[Nexus S Android Development] Rafael Cadina:
supercurio, my friend, i've experienced some issues on netarchy's kernel and i think it's related to voodoo controls. The point is: i can oc my phone up to 1.3GHz. But if i change the color settings on voodoo controls i start to have issues with random reboots. By the time i clear data on voodoo controls the kernel start to respond well. What is it? Thank you in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
I guess your CPU can't take it!
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Thats weird...

Glad my phone doesn't have problems :O

btw newfags can't triforce

[Nexus S Android Development] barmanham:
Sorry if this has been asked but with the upcoming voodoo sound changes do you think it will be possible to increase the in-call volume? Alot of my phone calls are just a little bit to low would be great to be able to increase this thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] suksit:
Do I have to use a special config file for this? I tried

make ARCH=arm herring_defconfig

and the resulted kernel with modified initramfs seems to be not as smooth as the "Nexus-S-Voodoo-latest" one. :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
:confused: Why is the voodoo version in this thread such an old version ? I do not have linux nor do I have understanding of compiling .. How can i get voodoo sound version 7 .. I just want voodoo sound v7 qnd maybe the ext4 tweak .. So no other sutom kernel ..just stocjk + voodoo sound ..
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Then download ogdobber's kernel, its called james bond
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
But doesn't that also contain loads of other stuff like schedulers oc capabilitys etc ?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
First of all, why is that a bad thing?

And second, this kernel is made to be stock with Voodoo sound/color, and the ext4 tweak.

Thats all, you won't notice any difference in actual use.

There is no overclock
[Nexus S Android Development] ykphuah:
If I am not mistaken the James Bond kernel for stock is only up to v4 of the voodoo sound?
[Nexus S Android Development] Xene55:
Damn, this has killed my WiFi - it just says 'error' next to it in settings.

I have tried all these radios: I9020XXJK8 (GRH78), I9020XXKB1 (GRI40), I9023XXKB3 (GRI54) but no joy.

HELP! :(
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
it has nothing to do with the radio...you need the asop bcm4329.ko ...if you have flashed any other kernel then that got replaced
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
1.4.7 the 7 being voodoo sound driver 7
[Nexus S Android Development] Xene55:
I didn't quite understand the above - was sure why if I flashed this kernel over the top of the stock it wouldnt work (and was scared of screwing up the phone! with that .ko file).

Installed the 'Jame Bond triple dub special edition 1.4.7' kernel and all seems fine now :D
[Nexus S Android Development] mylexon20s:
Where can I find the Voodoo Kernel for 2.3.2 ??
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
You can try the older trinity kernels, or Netarchy's older kernels (1.2.5 i think)

Why are you on 2.3.2 anyway?
[Nexus S Android Development] mylexon20s:
i upgraded to 2.3.3 and didn't like it. stuck it out for about a week. I was running the Voodoo 2.3.3 kernel with no problems. Just minor things I prefered from 2.3.2 like facebook sync ..

I didn't really find any benefit from 2.3.3 .. Was I missing something?
[Nexus S Android Development] MU-Biomed:
Is there a way to use voodoo to boost in call volume?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Well, not really.

With the new screen drivers, the performance has decreased a bit.

And the Stock launcher's scrolling gets all blurry.

You do get nice things though, for example NFC.

But i don't think you will find the latest Voodoo sound on 2.3.2
[Nexus S Android Development] rikardo1979:
Great job m8, thanks a lot ;)

Works perfect
[Nexus S Android Development] rikardo1979:
any news about BLN in this kernel ? Any updates ?

cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Always updated, in topic name, well, not so much ^^

I try to deal with too many kernels and tasks at the same time :D

I'll do it but no ETA, hopefully there are many other quality kernels implementing Voodoo's patch and totally up-to-date.
[Nexus S Android Development] rikardo1979:
Thanks for your reply, appreciate it;)

what kernel would u recommend than with Voodoo's patch and BLN working with ?

cheers

Anybody have a .zip for me to flash through CWM?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyn00b:
I just went down to Best Buy looked at a Nexus S side by side with a Fascinate and a Captivate, and the Nexus S screen looks smaller by 0.1-0.2 inches! It also looked slightly smaller than my Samsung Focus.

