Perhaps I should - but honestly, I don't give really care - everybody who can think just a little bit would know that it wasn't an official Samsung statement. Any forum is full of postulates, any discussion is full of postulates, that's part of everyday communication. This wouldn't have been a problem to most of the world's population who can actually think.

"I hope Samsung proves me wrong" - that's what I also wrote in my first post. As an edit, right, some 5-10 seconds after posting.

Well, I have to say that both Copilot and Maps work flawlessy on my JPK. But I didn't check raw data packets yet, and I'm using Tracker Booster on a regular basis. I have to say that now, maybe due to the new "aiding sensors" under GPS options, turns are dedected largely better and almost flawlessy (before, JM2, it used to take a while to detect changes in heading direction).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vulpinity:
Well, yes, I'm sure TomTom gives all sorts of issues on Android. Probably the main one being that of not existing. :D

Anyway.

I'm still running JPH, and it seems to have the same 'look ahead' problem - The actual positioning seems better, but when driving it just gets a bit daft when you're making lots of turns. I was driving home from a completely unknown location near London the other day (I was dropping my partner off, so she guided me there), and it tried to drive me around in circles for a while as it couldn't keep up with the turns. :eek:

One thing I did notice is that it improves enormously with time - The first few minutes of driving after getting a GPS signal are normally a bit chaotic, but it seems to settle down the longer I use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
There is a big difference between saying "I believe the hardware part of the GPS in the Samsung Galaxy S is defective", and "The hardware part is defective". The latter leaves no room for error OR opinion. It was only made opinion after editing.

What you DON'T understand, is that there are plenty of people here (such as Ryza and SuperCurio) who do delve deep into the device and can say such statements, and can prove it, and have proven it elsewhere (so they repeat it without having to provide links to earlier research). Some people might see you are a senior member, and repeat your "fact" elsewhere. Some things can be factual/proven without a statement from Samsung..

I accept you fixed it, and even still, you keep on twisting words, in every response you have made, from your fake "apology" (whose style is specifically mentioned in "Dilbert: the way of the weasel") to your last statement. But heres a real life example of what you just did if you don't understand:

Moda22 (Salesperson) : This Dodge Viper is the fastest accelerating car on the planet.

Customer: Actually, according to wikipedia the Bugatti Veyron is.

Moda22: I was about to correct myself, and say it was my opinion. Sorry that you are too stupid to differentiate between the two.

Anyway, I haven't seen any evidence here which definitively shows whether the issue is software related, hardware related, or both. But the iPhone track is interesting

Hi,

is there a way to setup the sorting-order in 3D-gallery? I want to have always the most recent pictures and videos first, not as it is now as last. I have tried using alternative galleries like multi-touch gallery and JustPictures! but I'm not quite happy with them. Multi-touch gallery is crashing all the time and JustPictures! doesn't show up my videos and is also a bit slugish. I don't need the eye-candy in 3d gallery, a simple gallery that shows me my pictures and videos with a sort-order where the most recent object is shown first place, has multitouch zoom and is fast would be perfect. I'm on cm6.

With Desktop Visualizier you can use pictures for the shortcuts you make.

my question is what is the picture size/resolution for the different widget size.

like 1x1 1x2 1x3 1x4 2x1 3x1 4x1 and so on.

I present to you my new slider.

The idea came when I saw that some had put, on their wallpaper, docks to give the impression that the quicklinks above were posed.

Having failed to find anyone who has a slider that way, I'm running.

Recommendations :

you must have manila 2.5 (it doesn't work on manila 2.1),

work on WVGA (test at your own risk for other resolution :D ),

don't work on Energy roms,

CFC version for manila patched,

uncompressed version for the others.

The cabs include only the original icons reworked presented below (no programs and no ereader for now), the slide bar and the slide tab.

It isn't an application which is going to transform icons as on the screen.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
i also have the same setup but with the froyo update that your looking for. Being that you have the desire rom already on the phone you can just open the dialer type in 80 06 92 77 53 followed by the send key(phone symbol button) without the spaces of course. i just put in the spaces to make it easier to read and type. Just follow the voice prompts and you should be 2.2 after the phone reboots itself. You may have to reboot one more time to clear everything but it should work perfectly. Hope this helped and have fun. peace, veritas

So I've been trying to hack into the QMG format that samsung has chosen to use for our bootimages.

I'm not having the best of luck, this thread is to discuss and work together to crack this file.

Here are some Reference Materials

SOURCE CODE: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/vavasis/qmg2.0/qmg2_0_home.html

I tried using the Tcl/tk method but cant seem to nmake the makefile on windows 64bit.

(will keep updating as i make progress but i have to go to class now)
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
I suspect that this is a completely unrelated product wich happens to have the same name...
[Captivate Android Development] kenjindomini:
Wrong QMG project.

Samsung uses Qmage to encode the boot animation.

The website is: http://quramsoft.com/solution_e/qmage.asp

This is proprietary software, there is no demo. Since no price is even listed and you have to contact the sales team to purchase the product it is most-likely extremely expensive commercial use only software.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Well thanks for letting me know i was working down the wrong path. I will now redirect my efforts @ Qmage, and its obtain-ability!
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Why not try to install a more normal bootlogo player?
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
Well i would use a .png or something however, Samsung has used the .qmg format, so i was going to just try to decompress, then edit , recompress and upload, and hope that my edited boot image would be there on boot.

