Hello

Someone can post
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] syntax1993:
LOL someone can Google?

Someone can sniff around the forums?

Kind of lazy don't you think?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] alecuba16:
There are a lots old posts telling about the latest but isn't.

This is why i'm asking :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
You should probably check out the Kaiser Kernel Thread around page 9 or 10 for the latest kernel being worked on by clemysn.

Also check out the Gingerbones build of android. It is Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) just so you're aware. In my opinion it's the most stable of them all, but extremely stripped down.

As far zImage and Panel... zImage is if you're using Haret to run Android, the link above I mentioned is if you're installing on NAND. Panel, well you'll need to use aTools to configure your kernel for your device (Kaiser, Vogue, Polaris), but Panel 2 seems to be the most common type (I actually have panel type 3, so I have to use that)

There is a latest zImage kernel by l1q1d you can try, it's under the same thread on the first page first post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] alecuba16:
Many thanks!!!

EDIT:

I'm using the clemsy's modified kernel(prevents reboots page 15 from kernel's thread)

-Wifi works on all froyo's (scoots,barebones,super froyo,best froyo)+donut from myn's

-Flashed radio 1.65.24.36

-I modified the kernel nbh to run @490mhz and 2160mha on advanced settings

-latest initrd and zImage-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23 that i founded until yesterday for haret users.

I uploaded there if someone wants the clompletely flashing pack (haret and NAND)

Good Afternoon Streakers,

I am keen to upgrade to Froyo and will be doing so (my notification has arrived) just as soon as I find out how I can backup my gmail and outlook notes.

How do I backup other application user data also ?

I know DELL backup and restore app will do everything else but I need to backup my emails and data created by apps

Anyone know how to do this ?

Many Thanks
[Streak 5 General] FIT4C:
I have heard that MyBackup Pro works great. I actually used it to backup my HD2 but have not been able to restore yet because I cant get my Streak until Saturday. There was an option for Data backup as well.

As for gmail, your gmail account is already backed up by google servers. Not sure what you mean by this?

You can also back up your Contacts, SMS, MMS, and Call Log with an app called "SMS Backup+" right to your gmail account, they will have their own folders and you can set it up to backup automatically as new data arrives on your phone.

May I ask how you received your update? Aren't they not coming out until January 2011?
[Defy General] Higgsy:
have been pratting about with this over the last day, have found the following.

I am using overclock module to set a custom setting of 900mhz/46vsel

However, when performing a cat /proc/overclock/mpu_opps I get the following

mpu_opps[3] rate=900000000 opp_id=3 vsel=46

mpu_opps[2] rate=600000000 opp_id=2 vsel=48

mpu_opps[1] rate=300000000 opp_id=1 vsel=33

So whilst we are changing the max_freq and max_vsel we are not doing anything to reduce the vsel on the lower frequencies and thus not getting max battery life. The stock vsel at 600mhz is actually more than 900!

So I made a script so as to change the vsel values to lower for the lower frequencies as below:

setscaling.sh

echo 46 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel

echo 900000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate

echo 1 300000000 28 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo 2 600000000 38 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo 3 900000000 46 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo 0 900000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo 1 600000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo 2 300000 > /proc/overclock/freq_table

mpu_opps then read as I want it:

mpu_opps[3] rate=900000000 opp_id=3 vsel=46

mpu_opps[2] rate=600000000 opp_id=2 vsel=38

mpu_opps[1] rate=300000000 opp_id=1 vsel=28

I can run the script manually, and it works a treat, however, on reboot it has to be manually applied. Tried a number of ways to get this to run at boot (scripts and also autostart app in the market) however it doesn't apply and the reason behind this is due to it trying to apply the script before the overclock module has been applied.

I then tried to exclude the Milestone overclock app and use the overclock.ko module directly into /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko. The module itself seems to run ok, however when I then apply my setscaling.sh it cause the phone to reboot.

So a few questions if anyone can help.

1)is there anyway to delay a script from running for a period of time after boot (eg once the overclock module has loaded)

2) Any ideas why the phone is rebooting when using the overclock module directly outside the app, but the script works fine in conunction with the app.

I think I am just missing something obvious thats staring me in the face!
[Defy General] Damool:
I guess it would be quite simple for whoever coded milestone overclock to just add a setting where we can choose the vsel for multiple frequencies...

Good job though, was wondering also if that was possible!

Will try and find how to contact him :)
[Defy General] Higgsy:
I have added my setscaling.sh place it in /system/binx and execute it.