I thought the Nexus S was supposed to have a 4" screen just like the Galazy S phones. Am I blind, crazy, smoking crack or did Samsung pencil whip us on the specs?!

:eek::eek::eek:

Are any of you guys seeing a difference?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintingkc:
Same size next to my vibrant. I think the curve is playing tricks on you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyn00b:
Didn't think of that - it could have been an optical illusion.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintingkc:
Seemed that same way to me so I put them next to each other.

One thing I did notice. The NS does have much better color and brightness. The vibrant looks real blue next to the NS. Was a nice surprise. The new phone seems more neutral in color and if you put them both next to each other you can see it with the screens off. The NS has a more smoked color to the screen than the blue tone in the glass of the galaxy s phones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
No and I wear glasses. So yeah, I'm not seeing things like you have. ;p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmPTaz09:

maybe an optical illusion
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krouri:
I totally agree with OP, even the icons are smaller.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Human.debris420:
Ok, so I've tried to do my own research and have come up with very little. It took me about a year to figure out what rooting actually meant and did. So I rooted my SGS vibrant and flashed a bionix rom (i think). It says "bionix shut down sequence initiated" or something like that when I turn it off (any ideas on what it is or how I can find out). I really have no idea what version it is. I also would like to put a new rom on my phone but am scared ill screw it up. I watched a youtube video that told me how to do it the first time I flashed anything. It works with a few random screw ups but KILLS my battery. I would really like for someone who knows more than me to explain what a nandroid backup is and how to do one. What the clockwork rom manager can help me do. What the one click lag fix did. Why my computer won't read the storage things on the phone when connected to the phone anymore. What is this odin thing. What is a kernel. will I still get the ota updates without the stock rom. Where did my stock rom go when I pushed backup before I flashed this rom in the rom manager app. Did I actually wipe all the original data from the phone. Why can't I restore boot animation with one click lag fix(it says somethings not found... Did I wipe/delete it?). What is an apk and sdk(or skd)? What is a voodoo lag fix. How many times can you flash beer something goes wrong. I'm really new to ALL of this and have had no help really when I've asked a lot of people who apparently know more than I. ANY help from ANYONE who knows ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcwells:
Almost all of those questions can be answered by reading the Tips and Tricks or Noob Guide threads. Those two threads have given me all the info I've ever needed for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phattchumpy:
Theres a lot of questions in there so I'll just bite off a few at first. Before that, have you taken a look at the vibrant bible thread in the dev forum? It covers a lot of the basic ' how tos '.

Firstly, you can possibly see what version of bionix you are running by looking under settings - about phone - build number. now might be a good time for you to odin back to stock and start fresh. Odin is a program that runs on your pc and can safely install a rom on top of any lag fix you may have enabled. You can read about using odin to go back to stock in the vibrant bible thread I mentioned earlier. Once you go back to stock you can receive ota updates from tmo if that's what you want or you can reroot and flash another custom rom. If you choose to flash another rom I would recommend reading every post on that rom's thread so you can learn from other's experiences. I would also recommend you keep reading the bible thread, theres a ton of good info there.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Dude, THAT is why I do those stickies, thank you! So glad it helped man!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Human.debris420:
That was really helpful, thank you and I will be looking into this more little by little. But I also have 2 very specific questions:

1. Is it possible to turn an htc windows phone into an android phone?

2. will I lose everything if I push the flash clockwork recovery in the rom manager app? I haven't done it yet but everything I've read has told me to do it the first time. I have the bionix rom running and don't remember flashing the clockwork recovery thing EVER. have I messed up or can I just do it whenever? And is it true thats how you make a nandroid backup because thats what I've read.

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out, and being patient with me. You guys are the reason I love android. Thank you from your very lost, slowly learning, new friend.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holiday5804:
Depends on the phone, many do have android roms available. Just look up whatever windows phone you have in the forum section and if there has been some android development there will most likely be a section in the thread devoted just to android development.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:
I bought one of these for my son for christmas. Dont laugh at it being coby. It is probably the best built product they have ever made. (i know not saying much but still its pretty damn solid). My question is i would like to install snesoid on it so he can play his games. But i would like to be able to use a controller to make it easier to play for him. Would the power A controller work. I know the coby will read a usb keyboard, but dont know if the powera controller acts as a usb keyboard. Any thoughts. I would post a link to the controller but not allowed yet. If you go to power A . c o m its the one under ps3 that has the slide out keyboard. Thanks!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daddyof3_101:
Partly answered my own question in the last couple of days. Installed snesoid and it runs very well. Hooked up a keyboard and was able to map the keys, so lack of multitouch is no longer a problem in the games. Can anyone confirm a usb controller working with this or is it only a keyboard. Buying one today but if someone knew that a paticuler brand worked well it would help me thanks!!

i got axura 2.2 today, and i want to give voodoo a try again...

