A Dream Team wish list

In my opinion this would be a perfect team to bring AOSP gingerbread port to sgs.

supercurio experienced in kernel coding - proven NS root, voodoo etc.

Aery aka Codeworkx experienced in all areas - proven dev works on CM6.1 port

Coolya Great experienced in all areas - proven dev works on CM6.1 port

KarloRanseier - unproven jet but qualified by the statement from the first post and with a good will.

With those guys working together a 2.3 would be ready in a week. I hope my wish list will come true for the holidays:D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] KarloRanseier:
I just DLed the kernel sources from the nexus s (these are the android git samsung sources) and the opensource package from samsung OS center. Now we need to compare them, to find out which parts ( machine init for s5pcX and mainly drivers) are different. thats a messy work but nohting really hard.

Then i think it should be possible to port most of the changes from galaxy kernel to nexus s kernel (i think there wont be that much changes...).

then compile one and give it a shot.

I will see what happens :)

will try it tomorrow and then i will show up in irc and hear what the others have to say.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trasig:
'

dont need to port the kernel at all. focus on the rom instead. gingerbread will run fine on 2.6.32
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trasig:
and btw. sgs uses some properitery drivers wich we dont got sources for. so it cant even be ported,like onenand,rfs etc.

with out them /dev/block/stl* wont even exist..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KarloRanseier:
You are right with that...

BUT if no android phone in the world has rfs, i think that android dont need rfs. Thats just a bullshitish samsung development. So if we just use a stock android,

we would get rid of rfs and just use yffs like every android in the world does. there is no need for us tu use rfs (besides of some configs which surly can configed back to original)

And a onenand driver is nearly sure gettable in opensource as there are not soo many onenand ctrls but very much devices which use them.

But oki :) i then will start to get gignerbread sources and have a look at this.

PS: in m8 world, we did it like that: Created a root image which was mounted at startup to /data and stuff. This way we could hold this image on sd card. i think it should be possible to do the same with a gingerbread img to give it a short try and tinker with it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimher:
I've had some trouble with CM 6.1 because I haven't been able to install certain kind of apps; first the restore failed with Titanium Backup, so I tried on the market, but that was unsuccessful too.

What seemed to solve the problem in 6.1 was telling in CM settings to install directly on the phone (CM Settings->Application Settings -> Install location-->Internal).

Now that I've got 6.1.1 the problem is back, and the previouse fix does not work. I can't seem to get back on the phone apps like StumbleUpon and SDMove.

I don't know what the problem is since everything worked in 6.0.

Anyone has any clues?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
Do you have DarkTremor's apps2SD installed? If not, what always worked for me was to unmount the SD, install the app, remount the SD and then use froyo apps2SD to move it.

I am having the same problem but have DarkTremor's apps2SD and can't unmount the SD so I don't know what to do now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimher:
Unmounting worked!

Well, thanks a lot.

But still, this is really annoying. I mean, I should be able to install without the need to unmount/remount every time!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
Yeah it's really annoying now that unmounting isn't a possibility but no one seems to have an answer why this happens in either case.

I suspect it has something to do with the way the app wants to install. One developer I talked to mentioned that apps that want to install directly to SD have this issue and this is why unmounting works, it forces the app to install to internal memory. With DarkTremors though this is no longer possible so I don't know what to do.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AlexVK:
The HDSense builds are quite good in this job, with only one touch you can have access to your desktop internet on your android device with a USB cable. However, on other builds there's no option like that (that i know of). So my question is: is this type of connection possible between a pc and a non-sense build of android (via USB cable), especially on Cyanomod builds.

I want to know this because I dont have a Wifi router installed. Also when I try a different Android ROM I always sync my Gmail with the phone, and on 3G speeds its a bit slow.

i got this to work and i am using MDJs desire HD froyo build.

i personally am not sure how it all happened as the first time i tried it it didnt work. but i decided to give it another shot and i plugged in my usb cable, device asks me what to do (sync, tether, etc) and i select the internet passthrough option and my windows 7 comp started installing drivers and all of a sudden i could browse via my phone.

sorry i cant give details but it just happened that easily. i also installed htc sync first that was directly downloaded from htc website. i am not sure if that installed any drivers to make this process work. the htc sync program itself doesnt work.

