications, meaning go to red, then to blue, then to purple which would indicate a text message, email, and missed call. I will work on this a little tomorrow if I get time and hopefully more on Sunday with a hopeful test version out this Monday maybe?

Best Regards,

Stericson

So its interesting to hear that the LED notifications has multiple colors outside its standard red and blue for the EPIC 4G.

I know on mine it blinks red for my messages and has a solid red for charging while it blinks blue for Twidyord twitter notifications and solid for a fully charged battery
[Epic 4G Themes] big_bake:
I'm glad to see a dev looking into this. Achieving this without root would be great (even though I'm already rooted) but anyway to get it to work while charging would be great.

My LED does work fine when it's off the charger. Red for SMS and blue for twitter or other social network stuff.

This idea all came from my old phone (Samsung Rant) which would blink for me while it was on the charger. It's nice too look over in the morning and see if I have any missed calls or texts without having to touch the phone. The LED wouldn't blink forever, but for ~30 min to an hour. If you make an app, some options for controlling the blink rate as well as the length of time the LED will blink following an event would be nice.

I would be willing to test things you come up with. The stats of my Epic are in my sig.

Rather than start from scratch, you can start take Missed Reminder and improve it for our Epic's. Missed Reminder is an open source project.

Source Code

My Missed Reminder config. The configuration is important (1 second notification interval) as it is the only way I could get the LED to blink continuously rather than blink for the 5 seconds and then intermittently afterwards.

[Epic 4G Themes] Stericson:
Well, I'm still looking into this, it's just hard to get some time to work on it. Worked on it a bit last night so some progress is being made.
[Epic 4G Themes] Stericson:
Well, still can't seem to figure out how to disable the effect that occurs when we plug our phones in. It seems that the notification LED's are disabled and the red LED is left on continuously. This is problematic because that means the app needs to control all notifications when the screen is off, which is kind of like reinventing the wheel. If I can find where this happens, maybe in the source code, I can prevent it from taking place and the LED's will function as normal, as if the phone was not plugged in. Alas, I am still working on it....but it will be slow going, I have a few other apps I'm trying to work on as well, going to have to start picking days to work on certain apps. Mondays for LED, Tuesdays for BusyBox, Wednesdays for NinjaMorph, etc etc etc....
[Epic 4G Themes] big_bake:
Well that's good news and bad.

I kinda figured it was something deeper in the code. I don't know what kind of code tells charging to "override" regular notifications on the LED, but if you know what something like that looks like you might find it. Only thing I'm looking for is for the notifications to "override" the charging status. Pretty much flip what the code is doing.

Maybe I'll start spending some of my free time learning about android and the code. I only took a one semester course on basic C++. I kinda get the gist of it but I didn't do to well in that class. And I *think* android is not C++, it's a different language right?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
More java than C++
[Epic 4G Themes] big_bake:
Yeah I just spend some time reading up on AOSP and saw that Java was the language. Then proceeded to go crossed looking at the code. Might be a little harder for me to get into this than I thought

[Epic 4G Themes] Cavalicious:

I was actually on the verge of taking my phone back for this SOLE reason. I came from Blackberry with custom LED for everything.

I miss being able to look over and know if someone called (who called), someone texted me, someone emailed or what all in one glance. Lazy I know :rolleyes:

However, it is nice to not have to turn the phone on to see if I need to call, especially in the kitchen when your hands are dirty.

Anyways Stericson, if you want some money to inspire the effort, I am happy to donate plenty for this, name the price.

Furthermore, thanks a lot!

Summary of my wish list:

-No need for LED to tell me phone is charging/charged, I know when the cable is plugged in thanks

-Blink length (forever or just 1 hour etc. after an event)

-Blink color

-Blink speed (every 2 seconds, etc. also if you can-having it rapid/stay on/rapid slow sequence?)

THANKS

I cant even get my led to notify me of anything other than charging related. I think its because i had led notifications turned off in di18 when i updated to eb13, and now im on ec05, neither of which has a setting for the led.

[Epic 4G Themes] ksmullins88:
i agree with that.

i find it hard to believe that samsung messed up what seems like the most simple of things in our phones that were huge selling points... (i.e. the keyboard and the LED flash problem.)

anyway, since we pretty much fixed the keyboard to where its usable, i would really love to be able to use the LED notifications.

only thing missing now is a bud light app that pours my beers ;)

Full name is "Blink - Flash LED in Your Way" from IMOBLIFE INC.

If you are doing the initial setup of testing colors, note that the LED will only blink if you start the test then turn off the screen.

Only Red and Blue work. Was hoping for purpler as well but alas.

I just set SMS/MMS to flash blue and tested it successfully. Only thing that sucks is it still only wants to flash 6 times which makes the LED pretty useless. I know there is that other app (can't think of the name) that will force it to keep blinking but ftlog can't samsung fix this stupid thing?