Last time, it made me unable to move files to my SD card saying write-protected.

Also

This IS how you install it correct?

-Move the VooDoo.zip to SD CARD

then clockwork recovery, and "INSTALL FROM SD"

choose teh voodoo.zip and then done?

RIGHT?

Thanks for the help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
help please?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ar318307:
Yep, that's how I installed it. No idea about SD problems though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
re0tried that now it works perfectly.

guess i installed a curropt file or something.

nvm

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
There are no Galaxy ROMs mostly because there is very little demand and very few developers willing to work on a port. It's general consensus that the UI is undesirable. However, I imagine a port would be possible.
[EVO 4G General] m3Jorge:
Just FYI.

I had Unrevoked forever (S-Off), and decided to experiment and apply the RUU (exe) to upgrade to 3.70 SW and S-Off remained as expected and I am able to flash custom recoveries, Radios and ROMs... pretty much anything but HBOOT ( nand is still unlocked too). When I try any HBOOT even from previous Officiall RUUs it says "Bypass" and then flashes an error briefly stating "cannot downgrade HBoot".

I'm sure a few others have encounter just wanted to start a thread in case some one knows a workaround or fix.

I repeat ONLY ability to downgrade HBOOT is lost nothing else... kinda wierd if you ask me... but what do I know? :rolleyes:

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
this is a new security thing with hboots 2.02 and 2.10. you need to flash a patch and then the eng hboot. there is a patch floating around for 2.02 but i dont think there is one for 2.10 yet...
[EVO 4G General] t3project:
Why do you need the eng hboot anymore anyways? CM was the only rom that ever required it and that has long been fixed.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
for ext. hboot commands. like flashing splash screens manually and stuff.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Wolfbreak:
When you put it in system/app you need to change Permissions (like the other Apps in the Folder have) and then Reboot then it should be installed.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kevin4144:
Which radio is the newest for my mytouch. i know very little about the whole 32a 32b thing. info from my phone

Sapphire PVT 32a ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)

cpld-13

radio-2.22.23.02

oct 21 2009 22:33:27

phones a mytouch 1.2 running biffmod and amon ra custom recovery

i know it says 32a but when i first flashed a 32a rom it wouldnt do anything. I can flash g1 rom all day long though.

So what would be the latest radio for my device?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Just stick with your 2.22.23.02 radio. Your device is a 32A but more of a 32B. Let me explain... the only thing that's a 32A is your memory. HOWEVER if you have a custom rom built for 32B MyTouch devices then it is not taking advantage of the 288mb of ram so it gets wasted. You need a lot of modification of the kernel to take full advantage of it. So technically... since you are not using all of your ram... you pretty much have a 32B device. It requires 32B radios... 32B kernels... 32B roms. So for the most part anything that works on a 32B device should work on your device. With some exception of some roms that have older kernels. In other words... no Hero roms with 1.5 firmware because your touchscreen and headphone jack may not work.

Just stick with your existing radio because it's a mild inconvenience to change radios anyway because you have a protected SPL and even if you did manage to flash a newer radio... odds are you won't notice any difference anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kevin4144:
thanks for the reply and for the explaination on the whole 32a 32b stuff good to know

[Galaxy S I9000 General] spooksie:
I've booted my phone with the power + home + volume down. To test the download mode, however the logo shows for about 2 seconds and then repeats on a loop. This happens until I let go of all 3 buttons.

Same applies with volume up (recovery mode)

Is this bad or good?

[Vibrant Accessories] lotherius:
I noticed when I was at a friend's place recently that the Vibrant supports N wifi networks as well as G. However, I did not have the opportunity to do any extended testing.

