tnx

its very usefull
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ultravox:
Magnificent!

I just came to take a quick look, but the thread deserves a closer one.

Thank you for sharing knowledge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Worthy of a sticky.

Hopefully this will solve all those "I want this in a kernel but not that" scenarios.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trasig:
This is VERY nice for the devs.. but.. i think this will make this forum spammed with 69 diff kernels with just minor changes.. as with the roms :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Its better to let other people brick their phone than you brick your own :-)

Just kidding! I for one will try and compile different versions with different lag-schemes to find the fastest combination. Including /system with fastest reading. I think I will add a benchmark to the recovery menu directly. Benchmarking each mount for read and for write speeds. Maybe I can use backup/restore code and just time it without writing (cp to null). Lets get to work :-)

Thanks sztupy!

I am impressed how productive master mind and kind person you are sharing all your knowledge and developments with us.

Congratulation, with you contributions you push Android Development forward.

Thank you

this is really cool, if i need minimal GUI, what would you suggest? xfce ? or there is something smaller and lighter? thx again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aziztcf:
Fluxbox/Openbox. However I don't see the need for one, if you're running the machine just for compiling.

Also, shouldn't gpm+guest additions solve the copy-paste problem?

E: Apparently not. Meh, stupid virtualbox.. sshd+putty then!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Awesome! Thanks for this sztupy! The more people we can get involved in this stuff, the better the end result will be. Always! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avary:
actullay i was looking for something light and minimal (with GUI, or at least something like PCman FM and gedit or kedit, im not good with emac, vi :o) to play and compile AOSP, for now i do this with Kubuntu dual boot on my laptop. if i put a litghweight desktop on top of szytup's image and use it with VB, that would be great. :p

thank you !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aziztcf:
I'd use a shared folder+IDE/editor/whatever on windows. But that's just because I have so awful experiences about X in VMs, things might be better nowadays :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dimes:
Thanks a lot sztupy, will try it now. Sunday is enough time for testing ;)

Each morning i have a look at XDA and you have brought out a new very helpfully posting, kernel, rom or else!

So let me ask you one question: when do YOU sleep? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
The advantage of using X is that afaik guest additions has copy-paste support, that would make modifying easier.

I also plan on making some simple scripts inside the default home directory one can run to communicate with the shared folder. After that we could provide simple scripts that you only have to put inside the shared folder, which will download, modify and run the compilation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -MaxMad-:
Please make a script or give me a hint to change permanently the keyboard layout ;)

dpkg-reconfigure console-data

works only until the next reboot :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daigoro64:
Fully agreed. Will try to migrate your VM to a VMware environment.

Thanks again sztupy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
except for the missing guest additions the provded package should load fine in VMware. Didn't test it myself though (I too use vmware for daily work).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Did you run it as root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -MaxMad-:
yes. without root dpkg-reconfigure cannot run

makes me crazy :( even loadkeys de-latin1 doesnt work until next reboot

in wich startup script or config file i can put loadkeys command in debian? something like /etc/sysconfig/keyboard i cant find :(

edit: ok there is something wrong with my VirtualBox and this image. everything is resetting when im rebooting the image like a simple new dir in my home.

dont know where it comes from :/ ntfs permissions seems ok(on my windows7 host where the vmdk file is stored). my other virtualbox vm's doesnt have this problem.

think i install the packages you described in my ubuntu vm and work from there ^^

edit2: shame on me :( i didnt import it using ovf. instead of this i configured only the vmdk with a new vm. that was the fault. dont know why but then the vmdk is readonly or something

now dpkg-reconfigure works :)

sry for that and thanks again for your awesome work!

edit3: for 'make menuconfig' i had to install libncurses5-dev
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Put up a new VM version (1.1. DL link in first post). This has support for external scripts. So if you want to compile a kernel, here is the new tutorial:

1. Install VirtualBox

2. Import the Virtual machine

3. Create an empty directory on your host PC

4. Add this directory to the "shared directories" under VirtualBox. Name it "shr"

5. Download a compiler script (check below), and put it under the shared directory on your host PC.

6. Boot up the virtual machine, login using username: kernel password: kernel

7. Run the script by entering "./install.sh"

8. The password is still "kernel" if asked.

9. Chose the options provided by the compiler script and enjoy.

-------------------------------

I also made the first external script for this VM, with which you can download and compile the latest ULTK, and modify the kernel memory config, using ykk_five's modifications.