You can ammend it to put your own frequencies in there, be careful though!
[Defy General] Damool:
Thanks will try when back from skiing ;)
[Defy General] Zaben:
Higgsy, do you know how Android natively sets the frequency and voltage levels? Is there a config file or is it hard coded into the kernel or a module? My googling skills didn't turn up much.
[Defy General] Xhit:
The default levels should be the reset values in the hardware itself. The Milestone Overlock App contains a kernel driver to communicate with the OMAP processors PLL and voltage chip (the TWL5030 chip) using the I2C buss to be able to modify these registers and their reset values. Higsy is communicating with this kernel driver using the /proc to set some of the registers that the kernel driver has mapped out. So it's more a case of being able to set these registers when the kernel module is being loaded to avoid doing it once the driver has been loaded.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
Yeah thats it, any suggestions then? At the mo I'm still running my script manually on boot after everything is loaded, to be fair I do it without thinking about it now, but would be good to automate it
[Defy General] Xhit:
Hmmm, seems I was mistaken in my last post. The kernel driver does not write to the TWL5030 directly, some registers in this chip has already been mapped out by and OMAP kernel driver and the overclock kernel driver is just used to be able to get to the OMAP driver parameters and other kernel parameters. All this according to the documentation found in code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/wiki/KernelModule . And according to the same you can set some parameters when you insmod the kernel driver, "insmod overclock.ko mpu_opps_addr=0xc050a848 max_rate=800000 max_vsel=62". So you could try to set the arguments you want in freq_table and mpu_opps at insmod instead to see if that works?

EDIT: According to the FAQ, changing the freq_table and mpu_opps can only be done using a script writing to /proc.

http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/wiki/FAQ

Edit 2: Checked the source code of overclock kernel driver. And the freq_table and mpu_opps is not a module_param meaning you can not set them during kernel load. However it would be very easy to add a couple of module_params to the source code be able to set them during kernel driver load. However you would need the complete cross-compiler environment to build it once modified, which I guess is the major time consumer to make this change. So kindly asking Tiago Sousa whos written it would maybe be the quickest..
[Defy General] Higgsy:
Right I cracked it!

all I had to do was the following

My setscaling.sh resides in system/xbin

I created an Install-recovery.sh and placed in system/etc

The content of Install-recovery.sh is:

#!/system/bin/sh

sleep 90

setscaling.sh

Hence making the script wait 90 secs before it initialises my setscaling.sh - plenty of time for the overclock module to load.

It may not be the best solution but it works a treat.
[Defy General] Zaben:
Wow that was fast. I've been playing with the voltages and it seems that stability depends on both the starting freq/vsel and also the current battery level. For example I can lower the voltage for 300MHz slowly while staying at 300MHz, but jumping from 600MHz I have to be much more careful so the resulting vsel has be to much more conservative. Milestone-overclock isn't always successful when you hit "apply" (including false read back) and I had to use Quadrant's system info to verify each time. This was much more touchy compared to undervolting a laptop.

If you're running Clockworkmod then absolutely. Just boot into Clockwork (Vol Up + Power) and select Backup / Restore and do a backup. When complete reboot, mount the internal storage and backup your clockworkmod folder from internal storage to your PC somewhere safe.

If you're not running clockworkmod take a look at the following thread, first section, on setting that up.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Then when you get your new device simply install clockworkmod, mount storage and reverse the process.

Hope this helps.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
Nice job Hamdir, looks like quite some work!

I did notice the comment on the sharpness -2 setting in one of the other camera threads. It does give the photo's a sort of 'blurred' feel imho, judging the above comparison pics.

Anyway, very clear comparison of all the possible settings.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smudgelab:
That must have taken some time to put together :eek:. Thanks very much for it, greatly appreciated. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
yes i'm the one who keeps preaching sharpness -2 hehe

its a little soft at full scale, but why would you ever look at a photo at this size?

it can be improved in many ways since the details are there in the image, anything higher then -2 will mess up the original photo in my opinion

you can settle to sharpness -1 its the closest we can get to Photoshop sharpness quality but you can see in the comparison some details are lost in the bushes for example

don't come anywhere near sharpness 0 its pure @#$% :)

anyone knows how to embed a youtube video? i can't get it to work
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
Superb post... thanks for that.

My main issue is capturing moving people (especially my 2 year old!) indoors. Keep getting blurred shots/footage.

Any suggestions to improve this?

Thanks again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
good question, i'll add a part for that, sadly it seems the shutter speed is a little slow in the DHD.

But capturing a photo is still very quick so there is a solution, when i'm snapping a photo of people i take a few quick shots in a raw, one of them will work

hope this helps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
My camera issue:

Having decent settings to get the best result is one thing, having a design flaw is another:

Below is a picture I have taken with the DHD inside a football stadium (it has been resized, but that is irrelevant for the point I am making).

I am sitting 1 meter from the field, with just one row beneath me.

When I try to take a picture of the field, the lights in the roof of the stadium reflect behind the camera's glass protection (it actually reflects behind the black circle which says 8.0 megapixels). This results in the reflection being caught on camera as well.

This, in my opinion, is a design flaw and really should not have occurred. What is your opinion?

it happens mainly when you take a picture and a bright lightsource is above and opposite from you, while your camera is pointed straightforward.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
i don't get it, isn't this lens flare? it occurs in all cameras, otherwise you need a specialty lens to deal with this

as a matter fact we simulate and add it as an effect when we make a CG stadium animation...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
None of the pics I made with my K850i had this show up.

I think this should not happen, it is a reflection of the light on the inside of the camera cover or something.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
i think it varies between different lenses, cameras and phones, i don't know its clearly lens flare, here check these from google

and this a straight shot of the sun, its just lens flare tons of cameras do that :confused:

An amazing guide! I hope to buy the phone before Christmas and the one thing, other than the battery life, that was of concern to me was the quality of the camera, however with you suggestions I don't think it will be as big an issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
Amazing guide! thank you for that!

I have a question, using my DHD at a night club, all photos came out either overexposed, unfocused, alot of noise or other kind of poor image quality.

The photos you took with flash surprised me a lot. Is there a special reason for that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
never had this problem, only yest at the pub I tried to take a quick photo of a friend, it was out of focus in the viewfinder so I had to get the camera to focus right at this point the focus sticks to the same distance for the next shots

so make sure you get focus, quick point and snap doesn't always work well at night. Also in low light the viewfinder slows down so you need to make sure your hand is steady.

I now have a habit of snapping multiple shots in row, later I delete the ones that came out badly

one thing I can't figure out is motion blur, sometimes fast moving subjects get blurred on the other hand I have dozens of amazingly focused shots of friends while moving.

The only explanation I could think of is maybe the shutter speed adjusts in auto or maybe its related to low light and high ISO since most of the motion blurred shots are at night without flash, I will try to investigate this.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Hamdir,I appreciate your amazing work and admire the effort and time you put to it,but I just have one thing to disagree with.You said that 720p video at low light conditions has a very low framerate,whereas the iPhone 4 get 30fps but with noise,right?Try upping your ISO all the way to 800 from the photo mode in the camera and then switch to video and record one.You will get full fps,just noise will occur.Most phones probably do that automatically(that's why they all give noise in low light IMO).I saw that with my friend's SE Vivaz.Try that and report back! :)

Other than that,your work seems...Flawless!Well done!I hope there are more people like you around here! :)

[Nexus S Accessories] Random Select:
I also picked up the Platinum Case for my Nexus S but am thinking of returning it within the return policy period should a better case become available.

I like Seidio's where they're in 2 halves (top half/bottom half) and it slides onto the phone, and there's felt in the inside of the case, this does not.

The phone sorta bangs around in there, I inserted a piece of paper, now it's tight.

Still a deal for $34, with the price Seidio sells them normally (with belt clip).

I bought it just to get me by until a real case comes out. It doesn't fit tight and feels real cheap.
[HD Mini General] iubaretzu:
Hi all,

I have a HTC HD mini and i want to prevent anyone to see what SMS (or how many) I receive when phone is in lock screen. HD Mini users know that when the phone is in lock screen and receive one single SMS anyone can see the text of SMS when press power button. Is there any way to set up this?

And I want to change the button who wake up the phone when is in standby, default is power on, I want to press power on and vol down for example.

Thanks.
[HD Mini General] iubaretzu:
anybody?

No answer?
[HD Mini General] anmatheextreme:
I also have this device and i really don't know of any mod that can be done in the lockscreen so it won't preview SMS. An idea is to stick to the default winMo lockscreen with the slide to unlock from center to left or right.

Now, to be able to power on the device with a combination of buttons needs deeper investigation. You need to mod some things and some registry entries for sure = complicating. But here is an app called "shake and wake", with which you can wake your device by just shaking it. You can google it if ur interested.