I have noticed that wifi transfers over the network using various file sharing tools tend to be slow, and buffering with Allshare can be slow at times. What I'm wondering is, has anybody compared actual speed of Wifi on the Vibrant or Galaxy when using an N network versus G? Is the speed of the phone itself more the limiting factor, or would I get much better speeds using an N network?

Reason is, I'm currently using a Buffalo WHR-54GS router. It is a bit old, but using DD-WRT firmware, it has been rock solid. It does not, however, support N networking. I'm wondering if I would see any improvement in speeds transferring files and buffering DLNA connections by upgrading to a Buffalo WHR-HP-GN which supports N networking.

The only reason I'd upgrade would be for the N based Wifi - so if there's no benefit on my phone, then I wouldn't need to upgrade. Any input?
[Vibrant Accessories] Gomjabar:
I have not had a chance to do any benchmarking but I have done allshare over both a G and N network and it did seem noticibly faster over the N network. Especially when paired with a gigabit hard wire to whaterver your streaming to/from.

Actually I think the gigabit helped as much as the wireless N, of course those routers tend to be more expensive...
[Vibrant Accessories] ericm115:
I got a linksys wrt160n with ddwrt. the n doesnt work great with ddwrt but the router is great. i also have another n wireless but i dont notice much diference at all. maybe internal network stuff but not internet stuff.
[Vibrant Accessories] Saiboogu:
Can't say I've done side-by-side comparisons, but it does seem to get some boost from the N speeds. For a new router, I'd suggest the ASUS RT-N16. Just about the most powerful consumer router out there (RAM & CPU) and it runs Tomato (plus dd-wrt)
[Vibrant Accessories] tide1988:
N is better for streaming.

The N network allows a faster streaming and file transfer over the wifi. Now this will not improve your internet speed. The limit on the router might be higher, the modem will still have its limits. If you use allshare alot, I'll recommend you get a N router, otherwise no reason to purchase something you won't use. I have a Netgear dualband router (WNDR 3300). It supports both N and G networks but I rarely use the N since most of my devices do not support N. The ones I have that do like the Vibrant supports at 2.4ghz frequency. The router can be switched to broadcast the N at 2.4ghz, but like I said, If you're not streaming, there's really no need for it. To put this in numbers, the G networks can only transfer data at the maximum of 50mbps while the N can transfer files at Maximum of ~400mbps (if not higher). If your internet service does not offer more than 50mbps speed, then your internet will remain the same whether on G or N. You have been schooled
[Vibrant Accessories] Saiboogu:
Helpful, informative post. Up until the last sentence. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Accessories] Only Loki:
Unless you only set your router to n you wont get the full advantage of using n you will only get compatibility. Having g on slows down you n network to a like speed. At least that what happens on my router, I have a dlink, when I did a little Googling it confirmed it.
[Vibrant Accessories] Saiboogu:
May be specific to your Dlink. My Asus does G & N, and the N devices ran significantly faster than the G laptop that I still had connected until recently. The G laptop never slowed anything else down.
[Vibrant Accessories] t1n0m3n:
If you are going to try to school people, please do it right and quit misleading people.

The Vibrant is not MIMO capable, so we only get a theoretical 150Mbps on 802.11N. Due to security and WiFi error correction, realistic throughput is ~70Mb/s. That is 8.75MB/s, slightly faster than an AData 16G class 6 card, but significantly slower than a SanDisk 8G Class 6 card.

On 802.11G, again due to WiFi error correction and security, a realistic throughput number is around 20Mb/s. That is 2.5MB/s, barely faster than a crappy Class 2 SD card.

Keep in mind that these are all "optimal" numbers. The amount of time that your vibrant will ever see these (more realistic) maximum numbers are probably less than 10% of the time.
[Vibrant Accessories] t1n0m3n:
Try a file transfer on N with the compatibility mode off (N Only) versus in B/G/N mode. You should see a speed increase on N only. However, with everything RF, you might have interfering neighbors that will influence testing.
[Vibrant Accessories] gallagherm1993:
Some of the wireless routers will slow down. it has to do with the router only having one band. In a dual simultaneous router, one band can be slowed to G speeds, such as my PS3 or my dad's 2nd gen iPod touch. My vibrant, however is automatically positioned on a completely seperate stream from the G devices.