I'm not to sure i would go about telling the kernel/os to use a different filetype all together. But you are the kernel master, so if this is possible, then we dont need to waste our time trying to break this .qmg
[Captivate Android Development] kenjindomini:
Has anyone found this to be possible?

I've checked the kernel I didn't see anything relating to the boot loader or Qmage.

I've checked /init.rc

the only 2 lines that mention booting are "export BOOTLOADER 1" and "export BOOTCLASSPATH <insert path to several framework files>"

The AOSP port is in alpha, I wonder if they can use custom boot screens or if it's still loading the playlogos1 script thus booting the qmage file.
[Captivate Android Development] mmm_tacos:
This was my header spec

dword - magic (QM)
word - ? (128 always?)
word - screen dimension X (480 my device)
word - screen dimension Y (800 my device)
word - unknown (always blank?)
dword - offset to last chunk (#3?) (this offset leads to two repeating file size dwords)
word - # of frames
word - current frame number
word - always blank?
word - always the same (value = 1)
dword - offset to middle data chunk or (1st chunks size)
dword - unknown only seems to have a value on the first entry of the file

Each new frame has its own QM file. So for instance in the bootsamsung.qmg there are 97 QM files in the .qmg.

The internal data is unknown, but it is split up I suspect. If you look at some of the battery charging qmgs you can see that the last 4 (there are only 5) are very small. This is because little changes in these frames. I believe the QM is broken up into segments (one would control just the background image etc).
[Captivate Android Development] labbu63:
ive read somewhere that there is a free version of the qmg software

[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Try installing a boot animation as you would for another android phone, then run /system/bin/bootanimation as root. I recommend doing this via adb in recovery mode, it seems you can't clear it after it runs. Going to try running it instead of playlogos next, if it works an update.zip to support standard boot animations should be easy.
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
well other android phones use a bootimage.zip where as our phones use bootimage.qmg

I'm thinking we can actually tell the kernel to boot from a .zip instead of the .qmg which would bypass us having to crack into the .qmg
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
Yes, I'm talking about using a standard android bootanimation.zip if one is found. We already have the software needed to play one on our phones.
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
I've tried doing THIS and I can actually get the beginning of the bootanimation.zip to play... That thread has some good info.

All you really need to do to get it to start is:

1. su
2. busybox cp /sdcard/sd/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
3. cd /system/bin/
4. mv playlogos1 playlogos1BKP
5. busybox cp bootanimation playlogos1

The problem is if you look at the playlogos1 file in a hex editor you can see this:

dev.bootcomplete SurfaceFlinger SurfaceFlinger not published, waiting... BootAnimationSEC requestExitItself() is called /dev/graphics/fb0 binderDied is called SurfaceFlinger died, exiting... linkToComposerDeath failed (%s) Destructor /dev/tty0 ============> 1 /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg ============> 2 ============> 3 ============> 4 parse frome buffer fail ============> 5 poll error ms4631 - Repeat Loop Animation

I've tried renaming bootsamsung.qmg to bootanimation.zip and removing bootsamsungloop with no luck.

So I think the problem might be kernel related afterall... or at least initramfs as stated in THIS POST

EDIT: Unhelpful, any chance you could try this in your next release?
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
We'll see. Where in AOSP init.rc is bootanimation started? It would need to be started explicitly since it's disabled.

My plan had been simply to wrap playlogos1 in a small program that would call bootanimation instead if a bootanimation.zip was found, but maybe that won't quite work. Simply starting bootanimation in place of playlogos1 works, but there is a very long delay with a black screen before the animation plays, and it doesn't have time to complete.
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
Maybe just put the bootanimation part where the playlogos is so that way it's called at the same time? You can look at atinm's source. He has it setup (but commented out)
[Captivate Android Development] ferman:
So has anyone made any progress with this? I haven't had anytime to mess with anything lately.
[Captivate Android Development] Siks:
I've dug around in the QMG files a bit with a hex editor & also tried various methods of displaying raw image data using them. I've also been poking around in the QMG codec & quramslideshow apk. All I have so far is guesswork & speculation, but I'm fairly certain that input images are converted to raw RGB and then from there most likely to some implementation of raw YUV for storage. I'd guess that the boot animations in the various SGS models are probably at most YUV444 and more likely compressed even further to YUV422 or 420. Reconverting to RGB565 or 888 isn't difficult & the human eye wouldn't even notice the potential slight loss in color quality. As for the obvious large discrepancy in filesize between separate QMage images, or frames rather, packed into a single file, I'd be willing to bet they're storing every successive frame only as the differences between it and the one prior, or possibly storing separate portions as individual sprites to be manipulated. So while it may seem like a lot of images it's more likely a video datastream with many frames. In fact, the more I think about it the more likely it is that the QMage format works on many of the same principles that MNG does. MNG already includes all PNG features as well as support for frames, clipping, user input, scrolling, sideways transitions, fades, palette animations, partial-frame updates, and even using image data within as sprites & animation control through nested loops. Why recode the wheel when it's freely available without licensing issues?

Of course, I'm an amateur & have no idea what I'm doing, so I could be miles off.