hope my vagueness gives you some leads haha.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AlexVK:
Yes, the HD builds have that option, so I would think that there are other programs on the market that can let you do the same without the HD Sense. I tried USB tethering (sharing internet of the phone with the PC) while my connections (pc internet and phone internet) were "bridged". That, I thought, should share pc internet with the phone, but it did not work. Did someone have more luck with that?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cjmovie:
I admit I've been out of the loop on everything now for at least half a year, but I attempted to write a video player for Android utilizing libavcodec/avformat/etc. and get it to an at least workable state a while back and figured it might be of some fun or use to others. It has no real controls (you select a video, it plays, no pause/seek/etc.) but does allow you to do a multi-touch zoom on the video while it's playing - and that's worth something, right?

Although this should run on any modern Android handset, I'm pretty sure I hard coded the screen resolution for the Evo in there somewhere.

There were slight alterations to avcodec to get everything up and running, and obviously I've linked directly to a good bit of code - so if you'd like a copy of the source for the entire program, just ask. For now I'm putting the upload off since it's quite a large amount to upload :)

You can find the apk for it here: http://cjmovie.net/MediaPlayerX.apk

It starts out with the directory listing of /sdcard. Use the .. at the top to navigate to a parent directory, not the back button. You can pan the video around by using two fingers and not moving your fingers relative to each other. Scale similarly, although if you don't move your fingers apart fast enough it'll assume you don't want scaling and you'll have to try again.

Also opens still-frames (so jpg, png, etc.) and lets you multi-touch zoom around on them.

It's very crash happy, but I've never had it cause any problems other than needing to re-open the app. YMMV

VPLAYER

Thanks for all the hard work your putting into an app as development is essential to this community. I do believe though that there is an app on the market that is similar to what your working towards/looking for. It's called VPLAYER and it's free on the MarketPlace and i've yet to find a file type that it will not play. I use AndTorrent a lot and it has been able to play every download i've ever had. Anyways, hope this is what your looking for and if not sorry for wasting space on your post. PEACE
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chummer360:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
like someone else said above, vplayer in the market already plays most any file type (admittedly without the panning or zooming features). I don't know if it's possible, but what would really make your app stand out is if you could get it to see and play media files on a shared drive over a home network. Just a thought.

Kudos though - it must have been a pita to develop.

Hey guys,

I'm buying an SGS tomorrow to rid my world of iTunes and batteries that deplete after half a day and all other things that come when you get an iPhone.

I know the specs of the Samsung Galaxy and I've played with one, plus I've heard there are plenty of things you can do with it (lag fixes, customising home screen etc) but I have a few questions:

1) Can anyone tell me where I can find all these things and how to do it?

2) What's the best way to get my contacts from my iPhone to my SGS?

3) Can you put podcasts on an SGS?

4) I often leave home at 8am and I'm out all day then go out straight after work and don't get home til 5am the next morning and I ride so no access to a car charger in this whole time... Any recommendations on extended batteries or those cases with batteries in them or anything?

5) Is the new 2.2 update good, and where can I get it?

6) To put music, videos and photos on the phone, is it simply drag and drop? What's the best program to use for it? (god I hate iTunes..)

Cheers guys

edit: I should probably add that I'm in Sydney, Australia.

All those things are on the forum.

2) What's the best way to get my contacts from my iPhone to my SGS?

Export them from Iphone, upload them in your gmail account and then synchronize your SGS with your gmail account

3) Can you put podcasts on an SGS?

Never used them so not know

4) I often leave home at 8am and I'm out all day then go out straight after work and don't get home til 5am the next morning and I ride so no access to a car charger in this whole time... Any recommendations on extended batteries or those cases with batteries in them or anything?

Spider-foot.com should be an answer. and you can find other batteries around.

5) Is the new 2.2 update good, and where can I get it?

Try the Samsung application named KIES. in 5 min you have 2.2.

Its good. its slower then 2.1 but then again I was expecting that.

6) To put music, videos and photos on the phone, is it simply drag and drop? What's the best program to use for it? (god I hate iTunes..)