To do so

1. download the script, and extract it into your shared folder. (it should be one file called run.sh)

2. Run ./install.sh in the VM

3. First choose "1", this will download the kernel

4. Next, re-run ./install.sh and chose "2". This will patch the kernel to be useable in the VM

5. Next, either chose "3", to compile ther kernel, or "4" to patch the kernel with the changed memory settings, and after that use "3" to (re-)compile the kernel.

After all goes well there will be a zImage file in your shared folder on the host pc. Fire up odin and flash.

I also added mc to this release, so you can run it, and have a nice commander-style interface to copy, rename and modify files. After modifying dont forget to run install.sh and chose option "3" to recompile the kernel.

I made a test-run, with ULTK and the modified settings, you can find the result here: http://android.sztupy.hu/dl/Universal_lagfix_kernel_JPM_0.4_prerelease.tar
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
wow, u made me become more popular :D

EDIT: the new settings are experimental
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
They do work fine however. Video player, asphalt and detaching usb has no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
did u find that the browser is more responsive with these settings? it's smoother even for the tab thumbnails
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jb boin:
Nice one, you can "simplify" your seds by chaining them like :

sed -i'' -e 's/old/new/' -e 's/other/thing/' filename

Or if you want one per line :

sed -e 's/first/substitution/' \

-e 's/second/modificaion/' \

-e 's/third/one/' filename

And using a case insted of elifs could look better but its only cosmetical :

case "$choice" in

"1")

[...];;

"2")

[...];;

esac

ps: if i have time, i will try to convert the VM to KVM format.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avary:
thanks again for your work .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Yeah, It was simpler that way... :)

Feel free to do so, although I don't know how a KVM format is useful for Windows users.

Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
it uses git to dl from the net, you can't replace it. Downloading the files on windows first is problematic too, as you'll lose both the linux style line endings and the permissions, so all of this has to be done inside the VM....

Try changing network config in virtualbox, imho it has options to tell which network device you want to nat it to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
tryead all things but i cant get inet to work in linux.

So i gues i give up today.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avary:
thanks sztupy.

now another question, when building the code which will be fast? putting the source code inside VM image (AOSP + /out will take alof of space) or moving it to shared folder and build there ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
you can't use the shared folder, as it won't have proper POSIX permissions. (the kernel could be built probably inside the shared folder, but the initramfs has to reside on the VM)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:

Send everyone is preoccupied with ram but I'm interested in video recording sound. Is there anything in kernel that relates to aac recording sampling frequency and bitrate?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Yep, that's why I added sshd to the default config. Although are these commands really nescessary? Isn't it easier to simply do an ifconfig on the guest, check the ip address of it, and connect to that IP address from putty on the host? The default config in virtualbox is NAT, so the host can potentially connect to the guest VM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arise:
Yeah, tried that and I got something like:

10.0.2.15 for the guest OS (debian)

Also, just for the record:

192.168.100.80 is my static IP in the Host OS (Windows 7)

I wasn't able to ssh from Windows 7 to guest OS using address 10.0.2.15. The address couldn't be found.

After that I tried (on Windows 7 command line) ipconfig and my VirtualBox IP was something like: 192.168.56.1 . Tried to ssh into that and got a connection refused.

After scratching my head, googled a bit and came up with the commands above.

Is not something complicated, there are just 3 lines, so I think is an easy way. If anyone else comes with a better solution... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rafalense:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tylerspilker:
On my ipod touch I used "Activator" to remap by home key when it was locked to allow click and hold to pause/play, and doubleclick to skip tracks. Is there any mod for the Vibrant with similar functionality? I saw that Eliot Stocker's MusicMod does this for skipping tracks, but I dont see how to get it to work and id like a play/pause more than anything. The reason I ask is because it is much nicer to switch songs without having to pull the phone out and operate it via the touch screen when you could just tap a button in your pocket

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'd like to hear from you about your impressions and preferences.

Months ago I switched from eBuddy to Imo.im cause of massive battery drain in the 1st. Imo was massively better.

In your opinion, has eBuddy improved in the last few months ?

Does it reconnect aggressively and reliably when connection gets lost and/or acounts get accessed from a pc ?

I'm particularly interested in gtalk, (eventually skype) and facebook protocols effectiveness.

Thank you all !
[Desire Themes and Apps] volapyk:
It's been a while since I used eBuddy. I only have WLM contacts and I always use MSN Talk. It's by far the best MSN type client I've tried. I use the free version, but there's a paid version as well.
[Desire Themes and Apps] qilong:
i'm using beejive and it's using Google Push, so the battery will not drain eventhough i on it everyday and night.
[Desire Themes and Apps] tomek_wap:
I prefer IMO.IM as it doesn't need that extra log in account, like in eBuddy.

IMO.IM is easy, fast, simple ... but it doesn't have groups (based on IM account, apart from Skype), and the Chat History is nowhere to be found although there's an option in Preferences to turn it on.

Do you see history anywhere??
[Desire Themes and Apps] Schrumpel:
i tried imo but i have problems with logging in and out.

i wasn't visible for people but imo showed me i was logged in.

now i use Trillian and it works fine.

ok it's not free but works perfect for me..
[Desire Themes and Apps] tomek_wap:
Too bad they dont mention which accounts it supports. Need to look it up later on.
[Desire Themes and Apps] KaspaII:
History is save in the IMO server. If you login in, then you can see it..
[Desire Themes and Apps] tomek_wap:
Ahh, on server ... pretty useless ... I dont see any history on imo on Android anyways.

Still, I love that messneger. But still have doubts whether to use the build in Gtalk or IMO. Same with FB chat.

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I just really need some help...

I just recently flashed my galaxy to JP6 and installed voodoo and everything was running fine. I then wanted to root my phone and tried Chainfires solution from here on this forum. It bricked my phone and I had to flash back to JM8.

I am now running JM8 but when I go to flash JP6 it says fail and wont let me?

I also tried flashing JMP and my phone screen went green halfway through and stopped flashing.

Any ideas why I cant flash to froyo anymore?

Is it because I still have voodoo installed?

If so how do I delete it? I've tried following th instructions from curios google page but I couldn't figure it out.

Any info on this would be greately appreiciated!

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
Why post here?

Don't like Q&A subforum?

No, its not related to voodoo.

I think you need to reflash JM8 again with 513 pit and repart enabled. After that flash JPM. (I believe no-repartition, 513pit loaded, but not entirely sure)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyDroid88:

Well if you EXACTLY follow the steps:

Leave USB disconnected, phone off.

Open odin, select options/files;

.. and still got this error... No, u just shouldnt get one. It might be ur pc configuration, but cant really tell now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeano:
In download mode there's a "Samsung Android USB modem" driver that should be active. This is the COM port that Odin uses to talk to the phone. Look in the Device Manager and see if it's there. If it's not there, unplug the phone from USB, reboot your PC, then plug the phone in download mode into a different USB socket.

If the driver is there then some other software on the PC may be grabbing its COM port, especially software for other mobile phones like Motorola or Sony-Ericsson. Make sure anything like that is uninstalled.

[Android Apps and Games] WhiteiceDMSTech:
So I have the LockBot Pro on my HTC Hero and was loving it over the last few weeks as I have start customizing my phone (Non-Root.) I have been using the option to swipe and then enter a 4 character numerical code to unlock the phone.

Today I happen to notice that when I bring up the lock screen where you either have to swipe and/or enter the code, instead of doing either, if I just hit the call button, it bypasses it all, therefore making the purpose of the lock screen pointless. I wanted the lock screen with the numerical pin code for security purposes, and hitting the call button to bypass is not acceptable to me.

Do I maybe have an option set incorrectly that is allowing this to occur or is this a bug in the program?

Can anyone recommend me a good, sorry, a great Lock Screen APP (Preferably) one where you can set some kind of code you must enter to unlock the phone?

Thank you,