You can try Winamp. or the kies aplication.

oi guys ive had a look at a few of those suggested threads about gps and yeah nah they dont really answer my question so feel free to link me to a thread if it answers my question

ok so, what the go.. the phone has gps.. but it doesnt work like a gps device eg navman, tomtom etc.. or does it? i've tried stock froyo and cyanogenmod using that google car app and then going to navigation, but it just keeps searching for a signal for ever. i dont want to use data cause it costs money and defeats the purpose of having a gps.. that is if the phone gps actually works like a gps device. if not then thats pretty bad advertising. anyways let me know, cheers

Mine gets connected to satelites on few seconds,performs as good as my Tom Tom does,i am using Navigon app&maps.
[Legend General] nolook:
the latest google maps has offline support so you wouldnt need data...
[Legend General] curto:
what??! thats rediculous! i left mine in that navigation mode where it was looking for navigation or something like that and the gps symbol was flashing for like 15 min straight as i drove to work and nothing! :confused: is it meant to take that long?

EDIT: ok i opened up maps with wifi and it went through all that first time use crap. and so it was using wifi and gps it looked like and that was working. but then when i disabled wifi none of the maps load. only the maps that i had previously loaded while on wifi. wtf? arent maps installed..????????? therefore it should just load them.. what the #%^% im starting to get really pissed off with how stupid this design is. the maps are there, cause theyre installed, and the gps is there so.............. what the ^%#* is its problem?
[Legend General] nolook:
your right it will only save maps you have browsed while on wifi...i believe there is a setting that overrides this though...
[Legend General] curto:
do you know where this setting is? oh and i got the gps to work ie i got it to find me and all that. i did some reading and with gps on most phones the first time they connect it takes a while cause its gotta do all this satellite scanning and then eventually it goes yep ok hes in this part of the country, lets set him up with these satellites and so from then on it connects with gps a lot faster
[Legend General] Nashan:
First of all: the design is just great, you are the stupid.

How GPS work on dah phone ? well just like any other GPS: it receives signal from a few satellites around and it find your position based on the time laps between the reception of each signal (signal come with a time sync).

Now, how WELL does the Legend's GPS work ? as good as any other GPS: very nice in a car or outdoor, but very badly indoor and if it was unable to find your position for 15 minute I'm pretty sure you were indoor (or maybe outdoor in a big city).

Also on smartphone's GPS the data connection can help the GPS itself by downloading some data which will speed up the localisation by satellite, but this is not mandatory and if you're not connected you will end up being positionned. It will only take a few minutes (less than 15)

Finally about the navigation system (which is a bit different of GPS itself) Google's is fairly different than other software because it doesn't come with maps but it download them as you need them:

pros:

-maps are always up to date

-you don't have to waste 2Gb or more on your microSD to store them

-it's free !

cons:

-requires data connection (unlimited download recommanded)

If you prefer usual navigation software, feel free to use co-pilot or navigon or tomtom or any of the other regular software. But you'll have to pay (or crack) them.
[Legend General] curto:
whoa whoa whoa hang on now. lets not go throwing the word stupid around especially if you didnt even understand what i meant or you assumed i didnt know how gps works in the first place.

my general question was that it wasnt connecting to gps and the maps werent showing so im thinking you need data for the maps to show even though you have the maps installed, and secondly im thinking something is wrong with my gps or maybe it doesnt work like a normal device navman, tomtom etc because its been half an hour and still no connectivity. then i answered my own question as usual via the internet from other forums i found using google which explained what i said above.

basically with normal gps devices they are already setup with a region.. thingy or whatever it is built into the gps device. this means the first time you connect its actually quite quick because it already has an idea where you are in the world. however with phones, they apparently dont have this so the process of connecting for the first time can range from 3 min, instantly or up to 3 hours like numerous people claimed it had taken for their phones. as for mine it took just over half an hour and now it works fine.

the only question left over now is apparently you can get the maps to show without a data connection through some option change in the settings as someone mentioned a bit earlier.

dont go throwing stupid around mate or assuming anything cause now who looks stupid. besides the design is quite silly since none of this was explained. when they say the phone has gps people (like me) generally go oh wow like those car gps' and expect them to work like that. so when they dont we become a bit skeptical and i was right to do so because look at all this crap ^^^that ive discovered. anyways like i said theres still one stupid thing left about all this which is why data is needed to view maps that are already installed. its like those video games that you install and require you to be on the net to play :rolleyes:
